It's bizarre that people make up this kind of hateful delusional convoluted conspiracy theory that allow the to hate "the all powerful white supremacist rednecks", rather than open their eyes to the obvious reality that it is a matter of special interests, political lobbying/corruption and strategic interests, just like everything else. I guess it's evidence of the wildly successful divide and conquer campaign that has been inflicted upon people.

I can assure you the people receiving wealth and power to make the decisions that lead to this kind of policy, nor the people paying them care in the slightest about "the rapture" or what your imagined church going enemies in "bumfuck nowhere" care about.

This ticks me in the right place. Where I work we're already using Gsuite like the rest of the world, and then for some reasons the director board decided to move _everything_ company communication to FB's Workplace. And when pandemic hits, everybody have to actively watch for announcements/notices on Workplace, because it's the only place that they send out messages. So why not just send notices to all@company.com email address and everybody got it instantly if the message is too important? They post it on Workplace and mark it Important, then FB sends a brief emails to everybody teasing half of the post. Again, why not just use email?
Just do it, start working from home.

>I suspect MDMA is quite psychologically addictive

MDMA consistently ranks particularly low when compared to alcohol, meth, cocaine, smoking.
Not necessarily. They will likely try to key on something very specific, as this reduces the risk of it triggering on you (creating an autoimmune disorder). So natural infection may be less effective. We assume that mutations to the virus that hide it from the natural defenses against a random part, but have no impact on the virility, are generally more frequent and numerous than mutations to the important spike protein.

IMHO, the problem here is they could have done this before. Forcing them to do so has wider implications for smaller companies, so maybe the real solution could have been some way to specify which kind of companies should have a minimum wage. I think Chipotle is in a position to do this while many other companies wil ljust have to eliminate positions.

That's not really true - china uses the USD they own to peg the RMB to enhance their export.

That seems like a lot; with FastMail I get basically 0. The last time this happened was years ago.

I do get the very occasional spam, maybe 5 messages/month or so. Most of them are from marketing agencies that want to "collaborate" on my website or some such and have a spam score of 0 or close to it, and arguably isn't "spam" in the same way as "grow a bigger dick!"-spam is. I doubt gmail would catch those too.

> Taking one long exposure I imagine would better pick up on faint sources of light compared to multiple short exposures.

You definitely need an exposure long enough for the light sources to actually show up on the image. But beyond that point, sometimes you can do better by taking lots of separate exposures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_imaging Really depends on what the limiting factor is in your imaging system. For cheap consumer cameras, sensor sensitivity is more of an issue than atmospheric fluctuations, so longer exposures are usually better.

I never take counteroffers and make it clear at every job that I don't take them because in my view if they could have paid me more but didn't, they were stealing from me. If I presented a case for a raise and didn't get it, they were also lying to me about the inability to give me one. Why hang around at a company like that? If I'm valuable to the company, it's foolish try to save a few dollars because it'll just end with them spending far more recruiting a replacement.

I have no way of knowing if this has resulted in better salary increases over the years than if I had played it differently but it certainly feels better than working for people who I feel are cheating and lying to me.

> Mars is considered to be the hardest planet to land on in the entire solar system

Questionable.

> but it's so thin you still have to land propulsively using rockets

You have to do the same on earth. Starship sized vehicles have to land on earth propulsively too.

Sure, you can do somewhat larger payloads to Orbit without engines but for large things you need to have real engines.

> You definitely need to sacrifice less spacecraft mass to land on the moon

On the moon you can't aerobrake, that is far worse.

> Also there is some water on the moon so you can make rocket fuel, though how much exactly remains an open question

There is a huge difference. Water on the moon has to be mined from permanently shadowed craters. The water is frozen and incredibly hard, its more like mining stone on earth.

On Mars there are places where you can literally land, drill down and make yourself an underground lake pretty easily. Or land basically right on an ice sheet.

On the moon you need to figure out how to get energy down into the crater, you need sophisticated mining equipment, all that equipment needs to handle incredibly low temperatures.

Mars comparatively is not so far away from earth in terms of temperature for your equipment.

In summation, in-situ for rocket fuel/water is far, far easier on Mars.
It's also consistent with other vaccines - for example, HPV vaccination confers better immune protection than a natural infection. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4813740/ vs. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29029053/
Seems to be on-par with antibody persistence (6 months) offered after second dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine[1].

US CDC seems to suggest vaccine to those who had COVID immediately after recovery[2]. Where as news sources claim WHO suggests 6 months after recovery[3].

I recently started arduino programming as well. What is weird is it’s basically the opposite of most software best practices.

You need to use global variables, not use heap allocations, avoid stl library classes, avoid strings, etc. The constraints due to the minimal resources mean you need to throw out elegant and robust programming in order to perform well. So the code ends up looking super hacky.
Eh I feel like may be worth cutting some slack here..

For anyone else out there thinking of traveling, the flights are cheap until you start having to do all the associated covid testing to even enter other countries. After that, it’s actually a very expensive time to fly. (Especially if the location only allows certain test facilities - $400+ per test adds up) Tests to get on the plane, tests after you land, tests some days after you land, tests before you leave... The flights are “cheaper” but the total cost definitely isn’t.
What evidence do you have to support your claim? The public opinion section of the linked article seems to suggest that among evangelical christians it's an important issue.

>A 2017 LifeWay poll conducted in United States found that 80% of evangelical Christians believed that the creation of Israel in 1948 was a fulfillment of biblical prophecy that would bring about Christ's return and more than 50% of Evangelical Christians believed that they support Israel because it is important for fulfilling the prophecy.[100]

>According to the Pew Research survey in 2003, more than 60% of the Evangelical Christians and about 50% of Blacks agreed that the existence of Israel fulfilled biblical prophecy. About 55% of poll respondents said that the Bible was the biggest influence for supporting Israel which is 11 times the people who said church was the biggest influence.[100]

Re: protectionism and South Korea I think Ha-Joon Chang covered the development of their steel industry (a later big force behind their "free trade" auto industry) for an example of extreme protectionism in the book I linked. Samsung is practically corporate-state.

Once capabilities are developed and become a comparative advantage for a state, they encourage free trade in them and attack others' subsidies as being protectionist by benefiting the upstart state's local industry instead of pursuing comparative advantage in menial labor, natural resources, etc. (Chang's book Kicking Away the Ladder is about this I think).

but they are getting infected with Covid (which isn't so great).

The US approved vaccines (so far) appear to be pretty good at preventing infection compared to lots of vaccines.

There's an obvious level of (incomplete) protection present in the population at 50% vaccination. Cases aren't falling because we are getting more careful (but then the nicer weather could be helping).
Sorry I am not sure I am following, how does this impact housing market?
If mutations are random events, how does a virus know it is under more pressure because randomizing events occur less often?
Vaccine-related immunity is related to several factors. Among them:

1) The rate of "vaccine escape" of the pathogen - that is, how well new variants of the pathogen can escape recognition by a vaccine. This varies from pathogen to pathogen.

2) The strength of the immune response to the vaccine. For example, live-attenuated vaccines are basically natural infections.

3) Whether or not your immune memory is occasionally boosted by coming into contact with someone who is shedding the pathogen.

All of these vary based on the pathogen and vaccine pairing. And critically, for COVID-19, we don't know several of these parameters.

What has been shown is that if you introduce the SARS-CoV-1 peptide ex vivo into cells drawn from the blood of survivors that there's a IFN-gamma response from T-cells.

That shows that there's clearly some memory in the immune system, but it isn't like they did challenge testing with live SARS-CoV-1 virus to survivors to see if they got sick or not.

And we now know that the presence of a T-cell immune reaction is not sufficient to prevent you from getting sick or hospitalized. The cross-reactive T-cell responses between previously circulating human coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2 was found to simply not be protective at all against disease:

https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2021/02/10/do...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S009286742...

So the paper on T-cell responses in SARS-CoV-1 patients 17 years later is not remotely as meaningful as some people suggest. It doesn't prove anything about disease or reinfection.

At the same time the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 actually is likely to be durable for many years as has been seen with HCoV-229E:

https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/j...

What the researchers there found is solid evidence that our immunity to HCoVs doesn't wane but that the virus mutates in order to reinfect. That contradicts some other studies which seem to show reinfection of ordinary coronaviruses on short timescales, but the methdology of that study seems to be more sound. That's the one that I'd cite as evidence of durable multi-year disease-preventing immunity. Although the catch is that given this viruses ability to mutate in multiple locations around the spike protein while actually increasing affinity it seems very likely that it'll eventually mutate to achieve immune escape. It is looking like it'd be pretty surprising for this to be a one-and-done like measles.
Yes and people have lost track of the value of money.

You can buy valuable things like good health care, living wages, balanced lives, and self respect for employees, fair deals and support for improved lives for customers, a healthier market environment for the planet and future generations. You can buy being the person to make the better world you imagine and make it sustainable to perpetuate that.

These are all for sale and good business practices to boot.
In particular autistic burnout usually results in poorer emotional control (anger and depression swings), increased sensitivity to sensory input, and skills loss (becoming unable to do things that they once did naturally).

Agree with your point, and email does succeed here just because it's ubiquitous. You don't need to check do you what whatsapp? Telegram? Oh I don't use this or that because of privacy, etc.

Email give you a FREEDOM to use anything you want with it because it was developed at times when data farming wasn't the main goal for big tech.

That's why in most cases we just ask for email address.
>Some can manage it, but for some it gets to be too much.. simple things, such simple things... most can do it, their whole lives, they just do it, why can't we?

Because there's more to life than personal happiness. Struggle is the definition of life. It's what gives anything meaning. People have families that they support, and being that thankless workhorse for them ends up being a deeper satisfaction than personal moment to moment happiness. We could all go sit in cabins in the woods and whittle away on sticks until we die and probably be "happier". But if a tree falls in the forest with no one around, does it make a sound? That is to say, does a person in isolation enjoying their own happiness have any meaning whatsoever?

In the countries I’ve been, people use all sorts of apps and each person is very shocked when you don’t have “the app” that everyone is using. And of course the fashions change over time, so app X is popular for a few years, then it’s app Y. It’s impossible to keep up with all these trends.

I’ve found myself in this position lately. I’ve been tempted to just throw the towel in because I can afford to take time off. Is my personal health more important than living out of savings until I’m happy again? Is there another career outside of this id be good at?

I’ve taken time off before after hitting my four year vest window and dealing with an office bully. I said forget it and just quit one day. Took a month off before reality set in that I can’t stop learning skills in my career or otherwise I’d be antiquated fairly quickly if I ever came back.
I worked on COVID epidemiology last year for a couple governments, so I am more familiar with the literature than most people. I don’t expect people to be as familiar as I am.

However, the bane of my existence the last year have been people with strong opinions on “the science” on both sides that use “citation please” as a passive aggressive dismissal from a position of ignorance, and will promptly ignore any citations offered. The Internet is rife with it, and I generally avoid these kinds of discussions.

That may not have been the OP’s intent but I was admittedly playing the overwhelming odds. People that genuinely want to know these things can easily find and access most of the primary sources (some government research is non-public). That’s the best source for all information on COVID, the media has done a terrible job representing it. I didn’t have the above citation ready, I googled it and it came up right near the top.
