I would say thats qiite a eurocentric view. Many Asians would have been plunged into poverty. Entire industries essentially disappeared with the coming of the British (muslin, wootz steel) and new industries would be formed (opium, indigo). They would also have faced a a vastly different set of rules.
I'm not sure if it's a option, but contract roles are probably more common than FTE here in Aus. I've been contracting for the last 6 years and most of the work I've had has either been through my network, or through recruiters. There are tech recruitments agencies here and nearly all of them have someone that specialises in contracts.

In my experience, if you have the right people in your network that you know will be looking for contractors at some point, they'll come to you first before putting the job out on job sites.

Are you thinking of being a contractor (as in you work for one company like an employee for 3-6 months), or a freelancer that comes in to complete certain tasks?
> Yes, probably including you.

Yes, I actually illustrate that in a sibling comment.

My point is that it's a practice.

And yes, your weakest link may not be food related. My suggestion is that, given that the body receives input from nothing comparable other than maybe the air you breathe, as a whole we don't pay enough attention to what we eat. In other words, Occam's razor points to food in most scenarios.

> Trust me, food is not the panacea of health that everyone espouses it to be

If "everyone" says something, doesn't that kind of make it true?

> too often prescribed as THE solution above everything else

No doctor every prescribed food as my solution. The spinach thing was more like a comment in passing. Maybe on a single page "take home" paper after surgery. I have been prescribed surgery twice, though. And both could have been prevented with food.

PS- suffer from recuring sinus infections? Quit mixing dairy and sugar (individually they're fine). And yes, that means no ice cream before bed. But if you do not want to quit, there's a survey for that!
That certainly helped, but we had infections cross the border and community transmission. We still have people entering the country through a 14 day hotel quarantine so we're still allowing infected people across the border into the country. The island nation part of it isn't the whole story.

Restricting the rate at which it can spread through the community coupled with active and aggressive contact tracing certainly seems like it played a significant role. I'd be looking cockeyed at any study that chooses not to include the Australian and NZ datasets without a very robust case about why it's necessary.
I dunno. “I didn’t say the things I thought you wouldn’t like so that we could have sex” somehow strikes me as disingenuous. Even though that’s just being considerate by a different name.

I guess it comes from the goal you are trying to achieve.
Out of curiosity, if you think it worked, why did you stop taking it? Also, how old are you (in decades) :)?

We have the unlimited PTO as well, so maybe it is that kind of company.

I admit that it might just work well for me as I don't actually need work life balance or really use the time off. What I mean is that I have never experienced any pressure to work beyond regular hours. I am not sure that the weekend/2AM logins/commits are supported. I have never heard much comment on them at all really.
Of course, if you're wealthy you really don't need more stuff by definition...
Hi, you seem to have a lot of local expertise. Your contact info isn't in your profile, any way I can get in touch? I have a few questions about living in Italy.

My take is that people aren't concerned with things that don't pose significant risk to them.

This is not true, and you will not be able to cite evidence that it is.

I hope proctorio gets sued out of business
The oversimplification makes sense when the side hustle scales without requiring more time.

If he expands his vending machine, lemonade, beach house portfolio, it quickly becomes a full time job, and he will probably need contractors/employees. The opportunity cost of his MD income versus his hustle income will be high for many many years.
I think the generally understood stance from economists is that they fear inflation(despite the well researched article we're responding to that states that we won't see hyper-inflation!) more than they fear recessions, and that no one truly knows whats going on when a yield curve inversion happens and why it creates recessions. It is well established that unemployment and inflation is linked, see the Phillips curve.

In practice, it keeps working so they keep doing it.
You are not dumb, you were just too interested in the answer... ;)
I guess you work for them as a contractor, not employee.
Not exactly a shocking development. His social awkwardness has been on public display for years.
Nobody needs to be protected from Doge. If there's a plausible argument that we need protecting from foreign terrorism (maybe not by means of security services clandestinely surveilling every citizen 24x7, but by some means at least), nobody is forced into dogecoin. Nobody has dogecoin as their only investment option - in fact, most prominent crypto exchanges don't even support it, and average retail investor doesn't even use crypto exchanges - they use Fidelity and Schwab, where there's no way to buy dogecoin at all. The idea that some naive investors somehow could be trapped into this and are in desperate need of "protection" RIGHT NOW is complete and utter bullshit. Everybody knows it's a wild gamble, some do it out of greed, some do it out of YOLO, some do it because it sounds fun thing to do, whatever floats your boat. But let's not pretend anybody needs protecting from something they chose to do and went to a great length to get done.
Cygwin is still utterly amazing fwiw. It's the only thing that keeps me sane in windows when WSL2 isn't able to do what I need it to do.
But as I describe in my other comment, the value of a dollar varies not only with time but also with location and context. There are places in America today where $200 a month from a blue collar job will keep a roof over your head. In other parts of the country, $200 is worth substantially less for the same purpose.

Say what you want about stellar kinematics, but measuring meters simply is not so fraught as this.
It’s an SI unit and directly defined through the speed of light which is a universal constant number.

While you need „second“ to define the „meter“, the former is not derived from other units but from an observation of nuclear reactions in Caesium.

I'm familiar with both Zubrin (two of his books within arms-reach as a I type this) and generally how NG/Innovation Systems does business (having worked at a legacy ATK plant).

I don't disagree that they often make money via cost-plus contracts, that SLS is mainly a jobs program, or any of that. What I disagree with is your apparent inherent assumption that it's malicious. Nobody's "milking" anything - Hanlon's razor, remember. Never assume malice when stupidity (I'd prefer "incompetence") is an adequate explanation. The project managers at ULA, at Boeing, at Lockheed, at Northrop, aren't monsters trying to squeeze more money from the taxpayer. They, quite simply, believe that this is the way you have to build a rocket and you can't possibly do it any cheaper. They do pride themselves on being able to deliver things ahead of schedule and under budget, except they can't because everybody expects projects to be behind schedule and over budget, since that's the way it's always gone. Traditional expectations have a stranglehold on the oldspace industry. I've also worked for a newspace company - there was none of that attitude.

Don't assume the astronautics primes are evil. They're just... old.
This is true but it is imperative that citizens have a reliable currency to use to do transactions. This is why I think it is imperative that we transition over to cryptocurrencies that are based on strong fundamentals that make money reliable.

The company I work for runs almost in the same way, the difference is that we have a 40h/week working hours as a "reference", which is pure BS since everyone end up working easily 45+ hours/week.
Thank you. My more recent work has focused more on mental health constructs used to track clinical progress over time. The parts I like the most are more concerned with the activation of emotion systems than behavioral tendencies or personality.

I really like the Jaak Panksepp's affective neuroscience view of emotion systems and Paul Gilbert's work on social safeness as an often overlooked emotion system.

Interestingly, emotions can be measured and viewed very similarly to personality traits (really the propensity to experience a particular emotion) and in fact positive emotionality forms a subcomponent (sometimes called an 'aspect') of extroversion and negative emotionality more or less IS neuroticism.
I noticed that too. I also think it's a weird line of reasoning considering every iphone ships with an absolutely disgusting app called "safari" that will allow easy access to the most extreme kinds of pornography and hate-content

But in 2008 the housing bubble popped and the prices came back down to 2004 levels.

Wouldn't you say then that the CPI was correct not to adjust too far to account for it?

And if you think housing right now has increased a lot and the CPI isn't taking that into account, perhaps that says something about what is to come....
Aw man, I just started a comment saying how this sounds really promising and was going to ask about it. Turns out I have actually read them. I might have to read them all again. I would recommend them as well.

I'm a big fan of the Malazan series as well. I still think of the hair jacket when I come across someone with a smelly jacket and it never fails to crack me up.

My recommendation for epic fantasy that is a bit different and unexpected: The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Some very powerful stories in there. The first book is pretty short so it is a good way to try it out. Though I think it hooks from the very start.

Well because it's hard for them to come up with question and judge responses.

But I guess this means HR shouldnt skill-test anyone. We d all agree they shouldn't test a racecar driver, a CEO, a mathematician.

But the guy saying that probably doesnt work: HR never test anyone. They handle the process. He may be confusing it with wrong job posting that people attribute to HR (like N years xp in N-5 years old tech) which are usually the product of idiotic managers, not HR who doesnt give a fig what your team needs as long as you express it to them.
Playing devil's advocate here... one cannot expect a free service without said service providing some form of income to the company providing the service. Therefore, if one were to desire a service with the expectation of absolute privacy, one should expect to pay for that service.

I don’t think you should pretend you live in a socialist society, progress is made with business and competition. Charging at home is your innovation to replace dependence on fuelling stations. The global super charger network is Teslas competitive advantage against incumbents, its just a simple business strategy and has proved to be a valuable asset. Have you considered the negative externalities of your ICE vehicle? Perhaps the children in the playground breathing in the exhaust fumes are too disconnected from you to care? Imagine if a shell or total decided to convert part of their fuel station franchise to EV Charger networks? High voltage charging could provide enough power to get you home and you can top ip there. Your frustration is probably because the only company that gets it is tesla. Owning any other EV is painful because the consortium based charging networks they created lack standards and maintenance to be relied on.

Thanks for your reply, you see competition is working.
It's also debatable that there are no costs associated with digital goods. If suddenly Netflix had a surge in subscribers and they doubled them over a short period of time, they'd have to invest in infrastructure to support the extra demand. That would cost them in hardware and human resoursces to handle the extra demand. But yeah, digital services have a better situation at meeting demand than physical goods of which, after the produced amount sells out, you have to wait for more to be manufactured, delivered, etc.

People choose to behave foolishly all the time. It's not hard to follow a rule "I am not smart enough to guess profitable investments, and I should invest only in simple things like major investment funds". If you can not figure out this rule yourself, there are literally hundreds of "for dummies" books and thousands of advisors that would tell you. If you think you can do better, it's your choice. You may be right, or you may be revealed as a fool - in any case, the consequences are yours, not somebody else's.

The dividend income is cash flow so which isn’t tied to the future value of the stock. You don’t need to worry so much about timing when you need to sell the stock to get back the best profit.

Sure it’s not the best long term and in aggregate, but if you need an income then it’s a reasonable choice.
For sure the NSW situation was different to VIC. Compared to the way many other parts of the world is interpreting the word lockdown though, the differences are insignificant in terms of their "hardness".

I don't think your characterisation of the NSW lockdown is entirely accurate, either. We were forbidden from leaving the home except for exercise in the local area within household groups, essential shopping and essential work. Schools were closed except to the children of essential workers, most offices shut down or reduced their capacity, cafes, restaurants, pubs and many other businesses were closed. It was a lockdown.
It's been my experience that for soe reason otherwise good developers who use functions liberally to modularize and DRY their code in <language X> seem to throw good software engineering priniples out the window when it comes to Shell.

You'd be amazed at how readable and un-gnarly most shell script become if you break them into functions. Control flow and loops become quite easy.

String manipulation on the other hand, if awk and jq can handle it reasonably well I'll use that, but I also forgive people for using a better scripting language. I prefer Ruby but I think using the language of the project is a better choice.
This is a very specific story, one clearly designed to sell a very specific vision of success. I could write an equally plausible one where Sam’s website got hacked because he was too busy working to keep up with Wordpress patches and it got blacklisted in every search engine. That vending machine turns into a huge time sink, because his spots keep going out of business or have too much competition - he can pay someone to scout, but that easily eats up a few months of income every time he has to move. Then his beach house gets hit with a bad storm, and insurance will cover the damage, but he’s not making money on it, and now he gets to play “construction project manager”, dealing with the GC and all of the other construction-related items.

Meanwhile, yeah, sure, Marks not building equity in businesses, but that car and that boat have bought him a good social life and correspondingly, a good professional network. Turns out the guy in the next slip is also a doctor, and thinking about getting into private practice on the side from their regular job. The hours would be long, but if they can get the practice established, they’ll be their own bosses. Mark has tons of free time working his 9-5, so he says what the hell, let’s give it a shot.

Sam couldn’t do this because he’s got too many irons in the fire. Mark might fail, but he’s got a good network now, and he’s going to be building his own relationships with his patients. Also he’s young! Worst case, sells the car, sells the boat and eats the loss - he doesn’t have obligations that are hanging around his neck.

I’m not saying my scenario is probable, but it’s equally as probable as the fantasy outlined in the article.
> Project dropped out of the sky on my plate with due date a little too close for comfort. So what do you do?

Obviously, this project wasn't important enough to be given to you with enough time to get it done. Deadlines are often artificial, and this is probably what it was. In the absence of any specifics, I'd say push back on the deadline, negotiate for what you need to deliver something acceptable within a reasonable time, and don't kill yourself for it. If you do kill yourself for this one project, that just sets an expectation for next time that you don't want to have set.
Not saying that Al-Jazeera is unbiased at all and the differing content on the Arabic and English channels does seem to be quite concerning. That being said, the guy behind Nas Daily is paid by the UAE government not only for tourism work (sponsored videos) but also as an instructor for a government run/funded media academy [1]. The UAE obviously has a bone to pick with Al-Jazeera and Qatar. Nas Daily itself has some received some criticism about their coverage of Israel, see [2]. While the accusation that he is an official part of Israeli propaganda seems a bit unfounded, there does seem to be more to the story than what meets the eye.

The problem with this is that the examples are unrealistic. If someone knows where I can buy a website making $2400 a year for $3000 please let me know.

The majority of the income in year 1 is coming from the rental property. A down payment for property will typically be between 5-20%. That puts the condo at between $125k-500k. I'd guess we're looking somewhere in the higher side if this is supposed to be on a beach where people are taking vacations. Condos have higher interest rates than houses. Rental properties have higher interest rates than your home. If we assume a $300k mortgage that makes mortgage payments around $1400-1500 a month for a 30 year mortgage with a fairly low interest rate. On top of that they have to pay HOA fees, mortgage insurance, home insurance, property taxes, and utilities. Let's be generous and say this brings us to $2000 a month total. A quick search tells me that property management for an AirBnB seems to start around 15% or more. Assuming they only pay 15% this means they need to bring in at least $3000 a month to have any chance of making the $550 profit. That might be doable but it means averaging $100 a night, every night year round. When it isn't tourist season they're going to need to have lower rates. There will be nights when no one wants to rent it regardless of the rates. This might be doable in some locations but it doesn't seem like something you can do everywhere.

was it really so pleasant? inflation was very high, medical treatments were not so great, entertainment was expensive, most jobs still did not pay much, hours were long.

That’s good advice in this rate environment — if your income stream is secure.

Doctors and Nurses actually have somewhat of a good reason, though I do think they are pushed too far (especially of late). Handoffs during shift changes mean opportunities for information to be miscommunicated or lost, which negatively affect patient outcomes.
Of course it's subjective -- this is the very point, to measure subjective experience.

This point seems to slip through these types of discussions, because people want to keep changing the focus of the research. When you change the topic from subjective experience to, say, neural properties, you're not studying the same thing anymore.

There are plenty of measures of subjective experience of happiness. We can debate the merits of these measures, but they exist. They're reproducible and you can scale them over time or across people.

If someone says they are miserable, and rates themself a 1 on a scale of 1 to 5, this has to be subjective. Are they lying? Perhaps, but then too maybe that radio signal you obtained is a microwave next door.

Units on many psychological measures could be obtained (see test equating) but there's not enough agreement on which measures to use, and in fact, use of multiple measures is encouraged because of variation in what might be an appropriate target of study (hedonic versus eudaimonic well-being for instance). Units in psychology are somewhat similar to where units of temperature were in the 18th or maybe 19th century.
