> Did the walkouts at Google change anything?

I was a "TVC" at Google several times. One of those times was during the walkout period. Even though I had no way of finding out about it until a lucky "right now in 3 minutes" time period, I participated.

Whilst the walkouts may not have changed much on corporate or the outsourced "side-corporates" [the contract companies], it did change myself.

For decades I've heard of strikes, read about walkouts ... stuff in history books ... documentaries on the History Channel back when the History Channel was the History Channel ...

Seeing it live, participating in it live and in person -- added new color to the understanding. The live speakers, the live news cameramen right there, the whole deal.

Once you understand that most HN downvotes are from Marxists, it doesn't bother you. It just confirms that you're right.
It's one of those cases where it's required by law, but the law is never enforced.

I have applied for visa in multiple countries, attended public schools as well as university, and even had employment contracts specifying current vaccination.

I have never had to actually present any of that information. I'm not even sure how I could find it.
I respect more the position of an individual saying he doesn't want to get the vaccine because of his personal convictions than because his religions tells him so (although, to be clear, I think both are stupid positions).

Hopefully Google will only allow exemptions based on health issues.
The association is more San Francisco and gay people, not housing thoughts and gay people. SF has long been a haven for LGBTQ people that are threatened and unwelcome where they grew up. Can't be yourself without death threats, beatings, or general ostracization in your home town? Move to SF and find your community. And if you're family has rejected you, find yourself new family in SF.

Of course, when SF has decided that only the wealthiest should be let in, that changes things.

As for Preston, he is a bully, ignorant, and only sometimes has progressive positions, but always wraps himself in the flag of supposedly progressive language. SF would be far better off with somebody more welcoming, but he's so good at woke-washing the desires of wealthy residents of SF that I don't think he'll lose his seat.
dadgum is a treasure of insight. I think I’ve read every blog post on the site (and was sad when he stopped posting). I highly recommend you read the article, he’s talking about software development and the types of headaches you’ll find at just about every level of the stack.
Vaccination doesn’t mean you cannot be infected, and cannot spread it once infected. It lowers the chances of infection and presentation of symptoms.

So when your unvaccinated coworker exercises his selfish right to be stupid, you’re putting others at risk. The difference here is that your exposing your coworkers children and others who cannot be vaccinated to infection.

We socially tolerate people like this who choose to infect an entire office or daycare with rhinovirus, flu or the cold, because the impact is generally lower. COVID is different, and frankly, people don’t want to be around unvaccinated people just as they avoid people who display bad judgement in other ways.

I have nearly died twice in my life as a physical reaction to a vaccination and am being advised by my physician not to take these yet.

I am now in the position of choosing between a Google-sized salary and whatever risks are associated with these vaccines. This isn't a decision being made lightly.

Agreed. I often see this kind of work from some developers and I always have to send it back. People who think the best way to fix a minor bug is to rewrite the whole system or to stick on a second system that duplicates loads of logic.

Sure, if the task is to rip the system to shreds and improve it, go ahead. But often I look in to it and see the problem can be solved by fixing a single line that was wrong.

Isn't it simpler than that? Fewer employees taking unnecessary extended sick leave, which endangers deadlines and complicates project planning.

Not my company. At my company, I have to be back in an office and vaccinated.

At my company it's 100% a political signaling move.

Also New York State stopped recognizing religious & medical exemptions for vaccinations for school attendance over a decade ago. Companies based out of here are basing their decisions around this policy.

Many employers do try to incentivize this - https://www.shrm.org/ResourcesAndTools/hr-topics/benefits/Do... - but making things mandatory is likely not worth the impact on recruiting/retention outside of a global pandemic.
And your point is? No one is strapping down Google employees to a chair to inject them with a vaccine.

They are free not to take it if they chose to do so, and accept the consequences of their actions like any adult would.
I don't buy it, even if there was 90% vaccination, which I think we can get to, people want to see obedience. This is as much about calling out heretics as it is about health, especially at companies like google. If broad vaccination was the goal like for other apolitical diseases, there are lots of measures google could support to get us there that don't involve invasive tracking of health information. Let's try to increase vaccine uptake if that's really the goal.
What about the vaccinated spreading the disease?

I have a Volt and it's awesome. It's a hatchback with lots of cargo space (5 seats in the Gen 2 Volt, too). Don't know that you mean about "limited utility." The Volt powertrain would've worked fine in a crossover vehicle like the Rav4 with only a small scale-up.
Twitter probably couldn't scale because of bad engineering, not because of RoR. For example, Shopify embraces the Ruby ecosystem and it scales up very well.
Lower socioeconomic communities have poorer access to vaccinations

Early on, maybe. Not now.

Find the poorest zip code in Alabama, 35203, which is in Birmingham. Look it up in Vaccines.gov. Nearest vaccination locations:

Publix Supermarket, 0.79 miles, in stock.

UAB Hospital, 1.03 miles, in stock.

Walgreens, 1.62 miles. CVS, 1.65 and 1.74 miles.

Legion Field vaccination clinic, 1.99 miles.

There are a dozen more within 5 miles.

That's a populated area. If you look for Cotopia, AL, a small remote town in the poorest county in Alabama, where the post office closed in 1986, it's not quite as easy. You have to go 9 miles, to the nearest WalMart (#10-0731).

If you can make it to a WalMart, a CVS, or a Walgreens, you can get vaccinated.

How do you know which computer you need to buy to lower your energy consumption, if there's no transparency around which ones use lower energy? The point of regulations like this is to make this clear, and to force companies to compete on features they'd otherwise not care about.

Is this really pushing the envelope though? Routine drug testing by employers, for example, has been considered totally acceptable by society for decades now. I'd consider a one-time proof of vaccination against a deadly pandemic to be far less intrusive than that.

Many would blame Activision. And not a few would say that Blizzard sold out. To me they seem to be mostly milking the cash cow, and they’re hardly alone in doing it.

I'm not belittling the discussion that our society must have about what can or can't be mandated by an employer. However, I doubt the above quote was created in the context of high paying tech jobs, they were focused on the forced experimentation that occurred in WW2.
But the "news agency" also provides value. If you have a bunch of journalists working together (i.e., "a newspaper"), then those journalists are freer to take long term risks (e.g. work on big investigative stories). At better newspapers journalists don't need to churn out junk every day; they don't have to worry about doing all of their own marketing, sales and editing; they get to use their colleagues and their colleagues' networks/resources/sources to improve their stories and their reporting. I think substack ("patreon for good journalism") has a good model, but we shouldn't ignore that it has both advantages and disadvantages compared to most news orgs.

Ok, if that's what you want to believe then I can't change your mind. 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 just because they have a lot of patents and they maximize profits. I hope it is clear that I think this is not a valid argument. Also, I'd encourage you to live up to the spirit of HN and try to provide evidence instead of being rude to people who challenge your claims.
> So they'll form a rosy memory of the incident, and not learn the value of coming earlier – precisely what we want.

OMG this is sooo true, my first company does not have any product manager or project manager. My boss who is one of the management always try to "impress" other management by saying yes to some stuff that they challenge him:
"can you do it?",
then he would say "yes it will be finished in 2-3 days",
and then he would come to me and say "we need to impress them", again and again until i'm sick of it because we just went away from our sprint and planned projects.

Stupidly, I just did it again and again. Luckily I quit before I hated him, but then my teammates are still there.

That's the point, they aren't. You need developers to execute but with today's triple A franchise titles and marketing-heavy launches it's not sufficient.

Using Clojure to Solve the NPR Sunday Puzzle
There are several reasons for this being in the Nuremberg Code.

- Nazis conducted horrific medical experiments on Jewish prisoners (who were mostly German citizens as well!). In fact, pretty much everything we know about hypothermia came from the Nazis freezing and attempting to revive prisoners.

- Nazis often used promises of medical treatment to ensure compliance. The famous "showers" were one such example. Prisoners were then sent into a room -- complete with showerheads, soap, and even puddles! -- to be gassed.

- Nazi propagandists created documentaries showing Jewish, Romani, and other "undesirable" communities as "disease-ridden". It is easier to convince normal people to betray "undesirables" when "normal people" believe they are protecting both their own health, as well as the health of their communities.

> these sorts of policies actually disincentivize people to get vaccinated

Can you explain your logic?
A major global publication has written an article about it. Spotlight is shone on Activision Blizzard's culture.

We have seen that the only way to get any sort of customer support out of big tech companies is making noise on social media. And it works when enough noise is made. This is the next level of that: making noise in publications with global reach. The management will be wise not to ignore it.
I've seen the same here in Germany but they do appear only if you use the results within the last 24h functionality.
It looks like the German content is generated through GPT2 or 3. It makes no real sense if you read it.
If you go on the page you are immediately redirected to a scam just like the article mentions.
Interestingly they use ".it" domains here. It also looks like the domains might have been hacked or are expired domains that have been bought.

For example if you check havfruen4220.dk on archive.org you can see that it appears to have been a legitimate business website before. https://web.archive.org/web/20181126203158/https://havfruen4...

How do they rank so well?

I've checked the domain on ahref and it has almost no backlinks. But if you look closely you will see that all the results that rank very well have been added very recently.
On the screenshots in the article you can see things like "for 2 timer siden" which means 2 hours ago.
It looks like google is ranking pages that have a very recent publishing date higher.

This is the only correct answer there can be to this thread.

Call them tomorrow. Do not wait for them to figure it out. There is no possible upside to waiting, only a slightly increased risk of a bad outcome. Tell them what's going on, and be clear that you have no intentions of trying to keep it and are happy to return any undue monies.
The "slow editor/loading times" and "giant bundles" is just technical, so should be "easy" to fix!

The hard bit I think is the "spaghetti no-code" problem that I've seen in nearly all visual-type programing environments. Just because it's no code, all of the logic still needs to exist somewhere. When we code we can break it apart in many ways, and how you break things apart and abstract things depends on the system.

But no-code tools are fixed, and you only have one way to divide up the logic. In Bubble's case, it means there's a "design" section with UI and data-binding, and a "workflow" section with all of the actions that happen: UI interactions and business logic are smooshed in together. You end up with thousands of boxes indicating actions, in a giant list. You can kind of group them, and you can colourize them - but everything is held together by convention. A single logical flow can require many UI elements, and tracking that logical flow through the various unrelated boxes is... spaghetti!

In Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs it says "Every powerful language has three mechanisms for [combining simple ideas to form more complex ideas]:
* primitive expressions, which represent the simplest entities the language is concerned with,
* means of combination, by which compound elements are built from simpler ones, and
* means of abstraction, by which compound elements can be named and manipulated as units."

Most of the no-code tools seem to miss (or have a too simple version of) the final mechanism: "means of abstraction". So the entire system is built of combinations, that are poorly tied together.

Make sure you do this away from people so they don’t think you are crazy :-) The trick is to be two people. Yourself asking the questions and yourself answering them as honestly as possible.
