You might be right in terms of hair or eye color (not too many gingers outside Europe), but Africa has a vast amount of genetic diversity, so I'd naively guess that variance along other feature dimensions would be correspondingly higher too.

I think you are missing what I am saying. The person I was responding to said the police cheif and mayor has lost control. If they have then they failed at their job and should be replaced.

This does not mean that other things should not also be done.

I beleive getting rid of / modifing the police unions would be beneficial. Fixing the whole qualified immunity issue would also be good. But I also think police need representatives to protect them from false accusations or from being railroaded. Maybe that is from a union or maybe its from something else.
Sure, but if you do both, isolating the elderly becomes easier because there is less prevelance and slip-ups are less likely to cause issues. It is a totally different strategy than what he was saying. The US stopped nursing home visits as partial form of isolation.

To fully isolate you would need workers to go through quarantine periods before entering on shifts. Many vulnerable live at home so you'd have to provide support to isolate their cohabitants as well or something else. Physician specialists that serve vulnerable and non-vulnerable populations without enough overlap to split duties with similar doctors between both populations would need to operate inside a bubble boy setup or something.

The vulnerable also include people with pre-diabetes, heart conditions, etc. that may not be diagnosed, though maybe you just treat them as those not to be isolated.
So here’s a counter perspective: there is no good way to interview, there are just less bad ways, which depends on your company.

The worst filter is choosing at random. If I shuffle a stack of resumes and throw half in the trash, I have eliminated the unlucky candidates. I have certainly rejected a good number of skilled and highly qualified candidates. Regardless the filter did its job, I have fewer applications to review.

If I give candidates whiteboard problems, I filtered out thoughtful people who don’t perform well under pressure. If I look at interviewees github submission and blog posts I have filtered out intelligent people with a dearth of free time. If I combine the two filters with an OR relationship, I now let more people through and have a filter that is less effective at narrowing down candidates.

All filters filter out good candidates. Anyone who finds a way to find exactly the right candidates from a filter in a way that isn’t bespoke and is scalable is going to be very successful.
Solid Principles – Simplified with Illustrations
No, software people never do anything this controversial. They were just observing that they know of a universal law of nature as described in a recent Quillete article, and/or have second-hand knowledge of a particular quirk of a specific software that is definitely not just the reflection of its creators' myopic world-view.
An ad-tech company now owns a majority interest in Startpage.
Same old story. We will take money from the ad industry to protect users from the ad industry. Brilliant!

Maybe creating privacy-oriented search engines is actually a profitable venture as it seems inevitable someone on the opoposing side will eventually buy you out.

These online ad investors are so aggressive I expect Pi-Hole will one day be a target.
Would be the fastest way to drive the current user base away, I imagine. Of course, Apple probably wouldn't care about that.
"We are social animals."
Are we though? We're not like a flock of fish, herd of sheep, pack of wolves not even like apes. Or when was the last time you met a silverback human?

If we keep indoctrinate that, we may miss the real solutions.
Neither being an actuary or insurance adjuster makes you an expert on clinical lab tests.

My guess is the person you were chatting with heard some hyperbolic statistic about ELIZA tests and is repeating it.
Maybe a stupid question, but do you know whether it is really true that it only got publisher due to his relationships? I can imagine some professors also have an interest to convince students that they are 100% in their power (or at least that the student needs them). It might well be that you got published for quality and he wasn't really needed but lies/makes a bit of a show so that you will add him as co-author or similar.
The hell of it is that an awful lot of companies would shrug, back away slowly, rescind the job offer, and select a different candidate. I mean, the alternative is going toe to toe in a legal fight with freaking Amazon--what sane person would do such a thing?!

I can't abide a bully.
What Gear Are You In?
Yes, but unlike Startpage and Duck Duck Go, Pi-Hole is actually free and open software, so it could just be forked.
Lol, I should tell you about my thought experiment of capitalist society of perfect inequality (or how it would be an amazing place to live).
They exist but it's been a long time since mapping were an exclusive privilege - which is to say a government search engine might make some sense but favouring it with funding to the extent of roads likely doesn't.
It's incredibly sad that this is not getting as much attention as it should. Lots of people in the world knows about them, but not many countries, even those that suffered WWII are turning a blind eye to this. XinJiang is practically a huge concentration camp, no better than the Nazi ones, and in fact might be worse.

Unfortunately the only way to save these people is to defeat CCP, but most governments are too busy earning RMB.

Now that the US government are taking on this issue, I hope the world follows.
Privacy is not "inside baseball"
Having gone through a similar experience, I would say that your experience may vary depending on org culture, sub-culture within individual teams, and the traits of your manager. That said, there are always loose ends that will need ownership and that's where your "entrepreneurial" chops would kick in. You approach to execution would/should reflect on the lessons you've learnt.

Startup - Enterprise does not mean a paradigm shift in everything. Yes, there are some aspects that would change. And then there will be a lot of scope for applying your self-made learning and leanings.
That seems to misunderstand the path from apprentice to journeyman (singular) to master. Look to actual (not software) engineers for that. They still do it and they somehow managed it even with present day educational standards.

There is also a deep misunderstanding of what the Internet is. It's not a "third dimension" or a set of marketing hype. It is an engineering marvel. Which again drives home that the author has no grounding in engineering.

This "pyramid of mastery" is roughly as sensible as organizing your bookshelf by color. It might please the eye of a layman, but makes no sense to the knowledgeable. There is no sense of sweep and scope of concepts and instead everything is labelled by size of something a novice can easily identify. Never mind that this shape would be an inverted pyramid given the current taxonomy and concept of size, it just doesn't make sense as a path toward mastery.

Then there is cyclic learning, not drawn because apparently it would spoil the oversimplified diagrams.

I don't understand this piece. It's not trying to sell me anything. If it were, it would be better designed to a purpose. For charity's sake, I'll choose to believe it's an apprentice's draft, a first effort at prose.
>Moreover, I don’t have a lot of reserve energy in the tank to direct it at another startup after 10 years of blood, sweat and toil.

>...What are some things I should consider before switching?

Take a break if you can afford it. I think that will serve you better than almost any other thing you can do, work related. I've felt this way, and took a few months off, I was champing at the bit to get back to work and start making something happen. You'll think a lot clearer about what you want to do next with some time away.

After you get out of a serious relationship, you need time to heal, regroup, re-find yourself, re-learn who you are, etc before you start dating again. It's similar with jobs you put a lot into.
Uncomputable problems in MTG were an issue for a while but can be handily solved with this card[0].

It’s not practical when you have to do it several times a day and having a cable lying around and having to connect it sort of defies the purpose of a wireless keyboard/mouse.

Same applies to Bluetooth speakers by the way, pairing is just horribly annoying. I wish they’d just replace the volume buttons for a dedicated pairing button instead of having a different way to pair on each device (do I hold the volume or that other button? Was it 3 or 15 seconds)

I must admit having several computers is a bit of an edge case, but still.
I dunno, dinosaurs seem pretty biologically complex to me. We've got examples of just about all the features you'd come across today (possibly even venom).

I suppose if we take intelligence as a sort of measure of overall complexity it could work, the obvious issue being that we can only make the roughest of estimates for it.
Here's a suggestion and no scientific evidence backing this.

The virus might have spread worldwide earlier. There might have been deaths due to it earlier too. There was no way of knowing it until Jan 2020. No testing. Nothing. Also the fact that this virus affects people with existing conditions, there's a very good chance that initial deaths / patient 0 / index patient might have been tagged as dead under their respective conditions. As far as the symptoms go, there's no 'unique' symptom so that might have led to people saying that their coughing is due to cold or whatever.
FYI: Wedding photographers deal with the contrast between white dresses and black suits/tuxedos every day, for the last century.

Some notes:

- the eye can handle the dynamic range, but there's no correct exposure for that photographic combination, so they play with lighting, exposure bracketing and dodging when printing

- it's recommended that brides wear off-white (like cream) or other colors of fabric if they're concerned about the photos
Why? Just open yourself up to anti-trust issues with very little upside in earnings.
Maybe this is a stupid question but is DDG for sale?
Well my journey was a bit different than yours. I was Lead Dev at a small startup (<10 people) and went to a non-FAANG Fortune 500 and assumed a Sr role on a team. Things I didn't think would bother were a dress code. It does, it does bother me. Especially in the Summer. I was surprised on my first day that I didn't get to choose my own O.S. I really miss Linux, it really effects my productivity being in Mac. I thought projects Jira tasks would be better planned, they are not, they barely have any information in them. Documentation is a joke somehow. Onboarding was a joke. They just kinda stuck me in there. I couldn't believe I had better processes in place at the startup. Things move slow. Some days I barely have any work, its not much fun. There are things that can't be beat though. Chance to move around. Better benefits. With that said, I'll be looking for a smaller company after I've reached my year mark (they have me in relocation expense cuffs).

I hope your experience is better. If you're going to a FAANG I imagine it will be. This place is much more buttoned up.
What does the transition from "duality" to "paradox" look like?
Look at the 95% confidence intervals on those results.

I wouldn't take a study with N=256 (103 positive, 153 negative) seriously in claiming the specificity is a couple percentage points lower than the manufacturer's standard. That's simply too low of a cohort to draw that conclusion.

Even the conclusion from that study you linked was actually that the test wasn't that accurate in the first 14 days of infection (which is already known for ab tests), not that test specificity is lower.
It's also probably not as bad as Oracle taking over Sun, for that matter.

I am wondering what this mean to things like setting scientific consensus?

I mean, Isn't the same think applicable to any case where perception of the majority by indvidual is skewed by network effects such as these? Also, isn't it within the realm of possibility that it is much easier for a bad actor to alter this perception of the global?
If that's all DDG are doing it would be simple for Apple to replicate, no? Do Bing charge for this? If not could they legally enforce such charges?
What aren't there more DDGs around?

I did some digging. It seems the prof is still under investigation but is currently active at his institution.
DuckDuckGo is a Bing frontend, no? An acquisition by Apple wouldn't make sense, because they'd just be writing checks to Microsoft. In any case, I don't think the proposition is something to get upset over.
Non-compete agreements haven't been enforceable in California since 1872.
This is what most outside counsel in WA advise their corporate clients. Use non-competes. Even though everyone knows they are essentially unenforceable.

A "venomous separation" is more lucrative for outside counsel than an amicable one where they are not needed.
of course not random, but the person switching jobs.

clearly (from amazon's perspective) you can't switch to google without revealing secrets and violating your NDA, therefore we sue you.

Yes, I've had good luck without oil. Without oil, I usually wait to pepper until afterward. Pepper burns quickly and most of it will just stick to the skillet, interfering with the surface contact.

Personally, I like using butter or ghee. Aside from the taste, it increases and distributes the heat transfer more evenly across the surface which provides a more uniform sear. If you do use oil, I'd recommend using ghee or refined olive oil and make sure to "temper" it first (allow it to warm with the skillet).
Being able to move around (several monitors) and easy use of a standing desk are some advantages. I have a workstation under my desk and a laptop that I frequently hook up to my monitors frequently.
Hot damn, I may be > 400 lbs but I'm taking Vitamin D, Zinc, AND have o-positive. I also wear masks everywhere, cause I'm not stupid. I'll let you know if I survive.

Before the lectures about 'have you tried losing weight', I was 690 in 2012, so yeah, it's just a SLOW burn, not a fast overnight thing, still going down, just slow and about 80 lbs is skin that needs removed and I just haven't been able to afford that surgery yet and was wanting to get lower still first anyways.

W/ covid here, seems not the best time for electives anyways.
Another problem is that the answers the recruiters want to see don't change depending on the position. You shouldn't expect a new graduate and a senior developer write the same code for the same problem.

I was asked to write a Roman numeral to decimal converter in an interview for a senior developer role. I hadn't thought about it before, so I came up with a lookup table that handled all the special cases (there are only a few, such as IV and IX).

The recruiter (who was also the owner of the startup) didn't like my solution because he expected me to write a generic parser. Now, if I were him, I would have expected a senior developer to correctly determine if the specs for a 2000 year old problem could change in the near future and write the more performant solution when possible.
Not new to technological social networks. Edward Bernays wrote a couple of books on exploiting pre-computer social networks in the early 20th century.

That's true and goes to my point. There's a classism at work here that isn't about the style of policing.

For the UK, class is the defining structural issue, not race. Journalists and the police have typically protected and respected the upper-middle.

That's interacting here with a police oversight in an usual way
This nails it.
That's really up to the reviewers. I've definitely been told that I need to clarify different parts of my paper in my reviews.

Ultimately, peer review is only as good as your peers. If they won't call out bullshit, then bullshit gets published.

If your comment were code, TypeScript would have caught your typo at compile time, versus JavaScript where your users would have experienced this (potentially catastrophic) error at runtime.
This is all fantastic advice. I spent the first 26 years of my career working at startups and small companies before taking a job at a big, public tech company last year. This advice is spot-on.

I find that I'm actually working much harder here but my work is more focused and in a single lane. I'm not bouncing around all day between 20 different things. I'm grinding for months on end on one tough, big problem. It's not bad, just...different. The pay is much better here but you are expected to _be_ better.
On Ubuntu, earlyoom basically does that. It's great.

sudo apt install earlyoom
I hard agree. Startups can burn you out a lot. I've been there myself. The best position is if you can line up a start date a month or two after quitting.
* Things work slowly, so relax.

The extent of this is hard to grasp outside of bigco. At oracle we had layoffs/reorg - no real work was done for ~7 days, and it took 3 months to figure out our new roles/responsibilities. Some people were paid $40k+ in that time period and did very little work.

Things occasionally move very very slow. Twiddle your thumbs and be happy about your huge salary, don't quit like I did!
>>There is a widespread belief that putting in 10,000 hours will make you an expert, but that myth has been proved wrong many times).

No, that is a misinterpretation of what deliberate practice involves. Most shallow interpretations like this one just talk about the time involved, and not about the other important factors like continuous feedback and focused practice, and then call it a myth.
They are considering switching from tsc to a TypeScript compiler written in Rust[0][1], and `deno fmt` subcommand already uses it internally.

I don't understand why people hate to be tested objectively.

- The task was to implement a basic tic tac toe AI (with open book !!!)

the state space is so small that anything would work fast enough in a modern computer.

- Some candidates somehow manage to build a program that loses?? that is, it's buggy and they failed to test it.

- The interviewer uses subjective criteria that somehow results in broken code being accepted unanimously.

- Some people overengineered their solutions and this is called impressive.

- Someone failed to implement the exercise, wrote an answer that can be googled in a couple of seconds. Made an irrelevant comment about "min-max" vs "negmax" ( performance is not a concern (small state space) and negmax's main advantage is being DRY).

Made a comment about "test bloat" despite empirical evidence from the submissions showing that there was under testing.

and the conclusion that I am supposed to have is that interviewing without code is better? a worth-mentioning portion of the candidates couldn't ship a working implementation of a standard algorithm and the conclusion is less code??

To be honest tic tac toe is a bad task to choose.
it's trivial, easily googlable, and has little room for skill expression. It's also doesn't test the candidates' ability to choose the correct algorithm for the task.
and it fails to probe daily aspects of dev work ( concurrency, networking, databases ..) that traditional onsite interviews are less able to test.
To never lose at TicTacToe is not possible

Sorry I don't understand that. Normal playing at decent skill level is going to always lead to a draw, which is not losing.

Am I missing something?
I suspect you are an outlier. Amazon takes ~50% of online shopping market share [1]. Admittedly it is lower than I thought. I expected it to be closer to 70%. Google for search is actually at 71% [2]. Either way, I think 50% is enough market power to be treated as a monopoly, not sure about the legal definition.

That said, I am not particularly worried about Amazon basics as these are commodity products, as long as they are being transparent about it. Monopoly is a problem only if they use tactics that prevent competitors from emerging - example could be incentivizing vendors to sell only on Amazon.

To add to this, there are at least 3-4 pain points which... are just a pain with ReasonML, that can kinda counteract its type system.

- non-standard ordering of arguments between belt/standard library

- Ocaml's standard library actually generally avoiding the Option/Result type, in preference of exceptions, which is unexpected and a pain since it's an ML.

- package management involves manually adding things to the bsconfig (has this changed?)

- things randomly break between relatively minor Bucklescript versions, they broke something pretty important in like a .x release when I was messing around with it

- server side isn't good. It technically works but all the bindings are old or terribly documented, and you never really know if it's not going to blow up at some point.

Otherwise, I actually quite like it! None of those are actual core language complaints.
For me, part of the draining effect isn't just due to being an introvert... it's because I tend to engage far too willingly in what most would treat as shallow casual interactions.

I tend to treat even strangers with too much respect to give them less than my full attention and thoughtful responses. That makes it a draining chore.
This is good advice, these are all areas where I have improved.
Bonnie Pointer founding member of The Pointer Sisters has died at the age of 69
She died on Monday, according to her sister and fellow singer Anita, Bonnie’s sister Anita says she was her best friend and the band would never have happened without her.

Wireless hdmi: Though it’s technically not the same, think of chromecast, I think it’s nice to be able to stream stuff on the tv without the need to physically connect it.

Since power cables are still the easiest to find in a normal household (compared to any cables that carry data), I’d argue that anything except for these can have at least a little bit of value if it’s wireless and done in a convenient way.
