Unfortunately strong and unique passwords are not ever enough.

You always need to add 2FA where possible.

Hopefully there are stronger options of 2FA beyond the weaker form of SMS.

The saas pass password manager helps identify which websites, service and apps that you use where you have the option of adding the TOTP/HOTP based 2FA and even autofills them.

I will happily talk on the phone at great length with a potential employer or internal recruiter. They understand the role, they can assess my skills correctly, they can give me the important insights into what working there will be like, and they know their actual compensation range.

I have no real interest in talking with the majority of recruiters, who will generally do at least one of the following:

- Misrepresent the role to me

- Misrepresent me to the employer

- Under or oversell me (A recruiter almost refused to put me through for my current job because I was asking for the top end of the range)

A good recruiter should be able to make the decision on whether to pass a candidate on from reading a CV plus 4/5 questions (in a single email).

If you know what you're doing, just set up the phone call with the employer.

>who make the effort to actually get people on the phone and make it happen

You might make it happen faster if you skip the phone screen with people who can't assess candidates because they don't understand the role nor the candidate!
Why do you find GitHub useless? Doesn't having access to a good chunk of code samples help guide the decision, even if it isn't their whole body of open-source work?
Define religion as a societal organization, beliefs as mental convictions without proofs, and faith as determination and grit towards hope and higher goals.

Then by the very process of dismantling organized religion, whatever core is left, will not be average: The remaining core will be the more fundamentalist, more extreme and the annoyingly louder part. Its position in society will take time to shift though, all the while new technology platforms make such voices heard louder and wider than before.

When people lose beliefs, the addicted will need something else to hold on to. In this case, the quest for riches, fame and money. So for those already rich, it only makes sense to buy up all sources of knowledge and information, such as media, education and civic spaces. Making the snake eat its tail, prevents it from nibbling your own coffers. Beliefs are governed by being infallible, which is the false core itself.

Whatever direction people take, will be powered by faith. The hope for something better, wether it be in printing more currency, or less. And it makes sense for all involved not to get people engaged in anything that really matters.

So it is not from the outside or from another person true faith will blossom, as faith is ever so much more than mere beliefs.
I've played Pandemic Legacy through with a group of friends, and yes we did everything by the book. It's one of my most memorable board game experiences, full recommendation. Got more value for money than with any other of my board games.

We started season 2 too, but ironically that was disrupted by the pandemic.

This was interesting, but also somewhat paradoxical.

A belief that does not affect your actions, but implies or causes a belief that does affect your actions. Well, that does affect your actions. :)

The analogy with the useless tree breaks down because gemini still has to be useful to some people. I can understand the tree living as an end in itself, less so for a web protocol. Gemini has a mission and if it's usage is too restricted it will barely be a safe space for anybody because barely anybody will be using it.

It's a tradeoff and I can't judge if gemini got it right, but gemini obviously still wants to be useful in similar aspects in which it wants to be useless enough.
There has definitely been an increase in the money supply, for example see this chart of the M2:

This is still sort of bananas to me. I can't imagine applying to a company without... Well, knowing and investigating the company. How early in the process is this information normally revealed?
I completely agree. To add to that, the Toyota Tacoma has never been cheap either new or used. Add some pent up demand, and you get a more expensive truck.
It's been an open secret for many years that they don't enforce quotas. It's not profitable but google has really deep pockets and can afford to not care. Not sure if they really closed it this time - like I said, I'm still able to upload multiple extra terabytes onto my supposedly 1 TB account even now. So it doesn't seem like they started enforcing quotas to me.

Look/ask around in r/DataHoarder for recent experiences of other people, they also discuss other storage services in general a lot.
I'm more familiar with the financial market than tech, but I did get a guy saying he could forward me to Google at one point. I guess that was just a BSer? I didn't go through him as I know people internally, and in any case it wasn't the right move for me at the time.

Good to know from you how to approach this.
Funny how this format keeps coming back into some sort of limelight every so often ...
You are confusing different concepts: ideology and religion.

Ideologies are a set of ethical/moral assumptions about what is right and just, i.e. they are about human practice, about what humans ought to do.

Religions are ideologies, but they are also a set of beliefs about the world itself, about the physical and metaphysical reality - which are thought as true a priori. This part is almost universally wrong, as we could learn by a competing concept: science.

Ideologies can only be falsified insofar as they base their arguments on statements about human nature - these can be questioned empirically.
This was not to say that those things were left unattended or no effort has been made, it was in the context of the parent comment - dharmic definitions, and ideas, are fallible as everything else and can be corrupted and lead to the same or worse outcomes and they can mingle good ideas (Vegetarianism) with bad ideas (Casts).
No such thing as "under any circumstances". The circumstances determine your decision, and what your priorities are.

Sounds like neutrino mixing to me; which my naive view (physics graduate along time ago) is related to particles existing in higher dimensional spaces - my theory being they are projections in our 4D.

I guess particle-antiparticle mixing could instead be a temporal phenomenon too?

I guess in an ideal world where everything in your org is behind MFA, app authentication and protected from denial of service, then solutions like tailscale would not be needed.

But my personal experience is that most software is completely hostile to good security practices and you end up having some perimeter security as well.
>And the space populated by small community like that will necessarily end up different from the culture on the web. (If they were happy with the web, they would have stayed there.)

Actually rocket fuel although very old fashioned doesn't seem that costly.

Falcon 9 flight to LEO costs $200K in fuel but can lift 22,800Kg. If a person and their seat could be squeezed into 200Kg that's only $2K per person. I think the biggest cost is that the forces and extremes of temperature mean the 'rocket' needs to be engineered and maintained very well as any small failure is likely to be catastrophic - its very hard to abandon ship or divert to the the nearest airport.
The number of times restaurants tried to defraud me makes me happy that authorities are getting stricter. Waiters make "errors" on the handwritten receipt that somehow are always in the restaurants favor, or they "forget" a 20€ bill when giving you change.

Even with the new EU laws regarding receipt, it's surprising how often you are told that you can't pay by card because the machine is broken, or that the waiter "accidentally" hands you the wrong kind of receipt (they hand you an order summary, which was not yet finalized and is not an official invoice, and after you pay they cancel everything so that the payment is not recorded).
Phoning it in means giving up on doing a good job, and just putting in the bare minimum effort to get the job done. It comes from the idea of phoning in rather than putting in the effort to show up in person.

So in this case, they don't actually care about finding good (or underpriced) candidates, they're just spamming a basic resume match.
> Do you even know what it means to run a social platform?

Hacker news has added no features for like 10 years and has two moderators. TWO.

Hacker news doesn’t do “growth.” It doesn’t send re-engagement emails. It doesn’t have an official app. It doesn’t run TV ads.

Yet it’s one of the most visited sites on the web. Any below-average software engineer could build and deploy a clone within a single day.

How is there not a German, Brazilian, etc. hacker news?

It’s mind blowing to me.

This isn’t even 1% the difficulty of “building your own car.” In fact, for many software engineers, building an HN clone would be easier than changing a tire.

I’m insanely skeptical of the idea you can’t find enough demand for a German language Reddit/HN in a country of 85 million educated people.
I like the approach modern gopher clients are taking by natively supporting markdown content. Does Gemini not support that?

Some people (maybe they call themselves "purists") rage against this and kind of insist that gopher is all about text and only text.

To a certain extent they are right - gopher has traditionally been about text, but the designers of gopher didn't have this dogmatic obsession with text-only but actually wanted to do "VR", I e. a graphical 3D interface for gopher (complete with "flying" transitions between servers) as well as doing visual overlay over a globe etc showing where gopher servers were physically located. They had dreams of a much richer interface so I don't think we should artificially constrain ourselves.

The real modern benefit of gopher is the lack of pervasive scripting and cookies/tracking (and FYI modern gopher clients and servers support TLS)
I think my top 5 is

- Sending really unprofessional messages and not even doing the smallest amount of research before talking to me. I've had one call about a Ruby tech lead position this week, nowhere on my publicly available CVs do I even mention Ruby.

- I've got multiple messages from "lol we're so quirky here" type recruiters, all I can think is "silence, brand!". Emojis evoke a very visceral and unpleasant reaction from me, and I'll always forward the messages onto my boss asking him to make sure we never use those recruiters

- I'll say things that amount to "if they're offering less than $x, they can't afford me", and they'll try to haggle. That's incredibly disrespectful IMHO

- Pretending they care about social issues. If they mention anything about workplace activism I get as far away as possible.

- Being too friendly. I'm a potential recruit, not your new best mate.
tbf the anti-"woke" movement in the UK is the decades old British "political correctness gone mad" meme with an imported name.
I don't see how what your upset about is new or connected to social networks. McCarthyism existed two decades before the first networked computers and was the exact same thing as what you're describing.

I agree, people are shitty, but trying to legally limit the speech of people you don't like is exactly opposite the values of free ideas that we usually try to support. Or at least the ones that I support.
> It doesn’t work that way

I've worked as a recruiter for 7 years, and I have sent LinkedIn print-outs to clients several times. A strong candidate's a strong candidate.

> Recruiters take your CV, remove identifiable information (to avoid company going directly after you), add 1-2 cover/intro pages and send it to the company.

Recruiters have terms in place with their clients that mean the client would have to pay either way. The only time recruiters will anonymise CVs before submission are if they're using a CV to try and tempt a company who isn't a client yet -- which is illegal unless they've cleared it with the candidate first.
Fair point, I guess I was more complaining about sites that ONLY allow linkedin for applications - something I don't see too often but something that seems to becoming more common.
> I don't think its any better elsewhere. Was it ever?

The concentration of power in media organisations into a few large conglomerates has likely made things worse.

To that end, it logically tracks that things were better before consolidation, as there was a greater diversity of opinion / perspective being pushed by distinct media organisations.

Many were similar, but less by leadership design, and more by virtue of simply sharing similar views.
Huh, I just finished watching a youtube video on MiniDisc's rise and fall, with some twists along the way (featuring DAT, DCC, CD and eventually the iPod) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCK89V4NpJY

What I didn't know is that it has had a bit of a resurgence in a niche of retro enthusiasts, with limited indie hip-hop/waporwave/future funk releases as blank media continue to be made by Sony.
We're not looking for perfect. We're looking for good enough. The web isn't.
England doesn't regulate who can work as a recruiter, and there's a very active and competitive recruitment industry there.
Agreed.

I see the request for social media, as a method to determine if you will fit in. If the group you are going to is extreme in some way, it would be a blessing to avoid them. e.g. if they all play tennis and they have their own tennis tournament ... and you hate tennis ... you will hate working there.

Makes me wonder if you, as a potential employee, should ask to see their linkedin / facebook pages .....

> they made exception to this during an event.

It was for 11 months, and the event was for launching the competitor product.

I would understand the argument if they boosted for a reason which wasn’t to give themselves an advantage over the competition, but in this example that was their exact plan! Boost during launch to give their new competing product a kick start, and give themselves an advantage nobody else has launching a service.

And I might understand it if they boosted to the top for the keyword “files”, but the keyword was “Dropbox”.

I wrote a simple oh-my-zsh (but should be easy to port out) plugin to improve UX of the environment variables option [0]. It's basically a very simple secrets manager, allowing one to store env variables (or whole chunks of scripts) in GPG-encrypted files and see if any secrets are sourced at the moment.

So the workflow usually looks like following:

$ secrets aws-credentials # prompts a GPG passphrase
$ aws s3 sync ...

I think flaky VPNs are a much smaller component of the problem than management who simply do not care. But of course we just end up blaming the tech teams.
> but ghosting you and being unable to provide any status updates after you do

Ghosting you is definitely not ok, but the inability to provide status updates usually comes from the end-client, not the recruiter.
Much as Freenode Ltd/Andrew Lee may be seen as having taken over Freenode it is clear that disloyal and morally suspect Freenode domain administrators are as much to blame.

Whoever transferred those domains must have known the possible consequences but were clearly not deterred.

The minidisc is the most “aesthetic” format ever made they simply looked cool, and today the have a retro futuristic look.

Flash drives and portable NVME SSDs are awesome but they just look boring.

The Zip Drive also never looked as cool both the drives and the disks looked rather boring compared to the minidisc.

>Gemini has a mission and if it's usage is too restricted it will barely be a safe space for anybody because barely anybody will be using it.

I think that's the point. When you build a protocol so restrictive and ascetically minimalist that even HN and Lobste.rs, epicenters of the very sort of contrarian tech hipster anti-modernist elitism that brought it about mostly complain about it, it's clear that what you're really optimizing for isn't utility but ideological purity and cultural homogeneity.

For legal reasons, if a company receives a resume for a given person from 2 sources, it tosses them all and marks you as a no hire.

When 2 recruiters sends in your info, the company does not know whom to compensate. They have been sued for this. 15 years ago, the common practice, because lawsuits and fraud are expensive, it was safer to pass on the candidate.
I had the feeling they should be more prevalent (gbazerman made a splendid talk long ago, amongst many other people).

The fact that so few people were mentioning it made me feel wrong.

Do you use them regularly ?
I think the plan has worked out so far: Prevent asset price deflation (to not trigger too many margin calls) by creating artificial asset price inflation. For now CPI seems to be more or less unaffected which can be seen as a success from the "kicking the can down the road" point of view. I think this comment by Christine Lagarde: "We Should Be Happier to Have a Job Than to Have Our Savings Protected" nails it. Its choosing stability over efficiency to prevent the unrest of the masses.
Correct.

There is no such thing as "secular ideology". There are many. Just as there are many religions.

There is materialism+work ethic, there is materialism without work ethic, there is "wokeism" (to pin a definition, the belief that oppression is a fundamental societal force and clearly directional based on some enumerated characteristics), there is nationalism. There's even "startups" :P

But perhaps you have a grain of truth in that rarely is a "secular ideologist" a "monotheistic" (monoidealistic?) one. Usually one's identity holds a plurality of those identifications.

Also, people can have a strong identification to ideas without a community to back it up (another grain of truth, and the saddest part)
Someone should create a service where people can collaborate in explaining things to computers, and comment, ask questions, or criticise each other's explanations....
Sorry, but this is a very naive point of view.
The Nazi solution was to kill as many of everything as fast they can, the t4 programme and hands on killings were already daily business.
The only thing holding the Nazis back was a functional USSR, as soon they anticipated the fall of Moscow, the termination camps have been built in no time.
They also maintained many concentration camps long before the decisive conference at Wannsee.
The systematic killings started in June 41.
The construction and initial glassings via gas vans started before the Wannsee conference, they couldn't wait long enough to get started.
Hitler stated as early as 1922 to a journalist that his first and foremost task will be the annihilation of Jews.
He simply had to keep a bit of international reputation and was not sure if the army and other lackeys would be ready to commit mass genocide on civilians.
After the cowardly operation Barbarossa, there were no doubts any more.

There are no ifs or whatever about this, the German population will forever be marked as the biggest suckers in mankind for allowing this man to power and have him and his rich buddies stay in power.
There were heroic people who had seen the painting on the wall and died for the cause, then there were the complicit, active clogs in the machine and the most cowardly, the "neutral/passive" parts of the population who accepted the state of affairs and hoped it might either away without consequences for them.
And then there's people like you, to this day believing the Jewish solution would have seriously been a peaceful relocation, which would have killed many as well.

Ask yourself in which of the 3 aforementioned groups you would most likely be.
