> Is it really that hard to hire adults who can have reasonable adult conversations (with sometimes differing opinions) without it being a "major distraction"?

What do you do when you have someone that sits in a work slack channel all day fiercely debating politics? Counsel him, sure, but then ultimately you’ll need to fire him.

Inevitably people will wonder if he was fired because of the positions he took (which everyone is fully aware because he never shut up about them) rather than because he wasn’t doing any work. Modern HR best practices foreclose transparency (“we fired so-and-so because he committed just four lines of code in the last two months”).

What’s the best option here?
They frequently do. The contracts they sign often give them some rights in this regard. Companies also optionally give employees these rights all the time because they perceive it to be in their own best interest.

They aren't legally owed them though. So if the company doesn't want to give them that say, then they don't get that say.
Not disagreeing, but a downside of isolation turns out to have been that, now we are effectively Covid free here in Melbourne, hospitals are filling up due to (sometimes serious) other diseases, including cancer, that people left untreated during the various lockdowns.

This is leading to very long ambulance waits at hospital entrances and lead to at least one death when an ambulance wasn’t available. (Sorry that I don’t have time to find a link right now)

To be clear I fully support the government action in Victoria, life is pretty much back to normal here, and looking overseas it seems hard to believe how fortunate we are, but it was not without unexpected consequences.
You should take a moment to read your own comment and consider how much raw ideology is packed into it - it's just pure authoritarianism. As an illustration of this, consider this similar comment:

"Why should peasants have any voting power? It is not their country. If they want a say in how it is run they can leave or figure out how to buy into the country as a feudal lord.

Peasants are literally in place to do one thing: trade time/energy for money in service of the King's goals."

What a contract says does not determine what is ethical. I'm interested in worker control over their own workplaces. Plenty of countries already do this, Germany for instance has board seats reserved for workers as mandatory for all large companies.
As a reader (LOL) I find it to be a strong negative signal when someone identifies prominently as a reader, puts that in their Twitter bio, wears T-shirts or caries tote bags with reading-related slogans, et c. For some reason it usually turns out that they almost exclusively read young adult, trashy genre fiction, thrillers, romance novels, that kind of thing. Which is fine! I read garbage sometimes too! It's fun! But people who watch reality TV, 24-hour news, and Lifetime movies, don't wear shirts with... hold on, let me find some of these reader t-shirts with an image search:

"Obsessive TV-Watching Disorder" or "TV watchers gonna TV watch" or "Eat Sleep TV-Watch" or "Never underestimate the power of a girl with a TV"

Not sure why things are that way, but I'd go out of my way not to broadcast a "reader" identity, for this reason.

For future reference, the Workplace SE site [0] might be a better place to get more eyeballs on questions like this. That being said, personally I would not rush this. If I understood you correctly, you've listed your expectations and are waiting for an offer or something similar from the company. The best option right now is to wait and see what the offer is — whether the company tries to undercut you, offers you what they've listed elsewhere or something else entirely, it will be a good indication of how they are likely to treat you in the long run.

Flip it around as well. Take for example Zika. When passed from mother to unborn it can cause various brain abnormalities. But perhaps eons ago a virus is what made homo sapiens more intelligent. If a virus can mangle the brain it can also nudge it in a positive direction.

You can't learn from "just" reading books. You need to experience the real world to know what "The girl jumped into the stream and wet her shoes, her mum was not amused" means.

Your brain probably made a simulation of girl wearing shoes, jumping, water splashing, wet shoes. You need to know water makes things wet, people can jump, there is gravity. The motivation behind jumping was fun. Humans like to have fun. Wet shoes is not healthy. A mum is the mother and care taker for a girl.

When we're comprehending reading, we're building 3d simulations in our mind and deducing a ton of other info. AIs can't really do that just yet. They don't understand the world like we do.

> Tesla isn't some start up that just IPO'd, it's one of the world's largest companies.

Based on what?

Employees? 70K is not even on the chart. (Top 10? 500K+)

Revenue? $31.5B is also not even on the chart. (Top 50? $130B+)

Profit? $800M, again, not even on the chart. (Top 10? $24B).

Market cap? This is the only area where Tesla broaches the top ten, and it has nothing to do with being a "large" company.
The early official testing steps are in cell lines and animals.

And then to do a one off test of a compound that inhibits a virus you have to expose yourself to the virus.

I don't particularly doubt your speculation that there are cowboys, but I'm not sure what they would expect to learn by administering these complex compounds to themselves.
All the old stuff is still there! I don't mean to presume but I notice often this kind of divide happens where EEs don't like the software side, because it could 'just' be done in hardware I suppose, and is boring because computers.

I get that; but I sorry of enjoy each independently I suppose. (I technically graduated EE but to be honest mostly studied CS and work in software.) I've been enjoying sort of rediscovering my childhood passion of electronics recently I suppose.

You can still use through-hole discretes on veroboard if you want to, nobody forces you to order a professionally made board with a BGA pad and little else for your whole design on an FPGA. Will we ever not be able to get 555 and 74x ICs?

(As an aside, I'm sure there were the same conversations happening when ICs (or solid state transistors at all) became available!)
> What a contract says does not determine what is ethical

Or what is legal. So many people don't assert their rights because some random piece of paper (or online form) told them they can't, when it would be completely unenforceable in a local court.
It seems that in trying to debunk marketing spin you've deployed even worse spin of your own:

> the premium sedan category (including Tesla 3) is declining overall

Uh... wat? Model 3 sales are growing very rapidly! Trying to argue that they aren't because the category they are being compared to is not is... somewhat weird.

I mean, look. The M3 is now selling more cars than Mercedes or BMW do in the same price segment. That's... pretty impressive, isn't it? I don't think that's spin, the E Class and 3 Series are very successful cars. They seem like a pretty good benchmark.

But yes: it's true that people bought fewer of them during the pandemic. It's also not very surprising, nor very informative about Tesla, who sold far more cars in 2020 than 2019.
> One also wonders why reforming the credit bureaus is not a bipartisan concern in Washington.

And one solution might be to simply create a statutory strict liability of $1000 per consumer per breach. The (possiblity of) class action lawsuits would do the rest to encourage correct behavior.

(It might encourage cover-ups as well, but you could penalize that, and incentivize and protect whistleblowing and well-intentioned security research.)
> Truth and reality aren't subjective, but people's beliefs about the nature of them are, very much so. It's impossible to solve the problem by asking "The Experts" to adjudicate what is and isn't true, because The Experts have become too mired in corruption, greed, political intimidation and so on.

I remember well into March 2020 that The Experts were telling us to go about our business as usual, and censoring people who tried raising the alarm about COVID.

I wasn't expecting to like these changes after seeing a ton of tweets from rubyists I respect criticizing them, but after reading them... I love them all.

Companies becoming vocal political entities over the past few years has been mind-blowing and I'm glad to see companies starting to reel it back and get back to, well, being companies. They make products; they don't need to have opinions on unrelated things.

IMO people (even the people in charge of companies) can (and should) have political opinions! _Companies_ shouldn't.

>You shouldn't have to wonder if staying out of it means you're complicit, or wading into it means you're a target.

This line speaks to me a lot. I find 99% of political conversations at work are just pontification and/or signaling; I don't want to waste precious time at work chatting into echo chambers (or starting fights!) -- especially in a context where my opinion (or my coworkers' opinions) literally _do not matter_.

Seems like they handled the paternalistic benefits well also by just providing direct compensation instead. I've felt left out of benefits at companies in the past because I didn't want to use a gym, or buy certain things, etc. It's kind of the same vibe as smoke breaks at some jobs -- you're missing out if you're not a smoker. This seems more inclusive for everyone, and I really appreciate companies recognizing their place in a worker's life: they sign your checks for what you do during work hours.

All in all, these seem like really great changes in theory. With all corporate policies though, we'll see how they're implemented in practice.
Torquemada, Robespierre, Lenin, Cromwell. You already mentioned the Spanish Inquisition, so we’ll skip Torquemada. Robespierre was for a French Republic, and was willing to kill whomever to get it, and was eventually guillotined himself. Lenin helped end Tsarist Russia, then purged a bunch of people during the Red Terror. Cromwell helped create a republic after killing a tyrant that believed in the divine right of kings and didn’t want a constitutional monarchy, and then more or less genocided Irish Catholics.
You are comparing a government to a company. Peasants don't optionally sign contracts to belong to their nation. For the record I think the peasants should and have every moral (althouth probably not legal)right to revolt.

Revolting from your company is called quitting. So go ahead and revolt if you want.

If believing that both companies and workers should have the freedom to set their own terms for how they want to operate within the bounds of the law is authoritarianism then I will proudly take the label although of course, this is directly inverting the definition of authoritarianism.
It can not. Telegram desperately wants to become "one of them".

I think they meant that they want to store "a copy of" all my financial data. That's one more copy. How do I control my data in this scenario?
So you're defining premium cars by the things that everyone hates about those cars, other than build quality.

The German car companies will nickle and dime you to death with options, they have terrible interiors/user interfaces, etc. Granted I wish the model 3 had cooled seats but meh.

Even a model S doesn't count with that logic.

What isn't clear from this snippet, that I think is incredibly cool, is that all of the expressions within a function (here, called processes), actually run in parallel.

In this snippet:

count(N) :- N =< 10 | even(N), N2 is N + 1, count(N2).

count(N) is defined defined as a process that takes an argument named N, and if N is less than or equal to 10, the process changes state to a random process on the right side, and is also forked to become the other two processes.

Where it gets weird, is that the resulting three processes have data dependencies between them, so if the third process were executed first, count(N2), the dependency on N2 wouldn't be satisfied, and so that process would suspend, and a new process be chosen for execution.

It's easy to look at this line of code and think that the three expressions will execute in the order they're written, but any interleaving of them is possible, with that sort of non-determinism being built into the language by design.

I'm currently reading the Strand book, and it more or less describes the language as being Prolog, but without unification and backtracking: instead treating dataflow as being the basis for the computational model.
I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. With these new policies in place it's more explicit that you are firing an employee for being a Trump supporter or trans-rights activist.
In 2019 my infant son had a 3-month period where he was sick at varying levels for 100% of the time. We kept thinking it was some kind of resurgence, until an epidemiologist at the hospital explained to us that he just kept getting different viruses from daycare over and over.

Debunkers got people killed. Facebook, Twitter, and most of the mainstream media suppressed early warnings about COVID.

Warnings that we should wear masks were called fake news and anti-Chinese racism.

And every single person I know who is smug about how ignorant other people are for not getting vaccinated ignored warnings about COVID because it wasn't on a major social media platform or cable television.

Every single person I know who needlessly wears a mask and loves showing off how smart they think they are denied that this was coming until it was far too late.

If COVID had happened in 2014, it would have been much less of a problem because people would have been able to communicate with each other.

I wish I could say that people have learned from their mistakes.

If you were wrong then, isn't it possible you are wrong now?

It was not the federal government that explicitly said this (emphasis explicitly) but rather an MP for Vaughn in Ontario. His name is Adam Vaughan and he said this two weeks or so ago.
https://betterdwelling.com/canada-says-property-bubble-not-g...

Yes, BetterDwelling is a permabear but Vaughan's comments are legitimate. He said it in an interview with TVO.

On another note, the 30% number seems ridiculous. And, yet, do not be surprised if Canadians seriously believe this. Remember, people have been screaming bubble for a decade, and there has been no such pop yet. Of course, I think this is unsustainable. At 6-12% growth rate you're looking at like low to mid 8 figure values...for the average home. At 15-30% you're looking at hundreds of millions of dollars over 30 years. Ridiculous, isn't it?

Interesting discussion on the Financial Times comments section about young people feeling insecure also highlights this property inflation. Basically, the AngloSphere has decided to inflate assets and forget about industrious activity. In the long run, you just end up with a hollow, low productivity and low social mobility country.

Is this acceptable? Well, Canadians aren't voting against it. Of course, this is because they think they are getting richer. In reality, the country is just heavily indebted and consuming tomorrow's income today. I am keeping most of my savings down south with the Americans and their equity market. If the BoC can keep the bonanza going, so can the Americans.
Viruses (or bacteria) don't "evolve to bypass" vaccines, antibiotics, or anything else. They generally have a pretty constant mutation rate, the vast majority of which are deleterious.

The more people that have a virus, the more copies are out there mutating, and the more mutations (in total) you'll see.

If you introduce negative pressure, like a vaccine or antibiotics, some of those mutations that were previously deleterious will turn out to be a net benefit. E.g: A thicker cell wall in bacteria makes it harder to absorb nutrients, but also increases the dose of antibiotic it can survive. These mutations happen all the time by chance, but in the absence of the vaccine/antibiotics, they are less fit and will tend to die off.

A vaccine that eliminates a virus is likely to result in less infections. Less infections means less mutations means less chance for a dangerous variant. If some variants do evolve that escape the vaccine, odds are good that they will be less dangerous than the original, not more.
