OTA just seems like such an inconvenient waste of time and resources now. It doesn't help that you need a licence for it in the UK, but even if it was free, it seems like it is easier to just pirate the small amount of stuff that is worth watching. And these days that is approaching zero, and what there is can be streamed anyway.
Sounds like *you* have a chip on your shoulder!
You literally said a master's degree is one strike against a candidate and a PhD is 2.
The strikes against these developers aren't *my* doing.
They are literally, purely your choice. The strikes are entirely 100% your doing.
You've got a bunch of largely bogus reasoning about why you have those strikes, but you're still requiring people with masters or PhDs to prove themselves extra hard, which is precisely bias.
The sensible, non-chip-on-your-shoulder attitude would be that for developers, a PhD doesn't make any difference (assuming general dev not some niche specialism), which is something I'd generally agree with.
But that's not your attitude.
So what I have noticed is not due to a prejudice, it's simply a correlation I have observed.
You've built a prejudice based around preconceived notions, selection bias and small sample sizes and now you're in a feedback loop.
Maybe you ought to go back to uni and get a masters in stats or something like that...
Republicans shut up about states rights.
Republicans have always been hypocritical about states' rights.
Abortion was a states' rights issue until RvW was overturned, and suddenly they wanted a national ban.
They want the Feds to overturn state-level pot legalization, ban sanctuary cities, etc.
a few lawyers have been sanctioned for using AI to create briefs. On the surface, the briefs seemed fine but the cases cited did not exist or was not related to the case.
That was three years ago, which is an eon in AI terms.
There have been vast advances since then.
Maybe you missed the last sentence of the first paragraph
No, I read it. You have a chip on your shoulder the size of the moon. Higher degrees aren't a disadvantage.
The few that come for interviews, that have an MS degree--they get the same chance everybody else does
You said the mere existence of a higher degree was strikes against. That's not "the same chance".
My statement is merely an observation of a pattern I've observed, not a statement of a "chip on my shoulder."
The pattern is you despise higher degrees.
Earth knows who this man is,
I mean mostly from the incessant whinging of MAGAts on slashdot which is an american centric site to a large degree.
We have vaccines that will not only protect individuals from getting infected and getting seriously ill..."
Yeah and? We say "prevent" lots of times when we don't mean 100% guarantee. I wear a hard had, steelies and safety glasses on site to prevent injuries. I wear a seatbelt to prevent myself face planting the road in the event of a crash. I wear a bike helmet when I ride because I don't want a TBI because it will prevent my skull from hitting the road directly.
None of these are 100% guarantees. But I'm not a moron. I don't deal in absolutes. Butting chances of something bad down by a huge amount is very worth it.
You have a massive case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that's caused you to forget the meaning of words and how they're used and tried to turn everything into a pro Trump political issue no matter how non political and how, frankly, stupid.
When I interview software engineers, I always say that a master's degree is one strike against the candidate, and a Ph.D. is 2 strikes against the candidate. Some developers are able to overcome these disadvantages, but most do not.
You do realise that an interview is a two way thing? Why not just send out an email "Hey candidate, just to let you know I have a massive chip on my shoulder", and then let them decide if they like your energy or want to bail before wasting a whole day of their and your time.
Other than MBAs, I can't think anyone with a masters...
I don't know how it is now, but in my generation in the UK, a lot of engineers have Master's degrees because to get a professional engineering certification (which I don't have) you don't need need a master's, but you do need some extra education, so many engineers have master's degrees. For a variety of reasons, this was easier to bundle together: I don't even have a batchelor's degree just spent 4 years and got a master's.
If you don't know something, you should be able to quickly teach yourself. A PhD means you can say you are the world's leading expert in something very narrow, and you were the the first person to find/discover/explain/prove/etc. something new. Very cool!
In principle... I've known (and tried to supervise; some people are entertainingly impervious) PhDs ranging from brilliant to below mediocre. They all graduated eventually. I'm going to say very much like the undergrad and master's degrees, "it depends".
The main reason that Israel supported Hamas is because the more moderate Palestinian politicians wanted a two state solution.
Much of the problem could be fixed if the police simply learned not to do what the computer tells them, and think it through first.
I think you're asking a lot from PC Plod. Thinking, that is.
The problem is that he is an artist and needs to keep making money to get opportunities like this, so when critics pan his work and audiences react negatively, he feels the need to defend his decisions.
It sounds like he ripped off those people who take a podcast, add AI slop images, and upload a video to YouTube.
The problem is Israel. Israel is everything the US claims to oppose Iran for.
- Nuclear armed, with the ability to deliver those warheads to Europe and beyond.
- The world's biggest state sponsor of terrorism.
- An existential threat to every other nation in the region, constantly attacking and invading them.
- Openly genocidal, has the means to actually do it, and is doing it.
- Abuses its own people.
If Israel wasn't based by the US and European nations, if we didn't tolerate Israel violating international law every single day for decades, Iran wouldn't be the problem that it is.
If the fees are lower than the cost of mitigating the problems it causes, they will probably just pay.
Trump and Netanyahu have opened a can of worms here. Iran is now looking at what else it can tax, since it's become apparent that the US can't actually win and Iran does in fact have the upper hand.
The most powerful military in the world is of little use if the political will isn't there.
If you use BitLocker similarly to how you use VeraCrypt, this vulnerability does not affect you.
The most common mode for Bitlocker is the automatic mode, where the drive is encrypted and Windows loads the key at boot time without any interaction. It's transparent to the user, most people probably don't even know it's enabled. It uses the computer's TPM to store the key, which is only released when Secure Boot confirms that the OS has not been tampered with.
It stops an attacker accessing files by booting Linux or removing the drive, or at least it is supposed to. The idea is that if you don't know the Windows password, you can't log in to access anything, but as this guy discovered you can just go into the recovery environment which doesn't need a user account. The drive is unlocked at boot as normal.
It does seem to be some kind of massive screw up at the very least. Windows 10 made you log in for the recovery environment, but for some reason it changed with 11.
If you set a BitLocker password that needs to be entered at boot, similar to how VeraCrypt works, this bypass doesn't work.
With a GDP of $300 billion
That is nominal GDP based on a very weak currency.
In PPP terms, Iran's GDP is about $1.2T, about the same as that of Illinois or the Netherlands.
