Citizenship is irrelevant to GDPR.

A non-EU company could probably request at least some proof that you're in scope if they have reasonable doubts about if you are, but I suspect in practice many find it easier to just oblige a reasonable request they have a process for than getting into the weeds of scope and risk getting it wrong. (i.e. I suspect there's some fun legal nuance in scenarios like "I'm a US citizen living in the US that applied and got rejected 3 months ago, now I'm on holiday in Copenhagen and writing an access request" - I could see ways of arguing that either way depending on the circumstances, but also am not a lawyer). Although a request for interview information like this might be enough hassle to be restrictive.
Given this is going through traditional payment infrastructure it should be easy enough to follow the money, no?
to get around to the algorithmic portion of the interview process (filling out your GPA and hoping for a recruiter call), try reaching out to the recruiters directly. they only go to that pool when their existing leads runs dry, and they'd often love the opportunity to add some self motivated candidates.

How I got my job is I searched linkedIn for <company name> + recruiter and just added all of them. That alone generated lots of recruiter calls. This was 2018, not sure if things have changed
Not much better in theory, and the implementation details are not very well documented to say the least, same with Intel ME. Sometimes there are uefi settings that let you turn these off. Me_cleaner can at least cripple the ME. So strange that we have to deal with this, along with many hardware having an independent system running god knows what.

1 meter wide stone walls, mortar, no foundations and wooden beams is what my family house in Spain is made of. It has been there for several hundred years with absolutely 0 structural remodeling, some cosmetic work has been done. Seeing the house will be there for few more years, not sure 1000 though.

If I am correct some of the Romanesque constructions don’t need wood and those have been there for 1000 years.

The seismic activity in Spain is almost null, which I guess matters for this structures.

In normal operation - true. However, from a technical perspective, any zone operator above yours has the capability to take over your domain(s). While I agree that the root zone operators abusing this power is highly unlikely, for TLD operators under some legal/government pressure this can be quite likely. In fact, domain name seizure is quite a common procedure around the world.

Almost certainly speaker wire or something similar acting as an antenna. You can find videos of the phenomenon on YouTube. The creepy voice would just be down to distortion; it can sound a lot like someone is using a voice changer, as though they're a movie villain making a phone call.

I wouldn't put much stock into what the phrases sounded like. It's easy to misunderstand distorted speech, especially when you're primed to hear something weird or spooky. The repeated "duct tape, duct tape" seems like what one would expect from someone using a walkie-talkie, where repeating words for the sake of clarity is common. E.g., "all stations, all stations, blah blah blah...".

I replaced my CPAP with a mouth guard that keeps my lower jaw forward to open my airway just for the purpose of not having to lug around a CPAP. Given how much CPAPs suck, I don't know why the mouth guard isn't the very first thing they try for people with airway obstruction.

There's a meta question here of the feedback loop.

If I pay via coins / credit card the parking meter will tell me "Okay, you have XY minutes left." If I pay via the app, does the meter update as well? If I pay via the scam app... presumably there is no feedback loop, though people may not realize this.

As a second order effect, wouldn't it make sense to investigate the domain and find the owners? Assuming they are paying some other party to put these stickers up the owners of the domain are the real problem. Telling residents to educate each other feels similar to the trope of you are a "victim of identity theft" when Equifax loses your personal details.

I'm not asking "is looking at your phone while stationary in traffic bad".

I'm asking "the whole cycling through traffic with a headcam, actively not looking in front of you while doing so, fishing for people on their phones in order to aggravate them then doxx them ... isn't this a dick move and a safety concern in itself?"

As for the guy with the phone, if I was stationary for a whole minute, and had checked google maps for a traffic report in that time, I'd be pretty pissed off if some vigilante was trying to paint crap out of context to cause trouble for the purpose of ad revenue on youtube. Especially when they were being a public hazard while doing so.

Fair point. Still, don't build the machine for them. Make them build it themselves, for two reasons. First, it slows them down at least a little bit. Second, it makes it clear to others that this isn't normal - that they're going further than anyone else has been willing to go. Those two things are still useful, even if they can in fact build the machine and start using it.

I agree. It's so good to always have access to all controls at all times. KSP has a modal interface. Translation is only enabled while in docking mode and it randomly switches back to normal out of nowhere.

Lost count of how many maneuvers I screwed up due to mode errors. Not being in docking mode or being in the wrong docking mode. For some reason switching from the galaxy map back to the ship would turn off docking mode every time. I'd try to decelerate my ship only to end up rolling out of control and by the time I manage to stabilize it's too late. Best case scenario I'd simply overshoot my space station and have to waste propellant maneuvering back to it. Worst case scenario I smash right into it at ludicrous speeds.

Ive only got ten years under my belt, but I don't think I have ever had to compile a driver! perhaps a few times in Arch, although it would be an AUR thing and hardly and intensive manual process. But certainly not in debian-based stuff. I dont even understand what it would be like to have the bad experiences people do with it.

I can only assume its hardware disparity. I never have much money so I always get older cheaper hardware I can afford, where support has most likely had time to mature. Perhaps people with these negative impressions of Linux are trying to install distros on newer, bleeding edge stuff?

Windows doesn't work for everybody either, and I do mean actual problems with Windows not working, even pre-installed from the factory.

I don't even have to look outside the circle of people I know in person to have seen this. Googling for Windows not working with $X specific laptop instantly reveals quite a treasure trove beyond the people I know, where $X can be pretty much any Windows laptop. Everything from fingerprint readers no longer working to even simple things like the function key hotkeys no longer working.

Issues with sound drivers not working are far from unheard of on Windows laptops.

You definitely seem to have missed their point, and, in my opinion, you're being unnecessarily antagonistic.
Shameless plug.

I have been building a blog using Next.js (for static content) with Pluto (for interactive and richer content, inspired from MIT Intro to Computation Thinking).

The craziest part of tech interviews for me is the way its just accepted that you do it this way regardless of how long someone has been in the industry.

If companies were grilling people new to the career trying to figure out if they could FizzBuzz their way out of wet paper bag (I realize some can't) it would be one thing. Without a track record you don't have much to go on, but the fact that you can work in the industry for decades, ship well-received products people have heard of, have a long list of references willing to verify that you were instrumental in shipping those products, and a lot of companies still expect you to jump through "reverse this string in place" type code puzzles seems kinda bonkers to me... but a lot of the industry just accepts that This Is The Way.

You can bypass this with direct personal connections of course, but its weird to me that so many companies put effectively 0 weight into prior easy to verify accomplishments if the people looking to hire don't know the person on a personal level.

Having self-hosted for a long time, I find it's getting easier in a lot of ways what with Docker and all.

I'm starting to wonder where "Sandstorm 2.0" is. Sandstorm, for those who don't know, was basically an attempt to make self hosting really viable, but was tragically ahead of its time because it predated Docker. So they burned tons of effort on sandboxing, and wrapping existing applications into their sandbox, and it was just too hard to port things into their world to get very many applications running.

It seems like a project that would do that in terms of docker-compose files could be created for much less effort, and maybe not quite all the pretty-shiny they had. But as I'm struggling right now a bit to bring up a Bitwarden server, there's still pain around setting up the forwards properly and getting the Let's Encrypt certificate. Something that managed all this better wouldn't be too hard, and could just be slammed up on a small AWS instance or something would be easy. (Branching out to other services over time or something.) Plus setting up proper backups would be nice. We're so, so much closer to being able to do this nowadays than we used to be... for instance, S3 has also become a near universal API, so backups using it have gotten to be easy but they can still be done without vendor lockin.

Then it would be really easy to self-host an RSS reader or something.

I'm hoping this will either prompt someone to consider this project, or prompt someone to tell me "It already exists, go here and here and run this docker command to install it."
Alright, I'll bite.

Consider a “decentralised” blockchain system that does the work of The Pirate Bay – providing hashes of particular files, along with their names, so that people can select and request data from the P2P network.

How, exactly, does this system help with RSS in any way?

Additionally, how does this system help with the “censorship” issues that The Pirate Bay has? Even when The Pirate Bay remains up, that doesn't mean anybody's seeding.

And a blockchain-based system has to have this limitation. If all the data is directly on the blockchain, nobody can actually download it all, so the blockchain becomes unverifiable and ceases to have any cryptographic properties at all. (In short, there's no benefit to a blockchain at all.)

> If logs bring you some sort of value, then log away. If they don't, then don't.

The issue is -- some people find value in the logs but some other people don't.

I am in the strong camp that find logging provide negative value, mostly due to the extra complexity it brings and its obstruction on code reading. And I believe the reason the other camp finds value in logging is because they lack insight to pin-point issues and lack effort to gain that insight. But I can't really use that argument because it can easily be deemed offensive and solicit slash backs rather than constructive discussions and debates.

Logging is my most frustrating pet peeves.

Scientists just discover facts. Even small facts can be significant. How often have you seen "Obscure math theory that was widely accepted to be true finally proven"? The news media decides which facts are worth reporting on. I'm not disagreeing with this fact, but it's always good to remember that on a slow news day, the news media likes to overhype trivial facts.

I'm really surprised this hasn't happened sooner. Parking along the seawall in galveston used to be free. Now you pay with a smart meter.

I imagine they are using pay stations rather than meters. If that is the case I don't think people would ever look at it after paying via app.
I would say the pricing is a bit more advantageous than the competitors like Asana and some features are slightly different like timelines / polls .
>no hardware module can spy on an OS that knows exactly how the module works and can actively deny it any access.

I don't think so. If you skim through the Intel ME wiki article, which is one of such systems, it works almost completely independently from the computer, having separate and privileged access to different hardware, like the ethernet card, and doing whatever it pleases - including working while the computer itself is turned off.

Leaving password auth on is simply negligent.

That said, blocking all countries that you don't expect to talk to is the world's second easiest security fix, and protects other processes you might have running, and other unknown vectors that might be worse, such as heartbleed.
there’s literally nothing brittle about a $15 dollar pair of merino socks though, which is the argument I was responding to. If you lose it you can still buy a cheap backup and still have socks, nobody is spending all their time and energy worrying about losing a pair of $15 socks. Some things really do provide more value for a higher price, but everyone’s utility curve is different for each item.

Mostly though i think it comes down to the old joke “everyone who spends more than me is wasting their money on exorbitant whatever and everyone who spends less than me is a cheapskate.”
> “If you're going to die and you're being denied the medicine that can save you, would you rather break the law and live, or be a good upstanding citizen and a corpse?”

It's obviously better to risk using DIY medicine than to die, and it sounds appealing—mutual aid, neighbors helping neighbors, saving lives with free medicine! But framing it this way significantly misrepresents the issue of for-profit medicine.

People mostly aren't dying because they can't afford life-saving medicine. They are selling their homes, emptying retirement accounts and their kids college funds, going into debt and going bankrupt to pay for life-saving medicine.

These guys have given people a new option. You don't have to go into debt—you could instead choose DIY medicines of dubious quality that could have costly medical consequences for you.

This isn't quite as appealing. It isn't some radical, utopian alternative. It's just how the system works today for poor people in so many areas of life: education, housing, food, medical care, etc. The rich can afford quality, while the poor have to make hard trade-offs and take risks to stretch their dollars.
