The best interviewer I've had when applying to a company made it very conversational. It wasn't "solve this problem on a white board". It was how would you go about designing an application like Twitter that had to serve XXX millions of requests per day. I was just coming out of the (small) startup world and hadn't had to explicitly design for this sort of scale yet. But as I started talking about it, he asked questions which exposed some of the issues in my initial approach so I pivoted and addressed them. He wasn't looking for a fully formed solution directly out of my head, but was trying to figure out how I thought about and approached problems. The way he went about it was also very low pressure and felt like something you might be spitballing with a coworker over drinks. I try my best to emulate him when I'm in a hiring position.

The worst part is actually that very few of the TLD support dnssec, so it still is a chinken-and-egg problem (and the available tooling remains atrocius).

But what alternative is there for securing the dns chain?

DNS-over-HTTP requires time sync, the usual CA problems and it only works for the resolver to the client, it's not used for authoritative servers.

DNSCrypt? Sounds good, but the server key is published in the NS record, which gets published in the old cleartext DNS. So we are still not securing the authoritative part.

Unfortunately DNSSEC is still the only option to secure the whole DNS chain.

Clearly there are multiple factors in play, and it is simplistic of me to pin all the failings of the USSR on central planning. (Which is the essence if my root post, planning is hard and only one small part of the political environment.)

Clearly geographical, climate, and population dynamics (Not to mention war damage) of the US , USSR and Japan post WW2 are enormously varied.

>> the government stopped subsidizing medical schools

That's part of it, yes. The other part and perhaps more damaging part, is the moratorium on creation of new schools, and the measures to actively reduce the ability of hospitals to offer residency positions.

Given a finite money supply the feds have to pick winners and losers for receiving money. However introducing policy, beyond money, has more impact on outcomes.

The libertarians would argue that the policies caused the shortage, not the lack of money. (As evidenced by the US citizens training outside the country.)

I'd even go as far to say that they "oscillate" daily and hourly. One hour, it's restful that I've got a loving wife and kids, and the other, it's hard work ;-)

The point of rest and restful moments is to have enough of them, and certainly more than the non-restful ones.
Don’t be an asshole. The person you are accusing of being deranged and/or a liar just said something about their own street.
Not a psychologist here.

I guess you want to say that it’s a poor metric for intelligence.

Not so sure. IQ is measured in standardized tests. Participants should have the same amount of time to answer the questions. If intelligent people take longer to reach the correct answers than non-intelligent, then, it seems paradox.

The idea could be to prolong the test. So we better see who reaches the correct answers without much time pressure (but still with the same amount). Or go even further and ask really difficult questions without any limit.

These would probably also measure the ability to concentrate, or motivation to continue, … which might not be what you want for an IQ test.

However, if your question would be true, designers of IQ test could fix them in light of this research: they plan for enough time so that even the most intelligent have time to answer the questions. It’s of course a problem to find a couple of really intelligent people if your test is flawed in the first place.
I went by car through town today, own car, masked up since my gf was also in my car (also masked up), while she has a cold. The looks we got for this were ridiculous. We've isolated that way many times bow when one of us had a cold and it's working wonders and gives us a chance to go to places together despite one having a cold.
True, could have used an AI to make it all up.

That would be a shame since I would like to see an actual data based comparison of this.

It does seem that a lot of these no code + AI grifters have to resort to lies to get engagement.
> without their knowledge

I would beg to differ. The industrial magnates of this German era where all well aware of what their supplies were going towards: A 'total war' that didn't stop at exterminating anybody considered inferior.

Each individual case is certainly difficult but there is a line where you can and should be tried as an employee for participating in something which violates laws and or ethical boundaries. And this doesn't apply only to the manufacturing of something like Zyklon B nerve gas.
I would step over a needle or three to save someone from execution for drug use.
Ask HN: What should the content of beginner coding bootcamps consist of?
The bootcamp culture for beginner programmers is often looked down upon in the community and sometimes rightfully so. A bootcamp generally picks up a trendy language/framework and teaches beginners how to code a few trendy apps like a todo list, a shopping cart, etc.

But what beginners should learn is how to break a large problem down into manageable chunks and write functions in a language to solve those tasks and finally integrate them to solve the bigger problem with as few points of control as possible.

Assuming the bootcamps is a few months long and is residential (attendees have no other engagements), what other things should a beginner bootcamp cover according to you?
Something about the fact that it was a simulation rather than a methodical study of real humans kinda makes me not really value the results.

The first three articles are various flavours of FUD and vague assertions of coercion of the usual kind of "flood the field" BS everyone is used to from MSM.

The fourth link you provided "asks questions" but then the actual conclusion is that their trainings fine and people are spouting FUD and they'll need some extra focus on country specific problems.

Results
South African students trained in Cuba have had beneficial experiences which orientate them towards primary health care and prevention. Their subsequent training in South Africa is intended to fill skill gaps related to TB, HIV and major trauma. However this training is ad hoc and variable in duration and demoralizing for some students. Cuban-trained students have stronger aspirations than those trained in South Africa to work in rural and underserved communities from which many of them are drawn.

Conclusion
Attempts to assimilate returning Cuban-trained students will require a reframing of the current negative narrative by focusing on positive aspects of their training, orientation towards primary care and public health, and their aspirations to work in rural and under-served urban areas. Cuban-trained doctors could be part of the solution to South Africa’s health workforce problems.

NameConstraints used to break in Safari: if you didn't set them mandatory, the constraints would be ignored and you could sign anything; if you set them mandatory, the certificate wouldn't validate. But it looks like support was added in 10.13.3, circa 2018, so probably good to go.

The only thing I wonder is how much space it would use if the nar files were stored without .xz and in a store that does smart deduplication. Because of the way Nix works, there's going to be a lot of e.g. ELF files that are nearly identical except for the rpath.

Some of my family are Chinese and they walk around in sandals or shoeless. In the kitchen they often use a large Chinese cleaver. I warn them endlessly not to use those knives

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=chinese+cleaveR&iax=images&ia=imag...

without wearing shoes b/c, if dropped, such a knife can sever part of a foot! But to no avail.

At times there are other hazards indoors, ranging from merely banging a toe in the dark to stepping into water that is carrying 120/240 volts of electrical AC power. The latter can kill you where you stand if you, say, reach for the faucet.

Wearing shoes is safer.

This is crazy for me to read. We hire senior engineers based on a single hour long group interview. I've never participated in an interview (either as an interviewer or interviewee) that has gone on for more than a single hour. We will interview about 5 candidates over a week's time and then offer the position to one of them (or keep looking if none are suitable).
The most terrifying one I've ever heard of was a major global bank[1] who received a call from a national telco about a bill for a leased line to one of their data centers that had been unpaid for 6 months. They had no records of this line.

The attacker had managed to get an unmonitored physical connection installed directly in their data center and was able to exfiltrate data completely without any limitation other than bandwidth for 6 months without detection.

This story was never reported as far as I know.

Yes, AWS’s customers knew what they were signing up for, but AWS’s competitors and potential competitors have a right to enter the market and compete with AWS, and they can’t do that effectively if AWS is hoarding all the customers with punitive switching fees.

Meta’s persistent efforts to bring its employees back to the office may finally pay off as the social media giant announces that office-based workers will be required to work in-person for a minimum of three days per week beginning September 5th. However, those who are currently working remotely will be allowed to continue doing so.

According to a spokesperson, Meta is dedicated to promoting remote work and recognizes that it can have a positive impact on employees’ performance. The company aims to enhance collaboration and work culture to facilitate optimal productivity, both in the office and at home. This is part of a hybrid strategy that was previously announced along with significant staff reductions. Meta has identified 2023 as the “year of efficiency” and acknowledges that some level of in-person teamwork is necessary for maximum productivity.

Meta introduced an official remote work policy in May 2020, when it became clear that the COVID-19 pandemic was unlikely to end soon. Although it hoped to reopen its offices in 2021, it has repeatedly fallen behind schedule as COVID-19 spreads and new virus variants emerge. In early 2022, contract workers protested the demand to return to the office months before internal Meta workers (at the time) decided to make a similar move.

The social networking giant is not alone. Apple and other major tech companies have imposed variable work schedules and faced similar resistance. Some workers have objected to reduced flexibility in locations and schedules, as well as increased costs, which may include day care and transportation. There is also pressure from other companies. Shopify, Spotify, and other well-known brands have remote startup policies that may be more attractive to job seekers. Although the pandemic seems to be ending, the employment situation has clearly changed.

While the ruling party (People's Action Party, PAP) and the neighborhood councils (People's Association, PA) are notionally distinct, in practice the two are very, very closely intertwined to such an extent that that the two are inseparable. So a volunteer who runs free tai chi lessons or something is notionally working for the PA, but in practice the PAP gets the credit for that too.

As an aside, it's funny how Singapore is known as a hypercapitalist utopia, but the ruling party was originally quite socialist and that's still visible in the naming.
A similar phenomenon occurred in the UK, where under fears of "medical unemployment", the British Medical Association argued against increasing medical school places [0].

The attitude persists even today, where the BMA advocates that medical school entries should be limited to the number of specialty training places that follow basic training, so as to avoid the risk of doctors becoming unemployed or under-employed.

As a consequence the UK has a dearth of doctors, and those who are trained are over-worked. The government tries to alleviate the situation somewhat by recruiting from overseas.

Thank you! This has been bugging me and the references I found online to Newton Howard all seem to refer to the blue robot as "Optimus Prime". I know Howard is not necessarily a fan of the toys/shows/movies. But c'mon, if you're gonna troll the neighborhood, at least know the names of the robots you're using. Also, Optimus is the most well-known of all the Transformers. How could he (and the news media) get this so wrong?
If some wealthy person in the 1500's had put two replicas of the statue of David in front of their house they'd have had some angry neighbors as well. (especially if those neighbors were Catholics, which they most likely would have been)

That's not to say that these statues are quite on that level of masterpiece art, but certainly an argument could be made that they rise above the level of kitsch (still a valid if less well regarded genre) into the realm of "legitimate art". In fact a reasonable argument could be made that they exist at the cross section of modern & classically-inspired art. Cultural icons raised to the aesthetics & inspiration of classical masterpieces.

Of course I wouldn't read that precise intent into this owner's display. I mean only that, provided all laws are being followed, the aesthetic taste of one neighbor on their property probably shouldn't be abridge by the differing tastes of another neighbor. But if I was the owner, and trying to make a point about the legitimacy of my right to decorate as I'd like, I'd respond to neighbors' complaints with a few small fig leads satirically placed over the crotches of the robots.

However I'm also unclear on the land ownership here, which probably matters: The article references the sidewalks as a public space, but what is the specific ownership of the land underneath the statues? Where I live, there are defined statutes regarding ownership of areas of public usage like side walks that are, nonetheless, nominally owned by the homeowner & home attached. These things can vary by city and state. In my area, rights and responsibilities are split. I am not responsible for maintaining the physical structure of the sidewalk, but I am responsible for maintaining its usability in the form of snow or other debris removal.
As with any type of audit, you can assert a holy-than-thou “fuck yourself” and apply for an exemption. It is just paperwork and its approval thereof.
The biggest complaint I always hear from people in the medical field is the long hours. It sure sounds to me like that (and thus any knock-on problems) could be solved by more practitioners, spreading the work around.
