I don't think they were looking for the right answer; I think the goal of that type of questions is to see how does the candidate approaches it. It's especially valuable with college hires.

Some candidates will simply freeze if they don't know the answer. Some will try to estimate the dimensions and come up with an estimate. I think Google wanted to try to anticipate what a person would do when stuck by asking these types of questions.
What other drugs are you referring to? Other types of antidepressants or acid.
Wow, the author went pretty deep on this. I was expecting something like, “Bohler wins because M390 is best hurr dee hurr.” That’s the typical fare on knife forums at least (but substitute whichever super steel is your current favorite). But this piece really earns the “knife steel nerd” name and has a pretty solid history and covers a lot of technological developments over the years.
Yeah, exactly. TSMC has the premier process right now and is at capacity making chips for Apple, Qualcomm and other high margin (i.e. well-paying) customers. Cutting off the oddball folks for PR reasons costs them nothing at the moment.

It's pretty undeniable to argue that Tesla has more production issues than just about every other automaker on the planet. Elon's idea to increase Model 3 production, by... making things in a tent? has posed some pretty obviously predictable quality issues.
You think they could convict on "We looked at a thousand accounts and his was the most suspicious?"

If you don't leave evidence for a targeted inspection against you, it wouldn't help them to be able to narrow it down to "you probably did it" if they couldn't clear the "reasonable doubt" hurdle.
You should do this in general public situations where possible too: Got great service at a restaurant or store? Ask to talk to their manager. When their manager comes over, complement the person who was awesome!

My wife does this regularly and it's always amazing to see people's faces drop at the first manager request, then shine when they realize what's going on :)
This is something I’ve struggled with over the years, ever since I started as an engineer. I want the problem solved and when it’s solved we move on to the next one. No chit chat, no feelings, just get the work done. It really helped that at the beginning of my career I was on a brand new team and we were defining how to solve these problems. There was no one more senior or more knowledgeable to ask.

As I became more senior and had junior employees working alongside me, I could see how quickly they would get frustrated when they couldn’t perform at my level. They’d be stuck for days until they ask me for help, and I’d solve the problem in 5 minutes and for a couple of our new guys, that crushed them. Absolutely destroyed their morale.

So I read a few books on emotional intelligence and social interactions and started explicitly saying when someone was doing something right, or calling out where they did their job well while fixing the place where they made a mistake. When someone helps me, I now say “thank you, I appreciate your help”.

It’s night and day. Junior employees wanted to work with me before I did that because they want to learn from me, but now they actually like working with me. I don’t heap on praise and I don’t give praise when it’s not deserved, but when someone legitimately does something right or helps me (no matter how small), I actively tell them with words that I appreciate their help and that they did good work.

It’s the absolute least I can do but it makes a world of difference for people just starting out when a senior staff member compliments their work.
Probably not the intent, but the consequence of the twitter hack was actually a benevolent psyop to remind all world leaders to not take any given tweet too seriously. White hat of the decade. Unironically might have done more for world peace than anyone in 2020.

> an easy well to sell pharmaceuticals.

It's easy to forget that modern generic SSRIs are dirt cheap.

$4-5/month is typical. These compounds are trivial to produce. Many pharmacies don't even operate as money makers. They just want you to pick up groceries while you're in the store.

Picking up a couple of apples while you wait for a prescription to be filled might cost more than the medicine itself.

It's true that there are more expensive on-patent medications available, but it's reasonable (and encouraged) to start with the cheap generics first.
> So treating people as agents with goals, desires, personalities, experiences and histories and traumas, and drawing on our hard wired abilities for empathy, can be a far more useful model for actually helping and healing people than just giving them a pill.

But that's not a dichotomy. Nobody is saying to either disregard biochemistry and believe that God gave us free will by some magical act or just throw random pills at people.

You can see people as all that and still not reject the idea that chemical imbalances can negatively influence their goals, desires and personalities, and that chemicals can also positively influence them,

They did not apply social engineering to a random set of Twitter employees. Simply identifying this select subset of employees indicates sophistication.
The Spyderco is "just a knife" but the Victorinox is more of a multitool. Yes, the multitool has blades, but they're typically thin and don't lock back. Basically the Spyderco is excellent at many cutting tasks, and a Swiss Army Knife is rarely the best tool but might be the only one you have available for a wide variety of tasks. Choose the right tool for the job.

The point is that many statistics are worse than 'damned lies' because they are made-up to prove a point. It's like a tobacco company paying for research that shows nicotine is not addictive in 66% of people tested. I just made that up as an example. It's not true.

So before you can have any faith in stats, you have to know the source and how the research was funded and by whom (this is before we even begin to talk about methodology flaws). If you do not know that then you cannot trust the stats at all. They are indeed worse than damned lies.
I think your approach is pretty optimal, but at larger companies the candidates might be interviewing for the company as a whole and not for a specific team.
I will provide a clarifying example:

Imagine a person in Portugal has a 1000€ salary, and the state takes 40%, the person has 600€ to live.

A person in Germany gains 3000€, the state takes 60%, the person has 1200€, double the Portuguese.

Cost of living in Germany is higher, but not twice that much. And the cost of living already factors in some taxes, such as VAT, so it's not an apples-to-apples comparison.
I noticed the changed logo and favicon today. I’m not fond of it yet: I find the discontinuity in the middle of the Z crossstroke surprisingly disconcerting. At large sizes it might work out OK (though I’m not convinced, it’s still feeling unbalanced somehow), but at small sizes it really doesn’t work.

Furthermore, they’ve changed the style of the “number of unread messages” badge on the favicon so that it’s bigger and less… neat, is probably the right word, having gone for the “write the number in a normal sort of a font on a semitransparent white background and sit that atop the original favicon” rather than writing the number in what’s essentially a small bitmap font without needing the semitransparent white bit; and given that style, it looks quite terrible on a dark background, which my tab bar is. It ends up looking like the icon is just a number on some indistinct mess, with no real substance of the logo left visible, where before it was a clearly-visible small number on a clear and distinct Zulip logo. It’s unfortunately fundamentally impossible to pull off the style they’ve changed to—you must know whether it’s going to be matted against a dark or light colour for it to work, and the web doesn’t give you that. (I really wish it did. Sure, there are a couple of workarounds like using the (prefers-color-scheme: dark) media query to guess that the tab bar is probably dark, and that if that doesn’t match it’s probably light, but that’s still wildly inaccurate and insufficient. It’s a big enough deal that I’d like browser manufacturers to come up with something.)

In all this I do say that I’m not fond of it yet. It’ll doubtless feel more acceptable after a few days. But comparing my reasons for disliking it with other occasions when I’ve not liked change (either at first or forever), I don’t think it’s going to grow on me as much as many do.
Can't you just make a single "general" room and talk in there? Have you ever used Zulip? Your objection puzzles me a bit because I can't see how it's a problem, since your use case is trivially supported.

I would've gone with libgphoto2, too, if the Mac didn't already have all this half-baked PTP infrastructure in place, and if libgphoto2 would've been easier to integrate into the CoreMediaIO pipeline.
Depends on the size of the organization. It is important for management to be aware of the achievements, and sometimes a CEO also has that role. Knowing who knows what and who did what is important regardless of your position, but especially in a management position.
That seems plausible, but do you have any information showing that’s the case? I never thought I’d be so interested in either TP or consumer supply chains until this happened, lol.
Not yet. That falls under the "underspecified, but there is active work ongoing" bit. There's a lot there.

As Matt Levine (who's twitter account is referenced in the article) says though, short-dated out-of-the-money call options are a good way to get the attention of the SEC.

In general though I agree with you - I think a person absolutely could make more than $100k on the market with not a lot of capital and get away with it.

Of course, "not a lot of capital" is still more than no capital.

Could that problem be solved by changing the price at different times, rather than for different people in the same time interval? I wonder if that's why Amazon is making 2.5m price changes a day like the OP says above.
I liked the analogy. The reason Jewel's moronic book existed was not because she had an exceptional cultural contribution to make, but merely because there existed a machine that could put books on the rack at Barnes & Noble, and she was in the machine. The blue checks are the same way: they have the followers because they have the blue check, not because anything they tweet was worth reading.
Even so, I think that there's enough random idiots making random trades on the market that you could get away with it. You could anonymously post something that sounds vaguely credible on reddit's WSB board and use that as your justification if the SEC asks. If you do a good job, you've just convinced 100 people to be your patsies (and made them a handsome sum in the meantime)
So what you're saying is, that as long as there are other places in the world, outside of Europe, that still have a regulatory/financial/mentality/etc framework where new large software corporations can appear and flourish (and then open offices in Europe), then it's all good for Europe. If so, doesn't that seem a bit hypocritical? To have tighter privacy regulations locally but then be happy to accept business/jobs from companies that exist _because_ of no such regulations in other places (or at the time they were established)?

The way to interpret that statement IMO is that D is a good alternative to using a scripting language. I use it that way all the time - it's almost completely replaced Ruby, which was my previous scripting language of choice.
I don't have one, but they are pretty different in terms of value proposition, a Victorinox is barely a knife (most are non-locking, which makes them only suited for opening letters), but has some extra tools tucked in that might come in handy, or not. As you pay more for folding knives you get better steel (for holding an edge), locking (for not cutting your fingers off), ergonomics in the handle. There are certainly diminishing returns, and past a point you're mostly paying for fancy materials in the scales of the handle, and a designer's signature. There are lots of cheap and cheerful Chinese-made knives that are still a lot sturdier that a Victorinox, though.

Positive feedback can be a good way to reinforce behaviors in your team mates that you want to see more of. For example, you wish that people on the team tested their changes thoroughly before opening a PR.

If you mention that, you will be seen as whiny and a complainer. But if you praise someone who does it, well now you're being positive. Both things have the same effect, in that they communicate that you want people to do more of a certain behavior ... but they are perceived differently by others in the group.

It has the same effect the other way. If you generally provide positive feedback for good work and someone does mediocre work. Your lack of feedback is noticed, without you actually sticking your neck out and saying anything negative.
Fair. But, then, what are you talking about? What do you propose should be done?
That seems like a "no". Anyone can get access to those things as they are freely downloaded. Access may get restricted but they can keep an old copy indefinitely, and the internet is fairly useful for getting around arbitrary blockages.

I understand you now but would you have been as satisfied if the ruling had gone the other way? On the basis of a clear legal ruling of course.
It probably can't. Why pay a journalist to do deep investigation if you get just as many page views for copypasting Twitter?
I don't think the problem is with trolls and spammers necessarily, I think the problem is with scaling the community out. 4chan is the best example of this: the less populated, hobby-based boards are wonderfully useful resources and generally of much higher quality than similar communities on Reddit. Reddit is just too big and the clout-chasing inevitably infects smaller subs.

The larger 4chan communities like /b/ and /pol/, on the other hand, are irredeemable cesspits compared to Reddit's default subs.
You are underestimating the level of ease/convenience and overestimating the simplicity of managing "your own media".

For example, think about your Town-Name House of Pizza. It really is a lot to ask for that operation to also include a sys admin and in-house hardware on top of everything else.

To clarify, do shoji screens allow a current to form? In Athens, homes that have balconies or windows on opposing sides, so that opening them creates a (stronger) draught, are highly valued (also partly because they are brighter because they let more light in). I haven't lived in a house with shoji, but I would think that the paper stops a draught forming?

I agree that it sounds like an elegant solution, regardless. I'm just concerned it would be difficult to convince 7 million Athenians to adopt it :)

There's also the issue of noise, of course. Especially relevant for people living close to main thoroughfares, which is very common in Athens, a city of many main thoroughfares.

Do you actually think we are one tweet away from a civil war?
What it really comes down to is determining if we are doing the Cold War thing or not.

To many of us, the cold war is over, and the other 300 years of rolling the nation state concept across the world is over too. As it is very easy to operate in a borderless global economy - at least between major economic unions - if you are privileged enough.

If you absolutely need people to pick a side again, just say so. Otherwise you need to realize that its all in your head, not everyone is looking at the world the same way, both/all major countries are very similar and this will always be a "trigger" for you when people point it out.

But if this is really so irreconcilable and necessary for people to pick a side because we're doing the cold war thing again, then you need to say so. Americans will pick America if thats what its coming down to. But just assuming we are in that state and that everyone else is assuming the same thing, thats just going to go nowhere.
That wouldn't work because it is already valid Lua code with a different meaning. Lua parses it as a declaration of a local variable called f followed by an assignment to a variable named close:

local f
close = io.open("foo.txt")

Despite the lack of semicolons, Lua is a free-form language and newlines are treated the same as any other whitespace character.

So... the science of diet isn't nearly as well understood as you're presenting. It's like "back pain" -- everyone tends to suffer in some way from it, so everyone relates to statements like yours and wants to believe in a simple resolution. But in practice, everyone suffers in different ways, and everyone responds differently to the same treatments. It's not really "a thing" in a medical sense.

Like... that hyponatremia link is almost the definition of this kind of thinking: it's a real syndrome, it's documented, it's worth understanding and studying. But come on: EVERYONE has "Confusion, Loss of energy, drowsiness and fatigue, Restlessness and irritability" at some level, and of those how many are actually sodium deficient? That's a non-diagnosis.

I can't recommend Zulip enough. It made remote communication many times easier, it's a dream to use because it's faster than Slack (though that bar is so low you have to dig to find it) and Riot, and its keyboard navigation is second to none.

The mental model might take an hour or two to click, but you can think of it as Slack rooms where the only thing you can do is open new threads (can't post messages in the room itself, only in the threads).

I really really think everyone should try it, it's a big improvement.
"Any other" is rather too strong, as same could be (and was) done on devices like Openmoko phones, Nokia N900, GTA04 and now on the Librem 5 as well.

How does Tesla "not allowing those states to release the information of people who bought a car to third-parties"? That's purely between you, the state motor vehicle registration office, and the state's regulations, right?
By the way, I'm not trying to put the idea down. I think police abolition is an interesting proposal and a lot of work and thought has been put into it. It erases those thinkers when we say "they don't really mean it" and bundle them in with much weaker proposals. They do really mean it, and the debate is important.
