There's a secondary problem too: They are questions that have right and wrong answers, and they break down quickly if the candidate realizes that the truth is a liability.

Having been in panels where we had to ask some of those specific questions (specifically for hiring managers), and then seeing how those managers acted later on the job, the very worst hires (manipulative people who have no interest in the company as a whole, but gaining power) always ace those questions. The best hires of the lot, in practice, tended to give worse answers with some red flags, and only double checking on said red flags showed that yes, the rough edges in the answers were absolutely justified by their experiences.

So I'd not ask those questions myself when I can help it, as I'd rather not select for the best available manipulator.
Where did you get the idea that the only purpose of a “well-regulated militia” is to completely replace a standing army? Just because some of the founders were against the idea of standing armies doesn’t mean that they saw it as an “either/or” proposition.
> If you've been asked to leave, the crime would be trespassing.

If you are asked to leave, it would means that you were found, doesn't it?

If you are found, you lose, you don't go to jail.

I mean, based on a fair bit of the news coming out of corporations lately, being adept at bullshitting is probably exactly what they want.

Corporate reps talking to the public need to bullshit. Corporate bosses don't want to hear the truth, they want to be bullshitted. Corporate management want to know the problems aren't their fault, so they want to be bullshitted too. And then when the whole thing implodes and all the executives fly away on golden chutes to ruin other companies, they'll end up bullshitting people too about everything they "learned" spending billions of other people's dollars, most of which was in turn bullshit spun to them by their subordinates.

I see a lot of room for good bullshitting to be a part of a resume.
Wow, I'm super curious to know how you define "faculties" and "real job."

Given the importance of employee retention and satisfaction and the number of companies that DO actively demonstrate compassion for their employees, I'm also very curious what you think "employee engagement" is.

(off-topic) Just curious, have you heard of the game "Control" that was just released? I've been playing it, and it borrows heavily from SCP (and I mean heavily -- it's the same concept).

Just wondering your thoughts on that, for such a big-budget production to make use of SCP concepts? Reminds me of the Slenderman films (except much much better).
"It doesn’t contain vodka or any other distilled spirits. Instead it is made through fermentation, like beer, but starting from a base of sugar instead of cereal grains like barley."

This is a roundabout way of saying it's undistilled vodka. All spirits are fermented before distillation (or else what is there to distill?), and some vodkas already start with pure sugar instead of grains, potatoes, or fruit.
I was under the impression that it is in consideration of population growth, so that per capita prices would stay the same.

Which fallacy is it when you dismiss something cogent and pertinent by misappropriating a fallacy? Remarkably it's probably the most common fallacy of all.

"Whataboutism" is entirely off base because that isn't what I did whatsoever.

We're talking about the motives of literal Google employees. Finding and reporting bugs is hugely important for everyone, but they sure are making a lot of noise, and adding a lot of narrative and PR tactics, for a long patched iOS bug.

Or maybe it's just that Android bugs are expected, so they don't get much attention any more?

"handful of deep-dives into issues with Google software"

First one I went into -- third party reported, widely known problem in external graphics library. Project Zero did not find it, did not report it, and this is just tourism after the fact that points the finger outwards.

Second one -- Linux kernel. Pointing the finger outwards.

Third one -- Clear fault in Chrome, but conclusion is that it's actually the fault of ASLR and that the OS isn't memory-bounding Chrome. Pointing the finger outwards.

Fourth one -- Tiny post that says it found a "couple" of bugs that are probably not exploitable. Bug minimization.

They have another that attacks Samsung software. Pointing the finger outwards.

This isn't a hugely compelling example of their intentions. Show me one where they make the extraordinary claim that it was long exploited without any evidence whatsoever (elsewhere you claimed that Google knew because they "crawl", but in actuality this Project Zero claim was made purely based upon the span of versions the bug targeted), or make editorial comments about QA or source control processes. Instead it looks an awful lot like hand-washing.

I pick up the URL for validation request at the edges and pass it to a specialized backend that handles validation.

Certs/keys get added to a key:value store that is monitored by the edges.

Each edge know the timestamp of the current key:cert pair that the edge successfully wrote (if there was an update) or the timestamp of the current key:cert pair that the config-baker wrote during the edge built process if edge has never wrote a key key:cert pair. If the timestamp is newer, then the edge updates the key/cert and restarts itself with a new cert.

The key:value store for keys is also monitored by a config-baker. When a config-baker detects a change in key pairs, it writes a new initial configuration JSON with new keys/certs which is stored in the infrastructure management git. So when a new edge is built and launched by the infrastructure policy enforcer, it would immediately have the keys on it as soon as it comes into service at which point it will become just another edge following the same "protocol"

Edit:

Currently it manages 671 certificates on 16 different edges. After a new key:cert is published in a "go" mode it rolls out in ~1 minute to all the edges.

HN is funny. There is always a response to questions posed in this manner explaining why some extraordinary circumstance is true rather than just agreeing with the premise raised by your question.

There was a question posed the other day "What car could you possibly be driving that would mean 10% of your driving tickets is a number greater than 1?" Instead of saying the figure may have been an exaggeration the answer was basically, "I drive a racecar."

> Obviously I was laughed at for someone who's actually had 10 years experience with c++ to forget something so basic but it happens when you are on the spot.

This 100% happened to me (apart from being laughed at) only it was even more of a meltdown. Also 10 years experience and a problem I could do in my sleep. It was my first interview after a long time and it triggered performance anxiety and nervousness.

The solution is you need to practice live interviews, not just leetcode solo.
Clearly these camps are meant to represent extreme points in the developer space. It's not meant to pigeonhole all developers into one and only one of them. Of course most people sit somewhere between these three camps.

What information in the P0 blog posts on this topic was false or misleading? I read Apple's response, then I read the P0 blog post, but I don't see anything in Apple's response that actually rebuts anything that the P0 blog post said about this vulnerability.

Apple says "Google’s post ... creates the false impression of 'mass exploitation' to 'monitor the private activities of entire populations in real time,'". But Google's post doesn't do that. Those sentences occur late in the blog post, and aim to educate about the risks posed by software vulnerabilities in general, not these specific vulns. That is abundantly clear from the text. The only way to get the impression that Google was doing otherwise is to merely skim the post.

It seems like Apple is mostly annoyed that the press latched on to this, although honestly I question how much it matters since nobody seems to pay any lasting attention to these types of stories anyway.

Who said there's no grace period? Python 2/3 is dealt with the same way.

On 1) a rolling distribution not called NixOS 2) which mindlessly installs wget2 3) and does not use their own power to install or name the binaries according to their own view, sure 4) nor use a grace period and badly informs the user(s) which something like Homebrew would... then yes, it is a problem.

On a distribution which has stable and LTS releases such as Fedora/Ubuntu/Debian it is no problem as long as users would read the release notes.

It could be a problem on Arch and Gentoo, but whenever those users run into trouble you could argue PEBCAK or go fix it yourself. Same for those running -CURRENT on *BSD.

I'll speculate that facebook will never "delete its internal record of your face" as the title states. They're using misleading words to make this sound like a significant concession, when it isn't.

Suppose Alice appears in photos with Bob. And that Carol appears in other photos with the same Bob. Facebook can infer the Alice..Bob..Carol relationships.

If Bob "opts-out", facebook will still know that Alice appears in photos with unnamed person, and also that Carol appears with same unnamed person. So they'll infer the Alice..unnamed person..Carol relationships.

If, hypothetically, facebook offered Bob the option "do not use my face in your algorithms." Then maybe they wouldn't link Alice and Carol. But all facebook is offering here is "don't associate my face to my account".

This cleverly gives facebook some cover. Bob might ask facebook, "don't use my face to surveil my friends", but facebook can say "how could we possibly do that? We don't associate your face with your account, so we can't associate your face with your preference, even if we wanted to."

Ok, now I get to trot out my framework for determining whether something is an opportunity or not. There are three basic ways to get ahead, a) to climb a ladder up a mountain, b) to build a ladder up a mountain that already exists, c) or to build a mountain. Only the first qualifies as an opportunity.

Most 'opportunities' are really just directions to places on mountains to build ladders, or places where no mountain exists.

Access to real ladders to ascend real mountains is heavily guarded and rare. Finding places to build ladders is probably what you're thinking of as an opportunity, but I would not consider that opportunity.

If I had few million bucks in the bank to enter a market with, then I can consider building ladders a real opportunity.

This seems a lot like you making assumptions about their expectations and/or acting on their expectations/your assumptions; rather than acting the way you think is correct.

If you aren't their personal dev, then don't be one. The only thing my presence in a client's slack means is that I (and/or the other people from my company in their slack) am reasonable first point of contact. I'm perfectly happy telling them that their problem is not one I can solve (or choose to prioritize), and that they should touch base with <appropriate person>.
I am patronizing you, but I'm not religious or prudish in the least, and I never said that nobody should ever be attracted to their friend; only that they might find it weird. You're not really listening to what I'm saying, though, you're just being defensive at the idea that your affections for your friends might be regarded badly. You can feel however you want about others, but don't expect them to be super flattered that you want to have sex with them.

> Otherwise there's no way to even consider getting a grasp of what P(H) would be.

That's called picking a prior. Usually, pick the prior that maximizes the entropy on the given interval (zero prior knowledge).

For those reading and confused. Computing:
p(H|x) = p(x|H)p(H)/p(x)

requires p(H) which the parent is suggesting is impossible to grasp.

If we want to know the probability that a coin is biased, we can assign probabilities to each hypothesis. For some people, p(bias=1/2)=1 (Dirac distribution), others might argue that p(bias=x)=1 for x in [0,1] (uniform distribution). Others might argue its some Beta function centered around 1/2. I believe what the parent is suggesting is that choosing which original belief we have in the system is a matter of philosophy, not computation.

Great post!

I love this: "a social reading platform built around the central tenet that reading an article to completion should be an essential prerequisite for sharing, commenting on or rating it."

In other words: "People can't have opinions on stuff they haven't read."
There is a difference between "truth does not exist" and "we cannot know the truth".

In theory, we can take a now worthless stock and look back in time to determine the actual present value at a given point in the past.

In theory, we can imagine an outside observer running an arbitrarily large copies of our universe from a given point in time to determine the probability curve at said point in time (under whatever model of randomness you want to use). More plausibly, we can take a set of predicted probability curves and look back to see how accurate they were (did events predicted with uncorralated 50% probability happen half the time?).

Economics is hard, because it is very difficult to determine these facts, even in retrospect, but they still exist.

> hypothesis proven

I broadly agree with you but just want to flag up that there is subtlety here that's important.

The scientific method is really more focused on disproving hypotheses than proving them.

The goal isn't to prove your model describes exactly what is happening. You actually assume it doesn't, but is good enough as far as you know for practical purposes, for now.

Trying to refute aspects the model sort of provides evidence that it isn't obviously incorrect, so in a sense you are supporting the hypothesis by not disproving it, but the goal really is ultimitely to refute it and then refine the model accordingly so it becomes better over time. You're never 'done' - the model/hypothesis is never 'proven'. It's a subtle distinction, but an important one.
This is getting tiring. I have to submit a form to tell Facebook to delete data about my face. Submit a form to opt out of binding arbitration for each credit card.

When she pipes up, everyone takes cover. Ironically, when she makes the noise, our barn cats look to start hunting/ crouching. They are fantastic predators.
