Have you ever dealt with an actual company in the US? The ones I've dealt with are incredibly sexist and racist. They work to protect harassers and they prevent employees from taking their employers to court.

EDIT: To elaborate, if you are in a bind, you have usually four places to turn. The employer, the state, your coworkers and other workers in a union, and the people generally (via the media, protests, etc). Your coworkers are likely to have similar interests to you and are strategically positioned to make demands by virtue of the fact they have their hands on the levers of production. Take your pick.
I think this is a very valid point and something that we will need to consider. Thank you for bringing it up. The variation in quality is certainly not easy to solve, especially when pairing it with a clinical decision-making hierarchy.

Same here, my partner and I decided we're just going to bite the bullet. At least we can afford it and we'll lock that affordable mortgage into place and hope for the best.
That's a great idea: give us more reasons not to take the vaccine. Or are they just gonna fire them?
As long as housing continues to be treated like an investment, people will do whatever it takes (however slimy it may be) to protect and grow that investment. Unfortunately I only see this problem getting worse as time goes on.

> because the CDC says on their website that the flu is more dangerous than covid for young people.

Depends what you're defining as young people. Under 5 as in those quotes, maybe virtually no risk. But I know otherwise healthy people in their 20s who got sick over a year ago. Their sense of smell and taste is still completely fried with no sign of recovery.

Maybe that can happen with a bad flu sometimes, but it seems way more common with covid. It seems like there's some nerve damage resulting from the virus that we don't yet fully understand.

The vaccine seemed like a safer gamble than potentially forever losing my ability to taste, or worse.
> Worst season in recent memory was 61k deaths among influenza patients. Last year saw 600k americans die of covid.

Those aren't directly comparable because the various flus have been circulating for years/decades and people have died all across that time. While people do have cross-immunity with sars-cov-2 and other coronaviruses, sars-cov-2 is new so it's hitting those decades of people all at once.

The currently estimated IFR across all age groups is around 0.15%, putting it on-par with the flu (something like 0.07% IIRC; this one is hard to pin down because there's a lot of different flus). And in the past few months, cases have spiked without a spike in deaths all over the place, so that 0.15% is probably going to drop more, especially with indications that the Delta variant is more infections but less serious. (That said the effect the past few months could be the effect of the vaccines; it's not clear to me if that's supposed to affect the estimated IFR or that estimation is for a vulnerable population (but I'm not sure how you could estimate a vulnerable population for one that's been around for a while, so I think it does still count))

Notion (my employer) was 100% Elastic Beanstalk until about a month ago, now we’re 100% ECS. We migrated once our 1200 box cluster started stalling deploys randomly while saying everything was healthy in the API. At that many instances, the some pages in the dashboard would hang the browser.

That data is intensely misleading, leading to false interpretations such as the one you have offered. This is just three data points retrieved from three different sources about different vehicles, different temperatures, and wildly different starting SOC. The two supercharger curves shown on that page dip early because they started from a 0% SOC. Charging between 0–10% places additional thermal strain on the battery which results in a slower overall charge rate than if you started from 10%+.

There is much better data out there which demonstrates that if you keep the variables under control, superchargers and CCS2 chargers with the same peak power availability have nominally identical charge rates.
Thats not my argument, I just think the whole thing is silly, yes men and women should get paid the same according to their position and value to the company, but the idea that there should not be a company with "too many white men" seems crazy.

Wait times are too high to see a psychiatrist so 1) how can we unlock a latent supply of these professionals (by way of their excess time) and 2) in what cases can we substitute these professionals with others whose supply is greater and who can provide similar functions.

Depending on the state that you live in, a psychiatric NP can get you that prescription at a lower cost to you and, more importantly, quicker. We want to allow other organizations to do that for their patients using our providers.
It’s heavier but not bigger. It’s not ideal but I like that it is more versatile (for me).

I like to leave my laptop ‘docked’ and use it as a desktop often.

Thoroughbreds also have microchips in their necks now, but those solve a different problem.

However, no one wants to root for or bet on a horse identified by a long random number. So, printable and pronounceable names are still used.

There has been a move toward boosting 'authoritative sources' in the tech industry the past few years. Of course after intense pressure from the 'authoritative sources' demanding preferential treatment on tech platforms.

This is a blog from the ceo of youtube, but it isn't just youtube. It's a priority of alphabet, the parent company of youtube, google, etc and all major tech/social media companies - apple, facebook, reddit, etc.

What local news source is more 'authoritative' than the NYT, WSJ, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, Fox News, etc? When the george floyd incident happened, what sources were you presented with on tech platforms? Local news from minnesota or NYT, CNN, BBC, Sky News, etc?
Totally! And for a user that knows the importance of a secure password, that's fine. But the average user in an organization picks terrible passwords. A random 5 or 6 digit PIN generated by the IT department (to avoid the user picking their daughter's birthday) used to lock a TPM is generally easy to remember and secure, especially if a lockout policy is set on the TPM.

I agree that for the user who would pick a secure passphrase, it's comparable security either way and thus really comes down to preference. I like tapping a quick PIN on the numpad rather than typing out a passphrase, but I can definitely see the advantages to the passphrase approach: you don't have to depend on a piece of hardware specific to the machine, and the attack surface for a potential backdoor is a lot smaller, especially if you're using FOSS full disk encryption software like Veracrypt.
The author's script (unknowingly) was relying on word splitting to convert string to cut-compatible format.

Practical how? It's literally an order of magnitude easier to implement Korean or Chinese TTS than English. A Korean block or Chinese character only has one pronounciation, with the number exceptions few enough to list. The mapping from symbol to sound is near deterministic. English TTS has been under development for decades and it usually still doesn't pronounce half the words right. They also don't require the convoluted kerning and line breaking algorithm that English text needs. Unlike for latin, Monospace spacing is canonical, so you don't have to do the weird dance where code has to use one font and prose another font. Literally the only argument you can make is that if you mutilate English spelling enough you can get do a 8 bit per character encoding, but that's a dumb point because a 16bit Korean or Chinese character usually represents more information than 5 English letters.

> “…there seems to be no discernible correlation between minimum wage increases and a rise in business failures, either in the year the increase occurred or in the following year. If anything, the evidence leans the other way”

https://www.epi.org/publication/webfeatures_viewpoints_raisi...

Second-order effects of people have more money, is they can spend it on local businesses. Undeniably there will be some inflation but not enough to subsume the increase. As a counterpoint, large businesses like fast food and supermarket chains pay minimum wage, and many of their employees need to rely on welfare to get by - in general, business will pay the least they can get away with, no matter how many there are. Add to that, minimum wage disproportionately affects the bigger players who can't pay cash-in-hand (due to greater regulatory oversight) but can well afford to pay a higher wage, not the smaller businesses.
> It is pretty clear to me that this is equivalent to me as a display guy claiming Microsoft is blocking progress in operating system development...

I'd need to have a very low opinion of a "display guy" to believe he was genuinely arguing in good faith, and in keeping with the spirit of HN (hallowed be its name), that the market forces an OS is subject to (like user training with regard to network effect) have any overlap with display hardware (which is unaffected by prior user uptake). Because anyone arguing that would have to be ignorant of both subjects... but why would such an ignorant person be so invested in white knighting a hardware company? Oh well, doesn't matter - my opinion was already arbitrarily settled upon for completely irrational reasons.
> The fed is very much aware of the inflation, but is on the awkward position that were they to raise the rates even a tiny bit, it would bankrupt the federal government. Going from 0-1% to 4-5% interest rates

> just the interest on the money owed is at $hundreds-billions yearly. Now double or tripe that cost…

If you look at history of Treasury interest rates and Fed Funds rates, the relationship you imply where even that giant increase to the Fed Funds target would do that... doesn't exist.

The “rare” cases of vaccinated individuals infecting others are neither enumerated or fully understood. In fact, until this week the CDC seemed to downplay the idea that vaccinated individuals _could_ spread the virus. Now they seem to be so concerned about it that one of the banner benefits of being vaccinated - not having to wear a mask in public settings - has been rescinded.

At the same time employers now seemingly want to be on the hook for any communicable diseases spread on company property or function. People are being coerced into disclosing medical information or risk being treated like pariahs. It cannot be understated that people are being pressured into getting an unapproved (EUA is not approval) gene therapy (FDAs classification, not mine) that has never been widely tested in humans and has non-trivial side effects. This is unprecedented, at least in the US.

This is on top of being constantly mislead by media and government officials. NPR recently gave a stat, something to the effect of “young people under 40 make up half the positive COVID cases”. Sounds alarming, except that demographic makes up half the population _and_ that demographic had disproportionately mild symptoms from the disease.

If you want to be vaccinated, please go right ahead. But then stop. Allow others that you are not the guardian of to make their own health choices based on their personal research or decision making process.

Or regressive, depending on the nature and effect of the change.
Vaccinated people get in contact with the virus as much as the non vaccinated.

The virus invades the bodies and start multiplying in both populations.

The difference is that the vaccinated body is prepared to immediately attack the virus, something that takes weeks for the unvaccinated body to figure out.

So during the short interval when the vaccinated body hasn't yet wiped out the virus, the person is technically infected, will test positive, and can probably transmit some of the few viruses it has.

But that both vaccinated and unvaccinated can transmit the virus does NOT mean the danger levels are anywhere near similar!

This is probably why so many athletes get positive tests. If you get tested every day, you can get a positive test while a minor infection is defeated, even though you don't feel any symptoms.
