Property is one of the most secure, consistent and reliable investment asset classes that people can invest their money into (best demonstrated over the past 12 months across the world with ever-increasing house prices).However, getting into property requires lots of time, lots of contacts and most importantly, lots of capital. MyBricks allows people to invest in property without those exceptionally high barriers by allowing MyBricks users to contractually own a fractional amount of a property for all to see on the blockchain. We're lowering that barrier to entry by making it more affordable for the average investor.
The whole process of having to get a positive reference to change employer, really seems quite backward, almost evoking a slave-owning system.

I understand that it can be useful input to a hiring decision, but there are surely better ways to obtain that validation.

Pretty sure FB doesn't rely on just IP address to locate its users.
There are a lot of comments saying not to quit until you've got a signed contract. In my career, in the US, I've had 10 jobs. All but one of them were "at-will" contracts that didn't require the employer giving any notice or reason to end the relationship. In fact, one did so on the first day. So I'm not sure that a signed contract is a guarantee of anything these days, at least in the US.
American Christianity has deeply influenced the remnants of Christianity that are left in Western Europe, the Evangelical movement first crossed the Atlantic all the way back in the 1920s.

That's a little misleading. If you write the same program in idiomatic C++ and Python then it's almost guaranteed that the C++ version will be much much faster even before you have done any profiling or performance optimisation. So there is some magic pixie dust.

As far as I know though, tree sitter has problems with really long lists and even incremental parsing gets slower linearly when extending the list.

Also, to my knowledge, tree sitter cannot move nodes around (which is also very hard for languages that are not as simple as the Dyck language [1]).

What kind of proof mechanism are you talking about? Do you mean PoW can prevent an attacker spawning many identities? That's certainly not the case, because bad actors have plenty of resources.

PGP signatures + Web of Trust have been in use for about two decades now and have proved robust over time (can't say the same of all PGP implementations unfortunately), but at the cost of revealing (parts of) the social graph which is an anti-feature for privacy.

I've heard the word Fog of Trust employed by GNU/Net project to refer to research projects on zero-knowledge proofs for a Web of Trust, so you can infer trust relationships without exposing the social graph. But i can't vet for the math behind that.

I'd be happy to have more alternative patterns explored, instead of insisting on the aspects that made Bitcoin a failure. Bitcoin was a revolutionary PoC for replacing centralized trust with trust in the majority of global computing resources allocated to the network. But that model has shown its limits and weaknesses (high economic/environmental cost, vulnerability to advanced actors like Bitmain, low transaction throughput) so we can research other approaches.

So far, the most advanced/consistent proposal i've read on decentralized identity, which is not based on monetary speculation or proof-of-work, is the GNU Name System [0], which features recursive resolution of zones (retro-compatible with DNS) via a global DHT, crypto-secure zone delegation (retrofittable into existing ICANN infrastructure), hyper-hyper local root (like /etc/hosts but with recursive resolution), query privacy (client requests don't leak), enumeration-proof zones (private zone entries).

Alongside the reclaim:ID [1] self-sovereign identity scheme, that looks like the most solid proposal for replacing both insecure DNS infrastructure and cracking the decentralized identity problem. Alongside the Taler [2] privacy-friendly payment platform, that looks like the most solid proposal for enabling fully-decentralized pseudonymous electronic transactions.

Yeah I agree, assuming that everyone thinks the same way as academics is "echo chamber" thinking. "If I had access, I would read the literature, therefore they would also read the literature if they had access". The people who barely passed high school and share "covid hoax" memes don't give a shit about the literature, there are a lot more of them than there are us, and politicians are increasingly willing to humor them.
If a company asks you to resign you job and then conditionally offers you a job based upon your current manager's recommendation, that's a major red flag. Walk away. I would never put someone's employment in that type of limbo.

To me, that just shows that the new employer does not value people. Employees are just object to be managed.

Also, its hard in the US to get a legit work contract an an employee - its all "at will" labor. If you really a solid guarantee, become a 1099 contractor and get a contract for services, where there are the three main components - an offer of payment, an offer to supply labor and a signed agreement by both parties.

From https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/#design-goals

Decentralization | Eliminate the requirement for centralized authorities or single point failure in identifier management, including the registration of globally unique identifiers, public verification keys, services, and other information.
Control | Give entities, both human and non-human, the power to directly control their digital identifiers without the need to rely on external authorities.
Privacy | Enable entities to control the privacy of their information, including minimal, selective, and progressive disclosure of attributes or other data.
Security | Enable sufficient security for requesting parties to depend on DID documents for their required level of assurance.
Proof-based | Enable DID controllers to provide cryptographic proof when interacting with other entities.
Discoverability | Make it possible for entities to discover DIDs for other entities, to learn more about or interact with those entities.
Interoperability | Use interoperable standards so DID infrastructure can make use of existing tools and software libraries designed for interoperability.
Portability | Be system- and network-independent and enable entities to use their digital identifiers with any system that supports DIDs and DID methods.
Simplicity | Favor a reduced set of simple features to make the technology easier to understand, implement, and deploy.
Extensibility | Where possible, enable extensibility provided it does not greatly hinder interoperability, portability, or simplicity.

In short, if the large platforms like Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft et al started using DIDs, we could start using logins across platforms instead of creating new accounts for each one.

Basically, the specification is trying to come up with a way of offering federated authentication ala OpenID, but without locking down the storage mechanism of the ID itself.

For those using these maps to determine the service you can expect from an MVNO operating on these providers, beware.

I've been using Google Fi and tried a few others with Visible being the one that I found to be the most difficult to sort out. Visible uses Verizon's network (IIRC, they're owned by Verizon). In the thumb of Michigan, there's a large spot at the tip that Verizon post-paid customers have service (via the Extended Network[0]) but Visible does not. In fact, Lexington and Port Huron, with about a 5 mile buffer, were the only places service functioned similarly to home (albeit LTE rather than 5G) where coverage is solid. And it's not a matter of "there was really poor/slow/spotty service", there was simply nothing from just north of Lexington up M-25 to Port Austin and for much of M-59 from Armada to Port Austin[1].

Over the summer that I had this service, my mental model of the map would have the entire thumb empty with a few bursts of service over a some of the more populated areas, much like T-Mobile indicates. And that's curious -- the T-Mobile map looks a whole lot more like I'd expect for most of the service. Even the post-paid Verizon/AT&T service isn't great in a lot of places -- effectively or actually no service, but according to AT&T and Verizon's maps, I should be working almost everywhere.

[0] Which, if I understand things correctly, is Verizon buying service from someone else.

[1] We hit the dark sky park in Port Austin using Waze which caused me to pay closer attention, one route up, one route back; on M-25, I'd pick up service briefly enough to get a routing update but it sat "looking for service" with the circle/slash (No) symbol matching it. On M-59, it was dead except for Sandusky.

Most sensible companies these days will only do one of the following:

Providing more information, especially in non-US countries where employment and privacy law is on the side of the employee is only inviting the opening of cans of worms.

>, that you can access research papers for free simply by reaching out to the authors and that many if not most of them are willing to provide said papers upon request.

Yes but in most cases, the authors are only legally allowed to give away the less desirable pre-prints manuscripts that was created for journal submission. The publishers allow them to retain the copyright to their draft work. However, the copyright to the final journal article with all the nice typesetting, pretty graphs, etc is assigned to the publisher. That more desirable finished article is the one behind the paywall.

(That's not to say that some authors "break the rules" and share the final journal article instead of their preprint but that's going to depend on the particular author.)

Also, how many tensions were solved because of evangelism and a shift in cultural/moral values? Can you quantify those?

Of course the usually litany of “don’t leave your current job without securing the next one.”

Actually you can't "sanitize" inputs as you can't know upfront in which context this data will end up.

So the rule is: Never try to "sanitize" inputs, always sanitize outputs respective to output-context.

This candidate was lulled into violating one of the rules of interviewing: Never say anything bad about your current employer, manager, team, or company.

> I simply told the HR person that my previous boss and I didn’t have a good relationship, and that I could not rely on her for a reference.

If a company presses for a reference from your current employer and you don’t think it would help, simply decline. Most people can point to non-solicit clauses in their employment contracts that disallow employees from recruiting or facilitating employees from being hired away from the company.

Whatever you do, don’t volunteer information that you were not in the good graces of your manager. That’s a warning sign that something might have been wrong or that the employee is problematic.

Offer alternative references or give excuses that the reference isn’t allowed due to non-solicit. But don’t volunteer an implied negative reference on behalf of the person most recently familiar with your work performance.

This specific story doesn’t entirely make sense, though. If the employee already quit their previous job and had an offer that was contingent upon a reference from the previous manager then it doesn’t make sense to continue to withhold the reference. Withholding the reference is the only 100% way to lose the job offer. They should have at least had a conversation with the previous manager and asked for a good reference for a non-zero chance that the manager would help them out. It doesn’t make sense to choose the only guaranteed option to lose the job offer.

It’s not a guarantee (although what in life is?), but it’s definitely safer than resigning based on a pending offer contingent on your now-previous manager’s reference. The US really needs stronger labor protections.

In the opening paragraph you state that the GIL prevents speeding up CPU-intensive code by distributing the work among multiple threads.

My understanding is that distributing work across multiple threads would not speed up CPU-intensive code anyways. In fact it would add overhead due to threading.

Perhaps you meant I/O bound code?
Some municipalities mandate growth rates on residential leases be capped (say, 12%).

If as a landlord you took the chance and overpriced your property, it might sit empty, and the kind of tenant who eventually takes it is the kind of tenant who will find a better deal once they have the time to look around.

And leases are contracts, so they have lag times before the rules change for any individual renter.
I think employment contracts often exist but only lay out rules (agreement to use arbitration, assignment of IP, NDA, agreeing to not bring class action suits, ...) and explicitly lay out that employment is at-will. You can sign a large and complex document in which the prospective employee agrees to be bound by a bunch of restrictions but is not actually established as an employee.
