Once you've developed good interviewing skills finding the job after that will be far easier.
This isn't nearly enough. When I was in college I had maybe a 20% chance of hearing back anywhere I applied, and another 20% chance of passing the interviews if I did hear back. So roughly 25 applications would convert to one offer. I have a much better conversion rate now that I have job experience, but in college it was difficult for me.
Applying to jobs can feel exhausting though, but like most skills it all comes down to practice. The more you do it the easier it gets. Pace yourself and submit some resumes.
There are two paradigms I see people use to solve this:
1. Text back as soon as you see the message and be okay with your response not being optimal. This is what I do the most.
2. Don't open the app to read the message until you have time to respond, then commit to responding. This way you'll have the message notification reminding you to respond and you don't leave your friend on read.
The best mitigation as a user is to never reuse a password, however protonmail cannot enforce this. From their side the best option is to slow down the hackers as much as possible so it's less likely their more vulnerable users get compromised.

I was under the impression that by "fail" they meant "fail to create economical supersonic flight". While sending passengers to their deaths in an unsafe aircraft would also be a type of failure, I don't think that's what was implied here.
In other words, this function would break websites for me, the demo thinks it's night even though I haven't even had dinner yet.
This seems obvious to me. Many people have bitcoin wallets with only a little invested. In my case, I have a few wallets just to play around with. I assume all of those wallets count as "accounts" in the above, which would really drive down the amount of money the average account controls. However few people actually have wallets with large amounts of money. I could easily move far more money into my wallets, but I choose not to.
On the other hand, when we're talking about non-bitcoin wealth the numerator is much larger (everything you and me have as assets could count as wealth, not just what we've invested in a specific thing) and the denominator would be much smaller (every one of us only counts as one person, while bitcoin wallets could be created on the fly)
In other words, the above is quite the apples to oranges comparison.
We have plenty of lossless compression algorithms already[0], am I misunderstanding what you meant?

One idea: Bind the label list menu to a key like spacebar. Replace the dropdown menu with a list of labels which are already clickable, no need to open the dropdown. This would change the workflow of selecting a label from 3 clicks to 1 click.
> What is it you're doing as an entrepreneur you find so rewarding?
The aerospace industry rewards making minor improvements to conventional airplanes rather than building something novel. Entrepreneurship rewards building something new and "radically different", which is what he was looking for in the first place.
For less experienced players, rushes like these tend to end the game early rather than begin it in an interesting way. Either the defender knows how to hold the strategy and shuts it down, or hasn't seen it before and gets destroyed. While these strategies are certainly part of the game and make high level competitive games far more interesting, it is often a frustrating experience for low/mid level players. Many of those players are looking for an experience where they build their army for a while and attack once they're satisfied with what they've built. Certainly not strategically optimal, but that's often what they find fun.
Signal is centralized and provides true free speech. End to end encryption means they don't know what you're saying, so they have no way to know what to block. That is comparing apples to oranges though, I assume you meant a Facebook or Twitter type of social network.
1) You need to get access to this data first, which is hard. But certainly possible for a nation state to do. Not easy for random individuals.
3) You can't guarantee whether or not someone will vote. Voting twice is a federal crime, and we routinely arrest people for this. If this were done on a wide scale we would see a large spike in these types of arrests as plenty of people who were identified as unlikely to vote would still vote, triggering the FBI to make an arrest. Of course those arrested would then claim they didn't vote twice, and you would be arresting the people who's identity was stolen rather than the perpetrator.
I think those two reasons both rule out the case of individuals doing this, and a large organization doing this systematically. Maybe there are still some loopholes I missed though.
Regarding the rest of the video, his claim of "masks have no effect" seems to be easily demonstrated as false from his experiments. Yes, some smoke does leak, but compare that to him exhaling without a mask. You would get a blast of vape smoke right in your face. The masks clearly filter some smoke and deflect the rest of the smoke away from where he's facing. While obviously not perfect, it looks like a clear improvement to me.
Finally, comparing smoke to covid-19 is disingenuous. You will almost never find individual virus particles floating around the air, they will instead be contained in water droplets which you exhale.
