From what I see whenever this topic comes up, it seems that the only zealots are those who want to work in the office. Remote working people are always more, "I work better this way, and you all can keep working as you prefer".

And, given the conditions you described most would be ok I guess. But, most don't have a 20min each way commute. Which then interferes with all the other points - seeing your children in the same vein as you do (if you have 1h or more of commute, you're going to miss the mornings and get home pretty much later, have less energy, etc), which also means you won't have the time to share on the home cooking (unless your partner does so and has a schedule that allows). You won't be cycling that distance either, instead you'll get a car, or public transportation. Running errands depends on the grace of your company, I'm sure many (and usually most where people are more inclined to work from home are exactly those where you won't be able to, either because the errands aren't geographically close enough or by office policy).

I do see value in in-person presence, be it for bonding, relaxing or discussing work, on the other hand, in terms of work I don't see why you would need 2 meetings and not a video call, or call, just as you could do over a coffee.

The other points about interaction, indeed, they have their own value.

> If AZ is so unsafe...

That's not what this means.

AZ has genuinely fucked up a couple times. They accidentally gave some trial participants half the intended dose (https://www.bbc.com/news/health-55086927), and now appear to have made a mistake in reporting data.

They're procedural fuckups. Never should've happened, but neither one inherently says "the vaccine is unsafe".

> The DSMB expressed concern that AstraZeneca may have included outdated information from that trial, which may have provided an incomplete view of the efficacy data

[because... the data reviewed does not appear to cover the California varient, etc...]

The fact that it is kept vague and not including a reason is not helpful and leads to speculation on how terrible AZ are for not being able to submit proper data. They do confirm that this question has nothing to do with the blood clots which this data helps disprove any proper link.

The 'statistical' evidence presented has all been based on false premises.

Most of the rest of the evidence appears to be hearsay and nothing more.

> The sheer breadth of it all doesn't make you pause for a second?

Sure, I am stunned at the size of the misinformation campaign and the number of people willing to attempt to undermine democracy in such a blatantly partisan way. This stuff is basically all completely discredited at this point in time, gathering it together like this doesn't do anything other than show off just how huge an effort was put into discrediting the US election, absent any concrete evidence whatsoever.

I mean, you don't have to go that far down the list before you find high quality material like a youtube video tagged "EVIDENCE THAT ELECTRONIC MAILING IS FRADULENT".

It's laughable.

As is your line "The sheer breadth of it all doesn't make you pause". I've heard this a number of times now. What we had was some determined actors (including Powell) who appear to have engaged in a high-speed shit-spreading exercise, throwing out as much crap as fast as they possibly could, evidence be damned. Now concerned citizens gather it together and use the sheer volume of crap as if that in itself was some sort of evidence.

"Well, where there's smoke there's fire, and look at all this smoke!". Its hilariously self-referential and isn't really evidence of anything much more than motivated partisanship.
Mine too! Unfortunately, it had the same amount all the way until 2003.

It makes me more eager to move away from SQLite.

Why?

On another page I find: SQLite Is Public Domain

All of the code and documentation in SQLite has been dedicated to the public domain by the authors. All code authors, and representatives of the companies they work for, have signed affidavits dedicating their contributions to the public domain https://sqlite.org/copyright.html

Given that I'm free to do absolutely whatever I want with the code, why should I be seriously concerned about their code of ethics?

Ask HN: What's your experience with floor desk?
I was sitting incorrectly for many years which resulted in almost permanent lower back pain. I also have a standing desk so I mix sitting with standing every day but after a few months my feet started to hurt. Now I work in walking/running shoes with a foam but I'd like to try something different as it doesn't sound like a solution.

My final idea is a floor desk which is not popular at all but sitting on the floor seems like the most natural position. Have you ever tried that or are you familiar with a comfortable floor desk setup?

How are people feeling such financial pain? In the US we gave every adult over $3,000 in direct cash, and radically expanded unemployment benefits. In many states the unemployment checks were over $1,000/week for six months, then reduced to mere $500 to $700 per week. We also expanded health care access, froze evictions, expanded food programs, and more.

I fail to see how people could be struggling so when the US treasury has gifted people with tens of thousands of dollars.

This reads as an amazingly dismissive comment. History matters. It is one of the most valuable ways of teaching empathy. And it is done on a shoestring budget. History grants are regularly 1/100th the size of grants for CS. People are are absolutely doing valuable work even if it isn’t on one of the few topics you seem to value.

Humanities researchers already get slapped in the face constantly by budgets and broader society. They don’t need you to tell them that you think their passion is worthless.
Norton’s dome is intriguing; other departures from determinism in classical physics include “space invaders”: in some many-particle systems a particle can develop an infinite velocity, which sends it “out of world”; then time reversibility means it can enter the world unpredictably.

That's not true at all, OpenReach[1] is putting fiber to the door in all kinds of small villages and other rural environments. There are many other providers. I think Virgin Media got the edge because of an acquisition of TelNet (or named something like that?) which laid a bunch of the groundwork infrastructure for fiber in the 90s, mainly in cities.

I'm going to throw the unpopular opinion in the ring: I like their statement. I like that their team is able to have common beliefs among themselves, and can share those beliefs. There used to be an internet where people could share what they believe, and if you hated it, you just ignored it.

While I am a Christian, I don't agree with 100% of this set of rules. For a small sample,

> Chastise the body.

> Recognize always that evil is your own doing, and to impute it to yourself.

> Daily in your prayers, with tears and sighs, confess your past sins to God, and amend them for the future.

> Obey in all things the commands of those whom God has placed in authority over you even though they (which God forbid) should act otherwise, mindful of the Lord's precept, "Do what they say, but not what they do."

That is not biblical (well, those could be in the Catholic bible, not 100% sure) at all, but that's fine. Now we all know where they stand, and what they find important.

Making First Sales Hire
the one problem with these solutions is the marketing is left up entire to me to get traffic.
This is the problem with capitalism - company is starting to be getting too big to fail and the rich are looking to exploit it as a storage of wealth and influence. It has no longer a mission to provide value for customers, but to provide value to shareholders while doing everything in its power to keep or increase the value and stifle the competition, so that customers who no longer like the product had nowhere to go.
When a company reaches that point it should be ordered to split by law or it should not be allowed to be sold to other company.
Another thing that needs fixing is corporate ownership - it should only be possible for individuals to hold shares - as individual will unlikely to have a negative influence as corporate shareholders do.

It doesn't know what the author's intention is:

"import for the side-effects", or "oops, that was a mistake".

It's not that it fails, it's that it rejects.
The paper mentions leptoquarks (particles that interact with leptons and quarks with potentially different coupling strengths for different leptons therefore breaking lepton universality) or some unknown heavy (didn't look into it any further but I guess the heavy requirement is there because otherwise we would already have observed its effects, I don't think it's necessary for this particular observation) neutral boson that would for example allow flavor changing of leptons ("flavor" means whether it is an electron, muon our tau lepton).

> But I can get my work done for the day within 3 to 4 hours, and my manager is happy with how much work I'm doing, and the pace at which it happens. That means that for the rest of the day around those 4 hours, I can do whatever I want.

This is on purpose: as a senior dev, I estimate 1 point to 4 hours of coding work. (Roughly.)

Of the other 4 hours in your day, I expect roughly 1 hour CR stuff/editing wikis/answering emails, 1-2 hours meetings, 0-1 hour learning, and 1 hour walking in circles between things/bathroom/coffee.

Welcome to a “work day”.

The part of the office that’s a benefit is those two hours of coffee + learning can be with other people — and those 1-2 hours of meetings tend to be more productive.
> access is assumed to last for a session

Through proper scoping the "session" can be boiled down to "this single payment request, for X merchant and Y amount", so not a problem in practice?

> 3-D Secure already allows users to grant one-time requests, without the song and dance of a useless access token.

3D-Secure is terrible implementation, requiring the user to input potentially sensitive data into (what looks like) an iframe on a potentially untrusted webpage. There's no guarantee the 3D-Secure frame you see is real. OAuth in contrast relies on redirecting to your bank's website, so provided you check the domain and HTTPS is not compromised you can be guaranteed you're talking to your bank and not an impostor.

3D-Secure also relies on the device you're making the payment on be capable of running a web browser and accepting user input. It's impossible to use on certain devices (TVs, etc) while OAuth supports alternative flows for exactly this purpose.

> I fail to see how this is a feature of OAuth specifically.

OAuth already supports requesting specific scopes and passing arbitrary metadata to the auth server, where as 3D-Secure authenticates the current transaction but otherwise you're still just handing over a card number and given the number is typically the same everywhere, the bank has no easy & reliable way to enforce per-merchant limits.

This shouldn’t be downvoted it’s accurate. Several screw ups happened during the trials. AZ and Oxford are now paying the price for that lack of trust.

AstraZeneca has no experience developing vaccines. As a result they’ve massively screwed up multiple times before. Frankly, even the original approval they got from the UK should never have been given, considering how tainted their original trials in Brazil were.

Basically what seems to have happened is that Oxford university developed the vaccine, required that companies who wanted to manufacture and sell it should not make a profit, and therefore only got companies with little vaccine development experience, such as AstraZeneca, which probably due to their lack of experience has been making mistake after mistake.

That being said, we have seen that with COVID the vast majority of vaccines have been extremely successful (some like the Russian and Chinese ones were deployed without complete testing and were shown to have great results), and since we are confident the AZ vaccine is safe enough, ans we can see the impact in the UK, there’s a strong justification to authorize using it even without proper results.

Just not in the US, which already has access to enough vaccines for its population without needing the AZ zone.

SARS-CoV-2 was first detected in Wuhan, but it's not that clear that it's where it originated. The genetic divergence between RaTG13 and SARS-CoV-2 is explained with about 20 years of natural evolution, which puts the common ancestor somewhere in late 2000s, and given that bats migrate, the ancestor occurred potentially anywhere in Eurasia or even Africa.

Post-hoc analysis of waste water and patient samples in Europe shows that it was circulating in Europe by mid-late 2019, way before the patient 0 in Wuhan.

So the leak hypothesis, while feasible, would have to address why the virus was seemingly abroad before it became a problem in Wuhan itself.

Of course it's a reasonable hypothesis, but putting it as number 1 is kind of reframing the whole picture.
So's letting malicious actors permanently obliterate the reputation of one of the vaccines before we can get the data in to know if there's actually an issue. Media headlines are a really sucky way to do data science.

I upvoted you but you vastly overstate what that link actually says

- this 40-80% estimate is from a process that doesn't exist yet. They might discover/invent this process but there's nothing to indicate that they will. As the headline says "they are developing a plan", kinda like how people are developing a plan to power society with fusion reactors.

- Right now, cement works. It's worked for 200 years. There is no incentive or pressure to change. Carbon credits specifically carve out exceptions for cement, so the cost of polluting isn't borne by them.

- Even if money was found to create a new competing substance that polluted less, it wouldn't be trusted as much as cement is with it's 200 year track record.

What I'm getting from this article is that there is no change afoot in the cement industry. At best the energy they use might come from cleaner sources but that it's it. At it's heart it will still remain CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
