This is awfully presumptuous.

>Live in a legal state and forget to take those joints out of the care before going to an illegal state?

It is common knowledge that marijuana is not legal everywhere and there are a lot of restrictions. Honestly, "forgeting" your drugs in your car deserves a drug charge if you transport it somewhere illegal. People should be expected to maintain a minimum degree of personal responsibility in a civilized society. This includes following basic rules.

I can't speak on the experiences of the homeless.
It's the equipment, they must apply for a reason they need it and conduct audits to make sure they still have the item. The rule is in place to prevent requesting items and then selling them though.

Even that is rarely enforced, I doubt anyone has been punished for not using something. The article mentions a department that keeps some guns permanently locked up because the DLA refused to take them back.
One of the most powerful pieces of art I've ever personally experienced was just a stark sign with black-on-white lettering that read:

I've run into enough folks that actually think this way that a priori, knowing nothing about what Slava usually writes, this doesn't come across as satire. I could see how certain folks think they're "building an extraordinary team at a hard technology startup" and would use this as an interviewing handbook, no sense of irony.
The profiling tools on the jvm are quite good. Easily comparable to what was presented in this article. I can see some benefit to the idea that you can get a repl looking at the results, though, again, I imagine any runtime based language could give this. (I said interpreter based last time, but it is the runtime that is important, I think.)

That said, I have not seen this done with lisp. I would assume it would look a lot like this.

The chronic Lyme scam is basically a highly evolved social engineering attack.

A large percentage of the population has unexplained symptoms, and perhaps mainstream medicine doesn't have a good solution.

Quacks and conspiracy theorists on social media convinced their victims that they are infested with Lyme disease and that the CDC, mainstream doctors, and mainstream testing cannot be trusted.

When a mainstream doctor or lab tells them they don't have Lyme, instead of providing assurances, it only reinforces the false narrative.

The victim then spends all their money on scammy doctors and labs that tell them what they want to hear.

More on the social phenomenon:

"Deserted desert" doesn't make much sense for a failure mode for a Ferrari, but off the top of my head I can think of half-a-dozen locations where it would both be super-fun to drive a Ferrari and that don't get cell coverage. All of these less than an hours drive from a major city.
From the author of the thread, apparently no, towed to a place with a signal is not an option:

"Oh yeah, so nope. The fact it had no signal at the time of the tamper safeguard being triggered meant that remote recovery wasn't an option, even when we moved it into the open. Idk, an extra layer of theft protection I suppose."

SASE is the new buzzword for a SaaS Threat, Identity, Firewall, SD-WAN, Access Rights, Remote Access bundle. The picture in this article illustrates everything I would expect the suite/bundle to cover eventually. https://www.sdxcentral.com/security/sase/definitions/what-is...

It's a bit of a messy space for a couple reasons. Every vendor who made any one of these products is quickly racing to become a kitchen sink through development and/or acquisition. At the same time, they are splitting up what was once bundled into components you can buy separately to piece into a larger puzzle. Because most companies already have relationships with multiple vendors providing these services, they are fighting each other to both create walled gardens AND SIMULTANEOUSLY interoperable compatible components for larger multi vendor buildouts. (Palo Alto buying CloudGenix SD-WAN, while at the same time being the leading supplier of on Edge firewall VM's for Velocloud devices. Velocloud will both tell you you can run Palo Alto, ZScaler, or Checkpoint, but also that they have in house Carbon Black. What risk are you taking by integrating two vendors that are both trying to crush each other, despite the best in breed solution being part of each of their products.) "We have Cisco for this, so maybe Duo makes sense, but then that overlaps Okta, and that overlaps what we already get from Microsoft, which overlaps what we get from VMWare, which is starting to overlap what we have from Palo Alto.

Anyone in the "Zero Trust" space is likely rebranding bundles as SASE. https://telegra.ph/ZeroTrust-Vendors-04-23

On the topic of Cloudflare. They have a leg up over EVERYBODY because they are building on top of Wireguard, and everybody else is stuck with legacy IPSEC that they cant leave anytime soon. From a future proofing perspective, if you don't already have commitments elsewhere, this is likely a VERY ATTRACTIVE bundle. One of the killer products buried in this is Cloudflare for Teams Access. No more need for AnyConnect. And like I said, most/all the other ZeroTrust Access gateways either a) only come in a bundle with other products 2) are a me-too product offered by a vendor that specializes in something else 3) are ipsec. https://www.cloudflare.com/teams/access/
"automatic weapons" is sort of a red herring. even in the military (US military at least), rifles are usually used in semi-auto mode. AFAIK, the main exception would be suppressive fire on a position, which is probably not an appropriate tactic for police in a residential area.

even in the US, you are much more likely to encounter criminals armed with pistols than rifles. it's a much more appropriate platform for the use case.
I've seen people predicting this would happen when the platforms decided to start to police content years ago.
That's a good point, and maybe it would be interesting to compare how much Holocaust denial is a problem in these countries and in the US.

Has the criminalization of such hate speech helped at all with solving the problem?

That being said, a lot of countries in Europe do not have the concept of "free speech" as is it defined in the US.

> If they are doing this, then they are contradicting themselves

Not sure I follow anymore. Who is contradicting themselves, and how?
Can confirm. Learned something from that.
no, that's exactly the point, it's not. the risk is overblown, even considering bear country. the worldwide risk is on the order a few dozen attacks (not deaths) per year, primarily to defend their cubs, with extreme hunger being a secondary cause (bears understandably don't risk fights without good reason).
They also sell this data to hedge funds who can use it to try to predict retail sales.
How does this work with people who are dead set from the beginning to refuse to listen to what you have to say, and refuse to reason in good faith?
Or you can take your rants to your own little website and leave folks here to discuss their "racist and destructive" ideas. By your own argument this should not be any impediment on free speech.
ZeroTier is a true "global LAN," basically SD-WAN everywhere, emulates layer 2, and has a rules engine, but does not yet have the IAM integrations that some others have. Guts are very powerful but GUI is more minimal and less mature (as of now).

Tailscale is a Wireguard configurator and P2P hole puncher with IAM integrations and a nice GUI. Runs at layer 3 so it can't do some things that ZeroTier can do, but most stuff runs over IP so only some segments of the market care.

BeyondCorp is more of a concept. Google has their own implementation of it and so do many others.

I too have trouble wrapping my head around this technically speaking. I get the sense that it's basically something that puts your WAN over Cloudflare's network and lets you do access control everywhere in the cloud, which would make it closer to the now-defunct Pertino or some cloud-backhaul-based SD-WAN solutions... but that's probably only a part of it. "One" here seems to refer to "one" bundle of a whole bunch of things.
> do cancel-culture proponents really want to cement the precedent that employment is just an ordinary association, and that anyone's employment (and thus livelihood and health insurance) can be terminated on the whims of their employer?

If we're talking about the US, that's already extremely firmly cemented outside of specific union protections (I haven't heard about unions going to bat for employees getting called out; I'd be interested to see if it's happening).

It's a major issue with the way American employment works, but is somewhat orthogonal to the question of calling out people for bad behavior. People can lose their health insurance if their employer doesn't like their haircut also; the root issue is that health insurance ought not be tied to employment.

> Would they feel comfortable allowing a Trump-voting employer to casually part ways with an employee upon finding out they support Biden?

That happens all the time. So does employers supporting employees' support of a political candidate.

Politicization of labor isn't new. My relatives who are union are required to spend off-job time working a phone bank for a few hours every election cycle in support of the candidate the union is backing; it's part of their union agreement.
This is indeed a problem, so acknowledge it as such. But do not use this problem as a justification for misrepresenting actual reality - that is dishonest. If your position is correct and righteous, misrepresenting reality should not be necessary.

It is a rather sad and concerning state of affairs that there is such a widespread aversion to honesty on a site as normally clear-thinking as HN. As well, there seems to also be a very strong aversion to discussing this phenomenon (that people regularly misrepresent reality here) in the abstract. I am infinitely curious about this behavior, that is observable in large quantities.

-------------------------------------------------

EDIT: FYI, I am only allowed a few posts per day here (overton window maintenance?), so I will have to put my answer to your child comment here as an edit...

> Sorry, what exactly am I misrepresenting?

This:

>> You can disagree with opinions, but not facts. Facts are... facts. That the Holocaust happened is a fact. Denying that fact should indeed not be tolerated.

The ~dispute regarding the holocaust does not consist of a simple binary of whether the event occurred, or not. There is all sorts of complexity and uncertainty (as is typically the case in reality, our recorded history of it, and alterations to that recorded history of historic events as time progresses)...and in turn, our individual perceptions of events (which we mistake for reality, as is always the case in every conversation of this type on HN, and elsewhere) are highly inconsistent with each other, as well as with that which physically occurred.

So my question is: why describe it as if it is a simple binary? What is the motive for this misrepresentation? Might it be perhaps, with conscious intent or not, to persuade others to adopt your style of thinking and opinions? Just speculating of course - I am very interested in knowing the actual underlying reason of why there is such a strong aversion here on HN to discussing reality in its true, high dimensional nature.

I speculate that: because we do not do this, it has real world effects similar to that which would be experienced if one wrote software on top of a specification that leaves out 3/4 of the actual complexity of the problem space. And so, I beat this same dead horse, day after day, hoping that some day one individual will be able to acknowledge that indeed, there is actually a horse in the room.

Since its inception facebook has not had completely full free speech. It doesn't allow targeted bullying, scamming, or any other way of causing material harm to another person. All this is doing is admitting genocide denial causes material harm to another person, which I'm sure you would agree with.
It's our current understanding of physics. Those limitations might be impassable. Or it might be possible that there is a higher physics where things like the speed of light are bypassed. Like discovering that quantum entanglement is based on some mechanism that can be manipulated to communicate faster than light, or one can skip over distances through higher dimensions, or we decode the source code of the automata that creates the universe and it's immediately replaced by one even more bizarre. There are some theories that this has already happened :)

The point is it's arrogant to say what's impossible for all time, because nearly everything we do today was impossible a short thousand years ago.
I agree with you - I think that rural life is quite empowering, but can be quite isolating as well. I also think that cities can inspire a sense of independence and self-reliance - in NYC, many middle schoolers ride the subway alone. In my apartment, we fix things ourselves, and my 6 year old already has a working understanding of plumbing and electrical. She's also been exposed to a diversity of cultures and ideas, not all of them pleasant, but all educational.

Overall, I find the suburbs to be the worst of both worlds - overprotective parents shuffling their kids in cars from scheduled activity to activity with other kids of a similar ethnic and socioeconomic background
Cloud is if anything where memory hurts more, because it's less shareable than CPU time and so renting it costs more. One of the big reasons I've seen cited for teams with a cloud based application switching from a GCd language like java to rust is because of the memory usage cost of the GC, which can be a 2x or even 3x multiplier compared to the same in rust.
It’s truly a sad state of software engineer interviewing, that I can’t tell whether this is satire or serious.

> This could set a potentially dangerous legal precedent. Microsoft are arguing that the malware operation damages Microsoft's brand, instead of putting the fault onto themselves for making vulnerable software.

I don't think this sets an precedent. Think about it in terms of physical security, a thief's ability to circumvent poor or no security doesn't preclude them from liability for their crimes.

The court has seized their assets and given them to Microsoft so that Microsoft can repair the damage they've done both to Microsoft and to it's customers.

Nuclear fuel can also be recycled.

Again, the energy density of fission is such that producing the same amoy of energy results in orders of magnitude less waste. Decommissioning nuclear plants doesn't change this figure.

Note that you said 100-200 miles away. If you are driving much longer than that the cost of gas to pull it vs a mini-van is probably more than a hotel + restaurant meals. (depending on how expensive your tastes are). Maybe it works out if you have a luxury camper (read would splurge on the expensive hotel rooms), like to cook your own meals, don't drive too far every day. There is a reason most campers don't got very far from home: they need a lot of fuel.

Having had a RV (which I lived in all summer - I didn't move it), and done real tent camping I object to calling any form of RV roughing it. I've been 10 hours be canoe from the nearest car before (it took us a full week - I've talked to some who did the same trip in a long day which is where the time estimate comes from), I know what roughing it means, and a RV isn't it.
is there a better way of describing the group of countries where it is unlikely to encounter criminals with lmgs mounted to pickup trucks?
Nuclear also externalizes cost -- to future generations, for thousands of years.

Wave energy, wind and solar is different though.

> ... Nuclear is an adequate response to the proximate problem of global heating ...

It's not the only way -- what about heavier taxes for energy from burning oil and coal.

But I guess people like their cars and getting stuck in the daily 08:00 traffic jams too much. Who wants trains or buses or bikes or running shoes.
So like everything else in the networking space it's a mess of overloaded terms with multiple meanings and tangled concepts all trying to hit as many buzzwords as possible...?
Denmark and Sweden have increasing problems with drugs gangs using hand grenades, and they've had a lot of experience with the motorbike club gangs in the eighties and nineties, who raided army barracks for military weapons and waged war.

I work in Times Square in a huge building with a ton of people with an open floor plan.

If it's metadata plus content of your contacts' web searches, etc., then the distinction becomes meaningless.

If you have a phone call with a friend about widgets and then they google for it just after the call, a wise marketer might think they should show you some ads for the same thing just in case.

Just pray your friend doesn't google something illegal or distasteful just after they get off the phone with you.
> It's arrogance because you think that your current system of science is relevant. Civilization has been around for only 5000 years.

So, if magic exists, there also might be aliens. Got it.

> How do you know other planets do not have elements that have anti-matter properties?

Well, we haven't observed anything that gives even a hint that something like that exists.

The matter / antimatter disparity is still quite a mystery. But we don't see any evidence of antimatter out there in any significant quantities. So if aliens want to use it, they have to make it the hard way, just like we do.

Beyond current state-of-the-art technology would make manufacturing and containment of antimatter easier, but even then it is a long way from practical.
May not have been bad in the earlier sets as they would have used phosphors that persisted longer to compensate, but later on, manufacturing costs were driven down and the same tubes/coatings from 60hz sets were being used in 50hz sets, making the flicker much more apparent.
It seems to me that the normalization of Neo-Nazi Holocaust denialist content will directly lead to more deaths in the near future, so that's clearly beyond the line for me too. I mean, it already lead to the deaths of tens of millions, so we do in fact have an answer here to "What's the worst that could happen?"

And if you're willing to defer to Facebook's judgment here, then the problem is solved. Holocaust denial is banned from Facebook, same as death threats. Discussion resolved. We're in agreement.

I'm relieved that I'm not alone in feeling bad about these pieces of advice and horrified of the possibility of interviewing or working in a place where people think like this.

The author acknowledges right in the article that he would fail this interview, but expects the readers to trust him on this one... oh you just follow these steps and the plane will keep flying.. I tried it myself and crashed, but maybe it will work for you..

If it's satire, then it's not obvious enough, if it's not, then it's just bad advice.
I think you mistake my comment. Perhaps I just should have said "yes".
Americans have been marketed to by American marketing firms and consultants that the GDPR is difficult and costly to implement. As an American that worked in the EU and had to implement GDPR compliant systems there is so much FUD spread about it. A lot of it is company momentum to not implement the easy stuff, ie. "we've never encrypted our data. What if we forget the passwords?!" And the rest is ease of access, "marketing needs access to billing information. We've always been able to use it so why should we have to ask permission?"
I remember that story and they really failed to make a case. With as many security experts are constantly looking at the big apps like Messenger/Insta, you think someone would notice huge packets of audio data if this was happening.

I think what's much more likely is that machine learning algorithms are so good right now, they're able to determine what people are interesting in based on browsing habits and other metadata. Either that or they're using your location data and tracking what adverts people are physically seeing on signs/billboards.

So you may think your app is listening to you because you get an ad for something you talking about, but you don't realize you talked about it because your brain subconsciously registered a billboard over and over again.

Thanks for posting this, good to know there are kindred spirits!

I definitely consider myself an introvert, but I also realized I would normally do a ton of stuff during the day where I was just generally "around" people - I liked walking around our downtown, or eating out (even if I was alone), or working from a coffee shop in preference to working from home.

I really feel like I'm having a weird feeling of disassociation from the world, and I don't like it.
I suspect there’s a big split in anxiousness to stop working from home between the executive/managerial class and the people that actually labor. The former has a much harder time maintaining the illusion that they provide any value when everyone is off-site.
