> not everyone has a wide ranging context on security and privacy

Hey, it sounds like you just came up with an excellent screening question for interviewing potential software developers for any project with security and/or privacy requirements.

"Do you think electronic voting is a good idea?" A "yes" answer would suggest strongly that the candidate does not have a deep understanding of software security and privacy issues.
The dynamic in the spaces that I worked was that all of the devs want to be respectful of the other devs. Part of what that means is that you want to avoid making noise. The result is that speaking is kept to the bare minimum.
Please can you describe any steps you took too achieve this? I’ve found the battery life on my new dell xps 13 running Ubuntu to be disappointing.
You should produce it in “I feel” phrases. That makes it known that it’s your opinion and could be wrong. Treat it like couples therapy.
Could it be your physical fitness? When I was physically unfit I always dreaded the work of building up speed on the bike.
> Why is everyone shitting on other people's vibe?

Because people provide horrible advice like this that prevents people from getting the help they need. Stigma is a real thing.
The IETF proposal you linked is not for a backdoor. It's IETF refusing to set rules on future IETF standards including, or not including wiretapping.

i.e. It states that whether a standard includes a wiretap or not is irrelevant to it being an IETF standard.
You can do wrong - I do not reinterview with startups that do not give feedback at the end of the interview process. So, if you're a startup that's struggling to hire - good luck getting that candidate to come back in 6 months to a year when you're struggling. (Plenty of companies flip-flop on hire/no-hire as time goes on)
Interesting that your NHS fees are at £7k for the year. That's about the amount I pay for my family's annual insurance premiums + deductible.

I'm no fan of insurance/hospital bureaucracy, but at least I can go to any specialist doctor I want without having to see a GP first. And I pick the job and insurance provider I want to reduce the amount my family pays each year.

Emergency situations like the last one you mentioned, if they are out of network, are still covered at in network rates, thanks to my insurance plan specifically stating that in their plan documentation. I feel bad for your sister-in-law and am glad she survived, but she did have a not so great insurance plan. I would strongly consider getting a different job or lobbying hard with my workplace HR if I had a plan that would only pay 10% in true emergency situations.
They'll have openings again in the future, and maybe at that time their desires and your skills will be a better match.

Especially when interviewing for non-intro-level stuff...
I'm both a driver and a cyclist and I've seen orders of magnitude more cyclists running red lights than cars.
If you keep trying new things and you're great at all of them, maybe you're just really hot shit and I'm not sure the ego is considered "inflated" or that you're overconfident. Maybe it's just appropriate confidence given your awesomeness.

Those who have overinflated egos and overvalue their egos don't try things they might fail at. Or, I guess, maybe some folks try things, suck at them, and make excuses/write off their failures as someone else's fault.
And don’t forget the volume check.

BUM BUUUMMMMM!

Goddamnit, I just woke up every mammal in the house.

> Remote work is still challenging though. The nature of not being able to get person-to-person time (regardless of how good video calls get) will always remain a challenge in its own right.

Even as a remote worker, I used to think this was true.

I no longer believe this is the case.

In remote video calls each human is like an augmented cyborg integrated with their computer and the internet.

The nature of IRL meetings tend to disrupt the augmentation aspect. Above a certain number of people perhaps augmentation becomes more obstacle then advantage though.

The above is anecdotal and your experience may differ.
""While this anomaly was corrected in flight, if it had gone uncorrected it would have led to erroneous thruster firing and uncontrolled motion during SM separation for deorbit, with the potential for catastrophic spacecraft failure," Hill said during the meeting."

I guess some things just never get old, citing from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_5 :

"The flight was also memorable for its dramatic re-entry. The craft's service module did not separate, so it entered the atmosphere nose-first, leaving cosmonaut Boris Volynov hanging by his restraining straps. As the craft aerobraked, the atmosphere burned through the module. But the craft righted itself before the escape hatch was burned through."

This actually happened three times so far with the Soyuz (in all cases without the loss of crew):

"An incomplete separation between the Service and Reentry Modules led to emergency situations during Soyuz 5, Soyuz TMA-10 and Soyuz TMA-11, which led to an incorrect reentry orientation (crew ingress hatch first)."

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_(spacecraft)#Service_mod...)

One would kinda expect that past crewed vehicle emergencies would be studied in detail when designing a new one & that the developers would make extra sure they can't reasonably happen with their design.
As an anecdote, the major consulting firms (McKinsey, BCG, Bain), all provide constructive interview feedback after interviews. They do this regardless of if the candidate is moving on to the next level of not.

It's strange that other industries haven't followed suit.
You need blank lines for the pseudo-bullets to not combine together like this.

> I can't wait to study up

Surely if a rejection was for a reason that a couple weeks of study could "fix," it wasn't worth a rejection, right? Are hirers out there really being THAT picky?

I'm going through resumes right now and rejecting people if I think they need a year or more experience under their belt than what they're presenting. If it's because they know react and not vue, that's not reject worthy at all...

One company in particular, gave me fairly useful feedback. For a design question, I was going all over the place not taking hints from the interviewer. I did not realize that I was trying to cram everything into one hour. Anyways, I will consider them in the future. Usually other companies do not bother.
Introduction of electronic voting in the US was primarily motivated by the Help America Vote Act of 2002 which required that election authorities more effectively accommodate the needs of voters with sensory and mobility needs. Previously used election methods were generally inoperable by individuals with such disabilities unless they had a second person enter their votes for them, which is considered a compromise of the right to a secret ballot. Electronic voting systems offer extensive accessibility modes designed for voters who are vision impaired and/or have limited mobility, such as reading the ballot aloud and supporting a sip/puff or two-paddle input device. As I discuss in more length in another comment it is quite possible to meet these needs using a paper ballot system (by use of a ballot marking machine or BMM which may be integrated into the tabulator), but direct recording electronic (DRE) systems are less expensive to operate and in some cases purchase. So, unfortunately, many election authorities, forced by HAVA to replace their equipment on an extremely limited budget, opted for the cheapest option. These election authorities now cannot afford a complete replacement of their voting systems and so may be "locked in" to a DRE system by their vendor.

To improve US elections administration, it is imperative to address the severe funding limitations faced by most election authorities that may leave them little or no choice over the methods they use.
Who on earth would scan a QR code labeled a virus with no other info, when that is a thing that actually happens? It sounds like its going to continue buying shirts on your credit card

Its fairly obvious that this is probably some joke or prank, but why would I risk that, or invite others to? Is this something you do to your friends or enemies? A minimum there should be a collapsed-spoiler
It is about degrees. I used to be miserable trying to "behave" and realized that I was in the wrong environment. I was not a fit for that company or that culture. Working in tech has made it that I don't need to behave since most of my natural tendencies are acceptable there. How bad would it be if someone said that you have to become something I am not.

I agree that my comments could be harmful if it was the only one, but there needs to be balance in advice.

I assume this person is "successful", may be that's the faulty assumption.
When I interviewed at a FAANG company, I had multiple candidates do this to me after it was clear that their performance wasn't great. One person even asked me if they could interview with another team. This usually happened after it was clear that the candidate didn't perform very well. It was extremely frustrating for the reasons you mentioned. These were candidates that should have gone through multiple hiring cycles and known what the process is like, that I'm only doing the coding interview and recruiters and potentially hiring managers have final say based on my feedback.
The recaps often contain spoilers. When you’re binging, the story line is too recent and it’s a lot easier to read into the scene selection.

If they do a clip of someone we thought died six episodes ago, guess what, they aren’t dead.
Could one use -mtune to optimize to newer hardware, but make sure it runs for older hardware?
The entire premise of the OP is that candidates are “rarely told why they got the outcome that they did”. The author claims to have a survey supporting this, but they didn’t publish any of those details. I did a bit of googling and found this[0] article citing a report that claims:

* 69.7% of rejected candidates receive no feedback

* Of those that did, 77.3% said the feedback wasn’t useful

That leaves 6.8% of rejected candidates receiving useful feedback, which sounds quite plausible to me. In reality “risk of getting sued” is over simplified. If you want to give feedback to candidates, you can choose between two options. Just do it (and risk getting sued), or have your feedback legally vetted. The number of people receiving useful feedback is so small that it’s entirely plausible that those cases mostly represent the employers who choose to accept such an expense when rejecting candidates. The author makes no attempt to explain why they think such risk aversive behaviour is not the cause of the lack of lawsuits, instead jumping to the conclusion that the aversion is unnecessary.

The other half of the headline claim (regardless of any debate about its technical accuracy) is spurious at best. Any plaintiff would know that the threat of filing a discrimination case is leverage in a settlement negotiation. Without knowing how many settlements of that nature take place, it’s not possible to draw such a conclusion.

Finally, the authors methodology is questionable. A survey (especially one that doesn’t report its sample, or methodology) is not sufficient to draw the conclusion “never”. Putting aside the matter of out of court settlements, you’d need to perform a rather extensive study of case law to draw such a conclusion. Certainly something more than “had a quick look, didn’t find anything”.

How to get hired for a remote job
Netflix’s recommended content has become so terrible outside things I want like Better Call Saul or Mindhunter, that I’ve cancelled the sub. Most of what they push to the top is straight garbage. Really badly written stuff.

Meanwhile I can pay the same for amazon and get more Picard, Mr Robot, The Expanse... and if the TV sucks there are plenty of movies on rotation.
As someone who works for the company mentioned, we already have offers for emerging markets such as this in an innovations team. The unfortunate reality is that manufacturers don't want to go through the time and cost of regulatory certification unless demanded by some agency in power. The innovations team consistently underperforms compared to our EMC and Wireless/RF teams, which performs certification required by government agencies such as the FCC.
I'm finishing up my rust project convenient-skiplist [0] so I can finally achieve sorted set time-complexity parity between redis-oxide [1] and actual redis [2].

It's been quite challenging to get indexing working in a coherent and performant way. My sorted set implementation is "pure" in the sense you can only travel right and down, so you have to dance carefully to make the arithmetic work.

And the fact it's in rust adds the additional headaches of borrow checker / etc. Very fun though.

Before I write out my tips, I'd like to say this: there is a big difference between being 'narcissitic' the way you have described it, and having Narcissitic Personality Disorder. There is a lot of confusion on that subject.

Having said that, there are a lot of things someone can do, and no single one of them will be a panacea. There are three things I would suggest, and third one, while very effective, is probably too "out there" for people. I will offer it here and let you decide.

The first is the practice of mindfulness meditation. That you are aware enough of your pattern is a great start. Although the point of mindfulness meditation is to awaken to one's true nature of being, there are fringe benefits when it comes to realizing how sensations and feelings arise within us. It is this fringe benefit that lets us be aware and make changes to our core being. Without mindfulness meditation, it is difficult to make any lasting changes to ourselves.

The second, is that you might want to consider seeking a therapist who can work with you on this. There are many modalities. Not every one will work. But issues such as taking things too personally actually has a lot to do with being insecure and overcompensating for that. This can be combined with the mindfulness practice. I understand that there is a perceived stigma to going to therapy ... it might help to view this as going to a coach, who can help you be the best you while having healthy, functioning relationships with others.

The third, and most "out there" is something that really requires the first two suggestion. This having an acupuncturist needle some specific points. But it can't just be any acupuncturist. Not all acupuncturists are sensitive to subtle energy, and for this to work, you'll need to find one who is. Not only that, someone with the knowledge to work on what are called the "extraordinary meridians". Working with those are not covered under the accredited acupuncture schooling needed to receive a license to practice acupuncture. It most definitely falls outside of evidence-based medicine.

But if you do manage to find such a person, they can work on these meridians, some of which are directly regulating one's self-esteem, being overly critical of other people, being able to take feedback, listening to others, etc. The pair that is most directly related to that are what are called the "yin qiao" and "yang qiao" meridians.

The thing is, to get the most out of it, you may need therapeutic help as well. Successfully triggering this will shift things, bring up memories, change how you feel. You might not feel like yourself.

Thing is, when I used this method for myself, it was the thing that finally improved the relationship I have with my wife.
Yes, agree on the anxiety. My girlfriend makes fun of me because I'll be browsing and while talking to her I habitually move the focus left-right-left-right just to prevent the annoying video from playing. She hates it too. Does anyone like this feature?
You can find plenty of competent people to fill a position that you have no room to hire. Its also possible to give an accidentally weak interview.

Treating people like disposable garbage because they didn't check the checkboxes the best is a great way to be a shitty manager and a shitty human being.

I don't understand the emphasis on immigrants in studies that's followed in the wake of President Trump. It almost always plays with the definition of an immigrant for signaling reasons when it's obvious that the biggest policy target has been a particular subset of immigrants. Discussing the superset just looks like dishonesty to people who follow both sides.
They operate in so many markets though, many competitors in many markets. For example in Australia Ola is generally cheaper (especially so when there is Uber surge pricing). It probably isn't sustainable for Ola either, but at the same time, can Uber afford to give up those users, even in the short term?
Oh, it is very much fixable. A lot of what we think are animal instincts are actually subject to a lot of influences and can be tweaked any number of ways.
It might be that Discord does no want to compete with Slack/Teams but wants to fully take a gaming/community niche while bigger players are fighting.
I know some narcissists that are deeply into taking a variety of drugs. Drugs are definitely not helping them at all.

I disagree with this. I've had two companies contact me and offer legitimate feedback after interviews, and I always left feeling happy and with good feelings about them.

I applied to one company and got a response back which was effectively "we really like you as a candidate, but it doesn't seem like you would be the right fit for this job / it doesn't seem like the interests you expressed in your interviews [which they correctly restated] matched up well with the duties we would have you perform. We will likely have jobs opening up which would align with what you like and you will be on the shortlist of candidates if you apply for those". Was it truthful? Who knows, but it left me feeling happy about how things went and I would consider applying there again.

Similarly, earlier on in my career after taking a few CS classes I applied for a different job, and the response was effectively "You are smart but you don't have the skills we require yet which are [x, y, z]. Come back when you do". What they said was true and I appreciated the feedback.

Contrast that with the myriad companies I applied to and never heard a response back from or didn't get a response back for many months from. I will never apply to these places again because it is clear that they don't respect prospective employees enough to even send a perfunctory email. Boiler plate rejections aren't as irritating but they are definitely still irritating. If you don't provide reasons for not hiring then employees will construct their own reasons, and they may not be true and / or favorable towards your company.
Well that how I understood their "communication". They were so concerned about me waiting in a crowded area at night that they gently offered to take 3-4x times my money just to be sure a driver comes faster.

This levels of concerns warms my blood.
Right now, it's not a big deal if 1% of satellites die before they can deorbit or go to a graveyard orbit. When there's thousands of satellites going up every year I think it starts to become a potential issue.
If you were a narcissist, you probably wouldn't notice or didn't want to fix it. I think this is part of the definition.

But being egocentric is probably normal for some parts of the population.

I fixed this by only hanging out with people who interest me. So I would genuinely hear what they have to say. This also led to most men disappearing out of my life. Somehow I don't find men interesting.

Also, I started being an interesting person myself, so people would be actually interested if I would speak about me. I mean, it one thing to bore everyone around you, but if they want you to talk, why not do it?
I don't think that's helpful, especially when your country goes out of its way to make the process difficult and discourage participation, which the US has certainly been guilty of in the past.
HIIT + fast .. that's a first. How old are you ? 20 ?
It's all context dependent really. It can go either way. For example:

- Smooth scrolling that's actually smooth and fast gives you immediate feedback on where the last line you were reading is. There's no guesswork in "how much did that page jump down exactly" anymore.

- Smooth scrolling which is laggy and bouncy doesn't remove the confusion and may add to it instead.

For animation example:

- A quick (even 3-frame) animation for minimising a window doesn't delay you, but gives you information: where is your window now on the taskbar, and the action indeed happened (if you have 2 similar documents opened and the window just disappears, it may not be clear)

- A slow, fancy animation that rolls up your window just introduces delay and distracts from the task, even if it provides the benefits above.

Finally, useless animation, especially connected to the accelerometer, can induce motion sickness, so sometimes it's worth making it less smooth/much faster. We can still register 2-3 frame blinks as something specific happening.

As usual, there's a lot of grey area in between having animation, or not.

I don't think currently organ transplants happen between countries. Even in the US the transplant centers are on a regional basis and any shift in regions to even things out becomes highly contentious.
I walked past this 'experiment' every day for a number of years at UQ in Brisbane (on route to my lunchtime nap in the great court). The glass cabinet is fairly inconspicuous, sitting outside a bunch of small rooms, above a minor thoroughfare. I don't remember exactly how long it took me to take notice and stop to read the inscription (2 years+?) but I was impressed when I did. And it's extraordinary the number of times it has come up in conversation since.
I can't imagine but think "viewership of folks who left the app open"

In other words, could you separate out:

- others who ragequit because of annoying previews?
