I’m sympathetic to your POV.

However, sometimes there is no root cause other than “Hyacinth had me try sniffing some glue and I got hooked”.

Sure, some kids can say “no”, but many give in to peer pressure and after a few times there is no going back.

I do agree with a good therapeutic environment, but relapses are common, so it takes vigilance and follow up and so on.
Experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other. There is nothing more common now than the remark that the physical condition of the freedmen of the South is immeasurably worse than in the time of slavery; that in respect to food, clothing and shelter they are wretched, miserable and destitute; that they are worse masters to themselves than their old masters were to them. To add insult to injury, the reproach of their condition is charged upon themselves.

An amazing point getting recognized more and more.

As an aside lots of SaaS products seem to be going this way for monetization - free for "basic" use but pay for teams.

Which is fair enough, but the jump often is insane - free gives you X, Y, Z and you can do basic collaboration, but go from 3 to 4 or otherwise pass some arbitrary limit and you go from $free/month to $300/mo (as now EVERYONE needs the $20/mo plan, etc). It's often too big a gap to cross.

Better are the "pay for power users, the free plan can watch them do their thing" as that lets you slide in and slowly increase spend. (It's much easier to get corporate approval for $20/mo and then slowly increase that than to try to get approval for $300/mo out of the gate).

Considering only 6% are provably true Covid deaths, I'm really not so sure the number of lives lost isn't something to scoff at. Most people that say something like that also get in a car almost every day.

Is that an equal burden for every candidate, in every life circumstance? Or does it privilege certain groups over others? The ROI isn't the point. Requiring preparation unrelated to the job is highly suspect, regardless of the return.
Key Perl Core developer Sawyer X quits
>but the license should be about source code freedom

This is not true, GPL is about "user freedom", repeat it 3 times, "USER" freedom. This is why it gates hate from some developers or entrepreneurs here, it removes the freedom of the developer to abuse the user or in recent cases companies to profit from community work and not give anything back or even harming the original project with FUD or unfair competition.
"QWERTY was designed to slow typists down" appears to be somewhat disputed claim, at least going by Google results. There are a few articles [0, 1] based on a paper [2] saying that the design was more due to feedback from telegraph operators rather than anything to do with typewriter mechanics.

On the other hand, if you subscribe to the "reduced jams" view, then that would arguably have the effect of speeding up typing due to having to deal with jams less frequently.

I've heard of vaccinated people coming down with covid. Vaccines are reported to be extremely effective against hospitalization and death, but it looks like there's some evidence vaccines don't completely prevent spreading it.
To be fair space launches are probably quite lethal for the many in the general population.
Why are these historical facts being voted down?
Most people agree with that, but only a few will expose themselves saying this.
> While the long-term consequences are still unknown

> Additional studies are required to fully understand the virus, but for now, follow-up testing is essential to understand the long-term effects of the virus.
Let me just give you a hint: you don't even get the faintest chance to have one-millionth of Apple's level of potential "control" without creating many many years of quality, first. I'm surprised you don't see that.
I think there's an argument to be made that we can make the cost benefit analysis with or without assuming the vaccine is a silver-bullet. The CDC is choosing to not make that assumption and make the analysis that way.

I don't think it's fair to put that methodology in the same bucket as anti-vax logic.
There's one set of rules/guidelines?
Parts of San Jose are equivalent to semi-arid desert. In the summer, it was always very, very dry in the Almaden and Santa Cruz foothills. Go up The Dish in early October and see how yellow the grass is.

The whole peninsula has "microclimates" with frequently changing weather and different climatic conditions. Perhaps if this happens for many years, the climate there is changing to be more like a desert.

Related to this, I don't understand why recovering from Covid and having Igm and Igg antibodies confirmed by test doesn't count the same as having received a full vaccination.

Isn't that exactly what the vaccine does? The end result is you get antibodies that last for several months at least, and cannot get reinfected.

And yet, every time I need to travel I need a PCR test. It's not often at all, mind you, but going between 2 countries is a major pain.

Meanwhile professional drivers, and only them, are allowed to travel with a previous positive Covid test + Igg antibodies test. And last time I crossed the border, they let in a woman who had a lateral flow test, smh.

It makes no sense to me.

Anyone has any insight aside from downvotes?
Covid Vaccine Booster Shots Are Coming – Q&A with Moderna Trial Participant
It's if you consider X,Y dimensions. Z axis is controlled by law as well so we can't build up to alleviate the congestion in X,Y plane. Furthermore, parking lots and accessibility laws take up a lot of space in cities which take up the free-available X,Y supply.

IMO the biggest problem is Z axis and the infrastructure enabling it (public transportation) for example.

However, since Z axis is stuck, we choose to suburbanize and infinitely expand beyond reasonable sized cities effectively making unlimited supply of real estate. Look at Phoenix and Houston.

So, what you're talking about is real-estate in places like Bay Area and New York cities. Which is not a general argument.
TBH, pointless questions in interviews is not exclusive to programmer interviews.

Pretty much any white collar job interview is an intellectual joust at best, and a mild hazing ritual at worst.

They are eaten mostly by student, because its cheap, full of calories, and goes well with an evening at a bar drinking beers with other students.

At least that's what they are in Grenoble, which is a melting pot and has a very high number of students: I think there is about 70,000 students in the city (not including high school or below) for around 400,000 inhabitants. So any bar/pub where the beer is cheap is always full.

This article [0] mentions 50% more blood clots observed during vaccine trials, which at the time was characterized as a slight numerical imbalance (15 blood clots versus 10 in the placebo group, in a trial of 20k people)

The 6 cases out of 7 million would appear to be the most serious/unusual/cerebral blood clots, but that number does not include all blood clots.

I don't mean to advocate against the vaccine with these numbers, just add data. I see the 6 out of 7 million number batted around a lot and that's not a complete picture.

Seems fairly clear and concise.
Decades ago we implemented a time card system which worked by having the employee use a phone at the location, many locations had one or more phones which could be used, to clock in and out of work. Since we used an ANI feed you could not spoof it; I cannot guarantee that is or is not possible to spoof now.

I certainly cannot agree with requiring workers to use their own phone for this. if the company wants that app then it should provide the phone or use another means to guarantee they are on site.

Truckers being tracked is because the penalties involved are very real and enforced for reasons of safety to drivers and other users of the nations roads. tracking someone cleaning buildings or homes is a bit on the absurd side as most of us agree
I certainly had that feeling ... until 5 days after my first shot when I tested positive for COVID (which I almost certainly contracted at the pharmacy where I got the shot). Talk about an emotional rollercoaster. Thankfully my case was very mild so maybe the vaccine still helped.

But now that I'm doubly protected (natural antibodies and vaccine-induced antibodies?) I'm ready for that hedonistic summer you mentioned - where do I sign up!?
This is a bit of a side track, but does anyone actually use Pinterest? That is the site that taught me -site:Pinterest.* for google searches. :p
I think size may also be construed as "infrastructure." For example, Facebook now has a couple of billion users. It has reached the point where we often have to get Facebook accounts/pages, if we want to reach certain users. In short, Facebook has become necessary to "survive," in a sense.

That sort of puts it into the realm of a utility; like power or water.

The idea of a utility, is that it is deliberately allowed to become a monopoly, sometimes, with state enforcement. The flip side, is that it is now required to provide a lot of services.

For example, if some old folks can't pay their electric, in winter, the utility might be required to supply them with electricity anyway, and eat the cost, or claim it as a tax deduction.

That's the downside. The upside is...MONOPOLY, BABY! WOO-HOO! PAAAARTAAAY!

So there's a big carrot, as well as stick. People who own utilities tend to get pretty damn rich.

This all kinda breaks down, if the utility is already a monopoly, so the state assigning them monopoly status means nothing. No carrot; only stick. It also breaks down, if the utility manages to corrupt the regulators, thus eliminating the stick.

Facebook is already a monopoly. It doesn't need the state to give it anything; certainly not with a stick, attached. Thus, the "Standard Oil" remedy.

Apple isn't quite like Facebook, but it's getting there. The problem is that a lot of what gives its products value, is that iron-fisted control Apple has over their configuration. If that control is diluted, then it would also reduce the value of Apple products.
Yes, but the maintenance cost is probably that much or more per year.
I think most grocery stores have something similar. When I worked at Giant about 15 years ago, I used a self-contained scan gun (basically an overpriced Windows Mobile 5 PDA stapled onto a barcode scanner) when I had to do "the walk," which was the hourly store inspection. Decidedly lower-tech than even a badge reader, but it got the job done and my boss didn't have to know where I was during my time off.
It's been proven a rousing success, actually, and needs to stay, urgently.

Not exactly sure what procreation has to do with anything.

Also pretty sure risk of death outweighs literally any possible long-tail risk, so still seems sensible for the young to get the vax. Also don't think the long-tail risk of an mRNA vaccine can be worse then COVID's long-tail risk.
YES! That is it. Thank you.

Appreciate the clear messaging, I think they need more coherence regarding masking, otherwise they lose credibility.

I also think the CDC should start to heavily invest in STI prevention now...
Every time our government agencies have tried to manipulate the public by being economical with the truth instead of just being honest and open about the balancing consideration all they’ve done is burned massive amounts of credibility with the public and given rise to conspiracy theories.

How am I supposed to counter these conspiracy theories when government officials are concededly out there telling “noble” lies?
I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted, but it could be down to the "more mutations are appearing from the UK and South Africa" line - as I understand it, we know about those mutations just because the UK and SA are doing a very good job of documenting every mutation they come across. There'll be just as many, if not more, variations in the US but the US isn't bothering to track and document them.
> It’s still critical everyone continue to wear masks and social distance in public.

Why? Honestly, I don't understand this line of thinking at all for the fully vaccinated. The CDC said vaccinated people don't spread the virus [1]. They also said vaccinated people can gather without masks.[2] In RARE instances the South African variant escapes the Pfizer vaccine, but the vast majority of people vaccinated won't get sick from it.[3] Sure, be careful, but that doesn't mean we need to live in irrational fear.

The Lex Fridman podcast interview with Jeff Hawkins is solid:

I was in this boat as well for quite some time. Early COVID, I bought a programmable (QMK-based) keyboard and hard-coded the keys to match the Dvorak layout, since most of my interactions with PCs was via RDP-like situations (Horizon Web Client, VMs, RDP). This way, I could keep everything configured to QWERTY and just use my keyboard. On my laptop, I have it set up with both layouts, so that if I don't have my QMK keyboard connected (in my lap, travelling, etc), I can just hit Ctrl-Shift and switch the built-in keyboard to Dvorak.

To me, this is the best setup. Only pain point is that it required me to configure the 2 PC games I play to fit with my Dvorak configuration, since the PC sees it as me typing on a QWERTY keyboard with alien hands.

Of course, when you replace a word with a synonym you're misdirecting the reader from one set of connotations to another. For example, in a master/slave system, I expect the two components to be interlocked somehow, with the slave being unable to continue if the master hangs. On the other hand, in a primary/secondary setup, the two components should be peers with either being able to continue without the other.

> But then I went to the in-person interviews. Being a self taught software developer who has been programming since I was 12, I had no idea how to reverse a binary tree. Or whatever I was supposed to do with some of the probability related word problems I got. Or certain questions about complicated SQL queries (I use an ORM, rarely do I need to write a query by hand). I had been working as a consultant and/or starting companies for almost 10 years and found the b2b sales process is literally nothing like the hiring process for SV companies. In one we talked about project goals and solutions, in the other we talked about hypothetical word problems that I have no doubt are popular in CS programs.

Some of the views you will find below are conflicting. No need to call me a hypocrite, I am familiar with my dissonance on this matter.

I'm a self-taught engineer and I work in the SV and SV-adjacent scenes. People who are self-taught genuinely have a hard time at the beginning and middle stages of their careers, to the extent that it can break you. If you try to explain this to any CE or CS graduate it's like they lift their magical empathy goggles and provide a full stream of excuses for the current paradigm that excludes both good and bad talent.

Where I'm about to be a hypocrite is now. My unpopular opinion is that gatekeeping is just fine, but it's all in the details. If you are gatekeeping based on knowledge that is commonly acquired in college, then you are gatekeeping for education and by proxy gatekeeping for status. If your interview process involves binary search but you don't do binary search by hand during your day to day, you are gatekeeping for education and by proxy status. That said, I'm a curious person and I know how to implement some recursive binary search because fiddling with sorted numbers can be fun when I'm inebriated and bored. It also shows some uncommon competency, so it is a great gatekeeping tool for curiosity and quality. The question I began asking myself is how I balance the equation. If a non-college/CS/CE educated person struggles with more fundamental math, then the trick is to introduce tasks which also disqualify them in higher numbers. For this, I found systems design to be an incredible tool, and one that non-college/CS/CE people tend to excel at. I'm sure there's more. At the end of the day, my team has a high bar for quality needs, but balancing the equation was important so that people like me would still get through the pipeline.
Provided a larger sample size, doesn’t an increasing rate of an outcome suggest existence a confounding variable that the smaller previously tested sample failed to identify, and (not absolutely- but more likely than not) would apply increasingly at the larger scale? Not a statistician here- and honestly asking.
If I'm vaccinated, I'm protected. I don't really care if anyone else is vaccinated or not, as I'm not at risk from their decision. Or is this not true?
I think you’re using the word “intelligence” to mean something entirely different from what the AI alignment crowd is worried about.
I imagine more detailed tracking will result in lower insurance premiums as culpability can be more easily established. This will give a competitive advantage to those that implement detailed tracking.
The US economy is led by people who mostly look to create window dressing on profits in order to bail out with a large parachute.

And the increasing economic inequality means that attempts to stabilize our economy are captured mostly by the rich, leading to asset bubbles.

The asset bubbles means that those in the shrinking middle class are being squeezed out of housing, and with the markets now all serving the upper class and permanently in bubble territory everyone is just chasing after lottery tickets in the economy.

Doing a good job and running a company well are naviely old-fashioned values. Everyone just needs to get rich from crypto and that'll save us...

Nothing about this page supports that claim. No-one ever claimed that getting vaccinated means that you are not _carrying_ the virus - simply that you're protected from becoming sick and expressing symptoms. The caution about "things you shouldn't do" is intended to protect at-risk people from asymptomatic carriers (which "vaccinated but still carrying" people are).

Can you elaborate on your claim?
If this is real and not satire, can anyone here defend these practices logically? This can’t possibly be real.
I think that something is actually lost when we go fully digital. Consider, with a real analog synth, one can reach out and change pitch, speed, sustain, attack, release, tone, heck, the actual waveform, amplitude and frequency, ON THE FLY, with more than one pattern. It is not too easy to do that inside a computer (e.g with a GUI). It is not the same feel and is limiting in nature (I can not click on more than one at a time, but I have two hands).

Also, they had quirks that made them more interesting. Your digital counterpart will never have a spurious noise or that thing that makes your album magical compared to others because your Arp Odessy or DMX or 808 had a "problem".
