This type of rating system is always disappointing. Candidates and interviewers each have different ideas of what expertise means -- I guess because there is no real context around the question. Maybe it's a trope to say, but it seems like competence and likelihood to rate oneself an expert are inversely correlated (barring hubris or real expertise!).
I used to ask candidates to rate themselves from 1-10, e.g., in database performance analysis, and often would get people rating themselves a 9 or a 10 without being able to articulate anything about the topic. It just seems very meaningless, since we were going to have a discussion anyway -- and the conversational part of the interview is more revealing, in any case.
I usually find that (within a broad range of capability) someone's actual knowledge on a given topic is inversely correlated with their self-rating on a 1-10 scale.
I’ve found some companies use the rating systems to tailor interviews to your strengths by providing descriptions at each level (e.g. “10 means you wrote the book about it”). It’s not always useless.
I personally never experienced it myself. But I can imagine it being useful in a relativistic sense.
For example if the candidate puts 9 for PHP and 5 for Haskell, you can get the rough idea what language they prefer or are more comfortable in using. You are not comparing these ratings against other candidate's ratings.
In VMC you still have a responsibility to see and avoid, regardless of whether you're on an instrument flight plan or not. (Ref: Regulation 14 CFR Part 91.113 (b))
Radar coverage has become ubiquitous in most places, but there's not universal coverage. Heads-up time is very important unless you're flying in actual IMC.
Refer to ICAO Annex 11 - it's not the exact point being made by the GP, but note that traffic separation for IFR traffic from VFR traffic is only provided in Class A, B and C airspace.
The sun is 99.86% of the mass of our solar system and is quite average. [1]
Dark matter is ~27% of the mass of the observable universe. [2]
Are you claiming that exoplanets and asteroids represent 27% of the mass of the universe when a typical G-type star (not particularly massive, by any means) is almost 100% of the mass of our entire solar system?
I'm confused by your assertion - you either have some data I am lacking, have entirely made up your post, or are, yourself, confused.
Note that 27% is of the total mass and energy, where ~68% consists of dark energy. If you ignore dark energy and just look at matter, dark matter is about 85% of the total. Which is pretty crazy! We have no real idea what 5/6ths of the stuff in the universe actually is!
It's very easy to look at Alphabet's financials and see that there are no preferred or common shareholder dividends. Since you haven't done that, I presume you are genuinely curious.
There are probably a lot of reasons that people invest in corporations that don't pay a dividend. The "most obvious" is that you believe the company is growing. The organization will reinvest in itself -- instead of paying you a dividend -- and increase share price to a degree greater than you would have gotten with a quarterly dividend.
Do you know of any resources or tips to improve skimming skills? I am impressed that you can skim a book in a minute (even skimming a sentence or two per chapter might take longer than that for me).
I've been trying to improve my reading speed - I feel like it's actually degraded over time - but I don't know that I am making much progress.
I guess just read a lot of books, and keep doing it for several years. I learned to read when I was four, so I can't really remember, but I don't think I've gotten any faster since I was 16 or so. At that time I think I read for at least one hour, more or less every night.
I was surprised that the researchers were able to obtain keys quickly with most of these methods and, apparently, with other processes running on the machine (though, in the case of the acoustic, "coil whine", attack, they acknowledge that a non-idle machine results in reduced signal fidelity).
Does anyone know how they are able to take spectral analyses of, e.g., em signals, and turn them into data? I imagine the software is fairly complex. I'm not sure how I'd even approach this kind of problem!
Yes, of course. The poster is sharing information that shaped their opinion. The location is irrelevant.
In such an informal setting, the quality and worth of the source are up to the consumer; particularly when it is such a simple investigation. Do you trust or distrust the source? That belief guides your consumption of the poster's opinion.
I like both "A Tour of C++" by Stroustrup and "Effective Modern C++" by Scott Meyers. Though, the latter is a bit dense if you are unfamiliar with c++.
Aren't there a lot of protections for these loans? I thought they could not be discharged through bankruptcy, et cetera. My intuition is that this would reduce risk; seems a bit odd.
I spend a lot of time working in databases and this has been a huge quality of life improvement over ssms and related tools.
