Wait a minute how is this even a question? I have interviewed (and taken interviews) during the covid and had kids walk in (both sides). Not only was this totally ok, I actually had the candidates take time off during the interview to take care of their kid and given extra time at the end or even helped with rescheduling or given them the benefit of the doubts.

Yes typically you wouldnt bring your child to your "real-world" interview but if I had parent struggling to find day care during interviews I'd be more than happy to accommodate (as long as it was legally ok etc). We are living in crazy times and to project the illusion that professionally everything is ok is disingenuous and highly unhealthy.

It also wasn’t that long ago the photo-less driver licenses were phased out in some states. My father had one with no photo on it up until 2004. Anyone could renew by mail, in which case there would not be a photo.
Cryptocurrency scams with fake accounts impersonating verified ones have been around for years despite being detectable with a simple regex. There's no reason to believe this disgraceful company actually cares, although after this incident hopefully they will change their mind.
> But as a taxpayer, it's really hard to swallow that these planes cost ~10x as much while every other technology is 100s of times cheaper.

Imagine how much an iPhone would cost if Apple only built 10 of them in a year and at most 2000 would ever be built. And those iPhones can't be shoddy prototypes either, in fact they would need to conform to much higher standards and testing than current mass produced models. You can see that it wouldn't be surprising if each of these hypothetical iPhones cost tens or even hundreds of millions each (especially given Apple's R&D budget).

And unlike most things, Military aircraft have become more expensive because of technology, not less.
I mean it sounds like you have an issue with batch compilers more than "text based languages." If you didn't toss out the AST you'd have to serialize it (now you're compiling to two targets at once), and when you want to recompile you need to parse the serialized AST along with the source code for 90% of the same information.
Well, put it this way: why is Donald Trump listed on Twitter as @realDonaldTrump?

If you don't snatch up your (organization's) name first, someone will surely do so for you.

(Honestly not trying to incite anything by using him as an example; I just hardly use Twitter and he was the first to come to mind.)
Yes, you should be saying exactly that.

Just do it ahead of time instead of on the spot. You're probably emailing back and forth with a recruiter. Send them the exact comment you posted here, and ask that they make sure that your interviewers know about it.

It's amazing how little things can throw you off your game. I had a couple where they handed me a MacBook set up for "traditional" touchpad scrolling (where it works like a scrollbar instead of like a touchscreen).

Every time I tried to scroll it went the wrong direction!

Of course in an interview we aim to please, so I lived with it for a few minutes, but finally asked "Do you mind if I change your touchpad settings?" Of course that led to a brief discussion on the virtues of traditional scrolling.

This was not only precious time wasted, but a minor blow to my self-confidence. Imagine you tried to drive a car or fly an airplane and they had sneakily reversed the steering wheel or yoke and pedals! You would be lucky to survive.

In fact this is why the preflight checklist for a light plane always includes "controls free and correct".

My guess is that a Twitter insider sold access.

I bet the reason Trump didn't get hacked was because he is special-cased in the Twitter system to avoid insider vandalism which protected his account from this insider attack.

I genuinely wouldn't even entertain the idea of a secure system being made hypothetically. If it were possible, there'd be an unbreakable DRM, unpiratable software, anything else that could benefit from completely secure client-side security. I'm aware there's not literally such a thing as provably impossible, but discussion of "There are societal problems outside of the tech" can unintentionally bolster the progressive layperson's idea that the tech problems would be solved "if we just get our experts on it".
When it comes to MrBeast I think this is where the most damage/payout could be achieved because MrBeast is popular for literally giving money away.

Motherboard is reporting some screenshots that apparently show some Twitter admin panel that allowed these hackers to take control. Assuming this panel has that kind of power, they potentially could see all DMs as well. However, why expose yourself if you can get in and out of these accounts and collect the info. I'm not sure I buy the diversion explanation.
And I too am sorry that you suffered thru whatever your government put you thru, I mean that sincerely. Just so we are clear, and for the record I was not painting all of the left with the same brush, just Communism. I have no issue with Democratic Socialism, should the people choose it, though I am completely fine with the traditional capitalism, we had before Kennedy was assassinated and we started the slide towards fascism.

Communism and Democratic Socialism are different beasts but that is also where the danger lies, many communist see socialism as the palatable step to their end goal. It's not a red-scare, history is littered with the dead proof and human wreckage of the failings of communism. You would be hard pressed to convince me to give communism no matter how it is dressed up a try again, there are just too many failings and bodies along the way, many of which I have seen with my own eyes, to risk "getting it right, this time".

Let's say a typical call is about 5000 moves. So that would mean about 625 of your small vessels. It won't take 5 minutes to load the containers, because the discharge containers need to be unlashed and the load units need to be lashed (which you can't do during operations). It'll be more like 30 minutes to discharge, load and get the next boat alongside (in the best case). You could shift the boat along the quay for lashing (or shift the crane, but that takes the same amount of time)and get the next boat working. Even then the productivity will be at least half of what a typical terminal can do. The overhead per boat is simply to high.

That's not even taking into account the seaworthiness of these small vessels or the logistics of getting all these boats in and out of port without congestion.

I am not from the US, so Trump does not really affect my directly that much and yet, when he got elected, I donated to the ACLU, I have been in numerous heated arguments about why I think he's cancerous to society and I would vote for Biden and would have voted for Hillary if I was American. Similarly, I've cut off contact with an uncle after it became clear he was supporting the homophobic backlash in Poland, I have unfriended people over non-stop blaming refugees for everything, I am in deep horror of gays being rounded up and killed in Chechnya and Uyghurs being interned in China, and so on.

And yet, I am at the same time still perfectly capable to lament a deterioration of political discourse not only on the right, but on the left as well.

You seem to assume that because people criticise "cancel culture", they think racism or sexual violence or homophobia are not also bad, and yes, also worse and more dangerous. But that is nothing more than a strawman. I've been strawmanned like this before and I find it just really tiring.

I think Trump is worse than even the worst excesses of cancel culture. But that doesn't mean I can't still worry about the latter. And crucially, I do also believe that "cancel culture" only serves to drive more moderate right-wingers further and further into the fold of the far right. In some respects, I think Trump is a monster of the left's own creation.

Luckily, where I live, politics is not yet as polarised as I perceive the US to be. But it's changing, I feel, and I partially blame US cultural influence for it.
My kid (6 yo) does fine without the video streaming. It's also good because it teaches her to practice writing. But she goes on rants on why people don't know how to spell "your" and "please".

We have to carefully monitor her screen time because online socializing is very addictive, especially for children. They can spend morning until midnight on their phones if you let them. On the plus side, it's a good way to train discipline - they can look at their phones after homework, a shower, cleaning the dishes, and only until 10 PM. Just sneak a new chore in there every month once they do the previous chores automatically.
is that how you really think?

stop using surveillance coins to begin with and just use Monero natively instead of as a conduit

In the mean time pollute the pool by doing more lawful transactions in monero, monero is half as old as bitcoin and has only been used on darknet markets for half of that due to its older user experience challenges

Just swap to the more fungible asset. Its a flight to liquidity the market always chooses that.

I don't know... I've seen a lot of forums that just put a login form in /admin and I just kind of assumed a site like Twitter would use a VPN or ssh or a custom app with its own secret sauce protocol or something... better than I could have whipped up in my PHP monkey days.
Depends on what you mean by “bad.” Fails to meet requirements and add business value? Or fails to meet up to some standard of code quality?

Well-crafted code from skilled programmers can fail to add value, or even increase costs. Amateurs can cobble together a VB app or spreadsheet macro that saves thousands or increases sales.

I’ll assume you mean to refer to code quality since you mentioned “bloated” and “unreliable.” Language and tools have very little to do with code quality. Other factors, like team cohesion and conceptual integrity, usually prove more important on non-trivial development projects.
Leaving aside a lot of potential issues, I'm not sure how you envision how a boat this size is meant to scale to the size where it replaces modern container freight operations (many of which will be substantially automated themselves.)

> i, j, and k are ... bivector rotation operators

Well, that’s like calling the imaginary unit “a rotation operator.” (I mean, sure, you can do things like that with abstract algebraic constructs, marvel for a few moments, but then you move on, searching for the true meaning - which never happens to lie with any particular representation or an application.)
These hackers are clearly amateurs. If you're going to post crypto scams on hijacked Twitter accounts you can't NOT include John McAfee's account. Seriously.
Imagine you have a bunch of aerial photographs that you're trying to assemble into one big mosaic of the entire region by matching up the overlaps on the edges. The problem is, this is a desert, and significant portions of the region are just flat expanses of empty sand, so all the aerial photographs from those regions look pretty much identical. Even worse, there's several of these flat sandy regions in the area, so you don't even know which region those photos came from.

So despite having taken multiple photos of every square inch of land in your target area, there's no way you can assemble them into one big image just by matching up the overlaps. Without a source of larger-scale information about the region, like a satellite photograph or GPS coordinates for the photos, you have no way of knowing how wide that desert is. All you know is that it's wider than one or two photographs.

This is essentially same problem that current genome assemblies have: there are regions of repetitive sequence in the genome, so all the sequencing reads from those regions look identical to each other, just like the photographs of flat sandy desert, and there's no way to tell how they're supposed to overlap to form the full sequence. The only way to resolve these regions is with a technology that can read all the way through from one end to the other without stopping, producing a single contiguous sequence.

The link here describes the fruits of an effort using exactly those sorts of long-read technologies to fill in all the gaps in the X chromosome sequence, thus generating a single contiguous sequence from end to end, something that hasn't previously been possible for DNA sequences of this size.

As to why this is important, these repetitive sequences, despite being apparently featureless, still sometimes have important effects (not unlike the apparently dead and featureless desert in the analogy). In addition, sometimes there are "oases" of functionally important non-repetitive DNA sequence within the "desert" of repetition, and previous genome assembly methods would not be able to tell where these oases belonged. All of this is important because many functional DNA elements are cis-acting. That is, they exert effects on genes that are nearby on the genome. So if you don't know where they belong, then you don't know what they're doing.

If you can assemble one big chromosome sequence from end to end, all of the above problems go away, and you can finally get on with the analysis you wanted to do anyway and stop worrying about not being able to calculate meaningful distances between DNA elements.
Unfortunately, nobody has cracked up the problem of how to do credentials without creating a conflict of interest in favor of one of the parties (ok, maybe only in favor of the candidate). Or at least, nobody has created a way to communicate that lack of conflict of interest widely.
I'd wager the list of folks who:
-hold a meaningful enough short position for a potential attack to be worth, say $500k or more (not a rando robinhood trader with a $200 put)
-are not an existing bank or long term day trader

is already quite small, and could be quickly prioritized based on how anomalous the trade was, other flags (foreign national, software engineering babckground). I suspect the SEC could get to a workable list of 50 prime suspects reasonably easily.

This is one of the ways the media (and politicians) lie. They use words that are technically correct if you squint, but severely misleading.

This is only partially true. A larger radiator needs a faster/larger pump, leading to more pump noise.

Interestingly most air cooling solutions are really pump-less liquid cooling, as the liquid in the heat pipes is what transfers most of the heat away from the cpu.
