Recently got my tech license, it wasn't that difficult. In an emergency it's permissable to use cheap radios that do not confirm to GMRS/FRS rules on those frequencies.
South side Chicago does not look like Flint. The streets are tree-lined, the worst buildings are boarded up, the houses are solid and most of them are brick bungalows. Many tens of thousands of people live there. The worst neighborhoods, like Englewood, are still kept up, and they're bracketed by middle-class neighborhoods like Chatham --- you might not feel comfortable in Chatham, especially if you're from lily-white Startuplandia, but it's a real neighborhood.
South side Chicago is bad in a lot of ways --- it's a direct result of decades of overt racial segregation, and crime is absolutely out of control --- but it isn't Flint.
A better analog would be Gary, Indiana (for people who don't know Chicagoland, Gary is a southeast suburb of Chicago).
Fair point. I've lived in Chicago for most of my life, but to be fair I only know about Flint from the articles I've read so I don't have first-hand experience to compare.
Gary definitely seems like a good comparison the more I read about Flint.
I used to live right next to Robbins. Robbins isn't the most pleasant place in Chicago, but it's nothing resembling Flint- bad either. It's more like a low-income Texas town.
I was born and raised in the town next to Robbins. My family still lives there. Robbins is the worst of many notorious, small, south-side suburbs (Markham, Harvey, Phoenix, etc.). It is next to an oil refinery. It has an abandoned incinerator. And plenty of other nasty corporations covering the place in pollutants. You will find plenty of burned down houses not closed off, etc. It just gets worse and worse:
Can already do this with a single thread using epoll. In fact, even a simple epoll implementation can handle 1M HTTP requests in ~30 seconds on a single thread juggling 10k connections.
What he saying is this: he knows a grand total of 0 people whose accounts have been hacked because their password was too simple. It's almost always something else. Yet password management only seems to become more complex and cumbersome over time.
And it's not even debatable that major apps, sites, and operating systems ranging from Google Maps to Firefox to iOS have grown suckier and suckier over the last few years. This isn't old-man-yelling-at-cloud stuff -- it would easily show up in usability studies, if the companies involved actually ran valid usability studies. When I encounter the same daily frustrations as my non-computer-geek friends, something's wrong. That never used to happen.
Right now everything is being done by hand, so it's totally configurable. But I imagined email addresses would be redacted, yes.
It brings up an interesting point, though - perhaps something that ranked the various components of a resume would be more useful. Rather than simply redacting the email, for instance, I could assign it a value based on the respectability of the domain and the applicant's choice of username.
School could similarly be ranked by some objective score (which might provide the added anti-bias measure of anonymizing presumed nationality). Work could be reduced to number of years in a given industry, at least for the purpose of a once-over of your candidates.
