I don't rationalise it as a good thing. I think there are many things to consider when buying a phone and this is just one of them.

Lately Apple started mandating that apps like telegram or discord must make it impossible for iPhone users to see nsfw content, which has tipped the balance towards android for me. For the first time in many years I'm using an Android phone. But as I said, one of all the factors to consider.
I'd love to learn if I'm doing something wrong, but Sheets has terrible performance compared to Excel in my experience.

Not just sheet sizes, but Sheets feels much slower and has a vastly weaker toolset. Just the fact that the browser takes precedence for keyboard commands from the web app makes the usability suffer massively.
You can keep this very poorly constructed bridge. Please do better providing an actual argument rather than careening around slandering people.

You hit the nail on the head. This is old news; they've been investigating this for years.

They chose now of all times, with the protests going on in Cuba and U.S. officials openly calling for U.S. intervention, to release another presser about a years-old story which gins up negative sentiment against Cuba.
Here are the arguments that the WHO used in 2015 to change the practices for naming new infectious diseases:

So what you're saying is that we shouldn't respect creative works that are too similar to their inspirations and you think a good example of the creative work we should respect is...Warhammer?

"It’s all in here, the neolithic bones of our current game system. Borrowing heavily from Tolkein, you get all the standard Fantasy races, standard beasties (heck even the Balrog is in there by name), and so many others...There is no Old World, no Warhammer world, no history, just some little crazed and revolutionary rules for using units of fantasy lead miniatures to fight out epic battles."[1]

>the CIA knows that people will read vaguely and shallowly and take away a confused anti-cuban sentiment, and this is their intended outcome

If the CIA's goal were to foment anti-Cuban sentiment in relation to Havana Syndrome, why would they have the press write articles which don't blame Cuba, and depend on the public not actually reading those articles but still making the connection by vague association... rather than simply blaming Cuba, so the articles would blame Cuba, and even people who read the articles would make that association directly?

You're reaching. This isn't part of some subtle CIA propaganda double fake, it's just the result of Hacker News preferring to depend on commenters to provide context for articles they don't read.
What about sticking to your values?
I've got some questions about linear time.

The author's previous article, on July 14th, opens: "I have never been fired, nor did I quit a job in a probation period".

However, the current article says: "I am happy in my current job and have spent more than one year here...Then one day, I got fired from my job without any prior hints.".
wait, you were actually at 'Amiga' Los Gatos (pre atari/commodore acquisition battle) or at Commodore-Amiga?
> this simply cannot happen unless several someones all Seriously Fucked Up simultaneously.

This is exactly how any and every bug enters a mature software product: it slips past multiple layers.

> This is a massive, overlapping fuckup. Heads should probably roll here

Some process should change, to fix the problem. But firing people is not necessarily the best solution.
The rates are typically high because they are loans of last resort and people still default. Typically people, in the US at least, have absolutely terrible credit and no one will extend to them.

And while there are exceptions, typically people with horrible credit are likely to continue the cycle.
so... you made my point for me? "Stories are convincing even if they're entirely baseless"? They convince those who don't care about whether something is true, and so... we should roll with that?

How is that an acceptable attitude?

No, stories are stories, they're the thing snake oil sellers sell the masses in order to sell their snake oil: put them to the test. If their story is a good story: write it down and then go "cool, so what whether this actually has any merit, or truth?".

This isn't Orwell's 1984, just because people like something doesn't mean it's even remotely trustworthy. Let alone pandering to.
And their messages, their photos, and so forth. After all, they have got nothing to hide!

Sometimes I think the issue is not being personalized enough, as in, because they do not know the person doing it, it is not an issue. It is an issue if it is you, standing next to them, but it is not an issue if you would be out of sight. It is silly.
That's federal - some states have laws protecting people less than 40 as well. Also, fun fact, but reverse age discrimination is 100% legal in every state. It's entirely legal to say "We gave X the job because he is 55 and you're only 45", but it is illegal to say "We gave X the job because he is only 45 and you're 55"

You offer no counter-evidence to gp. I've never seen it seriously suggested that Cuba is doing it.

There might've been speculation that Cuba allowed it or supported a foreign operation, but "from Cuba" doesn't mean "by Cuba".
This can tell you the network that sent the call (with a lot of effort and subpoenas to every network along the way), but there are so many ways to get VOIP access these days, VOIP companies don't necessarily have KYC.
Well, that’s great! I’m glad they’re still competing in the space and have a good foot-hold.

I think competition in this space is important in the long run.
You're gravely generalising, as if everyone who does side projects has to do them the same way you do.

And even disregarding this, you're still not proving my point wrong. You're saying personal projects show you can work in some set of conditions that have little to do with how work in a company gets done. Yeah, you can "prove" yourself somewhat when you're on your own, does that automatically translate to being a good engineer in the office?

Again, I have no experience hiring, but I fail to see a logic here. Good luck with trying the CV out, and do write a blog post when the results are in!

I don't expect any noticeable progress as long as medical regulations assume that people already live forever. Avoidance of risk is an absolute priority, even though under current technology level everybody is certain to die. Collective insanity helped by entrenched interest of big pharma corporations.

The only way this changes is if against all odds diy biohacking scene arrives and outright breaks the law by doing human experiments. I got interested a few years ago and concluded until dna synthesis becomes cheap and more reliable for longer sequences it's a pipe dream. That would require a fundamentally new technology (enzymatic dna synthesis?) as current tech is just marginally improved 1970s tech.
It's not something you screen for - as I said in the article, "you don’t want to miss out on a great engineer just because they spent all of their energy making great products for prior employers rather than blogging, speaking and coding in public"

But if someone has it, you're likely to take it into account. So as a candidate it's useful.
Is there any reason to believe that the "men in tech" are significantly different from all men? If anyone made sexist claims about women in tech, would they not actually be sexist because the claims are just about women in tech and not women in general?

If you're against the broadening the reading of claims, do you think that Garcia Martinez should be reinstated at Apple? For reference, he was fired over claims of sexism, because in a book he published before being hired, he wrote something along the lines of "Bay area women are weak, Eastern European women are strong"
The CB1 receptors actually shrink up and recede with long term use and the effects change with aging. For many long term smokers, this long term heavy use does bring more anxiety. Stronger THC profiles with less CBN, CBG, or CBD in the flower being smoked, coupled with the terpene profiles present in the flower also have widely varying effects. Some smoke a kush strain that is heavy in caryophylene, myrcene, and/or linalool and feel a relaxing effect. For some, couch locking, sedative effects cause more anxiety. While still for others, sometimes lemony strains full of limonene and pinene causes more anxiety but for others the limonene gives one an energetic and uplifting buzz without the anxiety. It's also a psychoactive (THC) and so similar to hallucinogens, for some it's what anxieties are already in the head that amplifies anxiety once high.

Unless you dive deep into the latest chemical/terpene profiles or live in a legal state you may not have heard that much of the type of high actually comes from a compound effect of the terpenes present and level of THC to CBD to CBG to CBN. Every single strain and plant to plant should be thought of as a concoction of sorts.
Because it gives you a more rounded sense of the individual. Other passions. Other ideas. Areas they’ve worked in unrelated to your problem.

Job/coding interviews are very difficult to do well, and many people such as myself tend to perform poorly due to the stress of the interview (so much that I’d rather stay in a mediocre position than go through the agony of interviewing — I hate it with every fiber of by being, and it correlates 0% to my in-job performance).

It’s just more data, which is especially useful if you’re on the fence with someone. You can also see creativity which isn’t something you can test well for in an interview — especially technical interviews.
Its working pretty well for our 8 person team. We started with ECS, but at some point it wasnt enough, and kubernetes would be too much for our size and expertise (We have around 100 services and do not need autoscaling).

Documentation could be worked on, but its getting better.
These state Human Relations/Civil Rights board are headed by appointed officials from the executive branch (not the AG).

Thanks for dropping in! Few questions:

1) First thing I noticed was a bunch of custom labels inside. Can you confirm that aside from the four swappable external "port modules", the laptop is compatible with standard parts (e.g. 2x M.2 SSD's, 2x DDR4 SODIMM's, Wifi, etc)

2) Is the CPU soldered and will upgrading it entail replacing the motherboard?

3) Is it possible to disable vPro on the fastest CPU option? (I thought all modern Intel CPU's came with it but the site implies it's absent on the i7-1165G7?)

4) Any info on battery life? Any option for higher-capacity batteries?

5) I see a Canadian flag at the top of the site, but are prices still always in USD?

6) Any options / price to extend the warranty beyond 1 year?

7) How is Iris Xe Graphics? Is it still unable to run VR? Roughly what kind of GPU is it comparable to? (Any plans for a bigger, "gaming" edition that has a real GPU?)
Good, you just saved me from sounding like a dumbass in real life.
Any time I've been screening candidates I have taken this kind of thing into account.

If I was hiring an Android developer the fact that you have two Android apps would absolutely play into my decision process - it would increase the chance that you'd get to an interview, and I'd very likely ask about them during that interview.
>Any brain damage is much more impactful than you think.

True. I guess the endgame may be "dumbing down" the "intelligence agency".

Sometimes there is alternative medicine that has not really been tested. But a lot of alternative therapies—acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic—have been tested exhaustively by the scientific community and found to be either completely ineffective, marginally effective in some cases when combined with standard treatment, or even dangerous in the case of chiropractic.
I did say “almost always”. Also you showed (somewhat morally ambiguous haha) problem solving and resourcing—two highly sought after skills.

Let’s also not discount the fact that negotiation is a skill itself, and you were learning from your stepsister who sounds like a skilled negotiator. If you had to negotiate another raise in-person I would bet you could think back to the cards and knock it out.

Humans are incredibly varied and I don't doubt there are highly dedicated, passionate women sacrificing most of their life to attain singular goals. That's why there are enough women to have an entire women's league of most professional sports. If it were true that women tend to choose to lead more balanced lives to the point where entire leadership positions are almost completely bereft of women, there would be no female professional athletes, and certainly not enough to have leagues and teams of them. There would be no female dancers, and especially no female ballerinas.

I'm very confused by this argument.
OpenEBS is a plug-in too which opens up lots of options
Our service is not entirely scalable yet, as there is still quite a bit of manual work being done behind the curtain.

But the other larger concern is that many large accounts don’t necessarily post much original content. Or rather noisy content. Or they’re an organization, and not a person.

We want to do quality control over who gets indexed, at least initially.

Have you considered using a different tool for the job? Processing 3 millions rows of CVS sounds like a task that is more fitting for a small script than Excel/Google Sheet.

Google Sheet excels at many other tasks, but it's not a replacement for specialized tool (and it should not).
If you're submitting the same picture again and again then you might as well submit a cryptographically secure key (through some handshake, not necessarily uploading the key). If you're submitting images of the same physical object again and again, then you're in the domain of "is this match close enough". Deciding if something is close enough is non-trivial to compute and you end up leaking information about whatever you're taking pictures of.

Both cases seem worse than using a normal password or a more secure cryptographic key.

Russia and China easily have the resources to carry out clandestine ops around the world. Given that this seems to do with signals / electronics, it may not require particularly large teams or equipment.

I think many more countries could do this around the world... I'm not sure about Cuba, but maybe even yes.
In the article you state "you don’t have to put very much work at all into public creativity in order to stand out as a job candidate". This implies that when I am acting as a hiring manager I would be screening for "public creativity." I'm trying to understand why I would want to do that. I've been a hiring manager for well over a decade and it's never been something I thought I should screen for. Indeed, in my career the majority of the best coworkers I've had have had little to no public presence online and I can think of at least one counterexample of a person who was extremely prolific with blogging and giving talks at conferences who happened to be absolutely garbage at their role. There is some underlying assumption in this article that I'm not grokking.
Being able to write and communicate clearly is an important skill for software engineers, especially in senior roles - and it's something that's difficult to evaluate in an interview setting.

Interviews don't tend to include writing - and strong communicators who get nervous during interviewers may end up at a disadvantage.

This is an interesting post - though it saddens me. It seems modesty is going the way of the dodo. Though it leads to an interesting quandary - is it possible to have an online presence and still honestly call yourself a modest person?

To elaborate - my issue with this post is that it promotes the further commercialization of activity. If you’re doing it because you want to, then you would’ve done it already.

This post basically says, “hey, you - person who probably doesn’t do it, do it and you’ll have an advantage!” IMO it promotes further insincerity, not to imply that those who do have a presence are insincere.

Anecdotally similar happened to my step-father. He was working extra shifts, overtime etc. Died 6months before full pension. He never cashed a single check and my mom only got about 1/2 of what the full pension would have been worth (discounted value) because he passed "before retirement" .

This is part of why I'm so adamant that I think pensions and the like are scams. I want to run my portfolio and my next of kin can have every cent (less taxes)
