Did I write this comment? I've had the same feeling. I work on securing VMs in a hypervisor and part of me wants to look at ring 0 to 3 instead of ring -1 to 0 and see if I can fix that instead of bloating cpu specs with more rings.

This is incredibly stupid parenting. You want your daughter getting in fights with boys? Making terrible jokes? This could end so poorly.

> I totally agree that if you care about security you should be running in the opposite direction of k8s.

The parts of k8s that are sticky and hard to change are the API abstractions like Services, Deployments, and Nodes. That's also where a lot of the value add is. Like AWS cloud formation. The only part that is docker-specific are the docker images.

I don't think the sandboxing techniques (i.e. docker) will stay the same for long. There are already multiple initiatives to implement hypervisor-based pods. I think firecracker has a lot of inertia right now, and I'm pretty sure RKT containers with KVM isolation were in beta a couple year ago.

The point is, I don't see how kubernetes has all that much to do with security (at least as far as isolation goes). Docker alternatives will gain traction and k8s will offer them as pod runtimes. Maybe the direction you mean we should be running is the opposite one from Docker?
Anecdotally I would say Dropbox. My friend who had a 4.0 in College who got offers everywhere else didn’t pass Dropbox’s interview. He’s a PhD student at MIT now.
I think yes. Red Hat and others are working on KubeVirt, plus I believe there are CRI implementations for gVisor and Firecracker.

>> Rebalancing an imbalanced dataset is common in industry and academicia. You use that when you focus on accuracy, to make claims like: We were 54% accurate on classifying sexuality of females easily interpretable, without needing a distribution-balanced benchmark (you simply know it is a coin flip).

You quoted The Strength of Weak Learnability and I figured you must have at least a passing acquaintance with computatinal learning theory. In computational learning theory (such as it is) it's a foundational assumption that the distribution from which training examples are drawn is the same as the true distribution of the data, otherwise there cannot be any guarantees that a learned approximation is a good approximation of the true distribution.

The following is a good article on machine learning with unbalanced classes:

http://www.svds.com/learning-imbalanced-classes/

I recommend it as a starting point.

>> This is a very strong claim to make, in the absence of legit discrediting studies that failed to replicate any predictability, and requires more than guessing the authors rebalancing act was "clearly" to improve the accuracy (with 7% negative class, you could get 93% accuracy by always predicting positive class, so if they wanted to inflate the accuracy, they shouldn't have rebalanced).

The gay class was the positive class and the straight class negative, in this case. If you did what you say and identified everyone as straight, you'd get a very high number of false negatives: you'd identify every gay man and woman as being straight. You'd get very high recall but abysmall precision. The authors validated their models using an AUC curve plotting precision against recall and such a plot would immediately show the weakness of an always-say-straight classifier.

>> You keep talking about the paper being widely discredited, but can't provide a single academic source for this.

An "academic source", like a publication in a peer-reviewed journal is not always necessary. For example, you won't find any peer-reviewed work debunking Yuri Geller. In this case my instinct is that no reputable scientist would want to get anywhere near that controversy (and that was one reason I also stayed away).
It's amazing how much his videos get recommended. He plays the algorithm like a fiddle.

If you're in your mid-20s and still get help from your parents then you really need to figure out what's going wrong. A parent's responsibility is to give a child the tools to succeed on their own as soon as possible. But most people are lousy parents who think their method doesn't suck and those flaws survive from generation to generation.
You should build a landing page for your idea and start testing. Spend your money to find a legit copywriter, have him write out the copy to communicate your business value prop ( clearly). You need a logo. Design, Dev, CMS ( wordpress) for payment processor use STRIPE. Make sure your site is stupid fast and keep it simple with a focus on clarity. Next, you need to start testing, testing , testing and then iterating weekly or monthly until you start making money. Try to make money from the jump.

> I mean - there’s an industry around how to do well in programming interviews

A ex-Facebook employee who's an acquaintance runs a highly successful business that employs 250+ people, bootstrapped up until recently when they took in $1.5M in angel funding at $20M val. They aren't that big as there are even bigger players in the market. I'm not sure if existence of such shops is a good indicator of the state of hiring in tech. Also, such business seem to be optimising for a very narrow goal unlike https://podia.com which is a wonderful platform for creators / tutors to monetize their content.

Despite the existence of books, websites, and MOOCs with arguably better content and community which are cheaper or even free, I've seen many instead opt to pay companies that help tame tech interviews. I guess, people only value what they have to pay for.
What is and isn't difficult depends chiefly on the candidate. Ask me about WASM and I'll fail miserably, but if you ask me about GPU architecture I may fare better.
>(which idiotically have been hidden by default more recently)

I can still see the underlined letters. Are you on Windows 10?
Why by 2, why not by 10? What is the basis of your claim? You make an evidence-free claim against a solid number. Here is another, less solid number which does not look good for your claim's validity:
glassdoor's average base salary for an Uber's software engineer in San Jose area is $148750 and average additional pay (bonuses, RSUs etc) is 12011. From the same data, the minimum base is 118K. Now, I don't think it's very reliable, but I would think it's extremely improbable that it both inflated the base salary and greatly underestimated additional pay (by the factor of 10 vs your claim). From this I can safely conclude that 109K Uber's H1Bs in Palo Alto make much less than the average there, even without knowing how much they get in additional pay (if anything at all).

By that logic, surely every interview practice is justified? And the less related to the job, the better?

I could ask a programmer to build a wooden boat, become a proficient opera singer, or complete four marathons in a year.
> That may be true but will also effectively exclude strong experienced candidates with options.

What options will you have as an experienced candidate which are competitive with FAANG?

I'm an experienced engineer, and my leading FAANG offers were over 50% higher than my top non-FAANG offer.

In fact, my non-FAANG offers as an experienced engineer weren't much better than the offers junior candidates get. So unfortunately, it seems if you're an experienced candidate who wants to be appreciated and rewarded for your experience, FAANGs are basically your only option. Non-FAANGs will pay you maybe 30% more than a junior, and for that they'd expect you to lead a team and work twice as hard.

I genuinely like that idea. We should change the patent approval process work like an episode of penn&teller's "Fool Us", where the patent office has to guess what your patent is, before reviewing it. If the patent office is right, rejection; wrong, approval. We could televise it and subsidise the whole thing with advertising revenue. This is not a joke.

Maybe those same people shouldn’t have voted for politicians who gutted public education and unions and made it impossible to build housing near any desirable jobs.
> most Americans (64%) think young adults should reach [financial independence] by the time they are 22 years old... Census Bureau data finds that, in 2018, 24% of young adults were financially independent by age 22 or younger, compared with 32% in 1980

This divergence is symptomatic of a broken society. It's easier to divide a bigger pie. The pie was bigger in 1980 and now we are dividing up the crumbs, so it's harder to get enough.

Parents helping their children longer in life is really the only solution. It's basically like, those who achieved financial independence in 1980 did so by taking from future generations, their own children, and are now being chastised for giving some of it back.

It's nonsensical to admonish parents for helping their children overcome the burdens society has placed on future generations by having already taken too much from the planet.

Let's just look at the burdens:

College education costs are soaring
Housing costs are soaring
Healthcare costs are soaring
Jobs are diminishing
Salaries are flat

Of course parents have to help their children longer.
Do you have any idea how FAANG companies treat disabled people, people who need accessibility etc? Does that make a difference? I know they're not legally allowed to discriminate but... no one is, everyone does.

Nikon Small World contest picks the best photographs taken through a microscope
Two thoughts:

* fires are becoming an increasing problem and there isn't a sound, coordinated, public effort to deal with them right now; if the wealthy, who generally have a lot of political power, are shielded from the fire issue through their personal wealth, then there could be a diminished incentive to solve the problem generally for the public

* it's hard to fight fires and the wealthy could marshal firefighters that are needed for public usage and the public might not offer enough compensation/resources to protect the public
To be completely honest, it's actually an intriguing idea. I wonder, assuming some basic level of competency, if you gave a candidate some completely orthogonal task unrelated to the career and they excelled at it (assuming no cheating), would they be a better hire than another candidate?

Maybe! Quite often success at work is determined by getting crap done that doesn't require the skills you trained for initially.

Your practical knowledge obviously trumps my second hand one. The 72 hour figure came from a guy I knew that worked on the CL&P nukes in Pickering.

Taking 15% of income (I assume that's pre-tax) post-offer seems insane. Having gone through and passed FAANG interviews, I certainly wouldn't recommend paying that much.
Have you heard about the concept of "intrepreneur"?

An intrepreneur is a person who behaves like an entrepreneur whilst being employed. Intrepreneurs are usually encourages to develop their ideas into a workable product by the companies they work for. Like an entrepreneur, an intrepreneur is motivated, creative, and able to think outside of the box.

In most of the companies, if this venture is a success, it can spin off in a new company and the intrepreneur can get a good amount of equity.

Admittedly, we’re reaping what we’ve sown with regards to things like the automobile and suburban sprawl, but overall it used to be way easier to actually survive. Even the Great Depression saw the New Deal. What such hope do we have today? Who’s coming to save us?
None of that is the format, it sounds like your media player (or whatever js webshit reddit has implemented in their abominable redesign...) is just shit. "Mega-fast" internet would benefit you more for gifs than it would for real video formats, on account of those gifs being larger. Why do you think reddit wants to serve you video files instead of gifs? They're not doing it to fuck with you, I promise. They do it because it saves them bandwidth, and therefore it saves you bandwidth too. The solution to your problems is not using an obsolete inefficient image format for video; rather the solution to your problems is getting software that isn't totally broken.

Since your so skeptical, let's put some numbers to it: Here is a gif: https://0x0.st/zY8f.gif It's a staggering[0] 3.5MB, on a 56kbps connection it would take you over eight minutes to download it. I uploaded this gif to imgur, who then converted it into this mp4: https://0x0.st/zY8O.mp4 It's less than 700KB. On a 56kbps connection it would take you less than two minutes to download this. This is not an atypical example, an order of magnitude improvement is pretty typical when converting gif "videos" into real video formats.

Eight minutes vs two minutes... you tell me, which is faster? The faster your internet connection gets the narrower the gap gets, which is opposite of the trend you're suggesting. These conversions benefit people with slow internet more than they benefit those with fast internet.

You’re right, I should have said “typically”. My understanding is that the malted barley for Scotch is dried with smoke that often (but not always, as you point out) comes from peat, but it’s not dried in closed kilns as it is for Irish whiskey. So while you might have more or less peat, you still have more smoke than in Irish whiskey.

I sense fear. Is it not ok to tell the world that you're scared even if you have no solution to offer?

The fear is that a public service that should, within their capability, protect everyone without discrimination is over time going to be replaced by private services that only protect those who can pay.

I believe that is the point. Now we can contemplate whether that fear is justified, whether it should be dismissed, or if something should be done to resolve it.

Of course security and safety is already a privilege of the rich (to an extent), but you could go further in that direction. Or try to swing back.
Several of our students have done CodeBreakers whole working full-time jobs both married and unmarried. On average it took around 4-5 months based on about 10-15 hr/wk commitment.

Most Major Depression Is Probably Not a Brain Disorder
GWF is utterly useless, the only reason it is there is to provide the impression of support, not to actually give support. An actual support channel has a means of escalation, all the way to the top if that is what it takes to get a problem resolved. With GWF it's luck of the draw at best, and in most cases just a placebo.
If the specification is not enabling and novel to one skilled in the art (much less obvious), then it is not valid. Under rexam or court proceedings they will be worth the paper they're printed on. That's an expensive way to determine things, but it sounds like that particular section of art at the patent office isn't doing much. On the other hand they only have to hide one novel idea and unique claim in the list to have a right to enforce.

I do think the EFF's concern about claims and documentation already debunked/invalid being hidden behind seal is pretty serious and I think judges approving it are doing the public no service.

I wonder whether some of the attraction of slackfor community and q&a is the immediate feedback and the ephemeral nature of the questions. If I am looking for an answer, I want it asap. And maybe it is easier to ask or answer questions because both go away? At the least it means that the answers will avoid some of the SO issues (where the best answer is 10 years old and has been superseded).

I'm a little perplexed by the dismissiveness of your response (perhaps I'm misreading?).

I think a better description is using your phone number for 2 factor auth and account means if you steal someone's phone number (via simhacking usually) then you can do anything, because you can reset the account through the phone number, and then you can set the password, and now you control 2 factors (phone + password).
