>or we will reach the day where corporations are more powerful than national governments

It's been true for decades that multinational corporations can push governments around by threatening to move their HQ or manufacturing or literally any other public benefit that they provide (like jobs) to any of the other countries they operate in (and maybe even some new ones that are campaigning for their attention).

Of course it's more complex than that in practice, but in a similar way that billionaires are (or can be seen as) a systemic economic failure, so too can highly capitalized organizations manipulate their living environments for their sole benefit, to the detriment of the vast majority of people that the organization touches with their actions. Jamie Dimon and Steve Mnuchin should be in prison right now for their performances around 2008, but instead they are vaunted leaders worldwide suffering zero consequences for their widely-destructive failures. This state of affairs is obviously not a meritocracy.

Antitrust enforcement operates pretty much at the leisure of the offenders, regulatorily captured like a lot of oversight in our increasingly authoritarian world.
When I went it was so busy that they required you to buy a ticket to get in, which was refunded if you then bought a book.
If I had to guess, they're likely referring to the lack of side-effects in some functional languages. This makes it a bit easier to formally verify the correctness.
It has several topics. History of female bodybuilding, effects of bodybuilding on body, effects of extreme dieting on mind and behavior, aesthetics.
Ok, we'll switch to the subtitle above, which makes that clearer.
Looks promising. I really hope I can avoid contracting COVID before these types of therapeutics or a vaccine are available broadly. (I live in Canada and we are currently wondering when/if the vaccine doses our government contracted through multiple vendors will be arriving after vaguely explained initial delays and setbacks)
I'll grant you that finance is an exception because risk management is the whole game. Other than that though it's just standards-based box checking.
I find a similar worrying trend in Software Engineering. Criticisms are often supressed [1], people are afraid of saying anything negative to "offend" someone, right-to-be-offended is rampant and often go unchecked and it's sending chilling effects in social media, Github, work places, forums, and slack channels. When we used to meet in person to discuss, there is a level of courtesy and acceptance of dissent as a matter of intellectual discourse, this is being eroded in front of our eyes. Online discussions in the past weren't so gamified as things are today.

On Github, saying something across the grain or against it can lead to public shaming - all beautifully souped up for public consumption in the form of 31 downvotes, emojified, recorded and attached to someone's name. Now, that person will perhaps think twice before saying something negative ever again, silenced and rejected by the public previously. Email mailing lists are far superior in arguing about a point than Github. Makes me furious just thinking about how shitty we have become. It's getting worse everyday. If you think that these people are just "assholes and always complain"; we have a mechanism for people who are truly assholes - be tolerant and ignore them.

Folks, it's time to ditch the 'Emoji Casino' for any sort of serious intellectual discourse. That includes Github and anything that's "social". One should be judged by the merit of their words and thoughts, not statistics and concensus.

A question on your earlier statement:

> in a lot of circles I'm not comfortable discussing even absolute basic things like "you might want a gun for home protection if you live in a high crime area"

Why not? What will be the consequences for you to state such an "absolute basic thing"?
Yup! Honestly feels like the industry as a whole has lost the plot.
They are gaming the public selling the dream and positioning themselves as fitness authorities, coaches, idols etc.
Should be an easy way to reduce carbon emissions at least.
I am not sure if that's a bad thing? In some sense, that is the point of having different countries.

It's nothing conceptually different from the US deciding to tax its citizens on their worldwide income even when they are living abroad. It's "completely independent of where they're actually doing business or living"
Think of it this way: any economic activity that depends on future outcomes is effectively equivalent to a bet. Lending money is betting the debtor will not default.

Making the bet about many people instead of one is, ostensibly, a way to lower the risk and thereby make the odds more palatable to a wider range of investors. Translation: more effectively move money from where it sits to where it will do good.

That makes a lot of sense. Good input for the OP.
Ask HN: Help a FAANG dreamer with mock interviews?
Hello HN!

Long time user but created a new account as I don't want to be too public about this request.

TLDR: Can anyone give me some mock interviews for FAANG type companies?

Long version:

Who am I?

Backend engineer working in Europe who dreams of one day making it to FAANG.

What am I looking for?

FAANG (or similar companies like Airbnb, Uber etc.) engineer to mock interview me. I am ready for problem solving and working on system design. So if you only care about System Design, please come forward as well :-)

Why not directly interview?

I failed last time and would love to do everything in my right to succeed this time.

Why now?

I have done enough prep to feel confident in my abilities. So I promise it will not be a complete waste of your time.

Why not Pramp or something similar?

I tried it 3 times and not even once had a positive experience.

Why not friends?

I did a couple of rounds with a friend who is in FAANG. Now he is too busy in his life :/

Will you pay me?

Unfortunately not. If I had enough cash I wouldn't be posting here. But I promise you this - if I get in, I will be available for the next FAANG dreamer.

I have more questions.

Please ask.

Thank You!
>I think it is a terrible sport. It's not only terrible for the competitors but also for the culture as a whole as normalizing steroid physique hurts normal people. It's not only bodybuilding by the way. Fitness magazines and Hollywood actors take most of the blame to be sure.

The world is growing fatter by the year so it does not seem as though people are too stressed about those conceptions of the body being thrown around. If anything, the normalization of obesity is a far more pressing threat. Just looking at recent stats is awe-inducing, and not in a good way.[0]

Amplifying your point, μops are grouped into Ways and Ways are 6 μops on Intel and 8 μops on AMD. Ways have constraints; violating a constraint will necessitate a spill.

Picking the right register might occasionally help with a decoder fetch line here and there, and progressively less often with the following instruction packing scenarios. But the first 6 are more important for performance although Intel spends a lot of transistors and dollars to make that less of an issue. They also have nothing (IIRC) with register names.

On straight drive road trips from Washington State to California in my late teens to early twenty’s, driving 80 vs 60 had a huge effect in my mind.
16 hours at 60mph vs 12hrs at 80mph seemed like a lot. Even counting the half hour I lost getting a ticket I got going 80 in a 60 in weed, , I swear to this day I still see lots of speed traps there.

Where as a 12 minute drive around my hometown didn’t mean much to me compared to a 16 minute one.

Maybe that’s because I’m one of those people who has a hard time counting how I spend my minutes in a day, and I generally count in hours.

Though now that I’m older the idea of a road trip to California taking several days sounds more appealing than speeding through the night. Though maybe that’s because I’m no longer working my highschool $6.50/hour job, and stopping lots for food and hotels doesn’t sound like going broke.

The US has some terrible problems but this article doesn't discuss them, preferring a convenient and lazy argument based on nonsense:

> America doesn’t make its own shoes. It doesn’t make some nuts and bolts or fasteners, it doesn’t make industrial things anymore because if money is to be made off an industrial company it’s to buy and sell the company, not to make loans to increase the company’s production.

This is of course utter bullshit. The US manufacturing output is more than 1/2 china's (about 16% of world production vs 28% for china) despite having less than a quarter the population. Sure, on a per capita basis Germany produces more than the US but back of the envelope the US is #2 or #3. And that doesn't include agriculture which in the US (and other OECD countries but not China) is highly industrialized, or housing or other such: just factories making physical goods.

What has happened is that the US manufacturing has moved into a saddle curve: either products that are too low in value compared to their transport costs (e.g. paper) or of such high added value that the other costs mentioned in the article are not relevant (high precision bearings, some kinds of software, chip fab equipment...and yes some fasteners). Unfortunately some of this consists of arms (e.g. F-35) which are sort of the ultimate in Bastiat-style "broken windows" and end up reflecting very little in actual economic development and fundamental growth). But still, a huge amount of manufacturing.

Of course by the nature of this, the US ends up exporting less of its manufacturing output than a country like China would, as its goods are either non-exportable or of more limited utility.

As someone who grew up shortly after WW2 ended, Kilroy was everywhere and this story brings back fond memories of finding the meme in the most unlikely and difficult to access places.

Yesterday I had fun exchanging pictures with friends we all shoot ourselves. They all looked like sepia filtered but weren't edited.

After some time outside you don't see the orange-brown hue anymore. But when driving all lights of oncoming car lights seemed blue. Even the white digits of my car's speedometer glowed with a strong blue hue.

My wife said that she felt like hell and apocalypse. I felt similarly opressed and even looked up teletext.ch whether a giant volcano erupted somewhere or not.

It's not the first time we experienced Sahara dust, but yesterday it was extremely strong and unusual for being it in winter.

As someone who once considered the same thing: Don't.

While security can be a fascinating field to learn about on your own, the actual work you do day to day is dull as hell, and the pay is no where near as good as what you get as a software developer.

You already have 5 years experience as a developer, if you start a security career now you'll be 5 years behind where you should be for your age, and you'll start with shitty entry level jobs that pay very little, and can also be easily outsourced to dedicated security companies anyway.

You have to be really exceptional in the field to make what an average senior software developer makes. Trust me, if you're like most software developers I know whose virtue is laziness and strive to do the most effective work with the least amount of effort, you don't want to be exceptional in the field. It takes so much time and effort and brand building, fuck it man. You're not getting any younger.

Securing networks isn't even a big deal, like anything when you're first learning it it seems super interesting but then it's just the same bullshit over and over.

My recommendation, sticking to writing code and actually building stuff as a career and do the hacking on the side as a hobby, and occasionally use what you learn in your career.

Many women choose to do Figure and Bikini competitions over physique.

Lots of women use the competitions as focal point to work on their bodies, fitness and get results.

I know several women that are generally out of shape frumpy looking, but spent time to get into shape for figure completions. They look amazing with model perfect bodies for competition. Then, right after competition, they celebrate by binge eating junk food for days and get fat. Then, the cycle starts over again.
