What ‘Educated’ Was Trying to Say About Student Debt
A lot of times this is a problem with the software they contract. Taleo in particular has an absolutely terrible UX.

The vast majority of companies don’t have an in-house solution.

I’ve noticed there is some other SAAS a lot of companies are using lately for their hiring portal where there is a single page for both the specific job, all the fields you need to enter to apply (notably not including rehashing all your past experience) and a link to upload your resume + submit. It might be white labeled lever, but I’m not sure.
You can just rotate the code every few months to wear different keys?
If the consequence is blocking, that's completely acceptable. If the consequence is that I have to comply with the laws of 200 jurisdictions and probably more or otherwise get arrested if I step foot on their soil (or pass through their airspace), that's completely unacceptable.
This was exactly the feeling in the air around year 2000. Irrational exuberance is what they termed it. Be interesting to see how the current climate evolves.
> ... in some countries (eg. Belgium) wages are automatically adapted to inflation

Only certain wages. Like public servant wages. Private companies paying normal people regular wages aren't forced to give them a raise. The minimal wage may inflate but if you're paid above minimal wage, there's no guarantee you'll see a raise.

It's only once you compare the performance of Twitter to other tech shares and realize the last 12 years were the biggest tech bull market in history. And Twitter shows zero return.

As a web programmer, for whom the majority of this article is not only new, but difficult to comprehend, it makes me yearn to improve my web security knowledge. Any pointers?
> move somewhere with really bad schools

I alluded to this in my other post, but unconsciously what people mean when they talk about school quality is "how many of the families are at least as educated/rich as we are?" Kids with educated parents fare better in school, so if you have a lot of educated families in a place, magically the schools improve.

The corollary to this is that when educated people move somewhere, the schools get better. have seen this happen in a number of city neighborhoods in my area and others. And NYC is going through this now, as millionaires move to Brooklyn.
> We are not smarter than our ancestors. Human brain size is down 20% from peak, and is continuing to shrink.

Processors in 2000 were ~42nm in size, now they’re ~5nm in size. Not only did they get faster as they grew smaller, they became more efficient as well.

Ugh honestly the text adverts are more annoying than banners and the like. It makes it feel like the _content of the site itself_ is being optimized for revenue, rather than being useful content. And god forbid you hover the wrong word and bring up a 400x400 popover telling you how great some product is.

Maybe these aren't AdSense text adverts, but this was my general experience with text adverts as a whole.
> my account locked up and said there was "suspicious activity" and if I wanted to continue I needed to supply my phone number.

I have repeatedly heard it said that Twitter does this for every single new account as a matter of course. Twitter wants your phone number, but don’t want you to bounce right at registration.
If only there were some way that European citizens could have told their browsers to not accept Cookies, then maybe we all wouldn't have to click on those banners all the damn time.

basically CORS gives you zero defense against csrf. (ok, not zero, but also not much)
Right, wasn't an app called Parler banned just for giving a voice to right-wing people in the USA?
Then what do you mean by your remark about how atheists "derive" their moral beliefs? rayiner's comment was about the religious origins of certain beliefs and their persistence in Western societies--not about whatever explicit justification contemporary atheists or believers might offer for those beliefs. In your comment you seem to be disregarding the former question to focus attention entirely on the latter.
I don't believe Quora does this any more. They used to blur the entire page without a login but they relaxed that a couple of years ago now. I do notice that sometimes extended threads still seem to be behind a login wall but it's seems somewhat sporadic and inconsistent.
Ah, OK, interesting! I don't have an immediate use case personally, but I wish you guys the very best. Honestly, database space needs way more competition than it has at present.

There are countless permutations of the choices that database designers face, so it's a shame there aren't mature products for more of them. I hope this particular permutation turns out to be a good one for lots of people :)
The article appears to confuse several different mechanism, that all would manifest in inflation. On one hand there is the expansion of the monetary base after the financial crisis, that never ended up as price increases because the money got stuck in the stock market and businesses increase prices when they believe their customers can pay more, that is when wages rise. On the other hand, what we are seeing right now is the market adjusting to a covid economy, people suddenly need webcams, better laptops and office chairs and consequently these products rise in price because there are not enough of them. Now, in the second case the central bank can't do much about the inflation, because it is a production problem, not a monetary problem.
Gambling with Our Privacy: Report Shows the Reality of Surveillance Advertising
Honestly? It's because their ads are trash. I know lots of marketing people and they all stay away from using them.

Say what you will about Facebook and Instagram, their ads are better overall. There's been several times an Instagram ad showed up in my feed, and I said shut up and take my money.

Nothing like that has ever happened on Twitter for me.
Covid lockdowns shifted attitudes about wfh so significantly.

I wonder what would happen to society if we had a month where all advertising stopped. People would find new ways to buy things, and the economy would continue in new adaptive ways. Would be really interesting to see what would happen after the prohibition was lifted.
I fail to see how controlled builds would have prevented Marak pushing a patch release that broke everyone.

I never understand these database checks and reference checks anyway. How many times have consumers had to notify the credit agencies of errors on their credit report? Who really goes requesting records on what Lexis Nexus and work number have on them much less correct any errors? I know folks that have database records where they are concurrent working three jobs in two different states but no one brother to correct.

HR employment verification is usually outsourced since businesses want to reduce costs. I'm surprised anyone from HR returns calls or emails when other company is asking for references or employment verification in any timely manner.
I have a question for you Brad (hope you see this):

How would you characterize the suitability of Chapel for (what is being called) ML-Ops both in terms of work distribution (something like 'Ray' etc.) and interop with ML/GPU libraries and frameworks?
Would be interesting to know how it fares against Prisma which is becoming pretty popular these days.

Not quite analogous.
If they ask for my zip code every time I buy something cash that's more similar.

It's still a difference between not having data and not storing it.

If you do business in a country, laws of that country apply to you. Selling apps in that country would count I presume. Part of the threat from the german government was to have GPlay and Apple delete the app from german storefronts.

I don't see how that is much of an issue.
Is there a corresponding result that gives the number of examples needed to provide a sufficient training set for a given physical phenomenon? I’m imagining a high-dimensional equivalent of Nyquist’s sampling theorem.

Coupled with this result, we’d then have a reasonable estimator of the network size required for particular tasks before even starting the data collection.
Roughly, for every extra percentage of interest, your maximum mortage becomes 15% lower.
No. Just because your model of something isn't predicting as well as before doesn't mean it is 'all wrong'.

Inflation only favors the debtor if he doesn’t have to take on more debt. USG has a lot of short term debt it needs to continuously roll over. If inflation persists, the yields will go up, so USG will roll over the current low interest rate debt to new high interest rate debt. Given how much debt it has, the service payments will skyrocket: at 130% debt to GDP ratio, and at 27% tax to GDP ratio, each 1 percentage point increase in yields translates to additional 1.3% worth of GDP going to debt service payments, which is around 5% of total government spending.

That means that if current inflation persists, and the bond investors will expect 7% inflation instead of 2% inflation, they’ll demand bond yields to be at least 5 percentage points higher. This will make the debt service payments go from current 6% of the budget to nearly 1/3rd of it, a tremendous increase. This will only increase fiscal pressure on the government, making it less credit worthy, which will push yields even higher.

No, if you’re indebted above your head with mostly short term debt, inflation does not make you happy.

Over-parameterization for regularization is really old. The pseudoinverse min-norm solution for under-determined linear systems even has that flavor.
It's interesting that it almost works like the digital cliff.

In average to crappy conditions, minimalism will be more effort and work to make sure everything is put away and straightened, much like analog video being lower quality.

Non minimalist places can function perfectly well with a moderate amount of clutter, and it's easier to work in, because things will be findable just by scanning your environment, right up until you suddenly find you can't tell the difference between the table and the dumpster.

With tech, that theoretically doesn't happen, because digital should give a "Link quality low" alert before things actually get too bad, but with your living space, it's all on you to notice things are getting bad.

It's probably about time for a more detailed theory of design that takes into account what specifically you are trying to minimize or maximize, the usual discussions don't distinguish between complexity, item count, physical volume, cost, reliability, and attention demand.

Increasing complexity can often get rid of all the rest of them(As in going all paperless), and decorations are low attention demand.

Whereas the single function analog stuff that some hardcore minimalism enthusiasts like(Like film cameras and dead tree tax papers), often have high space requirements and can easily be weapons of mass cluttering if not carefully put away.
No but that is orthogonal to the discussion.

I think social media for political shit posting will be the first to splinter. In other words, Twitter will split into multiple smaller Twitters each targeting a specific political group.
For me, a big part of the value of typehints isn’t just the legibility, it’s also helping the interpreter to help me. I can have the interpreter tell me that a string got passed into a function instead of the list of strings that I was expecting, or I can have have my code output a single letter instead of a whole word from the array access call in my code.

I’ll figure out the bug eventually either way, but having the compiler give me the clearer warning earlier in the development process (sometimes even from pure static analysis) is a significantly more pleasurable development experience and a potential time saver

And 50X that, especially the time saved, if I’m integrating with code you didn’t author.
Sorry, what exactly is this "top block thing", on which StackExchange site?

I didn't manually block anything from these sites, but don't see any annoying block near the top.

Well, the main "stackexchange.com" has a dialog-box-like element titled "StackExchange Q&A Communities are Different. Here's how:", with a bunch of content, and a [Learn More] button. You can close this with the X in the top right corner. Is this it?

I guess it doesn't bother me because I've never found that site useful to begin with.

The dismissible block is not actually at the top; it's below the "search all sites" toolbar, and below that block there isn't any particularly useful content, just "hot questions" and a sidebar of "featured sites". Basically nothing other than that toolbar is useful, and that toolbar could just be a tiny browser extension or something. So if I dismiss that box, no useful content moves up to occupy that space. It could bother me a bit if I were interested in browsing the hot questions, rather than search.

Maybe DuckDuckGo has a shortcut for it? Hey, yes it does: !se

If you use DDG, you have no need to visit stackexchange.com just to search all the SE sites; just !se in front of your search terms.
The Reddit mobile website might be the worst. Every aspect of it is geared to making it as annoying as possible to use so that you are forced to download their app (or go find a better 3rd party one).

Density is also important. If we look at other things - some recent studies have been done on number-counting (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rstb.2020.052...) or bird brains (https://www.gwern.net/docs/psychology/neuroscience/2020-herc...) - density jumps out as a major predictor. African elephants may have some more neurons, but the density isn't as great as a human where it counts, so they are remarkably intelligent (like ravens and crows), but still not human-level. There are diminishing returns in both directions. We have more neurons than any bird as much or more dense, and we have more density than any elephant with as many or more neurons. Put that together, and we squeak across the finish line to being just smart enough to create civilization.

An analogy: what's the difference between a supercomputer, and the same number of CPUs scattered across a few datacenters? It's that in a supercomputer, those CPUs are packed physically as close as possible with expensive interconnects to allow them to communicate as fast as possible. (For many applications, the supercomputer will finish long before the spread out nodes ever finish communicating and idling.) But you need to improve both or else your new super-fast CPUs will spend all their time waiting on Infiniband to chug through, or your fancy new Infiniband will be underutilized and you should've bought more CPUs.
The Schlage one I bought took about 3 or 4 years before keys started showing signs of wear. We rotate the code every ~3 years now to wear out the other keys and now they are all pretty much equally worn 7 years later.
Doesn't NextJS solve this ?
I did this on my workstation. I used it for a short while. Then I realized that I was actually putting a thing into the world that circumvents the entire security infrastructure of the world. Then I needed to do it for a server. Local only. Never production.

Then I thought, WTF am I doing?. I realized that I was making computers that would circumvent the world's security apparatus. Of course it won't hurt if I make no errors of practice or judgement but, am I really smart enough to handle highly radioactive material.

I ripped it all out. It makes me shudder thinking about it.
I'm not sure this is true - the base case seems to be the Eurozone, the countries of which intervened in their economies enough to forestall a depression, but not to the extent that the US did. Eurozone inflation is just a notch above 5%, unemployment rate right about 7%. In the US it's 7% and 4% respectively. In effect, the US traded a ~2% rise in yearly inflation for a ~3% reduction in unemployment. Reasonable people can disagree on whether that was a good trade, but to say that we could have just "skipped" all the COVID disruptions and maintained low inflation, low unemployment and typical GDP growth strikes me as fantasy land. There wasn't any magical economic policy prescription that would make everything "normal".
I don't understand the benefit. It's just a query language on top of Postgres? It doesn't seem to have the performance characteristics of a graph database, while acting like it does. JOINS will still be expensive. You guys shouldn't use the word graph, misleading.
Can someone versed in legal matters explain - why was a bill even necessary? Isn't sexual assault a criminal matter, which, to my understanding, makes it immune to contract law?

"Instant camera" is a phrase I haven't heard in what feels like a lifetime. Amazing how quickly they lost prevalence.

Hearing it feels like a fever dream, I had to question if I knew the phrase at all.
But look, the goal is "find the path that costs the least to traverse". The stated problem with A* is "running A* is too expensive". Why mix the outside-the-universe cost of running A* into the within-universe cost of traversing the path?

If you've already paid the cost of scanning a path, the cost of using the knowledge you gained from that is still zero.

CVE-2022-0435: Remote Stack Overflow in Linux Kernel TIPC Module Since 4.8
No it's a database aggregate with information from banks, card companies, and other business you've interacted with. It's not always accurate since not all companies report anything or everything to these companies. Many companies outsource a portion of their HR serveries to third-party and thus there are databases of where individuals work.
It's a mix of hand drawn animations and 3D. Not sure about those exact ones, though. He did lots of work and teaching in generative art (Processing, OpenFrameworks), exhibition/interaction-design, and related fields in art+tech.

If you’re a data analyst, then of course infra and sysops activities on cloud seem complicated. I’m sure a sysadmin could run/write sql, but would find the rest of your domain complicated too.
To put it in perspective, if you invested $10k in TWTR in 2013, I invested $10k in GOOG, and Mary invested $10k in AMZN - you'd have $9k, I'd have $55k, and Mary would have $90k

Yep. Frontend frameworks get you a slick looking responsive GUI with not much effort (you are outsourcing most of the design work). This wows the average VC. The VC funds you rather than the team with an architecturally simple frontend, and the framework flywheel gains momentum.
:-D

I have to admit, I didn't get that far. It's a bit hard for me to connect since I've never used a TRS-80 AFAICR. I think I played around with an early Tandy PC (maybe a Tandry 1000?) in the sole Tandy shop on the Isle of Man, and I did support work on one or two in the very late 1980s. (Anyone else remember Deskmate?)

Nobody knows where any of their data goes and few people care. Tiktok is currently better at Algorithms than other SM, go figure. Some people hate Tiktok because they’ve never used it and incorrectly think it’s all dancing 14 year olds; others simply hate China because despite having a market economy its government has a little more power than in the West, which allows China to sometimes act outside the myopic lens of market logic when necessary (blasphemy) while reaping the market’s gains.

They're saying if we'd just "let 'er rip" from the beginning that the economic impact would have been lower and that this would have been preferable.

Ignoring, of course, the fact that if we'd done so then the death toll would have been pretty horrendous and that if everyone's sick or afraid of getting sick the economy is still going to to get screwed.
