This isn’t scientific, but was recently listening to a podcast where they interviewed someone (18 minutes in) who does laundry for the Nets basketball team, and he said that the dryer basically bakes in any sweat or blood or stains which don’t get washed off before. I’m not sure how this affects longevity of the fabric, but from a usability standpoint, if your clothes are permanently stained, you probably will stop wearing them.

Yeah that’s what’s holding me back from a big upgrade. 64 GB of RAM is nice, but it’s DDR3 and AFAIK I need a whole new mobo and cpu to get to newer DDR

I’m still on my desktop build from 2011, except I have slowly upgraded parts over the years like the ship of theseus

Considering the community, I think catting 156 GB to grep and calling it fastWikiLookup is a subtle joke about how absurd this is.

huh, really?? this post and the original is showing in [email protected] for me, and going there, I see two posts with the same link:

I don’t see this post in [email protected] at all, even when checking on lemmy.world directly. I don’t think this is a federation issue.

I’ve never seen any interview as invasive as this, but i think simple take home assignments are useful to weed out people who don’t have basic skills for the role, can’t read instructions clearly, and/or don’t care enough for the role. It avoids me spending 30 minutes to an hour interviewing them to just reject them.

The roles i interview for are mid level devops based, and we’ve found that the best way to do this is to provide the candidate a simple git repo with 2 branches, which can’t be merged due to a merge conflict of two text files; no coding required. Just asking the candidate to resolve the merge conflict and write a README with the steps taken is enough to have more than half of the candidates unable to complete the task. If we interviewed all those candidates first, and then had to reject them, it would probably be 1 full working day per month in aggregate that would be utterly wasted.

Am I missing something but this isn’t cross posted from another community, right? the original post was in this community, [email protected], so why repost if it’s less than 12 hours later in the same community?

If they have an ad read in the video, like a creator saying the video is sponsored by XYZ Corp, those could also be paid based on views of the video (in addition to the ad impressions by YouTube). Those ads are handled externally from YouTube’s ad platform, but they do rely on YouTube analytics and views being reported as legitimate.

From what I heard, they screen tested both versions of the movie, the directors version and the one edited by the trailer company, and both tested equally the same. Rather than defer to the director, they chose to take the scenes which tested the best in each version of the edit, and combine those together into the mess we saw.

Y’all heard of WorldCom?

FWIW with virus total, you don’t even need to upload the file, just provide the hash to see if is known to virus total. The name may be auto generated which wouldn’t help much in searching, but the hash is based on the file contents.

The standard is called TOTP and Google became synonymous with it because they pushed it in the late 2000s for Gmail and have a large user base. Other sites did have systems beforehand, like Paypay which had a dedicated fob, but that was not widely used. Gmail was likely most people’s first experience with MFA and Google pushed their own Authenticator app (and didn’t really advertise that others could be used). As other sites got on board, it was easier to tell people to use the app they use for google to get their code, since you could assume people had the app.

Basically that made a situation where people who had a different TOTP app knew their app would work with “Google Authenticator” but for those without an app or using Google Authenticator, they were likely unaware of the interoperability and standards behind the mechanisms.

Right, I’m aware of tax companies doing this. I’m not sure if PII deletion services are doing the same, but they do benefit by having weak data protection laws. What I meant is it wouldn’t surprise me if data deletion companies are also lobbying against what’s best for Americans, the same way tax prep companies do.

How do you think Alice and Bob met?

I would assume they do something, but I have not used any of these services myself. My feeling is they’re kinda like the tax filing software, they might be useful tools, but their whole business relies on things being unnecessarily burdensome for the average person. I wouldn’t be surprised if it came out that these companies lobby for lax regulations for data brokers, just enough for their product to be useful but not enough to put them out of business.

Overall, I feel if I freeze my credit, and occasionally google my name for data broker websites, going through the opt-out on the ones, I think that’s enough to put me above 90% of the US population, and then it’s just a numbers game of not getting scammed.

Whenever I’m sick I will always just put on The Venture Bros. while I recover. The show spanned so many years, makes me feel better watching the show evolve and remembering what point in my life I was in when various episodes aired.

123 Fake Street, got it!
