> For more than two decades, McElroy was suspected of being involved in theft of grain, gasoline, alcohol, antiques, and livestock, but he avoided conviction when charges were brought against him 21 times—often after witnesses refused to testify because he allegedly intimidated them, frequently by following his targets or parking outside their homes and watching them.

> McElroy began stalking the Bowenkamp family, and eventually threatened Bo Bowenkamp in the back of his store with a shotgun in hand. In the ensuing confrontation, McElroy shot Bowenkamp in the neck; Bowenkamp survived, and McElroy was arrested and charged with attempted murder. McElroy was convicted at trial of assault, but freed on bail pending his appeal. Immediately after being released at a post-trial hearing, McElroy went to the D&G Tavern, a local bar, with an M1 Garand rifle with a bayonet attached, and made graphic threats about what he would do to Mr. Bowenkamp.

Does an innocent person look like this? You tell me.
Yeah, that's a good point. I think it all comes down to framing. Are you selling a "mood-tracking app" or "a self-administered therapy system" (that happens to use an app as one piece of the system)? The former anchors you very low (too low, I would argue, to build a sustainable business). The latter anchors you against weekly $100+ therapy sessions, which gives you vastly more breathing room.

The flip side is that customers will of course be a lot more discerning and demanding with the latter framing, as they should be. It will be a lot harder to get product-market fit, but if you do, you'll be able to build a great business on top of it, rather than just being another competitor in a race to the bottom.
This is a low quality cheat. There’s a website where people share how they got through interviews and it includes stuff like “Wait for the interviewer to look at the code you’ve written for this specific problem and spot the bug on Line k. They will then ask you if you can think of any edge cases. Try the following edge cases that appear to pass until you hit this edge case that detects the bug. Fix it. Wait for a hint on making it more efficient, then depending on the hints follow this action”. Oddly enough k the person is probably well trained on the problem by that time. Don’t know why they memorize the tree.

For the people who talk about work experience in the past, there are also extensive guides for this sort of thing. They assume a simulation of what they did. Pretty cool. And incredibly exasperating on the other side.
In most other industries, saying something is in "heavy development" is usually the same as "unstable". (Unstable usually is interpretted as Bad in software engineering -- but the dictionary definition of "unstable" only means "prone to change", which I think is an accurate characterization of k8s considering its degree of maturity)

Whether or not something is a smart choice to use in mission-critical production applications doesn't depend on the number of big banks or big tech companies that use the technology.

At the end of the day, Kubernetes is a tool that will change
very rapidly over the next 5 years. I could see k8s being a decent choice to use in a tech project that you expect to actively maintain and improve for the next 5+ years, AND if you (and your developers) are willing to invest time (potentially a lot of time) every year keeping up to speed with how k8s evolves through every version release. That's the primary risk in using something like k8s.

Well said, but in fact they don't need even that. They'd just say they smelled "strong marijuana odor" (the proof it isn't happened now on you, and how exactly you're gonna prove they didn't smell that?) or that a confidential informant (local junkie) told them he have seen a person looking like you doing whatever they want to accuse you of.

Qualified immunity pretty much guarantees there's no punishment for any shenanigan as long as it can be plausibly presented to a judge as the police believing it's lawful (it doesn't need to be lawful, just belief is enough). The worst they risk is evidence being excluded - so no risk at all vs not searching.
“Our responsibility was never to the creators or to the users. It was to the advertisers.”

I'm shocked - absolutely shocked! - that after years of activists and a large chunk of the press using advertisers as a tool to lean on YouTube to ban specific videos, their moderation policies are now largely aimed at keeping advertisers happy. Whoever could've seen that one coming.

To the contrary, some of the best books have so much knowledge in them that you instantly level-up many notches with a single chapter.

For instance, reading The Pragmatic Programmer and JavaScript: The Good Parts early-on changed my professional life irrevocably, both in terms of programming and career.

I am sure there are various other books like those that truly are impactful, and it doesn't hurt to look up recommendations for those from people who are experts / polymaths.

The case against wikis (with the exception of design docs) and blog posts is that they are erratic, restricted, unedited, stale, and low on pedagogical focus. Some of the books are meticulously structured-- there's no comparison.

One thing many people don't realize is that Linux OOM killer is nearly broken in a lot of cases.

For example, if you don't have swap space.

Without swap, Linux is winds up flushing file caches, mmaped files, etc. and usually re-reading them all over again...the machine is technically not out of memory or "swapping", but effectively, it's swapping and unresponsive.

The UK grid is actually pretty well maintained and resilient - and controlled power outages can actually be a positive thing in this sense. It looks like a couple of generators failed within a short period, causing a sudden loss of about a gigawatt. When the frequency drops as a result, automated systems start tripping to prevent a more widespread collapse - it’s much easier to restore power to customers who have been isolated than to recover after a more widespread collapse, like the US northeast blackout in 2003.
'Finance professors at the University of Texas at Austin and Emory University ...examined four groups of users specifically -- a total of 11,000 brokers, corporate executives, white-collar criminals and police officers.

Oh, I don’t think he’s innocent, but all information about this is post facto. All those sources exist after he was killed.

I’m less conspiracy theory about this, and more just remarking (pointlessly, I suppose) how information deteriorates over time. Some may even be true, but used as a tool to build the rest around.
Sounds like Google is trying to dominate one more market. I'm sure they

That's comparing a physical characteristic to a non-physical one. Not even apples to oranges, that's apples to communism. There are possibly some correlations between anatomy and personality characteristics, both those will be weaker. This is literally comparing ethics to ethics.
Airlines can easily abuse this guarantee if they want to. The airline can calculate the loss Google would incur through any price change, and they don't necessarily incur the same losses. They can make price changes specifically to make sure Google flights doesn't make money.

While this case looks to be justice, I have the fortune of experiencing real-life extreme bullying, stalking and ill will for no other reason than profit incentive and having been abused in the first place. Sometimes this sounds crazy to people and it would to me, but I think everyone sees this in school growing up, and history is all about it if you stop and think about it. I've seen examples of it, too, all the time in my life. I'd be weary of promoting justice being taken "into their own hands." But these problems are indeed very challenging, especially in a world where merit and virtue are not necessary, and even are deleterious, to your group's survival.
That's not strictly true. The GDPR contains language that potentially requires you to actually need the data you ask for to "enable" a feature. You could claim you need location to determine Temperature and Currency units for example, but not access to my contacts. Now, how all this holds up, I'm not sure

>Plant based diets have been practiced by not insignificant portions of the population beginning in the 6th-century BCE with Buddhism and Hinduism. An estimated 20-40% of India is currently vegetarian. Not sure "fad" is an accurate descriptor.

In terms of human history, he's right. 6th-century BCE was not very long ago at all: that's less than a mere 3000 years. Humans have been around for over 2 million years.

Also, he's right about the skeletal record: archaeology shows that humans lost about 1 foot of height when they switched to agriculture. Yes, much of India is vegetarian, but Indians tend to be pretty short, but then when they emigrate to western nations and adopt more western diets, their kids end up dwarfing them.
Yes and I recommend trying numba for a mostly seemless optimization using JIT.
I'm no expert, but if the panels now generate additional energy/money that offsets the cost of adding these nano-tubes, doesn't that mean you can meet your power needs with less hardware, or generate extra money to sell back to the grid? It seems like what matters is whether these nanotubes generate more value than they cost.
And before that, we'll see this used for satellites - if there's not too much of a weight penalty.
Saudi Arabia Speeds Up Aramco IPO Timeline to Early 2020
That's certainly true in a scientific paper, where the concept of significant digits is relevant and widely recognized. In a "please remove dead animal" web request, the value is only wrong if it points to the wrong location (i.e. a location that does not contain a dead animal).
There are multiple models (markets) even in today's world, and they have different needs and constraints. When you have lots of space but not a lot of money, you probably optimize for least money per unit of energy. When you have money but limited space (skyscraper rooftop, spacecraft), you might want the most energy per unit of area. And there are times when you need a secondary non-grid solution for redundant backup, so reliability matters more than other factors.

Different technologies with different pros/cons could be best for different markets.

I'm a little confused, because I wasn't aware that there was career progression beyond Senior Developer. I mean, you can go and lead a team or something if you want I guess (in fact, I'm doing that at the moment), but most older developers I know have been and done that, and settled back in highly-paid, highly-respected, and much easier individual contributor / architectural roles. Looks like a good life to me!

The best developer I've ever had the pleasure to work with was a 50-year old senior developer. He cut his teeth doing a lot of C/C++ stuff back in the day, but was also (pretty successfully) leading the company's adoption of Angular. If you have a sharp mind, and you don't get stuck in your ways, then people will be begging for you to be their 50-year old senior developer.

Hiring someone based on whether or not they know a particular algorithm that may or may not have any business relevance to their work, speaks to the process. Obviously the candidate was in the wrong here, but I question what this sort of teaser question actually buys you.

Experience and depth are varied. If you happen to ask a niche question where someone has a lot of depth, then you've identified perhaps deep knowledge on that narrow topic, but what about general problem solving and programming skills?

Growing Your Audience with Interviews
i think you're right. and i don't even need to look at the open border situation in West Virginia. i mean, i can look much closer to where i live (LA).

just from examining the nearby BH/LA border, we see that there may be other "invisible borders" (e.g. "Our prices discriminate so we don't have to") that prevent two populations from really fully merging.

it seems likely that any "open border" is actually accompanied by a unique set of additional, invisible borders, and cultural, financial and linguistic "force fields," sometimes powerful, sometimes weak.

Yes, Haskell is the one language where you can always invest some more time learning something more advanced that will provide you a large boom in productivity.

That has the downside that Haskell developers speak many different idioms, just like Lisp. I'm prone to claim that the code you posted is basic enough that we can consider that people that don't get it are not proficient on the language yet, but there are way too many things right on the fence for that, and they can't all be required.
If you could multiply the efficiency of a given solar cell by 4, all else being equal, you would also reduce the manufacturing cost by 75%.

From other comments, I am guessing this result doesn't give anything like that but one should keep in mind greater efficiency certainly could give great payoffs.
> For example, it's one thing for me to be giving the 1st party some legal rights to collect information about me, it's another thing to allow essentially untrusted 3rd parties to collect as well. Some limits must be in place.

In other words, if I defer any part of my services to a third party, I cannot do it anymore. Goodbye payment processing, fraud detection, spam/DDOS protection... the list is endless. Advertising is the least concern here.

See, that's the difficulty with regulation, you need to be very careful what is and isn't included. You don't want to accidentally prohibit crucial services. You don't want to burden business with liabilities by being vague. You don't want to leave too many loopholes or else your regulation does nothing but cause administrative overhead.

If you have so much faith in politicians to do go good job here, by all means, go out and lobby for this kind of regulation. Let's just say I don't share your optimism.

> My point here might simply be, if it's my information, I should be entitled to know how it's actually being used.

If you don't like your information being used for pretty much any purpose, don't give it to me. I can't preconceive of all the possible ways I am going to handle your data. Maybe I want to switch web hosts, or maybe I want to back it up somewhere else. Maybe I'm an idiot and I'll store it on a database with no password, exposed to the internet.

> This also goes for guests of your home...

Not necessarily. Depending on where this takes place, if you enter my home, I don't have to disclose that you're being video or voice monitored. Maybe you don't like it that way, but those are my rights trumping yours.

> I'd be interested in talking about Japan-esque laws requiring a sound to be played when Siri is activated, much like how a shutter noise must be played when a photo is taken.

This is a good example of a pointless law. Sure, the cameras make a "shutter sound" when taking a photo, but they don't make a sound when recording video. When Siri activates, it does make sound, but if you want to activate it by voice, clearly it needs to listen all the time for the keyword (or whatever sounds like the keyword). There's no way around that.

So, what are you going to do, require bright flashing lights on all cameras/microphones?

The President’s foundations would never have been investigated if he didn't run for office.

Getting “caught” so far has not mattered and only resulted in further consolidation of power. Correlating that so far with infidelity, the only takeaway is that you should put all your mistresses under an NDA, which also wouldn’t have come up if he didn’t run for office resulting in the feds raiding his lawyer’s office and indicting the lawyer due to conduct that became part of the national spotlight! These are things that don’t happen, so all you have to assume is that the President wasn't the genius that invented these tactics and merely used tools available.

The main point I am making here is that this is enough information to rationalize proving an absence:

There are many many people like him at least in an even distribution throughout society. Let alone people with a network of enablers.
So, my completely uninformed guess at what has happened:
1) Saudi Arabia wanted to do an Aramco IPO to raise cash, after $100+/barrel oil was no more
2) Saudi Arabia found out they needed to disclose a lot of the finances of Aramco in order to do that on major stock exchanges, and didn't like that
3) Instead, royal family tried pouring cash into Japanese Softbank, which poured it into tech startups like Uber and WeWork
4) The IPO's of these do not seem to be raising the big profits which were hoped for
5) Back to the idea of an Aramco IPO

Again, just my guess. If so, then we might expect American VC money to recede a bit in the next year, as foreign enthusiasm for funding it cools a bit.

I had a similar thought reading this. The interviewee gave what the interviewer admitted were normal and valid answers, though ‘not what I was looking for’ (uh ok—job seekers aren’t mind readers) but effectively badgered the individual into “cheating” after they repeated multiple times not knowing the fuller answer.

To me, were I the interviewer at that point we’d have already moved on to the next problem set or next question in the interview.
