I think there has been a difficulty for some to delineate between agreeable and humble.

Being humble does not mean you are passive and agreeable. It means that you can recognise you own fallibility and stand up to admit your mistakes and accept alternatives.
Depends on the significance of the mutation. The vaccines have shown to be pretty good at protecting at the mutations we have observed so far. However, it is right to assume, that eventually a mutation comes around which evades any existing immunity. That is one the biggest reasons to reduce infection count globally. The higher the infection count, the larger the risk of a mutation that resets everything back to the beginning immunity-wise.
Because it's not written in Java, it is written using Eclipse platform.
That sounds a bit off. Presumably something is worth more to you than what you pay for it -- otherwise you wouldn't buy it. If someone drives up the price of something by making it artificially scarce, its value to you hasn't gone up; the only thing that has gone up is the purchase price, which has been brought closer to the subjective value you place on it, reducing your gain from the trade.

(Also it's not obvious to me what this has to do with libertarianism, at least of the sort discussed in this book.)
It wasn't really paid. They claimed it was but everyone I know always got the charge waived, which makes sense when you learn it was only ever meant to be a scaling break (see my other comment).
Jack Balkin at Yale has some relevant thoughts on the topic. The video is worth watching for the historical analysis alone.

>I, for example, don’t ever have to worry about my safety because the “freedom” of others have been curtailed on several points, and I deeply appreciate that.

Isn't is possible for someone to stab you? So in theory you could have some small degree of worry about your safety. Different people have different places they draw the line for an acceptable amount of worry vs an acceptable amount of freedom restrictions.

Yes, there are costs involved in data collection. If the data is valuable, organizations will foot those costs. We've seen this in the tech sphere. Why is it hard to imagine it in the health/biosecurity realm?

It's another tax on the poor, same as advertising. No service targeting sophisticated, wealthy people would use this. But if you have someone desperate for liquidity, of course they'll hand you the keys to their kingdom.
I agree with your points completely. Some tools are just better designed. I was talking about the premature opinions I had on these tools before I had even used them, or seen them in action. This is a problem as it limits my teamworking capabilities. For example, I decided to do the first year programming project all by myself as I thought nobody else could do it.

Edit: added an example

Except the second one is only useful if you actually do have another offer, so the two are not equivalent.

What you should actually do is politely request that you be allowed to work remotely, as you "realized that you are not looking forward to spending a significant chunk of your day commuting, and have realized that remote work is much better for your mental health". This is still a polite request, but fairly clear that you'll probably start looking for another job if they deny.
Seems a bit counter-intuitive to brand Plaid's behavior as unethical and then argue that users should have agency to share their own passwords.

At a meta-level, using unethical as a qualifier seems like an attempt to bolster an argument without having to provide a logical argument. I think most discussions are cleaner without broaching the thorny topic of ethics. Such discussions usually devolve into ideological battles, which by HN guidelines, "trample curiosity".

… and even then MAP isn’t enforceable, seeing as how it is basically price fixing, which is illegal.

MAP agreements typically don’t say anything about the selling price, they more typically govern marketing funds provided by the manufacturer. So, for example, Logitech might give my computer store $1,000 to feature their new mouse in my weekly newspaper circular, but only as long as I stick to MAP guidelines. If I don’t, they’ll rescind the advertising credit.
It's very far from a technicality, the meaning is totally different. Nobody would claim a TV station is selling it's viewer's data and yet they are willing to make this deceptive claim about tech companies, even though the "argument" is exactly the same.

It’s the engineering team that creates the actual value for the company. Of course they should have an easy path to clear technical debt.

Database level integration is tempting at first since it’s zero effort up front, but it usually ends badly. It’s well worth it to make the BI team go through an API, even spend the effort on a well-designed one to give them a nice experience doing so.
Saying the same thing from yet another perspective:

What you call in-band - I call data.
What you call out-of-band - I call code.

What I call metaprogramming is erasing the distinction.

I think this is kind of a jumble. For example, these are all hallmarks of very good programmers:

> They will never try to reinvent the wheel, they will google up the best practices, write in small understandable chunks, thoroughly follow naming conventions in order to not confuse themselves in the future, document everything in comments etc.

Next one is more of an IQ issue than good/bad. If my situation isn't time sensitive, and the slow guy is careful, and I can get him at a much lower rate...

> Their bad part is mostly the speed. Lacking experience, they have to consult with stackoverflow, refactor every now and then and eventually burn out.

This part is loaded with combinatorics. How well does the manager understand his market? His product? Is it a feature, or a misfeature? I think we all have stories of managers signing off on time-bombs, and missing the mark on where the market's at. Having the good programmer take a few hours implement a feature sounds great, until the better programmer comes along, and takes five minutes (and no code) to prove that the feature was a mistake. The only true measure of performance, is performance.

> While the good and fast coder will deliver the working code in hours and days to the manager's satisfaction

I think following part is a credit rather than a demerit. Read up on second system syndrome, or anything Chuck Moore has to say about programming. Solve the real problems, not the hypothetical ones (which may never materialize).

> though not as universal and forward looking (in terms of configuration and integration hooks).

Here is where I would use the word bad rather than mediocre. When they resort to empiricism out of an aversion or inability to think things through, it will never be right -- even if it passes all of the tests.

> And the coder that I classify as mediocre knows and employs all the programming patterns which makes their quickly written code standard and understandable, but not always working as expected until several testing iterations pass.

I'm not a big fan of meta and abstractions. A lot of good signal gets thrown away. I like demos.
While I'm not an anarchist, I find that David D Friedman has some remarkably compelling ideas. I encourage anyone to read a book of his or listen to a lecture on YouTube.
Larry Wall, father of patch, Perl, and Raku has declared hubris to be one of the key virtues of a programmer, along with impatience and laziness.[0]. But he’s an astoundingly humble man, so what gives? The hubris that he talks about is really about the ability to always say “I can do better,” and then to actually follow through. The pride to let your good works speak for itself looks an awful lot like humility in the end.

That was not the only reason. The other reason was that duel was socially required in some situations. If you refused, you was really looked down at and would became sort of outcast. Everyone of relevant cast understood that.

Also, they did not ended up with death all that often. There was whole process how to got there, negotiate compromise via seconds and often participants were not so eager to kill each other. The big point is to show willingness to be shoot at or something of that sort.

C-span had pretty good lecture about duels in south.

That's fair. It's the attitude I've seen the most of in the people I work with/around, and it's rubbed off on me a bit. There are definitely people who believe this is a disservice to the users, and I don't necessarily disagree with them.

Personally, I agree most with tptacek in another comment, that this is on a continuum, and depends on the vulnerability, situation, and who's involved. If there's a good faith effort to develop + push a patch to a very wide install base of hardware which realistically is being ignored by the sysadmins (no change of being replaced, and impacting people using them in e.g. public places), I think it can be ok to embargo details.
I strongly believe in exactly that: not having a permanent resident address (even if you don't actually live there, it's OK to live elsewhere if you can afford), being a felony.

In Belarus, it works this way: if someone is caught in the street in a distressed state or suspected to be a homeless, he's brought into a sorting station (приемник-распределитель), where he is checked.

If he can produce papers showing where he lives, get in contact with relatives and it appears obvious that it was an accident (someone partied too much and got "lost"), he's released, although his employer is notified.

If not, they check if he's an alcoholic or a drug-addict, he's placed into a prison-style rehab. Escape from it is difficult and it is punishable with an actual prison. After rehab, they are given a dorm bed and a job, and a social worker tracks to make sure they stick with it.

If he's mentally disturbed, a commission examines him and puts him into a prison-like mental institution, with similar consequences.

If he already been in any of the above and it didn't help, they try again, but after ~3 tries, he goes to prison.

It works. There are no bums in Belarus. Streets are safe.

And yes, technically there is no way to legally become homeless in Belarus. You parents can't check you out when you grow up unless you buy a place of your own and can transfer your permanent registration there - there is no way to not have a permanent registration, citizen registration office just won't accept an application to "check out my 25 year old son coz it's time for him to live on his own" if he doesn't have that new place to check in to. There are some cracks in that system so a very very small fraction of people (<1%) end up without registration, but it is technically illegal (although no one will bother before they find you in the street drunk), and must be in theory impossible.
And yes, registration is separate from ownership. You can sell your apartment with people still registered there and they retain that registration and a right to live there (ofc when you file papers to buy an apartment, there's a way to check if there are any people still registered, so no one in their sane mind would buy a place with anyone still registered).

So here's a fix: make it legally impossible to not have a place of your own, and make it illegal not to.

This is getting stupid, if it wasn't already.

Requiring vaccination is "curtailing liberties".

Restricting movement due not being vaccinated is "curtailing liberties".

No shit. One can either be part of society or not. Society has minimum requirements if one wants to participate. One is free—exercise their liberty—to live as a hermit if they don't want to do either of these things. That's the price of admission of getting the benefits, whatever they may be, of interacting with other people. Added bonus, the rest of us don't need to hear about hermits complaining about their liberties then too.

Building sewage management infrastructure is not curtailing liberties. There is very little noise made about having to give up liberties because of the majority of other public works. Civilization decided that shitting on the sidewalk is not something that should be encouraged or condoned, so here we are with our sewage management infrastructure. We gain the freedom of not having to dig a hole and maintain an outhouse.

No one is giving up any "liberties" by getting vaccinated, but it's more likely they are acquiring liberties by getting vaccinated. At the very least it's the liberty of reducing the risk of dying.

This is all a "I don't want to do what you said I should do purely because you said it". Fine. The rest of us are at liberty to exclude or chastise these people.
This post fits the definition of hubris under the three virtues[1].

Most of the OP list of things they don't like are about client UI presentation. Inherently unrelated to the protocol itself.

I don't have any of those issues because I use a client that does the interaction and presentation exactly how I like it.
EU should completely ban Facebook and WhatsApp entirely. EU should say fuck that rotten person called Zuckerberg. From tomorrow all ISPs will block all Facebook products.
I have remarked before that Zuckerberg wants to be the Murdoch of the 21st century. To wield his media influence as a "kingmaker" (mostly quietly and behind the scenes, but with those seeking to gain or hold power knowing they will need Facebook's co-operation). And ensuring as compensation an unchallenged position for Facebook, and minimal taxation and other interference.
Look up PSD2. Exactly that is required in EU
Absolutely, it was wrong for me to try and speak for everyone. In my own professional circle, this is what's accepted, but there are many who think otherwise, so my apologies.
I just posted this too! It's the same idea but one is presented as humility and one as hubris.
It should be implemented though that looking up one's location also notifies the person being looked up. That way there is a social barrier to looking up the location indiscriminately.
Or maybe it was never a step forward but just a step to the side from savvy companies?

But then grandma is using WhatsApp, which is what we're trying to avoid. The point is not that it's possible to make her use WhatsApp. The point is that it's possible to make her use a better alternative.
Do you think a worker co-op either/both avoids hiring a-holes in the first place and/or avoids bringing out a-hole tendencies in otherwise normal folks?

Being ~8 layers deep in the corporate hierarchy at my current place is very frustrating, and I think it probably affects my current a-hole level just due to apathy...
Except we have plenty of evidence of Scams, and plenty of evidence of Apple blocking the perfectly valid apps. And more that App Store isn't only about protecting people but also act as competitive advantage. All of the above were exposed in the current EPIC vs Apple Trial ( Although those evidence are not of particular used in the EPIC trial itself )

You might think all of that are ok in US, these practices dont sit well in Euro Centric Minds.

> But again, I'm talking out my butt on this. My point was not that medical necessity is a convincing case

I'm not a lawyer, or a manager, but I'm not quite convinced. I think OP should have that conversation with their doctor first. Claiming to need WFH to be safe is sounds related to some anti-Covid vaccination arguments. If the company cares about safety they are probably going to take reopening safely seriously, if they don't take Covid seriously they won't like accepting the initial request.

Though the eeoc does say having any WFH program makes it more likely it could be a reasonable accommodation. And I think my employer is already thinking about accommodations when reopening. Getting WFH might be a good possibility if their doctor agrees it's needed. https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/work-hometelework-reasona...
Amazon is a marketplace. There is no price vetting. If a third party wants to sell beans on Amazon for more money than they cost elsewhere, that’s not Amazon’s problem. They do not set prices for third-party sellers.

In fact, most of those beans are probably being drop-shipped from Wal Mart.

For items that Amazon is selling first-party, you can bet that they know exactly what all of the other major retailers are selling for, and they’ll be within pennies of their price, if not beating it.

The difference IMO is that Plaid is often used for e.g. tenant applications, where the person requiring the use of Plaid and the person forced to disclose credentials are not the same. That's bad.

If I choose to give my credentials to e.g. Mint to aggregate information for my own benefit, that's good because it was entirely my choice.
I went to Hawaii recently. We got first class tickets for around $600. A single test for $150 was required to go to Hawaii, but no test was required after that. And we didn't need to test before returning back to California.

The most expensive part actualy is car rentals. Car rentals in Maui are insanely expensive, if you can even get a rental. One of my friends was quoted $900/day. In other islands like Big Island and Oahu, they are cheaper ($50-80/day) if you can find a deal.
It's a shame your comment has been found to be polarising, I think your phrasing is quite moderate.

Looking at social media it feels like too many people are celebrating because they've been given another opportunity to show how virtuous they are. They're not one of those people that oppose vaccines and progress, oh no. The clout associated with putting up pictures of you with a needle in your arm is probably the most off-putting thing I'd gotten to gawk at.

My assessment is similar to yours. The situation just kinda is. We've had a novel viral agent, what followed is what you'd expect of a society that optimised for lack of novel viral agents. Now the viral agent is mostly gone and we have two new taxes to show for it: further encumberement of civil liberties and more revenue for the pharmaceutical industry.

It's not a bad result but there's no big win to point at either

You can be humble only when you're competent and you know it. Then you can make a choice. If you barely have the skill to somehow put stuff together so it kinda works then there's no place for such subtleties. So I'd rather have a skilled but showing off programmer than a humble untalented one

It is balance act in social aspect. Humility makes other people feel good about you on emotional level. But, if you dont display confidence and pride too, you will be effectively punished.

People like humble people, but don't think they are as good as people who act confident or even arrogant.
