Having worked a lot in a rental market with a very active housing subsidy program, I agree that the administration of such programs is an actual nightmare, but you really are missing the point I think.

Start with the assumption that people need to be able to afford a place to live, and that a full time job should be able to achieve that. Do you agree?

Now, if we both agree that a housing subsidy program is an administrative nightmare, what's left? Simple: Regulating prices on the housing market.

A subsidy is a nightmare to administer; is subject to corruption, mis-targeting, abuse, and extreme wait lists; and drains public resources. So why do we do it? Simple: Because the real estate industry has lobbied the government to pursue this as a means to address housing inequality. Rather than being told that the earnings of their investment properties will be capped by regulation, the government is writing a check to make up the difference.

So now, after years of waiting, a single mother of two might get a 3/4 of her rent paid by a subsidy. The apartment needs to pass ridiculous inspections which are conducted historically by specialized contractors who benefit from failing due to re-inspection fees, and they will fail an inspection because a screw is missing from a light switch cover, blowing up a lease deal and elongating the timeline for a subsidized move-in by months. It sucks for the residents, and it sucks for the landlord from a administrative/management perspective (mainly dealt with by hired management), but at the end of the day, they have a government-guaranteed rent payment for a greatly inflated rent market. Coronavirus cut your tenant's hours?! No problem! At least 3/4 the rent will be paid, and the margins are still profitable.

And we wonder why wealth inequality is growing in the US! This literally inflates the rental market by creating more demand for overpriced housing than exists, by creating a class of people who can afford it only through a majority subsidy. It also encourages investment property purchases by doing so, in turn creating more competition in the buyers market and causing price inflation there as well. This also has the effect of keeping more people renting instead of being able to buy.

In conclusion, PEOPLE NEED HOUSING! Real estate industry doesn't need subsidies. Yes,that includes private landlords with investment properties. Someone else's housing or health care shouldn't be an unregulated investment opportunity if we care about the well being of the people.

Not just young men, all men I suppose. Breast cancer receives tons of attention and money compared to testicular cancer. Men's rights movements are made fun of. Sexual assaults on men is funny while the same on women is horrifying. Casually making jokes about it in movies is okay, as long as the victim is male. etc etc.

> I was already part of a layoff round at the end of March. They forced a layoffs on a third of the company - it also disproportionately affected people of color, ex all 5 black engineers were laid off. So this incident is happening to the remaining folks now. Very sad.
Yeah I don’t think it would be the start of a civil war but I certainly believe dozens or hundreds of people would become violent.
How do you consider transient data or CDNs like Cloudfront/Cloudflare?
It looks like the tweet was made by an ex-NPM employee that was laid off in March.

And looking further, it looks like the pay reduction is happening to some non-US employees as a part of a their COLA adjustment.
When Florida is importing drugs from Canada instead of buying them domestically then its pretty self-evident that it can be done for cheaper.

Not sure if this is an earnest defense of the state of healthcare costs in the US but you'd have to be deluded if you think that the rampant profit-seeking in the US for healthcare is merely the cost of doing business.

And there can be no conversations without recognizing the tens (hundreds?) of thousands of civilians killed by the North Vietnamese/Russia/China.

It depends on what the goal should be. Having roommates is fun when you're 20 something. Not when you're trying to support a family.
Not all 40-hour-a-week jobs are valuable enough to support a high adult standard of living. If adults are still doing those jobs, it’s not a problem with the jobs.

>Is minimum wage workers affording an average 1-2 bedroom apartment with no other householders a goal we have set?

There's a very good chance there are people whose quality of life would be drastically diminished if they had to share an apartment. Off the top of my head, those with embarrassing or inconvenient medical issues, single parents, people who always feel some level of stress around other people (there are a lot of us).

When setting floors by policy, we should think of the people who don't fit the norm. If they don't get help from somewhere else, they're screwed.
Does anyone know, in general, if a watch device already has a pulse measurement LED system, whether that can also serve as a pulse ox measurement? or are they different hardware requirements?

I loved giving a brown bag on Raspberry Pi project to my teammates. I know it's not a great work related topic, but installing and using linux and tips on securing it was at least tangentially related.

I have to say, I wish I made lots of money.
Well, one reason is that without metrics, prejudice and bias is much more likely to win the day. "I just don't feel like they're doing a good job" is affected by all kinds of things unrelated to actual performance. At least having some metrics require you to think about whether that feeling is backed up by reality.
One of my favourite facts about Jervis Bay Territory is that while:

-It is counted as part of the ACT for senate representation.

-It is part of the seat of Fenner in the ACT for the house of reps.

-It is governed under the laws of the ACT.

It is still legally a separate territory. Great for a tricky trivia question.
> This is a category error. Companies have an existential incentive to chase profits (and their managers can be sued by the shareholders for doing anything less). Their incentive to avoid violating laws, morals, and ethics is far lower.

Holding firm to a strong sense of ethics and morals is a risky thing to do. Whether you're representing a company, or just acting as an individual. But that risk does not justify NOT holding firm.

So, if you run a company, and you're afraid of getting sued by your shareholders for not pursuing profit at the expense of your ethics and morals, I'd suggest finding a new job. Or, just maybe, your shareholders aren't so blinded by greed that they would not support your company doing what is right.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I really refuse to believe that he couldn't just be diagnosed with something else, assuming there was really a problem to begin with. This whole case is incredibly concerning. I'd wonder if this is the first time.

> “Estrogen is not a treatment for ODD. I can’t be more emphatic about that,” McGough said. “You won’t find a reference anywhere that supports the use of estrogen for ODD.”

Well certainly the doctor got this theory from someplace. They believed this young man would be better behaved if he had less testosterone and more estrogen, and went ahead with a treatment against scientific evidence (and ethics quite frankly).

So where did the doctor get this theory? Let's ask ourselves that question, and follow up with this question: what other theories are medical and science professionals getting that aren't science based?

> Is minimum wage workers affording an average 1-2 bedroom apartment with no other householders a goal we have set?

It's not a goal we set but it's one we mostly achieved none the less, depending on your specific area and minimum wage. A blue collar (minimum - low wage) worker used to be able buy a house and raise a family on a single income. People are poorer than they were decades ago, at least where it counts.
The article cited by the OP (which I read) suggests that the 'studies from Europe'(which I read - it's apparently largely based on unpublished studies) are somehow different from those in Israel:

"what happened in Israel, where schools reopened on May 17. On that day, Israel added only 10 new cases. By the end of June, the country had added 1,400 cases—657 of which contract tracers tracked to schools."

I've been following Covid closely since it appeared, and if I was a teacher I would not even consider returning to school at this time. It looks like many, many college teachers agree.
This article points out a really crucial thing: we talk about "chemical imbalances", and this language subtly implies we know what we're talking about when we really don't. It's scientific sounding language: it's precise sounding.

It lends the impression that you're saying something like: "Brains of well-adjusted humans have a dopamine to seratonin ratio of X, but my brain puts out X + epsilon. So, I take this pill, and it moves the dopamine amounts down to normal, and leaves everything else the same."

But, as everyone cringing right now at that statement knows, not only do we laymen not understand how the brain works well enough to make any such statement, but no one can make any such statement.
There are multiple levels of problems involved:

1. Determine with certainty that a given psychological problem to one that is purely solved by altering brain chemicals in principle (vs. neuronal structure or environment, etc)

2. Determine that this living individual, whom you cannot crack open the brain of, is suffering from this psychological disorder because of a brain chemical imbalance.

3. Synthesize a drug that alters this chemical imbalance, leaving everything else the same. This would involve understanding both the immediate effect of the drug, and the eventual ramifications as the brain reacts and compensates for the drug's presence, such that the final steady state of the drug is the desired brain chemical balance.

The state of our science is such that we really can't do any of these with the precision the "chemical imbalance" framing implies. Compared with this unrealistic standard, we're barely better than alchemists. We know that in principle, some psychological problems are caused at least in part by brain chemical imbalances. But I agree with the article that we should stop giving the impression that this awareness implies an ability to diagnose and solve these imbalances.
This means that after the apocalypse people will be able to reclaim the Linux source code but not Windows. I find it poetic that open source may one day be the norm.

Fun fact about pulse oximeters: in California EMTs are regulated so strictly that it is illegal for them to use a pulse oximeter as it is deemed "invasive". So if anyone is experiencing a medical emergency that could successfully be delayed following the algorithm involving checking blood O2, they better hope the EMT is experienced/lucky enough to suspect low O2 or that there's a paramedic or nurse on board. It's definitely one of those laws that aren't really enforced but it's weird that in California EMTs have to break the law to do basic screening.
Weren’t the posts immediately reappearing after they were deleted? It doesn’t matter what Twitter restricts the way the platform is currently setup if their system is compromised you don’t have control over what is posted.

An alternative approach would be for twitter to support digitally signed tweets and build the signature validation into their clients. Obviously it’s said than done but it greatly enhance security and theoretically mitigate attacks like this by requiring access to the private keys to post fraudulent tweets, something Twitter would never at any point have possession of. Further, users very concerned about Someone hijacking their account, such as coinbase, could employ hardware security modules which would require the hacker to have physical access to the device and make a many user attach such as this previous one much less likely.

The author explains his visualization as follows:

One is a red light, which has a wavelength of approximately 650 nm. The other is an infrared light, which has a wavelength of 950 nm. (Throughout our description, we will show the infrared light in light blue. In reality, infrared light is invisible to the human eye.)

The blue color is being used for infrared so the wavelength is right. The author could have used a '-- red' for infrared rather than blue to be less confusing.
More accurate: “Minimum wage workers can’t rent a two bedroom and have 70% of their income left over.” Ok; rent a one-bedroom, have a roommate, whatever. Having your own apartment with a guest room isn’t a reasonable thing to expect on the lowest tier of work available.

The lowest-value labor in the market being able to support a middle-class lifestyle isn’t a sane thing to expect, by definition. It’s tautologically impossible, unless you collapse middle-class and low-class lifestyle into the same thing.
Personal theory!
This is completely subjective. In many countries it's very common to have multiple generations living under one roof all supporting each other.

>“He’s like a different person. He just wants to be in his room, and he don’t come out for nothing, all day in his room,” the father said. “He was never like that.”

What I am about to say is in no way a defense of the doctor or his actions. What percentage of parents would say this exact same thing about their teenage children? It is perfectly normal behavior and I'm not sure there is anything to link it to the unnecessary hormones forced on the unfortunate kid.
I'm sorry, but you're j"I worked at Reddit and Netflix"edberg. I am a schmoe who works in a small town where there are fewer than 10 good companies that I would want to work for, and you haven't heard of any of them.

From the average perspective, I have found the parent's commenter's advice to be far more accurate. I don't think you have a good idea of how terrible and vindictive the average mid-level paper pusher in management or HR is outside Silicon Valley (I suspect there are quite a few in SV as well, but maybe you all are a little more skeptical about their utility). I don't want some maniac manager talking crap about me to everyone they know and consequently blowing up my meager job prospects just because I complained to HR about their shitty management style. Oh, and unlike your Netflix example, tens of people complained about terrible management style at a former employer, and not a single manager got fired or even cautioned as a result. So I'm going to smile, nod, and leave a company – nothing more.

So, in summary – hopefully this doesn't sound like flattery, but consider that you might be in the position of a Lakers player giving advice to a local pickup basketball group. The advice doesn't always translate well to a different context :)
I read something that compared cocaine's mood-lifting effects to those of the MAOI's. I remember it further said the MAOI's were generally safe for short-term use, unless you consumed certain types of fine cheese, and that they fell out of favor as their patents expired, not because they didn't work anymore.

I have a hard time keeping track of where I read what; I haven't found a source on a cursory search.
One issue with roommates is that rental laws are rarely designed to accommodate for that situation. For example, if one person is unwilling or unable to pay the rent the other(s) have to make up the difference with no real recourse. If they don't, well, the landlord does have recourse (even if it is heavily regulated and burdensome). This is a particular problem for older people or people with limited social connections since the options are more limited. The problem can be further aggravated if landlords have the right to veto the arrangement.

This is worse precisely because of the reasons transphobia is bad. This poor boy has been forced - by a medical professional, no less - into a place on the gender plane that is different to the one that he identifies as. The psychological effects of that are horrifying, and the physiological effects are potentially permanent.

There's nothing wrong with being trans and going through HRT so long as you do it with full and knowing consent. You do that because you feel deeply dysphoric about the gap between the body you've been forced into and your true identity, but it's not without cost. To force both the cost and dysphoria onto someone is, again, truly abhorrent.
