Historically, when sick and vacation were more typically separate pools, the answer was definitely it depended. It's not hard to find studies showing that Mondays and Fridays saw a disproportionate number (i.e. not just 20%) of single day sick days. And, I'm sure, the pattern wasn't spread evenly across everyone.

Personally, although I've fortunately had much need to take an appreciable number of sick days, I favor them being separate because as others note, especially with a relatively limited pool of PTO days, there's a lot of incentive to work sick.

What?

At any time, you can download your google docs data and have it locally. You can convert it to word/excel formats.

This makes anything you are trying to argue completely irrelevant.

If they basically forced you to keep your data in their proprietary format online-only, then maybe you have an argument.. but since this is not true you are grasping at straws here.
Nothing will change in USA. Even TelaDoc & Livongo send sensitive analytics from their apps to multiple 3rd parties violating HIPAA and CMIA and they just don't care. OCR don't take action. California DOJ don't take action. Maximum HIPAA fine is $1.5M. Although HIPAA violations can lead to jail time it is so rare that it is a negligible risk.

In Oslo snow and ice can lasts up to 5 months. Yet it does not prevent people from going outside as city does reasonable job in general to keep pavements walkable. Surely that can be improved, but I do not see how one can blame climate and not local city government for snow heaps with ice on the pavements.
Interesting axiomatic basis for your argument, and thank you for explaining where we are seeing differences. You are correct that I would disagree with you on that, and place both as necessities. Sick days are necessary for short-term physical and mental health. Vacation days are necessary for long-term mental health.

If you missed weeks of work from an illness, those weeks aren't time where you could see family, see the world, relax, and be human. They don't satisfy the same long-term needs as fully-disconnected vacation time satisfies.

No. Residential areas are different from commercial areas in good parts of the world for a reason. This is not a bad example.

Many people took loans to buy airbnb to aggressively rent them. Criminal activity go through roof with tourists in the neighborhood. You don't know who your neighbors are because they keep changing. It doesn't feel safe to let your 10 year old son out for many.

Drugs, garbage on the road, covid hot spots. Hotels also have to pay taxes which airbnb avoids. Price in the area goes up for locals. People move out to surrounding areas and have to commute more.
Low energy density though — a fully charged 1kg LiIon battery has enough energy to raise its own weight by a height of about 50 km.

Wikipedia says energy density of 0.36-0.875 MJ/kg; assuming 0.5 MJ/kg and putting it into PE = mgh -> 0.5 MJ/kg * 1kg = 1kg * g * h -> h = (0.5 MJ/kg)/g = ~51 km

Sick days are meant to be used for recovery from minor illness, not for cancer. This is why short- and long-term disability insurance exist, which pay your full salary or close to it. For example my employer pays for everyone to have ST and LT coverage up to 60 or 80% of salary (I forget which honestly) and you can purchase additional coverage which is (I think) pretax to bring that up to 100% for one or both. For example I have the partial coverage for ST but pay something like $15/mo for 100% on the LT if something were to happen to me requiring extended care. And every job I've ever had from six-figure consultant to $6.15/hr dishwasher has offered STD/LTD insurance (of varying quality, of course).

It's not nearly as barbaric as you're making it sound if you actually understand how it's supposed to used.

> This is not what Loom does, though. Virtual threads are not using the thread API. They are (Java) threads; no more and no less than today's threads. Just as people don't normally use the java.lang.Thread API directly to use today's threads, there's no reason why they should use it with virtual threads.

Right. That's fair. They are threads, but it's just that now you have two "kinds" of Thread, where before you had one (AFIAK). I like the analogy to "virtual memory" of an OS, but can applications ask for "real RAM" instead of "virtual RAM"? I don't think so, but I could be wrong. So having virtual threads and "raw" threads under the same class has pros and cons, IMO.

> It gives you the illusion of knowing something that you don't really. The OS, or the Java runtime, can and do pause your thread at any point for durations that are between orders of magnitude shorter and orders of magnitude longer than blocking operations. There is no useful semantic knowledge you can extract from knowing something is "blocking" to the point that it's a meaningless designation. It does mean something in "single threaded" languages like JavaScript, but not in Java.

That's true. But it's still a signal from the author of the function, the same way a type is. If a function makes a network call, you can be fairly sure that it will usually take longer to return than a function that is just flipping some bits around (even a fairly large amount of bits). Or do you still disagree? Would you say that if I'm writing JVM code, I really shouldn't worry about what functions make network and DB calls or what thread they're on because it really doesn't matter? Even if I have a UI that I'd like to keep responsive?
In practice, people can usually go into "debt." But the shared pool still encourages people to work sick rather than use what's effectively a vacation day.

The thing that isn't talked about is the function of a personal vehicle. A car is a major contributing factor to personal freedom. You are able to travel short to long distances on YOUR schedule, not someone else's. The biggest issue with a lot of public transpo is the lack of freedom. You dont travel when convenient to you and you dont get taken to exactly where you want to go. This of course has its pros that go with the cons, both environmental and cost (cost to a degree, not all public transport is created equal and I have a big problem with considering it savings if you spend 1.5 hours round trip to do a 30 min round trip commute, but that's a slightly different topic).

When people argue for the rights of cars, they are really talking about their own personal rights to large movement (grocery shopping is far easier with a car than by public transpo and foot as a quick example).

And as the caveat, yes I do believe we need to take steps to solving our pollution generation. In the same breath, I dont believe in taking away personal freedoms or independent abilities. Paris is literally an archaic city. The design is archaic and what city planners have to deal with are hacks due to legacy design. Then again, French culture is rather archaic as well. They still refuse to adopt loaner words as an example, something the rest of the world has been doing for the past few hundred years at least. Using them as a poster child for what the rest of the modern world should do to fix pollution problems is like trusting an Italian engineering firm to build a bridge... it's going to collapse :P Add to that, banning anything is a very buercratical answer to a complex problem. Tell me the last time banning/prohibition has worked well and never had 2nd or 3rd order severe consequences. Historical speaking, they're pulling ideas out of their ass and are going to regret this decision regardless if its "for the greater good".
Unfortunately it's just not accurate. See my sibling comment.
I recently built a similar system for HackOHI/O, my college's hackathon. Was a great challenge! We used a slightly different approach, as we didn't have the time or expertise to train our own models.
Personally I used Python's tnote program, but, because of Python, it worked pretty slowly. So I rewrite on pure POSIX shell and it serves me for nearly ten years:
http://www.git.stargrave.org/?p=t.git;a=blob;f=t

Comparing to author's solution, it gives ability to briefly list notes, use multiple "namespaces", quickly add (without invoking the editor), delete or modify each specified note. Also there is no bashism and it works out of box on *BSD (that lacks bash) and GNU systems.
While I have objections to internet-based government interaction, access is not one I worry much about.

We have government-funded libraries all across the country that provide internet access. While I believe that mail should always be an option, ease of access is something that I think is over-valued when it comes to government.

That's not to say that I don't appreciate convenience. Convenience and a broad range of availability are good things. But at the same time, I don't hold the belief that government owes us convenience.

So with that said, and excepting arguments of convenience of availability of internet, I think it's hard to make the case that someone may be excluded just because they don't have internet. Used to be some people had to ride half a day on a horse to conduct some government business. To me, that is the baseline, and anything beyond that is a privileged blessing, NOT a necessity.

I know this is a very unpopular opinion.

> Did you miss the part where they

I don't think that's notable, sorry. I would expect that of any modern CPU.

> it’s not common for general purpose laptops and desktops

Well, yeah, because "memory on package" has major disadvantages. You (laptop/desktop manufacturer) are making minor gains in performance and power and need to buy a CPU which doesn't exist. Apple can do it, but they were already doing it for iPhone, and they must do it for iPhone to meet space constraints.

I think unified memory is the right way to go, long term, and that's a meaningful improvement. But as you point out, there is plenty of prior work there.

> they don’t have everything that’s part of the M1 system on a chip

They actually do! The 'CPU' part of an Intel CPU is vanishingly small these days. Most area is taken up with cache, GPU and hardware accelerators, such as... hardware video encode and decode, image processing, security and NN acceleration.

Most high-end Android cellphone SoCs have the same blocks. NVIDIA's SoCs have been shipping the same hardware blocks, with the same unified memory architecture, for at least four years. They all boot Ubuntu and give a desktop-like experience on a modern ARM ISA.

> There’s no other desktop ... at the price point of $699

Literally every modern Intel desktop does this.
This is very good, both for drivers and pedestrians.

I moved from Moscow to Paris a year ago, and I think Moscow is a success story of fixing traffic.

* Make streets in the center narrower, remove 1-2 lines and make sidewalks wider;

* Remove parking slots, make the remaining ones very expensive;

* No barriers to taxi aggregators or car sharing, just regulations on hours of work;

* Improve public transport (new metro lines);

* (Optional: pave the sidewalks with tiles (Собянинская плитка). Despite bad jokes it really feels nice vs old broken asphalt)

The city became pleasant to pedestrians, traffic jams reduced a lot. Before that I even refused to use taxis, because the price was high, quality was low, and sitting for 1 hour just to move 300 meters was usual. I do not drive myself, but taking a taxi there is no brainer - $5 per ride and much faster than before, without traffic.

Now Paris reminds me of Moscow in the 2000s. Often narrow sidewalks where even two people find it difficult to walk past each other, parked cars that make this difficult even for one person (good luck with baby carriage!). This is not everywhere, not on the main streets, but Paris is an old city and there are many old narrow streets. Those should be made completely pedestrian or keep just one line.

Before the confinement I lived near Petit Champs/Chabanais streets. They made Chabanais and one part of Petit Champs pedestrian, and removed 1.5 lines from another part in favor of sidewalks. Local activity thrived, children were playing, cafes full of people on the sidewalks or streets themselves. I used to joke that they called Moscow mayor Sobyanin to fix the streets. If they didn't, they should... at least not be afraid of radical measures.

And the measures should be radical so that improvements to pedestrians (or taxis, public transport) are big and more people give up on their own cars faster. Biking and scooters are possible all year around in Paris vs just five months in Moscow, so I'm looking forward to more and more of those changes.

P.S. Paris should also make public transport strikes illegal!
This gets into the technical details more than I am able to, but I agree completely. I also have older eyes, and 4k was just unusable (on a Galago with a 13" screen). I could have scaled down by a factor of two, but that was too coarse.

I exchanged the Galago for a 14" Darter, and 1920x1280 is just right.

The Pangolin looks pretty nice to me.
Why this focus on web analytics? Facebook, Google and ads (as used on websites) are far worse from a privacy perspective and can't be blocked/avoided as easily. And the page publisher isn't at fault if all the evil tracking and data retention happens on the side of the analytics provider without consent or influence of the publisher.

If web browser development hadn't been hijacked by the most guilty of tracking and privacy invasion corporations, blocking analytics, ads and cookie banners could be a simple matter of easy per-site browser settings.
Can the case be made that recording in public is a right (as if always should be) but trying to track where everyone is at every point of time is stalking at a mass scale which should be illegal as stalking on a one to one scale is illegal?

For reference this is what one site (findlaw) has given as what constitutes the crime of stalking:

The crime of stalking can be simply described as the unwanted pursuit of another person. Examples of this type of behavior includes following a person, appearing at a person's home or place of business, making harassing phone calls, leaving written messages or objects, or vandalizing a person's property.

> Cost of a house in Copenhagen (centre)

That is for an apartment, not a full house of multiple storeys. If you have four storeys (counting the ground-floor), then interestingly the costs would be roughly on par. I am not sure, how many storeys the houses are supposed to have in Copenhagen.
If the city charged you based on the value of the land you use, you'd go bankrupt after a picnic in the park. Cities offer plenty of things "for free" (payed by taxes and other sources of income) and you benefit from a lot of those also as pedestrian or cyclist. Drawing the line at drivers seems a bit self centered. I have the feeling you consider most of what you do to be worthy of gratuity. Bycicle lanes and parking still cost to build and maintain but you get them for no additional explicit cost. Ironically (car) road tax pays for some of that.
I've seen minor abuse from several people, and a few sarcastic "just take a sick day for <thing you want to do during a work day>" but I still think that minor abuse is worth the peace of mind it brings to me as an employee.
> Consuming the content means agreeing to the premise that the content is paid for using ads.

It is in fact not this way, because the content arrives with or without the ads. In the EU EULAs (the dystopian construct that you'd expect to enforce that bit of lunacy) that purport to apply to content you have already accessed are not legally valid. Leaving the legal interpretation aside, me doing one thing doesn't mean consent for something else. Believing otherwise is both unethical and amoral, stances I don't hugely feel like interacting with.
I would prefer 2K res on a laptop. On a 15 inch screen, 4K is overkill - I have to increase desktop scaling to read text, so there's no increase in screen real estate. Higher res drains the battery faster as well.

Sounds pretty par for the course for a parking garage in an upscale part of Boston or DC with a minimum charge.

For convention centers, hospital clinics and other "people who have to come from far away must come directly here and they are likely to have a situation whereby public transit is impractical" type destinations $20 would be cheap.
My opinion: the "problems" you're describing are actually symptoms of the real problem.

My opinion: the real problem is moral corruption, and a lack of genuine leadership. Selfishness as a virtue? I dont think leadership and charisma translate well to the digital platform, I think leadership is an analog process, you've got to be able to read the room, but we dont get into the same rooms anymore, we discuss politics on facebook and twitter. Grandpa can't teach his grandchildren how to behave if the children only talk to Grandpa on Facetime. Our communities are missing the human connection - a necessary connection if we're going to cooperate to fix our society.

Why is it disgusting? I said it was sad.

Innocent people are getting murdered by police with impunity. We have a larger prison population than China.

I mean everyone knows not to take nude videos, we've known that for 15+ years now.

Yes, there's lots of ways to fix SQL injection. I'm more surprised that after knowing about this vulnerability for 20+ years, its STILL lost on many developers. You and I pick up on it immediately, but there's (apparently) a lot of developers who think the code is "good enough, works for me" and ship it to production.

So it needs to be asked for in interviews, and if you find it and discuss it you're apparently one of the "better" programmers. The bar for being a passable programmer is literally on the floor.

I’ve always been of the mind that the USPS should provide an official government email of sorts.
