If a certificate has been issued for a domain, and that domain doesn't show up in the certificate transparency logs, that's not something I'd cheer for: that issuer could just as well hand out certificates for your domain to others without you ever knowing about it.

Conversely, if a domain shows up in the CT logs, then there have been certificates issued for those domains, even if there exists a wildcard certificate that is valid for that domain. If that happens, check your settings, because there's probably something requesting certificates you're not aware of.

I use it constantly, never notice the dirtiness (dirty compared to what?), rarely have to deal with late trains and it moves a hell of a lot faster than cars a lot of the time. There's plenty of routes where I don't even bother looking at driving directions/Uber because I know that no car can possibly beat the train.

I'd guess you've lived in NY for a long time and have forgotten (or never had to suffer through) how bad public transit is in most US cities.
We present evidence in this report that Hans likely cheated online much more than his public
statements suggest. However, while Hans has had a record-setting and remarkable rise in rating
and strength, in our view there is a lack of concrete statistical evidence that he cheated in his game
with Magnus or in any other over-the-board (“OTB”)—i.e., in-person—games. We are presenting
our findings here and will cooperate with FIDE on any further investigation.

...

Despite the public speculation on these questions, in our view, there is no direct evidence that proves Hans
cheated at the September 4, 2022 game with Magnus, or proves that he has cheated in other OTB games
in the past.

Uh oh ... that doesn't look good for the defendants.
> not a single city has managed to make public transport better than a car.

Public transit is better than a car in a pretty large chunk of NYC.
As someone who lives part time in Barcelona and NYC, and who is from NYC, the people who end up "Needing a car" usually live deep in Queens, or Staten Island. For those who are lucky to have a place where there's parking, they use their vehicles to basically escape the city, not to drive around inside the city.

(I don't own a car in either city)

I've been looking at real-estate in Austin recently -- all those tiny 1950s houses are still around, and they are not cheap! So I don't think the main causal factor is everyone living in 3000 square foot McMansions.

Plus, technology has made us way more capable -- productivity has increased a lot since the '50s, but wages have not kept up.

Which makes me think it's more of an organizational / incentives kind of thing, rather than a pure amount of wealth kind of thing.

(Something similar going on to the way in an purely competitive market, profits tend to get driven to 0, but with wages and quality of life, perhaps?)

Showing that you worked somewhere and showing that you are working somewhere are two different things. A work email can be used to show that you are working somewhere. Proving that you did work somewhere (and for how long) would require... I don't know, an income tax statement? Like banks ask for — "proof of income."

IMHO, of the two options, the email is the more convenient and less invasive one — at the expense of not always being reachable by the time you need it.
I know this is a forum for tech bros who are generally well paid but responding to a story about a million dollar public toilet with "that's no big deal, I'm currently spending six figures on minor kitchen renovations" seems pretty out of touch to me. That is a ton of money to so many people.

Genuinely surprises me that there are people out there who think or have been persuaded the virus is of natural origin. The lab right next to the market was literally studying and experimenting with the exact same type of virus. How can a someone think that that's just a coincidence?

Add that to the fact that the funding for that research lab was approved by the same guy who become the de facto thought leader on the virus in the U.S., AND funded by the foundation of one of the most recognizable American billionaires. To put the cherry on top, even suggesting a synthetic origin resulted in bans on most social platforms!

This stuff is common sense...Occam's razor comes to mind. No wonder there were so many "conspiracy theories".

I'm not sure that the super blocks are that great. From my experience they basically turned the shops, residential, and commercial into cookie cutter outlets from the block. You didn't get the unique architecture that you see in other cities, everything HAS to fit in that block.

Additionally it felt like they were often far away from public transit that you needed. (The train stop may be 3 blocks away or better)

Correct. Middle management is pretty much all human management. AIs are miles miles away from being able to do that. AI make good middle management even more critical, by removing the non-human aspects of the job

It is not "just as much a problem in the US". China's treatment of dissidents is far, far worse than the US's. It's not even close. Every reputable political ranking organization, from Freedom House to The Economist, confirms this.
No people dont trust fauci because of his absurd sense of entitlement and authority on something that is not knowable literally. You cannot unequivocally state that there will be no 10 year side effects for something that has not existed for 10 years. It is logically and physically impossible to make that statement and say it is a fact. Fauci confuses his opinion with the word fact. his hubris is why people don’t trust him.
In the games industry we have a role called “tools programmer” which is a person who works on tooling to accelerate development, sometimes these can be extensions to the editor for a specialisation for a game (say, a tyre builder for a racing game) and sometimes they can be more broad (a distribution tool using libtorrent so that a new build of the game can be shipped worldwide very quickly).

There are people who might refer to you as a backend programmer (if the focus is services and daemons), or platform engineer (if the focus is developer velocity).

Largely it depends what your primary focus is.

You rhetorical question is... whether you should trust a company that already has both your full name, and a list of companies you've worked for (because you gave them both of those things to enable them to publicly display them to people searching for you)... with the information of what your corporate email address is?

They already know your corporate email address. They — and anyone else who sees the public profile they display for you(!) — has all the information required to deduce it. (And privately, they have all the info required to not even have to brute-force it — i.e. they already know some of your coworkers' corporate email addresses, and so the format of the username-part of yours.)

The only thing they don't know, is whether you — the person who claims to have worked for company X, but might not actually — can access that email address.

Is there something scary about them having that information, over-and-above what's scary about them being able to do what they can do with the information you explicitly did choose to give them?

Mechanical neural networks: Architected materials that learn behaviors
I would be interested to hear your opinion on the issue of perception.

The traditional work from office (WFO) model left very little room for "abnormal hours". WFH seems to have removed this issue, but I presume that a certain number of places will still want some amount of WFO due to the specifics of how their business is run (maybe they are in some institution that has that expectation, or there is a practical need for things to be done face-to-face).

For cases where some amount of WFO is needed, and an abnormal schedule is permitted, how does the company deal with the perception of "not working hard enough"?

Example: Dan comes in at 11 and leaves at 3, but then comes back at 6 and works for another 4 hours after picking his kids up from school. Some of the others in the office choose something closer to a 9-5 schedule, so they see Dan as "never being there".

I listened to an audiobook, "Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture", where one of the bosses (John Carmack) would essentially come in very late in the day, then work through the night. Most of the other employees would come in at 7 or 8AM, and head out at 6PM. John took that to mean that they were "always leaving early" and it gave off this impression that he was the only one taking things seriously (or something like that) because their schedules were so different.

What would be a good means to fight that sort of perception?

The only thing that would really make any sense would be to have some kind of giant whiteboard where you could see everyone's schedules, so you could figure out how many hours they were really working, but I could also see some people resenting that as some kind of "corporate shaming" or whatever. "Why does it matter when I'm here, as long as I get my work done!?"

It also does raise a certain amount of problems that come with needing to be able to communicate with people in an expedient manner. I'm not just talking meetings, but when you need to bounce something off someone for "How does this new widget work?" or "What do you think of this change I have planned?", it makes it a lot harder when you don't really have a clear guarantee of when they will be available to respond within a reasonable time frame. It just kind of slows the whole "flow" down.
I really doubt the per-unit hardware cost to install heated seats is anywhere near what they cost to option. it's not a complex technology, and plenty of cheap cars come with them standard. the manufacturer might even break even on the additional parts cost by only making one kind of seat. or they might make up for it by increasing the margin in some other option that you may or may not choose. who knows?
Sure, the actual malice standard. Seems like a tough sell on these facts, but might as well argue it and see what sticks.

I wouldn't be surprised if they use the video data provided by their users to build said social graph (face recognition), even including people who never used the app and just appear somewhere in the background.
El Prat is not Barcelona, and, still, you have train, metro, public and private bus as an option to arrive from downtown.

The idea that public transport has been designed for tourists is preposterous. The network of public transport extend far away from the touristic places.

Most tourist, and most expats in my experience (I'm thinking in those that don't bother to learn any local language), stay in three or four neighborhoods and think that that's the city and get their impressions from those few areas.

That's the reason you always hear the same histories: pickpockets (stealing from tourists), dirty (drunk tourist peeing in the streets), etc
I feel like that's a terrible false equivalency. One of the most liberal cities in the country making a bad decision over one toilet is not nearly enough to say "the whole concept of American government is too big, better reconsider my political party"
There's a cool approach called Transit Oriented Development[1]. You build a corridor of public-transit, and rezone the area around the corridor for higher density. Then it becomes economically viable for developers to build higher density in those areas and the urban infill can occur more organically.

> I expected the given example to produce assembly that respects short-circuiting, [...].

> Always assumed this was a requirement of the language, not "up to the compiler".

But the assembly does respect short-circuiting in C++!

The language specification tells you how to figure out the meaning of a program and it tells you which behaviors you are guaranteed to observe or not observe from the program [0]. This is completely abstract – we could ourselves carry out a C++ program in our heads, or with paper and pencil.

A compiler takes a program as input and writes code for some particular machine as output. If the guaranteed behaviors of the program occur when the machine runs the code, the compiler has conformed to the language specification [1]. The language specification says almost nothing about what this code has to look like.

Even if the language specification states that `b == 0` is not evaluated in `a == 0 || b == 0` when `a` is zero (and that this is required, regardless of the right-hand side), the corresponding assembly might always involve executing a `cmp b, 0` instruction, because what it means to "evaluate b == 0" has to do with the meaning of the C++ program, not the assembly.

[0] See the definition of "observable behavior" quoted in https://stackoverflow.com/a/15718279.

[1] See https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/as_if. This actually detracts somewhat from my point: talking about allowable transformations implies that there's some preferred way of initially compiling a program, some basic version that's then optimized. Even if compilers happen to work this way, the language specification doesn't.

We develop a banking app for families (parents and kids). 2 weeks ago we had to remove the possibility to pick phone contacts to invite other family members because Google claimed we were uploading contacts to our servers (which we did not).

We appealed and it did not work.

We then complied with their request and added to the privacy policy they we have access to the contacts and we might process them, and yet Google still rejected our app.

In the end we just decided to completely remove every code from the app that would allow us to read the contacts on the phone.

This has now made our app UX worse for the 60% of users who used this feature.

Also, mind that we of course offered the option to never grant this permission so nobody was ever forced to give access to their address book.
You can do a lot with residential IP addresses and home wifi/router connections, since very often a typical DHCP residential internet customer does not change IPs very much. Or at all. DHCP renewal request often comes back for the same IP.

Or only changes IPs to another address in a very small /24 to /26 sized block that's assigned to a router in one very specific geographic area.

Or you have a case like a bunch of customers all behind one cgnat exit point to the internet that also does not change in geographic scope/scale of how many cgnatted customers are behind it. As commonly seen on LTE networks.

Even if you have not granted GPS location permission to an app there is a very high likelihood that other people in the same small netblock have, which greatly improves a third party's correlation of netblock-to-lat/long.

a) keep a TO DO list, can be as simple as a todo.txt file or use an app. Prioritize things.

b) as others replied, keep work units small enough to be able to tick off multiple per day.

c) drown out that noise if in a shared office: Get some good headphones, search Youtube for ADHD music.

d) minimize distractions: Don't hesitate to mute your messenger and close your mail app for an hour or two to get that focus time.

e) Use that TO DO list to guide you through the day, amend it and re-prioritize as needed.

f) Try Pomodoro technique. (Disclaimer: I personally hardly ever use it, unless the work is truly horrible.)

g) Try to make your work day as comfortable as needed, don't be hard on yourself. Ideally you should like your way of work. If that's not possible, e.g. you have to clock out to do short breaks, look for a different employer.

h) Automate the hell out of your work day, be it with scripts, keyboard macros, inbound mail rules. Your life is too short to type and click the same things again and again.
One thing that could cause issues is the rising cost of paying back Dollar denominated debts. Like if I was a Japanese company that issued bonds denominated in Dollars. I have to use Yen* to buy those Dollars to pay it back. Now it takes many more Yen to buy a Dollar so the cost of servicing the bond has risen even though the principal amount remains the same.

* I just assume Yen is being used, it's not strictly required, you can use anything to acquire the Dollars, but the cost of acquiring them is rising.
