Interesting, thank you.

TL;DR

> "The pipeline software that was to run the pumps, turbines and valves was programmed to go haywire, to reset pump speeds and valve settings to produce pressures far beyond those acceptable to the pipeline joints and welds. The result was the most monumental non-nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space."
> If Apple introduced a VR headset I can already tell you that I won't buy it.

I might if it worked with existing VR games, etc. because the Oculus software on Windows is a shambles. Lost count of the number of times it just plain won't start because it thinks I'm N Windows updates behind (even though I'm not.) Also had to completely wipe and reinstall a few times. Then when it does agree that I have a headset and it recognises that I'm wearing it, sometimes it'll just ... not show anything for a few minutes. Or a game will crash (not always Oculus' fault) and the software will insist I can't start anything else because the other game is still running...

macOS might have its glitches but software just works 99.9% of the time.
That terrifies me
There's no way Poland pulls this off. If ANY of the government members EVER leak this their position in the EU is done for. It's a direct act of aggression.

This would be an extremely dumb move by Poland.
How is that a problem though if the employer is upfront and honest that its to make sure you are who you say you are, and everyone honestly wants to get to know one another?

As an interviewee I'd take this as a very good sign that the company is serious about offering me a long term position. If I'm living on the west coast and my employer is on the east coast and my contract says 100% remote I'd seriously doubt the company is trying to fool me by wanting to meet me for one day, on their own dime, without further interviews.
>due to being an "adult child of someone who had been a Russian government official" (source Reuters[0]), but VK the company is not sanctioned.

I get the intention behind this rule for applying sanctions, but it still seems unfair to me that the son pays for the sins of the father and can't even atone for him.
Well, the one mortal threat to tolerance is intolerance. Rejecting warmongers & fascists is a moral perogative of a society which wishes to remain free.

I do think polarization lets us see threats as worse than they are. But also: there are very real inside insurgent threats to liberal democracy budding up & spreading quickly, at home & abroad.
> They’re way too late.

I agree but Apple is never first to the table, they always take others inventions and improve them. Apple also charges an insanely high profit margin so they might get by with or without the credits....

But I agree this is dumb for Apple to pursue.
They can set up a facility and employ people in a country without paying off their debt. What exactly does Philippines have to offer that others don't?
Behavioral consistency? That's a tall order for citizens of a country where the average citizen is purportedly fluent in 0.7 languages and only about half the population even votes.

I find with Civ V or 0ad the bots always arrived with a massive army (even on easy) when I have barely got a shed and a dude scratching out furrows with an asses jawbone.

We've seen a significant upswing in this over the last 18-24 months. It has gotten to the point where I can identify the fraudulent resumes as many of them seem to be cooked up from the same template. I wrote a quick script to identify these pretty quickly (assuming the PDF resume they submit has parseable text spans in them).

A lesser form of fraud, but still insidious at this point, are the templated resumes that misrepresent work experience. They will list a top line item in "work history" of something that sounds like tech startup, but in actuality isn't a company at all. It's just an open source project, that no one actually uses, with a website. Apart from the items listed, the candidates never have any legitimate work experience. It smells like a way to get resumes past any ATS keyword filtering and/or less-experienced recruiters.

And usually, the candidate hasn't really written much code at all in the repo. Just a smattering of readme updates, config changes, and maybe some bug fixes amounting to less than ~100-200 SLOC over the span of months.

In 100% of these cases we've seen so far, the resumes look exactly the same, including formatting/layout/etc. The projects all exist under the "OSLabs Beta" github orb [1] and the resume also lists a tech talk they did under the "SingleSprout Speaker Series" moniker. Most often, there is no actual evidence of them doing this talk, but in many cases you can find someone else doing the same talk topic on youtube if you search.

SingleSprout is a recruiting organization, so it seems at least somewhat likely that they are the ones shepherding this process, though I have no evidence of that. It could just be that they partner with this OS Labs entity as part of their candidate funnel. Whatever the case may be, this is at best (if I'm being charitable) a gross misrepresentation of candidate experience.

N.B. I am 100% OK with hiring folks based on (F)OSS experience. An active github is actually something I select for and, if its available, I will spend significant time reviewing such that I can have a meaningful discussion with the candidate about their work. These candidates are different entirely (for hopefully obvious reasons).

EDIT: Wanted to add some clarification here that this post is about the candidates involved, on the topic of hiring woes that OP brought up, but not about the specific entities I mentioned. It may just be incidental that all of the resumes we've seen have had the aforementioned patterns. It is not my intent to malign any of the orgs I referenced.
Per my understanding it isn’t strictly illegal to bribe people in foreign countries, just that it’s _often_ illegal, under circumstances I’m pretty vague about - no clue about your example. Also NAL
I suspect that the next phase is some sort of "acceptance" around the limited conditions where full autonomy might be viable in the next decade+. E.g. limited access highways in x lighting/weather conditions. Which actually seems pretty interesting. It's just probably a very big gut-punch to anyone who thought they'd never have to drive/own a car outside of some very limited areas by about now.
> Now, even with internal pressures of protesting people in germany, there is no incentive for germans to sit down with the russians

Yes, and that's exactly what Russia wants to signal now: "we're ready to go all in and use strategic nukes against NATO countries, we don't have anything to go back to".

one would think that after the "WMDs" fiasco it would be harder to manufacture consent of the US public for hundreds-of-billions-of-taxpayer-dollars destabilization of foreign nations with no apparent direct gain for our citizens, but, indeed, it's happening once again, in my lifetime.

one would think that we would now be more resistant to propagandistic conditioning of hatred toward an entire nation, but, indeed, it's happening once again, in my lifetime.

what you say makes sense and even I doubt that cloudflare will remain committed to being content neutral even if they want to be, a different issue. Government can get corporations to do what they want.

However, people continue to use cloudflare because it is easy, solves problems people don't like dealing with, and does the job. I don't know what the alternative pitch is to businesses so that cloudflare isn't so central to the internet.

I've heard of this happening. A friend of mine recently hired a candidate, but the candidate that actually "showed up" (it was a remote company) was completely different. It took his company 3 months to realize they had been duped by a scam out of India.

How did you due diligence the candidate? Background check? Docs to confirm they are US based?

I've always seen this story, less as a parable about our treatment of the disabled (or the gifted), and more as a lesson about envy. It shows what happens when you try to eliminate envy from society by bringing everyone to the same level, so that nobody has any "unfair" advantages.

edit: I think the telling line is:

> their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in

The point isn't to make people equal for the sake of an abstract egalitarian principle, the point is to stop anyone from feeling envious.

edit 2: There is one obvious problem with this attempt to prevent envy. When you handicap someone, if the handicaps are visible, you can still tell by looking at the handicaps who has the greatest talent, as happens in the story. A more dystopian version would make the handicaps invisible.

I mean one of the pain points are mainly that they treat other companies so poorly many in the industry just kinda hate their guts, not just AIB partners as shown by EVGA's messy divorce, but also others such as Apple or the Linux Foundation. While this happens their consumers are ambivalent towards them due to the fact that all their "envelope pushing" mostly being proprietary tech that drags the performance of other competitor's cards and the fact that their high end cards are price gouged akin to Intel CPUs prior to 2017 due to a lack of meaningful competition. All that and their recent negative pr from price gouging the mining boom, the "4080" 12gb, and Jensen being publicly out of touch about the price of computer hardware "unfortunately never going down" in this context has dragged their goodwill a bit lately.
Yeah, my experience as well. Pianos are one of the instruments that don't get better with age so even a top brand instrument will eventually be pretty cheap.

I have, in fact, sat through many, many all days math exams. Not with open ended questions exactly as that wasn't the fashion in math at the time, but in other topics, sure. And yes, I was prepared to explain what I answered and why.

It's an exaggeration to say everyone hates post game discussion. Magnus used to dislike it somewhat, possibly - it was hilarious how Norwegian newspapers tried to turn him into a celebrity in those days because hey! Chess superstar! And it all fell flat because he was so unbelievably boring at the time, lol. He got more social confidence as he got older (and the media got better too, getting people who actually had a clue about chess to talk to him).

But these days, the young GMs are on twitch for heaven's sake. From a social and media standpoint, Niemann is perfectly competent, a lot more so than Magnus was at his age. It's explaining his play he avoids. So yes, it's suspicious. I'm equally surprised at why you would think people would just overlook this.
Someone just posted a story on "being impersonated" :

> That's the thing, there is high demand, and they have supply, they also can sell them contracts to build more infrastructure to increase the rate at wich supply is delivered

Sure, but it's not like they can build large LNG cargo ships overnight.

Per Wikpedia: "According to SIGTTO data, in 2019 there were 154 LNG carriers on order, and 584 operating LNG carriers" -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNG_carrier

So sounds like they were already backordered ridiculously. Something tells me it has only gotten worse since.
one thing I've been curious about is since workerd is not a secure sandbox, what does Cloudflare use internally to make it secure?

AWS uses/maintains Firecracker which meets criteria to be considered secure but has a 300ms start. I've been confused how Cloudflare can sandbox things safely without the same cost
It doesn't make sense to suggest that the OP's company deserves this because some other companies did some things you didn't like. This idea that all businesses are bad and deserve to be cheated by their employees is extremely immature.

> When companies outsource to dodgy subcontractors it's fine, but when the common man does it suddenly it's no good?

Subcontractors are engaged on different terms and with specific contracts that require subcontractors to also engage in specific contracts.

If an individual employee hands their logins to someone else and says "pretend its me" then it's clear fraud, not to mention a breach of the documents you agreed to when you signed.

> In business this is called "business process outsourcing",

No, it's not. Outsourcing specific operations is done with carefully limited access to only the data necessary.

Hiring a programmer and giving them access to your company Slack and source code is entirely different.
That's every channel, eventually.

It's also why I stopped reading The Economist on development economics and foreign aid issues.
>I figured if you can understand that "alms for the poor" isn't an example of "reverse discrimination"

This is comparing apples to oranges. Alms for the poor is a personal choice: I decide to give some of my own money to someone who I think needs it more than I do.

"Reverse discrimination" in the sense you're using it refers (within this analogy) to somebody else taking your money away from you, because they believe that somebody needs it more than you do. I could write a book (others already have) about how many things can and always do go wrong with this approach.
It's really not that absurd. The fact that it looks entirely irrational for Russia to do this is exactly why they might have done it. Their intent is to cause division in the West. They could potentially hope for EU countries to blame the US or Ukraine for this. If you read Twitter trends you already see an army of Russian bots pushing the theory that the US has done this.

There's also "the Sicilian option". Putin, knowing that the pipelines are no longer practically useful, blew them up deliberately to seed mistrust and discontent among NATO allies.

"Lobbying" and corruption are inseparable in Washington. Lobbying is how you get access and cut deals. Where there are lobbyists, there's corruption: public interests sacrificed for special private interests (or even foreign interests).

> it would have to be extremely substandard to have failed this quickly

Yes, but that’s assuming proper maintenance.

Russia doesn’t have domestic technology to build or maintain complicated infrastructure like these undersea pipelines. International sanctions against Russia are rather wide. For instance, Halliburton (a US oil field service company) no longer operates in Russia: https://www.halliburton.com/en/about-us/press-release/hallib...

It’s possible these sanctions affected the ability of Russians to maintain the pipeline, which might cause that thing to fail prematurely.
I think there's a third obvious reason: large teams form later in the maturity of a project. When it's two or three motivated inventors it's easier to be productive and it's also easier to convince yourself and others that you're super productive. That becomes a lot harder when the more mundane tasks of scaling up enter the picture.

This is super cool! I tried it on a video I recorded a while ago that I completely forgot about and was like wait wow the summary came away with points that I'd be glad a viewer got.

One thing is it was a very long and rambling video and probably didn't do a great job of motivating examples rather than just getting bogged down in them for a while, so the summary doesn't really say how the examples support the central claim, but that may be the fault of the video honestly lol...

Also a few basic errors like writing "medium" where I'm pretty sure I said or at least meant "median" and in one case, I'd have to go back and watch this to be sure, but it seems like the summary says something is better in B than in A when I was saying it's better in A than B. The summary definitely touches the right content but I'm not sure it's correct.

Also funnily I have a tendency to sprinkle the word "like" liberally(for better or worse) and the summary copies some of the sentences verbatim, starting with "Like..."
