So that's why Oracle changed their job posting for a position my wife was trying to get in January.

Edit: Just spoke with her to get the details refreshed. She found the job posting in December, went through several wickets and then radio silence for a week. In January she was told, "Sorry this position isn't available to people in Colorado." Going back to the job posting it had that one change added to it.

UV is a well-known disinfectant.

I don't know why everyone's piling on GP here. This isn't abandonware, the game is still being distributed by a company that still operates. And TFA author isn't distributing a mod or a patch, they're distributing the full actual game, which the owner is also still distributing.

I mean even then it may still be fine. But speculating about what the company might possibly think is beside the point - they're right there active on twitter! It's perfectly reasonable to wonder why TFA author didn't bother to reach out.
No company is a monolith, but the company, as an organization, is responsible for everything that happens inside the org. This is why it’s fair to criticize Amazon when it has poor worker safety issues in its warehouses, instead of needing to know what specific warehouse managers are in charge of those facilities. Or why it’s fair to criticize Apple for increasing their own ad business while cracking down on other companies’, when those are obviously different units.

In the same way, it is very fair to call out hypocrisy in the NYT’s behavior, even if it happens in two different units of the business. They don’t get a pass just because one unit happens to be journalists or something.
And, on average, how many drivers/passengers are permabanned before any engineer is paged?

It might be a "bug' from uber's perspective. For we mortals they interfere with basic economic functions. When my grocery store overcharges me for something they can can push a fix to me within seconds. The customer service person doesnt need an engineer to see that potatoes shouldnt cost that much. And they are empowered to correct the error immediately, with cash in hand if necessary. Nobody at uber has such power.
That seems, for better or for worse, paved with good intentions.
Rational? Maybe for them. But when they refuse to help the consumer, it’s the customer’s right to issue a chargeback. That’s their purpose: to deal with bad merchants. Too many chargebacks can get you dropped from your payment processor. But when the merchant bans you to hide the fact that they suck (from the processor), that’s pretty messed up.

> Cryptocurrency is by definition non-fungible, and as you rightly pointed out, harder to recover.

Cryptocurrency is very fungible. When I withdraw BTC from Coinbase, it's the same as any other BTC. There are blacklists of BTC addresses (for scams, ransomware, blackmail, etc) but there are also blacklists of USD serial numbers (from robberies, ransom payments, etc). Also there's the issue of counterfeit bills.

> But no matter what country you are a citizen of, you can use the US government to recover your USD.

Where did you hear that from? There are plenty of nations that the US has shunned from banking infrastructure: Iran, North Korea, Cuba, etc. People in those countries will have no help from the US in recovering their stolen money. Also the US government isn't required to help anyone recover USD. They usually don't do squat when there's theft overseas. And by using the banking system, you open yourself to the whims of US authorities.

If anything it's closer to the opposite of your claim: For citizens of most countries, the US government can freeze your accounts and take your money.

Assuming the merchant is 100% honest and accurate, yes this is rational. If the merchant is error-prone and doesn't want their occasional erroneous (or intentional) overcharges affecting their relationship with credit services, it's also rational.

> I agree that being misleading is bad.

How it started: "I do see at least some information about what Phabricator is" and " vague description is much better than nothing."

How it's going: "I agree that being misleading is bad."

Number of times I said or implied anything about information being misleading: 0. Number of times I said the comment provided zero useful information: many.

> If someone explained what you do with phabricator, but left it ambiguous

Too many words that are as useful or as pertinent to the discussion as the original comment: not at all.
Note that I've edited my comment to better reflect my thoughts (probably since you wrote this).

I don't think you should take this one paper as some kind of definitive rebuttal on masks. You should interpret it as a reasonable summary of current evidence, as well as a not-terrible analysis of US states that poses some serious challenges to the effectiveness of mask mandates.

That said, an editorial/letter in science daily is not a rebuttal, and wikipedia is useless for politically sensitive questions. There are many papers on both sides of the issue, and it's easy to cherry-pick a set that support any particular position.

Is it the end of the discussion? No. But It's not as cut-and-dried as people make it seem. The evidence base for masks is very low-quality. The issue became political, and as with all things political today, nuance and reason were tossed out the window.
People try to take any chance to make a villian out of big tech, it's just a damn bug people!

The act allows for quite a bit of flexibility:

"The Act requires employers to include the hourly rate or salary compensation (or a range thereof) the employer is offering for the position. This compensation range may extend from the lowest to the highest pay the employer, in good faith, believes it may pay for the particular job."

I’m really into camping and outdoors stuff, but have never heard of this. What do commercial packs / sleeping bags look like? Are they heavier? What commercial use even is there for this sort of thing? I’m so interested!

I’m a huge fan of buying high quality gear that’ll last forever - do you have any ideas where to shop for these?
Hmm. It’s interesting to note that skeptics seem much more invested in being right about crypto being a scam than proponents are in it being here to stay.

The more time passes, the shriller the cries of skeptics become, leading me to believe that skeptics are emotionally invested to the extreme in the failure of crypto. I rarely see any carefully considered, informed opinions just tulips and drugs and money laundering lol. You know what is used for drugs? Cash. You know how money is laundered? Banks. You know what is worthless? Venezuelan currency. Sure, crypto, just like any fungible asset, is used in these ways... but none nearly as much a fiat is.

I’m becoming convinced that naysayers are more and more afraid of having been wrong and missing the boat as time goes on.

Every day Bitcoin fails to go to 0, it gains legitimacy as a store of value and means of payment.

I guess that is pretty nerve wracking if you made a hasty decision early on to pretend it wasn’t happening, and now it seems like you’re being left in the dust, still preaching from your soap box.

There have been a number of laboratory studies performed that show varying levels of effectiveness for different kinds of masks and materials (where "effectiveness" is defined in all sorts of different ways that may or may not be relevant). Prior to Covid-19, there was a low-quality evidence base that didn't provide much signal either way:

https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/masking-lack-of-evidence-with-...

Strapping a mask on a mannequin or to a nozzle is, of course, very different than asking people to wear them everywhere. For evidence of real-world effectiveness of a medical intervention, you do a controlled trial. We could have done some, but we did not. It is notable -- but not at all perfect -- that the only RCT conducted with masks and Covid-19 in 2020 found no significant personal protective effect:

https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817

It is a well-done study, and certainly limits the claims that can be made for masks, but doesn't answer every question. A good cluster RCT might have been able to address the question of whether or not masks protect others, for example.
I haven’t looked at the article, but this sounds like the good old “chip in the loop” method. What’s new here?
I should crowdfund a Candyland/Monopoly cross-over.
As someone who does uber eats for some side cash (I have a very small and fuel effecient car, so it actually works out gas wise for me), the 11 dollars was the total service charge. Uber then breaks it down by what they take (the first party part, not included), and any other fees are in a seperate Third party section. So from my perspective of 11 dollars total, with 6 for the third party (which they absolutely pass onto the driver), the missing 5 could be made up by the Uber first party charges.

Now I can't confirm this, I'm not on his account, and he hasn't posted it yet. But I would put a nickel on the other 5 bucks being paid directly to Uber. Which again, not uncommon.

Here's an example from a delivery I did the other day, I can get more screenshots if you want. But out of the 22 dollars the customer paid for the delivery, I received 5.61 before tip. The rest went to uber [1]

If most of it is locked in someone else’s account and they won’t sell it to you: it is scarce. If nobody wants to buy it: it’s not scarce. Scarcity is based on supply and demand, not on a single number.

The Colorado law gets a lot of press for requiring salary ranges on job postings, but the full law includes many more requirements:

> the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, a Colorado law signed in 2019 but that went into effect at the start of this year, in part requires all employers to immediately notify current employees of "promotional opportunities," provide a salary range and description of benefits on a job listing, as well as maintain records of job descriptions and compensation history for every employee. As part of this, regulators in Colorado decided that “An employer is required to ‘disclose in each posting for each job the hourly or salary compensation, or a range of hourly or the salary compensation, and a general description of all of the benefits and other compensation to be offered to the hired applicant.’” They also instituted rules about notifying current employees about promotion opportunities as part of new job postings.

None of these requirements are dealbreakers on their own, but the hurdle is now that your company must ensure they’re not violating any Colorado laws by simply advertising a remote position that someone in Colorado might read.

Colorado has only about 1.5% of the US population, so depending on the size of your company it might be easier to just exclude Colorado and avoid having to dedicate someone’s time to managing all of these rules just in case you might hire someone from Colorado.

Just post salary ranges for open positions! If the position is vague or covers a wide range of experience, just post a wide range. Salary transparency is a very good thing, it empowers employees and is good for the industry overall.

Note that CA law requires employers to provide salary ranges upon request after any initial interview. So not knowing a salary range for a posted position is no excuse, unless you plan on excluding CA from your remote position as well.

This is not wrong, but I feel you are hiding the adversity inherent to employee-employer relations. Why is there such a labor glut anways? If it's an immaterial underconsumptionist / keyensian demand-shortfall type problem, how can we boost aggregate demand and broad population purchasing power. If it's some sort of supply glut / too much productivity issue, how can we all work less?

Speaking about these issues as if they are "engineering tradeoffs" ignores that the status quo is not static and universal.

Paid for by advertisers != paid for by ads backed by persistent surveillance

The public promise was always it's free because we show you ads. The general public equates that with having to view a billboard on the highway. The fact that persistent surveillance is used to serve ads now is never called out or publicized by these companies for a reason. They know that most people would think that is creepy and that they are going to far.

The reasoning that we give the users a free app therefore we can do everything in our power to surveil and exploit the information of those users for money is bs. I can't think of a single person who has no conflicts of interest that would say otherwise. There is also so much hand wavy stuff thrown around with this argument like "but we're making the world a better place, so the means justify the ends". I haven't worked at any of the large social media or similar companies but I still feel guilty like I have blood on my hands because of those that feign altruism while being bloodthirsty capitalists in this industry. I am definitely a capitalist but some actions just aren't moral and I don't think we should ignore the reality of those actions.
I would particularly want guidance about

* what intensity of light to use

* what volume of air can flow past it per second

I totally believe that UV light is great at killing pathogens and that UV belongs in ventilation systems, but we presumably need to know how much UV light is needed.

The UV doses needed also seem to depend on a lot on the type of pathogen. For example, viruses require a higher dose than bacteria. In
