They surely can, but if the interviewee knows his current setup from his/her existing income means the connection may not be stable. The interviewee can

* Email upfront to inform about the situation
* Trying to go to other places with more stable connectivity.

and others.

As xyzelement said, an interviewer, which I am as well, evaluate multiple signals at the sametime, how resourceful, or how the candidate solve a problem, is one of the soft skill that is required.
Interesting. But this point seems a bit different than the one tialaramex was making.

tialaramex's criticism of passwords was that Edward can use the stolen ones eternally. But if your actions are followed, with Facebook resetting all those users' passwords and forcing them to reconfirm via email or phone, then tialaramex's criticism doesn't really apply anymore. The criticism only applies to users who reused their passwords on other sites, because Edward can still attack those other sites.
I just don’t understand why you’re taking such a crazy harsh tone with this.

“Insanely unfair” to your coworkers to sometimes have a problem that causes you to drop from a meeting? Chill out man, life happens. The job gets done.

Coworkers living on land in various neighborhoods across Seattle have their power go out multiple times a year. It’s not “insanely unfair” to me when that happens. It happens. So what, you deal with it.

And since I’m sure you’d expect them to all get generators (based on the other thread), I sure as shit wouldn’t bother if it was just 2-3 times a year, myself.
While I agree with you, one normally does not spin down raid disks.
Massive waste of time; if the US wanted to "destroy" Bitcoin they'd just Magnitsky Act it. Make it illegal to touch any financial institution that handles it or any country that hasn't also declared it illegal.

Not 100% effective - it hasn't destroyed Cuba - but would cut off the supply of money, advertising, and the ability of people to pay ransoms in it.
No, as has been pointed out to you - multiple times - reaching a deal is not equivalent to a contract.

The fact that your experience tells you that "deal equals contract" is strange.

In my experience I have had plenty of "deals" not materialise for one reason or another.

To extrapolate that the BBC is printing bullshit is basically to say that if you have not experienced something, then it is worthless.

The BBC is not lying. You are being shrill for no good reason and are relying on and extrapolating from your limited experience of deals.

For this kind of encryption, any operation between plaintext symbols and the random masking symbols that belongs to a commutative group can be used.

Nevertheless, modular addition, including addition modulo 2, a.k.a. XOR, is almost always chosen, because any other kind of operations are slower in hardware without having any advantages over modular addition (when the masking symbols cannot be distinguished from a random sequence).

For example, instead of using modular addition, you can use multiplication modulo 2^16+1 (a Fermat prime number), to encrypt each 16-bit plaintext symbol, but that is slower than modular addition without being better (unless your method of generating the pseudo-random mask is weak, which is easy to avoid).
The main differences between the countries which could have frustrated your friend could be:

- Switzerland got their doses later than the US for a variety of reasons, so the US was able to give them away earlier, and lift the age restrictions earlier

- Switzerland made clear groups to assign priorities, with which you friend might not have been happy (presumably because he is in the last group, as I am)

That would explain why in his personal situation he was better off getting the vaccine in the US while on vacation there, but that's not really a case of too many rules or red tape holding the vaccination back in Zurich.

This is interesting, but how well does the vaccine actually protect against it? Having five times fewer antibodies than for the main variant doesn't mean much if you have twenty times more antibodies for the main variant than you need.
Oh my god, I can’t express enough how stupid 4) is. I interviewed so many amazing people I wanted to hire on the spot, instead they tell me they consider this as an exercise. What a waste of my time as well.
auto-type is much more secure than using the companion keepassxc browser extension to fill your passwords since it didn't need a connection between your browser and your password manager. it also removes the chance of some dodgy website having a username and password box off screen and using it to trick the atuofill feature.

one minor inconvenience with auto-type is that your passwords don't auto fill by themselves, but I have it set to the hotkey alt+x which makes it quick to trigger with my thumb and after doing it this way for nearly 2 years now i barely notice

another downside with auto-type is that not all websites put their full names in the browser title bar so auto-type won't show you your related passwords in some cases. to fix that you can install a browser extension that puts the full web url in titlebar

No currency is guaranteed to be deflationary. You may guarantee that the currency supply will behave in a certain way (although even that is debatable), buy you cannot guarantee that the price level in terms of such a currency will continuously fall.
But that would is a bit of a stretch, some rich countries, say UAE (Dubai) and Saudi Arabia, do not have a direct access to " super fast nodes, they connect through Singapore, while countries in the Mediterranean basin have better access, yet it does not give them that big edge.

I manage a password manager for an MSP that supports hundreds of Azure tenancies with dozens of engineers. 2FA codes in the password manager in a shared space is far safer than a non synchronised account with no 2FA. Since the TOTP code is not accessible too, it also means that password manager breaches are time limited.

Just depends on your use case.
> This religious person can.

So I'm guessing you are Christian because you were raised in an environment like that.

If you were raised in Pakistan, you would have been a Muslim.

So how much chance would you give each religion to be the correct one? Because they all contradict each other, and believing in one basically states that the other can't be true.

Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Atheism & others.
"So is rest of the earth" ... when taken as a whole, though. Switzerland is not flat as a pancake, for example.

Let's start by not making hazardous plans for the sake of marketing, which is notoriously harmful in its short-sightedness.

What was the technical point behind the announcement of an eternal major version number? Clearly none, since upgrades to the underlying system are still happening, whether they are called Windows 11, Windows 10 "This-years-flavor Update", Windows 10 "2105" or "21H1" or whatever subversion name they come up with (with total inconsistency even here, in typical Microsoft fashion).

Analysis of the Gateway Process (1983) [pdf]
However, what are you missing is that there are exemptions available to you.

You could choose to use them (for example, the self education one) and get SEK5000-SEK10000 (~€500-€1000) BUT then you would have to fill out a tax return.

That is just one exemption. Another one relevant for our field is working from home. Similar amount.

In order to claim those, though, you will need to file a tax return. If you do not consider that money to be worth the time, then not filing one is a good choice.

The Australian system - which could definitely be improved by at least pre-filling things - forces you to actively choose to leave the money behind. The default in the UK, Europe and the Nordic countries is that the money is kept by the taxaxtion office.

Defaults are powerful. And they thank you for entrusting them with your extra SEK that you do not want to claim.

In a podcast with Lex Friedman, George Hotz said something along the lines of: "Cryptography is one of the few games where the defense wins."

Transitively, this statement applies to a set of crypto currencies too. I, hence, think it'd be unproductive for anyone to deny this property by e.g. trying to outlaw certain applications of cryptography.

While I wasn't alive during that time, I believe that for ideas of similar weight that require immense ethical decision making strength (e.g. anything related to splitting atoms) political and game theoretical advances had to be made before humanity was ready to "live peacefully with that knowledge."

It's not by accident that cryptography was once deemed a weapon by certain states.

Now it's time that states don't turn their eyes away and merely say "careful, you may loose all your money." That's irresponsie. Rather they must collaborate to
ensure that crypto has a useful, peaceful and non-destructive future.
With all the religions in the world, who each contradict each other, there is only a small chance that you were raised in the correct one.
Svalsat earth station and kongsberg satellite services (a pretty big defense contractor) are on svalbard. Lots of critical DoD and earth observation stuff is in polar and SSO orbits.

As for other submarine cables to medium size islands, it's a calculation based on a Telco, that until the advent of o3b, might have been paying $300,000 a month for geostationary transponder space. And the much fatter pipe that is fiber. In some cases partially government subsidized as an essential thing since remaining 100% dependent on satellite is a bad thing if you can afford to avoid it.
Numberphile – Own a piece of the Mandelbrot Set
I burned myself out a couple of years ago. A combination of 4-5 years of extreme workplace toxicity and 17+ years of relationship toxicity proved too much for my mind and body to handle effectively.

As a result, I'm super familiar with that cold, dead, leaden feeling of not caring about anything, not really able to feel any of the excitement and buzz that I know, intellectually, I should be able to feel. It is taking a long old while to return back to a position of health, and while that's happening the only thing I've really had to draw on is grit, determination, and a sort of psychotic single mindedness.

I'm now in a much MUCH better place than I was before, but I've been able to keep pursuing my side project (and hopefully eventual startup), and able to keep making some kind of progress ... but it's really only been sheer bloody-mindedness that's kept me going. (I'm hella stubborn when I want to be).

Happily I'm feeling a lot better now, and progress is definitely picking up again now that I can actually smell the victory that's so tantalisingly close to being in my grasp.

The language can't be blamed by the community though.

C++ has everything to provide a Java/.NET like experience, and it was on that path during the 90's, with C++ Builder being the surviving jewel of that period.

Apparently many in the community cannot grasp the world outside vi/emacs, and anything like OWL/VCL/Qt tooling is evil to be avoided at all costs.

That is how we land into a group kiling C++/CX and calling editing IDL files and managing their generated outcome by hand without any kind of VS support, progress.

I've had a minor burnout 4 years ago where i dropped my side projects.

I changed jobs and have been working the longest time on my current side project. One of the most important things is that I don't need to do it today. I can have a week of leave from my side projects if i want.

It's working on it consistently that works, without overworking myselve.

Question is: what do you care about?

Is it about the technology it earning money from them? If you want to earn money from them without caring about the learning part, it's not actually a passion.

Culturally sophisticated, enough to care about such things.

But I suspect there are many people who consider anyone smarter than them "elites" regardless of their actual social standing.
It makes no difference whether the money was printed or "created".
A longish read, and one that cuts off just as it starts getting interesting, but from an era where similar goings-on occurred. The "Glomar Response" ("we neither confirm nor deny" https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/confi...) arose out of a not-dissimilar cover-mission project. Project Iceworm, and quite arguably the entire US-Soviet space race also come to mind.

But worthwhile, and a bit of history I hadn't been aware of.

People are looking at this from the wrong end. They're assuming that ransomware attackers will keep getting away with it.

They won't.

They've crossed a threshold. They're now considered terrorists. It's not just law enforcement any more. Law enforcement has limited resources chasing a large number of crooks. Now CIA, NSA, and DoD are looking for them, with far more resources aimed at a few targets.

All it takes is one slip-up. One intercepted phone call. One Bitcoin transaction that can be traced. One boast to a friend. One purchase of an expensive car. One crypto key that wasn't totally random. One hint on social media. It may take a while. But eventually the attackers will make a mistake, if they haven't already.

Back in 2009, Somali pirates attacked the US-flagged Maersk Alabama and kidnapped the captain. They didn't expect the US to send two warships, helicopters, and a SEAL team after them. But that's what happened. Three of the pirates are dead, one is in a US prison.

The US has a long tradition of overreacting to attacks, going back to the Tripoli pirates demanding ransom during the Jefferson administration. (Jefferson sent a fleet and the Marines. The pirates lost.) The Barbary pirates during the Teddy Roosevelt administration (Roosevelt sent battleships. The pirates lost.) The Somali pirates during the Bush administration. (The pirates lost.) Bin Laden during the Obama administration (Bin Laden lost.)

Somewhere, there's a few very scared hackers.

I’m not familiar with the password manager here, but that's a CDN compromise causing auto-update to download a malicious dll. Of course voluntarily installing malicious code is a game-over scenario unrelated to the discussion, and I’m not even sure there’s a browser extension involved here.

Of course, but adopting another currency doesn't make a dysfunctional government any more functional. It's like fixing a wobbly table while your house is on fire... probably not the most pressing problem under the circumstances.

I came to the same conclusion with my experience of religious people.

Good people will justify their deeds through their religion, and bad people will justify their deeds through religion.
While it's true that corporate influence over governments may result in subsidies to effectively give a discount - it is less likely than you describe, because the taxation is international.

To illustrate why that is, think about a state like Ireland. So far, Ireland has gotten corporations to be HQ'ed there, or pay taxes there, because the tax rate is only 12.5%. The detriment for Ireland has been minimal, if any, from that corporate presence. It _could_ have gotten more but that's just theoretical.

If this goes into effect, then a corporation will no longer benefit as much from being Ireland-based: It will pay 12.5% corporate income tax annually, but will pay extra in other countries it's active in. Who's going to subsidize the extra 2.5%? Ireland? Technically possible, but it's unlikely for Irish politicians to subsidize the taxes a private corporation pays _elsewhere_. Showering a corporation with money to that extent requires corruption on a whole new level.
Well, let us see in 10 years. You might be very rich or have $0 from crypto. I will have my money even if it tanks and be very rich if it does not. If you hodled, you lost on days like 19 may, I almost doubled up. I just don't get the religious part: if Biden 'takes on ransomware criminals', btc could drop to 0$ today and it will crash the rest with it. And it will not jump to 1m$ overnight, so buy low sell high is also generally the quote on this.
Vista introduced pretty big innovations at its core. Windows 8 did too, with its tickless kernel, for example. Windows 10 also brought an abundant dose of "little else" improvements. Everything wrong with Windows has to do with the GUI and the userland API, the most visible parts. What we want is a Windows 10 kernel coupled to an older, more useable and sane user interface.
If you stretch the pancake only to the dimensions of Switzerland, the vertical features would be a lot less high. And Switzerland has quite some height differences within a small area.
I use Bitwarden, and to my knowledge the issue raised in this article does not apply to it -- all interaction is through the extension's icon, with no UI elements injected into the page itself.

Combined with being completely open-source (including backend), full-featured even in the free version, and $10/year pro version (with features like sharing, encrypted storage, etc.), I can recommend it to practically anyone.
I don't want to diminish what people having PTSD have to endure, but physical changes in the brain don't mean much without quantification. Regular learning alone also leaves physical and lasting changes in the brain.

I mention this because pointing to the physicality of psychological conditions often induces a sense of fatalism that often isn't warranted per se, and can become some sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.

Again, this does not mean people should just pull themselves up. It does suggest that people could in principle learn coping mechanisms (through therapy etc.) to a degree that allows for leading a fulfilling life, even with PTSD manifesting physically in the brain.
There are several alternatives nowadays, you're being dishonest by only mentioning the most controversial one.
Also, have a hard look at what it is you enjoy about side projects. I found out I like the figuring out things part of it (including talking to potential users and solving their problems), but everything after that (marketing, maintaining, improving) drained me.

That's fair enough, but I think the same criticisms I have of Marxist theories of value also apply to Graeber.
>> Massive carbon emissions.

This argument keeps being made but it's BS. There are plenty of PoS tokens which use very little electricity.

Also, crypto discourages consumption by discouraging spending through social HODLING behaviour. HODLING a token collectively to make the price go up means that community members have less fiat available to spend on consumables which reduces their collective consumption and reduces carbon emissions.

In a crypto ecosystem, all the different tokens are competing for which community can HODL the hardest. The communities who produce the most value and spend the least are going to end up the richest (highest market cap) with the loudest economic voice. This is a lot better than the fiat monetary system where spending is not a factor because everyone is forced to support (and absorb the stresses caused by) the spending of billionaires within that system. When a billionaire spends hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a super-yacht or private jet, it doesn't crash their currency... Maybe it should!

Imagine what good that would do to the environment if everyone was competing to consume less!

There is also an argument that Bitcoin mostly uses cheap, surplus electricity because that's the only kind that's cheap enough to make mining profitable.
