To me it seems like the main way they "make it harder" is that _other people_ like to talk about them a lot and might be inclined to take intolerances in general (including diagnosed ones) less seriously. Which I don't really understand -- it doesn't hurt me for someone else to avoid eating something, why should I fault them for that?
Granted, but to me those seem like side effects.

The virus has no intentionality in doing them. They're a consequence of replication.

In contrast, I think a much stronger case could be made for a chimpanzee, duck, mosquito, or even amoeba evaluating multiple options, choose one to the exclusion of others, and pursueing it.
I can't understand in what sense you mean. Oxygen is so widespread in the environment that nobody has to expend any energy or resources to produce it, it is just there. Unlike food.

It's a consultation period. The idea is that as much effort as possible should go into avoiding it, such as providing an opportunity for people to take voluntary redundancy, search for positions elsewhere in the company, and so on. While also making sure that people have been selected on a fair basis.

> I wonder how Javascript object system compare to Self, or similar language IO?

It's limited, confusing and muddled, because the prototypal stuff was really there for the ease of implementing an object system (until ES6 the prototype was the red-headed stepchild of the language standards-wise) and ctors were tacked on for familiarity with Java but actual inheritance support (actually supporting JS-level subtypes) was all half-assed and very confusing before ES6. Basically pre-ES6 it was a complete mess unless you used non-standard extensions (e.g. `__proto__`).

ES6 both dramatically surfaced the prototypal inheritance (Object.create, Object.getPrototypeOf, Object.setPrototypeOf, Object.defineProperty) and made it even more of an implementation detail of the "class" syntactic sugar.

Nowadays you can pretty much use JS as a class-based language… and most people do that because frankly it's not worth messing around with the underlying prototypal system, you'll just confuse both your colleagues and your editor.

Well, a client invited me to evaluate PostgreSQL. Strong MSSQL shop, thousands of databases, millions of customers, tens thousands internal users. Big pile of licensing money they were eager to save.

We investigated the options for LDAP and Kerberos integration, commercial and free. Turns out there is no decent way to do it and grant permissions based on LDAP groups. There wasn't even a a half decent way. The only options were way to hackish to consider. MS SQL still own the house.

I'm not sure where the best resources to read are, I studied biology and am going off of existing knowledge.

ALL pathogens if they can penetrate the skin get access to a body and can cause infection. Simple as that.

All pathogens aim for is to harvest your cells. Bacteria and single-cell eucaryote will digest and eat your cells. Viruses will go inside your cells and reprogram cell produce new virus particles.

It is that simple and the easiest way to our bodies is through mucus membranes as they lack skin and are protected by a thin layer of mucus, in other word slime and snot. You have mucus membrane in your aerial pathways in your head as eyes, nose and mouth. Also, your lungs are the huge surface area of mucus membrane.

But if your skin for any reason is ruptured it opens access for any pathogen go in that way. Point is if a pathogen has access to your cells or not. Nothing else. Most infectious diseases first get inside of your body via mucus membranes.

Our skin is not only that last layer of the nonliving layer but consists about few inches of separate layers that in microbiological points are just layers of defense against anything that tries to invade the body. Blood vessels are thin, cell walls that allow white blood cells to move between layers. All layers have little living cells as possible and cell types that are hard to use as food.

So if the skin is only damaged it still gives a fairly difficult pathway to pathogen get on without ending with a good fight. If the skin is fully penetrated the situation is different. That's why all deep penetrations to tissues often cause so severe infections. As whatever pathogen with an arrow, knife blade or bullet get deep in a body where is easy to spread and defenses are low.

Therepautic or medical effects are not the only thing worth noticing.

There is basic sensory experience as well, which might lead to nothing particularly medical.

Being poked at some points feels distinctly different than being poked elsewhere.

One feels like electrical currents along paths in the body, the other does not. Like, as in what a gentle electric shock feels like.

There are other sensations available too. What feels like heat or cold, as well as in some places a strangely magnetic-like effect where it feels like the flesh is being pulled or pushed from a metallic object nearby, and other sensations I'd find difficult to describe such as "a sudden urge to breathe" or "empty feeling in the tummy", or "an uncomfortable jarring sensation" or "awash with light and relief", but they are still quite distinctive and feel undismissable once noticed.

They feel "half imaginary", as they are versions of what's always around but not always so clearly noticed and obvious. Yet definite, very distinct from imagined or visualised feelings. Like the difference between imagining a pinch, versus feeling a real one. (That's not so different from objectively measurable optical and acoustic phenoma - we don't tend to notice subtle variations in data from our environment until we recognise them.)

At least to me.

It is known in acupuncture circles that people feel different things. Even acupuncturists themselves have very different experiences. Some do it by feel in their fingertips or elsewhere; others don't feel anything but do it from knowledge/training.

It may be that "sensitivity" for want of a better term is widely variable. And it may be circumstantial as well, adding reasons to doubt our own subjective sensory data.

But should we declare that the subjective sensation, which seems to make itself strong and obvious to some people, is an entirely meaningless "imaginary" experience?

> And what's with "society today"? When was society any different?

About 20 years speech codes and communication frameworks were mocked openly and treated with scorn (as they should be). Today not so much.

> There are worse things. People take a whole semester course on compilers and most don't use any of that knowledge. The majority of technical courses I took in undergrad were never used for anything at work. The communications workshop has been more valuable than those.

This is a general misunderstanding by people such as yourself why they teach you these things. The first being "this is how this works under the hood" and the second is that many other problems might have similar patterns to them. It teaches you how to think in a particular way and break down problems. But alas this was lost on you.

> And about those bigger problems at work? Try solving them with poor communication.

1) Just speak to people. like adults.
2) Be honest.
3) If someone doesn't seems to know what they mean just say "Does that make sense?" and assume you made an error.

It is very simple.

> Because you have to deal with these people at work. I mean, if you're a solo developer who doesn't work in a team, then your stance is fine. If people don't want to work with you on a project, it becomes your problem. The world isn't going to change to conform to how you thinks adults "should" behave.

It isn't about how I think adults should behave. It how the rest of the world thinks adults should behave. You are there to do a job.

> This is classic way to deny yourself of agency and put the onus on others. I once told a manager of mine to stop using the word "should" - it's a way of saying "I don't want to deal with this - it is someone else's fault".

Not at all. I've accepted there things I can control (myself) and there are things I largely cannot control (other people). You seem to framing this like I go around being verbally abusive to my co-workers.

> And you are willing to disclose this in an interview?

I am a contractor. I am brought in to do specific jobs. I don't spend years working at the same place. If I don't like it somewhere I just don't extend the contract.

I also don't particular respect lifers and company men. But I tend to keep that to myself.

That's more of a Japanese cultural thing though -- lifetime employment but also lifetime service.
I feel like there's an argument to be made for having an actual human monitoring large transactions. If you're trying to take out a $600,000 mortgage at 3 AM on a Sunday, that probably shouldn't go through, or at the very least have some human verification. Humans tend to work 9-5 Monday to Friday

Here we see the danger in imparting real meaning to the component words of backronyms generated to be the short, easily-pronounced names of government-administered benefits.

The legislation was not created to support the name. The name and description was generated as shorthand, advertisement, and propaganda for the legislation.

The reason it is not intended to pay 100% of your food bill is not because it's "supplemental", but because some legislators are rabidly anti-entitlements, and any proposal to meet 100% of a family's food needs (by any particular measurement of that need) has a greater likelihood of being a dead-end bill that never becomes law.

As long as there is some question over how much should be covered, the anti-entitlement legislators can hope to reduce the benefit in the future, even as the pro-entitlement legislators can hope to increase it. That is the reason why it does not cover 100% of the median recipient's food bill. 100% does not get enough votes.

It's not because it's "supplemental". It's because our government has to accommodate rich anti-socialists who would prefer that some people go hungry over paying an additional dollar towards tax.

It might because even if the company is doing well and hasn't laid off anyone, the DOL likely will take into account the local, regional, and national economies and question and request more extensive documentation regarding the company's good faith recruitment and the unavailability of US workers and/or simply not believe that there are no qualified US workers.

Man - almost every other phone brand ends in the the trash MUCH MUCH sooner than Apple, so this is funny to read.

Seriously - can you tell me how long you received updates on your android phone?

Apple is the absolute leader in getting longer life out of their phones, they have much higher resale as a result as well.

Apple not only allows older devices to installer newer software (with bug fixes / security fixes / and supportable features) but they have been backporting stuff to a one step earlier iOS as well in terms of basic fixes. It's actually crazy especially in comparison to their competitors (that get no flak on HN) who literally ship with an old version of android AND DO NOT UPDATE IT!
I think a big portion of this isn't a difference in quality, but rather complexity. Postgres is just easier to understand than Oracle. Oracle has insane amounts of settings and configurable parts. The end result is that people who admin postgres servers tend to learn the levers, but many Oracle DBAs simply don't, or have environments where hand tuning is really hard to justify time-wise. I think Postgres success is it's often in environments where DBAs and devs work closely or are the same person.

This reminds me of a very fun and interesting read called "A Short Stay in Hell" by Steven Peck, which provides an entertaining perspective on infinity and very, very large finite time periods. It's about a Mormon who goes to hell (because Zoroastrianism happens to be the One True Religion). Hell does not last forever though. For the main character, it's a library that contains every possible communication that could exist. Once he finds the book that contains the story of his life, he gets out. Very fun read that addresses large but finite values, although it focuses more on time rather than space.
They're really about the same level of complexity and oftentimes little different in the overall processing time.
I don't know much about ML/Deep-Learning and I have a burning question:

Say we have 10 images as a starting point. Then we create 10,000 images from those 10 images by adding noise, filters, flip them, skew them, distort them, etc. Isn't the underlying data the same (or some formal definition of shannon information entropy)? Would that actually improve neural networks?

I've always wondered. Is it possible to generate infinite data and get almost perfect neural network accuracy?
VAT would be the most obvious one.

My immediate question was "how do you use unlabeled images for training?" But then I decided to read the paper :) The answer is:

Two different perturbations to the same image should have the same predicted label by the model, even if it doesn't know what the correct label is. That information can be used in the training.

Gloves don't really do much good when it comes to coronavirus. Even if they are completely sterile when first putting them on, the problem is that you can pick up the virus on the gloves. You still have to be careful not to touch your face or eyes. Every health organization I've seen recommendations from says hand washing is the best thing you can do to prevent spreading or acquiring the virus via touch.
