Very dependent if they have a job already. If they have a job already, references from people inside the company are a very strong signal. If they’re currently unemployed (or a student) the internship is very valuable.

The next challenge is it’s unfair to weight too much on referrals because it punishes people who don’t know insiders. It also fuels a monoculture.
In most practical situations, your initial impression is correct. As a native English speaker, I've never heard seen or heard someone use "average" to refer to a statistical summary other than the mean. If it doesn't refer to the mean, it doesn't mean anything formal/technical at all. I read GP as "median is sort of an average in the broad sense", but this is honestly kind of a stretch.
Yes, it should be. This is how we do it
The POTUS should not communicate via social media IMO. But now he has set up the expectation that what we tweets relates to what he will do.

When they pay out. Some will even fix the bug, and just tell you "thanks, but it wasn't a security bug"

I agree to that as well. When I'm at my PC/laptop, I usually have my iPad at my side, which with the pencil, is ideal for pdf reading and annotation, so I have less complaints there. If I'm travelling or in bed, the phone is often easier.

But yeah, we really need to move on from formats designed for print. HTML/CSS needs more typesetting options and native math support though for that to be feasible, unfortunately. There's no math typesetting conventions for responsive design yet.

Aside: While it's a hack, and only useful if you've a supported e-reader, I've found Koreader does decent reflowings of LaTeX-rendered pdfs these days.
I was surprised to see that most of these are traditional sailing vessels, which as you note are not practical at large scale. With all the advances in competitive sailing technologies (eg solid wing sails), it would be interesting to see how they would translate to making a more efficient sailing vessel for hauling freight.
I have heard that Trump's account has extra protections around it that presumably prevent even staff from accessing it, in which case if this was a staff account compromise it would make sense that they can't touch Trump's account.

Another possibility is that they are indeed just after the money and compromising Trump's account would prompt a faster response from Twitter (possibly taking down the entire account or platform) and reduce the effectiveness of the scam.
Crypto can also become tainted and basically unsellable. It's especially easy to do with bitcoin or ethereum.

Also, unless they have the identity of the hackers, it wouldn't be that hard to make millions without sending any red flag. Tesla has an insanely high option volume, you could get into highly traded positions a few weeks/days before and cash out easily. Unless you really, really make dumb moves it's pretty safe. Much safer than cashing out on a BTC haul.

Some people are hypocrites. But I don’t see all of them that way. I don’t even see this as a left vs. right issue unless you go out of your way to define it that way. For instance, two of the more outspoken opponents of cancel culture, Bret Weinstein and Joe Rogan, both publicly support Bernie Sanders. Alternatively, consider the TERF wars where trans activists try to cancel “trans-exclusionary radical feminists”. Radical feminists are on the right now? One of the signatories of the Harpers letter was Noam Chomsky.

If you go according to how we would have classified these people before the controversy of cancel culture itself, we would have to say that it was between two different factions of the left, with the right piling on later.

If all you see is hypocrisy I don’t disagree with you because people are that way a lot of the time. But maybe it’s because consistently opposing cancel culture seems like a deliberate partisan choice by itself these days. Joe Rogan has guests from the entire political spectrum and interacts with all of them in charity and good faith to the point of borderline naivety. And if you want to see an example the other way around, let me share this: https://reason.com/2018/08/02/sarah-jeong-new-york-times-rac...
Many larger corporations have strict rules on keeping things like their source code in-house, so that means no external services for code reviews or CI, etc.
Here's a blog post I wrote the other day that may help to clarify:

http://jacek.zlydach.pl/blog/2019-07-24-algebraic-effects-yo...

The first part uses an example that you'd probably find not all that convincing (though it's a reworded example from Dan Abramov's post). The second one is not about error handling at all - but instead, shows how you can use non-error conditions to bolt on a pseudo-UI on top of an operation that signals appropriately, using both restarts (to abort the operation) and signal handlers (as sort of observer pattern).

I'd say the magic of CL's condition system is in restarts, and the ability to choose them programmatically. It's a powerful tool in API design, that allows you to cheaply expose out-of-band interface for monitoring and error recovery (and I mean actual recovery).

Suppose you're writing a module that extract data from a bunch of files (possibly accessed over network). In the high-level view, you have two layers there: one that loops over files, and the other that goes over data in a given file and extracts values of interest.

Writing this in Common Lisp, you could define a restart in the loop layer, allowing to retry a download, or substitute a different file URL. Then, in the file processing layer, you could define a restart around reading an invalid value, allowing to skip it or substitute it. These error conditions and restarts are now part of your module API. The users of that module could then choose different strategies for error recovery. In one case, if file access fails, you need to abort everything. In another, you need to skip it. In yet another, the caller knows of a backup data file, and can pass that information to the restart. Similarly, invalid values could be replaced by an appropriate default value, again provided by the caller in the context.
I too think that's how things should work if a take-home is involved, but I haven't experienced this yet. There are times I've gotten past the take-home and then had to do a technical _phone_ interview after - not even an onsite.
I also think the exploit wasn't stopped, they just stopped all verified accounts from tweeting.
Let’s say an internship increases the chance of your getting a good hire from 50% to 75%. In that case 10 weeks will pay for itself.
These are publicly managed Twitter accounts, they probably don't have any DMs of substance.
On my Volt, the dash lights and screen automatically dim when ambient lighting is dim (aka dusk, night, tunnel). You can further dim them by twisting a small knob on the side of the dash. This should be stander operation.

As someone who doesn't smoke, how is it possible to get the smoke into your mouth but not your lungs? Doesn't inhaling the smoke into your mouth involve your lungs expanding to create the negative pressure difference? That seems like it would suck air into the entire respiratory system.
I get all of that, 100%.

I'm also saying they have been building these planes for nearly 50 years. At what point have we finished paying for the infrastructure to build these?

And I'm guessing it's not possible to add one more plane to this order at or near the 1985 price, which speaks to cost inflation beyond one-offs like documentation updates etc.
Perhaps it is a form of proof that they actually have access to the accounts and thus the DMs. Just posting claimed DMs that can be deleted and denied has a lower probability of being believed.
I do think that the people giving the questions and interacting with the applicant should be different from the ones judging their results. This also gives you the opportunity to blind the judging for race, gender, etc. The proctor should be explicitly on the applicant's "side" IMO.
What Twitter is missing: Security
It will take at least a week for the SEC to make an official request. Funds would have settled and you can call up and wire the money away. Never seen it with stocks but have seen in on deposit accounts. One of the biggest issues with online banks is fake accounts that are used as mule accounts to move stolen money. Authentication in the us is weak and based around SSN and credit history which isn’t hard to buy. Want a billion dollar idea, solve that with out using things like sending a verification code in the mail to an address on active account in the person credit history.
right, it's not only compromised API keys, but it could be that with something else.
The topic is the same as the other thread so we merged them. That's standard moderation.

There was already at least one thread about this on the front page when you made this submission. It's good to check before posting, especially on a hot topic.

It's only at 12 bitcoin ($120k) right now. (serious question) why do you think it could be as high as $50 to $100 mm? Is there a way to see the total including unconfirmed transactions?
EDIT: Jeez you downvoters:

"Dr. Sarah Jackson, a senior research fellow at UCL’s Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group, cautioned that the __findings relate only to quitting in the short term__.

“Given that __the rate of long-term success in quitting tends to be low, this is very unlikely to translate to a million fewer smokers in the UK__, which would be a large decline in prevalence,” she said.

"Other data sources are not yet showing evidence of a large drop in smoking prevalence," she said.

Pardon for assuming people actually read more about the study beyond a headline or two. It is based on self-reporting with a relatively small sample size. Literally the study is only indicating a record number of people _trying_ to quit.

"Smokers try to quit..."

FTFY. I know two people that have quit heroin but still smoke despite many attempts to stop. I know people that couldn't quit cigs without antidepressants. All that to underscore that it's a seriously difficult addiction to overcome.

It mystifies me that people quite a bit younger than me smoke considering we've known for a long time that not only is it unhealthy, but it's a terribly money suck, very difficult to stop, cosmetically damaging and borderline antisocial at this point. Ironically most young people I've asked about this started smoking for social reasons in a given environment (school, job) and unfortunately will carry that baggage likely for decades.

> I'd posit that "worldwide hysteria" just isn't a thing that happens.

Well, we have well-understood cases of more localized hysteria, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania.

Worldwide mania is just an extension of that. Since I believe that literally social media / the internet / other aspects of modern technology have allowed the propagation of mind-viruses to a degree never seen before, I truly believe that it is simply a state of mass collective delusion.

> "it was still really obvious to anyone with the capacity for rational thinking that containment/lockdown was a terrible idea" is just absolutely, patently untrue (if taken at face value and not just as a snipe).

Okay, you are right and I let my frustration be visible there, I agree that it is not a fair characterization. More accurately, I feel that people who came down on the pro-lockdown side have the capacity for rational thinking and yet were/are not using that capacity insofar as COVID-19 is concerned.

> I am immediately suspicious of "everyone has gone mad except me" arguments

You should know that I am too. I spent quite some time trying to figure out what obvious thing I was missing.

Well, I think enough evidence is in at this point, if you're willing to look at it. The truth is that otherwise intelligent and knowledgeable people can very easily fall into states of delusion. It's no secret that as humans we are endowed with an incredible set of cognitive distortions, that presumably had adaptive value at one point, but now hamper efforts towards rationality.

If you've ever taken the time to synthesize a body of research into a coherent whole - not necessarily writing an actual paper etc, but just trying to iterate and construct a really good mental model - then you know what an enormous amount of careful thought, effort, and intelligence it requires. It's simply not easy to do, thus I think that the majority of doctors really just regurgitate the things they learned in med school, the majority of scientists do their version of that, the majority of software engineers just make whatever hacky change they need to get their feature out without thinking about the whole system (often because the system is crushingly complex, etc).

So when I look at what our "leaders" and public health officials have done, I see a total failure to take that mentality, a total failure to see what was really there in front of them. And I don't necessarily blame them; it's well known that an environment of sleep deprivation and stress cripples the capacity for cognitive flexibility.

Anyway, to conclude, you are right that my characterization was unfair. I do stand by the notion that they behaved irrationally, but not because of some fundamental lack of ability to be rational, but simply because truly being rational takes an incredible amount of careful attention. (And obviously, none of us, myself included, are truly rational, but what I mean is, are you near that asymptote or are you off in the woods somewhere ranting about how it's too unsafe to open up our schools, etc)
This is an awesome piece of kit. I have one.

I used to have an N900. This is better.

Our community of doers who celebrate freedom by doing are amazing. This is almost, but not quite, the last piece of our autonomous puzzle.

Very soon now we'll have fully distributed jurisdictional priority, and we'll use this kind of tech to measure we're doing it right. We will demonstrate right of appeal to each other.

As far as Athens is concerned, they've also proven to be rather earthquake-proof, which is amazing. I was in a polykatoikia in a northern suburb of Attica myself in 1981 during a severe earthquake and while the floor was all wobbly, the building showed just minor cracks afterwards.

Bad idea for the hacker. Stock ownership is public information.
> A more grammar-specific variation of this idea is to skip input until a pre-determined synchronisation token (e.g. ‘;’ in Java) is reached [8 , p. 3], or to try inserting a single synchronisation token. Such strategies are often unsuccessful, leading to a cascade of spurious syntax errors (see Figure 1 for an example). Programmers quickly learn that only the location of the first error in a file – not the reported repair, nor the location of subsequent errors – can be relied upon to be accurate.

C.java:2: error: ’;’ expected
int x y;
^
C.java:2: error: <identifier> expected
int x y;
^

This is a common problem, but the solution here for the example shown is for the parser not to attempt to recover that statement and ignore everything until it reaches the "synchronization point" (I call them "landmarks"), which sounds like what their were arguing for at first. Doing that would make the AST be marked with a node along the lines of "some int named x with errors", and would completely skip everything between the `x` and the `;`. Because an error has been reported, there will be no output binary, but the second error will not be emitted.

Beyond the parser, the AST needs to keep around a lot of extra information for error recovery that would otherwise not be needed. An example from rustc[1] (what I'm familiar with) is structs and struct variants that have had some parse error. We recover the parse and keep a node for the variant in the AST signaling the existence of a parse error, which means that later passes of the compiler can type and borrow check, but if it finds a use that is either missing or adding fields we do not emit an error for it[2][3] under the assumption that the parse error caused the field being used to not be captured in the AST node for the variant. This can have quite dramatic impact on the quantity of errors being emitted.

I've lived in Canada and the United States, I ran a business there and I have more American friends than European ones. I think I'm perfectly capable of understanding American politics. Likely I know more about your political system and it's idiosyncrasies as well as how the legal system works than a large number of Americans.

Yeah, the idea that this is an initial step in something bigger doesn't make sense.

If they wanted to exfiltrate data, they already did that previously.

They very loudly burned their access, this seems a lot more like someone trying to monetize their access quickly before their access token expires - squeezing out the last few drops before they can no longer get into the system.
Utterly untrue. Clearly you've never lived anywhere dangerous - bars are a necessity.

In all the instances I have personal experience with the buildings are very small. No more than a dozen units and so there isn't usually a big risk of running into anyone. Also, I don't think you can actually ring multiple floors in those elevators. The elevator would need to take you to your unit then go back to the lobby to get the next person.

The building this attack happened in had a total of 7 units.

> Whether it's in Google's interest to select for that of course is debatable.

I'd argue it does not. Computational geometry is a niche. It's not even a niche that's particularly relevant to most of Google's development operations.

In modern software development, knowing the detail of specific algorithms off the top of your head and being able to implement them unaided is, at best, a parlor trick. I doubt very much that it even correlates to one's effectiveness as a developer. Even for development tasks which involve algorithmic work -- which many don't! -- knowing that various algorithms exist, and what they're used for, is much more valuable than having memorized the details of how those algorithms are implemented.
Assessing anxiety is probably illegal since it’s a psychological diagnosis. Just saying, if that’s the goal that’s both messed up and legally questionable.
Who is "asking" and who is "taking" in the scenario you mention? The whole notion of "allowing to incorporate", in terms of basic freedoms that a modern society is supposed to maintain and protect, contradicts with the freedom of peaceful assembly and the freedom of association with others, including the right to form and to join trade unions. This form of right should never require a sanction from a state.

Disclaimer. This is just my personal speculation about the current Twitter situation.

Since this attack was preceded by the hacking of Jack Dorsey's account through a mobile provider vulnerability, my suspicion falls on a large Trump-friendly country, known for their state-sponsored hackers. The motive would be to punish Jack for his anti-Trump stance.

When they gained access to Jack's account these hackers might've found access credentials, like a root password, and decided to quickly capitalize on their find with a simple bitcoin scam, aswell as just generally messing about with the platform.
