Why do hiring managers input into the design? Would it not be more efficient to have in-house recruiters provide their keyword scan values?

Having been a hiring manager in that space, I'm not convinced the format mattered more than avoiding the obvious overly inscrutable wall of text, grammar check failures, or irrelevant data points.
Same as with bank accounts and transfers.

Speech-language Pathology student here. I would recommend going to see a speech therapist. It will likely be covered by your health insurance. Find an SLP who specializes in AAC (Augmented and Alternative Communication) who can help your wife communicate if she loses her speech. Your DIY approach could work, but having support from an SLP to help her learn the system, and come up with other options if it doesn't cover all of her communication needs, will go a long way.
The author of this paper alerted Google on June 11, 7:35 AM EST, less than 6 hours ago. While we recognize this is a rapidly-evolving space, a few hours is not in line with responsible disclosure[1] timelines.

While we're still preparing a proper response to the submitter, the paper makes an invalid assumption that RPI rotation and BLE address rotation are out-of-step and overlap. The BLE and RPI changes are synced; the MAC address is always rotated with the RPI/packet is rotated. We're still investigating our implementation to verify, but we do not believe this to be a vulnerability. I will reply to this thread should our investigation find anything.

You might want to try DIY'ing something like this [1] depending on the extensiveness of her surgery. It basically records electrical signals (EMG) emitted by the vocal chords (subvocalizations) and can convert it to text with ML/other signal processing algorithms. Basically a rudimentary version of the transhumanist Brain-Computer Interfaces that would enable telepathy.

From the sounds of it the difference between Facebook's actual crawler and malware could be hard to define or differentiate, given the circumstances.

I just thought of a malicious idea. If I were Amazon or some other cloud provider, I could hammer my customers' web sites with tons of requests to make them pay more for resource usage (network bandwidth, s3 calls, misc per/unit usage etc). It would be hard to trace as well. Wonder if people are already doing that today.
I think support for public transport will be one of the major casualties of this pandemic. In general, with this pandemic combined with the civil unrest, I think you may start seeing a lot of people fleeing the cities for the suburbs.
Nice website, folks. The 2-minute intro video does a great job presenting the value-prop. It looks like the solution detects events with a high probability of being a problem automatically via ML. Can I define my own events using custom condition criteria as well?

A smart contract wallet like argent could easily prevent this.
This wouldn't happen with a bank wire, because you don't set the fee. You choose where to send, and how much to send. And that's it.

Yes, you can send to the wrong place, but for example, in Brazil, to transfer to another person, you have to specify:

- Name

- bank

- bank branch

- bank account

- CPF (government national ID)

if anything doesn't match, the transaction doesn't go through.
I always thought those movie scenes where the protagonist holds a device up to a keypaf and the door unlocks were pure fantasy. But with tight enough control over a phased array, and detailed knowledge of the hardware.... anything might be possible.

These events are better analyzed in terms of the Red Team, which let itself be taken over by some egregiously moronic positions. Being for the rule of law and against the plague should be common sense American values. The idea of airing "both sides" doesn't work when one "side" has gone off the deep end and is penning op eds about using the military to help rioting police attack constitutionally-protected protests. There's nothing inherently "woke" about ignoring anti-American tripe - if the Red Team wants to be taken seriously again, it needs to develop some adult opinions to embody actual Conservative values.
The absolute numbers don't seem far fetched. An AVX optimized memcpy on my high end machine (DDR4) has a throughput of 30GB/s.

As long as they are using the same memcpy routine in both the decompression case and the 'only memcpy' case, that seems reasonable. Obviously, the quicker memcpy becomes, the faster the decompression has to become to maintain the same performance ratios, but things like faster clock speeds or multi-threading can make that issue moot.

Tarpits are an underappreciated solution to a pool of bad actors.

You can add artificial wait times to responses, or you can just route all of the 'bad' traffic to one machine, which becomes oversubscribed (be sure to segregate your stats!). All bad actors fighting over the same scraps creates proportional backpressure. Just adding 2 second delays to each request won't necessarily achieve that if multiple user agents are hitting you at once.
The UK version was fairly short but hit all the high points pretty well. The US version had several more seasons and had more opportunities to build characters and explore ideas, which worked until around Season 5-6. The later seasons of the US edition had their moments, but were clearly running out of steam.

Ah I see, thank you, that makes sense. Sadly it seems this model doesn't publish an endurance specification at all, so it's hard to tell how close I am to its end of life. Interestingly mine actually already has some errors:

Articles that discuss the USA as a monolith are immediately problematic. There are 50 states, and 50 different philosophies on fighting the virus.

Also, this:
"Mission accomplished only works when there is a vaccine, which is at least a year away."

No, we didn't sign up for a lockdown until a vaccine exists.

Has anyone wondered why we don't hear about Wisconsin in the news? The Wisconsin lockdown was ended a month ago by the courts, against the state government's will.
There isn't a spike in cases a month later. Why is that? Why isn't that being reported? In the US, I no longer hear about Sweden on the news either.

What I do know is that the US media was vehemently against people congregating outdoors a few weeks ago, and then decided that the risk was worth it when people began to protest for a righteous cause they happened to agree with. They were acting like the world was going to end a week before when a bunch of rednecks were swimming together at the Lake of the Ozarks. Specifically, they talked about covid spreading like wild-fire at choir practices due to the nature of people yelling and projecting moisture droplets. They were totally cool with the yelling protesters though. (I support the protests and think they were right to ignore the virus while exercising their rights.)

It's summer time, and my friends and neighbors just don't think it's worth it to not live their lives. It might be a dumb decision in the long run. We shall see. But the media is invested in an apocalyptic narrative. They report bad news, ignore good news. Their reporters, like the vast majority of journalists, are essentially mathematically illiterate, Nate Silver and his like aside. Twitter is filled with opinionated morons who I wouldn't trust to walk my dog, and these journalists are part of that club. Not listening to them anymore. From now on, I just look at the data.

Edit:
Ah yes, commence the down-voting by the fearful for not endorsing their strategy of pretending to be agoraphobic for 2 months. I might be wrong, and I admit it. But are any of you who are wiping down every package that comes into your house willing to admit you MIGHT be overreacting?
Start reading about and understanding design patterns. Then look at some non-trivial, open-source Android apps, see how they are put together. What elements do they use? How do they pass messages and share data?
> Ethereum users can dictate the terms of their transactions, setting both the amount of ETH they want to send and the amount of fees they are willing to pay. The higher the fee, the thinking goes, the more likely their transaction will be included on the next block — i.e. it will go through more quickly. It's possible, therefore, that someone attempted to send $2.6 million worth of ETH with $134 in fees and simply reversed the two fields.

Having to set up the fee for the transaction to hope the transaction would happen faster? Yeah, I don't see crypto replacing banks.

Oh, I see the value in ironmanning indefensible arguments.

There was a specific decision to choose a pro-authority question to use as an ironmanning example for an entrance exam. This seems in line with a current trend to select for obedience over competence. So it makes sense it raises eye brows. If there was no such trend, you'd have more of a point. BTW, I'm not saying it was 100% that, I don't know the specific case, just that it falls within certain patterns that people have every reason to be cautious towards.

The question could have been asked to ironman a racist, pedophile or abusive parent. The whole point of ironmanning is an exercise in reasoning, empathy and ability to see other's points even when wrong. So the less reasonable arguments exist, the more the exercise is being applied.

You can ask to ironman any argument, I'm not against that, it's actually something I practice. Just because I don't agree with this doesn't mean I'm ignorant or don't understand things. You assume much, which is ironic for someone talking about ignorance.
I have never seen anyone able to explain why IOTA isn't nonsense and a scam. They seem to claim that trinary encryption and trinary processors are going to be revolutionary for some reason. They have been claimed decentralization is coming since it was created, but there has never been an explanation for how that will even work.
Is a bit harder to wire a large amount As bank make it a bit different than sending etransfers, in crypto, there is no limit, all transfer for any amount goes through the same interface.

Yes, but you have to worry about several things, at least:

* what's your latency for noticing and spinning up those resources (especially in chains where the average time between blocks is very short)?

* can you cost-effectively confidently outcompete ASIC miners with rented GPUs, even given a reward that's much larger than normal? (probably, given this very extreme anomaly, but you have to do the calculation)

* can you actually rent enough GPUs in practice to outcompete the ASIC miners?

* will it be worth it to ASIC miners who know or speculate that you're doing this to speculatively mine for a while on a shorter chain in which they receive the reward instead of you, in the hope that they can make it longer than yours?

Edit: Finally, do some of the ASIC miners have offline capacity (e.g. old equipment, or equipment located in places where electricity got more expensive) that is physically present in a datacenter but just powered off that they can also spin up quickly in response to these conditions?
This is a ridiculous take. There’s plenty of problems with crypto but this isn’t one of them. The payment protocol has no reason to be irreversible, why would you ever want that. Reverse transactions should be handled by institutions, and institutions should use the protocol. If they make a mistake while using the protocol, they work together with the other institutions to fix it, exactly as happens with bank transfers.

Yes it’s stupid to use a crypto currency network to send personal raw transactions, but the tech is still young and a lot of people do it. Eventually that won’t happen.

Yes you can burn currency by sending it to an invalid address. You can also burn cash. Build controls so that people won’t do it.

The closest example is modern databases. If you let users run sql directly they could drop their own database. That’s an irreversible transaction. The solution is to abstract that power away so that it’s extremely hard to do extremely dangerous things.
csears, founder here - could not agree more with your comments.
1. we learnt early to make user feedback easy (and immediately actionable) - they can quickly "like", "mute" and "spam". Or go more granular if needed.
2. This is an insightful comment. A few of our early users gave us similar feedback, and we've been hard at work. We'll soon be releasing a mode that takes an incident signal from your incident management tool such as PagerDuty or even Slack (often people create a Slack workspace per incident), and constructs a report around it.
3&4 are good points as well. Don't disagree about enrichment, just need to stage things.
> So it took about 3 days for this anarchist utopia to demonstrate exactly why police exist.

Yes, but not current american police. What is demonstrated here is that unchecked power is bad, which is pretty close to what the american police currently seems to have, leading to crimes like the one that started the whole protest.
Consider that Olympus/Fujifilm tried this in the early 2000s with XD-Picture Card. (The cards were literally just a NAND flash chip wired up to the pins.) Even though this theoretically reduced the BOM cost for the cards, XD lost in the market to other solutions like Compact Flash and SD, which embedded a controller.

I would recommend Raspian Lite and install the server packages that you like. You can secure it similar to any other distro. I think there are checklists online that tell you how to configure it securely (root/sudo/user, ssh, permissions to change on specific folders or files).
That's a much better title, though less catchy.

One could retort to the original title saying all matter is, in fact, "quantum".
Yep. And I will go commercial if there is a good reason for it, or the free stuff sucks. For personal use there really isnt a good reason and most commercial software seems to expire in some way eventually.
What does population density mean? Number of people per household square footage? Number of people per household? Number of people per zipcode? City/rural? Population density is not a consistent predictor of covid19 spread by any of these measures, unless you also start taking other factors into account. Density matters "intuitively", but it's not borne out by the data.
Can is a large word, you need to standardize it, which is what’s needed and it’s a long way to go.

I'm not entirely sure if you've used Bitcoin before, but the transaction fee is basically a way to pay a miner to put your transaction into the block they're mining. A higher fee gives miners a higher incentive to add your transaction. But it's generally just a flat value, not tied to the amount being transferred in the transaction - don't think of it as a tip, think of it as paying the miners to take your transaction. Depending on the digital currency you're using, adding too small of a fee may mean your transaction is never added to a block and thus never actually happens.

For Bitcoin in particular I haven't been paying too much attention recently but I do know transaction fees have been getting much higher the past few years, like 5 to 10 dollars or so (Which means you have to pay 5 to 10 dollars to transfer any amount of Bitcoin from one address to another).
This is my favorite circuit book:

https://www.amazon.com/Analog-Circuit-Design-Personalities-E...

It is written from zen-level experts in a very ELI5 way. The examples start off with a naive approach, and step by step explain how they were improved, in some cases over decades.

Plus it focuses on how analog really is an art. Circuits have so many competing design parameters, and the canvas is so wide open, that it really takes a different kind of brain to approach the problem. This book gives a peak into that process in a comical, light-hearted way.
Hidden Stimulus in the Cares Act: Net Operating Loss Carrybacks Changes
> Ebooks will never be mainstream

Sorry, but I really doubt this. Ebooks take zero space, are instantly shareable, and are somewhat* easy to search.

I hate reading on regular phone/laptop screens, but my kindle paperwhite is actually pretty nice for regular text. I like my bookshelf, but not accruing hundreds of pounds in books is also very nice.

We'll likely continue to see updates to e-ink/similar screens that make them more palatable.

* Actually for referencing material, I find physical books + bookmarks/tabstops are way easier than navigating stupid UIs. When I was learning Rust I had several sections of O'Reilly's Programming Rust bookmarked for quick reference. At least for separate software like amazon's app, etc. With a PDF indexer/parsing tool like Paperless searching is pretty painless, but you need to set it up and convert everything to an indexable format like pdf. Unless I'm doing something wrong.
The kinks correspond to a set of measure zero, which you will likely never hit during execution, so one can safely ignore the problem as not physically relevant. One way to think of the problem is that the cost function we’re differentiating is approximate/fake, and whatever it needs to be (at some special neighborhoods) to give us derivatives we consider sensible (in large regions).

After all, there’s nothing so special about the ReLU... It would be very very weird/unstable if our algorithms worked for ReLU, but not the link-smoothed version of ReLU.
I just finished that. Great book!
Nice project. My gut says an agent based system is the right approach but this implementation doesn't go far enough. The agent is reduced to a world view while it should imho involve a willingness to do favors for other agents. It would be far less complicated (and dare I say less toxic) without a market. The list of systems all try to establish reliability/trust in their own way but we know who to trust irl. The service should just slow down if to few people in your circles are willing to contribute resources.

Building a Local Newsletter
Well there's not one single "the goal" that everyone follows. Some people are genuinely happy to be working for a company they really believe in, some people are looking for experience to level up their career/rise up the corporate ladder/start their own company in the future.

If you're just looking for a payout, going to a bunch of startups for 1 year and then moving on and collecting equity from all of them is an interesting approach. It potentially improves your odds of a > 0 payout compared to going all in on one startup and staying in one place for many years. But I suspect if you're optimizing for a combination of expected value + downside risk, you really can't do better than FAANG or a large unicorn. I suspect a very, very small number of people who have worked at any combination of various startups for the past 5 years will have outperformed someone who worked at Google that whole time. And that's before even taking into account the time value/liquidity of the public stock - even if some of the startups over that time period do go on to be successful, you might have to wait 5+ years after you leave to cash it out.
It isn't always the case, but a lot of times people do this to other people because they themselves are insecure.
As far as midi goes, that seems like a feature that is not implemented which is different from not working. That's like saying PDF isn't working in Chrome...
