I am curious as to what you mean by this.

Sure it isn't your "job" and nothing bad may happen to you. Just as nothing bad will happen to you if you berate a small child without reason.

Even if there is no punishment or heaven/hell, and there are not legal issues, that doesn't mean you should not be a kind person.

If it doesn't cost you anything and it will make the life of your employer (or a complete stranger for that matter), I suggest you go ahead and do it.

I don't have an argument for why. I assume as a fellow human being you just see that it is a good (TM) thing.
To many people with certain political leanings, that's just fine.

If your boss is a great person, you probably know about it even if they get put in a bad way by the company and that's got consequences for you.

If you're getting no respect back for the respect you put in, and you're not quitting despite your boss, the distinction is immaterial.

> One of the largest problems towards this is the 40 year smear campaign that neoliberals have been on against unions. Somehow they got the working class to believe that each special individual is better on his own when bargaining against a massive corporation.

There's a great book about this effort called Selling Free Enterprise: The Business Assault on Labor and Liberalism, 1945-60.

edit: Here's a snippet from the summary: "In Selling Free Enterprise, Elizabeth Fones-Wolf describes how conservative business leaders strove to reorient workers away from their loyalties to organized labor and government, teaching that prosperity could be achieved through reliance on individual initiative, increased productivity, and the protection of personal liberty."
>This is an article about medical tourism.

Precisely. Which is why I found the article's repeated attempts to conflate refugees and tourists to be so transparently disingenuous. Those political comparisons are completely orthogonal.

It has been more than a little educational to ride the F5 key and watch the karma on my original post bounce like a pogo stick!
While that's valid, it's possible an outside organization could do that themselves. IANAL, so there may be regulations in place relating to apprenticeships, etc. on the matter, but it seems like trade organizations could do this.

I own an iPhone now but had a BlackBerry for a few years.

I still miss the keyboard. I miss being able to write longer emails on the bus/subway without stumbling on predictive text.

I miss that the little flashing indicator light on the device that told me that I have mail.

The BlackBerry was good at the things it was good at, but that was also the reason it couldn't grow beyond that. It was a specialist, and specialists by definition have more limited appeal than generalists. The keyboard was pleasure to use but it also halved the screen real estate and had to be customized to each geography (e.g. non-QWERTY keyboard layouts).

The 95% return rate has been kept up in more recent times even if the 1-2kr deposit has become less incentive due to price increases as they added a lottery option to all the machines. [1]

So instead of collecting your deposit, you can now click a button to see if you win a price (up to 1 million NOK), and if you lose you donate it to the Red Cross.

I remember as a kid in the 80s collecting bottles at events etc, back when a bottle of Coke was 6kr so the 1 kr deposit made a difference. I feel happy these days to press the donate button though when I am in the country.

Would people who are advocates of a “pay for what you use” system be fine with being taxed by miles driven? Have a yearly inspection of your car for both safety concerns as a variety of states do, and also record the odometer at that point. Tax miles driven, and also multiply that a lot for vehicles that directly contribute to more maintenance on the roads, like semi trucks.

It will increase costs for shipping by truck, but would it also better reflect the true costs of what it costs to ship by truck, drive on highways, etc?
Not quite sure what you're asking here. Could you clarify? Happy to try to answer based on our data.

There was only 1 actual YCA batch last year. The other companies that participated in the program did so in more of an adhoc fashion - basically using the advice and knowledge we're building for their own raises.

Is the cost of doing these remote reads worth the savings in this case ? After all to be correct, they need to run in the same transaction at the sending side and need to be persisted at the receiving side. Also, consider the effort if this gets scaled up to 10 cases (each node would have to do 9 remote reads)

I have had some amazing learning experiences from watching someone live code. When the intention is to show people how to actually go about the act of coding itself then it makes sense to do so with a live demo. In the cases that worked for me the live coding was very much a performance; a scripted lecture that combined theory and implementation with a little room for questions.

Unless the context is a coding lesson, though, I agree that live coding is unnecessary and somewhat stressful to watch. It's like watching someone swallow a sword, I don't want to see it go poorly.
Sorry are you saying the rates that are negotiated by insurance companies are too low to cover the actual costs of the hospital? That still doesn't explain where the money is going and why healthcare is so expensive. Why would the hospitals' costs be so high?
I'd be completely okay with cars for disabled people, deliveries, and people who have to transport a lot of stuff like tools for their job. But >90% of all cars on the road are driven by able-bodied people with nothing but themselves to transport.

1. Exactly. The biggest reason to leave without notice is to make management pay attention to the quality of life of your now-former coworkers.

2. Taking the high road would be giving employees at your corporation notice. Giving notice to an employee that doesn't give notice is fear-driven, codependent conformism.

3. I'm old. The world is fucking huge.

4. If you want to leave on good terms, leave on good terms. But don't just do it because it's expected. Otherwise it gets taken for granted, and is not reciprocated.

IMHO I think with all the money we save on road maintenance, cities would start should look at ways to improve sidewalks. One interesting improvement might be some way to cover them like is done in parts of Seattle or Las Vegas.
Depends I suppose, I don't have any real data aside from my own experience. I've had some companies give previous employers a call (especially in regulated industries), some don't seem to care. They always ask though.
The problem with "nobody gets anything" is that it's unworkable in the long run and sooner or later someone decides to just ignore the rules with popular support. See How Democracies Die for a book length treatment but I believe that's an uncontroversial statement about the political science consensus.

I'm not saying it's temperance that keeps the US together (except for the first 8 years) but rather tradition. Long standing institutions tend to amass legitimacy over time.

It's not so much that we have a larger country these days as that we have ideologically distinct parties. We had real ideological distinctions between the Democractic Republicans and the Federalists in the old days and in addition to what you mention there were people considering a military coup if the election of 1800 went the wrong way. Thankfully the Federalists imploded and for a long time parties were mostly patronage machines, though you did have the pro-science, pro-religion, pro-treating other races with respect party versus the pro-freedom, pro-small government, pro-treating other religions with respect party as sort of vague ideologies. Except for the bit where they polarized over slavery and we immediately had a civil war. After progressive reforms made patronage less of an issue the two parties were both still ideologically mixed until the South defected to the Republicans and things have been polarizing ever since.

Right now we're in a situation where the most conservative Democrat in Congress is more liberal than the most liberal Republican, a situation that is basically unprecedented. I don't expect the current system to break soon, hundreds of years of tradition is pretty resilient, but if the current level of partisan divide and constitutional hardball continues it will break down eventually.
While I generally agree, I can imagine that there are some people out there that have been treated so poorly by their bosses, that they either feel it would not be a productive conversation, or they are just flat out afraid of their bosses reaction (and rightly so), or (as in the case of the article) they feel that extreme action is the only course of action that get their point across. Although, to that last point, one of the bosses at my job (but not my department) is like that, and he still cannot figure out why people up and quit on him, even though he's just a complete shit-head. I must admit to a enjoying healthy dose of schadenfreude whenever it happens.
> The MAGA story wasn't fake news. The kids were there to stir up controversy

Are you nuts? The kids were standing there exercising their very american right to peacefully assemble and exercise their free speech. Then the counterprotesters crashed the kids' gathering and started chanting right in the face of those kids trying to draw a reaction specifically for the cameras. The only reaction that the activists managed to draw were grins from a random kid and somehow that's enough for the media to cherry-pick footage to vilify a political movement that is supported by the majority of americans and in the process ruin a kid's life.

In who's mind is this ok?

> about abortion rights and wore MAGA hats because they knew it would be inflammatory.

Whether you like it or not, a large number of americans (if not the majority) do hold those opinions, and if you expect to live in a free and open democracy you don't get to fabricate hit pieces in the form of fake news to vilify those who don't share your opinion.
The article and headline is about people "flooding into" mexico for dental care. The photo with the article shows people trying to get into the us. There isn't traffic or a wait going into mexico. It was an editorial choice to show that picture.
I read about a half dozen news articles including from CNN, NBC, and Washington Post on this.

None of them make clear the fact that these workers will receive back pay after the shutdown whether they work or not.

The IRS.gov has a FAQ site [1] which says that they will get back pay, and they will have to repay any unemployment benefits taken when that happens, even if they claim a hardship exemption.

This to me changes the story. Claim the exemption and you can work in the gig economy and get paid twice. Or go back to work and wait to get paid when the shutdown is over. I can see why so many are choosing to claim the exemption.

Roads are finite so you need some way to ration them.

I suppose you could say current rationing is first come, first serve? That seems to lead to congestion so it seems to me we could do better.

You're right, I'm not sure a regressive tax is the best way. Is it worse than the current system though? What would be a better system?

> ... if I had the information about which % of that money went to actual equipment and patient services

That wouldn't give you the whole picture on waste. A big chunk of high health care costs is hidden inside the equipment and patient services. American hospitals have a habit of doing things in much more expensive ways than is strictly necessary.
Their algorithmic crawlers go over everything you upload to your Drive, however their promise is that data does not flow to advertisers or people who do not have access to the document.

Analogies compare to dissimilar things with common attributes, and it is up to you to figure out what the common attributes are. Not the dissimilarities.

I think there is some utility to these comparisons, as they are orthogonal, the hyperbole drives the point home.
Imo the author isn't saying that live coding talks can't be high-quality or even 'magical' - just pointing out that the practice is more likely to detract from a presentation than improve it.
There are a lot of caveats, good live coding demos seem share some of the same properties:

- the presentation is focused on the experience around writing the code. Debugging, tooling, etc. No, I don't want to see you fumble around coding. Yes, I do want to see you interact with your tools and libraries and help me learn something in the process.

- the presentation is polished and the presenter knows every single line by heart (and have complete files they can just cp into to place if needed).

- concepts of what we are going to see are established in the presentation before they are demo'd.

- as always, having the video backup won't hurt in case of network or other dependency failures. If your demo is busted and you can't recover in 30 seconds, bail. Your audience gets it and will thank you.
If you're just going to show a video, why not skip the whole presentation and just make a video? The whole point of a presentation is to be able to read the room, slow down or clarify points, and to respond to feedback in real time.

Android is happening. The plugins issue is hopefully something we can resolve...
The problem is far more fundamental. America operates under the premise that crime is a moral failing, and that reducing crime is mostly a matter of strong enough deterrents.

The underlying assumption that logically follows this thinking is that criminals are by choice beyond redemption (essentially enemies of society), and so your best course of action is separating them from the rest of the population. What happens after that is not your concern: out of sight, out of mind.

This mindset is readily apparent in the almost complete lack of societal reintegration services, and the casual use of isolation, despite the ample evidence of how much damage this does.
NPR isn't perfect, but in my experience they're leagues ahead of most other major news outlets.
>Why does it matter at all?

I'm not sure if it does, but the topic was being discussed so I joined in.

>What is so triggering for you about a web page without a depiction of a white person?

I'm not sure if "triggering" is the right word to use, but although I used to think that representation didn't matter (a la skin tone variants in emojis) I now realize that it's a nice gesture to be included in art asset packs and marketing material. Next time someone talks about how they added twelve different versions of a thumbs up asset I'll roll my eyes a little less hard. ;)
Exactly what I was thinking. If you have a system of input data snapshots that's also distributed and highly available, it essentially becomes the database (as far as complexity is concerned).
While I haven't ghosted anyone, if you are sure you will not be able to get an honest reference from them because they were dishonest people, if they say you ghosted them, at least it's clear to anyone asking that there is another side to the story.

Let's say you worked at a Theranos, your options are a) to quit amicably with the real risk they will try to discredit you to protect their reputation, b) stay and become compromised until you are thrown under the bus and fired, or c) cut off all contact and create uncertainty about how much leverage you could have while you move on and rebuild.

Barring martyring yourself as a whistle blower with or without evidence, c) looks pretty good. Looking back viewed through a lens like this, I can say people could even regret not-ghosting some former employers.

I feel it’s a situation that happens because you count on taxis running around.

I can’t otherwise imagine being pregnant and stranded outside at 1am in freezing cold nowhere near other transportation. It still could happen, but you’d call an ambulance to help you out.
Here is a very general description of the system.

The DNA probe has:

- conjugated voltage sensitive dye

- a conjugated reference dye

- a targeting motif

The targeting motif allows it to go into a specific organelle. The ratio of voltage sensitive signal to reference dye signal is used as a read-out. They calibrated and confirmed the probe by inducing artificial membrane potential changes and seeing if the read-out signal correlates.

It's a cool system.
Even allowing players to zoom out would give huge advantages, that's why no matter the screen size you have to play at the same zoom. There was a bug at one point that allowed players to play multiplayer zoomed out and it was forbidden to use it in competetive games.
It’s called “character.” It does matter. The way I choose to conduct myself is a reflection of me, not a reflection of the failings of those with whom I deal. Treating everyone as you wish to be treated is good policy even if they don’t do the same for you.
Article Summary: 2PC is not infallible, therefore, never use 2PC.

What he should have said: People often engineer thinking 2PC will never fail. In reality it can, and if you use 2PC in a certain way you can also exacerbate the issue (distributed transactions). Instead, you should make the surface area in 2PC as small as possible to minimize impact of a failed 2PC. In addition, you are probably not monitoring for failures. Start doing that.

Rust is usually rubbed off when the brakes are engaged. Buildup on any vehicle is only really an issue when the vehicle sits undriven for long periods of time.

In EVs the brakes are engaged, just less frequently and with less force. For example in a normal car when you depress the brake pedal gently to slow to a normal stop the brakes engage immediately. In an EV the regenerative braking force increases when you depress the brake pedal and only after it has hit 100% do the brakes engage.

So with an ICE vehicle the brakes are the primary stopping force most of the time where as with an EV they're the secondary stopping force most of the time.
I was going to mention that it is a lot like Rebol and Red in philosophy, but you beat me to it.

Rebol was mostly built by one person (Carl Sassenrath) but has to package the entire interpreter (I think maybe 5 MB) to make an .exe if you have the paid version. Red can already make executables and has made fantastic progress, but it is a larger effort. I check up on Red once a month and think 1.0 will be amazing.
Highest of double standards. There is not a thought to institutional knowledge when layoffs go out.
Why should public transit be paid for by automobiles? Let the users of each service pay for what they consume. Cars pay for roads, maintenance, highway patrol, etc. Public transit users pay for rail, buses, dedicated lanes, etc. Forcing automobile users to pay for public transit obscures the true societal cost of implementing public transit just as much as using tax revenues outside of gas/license taxes for roads obscures the true cost of driving private cars.
