I'm not arguing that point. But I think focusing on these frankly-stupid "look we can transfer data using light" papers severely undersells the effectiveness of air gaps, for people who do need them.

It should be obvious to anyone who has used a QR code that it's possible to transfer data over other channels, but it's pretty obvious it's happening.

Ask HN: Are LeetCode-style coding tests useful?
I was recently approached by a large tech company about a position they were trying to fill. The first step in the interview process was to complete a timed LeetCode-style coding test. I took a look at some sample exercises and these really aren't the kind of problems I work on day-to-day.

For context I'm a software architect with over 25 years experience building software and most of my time is spent coordinating, influencing and ensuring we're building the right thing. The position I was asked to interview for was a similarly senior position.

So my question is...do companies genuinely find these sorts of coding tests a valuabke filter in their interview process?
Meanwhile I've been using the same color since I hit the 250 bar, and my color (32CD32) isn't on the list at all. Though there are a few similar ones

what’s the point of a new standard when no DAW besides Bitwig supports it?
They literally said at 2:30 on the may report they will not raise the rates by 3/4ths. The exact second he said that the stock market went up 1 trillion. Today they raised it by 3/4ths. They don’t need to whisteblow when they are convinced a healthy stock market is a healthy economy. Why is Powell bringing up the stock market when his job has nothing to do with the stock market at all. All their major efforts with QE were to boost the markets. All their efforts under Biden have been short term results with no care for long term health of economy. Look how much money they printed relative to supply. Its mindblowing

https://truthout.org/articles/fed-chair-jerome-powell-sold-o...

"As Fed chair, Powell not only has an enormous amount of insider knowledge about the financial markets in the U.S. but also has sway over the laws governing those markets. He has faced scrutiny from lawmakers like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts), who has called him a “dangerous man” because of his record with being soft on banks."

"But it was Powell’s answer to the second question of the press conference that really sparked the rally. Asked whether future hikes could be even larger than 50 basis points (or half a percentage point), Powell was clear: “A 75 basis point increase is not something the committee is actively considering.”

By the end of Powell’s 47-minute press conference, stocks were up 2%. And by the close, the S&P 500SPX +1.46% was up 2.99%, for its best day since May 18, 2020. In dollar terms, Powell’s speech added about $1.1 trillion in value to the index."
Humanities - history, geography, politics, religion and partially are economics, are our legacy; what we are and therefore what we can become. They are arts not sciences. Oral and written tradition for generations before technology & science.
Of course this is important to humans, and as a species we should embrace it. Computers should augment us, not replace is.

Hypervisor-based Linux is going to be more compatible with the bleeding edge of Linux kernels, but using a system call compatibility library seems more elegant, so I'm happy to see this, and I'd like to see a version for macOS as well.

Coal is on the way out, so immaterial to argument now. Only just enough coal is burnt to fill in for insufficiently built-out renewables and storage.

In many places that role is being moved to NG. The immediate hiccup is a short-term setback that will be fixed the way we are doing, building out renewables, later storage.

> Though that can't be taken as a justification of "20% of the men get 80% of the women", which is either (obviously) false as stated, also true of the distribution of X among women, or incoherent as a meaningful metric.

Not that I agree with the quote, but... why would any of these assertions be true?

I suppose that depends on what "get" means in the quote. I think it's immediately evident that, say, 20% of men aren't married to 80% of women, for example -- so if that's what "get" means, then that doesn't add up. But I see nothing inherently wrong with the notion that 20% of men could be taking 80% of women off the market. Not because these men are dating approximately 4 women each at the same time, but because they could be rapidly playing the field. If these men are engaging in short flings with women, it would seem reasonable that the women might not want to settle on anything less than the 80 percentile of men, knowing that they can briefly hold out until another top 20%er comes along. That effectively takes them off the dating market for the other men.

Again, the stats could disagree with such a hypothesis, but I don't think there's any inherent logical contradiction in the hypothesis itself.

If we're talking about hooking up with people met at the bar, I can maybe see the quote making sense. But if we're talking about meaningful relationships, I actually find it hard to believe that a man is having a hard time finding a partner because "20% of men are stealing all of my opportunities." Though that could be easy for me to say if I'm just that damned attractive, but I don't suspect that's the case :).

I read this narrative before- but one thing that’s always lacking is the “how”. How are these politicians being bribed? They can’t take funds directly. Is it all through super pacs? If bribery is the reason why nothing can get fixed- we should focus on the mechanism of bribery itself more and fix that (which would have down stream effects of fixing all the issues it helped fester).
Try to unplug it and see if it becomes angry.
As I wrote, I have not researched those procedures.

But the same reasoning would apply. You should not alter someone else’s body for cosmetic reasons without their permission.

You might like to consider Noam Chomsky's take on the Financial Times in https://www.ft.com/content/bcdefd38-3beb-3506-b24c-82285ac87... from 2013:

> [T]he business press has a different incentive to get the facts right, Chomsky says, which is why the FT is his regular read. “Those who Adam Smith called ‘the masters of the universe’ have to understand the universe. They have to have a tolerably realistic understanding of the world that they are managing and controlling. That’s true of political elites as well, but the business world particularly. Also, the business press essentially trust their audience. They don’t have to impose propagandistic illusions to keep the rabble under control.”
TMI and Fukushima had containment, for all the good it did.
Sort of. The bosses have shares that go down in value, but it's not like they are paying into the company from their personal money to balance the books in most cases. (Not that this never happens, but it is rare I bet.)
I've only flown on 747-400s with BA and Qantas, and I've found them to be terribly loud. I've heard the 747-8s were a little quieter, but would you really say that would be better than a 787, A350, or A380?

I too have heard that the A220 is a fantastic plane. I'm looking forward to Qantas flying them.
Thanks.

A lot of human progress in core sciences and engineering is on the backs of people toiling the midnight hours on sheer passion for little monetary reward. We owe a great debt of gratitude towards them.

In any commercial organization, there are tremendous pressures in high-investment, super high-risk projects and anyone can trivially find things that are wrong with the current system. The much more difficult challenge is showing an alternate path that is superior - based on the results it achieves. The times when you see the ugly behavior of people are times of desperation. Online commenters expend a lot of effort point out how to improve things by "proving" it by linking to random studies - but the more persuasive argument is by implementing those changes in the real world. "Talk is cheap, show me the code." ;)

> Surely there's gotta be some concern here that someone could take your shit.

Sure.

Keep in mind though that crypto is battling the status quo where some arbitrary user could initiate an arbitrary chargeback through the use of a third party. Good luck building a smart contract around that!

With crypto there's no confusion or anxiety-- your coins are provably gone in the example you're citing.

In a way it's like the old error-prone analog computers vs. the new binary-logic-based digital ones. Yeah, rampant theft is bad, but it is discrete theft. And that is the point-- we can measure it in ones and zeros to build upon and compose the digital infrastructure that will become web4.

It's mostly zeros but you get the idea.

No it doesn’t suggest 2. Google “token approvals.” Or just look at metamask for like 30 seconds.
I struggle with this as well. But the feeling of shouting into the void has little to do with your writing ability. It’s much more a function of a) marketing and b) luck.

If you’re writing, it’s because you have the inkling of an idea. Through the writing process, you clarify that idea and then release it to the world. That process — the act of creation — is enough for me.

I'm not a fan of our (US + NATO) current Ukraine policy, but that isn't because I'm an isolationist. I think it's just dumb policy, on several different dimensions. The version of the criticism you're leveling right now can be inverted very easily. That the people arguing for escalation in Ukraine, that it's "the exact same thing [that] happened in 1938" (it isn't), and that unless we do things like a NFZ it leads to a larger war, have a cartoon version in their heads of war and geopolitical strategy. Where there's clear boundaries between the "good guys" and "bad guys", like this is some Marvel film where you don't really even need to watch it to know what happens (spoiler alert: the good guys win!). Perhaps they are the ones who have something, and some history, to chew on.
Gee, I thought that one was appalling, horrifying, like psychopath training. What impact did it have on you?
Probably not with the current level of technology. Especially given that the lifetime of the tank is not only "drive forward and shoot" - it needs to be fueled, oiled, repaired, restocked, pulled out of the mud, etc. Fully automating this would be a very complex task. Especially achieving it on a battlefield where there are people who are present there, unlike the remote controller, and do their best to try and not let you do any of that.
I do not know what you’re referring to, perhaps some supporting data would help.

The current method of testing for ketones is ketones freely available in blood stream. The ketones are released by the liver when it’s too full of them and thus they spill over to the blood stream. The consequence therefore is that once you’re fully keto adapted, your ketones won’t spike too high as your body can efficiently generate the required amount.

Most people who do a long fast, they’ll have 1+mmol (higher at 3+) ketones, whereas someone who’s adapted maintains sub 1mmol.

Also, if all you’re eating is protein and large fats, youre producing ketones otherwise you’d die as there’s no carbs/glucose. So yeah, Inuit and carnivore diet people couldn’t exist.

live experiments and observations are a thing, and they are happening everywhere if you do a quick search

Thank you. Most people haven't heard of this (even in KY/WV), which is odd, being one of the few instances where the military was used against citizens, helping illustrate that labor is to remain docile when abused.

There are a handful of regional books detailing the mine wars (Life, Work, and Rebellion in the Coal Fields, The WV Coal Wars/more elementary and Robert Shogan's The Battle of Blair Mountain) that are worth checking out. PBS (American Experience?) also had a 2 hour special a few years back that focused on WV and Mother Jones that was worth watching.

You don't celebrate special occassions with friends? Why not? Honestly, this is the saddest thing about the US. Other than romantic things, no one cares to celebrate friendship.
> Economics is the lies told by some middle class assholes with a degree and/or credential that get paid just enough by upper class assholes to trick low class rubes.

Why does nonsense like this get parroted so much? Economics is as much a science as any other social science. Which is to say that it's certainly imperfect and is subject to social problems surrounding science (e.g. the replication crisis), but it's still very much a science. Obviously it's an evolving field with many areas of disagreement among experts, but what science isn't? Plenty of economic principles/models have strong predictive power and broad consensus from economists.

As for your (apparent) critique, economics currently isn't very good at long-term (especially macroeconomic) forecasting. But then science isn't great at predicting weather or earthquakes long term, yet we don't dismiss those fields as lies propagated by the elite. This isn't a defense of Moody's or anything - they may well have ignored the risks of mortgage-backed securities for financial gain, and I can't speak to the accuracy of their podcast.

But your argument seems no different than claims that because pharmaceutical companies have lied and caused harm in the name of profits, the entire field of medicine is nothing but lies and propaganda and we should throw it out and switch to curing cancer with juice cleanses.

"Job creators" don't "print money", in any sense. The Fed, sure. Banks arguably do also. But job creators? No.
Some non-investment reasons: stability, locking in your cost of living for many years, the ability to remodel your home to make it look the way you want it to, and no risk of being forced to move because the home you live in gets sold and the buyer wants to live in it themselves.

In Japan, houses generally depreciate over time, yet the home ownership rate is still 60% because the other benefits of home ownership are so attractive.

If you know you want to live in a particular area for a long time, and you can afford it, home ownership is usually an attractive move.

> I'm saying it is, in my view, unreasonable that anyone who pays someone else a grand to do something suddenly has an obligation to report that to the government.

Anyone doesn't have to do this; businesses have to do this, and only for certain kinds of services and business relationships with individuals or partnerships. (e.g., my publisher has to send a 1099 to me, one of their authors, but doesn't need to send a 1099 to Ingram, their printing company.)

> It seems to be that the purpose of this requirement is the convenience of enforcement of tax compliance

I don't think anyone's made any (plausible) claim that any IRS reporting requirement is somehow related to the history of unfair labor practice? The IRS is interested in finding out how much tax they're owed; it's not like they're being provided the data to make some kind of judgement about whether contractors are being paid fairly.

That's not how it works at all. When you connect a wallet, the only unrestricted access it gives the app is the ability to see your public address.

The app does not have the ability to sign transactions on your behalf without your explicit approval.
