It's a per-server setting. Ranges from phone verification to email verification to minimum account age.

As siblings have said, his video series are quite good. But if you're just looking at this repo only, you probably want to look at the python reference implementation. (The C is designed to exactly replicate its functionality.)

There is an ex-pro FPS player that has aphantasia (reports no visualizations either intentional or intrusive) and I would really like to see one of these studies talk to him one time. It seems like an interesting extreme case to poke at.

Those few bits are the difference between a keylogged password holder waltzing in and an automated monitor noticing that someone is failing the token check and locking the account before any damage occurs.

> none of them have issues understanding when someone is speaking

This isn't it at all. It's the first part that's the issue. It's not that I can't understand speech, it's I can't focus on having a conversation increasingly as the number of chaotic elements increase.

There's loud(ish) background noise, there's people moving around, there's the uncomfortable feeling of strangers nearer to me than I would optimally like. And so I've realized in my younger attempts to fit in that I couldn't relax and have a good time and talk to people because of some of those things, because they felt to me like immediate urgent things and the conversation while I would like to have it is not getting priority.

A similar thing happens in larger group contexts, more people is more mental overhead, and additionally there's an element of not knowing how to take a turn in group conversation because I either lack an appropriate referent to relate or I don't know when my turn is.

By the time I have both something to say and can pay attention to turn taking the conversation has already moved on and I have to start over.

But neurotype is definitely a strong element in it, both in interests and somehow in things like conversational turn-taking as well. It also helps that a lot of conversations end up happening in text for me, turn-taking isn't an issue when you can both type at the same time.

A very good read.

My conflict management skills are not very good. I take heart in the wisdom that it is possible to reach past hostility and work together. Just as I hope people reach past the ick and read his words on their own merit and not react to them how they are "supposed" to react.

Please note, he says "he has never gotten a job by applying", not that he has never applied to jobs.

My ratio isn't 100% but being referred or (in older times) called first have probably been the better experiences in my experience.

There is no excuse for not sending a no.

Recruiters this day are using one of a dozen or so recruiting platforms, all of which either have or ought to have functionality that tracks communications.

"Slipping through the cracks" isn't the issue. The issue is a lack of professionalism and diligence, which aren't things I want to see from someone that is going to filter out future employees.

the absolute problem for me personally is the lack of social scene, i don't actually remember the last time i talked to anyone single, even at the few parties i forced myself to go to.

Why does it just have to be America? RU/CN landmasses also huge for catching things, and if we aren't trying to talk about it openly they may not be either for similar reasons.

For entertainment, consider that the Cold War could have been about finding intact UAPs, at least in some of the scuffles.

> Republican-leaning and Democratic-leaning counties differ in ways other than political party affiliation, such as racial and ethnic composition, rurality, and educational levels, making it difficult to establish whether the differences in COVID-19 death rates are associated with political party affiliation or other differences in county-level characteristics.

So are they hoping people just read the article title, go "heh!", and not think if there's a valid metric or correlation at play?

> Research before the COVID-19 pandemic has also found evidence of higher death rates in Republican-leaning counties than Democratic-leaning counties.

So they found nothing new?

VRChat is still the gold standard of VR experiences.

VR is still a bit niche and only VRC actually offers an easy road to creating experiences - it's way easier to get novelty junkies on VRC to checkout a world than to try to sell or market a standalone experience. Probably easiest to just run a patreon at these levels than actually sell games, too.
