That kinda buries the lede there. I imagine that type of defense (being able to have input on whether or how cameras are employed) would seem pretty sweet to a bunch of Amazon drivers right now.

Now as far as the urinating in batter? Abhorrent, and disgusting. Totally worth a firing or severance with cause. Contract's a contract though. You catch that sort of thing, when you're doing something you've promised specifically not to do, you better bloody have an alternate way of acting on it.

Also, I'd need deets. I'd actually not be convinced of a breach if the work was being done somewhere with a security camera and somebody caught him doing so on unrelated footage. There's a difference between "here's your company issued camera to surveil yourself" and "WTF the security guy was reviewing some footage for something else, what the hell do you think you're doing?!"

It's called good faith. Not everyone has it, and it leads to some shitty behavior, but it is what it is. No reason to demonize a union over.

I don't think meritocracy is a deep concept aside from promoting fairness as it was originally meant to be. The irony that some people complained about a certain github rug in the name of women was quite funny though.

I do prefer it to anything around DEI, but it isn't really something that has any deeper meaning. It meant fairness to people, some people didn't like that.

I'm an amateur myself, so obviously take what I say with a grain of salt. Also I'm interpreting what you're saying is general weight/strength training but not body building (think Arnold Schwarzenegger).

Plainly put, there is isn't a super fast way. My understanding and experience is that muscle is developed over time with progressively more difficult weight. Critically, the recovery period for your muscles is required as that's when new muscle is being formed. I believe that rushing that process is what is most likely to lead to an injury, which funny enough will slow you down in the quest for strength. In other words, a heavy 6 day/week workout won't make you strong, but simply constantly exhausted.

I would advocate for the long slow road. There's no rush, and I believe you'll be stronger in the long run if you take your time. It's easier to handle mentally too in my opinion. You don't have to stress about going fast to be strong quickly. Enjoy it!

If you think weight lifting sounds cool, take up a program like Starting Strength or Strong Lifts 5x5. 3 days a week, often doing squats and throwing in bench press, dead lifts, and barbell rows. Take your time here! Look up videos on techniques and realize that people will be absolutists about form. Try and match the form, and be aware of different body types and how that will change the forms. Do this for a few cycles which would last 2-4 months. Assess your progress. It will be easy to tell because you'll be writing down your progress and adding weight each time you successfully complete a day. As it gets too difficult to maintain, look into new programs and go from there.

If you're not into weight training, I think a site like this is great. You'll want to scale back on how many reps/sets a bit, and study some techniques. You'll feel some changes over time, and in the beginning mostly a bit of confusing soreness.

Anyway, that's my recommendation! I genuinely hope you find what works for you and stick with it!

Certifications were the MOCs of their day. They were good for motivating and organizing your study of a topic. Unfortunately, while MOCs tend to stick to knowledge with proven value, certifications indoctrinate you into the ideas underlying the issuing company's technology, even if it is dubious and unproven. For instance, at the turn of the century, Sun's programming certifications were all about their Java Enterprise ideas that now we're all quite happy to have left behind. I took the Java Certified Web Developer exam way back in 2001 or so, and while it did cover fundamentals of HTTP and cookies and a little bit of the state of web security for the time, most of it was about Sun's ridiculous (in hindsight) web technologies like JSP.

The way the content of the exams came about was, Sun's super smart engineers thought really hard about questions like, "How can we build enterprise-scale software predictably and reliably in the future?" They came up with some ideas that seemed self-evidently true, turned them into a design orthodoxy, built massive technologies and frameworks to enable/enforce them, launched it with a tidal wave of marketing that is hard to imagine now, published hundreds of pounds of books, and created a system of certification exams all before getting enough experience with the technology to realize, "Gosh, we thought this would be a good way to build enterprise systems, but it really isn't." If you got a Java enterprise certification around the year 2000, it largely consisted of indoctrination into ideas that were about to be tossed into the dustbin of history.

At the time, I would have taken any job I got, and getting more Sun certifications like their Enterprise Architect certification (which meant you could explain why EBJ 1 was a really great idea) seemed like a good way to make myself more employable, but luckily for me, shortly after completing the Web Developer certification I got a job unrelated to enterprise Java, and I escaped further investment in that world.

Yeah, I think the criss-cross hug is best. I think they are missing some things though for the best hugs. The feet should be alternated the same way you would when slow dancing and that is how close you should be. This allows for a tighter hug that isn't off balanced. Additionally, a slow sway left to right to left is also key for a feeling of comfort. When you do use the criss-cross, make sure you head is on the side of your lower shoulder. This is the easy way to the world's best hugs.

Technically, perhaps. But really it's a small government agency whose major task is to disburse oodles of cash to people not employed by it.
No, but it was as controversial an event as it could ever be - it polarized pretty much every aspect of society across the entire continent. There is a Before and After that event that affected pretty much every European country, and most of the following century (arguably all the way to WW2) was fought over whether that event and its principles were Good or Bad. Even countries that were left somewhat unscathed, like Britain, still defined themselves (for a very long time) in antithesis to what the event generated (Napoleon).
You can agree that its within the federal authority to mandate vaccines, but it really should be a decision made and explicitly endorsed by elected representatives rather than some agency (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) that I have never heard of until now and whose head is appointed by one person.

If the CMS does it, it is a public health decision. Doing it in Congress makes it a political decision.

IMO, the better route is that the CMS issues the mandate, but that Congress ratifies it. Ie, they have to provide a clear reason why the public health decision should be overruled.

> I think of the coding challenge as a way to understand what kind of code can I expect from the candidate.

I think you get the "coding challenge kind of code" with varying degrees of the subject's personal flavor on it. People can and will produce different kind of code in a different setting, or if you just ask them to do so. So it might not tell you as much as you think?

EDIT: Virtually every employer / project I've worked on has had completely different requirements for what the code should be like. And my own style(s) for my own projects is again completely different. There's no "here's the kind of code I produce", but "what kind of code would you like?". And it's ok not to get it right in the first sitting, these things are discussed and they evolve internally in reviews, style guidelines, meetings, etc.

> A cool thing about this is that you can have an idea of the level of interest of the candidate.

Towards what? The coding challenge? The long overdue neo-legacy project you're going to hand them? Just having a job?

How does that interest show?

> Finally, isn't everything just signal?

The signal doesn't necessarily say what you think it says. That's the biggest issue I find in all these hiring threads. If you do such and such, you suck. Good candidates do this and that. I wouldn't hire someone who X. The best candidates Y. Bla bla, yada yada, on and on. I feel like there's an immense amount of assumptions that hold.. in the interviewer's mental image of the ideal candidate / stereotypical poor candidate. In reality it smells like prejudice and "no true scotsman" all over, at least when taken with the limited context we're given.

And my anecdote is that the signal is very often wrong. This comes mainly from helping out newbies and/or joining educational groups. Many times the first impressions mislead: I can't help but think "this dude has no clue" and I'm almost ready to write them off as a hopeless case. But give them a few weeks and many of them turn out to be very competent, fast learners, good thinkers. It's easy to underappreciate how diverse people.
Now there's an idea.
Not to mention, this is exactly how representative government works. It's not controversial that we do not have a direct vote on Secretary of Defense, a position that arguably has more human impact as the head of CMS.

Is... that meant to be a bad thing? Yes, judicial branch should not be directly accountable to voters. In fact, as a Canadian, I find the idea of electing judges to be so thoroughly strange that it almost defies belief. Why the hell would you want your judicial branch to be "democratic", as in directly and immediately beholden to the whims of the mob? It should be behind layers of indirection, only generally accountable to the voters, and with a long lag to boot.
It can ask for donations if it wants. It just shouldn't try to emotionally manipulate its readers into giving them money. At that point, just use regular advertisements.
Not OP, but the majority of people involved have .edu homepages (stints in industry, still research emphasis) and many of the alums appear to have become alums contemporaneously with the end of their academic career, most of them via Stony Brook, and finally there are a bunch of academic papers with authors clearly acting in their academic capacity (and typically prior to their stints in industry), so, IDK, seems like a reasonable assertion that this has a strong academic emphasis and a lot of the work was done by academic students. Whether it's actually unreliable is a different question, but it seems pretty reasonable to suggest that it's a research project and not a production filesystem.

The term and concept of "meritocracy" emerged from a satirical and dystopian work, The Rise of the Meritocracy, by Michael Dunlop Young, a British sociologist, in 1958.

A persuasion piece which begins from false statements of facts ... lacks strongly in merits.
I think it’s actually reasonable for an agency (CMS) to decide eligibility criteria for receiving federal Medicare and Medicaid dollars. This was authority granted to the agency by Congress. Requiring employees to be vaccinated as a condition to accepting Medicare seems pretty reasonable to me. Just as I would hope hospitals need to meet basic care standards to be eligible as well.

Congress often delegates their power to other agencies. It’s an important regulatory function that allows agencies to adapt to a changing world even in a gridlocked legislature.

I'm looking at micro services for a different reasons: security. I have given up on the idea that our code will ever be completely secure. However micro services means if someone breaks into one service they can't see data belonging to a different service. (that is run each service as a different user, and so OS protections means file commands cannot open such data)

This only protects against some threats related to insecure code, but layers of protection is the key to threats and it is useful for the parts it does help.

Everytime I've seen something about plastics being a health risk, it's not the main polymer (eg. PET, LDPE, HDPE, etc.) that's pointed out, it's the plasticizers. Because plasticizers are not chemically bound to the polymer, it does make sense that they are more likely to have a biological effect than the polymers, as the polymer is generally a fairly stable molecule chain.

The polymers themselves can degrade, though. Especially with plastic items that have been exposed to the sun for long periods of time, the polymers can break down. I wonder if this degradation could also be a health risk, as many polymers are hydrocarbons, which do have known health risks.
It's just the sheer amount of stockpiling while claiming to be under threat:
