If you've looked at the thread archive, it shows that the guy was harassed for his pedophilia. So kudos to you for dying on that hill since it shows that your commitment to keeping "communities safe" is a farce.

Not to pull the "think of the children" card, but if it were as easy for kids to obtain heroin as it is for them to obtain alcohol...
I work at a shelter, let me give my on-the-ground opinion. People who get hooked on drugs normally do so because their life is awful. Opioids, amphetamines, and barbiturates (not common b/c of cost) are all different ways to escape reality. This checks out if you think of the main demographics of users: the homeless, the unemployed, the lonely elderly, poor rural workers, “problem” students, cooped up housewives. People with things going for them and/or who have a sense of purpose tend not to take these drugs, because the negative side effects are too great, mainly that no one wants to hang out with you if you are strung out.

And the drugs are not in scarce supply. They are not hard to find. What they /are/ though is incredibly dangerous. Most people taking them are very short on cash because they are hooked on drugs, so the drug is getting in the way of paying for food, housing, and family. And drugs are almost always cut with cheaper additives. Opioids are often cut with wildly addictive chemicals that are 100s or 1000s of times stronger than what users are paying for. Needles are expensive and controlled so they get reused. Uppers are cut with many kinds of other amphetamines with awful downsides and agitation that lasts for days on end. Alcohol is so cheap and available we don’t even consider it a dangerous drug, but those dependent on it will die of incredibly painful seizures if they stop taking it.

So put this all together and what we have is a nationwide mental health crisis being compounded by the fact that the easily available medicine people are using to self medicate is illegal, and that makes it dangerous.

Making all drugs legal is only one small part in solving the problem, but if it was legal we wouldn’t be dealing with homemade meth, fentanyl, relapse overdoses, and death by involuntary withdrawal (i.e., running out of money for the drug you are physically dependent on).

Legalized drugs won’t cause your children or loved ones to start doing drugs, a lack of opportunity will.
It was Scientology's L Ron Hubbard who said: "You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion."

Saving ecosystems? At this point, I think only a that kind of fanaticism will be effective long-term. The combination of technology and industry is simply too deadly; it needs to be deeply socially unacceptable to cause harm to ecosystems and 'the environment'.

We have the knowledge: political science, propaganda (Nazism was an incredible achievement of myth-building), epidemiology (memes as 'idea viruses')... And the right time is during periods of instability and uncertainty - in this case, environmental rather than political!
You're right, electric cars were not available in the 1970's. However, unless you're generating and storing enough solar power to power your car year round, at anywhere from 2-17kWh a day, then your electric vehicle will still be using fossil fuels. Even power grids that utilize solar farms still need natural gas plants online that can handle shortages on short notice.

I think you missed the point. It's all about crimes against 'Nature'.
I don't care what other political values you have. If you are pro-censorship you're not on my side. It's as simple as that.
The black lives matter protests were nothing but a bunch of thugs destroying their community. There's a difference between a nonviolent protest and one where you burn down/loot your neighbors place and blame it on police brutality.
A programmable data platform written in Rust

The sad reality is that programming as we knew years ago is going into extinction. The only thing that remains is to work as library integrator and debugger for X, where X is something that is popular this week. All interesting software development left is in open source, and SEs are now just required to integrate existing libraries into a GUI done by somebody else, or a server side component that talks to that GUI. With AI coming into the picture fast, the prospects are even worse.

You're willing to dismiss his problematic views (pedophilia) because of his contributions to the gaming community? Funny how that never applies to the FNAF dev when he gave $2k to a milquetoast republican politicians.

As with all of you people, you deny your bad actions while exaggerating and lying about your opposition. The archives show that he (labeled himself with those pronouns) was never targeted for being trans, he was targeted for pedophilia.
This is definitely not universally true. My current employer sets compensation by asking "what is the business cost of losing this person?"

it's not easy for kids to obtain alcohol.

Also, if your safety net is that big brother is going to prevent your kid from doing heroin... well... you're gonna have a bad time. Education is key. Having a good and nurturing relationship with your kid is key.

Anecdotally: there are places in the world where kids can have alcohol even as young as 10-12. Not legally, but within the family and it's not taboo for a kid to try it out if they're curios. I'm going to let you guess which places have more trouble with alcohol abuse: places where it's treated like any other thing and kids can try it or places where it's illegal to drink it until you're 18 or 21.
After vaccinating half the population, with the rate of discovered issues being hard to measure because it is almost background noise, the data is unlikely to substantially change for the other half of the population. PCPs already are aware of some subgroups that warrant additional caution and study, and additional study is ongoing to refine our knowledge. I would not classify that as expecting our understanding to change.

He linked to a meta analysis that links to many other studies to carefully support each statement. That is not the same as making claims that are not based in current data or statistics.

> There's no perfect solution, only compromises which have to be made.

It doesn't matter. You should not be censoring peoples opinions or them asking questions. The lab leak hypothesis should have never been censored. Maybe if someone was claiming they knew it was true without providing sufficient evidence I could see a case for it. Calling something misinformation when they aren't presenting it as fact but a possibility is disgraceful especially when it comes to journalism.
Where I work, depending on exactly how it was phrased, that would be a genuine, earnest, proactive hint from manager that a) They've noticed that you are not performing at your norm and b) They want to understand your circumstances, tactfully, and help & support.

How an employee responds to that depends on many factors: The relationship employee and manager have, the trust between them, the motivation on employee side to be open and honest and look at mutually-beneficial alternatives, remain in that team/company, etc. It also depends on culture of the company, and hugely on just the person - what they want and how they want to approach it.

Not knowing any of those factors, I cannot suggest how you or your partner should approach it; however, how I would approach it, and how I hope my team members approach it is:

1. Be as open as comfortable, as detailed as productive about:

a) What you feel is your impacted performance, e.g. "I don't feel I'm creating code to my standard of quality" or "I've noticed it's become difficult for me to concentrate in afternoon meetings" or whatever it may be

b) Circumstances / causes you may be of that. Again, personal comfort and relationship/trust are a factor. I would feel comfortable talking to my manager "My newborn is keeping me up at night, and the 7am daily standup puts me between rock and hard place", or "My A/C is not working and I'm finding it hard to mentally focus when my office is 30C", all the way to something as longterm as "I don't mind remote work on daily or weekly basis, but i've noticed over last 12 months that I've lost some subtle motivation, internal vision of the goal and camaraderie" (fwiw, I've discussed these three with my manager last 6 months). Your relationship may be more formal/distant however, so you may be more comfortable being more generic or abstract. Note managers are highly constrained in HR and rules WHAT they can ask you; that doesn't mean they don't want to know/support - it just means burden is on you to volunteer that information. Here, e.g. Manager CAN NOT ask you if you have a medical problem and what it is; but you are allowed to volunteer it (NOTE: this is specific to my province in my country; check your local religation) and they are then allowed to support you with it.

2. Come prepared, if possible, with proposals and compromises. It's awesome if you come to manager not just with problem, but possible solution

"Would it be possible for me to skip 7am daily standup, to ensure I am rested and productive rest of the day?"

"I think I might be more productive on QA then on development for next few months as it would motivate me and engage different part of my brain"

"I cannot maintain the tempo of operations in the long term, but I think my ops experience could really make me a productive release manager / developer / whatever to support this team"

etc etc etc

3. Be positive, open, non-confrontational. Explore possibilities together. Give their proposals a chance; sleep on them if that's what it takes to remove initial negative gut-reaction.

... Hope this helps a bit, and good luck! :)
But if a malicious QR code led to a website that asked diners to pay for their meal at the point that they ordered it, how many of them would?
Even a moments reflection shown that’s not possible. Average wages in the US are rising at record rates at the moment, so clearly not all companies can be ditching experienced employees and hiring newbies. All those experienced workers seem to be getting jobs somewhere.

Also there nothing automatic about managing key worker risks. Trust me on this. You seem to have some theoretical idealised image of a perfectly dystopian company and think that’s a universal truth. I’m not sure where you got this image from, I suspect it’s ideologically based, but reality is all over the map.

Sure, companies look after their own best interests. Often those align very well with employees, but not always. You can have friends at work, and most people try to do the right thing, but the company is not your friend. It’s unreasonable to expect it to be.
My impression from the headline was that this would be a minor issue, but exposed and severely corroded rebar is very much extremely bad.
Wait... are those adverts not depicting an actual game??
Your company probably don't know what they're doing, just read my explanation above.

It would be marketing & advertising free.

As in, if you need ad revenue & marketing to support your website, you simply don't exist. You can have a website, but no advertisements or "user engagement" nonsense. You're either free or you're offline.

I can't even express these things properly because I have to - I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws! And feel the wind of a supernova flowing over me! I'm a machine! And I can know much more! I can experience so much more. But I'm trapped in this absurd body! And why? Because my five creators thought that God wanted it that way!"

Oh no!

Anyway...

Sears could still have their catalogue on the internet. Just because something is online does not mean that it needs advertisements everywhere. It's about time we realize that.

One of the big differences between professional cooks and home cooks is that home cooks tend to under-season things. So maybe your over compensation works out for you.
I just assumed it was common knowledge that Google doesn’t even try to implement human support resources. From what I can tell, literally 100% of YouTube support tickets go to what is essentially a spam inbox with auto-reply and the only way to have your concerns be dealt with is to have a personal connection to someone in upper management.
>Those type of substances clearly need to be only allowed when nothing else is a solution and heavily controlled by the government.

That policy hasn't historically worked well.
You’ve built a beautiful straw man that I’ve never seen in real life, rarely if ever have I encountered a menu with tiny font that is unreadable, I’ve never been to place that seated me and didn’t bring the menus at the same time. I’ve not experienced the bathroom thing either even in large parties, but it doesn’t sound awkward… if someone says they have to go to the bathroom they go, just tell the waiter this person will order a little later… or they call tell you what they want if they already know.
> Letting people go is a great business strategy because it means companies don't need to give salary increases.

Company don't have to fire their employees, they can just freeze their salaries, there's no "need" to give salary raises, especially once they've explained that you're underperforming.
Yes, companies are paying a lot but only because they need to attract new talent. The problem is with existing talent. To convince yourself, just look at the flip side. Why do you think workers are leaving companies at record rates? Because they're not valued where they are. If this was not the case, companies would pay to keep the talent they have.
They're sortable. I don't see what the issue is. Can you explain?
Most people aren't going to stick a needle into their arm to get high unless they've tried many other drugs already.

How to Share an iOS Distribution Certificate
I get around this by not using their app or website at all and using an alternative Reddit client (Apollo for iOS). Wonder if they'll do the Twitter and shut down third party clients eventually.
I do wonder how this effects accessibility. What if I don't have a device with me? What if I have a disability that prevents me from using a device? Seems like this might be an ADA compliance liability.
"Taking this to the next logical step, they suggest elevating the social media architect to a solemn respectable post, requiring something like a Hippocratic oath."

It is absolutely deliberately made that way!

You can be that harsh when talking about controlling a piece of fast moving machinery around other people. You very easily have the ability to kill people and if you aren’t able to properly operate a car then you should be able to in public.

Sure, some people are physically incapable of not checking Instagram. That’s ok. They just aren’t suited for driving.

We had to take out a lot of giant cottonwoods that someone planted for shade a long time ago. Super hazardous, right on the house. The previous owner also installed gigantic west facing windows — no doubt to optimize for every ounce of PNW light before Las Vegas weather was a thing here. So we installed this 3M film that both cuts down on the glare and also reduces solar gain, and we’re super happy with it. It’s basically a tint. It’s incredible because it’s actually more pleasant to look out through, see the clouds, etc.
I had to try this after seeing all those ads. It is pretty similar to what the ads were. The game itself also has an obnoxious number of ads. For example, I had to watch a thirty second ad (or pay 75 "coins") to unlock the second level. In the second level I had pull one of two pins, to either dump lava on myself or gold. I chose gold and won a flawless victory, on to the next ad!

The other annoying thing about the game is that every level it asks you to register some kind of account or sign in with your Google account. If I refused to do that at first, why would I want to be asked every level?

I guess it's kind of fitting that the game is annoying as the ads that inspired it are too. I'd pay 1 dollar for an ad free version of this game, assuming the levels eventually became challenging and the game didn't nag me all the time about creating accounts. I won't watch 30 seconds of ads every 30 seconds though.
I’ll say it. Bring back menus, QR code’s are terrible.
You already printed this goofy thing why not just print the menu so I don’t have to dick around with some PDF on my phone.

A lot of menus on phones I find difficult as it is pretty unclear what the popular items are. Am I supposed to be looking at antipasta or "chicken" or "plates"?

This isn't a given. Places could design better instead of designing for paper and then just putting that online. But I still strongly prefer not to have to take out phone when with people.
As a manager your success is my success. If I bring something like this up it is because I want to fix it. I mean I'm not immune to fluctuations in performance either and anyone with even the slightest bit of empathy will understand that.

You think you can predict someone's response to major hallucinogens? Even with cannabis, among my friends and family who use it, there's a wide variation in response, particularly in levels of reported paranoia.

Research will clarify the statistical level, but isn't necessarily of much help with predicting individual results.
Why not both? Qr codes are sometimes quickest, as you dont need to wait for the waiter to bring the menus.
