I agree, the guys clearly legit. I was just indulging some recreational morning pedantry before actually getting some work done.

I encourage you to learn more. There are frequencies where anyone can transmit small amounts of power (they are the unlicensed bands) and they are available in every country. Many countries also have an amateur radio organization which are people like you who are interested in radio and want to learn more. Opportunities are available to use your radio to assist in disasters and other emergency situations, and of course it can lead to a career in working with a commercial broadcasting company.
The responsibilities part is what I mean by expectations. They say open ended things like:

"Understands client business functions and technology needs. Understands Company's tools, technologies, and applications/databases, including those that interface with business area and systems."

Very open ended. No detail on what these company systems might be, what technologies or languages are used, or what department/area of the business you would be working in.

If I'm being hired to solve problems, I want to know what types of problems I'll be solving and what tools I have at my disposal. I guess I could get that from an interview, but why waste everyone's time repeating it instead of posting it once in the ad? I'm not wasting my vacation time from my current job for a meeting that could have been an email.

I rarely see a legit salary range in ads. Half the time is "competitive". Then maybe 40% are estimated ranges by the job board like $65k-$150k, which is not really helpful. Then maybe 10% (probably high) give an actual range from the company or can find it on levels.fyi.
:-) This is one of these fake physics things that action movies and video games have put into our heads. In reality if you shoot a fuel can it will likely just leak out of the hole and maybe, if you’re lucky, a spark will be created that lights the fuel leaking out on fire.

It almost certainly won’t “explode” as there’s no oxidizer in the can apart from a bit of air. Tannerite does explode on shooting but that’s because it’s a precise mixture of fuel and oxidizer that reacts easily on high speed compression.
To be fair Babylon 5 WAS planned for the 5 Season Arc and only extended after the original plans for season 3-5 were essentially compressed into what became season 3 and 4. But from what I know it's true that the Babylon 5 we got was substantially different from the one originally planned. Here's a very detailed Discussion of the original story line https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/synopsis-of-jmss-synopsis-of...
But the separate air vent works so much better than the spouts with an integrated air pipe. The cap normally has a tether so it doesn't get lost.
One thing that helps me is to practice saying "Hi" and "Good morning" in my head before getting to saying it out loud. At this point I automatically say things mentally in my head constantly, even if I just see somebody coming down the hallway at me I rehearse my "Hey" or "Did you do anything fun this weekend?" Good luck.
Let's assume the opposite - that success is not correlated with fitness (intelligence amongst other things). Is that a rational position to take?
I'm not sure it's a good example, really. It's an "exact phrase search" with quotes, which doesn't happen much in real life.

It was helpful solely to show what some of these leech sites are.

Searching for (without quotes): What does if __name__ == "__main__": do?

Is probably a better test of which search engine has better results for the real-life query. Google might still win, but it should do a better job of screening out the spammy sites. It used to be better at this.
I'm sure it was unintentional, but your comment here is where the thread went haywire. Maybe it would be helpful to explain why.

The discussion about disgraced-public-figure memorabilia was certainly offtopic, but it was offtopic in a whimsical and unpredictable way. That's ok on HN because it's interesting. What's not interesting, and is the bad kind of offtopicness, is turning the thread into a generic argument about some inflammatory thing that has already had countless flamewars. If you review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, you'll see that we have several rules that are intended to act as flame retardant against this kind of thing:

"Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents."

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

"Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead."

The high-indignation, high-repetition flamewar topics are like black holes that suck in threads that swerve too close to them. Since they're so repetitive (and generally so nasty), they're definitely not what HN is for, so we should all try to steer clear of them.

Why would you assume nobles have superior genes, especially the ones who "flunked out." If anything the inbreeding practices of the nobility were dysgenic. Unprecedented levels of outbreeding has been suggested as a possible source of IQ increase over the past 100-200 years.

You can argue that today's somewhat-meritocracy is going to sort people by social class in a way that roughly overlaps with IQ if you zoom out very far. I don't see why this would be true at all in an autocratic caste system society.

This sounds like a made up just-so theory that belongs on a neoreactionary Reddit group.
While I am generally inclined to believe the first film stands alone and the later films had at most vague hopes and dreams about where to go if it was successful, I also think this overstates the case a bit. If Morpheus was wrong about 5 previous "The Ones" in the Matrix, that changes his character and Cypher's character in the first movie, sure, but it doesn't have much effect on the subsequent stories.

If you watch carefully, you can penetrate Laurence Fishburne's incredible screen presence by the end of the second movie to notice that Morpheus is a naive tool, quite a while before the character figures it out himself. (In fact, I find him a bit cringe to watch in the third movie because by then it's obvious that almost every word out of his mouth is unjustified by reality, and he is only right by coincidence. I don't mean the bad accidental sort of cringe, it's deliberate, and it works fine. Legit character choice.) It doesn't change the overarching story that much to make it possible to derive that in the first movie. It would just change the first movie.

I'm not sure accommodating this revelation would require any changes in the second and third movie. You could add a conversation where Neo confronts Morpheus more directly, but it wouldn't be obligatory.

My guess is that the reality is the same for them as it is for a lot of us. How many times have you worked on a project, either personally or at work, and come up with hopes and dreams about what Phase 2 will look like? Tons of times for me. But even when I stick with the design we hoped and dreamed about (which is basically the task I'm working on right now at work), there's still a lot between those hopes and dreams and running code. I bet there was at least thoughts about future plans, but there's a lot between hopes and dreams and a functioning script, let alone actual movies.

It really isn't. The sort of money being thrown at NFTs would imply that people think they're going to become mainstream. Right now, seven years on from the first NFT and about three years since the hype started, and a year on from really enormous hype starting, they are clearly such a niche that another tiny niche (Second Life) makes them look small. That does not bode well for them.
Not him, but:

Noticed this with online newspapers too to the extend they are reporting about a website or product and don't include a URL to it.
To become a noble you would generally have to have done something of great note. I'd think someone of higher intelligence would have a higher likelihood to do that.
That is plot of Starwars.
No, they don't.

At the risk of violating the site guidelines, I suggest you actually read the article instead of responding to what you assume it says.
Heh, my time with Linux was before then, I think - but only by a couple of years. I do recall having some fun experimenting with StarCraft and NFS: Hot Pursuit (the og 1998 version, not the 2010 remake) under Wine, though.
Ok, so maybe there is dangerous sparky stuff that can be reached in there - but it just shows poor design that they weren’t able to incorporate a frunk and/or isolate/insulate those components to not make opening the hood deathly dangerous.
It’s difficult to determine if the incompetent agencies are that way due to something inherent, or if they have been weakened due to the interference of ideologies.

There are also quite well run government agencies. Parks Dept, Medicare, the food safety groups, etc.

Soviet Central Planning had a lot of other issues besides just being government agencies. It’s useful to understand where they government has done a good job, and where they haven’t, because blanket statements are an ineffective way of looking at a nuanced issue.
Reading the scenes, I don't see these as being incompatible with the overall plot line.

The story presented here is that there were five previous "Ones" and they all faced an agent and were killed. But, if you recall, that's exactly what happens with Neo. His death at the hands of an agent is exactly what "unlocks" his powers. There would need to a be a couple more dialogues in the sequels but it would be trivial to address what happened to the other five after they were "killed".

So while it may be true that there was no master plan for the sequels (and I have absolutely no doubt they came out very different than originally envisioned - that's the creative process), I don't necessarily see this as strong evidence of that fact.

It was probably cut because the subplot just adds complexity for the audience without really adding much to the story.
Cloudflare sometimes triggers those when they think IP reputation is not good. Typically happens for data centre IP ranges as WAF has an anti-bot feature. So I know it is a problem for some.
I get that people will view you as a genius if you have this multi-year, multi-(book/movie) plot all detailed out and slowly reveal it to the world, so there is a benefit in promulgating this idea, but is there actually any content where this technique was used successfully? It seems like it would just be overly restricting to creativity rather than a kind of genius move.

>To be fair, not sure what other results we'd expect if we're going to search for a specific, plagiarized phrase.

Yeah, I posted an exact search solely so people could see examples of the copycat sites. It's not a good example of a real life query in any way, and not useful for comparisons. It is interesting that Google puts one of the copycats above SO though.
I'll just throw "Lost" into the mix. Just about every plot development wound up being directly contradicted in the push to come up with stories for the next season.
I wouldn't normally point this out, but you're missing an apostrophe (should be "guy's"). Good example of Muphry's Law.

Anecdotal, a few years back I had the opportunity to interview an engineer. Their background was in web advertising. Regardless of what I feel about ads on the internet, the candidates technical background with respect to how they handle iframes inside of iframes many levels deep and how they inject code into the page was actually quite a fascinating conversation on the technical merit of it all.
Exactly! Every single time I have imagine there are 2 tracks in something like Logic Pro and the videos stays where it is and I can only shift the subtitle track, once I visualize that I’m able to figure out what needs to be done. I wish it was closer to second nature.
> They stopped supporting the mobile extension. I can no longer invoke 1Password from Safari on iOS.

They did provide an alternative, to be fair -- they're shipping a Safari web extension that you can turn on, which gives you about the same behavior as in a desktop browser.

Honestly, I find that the built in iOS autofill stuff works fine for my purposes. I recognize that's probably very specific to the exact sites I'm using, though...
what is the difference in these two approaches?

I always use the pipe, it is intuitive to me to think left-to-right, output of this becomes input of next. But I always see stackoverflow answers using the other approach.
You can also apply margin via element and nth-child selectors, just as a note... Also - custom/shadow dom elements should allow classes - I think it doesn't work in angular yet - but should arrive in the next version(?). Also you could just use ::before ::after pseudo selectors instead of divs...
Another significant but unnoted design feature is the ability to pass a strap through multiple jerrycans in a row. Essential for mounting them externally to Humvees and MATVs.
Frank Herbert told me that Dune just got too long and so he split it into two books. There would be no further books because he was done writing that one.

And it's not like I was anyone special, just someone he ran into at a party, so I'm sure he was telling lots of people that after Dune Messiah came out.

Spoiler: I suspect none of that was true.
Most older people in Europe would have the BCG vaccine (some countries still give it by default, and those who don't mostly only stopped in the last decade or so), so that probably doesn't have much bearing on it.

VR has been just around the corner for at least 30 years. I remember experiencing my first VR demo in 1997, complete with the gushing marketer convinced that the new age of VR was finally upon us, and this was long after the failed "VR pods" of the early 90s. The argument has always been "The technology is finally real-enough looking and believable! VR is now inevitable!" I argue that VR is not held back by graphic realism, input latency, or lack of content, but the form factor itself. Too few people want to strap something to their face which entirely takes over vision and hearing and then stumble around awkwardly flailing their limbs and hoping they don't run into anything. This fact hasn't changed since the earliest days of the technology.
Agreed on the third point. But the first two have been fixed for quite some time now.

I'd love to see a "How to uninstall Norton Antivirus" video by Peter Norton.
Great question! The real answer is it varies, but for H.264, most just encode on software right now, because GPUs are expensive (especially in the cloud), and the failure rates are really high (if you try to build your own). ffmpeg and lib264 is really fast on modern hardware with decent X86 extensions.

It's also worth noting that YouTube also now builds its own transcoding chips [1], and AWS just launched a dedicated transcoding instances based on Xilinx chips:

The theory presented is that it was cut for running time, not for story arc reasons.

I disagree with the article’s premise that it would have changed the story of the sequels - but they make a good case for it being cut for incidental reasons.
It's been years since I watched Matrix but is there really any conflict between these two Predecessors theories? IIRC actions of the Predecessors resulted not only in the resets of the Matrix but also destruction and recreation of the Zion. Is there any issue with Neo being sixth candidate to be "The One" within a sixth bigger loop? I don't think anyone but the Architect and the Oracle were aware of Matrix resets.
Fortunately Germans and their descendents are fairly well-off, otherwise we'd have to come up with an alternative word for jerrycan that doesn't contain an ethnic slur.

There's non-competes but they're easily circumvented. I know of multiple people who started a sole proprietorship (ie contracting) and took a competing company (for some distant value of "competing") as their customer. Dutch labour law prevents most non-competes in practice.

I once freelanced at a startup that was building a machine that could compete with ASML's 30 year old machines. Those are still being used, resold and refurbished so one of those refurbishing companies (made up of ex ASMLers ofc) thought they could build new ones from scratch.

It worked (after a series of bankruptcies, restarts and acquisitions I might add - it was a rocky ride but not for technical reasons). That doesn't mean they will ever be able to catch up to ASML, or even intend to, but it's clearly possible for ex ASML people plus some young new engineers to build a lithography product. I bet with a few extra years patience you can do without the ex ASML people altogether.

This means that if eg China wants to have their own chip industry, and the US keeps preventing ASML from selling their best machines to China like they currently do, all the Chinese government has to do is encourage a few dozen lithography startups to happen, aimed initially at the low-end of the market. Add some protectionism (eg import tariffs on any chips that could be made by Chinese machines), wait a few decades, and done. I'm pretty sure it'll happen.
Exactly this. I've seen it around on this site a lot lately.

Why do you need all candidates to know this?
That dictionary documents es-, is-, and ēs- as common pronunciations (perhaps IPA vowels ɛ, ɪ, and iː), with the 'es-' form (short e sound) most common in the USA (this is the one I generally hear people use, with a vowel sound somewhere between IPA ɛ, e, ə, æ sounds and short enough that identifying the precise vowel can be tricky) and the ēs- form (long e sound) most common in the UK. Having multiple accepted pronunciations is different from “most people mispronounce this”.

I don’t really understand what you are criticizing. Maybe you can put up an audio recording including what you consider the “correct” and “incorrect” pronunciations to be?
