I think that’s becoming less true. A lot of recent “cancellation” attempts have failed.

Of course, it’s probably much more difficult for those who aren’t already successful and famous.

It's a direct answer to a fairly broad and vague qualifying question, intended to be a response to kick off a dialog and proceed to discuss what the real question is.

Interviews aren't and shouldn't be about regurgitating rote memorization.

> Dermatologist accepts Medicare and Medicare Assignment but Medicare won't pay for cosmetic surgery. Sounds fair.

That's not what I'm talking about at all. I don't know where you got "cosmetic surgery" out of that.

A common pattern is that Medicare will only cover a certain service X times per week/month/year. Because their limits are inherently coarse by design, they're not going to be appropriate for all patients. A patient for whom (X+2)/(unit time) or even 2X/(unit time) would be more appropriate can only obtain the additional services from another provider altogether. Which, in plenty of circumstances, may not actually be literally possible.

> First, non-participating providers can charge whatever they want; they're non-participating and not bound by Medicare rules.

Incorrect. Non-participating providers can only charge the limiting charge (usually 15% more than the Medicare reimbursement rate, though some states cap it at a lower value).
I heard from a Google employee that you can get a much lower price if you use a VPN exiting in a South American country only when you subscribe, while keeping your normal account and credit card.

But I don’t want to try as I don’t want to risk my Google account being closed.
How is that malware deployed to a machine?

Is that something attackers can install/activate remotely through some kind of RCE, or does it need me to run an executable manually?

In other words, is it still enough to be careful with social engineering, or are we more screwed than that?
Interesting. Do these represent oversights in TypeScript's builtin type definitions, or are they artifacts of legacy considerations?
By passing secure boot is pretty bad, but the article doesn't mention anything about the TPM. Even if you trick uefi to execute this exploit, surely the TPM will have different measurements and not release the encryption key.

The article says it can run on windows 11, which does imply it also tricks the TPM but I would love confirmation.
I am much more sympathetic to that argument than the people pretending it’s to avoid offense.

I am not going make judgement on people's loyalty. If someone chooses to do 60 hours works more power to them. If people don't want to do side projects that is perfectly fine too. Seriously my motivation wasn't to suggest id penalize those without a side project. It was more from my observation that (from several l5-l7 candidates):

1. Despite the "let us work together" intent it is still an exam where you are penalized for taking too long or making a "wrong" assumption or missing a few bits,

2. Given above or not when confronted with a random question it can be easy to get very nervous unless you have built a similar system from 1 to 1b user scale or you have done tons of practise interviews with companies.

So apart from interviews being hard and what they are purely because of supply and demand I wanted to see if you can learn just as much from a more open book approach (with either a side project or candidate knowing the question ahead of time say the night before). It could even be more inclusive that way!
We use Git submodules for Actions because our security has disabled 3rd party Actions. So we add them as a module and update the module regularly.

It's faster than having to fill out 3 sets of paperwork, 2 meeting with some guy just out of school in a time zone opposite mine and a 3 week delay.

All while it's all good to adopt npm packages left and right.

And this way it's checked for security issues, so it's even better than going through the paperwork hassle and get it adopted like that.
I will read this as it seems really good.
However, it always feels like a catch-22 problem to me, in the sense that, if you've never worked at a large company before, you can't claim to have truly used or understood large scale systems properly to work on them or design them in production.

I got rejected from a large tech company after failing system design and this was exactly their reasoning: "you seem to know the concepts and the theory really well, but, it was obvious to the interviewers that you lack the real world experience and hiring you would be a risk".

Obviously I... knew or at least tried to know the theory because I PREPARED. I read books, articles, practiced mock problems, watched YouTube for a few weeks, etc, etc. I just tried to "drill" the knowledge that was not there into my brain for the purpose of passing the interview. I guess that's what a lot of people do.

So yeah, it left me really down for a few months and feeling bad about myself and like the world sucks. So, how are you all out there "faking it till you make it" in a convincing way?

Because I bet that no engineers at a FAANG will alone design a full scale system on their own ever, so I doubt the usefulness of the "signal" these interviews give, but, ofc, that's just me, someone who prepared for months and failed
Premium is already expensive considering that GitHub enterprise is $40/user/month and has many more features.

I’ve been following a number of open tickets and certain things I consider pretty basic features aren’t possible at the moment. You can’t block merges that aren’t up to date with the target branch, and merge trains are “too clever” a way of doing that. You can’t block people from being able to reveal secrets in the CI system.
Why does the data starts in 2021? Comparing with the situation before the pandemic is essential to make any conclusion...

Most likely, there is just nothing to see, we are still in the process of being back to normal from the pandemic bubble.

It depends on how they spoke before. If they said rude things and began refraining, I would trust them more.

The problem with this view is Hilary Putnam's "a rock implements every finite state automata". (Nicely explained, with a rebuttal in [0].)

It's an attractive idea that some thing has agency (or consciousness, or whatever property you want to define) to the extent it does some sort of computation. But then you have to go figure out what it means for something to do that computation. That turns out to be extremely difficult; most things can be interpreted as computing most other things.

Right. But the irony is, normally compared to how bungled Microsoft acquisitions are, it seems Github is allowed to continue mostly independent without a lot of oversight? At this point, though still skeptical, it seems to me that Github is not quite beholden to Microsoft and is actually innovating and adding new value.

I totally jumped to Gitlab when the acquisition happened and recommended it to everyone. But now I'm back to thinking Github is the best choice.

The biggest thing for me was free private repositories, which I believe Gitlab forced Github to put into place due to competition. Github has been on its way back up in my evaluation ever sense.

This is exactly right.

The system is set up in such a way that it punishes people who are not chasing higher incomes, up to a point.

Past that point it starts to reward people heavily. When you make enough that you stop worrying about saving and start affording vacation homes and yachts and flying first class everywhere. That's the "lifestyle" thing.

Most people don't earn nearly enough to have expensive lifestyles unless they are heavily in debt. And those people have heavily borrowed from their own futures to finance their current lifestyle, it will bite them later

Most people's incomes leave them in a lot of uncertainty. One or two major expenses in a row will screw them.

If the choice is "work full time and have a stable, comfortable income" or "work part time and have an uncertain, shaky income" that's not a real choice.

If people could work part time and still make the stable income, more people would. I guarantee it.

Yes everything is fine. Norms around language change. 50 years ago you could lose your job for impugning most major religious, governmental or other "respectable" institutions in writing. You probably weren't going to jail for it but you just didn't talk that way about the Catholic church.

At the turn of the century, the same kind of uber-libs who are so jealous of their speech today were getting anyone who even tangentially endorsed labor organization kicked out of college econ departments and black-balled. One econ professor had some good things to say of The Knights of Labor which was the most ubiquitous and one of the most moderate labor organizations in the country, The Nation called into question his economics chair. Godkin himself tried to have the man fired from Johns Hopkins. Many economists who didn't tow the classically liberal line found themselves dealing with unhappy boards of trustees.

Two wrongs obviously don't make a right. But this is not new. The people claiming it is just have very little familiarity with history. And they take for granted that they have just never been on the wrong side of language norms.

Have the woke language grammar police gone too far? Probably. Does it warrant these interminable sanctimonious soap boxes from the Atlantic and their like? No.

> First start by safely lifting the car in the air. We always advise using a quality floor jack and jack stands to support the vehicle. Once it is in the air, you need to gain access to the transmission. Depending on the car in question, this could be behind belly pans or covers. Once you've gained access to the transmission, locate the hex-head bolt. Use a 5mm hex bit socket on a ratchet to rotate the bolt to the right. Listen for a click as you move the foot up. The click indicates that the transmission is no longer in park, and the car will roll freely.

Yikes! Best to keep a 5mm internal hex in the glovebox.

“Proves” in that saying means “tests”, not “establishes the validity of”.
I had a really bad experience with their domain registration system. It doesn't let you set up different billing addresses for each domain. I have my private domains and my business domains. Unfortunately, it wasn't that obvious, and I had the impression that I am able to set up different billing addresses. Turned out that I just always overwrote the last billing address. They refused to help me set straight the invoices for my business and for my private donains. Their UI failed me (it is really bad and not intuitive in this case), this is such a basic feature. Support was also not helpful. Overall it was a very bad experience.
This is a great reminder that what might seem obvious to us could be amazing to others.

Her approach may have been laudable in the 19th century. It was absolutely unacceptable in the late 20th century.

The only reason people accepted it was because it was happening in a poor country. If she had used the same approach in a North American or European country she would almost certainly have been put behind bars.

Edit: If you read the Wikipedia article about the response to criticisms of her, the major defense of her is that she never intended to create a place with clinical facilities, but instead a place where people could die peacefully.

If her institution was accurately promoted as such, I doubt it would receive the millions in funding it did, and even if it did, then the people who sent the funding should be shamed for not sending it to actual hospitals in the areas which actually saved lives. Further, that’s not what the people who went there thought. They didn’t go there thinking they were being given a “kinder” death. They went there thinking they would be treated well.
It sounds like you’re feeling lonely and disconnected, which can be hard to manage when working remotely. Have you tried connecting with your colleagues outside of work? It could help to build relationships and get a better understanding of the team culture. There are also lots of online communities and forums for tech professionals that you might be able to connect with. Hang in there!
Actually, finance is quite a similar shitshow, but people feel safe if they think it is regulated. SEC employs some intelligent people, but a smarter always goes where the real money is. The end result is that SEC will heavily police small funds and investors but will give a wrist slap on big players (which caused almost any mess in finance history) because SEC doesn't have the resources to fight them.
I think the main thing that gives away the shapes image is that the glass surface has thickness. You can see that there are 2 layers of reflection visible on horizontal edges because of it. You could do that in CGI, but nobody does - they make the base surface slightly reflective.

I don't think I would notice it out of context though...
Yeah, it seems like the lie detector has been caught in a few lies of its own.
> Then we need a better test, but the gamification and badgering isn’t effective imo.

The educational field has been trying to do create tests that cannot be gamed for over a century. The problem is that "gamification" is just a form a studying. In general, folks want tests to have the following properties.

1. Consistency of measurement across test-takers for a defined set of skills

2. Relatively short time-bounds (few hours).

In job hiring, the approach that tries to sacrifice (2) is contract-to-hire, just let the person do the work for a month! Turns out that people with in-demand skills aren't super interested in this.

Companies with more than a handful of engineers don't want to sacrifice (1) both out of fear of lowering the hiring bar too and because it may open them to discrimination lawsuits.

Once you have both of these constraints the number of "test permutations" (along with their relevant evaluative criteria) become limited enough that people can study them and thus gamification begins.

Interesting, thanks for chiming in. I wonder if the best way to push back against language policing is to simply poll various groups, see which language they prefer, and publish the results. The deltas could be interesting as well, e.g. even if most blind people dislike the term "blind", it would still be interesting if they are more likely to prefer the term "blind" than a member of the general population.

I think public opinion polling might actually solve the problem, because the actual group has greater moral authority than language police activists. I suspect people might not cite this Atlantic article during a discussion of whether their organization should adopt language policing for fear of coming across as a reactionary old fogey. But if you were citing a poll of the group in question, that's a level of moral authority that's hard for a language police activist to argue against.

Basically the hypothesis to test here is that a latinx-type reaction is fairly common, it just doesn't generally reach public consciousness the way it did in the case of latinx.

It’s not just the big companies. The tiny company I work at doesn’t even think about collecting data because everyone knows an inspection will look into it and impose fines if it’s not properly stored. Afaik If we would collect data, that would require advice from GDPR lawyers and other resources. So, GDPR doesn’t achieve the entire goal of killing it. It’s just a deterrent as I understand it.

I was going to recommend a masterpiece of cinema to you called Blind Fury:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Fury

The realization that it would be pointless, alas, came to me too late. Let me just give you a taste:

While serving in Vietnam, American soldier Nick Parker was blinded by a mortar explosion. Rescued by local villagers, he recovered his health and, though he remains blind, was trained to master his other senses and becomes an expert swordsman.

So, he wears 80s sunglasses and wields a goddamn katana. He is also a hobo. Like Caine from Kong Fu he roams the earth and lowlifes always pick fights with him because they underestimate his... err... blind fury.

There is an "adorable" little kid aptly named Billy, and one dimensional baddies, 'etc. The character is masterfully portrayed by one of the best b-movie actors of all time -- Rutger Hauer (best known for the best bit of Blade Runner).

Anyway I think it is a shame woke imbeciles who run movie studios would refuse to make such a thing today because when I saw it as a kid it made me realize being blind is really not the end of the world. Here you are posting on HN and your insights about society are more astute than the majority of the population. So I just wanted to say that you certainly see what is going on accurately.

P.S. - if you wish to visualize the language police people, they typically look like vogons and pull ugly faces when they speak.

Barack Obama's justice department let nearly all the bankers off the hook after the 2008 financial crisis. A largely democratic Federal Reserve accommodated with zero interest and quantitative easing. Losses were socialized in the form of zero-interest rates that penalized savers. Zero interest rate policies and quantitative easing led to massive wealth inequality and eventually the foundation of the inflation we're now experiencing.

Losses incurred by the banking system were socialized. Profits were privatized. Republicans run this same play via the tax system. But the effect is identical.

Bankers got rich. Wealthy people got wealthier. Working people got poorer.
