In the first position that pawn can´t take the bishop because then you can move your rook attacking their queen and she is pinned (can´t move because is aligned with the king). The second position you can move the rook, attack the queen, and he must take it. The common value of the pieces are pawn:1, bishop,knight3, rook:5, queen:9 so winning a quen for a rook is an excellent trade.

Great points and comments here. Few things to add:
-one big benefit for our candidates doing our take-home project is that they only need to do one assessment that can they qualify them for dozens of companies. Rather than have to do 5-6 different take-homes for different employers.
-Before a candidate begins an assessment we are very upfront with what knowledge and skills you will need before you start. If there is any way we can make this clearer, we'd definitely be open to feedback
-At the moment, it is quite manual how we match employers to the right candidates (we usually do this by fully understanding what the candidate will be doing on the job and helping them prioritize the right skills based on that)
-We try our best to give feedback to every candidate that comes on to our platform- regardless if they make it through the assessment or not. In particular, candidates who do interviews with employers we are very active with asking employers for feedback on a candidates interview performance so we can deliver more candid feedback than they could give.

Very much agree that candidates these days are not receiving candid feedback that they can action on after they interview with employers, and this is a whole other issue that needs to be solved.

Perhaps it is more nuanced than that: getting the patient to eat after surgery is probably the most important thing - and perhaps burgers are the way to do that for the majority of patients?

A quick Google of keywords (weight loss after cardiac surgery) shows papers with sentences like "Patients who lost weight faced a significantly increased risk of mortality than those who experienced no changes or gained weight after surgery", and "We conclude that obesity confers a survival advantage in the setting of the CABG surgery", "While various large-scale randomized controlled studies evaluated different post-operative
nutrition strategies in rather mixed cohorts of critically ill patients, only few small clinical studies
specifically investigated its effects in cardiac surgery patients. In these studies, malnutrition has been
reported to increase morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery".

Believe me it's the same here. Rich pretentious people that post here rarely step out of their bubble, but if they did for five seconds they'd realize there are still real people struggling and the idea of cutting meat out or raising the prices via a tax to get people to eat less is outrageous.
Don't discount the placebo effect. Just because you can't see it, just because you can't measure it, don't mean something doesn't exist.

I think the key difference here is also competition. If Intel's foundry can't get 10nm right then Intel is SoL until that's resolved. Whereas AMD was able to ditch GF for TSMC as soon as it became clear that TSMC had the superior process.

I'd say silver lining of advertising as it's done today is that the budgets are so high, I know many artists that would not survive without it.

My behance feed is full of artists doing amazing things, being supporded by ad company budgets. GMUNK actually has a great talk on this, I think it's 'pearl 5'

There would have to be a fundamental shift in our economic system, not just 'advertising', for artists to be able to have a support system outside of corporate sponsorship and gigs.

I lived in a space that size in an urban area for years. Saved money, had a whole city to go out in. They call such arrangements a "crash pad". We had a half decent kitchen, but enjoyed all the local restaurants, and the local hackerspace for projects that took space, a store across the street for all the things you didn't have the house. I'd much prefer living in a tiny urban apartment to a rural space where you can't walk anywhere, have to store everything you need at home, etc.

I could be misreading it but sounds like 31mil is the limit on "alternative cash payment" for those who opt out of the credit monitoring. Seems the rest is used for those who are opting for getting credit monitoring, then remediation for those who actually had identity theft happen, identity restoration services, and probably related provable damages to having identity stolen or something tangible damaged from the breach.

So seems like the difference may be between those who just had data exposed in the breach (credit monitoring or small cash payment), vs those with additional provable damages from the breach (identity theft, damaged credit, dealing with damages/fallout from those, etc). Not saying I agree, just what I can see in settlement docs.

The FTC could really be communicating this all better here.

Edit: link to proposed settlement doc

Can you explain ? Because my mental model of this is wireless carriers, cable TV, etc, with good margins.

Cable carriers usually have a monopoly in the places they operate. We have seen carriers have to be more competitive as T-mobile got aggressive as prices did fall.

And they'll surely grow, globally.

Growing selling physical goods aggressively means setting up more warehouses, more expensive logistics, catering to different languages, etc.

In the worlds biggest markets - India and China they would have to compete with entrenched incumbents and in the case of China, government subsidized businesses.

Right, but when do you need to simultaneously wait on more than 64 things other than for I/O? I've never had to wait on that many mutexes...

(P.S. there is a really ugly way to get around this on Windows if for some bizarre reason you really need to, which is to have 1 thread per 64 handles, then wait on the thread handle instead. I've never found a need do even get close to doing such a thing though.)
Like food, right? If people stopped selling you food you would die, so surely they can charge extortionate rates for it.

Of course, there are competitive markets for both food and insulin in the US. Quoting from a letter to the WSJ yesterday,

> Eli Lilly makes three types of insulin, which in most states you can buy over-the-counter at Wal-Mart for $24 per 1000 unit bottle. One hundred syringes cost $12. I have serious diabetes mellitus and have managed it with Lilly insulin for a decade for under $100 a month.

For some drugs there aren't competitive markets, and in some cases the government prevents competition, but both are typically temporary situations (patents, first-mover advantages) that help to get the drug on the market in the first place. An extortionate price for a drug is better than no access at all, and doubly so when it is going to give way to genuine price competition.
Yeah, as much as I would like to see a market-based solution to this, I'm not sure how it would work exactly.

Equifax seems to be the exception to the rule that most of the data lost in most of the breaches we hear about was given voluntarily; the customers are the ones getting screwed and they still willingly hand over their data to anyone who offers a small discount or even just a newsletter sign-up.

It seems like most people don't care about privacy, at least not enough to pay more for it.

Yeah, just drink tap water. Bottled water is quite a big waste with all the plastic, transport etc. Especially in countries with great water supply like Finland, it shouldn't exist were it not for marketing.
So I'm consenting by needing electricity? Water? a bank account?

I though consent required option.

Think of the other use of the word, generally reserved for sexual intercourse. Imagine that 'consent' having strings attached.

Want to go to college? Consent. Want electricity? Consent.

I think we can all agree this would be ludicrous. That Consent would not be real. It would be viewed for what it is: taking by force.

It's why we don't even allow many actions when power is involved (subordinates). We view the power imbalance as so extreme, that invisible strings can form, thereby removing the ability for the subordinate to truly freely consent.

As an American society, I think this is understood. We value consent in many places. Yet for some reason, the financial institutions can redefine consent as they see fit, blatantly attaching strings to basic survival needs.
What I meant is that if a tram breaks down on the track, or there is an obstruction on the track, any other tram is stuck dead in the water. A bus can drive around stationary objects.

The trams in melbourne suburbs usually drive down the middle of the road, and stop in the middle of the road, meaning people exit in the middle of the road and have to walk across it to the footpath, halting the traffic. Conversely buses pull over to the side of the road, usually into a lane that is used for parking, or at the most stopping only the one lane of traffic.

This seems to be a more frequent occurrence in the last few years with class action settlements going “viral” for lack of a better word. I believe it’s called dilution of class. In theory I think the judge is supposed to consider the number of class members & their estimated recovery before granting final approval but I suspect by that point nobody cares.

Hey there, thank you for sharing your cousin's story.

I think you're definitely right that a great place to target are programs outside of top 10 CS programs. I do believe we could bring the biggest benefit to these new grads. Do you have any suggestions on how to best reach these types of candidates?

We have also seen similar sentiment toward senior software engineers. I think something we've also noticed though is that there is such a demand for talent, that we've actually been able to convince employers to hire high potential candidates with no experience even though they were initially looking for a candidate with 2-3 years of experience.

Today, we actually focus on startups that have a challenge hiring themselves (i.e. because they lack large budgets and/or brand name), and so hiring "undervalued" talent is actually a great way for them to attract and hire talent!
You don't need to double check, you just have a way to remove emails from the queue. And doing simple removal from the queue only when someone unsubs is much less work than checking every e-mail in the queue against some central subscriber list, before sending.
Part of the problem is also that LAT just costs more. I can get the WaPo through Amazon for $4/month, and the NYT is about $6/month on an educational discount. LAT has no obvious digital discounts, and their base price is $8/month. If they dropped that down to the WaPo price, I'd seriously consider it, just to get the state and local coverage for SoCal.

I've heard about TSMC working on so-called "3nm", so while I don't know whether it approaches physical limits (those nanometers are just marketing speak after all), it's certain that we have another 10-15 years of progress ahead of us.
Correct. Consider an initially stationary sail. Even though this isn't physically what is happening, you can imagine the reflection from the point of view of the sail as a photon getting absorbed and a photon of exactly the same frequency being emitted immediately after in the opposite direction. Now, to a stationary observer, the sail will have started moving after the absorption, so the emmitted photon will be redshifted due to the Doppler effect.

It's only be a very tiny amount of course at normal velocities, probably smaller than the energy wasted due to a mirror not being 100% efficient. To extract all the kinetic energy of a bundle of light, you'd have to bounce it between two mirrors many times. Maybe that's a possibility for shorter distances, perhaps during take off?
The first spam on Usenet was by a company called DEC. DEC was known for its great products (VAX, OpenVMS, Alpha) but for shitty management and marketing.

I've witnessed the Internet before Web 2.0. Yes I received Viagra spam on my mailbox as well. Amount bought thanks to all of that spam: zero. The marketeer does not care about any second in my life I wasted thanks to their spam. Neither do the assholes who hosted them. And still, that Internet functioned. Of course the bills for the IRC server and Usenet server need to be paid. Usenet access was just part of my monthly dial-up subscription though.

As far as I am concerned the invention of high quality (relatively) search engines and high quality (relatively) fact sources such as Wikipedia as well as high quality, honest reviewers could easily make up for advertising. How is such paid for? Donations and credit card.

2. Russian government officials stated they would shoot them down.

3. Russia had NOTHING to lose by shooting down missiles in defense of an ally, e.g. no political risk.

4. Russia had everything to gain by demonstrating the capability to deter a NATO strike, especially given the context of using Syria to advertise its weapons.

>If I had the resources and know-how, I'd start a radio station on this premise. I've noticed that most radio stations feel like they play more commercials than actual music

Of course. They're all owned by ClearChannel these days, so why should they play more music than ads? What are people going to do, switch to another (ClearChannel) radio station? You might also notice the ads are usually playing at the same time if you switch between stations.

Non-NPR radio is basically just like landlines and cable TV these days. The only people who still use/listen to/watch these things are dinosaurs who haven't moved on to streaming radio (or just buying your own music), cellphones, and streaming movies, so these companies are milking these people for all they're worth.

You are correct sir. When first coming to the US from Mexico I felt something (of my ALWAYS up to this point)- resilient stomach was going wrong. After doing some research plus experimentation, I realized back home I ate some kind of bone broth multiple times per week. The glycine and collagen in general inside it is so restorative you would not believe it. I find it to be extremely relaxing and anti inflammatory to consume it at least once per week.

Plus the meat I did consume had some mixture of tendon/cartilage in it. Once I figured out what was missing it has been only smooth sailing for my stomach.

Regarding meat and bodybuilding, I would like to comment that there is simply no comparison for the amount of vitamins and mineral in meat, plus the absorbability of not having lectins and oxalates to leech them. There is a reason why both my grandmother's insisted on cooking their children liver once a week and they all grew up very healthy individuals.
