Yeah, if it’s in a field you are interested in and it improves your career/hiring potential. For example, it’s hard to be a prof without one. If you want to lead a project in biotech/pharma, better get one. It might also be required for professional credentials, but that probably falls under career potential. Might be similar issues in physics-related areas but I have no experience in that (nor biology or the med-related ologies). Probably all of them have a training level (or union card) issue with advanced degrees.

Don’t waste your time getting one on spec. I always thought the tech field looks down on them?

Using forums as pseudonymous identity providers is a very powerful idea. It's essentially community federation. There is of course risk that your IDP chucks your account and you lose access to the other ones, but that's solvable with a recovery scheme.

Lightweight, low assurance credentials probably have the biggest growth future, as if universal high assurance credentials were really that commercially desirable, we'd already have them. These are a kind of affinity credential, which has a lot of optionality.

Expletives are a sign of creative intelligence.

Bad spelling/grammar are mostly just due to modern technology where people communicate differently. Those things aren't as important as they once were. You'll see "highly educated" individuals making the same mistakes.

Lastly, there's the possibility you're speaking with someone who is not a native English speaker. Obviously, with your high IQ you should have been able to consider that scenario though ;)
It took me a while to understand what was going on with your game. Once I got it it was fun, though!

For anyone else confused: the goal is to keep the light colored "snake" moving through the dark colored "tunnel". When the snake stops moving, it's because it's at a junction in the tunnel. You're goal is to tell the snake which direction to go (either left or right) _from its perspective_.
Or, you know, abusers.

Which I consider a larger problem. Since so much abuse is hidden, the perpetrators also can sit on juries related to sexual assault cases. Delightful.
Worst case: monetized in the non-free way. Which might eventually turn out to be the best case.

Less dramatical outcome: roughly the same amount of advertising, roughly the same amount of ad spend/income, just not quite as targeted as it is now. Maybe you are too young to remember, but there used to be a web where not every website showed exactly the same ads to a given user. Ads where targeted more by context/content of the site than by browser history. That era made a certain company very rich that happened to be quite good at inferring context/content of websites using crawler technology.

Most likely outcome: not really any noticeable change, ad mediators will find a subset of tracking data that is sufficient to keep up their current level of targeting creepiness that isn't in judicable contradiction with the GDPR.
Recruiting firms have effectively isolated large companies from whatever discrimination they feel like doing. If you're Joe CEO and you hate black people, you just overpay a small recruiting firm and wink at them not to forward any black people your way. Later, if the recruiting firm gets caught (and that's a big "if" considering how small the firm is), they just fold and re-open somewhere else with the big paycheck you've already given them. The company catches no bad PR because it was the recruiting firm's fault, not theirs.

There's this weird fiction that recruiting companies are only discriminating based on age but they have the ability to discriminate on anything they want.

It makes sense that it would reduce symptoms since cannabis is a systemic immunosuppressant, whereas COVID generates runaway inflammation.

And it solved a problem I’d argue the internet hasn’t solved yet: how to charge users securely, easily and for small amounts. The way it did that is through your phone bill, since the minitel was using your phone line. No credit card number to enter (and be hacked), no credentials to enter. Of course it also meant kids had access to it…

Three Ways to Protect Kubernetes Data from Ransomware
>3) College is way over priced. They claim graduates make 40% over their lifetime vs. non grads. JP Morgan Chase did a study two years ago that shows kids that had a job, any job before age 18 make 35% more than their peers over their lifetime regardless of degree.

Having a job before 18 and getting a bachelors degree are not mutually exclusive, in fact, recent data suggests that about half of all people attending undergraduate school are employed. I personally was employed by 16 and went to college at 18, keeping a job for the entire time to offset some of the costs.

I do agree that student loans are a heinous tool though, even moderate loans accrue huge interest during a formative time in your career and prevent you from saving for retirement during the vital years when your investments have the most time to mature.
Sure, happy to explain further. You have found the testing /event but there is another (make sure your ad-blockers are off).

Wow, awesome! We've had a few startups ask for an HN integration at https://clerk.dev and we'll build this in ASAP.

It would be great if this could somehow verify whether an HN account has been part of YC cohort. A few requests we've received were with the hope of offering early access to YC founders-only before a public release.

Also, I love the OTP solution instead of asking for our HN passwords.

Then in 4-5 years prices would revert, unless it's not just a supply shock and is instead monetarily lead. Prices haven't gone up as much in other countries. The US has one of the highest inflation rates coming out of the pandemic.

Being a good developer is not only about coding skills. It is about right the right product. Sure someone can give you a feature list, but if you have an idea should you implement it - the right answer means you get a large bonus, but the wrong can result in losing your job.

The intramuscular vaccinations currently available were never going to stop the spread and anyone familiar with animal studies of similar approaches to CoV vaccination knew that. Stating bold claims unsupported by balance of evidence and knowledge of mechanisms was a deliberate choice of messaging in hope of increasing campaign uptake.

They're helpful for preventing severe disease and death, for now -- this effect seems to be significantly offset by reduction in risk avoidance behaviours and government support for said behaviours.

The first gen vaccines do appear help somewhat with reducing infectivity period somewhat.. but once again this benefit is diluted when people are told to burn their source control (masks) and get back to the office.

We need better vaccines deliverable to mucosal membranes for infectious aerosol entry point protection and released under open source licensing. We also need better early treatments with sound scientific basis, and better post-acute-'recovery' sequelae treatments developed with the basis of a growing understanding of endothelial and immune pathology downstream of SARS2 infection.

Second from last but not least, we need efficacious airborne transmission interrupting non-pharmaceutical interventions that don't rely solely on individual behaviour. Finally, it would be nice to have fewer grifters and influencers blocking sound action while spreading nonsense.

We use variable magnification for the lenses. That is, the foveal region has a higher PPD and the periphery has a lower PPD. As your eyes follow the same pattern (your fovea has a high resolution, everything else drops off sharply), it's basically a free PPD gain.

Thanks for sharing. It really does make a difference.

Most people's guess as to the rate of occurrence of this kind of abuse would be off by an order of magnitude or more.

In the past 5 years I've become privy to so many dark experiences of close female friends and family. What used to be an outlier experience is now almost.. common? More than one woman I've dated has had to preface intimacy with a harrowing experience. It's been hard for me to deal with this knowledge about people I love, but nevertheless is the truth and must be told.

Take care. I hope the remote work world has helped.
Yea, I don't get the appeal of watching someone pretend they haven't seen "The Empire Strikes Back" and are watching it for the first time and are agog at the the twist.
> Anecdotally, this is true of Netflix

i thought this was a bug and I contacted Netflix about it. found out it isn't a bug, it's a feature. although i do not know anyone who would actually watch a 2hr movie the very next day after watching it in the first place. realistically their discovery algorithm is not really an algorithm, more like a static list of their own productions. i do wonder if the "like/dislike" buttons have any sort of effect, but it doesn't seem so.

i rarely use Spotify as a music discovery tool. i usually read reviews from various sites then I search Spotify for the exact album/song. but what i found is that Spotify can actually give me some good recommendation after i filled a playlist with songs that i like.
From the source [0]: Higher education enrollment fell a further 2.7 percent in the fall of 2021 following a 2.5 percent drop in the preceding fall. Continued enrollment losses in the pandemic represent a total two-year decline of 5.1 percent or 938,000 students since fall 2019.

In the linked PDF, they note they don't have complete data on international students. "In recent years, IPEDS enrollments in the nonresident alien category have accounted for nearly five percent of all IPEDS enrollments."

28% is much lower than the ~37% failure rate to graduate in 6 years in US.

In somewhere like Iran you may see very high graduation rates in part because you may need to be selected as best student (a former employer I interviewed with, the owner got into college because he was best math student in a class of something like 1000 children.)

Dropout rate because of failure to adapt, of course, would be a good thing. Those who aren't fit for a career in engineering for instance were rapidly ejected into a different program from my public college I went to (like 25+% ejected first year, memory says it was more like 50%), which meant very few people wasted lots of money on a dead career path.
Fascinating and important study, but I have a hard time understanding how they missed a blatant spelling error in the abstract...

You can't sanitize "correctly" if you don't know where the data will be used. This is exactly why the article advocates for escaping output (e.g. immediately before inserting a string into a SQL query) rather than sanitizing input (e.g. by deleting single-quotes or other potentially problematic characters from strings as soon as they're received).
This doesn't seem consistent with the general Schrems II ruling (which was specifically about cross-border data transfer previously thought covered via EU-US Privacy Shield), and that AWS has specifically commented on https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/customer-update-aws-an... and https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/aws-and-eu-data-transf....

Is there a specific ruling or case that says AWS as a provider, regardless of where the actual data processing happens, is prohibited, this out that you can point me to?

Disagree; I've had people bring up projects from my Github in interviews, and I didn't even have anything impressive up there. Even when they don't it gives you something to talk about yourself. I implemented a horribly basic version of chess and one interviewer had played it and found a bug, which was kind of embarrassing.

They are very effective at reinforcing social hierarchies through force
Here is a prime example of toxic cyberbullying involving a friend of mine. She was relentlessly bullied for not fitting some cookie-cutter mold of what is "ideal" for a female athlete, or even "ideal" for a woman in general. What was done to her is simply unacceptable, social media can be pure cancer. We CAN do better than this, so why aren't we?
sure, but if performance in those types of questions are a good predictor of success in the job then I'd go on asking them. Probably they aren't but just saying "I won't need this in my job so I won't ask in an interview" is short sighted.
There's been about 5 years now, where the common refrain is to just use a smartphone camera. And in some cases people are literally writing an app and strapping a cellphone to a drone, but it's not ideal. This arducam camera is the closest thing to an embedded cellphone camera that is actually usable in robotics.

As a lay-person and not an epidemiologist, what logic is there for the idea that mRNA treatments that synthesize a single protein could be better than an actual infection which produces hundreds of those proteins per replication along with dozens or more proteins that may be used by the immune system to identify the virus?

Traditional vaccines at least dump most of the target viral proteins into the body.

Focusing on a single protein that may mutate in the target virus has always seemed myopic to me, let alone the assumption that this approach could possibly be more effective than an immune response to the actual virus. I’m not saying that this approach couldn’t work, just that it would, by definition, trigger a subset of the immune response of a whole virus vaccine.

Edit to add: by better, I mean better at triggering an immune response. I’m not arguing against the idea that a targeted, single protein approach is or is not better at reducing illness or death and therefore shouldn’t be pursued, just about the idea that recovered individuals would be less protected than a vaccinated individual on average.
Except they didn't make that point at all, because it's not relevant to a mandate. Please don't try to rewrite the quotes I am citing to make them support your point as that is literally trying to rewrite history. We have a word for that, and it's "gaslighting".
I think the people that can afford a sabbatical are a limited set. I think the difference lately is that so much of the economy is software focused so there is a need for developers that has not existed before.
We don't have hard numbers on kids, but we have some very solid numbers from young adults.

From 2020 Statistics Canada study of university students:

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/85-002-x/2020001/article...

>> One in ten (11%) women students experienced a sexual assault in a postsecondary setting during the previous year. About one in five (19%) women who were sexually assaulted said that the assault took the form of a sexual activity to which they did not consent after they had agreed to another form of sexual activity—for example, agreeing to have protected sex and then learning it had been unprotected sex.

>> Less than one in ten women (8%) and men (6%) who experienced sexual assault, and less than one in ten women (9%) and men (4%) who had experienced unwanted sexualized behaviours spoke about what happened

Given that last stat, we should take whatever number we have for reported assaults' and multiply it by at least ten to cover all the unreported events.
Yea, it would have caused more deaths from lack of treatment from additional surgeries, heart attacks and cancers which would have been left untreated. It would have put an absolutely devastating consequence on social care that would have a long lasting impact.

It would have also prevented scaling of health systems due to a distinct and dramatic shortage in staffing and long term backlog.

The decision above was purely economic. You would have to be really stupid to think the people in charge would shut down trillion dollar industries because the parents of some children died.

None of that is what could be derived or implied from your statement you condescending prick. If that is what you were implying, maybe you should get a better grasp of English so that your point could come across clearer.
Insert using SQL parameters is "escaping". The parameterization ensures that the data being passed gets interpreted by the DB as the expected data type by ensuring special characters aren't interpreted as "special" in that context.
If prices are up 30%-100% in some instances, and stay up 50% despite the supply chain recovery, then it's not only because of the supply chain. The US has one of the highest inflation rates coming out of the pandemic. Japan essentially has had no inflation.

>That's fine. We have ways to do monetary policy while accepting whatever else is going on.

That assuming you think the Fed won't make a major policy mistake or hasn't already. You act like monetary policy is simple, it's not. I think MMTers have ruined a lot of people's perception on the complexity of monetary policy.
A lot of these kinds of articles, on both sides of the argument, and on a lot of other unrelated arguments, can all be summed up as "I can't imagine people have a different opinion from mine, so I'll just make fun of them."

> This isn't something that I have to personally worry about if I'm by myself, but it's something that so many women do have to worry about all the time. I can't even imagine the burden that women must carry.

Not just women, but children. I was aware that I could be sexually assaulted/harrassed and what to do about it by the time I was 5, and I started getting uncomfortable comments in person around age 11. I'm also exceptionally lucky and have never actually been assaulted.

Not particularly relevant to most people here, but some of you will have daughters, so.

Edit: Also relevant potentially to your colleagues and co-workers, since one reason I stopped participating in tech spaces while I was a teenager (I still coded, just only alone or anonymously) was because I felt unsafe being a 13-14 year old girl who was the only female in a room/space with dozens of men, some of whom were 2-3 times my age. I don't think I can overstate the danger alarm bells, especially given how rampant homophobia was back then and I was also gay.
