That's the different domain. 5G standards are defined for Licensed, unlicensed as well as non-mobile world (means the core network can support all the different access technologies). CBRS is licensed band, just free to use but you have register.
6GHz is new band opened for unlicensed spectrum. It will mostly be used by next generation WiFi (may be WiFi 6 too). Any other technology can use that band too and 5G standards may enhance to support this band or may define other technology too. Just last month, ITU accepted the DECT (remember cordless phones) technology to be part of 5G ecosystem (5G core will be able to support devices with DECT air interface).
But CBRS band is different and its more about similar to current mobile ecosystem but in private domain.

CBRS cant be used for WiFi or other technology (only 4G in US at this point, most probably 5G in future.. 3GPP defined OFDMA based air interface). 6GHz is unlicensed and mostly will be used by WiFi.

I worked a skilled union job in the 90’s and only made $16/hr so either OP is exaggerating (calling out OT rate) or was in a rare situation.

$22/hr in 1995 was almost the median household income in the US. It's a lot of money for a fast food job.

They learn quickly.
First of all, this is a cool idea. I always love to see something private and encrypted.
But I found some concerns and ideas about your project (and I think you may can fix these):

0. This has XSS vulnerability. If attacker writes down this memo:
<script>do_the_evil_things()</script>
and passes to people, they might be unknowingly attacked(get tracked by attacker their IP/Browser fingerprint, mine cryptocurrencies for attacker, etc...)

1. This basically works under server-side encryption. When user type their text in the website, it is encrypted with the secret key on your config file and saved on the database. This is only effective when attacker only succeeds to crack the database. Also, you can read the text. I know you won't, but you know, cryptographers don't trust anyone.
If you want to mitigate this, you might want to learn about end-to-end encryption. In short: the hash of the private link is the secret key. The browser randomly generate the key and encrypt/decrypt the text. The server only receives/saves the ciphertext.

2. AES-256-CBC is unsafe because it provides confidentiallity and not authenticity.[1] This means the attacker who can only crack the database can edit the ciphertext to pseudo-arbitrary plaintext under certain circumstance without knowing of the key. Also under another circumstance, attacker can use 'Padding oracle attack' to recover the ciphertext. it seems your service is not in this case: Laravel's encryption is AES-256-CBC + MAC, which mitigates this problem. So this is safe, but next time, if you write some crypto-related things without Laravel, you'd better use some high-level library such as libsodium or sjcl.

3. This service uses CloudFlare. Using CloudFlare might be safe on small project because they have rock solid WAF to prevent general attacks. But it may be unsafe for a whistleblower from NSA: when it matters with state-sponsered attackers or law enforcements, CloudFlare can be attacked/warranted. Then it becomes another attack vector.

Again, your service and idea are cool. But you should remember that this area is full of land mines, dragons, and dinosaurs with laser guns.

Welcome to privacy/crypto world!

Mutation is tricky, because basically the only way to do it sanely is to copy all data into the residual, but since most arrays aren't actually mutated, that's extremely wasteful. I've been hoping to address this by changing mutability in the language more generally (e.g. https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/42465) to make immutable arrays the default at which point there wouldn't be a penalty anymore. I've had request to do the mutable copying optionally, but it's a bit tricky, because it needs rule system integration and the rule system currently doesn't reason about mutation.

As for exceptions and recursion, shouldn't be a problem, just needs to be implemented.
Yes, definitely. It's just that we used Kafka in the start for microservices communication and later choosen Pulsar for large data streaming.

We have it in our roadmap to migrate the former to Pulsar, but not the utmost priority right now. It also simplifies Infrastructure management by keeping one event streaming stack instead of two.
I'm a US military officer working in an IT career field, and we're all required to maintain some of these certifications. As in we literally can't have a privileged account to touch our own LAN unless a third-party entity like CompTIA, (ISC)2, ISACA, Cisco, or SANS deems us fit.

The whole ecosystem and culture around this is just ridiculous. Despite entering this career field with undergraduate and graduate degrees in CS from serious universities, the first (and only) question that people asked me was, "what certs do you have?" People go around talking about which "cert" they want next, and which ones are the hardest to get. People list all their "certs" in their email signatures after their name. People really measure their worth, and the worth of others, by these things.

So I've played the game by reading the exam guides and taking the tests (the military pays the $300-$1,500 testing fees for us in most cases, at least) and got "my certs." Now I'm a CISSP, CISM, CEH, and CCNA. The content of the exams isn't all bad; it's certainly different from academic CS and more applicable to managing IT. But these are just multiple-choice tests that one can easily pass with superficial knowledge obtained from a 100-page exam guide. Someone asked if CISSP was the hardest test I've ever taken... no... my final exams for Theory of Computation and Advanced Algorithms were...

Anyway, I've come to find out that most people don't even read the exam guides to learn what little material they contain. The typical approach, apparently, is to acquire a "dump," which is the bank of actual questions, and then repeatedly take "practice exams" so that they've already seen (and memorized) all of the questions that they might encounter during the actual exam. So, blatant cheating. I think this is very well known throughout the military IT community, and probably among the certification vendors too, but everyone turns a blind eye to it. If we stopped it, then most of our staff wouldn't be allowed to work on the LAN (see above), and then how would we get anything done? If the certification vendors stopped it, then the money would dry up as fewer people would take their exams.

If you bothered to watch the linked video, the Arduino folks are the ones that produce the tools in the box.

They only picked C++, because C would be even worse, and it provided an easy way to have their Arduino like language without creating their own compiler.

They have no plans to ever provide proper C++ support.

So if that makes you jump, go watch a Dan Saks talk about C++ adoption on embedded domain or not.

Likewise. And what I’ve noted is that the IPCC’s optimistic predictions keep proving far too optimistic, and their worse-outcome predictions keep coming true, sooner than predicted.

I also see corporations that are loathe to change suddenly make commitments to change, and to make those changes pretty quickly. To my eyes, that is a big indication that things have started going well off the rails.

I’m not looking forward to having to handle the wheels falling off of society in my senior years as crop failures, infrastructure collapse, and social unrest kick into high gear.

You may also want to learn that using a hello before going further (or at least separated from the rest of the im) is a way to make sure your are comfortable having the message pop up on your screen.

I am exactly like parent. I just can't do the small talk. Get to the point already is my attitude whole life. It's not that I don't care about others well being or their dog, I do. It's just that when someone asks me I always tell them I am fine even if I am not. I don't want to bother them with my troubles. And I assume they have similar mental process which recently I have come to realize is not true.

Indeed they haven't. They are, at most, drafts or even "draft community reports".

And yet, Chrome goes through a superficial standards-track-like process:

- implements them behind a feature flag

- publishes a draft of the standard

- asks other browser vendors for their position on "emerging standard". Example, https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/459

- ignores feedback, and enables by default (see link above)

- advertises as fait accompli (example, https://web.dev/hid-examples/)

- includes these APIs in standard web API counts https://web-confluence.appspot.com/#!/confluence

- proceeds to gaslight other browser vendors as being too slow, holding back the web, holding back innovation etc. through dozens of talking heads with outsized influence (Alex Russel, Justin Fagnani, ... to many to list)
I'm currently interviewing for a mix of tech lead and equivalent staff engineering roles that more "individual contributor" focused

The ones that skew towards heads down work ask a lot of LC questions (the kind cheated on in the article).

These are that you can find the exact solution for in the time it takes you to read the question out loud for the interviewer...

-

Meanwhile ones that skew towards leadership are asking questions that you can't cheat nearly as easily on.

Having in-depth conversations with technically knowledgeable people, sure you could maybe you could get some sort of teleprompter, but the breadth and depth of knowledge being asked means you'd be hard pressed to keep up if you didn't already know the domain pretty well.

There's also a greater focus on talking about yourself, like things you've done for example. Now you can borrow someone's story, but again, it's many many times harder to deliver it convincingly than it is to deliver a LC answer that has a known optimal solution that you're already expected to follow near verbatim.

-

The difference is simple, the amount of resources you're willing to put into testing.

Places asking LC questions are doing so as a cheap filter.

Places assigning a high ranking engineer to talk to you are making an investment.

I understand the dilemma a few companies in tech face, like FAANG. There's so much demand they can't afford that in-depth approach for everyone.

But I do see a problem with how systemic the cheap filter approach has gotten. So many companies hurting for applications in the pipeline are putting up silly hoops that ironically seem to favor people who aren't that technically experienced.

I mean who's going to do better on a LC Hard with dynamic programming, the person who's spending 8 hours a day at work writing code, mentoring, doing code reviews, meeting stakeholders, etc... or the fresh grad who spends 8 hours a day running through your company's question list on LC?

I recently saw a post on Blind about a company dealing with a bad hire... they hired a CS PhD as a Senior dev only to find they were executing at the level of a Junior. Want to venture a guess as to how they managed that?
The author probably meant 1st Amendment, but Zimmerman and the EFF also relied on 5th Amendment arguments. See, e.g., https://readingroom.law.gsu.edu/gsulr/vol13/iss2/14/. While the 1995 press release from the EFF (https://www.eff.org/press/archives/2008/04/21-42) specifically mentions only the First Amendment directly, if you look at the list of arguments under "More specifically, the current export control process:", about half of them are Fifth Amendment or Fifth Amendment-adjacent defenses.
> Right to work laws just make it illegal to enter an agreement where non-union members are forced to pay union agency fees despite not being members of the union.

I guess I'll cite Alabama's right to work amendment for the 4th time today:

> No person shall be required by an employer to become or remain a member of any labor union or labor organization as a condition of employment or continuation of employment.

The screen actor's guild often works as a labor supplier, but they cannot negotiate a contract in Alabama to be the only supplier of labor for a film. I mean I guess you can split hairs and claim that it's the combination of Taft-Hartly and right to work laws that create the situation, but since such a contract is valid in other states, it's really only the right to work law that's relevant.

> As I said previously, freedom of association means you can enter a contract with whomever you want, it does not mean you can enter a contract to do whatever you want.

I think you'll have a hard time describing how the law banning some of these would violate freedom of association, but for others it wouldn't:

- A contract that requires the employee to be black
- A contract requiring the employee to hold some certification
- A contract requiring the employee to hold membership in a professional organization
- A contract requiring the employee to hold membership in a union
- A contract requiring a salary of $2.00 an hour (minimum wage laws are also often considered a violation of freedom of association)

Same goes for financial industry regulatory exams. Very little actual learning, a lot of remembering stupid stuff. It's no wonder people want to cheat.

I've also done network stuff, it's quite a lot more technical. But in the end it's still a silly thing to do multiple choice for. Debugging a network is a skill that's hard to boil down to that kind of exam, though to be fair they do show you how in the courses.
