If you've been programming for years and can't get an entry level job, it might be that your presentation skills / communication skills are the weak link. Might be worth doing a mock interview with a professional whose job it is to help you get a job (you may have to pay them for their time) to make sure there's nothing obviously wrong with the way you are presenting yourself. As far as react goes, have you done work on front-end only or back-end as well? Do you have experience with databases and writing SQL? Getting a full-stack engineer role often requires less 'know this exact framework/language' if you can do some simple technical screens online where you can select from multiple languages or in-person via pseudocode.

When you say you can't get a job doing it, how many positions did you apply to? Even for a competitive candidate with a degree, you might have to send out 50 applications to get in pipeline with 10-15, ultimately end up with 2-3 offers.

Last, what country are you from?
Taxes are entirely beside the issue - that's between the original developer and the IRS. The Play Store policy has always been about in-app purchases, and few people would describe a donation as "purchasing" anything.
Ok then, people spending thousands of dollars to make their cars less fuel efficient and pollute more.

It’s the same point. That doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world. It’s ridiculous. But the fact it exists in the country with the largest per-person capita of CO2 emissions points to a huge underlying social problem that is unlikely to be fixed in the near future.
There is no scientific experiment in the canonical sense that could confirm it due to ethical concerns. Once it was accepted that aerosol transmission occurs, since it is a much easier form of transmission it's very easy to tag all infections as having occurred through aerosol.

Do all actually occur through aerosol? Some most likely happened like that, others may have been bigger droplets released talking or coughing, others may have been fomites from the droplets...

In my humble opinion, all of those forms occur. Viruses are passive things, they travel in respiratory secretions of any size big enough to contain them. They will lay there doing nothing until they get in contact with a target they can couple to and start replicating. It's better to think of contamination as a probabilistic event modulated by some factors, likely-hood of the event, resiliency of the virus outside of the body under the conditions that lead to the event, etc...

I highly doubt that the virus becomes incapable of infecting in a fomite in a doorknob, elevator button or keyboard. It may be unable to infect after a few hours but that should be plenty of time for an infection to occur.
This is a pathetic response. The CEO should be out there front and center with the press and the public explaining this. Having a VP do a spin interview with the (paywalled) WSJ and (mis)characterizing all the concerns as mere “confusion” is nonsense.

Privacy has been presented as a top-line feature by Apple for many years now. By announcing this feature they have betrayed any trust they may have built. The CEO remaining silent is the icing on the cake.

What value can Apple offer now? The Privacy story is done. Do they have anything else?
And that’s how you get a stack overflow.

Translating this corpspeak to plain language: "Apple regrets its own lack of integrity, but shareholders want more profits and gov wants more control, so Apple will return to this idea half a year later, rebranded as a tool to combat terrorism."

return lst[:start + 1], lst[start + 1:]

def get_mono_splits(lst):
while len(lst) >= 2:
if lst[0] == lst[1]:

lst = lst[1:]
else:
cmp = op.lt if lst[0] < lst[1] else op.gt
run, lst = mono_split(cmp, lst)
if cmp == op.gt:
run = list(reversed(run))
yield run
if len(lst) == 1:

The rate of change matters, it's a crucial factor. Typically when the climate changes it's over the course of thousands of years. This in contrast is a rapid change.

I'm also not sure what your point even is. "Climate change comes in both man-made and natural varieties?" Ok, and this time happens to be manmade, so maybe we should do something about it.

My apologies! Thank you for pointing this out.
And yet the best solution science has been able to come up with in all that time is that we should not eat meat or drive a car. Maybe the population in general will take it seriously when they're told to do more than engage in Puritanical self-flagellation about the evils of Western society.

What kind of single bug? How can a photo upload process suddenly impact random files on the filesystem?
I think it's healthy and necessary to make fun of fundamentalists - I think the issue comes when people make efforts at taking them seriously and give their platform a modicum of respect at a national level. The US has a severe issue with fundamentalist entrenchment in media and government at the moment and it's going to take a while to kick them all out. Evangelism is an extremist ideology that is causing ongoing harm to the stability of America in more ways than just the abortion debate.

As I've aged I think I've drifted more and more toward the french view of religious freedom - rather than freedom of religion, freedom from religion.
For almost every issue you can find at least one highly educated person that thinks otherwise.

If you think something is "controversial" because one person thinks otherwise, we would never land at anything.

Look at their arguments and proofs. If you don't have time to examine those, look at their credentials and motivations.

Michael Chrichton was a writer and filmmaker. Not a climate resarcher.
My reading of the exit tax is it is merely paying all the taxes on any gains that you have made but have yet to pay. For example if you have bought stock but not sold it you would be taxed on the gains you made. This applies to real-estate and other holdings as well.

To me this makes sense it is like you paying your final taxes before leaving as such I don't see how it is anything additional but I could very well be mistaken.
>I was told I had no idea how viruses work (this is true enough - I don't have a degree in biology) but still felt extremely gaslit.

Similarly, on New Year's Eve 2015 I saw mention of the Cologne mass attacks on women by refugees as they were occurring on, yes, 4chan/pol/, and checked /r/worldnews and /r/europe to find out more. I didn't see anything, and assumed that it was another /pol/ "it's happening" dank maymayism. I only later realized that German media and those subreddits' mods had all worked to suppress news of the attacks until they could no longer be ignored.

(Cue "/pol/ was right" couplet)
yes, and they should be sued for false advertising
They haven't deployed it yet.
It's not. Ice core isotope evidence gives you resolution all the way down to a year or two. We're seeing a first derivative of temperature that is simply unattested in any of that data. Or any other data source, honestly.

It's true that over thousand year timescales the earth has seen excursions larger than this. We have no evidence anywhere for anything happening this fast in the climate other than large impact events.
> "Regardless of keyboard type, key switches are mechanically imperfect and are subject to contact bounce..."

This is completely not true. For example, my Riskeyboard 70 (https://gfycat.com/alienatedflatcanvasback) analog hall effect keyboard does not have contact bounce. This is because it's entirely analog and contactless.

Instead what it uses is programmed hysteresis: You can set your own completely arbitrary point of actuation as well as the `release_threshold` (it's in the config). The way it works is like this: Once you go past the point of actuation (a certain amount of millivolts changed from the resting value) that is considered a keypress but it won't consider it a keyrelease until you go past the original point of actuation plus whatever the release threshold is.

So if your resting mV (from the analog hall effect sensor) is 2000, your actuation threshold is 250, and your release threshold is 50 a keypress would work like this:

* Physical key is pressed and as it moves down the length of travel the mV reading from the sensor changes (goes up or down depending on the pole of the magnet).
* Once the difference from the resting value is greater than the actuation threshold (250) that's considered a keypress. At this point the sensor would be reading 1750 (the point of actuation).
* If the user kept the key pressed exactly at the point of actuation there's a chance that the keypress could "bounce" because the mV value goes up and down ("voltage wobble") on its own depending on the noise on the PCB and in the environment.
* The user releases the key and once the mV reading goes above 1750+*<release_threshold>* (1750+50) the key is considered released and a keyrelease event is sent.

My keyboard uses an STM32F401CEU6 running at 84MHz. The ADC runs at half that (42MHz) and is setup to read all 72 sensors (70 keys + an analog rotary encoder built into the PCB) in 0.160ms. It does this every millisecond to meet the USB spec's 1000Hz polling rate.

I assume the other analog keyboards feature similar methods and would have greatly reduce latency over traditional mechanical keyboards.

For reference (only) I have uploaded the Riskeyboard 70 firmware to github if you're curious to see how it all works (it's written in Rust): https://github.com/riskable/riskeyboard70/

The keyboard uses 3D printed Void Switches (my magnetic separation design). Chyrosran22 did a teardown video recently going over the switches and their parametric nature here: https://youtu.be/H_Ym9528awM
You do realize that Google is not the government? What do taxes have to do with anything?

Yes. Our engineering team is pretty large.

We do have a technical writers team. But they write our public API documentation.

Internal tooling docs are written by the engineers themselves.
Wow, I had no idea this was a thing. Not to distract from the thread, but thanks for sharing!
Detecting Semantic Drift Within Image Data: Monitoring Context-Full Data
I bet most of the people reading these comments could actually write such a script in under 30 minutes, it has nothing to do with AI.

Edit: To be fair I can't imagine a situation where it would ever make sense. The link-depth in this case was 2. This is just bad behavior on the part of Google.
Maybe what you fear, in this case, is actually real
> Milder winters will save more lives than will be lost in hotter summers.

Ecological collapse brought on by adding stress to a system already stressed the hell out by decades of rapid change, however, would probably kill a lot more lives than any saved.
A similar concept is explored in the sci-fi novel Hole, by Brandon Q. Morris.

I'd give it a 3/5 - fun read, not a classic.

If your skill set is primarily around JS, you may have better luck targeting:

- full-stack positions with a Node backend. Their hiring process may be less frontend framework specific

- positions with more than one front-end framework in their stack. They will usually care more about a more general skill set
Wow, "fracking helped the environment" is certainly a take I haven't seen before.

I think it's ridiculous to say Biden and Trump are the same on climate. Biden is pushing through a bunch of climate stuff on the bipartisan infrastructure bill, and hopefully will get even more in the reconciliation bill.

Words _do_ matter, because the threat of serious climate legislation makes companies shift in a direction where said legislation won't completely destroy them. Read this piece to see more:

The "confusion" is splitting hairs. Federighi is trying to draw an artificial distinction between client-side scanning and in-transit scanning where the code performing that in-transit scanning merely happens to be running... on the client.

That would be the Motorola Museum at the Galvin Center (which was their employee training facility). Whenever I went there for my 6-sigma or 5-nines training, I'd take a stroll through the museum and thought it was cool, but sad that it was mostly accessible only to Motorola employees and invited guests (since you needed an access badge to get on campus). I always wondered why they didn't have the museum face a public parking lot with public access.
Probably since humans started recording? Doesn’t seem that misleading to me.
That would only be a reasonable analogy if the electricians did all their work in one facility for one company. One can argue that Google is the employer in this case because the contractors have never worked for Modis in the same capacity in any other facility. Trade contractors ply their trade for many different clients on different projects. It’s distinguishable from this type of arrangement.

The “contractors” in question here have a supervisor at Google, and the pay they receive is from Google via Modis. If Modis didn’t exist to be the contracting party the employees would be indistinguishable from full time employees under Google’s employ. Arguing that the contracting relationship is all that is needed to justify this is like arguing that I can form an LLC to hold my assets and receive my salary to avoid personal income tax.
Where do the hashes come from? I assume the system is designed to minimize the number of people who have to look at the CP, but how do they audit that someone isn't inserting hashes to look for dissidents?
Proudly! His policy positions resulted in us being energy independent, reformed our prisons, and ended the forever-wars. Then there's the vaccine that Democrat leadership advised their constituents not to take. The Trump haters believe that an election should be a popularity contest, and not a contest of policy and ideas.

The "client side" CSAM detection involves a literal person in the middle examining suspected matches. The combination of that and whatever you think true E2E means isn't E2E by definition.
It’s not about looking ‘kind of similar’. The point is to match images that have been resized or had contrast enhanced etc. That’s all.
> It's not just ordinary stupid people. I've known people with advanced degrees who ostensibly make a living making predictions who don't believe it. Sometimes their arguments get very very intricate. There's just so many layers to the onion it's impossible to do in a conversation, rather than say an essay.

> Yes some people will die, yes some will severely sick but that is a risk I'm willing to accept for normal life.

Everyone who says this should include their estimate of their own personal risk.

It's easy to shrug off other people's risk.

The 80 year old who says I've only got a few years left probably, and I want to enjoy it, despite knowing they're higher risk? I've got a lot of respect for that viewpoint.

The 30 year old who thinks they have a minuscule chance of really being harmed, and just thinks masks are uncomfortable or awkward? When did we become so fragile about comfort? (Cloth masks are ineffective, you say? Great, let's push for N95 distribution and mandates. I'll sign your petition immediately for that.)
Motorola wasn't just some cellphone company. The car radio went into production there after Galvin hired Wavering and Lear. He later changed the name of the company to name it after that product. The automotive alternator was invented there (by Wavering). They made the 6800, 6809, 68k, and POWER/PowerPC processor lines used in various lines of Apple, Tandy, Sun, Amiga (later Commodore Amiga), SGI, HP, IBM, Momentum, and Raptor Engineering computers (the POWER/PowerPC was a partnership with IBM and Apple but largely designed at Motorola). Neil Armstrong spoke into a Motorola transceiver from the moon.

Motorola broke up into way more than two companies over time. It sold its TV business to Matsushita in 1974. Motorola bought General Instruments and became the largest builder of set-top devices in the world and also spun off ON Semiconductor in 1999. Later this home products division would largely end up sold to Arris. Freescale Semiconductor split off in 2003 then later merged into NXP in 2015. Further spinoffs and department selloffs include Iridium, what became General Dynamics Decision Systems, and Cambium Networks.

I can also see how legislation would worsen the situation by eliminating incentives for people to use alternative mobile stores and operating systems.

It's not either or, we need both. It will never be more efficient to pull CO2 from the atmosphere then it is to just prevent it from getting there in the first place, so cutting emissions is still the bottleneck
That is a fascinating nationalization of private space that did not exist 15 years ago. Was every politician prior to Twitter's ascendance effectively banned from communicating with the public?

Fanatics also have a tendency to try to latch onto whatever details may offer a respite from the narrative. The core problem here is that Apple is effectively putting code designed to inform the government of criminal activity on the device. It’s a bad precedent.

Apple gave its legendary fan base a fair few facts to latch onto; the first being that it’s a measure against child abuse, which can be used to equate detractors to pedophile apologists or simply pedophiles (these days, more likely directly to the latter.) Thankfully this seems cliché enough to have not been a dominant take. Then there’s the fact that right now, it only runs in certain situations where the data would currently be unencrypted anyways. This is extremely interesting because if they start using E2EE for these things in the future, it will basically be uncharted territory, but what they’re doing now is only merely lining up the capability to do that and not actually doing that. Not to mention, these features have a tendency to expand in scope in the longer term. I wouldn’t call it a slippery slope, it’s more like an overton window of how much people are OK with a surveillance state. I’d say Americans on the whole are actually pretty strongly averse to this, despite everything, and it seems like this was too creepy for many people. Then there’s definitely the confusion; because of course, Apple isn’t doing anything wrong; everyone is just confusing what these features do and their long-term implications.

Here’s where I think it backfired: because it runs on the device, psychologically it feels like the phone is not trustworthy of you. And because of that, using anti-CSAM measures as a starting point was a Terrible misfire, because to users, it just feels like your phone is constantly assuming you could be a pedophile and need to be monitored. It feels much more impersonal when a cloud service does it off into the distance for all content.

In practice, the current short-term outcome doesn’t matter so much as the precedent of what can be done with features like this. And it feels like pure hypocrisy coming from a company whose CEO once claimed they couldn’t build surveillance features into their phones because of pressures for it to be abused. It was only around 5 years ago. Did something change?

I feel like to Apple it is really important that their employees and fans believe they are actually a principled company who makes tough decisions with disregard for “haters” and luddites. In reality, though, I think it’s only fair to recognize that this is just too idealistic. Between this, the situation with iCloud in China, and the juxtaposition of their fight with the U.S. government, one can only conclude that Apple is, after all, just another company, though one whose direction and public relations resonated with a lot of consumers.

A PR misfire from Apple of this size is rare, but I think what it means for Apple is big, as it shatters even some of the company’s most faithful. For Google, this kind of misfire would’ve just been another Tuesday. And I gotta say, between this and Safari, I’m definitely not planning on my next phone being from Cupertino.
> Apple will absolutely check images on your device.

Yes, they will check the images you have chosen to upload. No ‘scanning is involved’.

Claiming this is ‘scanning users devices’ is just dishonest - it’s obvious that it creates a false dichotomy impression of what they are actually doing.

Don’t do that.
