I usually try to submit a resume in html format. One time I applied for a job, and their online application rejected my upload, telling me it had to be PDF, Word, or plain text format. In frustration I copy/pasted the text content into an emacs buffer (not the html itself, just the text shown in the browser). I tried to pretty it up a bit, but forgot to save my final draft, so the interviewers got a resume that started like this:

;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation.
;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,
;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer.

What followed was extremely poorly formatted plain text.
Needless to say, I felt really embarrassed to find this out during the interview, and was baffled that the internal recruiter had even considered me.

One of the interviewers said he thought I was "trying to be all retro hipster".

I got the job.
"Statusfeststellungsverfahren" is an (gov) insurance thing (the process is run by the "Rentenversicherung" (the pension fund)), it has (I think, not a lawyer) nothing to do with the Finanzamt (German IRS). That is an entirely different thing.

> The possibility to use private insurance depends on having some minimum amount of income.

This is incorrect. If you are self-employed you are off the state records. You can yourself choose to insure yourself using the gov insurances ("Freiwilligenversicherung"). But that is _usually_ an awfully bad deal (though ethically the right thing to do and I personally hope they eventually do the "Bürgerversicherung", which will level the terms for everyone).

The minimum income thing is only for dependent(regular)-employees. They are forced to be in the gov-insurance unless they exceed a certain income. If they do, they can choose (which often makes sense because private insurance has way better benefits and is way cheaper if you (consistently) have a high income (I don't know the current rate, 14% for the employee and 12% for the employer [and both if you are self-employed?])).

> Also, I currently use the option to use public insurance (voluntarily) so that I can easily switch back to it once I become employed again in the future.

They have to take you back unless you are 50+ I think (google the details). If you are dependently employed you _have to_ be in the gov insurance unless you exceed the minimum income. Buckle up, it's the law!
Because of that many privately insured people therefore often seek to get back into regular employment if they get closer to 50, to properly exploit the system.

> Apparently, there is some risk of not being accepted by the public insurers after one had quit.

This is age specific. Generally at least the "AOK" (kinda the fallback gov insurance company) has to always take you. In fact I think even private insurances _have to_ take you since quite a few years now - it's awfully expensive, but you are never supposed to be uninsured in Germany.
The article you're replying to includes claims that amount to tax fraud. In other words, the governments in question are claiming that Activision is not paying what the law demands.

But more generally: I don't think anybody seriously believes that you should pay the government more than it's due. What people (myself included) believe is that the government is due more than it currently demands from the wealthy and from large corporations.
It isn't a single entity you're referring to, so it's difficult to tell who you're disappointed with.
yes, in the sense that everything that's on the cap table (including special dividends, etc.) won't affect the P&L, except for the interest payments. but investors in the company treat interest payments separately, because it's just part of apportioning who on the cap table gets what. that's why investors often look at EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) and enterprise value as opposed to market cap, as enterprise value includes the value of the debt.

I remember a story about historian couple (sadly I can't find it) who tried to live like the 1880's.

The husband basically came home completely exhausted every single day. The wife, however, literally broke down because the housework was completely relentless. She was completely busy maintaining the household every single waking moment.

Big families weren't just because of lack of birth control.
A link could easily be a URN that identifies the target by its hash, all the protocols for that are already in place e.g. magnet links.
PDF doesn't have JS and hyperlinking, so I guess all you'd need would be HTML, even ignoring CSS, which could be tailored to the reader, e.g. Latex style, troff style etc.

Vanilla html with images embedded as data URNs should be pretty darn portable for the forseeable future.

Heres the kicker, it's a text based protocol, and a dead simple one, eben if we should loose all browsers in the big browser war of 2033, its super easy to reverse engineer. PDF not so much.

All it takes is strict enforcement. The rules are already there.

Many of the popovers (basically all that you can't easily dismiss without giving consent to anything unnecessary) don't result in valid consent.

Twenty page privacy policies are also questionable: "the request for consent shall be presented in a manner which is clearly distinguishable from the other matters, in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language."

I also hope that the ones that ask for consent with a modal pop-up create a modal pop-up offering you to revoke consent on every page load: "It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent."

Strict enforcement of the existing rules is all that's needed. Getting consent is going to be really hard, to the point where web sites may be best of not asking for it, and only doing what they can without processing personal data.

In clinical practice, the structured tools typically are based on patient response...a set of standard questions like a medical history or an ordinary diagnosis by a physician. In the US a typical assessment includes "Do you have guns in your house?" with follow up about their status, storage and use when the answer is affirmative. Or in terms of intervention, the clinician and patient discuss guns because firearms are a common means of suicide in the US.

Someone who can and will build their own is very committed to understanding a great many things. This guy has gone and read what doctors with diabetes have to say because doctors without diabetes are not an adequate source of information for his purposes.

To build one you can sell to anyone who has diabetes (and the money or insurance to cover it) you have to do a lot of "idiot proofing." You can't assume they will keep up with all the information, best practices, etc.

They want it to just work and that's not what you are seeing with the build-your-own crowd.
Hy made me reconsider Lisps and I'm glad it did. I'm now using CL quite a lot. It's possible to use Python libraries from CL:

- there is py4cl and async-process: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl#python

- NumCL is a clone of Numpy: https://github.com/numcl/numcl

Common Lisp has many advantages though:

- you can build a self-contained binary of your app, including web app. It's such a breeze to deploy, and it's possible to ship a binary to users.

- the REPL is much better and more fun than ipython

- CL is compiled. We compile our code function by function, and we get many compiler warnings at compile time.

- CL is stable, the syntax is simple, you can add the syntax you want with extensions (decorators, string interpolation,…) and yet, the implementations keep improving, and new ones are created (Claps, CL on LLVM).

- CL is fast (how pgloader got rewritten from Python to CL: https://tapoueh.org/blog/2014/05/why-is-pgloader-so-much-fas...)

- there may be more libraries than you think: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl

- the object system is very nice, the multiple dispatch makes me have a cleaner and shorter ABI of my app.

- there are more editors with good support than Emacs: Atom support is getting very good, and there's more: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht...

- the (default) package management system works with "distributions", à la apt/Debian, so it doesn't break suddenly because of a third party of a third party dependency.

Of course, the web stack is less mature (but more promising: see Weblocks http://40ants.com/weblocks/) and CL might be more difficult. It's not for every one. But it's been a joy so far.

Seems to me this is a principle-agent problem, really. Manufacturers and the FDA are only liable for one part of the system's safety - immediate injury or death attributable directly to a specific error. They're not liable for the gradual systemic damage caused by not using closed loop algorithms (due to worse blood glucose control).

I understand what you mean. I more mend it, for the people from the outside, who sometimes, so easily, make their judgements and come with their advice.

Although I live in a rather liberal country, the choices are still rather limited. The general approach for people with dementia who are accepted in a care home is palliative care: focus on their well-being, not on extending or shortening life. But there is some room for movement, although the final decision is always in the hands of the responsible physician. For example, as family (or personal representatives) you may indicate that you wish that the administration of antibiotics should start as soon as an infection is suspected or delay it as long as possible, instead of it being administered only to relieve discomfort. We decided for palliative care. But still I felt that there were moments, when choice were made to extend her life. Not with respect to medical treatment, but with respect to feeding her. She was given special high-energy drinks and especially in the last half year, a lot of effort was made to feed her. For example, when she was too tired during a meal time, they would try to give it at another moment. Yet, I felt that I did not have the moral right to interfere or to even bring up the issue. I have respect for the manner in which the decisions were made by her physician and the people who took care for her. Although it was hard to go through the experience, in the end I was at peace with my decision to not to interfere and basically let the professionals make the decisions. But maybe my situation was much easier than yours, because my wife long ago had lost the faculty to know that there were any decisions to be made.

Sure, but the "Elsevier" that existed from 1880 to sometime in the 1970s or so was very different from today's Elsevier. Basically, some entity bought it, and set out to monetize its reputation, by raising prices to what universities would tolerate.

We've seen the same process in the pharmaceutical and newspaper industries, and likely others.
I dont see why anyone would put different content in the two papers since its so trivial to be ridiculed for that. I dont think arxiv has resources to review if the preprints are the same as the final, and it seems an overkill thing to do .

I want to call out https://www.regular-expressions.info/ since it was, for a long time, one of the better/best resources on regexes that I was able to find. I learned a lot from this ... guy, essentially.
In 2012: https://www.zdnet.com/article/25-gpus-devour-password-hashes...

That's 7.2 billion hashes per second per single Radeon GPU for md5. For 8 character password with numbers and letters that's 8.5 hours max and 4.25h on average.. The numbers only got better since then, I expect it's at least halved for this year's hardware. (edit: 1080ti does 32GHps, so yeah... make that 1h on average https://www.servethehome.com/password-cracking-with-8x-nvidi... )

Assumptions, not specified in the article:

- The salt is stored with the hash (this is a standard approach)

- It's only a trivial implementation with a single round of MD5. If they used multiple rounds or PBKDF1, then the hash choice doesn't matter as much.
That is the way more ethical thing, but it is almost never the best thing from either a financial and certainly not from a health perspective _if_ you exceed a certain income (and the barrier here is pretty low unless you have many kids, which depending on your income distribution you may have to privately insure separately).

If you are self-employed, the public insurance is really nothing more but another (rather unattractive) insurance company you can choose from.
I only assume the poster above is really referring to corruption, where companies with vested interests are not just 'lobbying' for their outcome, but buying them outright...

Otherwise there is (or at least should be) no difference.
The Wire introduced (actually, misunderstood and propagated the misunderstanding of) the term.
I consider myself to be fairly well versed in regex having used it for years, but a recent task to match only stored procedure definitions including the optional block comments immediately preceding them (if any) in large SQL scripts proved completely exasperating. I was deep in the weeds trying to get it to do optional positive look-behind assertions before I just gave up and wrote some code to do it.

The gory details of how to just match block comments are best outlined by this blog post detailing one kindred spirit's journey through the wilderness: https://blog.ostermiller.org/find-comment, although this wasn't particularly helpful to my situation, it was reassuring to know that I was not alone and might prove interesting to the crowd here.
Moving the Needle on Gun Violence
they should be sued based on the number of breached records, period. let their insurance company dictate what hash algorithm to use. Damages would be automatically awarded to plaintiffs based on what data was breached. Just like a car accident: you destroyed my rear bumper, tail light, and window, the damages were $3200. Pay up.
If 97% of your profits go to servicing debt that you would not have if it wasn’t for the LBO that was forced on you externally, perhaps the business climate is not the real issue.

In addition to the 'practice' stated elsewhere, the other thing someone needs to really get to grips with something like regex is a 'reason'.

I never really got the point of regexes until I discovered capture groups. Pretty much everything I use them for is based on some problem like:

"Change date format from 'DD-MM-YY' to 'YYYY-MM-DD'"

"Keep only lines in the log file with a date in them"

"Swap the first name and last name of every contact in this list which has a comma in it"

"Rename all the files in this folder to strip out all the gubbins and put the useful stuff in a standard format"

And so on. You need a problem where doing it any other way than regex would be lengthy and painful and the regex itself is light and breezy. You build up little snippets or "phrases" that you can re-use easily to solve new problems.
Eh, I’ve never really found that candidates I’ve interviewed with an established open source presence are any better than those without. It does not impress me as an interviewer at all anymore.
There is also the practical side to be considered. It is very easy to police spam with bots, and racism basically requires human intervention to recognize and moderate.
But it can make internal investment impossible and make the entire company act in cost-cutting mode, which isn't necessarily helpful to maximize profit. Eventually, the profitable business would stop being profitable.

Were the alternatives better for the stockholders or the CEO? And, were the alternatives better for which stockholders?

The number of firms that have started public, gone private, and then gone public again seems to indicate that private equity doesn't seem to be adding business value.

In addition, a lot of private equity seems to be about stripping cash from companies in creative ways--effectively the endgame of the "hostile takeover and then partition the company" from the 1980's. Toys R Us, Sears, K-Mart sure didn't seem to benefit from private equity.
Personally I've actually come to prefer such titles—where the thesis is in the title, and I can judge at once whether I should read for details. I'd aim for about 200 characters. HN is already full of uninformative links.

I get that you offer different types of tools, but my point is that trusting one company that markets tracking to anonymize the tracking of another company that markets tracking seems backwards regardless of if you say that this specific product actually does tracking or not.

I had a similar experience, but I made the mistake of taking the job. I spent several months in denial about how smart people who act so... not smart. At one point, I asked the CTO for guidance on how to work with the team architect whose feelings I kept hurting. For example, I wrote a constructor for a class, and the architect asked me what "def initialize" was for, and got upset when I asked if they knew how OOP in the language worked. Another time they asked me for help on a weekend to figure a null pointer error on a machine that wasn't running the software they were trying to debug, and got upset when I pointed that out. I brought up both examples to the CTO. The CTO pointed out that the Architect had 10 more years of experience than I did, and while I might be right, I probably wasn't. Then the CTO said (direct quote) "you have delusions of grandeur about your technical abilities" to my face. I started looking for a new job immediately after that conversation. After I left, I heard the project got canceled, the architect got promoted, and they were hiring devs straight out of bootcamps because they couldn't attract anyone with experience.

Nice theory, but in practice many banks do not actually carry risk, because they are “too big to fail”. LBOs fall in the same category as credit default swaps - useful in theory, huge moral hazard in our version of a “free market”.
