> What about signaling of not just acquired knowledge, but the ability to apply it in a meaningful way?

You survived the 3-5 year ordeal and got your BSc or MSc, this implies you can apply some knowledge in some way.

> in other words - education and what it measures (grades) may or may not correlate with a successful person.

The signal universities provide is not perfect, or even very strongly correlated with anyone's ability to excel in a specific domain. But it is somewhat positively correlated, which means using it as employment filter will weed out more bad than good candidates, which makes hiring cheaper and less risky. In other words: however bad the correlation is, it's already good enough to be useful.

> is there a way to measure or predict if a person is or will be successful?

I worry this is an anti-inductive problem: i.e. if you can measure the right factors and predict if a person will be successful accurately enough, you can make people successful (look at it as closed-loop control problem) - but it's most likely cheaper to just make them seem successful instead. The measure becomes a target, and so eventually will cease to become a good measure.

(In a sense, BSc and MSc titles are suffering from just that. They're no longer anywhere as strong a signal than they were 50 years ago.)

> And this isn't just for hiring, it is also part of a good feedback loop for helping people get an education.

Unfortunately, the two goals - teaching for economic prospects, and educating for a rich and successful life in a more general sense - are at odds with each other.
Fukushima, Kyshtym… those are the other bad ones.
Hence "reminds me". Indeed they aren't the same, but I disagree that they're unrelated. I'd recommend getting past the article and book titles to understand how these jobs come to be in the first place.
That's a generic case. Parent is describing a specific case in which prisoners determine they have a 95% chance they will be convicted. Given such a case, parent's argument follows logically. How many cases the Fed prosecutes or convicts is irrelevant to the scenario.
A lot of people treat printable recovery codes as something that should be protected, locked in a safe, etc. As a result they don't bother to use them as it seems like too much effort to secure them.

Please do not treat them this way. They do not grant access to your account. Print many copies of your recovery codes and spread them around. Wallet, home, car, parents' house, etc. It doesn't matter if they get stolen or whatever, again they don't grant access to your account, and they can be revoked at any time.

I know that educating people about this is not a scalable solution to the problem of people getting locked out of their accounts. But maybe it could help you, reader of this comment, if you someday need recovery codes.

I didn't read the full legal contract that came with my phone, but I assume it enumerates (in soporific detail) many of the ways in which I don't control my device. The price of convenience is a real doozy!
That's pretty hard core. Any resources you recommend to understand the steps involved? Maybe a write-up by yourself?
Interesting, thanks for the perspective. Myself, I treat MDADM/ZFS RAID failure more of a headache than RAID cards. As I mentioned earlier, RAID cards allow for easy hot-swap without any OS intervention. I am always nervous when I have to replace drives out of a ZFS pool - mainly because I forget the exact commands that need to be run (in order) for a successful swap. With hardware RAID - no commands :-)

Thus far, we don't have any high-density NVMe servers so I can't really test high-end servers. My experience is limited to 8x SSDs or 16x spinning drives in our arrays.

Finally, I avoided ZFS for a long time as well. Early on (OpenZFS 0.6, 0.7, etc), I spent an enormous amount of time trying to tweak/tune the system just to get on par with our HW RAID devices. No matter what I did, I simply could not get the server (typical Linux NFS NAS) to get any decent performance. In fact, I clearly remember HW RAID hitting 1.8GB/sec on our SSDs while OpenZFS could only get around 400MB/sec. Only until OpenZFS 2.1 mark did I see any real performance gains.

...Speaking of ZFS... I recently worked on a project to replace XFS with ZFS for Postgresql servers. I learned a lot about OpenZFS - specifically the memory latency when using compression. I had a lengthy discussion with the OpenZFS "gang" (https://zfsonlinux.topicbox.com/groups/zfs-discuss/T5122ffd3...) to identify some large latency numbers. Turns out, you need to disable ARC compression and "ADB Scatter Enabled" otherwise you will definitely hit some performance issues. Take a look at that thread - especially the very end where I publish some tuning suggestions. It was a fun learning exercise :-)
Seems like there'd be a big difference between a train with a thousand tons of carriages pushing it along (ie. Not Going To Stop) and a car that will stop, necessitating a crumple zone to drag that stop over the longest possible period.
The recovery user flow, at the end of the day, should provide an option for identity proofing through a service that can consume a government provided identity credential. Login.gov, Stripe Identity, ID.me, whatever, something that can attest that you are you when provided a sanctioned credential.

You should be given the option to opt out of this, have your data E2E encrypted, and if you lose your creds your data loss is on you. But for everyone else, they can then provide ID and get their digital identity and data back (at a very low cost to the service provider, proofing is usually $1-2/request in bulk; if you want to charge the user that cost, that’s palatable).

I think a part of the problem is that the US doesn't have a vast and widespread ecosystem of cheap, relatively simple, slightly rugged android phones like a developing nation market does.

Go look at what you can buy for an Android phone if you exchange 100 USD to rupees in Rawalpindi Pakistan for instance.

Now imagine you drop your phone or screw up its hardware somehow and want to get it repaired, you can probably fix it at a local repair shop (some 1-man operation in a tiny retail stall) for $20-30 max with basic hand tools. Those guys might have a collection of pieces of the same model phone you have, or the ability to take 4 dead phones and mix/match pieces to make 2 working ones out of them and then re-sell them, etc.
In this article, we will describe what MuLogin Anti-detect Browser is.

MuLogin can log in to manage multiple accounts, allowing you to create virtual browser profiles to disguise your computer. When using MuLogin, you only need one computer instead of using many physical devices, with MuLogin you can emulate different physical devices.

With MuLogin's anti-detect browser, you can create separate browser environments. This makes it impossible for websites to get your real device fingerprint while you are online. The website will only be able to read the parameters of the virtual browser profile you create. In addition, each browser file's cookies, local storage, and other cache files will be completely isolated and browser profiles will not be able to leak information to each other.

MuLogin Anti-detect Browser provides browser fingerprinting protection. Unlike regular browser fingerprint protectors, which protect your browser fingerprints by preventing websites from reading them, MuLogin Anti-detect Browser is not the same as a regular browser fingerprint protector. With MuLogin you can create a different computer fingerprint to replace the original one. Websites are not prevented from reading your fingerprint, and when they do read your device's fingerprint, they do not read your real detailed information.

With the help of API, any repetitive tasks can be automated in MuLogin. You can automate MuLogin with a range of LocalAPI or tool libraries like Selenium, Puppeteer, etc.

MuLogin supports teamwork, and the master account can manage multiple sub-accounts, each of which operates independently. Users can easily control team members' access to browser profiles through the share or transfer profile feature. Data is synchronized with the cloud in real-time, and all operations can be done in the same environment, avoiding any risk and hassle and effectively enhancing work efficiency!
New users can contact customer service to receive a three-day trial!

Always put yourself in 'the other guys' shoes. Imagine you are an editor and, for the sake of argument, you have a singular goal: Make somebody who is decidedly unpopular, almost certainly a criminal, and just stole or otherwise cost millions of people billions of dollars, seem like 'not such a bad guy.' And since you're a smart speaker, your target demographic is not the people who would actively defend him or passively defer to positive messaging, because obviously they already think he's not such a bad guy, but the people who would actively condemn him.

By contrast imagine your motivation is to remain impartial, to say nothing of critical given your long-standing antagonism of billionaires and crypto, and here you have a billionaire player in crypto. Would you do things like press him on the discovered backdoors, where exactly the money went, illegalities of misappropriation, etc? Or would you simply take hand-waving deflectionary non-answers at face value, let alone publish them? Would you invite him to come speak alongside world leaders at an event you are hosting?

I think this might be the confusion between the two parties in this discussion. When people say 'puff piece', they don't just mean that they're engaged in mindless cheer-leading, but rather that they're taking a turd and instead of reporting on a turd, they're reporting on a diamond in the process of being made, while remaining aware of what the reader is going to see when they look at that 'diamond in the making.'

An Analysis of Caffeine in Coffee
the most interesting bit for me was that by outsourcing civil society to foreign "mercenaries", it was essentially easier for the regime to maintain power.

> And that pattern is completely normal in these states. It’s easy to think of it as kind of mercenary in some sense. And that’s not, I think, a false analogy. And it creates a variety of different sorts of conflicts in a sense but also advantages because one of the things that this means is that you don’t get the buildup in many of the Gulf states of civil society in the form that we understand it. You don’t get the uppity lawyers, the difficult journalists. That is contained by the fact that the vast majority of the people in those kinds of positions don’t have citizenship rights. So for the point of view of the stability of the regime, it actually has an upside. You might say they are less loyal, but they’re also more disposable. This is part of the mercenary model, and we should take the mercenary analogy seriously because it’s really in the military that is most pronounced.
If governments didn't regulate who can work based on papers acquired, we would be done with this clown system of university and public school.
And beware it's not that we have discovered the better way yet, we have just discovered that our way is inefficient and brings many wrong conclusions in science, goverments forbid us from developing new systems do we can improve.
Technology made us find we are wrong, but investigating how to fix it require resources and freedom and these are seized by goverments
I believe you can accomplish this with partitioning the disks with sizes that match the smallest disk too for zfs. You still have all the same reliability issues though and there's probably some kimd of performance hit too. Though yoy could then likely set copies=2 or something to add some redundancy to bad sectors at least and get a little better there than the linear mapping with dm or lvm2 on linux. You should the. Also be able to grow the array but like the linear mapping it's going to be unbalanced as to where free space is.

My personal preference in this kind of situation is to still just use lvm2 to jbod the disks together if I;m fine with the risks of losing it all anyway, and just setup a good backup strategy. More because I'm familiar with it and all the tools than other setups. I think zfs might give me more early warning signs of a disk with an issue but the performance hit isn't always worth it to me there. I've got an 8tb raid0 nvme ssd array (4x2tb) setup to give me some blazing fast local storage for a few key VMs thst I just backup daily to the zfs storage. I can get 7.5GB/s reads and 6.7GB/s writes to that array doing that and using an lvm-thin pool so I can nicely snapshot during backups.

1. Would directly be a free speech issue
2. Doesn't involve the same kind of externalities
3. Doesn't involve a narrow range of powerful industries
4. The primary thing I hear from experts isn't mandating how farmers do things, but rather advocating for regulations on the effects of ag activity.

Now, if you wanted to start narrowing it down based on security, safety, and market cap you might get closer, but it's still not a great analogy.

Point number 4 is a crucial one - I don't need to know what farming is like to think they shouldn't be given an exception to the point source regulations other industries have to comply with, when their tile lines are dumping nitrates into our waterways. It's especially galling given the sheer magnitude of direct and indirect subsidies that I'm helping to pay for, and the fact that we've been told for years that the voluntary nutrient reduction strategy will get farmers who "know the land best" to "do the right thing".

I'm done holding hands - this isn't a question of your friendly neighborhood farmer (I directly support several through CSA, and they're great). We're talking about heavy industry that we're already paying. We should demand more for the money, period.
Musk has strong opinions about the ongoing culture war. It’s probably a big reason he’s interested in Twitter. And the Republicans are largely aligned with him on many issues.

I personally think that the culture war is a more pressing threat than climate change, though I’m still concerned about how we treat the environment. I know many people with similar views. Perhaps Elon has similar views too.

There is a burn "fee" attached to each transaction and it exponentially grows with increased number of transaction you send. This means intended usage is cheap basically free. Spamming any relevant amount of transactions would cost thousands of dollar per second.

They are not targeting "common people". It also support multi-sign and key change so its quite flexible.
Oh, thank you! I always wondered if it had a name.
That's generally good advice but then it would have taken much longer to get to the point where the phone's charging circuitry could take over and the battery being near empty likely served to peg the voltage at something really low. Finally, those chargers are usually not capable of more than a few amps and given the internal resistance of the batteries at that point the bigger risk would be to fry the charger if it can't handle something suspiciously close to a short circuit.

If you're going to use a resistor use something like 100 Ohm, that way you will still be able to see some effect of your action before Christmas and if you have access to a volt meter connect it parallel to the battery to see what's going on. As for the 4.2V, that's a single cell, some phones/tablets will have a couple of those in series so you can't assume that you'll find anything up to 4.2V at the battery terminals, checking that should be your first stop before attempting any of this.
Can’t say I remember exactly. No particular experience other than a general knack for spotting loopholes like this.

If I remember correctly I had some vague knowledge that basically anyone can own an ATM and set the surcharge as they want. I probably looked into it as a passive income stream at some point (these things had a high growth phase some time ago). Then I think the first time I heard about ATM rebates was on an advert of some sort and the whole thing seemed obvious. So I looked into the fine print and it seemed to check out.

I don’t think this was ever a thing until online banks came around during Web 1.0 , traditional banks would charge you a fee for using out of network ATMs (which is still pretty standard), but the online banks resorted to offering surcharge rebates as a way to compete with brick and mortar banks. And also to overcome the obvious pushback of people wanting quick access to their cash. Then smaller banks started offering it as a way to compete with the national banks that have huge ATM networks.
IANAL so please correct me but here’s how I understand it: there are three levels of cooperation.

The informal one is basically just telling (some of) the truth during interrogation and agreeing to testify, where her lawyer gets to enter “she cooperated” as evidence during sentencing, but she might still get off scott free, or a judge might ignore the cooperation entirely if she’s found guilty. If SBF pleas guilty anyway, this cooperation is pretty much useless but carries the most credibility.

She can cooperate as part of a guilty plea [1] in which case the prosecutor provides the judge with a sentencing recommendation. The judge can still sentence her within the guidelines at his discretion, though usually the plea deal is on a smaller set of charges than the indictment so its a net win regardless and brings double jeopardy into play since it counts as a conviction.

The last kind is total immunity which sounds nice in theory but is more dangerous for both sides. She’d have to spill all of the beans on everything within the bounds of her immunity which will be broad. If she is ever caught in a lie or a deliberate omission, the immunity deal flies out the window and everything she said as part of the deal can be used against her at trial. Waiving one’s 5th amendment rights is usually a stipulation of immunity agreements - total honesty or guaranteed prison time.

It remains to be seen how much she is cooperating.

Edit: [1] turns out the DoJ has several different types of plea agreements and even a handy guide: https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/basic-gu...

I feel bad for the vendors ( Ampere, colo-hosts ) in this. It's a huge loss for the community that utilized it too, but there's a part of this that seems to resonate with my high-school dreams... I oogled the shiny big-iron racks in EWeek, and thought of the cool stuff I could do if I owned one of those dual Opteron boxes with so much RAM and all the gigs of storage (hundreds!)...

I'm glad nobody dropped tens of thousands of dollars of servers on me before I discovered the weaknesses in my dreams and that servers are the cheap part if you haven't solved for cooling, power, network, people and moving money around.

That just makes it even more likely you'll lose access. If you have 2fA, Google will just ask for your 2fa. If you don't have 2fa, Google will pick some random device you signed in on once ten years ago, and tell you that you can only ever log into your account again if it's from that device.
If I use the "forgot [my] username" function and enter my email address then I get a message in my inbox that says that I own the account in question. It's absolutely maddening.
The trick isn't to disable 2FA. It's to add a bunch of 2FA methods that don't rely on your cell phone: authenticator app, yubi keys, backup codes.
