That's even more ridiculous.

The people in your scenario that are most at risk are roaming the same area freely, so the solution is to ban the least at risk people?

The same people who are the least likely to follow the prohibition?

If you want to protect the most at-risk people and the only way to do it is to divide the high-risk & low-risk the far more logical route would to ban the high-risk people.

I live in a place where people eat dogs (Vietnam). Especially in the north of the country there are quite a few dog restaurants. But I think it's fair to say that a majority of Vietnamese people don't like this and there is a movement towards banning the dogmeat trade. I think there were new laws passed about it in the last year actually, although it remains to be seen if they will be enforced.

As for a place where you can eat dogs but not pigs, where is that? Most muslims certainly don't eat dogs, since they are considered dirty under Islam.
Clearly closing church is not the same as banning all gatherings of christians, in the same manner as chosing pubs is not a ban on drinking
When I was young, we whould go to my grandpa's place during summer school holidays. He would go to the porch of his cottage every morning, call out to the crows shouting "kaaa... kaaa... kaaa..." and tossed pieces of bread in the air. Whole bunch of crows. They would be ready for this daily feeding frenzy and would catch every since piece of bread in the air without fail. It was a free animal acrobatics show that I never got tired of watching.
Cu did that, and exhausted all of the reserved space. They been expanded to Additional space and are mostly exhausted there.

A very reasonable point, but I guess in my mind it would not be a master slave relationship, we should uplift them into sentience and allow them to use that technology to choose their own path. Obviously there is a lot of hubris there, but as a now ... semi sentient species, I prefer this over being eaten, and I think animals might express the same sentiment, as long as they don't murder us all for our sins :)
> Google actually knee-capped the web with the WHATWG's focus on less semantic documents. The platforms with their army of engineers are what did the technology in.

Nah. Those platforms had years or decades to make their overengineered crap work, and they never could. XHTML2.0 was never finished, all those RDF ontologies never got anywhere, and all the semantic search engines couldn't find anything.

Google made a search engine that worked better than any other precisely because it ignored all the semantic bollocks, and eventually, after the web had stagnated for years by focusing on said semantic nonsense, the WHATWG formed to standardise some HTML that websites and users actually wanted. The person you were replying to had the right of it. If the semantic web was actually any good, it would've produced a better search engine than Google.
Has the apparent spike in cases led to spikes in case rate for non-college students? Has it led to an increase in hospitalizations? Or do we need to "wait two weeks" for that? It's an extremely low risk population, it's very unlikely any of them will be harmed. As you said, they're adults, perhaps they are taking a calculated risk.
Well it must be a litmus test for the universal moral judgement because otherwise it's not universal by definition. I would argue that German population didn't have as much information as we do today and gas chambers as well as other atrocities committed by the Nazis would still be universally
rejected then.

As to "separating families" and "denying medical procedures" you seem to think it's somehow a God given right to come somewhere and be granted resources and time of others. In many people view it's not. The blame is on the immigrants and their countries not on US. The policy is clear: you can't come without having permission. It's entirely reasonable to not want to give resources to people who are not part of your group, didn't contribute to development of your country, don't help to fund your services and are actively breaking your rules in your own country. It's a difficult situation when someone comes anyway and with small children as well but the blame is not on ICE or your policies. Medical procedures don't grow on trees. Granting them means taking time and resources of others. It means someone will have less time for their families/personal life, that someone else will have to work more to get treatment or in some cases won't get treatment at all or get it later. You can't just hand stuff to all comers or then your policy is meaningless. It also means millions of others who want to immigrate to US legally but respect the procedure will wait for longer or never get in. There are many, many people in the world in a very shitty situation who would love to come to US if given a chance. Knowing that but letting in those who force their way is at best morally suspect.

It's nothing like actively pursuing people who live in your society, packing them on trains and killing them in camps. That's why one is universally seen as morally deplorable and the other is a hotly debated issue.

> I don't think $5K per year is a big chunk of a Facebook engineer's compensation

Whether it's <1% or >10% of their compensation, any cut should be acknowledged.

You could feed yourself well, delicious and healthy food, 2000 wholesome calories a day, for 5 days a week. 20 days a month where you effectively don't have to buy groceries or eat out.

Food is a part of the compensation package at FB and other companies where money sloshes around in giant buckets.

> What happens if and when they no longer work at Facebook?

They get paid less. Plenty of people have left companies like FB et al for smaller companies where you have to buy your own lunch and they're fine. Not sure why you're so excited to pull a "kids these days" here.

On my grandfather's ranch, he had those rows of pipes laid in the ground with spaces between them at the road entrance. The cows couldn't walk across them, but your car would do just fine.

When he made a back entrance, he just painted white lines instead of the more expensive pipe setup. He'd learned from neighboring ranches that once the cows understand the pipes, they won't walk across the painted lines. And, I don't quite know how, but new cows learn from the existing herd not to try the white lines.
Some medical insurance plans provide coverage. I previously had a plan that covered the cost up to a certain amount per hearing aid, but only like once every couple of years. So if you were like me, and only needed one hearing aid, they would cover $800 for one ear or $1,600 for two. But I couldn’t, say, get one for $1,600.

Now I have a plan with a different employer that doesn’t cover them at all.

Arbitrary time boxes are what poor managers use to micro manage. I recently saw a team put under leadership of a poor manager and descend into never ending micro management under the guise of "milestones" which were just arbitrary time boxes determined by a tech lead. It also serves to pressure the tech lead "you said it would be done!" which thereby incentivizes the tech leads to pressure their team. It's really dumb, net loss for the company (burnout, higher turnover), and a total waste of time.
I have tons of PC games I "own" but can't play anymore. One of my favorite tycoon games was Sid Meier's Railroads, but it can't run stable on any machine with more than 4GB of RAM. Sure I could spin up a Windows XP VM but that's not a reasonable solution in any way. Same thing with Full Spectrum Warrior, just doesn't run on modern OSes. I can play Unreal Tournament 2003 or older Call of Duty games or... if I can find someone to play with, playing the maps and modes I want to play. I also have more than a handful of online and MMO games that I "own" but can't play because the servers are shut off.

The days of owning a game and playing it forever are so far gone that there are adults graduating college who don't remember a time when you could expect to own a game and play it forever.

They are not ok with it. They just understand the blame is not on ICE or US policies but on immigrants and their countries. If your policy is: "if you come illegally we will jail you and send you back when possible but we are also human enough to not keep children in the same adult jail as you" and then you come anyway the blame is on you.

I don't think anyone is ok with forced sterilization. I don't really know why you put it on ICE or the immigration policy. It has to be investigated and from the information we have that it doesn't seem to be either widespread nor as simple as you portray it. Sure, investigate it, punish the offenders. It doesn't mean you owe stuff to all comers and have to take care of them.

I know this won’t be popular here, but this reminds me of the “security theater” talked about on the Urbit blog.

> Well, "we" in the Open Source movement decided that it means not restricting what users do with their code.

The "GPL" is way more onerous. You see, one can only be truly unrestricted by being restricted into taking certain actions. Nothing Orwellian to see here.
First it is hard to eat something you raised as a pet.

However, people have eaten coyote here in the states, and one thing is the glands can make the meat taste pretty horrid at times. If you’re choosing an animal as livestock you probably want the meat to be edible every time. Canines meat can vary too much because the various glands they have can effect the meat depending on how the animal was feeling.

Let alone the cultural issues about eating a companion. Like horse meat can be taboo just because that in a lot of areas.
You are not wrong.

It’s hard not to look at the inadequate meeting space in most office plans and not take it as a giant hint that they just want you to “shut up and code”. I think we often get confused between the Right thing and the expedient/practical thing. There’s certainly a lemonade from lemons aspect to stand ups.

I would conjecture that there’s an Icarus aspect to Scrum. The other agile methodologies tried to massage the limits and strengths of typical programmers, managers and customers, to save our sanity and throw management enough bones to let us be weird, but not too weird. Scrum looks a lot more like Business as Usual, and so the MBAs embraced it and made it their own.
>There is a very simple reason why these restrictions are outrageous: individuals have a right to gather with their friends if they so choose.

I agree that "being able to gather with your friends" is a great thing, but I don't see why it's a sacred right that is "outrageous" to restrict no matter the consequences.

Like a lot of these debates, this sort of things comes down to your personal beliefs in the relative importances of:
- "The right as an invididual to do X"
- "The right as an individual to not be negatively affected by someone else doing X"

Most actions all on the spectrum somewhere:

"Society has decided it's acceptable for me to drive a car, even though it puts pedestrians at risk of being run over"

"Society has decided that it's not acceptable for me to drive a car when intoxicated, even if's really inconvenient for me to get a taxi home, because the risk of me killing a pedistrian is too high"

"Society isn't quite sure what the maximum speed that I can drive a car at on a surban street (and get to my destination faster, while increasing the risk of killing someone), but it's not 'as fast as I can go', and it's not '2 MPH'".

Its the same with "the right to gather with friends, and in the process increase the chances that I'll get COVID and pass it on to someone who dies from it". Simply declaring it "outrageous" not to maintain that right is overly simplistic, and I think that actually, some form of utilitiarian thinking is very helpful.

In short, you can't just reject utilitarian thinking just because your utility function is different to that of society's.

Why is reducing suffering ethical? When you squash a bug does it suffer? Most lie and say it doesn't, because the exact chemical signals aren't there, but if you could ask the bug it would not want to be crushed.

What about plants? Do they enjoy being uprooted and eaten? Well, there is no chemical process that we call "suffering" so it must be okay. But, these mammals you see, they're so close to us! And we don't like it when humans suffer. Even worse, most people hate when something cute suffers, even more so then a human.

There is no real greater ethical meaning here, just arbitrary lines drawn in the sand by people with strong feelings one way or the other. And yes, the same goes for the suffering of us humans.

The authority to order quarantine for every member of a specific demographic group is... well, not exactly new, but the historical instances of it are pretty roundly condemned today. How would you feel if Boulder had selectively imposed this order on all unmarried people, or all Swedish people?
If "doesn't run on newer systems" is your criteria, those days never existed (and any point in time is probably the one with the most options to run past games, due to emulation/compatibility fixes improving). Games relying on servers are a newer issue though indeed.
In fairness, most humans would probably struggle with determining how the Game of Life works, probably because they may fail to grasp that it only depends on cell neighborhood interaction rules.

Aren't you ignoring the fact that actual authoritarians are using the lack of moderation in FB to spread misinformation and incite populism and take control? This has occurred in India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and I would argue currently occurring in the US.

I also used to be a free speech absolutist, but I'm not anymore since I realized that it doesn't actually result in the kind of educated discourse and debate where truth prevails (as libertarians seem to think it does) - it results in 8chan and QAnon. Human beings aren't rational, and are rife with cognitive biases towards bigotry and cruelty that can easily be hijacked by populists.
Yes, COVID is basically over in New York. You know why? Because it passed the real herd immunity threshold. (Simplistic models overestimate the true HIT due to not accounting for heterogeneity across the dimensions of genetic susceptibility, genetic transmissibility, and social contacts).

Ironically, the hysteria is partially why New York’s IFR is the highest in the world; fears of hospital overrun scenarios that never materialized (and in retrospect never could have, but we didn’t have good data at the time) led to Cuomo sending infected into nursijg homes. And a doctrine of early invasive ventilation led to iatrogenic harm and therefore death. And deprivation of sunlight/exercise/sleep all serve to destroy the body’s natural immunoregulatory mechanisms.

Unfortunately, Jacobson v Massachusetts has given legal precedent for forced sterilization and forced detention based off of race, so I’m sure Jacobson can be used to justify these mortality-inducing lockdowns from a legal standpoint. That neither makes it ethical nor good for public health.

What arrogance to think that New York is not experiencing cases because of the interventions taken. Is it just a coincidence that Sweden, which never locked down nor mandates masks, is also done with COVID? No, it’s all just seroprevalence. Which so many of us have been trying to tell you guys for half a year now. Meanwhile the third world is about to experience an unprecedented mass starvation that will eclipse the COVID mortality by far.
This seem very unsurprising to me. Neural networks are good at being "good enough" at "soft" problems where the answer isn't cut and dry even for humans. Strict logical rules where there's one right answer are not a good domain to try to solve probabilistically.

Generally getting to senior is much more straightforward than moving past that. In a Google-style system, senior is the terminal level, which everyone is expected to reach. So there should be clear guidelines and a lot of examples of others who have been promoted there.

I can't speak for every company, but generally for a senior promotion you just need to prove that you are a competent developer and can be trusted to deliver medium-sized projects (e.g., 3 developers for a quarter) from design to release without much or any oversight.

If you're not getting those opportunities, you need to talk to your manager about that.
