1. We are born with the ability to gesture, and not something that is learned directly. So it is a in-born trait. You get the ability of speech, and gesturing tags along. (but most likely, evolutionary speaking, gesturing came first).

2. Gesturing is linked to speech/language. Different languages will have different gestures, not because they learned them, but by the grammatical structure/intonation of the language.

It will have been interesting to see multi-lingual people, and see if the level of gesturing changes when they switch language.

"The results showed that blind Turkish speakers gesture like their sighted counterparts, and the same for English speakers. All Turkish speakers gestured significantly differently from all English speakers, regardless of sightedness. This means that these particular gestural patterns are something that’s deeply linked to the grammatical properties of a language, and not something that we learn from looking at other speakers."
That’s a scenario I find much less likely than the hundreds of Trump tweets that would set off domestic violence within minutes.

If Trump would tweet what the fringe communities want to hear (example: Trump tweets that state law enforcement have started rounding up people with Hawaii shirts and confiscating their weapons and should be seen as enemy combatants and engaged on sight. That would turn ugly very quickly).

A well crafted tweet about e.g the Taliban could easily put US soldiers abroad in harms way immediately too.

They are blocking tweets with that address now. I'm guessing that they still have no idea what the root cause is.

it if seems small it probably because twitter has been under constant attack by crypto giveaway scammers since early 2018. the pool of potential victims has shrunk
It make no sense, the market was closed by the time of the attack. And they have started with bitcoin exchanges, not with the high profile accounts.

I've seen plenty of code bases become less reliable over time. I once took over a project that had been going on for 10+ years. Reliability was terrible. The first thing I did was stop all changes, and only allow critical blockers to be fixed. That eventually made it stable enough to be useful.

Reliability takes more that time. It takes competence and attention to detail.
water cooling isn't really that much more efficient than giant air coolers.

at the end of the day, dissipating heat is a function of the radiator fin area and air movement, the water is just a working fluid to move the heat to the radiator fins. Apart from having more thermal mass (takes longer to heat up/cool down) it isn't inherently more efficient than a heatpipe. It's water moving the heat either way, and in some ways the heatpipe is actually more efficient (evaporation moves more heat than raising the temperature of the water a few degrees).

People don't realize it, but a D15 (dual tower cooler, a bit bigger than your U12S) is about on par with a 240mm or 280mm AIO. A 120mm or 140mm AIO is worse than your U12S.

Yes, but real-life situations are rarely as high stakes as interviews, on the individual level.

Sure - you can find yourself in very stressful situations at work, but I have never in my life been in a situation where you're given 45 mins (or hours, for that mater) to solve some problem, or you get fired.

Simply but, there's an incredible discrepancy between the stakes at play, between interviews and work.

To put it a bit more extreme - but to hammer down the point: Imagine working on some problem, with no help whatsoever, and that in front of you, there's some guy pointing a gun against you.

Just imagine how stressful that must be, and how much of your focus is distracted on reading that guy.

Same goes for interviews. For a lot of candidates, that interview is their way out of poverty or lower-class living. And the judge and executioner of your future, is sitting in the same room as you. It's a very stressful situation - probably one of the most stressful situations in your life.
and yet lots of technical type Twitter personalities tweeting like each individual user got popped. "OMG THEY GOT MR BEAST!" No, they got twitter. I mean its possible, we do not know, but this "They GOT so and so" thing is annoying at this point.

We live in an age where men can AND do become fathers without a female partner. Both through adoption and through surrogacy. Given that, it would be a disservice to such men who deeply desire to be fathers.

So Twitter is the real-life Jita local chat? Does this also mean BTC is as meaningless as ISK, that people are willing to gamble it on a doubling scam?
One lesson from Snowden's leaks is that the US is engaging in surveillance on supposed allies - not just enemies. This includes intercepting and modifying network equipment during delivery (Tailored Access Operations), and intercepting internal government communications of allies during trade negotiations. The consequences of the latter are quite significant, since knowing the other side's strategy and bottom line gives the US a serious leg up in negotiations.
To be honest I can't recall any AMD CPUs that weren't soldered... apart from those that didn't have an IHS in the first place ;)

It's been at least 3 years and they still haven't made a fix for the spam comments until Elon Musk's tweets for crypto scam from user account names of "Elon_Musk" or others. This should be such an easy way to block. Don't even allow new user accounts with "Elon" and "Musk" in it unless verified. I have been seeing this for over 3 years and no fix.
Even when there is no source of power?
I don't think your first statement is actually true. Historically, the US has found that companies that act in a way to favor themselves over competitors is a problem. Microsoft bundling its own web browser at the expense of Netscape, to name one semi-relevant example.

So Spotify claims that Apple favors Apple Music over Spotify in an anti-competitive way, and that they control 100% of "the iOS market," making such favor relevant.

Apple's argument will be basically the one you make: "our playground, our rules," and that they have made APIs available for Spotify to do all of the things Apple Music does. Which is true, but only very, very, very recently. Apple hopes that will reduce Spotify's argument to a monetary squabble over the 30/15% share. And that might work.

But it's not nothing, and it's entirely possible for a company to exercise in anti-competitive behavior in their own marketplace, running afoul of anti-trust laws.
I'm pretty sure most of the still incoming tweets with that address are copycats/trolls at this point.

this is motivated by profit. nothing political. potus being hacked would escalate to national security threat and possibly force twitter to shutdown by decree. which the hacker is smart enough to know not to tread
Those companies only exist at this enormous scale because of the societies (I.e. nation-states) that grew them. They rely on literal tons of state infrastructure and decades-worth of long-term state programs/planning that foster their growth, and that of the customers who buy their stuff.
That's a privilege reserved for Tesla if you complain about them publicly, or if you do something they don't like, so they can tell the press that you "were warned about hands on the steering wheel", even if that happened 14 minutes before the accident that happened.

Or if you find references to new models or features, so they can lock you out of the car's firmware, after downgrading it, and disable diagnostic ports.
I really didn't imagine a purely financially motivated hack could be turned into politics. I guess I underestimate the levels of innovation.

What is your own overall view of the Khmer Rouge, and ditto Mao? And have your views changed over time?

Let me say where I am coming from here. The Khemer Rouge and Mao had in common certain ideas. They were for socialism, and they were for achieving it through violent revolution. They believed in the Leninist ideas of vanguardism and party centralization. And they believed that it was possible to take a preindustrial country directly to industrialization and then anarchistic socialism without first having to go through a liberal, capitalist phase.

I think these ideas are mistaken, and whenever they have been tried the result has been a horror. And it is for that reason the Pol Pot and Maoist regimes were so brutal. So my question to you is, what do you think of these ideas?
You aren't wrong. If Trump suddenly tweeted that QAnon followers should murder as many leftists as they can and that he'd personally commute their sentences, I think we'd see at least a few people respond by doing what they are told.

The extremists types need to be controlled both online and in real world: the same way as you kick out THAT guy from a party who is trying to convince everybody for the 25th time that the earth is flat, the online platform would have to do the same. I had a few warnings on HN for the way some of my post were written and while initially not quite satisfied about it, I did reflect on it and it made me realise that these rules do make HN better.

2. is the biggest thing for me. Exactly the same experience. I would be happy with take-homes if companies actually trusted them. The biggest reason I'm willing to do them is to avoid the whiteboarding.

Of course from their perspective I could be getting someone else to do it for me or something. Or maybe the take-home leaked (which becomes more probable as the company grows).
Exactly. Coal is not replacing anything. That would imply a growing amount of coal plants. The opposite is true in even the most pro coal markets (like the US).

France still has a lot of nuclear plants left (and of course hardly any coal at all). The one discussed in the article was the smallest one in any case according to this overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Fran....

Interestingly, this overview excludes solar and wind. Especially solar would be popular in the sense that there are loads of small domestic deployments and comparatively small plants that collectively add up to a lot of production with more coming online all the time. Most of the country gets a decent amount of sun throughout the year and like pretty much anywhere else, the French have been deploying loads of solar panels on their roofs. Also they've been growing their wind deployment in the order of about 1GW/year in recent years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_France

Basically, what the article conveniently also overlooks is that France actually exports more energy than it imports: it produces more than it consumes. The numbers in this article are a bit out of date but paint a clear picture of imports decreasing year over year until 2015 and actually being smaller than exports in any case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_France. I did not find any more recent number but I have no reason to assume that this trend turned around in the last 6 years (the opposite actually).

Mostly imports and exports are driven by capacity and energy cost. Nuclear is not exactly known to be cheap, so exporting over capacity with tiny margins (or at a loss) in a market increasingly dominated by new, clean, cheap energy sources is less attractive than shutting down what was probably a plant with a comparatively high operational overhead. I'm guessing more plants will follow in the next years for exactly the same reason.
I agree, which is why I said it's not the best filter, but I think it's good enough that companies are happy with the people they hire.

A bitcoin scam, in the grand scheme of things, is on the more harmless end of the spectrum of what they could do with this. They absolutely should shut it down while they work this out.
Pretty sure this is trivial. Buy someone’s identity on the dark web to pass an online brokerages KYC then wire money in from an international bank. I say this as person who worked at a fintech. KYC checks aren’t the most robust and you can brute force the knowledge based authentication if you have enough people’s information.

Promoting, praising, or otherwise endorsing the kind of reaction you state is inexcusable in IT Operations. Your unstated assumptions-by-framing are:

1) A single person is responsible for the flaw.

2) A single person is either already under performance review or committed gross neglect of duties.

3) The above single person will be terminated rather than retrained.

If this is how you would speak about your own employees during a security incident, your business deserves to fail.

If this is how you expect to be treated by your employer during a security incident, you should seek employment elsewhere.
> He has fired people over twitter [0]

All we have here is an announcement. Seriously doubt this was the "official" firing, hiring or promoting of anyone. The statement in the article isn't even from Tillerson, so we don't really know.

> Other nations are not going to read the US law first before deciding if the declaration was or not real

There's a lot more formality to declaring war, for any nation. Not to mention the lack of anything else to support such a statement, like an actual press conference or public statements, media attention or, you know, actual military movement which all capable nations track constantly.
The logic of the page containing the graphic is this:

1. "Whiteness and white racialized identity refer to the way that white people, their customs, culture, and beliefs operate as the standard..."

2. "Whiteness (and its accepted normality)... communicate hostile, derogatory, or harmful messages." [ed. because whiteness causes microagressions.]

3. "Racism is perpetuated by deeming whiteness as superior and other racial and ethnic groups as inferior."

4. "White supremacy is an ideology where white people are believed to be superior to nonwhite people."

5. "[I]nternalized racism, [] happens when an oppressed group believes the racial views that society communicates are true, and they act as if they were true."

So, if the graphic isn't clearly critical, the page is. If you hold the "white" ideas in the graphic as "superior," that is to hold "whiteness" superior. Holding whiteness superior is the definition of "white supremacy." If you hold these "whiteness" views as a minority, it is because you have internalized racism -- the "whiteness" has colonized your mind.

Families. Science. Christianity. Hard Work. Democracy. If you think any of these are superior, it's "white supremacy." If it's not properly nuanced, this is how it's being churned out for the masses.
Haha damned Poe's law. Btw Biden just announced a joint plan with Bernie
The fundamental difference is that a job is directly at stake based on your performance. For many people, this makes them more nervous than they would ever generally be during work. Due to the nature of interviews, I don't think there's really a way for it to be otherwise.
Totally agree, backend - Musk's tweets being deleted and popping up again before our eyes was a dead giveaway.

It could be SQL injection writing tweets directly to the database for all we know.

I have started one, and indeed wrote a post awhile back on COVID-19 specifically which I'm proud to report got censored on Facebook (I never posted it to Facebook to be clear, other people did before FB put a stop to it and globally banned my domain).

I've wanted to go back and update it, but lost motivation to do so when the BLM protests/riots started. I always cynically had thought that people didn't really care about COVID, but even I wasn't expecting such a shocking example of exactly how much of a farce this whole thing was ("we have to shut down California, look at these photos of normal beach crowds!" versus "here's 40,000 people massed together for a black trans lives matter rally, let's just pretend that we didn't claim all mass gatherings/protests were evil last week").

I did my original post using Ferguson's model as an upper bound, at the time thinking that the real numbers of the "let the disease run rampant" scenario would be much better. Well, now tying in these t-cell findings, the findings that blood type seems to impact transmission, and heterogenous susceptibility more generally, there's a lot of updating to do to make it even more clear how ridiculous the whole policy was.

I also have other research interests on things like moist wound healing that I've been considering doing a quick writeup on, since there's a lot of important info that people just aren't taught (myself included, before doing research).

Happy to send a link to you via e-mail, so that way I'm only de-anonymizing myself to individuals and not more broadly.

Alternative take, it could be a distraction while they short various stocks. Obviously 12 BTC/100K isn't worth hacking Twitter. Perhaps if everyone is watching the Bitcoin address, they may miss the real heist.
They just disabled tweeting from verified accounts. Right now I have more power than Elon.
Yeah, I'm not sure there is much to be gained from leaking internal data (are DMs that valuable?). The actual scam is executed so poorly that it can't be the main goal too. "Prooving" you have a good exploit by throwing it away is also not plausible.
