It took me a moment to get what you're talking about.

I notice such advertisement from time to time, but it's so unobstructive that I almost like them.

Yes, they put advertising where it doesn't bother me and where it doesn't slow down page loading.

That's brilliant.

Thank you for pointing that out!
> Part of the problem here is that many Protestants are ignorant of the fact that the majority of Christians have a bigger Bible than they do. Relatedly, many Protestants are ignorant of the fact that Protestants are a minority of Christians.

Do you have a citation for this claim? Most protestant Christians I've met are aware of the apocrypha, they just do not consider them canonical, in the same way they do not consider the various Islamic additions to the Judeo-Christian tradition to be part of their religion. From my anecdotal experience, I do not think it is any more common for a protestant to be unaware that certain extra books are included in Catholic/Eastern Orthodox Bibles than it is for a catholic/eastern orthodox to be unaware that protestants exclude those same books.

Squabble was spot on – "The Bible" is different things to different people. When you buy a bible in a book store and it does not include Deuterocanonical books, it is not usually referred to specifically as "The Protestant Bible" – it is just called "The Bible". So it does not seem necessary for this API to do that either lest it incur your complaints.

Yeah, I'd argue that this hasn't changed during/due to the pandemic.

Gravitating towards people you know happened already even in an in-person setting.

The difference is lack of opportunities outside of core work to engage with others and getting to know them, i.e. there are fewer and less diverse forcing functions. In the past it was getting lunch together a few times, now maybe the only forcing function is your manager assigning you to work or as a mentor, etc. Which is not as effective IMO to build healthy same-level relationships.
> I've applied at probably 3-4 dozen places through my school's job board over the past month and have received zero responses

I'm assuming you were qualified enough for those positions if they came through a school board. Any idea what the competition was? Could you reach out to those companies again and ask for some feedback? If you've sent so many applications and got no response at all I could see 3 potential problems - there is a major power outage, the local market is ridiculously crowded (maybe plain crap) or there is something wrong with your application that doesn't even get you a screening call.

Apart from the above, and with all the great advice from other posters, I'd suggest to create a LinkedIn profile and start building a network asap for a bit more of an outbound personal marketing.

Don't only connect with people who work in hiring but also with other more senior software engineers - they usually have established networks that you will be able to access if you post anything. Ask a couple of them if you could get a review of your CV / some advice on the market, you might learn a lot from them. While not everyone will agree to your request, you'd be surprised how helpful and kind strangers are.

Once you think your network and CV is sufficient, drop a post saying what you do and what kind of work are you looking for. Then reach out to those connections you added previously and ask if they could hit 'Like for more exposure' - this will bump up your posting in feeds of their networks. Adding this method to my past job hunts has been an awesome boost and got me great gigs that I wouldn't even know existed, pretty simple yet effective.

> I'm afraid because I haven't bothered to work on mastering any of them

Try at least one - it's not a waste of time even if you end up using something else on the job. I'd pick something popular (javascript and friends maybe) to increase your chances of getting through the first interviews.

> employer wouldn't wanna take the risk on me being able to learn their stack.

That is probably slightly true but in my opinion the point of an internship is to learn. I wouldn't hire an intern and expect them to be experts. Technology changes very often and even senior engineers have to learn new stuff on the job too. Very rarely people who just graduated have all the knowledge and know the exact stack in and out. Don't let this slow down your efforts.

Good luck!

You may be objectively correct, but if it weren't for nationalism, my culture wouldn't exist today and I would have been a German, as would have been my ancestors for more than a century. Just because something is "artificial and pointless" doesn't mean that it's bad.
"<<"'s meaning in C++ is never "write to standard output". That is the output streams overloading the operator for their own operations. Similarly, you can write operator<< for your classes to mean whatever. The original meaning of "<<" has always been left shift.
> I've applied at probably 3-4 dozen places through my school's job board over the past month and have received zero responses.

Potential reality check - over a decade ago, with some non-trivial experience I sent out my CV to 200+ places and got maybe 5 responses. Don't stop - you'll find something, but these days it may be even harder. Don't limit yourself to the school's job board. (that's where you get a guarantee of competition with similar skills)

> I'm afraid because I haven't bothered to work on mastering any of them that an employer wouldn't wanna take the risk on me being able to learn their stack.

Don't worry. If you can make a working Hello World on your own, you're already better than quite a few graduates. It's extremely uncommon to get someone just joining the workforce who is close to mastering any tech. If that's the direction you enjoy, just add to your application that you're trying to be a generalist. It's a valid idea. Unless you're joining a (for example) a specialised 100% C#/WPF consulting group, even senior people are pretty much expected to learn more of the stack on the job. (and the stack is expected to change)

> How can I stand out to recruiters and employers?

Are there any tech meetups which are currently safe to attend in your area? If so, see which companies attend there, check out their tech - maybe you can show you're interested while chatting to someone there.

Also if you have anything interesting to share there's often a chance to present and stick a "btw, I'm looking for a job" slide at the end. (just don't be a dick about it - the talk needs to be actually worth doing)

> If there is no difference between reality and a simulation

That's the crux, I guess. There's this ‘Matrix’ idea that the universe might be a simulation, but here we have a much weaker, more plausible property; I would describe it as: could real-world processes be simulated exactly? That's what I meant by ‘can be run on a Turing machine’: is the organism equivalent to a simulated version.

Two quick addenda:

(i) This doesn't require the hypothetical Turing machine to exist; as you said, it's an abstract idea. In the strict sense, where it can have potentially unlimited memory, a Turing machine can't exist in the real world. Even so, we can ask whether an entity that has wants/needs/desires can exist in a Turing machine in theory. If yes, it's easier to show that it can exist in practice, in reality.

(ii) Maybe physics is non-deterministic and the equivalent mathematical model requires a non-deterministic Turing machine or something else still. But whatever physics does can be done by a physical computer; I believe there's nothing a natural person can think that can't in principle also be thought by an artificial machine.

There has got to be a difference between the pain a real ER patient feels and the simulation a training dummy for medical students is running. It's just so hard to come up with a clear definition of that difference. Let's try something simpler.

Elmo isn't really giggling. But I think it's possible for a digital circuit to ‘get’ a joke. Or, indeed, to be ticklish.

As shkkmo mentioned, one could just postulate the existence of a ‘soul’ and be done with it. I'd prefer something more rigorous; something falsifiable.

I've disabled SIP since day one and stick to 10.14. I urge others to disable SIP if they're developers -- each crash report includes its status and as you need it turned off to be able to debug everything, it sends a signal to apple reminding them to not shut the gate on their walled garden.

I may have a few answers here. Or at least datapoints.

Context: in Europe, right now shopping around for a preseed. Realistic target at 500k-1M range but could go higher. We have a bootstrapped MVP but no client yet. B2B, devops kind of tool.

1. Rn with the current market, 500k pay for a team of 4 for a year. Nothing else. That is the reality of market price for tech jobs. In a B2B environment that will limit your sales heavily but let you polish the product and onboard some users. Reaching for less make no sense. You would pay under market rate for only 3 to 6 months. Noone will accept that offer.

2. The cost of bootstrapping are really low. If you get offers smaller than that, better not take in investment and grow at the pace you would have had anyway.

3. I totally agree that Round A and bigger are totally out of whack. In the current environment making money, at least b2b, should be easy.

4. The problem here is that... most of the current tech is not trying to be a giant. As you said. And we have a lack of financial products for that. So you have to keep in mind that the VC landscape is quite separated from what they fund. We have mostly products that will be profitable but not products that will become giants. And VC still finance late rounds as if they were.

5. Also there is a looot of money available in late rounds. LP give a looot to these, from institutional org. So you get a natural inflation. Which mean you do not finance on fundamentals. You finance on being able to interest these big funds in later rounds

6. To raise a pre-seed or seed right now means i would need to work for 3 months full time pitching. People with a working product can't do that. So you get the "grifters"

So yeah. All in all we are losing a funding system for products with the kind of fundamentals you talk about. Cost of starting have reduced... so bootstrapping them and ignoring the VC landscape is easier. Sadly. There is some hope for new financial products but not high here.

Ritalin (methylphenidate) has an effect on one type of serotonin receptors. Most physicians are unaware of this, and, indeed, many think that methylphenidate is an amphetamine derivative, which is not the case.

For many people, d-amphetamine or cannabis are better treatments with less side effects.

Yes, "common on carrier devices" doesn't mean "every device has it". It's more common on some carriers - e.g. I had a lot of fun times getting Verizon test devices to work in Europe because they wanted to activate on CDMA network (non-existent on the continent) as part of their setup process.

These locks have started to become less and less common these days though.

i agree with at least the part about people being able to basically rationalize anything (myself included), and the willingness of institutions (say, the US government during the Turkish Missile Crisis -- aka the Cuban Missile Crisis) to risk blowing up the world just to save face (fortunately JFK eventually backed down).

in the case of GAI, i think it's relatively low on the totem pole of 'things that will probably end advanced human civilization on earth for at least the next several thousand years'.

if we were divvying up the top causes among the 100% pie of likelihood of ending us, it'd probably be:

climate 97%
nukes 2%
gai 1%

i think some small parts of advanced civilization might continue through the worst of climate collapse - mass death, starvation, war, migration, etc. - with climate catastrophes acting as a de facto carbon tax on human life/industry.

but most people in the world are trying make their rent for next month, pay their bills, feed their kids, etc. -- not worrying about the polar bears, rising sea levels, etc.

Azure claim a bunch of standards, inc the various ISO, SOC, etc as well as claiming HIPAA et al. Now, I haven't checked this service is in scope, but I would presume it is.

Given such an obvious piece of external evidence that the IMS has failed (not keeping the software up to date, internal audit not detecting the software is out of date,etc, all the way through to an external incident occurring due to this failure) you have to wonder whether there should be some greater repercussion/ outcome than just "we fixed the vuln".

I would very much want to hear what they're doing to fix eg. the internal audit. Root cause on this is a management failure.

Story on Wave Money: Stripe's Second Investment in Africa
I moved to an EMEA position inside Microsoft (on the consulting side) in early 2020 and simply cannot relate to this paper.

My entire org was distributed (manager and skip were European and in two different locations from mine), all my work was remote, team coordination happened entirely over Teams and we generated tons of content.

Yes, the first few months _dealing with other teams_ (especially country-based ones) were messy, but most of my team had been working remotely (and internationally) for years, so we did not experience the kind of disconnect mentioned in the paper. We took the time to do team 1:1s, had informal chats going for days, etc.

I am now moving to a Worldwide position, still working from Europe. My new manager is in the Americas and my skip in the UK. It is a quite normal arrangement in our line of work.

So, in a nutshell, I don’t think this paper reflects what it’s like to work remotely at Microsoft at all. It _might_ be a good sample of the US portion, but it is extremely limited: “the period of time over which we measured the causal effects of remote work are quite short (three months)”
I once made a bet that most people know what a prime number is, being sure that at least for my closest environment of 5-7 highly educated people it is undoubtedly true. A bet was lost after a quick asking round - I’ve got only a couple of confident answers. But what hit me hard was not that the specific term was forgotten, but that most of them were not even familiar with the concept.

Another thing I figured out too late is that after someone (not me) explains a complex topic to a group, everyone seems to agree by silence and ready to get to work on it. But my habit of asking if they understand the terms A and B and how it all works made me discover that essentially nobody gets it. People just don’t ask questions and delay their research for some reason. A thought that maybe they do that all the time in every situation or conversation is pretty discomforting.
Is there any doubt that there is an over-consumption of medical products? This is not just limited to nursing homes or mental institutions. The chronic consumption of pain killers, sleeping pills, anti depressants etc is seems endemic to developed countries.

Of course there's the angle of financial incentives, but to me it seems that modern society has chosen the easy path to deal with the health implications of our modern way of life - namely popping pills - instead of taking a hard look at our health problems and working toward long term sustainable solutions, especially for environmental problems.

The current COVID-19 crisis is a case in point. I'll risk being ground to a pulp by the HN community and say that IMO vaccines are one solution but not necessarily the best. To date they have provided neither herd immunity (very hard to reach on a global scale), nor long term protection (look at Israel).

A better solution would be providing a better environment - cleaner air and water, a less stressful life style, and better integration of human habitats with natural ecosystems. We know that the virus kills mostly people with pre existing conditions. A better long term treatment would have been to reduce those pre existing conditions - diabetes, obesity, heart and lung diseases. This can be done through better food, less work, more physical activity, and even more social involvement.

Sadly, modern society demands short term gratification over long term sustainable sobriety.
