I recently did the hiring challenge for the platform role. My solution worked really well and I thought the code was clean but they told me that I didn't score well enough to move on to the next round.

I asked about leveling since the fly.io hiring page claimed to be hiring levels 1-3 and I didn't see how I could be screened out of consideration for level 1. They did not reply.

Right. We each have different candidate fit models. I think this article is well-written, but I think she should post this on her job listing as a note somewhere in the JD e.g. https://jobs.lever.co/claypot/9c6fedbf-3c91-4a48-98b9-467d00...

And it's good for people to post those things so you know what each group is looking for.
Does it just require a lot more training? Im talking about the boring stuff. Children play and their understanding of the physical world is reinforced. How would you add the physical world to the training? Because everything that I do in the physical world is "training" me and enforcing my expectations.

We keep avoiding the idea that robots require understanding of the world since it's a massive unsolved undertaking.
The idea of capabilities is so foundational, and yet so obscure, on my darker days it seems like there's an active conspiracy to keep it out of general awareness.
Paypal is not a bank, but it acts like one, and they can and will freeze your account for minor things. I recall a big donation fund being shut down years ago and the only recourse was refunding to senders, but the international senders they just kept the money because they didn't feel like converting it back to their currency. They do not have regulations like a bank, so your money is really in their hands and you will have no recourse. I always recommend avoiding Paypal.
Oh, I've definitely figured it out. My family holds relatively little importance to me and I absolutely loathe the mere idea of raising children, and no amount of additional life experience is going to change that (to the point that "having children" is easily one of the worst "realistic/reasonable" things I can imagine happening to me).

To further update this, the German Foreign Minister just stated in reference to the recent decision to send tanks to Ukraine: "But the most important and the crucial part is that we do it together and that we do not do the blame game in Europe, because we are fighting a war against Russia and not against each other.”

"because we are fighting a war against Russia" ~Germany's foreign minister. Think about the significance of this statement made yesterday.

Storing the TOTP in your password manager still protects against brute force / rainbow / phishing / MITM attacks. The author has come to their conclusion based on one scenario without considering any others.

For super important stuff, such as email accounts, I use an external authenticator. For medium important stuff where I want a bit of extra security (or I’m forced to use 2FA when I don’t want to), I store it in the password manager.
> Yep, everyone is rich.

They are when compared to alternative paths. The differences in financial fortitude may be large but the "poor" in most capitalist nations are far richer than the true poor elsewhere. Life expectancy is higher as well which is not surprising given the relation between having access to basic needs - which most people in capitalist (and pseudo- or state-capitalist like China) societies are - and life expectancy. The number of people living in extreme poverty worldwide declined by 80 percent from 1970 to 2006 either under capitalism or Chinese state-capitalism under Deng Xiaoping. Poverty worldwide included 94 percent of the world’s population in 1820. In 2011, it was 17 percent. Mortality rates for children under the age of five declined by 49 percent from 1990 to 2013 (WHO).

The other side of the coin is just as clear, Communism pulls down everyone but the anointed party members down into poverty. Taking Venezuela as a recent example Chavez and his cronies managed to turn the richest country in south America into a basket case in a measly 15 years.

So, is capitalism pure good and communism pure evil? It depends on the scale at which they are applied. In my family we live like communists where everyone gets according to their needs while partaking in the upkeep of our facilities according to their abilities. Most families work like this I think? Yay, communism works... at this scale. At a national scale it does not as has been shown countless times. Capitalism is the other way around, at the smallest scale - family, extended family, neighbourhood - it tends to lead to unappealing results while it shines at a larger scale - at least when the excesses are kept in check. Just like communism it lends itself to concentrations of power in the hands of a few but unlike communism it can be kept in check without falling apart at the seams.
This is a key learning I had to learn as a manager: people learn what they need to turn their inputs to outputs well enough not to be fired. It's management's job to internalize the business and its needs and make sure that the individual contributors have an accurate mental model of the world.

I wonder what it would look like if we had people across the business working on the same problem together rather than a game of telephone, which is how these data requests end up.

> Apple isn't taking away self-hosted RSS podcast feeds. It's presenting a separate paid subscription experience within its Podcasts app. No "audacity" about it. If you don't want that as a creator, don't use it.

It sounded to me like the audacious part was that they don't make it clear that, once you sign up for this service, your users cannot get your podcast in any other way than using Apple Podcasts, and you will never be able to change that. The audacious part is this:

> They say that your podcast will be available to listeners on Apple Podcasts, but they don’t explicitly say that your podcast won’t be available to anyone else. When you upload your audio, they say it will have DRM, but they don’t make it clear what the consequences of this are. They tell you your show won’t have an RSS feed, but they don’t tell you what you’re giving up by not having one. This is predatory.

Which, I agree with the author, is a really, really wild thing to do, which few companies could think they'd get away with. You can just imagine a PM saying "ayy, they don't like it? screw 'em, we're Apple!"
You nailed it. At the beginning of my career I thought that success and value to the organization was all about technical skills.

30 years later I now understand that most successful projects need people with modest or average technical skills and outstanding communication skills.

It doesn't matter if you have super-genius engineers; if the business people don't really understand the problem that they're trying to solve then you're going to end up with a crap solution (may shiny, fast, and beautiful, but still crap).

Get yourself to a therapist, and evaluated by a psychiatrist. Concerns around holistic well-being aside, it is an urgent practical matter for you to be able to sustain yourself.

For me, the combination of COVID, a soul-sucking employer (though with a fantastic team I miss very much), and being unable to see my family on the other side of the planet for three years was too much. I'd have been fired were it not for the fantastic team. I had almost nowhere else to turn, so I finally took the (extensive) advice to see a therapist. Between therapy and psychiatry I found what was needed to get myself out of the awful job and into one I enjoy, and I can be productive again.

Once sustaining yourself is worked out and the pressure is off, you can work on the more holistic aspects.

Good luck mate! Happy to talk further in the comments if you'd like.

> So there is no possibility to brute force.

Brute force is the one option that is always available to an attacker.

What makes brute force untenable in most instances is the amount of time the attacker may need to wait for brute force to find the decryption key. And that amount of time is dependent upon the algorithms used and the amount of hardware an attacker is willing to devote to the brute force option.

An attacker that does not have access to your vault and token can try neither brute force nor look for cracks in the method you use to encrypt the token that might allow for decryption.

An attacker that does have access to vault and token is given the ability to try brute force and to look for cracks that might allow decrypting the vault.

State 1 (attacker does not have the vault or token) is lower risk than state 2 (attacker has access to the vault and token).

By storing your vault, and this token, in a public repository you have increased your risk. Whether the increased risk means your "locks" will be picked is unknown, but you are more at risk of having them picked than if you did not have your vault and token in a public repository.
>If you're charging a subscription fee then it makes sense that the podcast lives in a walled DRM'ed garden

No, it absolutely does not. In the same way it doesn't make any sense to have DRM on music or anything else I pay for. I'm a paying customer, why should my experience and the product I'm paying for literally be worse then the people who pirate it? This thinking is straight out of the 90s/00s RIAA playbook that Apple themselves played a major role in tearing down! Normal podcast systems charge money and make things member-only just fine with normal RSS and standard sound. If someone wants to save one they got while paying to listen to again later so what?

>Also, if Apple is hosting it for nearly free ($20/year is nothing), why would you expect Apple to make it available to competing podcast apps?

"Nearly" isn't actually free. It's a paid service, and it's for something that's "nearly free" to provide too by that argument. Why shouldn't it just be standard, with a bit of Apple polish in the interface and tooling and some options for users to add Apple as an intermediary for privacy if they want? This is a dumb, good-will burning approach for peanuts. Anything Apple gets from this isn't worth even having a front page story on HN and a few thousand people noticing and getting just a little bit more irritated. It's a symptom of a company that isn't thinking as holistically as it once did, or more charitably this is such an unimportant thing that it didn't actually get any serious attention and they just built it in a proprietary lazy way out of their current defaults I guess.
Here I found an interesting Article by David Craig about where Lisa Pascal (and all the other Apple Pascal version) came from: https://www.applefritter.com/content/brief-history-apple-com...

Where Apple II and III Pascal was based on UCSD Pascal, Lisa Pascal was apparently directly based on Wirth's P4 compiler, not on UCSD Pascal. See page 4.

A super shitty one: in Berkeley there's a mandatory savings contribution, with no income floor. So what you get is people who are on minimum wage who can barely cover bills because of laughably low minimum wages, who are effectively having those negligible wages garnished - the "savings" aren't meaningful for retirement in any way shape or form, so all that is happening is they're having money taken from them so that they can't buy, for example, food.
I'm a bit out of the loop but wouldn't hosts have the original source material that they uploaded? Similar to how users have the source images/videos to whatever they upload to TikTok and Instagram? I suspect neither offer an export either.

Additionally, the author complains that an Apple Podcast user has to go through the app (and all its restrictions), but again, not that different from Instagram posts. As a user, you must go through Instagram to see photos. These users aren't there just for generic hosting, but also for the network effects. For those that want generic hosting, there are other more appropriate services, like google photos or maybe Flickr (or self hosting).

I'm not arguing the Podcasts/Instagram model is better, just that there is fairly old precedent, so the purported shock value seems pretty low.
Maybe because the fruits of those few well-intentioned founders labours aren't blasted on the news 24/7 like SBF was, doesn't mean they don't exist?

I've seen people in parts of South America where the banking system can be completely unusable, using their phone to send and receive crypto payments cheaply and reliably, enabling them to safely transact with family. I've heard of this also happening in Africa.

Others, workers from Mexico for example, working in the US, are able to remit their small incomes back home for pennies instead of a 15% western union bite out of it.

It does have functions and utility that does work, and they are the same functions envisioned by the OG's.
Calorie restriction beyond the point of having a normal BMI has never been shown to reverse aging in humans. It's more likely to have the opposite effect due to increased risks from sarcopenia and immune system dysfunction.
The problem is that the battery is not the only expense on the car. You have to depreciate the vehicle's value too, because there is a good chance a BEV will be disposed of rather than have a battery replacement.

Say the lifespan of a battery is 10 years. If you lose 10% of the charges for grid storage you're looking at replacement at the 9 year mark. Until we know that the vehicle itself will be reusable at that point you need to depreciate the battery usage against the cost of the entire vehicle, and be compensated for it.
From the FAQ:

Is MuffinTerm really “calling” a BBS, like over a telephone? Will this use minutes on my telephone plan or anything?

No, MuffinTerm connects to the BBS over the Internet, using your device’s network (data) connection; the term “calling” is just retained from the modem era. (There are still some BBSes that offer actual dial-in over a telephone line; but MuffinTerm doesn’t use such hardware.)

Wait, I did something and it definitely made telephone sounds.

Ahhhh, you didn’t believe me and tried typing in an old ATDT call string, didn’t you. Well, despite the sounds that you heard, it’s still not really dialing out on a telephone. But you can perhaps relive a bit of old times that way. :)
In my experience they were weirdly hostile about a question about supporting live WebSocket feeds of incoming data. SoylentADSB had developed one of those trivial chat applications you do when learning about WebSockets and flamed me for even asking.

When I questioned him about it he got very defensive and started resorting to personal attacks. By the end the the discussion he had deleted all of the pertaining chat messages from Discord, which I found childish. If you read past logs of his conversations, he's notorious for acting like that with people asking legitimate questions.

In my opinion, that's the exact opposite type of person that you want running this sort of thing that is essentially propped up by the community. It's a skeevy model today because they actually profit off of what the community provides. Ideally, this would all be open sourced and run by some governance board just like any successful open sourced venture.
I imagine his parents, in addition to giving him standard "don't do public speeches about the bad things you've done" lawyer advice, probably also wouldn't have recommended he drop out of Jane Street, make large arbitrage bets on crypto, set up a exchange without proper controls and take money out of that to bet on other cryptos. He may or may not be on very good terms with them, but I don't think he's been following their advice on big decisions for a while...
Yeah basically this.

If you've managed to get into my password manager, it means you must have gained access to my machine whilst it was unlocked (and my password manager was unlocked too). If that's the case, you already have access to live sessions to most of the things stored in my password manager.

Essentially, if you have access to my password manager, I am completely fucked anyway, whether my OTP codes are in there or not.

Note that this is not the actual foreword to Tom Holland's Dominion; rather it is an essay that Taleb feels could serve as a foreword to the book. No deception is intended by Taleb, but I just wanted to make that clear.

Taleb is a brilliant polymath. I am not worthy to untie his intellectual sandals. But I will say this: Any garden variety American Evangelical Christian will struggle to make sense of this essay. I am a seminary graduate and for me it just raises many questions. For an Evangelical the statement, "Literal 'belief' is not something that concerns us [Eastern Orthodox Christians] too much" is disconcerting if not an actual stumbling block. I say this not to condemn but as a gentle heads-up to my fellow Evangelicals.

None of which matters.

What matters as to whether an attacker can decrypt it is the algorithms used to encrypt the token.
