> I would make sure your CS fundamentals are solid as a lot of companies are using leetcode/hackerrank problems as a filter.

Is this a thing in silicon valley or something? I've never seen this done in practice and would hate it if I had to do this in an interview. Mostly because it doesn't seem like it tells you how good of a programmer someone is, but how much they cared to study for your job interview (how desperate) they are.

I have to say, I mostly disagree with the notion that CS skills are deeply important for a first job. That isn't to say that they aren't important more broadly, but I actually had a very wrong idea about programming due to my comp sci major. My first job (internship) I had to learn some tough lessons about pair programming, code review, clean code, messy code, _overly_ clean code, unit testing, etc. Almost none of my computer science skills were useful. That didn't come until about 8 years later in my career.
In theory yes. If you have a list of addresses you want to “block” and you convince the biggest mining pools to play along you can “block” transactions to and from all these addresses. Whoever mines a new block gets to choose which transactions are going to be in it. If you just never include flagged transactions, no one is able to transfer terrorist money in and out.

There is still a possibility that one of the smaller miners gets a block once in a while but you’d already be able to significantly disrupt the terrorist organization. In addition to that you could also decide to fork off the chain before a block with any transaction and long term convince 100% of the miners to not touch any of the addresses.

Here is where reality kicks in: how do you get an agreement which addresses to block. There is more than one terrorist organization and certain miners might find the “censorship free money” argument more important than the existence of some of them. And judging by how often I hear the argument that BTC is “non-political” I don’t see that happening at all.

And even if you had consensus of what is good and what is evil, the counter attack of terrorists is fairly simple. Generate a new public key for every donation. This makes is a lot harder to track and would start an arms race between miners and terrorists.
I think that's because most homes do not have sufficient electrical power to run everything at once.

For example: 50A for the heat pump, 50A to charge your car, 50A for the range, 30A for the dryer, 30A for the water heater = 210A (all my examples are for 240V) + various lights and other things. Homes in the US are most commonly wired for 100, 150, or 200A.

So they'll run the range at 30A instead, but that means you can't use all the burners at the same time at full power.

If we are actually going to fully electrify the home 200A or more service is going to have to become the starting point. Residential panels > 200A in the US are rare (from what I read most power companies won't even supply such service), and that might need to change.
How would a marshall plan for post-soviet states have been accomplished? The soviet union was not a defeated country that wanted and needed rebuilding. It was a failed state with nuclear weapons that up until 1991 prevented anyone from entering or leaving from/to the West.
I would love to hear about how open source project maintainers balance corporate-sponsored contributors' goals with the project's existing goals. E.g. do they plan out areas of work prioritised by what helps everyone first, and what only helps the corp second? How does it work?
Sensuals doing some work here though - that flame is sensual, but also gives immediate feedback over temperature/spread. You can lift your pan up and down to control heat over a gradient that radiates above over a larger distance. That lifting and moving of the pan alongside adjusting the flame and seeing it change immediately combines to give you a lot of control. So sensual, yes. A lot more intuitive and powerful, too.

Metal slats are also nicer to hit your a pan against than flat glass for a variety of useful/sensual reasons.
> Not sure what you intend to say with it.

Unreported crime is extremely common in the USA.

I haven't lived in Sweden, but I've lived somewhere lower on that ranking. Day to day life here feels much, much safer than in the USA (where I lived for years). In this country the idea of not reporting a violent crime is unthinkable.

Not so in the USA. If anything, it's the default.

> How else would you create a comparable metric for the occurrence of crime by country?

It may not be possible, but I'd probably try to look at how much crime actually happens rather than what finds its way into police records.

I want to get people together to see who is interested and see what we can do to make this more readily available...more to come about that.

This is a working a prototype of creating a cut preview for your CNC machine and where it will cut, by simply taking a picture of the CNC bed with your wood on bed. I spend so much time/thought trying to line up the machine with my work piece, making sure it won't intersect my clamps. Sometimes I hit my clamps, sometimes my bit goes off the workpiece or hits a soft limit, stopping my cut process. I also find myself jogging around before a cut to make sure everything lines up.
i think you're making the mistake of judging them with hindsight. they made the best possible decision with the resources they had, their mental model and their risk tolerance and belief in the world

Absolutely brilliant! Love the ingenuity.
The manufacturing cost in US is too high, but the productivity isn't proportionally higher.

Regulations and labor protection is good for workers, but it will increase cost and if those manufacturers have choice they will source their suppliers elsewhere.

Other comments also mentioned, that made in US isn't really a hallmark of quality across the board, if the consumers are expected to pay 2x-3x more, then it better has something extraordinary to offer, I don't think mask had that much differentiation
Halide iOS app bug fix rejected after initial approval 18 months ago
The article is just as bad on the climate aspect.

It asserts that cooking with gas "has been shown to be catastrophic for the environment." What's the basis for this assertion? They link to another NYT article that cites a study that says, "annual methane emissions from all gas stoves in U.S. homes have a climate impact comparable to the annual carbon dioxide emissions of 500,000 cars." [1]

That might sound like a lot until you realize there are 280 million cars in the U.S. In other words, the total impact of all gas stoves in U.S. homes is equal to 0.18% that of cars.

Not necessarily, the fuel for my gas stove is propane that's delivered by a truck.

The big N95 mask makers seem like: 3M, Moldex, and Kimtech.

As far as I can tell, all three of these are 100% American made. A bunch of smaller companies opened up due to the N95 mask shortage for the pandemic. I'm not surprised that the smaller businesses are going out of business, but I have my doubts that the "big" ones are leaving USA either.
It is memory management in a way. “Using” is releasing unmannaged memory most of the time.
Very cool! The bug also happens to me, but I’m on mobile on iOS Safari.
Not saying I review dependency locks as well as I should, but one reason to is to prevent supply chain attacks. E.g. making a typo that installs a malicious package. I recently saw a $60k beast of a machine with 64 cores get pwnd. We all wondered why “-bash” was burning 48 cores of CPU until I attached strace to it and we saw JSON RPC messages indicative of crypto mining. Everyone with access to the machine is trustworthy, but someone may have typo’d a pip install or something like that.
If you select "EU" from the flag drop-down on the top left, you get an English version of the page (seems to be properly translated).

There's no reason an induction hob can't be run with delta-sigma over it's normal low-resolution PWM to get accurate, high-resolution average power control.
1% power accuracy is easy, 0.1% is a few bucks more per "burner".
not a scientist. Note the lack of PhD.

The lack of a PhD doesn't make someone "not a scientist". Science is what one does, not what one is.

I have a doctorate from Oxford, but I'm less of a scientist now than I was as an undergraduate student.
In the US ranges typically come with 50A 240V outlets - and as much as that is, it's actually not enough to run the oven plus all 4 burners at the same time.

A low end range has 16K BTU for the oven, plus 4 10K burners = 56,000 BTU = 16.5kWatt.

But the 50A outlet can only deliver 50 * 240 * 80% = 9,600 watt.
Attention deficit disorder is particularly interesting because these people actually have hyperattention when it comes to stuff that's interesting to them. They'll have trouble even starting boring tasks like homework but they can easily maintain their attention for 12 hours straight on some programming problem if that's what they enjoy thinking about. They are likely to be incompatible with this mass education system where people sit in a classroom to listen to lectures, especially if there's associated hyperactivity.
Is the media still stifling the lab-leak theory?
> Because that's what's easy for the schools and the teachers

That's too dismissive, almost a bad faith frame. The sad reality is that there is not enough money, there are not enough teachers, and most teachers are not good teachers, and quite a few are actually bad. That cannot be changed. We can't open a can of one million good teachers. Even if money weren't an issue, they just aren't there. More teachers, even if mediocre, would help probably, but that's a matter of money and politics.

> The problem is much of what is considered "cheating" by these people is actually perfectly normal real world behavior.

So is stealing and murdering. Schools are not there to teach "real world behavior", but increasingly advanced motoric, cognitive and (to a lesser degree) social skills. At higher levels of education, project and team work becomes more frequent (even too frequent, if you ask me). But you cannot learn reading, writing and arithmetic in a group of 3 where 1 person learns to read, one learns to write, and one learns arithmetic.
Best case, only Vizio will comply, and only if it turns out Vizio violated the GPL, and only if SF Conservancy resists any potentially lucrative attempts to get the case settled out of court.
I love how both comments make hilariously wrong assumptions about my nationality. What people like you are saying and suggesting is deeply insulting to my ancestors and historical objectivity.

I'm Polish. When I was growing up (in communist Poland) I spent a lot of time around the elderly who experienced the worst from the Soviets and got plenty of first-hand accounts of how uncivilised that nation is.

Have you heard of Katyn, where they murdered our whole intelligentsia and the majority of Polish military officers?
Have you been told about how Soviet soldiers took pleasure in raping the mother before the fathers eyes and their 8 children? Looting and burning the whole farm just for fun, maybe? Did you know about that? Putting whole families on cargo trains to be taken deep into Siberia to be starved and worked to death?
This was not done by a single man.

This happened because Russian nation historically never had problems with aggression and violence towards their neighbours. You can blame it on tyrannical systems of government but at its core its the people.
Tell me you can easily imagine that in this day and age the French or the Brits become a totalitarian country and start invading their neighbours.
We both know this is impossible because of those nations' deeply held values.
Russian mentality is very different from the rest of the Europe and you may not like it but that's the reason why they have always been a bad neighbour.

You have no idea how wrong you are. Firstly, there is no "brown", everybody here has a range of skin colours. Your American ideas about race do not apply to this situation.

Secondly, in fact this is an Arabic speaking country. I personally speak Arabic, I learn from my Arab friends and neighbours. So everything that I'm mentioning is from the actual experience of living here and understanding both Western culture and the Arab culture (for the most part).

Thirdly, these people are going to have a dozen babies per wife no matter where the wives come from. And with the modern healthcare that everybody receives, all those babies will grow to be adults - something that was not the case when their culture developed the need to have a dozen babies per wife.

I don't blame you for not understanding, the media reports on the situation with no lies but eliminating perspective. If we had the same race issues as the US, and if "marriage" meant the same here as US audiences expect, then your rage would be justified. The task of mentioning these differences would fall on the body "reporting" the situation if the reporting goal were to spread information. But the spread of information is not the goal of the reporting - as evidenced by what information they include and what information they eliminate.

“God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won’t tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.”

I actually really love the screens. I can’t wait until they open up their developer API! They are offering a starter kit for your home refrigerator where you can practice building ads using their WYSIWYG tool.

> environment and is overall worse than induction

would love to see an induction stove with a usable UI. everything I have used is designed by a person that never had to cook for more than 1. the automatic off during the slightest spill, and the impossibility to operate buttons with wet/greasy hands, has to be one of the biggest design mistakes in the history of engineering.

my idea of a great time is to invite this engineer to cook with me a 4 course dinner for 8, where everything is timing crucial, and I get to scream at them like Gordon Ramsey the minute the stove switches off and they lost momentum with the heat but can't operate the button because "wet fingers".

the problem isn't induction and consumers cooking with gas, but that we have a culture operating on "ownership and exploitation" of the environment.
Even western polls show around 54% population support for Ukraine to join NATO [1]. Not by a huge majority. And I suspect the Eastern parts the number is substantially lower. When Ukraine is discussed, a lot of western media assumes east and west in same terms which is really not the case.

That's a really necessary question, and I'll be blunt. I've had a fairly long research career in psychology. We all know the research standards in psychology are low, but those in educational sciences are much lower. It's a personally held belief that at least some of the misery in the current state of education comes from their research.
How many people here who were annoyed by the experience ended up purchasing less or nothing at all as a result?

The only way to make this go away is, when you come upon one of these displays, set your items down and leave without purchasing anything. Spend your money somewhere without one while you still have the option.
It's fine to use this sort of tech on a web page but it's vital to detect whether or not the device rendering the page supports it well, and only use it (or scale it up) where support exists. There are GPU detecting functions out there, and measuring the framerate your app is getting is simple, so progressively enhancing is not hard. That said, browsers could make it easier.

I viewed the page on my crappy Android phone and got maybe 5fps. Anyone shipping an experience like that hasn't done a good job of supporting their users.

Just for reference: IKEA has a countertop model that runs on 240V 10A (2kW; 175mm), sold for 39.90 EUR in Germany. Subtracting VAT and converting to USD, that's a hair under 40 USD pre-tax.

I expect that proper adapters from NEMA 240V to Schuko are legal to operate? If so, you'd be cheaper off just importing these (104.867.94).

Yeah, I know I'm comparing against walk-in store products. Still.
The FDA and CDC made it illegal for US hospitals, companies, and universities to produce COVID tests until after the CDC effort to produce them had already failed twice. By then there was a booming business in China and South Korea making tests. We only knew about the outbreak in Seattle because some brave scientists broke the law and ran their own tests.

I would also add, as other people have mentioned, that domestic manufacturing requirements are at best over priced jobs programs through the back door.
So, our sanctions are again going to cause many thousands of innocent citizens to suffer while it does nothing towwards the leadership of Russia? Just like Iran right?
