Perhaps you have me confused with someone else? Looking at my history I don’t see anything particularly abusive and certainly not “unsubstantiated”.

Hang on, let me get my tifnfoil hat.

Yeah, California and New York will implement this ina flash if they can which will force NN in major isps.

“Data collected by EFF from across the state show that only .08% of vehicle plates captured by police ALPRs are connected to a crime.

Lol. What percentage of cars are connected to crime?

A lot of text for your argument which is x isn't secure. Not very compelling.

Signed rest requests ensure that auth tokens can not be leaked as each request is individually signed by a private key.

Your extreme example btw is hyperbolic. Providing signing sample code to clients is pretty typical

Signed REST requests are good too, more secure. And what’s wrong with delegated auth?

Legal way to blackmail. Cool! But, alas, she can be subpoenaed which overrides any gag clause.

Or that it was done for political purposes.

“Scaled across Titan’s 18,688 Tesla GPUs, ”. I am sure that’s all Nvidia really cared about, they’d write anything that made their customers look smart.

So wrong in so many different ways. The questions you research / prep for may be needed at some point in your career.

Much like programming. You program for all relevant edge cases, as one might be used at some point.

People who don’t prep are horribly lazy and are terrible at enumerating edge cases. The have buggy code that fails at some point. Laziness is by far the way worse quality? Though not the only sin.

Lack of sincere desire to be helping the team succeed and no innate talent are bad too.

To imagine that genetics do not play a role in intelligence (or any talent) is horribly naive, otherwise we could teach our dogs to program.

This is true if you have very junior level responsibility, but as soon as you need to take any kind of leadership role others will be looking to you to contribute in a manner that is not ad hoc.

Also, you mention research. Research and preparation are synonymous.

Preparation is a huuuuuuge part of being successful in the workplace[1]. Simply showing up just doesn’t cut it.

Part of interviews aren’t even testing skills, but testing prep. Of course, you want to test for innate genetic talent as well.

Good interviews do that, but as with gattaca, we see that desire and sincere interest counts too over genes.

Preparation, sincerity, and genes. That’s what I like to see in potential employee, in that order.

Sometimes, of course, one attribute really outshines the others - but its order in priority should always be factored in.

1. Source: individual who tried just showing up for 75% of his 20 year career.

well,just list the things you do on a weekly basis for a family

- making meals - driving kids - laundry - grocery and other shopping - picking up - finances and planning

I think all of these are ripe for (more) disruption.
