I do not think a conversation between two work people count, no. Not at a bar, for sure. There's constant communication between work people.

A meeting is when I get everyone together to go over big-picture type things. Making plans, changing menus, correcting problems, assigning tasks, positive feedback, training for new systems.
It depends on what you are counting as interviews. Normally there is 1 recruiter/hiring manager initial call. Then there is 1 phone screen of some sort. If you pass that it's normal to have 4 onsite interviews in a day. That gets to 6. Sometimes there is a follow up interview and sometimes you skip the phone screen. I feel like 5-7 is the normal routine. Is there something else you expect?

Greetings! I'm working at the intersection of finance and technology, focusing on data analysis, data analytics, ETL pipelines, pricing, workflow automation, creation of data digests from internal and external data sources. I have experience as both an individual contributor as well as team manager. I have an engineering and machine learning background, have previously worked on supervised and unsupervised algorithms. I use Python, Pandas, Excel and SQL and am comfortable in learning and working with minimal or no supervision. I care for crafting solutions that are robust, have great attention to detail and work to deliver on time. I enjoy interacting and discussing topics with senior stakeholders, bridging the gap between the technical and business worlds. I'm looking for either remote roles or those in Southern California and am looking to bring my experience and skills to a new project.

I don't think so. Anyone who criticizes the NATO pro war narrative at the moment
is labeled as intruder, in the form of Russia-affiliate or traitor, and that's exactly what is described by Umberto Eco:

> The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders

So we're not yet at the "jail the traitors" phase, but this is exactly how a prematurely fascist movement behaves.

Also, I'm not silencing pro-NATO peopl in any way. They have on their side almost the totality of mass media and western governments. There is no way I can silence their narrative, in fact I'm very much subject to it against my will everytime I browse the web or watch tv.
I'm really after letting ReactOS be useful for a boring office environment, has anyone been able to achieve this yet?

You might be interested to know about the Morse keying requirement for Ham radio licenses before the early 90s.

I think ham radio licenses lost popularity between then and approx 2018. Demonstrating fluency with Morse was necessary for a license long ago. Nowadays, there’s a renewal of interest but many new Ham operators can write a Morse codec faster than they can learn fluency by hand. I think the requirement for demonstrating Morse by hand in order to obtain a HF license will be dropped if it isn’t already.
Intriguingly, ADHD is correlated with crime as well. Some studies would estimate that it's 4-10x (or more) as prevalent in prison populations as in the general population.[1][2]

We could conclude that a lot of people are self-medicating without realizing it.

Doing 1 last interview on something the team felt was still and open question
Yeah I have 16 years experience and was asked to take an aptitude (IQ) test. I find it personally insulting.

I think it all emerged from the recruiting/HR market. They started as middlemen but found a way to take on more of the "gatekeeping" role in hiring.

This then lead to recruiters using more and more technical jargon and then we saw the emergence of leetcode interviews trend from faang, and multiple stupid interviews, because it's the trend.
Been here. Have no words. Seems every job I start has a moment of hope and then it falls into the same traps of despair within a couple months because it becomes clear the people are completely checked out.

Sadly - only way I think I’d ever be happy is if I founded my own company and it was successful (been in enough failed startups - not interested in that). Being under other peoples incompetency and apathy is painful and unavoidable otherwise.
Generally if someone is well-known for keeping secrets then they are doing something incorrectly. It’s not the website that is employed but rather users of the website, and they also use gasp other websites and do awfully mundane things as well. When you open your mind you’ll find the kind you believed was ill-defined simply was the spider viewed from the fly.
TBH IMO this sounds like a documentation problem, so, e.g.

# damn, it just lists the command-line options
vim benchmarks.c
# look through source code to find what the random numbers after the program name mean

You could also look the manpage or whatever documentation it has :-P.
> Personally, I don't use random wires.

For a long time I had a long random wire up and had a lot of success on it. But it would not tune on small segments of the bands because the impedance was very high or very low. And it was relatively deaf near those points, too.

I shortened it slightly until those dead zones were in places I didn't care about.

As the wire gets longer, those scary multiples of half wavelength become more common (though narrower). E.g. if I have a 150m electrical length antenna, around 17.987MHz, 18.986MHz, 19.986MHz, 20.985MHz, 21.984MHz, are really bad. This is if the wire is straight and far above the ground. If it also has random bends, you get even more places where funny things happen.

And then, of course, really crazy things happen when you start trying to use this as a receive antenna up on UHF-- 399.7, 400.7, 401.7, 402.7, etc, not to mention the unpredictable, strong, and varying directionality.

> This is another case I haven't faced so far, neither myself or in the literature. 15k ohms? If the impedance really reached that high, maybe it's for the lack of a counterpoise, even if a small one?

https://vk6ysf.com/longwire_antenna.htm

" A multi-band end fed wire antenna presents a potential problem in that a ¼ wave length antenna cut for say the 80 metre band will present a feed impedance of about 70 ohms however when the same antenna is used on the 40 metre band the feed point impendence will be several thousand ohms and therefore difficult to achieve a match even with a quality tuner. The trick is to making this type antenna an easier match by avoiding the lengths that are 1/2 wavelength and harmonically related to 1/2 wavelengths or simply multiples of 1/2 wavelengths that will present the most extreme rang of impedances."

4NEC2 graphs are in the article. Admittedly, 15k ohms is an extreme case: at some point, earth losses, etc, prevent you from getting all the way to infinity, and ohmic losses of the wire and feedline stop you from getting all the way to 0 ohms. Of course, neither of these mechanisms makes you better at radiating power or receiving.

> I can't remember of any mode demanding more than 30KHz (again, I'm not implying they don't exist).

Lots of exotic, interesting modes, but also --- AM radio. 15KHz is in the human audible range (of younger people) and some AM stations carry audio this high.

Occupied bandwidth of an AM radio station is 2 times highest audio frequency conveyed.

Also, you probably are a few KHz off in tuning of your magloop, so you may have e.g. 20KHz on one sideband and 10KHz on the other within the bandwidth of the magloop. In turn you get the weird phasing artifacts and attenuation of higher frequencies that comes from receiving only 1.5 sidebands.
Yanukovich was installed by Putin with the help of Paul Manafort. He lied to get elected and when he was found out he was forcibly thrown out of government. Had he fulfilled his campaign promises instead of working directly for Putin this would not have happened. Pointing to this overthrow is not valid as a condemnation against Ukrainian sovereignty & attempt to follow democratic ideals, it is confirmation of the nations strong desire for those things.

TL;DR - you can say no to the people who have normalized that, and still be highly successful

With the emergence of Google, et al, and the image of being elite, so came the emergence of nonsense like this: https://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/here-are-all-the-docume.... Getting butts in seats and long processes have replaced getting to know people before hiring them. The burden has been put on the candidate by the process.

I'm with you, OP. I remember the days of simpler processes. After going through the hoops of 5+ interview rounds in 2019 and 2020, I decided to apply limits to what I was willing to do for interviews. For example; I won't do leetcode, I won't enter a process with more than three steps, I won't give more than 5 hours to a process. This has significantly reduced the number of positions available to me, but the positive result is that the positions that do fit into my ruleset are high-quality, smaller companies, with more upside than the larger companies. I find that the companies that do fit into my ruleset about interviews actually want to get to know who I am and what I'm bringing, rather than if I'll just fit an open role or some quota. Now I'm not making FAANG salaries nor benefits, but I really enjoy the work I'm doing, the people I'm building with, and I'm very well taken care of financially.
This begs the question, do licenses have licenses?

I entered the software industry as a developer about 4 years ago, and I have been running interviews for the past 2 years or so. Interview hell is all I have ever known.

Could you elaborate on how things worked differently in the past? I legitimately have no idea what a developer interview "loop" would look like without 5 to 7 interviews, but I desperately hope it can exist.
I think how the experts play this game is by buying a very expensive well-fitting designer polo shirt. The trick is to impress people in a way that seems that you are not trying hard. Trying hard is low-status, just being "naturally" impressive is high-status.

The rules of the game are not mentioned publicly, so that people who know them can feel superior to those who don't. The mere knowledge of the rules signals good upbringing or great social skills.
People like the prez interview constantly…
This is a semantics discussion, mostly.

Ukrainian Nazis, while still ultra-right-wing and probably not nice people, trace their ideological lineage to WW2 Nazis not by believing in Hitler's vision (which would be dumb, Slavs were supposed to be genocided to make living space for more Germans) but because the Nazis treated (some of) Ukrainians better than the Soviets (some of the time). So they wear Nazi symbols but don't necessarily subscribe to clean race and taking over the world "for us better people" and genociding everyone else. Even the craziest Ukrainian Nazi is probably not looking to invade Poland and replace Poles with "superior Ukrainians".

Meanwhile the Russian Z's are running aggressive war, consider themselves superior culture and want to take over most of Europe. They are doing war crimes left and right and their stated goal is a genocide of Ukraine (see "Ukraine is not a country, Ukrainians aren't people" statements from Putin) and rule of Europe.

Genocide is of something Russians are fond of doing pretty often, see Holodomor and mass deportations and Russification for "more hard" and "softer" approaches. Oh and they're doing those things again right this moment - kidnapping people to Russia and attacking Ukrainian food stores and targeting fucking maternity wards of hospitals.

So you could argue that despite swastikas on clothes, the Russians are "the true Nazis" here. What makes a Nazi, symbols or genocidal aggressive war backed by ideology of racial superiority?

Normally, I'd say fuck all Nazis, but I can give a lot of leeway to people fighting to protect their homeland from genocidal murderous raping horde. Especially as repeating "but there are Ukrainian Nazis!" only helps Russia, and why the fuck would you want to help Russia?
this right here. i was told to fill out essays as part of the interview process to indicate i had a good culture fit. i'm talking college entrance length and prompt. shit like in 5.000 words tell me how u r a team player.

nahhhhhhh
Well I can say in my experience firing people is such a pain nowadays that I feel a need to be a lot more careful in hiring. I've seen a bit more than half of fired employees come back with some form of discrimination lawsuit threat after being fired.
The basic unit on which shell scripts build is external commands. If what you want to do is to tie a few together, it is by far the best tool. For the type of programming problem where you need data structures it is indeed awful. But things like Python are really quite poor when it comes to executing external commands. You either need a dozen lines for each external command or things are done in a crap way with commands running synchronously when they don't need to be. With many real languages, people use a `system()` function that is running sh every time along with evaluation because the alternative is fork/exec/wait etc.

Many of those sh tricks you link to are better even in the common ksh/bash/zsh subset than in pure POSIX.
I had a day of interviews (~7 people) at my first job out of college in 1986, but my hiring manager had also been the person I first talked with at a career fair.

I had a day of interviews (~7 people) in early 2000 at an internet consulting firm, mostly people I worked with directly once I was hired.

Whatever virus those places had, it seems to have spread.

I've also been hired after one or two conversations with one or two key people.

Sometimes scammers will have you do varrious bits of busy work that can't possibly result in loss just to get the mark into the flow of doing what the scammer says and distract them from thinking critically.
All we need is a “3+ interviews considered harmful” post to hit HN a few months in a row and we can finally solve this problem.

That, or we’ll have some representative from the big 5 saying “Hey guys, Jayden from (x soulless Silicon Valley company) here. Not speaking on behalf of my employer but actually at X Corp(tm) we’ve found that anything less than 37 interviews (+tip) isn’t enough to let the real stars shine through. We’re all about finding the true team players who are a good culture fit” within 2 minutes of the post going up.
That’s not a customer support channel… that’s a paid service for getting bigger disk quotas and other trinkets and perks… basic customer support should not be a fucking perk.
You seem to have a problem with the US fighting against evil, autocratic groups like the communists in South America, and Asia. That's fine, it's your opinion. But this is exactly the sort of thing the author of this article is saying we should do more of, so I don't understand why you would say they are 'ignorant' of this stuff.
I think globalism was a nice thought and now we've seen the havoc it can bring when unchecked. We need to pull back a bit and reassess depending on the likes of Russia and China for critical items like chips, natural resources, etc. By all means promote trade amongst friendlies (western and certain SE countries) but we need to be very careful of the others, and balance it out with security at an input to the system, whereas currently we depend on relatively peaceful nations. Recent belligerence points out that that can never be taken for granted. On the flip side, if we were to completely abandon trade with China that is probably a bad idea as well, as they have no incentive to not take over Taiwan, Australia, Japan, etc.
1st phone call directly with the hiring manager, after the resume has been screened by the hiring manager. 2nd meeting in person, a few questions, maybe a take home task. Decision made in 24-48 hrs.

This falls under the 'appeal to authority' logic of 'best practices'. That's fine when the person applying it doesn't have the knowledge, time, or priority for doing it better. It's always good to be aware you've taking a shortcut on the design and not make an unwarranted defense of it.

When my parents died, I would ask myself- is being sad and not moving on with my life what they would want me to do? No. They’d be angry and giving me shit about it everyday just like I’m sure your dad would do to you. He didn’t want to leave you, but he had to. Now your life is still here and you need to go live it - you better understand than many people how fleeting time is.

Don’t be afraid to talk to a counselor. They can get you talking about it and more at easy with what has happened. Take care of yourself.
This is my answer as well. The two rational pairings are:

hire fast, fire fast

and

hire slow, fire slow

If for legal or cultural reasons you can’t fire fast, that leaves you with only one choice.

>14 years after the opening of the Internet to commercial use, Google was well established, Facebook and Twitter were rising rapidly, MySpace and Digg had already peaked but still had huge audiences. Amazon had already become a behemoth.

Difference is the things you listed are free services that had massive marketing budgets.

Bitcoin has zero marketing budget, grew from 0 organically, and adoption requires converting a percentage of your networth, which is a major ask. For this and many other technical/educational reasons the barrier to entry is much higher which makes this a bad comparison.

I feel I've read the same headline quite a few times over the years. Here's one from last year: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/06/the-huma...
> "5 to 7 interviews is normal"

Yeah, it's definitely not. I've never done more than 3 interviews, and that was the exceptional case. Vast majority have been either one interview with the hiring manager or two interviews where one is with the immediate hiring manager and the other was with someone more senior within the company.
For higher level jobs (i.e. directors+), 5-7 interview sounds pretty normal for a fairly large organization, and I don't think this has changed much.

1. Recruiter screening

2. Hiring Manager interview/screening

3. Hiring manager + your peer group within your org

4. hiring manager + your peer group outside your org (just because everybody is so busy)

5. Hiring manager + more senior leaders (this could take place before peer group)

6. Individual separate meetings with your future directs (more formality at this point)

Now, if it is a contract role, I will hire just after 1-2 panel interviews depending on level.

I got both shots but I totally agree. That the FDA even tried to help Pfizer not release all the data before 2097 is beyond belief.

All hope is not lost though: the very reason they'll have eight months (not 75 years) before releasing it all is precisely because otherwise it undermines the public's confidence in the government.

>There are other mechanisms by which non-ionizing radiation can induce cancers, such as the one I've described.

Link please, there are no proven mechanisms such as you describe I am aware of. Your only link points to sun exposure and UVB rays which are near ionizing and cause cancer through DNA damage based on photon energy.

Your example of a laser vs led is on point because its purely based on inverse-square, watt per kg and and thermal heating of tissue which is the only known mechanism which cellphone RF frequencies can cause tissue damage and only at orders of magnitude more power levels.
I just realized that ReactOS is only 5-7 years younger then the Linux kernel. Both projects that feel like they have always been there. And while ReactOS will never catch up with the current version of Windows, Microsoft has made ReactOS and Wine a lot more important in recent years when they decided that it wasn't worth it for them to keep backwards compatibility forever.
It isn't. Over time you will notice that counter parties in negotiation will often use "normal" or "industry standard" argument to achieve their goals. Sadly for commodities the enforcement machinery cannot usually accommodate variation anyway. The best option is to walk away.

Good points, thanks!

In your opinion, what kind of life would be "austere enough" to claim (faithfully) that it does not benefit from other people's hardships? As in, what kind of life should you live to be able to say that you're not "rich and healthy because someone somewhere is poor and sick"? (I'm having trouble stating that question clearly, but hopefully the point gets across)

I's a bit of a hard question in my opinion, because so much of our economy is interlinked with the world and even with history… Probably, some richness of the west is a legacy of colonial times, during which a transfer of richness occurred, and the west would still be indebted in that sense?
