This sounds like focusing on the wrong thing in the interview process.
I have those on. For both of them (Twitter/TikTok). ScreenTime is a great first step by the platform itself (iOS) to help folks do this themselves.

The difference between my post and ScreenTime is it leverages the brains gravity to the apps as a driving force of good habits.

Also, one small flaw in ScreenTime makes it almost non-effective: it allows bypass with one click. When you've run out of screentime it will do its block, but then it allows you to bypass really quickly. If it simply made you jump through a few more hoops (Go to homescreen, Settings, ScreenTime, App ScreenTime config, bypass for day; for example) to bypass I think it would be respected way more (at least by me, can't speak for others).
Exactly, I see the very same reusal of IP on all platforms.

For parents nintendo is a guarantee of having access to games made for kids. There are certainly comparable games sold for Playstation and Xbox lines but the price range and advertized games show they are targetting adults. Parents of young kids would tend to stear away naturally.

It is good to see on the London underground that the adverts for these COVID-test scammers are routinely daubed as such.
It can easily be done at OS level, forcing you to wait 30sec to 1min to open Twitter. Want to disable the timer ? Sure, it's possible in the settings, you just have to wait 1 min before being able to disable it.

I configured screen time in iOS, but it just don't work, I know the code.
Given the economics at play, I don’t think you’re giving enough credit to virologists.

If such an exercise could save TRILLIONS of dollars in the short to mid term, do you still stand by your statement?

This is not even a novel idea. The idea of finding and spreading the least harmful variants was proposed very early in the pandemic (circa June 2020) in an article I read here. Of course that’s slightly different than what GP proposed.

However, I would’ve never thought that mRNA vaccines could be produced so quickly. Given the incentives at play, I bet a surprising amount is possible.
If you ask me it's due to a confluence of:

- People like and expect stuff on the internet to be free;

- The companies who produce this stuff have shareholders who want to see their squiggly lines go up.

Honourable mention: Because cybersecurity is hard and involves saving users from themselves.

That's my oversimplified take, anyways.
I agree with pretty much the whole body of the article, but I dislike the title. IMHO one of the most important rules of writing is "know your audience, and write for them". When coding, your audience tolerates no ambiguity, has no sense of humour, and only understands simple commands. When writing, your audience has opinions, wants to be entertained, and feels love. So please don't literally write like you code!

> (similar to a Pull Request I suppose)

It's not "similar to a pull request", it is a pull request (or would be if this wasn't a RFC). While this one is a bit different than usual (he didn't post the full diffstat, for instance), that's the way pull requests were traditionally done, even before github/gitlab/etc existed. A traditional pull request is an email which besides the description says something like "please pull from git://... some-branch", and notice that this one has near the top "[...] which can be found here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/tip.git master". The maintainer pastes these two arguments (the URL and the branch) to a "git pull" command line, so in this case it would be "git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/tip.git master".

> Why is being able to effectively search for for answers not considered good problem solving?

Memorizing interview questions is decidedly not "effectively searching for answers".

Effectively searching for answers requires breaking the problem down into separate pieces that you can actually search for. This is one of the skills that can actually be demonstrated during the interview. And then showing that you can also come up with the solution (or be guided towards it in discussion with the interviewer) is the natural way to round it out, instead of "ok, now google for this sub-problem while I'm watching you".
I don't see the scam nor a conspiracy.

First of all, private COVID test producing corporations are prolonging the pandemic by suggesting to gov't that testing be done to a higher degree than necessary? Why would governments fall for that? Oh, you mean they're all corrupt. Well, then you should call all government procurements corrupt, not just this one.

I went Apple precisely because it was not hostile at all compared to Windows and Google’s forest of adware. The minute you give me a non-user hostile OS (phone or desktop), I’ll PAY $300/year for it.

But even Ubuntu returned Amazon results when I searched the local application (Don’t get me started on technicalities of “But maybe you want your start menu to display your friend’s most recent purchases? How can Ubuntu know? But they’ve recognized their mistake after going to production and rolled back parts of it!”)

It’s time to stop blaming the user and start blaming the EU for their badly-written cookie banner laws.
Australia still is First Past the Post in essence for the lower house, a bit better in the senate. Just see the number of seats the greens have compared to their vote, 10.23% of the vote led to 0.66% of the seats in 2019.

The system does help intent to be shown by the first vote, but also shows that it does not lead to power.

This is why all discussions about STV, instant runoff, multiple rounds are essentially irrelevant. They may help show intent, but does not change the status quo.
The information is never really that deep and I have no idea what I’m actually looking at.

Yes, as mike_d explained, those specific bat coronaviruses occur in Wuhan, of course it makes sense to build a lab there, and, just as portrayed in Contagion, that the virus would jump over there. Correlation-causation fallacy.
I think the test requirements are a scam. The most dangerous thing I did on my trip last week to the UK was have to wait on line in a stuffy crowded room for over an hour to take my post-landing PCR test.

It would have been safer for people to take a rapid test outdoors.
You'll be surprised how many well-known doctors miss a ton of non-obvious anomalies in scan results. There's no way a doctor would have seen all prior records of confirmed diagnosis and their corresponding scans.

In an ideal world, a deep learning algorithm should provide an independent report of potential features of interest to a doctor to let him know if something that he could have missed. However, I hope it stays in the intended role and doesn't make the doctor less careful.
To some extent it paradoxically sounds like you guys want applicants to not have studied basic algorithm problems, since the problems you find if you try to study are the same problems you guys ask in interviews.
> Users tolerating such bullshit is the reason why it exists and keeps on existing.

This is an intensely user hostile view point, ironically enough. "The dark patterns being foisted upon the average user are their own fault, they deserve what they get"

In fact, I think this attitude is how the developers and product managers responsible for this stuff sleep at night, "these people deserve this for their moral failings, so what I'm doing doesn't make me a terrible person"

How would my mom switch from her crappy bank app? That app that the bank is kind of forcing her to use by making the in person experience so terrible and, well, because of COVID. There is only one bank in her town, I guess she could start driving "to the city" for banking but, surprise, all those banks have equally shitty apps.

She could switch from Facebook to ... what exactly? Her extended family are all on Facebook, her grandkids are posting pics of the great grandkids on Facebook. Yeah, she deserves the disaster that is Facebook.
If you zoom in all the way then then it almost becomes a landscape with craters and canyons. And the dark parts become pictures of distant galaxies. These details can easily be used as textures for a game.

B) that also happens, there are also insightful things people hadnt previously thought of that people just like

C) as others wrote, only a subset of users can really affect consensus. So its more of a representative democracy, active users that have accumulated alot of karma are the ones that have to simply be unoffended. But others can flag and effectively censor anyway.
People who does stuff for fun usually have all their money problems already resolved.

The choice to not use shit software is easier than going on a strike and demanding 8h work day instead of 14h. Which our ancestors also did, some died for the cause.

I for one, do not use and have not used and especially not payed for user-hostile software, beginning since 2000.

It is possible, you dont really have to accept shit or keep on using shit. Everytime that click feels wrong, that idea seems off, dont click it, close that software suite and uninstall.

The DFEH received an argument from the company along the lines of "The applicant did not fill out the official application on our web site, therefor they did not apply, therefor we did not discriminate against them" and agreed with it. So it's ok then for employees of the company to advertise an opening, to tell people that the way to apply for the opening is to email them directly, and to reply to the emails with rejections on the basis of gender, as long as some other part of the company also has some other application process!

I have not followed up on the issue because my disability means that I have extremely limited capacity for this sort of thing and spending enormous amounts of that capacity for a minuscule chance at like $10,000 seems like a bad use of resources. I'm also no longer able to follow up on it! I understand that if I wanted justice, I had to get it within 18 months.

Edit: I filled out the form at the DoJ. It would be sweet if something came of all this, even if I don't personally benefit.
The C code example is a terrible strawman. The task can be solved in C without any memory management, just by using getchar().
Part of consistency, is being consistent with current standards. That generally means working on the code to keep it looking current.

But custom problems require custom solutions (for example, a Web shop for a customizable widget, that maybe also needs to have restrictions imposed by industry licensing standards), and that can be difficult to do, with standard stuff (I have had to do almost exactly that, and have the scars to prove it).
Most people aren't good with logistics. This procedure might have been called a "well it's better than nothing" solution, because of the logistics, instead of it being a scam. Just saying.

Very theoretically example. Bank robberies are illegal virtually everywhere. At least that's my assumption.

But in principle you're correct.

If Bob commits a crime in country Ypso and flies home to country Zorg then Zorg will only extradite him if the crime he committed is also a crime in Zorg.

As a more practical example: Switzerland makes a distinction between tax evasion (which is not a crime, but a misdemeanor) and tax fraud, which is a crime. The difference is that when you "forget" to declare income this is tax evasion (to a degree), while if you cook the books that's tax fraud. Most countries don't make this distinction.

Switzerland got a lot of heat for neither providing information, nor extraditing people accused of tax evasion to another country. The reason being that it's not a crime in Switzerland.

Practically, that doesn't really matter much any more due to the whole information exchange on tax issues, which the country is also part of.

There are other reasons for not extraditing a person. For example if such a person is a citizen in a country that doesn't extradite its citizens then any extradition request from another country will be denied.

With all respect, how do you think this proves your point at all?

Do you not find it absurd in the extreme that the novel Coronavirus lab a few km from the outbreak of a novel coronavirus was barred from investigation?

Is it not a giant raging blinking neon clue that when Australia wanted an investigation China threatened them with economic apocalypse?

And in this context, you think a .8% chance that it would appear near a lab is high enough to discount the possibility??? My head is exploding.
Yeah, I found some boletes a few months ago and out of an abundance of caution took them to three different pharmacists in Paris and every one looked at me like I was a crazy person for bringing wild mushrooms into the pharmacy. "We don't do that" is all I was told. One pharmacist student, an acquaintance of mine, told me they were probably going to make me sick. After doing research into the matter and asking old foragers I met in the woods, though, I decided to eat them and they were definitely delicious and non-deadly porcinis.

Same for me. I'm programming Web3 and Solidity contract interactions. It's just refreshing to have a new aspect (contracts and money) that you can easily interact with now.

I agree with the comments condemning the resource consumption. I also see big problems with the resulting loss of control over currencies that governments could face. I'm trying to be a part of this development because if it doesn't go away, these systems could be a defining part of the future. But if I'm honest, I'd like crypto in most of its current form to go away - it's very likely that it can damage democracies and we're currently already busy saving our democratic processes from social media, inequality and manipulation. Maybe crypto has a solution to these problems, but currently I'm not convinced. I've talked to founders of the biggest crypto currencies and the vision of most of them is highly anarchistic and idealistic (a DAO as a government replacement, taxes will be paid in a voluntary form or something like that) which makes me deeply sceptical. But maybe that's just me being uncomfortable that a multi-billionaire is explaining to me how he wants to change how the world is governed.
Researchers and devs have been and continue to work incredibly hard to ensure this stops being the case some time mid year 2022.

If this is your experience then I think it's important to recognize that those are just anecdotes, and if you have a lot of those anecdotes it's only going to make it harder to base your view on facts.

> While overall, conforming to masculine norms was associated with negative mental health outcomes in subjects, the researchers found the association to be most consistent for these three norms — self-reliance, pursuit of playboy behavior and power over women

> models predicting depression generally showed that higher conformity to masculine norms was associated with an increased risk of current depressive symptoms, especially in the oldest age group

I did a search for "studies on masculinity and depression", there's plenty more if you want to read up on it.

That view also makes no sense for gay couples - if there's two women and one is depressed then does the other stay because their partner is a woman, or leave because they're a woman? Same issue for two men - do they leave because the partner is a man or stay because they are?

If you have any studies showing that for some reason men should be handling mental health differently then women I'd be interested to read them, because as far as I can tell the view that there should be a difference is itself a big contributing factor to negative mental health.
