I had an encounter with a rude interviewer when I was slightly younger. (Nothing egregious, your run-of-the-mill overconfident person who wrote their own algorithms interview question and scoffed at any answer that wasn't their handcrafted one, even if it had the same time and space complexity.)

Directly after that interview, I had an informal lunch with another engineer at the company, with more interviews scheduled afterward. I mulled it over during lunch, and instead of continuing the on-site interview, I thanked my lunch companion and told them that after my experience with the previous interviewer, I was no longer interested in entertaining the prospect of employment at the company.

The lunch companion seemed mildly surprised, and apologized for the previous interviewer. I went home and had 3 hours back to myself that day I hadn't planned to have.

To this day, it is one of the most cathartic experiences I've had in my career. Realizing that I had the power to walk away and exercising it, after years of having deference toward interviewer and companies drilled into my head, felt empowering.

Sometimes I think everyone should do this once, even if they're pretty neutral about the company, just to feel more comfortable standing on equal terms with a potential employer.

Now (not that I'm particularly experienced) I advise people receiving offers to ask their potential employers if they can hang out with the team for lunch, or for a day or more. I think a lot of people can put on a smiling face for a 1-hour interview and might be a lot more irritable during a typical workday. The average workplace tenure (anecdotally) is ~2 years, it's worth doing an extra day of due diligence before signing up for an org. And of course, if they say you can't meet the team or get lunch, that's signal too (generally negative).

EDIT: I should mention, the company was small enough that I knew I'd have to work with the rude interviewer at least sporadically. Your mileage may very with large FAANG-type organizations where you'll never see your interviewer again.
Ah, so unelected officials are ok.

Just not when it's the EU?

And also, not when they're actually elected. Got it.

The color palette is pretty limited, so using something that can have a specific/limited palette (say 48-64 color in this case) is probably going to have a better result than jpeg. Also, optimizing for display size would take it further still. Alpha transparency support is also a bonus for png over jpeg.
It’s absolutely in the spirit of science to question an experiment’s methods and results. If you disagree with the criticism then present some evidence. An appeal to authority is pretty unconvincing considering scientists have been confidently wrong about quite a lot in the past.
Within the now practically vanished ~40B market cap in the Terra ecosystem, were the hopes and life savings of many poor souls. No matter how bad it looked like in hindsight, they're still human and deserve empathy. For anyone who lost: it's just money, don't let that prevent you from moving on.

I worked as an arbitrageur within Terra for over one year. I'm happy to say I profited by keeping that market healthy. I wish I could have done more, and in pro free-market spirit I don't judge anyone's actions here. This week, I took a hit, but I'm moving forward still. The associated institutions and validators did a great job in this crisis and deserve respect as well, I wasn't even able to keep my full nodes running with all the challenges. Perhaps if we were better market makers in the start, no bank run would happen, but that's in the past now.
On the timescale from now until the sun goes nova, confident "no".

Roughly speaking, the sun orbits the galactic center at a velocity of 220km/s. To fall into, or to be sucked into, the central black hole would require the loss of all this velocity, which means applying acceleration to the sun opposite the direction of its orbit. Lots of acceleration. That has to come from somewhere.

I suppose there's some extremely tiny amount of drag that occurs due to the sun moving in the interstellar medium, but aside from that there's not a lot that applies acceleration to the sun opposite the direction of its orbit. Really the only other thing that comes to mind are the gravitational waves that are radiated by co-rotating objects. This is the effect that causes close by black holes to eventually come close enough that they merge. But in objects traveling at slower speeds in larger orbits, this effect is also negligible on the scale of billions of years. (These are the gravitational waves observed by LIGO). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem_in_general_re...
Posting images of text is not posting text. It is posting images. Posting an image of a dog is posting an image, not posting a dog. (Ceci n’est pas un pipe) If you posted an image that triggered an injection bug in their backend and filled a tweet with more than 280 characters, that would be circumvention. But there is no technical limitation preventing people from posting images of text, or dogs.

Similarly, the alt text box allowing up to 1000 characters is not a circumvention of tweets only allowing 280 characters. You are allowed to write up to 1000 characters of alt text. You are allowed to post images.
Moreover, "The Golden Compass" was illustrated with the wrong type of compass.
Technically possible, but I don't think that works with code signing (more accurately: every developer using it needs to re-sign).

The gene in question is implicated in other functions as well.

PON1 was first discovered through its ability to hydrolyse and therefore detoxify organophosphorus compounds which are widely used as pesticides and nerve gases. Despite decades of research it is only now becoming clear that PON1 protects humans from the acute and chronic harmful effects of these compounds[20][21] Low PON1 activity found in children may increase their susceptibility to organophosphates.

Oxidised-lipids are the major cause of inflammation and are responsible for the initiation and/or propagation of several inflammatory diseases including atherosclerosis (heart disease and stroke), diabetes, liver and kidney diseases, rheumatic diseases, eye diseases (macular degeneration), cancer and HIV infection[citation needed]. Because of its ability to destroy oxidised-lipids PON1 appears to play some role in all these diseases. However, the greatest research interest has been the role of PON1 in atherosclerosis, where, because of its ability to remove harmful oxidised-lipids, PON1 protects against the development of atherosclerosis[22] Oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids (notably in oxidized low-density lipoprotein) form lactone-like structures that are PON substrates.[23]
> The problem we have in the US is we tend to placate to the vocal minority, rather than realizing that they are in fact just a vocal minority.

I think it's related to trauma fetishization combined with child worship.

Trauma fetishization: The person who is most traumatized by a thing should be the one who dictates policy about that thing. People who have lost children qualify, and we literally name the laws after their dead children.

Child worship: Children are without trauma, and therefore without neurosis. When you traumatize them or through inaction allow them to be traumatized, you have created neurosis, which is the source of all problems in society.

> "don't listen to what I say, only to what I do",

There is a close enough express in English that it translates. "Do what I say, not what I do", is something parents tell kids when the parents want the kids to behave better than the parents do! For example, if a parent smokes, they may tell their kid "don't smoke, do what I say not what I do."
Lol, I don't think it's a crash. It's probably most likely 2 or 3 whales that have colluded on a correction and re-purchase strategy. I mean I just don't trust any of it any more. It's more or less completely unregulated (not that the regulated market isn't manipulated too)
don't worry, we will destroy the planet before that.
this is sort of getting into the definition of black holes and event horizons. I don't think they really have solid surfaces, I would expect all imaging here to show fuzzy samples.
> Anyone who is a citizen is already an American. Or do you mean only white Americans are "real" Americans?

Who said anything about white people? I’m talking about distinct cultural communities with roots in the country, who live in places which are deeply reflective of the culture of those people. Some of those people are white (like my wife’s family who settled the Oregon coast), some are Hispanic (Mexican Americans in Texas), many are Black, many are American Indians. Conversely, many white people lack deep roots in the country, and no part of the country really reflects their cultural heritage.

One of the most fundamental aspects of democracy is drawing the boundaries of the body politic. My parent’s generation went to war to create a country where the body politic would be mainly Bangla-speaking people, instead of sharing a body politic with Urdu-speaking Pakistanis. Why would I begrudge a descendant of Germans in the Midwest or a Tejano in Texas for having the same impulse?

I see the "claim this profile", which I'd like to do but I want to ensure that anyone in the company can do this, it's not an "ownership" assertion, is it?
Right, exactly. Something that seemed like it should work but no one had ever tried it.
So it seems that no one should use anymore any "digital", e.g. mobile, mail or whatever "over the wire" way of communication. I was always worried about communicating that has any surveillance. My own stuff should be my own things. We should use older way of communication between us on daily basis and just occasionally use the "over the digital media" communication for quick agreement on person to person or person to group meetings. Anyway, all this gone so far that we really do not need digital way of communication, sharing things. The things like Facebook are crap. The peoples are not digital, they are physical beings and the way we should interact is out of the "digital world".
I'm glad that a long overdue reality check is coming. But I'm incredibly sad that many, many small fish will lose their entire life's savings in the hours and days and weeks ahead. I've already seen random social media postings of attempted suicides, or talk of it. We will lose actual human beings in this.

And, what's worse, is that the real grifters and crooks will walk away clean once again. There isn't enough time or justice in this universe to nail them all and that's a crime in itself.

Solarpunk only really got started in the last years of Iain Banks' life, and is generally set closer to the near future. I can't really think of much in the way of ecological themes in the Culture novels, and all the special effects in them are powered by antimatter and the "energy grid" between different unverses rather than solar power.

That reporting also showed how the core members of LAPSUS$ were involved in selling a service offering fraudulent Emergency Data Requests (EDRs), wherein the hackers use compromised police and government email accounts to file warrantless data requests with social media firms, mobile telephony providers and other technology firms, attesting that the information being requested can’t wait for a warrant because it relates to an urgent matter of life and death.
Glass is breakable yes, and I use the glass straws at home so I can't really speak to carrying them around (I rarely eat out so never had a need to).
That really puts the significance of this new image into perspective.
A pilot declaring an in-flight emergency gets near authority over the airspace they are in. After confirming the declaration fuel/passenger count, the next question a controller usually asks is "what are your intentions?", ie "what are you going do, so we can get everyone out of your way?"

I've never heard a controller get more authoritative than politely ask the pilot if they'll consider something or are able to do something.
> Because, honestly, you can't be so ignorant .. YES: The WEST DOES have political persecution the way Russia does.

With all due respect which is none, I don't think you personally know someone who was persecuted in some way or another. I do know several. (Assuming you're in the US)

Also, you're exhibiting survivor bias: Russia had no Assange of its own, but this does not mean it doesn't have this kind of dirty secrets.
I once interviewed a candidate who (1) picked C to solve the programming problem they were given (some other languages were acceptable, and, actually, preferred) and (2) did not know how to dynamically allocate memory in that language.

I did spot them the malloc() call (I certainly would not have wanted the interview to get bogged down for that), but yes, I did hold not knowing that against them in my evaluation.
I have been working on a side project for going on 12 years now. In that time a bunch of competitors popped up. I gave up on the idea several times. All the competitors shut down their public APIs though, which is why I started up on it again about 5 years ago. I've got it in a place I really like. I use it daily.

The biggest blocker for me right now to making it open is wanting improved security. I ideally want all the data encrypted in a way I can't read it. I haven't worked out the scheme.

I've got it in a sort of private beta, but I can't get anyone to use it other than me. And you know what, I think I'm at peace with that.

The project has been if nothing else a place for me to test ideas and try techniques. Beyond that, it's the tool I wanted.

The Digital Ocean droplet I run it on costs me all of $5 a month, the domain $15 a year. I could be doing worse.
IMO most NFTS have a significant amount of flaws that weaken any potential value as a collectible, at least in the current popular implementations.

For one thing, they're by definition tied to a shitty blockchain and you have to deal with any potential bullshit affecting said chain including fees, slow transactions, potential scams, etc. For another, they're not really an object, just a bit of json pointing likely pointing towards a flat image hosted somewhere else (that anyone can freely access via the link). Sure, they enjoyed a brief popularity and lots of media attention, but already the NFT marketplace seems to be waking up to the reality that most of these "investments" will never turn a profit. And that's the real issue I see: most of these purchases were not someone who wanted to collect something, they were made by someone who wanted to invest in an asset that would later be worth something. And so the actual value as a "collectible" has been inflated and is due for a huge crash, which is already happening.

I know some are meant to carry benefits towards the holder, like exclusive access to X service or community... that is a small minority currently though, and many of those benefits are shaping up to be just empty promises, and even then an NFT seems like a poor vehicle for systems that could have been done better without any "decentralization" or crypto integration.
NFTs are basically tulip mania and beanie babies all over again.

I've been wondering when it would crash, didn't expect it to happen this quickly. NFTs i mean.

CSAM = hash checking

There is no way to verify that a hash is actually checking for CSAM.

It can be used for anything by any future government good or bad.

E.g. an Austrian musician was recently imprisoned for 10 years for composing/producing pro-Nazi songs. A hash check could find anyone who listened to the music (even reporters curious to listen to what they are reporting on.)

CSAM is a useful vehicle to get this technology deployed since no one is pro CSAM.
I thought this question was meant as a joke, but after seeing the long chain of replies I am not so sure.

I want protection from myself because society is impossibly complex for a single mind to understand.

If I buy edible stuff I trust that it won't poison me or kill me. If I drive a car I expect it respond to my commands and I expect other drivers to have a minimum amount of knowledge that they can actually assume and understand the risks of driving.

The protections that the SEC and other bodies expect in this area are quite reasonable if you understand that there is no such thing as "personal" freedom; your well-being and successes and failures tie into the rest of society at large. Maybe if you lose part of your savings that might be tolerable for all, but if in the process of making a bad investment you leave yourself and your family homeless, get into drug addiction, and create a large burden to those around you, it's hard to consider that to be a simple personal issue.
I love the attitude towards ergonomics over standard compliance.
And you'll see why SQL has never been really portable across databases ;-)
True, luckily the mind reading from the book has yet to be invented.
Running your own CA is a pretty common thing for companies to do, to manage internal SSL certificates. And telling systems to trust it IS a pain. Even on Desktop you can't just drop a file in a folder, because chrome and firefox don't trust the system CAs, so you have to configure those separately, and possibly other applications as well.

I don't think it is some big conspiracy, but it isn't a good situation.

EKS Fargate costs $29.55 per 1 vCPU and $3.25 per 1GB of memory per month. This is listed in their official docs: https://aws.amazon.com/fargate/pricing/

Let's say you plan to run 5 web apps, 3 replicas of each and they all need 4gb of memory.

Fargate demands you reserve 2 vCPUs for 4gb even if your app only needs 20% of 1 CPU, so you're wasting 1.8 CPUs per replica of each app. Often times web apps use a lot more memory than CPU, even with Ruby or Python your web app might be humming along at like 5% CPU load while using potentially gigs of memory.

That leaves you paying:

5 * 3 * 4gb of memory = 60gb of memory = $195.00
5 * 3 * 2 cpus = 30 cpu cores = $886.50
= $1,081.50

You're wasting a ton of CPU here because of AWS' rules on EKS Fargate memory / cpu size combos.

To run your workload on EC2 you can grab yourself (4) m6i.xlarge instances which has 16 CPU cores and 64gb of memory of total capacity which is $560.64 (grand total for 4).

In this case Fargate is double the cost, to me that is a lot. You do have less CPU capacity but it doesn't matter, your apps aren't coming close to that in CPU usage.

If your work load supported it (stateless web apps that can finish a request within 2 minutes) you could use EC2 spot instances too which would be $122.35 total instead of $560.64.

Both regular instance and spot instance prices were taken from AWS' official docs, I just multiplied their hourly values by 730 which is how many hours AWS uses to calculate 1 month.
