> I have references, but most of them are barred behind NDAs

You don't need to worry about this. Reference checks usually don't involve many detailed technical issues that would fall under an NDA.

> I feel like I've picked the wrong career or that something is wrong with me

I don't think that's the case.

First off, and you might not recognize this yet, but hiring is really slow during the holidays. Any time between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day is basically completely dead. September and October are also particularly slow, as this is the start of school for families, which can be a tricky time to get someone to relo. Decision makers aren't in, people are on vacation, year end stuff abounds. People are fairly checked out, and it can be hard to get an interview panel together.

It will pick up in January with the new year. Hit the "Who's hiring" thread on HN and apply to a lot of places in short order.

As a (somewhat) successful employee with 15 years of experience, each place I've worked has had a story behind it, and they aren't at all alike. I've also bombed a fair amount of interviews that probably would have changed my life, like TwitchTV. It happens. It's a numbers game. You don't know if someone else better has applied. Or that the person has picked a topic that you know about or not. It just sucks particularly hard to feel that lack of control.

You sound like you're doing the right things. My leetcode is also terrible, and somehow for interviewing anyone it's all about leetcode BS these days. So if you can pull that off, I think you've got it. After all, you did it once. You can do it again.

To counter the feeling of a lack of control, I think you really need to take advantage of what you do have - time. And programming is cheap, and you can stay at home! Maybe work on those side projects. Brush up on leetcode, or learn some new skills that are marketable, hot, and maybe you're interested in. Even just doing a few tutorials can make you sound like a badass these days. Make the time productive, so you don't feel like you're doing nothing or feel helpless. Sometimes those actions can lead to new developments.

Do you think you did well in the interviews? What do you think went wrong? Nothing is a perfectly valid answer here. Managers don't have any more idea what they want than customers, so job descriptions might not line up with what they interview for. There might be some other applicant. If there is a point of weakness, work on that!

Good luck. You can do it.
It could be useful as a tool to help a radiologist do their job better though. I think many of these techniques described in ML papers will be used to enable people to be better at their jobs rather than replace them. At least until there is AGI at least.
In what way is it unethical? No harm is done to anyone.

Facebook decided how things work and create this system with side effects. Finding a way around the rules facebook made does not make it unethical.
> I'm fairly confident that all three matter more than connections. At least in the tech industry.

Define "tech industry". If you're talking about Post 2000-era founded Silicon Valley companies, then ... maybe. Otherwise, the vast majority of the Informational Technology industry is still dominated by enterprises whose ossified leadership is similar to every other in corporate America.

The specific slice of Silicon Valley companies I mentioned earlier seem to be doing better, they're on the right path. But if you're saying that connections don't matter in the tech industry, I've got a bridge to sell you.
Or you work with a lot of different languages and you can only keep so many bits of syntax particulars in your head.

From what I've read, it's actually not physically a fuse.

But in any case, it ought to be fixable by an authorized service technician.

Indeed, it's arguably a right to repair issue.
Speculating in the failure cause here...

I would guess the Tesla constantly checks the isolation between the high voltage system and the car chassis. If it is ever compromised, it blows single-use pyrotechnic fuses as a safety measure (to protect a person who may have their hands in the high voltage system).

That event then makes the car useless till serviced.

Since it is a kind of 'catch all' event, it happens quite frequently, so it was worth Tesla building an error message into the app for it.

Given how simple and relatively cheap that is I would be very suprised if they don't. This is a kind of operation that a few people with their private budgets could pull off (I mean just scraping the contents and storing a single copy , not the analysis part) so don't expect powerful and not-so-powerful organizations or goverments restraining themselves from doing so. This is neither expensive nor difficult while being extremely valuable
On a bad connection, I'd pick a react SPA with a slow upstart over a classic server-side rendered one any day all things being equal.

With the react app there's a chance I'll have the js already cached and I'm only fetching the data. With the SSR I'll probably be fetching data and view continuously.

And yet, a lot of young, very idealistic folks will be totally enamored by it and genuinely believe it... makes me sick.

In the absence of anyone to guide them, I am afraid the young will have no way to filter the signal from the noise, to comprehend how the real world works and not get distracted by this sort of nonsense.
I honestly think it's done to look more "whimsical" and "accessible" and to dodge any sort of accusation of discrimination or exclusion. Which isn't a bad thing at all. Just the art style is so weird and blobby.

Love your story. And I think room for mistakes or for people to be people, is crucial to creating relationships. This lacks in modern apps, where the tiniest physical flaw makes us swipe away, and a beautified instagram like profile gets all the attention.

If apps can teach us quantum mechanics, I think an app can at least attempt to teach us relationships.
You got me curious: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/unharmful
Since you asked: With the fact in mind that you're deliberately trying to misunderstand what I'm saying, I'd repeat my question that you didn't answer:

What do you find so "incredibly easy to understand" about private digital assets that people who "lack critical thinking skills" don't get, and why are you more trustworthy than they are?

Isn't it a bit ironic that you want us to trust your claim that we should trust Europol about a "trustless" system?

"There are trustless systems though, like bitcoin" -buboard; "there is a system [Bitcoin -- bzzt -- oops! -- Monero then] that minimizes trust" -buboard; "I trust that [the Europol investigation and presentation about Monero]" -rolltiide.

So why should we trust you and buboard, then? Care to link to your resume or PhD dissertation or any code or research papers you've written on the topic, since it's so "incredibly easy" for you to understand? Or should we just trust you without any evidence to tell us who to trust about a trustless?

There doesn't seem to be a good way to remedy that, except for the elites and non-elites to find ways to hang out somehow.

What's a good data type for text with hyperlinks?
Yes, this was precisely the issue. We couldnt see the noise at our expected frequency of, say 1 MHz, but we could when scaled to say 50 MHz. Been nearly 2 decades now, so precise numbers elude me.
No. Because we can always shut the smarter-than-human AI down.
Is your apartment's management ok with mounting a camera on the outside of the building? Also, why restrict yourself to the view on the other side of the wall? With a screen you can show any view you want, like a white sandy beach or an active volcano. I had an idea 20 years ago for a restaurant with artificial views. Much cheaper than paying for real estate in a location with views, I would get a cheaper location and line the walls floor to ceiling with high definition screens and show any view I want
The U.S. gives support to lots of people, including India. I wouldn't think that'd be that big a deal. Plus, the US aid to Pakistan is pretty unwilling and not because we support them over India but because we need them to not give terrorists shelter (more than they already do I guess)

"The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) compiled and published a data in 2015 indicating that from the period 1946-2012, India has been the recipient of highest aid from United States. The amount of economic aid, adjusted to inflation then, was reported to be USD 65.1 billion"

My impression is that RSI differs from person to person, which means the solution differs from person to person depending on what is strained. For some, a new keyboard layout fixes the problem. For others, simply changing to a less strenuous editor like Vim helps.
This is a very good article but it misses a few things.

-One of the techniques these days is to borrow an already existing identity for a period of time. If person A has lived a normal life, their story exists but if they haven't gone through biometrics in country B before then it's easier to get person C in (but obviously it's still harder than before). The identify is then returned

-People with potential for dual nationality have gone up in importance. Especially if they are legally allowed also to change their name.

-Equipment and database owners are key. Watch how popular 3M systems are in the world for example
It would be interesting to see if the NSA/CIA whomever would hack into external DBs of data and insert fake people into them, so when they check against polled api data, everything checks out. Cyber is an offensive world, after all. I wonder if, thinking in a post truth manner, ambiguous or grey is enough for the intel world.
Driving often is adversarial, and no AI can actually drive yet (outside of some very limited circumstances on a small number of roads).

I know what you mean about the distracting animations! I tried to set it up so that the animations would pause if they weren't in focus. Having an option to manually trigger the animations would be a good next step.

Good to know the ballpark figure for the current generation of hardware.
But this depends on the person driving. If the person who is worried about this is a much better driver and would be less likely to get in a fatal accident than average then why wouldn't this be a valid concern?
I wouldn't dispute this (if they finally put something together that isn't horrendously cumbersome, time-consuming and hard to use) but this doesn't justify the 'AI is about to replace radiology' crap I seam to see every time some academic group publishes an AI/ML paper.

Realistically, if you've been stopped by Russian border police and complied with their requests you've done everything right. Russia then has three options:

A: detain you and spur an international incident with complaints to the U.N. re human rights abuses and everything else.

B: refuse entry.

C: delay you long enough to get a follow team deployed so they can see what you do without inciting a lot of bad press, or delaying your travels more.
I just need to say this, global warming is the symptom. The reason public figures focus on a consequence is that we have a popularity contest society. The real problem is our every day use of energy: heat, water and food!

The technologies he describes are completely over-engineered. We need to transition to "compiling capable keyboard and mouse" ARM asap. for all our productive tools (desktop) and stop consuming (wasting time at 200 watt; PS4, XBox, PC).

Also devices should be repairable and without bad licenses.

In this context only C(+) and Java are usable programming languages.

Every time I see this kind of comparison I'm reminded of how little effort Tesla seems to make relative to other manufacturers to make their cars price-competitive in non-US markets.

Look at it this way. Your abilities/worth/knowledge/whatever are multidimensional and can be mapped on a "Radar Chart"(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_chart). They can also be classified as "Inherent" or "Incidental/Accidental". Thus there can be no single "smartness" index defining a person.

Thus for example, i am "un-smart" on both Web Dev and Statistics/Probability axes. The former is Incidental and easily fixed in a couple of months of work but the later is Inherent and needs a lot more time for assimilation. Thus the same word "un-smart" actually conveys two different meanings in the two different axes and one should not conflate the two.
The Crazy Story of How Soviet Russia Bugged an American Embassy’s Typewriters
Except that it’s not 0.00000000x but more like 2 (really bad accidents so far)/450 (total nuclear power plants in the world).... and probably closer to 1 if you include nuclear waste that we have no idea what to do with.

Not saying coal is better, but fission is kind of real iffy too.
I think this is a great move, I'm currently visiting my folks in Nevada and my mother works for the State often dealing with Mentally Ill people who also often become homeless. She was driving me around town showing me what was new after the few years I've been gone and she took me to the main shelter for homeless people. I'm used to seeing homeless on the street after living in SF but it was a good reminder of how many people have to live - and not just junkies or the usual stereotypes but lots of people who run into hard times, lose their homes and have to live in their car and then lose that and so many other ways people end up on the streets in America. I think a homeless shelter in the campus of Amazon's HQ will probably serve as a grounding experience like mine for others too and hopefully spur a little additional compassion and understanding
The elites who could possibly give me a chance as CEO or VP don’t talk to me enough to even know whether I’m qualified and/or if I exist.

Nonsense. You haven’t experienced a slow connection recently, or you’re just loading the same sites over and over again.

I love the JS experts on HN, telling everyone it’s impossible to do all of the stuff we were doing on a daily basis in 2012, without the magic of megabytes of client-side code.
I read it again, it clearly doesn't. ;)

As it turns out, we have multiple contradictory findings about whether high IQ is positively or negatively correlated with mental illness.

But even if you believe there's a negative correlation, it doesn't mean that many predictive SNPs can't predict both.

E.g. cloud cover is predictive both for rainfall and heavy snow. However, heavy snow is negatively correlated with rainfall. The latter doesn't negate the former.
No it isn't a valid concern. For an equivalent distance, commercial flights are still safer than even the safest drivers. At 30000 feet you don't have to worry about some other drunk driver running a red light.
> When I finally got hold of someone I was told that in order to prevent this, I should prewarm the car using the app prior to using the car.

They gave you a bullshit answer - the car would have had to start to pre-warm too.

The advice I would give is not to park with a low battery in cold weather, since it will lose range.

That said, the car should warn you:

Battery Low

There will be significantly less energy available
from your battery if it gets colder.

We recommend charging now.

Of course, regular cars have cold weather problems too. Never park a gas car in freezing weather with an almost empty tank (since there is some water in the tank, and it might freeze the fuel pump or lines).
Management consulting is better than climbing internally. It's why jobs with top management consulting firms are so hard to get.
Doesn't facial recognition counteract all of these techniques though? (Plus DNA sampling, if foreign intel gets close enough to grab a sample). There's only one 'true' face or DNA for each person, no matter how complex a background their handlers spun online. I feel like facial recognition was one of the main points of the article
"It's not one entity that's going to solve this," [Hartman] said. "It's not on corporations. It's not on congregations. It's not on government. It's not on foundations. It's all of us working together."

While the system (created by governments and corporations) rewards providing housing priced at however much people will pay we won't see much affordable housing. Real estate laws do not reward and have not ever rewarded "working together". If Seattle funneled the money going towards anti-homeless structures to building municipal housing instead this "homeless crisis" would be resolved quickly. It wouldn't fix everything and it'd be just as hard for someone who's both unemployed and homeless to get back on their feet but it would make it easier for them to stay on their feet.
I heared this would be shelters for homeless amazon workers. But this sounded a bit wild and dystopian for me.
What you're mentioning is actually a very recent change to Facebook API. So it doesn't relate to the work done in the presentation.
I wouldn’t disagree. My point is more that a grey market going legal isn’t the same as a black market going legal like is happening in the States. Also doesn’t sound like the retail convenience is materializing for most.
> 'it's not on corporations' to solve the homelessness problem

Sure, but corporations (and those who lead them) also lobby local, state and federal governments for policies that benefit them. They pay for campaigns of those who would help them out, and sway local and national politics. Sometimes to no harm, sometimes to immense societal detriment. This last election in Seattle, Amazon funneled $1.5 million to a political action committee that backed candidates seen as business friendly. This ended up backfiring, but it's plainly obvious that entrenched business interests are there and do manipulate their environment.

Is it that crazy to posit that local property companies are attempting to manipulate their regulatory environment in their favor?

Seems just as irresponsible to label them as blameless as it is to declare that they are entirely the problem.
It's Important to Learn the Fundamentals
>We know we need at least like 80 bits to start to be safe against brute force.

you could imagine a cipher with a computational/memory[0] intensity so high that the brute force attack could be practically infeasible even at lower key-sizes. I am not advocating using smaller keys, just pointing out that there is more to brute-force resistance that simply just the key-length number. (That is probably the numerology the GP was referring to)

[0]Since memory intensity instead of pure computational intensity seems to be employed by some hashing alghorithms I wonder is that would be possible block ciphers as well. The way I understand this, it makes ASIC/FPGA brute-forcing a lot harder/expensive
Ok, but since I’m not American and don’t care if US is Number 1 and I really don’t like it when yankee spooks kidnap people in my country a supposedly close US ally...

This is well-put although reliance on the word 'elite' may rub the wrong way.

My experience of large corporations is that senior execs spot and groom a few early-career candidates to go through a well-laid path. They are placed in various sides of the business for 12-18 month stints, declare successes, and then compete down the line at the subsidiary Director/VP level for equivalent corporate spots. From there they will compete against one another and executive search for the Corporate Policymaker slots and these then are in consideration for the CEO slot. The culled along the way usually leave the firm.

There are formal mentorship programs of varying quality that will be advertised to recruits and new hires but these are for people destined to top out at the high end of middle manager.

I think it is also true that execs like anyone else in the hiring chain select those that resemble themselves.

Addendum: Just read the Gervais Principle referenced elsewhere. Wow. Killin' me softly with its song! (Not so softly, actually.)
