Usually ID checks happen at on-boarding, not interviewing, but still you would think it would be a perfect place to verify and then dismiss the person the same day.

Actually I wouldn't even dismiss them... I'd list them as "never having shown up" so they were terminated for cause. Last thing I would do is give an unsub login credentials, e-mail access, etc. so they can continue to perpetuate their fraud.
I'm curious: what answers _did_ you give?
I have not experienced this personally, but someone I met told me they have encountered (or maybe also heard of) candidates who were lip-synching someone else's voice to answer questions during an interview. Basically, this person was warning that we should pay attention to a candidate's lips to make sure that they are the person who is actually speaking because there may be someone out of sight of the camera who may be providing competent answers. It doesn't surprise me because a lot of these remote or tech jobs are in high demand; but I don't understand what the cheater who actually gets hired would actually do. Part of me thinks they may actually be hackers or foreign agents.

I see this problem a bit more nuanced. Why does everybody starting with the assumption that the solution is SQL? You can get very far with a k:v store like S3 for example. On the top of that, if you really need SQL you can use a lot of different systems (without k8s).
I agree, especially considering the version of the story Vonnegut previous told in Sirens of Titan [1]. In that story (written earlier), the people are shown willingly embracing handicaps out of love. Definitely makes an interesting contrast. My theory is that he wrote the later story (Bergeron) is to clarify the distinction you mention. Loving people will want to "handicap" themselves for the sake of solidarity, but you can't turn it around the other way.

Yup, at the time it was one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history.

Also note that this was not a kinetic/physical attack, and this sabotage almost surely was kinetic/physical.

The key factors in thinking about is so are are that 1) it's much more important for the US to maintain stable/low prices, and 2) Norway is already investigating drone activity over it's oil/gas fields, and this happens the same day as Norway announces their new pipeline opening.

>kilotons of TNT should be converted to terajoules

I disagree with this one. A ton of TNT is much more easily understood vs some measurement of energy that no normal human has any capacity of understanding.

Also, milliangstroms vs picometers. if you are already using angstroms, then dividing it by milli makes sense.

This sort of glosses over all the other computers Tandy made or rebadged. It only briefly refers to the original TRS-80s, and doesn't seem to mention anything else like the CoCos, the Pocket Computers and the Model 100 family. At least for a period of time those were nearly as important as the PCs, particularly the M100. I worked with an elementary school teacher who had a whole room full of networked CoCo 2s (using the cassette interface rotary network) and a CoCo 3 as the server. The fractions math trainer I wrote for them was still in use years later.
They use the same route. Your assertion that NS2 is somehow out-of-place and can only be explained by Russian "gas politics" is contradicted by the precedent set by NS1.
This infrastructure isn’t needed for two person conversations. What you’ve missing is that in a group situation, you’re not just trusting the group leader, but everyone in the call. The larger the group and the lower the barriers to entry, the worse it is.

Yep. Sadly this is the mindset of Putin, and why he cares so little about GHG...

I'm sure the Russian population does not think like that, but it's not as if they had their say...
The problem is the flip side: companies that demand 10+ years of experience in technologies that have been around for 5, and similar absurdities.

More simply and commonly, the amount of experience required for supposedly "junior" positions has gone up without commensurate increases in pay.

And far, far, far too many companies demand that a candidate be able to hit the ground running instantly—that they have exactly the experience and skills required for this position, rather than being someone who may not know every possible way to configure Kubernetes, but who's flexible and both willing and able to learn quickly.

I would never do it personally (both out of a sense of honesty, and a deep-seated fear that I'd be found out), but I can certainly see why lots of people lie on their resumes.
I think even this model can be gamed.

I interviewed a contractor over video a few weeks ago. Both of us live on camera. The candidate wore glasses and I could see their eyes darting back and forth across their screen while answering questions. There were also a high number of really abnormal pauses before responding.

I'm 99% convinced the candidate was being fed answers by someone else listening in.

The issue is not in the car but in hours of sunlight vs battery SOC when the Sun start giving enough energy to charge... If you charge at 3kW it's a slow charge. In winter it means you end up in the "evening" after all "Sun day" at 3kW and still the battery hardly have more than 80%.

IF you charge at let's say 7-10kW than things change...

"Gigantic risk for the US and would eventually be found out"

This is predicated on the assumption that the US intelligence community would leak it anytime soon (within the current presidency). That seems like a very poor assumption. If it's never proven they did it, there's no real risk because people who don't want to believe will invent other explanations. You see it happening in this thread already - it's not the country that literally said they had ways to ensure NS2 would never activate, no, it must be the country that built it. 4D chess!

"These pipelines weren't deliving gas anyway"

No, but that could have been changed very quickly if wanted. All three pipelines were pressurized. NS2 was all new equipment, ready and waiting to go.

"The US would prefer energy markets to be stable and not have sky-high prices"

The US has consistently and strongly opposed European dependence on Russian natgas under (at least) two different presidents. Neither of them seemed to care much about the question of what to replace it with. At any rate such an operation would be signed off by Biden and highly classified, so it's not like "the US" would have an opinion on what matters more anyway, just a senile old man.

Your speculations are interesting. But the above adds nothing.

There’s nothing magical about having been in the KGB and one can’t determine one’s aptitude for ‘sneakiness’ from same. It’s just silly.
Putin has been in power for 20+ years. There’s no need to draw conclusions about his character from his KGB days when you have such a rich history since then.

As an analogy, I remember when folks said Reagan was a great communicator because he had been an actor. Hogwash. He had been a politician far longer than an actor, served as the governor of California, leadership roles in the party and unions, etc. That is, his skill in communication while President was fostered from these experiences and not some ancient movie acting he did.

>>Who says the US is sensitive to gas prices in Europe?

The US was already somewhat sensitive to global NatGas prices even before they recently permitted exports. Since we started permitting exports of NatGas, and are now actively sending all we physically can to support EU, it definitely affects both heating and electrical costs in the US, and the economy and political climate is very sensitive to those inputs.
These kind of frauds are really bad for legitimate remote workers. Hope employers don't get burned and start cutting back on remote opportunities.
I think people focus too much on the actual car in this speculation. What about the service? Apple is really, really good at finding industries full of bullshit (computers in the 80's, mobile phones in the early 2000's) and saying, "okay, here's a slightly better looking product, with fewer features, and no more bullshit."

The vehicle market is full of bullshit. Tesla took the same tactic and has knocked it down considerably, but there's still the rest of the market.

> I'm absolutely baffled at how you think the war is at a stalemate when even the western analysts that have infinite praise for Ukraine are admitting unsustainable casualties of both Ukrainian trained troops and military hardware.

Are we going to ignore the fact Russia just started a draft? Russia is not winning this war. Ukraine isn't entirely either. Russia also has unsustainable casualties (evident by the draft) and military equipment. Russia is depleting it's modern equipment/weapons and relying on more old equipment/weapons that's less accurate and dependable.

If Russia didn't call for mobilization to replenish their forces, Ukraine is on it's way to bulldozing Russian defenses like they're currently doing in the Kharkiv offensive.

That's also an option, but you would have problems with precision and deniability*.

You could use some WW2 style device and blame it on German mines that are still present.
It doesn't pass the smell test for the simple reason that Germany and the EU were already ending dependency on Russian gas, because Russia has made it abundantly clear that any such dependency on Russia is a national security threat.

This wasn't done to coerce European countries. This was done to stir chaos and make it look like someone other than Russia committed sabotage.
Ask and ye shall receive: Biogen annual net income for the year ending...

2013-June-30: $1608M

2014-June-30: $2140M

2015-June-30: $3490M

Also, because someone asked, edgar has a bar chart breakdown of Biogen's product revenue. The lawsuit was about Biogen's drugs Avonex, Tysabri and Tecfidera. The bar chart (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/875045/0000875045150...) seems to indicate that these three were responsible for about 80-83% of Biogen's revenues (and presumably net income?) in 2014.

I guess what we don't know is what their sales would have been like without the kickbacks? Less, presumably? But 0? Probably not.
> Do you just repost the same content everywhere?

I treat each platform differently. Reposting the same content across platforms is too easy and comes across as unprofessional. You need to leverage the unique selling point of each channel you're on. So Twitter would be handy for iterative small changes announcements, Facebook could be for more long-form content and using groups and pages to elaborate on topics. Reddit could be used for AMAs and forum-like discussion, aswell as Q&A.

We're focusing mostly on new hires, but since work-from-home went mainstream, I've observed some existing and trusted employees suddenly always off camera during zoom meetings, with a different voice. Often along with a dip in the quality of their work.
Could also be shoddy workmanship. Country of origin for the workman is at best a vague hint of quality, and a poor construction can take years if not decades to fail. Keystone's XL decommissioning planned penned out that they expected a minimum of 50 years of service from that pipeline, but over half the pipelines in the US carrying oil and gas are in excess of 60 years old and still operating.

Until the investigation is perform though, we simply don't have enough to go on.

When you have that much cash on hand, is it really?
Does anybody know what this means in terms of bringing the pipeline back online? I'm assuming it's filling with seawater, which seems like it would cause all sorts of problems between the salt and debris.

Is it a matter of repairing the breaches, removing the water, cleaning the pipeline out, and pressurizing it or is this pipeline effectively destroyed?
> The problem was, Tandy didn’t really have a succession plan [for the Tandy 1000].

Sounds familiar... sitting back and treating their successful models as cash cows killed at least one other home computer pioneer: Commodore. The original Amigas (A1000/A500/A2000) were successful (more in Europe than in the US, but still), but they were never able to come up with a worthy successor until it was too late.

Of course! See my comment above. Just remember that policy is shaped by the opinion of the general public, who, in America, overwhelmingly only read headlines, not full articles.

Because each service runs in its own isolate, it can be built and deployed independently of the others. So if some other team's code is broken at HEAD, that doesn't stop your team from deploying. Also you don't have to agree with other teams about exactly what versions of dependencies you use, you can monkey-patch APIs without braking anyone else, etc. So, all the usual development workflow benefits of microservices, without the network overhead.

I’m not really sure how they could have both failed explosively (based on seismic evidence) within 24hrs … this is either the one of the unlikeliest un-exploded ordinance event in history… or someone did this deliberately.
