I'm not sure how having different geography means there isn't still lots to learn in the area where those countries are ahead. Like a company can be using a different programming language doesn't completely detract from learning how to use version control.

Part of what Alon is saying is that for USA we are ahead in most other stuff and so we don't have this expectation to learn from other countries but we are behind in this area.

My last test for NMO was a little over a year ago. It was definitively negative. I'm responding really well to Ocrelizumab, which my neurologist tells me would probably be what he would treat me with for NMO too, so it's sort of a moot point for me whether it's MS or NMO. Treatment is the same, outcomes are the same.
Fair response. Can we agree that not everyone gives an hour back to their employer? Or, to go a step further... can we agree that some WFH people give less of their time to their employer relative to their previous in-office time? I doubt that those people will respond here, so any anecdotal evidence is just that - anecdotal. The fact that Google is not continuing with WFH must imply that their leadership's sense is that WFH is not helping them.
Once an employee has built a report with their team, knows their roll, is fully trained, properly equipped, and demonstrates proficiency at their job..... then I'm cool letting staff work from home. I suspect Google has the leadership, supervision, and infrastructure to do all those things at a large scale. Unfortunately for my crew I find brining everyone in is waaaaay more efficient....carbon emissions aside.

The nursing home deaths are no more or less related to the house seat than any other small scale demographic event that happened last year.

The deaths are arguably far less consequential than the effect of people leaving the state to move away from the early impact of the pandemic and into remote work scenarios.
Does there exist any evidence tropical algebra is used in practice, and is significantly better than older approaches to the problem? As far as I know, the answer is negative.
I’d imagine it depends on what you’re trying to send out and the size of it.

You're definitely instilling a state on your body that's more normal. Being sleepy does make someone more prone to errors and injuries, though, so I wouldn't count on it as a substitute long term. Anecdote: I've also had a walk around the block help me sleep. Particularly if the house or bed is too hot to sleep.
I don‘t even disagree it’s better. But the AppStore is still an embarrassment for the money it brings in. I guess comfort does make complacent.

> There is no doubt that America needs to get much better at rail and other mass transit and that there is a lot to be learned from the rest of the world.

No doubt? I have doubts.

Does America need to have better rails? I highly doubt it. If we can speed up existing rails without building new rails, that would be nice. Building new rails? Why don't we just improve air travel?

Does America need to have better mass transit? I am not sure. I know there are lots of people on NH love mass transit, but I am not a fan of it. And many Americans don't like it either, because mass transit has its disadvantages (1. do not directly bring you from point A to B, 2. difficult to travel with kids, 3. difficult to go to stations in bad weather, 4. can't bring lots of stuff with you, 5. have to check time schedule, etc. etc.). Maybe improve personal vehicle is the way to go?

Lots of people here are against Uber, but do you want to think about how to improve the taxi system, instead of blaming Uber?
If the reading comprehension ITT is typical of Americans, TFA may well be correct.
Interstellar travel is theoretically possible. If we have advanced far enough to theorize about it, then it's not outside the realm of reason that a hypothetical civilization millennia more advanced than us would be able to develop the technology. The universe is so unfathomably large and the building blocks for life so common there is no way we are the only life in the universe. It just defies logic. In fact I'd bet money we'll find life in our own solar system within our lifetimes.

That is not at all what the modernization act did. It allows Voice of America and other clearly government owned media outlets to also broadcast in the United States. Independent fact checkers agree [0].

The "opinion wars" in the US are won on what you consider to be the dominant social media networks. Again, if you want to convince a bunch of people to overthrow Putin, those daily active users are on VK - not Facebook.

But you literally can't use a lack of evidence of US influence on US social networks as proof that it is happening. Your second link plainly states that the US created an entirely new social network to try and influence Cuba, they didn't do it on Instagram. Hold yourself to a higher standard.

Not worth it. Saving a small percentage of your revenue per year and taking a larger percentage hit in productivity seems like a bad deal. I think hybrid work model will win, and offices will be required moving forward to support that.
No issue with licensing, all of those services had extremely lax and open APIs, it wasn't until the last few years that they started shutting down nearly all access. There was a huge push for open APIs for over a decade and then they started taking it away under the guise of 'user safety' when really it was due to 'can't make more money' with it.

This is actually the biggest proof that the big players, including the gov, don't take co2 emissions seriously. If JP Morgan's Dimon is bragging about how he'll pull employees back to offices and the WH pretends to look the other way, it's safe to assume they don't give two shits about the carbon whatever. Real estate prices is what really matters to them.
Absolutely. What it will do is destroy forever the independence of the Supreme Court. That is far to high a price to pay for temporary political advantage, for either side. (Which is not to say that somebody won't try...)

The reMarkable tablet and similar tools expand on a whiteboard's features without getting in the way of the existing ones. Only downside is scale, though it's amazing to dream of a wall-sized reMarkable.
They're useful for parallel construction. I.e. in identifying designs to be validated through more conventional and computationally-demanding methods.
I don't think this is surprising given globalism and the US. The countries got together and kinda said "hey, instead of having a bunch of armies why don't we just have one big army?" Thought being that countries with big militaries want to use them. So where to put that big military? Across an ocean and away from the first world. I mean that's essentially the super powers theory. It is of course a tricky cost benefit problem because the US spends more money on their military than other countries (and needs to to follow this line of reasoning) while other countries can use that money for other social programs. So that's a big cost. But a big benefit (or maybe a cost) is that the military industrial complex is extremely profitable and has helped the US economically. But of course this leads to the US being the neocolonial power. But we also act like the US is the only one in favor of many of the decisions it has made. The US is the biggest (Western) presence in the Middle East but far from the only.

It is a complex topic that for some reason we don't talk about much. I find the theory really interesting because hind sight we haven't had major wars like we did in the past. But clearly this leaves the US wanting to use its military (though that's the basis of the theory in the first place).
There are things that any school system excels at more than others. My Bulgarian ex-wife was really good (in comparison to myself and others we met) with trig identities. Math seemed to be strongly emphasized in her youth but that didn’t necessarily impart good overall judgement.

Critical thinking is a core skill that needs to be nurtured for sure. However, critical thinking is useless without basic facts… which means there needs to be some emphasis on wrote memorization. Sometimes those two things can feel at odds; Why memorize anything when it can just be derived?

In a country that simultaneously fights over reciting a pledge because it has “under God” while also fighting against teaching evolution, it’s pretty amazing that we function at all.

I like physical books, and I want to buy more. But for $1k you can also get access to O'Reilly's [0] library ($499/year) which has a ton of excellent books on a variety of topics (not just programming). It's not as good as 10 years ago when they offered download tokens (I have so many PDFs from those days), but it's still a good system. And you can sometimes get discounts (ACM or IEEE used to get you access for half the cost, so total of ACM/IEEE + O'Reilly was basically the same as just O'Reilly, not sure the current discounts I get it through my employer). Then that $500 remaining can be directed towards higher quality books (especially ones you want on your reference shelf) or other materials.

Yes and Yes, but acknowledging this doesn't mean we should go back to the previous one size fits all model of mandatory on site working.
>The company has responded by posting anti-union messages on TV screens at JFK8, the fulfillment center where Smalls used to work. “KNOW THE FACTS BEFORE YOU SIGN A UNION CARD,”

So, if that is an "anti-union" message, I guess anything the union posts is an "anti-business" message, or are unions always good and business always bad.
Very misleading and basically entirely false headline.

Well you must've spent your life being rejected by the Japanese? It is not like the majority of Korean or Chinese wouldn't smirk at having their sons/daughters with black spouse or Japanese spouse (shocking I know right? but it is the reality, do you know?)? or dare I say, even Arabs, or whites, or south east Asians. There will be people who look down on other people, regardless of race and nationality.

For the record, maybe you haven't met a nice non racist Japanese person yet, that's why your reaction is like that. There are quite a number of mixed ancestry in Japanese society, most of them do fine.
> Untrue. Employers aim for that but they often fail.

> The Credit Suisse employees that lost $5 billion due to Archegos were overpaid.

Edge cases. Most people work for businesses that make a profit, and those businesses' profit comes from the difference between the value its employees create and the salary it pays to them (at least in aggregate).

> Finally, for some professional jobs productivity is hard to measure, yet you may employ many people because in aggregate they make a profit. At an individual level, the profit margin can vary from negative to positive.

You're confusing what is meant by the "value of your labor". Of course what GP meant is "the value of your labor as seen by your employer". If everyone could create the same value they create in an organized business while working solo then nobody would work a job as it would just be losing money.
It seems to require a lot more effort than traditional lumber and can't really be mass produced. I doubt the output/input ratio (whatever you consider as the input: man-hour, monetary cost, carbon footprint) is any better either.

In other words, I think it's more like a luxury, and I won't call luxury items "sustainable".
In this case you should invest a lot of your time (read the whitepaper, look at the code base, and learn monetary history (Bitcoin Standard book), as it's a very important decision.

Buying/selling just because other people buy/sell is a great way to lose money.
It’s a minor footnote, but the article specifically says that the Homestead Acts were for white people, twice, which didn’t sound right and made me curious enough to look it up. The 1862 Homestead Act, passed during the Civil War, made anyone 21 and older eligible, including freed slaves after the Fourteenth Amendment. Here’s an article about African American homesteaders:

Interstellar travel is theoretically possible with technology contemporary with the Beatles. Look up Project Orion.

But wouldn’t we see them if they were here?

It’s called space for a reason. It’s hard for the human mind to wrap itself around just how vast even our own solar system is, how many solid bodies there are, etc.

If they maintained relative radio quiet and used only directional signals or lasers you could hide a sizable alien settlement in our solar system and we’d be unlikely to find it unless we got lucky. Space is just so damn big.

SETI has checked a few grains of sand on the beach and found nothing and you now have people making tortured arguments about the Fermi paradox and great filters.

We have barely looked, and given things like Project Orion we ought to pay more attention to our own cosmic back yard. The percentage of even our own solar system we have explored is miniscule.

Senior eng makes $400k+ TC. You're rarely buying a house alone. Most eng at FAANG end up marrying others who are similar. Easy to see $600k+ TC.

You can buy a home nearby. Sunnyvale has homes for $2m or less and you can afford it at $600K household. Very reasonable commute.

If you want 3000+ sqft and 5-bath homes then yeah, you're out of luck. Hit executive level or startup riches for that one.

To act like Google doesn't pay enough to afford a home in Bay Area though is BS. The whole reason the area is so expensive is because FAANG pays so damn much to keep pulling in more talent. (It's a cycle)

Also - you could rent. Most eng I meet at FAANG have no interest in ownership out of principal. They just want investment potential. Renting is frequently very good. Only reason you'd buy is for leverage but you won't get good leverage here in SFBA because you have to do all cash offer. So, just invest in market instead.

If the vector is replicating, does that explain some piece of why Sputnik V is significantly more effective than the other adenovirus vector vaccines? (If that's even true, of course, since it may well not be!) Or is it simply a more effective preparation of a vaccine, due to things like the Ad5/Ad26 combination?

My intuition, given the absolute (small) magnitude of blood clots, is that it’s not a huge issue.

Except that it is, because it has people spooked. Humans, myself included, are just terrible at gauging relative risk, and it doesn’t really matter that you are way more likely to die in your car driving to get the vaccine than from any vaccine complication. You are putting this in your arm, and people find it scary when even the tiniest issues crop up.

(I’ll snark a bit here: wonder how many people who are scared of vaccines smoke cigarettes…because, in terms of risk…hoo boy.)
I do not know about daisugi but I do recommend planting a tree or having a bonsai tree. Trees can offer you many lessons about life and decision making.

Eh, every nation and culture has their problems. It is not a binary situation, everything has tradeoffs. Japan be Japan because they do the things that Japan does, and so Japan has Japan problems, not American or European problems. European do European way of doing things, that's why they have European problems. America does too.
Thanks for the recommendation, that looks like a great resource.
IDk. I live in Japan and it was amusing at first, but now I hate that everything is making noises, playing melodies and being generally loud.

I wouldn't place the onus on stimulus, I would place the fact that more people were home, more people were without jobs, and more people were spending time on FB than they ever had before. The need for social relationships and contact of any kind is a high priority for most of the population.

They spent more time on the site, more ads were displayed (12-15% more per post) and the cost of advertising rose.
Telegram is one potential answer. I find it to be the fastest messaging platform , and super reliable. Not to mention their desktop apps are not bloated, and message history, drafts, etc sync really well. (note - there is also a secret mode that works like signal, that also doesn't sync message content, which is parity with signal)
I understood this point, but honestly the author's writing style is fairly combative for a piece that is responding to absolutely no one. Generally when I've said, "We should do x like y, because they do it better" I figured out that people are often off-put by this because it's been used in reductionist ways to avoid having to answer very we-centric problems.

I think the KDE team is very productive and have influenced the desktop experience greatly. Much of that influence is not well understood but can be seen in all the descendants of Konqueror (almost every modern browser now).
