The cutoff point is not related to how many applicants there are. It's related to how qualified you are. I'm sorry there's no clear answer here. We've all just got to keep applying until we land that job.
Pure hearsay, but apparently ElasticSearch is considerably faster than OpenSearch. Would be good to compare the sources again, but I don't see any links to source on elastic.co yet.
The numbers given in my the article are 800k requests in five days for a static file, which is 1.85 requests per second and no database access. It's not even a DDoS by your own description here.
Except that it wasn't their architecture which allowed them to weather this storm: it's Cloudflare's. And the storm is a whopping 1.85 requests per second, all coming from Europe which means this isn't even a DDoS to begin with.
It takes your body around six months to adapt to a ketogenic lifestyle. Your mitochondria have to breed new generations that activate the genes they have for optimally utilizing ketones as fuel. One of the weird side effects of this is building muscle rapidly and the other is muscle fatigue and DOMS nearly disappear completely, enabling you to push yourself much further. Dr. Shawn Baker (a beast of a man and heavy lifter) lives a zero carb lifestyle and holds multiple world records in rowing despite being in his 50s. A personal anecdote I have is that I moved houses a couple weeks ago. After spending an entire day lifting and carrying heavy things I was convinced I would be unable to move from the pain in the morning. (I'm in my 40s.) But after spending a year on a no-carb diet I had a little soreness the next day and then was fine the day after that. I've gotten noticably larger instead of noticeable sorer.
You really do have to reel in your expectations for those first six months but after that your gains take off like a rocketship.
The answer is in the article although the author disparages it: People were able to pay their taxes in Worgl. In effect, people didn't have "free money" so much as they had a tax break. They collected Worgl to offset their taxes while hoarding real money. There is no miracle here.
Anecdotally: I've been taking notes by hand recently after years of taking notes via text file. My personal experience has been a noticeable increase in retention and reduced need to go back to the notes I've taken and refresh my memory. I believe there is some unknown process that leads to improves memorization in the act of writing things down by hand.
In my experience mixing friendship and work is a bad idea. It's hard enough to be cofounders with a friend. I won't recommend adding a power imbalance to that formula.
Just throwing in to back you up: My child becomes unresponsive to most inputs that would ordinarily motivate him (e.g. "Would you like a cookie?") after a certain amount of screentime and becomes pronouncedly agitated should you try to limit screen time (e.g. "It's time to go to school in five minutes. You have to pause the show by then." Cue literal wailing and crying.) When screen time is limited to brief periods (< ~90 minutes) these problems do not manifest.
Humans did not evolve eating vegetables or fruit. Prior to the rise of agriculture a mere 8 - 12 thousand years ago there was very little vegetation in the human diet. Prior to 80 thousand years ago there was virtually none. Humans and their progenitors for at least four million years have existed as hypercarnivores. And that means your genes have been adapted for the vast majority of history to survival on a meat-based diet. Every vitamin, mineral, and nutrient your body needs is found in meat. But the reason I choose not to eat plants is because I'm much much healthier since I tried this way of eating. I have no more acne, no more tiredness during the daytime (despite my continuing insomnia), sharper mental clarity, I no longer get DOMS after working out and can push myself much farther than I could previously, my persistent autoimmune disease (lichen planus) has completely vanished, and most of my gray hairs went away. For the first time in my life I can wake up in the morning and function immediately with no memory or energy problems. (I didn't know that people could wake up and be fully alert immediately upon waking.) And I lost 30 pounds. But probably the best part is that I can eat as much as I want until I'm stuffed and not worry about gaining weight. After nearly 20 years of counting calories I'm so relieved to not worry about it anymore and never need to feel hunger.
Your body has a limited capacity to digest both protein and fats, which are passed in the excrement if you exceed that capacity. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are digested primarily in the stomach from which they are transferred directly to the blood stream, elevating your blood sugar. Your pancreas creates insulin in response to elevated blood sugar which is a hormone that instructs your cells to switch to sugar metabolism. This shuts down fat utilization in the body as your fat cells stop participating in the gluconeogenesis cycle and begin converting sugar into fat. Only after your blood sugar returns to a normal level can your body switch back to fat metabolism and begin the gluconeogenesis process again and start eliminating body fat. A diet that is nearly entirely devoid of carbohydrates, as nearly everyone's diets were prior to the rise of agriculture on the order of 8 to 12 thousand years ago (which isn't that long ago from an evolutionary perspective) forces your body to run primarily on fat metabolism and combined with the aforementioned capacity limits on protein and fat digestion limits your maximum weight. Previously in human evolution carbohydrates were limited by availability and seasonality. (Good luck finding fruit in the winter.) But the rise of agriculture, industrial agriculture, global trade, and factory-produced processed foods has lead to a scenario where the vast majority of humans find it more convenient to eat their food from a boxed product - consisting primarily of carbohydrates, which again halt fat metabolism and tell your body to begin storing fat instead - and are consequently gaining weight on a pandemic scale. I'm happy to provide references and more information if you like.
>Scientology really has achieved a unique mixture of scale and awfulness.
This is what bothers me about criticism of Scientology. How many wars have been fought in its name? How many nations conquered and people enslaved? I'm an atheist but of all the lousy things done in the name of religions Scientology doesn't even make the top five.
