As a person who has been involved in real estate around that area I'm fully cognizant that many of the resorts that appear to be outside the gates of Disneyworld are technically on Disney real estate. When looking at maps its pretty easy to see what is and is not Disney property, as soon after you leave Disney property there's tons of chain shops and other stuff right outside the gates. I've still never stayed on a resort or hotel on Disney lands and its disingenuous (I'd say a lie) to say most hotels in Kissimmee that offer shuttle service to Disneyworld are leasing land from Disney. You do realize Disney doesn't own the entire state of Florida quite yet, right?

Bureaucrats, not engineers. The difference being that bureaucrats are there to pour glue over something to stabilise it, whereas engineers are meant to try new things.
It is possible, perhaps even 10 or 20 years ago, But it isn't economically feasible. You could build or refurbish the ISS into something that looked a Japanese capsule hotel 'fairly cheaply', but getting there still costs millions, we are thousands or 10s of thousands of spacecraft away from making them cheap to produce and run.

Hotels on earth aren't exactly money spinners and apart from the zero gravity and looking at the earth the novelty of being in space would probably wear off after a day or two. Projects like Virgin Galactic - for a 'near space' fun ride will probably be more lucrative in the short term. Getting (government funded) astronauts and satellites into orbit is where the money is right now.

R0=5.7 would imply that in any area with dropping cases and low rates of vaccination (say sub50) we should expect people to be taking other precautions against covid. The fact that cases are receding thus can likely be attributed to behavioral changes. Thus we cannot nessecarily expect dropping cases to be stable if we go back to status quo from some years back. Thus we can predict that non-vaxxers are a spoiler on any complete "return to normal" including bar culture, based on currently known evidence.

I would figure that this screening measure gets more and more pointless the higher vaccination rates are simply on the grounds of it being overkill. For what it's worth most health authorities seem to figure about 70% first dose will take a serious bite out of covid, but I'm not sure what the magic number is.

Isn't it obvious? They say they don't give advantage to their own apps as a company policy but they made exception to this during an event.

The follow up e-mails indicate that the upper management wasn't happy about this and demanded high level approval before this happens next time.

So it's not really evil Apple caught doing something that they say they don't. Its more like corrupt Apple where someone did something somewhat justifiable(A relevant app being boosted during an event could be justified, though better not make it a habit) and then conveniently forgot to turn it back. Later a high level officer created a mechanism for preventing this happening again.

If it was something fineable, I would have been completely fine if Apple paid a fine and damages to Dropbox and others. Yet, I would stop short from labelling the company as "lying" as their words seem to match their actions with an exception of one event that was taken care of.

Remember the time when it was revealed that Google invited developers to discuss hiring or acquisition but copy their work, apply for patents before them? That also wasn't Google doing it, it was more like "ambitious white collars hacking their way to boost career", to put it lightly.

After all, companies are simply made of people with contracts. Surely the company is responsible for the actions of their employees but there's a distinction between company policy and individuals actions.
I never thought about bureaucrats that way, it makes sense and it's refreshing.

I think this also has a negative aspect for the US. The current polarization and anti-democratic way of thinking via conspiracy theories is a common occurrence, well-known for people in third world countries. It is just the vitriol that has been long employed by the US around the world to "combat" enemies identified as communists. These tactics are now coming back to bite Americans themselves, imported by the hands of the right-wing movement, who did this for decades outside the US. Now, the democracy in the US is the one in peril due to these same tactics, turbocharged by the internet.

Yeah there's nothing bizarre about it. Moore's law could as well be applied to space travel, why shouldn't you expect that a field that was new would reduce costs exponentially over the next few decades? Turned out to hit a wall but there were reasons to be optimistic at the time.

And the demand side of that business is still there. Who wouldn't book a hotel in space for a few days if the price came down to an annual salary, then a monthly?
Not following up after an interview is a definitely deal breaker for me. I won't ever work with a recruiter again if I've go on an interview and don't hear back because they don't want to share the bad news.

It's not that much different from the US, though, really, is it? Gay people couldn't marry here in most places until just a few years ago. And still, this country has raging huge debates about who is allowed to use which restroom, if a professional kneeling to a song is allowed to happen if he's black and trying to make a point, etc.

Sure, there are differences between Pakistan and the US, but I don't think the differences are as wide as you imply. Western 'hollywood' values are extremely gender-restrictive and not "open" or whatever at all.

> "there are more real numbers than integers."

This is neither true nor false as it has no meaning. Whether countable or not, infinite sets do not have sizes to compare.

Granted, I know many mathematicians still prefer to understand uncountable sets to be those "that contains too many elements to be countable" which implies size. But the statement is still meaningless. Countability vs uncountability is really about something a bit more subtle with the axioms that we use to define sets in the first place.
I wondered from the announcement whether the other figures would be present somewhere in the paper.

I am on the other side of this. As a hiring manager using recruiters, I am annoyed by:

- lack of diversity in candidates. (not just virtue signaling. if all I see are nearly identical resumes, I assume the recruiter is just phoning it in.)

- candidates “just a little out of your price range” who are 30% over the top end of my budget.

- “confidentially” telling me what other offers a candidate has because then I know they are also leaking my offers to my competitors

- telling me every candidate is great

- telling me every candidate is a hot commodity like they are hotels.com
Persistently messaging you to get you to apply but ghosting you and being unable to provide any status updates after you do.

Will add to the OP’s list by saying they often also leave out even the hiring company’s name and if it’s a defined length contract in the initial message. Why do I need to get on a call for this?

I was with you until you linked CRT proselytism with Hamas. That seems quite a stretch.
Well now they get to be a footnote in Plato's Republic. I'm not concerned about what people believe. If they want to get excited about Bayes theorem then that's great. I'm not concerned if people disagree on what it's called or how it's defined. Do you think the people who get paid to be rational understand rationality? I've seen things like software that earned billions in additional revenue get rolled back because we couldn't explain how it made decisions. The answer is that I don't have the answers and no one else does too. What's remarkable is how philosophers like Charles Babbage helped us make thousands of years of philosophy executable and we've unleashed it unto the world. How do we begin to understand that let alone explain it to the world?
The localapi is indeed an http server built into the tailscaled process, which is written in Go. Since we already had an http client in there, the net new code to add an http server is quite low. And it doesn’t take any battery unless it’s being queried. I think people underestimate how cheap http can be (once you’ve paid the up front cost, anyway).

You’ve correctly guessed that blog link [0] that explains the reason I don’t think we’d ever want to try making a distributed coordination service. Most importantly, corporate customers absolutely love having a single control and registration point for every corporate authorized device on their network (and thus, a way to instantly deauthorize stolen devices). What we’re going to do though is add private audit trails and tamper proofing, kind of like TLS certificate transparency, so that the central instructions can be validated in a decentralized way, if that makes sense. More on that later. :)

Re: peerapi, there are lots of ways to build app layer protocols once you have tailscale making the connection itself easier. We picked http since it was the fewest lines of code and it makes an easy example.

Re: live video, Jitsi already works fine on a tailscale network if you want to try that.
To your first point: You're still getting an estimate, not a value. My question is what makes a particular plot of land in a particular area worth a particular amount of money? I mean the actual value, not a "value" determined by proxy of one's nearest neighbor. If the assessor is not pulling a number out of his hat, where is he getting the dollar amount from? As you pointed out there are empty plots of land with no owner. Where does the assessed value of empty unoccupied land come from? And what makes that assessed value the "correct" one for the purposes of LVT? (Note:assessed value is not necessarily the same as purchase price)

To your second point: You understand that land has differing value/utility to each purchaser or potential purchaser. LVT does not recognize this. It only assumes that if you have more land, you should be taxed more. The farmer would obviously suffer in comparison to the city dweller.

However, as a critique of your point, few San Franciscans make actual money off their land or real estate (landlords excluded). The fact that they *can* make money off their land, does not mean they are. To be taxed as though one were making money off of land is to use a legal fiction to justify a particular policy. It doesn't solve an inefficiency in land distribution but creates one.
Calls. Everyone wants to talk or even video chat. It’s the most annoying thing, not only by recruiters; everything is a voice/video meeting nowadays instead of mail or text.

If you're going to do a coding interview, the question should actually be pretty simple. No tricky things, no can really only do it if they learned about it once, something anyone who can program can do.

I do a problem with a defined example input, and a general idea of the transformation to be done with it, but allocate the first 15 minutes to the candidate picking the output format, and refining it. You could do a very simple output format with a potentially large worse case space usage, or you could make the output format more complex and get better space usage; anyway, as long as they've got something, after 15 minutes we can move on, and if they're not going anywhere, I can hint them to the simple solution and maybe they can refine it a bit, or at least discuss the problem.

Once that's done, there's two 15-minuteish coding exercises, and the key thing I'm looking for is that they can use the format they just created. Language doesn't matter, but the code should be self-consistent; also I give utility functions for I/O, so nobody has to remember the standard library I/O. Over time, I've learned to do the easier of the two exercises first, so most people can finish at least that one, if it's not in the target time. Also, I've learned that I can't expect any knowledge of bytewise I/O; some candidates just don't know what a byte is, so you have to explain it, sometimes a couple times, but many of those candidates end up doing pretty well, it just wasn't something that was ever previously important.

Having done the same problem over years with lots of candidates, I feel pretty well calibrated to figure out slow but good vs can't code at all vs having a bad day vs won't follow their own format. If someone is having a bad day, and you can tell early enough, the best thing is to try to make things go well as much as possible during your interview; if they're having a bad day, you won't get a conclusive evaluation, but if you can turn the day around a little bit, maybe they'll feel better and relax somewhat and the rest of the interviewers can get a more clear picture.

All this aside, if you really want the best people, you probably want to hire from your network, and then the interview becomes less evaluating the candidate, and more selling the candidate. Maybe ask them about real problems you're having, and see what they think and also if they're excited about solving your problems. It's less repeatable --- you want to ask about current or recent problems, which means candidates don't get the same questions.

You might object to me always asking candidates the same problem then, and it's true it's not an active problem, and it's also an area where 99% of things just use a library because it's complex, but it's a concept that has broad applicability, and I use a very simple form that fits in an interview, and most candidates haven't written anything like it before, which gives it a freshness.
Sadly I think the biggest pain I've suffered is from recruiters calling and making every conversation a rambly/chatty/friendly call that doesn't actually give any details.

I've been called by recruiters who won't name the company they're recruiting for, the salary range, and are incapable of actually describing the daily-expections beyond buzzwords.

I've found the best approach for me is to google "sysadmin helsinki", etc, and applying directly to companies. Any time I see an application form that wants facebook/linkedin/github details I just close the window.

Dealing with people (in-house recruiters possible) in the actual company cuts actually allows you to have a decent conversation about expected skillsets, areas that are involved, working hours, on-call schedules, salary, etc.
Your vaccine works now. Why do you believe it will work for the rest of your life?

While it works against the main COVID-19 variants, it might not work against some evolutionary accessible variant.

New variants require a non-immune host population for natural evolution to occur.

The more people with COVID-19, the more likely there will be some mutation that affects vaccinated people.

This is why the flu shot doesn't carry life-time immunity against influenza.

Therefore, even if I'm only using egotistical reasoning, my understanding of how vaccines work make me care that others also get vaccinated - it reduces my future chance of health problems.
It is not concerned about the world beyond, but is concerned about the future. That's why it has beliefs too
Nobody goes to that bar anymore because it’s always far too busy!
> That's just a trick religious evangelizers use as bait to unleash their barrel of canned answer

How is that different from what the atheist side offers?

The fact is, the big questions in life tend to be complicated to figure out, so canned answers are a practical way to not devote your entire lifetime to redeveloping the conclusions from scratch. Ideally, you'd also do some due diligence and try to figure out whether they agree with reality as you understand it.

There's a reason why we use caching in computer science. Cached answers should of course be invalidated in cases where they are found to be incorrect, so one should remain open to the possibility of being wrong about their beliefs (though just how open, is a subject of individual opinion).
My "one weird trick" for spotting this behavior is using my middle initial on LinkedIn. LinkedIn stores it as a part of my first name, so their spam always starts off with "Hey Mark P.!"

Those emails get ignored. I ignore most automated agency emails as well.

I will always reply to personal emails from in-house recruiters or employees, however. I am starting a new job soon, though, so it's only to thank them for writing.
