> We have a photo taken while traveling together in Belgium with 2 other Americans, what server?

EU GDPR is pretty clear that all of the cases which involve transferring data from the EU to the US fall under EU GDPR rules. It refers to the location of the data, not the citizenship or residency status of the individuals who are involved.

So, the photo that you took and uploaded within EU borders is theoretically in scope for EU GDPR - even if your French friend is not in the photo.
A tiny minority of Facebook users is millions of people. Lots of people have international family and friends. A fallback approach is infeasible for legal requirements, unless it's there for appealing the fine to a lower value.

The question is potentially very difficult, and could only be resolved by constructive engagement with the party making the rules.

Don't forget what happens when people travel.
The article does mention this, to evaluate the offer beyond the money aspect, work-life balance, enrichment, culture, etc.
> If the 20th-21st century has taught us anything, it's that consumerism is a very powerful motivator.

Or, perhaps, that there is much attention on consumers who spend significantly as they have “louder” lifestyles that are easy to show.

Poverty rates are high with 14% of the US under the poverty line [0] and I don’t think consumerism is motivating them very much.

And I think it’s risky to equate considering as a large scale motivator based on extrapolating mass consumer behavior to all.

Good luck to all the sick people out there, I love you all
Have you ever marked 400 “third-month algebra” assessments? Done “stop playing football in the classrooms” break duty? Teaching requires a lot of skill, but most of the work a teacher does isn't teaching; it's child diplomacy, tedious marking and paperwork. (I wouldn't say as much as 85%, though – and it's not unskilled, either; just largely unpaid.)
A lot of this is because there has traditionally been an imbalance between employer and employee, where if they stop exchanging labor for money the employer suffers a mild inconvenience while getting a new person hired, while the employee faces the possibility of losing access to food, shelter and medicine for them and their family.

This power imbalance means that the employee will often not complain about having wages stolen, complain about safety violations, or even be able to bargain fairly for the value of their labor. It's real hard to strike a fair business exchange with somebody who has a metaphorical gun pointed at your head.

Due to these unemployment benefits, that gun is gone for a lot of people, and they can push back harder and say that "no, the terms you are offering me for my labor is not good, I will not take this job" and the industries and businesses are losing their shit over this. Economical trouble and turmoil is for the "small people" to suffer, they shouldn't have to offer better wages to navigate a shifting economical landscape, they are entitled to cheap labor.
Not to be confused with a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine in the U.S:

> There is a distinction between osteopathic physicians trained within the United States and those trained outside of the United States. Osteopathic physicians, or DOs, currently have unlimited practice rights in roughly 74 countries, with partial practice rights in many more; DOs have full practice rights in all 50 US states. As of 2018, there were more than 145,000 osteopathic physicians and osteopathic medical students in the United States.

The author says so, but doesn't realize it:

The appropriate advice for an Asian male in Silicon Valley may not be appropriate for a black woman in Birmingham, Alabama.

An Asian male dancing around the FAANGs in SV has a much better chance of getting multiple, simultaneous, offers quickly.

The reality out there is that 99.99% of companies completely suck at recruiting when it comes to first contact, resume/application processing, turnaround time, and interview scheduling. And LinkedIn has made them lazier and suckier.

I love it when recruiters write whiny blog posts that make it to HN complaining about being ghosted by candidates when in reality their companies are treating people way shittier. But we're getting off topic here.

IMO this whole "multiple offers give you leverage!" bullshit knocks a good majority of these job negotiation blogposts off the table. It's you and one company, negotiating a salary 1:1. The BATNA is zero.

The author also makes a dangerous assumption that getting an offer means the company has closed the door on every other candidate. All it means is that you were on top, but that could change. I have no problem extending an offer to #2 and moving on. It's a few clicks of a mouse to do that and get back to my donut.
I hurt my back moving a friend, went to a chiropractor for two weeks. Im not sure if it wad a pinched nerve or what but the pain was excruciating when transitioning from standing to sitting and vice versa. On my 4th visit the pain was still there but the chiropractor put me on the table positined me on my side with my arms arcross my chest and knees bent and amazingly he pushed down and the pain dissapeared instantly.

So I might be an outlier but can attest that a chiropractor fixed my back pain, I was 100% pain free and never needed to go back.
I was replying to moosebear847, though I didn't notice you had said "vindictive", so I guess that's what they meant too, thanks!
> You're saying that like people on unemployment are only those about to enter the job market. That's not going to be the case - there's lots of people with existing experience who lost jobs.

Well of course, but that's not what we're talking about. There are a huge number of service industry jobs that were filled prior to the pandemic that are no longer filled. It appears those people are largely unemployed and apparently happy to stay that way. Such is the expected consequence of paying people not to work.
A friend of mine went to one of the best chiropractic schools. She said 30% of her instructional time was business classes. That told me a lot about the field.
In the USA there are real doctors with an osteopathic medicine degree. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/osteopathic-medicine-what-i...

> Essentially we need to distinguish between osteopathic medicine, which is mostly equivalent to standard medicine, and osteopathic manipulation, which is pure pseudoscience akin to straight chiropractic.

> The fact that any individual physician is a DO rather than an MD really tells us nothing. However, osteopathic medicine really should ditch the manipulation based on quaint notions of vitalism. They should also stop selling themselves as “holistic” or pretending that they invented preventive medicine.
Perhaps they control for age?

A lot of the lower life expectancy was sky-high infant mortality, and if you made it to 10 in 1850 (hardly preindustrial, but preindustrial stats are harder to find) you could expect to live to 60 or so. Presumably you'd compare the cancer rates of your study's skeletons with the cancer rates of today's 60 year olds.
I never once said that their decision is impeccable. in fact I mentioned it probably has draw backs. What I did say was you don't have enough information about the decision making process and thoroughness. They cared enough to talk to the AirBnB devs which highlights how thorough they attempted to be.

> I don't know shit when you have no idea who I am and what I do.

Your words not mine. Re-read all of my responses without your blind hatred for what they did. All I am asking for is to give them the benefit of the doubt that they did their research and made a good decision. Of course it's clear you find that incomprehensible.
The original JDK didn't have the kind of things you're probably thinking of when you talk about an engineering marvel, like the JIT and advanced GCs.
Mexicans in Juarez also have a pretty bad life compared to Americans in San Diego. If Mexican in Juarez fire 2,000 rockets at San Diego killing and wounding dozens of Americans, the US should just let it slide because those Mexicans are poor and unhappy?
This is where I'm at. As much as I like the idea of using Linux on the desktop, Im never fully content once I try it. Even after I've put in all the effort to customize everything to my liking, I'm then faced with the fear that I'm one update away from that setup breaking.

At least I know for the most part that my boring macOS setup is going to keep working. (Unless I need a 32 bit app of course!)
I once did some work for a junkyard, and their business is a lot more complicated than what I would imagine a recycler has to do. They have to identify, catalog, evaluate the quality of parts. They have to identify cross-reference fitment information. With thousands of different vehicles with thousands of parts each, they’re looking at millions of SKUs. Then they have to inventory, warehouse, market, and manage the sales process for all of those. Even the highly automated tech-savvy junk yard I did work for threw out most of the parts that weren’t high value or high demand, simply because all of the above processes wouldn’t be worth it for a thousands of different $2 parts that don’t have names and are low demand.

Appliances aren’t quite as complicated, but I could still see how it would be a big change from the perspective of how they do business.
Is there a better one? Bonus points for a scientific publication and not a tabloid article.
> However, when you get to millions or billions, maybe you have to optimize and create a backend. What should this backend be written in? Previously the answer might have been C++. But now it's Rust.

Neither Facebook, nor Instagram or Slack are primarily built on C++ or Rust though. And many other products that I can't as confidently remember from the top of my head aren't.
If you are really trying to maximize, you could try to get offers from places you don’t want to work for anyway just to use in negotiations. Personally, I find interviewing tiring enough (or maybe I care too little about maximizing) that I don’t do this. After one interview I’m good to not go through another one for at least a few years.
The 2,000 rockets have been fired at Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and other cities at the heart of Israel.

Yes, it absolutely is that sophisticated and malicious. Have you seen the political environment in the UK?
Thanks! Yes, I could have done with launching a few months sooner, but I only had the idea at the start of the year :-D

It was really fun using Svelte. I've been looking for a reason to use it for real for a few years (I do mostly vanilla JS in the day job, amongst other things).

I had to do the most thinking and refactoring around how to handle application state in Svelte stores. I pinched some useful approaches for that from the Budibase repo (https://github.com/Budibase/budibase).
>Housing can’t be both affordable and a good investment. The price of a home should therefore equal its replacement cost.

I read this as "not (A and B), therefore C", where A, B, and C are logically independent propositions, and not (A and B) is unproven and highly doubtful. Your argument is missing a few steps there.
I don’t think 1.5 degrees is likely at all to happen.

We’re already at 1 degree, and because of lags in the climate system we’ve already put enough CO2 in the atmosphere to bring us to 1.25 even if we stopped all emissions right now. If we were to turn around on a dime and emissions fell just as fast as they went up, that would mean we would be at the halfway point now, in terms of co2. Then the final value would be 540 ppm; almost one doubling. So, 2.75 degrees of warming or so.

Even that feels like a pretty optimistic scenario to me though. It’s more likely that it plateaus for a while before declining. So then we might end up 670ppm. That’s 1.25 doublings. That’s about 3.75 degrees.

I’d guess that we’ll land somewhere between those two, closer to the 3.75 degrees side.

Edit: corrected a math error
> I agree however it is many orders of magnitude less likely to occur. Therefore, I think you're wrong.

I don't think that makes me wrong?

I'm also not arguing against living a healthy life now (indeed, I take some steps in that direction in my personal life), I'm saying no matter how healthy a life you live now (hence the fanatic part) it doesn't really help that much, and the cost is high. I.e. it is not a real competitor to the miracle cure, and lack of interest in the inferior product is not evidence that the miracle cure would not succeed as a product.
> This. If it were universal, companies could just start charging everyday products much more. Boom, all people getting ubi suddenly need to start working again and they need to pay more in taxes to support all the money going in ubi.

This is pretty naive. By the same logic, an unemployment rate of 0 would also cause a lot of inflation and still lead to poverty. Everyone's now earning a wage, so prices will just rise, right?

UBI creates no money. It just redistributes it a little. It doesn't devalue the currency, and isn't inflationary.
That sounds really exciting, thank you so much for your work. I'll give it a try. Great new neovim prospects!
In case you haven't noticed, segregation has made a huge come back, and it's mostly supported by Democrats.

I'm talking the "everything but white people spaces", militant groups like NFAC, etc. We're also now segregating federal aid based on race, with federal aid for farmers being initially restricted to all groups except white men as well as federal aid for restaurants with the same requirements. If you are a white male restaurant owner, you cannot apply for federal aid due to covid-19 restrictions until they are sure enough minority/female owned businesses get aid. There is a finite limit to aid available.

It's also a cultural segregation that's being pushed. I identified as black for a long time. All my life in fact. My mother is black, my skin is white. I have been told on a number of occasions that my identification is not valid, that I don't have a right to speak on certain topics, and that I don't belong in certain spaces due to the color of my skin.

I experience way more racism in the north than in the south fwiw.
Some notes as what I would say is near target user who generally enjoys the time I spend on Tiktok:

1. Tiktok the company is absolute crap, mainly for censorship of content and diverse creators (they even recently they A/B tested censoring private messages between mutuals). This is absolutely tied to China, though the political CCP part is a lot of unfounded griping probably. But to be clear, Tiktok the user culture and the company are very different.

2. Tiktok has essentially become the new Tumblr. The algorithmic approach means that once you give some signals, the content specifies a lot and it can be a great experience for people interested in more niche things. The "default" Tiktok is incredibly bad, but spaces for queer creators, the neurodivergent, political discussion, and niche interests such as urban planning, book clubs, fandoms, movies, tv shows, art, and more are thriving. That's something that many don't see unless they are in those groups because of the algorithm, so no "cursory" look at Tiktok will find that.

3. To answer your questions, I have had my doom scroll days but generally I keep to an hour or so now and generally feel pretty good after using it. Again it depends on what "side" of Tiktok you are on, but it avoids a lot of pitfalls. I haven't seen studies, but here's one data point for you. I'm 25 for reference on age.

If you don't feel the need or desire, you don't need to be on it. But I really think the best way to conceptualize it is a visual Tumblr with an automatic algorithm approach rather than a focus on manual curation.
That is incredible, do you have a link by chance?
I don't know about the UK, but in the US a substantial portion of the budget is spent on bureaucrats ("caseworkers" and the like) who would be unnecessary with UBI.
I used to use Unite and Shougo's plugin manager, but his lack of communication or documentation, as well as just kind of abandoning projects when he felt like it, makes me no longer comfortable using his stuff.
Pain is systemic. There are lot of studies collecting data and showing that people with the same physical abnormalities experience varying degrees of pain.

For example, my spine has lost its natural lordosis and is completely flattened yet I experience no pain. My mother has several disc hernias and disc protrusions along with degenerative changes due to age, no pain. She had shoulder pain and the physical issue was calcification of tendon. There are people with calcified tendons, no pain.

My father had massive back pain issues with degenerative changes of spine that don’t cause any pain to some. The moment he started fixing a systemic issue of the back being weak and sensitizing the tissue he started experiencing less pain.
> It may be even positive, in that receiving regular soothing attention from a bullshitter may have a good effect on your mental health

This is why I would be more interested in seeing studies showing harm than studies showing efficacy.

If it’s harmless and helps people in psychosomatic/indirect ways, I’m all for it. Especially when the alternative is going to an orthopedic doc and getting pain meds, over-eagerly prescribed surgery, etc.

> 1. The CNSA is severely underfunded in recent years, to the extent that a considerable amount of space tech graduates went directly into other more "lucrative" fields such as the IT industry.

To be fair, NASA has the same problem. Rocket science just doesn’t pay as well as a FAANG programming job, even if you are trained up for the former. At lot of fields that traditionally attracted smart people are suffering similar issues.
Yes, there is a huge sentiment among the conservative public in the UK that people should not use benefits to gain capital or for social mobility. This isn't just a policy issue, it does come along with a commonly held attitude.
I have heard this multiple times and I would love some citations because although most of the reduction in life expectancy may come from death at child birth, for obvious mathematical reasons, I cannot believe wars, famine and disease don't account for anything
Good point. Is the ban more about where content is stored or how it is accessed? I guess there is nothing bad about you seeing a page served from Europe.

Otherwise, a lot of this data presumably isn’t covered by GDPR. You and your friend are ultimately user_ids with a relationship_id or sth, and these surely aren’t GDPR-controlled (but they point at details that are)
Then the not snake-oil subset should abandon the label of chiropractor. Otherwise they're just giving cover to the charlatans.
I don't care that it's literally React. The react model doesn't work for every platform. I do know the subject. I'm no expert but I've lived long enough to know that one paradigm on one platform is not the solution for all platforms. Stop making assumptions.
> let's have a substantive conversation about policy

Right, that's what this thread is for. Is there anyone in the "mainstream Democrat" area who actually supports UBI? Who took the step to actually mail COVID relief checks to people with few if any strings attached, Republicans or Democrats?
What is the functional difference then?

Your comment elides the point that almost everyone who wants UBI views at this mythical source of extra money from nowhere.

The UK already has a welfare state, we have Universal Credit which is basically a consolidated welfare payment to people who need money, and the main complaint (justified if we consider housing costs) is that this isn't enough.

I am not exactly sure how paying everyone money helps people who need it more than a system that just gives money to people who need it (particularly as once you introduce UBI, there is zero chance of it ever being removed until it bankrupts the country).

It is a nice idea but the actual practical mechanics of the situation (i.e. what people who support this really want, how this compares to what we have) are totally ignored. Public policy always goes through these phases: when you don't have something, it seems like the solution to all your problems. It won't be (again, the main reason why inequality hasn't fallen more in the UK over the past ten years is housing costs...it is the number one issue, nothing else matters).

Knowing people in other countries is a tiny minority? Maybe in the US, given its size, but it's pretty widespread and normal in Europe.
Today’s stimulus is a perfect example of UBI. 33.8% of all personal income in the last year came from the government. It results in everyone having more money to spend but eventually as we see now shortages in just about everything, those shortages cause prices to rise and soon even though everyone has more money, everything costs more. The market settles prices in the end and trying to control the market by pumping cash only works for a short term. Take an example of say Las Vegas limit surge pricing limit for Uber’s. They said we don’t want Uber’s to be expensive so we’ll limit how much they can charge. So what happens, prices are low, great! But.... now drivers don’t make what they are worth and no one wants to drive uber. Now uber in Vegas wait times can be hours longs making the service essentially useless. Many would gladly pay more to actually get an Uber, but they can’t even if they wanted to. Giving everyone more money is the same as trying to lower the price of everything. It just can’t happen from an economic standpoint without unintended consequences.
