I'd say dancing alone while everyone else watches can be a high status thing. Think Tom Cruise in tropic thunder, he was the only one dancing was he low status?
That was 51 years ago at about a trillion spent a year since. Have any examples from the 21st century? Keep in mind they also essentially lost every war they fought during that time as well.
If it was such a big deal, why did they wait to publish it in a book about a guy who will never see elected office again? They do this a lot and it damages their credibility.
Also, the current guy is not exactly that sharp, or improving with age, either. But age seems to no longer be of interest to the press.
Asthma inhalers (at least, some types) are available over the counter here.
As far as I know, only "narcotics" (opiates, psychostimulants...) require regular check-ins (due to byzantine legislation) - but even that's been worked around with one-click refill requests and telehealth.
The types available over the counter are unsafe for long term use and frankly worse in every way compared to the one you need a doctors permission to purchase.
You need a established relationship to access one click refill and telehealth, they will tell you to come in after a time.
Back before the days that you could do almost everything over internet but cell phones still existed I had to go to a business to do some transactions on a pretty regular basis. Unfortunately they also were required to answer calls during all that and it was very interruptive. Eventually I realized they had only two lines so I'd call in and ask to be put on hold, then ask the guy behind the counter for his cell and call in and ask to be put on hold again.
Judges in PA were just selling kids to private prisons.
"Ciavarella disposed thousands of children to extended stays in youth centers for offenses as trivial as mocking an assistant principal on Myspace or trespassing in a vacant building.[3] After a judge rejected an initial plea agreement in 2009,[4][5] a federal grand jury returned a 48-count indictment.[6] In 2010, Conahan pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy and was sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison.[7] Ciavarella opted to go to trial the following year. He was convicted on 12 of 39 counts and sentenced to 28 years in federal prison.[8] Conahan, who had been released to home confinement in 2020, had his sentence (due to end in 2026) commuted in 2024 by President Joe Biden."
Thousands of innocent kids in cages, and Mr. Biden actually pardoned that judge as a "nonviolent offender". I think I'll never forget that particular pardon, the obscenity of it. It, just, inverts the ideals behind the reform movements, turns them upside-down in mockery.
His constituents petitioned him about the crooked jails, and... Biden heard them; and freed the jailer.
He was already on house arrest and was going to be free of that by 2026.
The willingness to take the optics hit to allow him a little more freedom, a little earlier makes me question what everyone else is leadership is doing, they must really relate to him.
Pardons like that one really fuel the conspiracy theories about how many executive actions in the Biden admin, particularly toward the end, were really carried out by the former President.
I think the best interview question, and really the only one you need to determine technical ability is ask someone to describe a http request in as much detail as possible.
To write code (even with the benefit of AI) effectively you need a mental model of the systems you work with, reading the chatGPT response doesn't prove you have that.
Yes, technical interview questions should be relevant to the job field. What's your point?
The hard part is selecting good questions that act as reliable predictors of actual job performance. Very few hiring managers can do that reliably, although many fool themselves into believing that they can.
The point is that someone gave a specific example of the much more general concept of probing for mental model by way of detailed explanation of a process he ought to be familiar with. You objected to the specific details - knowledge of HTTP. That's not an indictment of the general approach.
That said ML models have gotten to the point where I'd have to disagree with OP that this approach will necessarily filter their use. However there are plenty of available mitigations, from latency of response to requiring a video feed that fully covers the candidate, his screen, and his keyboard.
The "what happens when I enter facebook.com in the browser and hit enter" is/was a well-known FAANG question a few years back so I would expect that all the LLMs are well versed in it, as will be NK infiltrators
Good luck blue cross.
