This is the same thing that happened to me with an Expensify interview back in 2011. After that, I decided to only do interviews in person, or where the person was on a call with me. Take home tests are not worth the risk of this crap.


I think most of these companies do do the server side properly. There are plenty of hacks that just make a client play ungodly well. Like macros, aimbots, cooldown tracking, auto-hex


I'm not sure about that first part, some of the biggest games like gtav is an embarrassment in the concept of never trust the client.


GTA V is an exception because it's so easy to cheat in. I believe it's peer-to-peer with no verification among peers that what happened should actually have happened. It's basically impossible to secure that.


I suppose that was an intentional choice, I can imagine running the amount of worlds that GTA has (iirc you only have up to 32 or so players in a world? Something like that) doesn't scale well cost-wise. IDK if AWS and co were up for the task yet back when. But since you earn in-game currency, not having a central authority check these things is... an interesting choice.

I suspect GTA VI may improve on these things and have centralised/dedicated/anti-cheat-guaranteed servers. Then again, it never impacted their profit margins so idk.


naver mail is good. kakao talk too


ive used uber in seoul many times


I am in the same exact situation.


No twitter?

I have a very old account with a 4 letter username. I used it sparingly for years. I had made my profile pic the same as Trump and wrote proud cuckold & 45th president of the US during the election as a joke. The background was Trump golfing in unflattering photos. I lost access to the email address I created the account (I still have the email address name, the account password, nothing else has changed) because the recovery email was from college.

They may have sent me a warning to that address, but I have never seen it. My account was permanently suspended. I wish I could just go in and delete the existing content / make a normal profile page / fix whatever is offensive.

Elon had said there would be 1 time amnesty for all suspended accounts, but it never happened. I appealed at least 5 times over the years, but it was always upheld. I would pay for that account back.


> It cannot cost that much to start a vet clinic

In 2011 it was around a million according to one article I read. I'm guessing it's way more now.


The Google seems to put that at the high end estimate. A vet clinic is still, even so, orders of magnitude cheaper to start than a hospital, and veterinarians don’t make orders of magnitude less than doctors.

I expect that PE won’t be able to push it too far before vets just start their own practices much like doctors are doing.


>veterinarians don’t make orders of magnitude less than doctors.

Um, Excuse me? Yes, they most certainly do.

https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/veterinarians.htm

>The median annual wage for veterinarians was $119,100 in May 2023

https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/physicians-and-surgeons.h...

>Wages for physicians and surgeons are among the highest of all occupations, with a median wage equal to or greater than $239,200 per year.

You have no idea what you're talking about.


Do you know what the phrase “order of magnitude” means? Half is not an order of magnitude so your math proves my statement correct. From wikipedia: “ Orders of magnitude are used to make approximate comparisons. If numbers differ by one order of magnitude, x is about ten times different in quantity than y. If values differ by two orders of magnitude, they differ by a factor of about 100.”

I will excuse you, despite your rudeness, but next time Google the phrase you don’t understand before accusing someone else of ignorance and then going on to show them they are correct and that you don't know what simple terms mean.


maybe you're just allergic to glyphosate, not wheat. glyphosate is in pretty much everything now


This might be true for people in general, but people who have been diagnosed with Celiac disease are definitely allergic to wheat.


https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3945755/ "Glyphosate, pathways to modern diseases II: Celiac sprue and gluten intolerance"

Here, we propose that glyphosate is the most important causal factor in this [celiac disease and gluten intolerance] epidemic.


Don’t forget this awesome quote: “However, a recent paper (Samsel & Seneff, 2013), argued that glyphosate may be a key contributor to the obesity epidemic and the autism epidemic in the United States, as well as to several other diseases and conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, infertility, depression, and cancer.”

It’s causing all the bad things? That would be amazing if true, unfortunately it sounds unlikely (chiropractic comes to mind) and the rest of the science world doesn’t believe these authors.

If the graphs in the paper seem compelling, make sure to spend some time here: https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations


Did you read the paper? My guess is no.

Classic HN, references a paper as if the conclusions are fact and all references are equivalent.

This is a paper where the authors did no experiments of their own, just put forth a hypotheses.

The lead author is an “independent scientist”.

Suffice to say I’d be very suspect of the conclusions drawn.


> The lead author is an “independent scientist”.

The other one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephanie_Seneff


Ooph…

“In 2011, she began publishing controversial papers in low-impact, open access journals on biology and medical topics; the articles have received "heated objections from experts in almost every field she's delved into,"”


Not wheat, gluten

edit: for the downvotes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coeliac_disease

> where individuals develop intolerance to gluten

> Coeliac disease is caused by a reaction to gluten

> While the disease is caused by a permanent intolerance to gluten proteins,[10] it is distinct from wheat allergy, which is much more rare


Not even gluten, one of the peptides it is composed of. Prolamins like gliadin, horadin, etc. depending on the grain. This is why gluten denaturing proteases aren't sufficient to protect a celiac, and thus some technically GF foods aren't necessarily safe.


My impression has been that the real problems are:

1. The enzymes are not yet well tested.

2. Most enzymes one might purchase are subject to the extremely weak US supplement labeling laws and thus cannot be trusted.

In any case, there’s an enzyme combo working its way through the FDA process right now:

Interesting! Tell me more! Do you have any sources where I can read more about this?


I have celiac disease. When I eat foods that contain gluten or a similar protein, avenin, it triggers an immune reaction which causes inflammation and damage in my intestines. It's not an allergy, it's not a wheat allergy, it's not a glyphosate allergy. You may keep your uninformed opinion.


It's not just inline styles. Idk why so many people comment on these threads with no experience using the framework.


I've been doing CSS for 20 years, Tailwind indeed lives up to the hype. Just the fact that amount of CSS code you need to send down the wire stops scaling linearly with each new component is a big benefit in its own right.
