Maintaining is not the goal. Say you get a job that pays senior engineer money, and they fire you after maybe three weeks of you just saying "it depends" and pretending your connection is bad. You still made like $5,000. And you're probably running more than one of these scams at a time. And you're doing this from a relatively poor country with not much formal education. 100% worth it.

And who knows, maybe you manage to actually KEEP one of those jobs, which given how bad some employers are at figuring out who's good and bad at this stuff, is entirely plausible.
Anytime I see an article like this.

I think of Slatestar codex article:

"Beware the man of one study."

https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/12/beware-the-man-of-one-...

Until this is confirmed and validated in a number of studies, it's still merely an observation.
Why would they need to mention this?
I'm guessing you really should (primarily) heat the wire in the final stage. With rosin core solder you should (my assumption) get a good joint as the pad is already "wetted" by solder and the flux in the solder should make sure you wet the wire enough. Haven't tested this so do your own verification.
Thank you for clarifying - I tried to be careful in my wording here to be about candidates and not make any claims about entities involved apart from the pattern recognition I've noticed.

I'm happy to edit my post to add any needed language to properly represent anyone mentioned.
I have no clue, I just quickly searched and found a snippet of this website:

Seemed like a high enough number that would still validate my point.
Apple retail, by comparison, separates most of their salable product from the showroom, requiring a "runner" to pick up most items. But they were designed like this from the start, and have so many staff who can do this, so it doesn't feel like a colossal effort.

And the defunct Fry's Electronics went through such weird efforts to display their products even when it made no sense, going to extremes like bolting motherboards to the wall.
VK and such are state-own basically. This guy was appointed because of his father. It is not like he built the company. Pavel Durov, the founder, was basically exiled from Russia years ago.
Yes, I'd agree, this is a problem of modern society in particular. I think the challenge is to keep what's valuable and discard what is not. We are terrible at the latter.
Nice writeup, thank you for sharing so openly!

The three things I always want to know from stock picking ML people:

1. Did you put your own money in it ?

2. How'd it go?

3. How well does your engine do vs a fixed stock allocation based on trend-statistics computed on the whole time window (i.e., compared to a fixed optimal portfolio computed with mean/std values you don't have access to, but which isn't allowed to change its choice. what's the regret if you are familiar with online learning)
You're not hearing it from this libertarian.

Libertarianism is not code for rude, thoughtless, meanness, uncharitable, stealing, defrauding, enslaving, etc.

It's code for people doing what they want to, as long as they don't hurt others.

For example, I follow recommendations for making my web sites more usable for people using screen readers. Not because anyone makes me do it - I'm happy to do it.
> Is it a good legal/corporate decision to hide the person who claims to be the original and let him listen to the interview with the other candidate?

Consider the situation from the perspective of the interviewer: They don't have all of the background we did while reading this blog. They haven't even had time to process what Connor #1 said by the time that Connor #2 arrives.

The decision to hear them both out for a few minutes is reasonable, IMO. At that point in time, Connor #1 could have been lying as far as the interviewer knew. Letting them both exist in the meeting immediately cleared up any confusion.
There are plenty of ways of securing access from BYO devices. There are certainly circumstances where your statement is true but it’s very far from universal.
Did anyone else just get signed up for “Amazon photos” out of the blue for $60?
Today I got an email welcoming me to Amazon Photos, and another email saying my $60 annual subscription will renew next month. When I went to cancel, it said I would receive a pro-rated refund based on my last payment… in 2015: https://imgur.com/a/VOmJCnP

I don’t remember ever using Amazon photos.

Has this happened to anyone else?
In my view Debian boiled an ocean for no discernable gain and caused a lot of trouble for everyone in the process. Fedora is using bash and I hope we continue rejecting the mistake Debian made.
Getting rid of trash service would solve a lot, yes... though it would take some adjustments. It's a lot harder if you're denser urban.

I got tired of paying a lot of money to have trash hauled, so I solved it around our property. I built a trash trailer out of some old stuff laying at a relative's place (old pickup bed trailer and a topper, some new plywood for the bottom, some Great Stuff foam to seal it up, and a couple used tires), and I now haul trash every 18 months, aiming for 24 months. Food waste goes to the property cats or the compost bins, and I'm able to separate out almost all our waste stream into assorted recycling or reusable packing material (boxes, newspaper, random padding, stuff like that gets reused either by me or by some other people locally with some ecommerce sorts of sales flows). Very little ends up in the trash trailer, and it's not organic, so it just sits there until I haul it.

It's really quite eye opening just how much waste there is in the normal flows of packaging material. I have a local(ish...) way to deal with plastic waste, so I can deal with the "mixed unusual plastics" in a recycling flow as well (it goes to be burned to offset coal use in a cement kiln over in Utah), but that makes up an awful lot of volume in our waste.

With the metal recycling, though, I'm "net positive" on annual trash spend now, and I'm far better able to optimize our waste streams down than I was before. But I also recognize this isn't something that will scale nearly as easily as I can do it.
It's available upon request only.
I agree it makes no sense to tax unrealized gains. however, receiving stock itself is a gain.

If I gifted you 1000 shares of Apple today, that would be a gain for you. It would also be the basis cost for any future sale.

Similarly, if I payed you with 10kg of gold, or a house, or land, it makes sense to tax that transfer event, not just if you sell for cash.

In short, it makes sense to test asset transfers, but not appreciation while you hold it.

I do agree with a tax deferment for asset transfers where there is no resale market like pre IPO stocks or options. Post IPO is a different story.
You say that as if it were a bad thing. I'd rather a good entertainment system than the shite that Toyota puts the bare minimum effort into.
It is not only about russians using apps but russian game developers not profiting example my.games small branch owned by vk made 10m $ profit only last ( 7 mil ios 3 android) month majority of vk is owned by gasprom therefore that way money is still flowing even though. It doesnt matter that russians dont have option ti do purchases in app, people world wide buy stuff in game and money is flowing to russia other ways.
Review of The Great Firewall of China (2019)
I suspect that my (passive) valuation of entertainment, given the culture that I grew up in, partly stems from growing up with ad subsidized radio. It feels like music is almost a public service, but for buying a receiver, not choosing the playlist, and switching stations when the ads come on. I suspect the availability of a public library inclulcated similar expectations in me. Eventually, I paid for movies and songs. But, youtube and other internet content hosts fit most in that mode whereby I can eat from the buffet to my limit, provided I bat away the promotional posters as I sit down.
Aren't background checks that include verification of past employment and educational history the norm for North America-based businesses for candidates that have gotten to the on-boarding stage? I'd have thought it would be difficult for a fake candidate to get past those.
My second computer was an MC-10 bought on clearance. My route out and about on my bike usually took me to the local Radio Shack store where I'd spend an hour or two playing with the CoCo's, Tandys and such.

I currently have a Model 1 (part of my Holy Trinity) a 1000, an MC-10, a PC-1 and a CoCo 3... I really need to find another Model 100 (or 102)... had to sell the last one :(
Ok, it looks like you're right. When did that change? Because I can remember times in the past where I was specifically told not to go over 40 hours so as to avoid overtime and it doesn't seem that long ago.
> I don't particularly think it is, and perhaps it's healthier to have the employer/employee relationship or the internet creator/consumer remain at some distance

I definitely agree with that. Sorry if I side-tracked your point, because you are 100% correct.
I don't believe the digital age necessarily requires us to turn support into a commodity, though.

Beyond religion, we are much more individualist and busy mentally and emotionally. If it isn't one's immediate network being unavailable, odds are they themselves are. Neither of which is inherent to becoming more digital alone.

Like, do people even notice the advice we were given the last 2-3 decades? Of course we're more lonely collectively, it was practically a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Notably on iOS there's no good way to isolate unsafe native libraries from the rest of your app without violating app store policies, because Apple enforces apps to be single process and doesn't allow use of its own sandboxing apis.
It’s not the compatibility which is the problem, but the 3 bugs/line that bash causes.
Thanks for authoritatively clearing that up for us all, z7.
Maybe, but I think it's probably more related creating a larger Workers ecosystem.

Right now, you can't use most NPM modules on CF Workers since this is a custom runtime which is also pretty barebones (probably by design).

Deno in comparison offers a rich standard library which solves plenty, but they are also working on a compat layer for Node modules. And the Deno ecosystem is also growing, probably because you can run it anywhere.
Good point. Being a creator is a tough path, but it's probably way safer and easier than trying to make it in Hollywood.
It may be semantics, but even by law a murder is different based on person's motivation.

If John kills Jane because she is black it is different than killing her by reckless driving.
In this war civilians are getting killed because of disregard for human lifes while trying to kill the military, not intentionally because of the group they belong to.

I am not trying to say they are not killing people, it's the intention that I am questining. How can it be a genocide of Ukranians if Putin is killing a bunch of Russians that live there as well? And if there are many Ukranians in Russia's military doing the same thing.
We had pretty much the exact same thing happen earlier this year. Our team is remote. The guy I interviewed with on of our team members was an excellent hire. The guy that showed up online the first day was having all sorts of connectivity issues. And his communication was completely different.

We got suspicious pretty quick and eventually forced the guy we hired into a call and confronted him about it. His excuse was that it was his roommate online because he had some unexpected errand or something that morning.

The candidate didn't even come to us from one of the big faceless recruiters, but from one we've worked with in the past who's provided several of our current team members.

It's the first instance of that happening since we've gone remote, so I foresee us doing some more verification day 1, etc. for future hires.

And a few years ago, after we were acquired by a large enterprise company, we had several instances of the big contracting firms sending us different people than who we interviewed, or even catching the interviewee being a stand-in for someone else on their computer doing the work, etc. And this was prior to us being remote, so we'd get completely different people showing up in our office back then, etc. Our process at that time was to basically reinterview as soon as they stepped through the door, and then usually walk them right back out. Eventually, we were able work around having to hire from those firms.

That's PR. Germany is one of the big weapons suppliers. For some reason we don't want to ship tanks, which the Ukrainians really want (I've read it's because our government is terribly afraid of German-built tanks rolling into Russia, which would give the populace there a visceral reaction).

But everything smaller than a tank, including lots of hardware that proved extremely valuable in this war, is being shipped.
Donating itself is also fraught, however. Very few people are going to want a 20-year-old pulp book, soiled magazine, out-of-date manual, etc. Librarians commonly have to curate their collections which includes throwing out a ton of books, often donated books. Clothing is also often stained, holey, or dirty. While clothing can be repurposed to cleaning rags I suppose, I don't know if one can easily repurpose books.

There have been three explosions in two different pipelines, North Stream 1 (the older one, which was in normal use until earlier this year) and North Stream 2 (the new one, which was pressurized but never delivered gas commercially).

My friend, who is still earning a 200K salary 9 months later. He got terrible initial reviews, but they kept him.
A bit of both.

The long-term vision is to move (some portion of) economic activity onto a globally accessible stablecoin. We think this has potential to reduce friction in international finance & commerce, which will grow the economic pie. (The fact that it's actually still pretty hard to venmo someone from the US to Canada, or move dollars out of Argentina, creates a lot of deadweight loss and opportunities for rent-seeking.)

But ultimately Glo is redistributive. In the near-term, putting money into Glo is like putting money into a T-bill-linked savings account, except someone else gets the yield.

Hope that helps, happy to keep chatting, etc.
This was my immediate reaction too. Would make my whole week.

I had to review a number of developer resumes from a similar site back in 2020. Reading through them absolutely set off my "this is a fake person" detector. The resumes had similar formats, they all seemed to point to a real person, but there was a lingering sense of similarity between them which was too much to account for. I though it might have been because the site provided a way to create resumes and they were all choosing from some common set of options or something like that. However, reading this account makes me think that a scam like this is an equally likely explanation.
Yeah relevant because well... things certainly aren't better now.

I agree. More importantly, IMO, is a vast majority of people need a place to actually dissect and confront the issue. A lot of safe, effective coping mechanisms naturally come about when you actually understand what's wrong. A common symptom of mental illness, especially the more prevalent ones like depression and anxiety, is a lack of insight.

When people are left to deal with these issues alone, the instinctual thing to do is to suppress it rather than confront and actually manage it. I think that distinction between motivations is what causes unhealthy coping mechanisms, like seeking drugs, to be the first pursuit of people suffering from these issues.

Finding someone to talk to encourages one to actually evaluate and understand what the issue is simply by trying to explain it to someone else. This can be done with anyone you trust. Although, as you say, it's certainly not as effective as someone with training and experience that can keep the expression going in the right direction, I'd posit it's much more effective than trying to do it alone because the approach just tends to be circumstantially different.
Is HR allowed to ask the "right questions", other than "Did N. work there, and when?" I'm not aware of HR departments willing to ask anything else.
> It seems to be that, in a collaboration between three graduate students, some background data which was foundational to the interpretation of other findings may have been fabricated.

This is a gross misinterpretation. The authors were forthcoming that they used a model of the background conditions instead of direct measurements, as is standard practice for this type of experiment, and they stand by their results.

I could have posted this comment verbatim! (Except mine was a TX.) I was poor growing up and couldn't afford a computer and it changed everything when I got the Tandy. My mother was a hairdresser. She got to talking to one of her clients about me and, long story short, her client gave me the Tandy along with a bunch of manuals and programming books. She also came to our apartment and got me started on it. Even showed me the internals. I owe a great deal to that woman!
What about climbing gyms, run clubs, book clubs, gardening clubs, bars/trivia, etc? If you're near a city, almost any of these will be an option. And if you're not, a high percentage of those people are probably still going to church. It seems there are still a lot of opportunities out there for regular communion with others.

You are missing the "I can legally give your campaign a lot of money and it's called a campaign donation". There's a per person limit, but you can get all the execs at a company to give, you can bundle money together. Plus the "I have hidden/dark money, and I can support you via buying campaign ads to support you - or go against you if you don't do what I want".
> Why would I change the oil in my car when it's $40 to get it changed at the shop?

Because you like your car...

Every decade or so, I try a fast oil change place, usually when I'm in a hurry, and it sells me on changing my own oil for the next decade, because it's either obscenely overpriced, they screw up my car somehow, or both.

Last time I took vehicles in for oil changes, it cost nearly $200 for my truck (I know it takes a lot of oil, but ffs...), and for the car, they didn't get the airbox back together properly, so I had a nice post-air-filter leak. They even left the bolt they couldn't get lined up sitting in the windshield air inlet tray - because they'd not lined the filter box up right. And, they forgot a crush washer on the drain plug, so I had a dinner plate sized oil puddle under the car in the morning. Sorry, I see no point in paying someone to screw my vehicles up like that.
Yeah, same for me. but there's gotta be a better way I think.

What is the radius of a circle that has a circumference of 1 (as proposed in TFA)? It is 0.5/PI == ~0.15915, which means you are just moving the "problem" elsewhere. I am sure there's a lot of math that is simpler with radius being 1.0 (with some input in radians) vs an input in "turns" and having to deal with a 0.15915 radius.

Yes, agree turns would be so much nicer for many use cases, but I'd like to see which operations it makes worse first :)

If indeed almost every hardware/library implementation of `sin` would lose a multiply by an arbitrary constant by choosing a new input scale, that would convince me too, as long as it was the same scale for all.

Hi, hope you're doing well.

We are looking for a professional interviewee. I'm not sure if you've heard similar thing somewhere. We are a talented developer group specialized in web and mobile software development. We have partnerships with US people and deliver our service to clients by pretending to be US developers. And we share profits with them. Our partners are satisfied with this business model.

Everything is perfect except on one thing. It's just the interview with clients. Normally in the interviews, the clients ask us some technical questions to see if we are able to deliver the service they expect. Because we are not native speakers, we are suffering from taking the interviews and many clients are passing by us even though they can get what they want. So we want a native interviewee and hope you are interested in this model.

Please let me know if you're interested in further discussion. Thank you!
