Correct. On a side note, counties here a little bit wonky. I live in Dublin which is about 20 minutes out of Marysville. If you live in Dublin you could be living in one of THREE counties

Having moved to Columbus a couple years ago everyone loved to say that over 60% of the US population is within a one day drive of Columbus. For the Bay Area readers the distance from Cleveland to Columbus is roughly the same as San Francisc

this is a fantastic answer for several reasons and I’m commenting because an upvote alone just doesn’t do it justice. > I also believe your conviction could be turned into your strong asset - you already have a unique and genuine story t

Hah! This got a nice laugh out of me. Can't imagine the number of unique challenges that arise due to DefCon's audience and content. (Not implying bad, just... different. For example fabricating credentials.) I used to host some s

Not only are you correct (I mixed them up), but now I know about steel manning and am a fan. Thanks for the support and understanding - have a wonderful day!

Thanks, you're correct on all counts. Labor day. The tests are "available" but not available anywhere nearby for us. PCR only (maybe they're actually available now, but they weren't then.) Anyways I really need to

Shoot. You're correct. You'd think since my mother went into labor with me on labor day, I'd actually remember it. Thanks.

Crap. Yes I meant Labor day. You'd think since my mother went into labor with me on labor day, I'd actually remember it. That's what I get for posting in the morning. Good catch.

This is correct. No lying was needed (we did do the tests, they were negative, etc.) Only I was forced to alter the documents because the automated systems kept rejecting mine due to my birthday being too close, but outside of the window (a

So… Fun story about how I submitted semi false COVID paperwork in order to gain entry into Italy. In September my wife and I went on a delayed vacation to Italy. At the time they required Covid tests to be completed no more than three days

Smart to use a throwaway. And I personally know someone who violated the “don’t access systems” rule. They were very well liked and they were very quickly fired. I was wondering what the purpose of the oops team was beyond making employees’

So… this will be a useless answer for most and incredibly helpful for a few. The best solution is to know, or befriend, someone who works at Facebook (you’re in the right forum to meet people). The short: FB has an internal team dedicated t

Agreed that this is usually true. Oddly, my wife interviewed with Facebook (~7 years ago), got the “no, but we’ll reach out to you if something comes up“, and 2-3 months later they did. She’s been working there ever since. So well 99% of th

I came here to ask how it was different from OpenBCI. It might end up slightly cheaper. They use the ADS1299 Analog-to-Digital Converter, which is $40 (DACs are usually one of the largest costs of BCIs). So it seems like the all-in cost w
