When I interviewed at all the local big tech companies the interviews were fairly similar down to asking identical questions sometimes. Very heavy on leetcode, some system design and a single behavioral interview. Generally looking for the same things in each interview across companies.

They weren't identical but much much closer to each other than the interviews I got from startups.

I was in some of those CH convos with you. I was actually suspended for a little while and tried clearing it up with them. Sent all the details I had and the original google doc I published w/ a lot of styprs work. They never responded but I was unbanned and given some fresh invites... but yea... strange it hasn't been cleared up.

Ultimately I think the premise is around a completely open and a transparent digital experience. Clubhouse still needs to defend against those with malicious intent and a new realm of psychographics to abuse.

Side note: I was hooked on the app until that suspension (lasted ~2w)... I haven't been able to get back into a groove. I rarely log on anymore.

I think antivirus would be fine. There is a test file by EICAR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EICAR_test_file . It's also 100% text, but it's and ".com" instead of a ".exe" so the internal structure is easier. And more importantly, it use self-modifying code to modify an instruction and run a non printable instruction, that is somewhat cheating.

Loosing, no but they sell it constantly. That’s the most offensive part of the Cambridge Analytica scandal: personally identifiable, politically relevant information like what you describe was and is still sold at scale, but no one is going after the companies selling it because of that bogeyman. Facebook was blamed for something that Experian buys from credit card companies and sells to political consultants, for something that the Post office sells to political parties.

Edit: Specifically, in the US, Cambridge Analytica (and every similar company) uses credit data to know your car model; they use Post office data to know which magazines you subscribe to and they match that through your name and address to your voter record to have party affiliation and participation. Guess what arguments would resonate with a Republican voter, subscribed to _Guns & Ammos_ and still paying for his Ford F150? I know that from having personally discussed with CA Data scientist about their models.

If you want details, check the Netflix documentary "The Big Leak" at exactly 1:00:00, you‘ll see Brittany Murphy showing the screen of her laptop, with a list of all the databases they used, with sources and exact numbers. It clearly says that Facebook data was scraped (it’s either public information, like data from Ads audience network or voluntarily shared information like people clicking on pages and apps controlled by CA); the other databases were purchased.

This sucks. Timber has been a huge part of Oregon's DNA for some time now, and a lot of the old-time loggers here are basically environmentalists (though they would prefer it if you didn't call them that.) And what I mean is, they seem to have a deep understanding that taking care of the ecosystem that sustains their livelihood is good for them and their families in the long run.

Some of these ranges are just staggeringly beautiful – especially the coast range as you drive out to the water. Typically you'll see small patches logged, with signs indicating the new plantings, etc.

One interesting bit of info: Douglas Fir is an iconic tree here, but a hundred years ago what was more common was rolling prairies of oak savanna and oak woodlands. The Douglas Fir have taken over the oak woodlands, which are vanishing (and in the Willamette Valley a lot of the prairies and oak woodlands have been cleared for vineyards.) Native Americans used to maintain the landscape by setting burns annually. The oaks are fire resistant, so they'd get rid of a lot of brush that way, while pockets of annuals in gullies (including vegetables etc) would survive, as well as the oaks which supported large game.

We have an oak woodland and prairie on our property that we're conserving and restoring, and a Douglas Fir stand on our ridge which we have no plans of logging for the time being. They do require some thinning occasionally as the trees mature, and it's important to keep brush down to lower the wildfire risk.

In California, rental apartments are built to a lower standard than condos. In particular, they don’t require noise proofing between units.

WebDriver provides a standardized interface for automating web browsers. It makes building out automated cross-browser tests easier, since you can utilize all the browsers in the same way if they support it. It's mostly confined to use in automation and testing, not something a webpage would use with your browser as you browse the web.

Currently, the protocol is request/reply from the client to the browser, so if you do commands involving a page and want to wait for something to appear (a dialog, a confirmation message, a notification, a changed element, etc.), you'd have to check the page over and over again in a loop of commands to inspect the page's state to see if the change happened. This BiDirectional spec would allow you to execute commands that tell the client to send commands back when certain browser events or DOM changes happen, allowing you to specify a callback handler that happens when the event triggers rather than having to poll with a loop.

This makes implementing tests much easier and more consistent. One weakness of polling, for example, is that if something changes on the page and then changes back between your checks, then it'll appear as though it never happened. The BiDi spec makes it so you get events for the changes without having to worry about polling rates.
> Why is the AdTech industry insisting on collecting information that it can't use and is invasive?

- The "dumb" approach to targeted advertising is good enough, they're stuck in a local minimum. When they try to be more clever, ROI drops.

- That might change in the future, so it's better to have the data than to not have it.

- A lot of that data is also useful for the problem of ad attribution - i.e. determining who should be paid and how much if a person buys something somewhere (possibly off-line).
Wait until you find out how much in taxes the elites pay in communist countries.
Why is my first thought I wonder how much that costs and not instantly wanting a potentially life saving or quality improvement?
It seems you would be able to subscribe to events in your browser, and they could be sent from the browser back to your webdriver client without polling.

This is already possible in the CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol), so I guess it would help modernise webdriver, and allow other browsers to do similar things.

For instance I have a test (written in webdriver.io) that loads my SPA, and subscribes to network events in ChromeDev Tools (via CDP, via Puppet, via webdriver.io). This means I can assert that all .js and .css files on the page loaded successfully with 200 status codes.

At the moment I can only run this test in Chrome.

This is primarily based on growth and growth indicators. Since the economy took a big hit from the pandemic some level of snap back should be expected. This may not be enough for full recovery, may not endure. Also, long term demographic and interest rate trends are strongly deflationary and whole economic sectors are still down to a fraction of previous scales.

Most troubling is the great divide between the wealthy profiting from stock market growth while the working poor are lucky to have an unsafe workplace to labor in. This is a formula for strife.

Ooh, this is a great point: "there is reason to believe that the further the government is willing to go in its statutory definition of publicity the greater likelihood is there that it may be excused from the necessity of exercising direct administrative control." -- Henry Adams https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Adams

>Metric is taught in schools and is the exclusive unit system for scientific work.

Not in astrophysics and cosmology. You almost never hear of meters or grams. We use a hodgepodge of different units depending on what is most convenient and sensible. Working in the solar system? AU. In the galaxy? Light-years or parsecs. And in theoretical work, you often will encounter mass measured in electron-volts, distances measured in solar masses, or temperature measured in square meters, or (more often) everything measured in unitless quantities with no dimensions at all.

It really does feel a lot like the traditional medieval measuring systems, messy but once you learn them, useful and comfortable in the mind.
The event they are describing is not a random event (sometimes you should have gotten a 0 but you got a 1 or vice versa) but instead they discovered that a particular CPU core was defective and consistently got a certain math operation wrong.

Other than "disable the bad core" it seems the right mitigation is "RMA the sucker" because I am sure FB has a good process for that.
I find efforts to skirt rules and regulations very fascinating.

This reminds me of a discussion awhile back. When interest rates threatened to go negative due to European markets circa 2014-2015, I remember discussing with fellow economists just how negative rates could go. Ultimately, at some negative rate, we figured wealthy individuals would remove their capital from the market and put it in warehouses with armed guards. The maintenance cost would eventually be lower in that approach than to leave in banks (charging higher fees as rates increased) or similar.

Ultimately it was speculative only, thankfully, since capital inflows from Europe to the US kept the rates higher than zero.

Fascinating stuff!
Here are 32 studies, papers and articles of varying quality that support that claim:

https://www.aier.org/article/lockdowns-do-not-control-the-co...

I don't know what you mean by "lockdown". That's not a term of art, it's something used mostly among right wing people arguing against mitigation strategies via hyperbole.

The word lockdown has been widely used for the entire past year by people across the political spectrum, to refer to mandatory stay-at-home orders, business closures and so on. You know this already of course, but are determined to view this through ideological lenses.

As for obviously working and being nonsensical to claim otherwise, it's the opposite: the data is extremely clear that they have no effect whatsoever and quite a lot of all-country statistical analyses have been done that show that rigorously. For example, here is one such paper:

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5...

"Rapid border closures, full lockdowns, and wide-spread testing were not associated with COVID-19 mortality per million people"

But again, to see this, you don't really need sophisticated analysis. You can just look at the case curves for different regions that did or did not use these tactics.

Re: influenza. We're talking about COVID here, so influenza is irrelevant, controlling the flu wasn't the goal of lockdowns. However, there is some evidence that suggests you can't be infected with more than one respiratory virus at once, so it's possible SARS-CoV-2 simply kicked influenza out. But given the extremely lax symptom classification of COVID it's also possible influenza cases have simply been reclassified. Regardless of the explanation it's not actually relevant: neither lockdowns nor mask mandates had any impact on COVID and there is abundant evidence to this effect. The real question we should be asking is why not, and there unfortunately there are quite a few plausible explanations but nothing conclusive. And the people who are paid to figure that out (epidemiologists) all seem to be in denial and still pretending their models were never invalidated, so they're not much help.

I bought it and skimmed through most of it, and I have a hard time recommending it personally. It’s really short on the crypto and offers no insight into why TLS behaves the way it does. I would like to at least see an explanation of the TLS handshake process, but there is none. It’s a lot of “using openssl s_client”-type of discussion; i.e. how to use it, not so much on how it works, and that applies to most of the book (including the ocsp parts).

Practical, not necessarily theoretical; but if that’s what you are looking for, then it’s a great book.
TL;DR It is mostly due to the corporate friendly and experienced legal system in Delaware. Not so much about taxes. If you are too small or just starting out, you may be better off incorporating in your local state of residence to avoid overheads. Right?

It’s not a surprise. Most consumers have no regard for privacy and may be waiting for a Netflix documentary to enlighten them on why products/services offered from certain companies may be bad.

A ‘bias’ towards some companies exist here as there’s an understanding of the underlying business model, their disregard for data privacy and so on. Most tech companies and news outlets stand to gain nothing by educating the masses on these topics, and it will often hurt their profits as they may be a beneficiary in the overall supply chain.

The typical consumer is consuming goods and services oblivious to all of it. They care about cheap/free goods as opposed to weighing the cost it being cheap/free (they won’t know why they should care, for starters).

Those who are technically savvy and aware of what’s happening may bring attention to the underlying risks... which is what you seem to be classifying as bias.
