If you're framing it as selling someone's time it may be a tough sell. Focus on the outcome and sell it at a fixed price, based on its value.
Your hypotheticals seem stretched; I see no reason they should apply. Let's try it and see?
> You're inventing hypotheticals to say why they're going to charge you more, without evidence.

Ah yes. There's no evidence. Except the countless instances of dark patterns everywhere on the web tricking into you paying money. Countless instances where you can't cancel a subscription, and have to go through multiple hoops to do it. Countless instances when there's a runaway billing in a SaaS that leaves people with huge bills.

But sure. These are all just "hypotheticals", and not the reality how the absolute vast majority of subscription business works.

> You know when it's driving and when it's not. There's no unforeseeable per-lambda charges about it.

Ah yes. Because of course it will be as simple as "when it's on, it will be charged", and not "when an obscure setting is on, you will be charged, regardless of whether it will be self-driving or not".

When the pandemic started, I was working as a manager. It was my 6th year in that company. I thought, working remote is the best that ever happened to me.

Now I changed my job three months ago and remote work is killing me.

I realized that managing remotely it’s easy if you already have build strong relationships while in the office. You know how to approach each team member, who you can trust. It also takes much more time for people to trust you.

If the principle is "Tax level should consider both income and wealth", which I agree with, then we should look at what's a reasonable level of taxation for billionaires with no taxable income, not get hung up on child credits.

If the principle is "Things like child tax credits should have a special limitation against billionaires", then I disagree with it, well, on principle. Tax system should be simple, not complicated. Having a complicated tax system is what benefits unscrupulous billionaires because then nobody can figure out exactly what they're paying and what they should be paying. Also, maybe it's just me, but the argument sounds disturbingly similar to "People buying latest iPhones don't deserve welfare checks!" - just in the other direction.

Not to be pessimistic, but this is very typical of most food science + health journalism. The odds someone really did their research and didn't just start with whatever the current food and health trends are and work an article (poorly) backwards from there is very low.

When you calculate the risk for "yourself", you're not actually just making a decision for yourself, you're making a decision on the health of those around you, because the existence of a viable breeding ground for the disease keeps it active in the population, and capable of mutating, and escaping vaccines.

Besides, the government isn't even forcing you in the sense of "you're going to go to jail if you don't do this." There's forcing you in the sense of "You can't fly on this plane if not vaccinated." Private businesses could refuse you service, like "You're not coming into this movie theater unless you're vaccinated or wearing a mask." Can't libertarians decide who to associate with and if they don't want to associate with non-vaccinated, isn't that their right?

Governments force lots of things in democracies. Education is forced for example. Truancy is illegal. You as a parent cannot make a decision to never educate your child in many countries.

The personal freedom to make choices for one's self should absolutely be up to the individual - but only insofar as those choices only affect the individual making them.

Once you talk about things like being contagious and infecting others, personal freedoms must be balanced against societal well-being.

Where that balance lies is, of course, where the debate should be. Ignoring one side and focusing solely on the other is unproductive in my opinion.
I'm getting the opposite from my co-worker who spent a year out of the office, complaining about how out of the loop he was. And he's a manager.

Oh, yeah. He was complaining about the noise, pre-Covid.

So your last paragraph seems to be a bit overstated. It may be true for you, but you state it like it's true for everybody, and it's not.

But if you've made your body accustomed to a diet high in simple carbs (esp sugars), you need to break that cycle as well.

Refined seed oils contain polyunsaturated fats (and more specifically, omega-6 polyunsaturated fats, and more specifically yet, linoleic acid) in far higher concentrations than traditional foods. I believe this is the main thing that makes processed food unhealthy, and, indeed, is the main driver of the epidemic of the so-called "diseases of civilization" (obesity, diabetes, cancer, etc) that most of the world is experiencing.

This series of blog posts does an excellent job of summarizing the evidence:

I think this retort is sorta factually correct but missing the author's point. Totally true that by mass the preservatives aren't a lot, but that doesn't mean the refined products of naturally occurring plants are 'real foods' in the sense the author intends it.

One way to think of this is that a food which is refined moves further and further away from the original 'real food' as it naturally occurs. ~80% of a wheat 'corn' is the white part, ~20% of a soy bean is oil, and 15-20% of a beet is sugar.

Absolutely agree with everything Linus says here. But I'm almost equally concerned that there's an awful lot of people on the pro-science bandwagon who don't actually support science, but simply don't tolerate dissent or questioning, and that's unscientific and potentially harmful too.

I scanned most of the Pfizer trial and was wondering why we expected the immunity after the vaccine to last longer than natural immunity. A typical infection can last for several weeks, so your immune system is presumably exposed to the virus for a similar period of time. And after a natural infection I hear 6 months being thrown around as a typical window of immunity. But I was hearing claims of vaccines lasting for years, when they were only in the trials for less than 6 months. Why is this?

Fortunately I know a lot of people in the medical field. I asked a nurse who had been in a COVID ICU ward since this began. No idea, he said. Good question. I asked a few others: same answer. I asked several anesthesiologist friends: they did more med-school after all. Mostly no idea. One suggested that the vaccine might be more targeted and get a more potent response, maybe?

I tried casting a wider net on Facebook, and got a few nastygrams about how I was spreading uneducated FUD. I asked if they knew the answer but I was told to listen to the experts and read the science, whatever that means to these people. One friend did send me a link to a quote by the Moderna CEO that implied they have machines that can count antibody concentrations and they tracked it over time - I had no idea about that, so that was cool.

Eventually someone referred me to their cousin in nursing school who referred me to their brother-in-law who is actually an epidemiologist, and he told me it was a good question and explained all sorts of things about the various types of cells involved in the immune response and how the vaccine delivery invokes a very specific response that is, as one of the doctors suspected, much more targeted at something less likely to change, and how those immune cell types produce longer-lasting immunity. Now I was satisfied and learned something.

But those people in the middle think of themselves as being pro-science but they're really not. And the more they engage with anti-vaxxers the more ammunition anti-vaxxers will think they have and the more they'll dig into their beliefs. It's not good.
No, you guys are both misunderstanding how the sales sourcing works: it's the address where the sale is deemed to have taken place.

For brick-and-mortar sales, that is the physical location of the store: you will be taxed the appropriate rate for the address of the store. Note that this includes includes online orders picked up from a store location, and in-person orders even if the goods are not actually physically located at the store, such as if they are shipped from a separate warehouse to the store. However, delivery orders might be subject to different rules, depending on the state; some states use the address provided by the customer as the location of the sale, so that in-person sales delivered to out-of-state addresses might not be subject to sales tax.

For online sales, the sale is (now) treated to have occurred at the address provided by the buyer for delivery, because that is the most expedient way to determine address. The EU has made waves about using IP addresses or geolocation to determine the actual location of the buyer at the time the order is submitted, but AFAIK both proposals are DOA due to infeasibility.

It seems to me the seller's state has just as much claim to sales tax as the buyer's. The seller is potentially making use of business development credits etc, etc, originating in their state.

No, the seller's state doesn't have a claim to the sales tax, because sales tax is a tax on the customer not the seller. It is simply collected by the seller because the compliance is easier to enforce. (Caveat: in Hawaii, the GET is a tax on the seller that can be passed on to the customer.)
This is much more gentle than the old Torvalds.
Linus is the guy replying.
Your conflating your right to risk yourself (declining a vaccine) with your right to risk others (refusing a mask mandate). Those are very different things.

"Do what you want to yourself, but leave the rest of us out of it" is the definition of freedom.

That said, any actual calculation of the risks should send people flocking to be vaccinated. But you do you. Just please don't vote.

Gosh I wish I had access to this exciting new update - unfortunately I own an offbrand iPad made by this knock-off company called Apple. As such it's locked to only be able to run iOS 10 and lower. I know I made a bad decision purchasing from a hardware company while wishing the software company would support me in perpetuity but I was hopeful the developers behind iOS would actually offer to roll out updates to we Apple customers in addition to their own large customer base.

Next time I buy an iDevice I'll be sure to seek out an iOS approved vendor for my purchase instead of just grabbing one of these rando-Apple devices off the street.

This is good.

Now states are combating such hesitancy by drawing lottery for vaccinated folks.

Like, having this magic, absolutely mind boggling potion that prevents serious illness and death *isn't* already the lottery win of our lifetime??

People in India and elsewhere are dying because of lack of vaccines and here we have educated, first world countries struggle to get their citizens vaccinated.

Unfortunately shaming such people will only push them further into antivax territory.

So what you are doing here is activism.
The trend in courts and legislatures, both in the US and in Europe and the ROW, is toward customer-based tax sourcing and away from seller-based sourcing.

You can thank Amazon for abusing seller-based sourcing for this shift, though it has actually been a decades-long process that began before most people on this forum were born. Amazon simply accelerated the transition.

correct, Also the underlay needs to be replaced often and if it's not the tiles can come loose or get damaged. Replacing the underlay requires removing all the tile, which is labor intensive, and then depending on the HOA/owner preferences, you can try to color match damaged tiles or replace the tiles, or replace portions, all of these are done regularly. Depending on type of underlay used, it might need to be replaced every 7-25 years, again depending on the weather conditions and materials used.

The abusive tracking hasn't made ads more effective. I mean it means advertisers spend more paying for bigger and noisier ads sure, but that's also anti-user.

There's also nothing stopping ads from being relevant, when google started AdWords (when "don't be evil" was still a thing) you got useful ads based on what you were actually looking at. Now you getting nothing but repeat ads for something you searched for last week.

that relevant ads requires spying and abuse is nonsense, and google's original destruction of the ad tech industry demonstrated that non-spying ads that were based on page content were more than effective enough.

Of course your uid implies that at best you're a pro-google fan, if not an actual employee, so I don't see me convincing you of anything.

Linux fans really like to play up the "Windows is so insecure!" rhetoric, but it isn't really true. Linux and the common systems implemented on it, for instance, have had plenty of vulnerabilities. Windows gets an especially bad rap pretty much only because it is the most common Desktop OS, but Desktop Windows and Desktop Linux have the same giant gaping security problem: the human being using them.
It’s not clear what exactly you’re referring to by “attitude” or how you think “Therapy” will affect it.
