I am indeed. I've seen those issues one too many times as a consultant, and I never got to really(!) fix them as I was only ever brought in as a band aid really, not strategically.

Yeah, CNAPP is the new acronym for where we probably best fit right now. I will continue checking out some of the other players.

I initially had a 14 day trial, then people (not potential customers) told me that would not be long enough, so I increased it to 30. That did not make a difference at all. Smaller companies still signed up and converted, larger companies "ignored" any time limits and just assume that those don't apply to them.

Based on all the comments now I wonder if I should have a "base" plan that has the cost on the website and an Enterprise / Custom plan with a "Contact us" button. I pretty much know what a customer costs "on average", so that's not difficult.

Curious, did you see the short demo video on the website? There is a short one on the main site "below the fold" and there are two more in the "Resources/Videos" section. I am working on a longer version that I can send out to potential customers instead of a demo initially.
Yeah, I've seen and felt the "single pain of glass" many times :D

I'd love to take you up on that offer, thanks, a lot!

> meritocracy...children compete to get into the best nursery school

If the round hole is the mythical meritocracy, the comical square peg is wealthy parents having their kids "compete" to get into a nursery school and declare the entrants got in by "merit". What a farce.
Renewable energy decreases stability and resilience of a power grid
Costs for nuclear are largely two fold:
(1) Capital intensive construction (on the order of >$5 billion)
(2) Communities can revoke operating permits very near the end of completion.

Subsidies are provided to coal / natural gas in the same proportion of generation capacity within the US.

"Renewables" are subsidized at 10x other sources.
You will get a lot farther if you are an insane man with a gun, than if you’re just a regular man with a gun.
There is no "EU passport", just 27 national passports that also have "European Union" written next to the issuing country. It's only up to individual countries to issue their passports, also Norway isn't in the EU anyway.
Considering that there are millions of Russians there and 10-15 millions of Russian-Ukrainians, yes. South and East will not only accept but accept it gladly. West and center is a different story but then the area was always controlled by outside power - western provinces by Austria and Poland, Kiev and its surrounds - by Russian Empire. Give it 10-15 years and absence of rabid nationalistic media and things will change.
> No, it's not, because you're talking about an unusual and gross medical test. A literal, very personal intrusion, poking something far up where kids are told not to poke things. Not walking upstairs.

You went from claiming you’re “pro-testing” to claiming that the test is “unusual”, “gross”, and “intrusive”. Also suddenly your concern for kids with sensitivity disorders is nowhere to be found and you’re speaking in general terms again.

This is exactly why I said the argument about special needs kids is dishonest. Because the argument isn’t about them. It’s about kids in general but you want to feign outrage on behalf of a population because it’s conveniently emotional.

Anti maskers do the same and is interesting to see people with legitimate respiratory diseases and parents of actual disabled children plea for people to put their masks on to protect that exact population. It’s utterly gross to invoke a disadvantaged population dishonestly.

> Most test kits don't require it; it's still the best way to get an accurate result, though

You’re really trying to blame others for the fact that some parents might choose to do a throat swab when they are not obligated to? That’s literally on the parents for making that choice.

> But it's intellectually honest to generalise saying "if your kids experience trauma, you caused it"?

Yeah. If your kid doesn’t have some special need or sensitivity and getting a nasal swab is that traumatic for them, that sounds like you’re doing it wrong. Maybe you’re being too rough with the swab. Maybe you’re screaming at them because they won’t sit still. I don’t know. But I’ve seen dozens of kids line up for swabs and be just fine. When there’s a problem with a kid, it’s generally appropriate to look to the parents first. Child psychologists say this consistently. The problem is virtually always the parents.

Also “intellectually dishonest” doesn’t mean “incorrect” or “asshole”. Maybe I’m both of those things. But I’m not intellectually dishonest for calling out bullshit.
To add to this, it seems like chess players semi-frequently change what flag they play under, and can play under no flag at all.

Alireza Firouzja (world #2) for instance originally played under the Iranian flag, played under no flag for a year and a half, and now plays under the French flag.

You asked for examples of censorship and it was given to you.

Irregardless of Greenwald, you can't deny twitter and social media outlets banning a New York Post journalist(and the White House Press Secretary) for sharing that story was not egregious censorship.

Banning articles from journalists is censorship. Period.

Well I think that bit about the mixed cargo might sort of be a retrospective projection onto a common mixed use of a liner, even in wartime. I don't think one can say with any certainty that other liners did not do this. Post-Lusitania, line operators might have refused it as a general rule, but those were early days of submarine warfare.

I do think (as a Brit) that the argument they were deliberately left unprotected from U-boats has significant credibility; I would not be at all surprised. I am not a pacifist at this stage of my life, but I am regularly surprised at what my fellow Brits in particular do not know about our military history.

Then again, in this country, schoolkids don't generally study the First World War until they are of an age where the boys among them would have been illicitly signing up for it, and by that age, studying history is optional.
There's a dropwatch in SystemTap which produces similar output to the dropwatch program but has been significantly more useful for our purposes. Adding a backtrace to that can be useful. Beyond that we usually instrument the kernel to either printk when decisions are made, or add fields in the skb and set the fields to values as they pass through different parts of the stack, then finally things which react to those fields. That's a lot quicker and more efficient than looking at every packet.
There's been discussion of trying to alter the atmosphere to lower the earth's temperature.

In theory, I suppose, it's possible. The reality is, humans too often over-estimate their understanding and then muck X or Y up even more. Given that we're talking about a scale encompassing the whole planet and the future there of...well, you see it's risky.
Agreed. I was expecting something a little more topical to whats going on, with the current cast of characters.
There is theory, and there is practice.

If you do this kind of work, sometimes you will meet people that are completely unreasonable and there is no satisfying them.

Try working at a Toys R Us at Christmas and get shouted down by a parent because you ran out of the hot thing that season. For a concrete example, it was Tickle Me Elmo for me. It is not your fault, or the business' fault, but you can reset assured you will be the lightning rod for this.

As for serving, you can bet the people causing the most trouble are the least likely to tip. And at BEST they will tip nominally. There is some division that I don't understand between certain diners and servers that these diners consider their servers to not be their peers.

The customer is not always right, the entitlement of customers is off the charts in the past ten years. Expectations of online shopping applied to real life are very extreme. "I just want to have a good experience" style reasoning, when sometimes, things just don't go your way, and that is life. Deprioritizing a table is a survival strategy, to keep the plates moving.

How we solve this, I don't know, but I would say top down thinking is assuming that customers are 100% rational all the time, and I can assure you from the trenches it is not.
MAD only works if both sides are rational, and it is pretty clear that the major nuclear powers are lead by deeply irrational and unstable persons at times.

But I also see no plausible way at all to ever get rid of nuclear weapons. They are just too effective as a deterrent.
Any test that:
1) is similar to the work in the day-to-day role
2) doesn't require more than a 1-2 hour time commitment from a candidate
3) is interesting

HackerRank questions typically don't meet criteria 1 or 3. The best tests are often ones that the engineering team has designed themselves.

For example, this is an example of a test that meets all the criteria above:

Oh look another HN Russia sympathizer telling us literally any intervention is pointless.
oh wow, never noticed. I will see if I can disable that. That's an odd one.
That's true, but what other word would I drop to add those words?

Maybe it's too much to assume people on a technical forum will read the paper (or at least the abstract/conclusion) for themselves.
This is completely, totally wrong. There's no "discrimination" here - Grischuk is a Russian citizen, which is why he's being kicked out of the tournament, along with the other Russian citizens mentioned - their ethnicity is a non-factor.

The only relevant issue is the question as to whether all Russian citizens (regardless of ethnicity) should be banned from these kinds of events (more generally: have sanctions and sanction-adjacent actions taken against them), or just those who have directly contributed to the invasion (Putin, his military advisors, some Russian oligarchs maybe?) - which is a good topic for discussion. Claiming "discrimination", on the other hand, is factually incorrect, blatant emotional manipulation & unnecessary flamewar-bait, and does not belong on HN.
This doesn't sound like Narcolepsy? A narcolepic person will suddenly fall asleep during a conversation, and 5-10 minutes later wake up and continue talking as if nothing happened. I was giving a ride to somebody in NYC once from Florida and getting directions was difficult. Several times I had to drive around the block for 20 minutes or so, and she would wake up angry that we were going to wrong way. Eventually we got her home and she got her medication (modifinil).

No country is going to give up their nukes. Ukraine did exactly that yet here we are...
Hospitals, Administrative buildings and Army buildings marked as “Funeral homes”
In Kiev and other places in Ukraine, hospitals, administrative buildings and army buildings are marked as "Funeral Homes". People have been trying to contact Google about this through different sources, but they are still there.

This is in the best case extremely distasteful trolling, in the worst case this is used for indicating targets for bombing.

Please help me get this to the attention of Google to delete these labels asap.

> Nukes are the only thing stopping the West from rolling into Moscow

Yeah, tell Napoleon and Hitler how easy that is.
Smart kids mean smart adults, thus a threat to people in power. That is why education in the US is failing people. I think this has been going of for over 40 years with public school funding being cut over and over. Now people with some means are getting to see what inner city schools have been like for well over 40 years.

This only helps people who can afford sending their kids to exclusive private schools. Thus in a way, increasing racism because most of the rich are in a specific race.

+1 for non-violent communication

The "bad" example in the blog post makes me think that the persons need might just to be validated about unhappy or frustrated they are at work. Someone to listen to them for a just few minutes. When I've seen this kind of behaviour in others or myself, it's usually because of deadlines, multiple blockers, not being able to get forward momentum, along with some time pressure.

The difficulties with non-violent communication I've found are:
a) it's hard to do well.
b) you have to be pretty calm and grounded yourself.
c) it feels like a lot of extra work.

I think it's worth it for important interactions such as with partners, family, and good friends.
I am always deeply disappointed with how little civic and ethical values the average person has left.

Whenever the common narrative finds a way to blame something or someone, the collective dehumanizes the target in a way that's quite terrifying, actually. People love to parrot about how "dictators are bad", "hitler was bad", etc, but when they find themselves in trivial situations where they have to show what they're made of not much more comes out of it.

Without saying much about it, let me remind you that there is a Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which, among other things, it's pretty clear that no one should be discriminated because of their origin or nationality. Every single "developed" country shares a set of laws that guarantee similar rights to their citizens (and visitors!).

Whether you think that people who are in these situations are having their rights dishonored or not it's up to you, I just want to remind people that some blades cut both ways so one has to be careful about which one is being honed today.

Disclaimer: I'm not Russian, never been to Russia, no friends in Russia either. I am a human being and have empathy for all other fellow human beings.
Plus the defining characteristics of Democrats and Republicans is changing and in many ways both parties are quite similar. Republicans are showing less reluctance to restrict people for national purposes (eg epidemic) while this has traditionally been the domain of individual freedom minded liberals/democrats like hippies for example.

Furthermore, in most significant ways, Republicans and Democrats are unified especially when it comes to engaging in war, surveillance, and mucking with elections and politics of other nations.

In short, not sure it matters very much which one is the governing party.
I believe they had physical control but no launch codes.

As always with radio, it's mostly about unobstructed line of sight and the gain in your antenna system.

Indeed. If you grow up with your most common radio interactions being an FM car radio and a dumbphone, you get the impression it's entirely about range. Then you buy a drone and find out one pine needle shaves 50% off of your signal strength.

So there is no reason Alexander Grischuk should comment about the conflict. He has nothing to gain and everything to lose.

are they supposed to vet individuals with a twitter litmus test? That, in some sense, seems worse.
The "path loss equation" goes something like:

At the receiver, you have "minimum detectable signal", MDS, measured in dBm.

At the transmitter, you have power out, measured in dBm. Add transmitting antenna gain, in dB, subtract propagation loss through medium(s), add receiving antenna gain, and if that number is greater than MDS, you win! The Really Great Science in Voyager is the added factor of "coding gain" -- sophisticated error correction codes can give you a many dB adder, at the expense of data rate (nobody cheats Claude Shannon).
> It is therefore important to see that there are additional ways that can reduce the chance of the world suffering the horrors of nuclear war.

The article doesn’t note perhaps the most common and likely way the world reduces that chance, appeasement. If not for the remarkable fight of the Ukrainians and logistical failures of Russia, the West would already have washed their hands of it after passing weak sanctions and token condemnation.
I have the app because I’d rather be a first class citizen.
> Though I’m curious - how much time in your opinion has to pass before Russians are allowed to participate again?

How is that relevant? I think no matter what the answer, no one is going to draw the line sooner than "during the actual invasion".
There is just something perfect about the original Mac series.

When Steve Jobs saw the Xerox Alto, he thought "well, obviously all personal computers are going to be like this", which is pretty much how I felt upon encountering the Mac for the first time (not until 1990).

My opinions tend to be pretty weak these days (like a three-handed economist), but with a typical teenage passion, I could not understand why anyone would use Windows, or how Windows could even exist when the Mac was there.

When I finally got my own (i)Mac in 2000, it was no longer quite so perfect. Although, I think the OS X 10.3 - 10.5 era got close.
Ukraine War Update: War of Words [video]
These are just stories. Russia is ruthelessly concerend with its own strategic interests; not these stories. If you leap into them, like the Russian public or delusional westerners looking to excuse their own stupidity, you will be blinded to the actual situation.

Russia wanted Ukraine to be a neutral state, and that has been its policy until 2008 when the USA insisted it join NATO.

International politics is not about stories; that's domestic politics -- leaders tell them to their own people to spin their geopolitical interests.

Russia wants to retain it's great power status in the world, as it transitions to USA/China/Russia. Everything it has been doing since 2008 is to rebalance its power against USA/NATO encroachment, and ensure its security for the next 50 years.

Russia will now level your country to the ground. There is no "standing with ukraine", that is just asking for more cities to be destroyed.

The only question is how much the west makes russia destroy ukraine, in order to trap russia further in the quagmire. Ukraine will be obliterated before the USA/UK is done -- we will not save you, we will only arm you to your death.
There wasn't really any clear legal status to them; the unit of the USSR military that was responsible for them wound up in the Ukranian armed forces after the split, as did quite a bit of other material. Thus, the agreement.

They could have, at the very least, used them as raw disasembled nuclear material for their own program, if they had wanted. As the recording industry discovered, once your stuff is in someone else's physical posession, it's hard to stop them from figuring out how it works.

1. Putin is almost 70 and there are reports he is making decisions differently than he did in the past

2. He's surrounded himself with yes men

3. Those yes men told him Europe wouldn't do anything and Ukraine would fall quickly. They told him it'd be another Crimea

4. Once the war started it became obvious they made a terrible mistake, but now Putin's stuck in a clusterfuck of epic proportions for Putin, Ukraine, and Russia.
> the ultra-ghetto urban public schools here have money upon money, and yet the teachers do not get funds directly

Any statistics or citations to back this up? In my experience, one cannot characterize thousands of schools this way because they have different governance and spending formulas across states, county lines, city limits, and even multiple districts within cities (which is especially true in urban cities).
Desegregation was not an 'experiment', it was a simple legally-mandated fix for a broken situation. These days we have basically re-segregated our schools along income lines by forbidding school choice and enforcing the educational monopoly of the school district. And when people try to fix this by starting better-run charter and/or magnet schools, these efforts are basically sabotaged by the public education establishment as seen in this very article.
Awesome! This or something like it is going to bring ML to the (SWE) masses. Congrats and hoid luck and thanks!

I like how an MIT CS professor put it to me once: He stays home to work, and goes to work to socialize.

Most people are not digitally native, and as in my original comment, management layers are especially social. So I'd expect deep work orgs to be more remote-friendly: small technical startups like ours are happy fully remote, and it's an advantage. In contrast, most sales/marketing/large orgs are less remote-friendly: 1+ days in office, bad promotion paths for fully remote, ... . Not inherent and always exceptions, but just about what's typical, natural, & easy.
