People can broaden the scope without leveling. The purpose of leveling is very frequently to give people hoops to jump through, especially at larger companies. Its purpose is another form of retention.
I have no idea, but he said they were super easy about it - no worries, just send the old one in and we'll send you a new one, free.

I'm not surprised. I post there sometimes for professional reasons, but I never browse or interact with anyone anymore.

Reasons:

- increasingly irrelevant content. Most of my feed is garbage from people I don't follow, or want to

- trash UX. Way too many distractions, sidebars, notifications, etc.

- pervasive toxicity

If Musk gets them, they'll probably be 4chan within a year, and I doubt they'll have much of a future from there.

It's sad. They were, at one point, a good community.
I don't actually disagree with you, I don't like the limits on individual investment. It's a weird mashup of paternalism and protectionism by large banks that want to capture startup value.

But in practice I do not believe that even in a highly deregulated investment environment SpaceX would open itself up to retail investment right now.

You can retake the test as many times as you want. Some schools average them, others will take the highest. The whole point of creating the test(s) in the first place were to deal with variability of GPA's between schools, so it's a bit useless to say "just adjust GPA's between schools instead".

In the US now we have federal school testing to try and normalize schools better. But before that many schools were graduate students that were illiterate (actually some still are, but I hope it's gotten better..). The US is 10x the population of Canada so image the difficulty for a liberal arts school in the northeast looking at a student from some rural 500-person school they've never heard of from the southwest.
People develop software for themselves and package it for others. What's wrong on it?
California spends about twice as much per student today (inflation adjusted) as it did before Prop 13 passed, so it doesn't track that Prop 13, or underfunding, is the cause of the poor performance.
The Vedantic perspective is that Consciousness is not understandable in a “subject-object” manner because it is the ultimate subject of all understandings which are objects appearing in Consciousness.

Itself, it cannot be objectified and understood thus.

There is a way of “knowing” it (Enlightenment) but this does not occur in the subject-object mode and thus this knowledge is not transferrable through language or symbols.
Good initiative, but can I know did passkeys bypass the requirements of passwords.
PulseAudio

I still have to fight with it all the time, and cannot get it to work as expected.
And that's with the most standard use cases:

- System always getting muted after unlock/reboot (for some reason)

- Playing sounds on the speaker despite jack headphones being connected (I have to manually switch the output)

- If I unmute the sound (that wrongly got automatically muted) with my earphones connected, it starts loudly playing my music on speakers at maximum volume.

- UI not reflecting the actual situation (it shows muted speakers despite playing stuff on it for example)
Most stick listed companies have similar actions underway or will do so shortly. The market will demand it. A good thing in general however there will be green washing...

I found that to be the case a lot more during covid. Hilton and other chains had these amazing deals where if you found something cheaper they’d match plus knock 30% off or whatever. It was almost a certainty that was the case so I was getting good deals on rooms.

That guarantee still exists but I find the prices are now usually the same for those mega chains.

> i.e. Chromebooks OK

I suggest picking a machine from https://mrchromebox.tech/#devices , filtered to the ones that support the full "UEFI Firmware". Conveniently, this also lists the needed method to make the firmware r/w if you care about that. Of course, this depends on you considering MrChromebox non-sketchy, but he is AFAIK reputable and if you prefer all the source is on GitHub.

Oh, and annoyingly I suggest that you avoid ARM Chromebooks; firmware support and OS options aren't there (yet, I dearly hope).

This picture is a little old now but it should get across the point of why libaom isn't a meaningful speed test.

It can be set to go faster, but the default speed is only one notch faster than on this chart.
100% agree. You can also ask a hotel for free upgrades when you check in because you booked directly. Doesn’t always work but once in a while it does.
It's not as small as your EeePC, but I very much enjoy my PineBook Pro [1]. I'm running Manjaro Plasma KDE on mine, and I can do just about all I want, dev wise on it: docker, ddev, vscode, firefox, chromium, LibreOffice, etc. It's about as powerful as a mid-tier Chromebook.

I'm actually sick of all of these intermediaries taking money but when something goes wrong they're like: oh we're just the middle man.

> Blame the public

In business, the customer pays, so the customer is always right. Similarly, in democracy, government is of by and for the people, so the public is always right. So no, don't blame the public, never blame the public, if you blame the public you deny the premise of democracy.

(Unless you don't support democracy of course, which is a legitimate position to take but you should at least acknowledge that that is what you are doing)
The legal reasoning doesn’t need to go beyond the first line, which I believe is now scientific and popular consensus?

“Being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting Covid-19.”
What debate?

The test scores are useful. That's the point. There's nothing to debate.
As a lazy non-ML simpleton, is there a simple explanation for it's usage?

We have some evidence from MIT that it is a bad idea to drop testing.

Nice idea though what happens is you manage to quickly recruit the person and then a month later the other job that they’ve been slowly recruited on, eventuates and they walk off, leaving you worse off than if you never hired them.

Personally I just try to find people that have already experienced years of pain of big companies and rejoice in the freedom most startups offers.
> I view "test optional" as a signaling exercise. In brief, how closely can you read the instructions and infer what you are not being told?

Sorry, what does that mean - who is the "you" in that sentence, and what are they inferring?

It sounds like what you mean is that that your school went test optional (ostensibly to help level the playing field), but those who are lucky or privileged enough to have the secret decoder ring can decipher the instructions and find the key to optimizing their chances of admission. If so (as someone who grew up with immigrant parents who were educated but definitely would not have had the awareness to navigate this), that seems really fucked up...
I don’t understand the second point. That’s still 2.5x most companies. That sounds great.

If you do find a bank that lets you at least query balances and transaction history yourself, I would love to hear about it! Forget about actually initiating any transfers, I just don't want to type numbers into a spreadsheet by hand like a god damn troglodyte.

Again, though, if creating new, better widgets requires calculus, student A may not have what it takes, but student B almost certainly can't do it.

Some jobs require a creativity, a spark, a something that you can't test for. But they also require some solid skills, and those skills are testable.
You don’t have to migrate to the “fastest and the greatest” right away. Do it when you feel the need for it or starting something new.
I wonder if this is related to the idea of persistent non-symbolic experience[1]. Where the latter is the conscious perception of the "precognitive carousel" and its consequences.

I remember taking a graduate level networking course at NYU in the early 1990s. The instructor was an IBM consultant. We studied token ring, FDDI, SNA, HDLC/SDLC and several other commercial products.

One evening, I raised my hand and asked when we were going to study TCP/IP.

He simply quipped, "TCP/IP is not a real networking protocol."

So I wouldn't say that universities are always behind the curve :)
Wouldn't short URLs work around your problem? (Yes, it's the iPhone's fault, but you don't have any chance of getting that fixed.)
All of that money is long spent. FRED has data on it. Inflation continues unbaked.

Neutral Moresnet, Celtic Medeival Ireland under Brehon Law, Pre-Communist Somalia under Xeer Law, Medeival Iceland under Godhordh Law, and many pockets of modern society peacefully cooperating without centralized supervision.
IMO, The whole thing behind Rome is that it will have one tool to do everything (lint, prettify, minify, build etc), so every part in pipeline remains in sync. Using other tools for parts of it(build etc) would be against the philosophy
The trend is concerning, and this is graded on a curve. If you want to exceptional valuations you need exceptional numbers (or exceptional sentiment).
In Cleveland we still call him the bus driver
They also weight schools differently. Shitty high schools + good scores let you avoid all of those cello lessons.
Thanks. My interest is piqued now for sure.
> pledges action on steps to enhance Jewish life on campus

It seems Jewish life is already thriving on campus - despite being just ~2% of US population, they are 7/11% of Stanford's undergraduate/graduate students [1]. To put that into perspective, and excluding from analysis the 10% international students, they are 3.9x over-represented among non-international undergraduates, relative to their US population.

In contrast, white (including Jewish) undergraduates are only 32.6% of undergraduates, but 57.8% of US population [3]. Meaning non-Jewish whites are 25.6% of undergraduates, making them 0.49x under-represented.

So despite a Jewish person having a 7.9x greater chance of getting into Stanford than a non-Jewish white, Stanford's president is apologizing that this disparity isn't even greater.

The Health Commissioner can _quarantine_ someone, for a specified period of time, yes. But that’s not what happened. Instead the Commissioner apparently decided that these people, who were not sick, couldn’t be allowed to work and earn their living. But they could still go to grocery stores and baseball games, because those places aren’t important.

Besides, you cannot go by the overall mission of some government agency to decide what they are allowed or not allowed to do. The legislature has delegated specific authority to each agency to take specific actions. An agency, no matter how well–meaning they are, is not allowed to take any action not on their list.
All the 200+ student classes would certainly hurt them a lot though since that's a big chunk of some rankings.
More good jobs for everyone.

Largely, in my adult life, I've seen management and shareholders pots grow, and labor stay the same.

When the pie grows everyone ought to get a little bigger piece of it.

Meanwhile, rent, price of a used or new car, college education, homeownership and medical costs have grown unabated - and generally faster than inflation.
I don't think interruptions are a problem with satellite TV. The satellites are in geosynchronous orbit (unlike Starlink in low-earth-orbit). As long as your view is not blocked or impeded by bad weather you will never see an interruption. Source: worked on satellite TV set top boxes (also had DirecTV for awhile).
You're right. I should give it another try.

He's fulfilled many promises, too many to list. Start with the world's first full-flow rocket engine. Outside of China, maybe, I think it's true to say that every other EV company is further behind on its promises, often due to battery problems, but sometimes software, etc.

If you've ever built anything, you know the end of the tunnel ain't all that predictable.

Yes, he is too optimistic, people who get things done first usually are; but he lands on his feet, with it done. The optimism lends his companies urgency and that gives us advances faster. If you get fooled every time, that's you.
As a recent example, we went to an animated film and could see lots of artifacts on the image. It wasn’t the theater’s fault. But also, picture quality isn’t just a matter of source. I can change the output of my TV to whatever I want. The theater gives me the combination of whatever the staff set up plus the file from the studio.
You'll find no argument from me there, property based testing has been a real game changer for me. I imagine it would have a fraction of the value without being able to leverage the type system to a great degree.
Do you perform background checks? What do you do when criminal charges show up? What if they're mundane like possession of marijuana?

Screening people is fine, but the signal here is incredibly weak -- so weak I wouldn't even look back that far. It's one thing if a person has never held a job for more than three months in ten years. Sure, lots of red flags. But the example here is not remotely noteworthy.

If I was the hiring manager skimming this resume I'd assume they were either in a bad place in life (I've lived in situations which made work incredibly difficult) or were perhaps going through something (illness, addiction (which is an illness)) or perhaps just ended up at a few consecutive shitty gigs, which statistically speaking is incredibly likely: most jobs are shitty. I wouldn't even give this a second thought.

The hiring process is all about gathering signal. Will this person be a good fit? Will they succeed? The things you are focusing on do not indicate in any way those things. If you disagree, then you are deeply misguided and I would run, very quickly, away from anything resembling employment at your company.
ffmpeg h265 implementation lacks support for alpha channel, and that is really important.
Nice rant, but as per the ruling [1], I believe it is now scientific and popular concensus that the vaccine barely moves the needle on transmission if at all. At that point, any logic behind mandates vaccinations collapses.

I can reply again

The government that exists solely because I work and pay taxes has no ethical basis for telling me how I can invest my money.

To suggest otherwise is to let the mask slip and admit they are not working in my (or your) interest.

The part you’re missing is if elon rejected my $100k 3+ years ago then OK, fine. That would suck for me, but that’s his choice etc. I can bitch to him.

Instead I have a maternal nanny state that employs exclusively 70IQ morons telling me what I can and can’t do with the money they don’t steal from me. There is no Jack Bauer running the show, it’s your kindergarten teacher with NSA powers.

Explain to me, in detail, why I would continue to work for a system like that? Why would I not try to leave such a system as soon as I am able?
Creating a DAO for this sounds _incredibly_ risky to me. One tiny flaw in the design of that organization and the project could be destroyed by people gaming the DAO rules for profit.
Security researchers at Bishop Fox reported two vulnerabilities in Jira Align that allowed users to access the administrator area to attack Atlassian’s services. As per the report, the vulnerabilities existed within the software company’s cloud development platform and could put other cloud apps at risk.
I know someone who works for IBM, his healthcare costs more in real dollars than it did when he hired on, he gets at best infrequent raises and there's no more pension plan.
Not only is it often cheaper to book directly through the hotel, they often upgrade you to a nicer suite at least here in Aus whenever I've done that.

My grandfather taught me a decade ago (more even) to use Wotif (now Expedia) and similar to find places, then call directly. For someone who definitely did not grow up with this sort of tech, he was quite excellent at working the boundaries of tech and people to get good results.

The arguments against tests, from SAT to civil service exams is that effective tests correlate to IQ. IQ=racist, because we say so, so tests=bad.
An easier all be it less ethical way to remove your info is just file a dmca takedown request with google. They are required to and will automatically take down the reported page.

> that your body chooses what to do, then informs your brain, and your consciousness convinces itself that has decided to do what the body is about to do on its own.

More like your subconscious is making decisions, talking with your mouth, moving your hands, etc... Then you have your consciousness (your "real" self). The subconscious makes him feel and think like he is in control so he (you, your "real" self) doesn't freak out.

But he (the subconscious guy) has the real power and control.
I’m sure they will be red but MSFT has PE of ~25 which is pretty boring for a “growth” tech stock. AMZN has a PE of >100 and is one of the few remaining outliers among big tech companies. The rest are much closer though not exactly equal to boring blue chip PE ratios.
Good luck with it.

And if you:

- work for a company that uses open source, look for excuses to support it (support contract, etc. I even got good value out of some.)

- are an open source project that takes donations: don't get greedy. Two projects I went out of my way to support because they were open source shortly afterwards started "experimenting with models".
This proposed scheme lacks individual publishing identities, which are desirable. The goal here isn't just to churn out random signatures; it's to be able to associate specific identities (such as a person, GitHub repository, or specific CI workflow) with the production of an artifact.

It also requires the user to trust the signer to do proper secret generation, which is weakens the scheme. With Sigstore, the entire CA and CT infrastructure can fail or be compromised, but the certificates (and the ephemeral keys that they bind to) remain sound. That too is desirable, which is why the TLS PKI ecosystem is the way it is.

Edit: To be clear, the PGP equivalent for your scheme would be "trust Joe Public to sign for everyone on PyPI, he's reliable." If you can see why that doesn't work, you should also be able to see why your alternative to Sigstore won't work.
Im using rollup now over webpack. The landscape of js is starting to diverge again so rollup isn't exactly solid ground for me, I'm waiting for the next big migration to get swept up with. Maybe turbopack is it, maybe not. From what I'm gathering turbopack is like webpack only faster.. that's ok but I'm not exactly a fan of the whole webpack system with its loaders, plugins etc and arcane bugs and fixes.
I've been donating to Gitea for years (on their Open Collective [1]) but if they start with this cryptocurrency/blockchain stuff, I am out. I am trying to fund development, not invest unstable currency technology.

When you go to the site you get a familiar cookie consent popup. What I don't understand is how are they allowed to have certain tracking and advertising cookies "always active" and un-rejectable. "technically deliver ads", "link different devices", "match and combine offline data sources" seem like exactly the cookies most people DON'T want. These are hidden "below the fold" of the scrollable popup btw, underneath several off-by-default options leading you to believe the remaining options are togglable and also off-by-default.
