You can count me amongst that "we". I certainly don't like interviews that torture the candidate, and to be honest I think the bigger tech companies primarily use them as an to filter X-hundred candidates down to a more manageable number. But I do think find that assessing someone's ability can take a little more than a casual glance at their CV and a brief chat. If your interviewing strategy works for you - and it seems that it does - then more power to you.

Dont tell yourself that by selecting superior and inferior species you allow yourself to destroy, you're more than an animal yourself. You're still, like the rest of us, victim of your body. Find a way to abstract us away from our body.

That's not true. Just lookup when the low fat diet was introduced and look at the obesity trend. Or here is a page which spells it out [0]. People did listen. Before the 1980s, everyone made deep fat fried food at home. Now, deep fat fryers are very rare in homes. And even if you didn't listen, every institution from hospitals to prisons, schools and universities adopted the diet. Every major food maker and fast food chain adapted to the recommendations, and replaced high cholesterol fats for what they thought where healthier low-cholesterol oils. Now we know better, but there is still a determined element in our society pushing the old narrative, using increasingly shoddy epidemiology.

According to the Winnenbago rep that I heard talking when I saw it in person they are just working out the systems and design issues so they are ready when the range catches up.

This van had a 48v house battery that ran air conditioner and inverter and some DC-DC converters for step down from 400v traction battery to 48v house to 12v systems, they had the electrical system layed out on a board which was interesting. Most RV systems are 12v or 120v at this point in the US.

The Netflix film from Korea "Jung-e" is this story line, but a "famous hero" female from an ongoing war is the brain model, and as described by the discussions here, every exploitation possible is explored.

I think you’re unintentionally making the weird ideologues’ point for them: The burden of taxes isn’t the 5, 10, 20, 200 minutes you spend preparing them, the burden is the taxes.

Getting excited about saving taxpayers 15 minutes, and trading off $thousands of deductions for a few more minutes, suggests that you’re optimizing for obscuring the primary burden (the cost of government) rather than reducing it.

It’s the weird ideologues who typically want an extremely simple system. But it’s very hard to make such a system as progressive as what we have today without reintroducing complexity.

Kernel relinking needs to happen on the user's system anyway because the prebuilt builds are not unknown (they are public for anybody to download). It's like ASLR at runtime vs ASLR at build time.

Since these binaries are known anyway they might as well use a seed to allow verification of the published binaries with reproducible builds, then relink them into an unknown binary on the user's system after install (for example during boot as described in the 2nd post).
What they mentioned are legal reasons related to taxation and "please don't take the laptop with you to any other country" stuf.

Top attack is primarily a way to exploit the fact that most tanks are weakly armored on top. The speed (not KE, per se) trade off make sense because it makes a kill more likely by positioning the warhead for better penetration.

That doesn't make sense for aircraft - even slow drones which are still a lot faster than tanks and move in 3 dimensions. Faster weapons means less time for the target to escape, which is always better even when guided missiles.
This isn't logical though.

We have evidence that 8,000 was far too many, because they're gone and Twitter is still Twitter.

We have zero evidence that 550 isn't still too many.

For how long? I agree with most comments that the concern is usually local taxation law. But if it is a short period, like less than a month, then what's the motivation to tell your employer?
It really wasn't. Just lookup a graph of obesity over time and see if you can spot when the low fat diet was implemented by the U.S. government.

You definitely don't have to engage with anyone on anything, but if you want to see a change in the world, you have an opportunity to influence the bystanders with your knowledge.

I remember being at a party where two people got into an argument about abortion. It was exactly what you would imagine, a completely pointless exchange of rehashed ideas that the 10 people watching the conversation have heard a million times.

Then someone chimed in - not to argue but just to drop a fact they possessed that nobody else in the room knew. It didn't change the arguers' minds but it took the other ten people aback like "how come we heard this debate a 1000 times but this very important fact never gets mentioned?"

So that random quip influenced 10 people on a very polarizing issue. That's powerful.
The third case is very common.

I would not even use the word "refuse" Sometimes the legacy system is so legacy that fixing it is a many years project. Sometimes you have such a messy environment that rotating credentials means a general crash. Sometimes you have legacy software that must stay legacy and you cannot patch + that software is so ingrained into your system that you cannot isolate it. Sometimes ...

This is all bad design and bad architecture from scratch. Or "good architecture 25 years ago".
Making it automatic is a step in the wrong direction. They need it heavily simplified or even entirely removed. Then they should worry about automation.

Hybrids main use are stop and go urban vehicles, on the highway at constant speed nothing beats a diesel. In gasoline vehicles you can go Atkinson cycle so that the gas engine approaches diesel efficiency with a loss of torque which is made up with electric motor. However if you're driving long distance all time might as well just go diesel like all other long haul vehicles.

Yes and people do it all the time from within their prison cell. As should she. She's been convicted, so the presumption of innocence is gone. Now the onus is on her to prove the trial wasn't handled legally. Which is a claim she is free to make while serving her sentence.
Well, we only have about 8 billion people on the planet.

I can’t speak to US billing practices on the facility fee side, in general though Canadian fee codes for the professional fee/reporting component are higher than the US. The tendency to proceed to CT early is largely because:

1. A lot of ED centres are financially rewarded if they keep time to disposition within target (either directly in Canada or for throughput in US). If the CT identifies a cause for admission and a service is consulted that patient is officially “discharged” from ED even if they are physically still there waiting for the specialty consultation / admission.

2. Generally unjustified malpractice fears in both US/CAN, the theoretical risk of cancer down the line is impossible to tie to an individual imaging study, but there is a lot of fear for missed diagnosis. Despite risk scoring systems for things like pulmonary embolism I see a lot of patients with pneumonia on X-ray (I.e. an explainable cause for chest pain) getting these studies “just to be safe”. Overalll positivity rates on these studies is 1-2%, despite how much this imaging has become utilized (something like 10-20x increase over the last 10 years) we have not seen corresponding reductions in mortality suggesting overimaging, but research is ongoing.

As a radiologist I try my best to reject unnecessary scans, but it’s difficult to do so when a clinician is telling you “I’m scared about deadly condition x”. When they’re younger I can apply the radiation risk consideration and suggest shared decision making, in some outlandish requests (I was asked to CT an 18 year old male with a fever, negative blood work and zero risk factors for PE, so likely viral illness or asthma) I outright refuse but those cases are few unfortunately as most presentations are elderly patients.
Yeah, being "close to the office" is not the reason for that, regardless of what might be publicised.

Ask HN: What resources do you use to workout efficiently and without injuries?
I'm in my mid-30s. I've been following P90X for roughly five years, working out at home three times a week: legs and back, shoulders and arms, chest and back. Each session takes roughly an hour. I also run. I'm happy with my fitness, but I injure myself quite often (pulled muscle, weird pains in joints). I don't think I have a good form.

I want to learn more about warming up, stretching muscles (like yoga), reducing the chance of injury and working out to increase my healthy life span and feel good rather than look good.

What is the best resource for your fitness? What did help you the most to understand your body and how to treat it?

Ideally, I would like to work out at home, not in a gym.

This "foundation training" comes to mind as an example resource that helped me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BOTvaRaDjI

Speaking of making a person.. at this startup I worked at years ago (before LinkedIn existed), it was a tiny shop and we were all maxed out time-wise. It was frustrating when we had to deal with incredibly persistent salespeople that wouldn't take no for an answer, and others that preyed on our time relentlessly for no apparent reason.

So as a joke we invented a fake employee with a fake name. I think his first name was Joe. We gave this person an email address and I made a voicemail recording for him.

When a time-waster was bugging us we'd tell them to contact Joe, "who is in charge of that" and provide the contact info. What started off as a joke ended up saving us a fuckton of time, effort, and hassle. For some reason Joe's incredibly upbeat and douchy sounding voicemail message was like manna from heaven for the relentless salespeople that refused to stop calling. It was an interesting social experiment of sorts. Joe was essentially a /dev/null bucket and never responded. But it worked.

This lasted for years and was really beneficial for us. Harder to pull off these days, but not impossible I imagine!

Right, people do it but it has zero clinical utility as the history is way more significant (are you passing gas/stool).

If you had an ileus (non moving bowel) for 2 weeks you would know without auscultating. If you’re passing gas or having bowel movements, the presence or absence of bowel sounds means nothing.

If you’re not passing gas or having bowel movements after 2 weeks the auscultation findings are similarly meaningless as this is a very concerning presentation.
I think CXR in pneumonia is justified - if there's deterioration it's very helpful to have imaging at admission and consolidation on a CXR is usually expected for diagnosis (in UK), especially if the patient is requiring oxygen and sick enough for admission. I totally get what you mean though - unfortunately clinical examination is not trusted and valued. I guess POCUS is sort of just an extended clinical examination with more hardware...

Very interesting, but I do wonder some things:

1. Isn't 1 in 49 still hugely statistically significant and therefore suspicious? The probability of this happening by chance is still only 2%

2. What were De Berk's the "great secrets" and "secret compulsion"? Was there any other evidence presented against her besides the raw statistics?

3. In the case of Folbigg I just wonder: Why would she have so many kids if all she does in her diary is complain about their existence ... ??

I think it does the opposite of not inspiring confidence. A good leader knows when they’re facing a tough problem that they don’t have all the answers for and they need help solving it. Reaching out for that help rather than trying to muddle through on your own could be the difference between success and a disaster. Not sure Larry and Sergei are the ones to give it but it doesn’t hurt to have them involved.

One thing I have noticed is that a lot of people who engage a lot on the internet turn from reasonable to argumentative and often outright mean.

They're close. But the pyramid is not significant enough to account for that much change. Other things happened in 1980 too.

The solution in many countries basically amounts to letting future generations deal with the problem. A lot of nuclear waste is being stored in temporary places awaiting a permanent solution that does not yet exist. That solution is going to be expensive and nobody is particularly eager to have that in their back yard even though the risks are very low. So, lots of countries have been deferring solving that problem and only talk in terms of hypothetical solutions that could work that somebody else (i.e. future generations) might want to pay for.

Only a few countries (e.g. Finland) have permanent storage underground for nuclear waste. But that was only opened fairly recently. France actually used to just dump it in the ocean. These days they are a bit more responsible. I think they are building a storage facility that is supposed to open some time next decade. Meanwhile, just like in most other places, they just store the waste in sealed containers and store those on site.

I would say it's a solvable problem but not a solved problem. The solution has a large price tag with absolutely no return on investment. And that's a problem that doesn't have any solution.
I don’t really agree that democrats have been shitty and unhinged. I mean, Jan 6, mass book banning, and the latest Republican inability to select a speaker of the house all come off as way more unhinged than anything democrats have done in a similar period of time. What’m I missing?

good example. i thought i used type-driven design, but your example made me realize i'm clearly not.

In your example, how would you qualify using an enum "State" with the case "shuffled" and "ordered" ?
I feel like this would help me check all cases in places where it's needed, sometimes with the help of the compiler. But does that qualify as "type-driven" ?

In particular, do languages like idriss require encoding all possible states of a state machine as a unique type to leverage the full power of the checking mechanisms ? This would seem a bit unmanageable in practice..
