Same with "Self-care" - are you burning out at your job? Do you need a break? Clearly it's because you are failing at "self-care", not because your job is stressful or unreasonable. It pushes the onus back on the worker to put up with whatever the job demands and frames the worker as the one failing.

I used to think that was true. But these days, I think a huge portion of companies are placing advertising or user tracking software on their websites produced by advertisers or user tracking vendors who DO capture and sell the data.

I searched the article for "genius" and couldn't find it - are we looking at the same piece?

"Incomparable" is used in the headline but that was used of her by some of her contemporaries.

Seems like you're knocking down a straw man here. For me article simply says that Lady R played an influential role within the constraints that Society imposed on her and maybe deserves to be remembered for that?

Not really. You didn't mention Redux and you explicitly mentioned React, hence my clarification.

I rather expect that the M1 iPad is the next step of elevating iOS to an all-purpose platform, and the path is to ultimately get rid of the Desktop OS and all its remaining "openness" in favor of the tightly controlled revenue-generating ecosystem-model of iOS.

The M1 iMac is already quite close to a "iPad Desktop", I'm not sure how long it will take until Apple takes the full step and ships an iMac with iOS.
My guess is that there will be an intermediary phase where the OS will only allow AppleStore apps by default but can be unlocked.
And then one day the "most-affordable iMac ever" will arrive, with iOS...
> we had to re-think the whole grounding from devices during pandemic because that was suicide to a teen.

Parents who impose "grounding" on children tend to impose sanctions that last far too long. Children have a poorly developed pre-frontal cortex so very short groundings (ten minutes, an hour for most severe things) is more effective that longer groundings.
Now I'm certain I've seen a training video about this.
I used the term "ML researcher". I'm also talking from experience and generally agree that less is better for engineering jobs.

For research jobs it is very very common to list tons of things (papers, committee positions, awards, etc.,) and when your first filter is an HR person you ARE often going to be screened by volume (stupid as that may sound).

Sure, there are exceptions, if your resume starts with "PhD from Standford, advised by Prof. Hinton" you are probably going to be OK. Otherwise, you just want to play the game that is being played in the field, which, unfortunately, does often include the volume of work a proxy for success.
> the amount of work required to keep it working on newer versions of iOS costs more than ...

My educated guess would that this is simply not true. It's a convenient excuse, but a bullshit one. Either covering up engineering incompetence or the good old desire to sell the same thing more than once. And that's even if Prompt weren't a relatively expensive app with a large user base.

In any case, this is not my problem as their client. My fairly basic assumption is that what they sell will last a reasonable amount of time and it's entirely their headache to work out the details behind that.

They probably wouldn't be allowed to disable the basic functionality of the TV, at least not without marketing it as "online only TV", which wouldn't look good (your internet may fail, or you may want it in a place without internet). LG will disable your "smart features" if you refuse the EULA. But that's actually the optimistic and desired outcome.

The undesirable outcome is that they just hardcode some IPs or DNS in which case PiHole would be of no use. At best you could create a NAT port forward to redirect DNS requests to the PiHole, assuming it's not DoH.

And the worst case scenario is if they build in 5G connection and take the whole connectivity aspect out of your control.

Let's strengthen the claim then. The article in question argued clearly and cogently that there is a lot of evidence that COVID was developed in a lab and then leaked, and specifically, far more evidence for that belief than evidence that the virus arose naturally. The article also provides evidence that virologists drastically over-stated their confidence in leaks being unlikely without having any reason to believe this is so, for career related reasons.

Does that help? You're doing the same thing here that a lot of failed debunkers do:

1. Citing establishment authority as if it's the last word. By definition anyone who believes in a "conspiracy theory" has reached that point by concluding the authorities aren't being truthful. That's rather inherent in the nature of what a conspiracy theory is.

2. You aren't taking it seriously. If you were, you would have done a quick bit of Googling and encountered the articles in question that go into a lot of depth on the evidence of the lab leak hypothesis, including a lot of micro-biological evidence.

3. You're making statements that are clearly false. There is evidence, quite a lot of it. Perhaps you won't agree that it's strong enough, but to claim there is no evidence is false. When a debunker makes a statement like this and people know it's false, it degrades the credibility of the whole anti-theory-position, because now people start to suspect that the people denying there's a conspiracy don't really know what they're talking about.
I got the vaccine for solely practical reasons(it's becoming a requirement for international travel). Im not a hero, I didnt do it to save anybody. It has nothing to do with denying science and more to do with the fact that we can look at the same statistic and what you consider an existential threat and what I consider an existential threat are different. I still dont think accusing someone of selfishness is the proper way to go about it.
You raise a good point. My take on this is similar to yours in that if we can wax lyrical about an aristocrat who happens to be a woman, what about the genuises not even afforded the opportunity to engage with the high minds of the time. Literature like this tends to hyperfocus without context and that makes it uncomfortable to read as a fellow learned individual.

My point is Im not going to cry a river over some aristocrat who rubbed shoulders with the greats as compared to someone who had nothing but worked their way into recognition and forgotten by history.
> this the "Indian double mutant."

I've actually seen it referenced as the "triple mutant"!
That is absurd. It is E=MC^2 where M is 0.1% of the total mass of the reactants.

100% of the mass difference is converted into energy.
I completely agree – this all depends on the company, the people, the environment, everything.

I just think that saying "just give me the money" in all cases is a) not necessarily efficient, and b) glosses over the idea that a benefit can be worth more to people than the monetary value.

It can also be worth more to the employer! The UK government don't provide tea/coffee typically because it all ends up on public record and there's a perception that the media will be outraged if the government spent £10k on tea bags, even if that might be a perfectly reasonable expense across tens of thousands of employees (made up numbers, not important). The result is that in some offices you get contractors being paid £800 a day taking a 15 minute break to go down to the shop to buy milk for their tea, or to get a coffee from a coffee shop, costing far more than it would cost to just have some available in the office.
Monitors are designed to be used closer to your eyes. Probably have more pixel density.

So I believe there would be a huge price gap between a huge 50"+ monitor and a TV that is more expensive because some extra work on software had to be made.

> Is not knowing or not understanding NOT a legitimate reason for concern?

No. Because trustworthy information is easy to find and because "I don't understand X" can be used to argue against doing literally everything, including completely ridiculous things like insisting that wifi towers be taken down due to "wifi allergies". Making a decision that harms other people because of your own personal ignorance is not free from criticism.

Google’s propensity to kill and change things every year is reason enough to not deal with their products. I certainly would not recommend it to someone who just wants it to work and get out of the way, and does not want to keep up with news about changes Google is making.

I really don’t like “commit counters” because people who don’t know will inappropriately equate green boxes with productivity.

But it is useful for general signs of activity. So I think it’s stupid to say stuff like “foo has 120 commits and bar has 119; therefore foo is more productive”

But I think it’s a good starting point to think something like “Hrm, Bar only has 21 commits in a year and the rest of the team has 120. Let’s look into that.”

Sometimes there’s a good explanation (eg, “Foo makes a huge commit every two weeks, let’s talk to them about the benefit of daily check ins and branches”) but it also helps identify real problems.

I once worked with a company that was wrapping up a project. They have contractors 30 days notice to finish their work at the end of the release and go. One contractor went from regular activity to zero commits during the last month. Since I was supposed to integrate and code review his stuff, I asked if he would check in and he just said “yeah sure.” He left with no commits during the month. Not that there’s a specific number of commits that was good and he was obviously mentally checked out, but zero indicates something worth investigating.

How is this relevant to HN? Why is cop propaganda being pushed here?
Unfortunately we don’t have a better way of determining need other than the amount of work, wealth or property someone is willing to exchange for something. Open to good suggestions though.
An argument that something could happen is not evidence that it did. It's not even "circumstantial" evidence that it did. The world is filled with potential catastrophes that could happen.

Circumstantial evidence would be if you had a source from inside the lab -- a memo, maybe, or a leak from an intelligence agency that interviewed a whistleblower -- that told you they believed covid was a lab leak. Or maybe that they were working on something with features that match covid better than that bat virus does, etc...

Absent that, sorry, you're engaged in a "conspiracy theory" in the vernacular. Hiding behind the dictionary definition of "conspiracy" isn't really helping your case.

I haven't been in Sweden for a while, but in Finland there's large headlines about a major shortage of tech workers, but based on what I've seen it's basically tech workers changing careers because they are:

1) fed up with useless benefits
2) get no possibilities for developing their skills while on the job
3) are expected to work unpaid overtime for wages that won't pay the rent in the larger cities

I've no idea how it will end to be honest, but I suspect there'll be a lot of buzz about it once post-COVID hiring starts.

Well, they might cost more, but TV/monitor prices have dropped so much over the past couple of decades that it can't be that much of a deciding factor.
I thought not much about this corporate wellbeing stuff until Corona. Then decisions my employer made started directly affecting my chances for survival. My employer was surprisingly proactive and protective very unlike the one of my wife.

This wellness spam is virtue signaling. Whether it is truly based on values becomes only visible when the boundaries are tested.
Beautiful. An age-old techno-anarchist pipe dream, mesh networking, co-opted by the biggest of corporations. Note the language used. Users are "neighbors". The network becomes "stronger". You "support community extended coverage benefits".

I'm sure it's not your intention, but this phrase might be mistaken for an offensive, negative critique of the OP's abilities, which may make the OP hesitate to respond, or respond defensively.

Daniel Kahneman: Why We Contradict Ourselves and Confound Each Other
Not true. There are implied warranties of merchantability and fitness.

It’s one of the reasons why Amazon takes such pains to make the questionable assertion that they are at arms length for every transaction. Fraudulent or grey market stuff often fails the fitness test.

The same crap used to happen with fake cameras and electronics in Manhattan. The stores would “go out of business” and reopen the next day under a new guise to avoid legal consequences. Now you just create a new merchant on Amazon.
There is a huge market for 'dumb panels', under the moniker of 'digital signage'. Nearly every major TV vendor has 'dumb' displays SKUs on offer in many different configs. The only problem is that they aren't always easy to get one's hand on, as they usually are sold through b2b channels instead of consumer-facing retail outlets.
That's why we ask for sources. If one doesn't trust
lamontcg to know what they're talking about, we shouldn't trust them to be honest about that fact. We're often more likely to have Bayesian priors about a primary source than the people who refer to them.
Not on Amazon. They do make actual no-sale agreements with manufacturers (looking at you, Warner Media) to not sell used product and boot anyone who tries. Which, ah, is great right until they're a near monopoly.

But this looks more like the reseller is trying to wreak havoc with lawful competition sans an agreement with Amazon. They may not look kindly on it if they see what's happening. Competition where it's not being intentionally stifled is the business model.
That's an excellent point - thank you. Completely left it out of my sight.

Do share same sentiment wholeheartedly.

I tried that on my LG tv. The result was a 60 second timeout before I could use the tv when turning it on.
I ended up figuring out how to factory reset it and then never set up the wifi. No firmware update, but I don’t care since I only want a dumb monitor.
Right. I somehow doubt Subaru is ahead of the game compared to Tesla on that.

I took a look at how Subaru Eyesight works. It uses a dual camera system to identify a vehicle ahead and apply braking if it slows down, pedestrians and other specific patterns. Some of it is limited to a 19mph closing difference (surprise).

So the statement above that “mine emergency brakes with objects ahead at any speed” is, unsurprisingly, incorrect.

It doesn’t react to any object and would probably happily hit a tree under the right conditions, or a parked car. Happy to be proven wrong with a demonstration video of the car at full speed.

The AstraZeneca and Sinopharm vaccines have similar efficacy:
they're about 80% effective at preventing symptoms. They're even more effective at preventing serious illness and death.

The Seychelles is still 40% unvaccinated. Even people who are vaccinated have some chance of getting infected, though if they get infected, their chance of showing symptoms is lower, and their chance of ending up in the hospital is much lower. It looks like the people testing positive in the Seychelles are mostly unvaccinated, and that the people ending up in the hospital are even more likely to be unvaccinated. But there's not enough information in the BBC article to judge just how effective the vaccines have been in the Seychelles.

The BBC article does contain one falsehood:

> In April, China's top disease control official said the efficacy of the country's Covid vaccines was low, although he later insisted his comments had been misinterpreted.

George Gao did not say this. He gave a talk at a conference on vaccines which was blatantly misconstrued by a "researcher" at an American think tank, the Council on Foreign Relations. That misrepresentation then got spread by the media. All George Gao actually said was that researchers should consider ways of increasing the efficacy of vaccines that have lower efficacy. He didn't name any specific vaccine or any specific country. He proposed the same sorts of measures that are being considered for other vaccines, such as the AstraZeneca shot: delaying the second dose, mixing vaccine doses, etc. This got twisted into an "admission" that Chinese vaccines have low efficacy. It's too bad to see that the BBC is still repeating this false claim, weeks later.
If variants or strains existed that could avoid the immune system surely it would be evading the immunity of the people in Texas, Florida or the over 50% of other states that have had no Covid restrictions for months... infection rates would be skyrocketing instead of lingering at record lows.

Stop fear mongering.
It seems that we interpret language in radically different ways. This last comment of yours brings that home, as I find your analysis of the poster’s statements wildly off the mark. If you had simply disagreed with my interpretation initially when I said “Since this must be clear to you”, I could have retracted my characterization and we’d have been done. As it is, I must acknowledge that what seemed obvious to me might not be obvious to you, and, therefore, it is possible you were not being intentionally disingenuous. I’m sorry if my inferences wounded you; I should have taken more care in considering alternative possible, even if unlikely, readings.

All the more reason to end the war on drugs. It would be easier to celebrate great cops if they did not go around enforcing bullshit laws about what people are allowed to put in their own bodies. In general, it would be easier to celebrate great cops if interacting with them was not the entry point to the US' horrific criminal justice system. The more we do to improve the criminal justice system, the less hated cops will probably be.
