> The misconduct mostly involved junior assurance staff, who shared online documents containing answers to internal assessments, it said.

This is some major BS right here. "The rogue engineer", "the junior staff", etc. I've seen it more times than I can count, this was organized by management because with all those certifications junior staff can be sold as experienced. I've seen such "juniors" not being able to understand even the language used in a meeting despite ostensibly being the most qualified people in the room.

Audit is the area in which this happens most of the time because it's where all the legitimacy and plausible deniability come from. And I know all major EU institutions tried this at least once in their existence: put junior auditor staff with creatively obtained certifications on what were supposed to be senior positions then when some bubble burst in the media everything was spun with the same wording as above. Just some misconduct of junior staff with no knowledge or involvement of senior management (I'd wager that as we speak ~80% of auditing staff in all EU institutions is junior or inexperienced staff).

In reality this happens either to extract more money for low value individuals or to provide ass covering for senior management, boards, presidents, and CEOs, by giving them the possibility to say their best intentions and actions were derailed by a rookie mistake from an inexperienced employee.
Kinda surprised that in the US the firms oversee this at all. Reminds me of the Boeing FAA self-certification fiasco
At YouTube's scale I don't see how you can have manual reviewers without making it a paid service. The amount of videos uploaded per day is just way too high.
I watched it. It's a talk at Yale university, followed by a discussion. Many students in the audience actually are from former Soviet Union states. It's three years old and yet warns of exactly the kind of situation we're in now.

Really an excellent talk, and one of the most insightful things I have heard so far about this whole Ukraine situation. Thank you for sharing this.

No. I meant that Ukraine will be under complete Russian control within weeks.

Same here, but in Denmark many house owners are already struggling with prices on electricity going from DKK 2.000/month to 5.000/month. And this is before Putin invaded Ukraine.

And now gas and oil prices seem to be rising, triggering Biden to state that these increases will be dealt with.

So no, I'm not optimistic about sanctions even though I also think Ukraine must come first.

Interesting read, especially now that long term deficient political activities show their symptoms in the form of Brexit, Ukraine, etc.

Basically, look out for these clinical features of the hubris syndrome when it comes to people in positions of leadership and power:

1/ sees the world as a place for self-glorification through the use of power

2/ has a tendency to take action primarily to enhance personal image

3/ shows disproportionate concern for image and presentation

4/ exhibits messianic zeal and exaltation in speech

5/ conflates self with nation or organisation

6/ uses the royal ‘we’ in conversations

7/ shows excessive self-confidence

8/ manifestly has contempt for others

9/ shows accountability only to a higher court (history or God)

10/ displays the unshakable belief that he will be vindicated in that court

11/ loses contact with reality

12/ resorts to restlessness and impulsive actions

13/ allows moral rectitude to obviate consideration of practicality, cost or outcome, and

14/ displays incompetence with disregard for the nuts and bolts of policy-making.

honestly? just start drawing from life every single day. then do some referenced imaginative drawing, e.g; redraw the subject of your life drawings from a few different angles/with different simple lighting setups from your head, try to replicate the rendering style of an artist or painting that you like.
supplement this study with ONE anatomy resource and ONE perspective resource and maybe one dynamic drawing resource [scott robertson's how to draw, peter han drawing courses]
if you are going to invest money into anything, maybe buy a nice plaster cast, an ecorche figure and a simple lighting setup. try to find figure drawing sessions in your area that you can attend. as you become comfortable with drawing simple indoor subjects, start doing some plein air studies as well.

imo pretty much all the anatomy and perspective books are more or less equal, they are all using different methods to get to the same place, so just look at some pictures and choose the style that makes the most sense to you. personally i like zarins and was very impressed by scott eaton's courses. the most important thing is to simply draw as much as possible even if your output is utter garbage [and no matter how devastating producing garbage is to your ego], no book and no amount of money can do that part for you. similar to language acquisition, the most effective way to build drawing skills in a short amount of time is through pure immersion; turning drawing, like speaking into a natural extension of your everyday life. find ways to incorporate your life into drawing and you will get good.

with that said, these are the resources that helped me out the most in the beginning, plus a few that i wish i had read much earlier

There’s no need to drill down ultra deep if you leverage recent advances in horizontal drilling to creat a series of looping branches off of a central trunk, as it were. Can run a closed loop of circulating fluid too, which offers numerous advantages and obviates risk of fracking related earthquakes, as well as avoiding the corrosion challenges problematic with legacy approaches.

I always thought that the point was to be able to say "see, someone signed here and said everything was fine!" for a fee. You shop around until someone is able to provide that signature for a reasonable amount.

I have a noticeably positive response to taking Acytel L-carnitine. One pill at night before bed. Taking half the dosage on an empty stomach gives best results, though makes ones stomach a little queasy.
It was about time, i wonder what took them so long. Maybe the war is going worse than expected ( especially on the PR front) so they're only now doing it? I would have thought they'd cut everything at the time of the invasion just in case.

> It seems to me that preference for UI styles is completely personal, probably being influenced by what OS we initially used. As someone (potentially a lot) younger than many of those on HN, I like newer designs, and vice versa holds as well.

I agree that most of the preference is personal. I am not so sure on the age thing. I am likely on the old end of the curve here, yet mostly prefer the flat appearance. That said, there are a few elements of those old designs that I prefer. There are a few areas where those old interfaces shone: being able to distinguish between UI elements, higher contrast, consistency, and exposing functionality. That is to say: buttons don't need to be raised and links don't need to be underlined, but it is useful to know when you are looking at a button and a link.

It's not inaccurate. General job sites often pay below average and attract very low quality applicants. There's the story going around that 99.5% of people in the job pool can't pass FizzBuzz. That's where they all lurk.

Putting on my Paranoia hat: what if some aggressor indeed was able to introduce code into the Nvidia drivers, which - if put on enough systems - would cripple the ability to (re-)train Ai systems which might be used in military defense systems.

"What happens if we cooled the core to the point that it became solid? "

That would be very, very bad, but if you look at the numbers, like others pointed out - this is not an issue with our current tech.

I would be more worried about earthquakes and co. because deep plate tectonic is not understood well.

And when you cool one area significantly, that creates tension in the rock, because of the heat difference to other hotter areas.
Here’s the thing though: any one who works with code knows that you cannot trust code. Code is as tricky and ambiguous as the humans who write it.

From TFA:

This paper evaluates the impact of a sudden and
unexpected nation-wide alcohol sales ban in South
Africa. We find that this policy causally reduced
injury-induced mortality in the country by at
least 14% during the five weeks of the ban. We
argue that this estimate constitutes a lower
bound on the true impact of alcohol on injury-
induced mortality. We also document a sharp drop
in violent crimes, indicating a tight link
between alcohol and aggressive behavior in
society. Our results underscore the severe harm
that alcohol can cause and point towards a role
for policy measures that target the heaviest
drinkers in society.

That alcohol use impairs coordination and judgement, and makes a significant portion of users more aggressive/violent isn't news to, well, anyone.

Archaeologists have documented the use of mind altering substances (including alcohol) for nearly ten thousand years[0]. And such use almost certainly goes back much, much farther.

Alcohol use isn't going to stop, regardless of the negative consequences.

And creating a black market (cf. US 18th Amendment[1], the US "war on some drugs", etc.) only engenders more violence, as there is no legal way to resolve disputes.

As such, while I'm sure the findings of this study are correct, unless and until humans stop using mind altering substances (i.e., never), some alcohol (and other substances) users will continue to make poor choices and act aggressively and violently regardless of any "policies" put in place to reduce/eliminate such activity.

In fact, we already have such policies (laws against drunk driving, assault and property damage, etc.) and while we may make headway with education and alternatives to personal vehicles, we'll never eliminate such behavior.

I grew up with a Commodore 64, can't say that I miss the UI either. That said, I recently learnt that it was possible to cursor up to a prior command/statement to edit and re-execute it (in other words, the screen was the history buffer). That's an awesome feature. It is also an illustration of how older user interfaces had some redeeming and forgotten UI features.
I also find it distracting and prefer people wouldn't do it. However they have the right to privacy and not showing me their house, so the choice is theirs.

The implementation matters a lot too. I found that for most people the Zoom implementation is pretty bad. The Google Meet one is typically less distracting especially on blur mode. (because the flickering isn't as noticable than when flipping between two completely different colours)
Of course colonialism and neocolonialism contribute a lot to the explanation behind HDI and Gini results, but the vast disparity between different ex-colonies shows it isn't that simple.

Oh. I bid you good day sir ( i highly doubt a woman would speak the bullshit you've said about sexual assault and champion Sharia law), because the mere notion that laws based on a religion, especially one of those that treats half of the people as second class, and forbids conversions/atheism/agnosticism is anything but literally one of the worst possible ways to govern a country, is ludicrous and doesn't deserve engaging. There's nothing good to be said about a religious legal system. You can have tough punishments if the people so want based on actual legal principles, not because an old book people consider sacred said so.

I am sorry if I am being too direct, but the very inability to impose strict measures on Putin's gang is the reason he doesn't hesitate to do what he does.
If anything, if we seize the Russian elite money, then they might be willing to overthrow Putin's regime in exchange for getting their resources back. These are not extremist ideas, this is a pretty reasonable MO. Unfortunately, no one in the West has the stamina to do that.
