I certainly know my clinical anxiety has caused far too many interviews to crash and burn spectacularly. It'll be like "wow, you're graduate educated, 16 years experience, you must be hot shit", and then I go up and just flounder. For me it's not so much writing on a whiteboard, it's having someone standing next to me, or sitting in a chair looking up at me, occasionally interrupting me. I'll try to think out loud and all of that stuff, but that seems to invite questions that sound judgmental to me. I'll start thinking "they don't believe in me, they don't like me, they think I'm a fraud". Unfortunately, I've had those fears confirmed some times too. I had an interview end with a guy saying, as he handed me off to the next person, "You really are the lead of the ... department?"
> but they wanted more in-depth knowledge of their products and culture.

Well, you dodged a narcissistic bullet, that's for sure.

Maybe I'm too old and jaded, but I can't stand corporate bullshit. I don't give a shit about mission statements or your product portfolio. Who has time for that shit?
The terrible tragedy of the incident aside, graphic details hint at this being a very costly signal. The sender(s) of the signal must feel threatened, but generally consider themselves immune to American law enforcement.

Although many circumstances are unknown to me, at first approach this looks like a sad illustration of the intense frontier between new business models powered by emerging technology and entrenched business interests in many parts of the world.

Judging by Gokada’s business model, the signal is probably intended to deter any further attempts at competing with local taxi and limo businesses.
True tho innit? "These code changes _should_ result in these functionality changes, _if_ I have reasoned and programmed correctly, and haven't missed anything."
Better payout than the $2.9k for disclosing this to Twitter via bug bounty.
Just what kind of an operation is Twitter running here? It seems crazy that they don't have any kind of anti-abuse system in place that could just block tweets with this specific Bitcoin address or possibly tweets matching the regexp of any Bitcoin address. I.e. limit the damage and buy a couple of hours while they try to find the root cause.

(Yes, yes, staged rollouts. But anti-abuse systems don't work by those rules, at least in emergencies.)

How did they possibly steal Elon Musk's Twitter account? We need a post-mortem on this because if he can be phished, then we need to know how, and if it was some internal hack then I also need to know how. That's extremely scary!
I don't think that's what I'm looking for. I use a tiling window manager already. I'm talking about using the keyboard to put your cursor on a specific part of the screen (note, not to replicate mouse movements, which I also do via keyboard already)
This is like saying a kid is murdering rabbits from the family garden in their room and since nobody said it was wrong, it's right - until the family tells them it's not.

I disagree, a stock-trading scam would be way easier to track than crypto.
Twitter should just ban all Btc address posting momentarily until this is solved
I meant in the sense of SIM-swap hacks, though SMS-posting would also make sense as a vector (had Twitter not recently ended it)

Love how they don't just ban the bitcoin address. Firehose big data my ass. No one at home at Twitter.

While this is a good measure, what does it mean to the decentralization promise of Bitcoin?
Yep, that's the only intractable problem, so trials either go unpaid or pay without filling taxes, which is somewhat shady.

It's a myth that developers have a ton of offers. There are few developers who got lucky to have multiple offers at some point in their life. It won't last forever. They will eventually face a bad situation trying to get a job after being laid off or being on extended paternity or medical break.

Consider the current recession with record high unemployment, countless employees are desperate to get a job, including developers. Yet companies still prefer to have impassable interviews and hire nobody, than to give a trial.

An incredibly number of people in the entire world who have seen these tweets, and currently, 5:16 eastern, shows 271 transactions.

Looks like Israel has made a tiny drone that can carry a small shaped charge that can punch a hole is a gas tank or cylinder of flammable gas. With IR video and encrypted coms and larger plastic propellers that make a lot less noise they can fly in at 500 feet to an area and with no IR searchlight (dead reckoning via GPS or an Israeli secret GPS, waaay off band to our GPS) it can rreach an area, descend, light up, select target and self kill in contact with a target, or attach magnetically, set timer - OR - trigger remotely?
and fly the drone away. Drones with 30 minutes to do this, only 6 inches wide are on youtube. The era of small sabotage has begun. Expect Iran to also do this, and israel needs to operate a picket to stop these. I am sure Iran has assessed the fragments and will also make a picket...All informed spec about what I would do after that TED episode

Hmm, wikipedia (and the ASN used as source) seems to describe this incident a bit differently. I didn't see anything about core temperature rising uncontrollably, it's slightly inaccurate to say that control of the rods themselves was interrupted (only a positioning indicator; they could've emergency shut down the reactor with the rods if they needed to; not sure why you say the control rod failsafe didn't work), and the "emergency flood" of boron which "luckily worked" was standard operating procedure. Do you have a better source?

Just curious, how many extensions do you have? I'm trying not to bloat my browser too much with them, but have 3-4 privacy related extensions and a couple of utility ones. Right now I have 22 tabs and Firefox uses 5-6 GB of RAM.
Restart decreases RAM usage, but Firefox slowly eats RAM again.

I remember recently I freed 10GB of RAM just by restarting Firefox. I literally looked at Ubuntu's System Monitor. And I keep everything updated.

Tried to play with settings in about:config, made even worse and reset.
So much for "Bitcoin is anonymous, decentralized and nobody controls it".

Well, I probably used it last time 10 years ago and still remember it.

All you need to remember is that you sort points by angle from a fixed point on the convex hull, and you can easily work out the rest of the algorithm as well as the proof of correctness.

Not knowing it is a relevant signal that you did not seriously attempt to compete in computer science competitions during high school and college and did not otherwise have a burning desire to learn algorithms and data structures nor a specific interest in computational geometry. Whether it's in Google's interest to select for that of course is debatable.

For printing the codes? The programmer in me says something like:

"Error: 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION - (Error, Microsoft defined, unreserved)
Error: This is an internal error that prevented normal operation of the application. Please contact support at X."

Which conveys all of the information in the code and tells the user what they should do and that it wasn't their fault. Then it's a different story to say which code would be the most useful for the user.

NPM does something like this[1].

From what I heard the hunger problem is mostly coming from refined carbs, not carbs in general. I have nowhere near the expertise to make a claim one way or the other.

But even if true, if you don't go for a drastic weight reduction schedule you can snack on fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc. trough the day while still staying well within approximate calorie goals. I don't quite see why you should limit yourself to 3 fixed meals.

While at some point we might be able to say with certainty diet x is better for situation y, from my experience with myself and people in my circles, in practice, the by far hardest, but most important part of losing weight is switching and staying from an unhealthy lifestyle to a reasonably healthy one, whichever philosophy that might be.

I think for a lot of people Keto offers a fairly smooth transition. Just the images of the dishes alone look 10x more appealing than what is usually associated with diet meals. But in my case, you would have to pry that European bread from my dead hands before I remove it from my diet. I would not stick with Keto for a single week. On the extreme change side, I also saw someone going straight from living off of instant ramen, burgers and energy drinks to full on vegan buying only on farmers market or make/grow it at home.
Honestly, if we really wanted to do something against mega-corps, we wouldn't:

1. Use their products

2. Vote for people that support them

3. Just complain and take no action

Since we don't do any of the above, can't be surprised at the outcome. We are all to blame.

With so many accounts compromised, the hackers might actually have full access to Twitter's backend. The postmortem would be very interesting. I'll be looking forward to it.

Imagine if the hackers timed the intrusion during github outage, and twitter's employees can't deploy a fix for the exploit fast enough because github was down!
I wonder if Elon is a type of guy who uses apps like Buffer or Social media manager app. It looks more like some exploit within Twitter which they've leveraged and orchestrated a coordinated tweet attack
I've not checked twitter api docs but I've seen stuff like "Posted from: Zombo smart fridge" and was under the impression an app could fill that field in with whatever they like.
They are doing lots of stuff that is bad for users and good for apple.[0][1] We could list some and argue but even if you don't agree it is possible for the peoples representatives to negotiate deals. (Or do we need a separate union for this?)

It would be somewhat of a pain in the ass to figure out a legal model that doesn't create unfair advantage/disadvantage but I leave that as an exercise for the law makers.

Users want something like a TB worth of compatible storage on icloud or google drive or $whatEver, for "free" and a pony. Apple can be like, that would be 4 euro and 22 cents per EU citizen, 2.34 billion for compatibility with other hosting providers and no to the pony, we don't do ponies.

I think one concept missing from the post is that good writing takes heavy thought on what to remove and not talk about.

Beginning developers or writers of technical information often just transcribe and document everything. In that, the emphasis of the writing is "flat". Everything is equally important. That is lazy thinking.

You encounter this in people doing standup summaries for their teams and just regurgitating everything on their minds, taking up people's time. Usually it means they haven't prepared in advance and thought through what they're going to say.

It takes actual work to distill that to "what things matter to other people?". "What details are important to mention, and not to mention?" Every word included takes away from another word that could be said. Which words are most important?

It takes actual work, understanding of the use cases, and thought, to turn flat documentation into perspective that people find useful. It means often, opinionated editing and writing from a point of view of, what's important (if it is not a pure reference work).
That's not really correct, though. We may safely assume that the dean of Harvard would prefer to keep Steven Pinker on board (and, if not, substitute another controversial figure whose boss does). But the dean of Harvard is afraid to do so: afraid to follow his own moral compass and act upon the strength of his convictions because the Harvard donors are likewise afraid to support him if he does: not because they agree with Pinker's firing, but because they're afraid of anonymous mob justice, too, and on and on up the line. "Cancel culture" is the exact opposite of people expressing themselves as a reaction: it's weaponized fear such as has only ever been used by Marxist dictators or as a precursor to such.

This is not completely true. The taxation differs country to country in Europe.
Are we certain that Twitter's share price won't be affected?
This sounds like a way to tax corporate profits in proportion to the amount of VAT, property tax, employment taxes, etc. already paid in each country.

Wouldn't it be simpler just to tax those things? We already collect those taxes, and can set any rates we wish. Why not just abolish the the tax on corporate profits?
The attacker must have added some high level access, for it to be still ongoing.
Do you have any evidence this is a Twitter flaw and not a 3rd party app?
People who use exchanges are traders (retail or professional) and hodlers who don't want to deal with the intricacies of managing 100+ coins on 50+ blockchain networks. The decentralization of cryptocurrencies is not an all-or-nothing proposition - users can choose the level of decentralization they would like based on their preferences.

What I like most about decentralization is that anyone in the world can create a new crypto business on the blockchain rails, integrate with everyone else, and attract users. Of course there are real-world repercussions if your physical entity is in a locale with laws that you violate, but it is orders of magnitude easier to start a crypto exchange than a traditional bank.

Slack is an existing word that's pretty common word, though, which was my point.

Right, but an app shouldn’t be spying on me to support a feature I don’t actively use. If they want to include it in the binary for other people to use, I don’t have a big problem with that as long as it stays off.

A corollary is that the app shouldn’t ask for a permission until the user has asked it to do something that will obviously require that permission.

I'm not a doctor and there's a good chance I'm missing something, but this seems crazy to me. How could this be known already? I could understand if it just means that short term side-effects are rare to nonexistent, but what about long term issues or rare catastrophic ones?

Firstly, one can have innovation with no economic growth and vice-versa, the two phenomena are distinct and separate. Much of econonic growth is about organisatuonal aspect's of society, rather than inventing new technology. Technology depebds on world of atoms, ans discoveries do not come on demand, nor are they particularly well rewarded. Einstein did not die a billionaire. Neither did most great scientists.

Hah, that's a good rebuttal. Well it would be an excellent estimator if it was unbiased (or at least had very little bias). But if f is an estimator for the true average of a function F where E[F] = 100 (for example), it's very clearly not unbiased.

It is a bit tongue in cheek.

I’ve said, at multiple interviews, “there’s a library function something like this — normally I’d google it” and made up some syntax.

Yeah, I would have guessed a platform like Twitter would have anti-abuse systems with at least term filters.
That study turned out to be quite flawed, because the cases were ordered [1].

In particular, cases were grouped by prison and within each prison, prisoners without an attorney went last. As the well-known saying goes, "the man who represents himself has a fool for a client": the pro se prisoners fare far worse than those with a lawyer. Judges tried to complete an entire prison before taking a meal break, and therefore ended one session with the statistically weakest cases and began the next with stronger set, thereby guaranteeing the result.

If you look at the original data, some other oddities pop out. A physiological process, like becoming hungry, should depend more on the wallclock time than the number of cases heard. However "However, note that in an analysis that included both the cumulative minutes variable and the ordinal position counter, only the latter was significant."
