Using Yugoslavia as a counterpoint... The conflict created an open slave market where UN soldiers were ordered to guard against "war" but otherwise not get involved. This eventually grew into a European trade network that has enslaved hundreds of thousands of Eastern European women. Dwarfing any war casualty statistics from the war. European politicians have largely been able to brush this under the rug by using ethnicity as a wedge since the perpetrators are technically refugees and not white.

My point is, of all your examples this is the darkest humanitarian crisis but also the least obvious when looked through this kind of framing.

I totally understand where you're coming from. It does seem like most of the people that make music with modular seem to make more ambient music, which isn't my preferred music genre. Here are a few of my personal reasons why I like using modular:

- It's helped me learn more about how synthesizers work. When I first started using synthesizers, I relied so much on presets that I never quite figured out how to design patches myself. Modular synthesis really forced me to learn what each module was doing and make strategic changes to get the sound I wanted. This was a somewhat steep learning curve, but it has been wildly beneficial.

- Generally synths have some kind of limit on what you can do somewhere. With VCV Rack specifically, I can add as many oscillators as I want. I can modulate whatever I want. I haven't found a limit yet. I'll admit that most of the time I don't need to go to such extremes and a normal synth is good enough, but when I do want to go crazy I go for VCV Rack.

- On the flipside of that, sometimes it's fun to limit yourself. There are challenges that people do to make a patch with only 3 specific modules (for example). It stretches your creativity to learn how you can make an interesting sound with such harsh limitations.

- Sometimes I have writer's block. In those moments, it feels great to just stick a sequencer on a random setting and put it through a quantizer to generate some ideas that I can build on.

Overall, if you don't feel like you would benefit from modular synthesis I don't think you should have any FOMO about it. Making music is all about what works for you, because most listeners on the other side don't really care about what tools you used to make it.

> they seem to be losing the content junk spam SEO fight

Google clearly isn't even trying.

So many of these sites are polluting search results for months. It isn't a case of sites that pop up for a few hours until Google notices and blacklists them.

Google Search has gone so far downhill. I'm not sure what they're optimising for. Long-term irrelevance, it seems.

I think it’s aromatic hydrocarbons, rings like cyclohexane and hybridized rings like benzene, that tend to be greater risk with chronic exposure.
> As far as I am aware this approach is basically universal.

You are poorly informed.

> It's impractical to check references before the offer stage,

There's a useful distinction here between a verbal, paperwork-pending sort of offer and a written offer, although seriously, contacting references is not that big a deal. You're talking about a few phone calls. An applicant has every right to assume you've done all the relevant work before extending a written offer, unless you inform them otherwise.

> since the majority of candidates will not want their existing employer to be contacted for a reference until they have accepted the offer.

The majority of candidates are smart enough not to use individuals at their existing employer as references without talking to them about it first. It would be extraordinary for a company to contact someone at the current employer of a potential hire willy-nilly, without permission, as it could put them in an actionable position. Everyone understands the issues involved.

Perhaps you're confusing a reference check with a date of employment check. No HR department is going to hold it against an employee if someone calls them asking to verify that employee's date of employment. It's a procedure that's used for a lot of things, not just hiring.
Ooh, that's really interesting. And given how many folks here talk about dropping out as it gets harder, that suggests the later problems look easier than they are.
To be clear on terminology, those receipts are thermal prints. They use a heated print element and paper that turns dark where heated.

BTW these should never be placed in with other paper for recycling as the chemicals in the thermal paper will contaminate the rest of the paper.
It's quite simple. SO has a huge easily indexable database of answers, and SEO scammers can make a quick buck by copying it all and making it seem like they have an answer for unanswered questions. Nothing to see here, blame your search engine.
It took 6 seconds for me (pretty similar computer and connection speed). I am however just 6 ms RTT away from its hosting location in Copenhagen, DK. (I'm in southern Sweden.)
Also, it's not like doctors are doing it based on medical judgement.

Their jobs are being threatened too, and are more likely to have large debt from school and to be the primary breadwinner of their family than nurses.

Nurses just have more realistic freedom to say no.
This sounds an awful lot like asking job candidates for 10 years of experience in a technology that is only 2 years old. Nothing new will ever be created again.
I love adventofcode. I have a rule I follow now which makes it a lot more enjoyable: if I can't make headway on a problem after trying for a day or so, I'll use the subreddit to find a hint, and then usually that's enough to help me to the answer. Very occasionally I just completely cheat (often the pure math based questions).

I don't like missing out on the stars.... I mean it's the only way you get to see the awesome ascii art when you collect all 50 for the year.

Many thanks to Eric and team for what must be a huge effort to run such a fun programme.

Oh, the other thing I do: I don't even start until sometime in January :) far less stress and keeps the whole family much happier ;)
Google used to make it possible to filter domains from results. I was sad to see it disappear
I couldn't really find a single good argument put forth anywhere in the article that this is indeed "Not an old person problem." So in a sense Nassim has deftly used proof by contrapositive to prove that indeed Covid-19 is an old person problem, i.e. that if the best arguments are shitty then the purported proof is negated.
This isn't just about the HN comment, the reporter spoke to multiple people inside and outside of Stripe. In my experience, stories like this tend to be in the works for weeks and it's likely the HN comment popped up close to publication so it was quickly folded in, it's not the main thrust of the story.

More specifically, as Mises conceives it, it is the study of the UNIVERSAL aspects of human action.
That's not always an option -- my last android phone died with a reboot loop. It was several years old so I opted to discard and replace it (after opening it up and snapping the main circuit board in half), but if it was newer and I wanted warranty service, I'd have no choice but to send it in for repair, unwiped. In theory, device encryption would protect my data unless the service center has some way around it.
Perfect time to explore Toit (http://github.com/toitlang/toit) :)
It still works.

I would blame the mechanic, sue if necessary, but it's still good advice not to let any valuable in your car if you lend it to a 3rd party.
It looks like the title of this thread was changed since the first time I saw it to something that doesn't match the title of the article. This new headline doesn't seem very clear at all. "Losing an offer" conveys something very different from "rescinded an offer".

RBB Lab | Blockchain developers, Project managers, React developers, React Native developers, Solidity developers | Remote (CET+/-3hrs preferred) | Full-time

RBB Lab is leading the development of several exciting blockchain projects including both Mintlayer and Stablecomp.

Mintlayer is a Bitcoin sidechain for truly decentralized finance. You can contribute to one of the most amazing projects in the space, along with many other interesting engineers. The team is remote first.

We're after experienced blockchain developers to help build Mintlayer's core node, rust experience is preferred but not essential. We're also after React Native mobile developers for our mobile wallet, React developers for several web projects and a project manager with some scrum experience.

Stablecomp is a DeFi platform that makes it easy for users to assess opportunities to earn compound interest on their stablecoins, make allocations, and collect interest on a multichain dApp. Stablecomp's risk reward matrix is the only source of uniform risk assessment and reward data for stablecoin staking opportunities.

We're after an experienced Solidity developer to join the stablecomp team to help build the first version of the project.

https://www.notion.so/RBB-LAB-Job-Board-7ef235e6ae2648ae90ca... see our job board for all open positions and feel free to drop me a message at jobs@mintlayer.org to apply or if you have any questions.
While true, the counterpoint is that in practice nobody can take sufficient precautions, we only think we can until it goes wrong.
How did the person conducting repair power it on and unlock it then?

Edit: I mean how did they bypass the lock screen?
I seriously think we're at a point where we just need to say "yes, we're blaming the victim", not because we actually are, or think it's the victims fault, but because engaging this line of questioning is a complete waste of time.

The person whose nudes were stolen and published did not deserve it and did not ask for it, but it's not productive to tell them (and society at large) that there was nothing they could have done to avoid or mitigate the situation. There are bad actors in this world and we all do things tens or even hundreds of times a day to minimize their impact.
Alternative to having browser (or any app) in a container and accessing its gui using noVNC (or Apache Guacamole). Except, this is done using WebRTC, what makes it perfect for viewing videos + audio of course.
The weekday problems tend to be easier so you get a ramp up, but with drops in difficulty. A lot of people give up after one or two of the hard days and don't continue, but there's no actual requirement to do them in order. If they'd skip the hard ones they'd probably find several more solvable (for them) problems remaining in the year.

Bainbridge Health | Data and Solutions Engineers, Growth, Pharmacists, and Clinical Data Analysts | Go, Python, VueJS, SQL | Remote (US) | Full-time | https://angel.co/l/2h5mKx

Receiving medication at a hospital is one of the most dangerous things you can do. Ensuring safe and secure medication supplies is also one of the most complex and expensive things hospitals do. There is a mountain of data, but very little of it is used effectively.

We work with leading hospital pharmacies across the United States to translate data into actionable clinical and supply chain insights. Leveraging their own administration and pharmacy preparation datasets, we guide hospitals to safer, more efficient medication use. We also provide the most comprehensive benchmarking on medication use and decision support available to assist with governance, research, and supply chain development across industry through partnerships with leading organizations.

Join a team that is focused on real world improvements that can be measured month-to-month, quarter-to-quarter, in terms of better care, better outcomes, and lower prices for real people. We are actively looking for a Data Engineer and a Solutions Engineer. The first role is primarily focused on building our internal platforms and tools, while the second is focused on supporting the full Customer Experience from pre-sales to on-going use.

We are a Python, Go, SQL (MS-SQL, Oracle on the customer side, BigQuery in-house), and Javascript (VueJS) shop. We build on Google Kubernetes Engine and similar tools. We also do systems integration with existing hospital platforms. So, if you have experience with traditional Windows on-prem operations stack, there's a definite place for you on our team.

If you have prior experience with healthcare, and especially hospital, technologies, and are looking to work with a modern tech stack and a more focused team, that's a plus.

Outside of engineering, we are also hiring a Growth Manager, a Clinical Pharmacist, and Clinical Data Analysts.

If your money gets stolen, there is a in most financial institutions a clear line of punishment and restitution for committing said crime.

Unfortunately with snooping, we have little to no such protection, in which to many (in US) is a major erosion of constitutional rights.

If you've only had 1 or 2 previous jobs it's not a given you can get an enthusiastic reference. Some workplaces are just miserable all around, and some previous bosses may say they'd be happy to give a reference when they're still bitter the employee left or they had some personal grudge.
Assuming any of it is true, and he isn't just LARPing based on what he read about Apple a few months ago. I'd put the odds at 50/50.

There are a lot of industrial and commercial applications. My interest though is in running a low power cluster at home for testing random applications that I build.

For example I'm writing an app for hosting documentation for household items and integrating it with a label printer. It would be great if I could host this and many other applications locally on a K8s cluster instead of stringing together a bunch of raspberry pis with a network switch, or hosting it on a cloud service
> There is plenty of room for dissent, but it stops being “dissent” when it is simply denying reality.

Ah yes of course, when the common view gets the label of “reality” dissent is no longer “dissent.” /s

If only everyone could see the line in the same place, but well if that were the case I don’t suppose there’d be any dissent at all.

Project Euler was one of the first programming puzzle sites. I give credit to them for my interest in programming puzzles. However, I quickly abandoned them once I found other sites that was less math focused.

For my personal goals, I want to get better at programming and not at math. When I find myself spending more time on the math rather than programming, I just skip the problem. I suspect many people abandon Project Euler for the same reasons I encountered.

With all that said, I agree that not everyone can solve every problem and that is ok.
