If he had actually been pulled over, he would have shown the interaction with police.
The trick is not to make phone calls, but write mail, preferably to their supervising office. A basic FOI to get yourself a copy of your own submission can do wonders, as it forces somebody to find your specific case and look at it.

Most likely what happened is your case (in a physical form of a folder) was simply in a wrong physical place, forgotten, not transferred to a different case worker after a previous one retired/went on vacation/etc or otherwise slipped through the cracks.
Over 2000 years ago a chap called Philodemus sits in the library of a luxurious villa owned by a rich guy who likes collecting art and writing. He writes his thoughts on pleasure, and the relationship between the quantity of something and the pleasure that might derive from it. The scroll goes on the shelves with the others. He writes lots. At some point later the villa is covered by lava from mt vesuvius.

2000 years later we scan the carbonised scrolls with (basically) magic rays and use thinking machines to reconstruct what Philodemus wrote.

I wish we could tell him. Sounds like he was a thinker, he would really appreciate it.
I read it as "show me what I'm getting" - which is totally reasonable. I'm just pointing out that it is a very perishable answer.
Seems mildly plausible for a connection.

About a month after the conference would be enough time to discredit an obvious connection to the conference, while still making use of security breaches that might have been found during the conference. Most security experts know you have to abandon security hopes if you give the hardware to the user with direct access. And with a conference of DEF CON's size, you only need 1% malicious actors for 300 tragedy of the commons results.

MGM's not that far away on the strip for somebody to find a security exploit, and then start checking every nearby casino to see if it works at those casinos. Found a $1 million exploit? Might walk a few blocks to see if it can turn into a $10 million exploit. Non-negligible risk from a casino perspective.

Average casino-win per customer is usually ~$100/admission. [1] Three days [2] gambling for 30,000 = 9,000,000. Hotel stay revenue helps, yet it's usually only 25% of revenue per guest. [3] Casino visitation and attendance has also rebounded significantly in the last few years. [4]

So, higher than normal costs per attendee, attendees who believe they all spend less than normal conference participants, anecdotal stories of repeated high cost issues each year to resolve (ex: concrete poured in sinks on purpose, rooms broken into, satellite dishes stolen), increasing attendance numbers in Vegas, and a multi-$10 million slap a month afterward based on social engineering.

> If the result is correlated with race, that’s not necessarily an issue with admission processes.

True, though if socioeconomic status were not correlated with race, then there would be much less of a reason to want to select based on race in the first place.

> There are other non-academic tests like CogAT, Wechsler, etc. that may be even better

They probably would, for a while. Anything different from the SAT/ACT but correlated with some sort of capability is going to do better when the problem is specialized preparation for existing tests. And that was precisely the problem that caused colleges to stop looking at SAT/ACT. It wasn't because the tests are bad. It was the usual "you make what you measure".

Switching tests isn't free, though. You lose all the historical data that show the association between a test and the specific outcome you care about (eg graduation rates at this institution). You have to go through a bootstrapping period, and by the time you're done, it's possible that people are now targeting the new test and it starts losing its utility too.
The first tip about being self-employed is funny and telling:

> 1. Live simply and reduce expenses. Avoid debt if you can. Rice and beans recipe:

Some people can make really good money self-employed, but for the rest of us (including myself), salaried employment would've been much easier.

Also, a period of lower income will keep paying negative dividends afterwards, because it's expensive to be poor. There might also be long-term impact of stress, if the lower income and uncertainty of being self-employed had more net bad stress than the corporate job would've. (Though corporate BS as an employee can be the worst stress, worse than not knowing whether you can keep your self-employed business afloat.)
Their view is so biased by being VCs. They really believe they are there to help founders. And they do! At least for first-time founders. But they are completely unaware of the damage caused by VCs and have no understanding of WHY many experienced founders prefer bootstrapping. Once you take investment, your goal shifts ever so slightly from "making a great product" to "getting the next round of investment". Your target customer shifts from your product's customers to your investors. The real question is not whether a lawn maintenance company or restaurant wants VC investment. The change that is happening now is that SaaS, mobile app and other "traditionally VC-funded" companies are finally realizing that VC funding is not a good model for building a long-term viable business.
Yes, it will be easier to sue Dartmouth (successfully) for race-based discrimination if/when they return to requiring standardized tests. For example, they won't be able to admit certain minorities with low test scores while not admitting other applicants with similar/better test scores.

However, it sounds like their system works around this problem by weighting the test score based on the average score at the school. So they can still down-weight the application of a poor Asian student from a more challenging school, compared to a different minority student who goes to a school with worse SAT performance. If Dartmouth's percentage of Asian students doesn't tick upward materially in coming years, I would assume this is what they are doing.

To steelman the argument for this process, it's effectively boosting the scores of kids whose parents didn't care as much about education, or who had no avenue into a challenging school. On the other hand, this process dings students from families that prioritize education, who work really hard. Those kids would probably succeed at Dartmouth, and beyond.
If what you said is true, then you are likely an ideal employee for the vast majority of roles. You can read well, understand what you are supposed to do, follow instructions, etc.

It's not meaningless in the real world. You may not be satisfied with your level of success, but that's dependent on how you define success.

You won't find many dumb people among self made multi-millionaires. But being high IQ isn't enough to get you there. It also requires creativity, people skills, a network, luck, etc. We don't test for those things because the people running the show aren't interested in identifying people to compete with them, they are interested in identifying people who will work for them.

Two quadratic processes working at the same time, perhaps?

My guess: increased weight pushes tires deeper into the pavement, allowing them to grab and dislodge larger particles. At the same time, axle weight is a good proxy for torque, so a vehicle with a larger weight can also exert more force on the particles that it grabbed.

There are tradeoffs, but overall I prefer rust's "free market" solution over Pythons "batteries included". Crates can evolve, compete and innovate much more freely than the standard library can. Most importantly they can be deprecated or abandoned when better approaches are found, while anything in the standard library has to be supported forever. And when the dust settles and everyone agrees on one canonically best implementation, that sometimes does get incorporated into the standard library.
std promises stability to avoid a python2-3 situation. Which means any mistake we make will be with us for a long time. And we've already accumulated quite a bit of those mistakes. So non-trivial additions aren't made lightly.

I don't know if it's time to worry, but consider my experience last week on a 737-MAX9 on an Alaska Air flight. Alaska Air is advertising on their website the following:

"Systemwide flexible travel policy
Due to Boeing 737-9 MAX aircraft inspections, we are offering a flexible travel policy if you would like to change or cancel your flight."

My wife and I did not take them up on that last week. Instead, we took the flight. Remember the days when you'd occasionally only have two passengers in a three-seat row? Yeah, those were the days, weren't they? How about if not only did my wife and I have the (exit) row to ourselves, there were entire rows that were empty. A guy one row ahead of us had the row to himself, and at the back of the plane there were probably three completely empty rows. Plenty of others had either a row to themselves, or just two people in the row. We were flying like it's 1999.

Worried? Nah, we weren't. Though I will point out that I only took my seatbelt off to get up and hit the head. I wasn't worried, but I'm not stupid.
> He said he was asked to waive his rights and when he asked police whether he needed an attorney they said no because they were only asking a few questions. He signed the waiver thinking he was going to help, but a few questions turned into a nearly nine-hour interrogation

How is it we are able to legally "waive rights"? That should be addressed - under no circumstances should a not-yet-convicted person ever be stripped of rights. Voluntarily or not. Otherwise, what are they?

Sure, someone can choose to not exercise them; maybe cooperate with the police, but if at any point they choose they should be available.

Am I missing something?
Chichen Itza: A story of mass delusion
For sure, we are starting with the schematic/requirements side of things and will push in the layout direction soon. We have started with some simple layout snippet reuse that is available today. My experience with autorouters is they do not have a good understanding of the problem, we hope to improve that by being able to capture more information about the circuit, for example physical values like voltage and current are captured today.

Our goal generally is to automate tasks that are boring/repetitive like multi-day reviews of big schematics to see if anything accidentally changed. Definitely building a lever for EEs, not a replacement.

Thanks!
I did, for a while.

99% of my work is on a terminal. I used Blink for that, and connected to a remote machine via MOSH. MOSH reduces perceived latency by anticipating the update, and by sending only a diff between the client's display and the up-to-date emulated client on the server.

I stopped because my 11" iPad Pro just wasn't large enough for most work, and because looking down at that screen wasn't practical if I'm sitting in a chair. For working from a hammock it was amazing - but my MBP has a larger screen, no network latency at all, and I can work fully offline if necessary.

If I found myself between jobs again, I'd probably sell my laptops and go back to that setup. Other than saving money on hardware, there really isn't much point to it.

This is not entirely true. Most states do not have a way for 3rd-parties to verify a license ID number.

There is a non-profit, AAMVA (AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF MOTOR VEHICLE ADMINISTRATORS) which provides some businesses with access to verify ids in some states. A list of states supported is here https://www.aamva.org/identity

That said, things are changing and hopefully more states will adopt something more standardized.
So, assuming I apply and got accepted, am I getting the 500K, or just the 125K, or nothing until something further happened?

I thought about applying but honestly 125K was not exciting enough for me :), now I just went to re-read the terms, it seems to be 500k(split for 7% etc) instead, which will be enough to make me applying, question is, how will I get them if I am accepted? first day, a few weeks later, or what.
... but b/c this is a highly competitive school, those "small" differences matter. Looking at figure 1, where they divide by scores into 16 equal buckets, we can tell that the median was over 1500, so the space between say 1510 and 1600 has to express as much of the variation as the whole range to the left. Similarly looking at figure 5, the impact to your admission chances of moving from 1550 to 1600 is larger than the impact of moving from 1200 to 1400. In that context, 60 points is pretty significant.
The alternative to reclaiming would be to leave it in place and pave over the top (asphalt overlay). That has limits, though, so reclamation will be a requirement over time.

The claim and wording is valid and correct, though. You cannot recycle asphalt if you leave it in place. And what is removed is recycled at a rate of 99%.

If you don't reclaim the asphalt, then it's still in place, and technically still in use.

> your goal shifts ever so slightly from "making a great product" to "getting the next round of investment"

Mainly because laws. Refer to CA Veh Code § 23120 (2022)

> No person shall operate a motor vehicle while wearing glasses having a temple width of one-half inch or more if any part of such temple extends below the horizontal center of the lens so as to interfere with lateral vision.

FWIW, I think this is entirely legitimate, since your peripheral vision is definitely impaired. That wouldn't be the case if the information was on a HUD instead.

But even if there was some hypothetical VR headset that has perfect peripheral vision pass-through, it's still at best ambiguously legal until the legislature takes action.

By the way, a HUD is probably illegal too, CA Veh Code § 26708 (2022)

> (2) A person shall not drive any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied in or upon the vehicle that obstructs or reduces the driver's clear view through the windshield or side windows.

There is a list of exceptions to this, but none appear to apply.

They are not test-optional; they refuse to consider it. They previously toyed with the idea of making their own test, but IIRC they gave up on it (probably because they realized it have the same features/bugs as the existing tests). They may be forced to bring mandatory testing back in the future, but currently there are no rumors that will happen. They have other priorities for admission these days.

Yes, but for /whatever/ reason, they programmed their signup form to disallow signups from certain tld's, so a "me@somewhere.uk" (example pulled from hat) triggers their "don't allow from *.uk" error path.

They are not looking at where you "are", just what your email ends with. And why they are bothering to do so I don't know, as they seem to be overlooking the fact that the IRS insists that citizens pay income taxes no matter where in the world they are, and where in the world the income is earned. So a US citizen, living in the UK on a work visa, and earning income in the UK, and with a UK email address, is still required to pay the IRS their due.
In Poland the government is in on it when it comes to specialists of any kind, as this is how they prevent people from emigrating to the west or "emigrating" (tax-wise only) to the Czech Republic, which offers a similar deal.

For a while it was possible to have a flat 5% income tax rate, but I guess someone pointed out that it's too generous, so the best option now is a flat 12% and 3% healthcare contributions.

As a (so far happy) Vision Pro owner, I completely agree with you. However, I remember when they launched the AirPods how just so immediately repulsed I was by that thing, how I truly felt like it looked like a tampon coming out of someone's ear, yet somehow, here we are. I grant you that this is, to put it mildly, a bit more of a stretch. But if somehow wearing VR glasses (don't care what apple says, these are VR glasses) will become mainstream, something tells me they'll be the ones to pull it off.

This is going to be very unpopular with prosecutors. How are they going to secure convictions against the innocent if they can't lie to them? If it is illegal to say "We have all of the proof we need to convict you, you are going away for life, but if you confess we'll shorten your sentence" when they have no proof at all it's going to put a heavy burden on the prosecutor to get that person in jail.
> You don’t think twice about hopping into a passenger vehicle.

I think twice quite regularly about hopping into a Tesla, and after years of avoiding them solely for aesthetic dislike, I found that they also have been burying quality control issues rather than repairing them — just like Boeing! — and so I intend to continue avoiding riding in them whenever possible.

> You don’t […] refuse to hop in an Uber driving the “wrong” make/model vehicle.

I learned how to select the ride level in Uber/Lyft to ensure I don’t get a Tesla.

> traffic fatalities are so common they’re boring and routine.

Traffic fatalities are unforced errors that I invest most of my energy while driving into avoiding — not just my own errors, but the potential errors of the walking and driving into avoiding. I won’t enter an intersection on the walk signal until I see the car start to decelerate, because I can’t trust that they’ve looked up from their phone long enough to prevent an unforced error that kills me. It’s the same lesson taught by “This vehicle stops at all railroad crossings” and “Don’t sleep under coconut trees”: the odds are slim that diligence saves lives, so remain diligent and occasionally save lives. I am just one life, and while I cannot take every precaution, I can certainly take those precautions that I deem worthwhile.

I recognize I’m more likely to die to a Tesla than in a Boeing and I have more precautions assigned to Teslas than I do Boeings. However: if the plane door blows off, I’ll be traumatized even if I live, and I would rather avoid that. As public transit riders, we do not deserve the increased chance of severe traumatic events that Boeing is inflicting on their passengers, onto us, by their shoddy manufacturing and QA.
