I was told by the recruiter that the hiring committee had passed me, and I subsequently had a conversation with a team manager that seemed fine. Then heard I was nixed at the final executive review--something like that.

Was contacted after the usual six months by a new recruiter wanting me to apply again. Asked what happened last time, which he seemed to know nothing about. He investigated, and came back with the corporate-speak I interpreted as "too old" (though phrased in a way that would probably avoid legal issues).

The "no head count" explanation doesn't make much sense to me. And in any case, given the effort required to go through the process, it'd be kind of a dick move to be interviewing candidates when there were no openings.

Their recruiters continue to contact me about every six months.

Upon conclusion of this experiment, what makes you think that you're not a Boltzmann brain that was momentarily brought into existence with a particular memory of doing that particular thing 5 minutes ago?

The Boltzmann brain hypothesis postulates that your perception of the past may just a randomly arranged hallucination - just a random set of memories that happened to be encoded in your brain's neurons during it fleeting moment of consciousness.

I don't believe that there is any experiment that can disprove this particular flavour of solipsism - as you cannot reliably trust any memory or sensory input.
Boltzmann brain has a solipsistic element. It's not just that "you" are a Boltzmann brain, it's that the entire universe you're experiencing is just a figment of your imagination. Furthermore, you don't know how long this experience has been going on since all your memories might be entirely fake (ie maybe you came into existence a mere moment ago and will cease to exist in the next instance; you only have fakeable memories of the past, an unreliable perception of the present, and no knowledge of the future).
Right, dissecting why that answer would be worthless is part of the fun of the thought experiment. It seems like it should be ... spectacularly interesting to somehow discover that your entire memory is a lie and the world you're in is radically different than you thought, but the fact you can't do anything with that knowledge completely neuters it. It implies that in the calculation my mind does about how much I care about a possibility, there's something like a term for "how much control (or even a vague casual connection) do I have over the world?" that everything or nearly everything else is multiplied by. Even if a deity told me I was a Boltzmann brain, I would still hang on to the minuscule chance or delusion that I was a human and still process decisions that way, because in some sense I fundamentally can't care about a situation where there's zero utility to be gained besides as a curiosity. It feels like this might be a useful intuition pump to think about concepts like motivation and learned helplessness. The fun in a thought experiment is how it gives you a new lens to view other concepts with.

> Without addressing the thing about the NIST P-curves being backdoored, which is an extremely dubious proposition

I don't believe it exactly either, I just know it as a zeitgeist reason why some of the dialog about curve changes has been happening. In hindsight I supposed I'd have been better off not mentioning it.

> Standards should immediately deprecate support for explicit curve parameters.

I agree and that wasn't the intent of my post, if it came across that way. While elsewhere in the thread it is mentioned that many named curves are implemented standalone, my understanding is that not all of them are.

I was only suggesting that crypto32.dll is intended to be low level enough that it is possible that some of the higher-level APIs that Microsoft has built that do focus on named curves only (such as the UWP/WinRT and .NET APIs I mentioned) may rely on the explicit parameter support in the lower level library. I don't envy Microsoft the task of balancing what is in a low-level API like that versus backwards compatibility, "upwards" compatibility with high level components, etc.
California has largely become a single party state. I'm not trying to start an argument between Democrats and Republicans here, but we can clearly see a pattern everywhere in the world. Once single party rule is institutionalized the politicians are no longer accountable to voter interests.

Let's say someone wants to release some open source software to the world. But they also want to retain the right to remove their currently published copy at any point, their right to reject patches and generally do what they like without being slurred and berated by everyone else.

Aside from adding a plaintext file alongside the code that explicitly says (sometimes in capital letters!) that the code is supplied with no warranty or obligation, explicitly or implied, what should they do?

Isn't it clearly the case that the license explicitly states the social contract?

>Or it's a systematic sexism that has deep roots in human biology and thousands of generations of sexually dimorphic specialization

Are you saying women are naturally more nurturing than men? And more inclined towards childcare?

Because I vehemently disagree.

>I'm relieved to see a take that questions the tired, pervasive assumption that STEM is simply not welcoming to women because old white men are sexist.

It can definitely be a factor. And even a more important factor is the fact that women can feel unwelcome in tech. At Oxford only 10% of the undergraduates accepted to study computer science were women. Now imagine being a woman in that class. You might feel like you don't belong, although you might be friends with your predominantly male classmates. Some of them will make jokes at the expense of your gender, others will hit on you, and the list goes on. Obviously not all of them will treat you differently, but some of them will, and that's enough to feel unwelcomed. And thus, you might be more inclined to leave tech for a field with more women, like biology.
Agreed but one of the major reasons why residents are opposed to building/zoning residential IS a natural result of Prop 13. It's impressive how much of the past/current problems California is facing can be traced back to Prop 13.
Seems like there was plenty of actual terrible to go around, and the language barrier made quite a few instances of not terrible seem terrible.
The storefronts are only there because of significant state tax credits for including them.

Like all things real estate, there’s some other tax angle where the owners make more money demanding commercial rents above what the market can afford than actually renting it. They probably securitize the losses somehow.
Edit: I misunderstood.
You're on the right track. A lot of this tech is a potential goldmine and I'm sure there are many players developing in secret and not publishing yet (or ever).
The pagination does not seems to be work properly
I don't agree it is sexism. It is the simple fact that our species is sexually dimorphic. This guarantees that there will be asymmetry between the genders regardless of the social engineering that is attempted.

There is about 4 billion years of evolution and the thinking that it can be socially engineered away is a folly.

> Sexism also harms men.

Yes it does. But this is not one of those circumstances. However that is a completely different conversation.
Forcing homeless services into an area and the subsequent homeless people entering your neighborhood is the politically correct 21st century version of blockbusting[1].

Maybe they're just not as into it?

Does anyone ever stop to consider that? Maybe women are doing what's best for themselves, sticking to things they like, and screw your arrogant western leftist ideas of what YOU think they should do?

Let's just pretend women like shoes and handbags more and men like engines and guns more just for purely random reasons. Despite global perpetuity. Everywhere ever.

Let's just pretend engineers and nurses is inflicted, not chosen, despite what ultra high gender equality Scandinavia says.

The fundamental differentiator between early and late stage in those graphs is that there are far fewer positions as time moves on, in the 'higher' cohorts.

It's not people just graduate along the path from A to Z - it's viciously competitive.

Issues of maternity et. al. I think are just one important artefact of the nature of competition which for whatever reason I think is still going to favour men. Risk taking, hubris, aggression, physical endurance, combativeness, a certain kind if confidence, social expectations, possibly even the acceptance of those things by others - these things mean a lot at those later stages.
Senior citizens in the other 49 states are doing just fine.

There are problems with increasing property taxes on elderly folks on fixed incomes, the solution isn't to say "you never own any tax on the appreciated value" the solution is to say "you can pay the tax on the appreciated value when you sell your home" which is an insane liberal tax and spend policy practiced in the hippie haven of the... state of Texas.

Additionally, the lions gain of the benefits of prop 13 don't accumulate to the working class elderly living in appreciated homes, it goes to giant corporations like Walt Disney (yes, Disney Land is protected by prop 13), golf courses, extremely wealthy property investors, and the heirs of people who have owned nice homes and then died who then bequeath both their house AND their insane tax rate on to their children.
haha, about time!

Prop 13 has effectively created a vicious cycle of escalating property values.

Sure, but without any numbers, this is simply a just-so story. House prices in Seattle metro have shot through the roof in past 5-6 years, despite Seattle not having Prop 13 law. If house prices can demonstrably go up a lot in a place with no Prop 13-like law, but otherwise rather similar to California when it comes to attitudes towards what kind of houses are allowed to be built, it stands to reason that Prop 13 is unlikely to be main factor in dire California's housing situation.
It's not more reasonable when you consider the property taxes. A $350,000 house looks great until you factor in $10,000 annual property taxes.
Have I done it myself, no but about 20 years ago a house mate had done some LSD and came home to him in such a state that did exactly that to prove to himself that he was real and that bit of paper acted as a comfort blanket for the rest of the trip he was on. Crazy times, but happened.

Myself I have not done that, not at least in that way, but every signature on every aged document thru times arrow does support that.

But as a thought experiment, it's good, but resolves around a snapshot instance of time as decay precludes any more. So why do things we remember and `know` work forward and never in reverse. Time always moves forward and how you would resolve the Boltzmann brain with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_of_time makes for an even larger thought experement.

Hence a Botzmann Universe expands beyond a brain and into a collective of brains and matter. With us a small substruct of that whole, the decay would be slower and the posibility of time at that lower scale becomes plausable. The Boltzmann brain has decay as a factor of time and as the whole of the brain is needed for conciousnous in this, then any decay would appear instant. Though not all the brain would decay at once, bits would live longer but as not the whole it has ceased to exist.
So by expanding that Brain to the scale of a Universe, us human brains would be relative to the scale of the whole. Hence any instant decay of the Universe as a whole would still have pockets which would and could contain whole galaxies. So for the human brain the time until decay reaches them would and could be a measurable amount of time.

Now that as a thought is one that ticks more boxes for me and opens up a larger scale of thought that maybe black holes are that decay in action.
Agree, me too. It's one of the most fascinating problems in the world, and I'll be delighted when "they" decide it's dead and the spotlight moves on.
If I’m honest, as a young professional from Florida I always envied those able to uproot and move to the west coast. My whole family (both mine and my wife’s) is here on the east coast, and I spent a lot of years somewhat resentful of the missed opportunities.

Today, at the age of 35, my position has completely reversed. If anything, with the advent of the remote workplace, I’d rather be in a low cost area such as the one I live in, and the “opportunities” I’m missing out on these days just don’t seem so attractive anymore.
> Idk why this keeps getting tied back to paid/unpaid

i was responding to a comment about engineering ethics. engineering is a profession. engineering ethics is taught to student engineers in the context of a job, where you're getting paid. taking the (literal classroom) lessons out of context distorts them.

if you go back to your engineering ethics professors and say "gee, but what if i do this work for fun and just stick it up on a web page on the internet", they're going to look at you like you're insane, and then not know what to say.

That's not really an apples-to-apples comparison.

From what I can tell, actix was using unsafe code to improve benchmark performance, not because safe code was extra work. That's fine, but it was misleadingly marketed as more than a toy project, and it shouldn't have been.

Further, rewriting a project is very different from just making different coding decisions when maintaining an existing project.

I still think the actix critics are showing how irresponsible they are for blindly using a library without researching it well.

Current patriarchal, near-totalitarian societies have huge percentages of women going into STEM because for an ambitious, smart, strong woman in that environment it's one of the few paths to independence and status obtained through a well paying STEM job.

Countries that are more egalitarian and have more social mobility have STEM percentages that are decreasing as the same society becomes more egalitarian over time because the women have other options, and they choose to take them.
Agreed but one of the major reasons why residents are opposed to building/zoning residential IS a natural result of Prop 13.
