> White is a cultural definition in the US which used to be legally defined and still carries cultural implications.

I guess where some non-Americans feel concerned about this, is the tendency to export US discourses about race to the rest of the English-speaking world (and even the world more broadly), despite the fact that other countries have different histories and cultures and understanding of what the words mean.

The Australian Human Rights Commission recommends analysing racial and cultural diversity in Australia in terms of four broad categories [1] – Indigenous, Anglo-Celtic, European, and non-European. ("European" is defined to exclude Anglo-Celtic people.) Slightly reminiscent of the American "one drop rule", people of mixed backgrounds are assigned to the more diverse background. By contrast, the US has an official classification of people into five different races [2].

Australia does have a rather horrible history of racial discrimination – for example, the "White Australia Policy" which for decades banned non-European immigration. However, I think the way Australian officialdom (governments, academics, etc) have tried to deal with that, is to avoid using racial categories like "white", and focus primarily on culture and multiculturalism. They are happy to talk about different ancestries/nationalities/cultures (Italian, Chinese, Indian, Lebanese, etc), but grouping them into racial categories is avoided in official contexts, although it still sometimes happens in less formal contexts. (Journalists sometimes talk about "Asian Australians" or "African Australians", but the government prefers to talk about Chinese and Filipinos and Sudanese and Eritreans.) When it is necessary, they'll split them into not explicitly racial groupings like Indigenous/Anglo-Celtic/European/non-European. That splits two groups of people both considered "white" in the US (Anglo-Celtic and European), while lumping together as non-European both some people officially considered "white" in the US (e.g. Lebanese people), and also multiple non-"white" races (Asian, African, Pacific Islander).

I think Australia's ways of dealing with its history are at times quite different from those of Americans, precisely because their histories are in many ways quite different. But I think many Americans unconsciously assume that understandings of race and culture that make sense in a US context must make sense for the rest of the world as well.

What a blatantly false statement. There is no sound scientific definition of "half" the antibodies.
How right wing, we talking dailystormer?
Because if you're talking without knowing what you're going to say, you're not thinking about the problem at hand.

The right thing to do is to narrate what you're thinking about. It's very different than starting a sentence without knowing what you're going to say.
Your original comment said that "default Prolog SLD resolution is just a depth-first search". SLD resolution is not "depth-first search", "just" or with additions. Depth-first search is a search algorithm. In Prolog, depth-first search is used to find literals that unify with a goal, in order to perform resolution. But depth-first search is not part of SLD resolution and depth-first search and SLD resolution are not the same algorithm.

You seem to be reformulating your assertion. In the last comment you say that "default Prolog SLD resolution is depth-first". That reformulation also doesn't make sense. The search used by Prolog is depth-first search. But SLD resolution is not "depth-first". There is no context in which "depth-first" makes sense outside of depth-first search and there is no context in which SLD resolution can be said to be "depth-first". That's regardless of implementation.

>> General resolution (SLD or otherwise) works for some theorem-proving, but not for running general Prolog programs.

I'm sorry, I don't understand this. If I understand correctly, "general" resolution refers to resolution for arbitrary clauses? SLD resolution operates on definite clauses and is sound and refutation complete for definite logic programs. SLDNF resolution is also sound for normal programs. So, yes, resolution "works" for running general Prolog programs.
Joe Biden too. “He was ‘giving back to the community’” if you sent him money. They tailored the messages pretty well, I have to say.

Is Twitter really using GitHub internally (even self-hosted)?

It feels like Shadowrun was ahead of its time.
Everytime Tesla is mentioned here the deluge of hate is overwhelming. I genuinely don't understand it. Here comes a company that is actually doing something fundamentally transformative and good for the planet and its inhabitants instead just another in the countless line of garbage apps that at best are a solution looking for a problem and at worst actively contributing to the destruction of our species (Facebook). Seperate the man from the accomplishments.
What exactly is Facebook's "mission"? Would I be screened in if I firmly believed in invading people's privacies?
...no, you aren't going to get access to all these high profile accounts at the same time with sms porting. This is almost definitely internal.
yeah and then the SEC freeze your account and you go to jail and get $0
It may be that the github outage is related. Too many companies rely on 3rd party hosted services for their deployment workflow. Even ones you really would not expect.
An egregious example at that.
In this case you could just create a separate wallet and send BTC through it. Sounds like Poloniex does its job better than your own wallet here.

Interestingly enough, there were sail-powered cargo ships well into the 20th century[1], hauling bulk cargo for cheap. The crews were severely underpaid because some countries still had various licenses that required commercial sailing experience to get.

The boats could sail from Austrailia to England in 3-4 months.

Twitter is seriously out of control.

They should have pulled the plug an hour ago, and that plug pulling should have been automated.

If this were something even more sinister a whole country could have plummeted into chaos, death, destruction.

The C10K Problem
I've seen the groundwork for this over the last 6-8 weeks, with 'people' (questionable-looking accounts) retweeting screenshots of similar-looking tweets purporting to be from Elon Musk, and other similarly fishy accounts going 'wow it really works' or the like. I noticed them showing up consistently in replies to Trump tweets, probably just because they get tons of engagement.
I believe someone twitter admin users account was hacked who maybe has access to tweet anything from anyone's account. Twitter passwords/system is safe IMO.
New York was locally overwhelmed but it is true that they weren’t completely overwhelmed. Maybe a couple centimeters under water.

This is obviously due to the absolutely massive measures they took. They managed to put on the breaks just on time.

Italy was maybe a couple centimeters more under water but also not totally overwhelmed.

But Italy actually had to ban people from going outside (with tight exceptions) to achieve that which is nuts.

If you were testing more and catching it earlier you could get there with much milder measures (e.g. in Germany) and hospitals that came never close to being overwhelmed, as in Germany.

I don’t get you non-sequitur about people in nursing homes. How am I supposed to respond to that? Yeah, that‘s stupid? Because it is?
There are two main reasons we chose to launch with ‘pay what you want’
1. We wanted to to our little bit to help businesses during COVID

2. Drum up interest during launch and make the barrier to posting a job as low as possible initially.

‘Pay what you want me is not a long term pricing strategy. Likely we’ll raise it to $99 in August and test higher prices until we find our sweet spot.
This is nuts, Twitter is totally compromised and they haven’t pulled the plug. Not confidence inspiring.
I just pay it forward. I've written so many bugs.
I'm betting Gemini also blacklisted that BTC address, especially considering that they were in the first wave of fake tweets.

Now I'm wondering how much BTC the attacker effectively left on the table by reusing the same wallet address, especially considering that lots of people who deal in crypto use just a handful of exchanges to send it.
He was an investor of ours, and among the most useful. There was rarely a founder/investor issue he hadn't run into, or knew someone who had. That sort of help is invaluable to founders, especially given his experience and everything he knows about both raising, and building a company. He's really solid.
They could have shut these bitcoin giveaway scams down with a single regex a year ago when they first showed up. They let them go and this is the price they will pay. Let's see if someone is going to sue Twitter because 'verified' to be Bill Gates is meaningless now.
I'm flabbergasted they haven't just hit the panic button and shut everything down.

Unless, perhaps, they can't.

Yes, of course. Take the site down if you don't have a read only mode or something. You are losing millions in trust every minute this hack goes on.
Probably a link to a QAnon mercy store
It's not nearly as simple as just "anti-Islam" or even "Christianity is the norm". It's a meta-religion that bridges multiple sects of Christianity and even more secular Americans who identify with Christianity as solely a philosophy.

The same propaganda machine that labelled Obama "a socialist Muslim Kenyan agent and anti-Christ" also assassinated the character of Bill and Hillary for 30 years (including attributing something like 40 murders to them) and later credited them with the "under age sex trade ring" (queue PizzaGate and the QAnon canon). Then they attacked Obama's birth certificate. The same thing happened with Obama's advisers (eg. Valerie Jarrett).

It's a power play by politically-biased news sources which convince people of conspiracies. The details are irrelevant because the conspiracies that don't gain traction are left behind and the propaganda evolves. The only details that matter are the ones that best apply to Confirmation Bias.

The NYTimes has a podcast called RabbitHole[1] which describes how this works so well on the internet and reverse engineers how a YouTube visitor was radicalized and later rejected his previous radicalization views.

You mean shutdown Twitter? I think that's a bit extreme in this case.
and to think you could have just bought those bitcoin for like $2000 in 2016 without all the work of having to hack

Bill gates and Bezos not showing up on twitter search. Twitter ghosting some of the affected accounts
In the first figure, it gives "int x y;" and says that the new algorithm gives the complete set of minimal cost repair sequences, which is in this case "Delete y", "Insert ,", and "Insert =".

I haven't read the article, so maybe this is covered later, but why isn't "Delete x" included?
What blows my mind is how does Twitter not have a "maintenance" mode -- where no new tweets can be posted and the site is essentially read-only?
Hahaha, and if he's hanging from his seatbelts you're either pulling negative G's or flying upside down ;-)
This has actually not been my experience. I generally agree with your reasoning and have tried to run coding interviews this way, thinking that it is most similar to doing real work. Candidates can use their own computer, their own editor and plugins, whatever framework and language they prefer, can google anything they need, etc.

It causes a surprising number of problems. A lot of candidates come in with their environments just very poorly configured, run into weird dependency errors, mismatched installed versions, no linting or syntax highlighting set up in their editor because they don't actually ever code on their personal computer, etc. It's not uncommon to spend half the interview watching someone debug their dev environment, or struggle to remember the basic syntax of their favorite framework since they aren't working on the same codebase that they're used to.

I've mostly come around again at this point and decided that even if I like this type of interview best in theory, focusing on standalone problems that can be done in coderpad with no dependencies is a more reliable approach.
This doesn't make me feel any better about Bitcoin as a platform/product.
Is there even a self hosted Github?
AFAIK there is no public offering of the sort.
Liable for the account being compromised? Twitter. Liable for people sending money? People sending money.
Given how huge this hack is, and how little the BTC reward is going to be, I'm tempting to think this is either:

- a test of a new hacking system

- a demonstration to a big client

- a first shot to threat some entity

- a diversion while they get the real loot

And that the BTC messages are just a way to justify it so it looks like a simple scam.

Such a hack is worth way, WAY more than the few BTC it could bring.
So how do you actually isolate one chromosome to sequence it?

Do we think scammers also have access to the hacked account’s DMs?
Couldn't market-traded options be rolled back in the event of a hack, though?

I had a project give me a take home exam with a link to the git repo and basic instructions on implementing a simple algorithm, as well as tests, and FFI bindings. That took a couple hours, then I had two 1-hour remote interviews discussing the code. I thought the process was pretty good: even though I was annoyed at having to do the take-home bit, it served to demonstrate that I could navigate the project source code, build files, learn the FFI interface, etc. The algorithm itself was fairly simple to implement with a little thought, although they probably didn't care if I looked up how to solve the problem on Wikipedia. Personally I think that being able to figure out where the tests were, how to add FFI, etc., was one of their biggest requirements.

Anyway, I thought it was robust but not too time-consuming interview process. I think such an interview could use a reasonably-sized open source project for this, instead of their internal code base.
I can explain it, but the most intuitive explanation comes from simply looking at the sats.

https://satellitemap.space/indexA.html

(Try to ignore the closely bunched satellites; those haven't spread out yet.)

They're all in an inclined orbit, with the orbital planes regularly staggered about Earth's axis. So, the simple way to consider this is that the distance between these orbits is greater at the equator than it is near the poles.

An extreme to illustrate the point; if they were all polar orbits, all the orbits would intersect at the poles, providing coverage from all of the planes, whereas each location at the equator might be served by one or two orbital planes.
This is much, much worse than a typical Bitcoin scam.

Control is not a part of EQ. Awareness is. Being able to point to the source of your emotions is key in being able to identify the source of others' as well.

Fear responses are deeper than conscious thought. You can't expect a person to respond calmly to a life changing event like an interview anymore than you can expect them to stay completely calm in a locked coffin.
As someone who refuse myself I simply think it is a waste of my time. It isn't fun, it doesn't teach me anything I find interesting and it isn't a good way of filtering someone.

I would rather be with my girlfriend, play videogames after work hours, watch netflix, go see some friends.

I lost a team member to Amazon recently, he spent 6 months total (two 3 months stints) preparing for the interview. He bombed in the 1st try and passed in the second.

That's 6 months of your life studying after hours to get a job ... I really have better things to do!

He is there now and he says how his work is not as challenging as the one we were doing from a technical PoV and also how the culture is very toxic compared to ours.

Anyways... he is optimizing to retire early so props to him I guess.
About $110k in the address. Honestly not that impressive for a hack of this scale. I wonder what they could have gotten if they reported this for a bug bounty instead.

Or as Matt Levine said, "if I got Elon Musk's twitter password I'd wait until market hours to use it."
like trying to stop a steam roller with a mattress

obv the hackers will likely use multiple addresses
Pretty safe to assume they are all compromised until there is proof to the contrary.
I thought that vulnerability was due to the now-deprecated Tweet by Phone integration and SIM swaps?
> The gas station cashier doesn't make a decision, they follow a policy. No sane business assumes that cashiers think.

That's part of my point -- few places have the time and money to detail policies that account for regulatory edge cases, and the boots on the ground aren't equipped to do so either. Most businesses are trying to focus on the basics, like "can we make payroll" and "are we legally allowed to be open". I expect the majority of businesses have policies that approximate the law in that they either give everyone the benefit of the doubt, or they give nobody the benefit of the doubt. Because every business has a slightly different interpretation and slightly different policy, this further degrades the public's understanding of what is legal/acceptable/reasonable. Inconsistencies like this are going to weaken the public's willingness to cooperate, and erode their belief that it actually matters.

> State regulations are very clear in our state, so if someone wants to sue, go for it. 95% percent of "health concerns" using masks are BS, and protecting our people is more important that worrying about an ADA lawsuit. Usually the people with a problem that leads to a police call flip out and act like an ass on camera, so have fun with the judge.

We're about 9 levels removed from my original comment, so a lot of context is vague by now, but my original point is more of a general statement about compliance rather than the situation inside of a given business. There are certainly some businesses operating with smart and effective management, confidence in their legal standing, a clientele that demands masks being worn, and assertive employees who will enforce policies effectively. But most businesses are missing one or more of those factors, and due to that, I think we'll see the majority of places trend towards spotty compliance in general.
Nice stinky opinion, captain-oh-so-swift-to-judge.
After watching the 36 minute video on Hey, I signed up for a trial and forwarded my email to it.

I already pay for ProtonMail and FastMail, both excellent products. I honestly don’t know how I will feel about Hey after using it for a week or two, but I must say that there are a lot of good ideas.

They are really product and software artists.
For a live design challenge I recommend slowing yourself down and asking for more input from your interviewers. If you appear relaxed and asking for input from others then you will seem more open to both collaboration and constructive criticism. My two cents and good luck.
Is it? They don't appear to know what will be hit next or how to stop it.
The hackers are changing the login information of the hacked accounts too, gonna require a massive amount of cleanup.
My crazy theory: the real attack is on the Twitter stock price and the bitcoin is a distraction.
I think the bigger danger is when it's in the charging case. They're more likely to be tossed in the bottom of a bag or pocket where there will be no ventilation whatsoever. On their own, the airbuds have a much higher ratio of surface area to battery volume, increasing cooling especially when they're in-ear.

Still doesn't seem like a big deal because Apple usually demands the best binned parts for their products and they have weight to throw around. Better quality battery cells are far less likely to have fires due to thermal runaway and Apple power firmware is probably good enough to stop them from reaching that point when charging.

you know a storage facility needs to withstands over thousands years. It's basically impossible to plan for that with our limited living years.
It's not too hyperbolic to say that WW3 could be started on a platform like Twitter. Having a "shutdown" button doesn't seem that extreme when essentially the entire site seems to be compromised. I'd bet my bottom dollar that Congressional hearings are going to happen.
I don’t, they can say anything posing as anyone and the general public will believe it, this is a genuine hazard. Seriously, if I were them I’d pull the plug until this is fixed.
