Yup, noticed I had it come n go over last year

Funny you mentioned Mongolia. Republic of China (Taiwan) still recognize it as part of its territory (together with mainland China).

It is the communist that ceded a lot of territory to the Soviet Union and the puppet state of Mongolia to appease the USSR by having a buffer between it and china

Maybe we shouldn't be supplying the machine (paying taxes) at all

Exactly, I feel a lot of my coworkers fell under this trap: if you need cashflow for mortgage on your 4m mansion in (affluent neighborhood), you can't really afford it.

I understand the semantic difference but wouldn't you be able to say add a "backup" Yubikey and lock it in a safe?

Capital gains do depend on participants of the market and economy in general. But each and every one of them has already been taxed. I simply stating the obvious that money should be taxed exactly once, not so many times.

Why would capital gains be taxed in the first place? It's simply double taxation on the income

But brainfuck is Turing complete so you can bootstrap a LISP interpreter from brainfuck, thus making it "real"

I'm a car person but 20/30 mins of walk to get some coffee with my dogs sounds very pleasant (iff the pedestrian crossings are safer as the article proposed)

Just because the majority are fat doesn't mean it's healthy

I have a theory that at least some of them might be taking advantage of an (un)official website/forum that allows for free sharing/hosting of wsz files, which of course are just zips

I agree. To be blunt, ass-kissing is a soft skill. Whether you choose to deploy that skill really depends on what you're looking for (eg big name companies, high TC, remote work, etc.)

And end of the day, interviews are also a chance for candidates to evaluate the company

From personal experience the coding round gets easier for senior/staff roles, even for the exact same question, because of the experience the interviewers have and the signal they are looking for (eg problem solving, communication, testing, etc.)

At junior and "SDE II" level coding rounds are just toxic newly minted SDEs trying to make it a competition between the candidate and themselves ( I've got interviewers offended when I came up with a simpler solution than the one he had in mind)

Maybe it's the area I work in, but I was thinking of Envoy as I read the title of the article.

Not agreeing with the (somewhat amusing) limited heartbeats theory, but even under that theory, cardio is beneficial since it lowers your resting heart rate.

e.g.

my HR is 50 thanks to running an hour a day, my HR during those runs are between 120 to 150, that gives 50x60x23+150x60 == 78000 beats a day

a non runner might've a HR of 60 (being very generous, most folks are well above 70), that gives 60x60x24 == 86400 beats

Again, the limited heartbeats theory sounds like an oversimplification. But the point of rigorous training (cardio and strength) is that your body adapts to the taxing efforts during training and doesn't need to work nearly as hard for your day to day.

If the user is MITM'd, what's preventing the attacker also replace the signature to verify against?

As a thought exercise I would argue 2A protects the right of a Chinese national owning nuclear weapons legally in the US.

Exactly. Many staff/principal ICs I work with are genuinely happy and passionate about their work, they literally do it for fun having achieved financial independence.

This reminds me of the study that concludes dogs shit on north-south orientation (that's why they circle)

This chrome extension is a lifesaver: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xoom-redirector/oc...

He scammed too many other rich and powerful people I think. Just stick with scamming the commoners and you'll be fine :)

No one is allowing or disallowing specific groups of people, the market decides.

Is Ferrari "not allow specific groups of people" (I am in that group) to buy their cars by not pricing them the same as a Honda?

I agree the voters should decide, and in this case they happen to side with NIMBY

  If they don't like it, they can move.

It is funny how people criticize the US "colonialism" yet feel entitled that they should be able to move into any neighborhood and drive out current inhabitants.

Microsoft Edge comes to mind

The farms might be running ASICs which are really good for nothing except (very specific) hashing

As another commenter mentioned you may or may not consider my experience as selection bias. So with that out of the way:

- all H1B friends I know obviously are from work; I used to work at one of the FAANGs - these friends are in late 20s and above, so at least SDE 2 if not more senior - you can verify at levels.fyi that 250+ TC is normal for these roles

I'm interviewing a lot for my company and I recall in the height of the hiring boom that peaked around 21, we really are throwing out 200-300 TCs for fresh graduates, Americans or not

Not being hyperbolic, ALL of H1B friends I personally know makes 250+ total comp. Many makes around that in base salary. ( most my friends are late 20 and early 30s )

I have a similar setup but for networking I find some really cheap InfiniBand cards (20-40) on eBay and configure iSER in tatgetcli

I recall at the height of COVID, it was advised to keep an eye on one's blood oxygen level

IMO immigration would focus on merits AND integration more than length of residency. In the past by physically traveling and being in another country is a testament of the financial means and the willingness to adopt the new culture.

Nowadays traveling is much easier and many immigrants are simply, put it harshly, colonizing the foreign country instead of adopting it.
