In the federal elections, primaries have the same problem: people who vote in them tend to be much more ideologically motivated than general populace.

That's how you end up with parties that oppose policies supported by a supermajority of their voters - that opposition doesn't matter because those voters won't vote for the other party (with whom they disagree on way more) anyway, so all that matters is winning the primaries.

This is a response to last week's Dobbs v. Jackson case which overturned the 50-year-old precendent of Roe v. Wade guaranteeing access to abortion in all US states.

An immediate concern amongst digital rights organisations has been potential risk that might be created through records created from Web, email, travel / location, phone, and other digital tools. The EFF has issued a specific caution on this:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/06/effs-statement-dobbs-a...

The ASNG is a tool intended to make such searches more difficult by adding many instances of searches from people who are not, or at least may not, be presently seeking abortion or other reproductive health services. It's in the spirit of several earlier such tools.

I've concerns over how effective the tool might be. Though I applaud the general principle. Unfortunately, faked vs. legitimate signals tend to have other reasonably readily-detected patterns, and "fuzzing attacks" to obfuscate activity are on their own probably not enough. This is why strong personal privacy rights are so critically important, and technical countermeasures can only get one so far. Unfortunately what's being seen is a profound reduction in such privacy rights.

The surveillance capitalism infrastructure is very much to blame here.

I get it, interviewing sucks, Leetcode sucks and FAANG-level interviews are tailored for a very specific skillset.

And while Leetcode problems are a horrible proxy, there are a few caveats to be aware of:

- In terms of acquired skill level, I guess we all agree it's harder to gain context on a new codebase and debug production issues at 6am. However, we do this repeatedly, every time we switch jobs. Contexts are different, business, issues and tech stacks are different. Yet, we always succeed.
Leetcode should be the same: just a crap you have to shove down for a few months before interviewing and then forget about. It's not pleasant, but, if you can debug prod issues with ease, a few relaxed months doing some closed-form problems that repeat themselves over and over should be _doable_.

- Not all companies require technical interviews based on Leetcode.

In the end, the weight of: effort put in vs. company reputation vs. salary will end up dictating what you will be able to (or want to) apply for and work hard for.

I personally am on your boat: hate leetcode, suck at it 100%, but, I've accepted that there are many, many great companies which have fair and representative interview processes and still allow you to do meaningful work. You know, the companies you've never heard about on the internet in your local area or city? Yep, those ones.

I believe that this kind of "self-pity" or claiming that the entire industry sucks, is broken, needs Leetcode is a bit too much.
Sure, some very high stakes companies do it, but, again, those will attract the engineers who have the willingness, perseverance and skill to power through those problems (plus system design too!!) and get the job. It's a skill. The more conscious effort you put into it, the better you will become.

The real issue is then losing sight of the forest for the trees: the real work begins once you are hired. I don't know if this process truly finds _better_ candidates in average... But, imo, it doesn't need to: there will be extremely smart people who will simply stay away out of these types of processes and that's totally fine, as it keeps the talent pools balanced and creates super cool and interesting work environments and projects centered around "the other 99%" of companies.
I don't know enough about BPD but thank you for sharing your experience. For both points, one thing that bothers me about them is how it is assumed a person who needs them is able to obtain them. If you have social anxiety or various sociological or cultural realities preventing you from seeing s therapist and getting a perscription what is the alternative? If I can get mortally and legally intoxicated in alcohol then why can't a patient use a chatroom to talk to psychiatrists and get relevant medication otc?

Yes - the feed likely consists of things like the canonical product name, description, weight/size, recommended price, pack shots, and nutritional info.

Trolley.co.uk might be able sidestep this demand by displaying ONLY the product names and prices, but it'd be a much less visually-appealing site as a result.
That's true. On the other hand battery tech is improving at a breakneck speed at the moment due to the money being poured into it by huge companies.

Tesla has already moved to LFP batteries that don't need any Cobalt and there are dozens of companies with working prototypes/pre-production models with different properties.

> how many people were assaulted by men thinking they were deckard? It’s not zero

It's zero.

Why aren't you getting your moral radar in a spin about the numerous violent and aggressive scenes in this or any movie? The real world has a huge problem with violence and guns after all.

I presume you eat popcorn as people or replicants are shot and killed on screen, or when poetic, philosophical replicants crush the skulls of their maker humans.... but draw the line at a coercive kiss? That's when you put the popcorn down?

Fiction movies are not real-life benchmarks or instruction manuals for life. Characters are flawed, scenes shocking, stories twisted. Deckard is not Dr Richard Kimble. Deckard is a "killing machine" in a dark sci-fi movie. His pre-kiss tantrum was him as Mr Nice Guy relative to his other actions.
Most everyone experiences joy at many points in life. Joy comes from family, friends, accomplishment/mastery, personal growth, learning, and sometimes just from having a great day. It’s not like you need a yacht to find some joy.
The answer to your question is that PHP's mysql library was pretty much alone, even at the time, in not supporting parametrization. Also your idea for automatic html escaping had been the norm in the Rails community for like 10 years and the JS community is also pretty good, but here I am unclear why not all language communities followed suit.
Isn't this pretty much exactly what the 'Cascading' section of the post already, at least partially, addresses?
I genuinely don't understand some economists. "For China, the rock is the global economy which is decidedly un-inflationary and only getting more so by the month." Global inflation has been steadily rising from 2-3% at the start of 2021 and is at something like 6-7% now. The only way you can claim that the global economy is "un-inflationary" is if you ignore what the actual economy is doing and is likely to do when, oh let's see, winter arrives in Europe and there's a massive gas shortage due to the ongoing war I
Ukraine , and instead only look at your neo classical mathematical models.
> The one no one mentions is that stupid people may have fewer friends.

It's the other way, in my experience.

People tend to be friends with other people of similar intelligence and since intelligence follows the normal distribution, people with most friends are of average intelligence.

Income also (mostly) follows intelligence, meaning less intelligent people have it tougher, meaning it is harder for them to set boundaries at work. This in turn makes them accommodate wildly differing opinions as they can not pick their coworkers and some degree of harmony is a must in the workplace.

Meaning they are trained to get along with college graduated engineers as well as flat earth crackpots. Thus they draw from a much wider pool of potential friends.

It is handy to be friends with an old landlady, despite her believing in the healing power of minerals in your pocket. She still has the cash and the spare room to throw the party.

Especially when she regularly hires your flat earther husband to paint her flats as the college student tenants graduate and move on.

What I liked about Square’s pair programming interview is that they would tell you its about these things instead of smugly hiding them as dark patterns.

There are waaaay more interviews that say you can use a search engine and then take points off for doing it. There are way more interviews that are more like academia that rely on rote memorization for an assessment and would consider reference material cheating.

Industry needs a trade group just for interviewing practices. You’re so confident in what you wrote its comical.
This. Also, there are a few moments scattered throughout the book where the hobbits get to eavesdrop on conversations between Sauron's orcs and we gatch a few glimpses of Mordor's internal organisation.

The tone of those conversations always struck me as surprisingly "modern" compared to the "epic medieval" style of the rest of the book: Orcs apparently have ID numbers, they complain about arrogant bosses, at some point talk about one of the Nazgul's winged beasts like requesting a helicopter flight, talk about setting up on their own, etc.

The talk sounds more like that of a frustrated and cynical foot soldier in a modern millitary or an employee in a megacorp would sound than some medieval thug.

Sauron's and Saruman's architecture is also very clearly industrial - the book is much more explicit about that than the movie: Isengard is described as full of technology, while buildings in Mordor (and later in occupied Shire) are described as barracks and huts made out of bricks, connected by a regular network of roads. And then there is the "new mill" in the Shire...
Yet, people can and will use heuristics as GP does to make such inferences all the time. I don’t think we can help it. Whether that’s a problem depends on what one does with such an inference.

In the case of a suspected cold, it’s perfectly reasonable to keep one’s distance to try to avoid catching it, whether the supposition is correct or not.

Suspected depression? Harder to say, but at minimum I hope that appraisal engenders understanding and compassion. I think gently suggesting someone seek professional help is reasonable. I also think we have a tendency to overly pathologize perfectly normal mental states, however, and especially if (as the OP states) a person appraises themselves to be OK, then suggestion should not become insistence.

> The images are obviously going to be copyrighted

Copyrights are inadvertent and sometimes unintuitive. If the images are created by the product manufacturers, then they hold the copyrights. If the supermarkets edit the images, then they hold copyrights to these edits.

Likewise, if trolley edits the images (undoing the supermarket edits, like cropping around some text) then trolley together with the manufacturer holds the copyright for this new image, not the supermarket.

It doesn't matter where it was scraped from or who was hosting the image, just as it doesn't matter which camera was used.
> my immediate reaction was a refusal to be impressed

Do not get confused: of course in front of the sensational you will oppose "a refusal to be impressed". But you are supposed, as an adequately mature individual, to have well developed filters¹ - exercised since day one of the spark of insight.

We cannot assume that you use language sensationally, childishly. It cannot be the default.

¹Edit: I replaced with 'filters' the formerly used 'control', which may sound too active (there is of course no need for active contrast, against common agents, in the mature individual).

Taking such a condescending stance (over what amounts to be etiquette) is ridiculous. It's not unusual, or even rude, to make an ask in a discussion-based forum. Ofc the choice to engage further, is voluntary.
possibly stupid question: generically, how would you suggest to start actually finding a problem in any industry?
Because anti-trust. Companies answer to countries who don't like anti-competitive companies that aren't controlled by the state. People won't care but politicians will take notice of any company controlling almost all of their market which effectively gives them political leverage and dissatisfied voters. They also make for a great punching bag when politicians want to act like they are for the people because 100 million fine against Google means relatively little to google but a lot for getting voters to vote for you.
The UK has FootballDataCo which historically "owned" the fact a football match between two clubs will be held on a particular date, irrespective of how the publisher found out that fact. So UK law has not alway been sensible about this.

0.y.z is kind of an "all bets are off" situation in semver: https://semver.org/#spec-item-4

Variant schemes like the one respected by Cargo (https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/semver.html) aren't usually much different.

> Initial development releases starting with "0.y.z" can treat changes in "y" as a major release, and "z" as a minor release.

It's a little more nuanced. Causation can be inferred in an experimental design. If the researchers can manipulate the independent variable (the vaccine) using an experimental and a placebo group, and then they can measure a statistically (and clinically) significant difference, then we can assume that this is not just correlation.

Large data pools are inherently dangrous. They are what enable surveillance, coercion, manipulation, and chilling effects.

Google are only one business which included here ... the linked post was made on a service it had hosted at the time.

Other major Internet companies including Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and others, as well as communications companies (Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, T-Mobile, ...), and a vast layer of less visible firms largely providing B2B services ranging from the credit bureaus (Equifax, Transunion, Experian) to payroll processors (ADP), and many, many more, are also included.

The fact I'd originally posted this on the anniversary of Kristallnacht was entirely unintentional, though a happy accident, if one may use that adjective in this context.

This is really cool. In the last couple of years of my grandad's life the most useful thing we got him was a walking aid that had a tray and a basket on it. It made such a difference for him being able to move things around his flat and stay independent.
Universities have mixed incentives at best in terms of certifying graduates. A degree program that routinely failed a high portion of students of the program would soon find few students entering the program. Because universities see students as a customer first, there is a strong incentive to give the customer's the product that they're paying for.

University degree program do care about rankings, which entails some concern about the quality of graduates awarded a degree. But they mainly address that by filtering students at admission time. Some program still have weed out courses to nudge students into alternative programs early on. But once the student is committed to the program, there is a strong incentive to award a degree regardless of their demonstrated capabilities.
If you host a site on your own bare VPS and only use server-side
analytics then one could argue that's "not violating privacy". The
client browser is volunteering up UA and other network information.

You may have the most ethical intentions and respect for your web
users. But sadly, you throw all that to the crows the moment you
outsource to third party "cloud" services. Free and cheap webhosting
and analytics services all make their money by spying on traffic and
selling it to aggregators and whatnot. As soon as you add third party
JavaScript to a page you abdicate all such claims and control.

Claiming that technology is the problem is naive; it's misuse of technology and lack of appropriate legal frameworks that is the problem.

Being able to walk through an e-passport gate is awesome, we _should_ be using technology to make our lives easier.

But it needs to go hand in hand with legal protections; imagine the past world where car manufacturers were not held to any safety standards or regulations, cars would not be such a boon to us as they are now.

It's not healthy when an industry makes it extremely hard (grind for months) for staff+ candidates to switch companies and expects them to prove themselves every single time. Not sure if other professions have similar strategies. Again, I've accepted it but this needs to be said.
Also, you mention "a few relaxed months doing some closed-form problems". Sorry, they're not relaxed at all. You've to find time to do them after work when you're tired + need to ensure you can remember the patterns.

Okay, but I recall Superman used much harder blue-screen trickery, and was earlier than Blade Runner. They had to key out a man with flapping cape and wind in hair.

Even if not keyed, the rear projection would have worked too. Doesn't matter I guess. I didn't realise 2001 had flat screens! Good pickup.
The iCloud service is separate from the App Store service, and you can be logged into one but not the other, however you log in to both using the same AppleID. You can actually be logged into iCloud using one AppleID and the App Store with a different one, at least a family member had their phone set up that way for a while, for reasons.

If you set up a Mac without an AppleID you'll constantly get nagged every time anything that requires it tries to do anything, which is frequently.

They converted the original JAX weights to the format that Pytorch uses. Because JAX is still fairly new, it can be a lot easier to get Pytorch to run on e.g. CPU. I do find the number of upvotes interesting and I imagine many people just upvote things that have DALLE in the title, to a degree.

Not to discourage the OP of course, great work.

You sound like you haven’t been interviewing/interviewed recently.

Knowing your DSA is one thing: the task isn’t: “let’s write some code to balance this tree”

It’s the extremely cringy “John has 40 watermelons that he needs to take to Mars” style problems

If you only need to demo your understanding of the undergrad level DSA, that’s fine. But if people have to exclusively spend 3 months preparing for LC in particular that’s just madness

And in India, people are just taking this to new heights with people beginning to no-life with LC for 3 *YEARS* and skipping everything else
It really doesn't make a whole lot of sense to build a UI in rust.

UIs generally change a lot, errors aren't so critical, and there are types of abstractions and complexity that just don't exist at the lower layers.

You could so some of the 'core' stuff in rust, but people building UIs would want to use a higher level language.

Imagine writing websites in C. Why would you want to do that, even if you could (aside from novelty).

It's quite beyond the scope of rust.

I think everyone gets that, and are still saying go get some more inspiration.
