Ok I'll elaborate.

I really really miss git, version control systems, pull requests, automated ci checks etc.

Imagine a world without git and version control systems. Then apply that to NoCode.

Who changed which line. When did it happen. These things are normal with code/git. But not with NoCode/bubble (yet Jul2021).

Which file is the master. Which change to merge.

And then throw 30 software engineers at the project. Chaos will happen.

The comment was less about architecture and more about version control and merging which is still early days in the world of bubble compared to software engineering
Someone needed to go first to try and get a leg up on the competition in terms of productivity or whatever KPI the company is tracking, and it seems Google is first Big Tech Co to go. It will be interesting to see just how exactly this all will play out considering some in the workforce are vaccine hesitant. I wonder if, besides proof of vaccination, health checks will be required to enter the campus, or if masks will need to be worn at all times indoors, or if social distancing will still need to be observed.
Thalidomide isn't a vaccine.
Demonstrative example in practice of re-introduction of predators is the wolves in Yellowstone[0][1]. There are also studies which say that this instead destabilizes the ecosystem[2]. For what it's worth, I think more data from investigation is needed in more diverse ecosystems and including different scopes of time.

I think that happens every time you catch a cold.
Huh, that's not a vaccine and where's the evidence it had unexpected effects 10 years after administration?
No, sulfur release is not a core part of steel production, and indeed sulphur emmision has been drastically reduced since regulations made steel producers bear the cost of sulphur emmissions, removing it as an externality.

Labs don't continuously spew out diseases, but they very much must impose the risk of such releases upon others. That is the cost. It costs money to insure against risk, even if the disaster never comes to pass. If a biotech company reduces its costs by implementing looser safety policies thus increasing risk to the surrounding population, that cost is borne externally. Hence the name.
Not a vaccine.
They have been given to half the adults in the country. I think we have a pretty good idea about the adverse affects at this point. Full FDA approval is a formality at this point.
Could you give a brief overview of your current understanding? I'm curious as to why /60 would be too limited, and how it's different from IPv4.
Do they actually reduce spread or do they instead just make people who catch it more likely to avoid hospitalization and increase their survival chances? If it is the first I can see why they do it, if it is the second then I do not see the point of enforcing it.

Although I wonder if they will consider workers who passed covid before (and thus have antibodies) as "vaccinated".

This might act like an employee filter as well, so maybe it's a win-win from Google's perspective. There's a very high correlation between anti-vaxxers and those who buy into The Big Lie. As a society, we don't need to humor or cater to these people.

Google is an at-will employer, which means that employee or employer can terminate the arrangement at any time. Employees who like the gravy train and feel entitled to the perks can choose to keep them, or they can go somewhere else.
Yeah, and on the demand side, I have a hunch that a company that implicitly or explicitly uses their lack of a vaccine requirement as a recruiting pitch would have a hard time recruiting a large subset of engineers.
Ok but you have to start civil proceedings to do so.
I considered such options before but if I remember correctly, the webhost does not allow SSH. However, I haven't checked for some time and I will definitely look into this, thank you!
This was a concern during vaccine development and testing but it didn’t turn out to be an issue.

So I’m not sure what you are talking about.

The idea that Nurse Practitioners and Social Workers "do almost everything that psychiatrists do but (for historical reasons) charge lower rates" doesn't feel like a fair characterization. I have worked with many excellent NPs and Social Workers, and have a tremendous regard for their work, but the level of training is - objectively - much different.

I feel this. One of the big things I’ve learned over the past 5 years is that an organization must be ripe to use software developers productively; many organizations seem to hire developers but keep them under bad management. You can’t develop yourself out of a bad environment.

My advice - roll the dice again, with a bit more wisdom this time. Eventually you might see some patterns allowing you to select better employers.

Personally, I have a better time in smaller businesses with fewer management layers.

They are fully tested with continued scrutiny. They have been given emergency approval and granted priority review. There is quantifiable fact and evidence that these vaccines are very effective and safe. Both of the mRNA vaccines are scheduled for full approval in Jan/Feb of 2022.

Some vaccines take years or even decades to show harm. See Air Force pilots and Anthrax vaccine history. Rare but devastating consequences.

Wow, I love both of these comments. I've been on the receiving end of downvotes after making helpful comments reflecting strongly-held opinions, that are the result of years of battle-testing them, and even building free software to put them into practice. Silent downvotes are maddening, and I often edit my comments to invite people to just disagree and give me their strongest arguments as to why they think my comment is bad / shouldn't have been posted / etc. I prefer they focus on substance, and I would welcome great counterpoints that I haven't thought of.

But it's worse than that. Every time I link to the actual solution that I spent years and hundreds of thousands of dollars building, rather than just talk about it, I get silent downvotes. Watch, I will do it here:

This is a bad faith argument. Nowhere did I say, or even imply, you cannot earn a living. You can choose to work for someone who will not require it, such as a company who is remote-first, if this is a problem for you.
> How is not wanting to be vaccinated is idiot ?

Not wanting to do lots of things that contribute to public health or workplace safety that have a small personal cost/risk, and small expected personal benefit is fairly normal.

Refusing to do them, OTOH, is different than not wanting to do them.
It's a good question and definitions vary. My working, broadest definition is "That which exists / that which occurs if humans do not use their intellect and ability to cause something else to exist / happen."

Starvation is natural. Death by predator is natural. Death due to exposure is natural. Death due to disease is natural. Tornadoes are natural. A biosphere-disrupting asteroid impact is natural. There are other things that are natural that are positives too, but it's good, I think, to keep in mind that "natural" doesn't always imply "good."
Thalidomide was a terrible medical scandal, but it's not a vaccine. Secondly it didn't cause something unexpected 10 years from injection, it had a side-effect if you were pregnant while taking it.
I get those in bed from time to time and my course of action is to keep the leg strait during the onset, get out of bed and stand up stretching the leg muscle. The pain can be very intense but once I stand up and apply pressure by standing on the leg, it almost immediately stops the cramp and the pain subsides within a few seconds.

I used to let the leg contract and curl up powering through the cramp pain until it subsided but a few times it lasted over a minute which is agonizing.
Radiation, asbestos, lead paint and a bunch of others would like a word.
No, it shouldn't. If not enough people are vaccinated, then no herd immunity can develop, the disease becomes long-term endemic and new mutations arise every year.

If people had refused vaccinations against Polio in this way, we'd still have people living in iron lungs.

Interesting to note that unleaded gas also has lead about 0.05g per gallon which is a lot when you consider how much gas is burned in a typical big city everyday. Aviation gas has 2 grams per gallon, so if you live near an airport you're probably getting a pretty steady diet of lead.
The people resistant to taking them are concerned with potential “long term”effects so by definition argue that it wouldn’t be known by now.
This article is from September 2020 and includes the following passage:

> Should it occur, ERD caused by human vaccines will first be observed in larger phase II and/or phase III efficacy trials that have sufficient infection events for statistical comparisons between the immunized and placebo control study arms.

All evidence in both the human trials and data from the general public being vaccinated has shown the that vaccines (at least the mainstream western ones) greatly lower both the incidence and the severity of COVID-19. That is, ADE is not a problem here.

You simply cannot be certain there are no long term side effects until "long term" (at least a few years) has passed. For the vaccine holdouts, some may be more easily pursuaded next year or the year after, assuming COVID is still a problem then. Historically, flu pandemics naturally burn out after a year or two.
Speed limits and building codes generally don't have side effects that can kill you.

A bunch of otherwise healthy people have died from the vaccine. You can argue that it's a numbers game, and that getting vaccinated is still less risky, but the decision should not be forced on anyone.
> you'd have to ask people about their medical conditions

Not necessarily. You would have the employee represent and warrant to it. If they lie and it causes a problem down the road, they’re clearly liable, that’s fraudulent misrepresentation and the company is in the clear.
"Preventable causes" are very different form "preventable illnesses". Avoiding a heart attack requires decades of actions and decisions. Avoiding polio requires one shot once.

In the developed world, not many people die from diseases that are preventable by vaccine. Well, until now.
It depends on the breed/sort, resulting in different proportions of the active components. Also the age, and resulting decay of these into other stuff. It all varies and is much more complex than a simple percentage of 10% THC, 5% CBD, and so on. That can be a vague guide, but not more. The non-sense marketing naming of strains doesn't help there, either.

>It's very surprising to me how much support there is in general for outsourcing extremely important, previously personal medical decisions to employers.

I agree, I believe we should have universal government-provided healthcare for all citizens. Employers have far too much control over healthcare in the USA.
Yes, it is bad behaviour, but yes, they're absolutely doing it anyway.

I wouldn't necessarily describe this as malicious, merely impatient (perhaps too generous) - they've been doing controlled origin trials and similar for web bluetooth for example since 2015, but the other browsers haven't engaged.

I do think if Firefox/Safari had serious counter-proposals today that would work for everybody and limit the standards to mitigate the concerns, the Chrome team would happily compromise in return for wider compatibility.
A lot of questions, and none of them asked why one should be able to spread a deadly disease to their coworkers without consequence from their employer.

The unvaccinated are also continuing to mutate this disease, which increases the possibility of it turning deadly even for those that are vaccinated.

Lastly, everyone retains autonomy: The employee is free to work for an employer that does not require vaccination, and the employer is free to require it from their employees.
You make a compelling argument except for ignoring the fact that many licences (in particular patent licences) work on percentages of sales or revenue. So it seems not to be a problem in those cases, why is it for software?
It still is personal preference.

Choose to be vaccinated, or choose to stay off campus, so you're not in close proximity to other people for extended periods of time.

I don't make the parent comment claim that "not wanting to be vaccinated is idiotic." It does seem uninformed, unless there's a very clear reason to support that point of view. While the law supports religious exemptions, I'm less sympathetic. And science really seems like it supports vaccinations, not only for personal protection and quality of life, but very importantly, for helping to prevent the continued transmission and mutation of a virus that has taken over 4 million lives.

1) That's not really a convincing response. There were only two viral vector vaccines ever approved for human use before 2020, both for ebola I believe, and therefore probably not widely administered. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_vector_vaccine

I think you've got an overly rosy view of pre-1960's history. Post WWI saw all three of those powers continue their colonialist land grabs, and post WWII saw all three commit many atrocities in the effort to check Russian advances.

Both the Japanese and Korean antidemocratic moves took place in that pre 1960 era for example.

exactly, we're operating a fleet of SMTP servers and IPv4 procurement is big problem. We do by asking AWS to allocate a block and send email traffic via those IPs. We want to adopt IPv6 but the current email infrastructure doesn't support this.
Per ARIN (and pretty much all regional RIR) rules you're not allowed to purchase IPV4 space without proving the need for it, with a moderately thorough review process (https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/nrpm//#8-5-specified...)

Any other purchase reason is likely to result in ARIN pulling your "ownership" entirely when they discover it.

From what I understand most of what's being sold off right now on ipv4 auctions are from companies who had too much IPV4 that they no longer need, or companies that were liquidated.

I've always thought an evolution on the threaded messageboard system where

1) Votes are tied to comments inherently

2) People can argue with those comments

3) Eventually, when a consensus may be reached in the follow up comments (by having most objections to an argument downvoted to oblivion I guess)

4) If so, the thread is replaced with a stub that summarizes it (maybe participants can vote on the person who they'd like to summarize the thread)

5) People can go on to argue with that stub

Might be neat. The intent would be to create a system that is more directly acrimonious, with the hope that we could eventually actually snip off tangents and create a high-quality argument on a topic as a community. I don't know if it actually is possible to do enough cat-herding, such that an actual high quality argument is produced, but it would be an interesting experiment.

There are lots of details that would have to be sorted out, for example it would probably be necessary to group posts as "jointly in support of argument(X).point(Y)" in a way that makes it possible to respond to them jointly with a single counterargument, while still keeping the system from devolving into two sides with horns intractably locked.
A very interesting take which I think shows an education and culture background.

My belief is completely the opposite: Vaccination should NOT be a personal preference: A vaccinated population is a social good. People NOT being vaccinated (against polio, mumps, covid or even influenza) puts the population at risk. If providing the vaccine is cheaper for the government than the having certain amount of population sick, then vaccination should be enforced.

But then again, I live in a country that has a more socialist approach to governance, and I also was educated more towards this ideology.
Holy cow that looks paradisiac compared most major US cities.
Me too. Compared to all the other subsidies agriculture receives worldwide this would probably be pretty small.

One problem with cattle is that they are being held in one place, can’t escape which makes them easy and reliable prey . So once a predator has figured that out they will come back more often. I have read about people having good success with dogs that are trained to confront predators like mountain lions and bears so they won’t come back.

Carlos Ghosn is an interesting character, and maybe not the best person, but some of the things he said to Nissan's board at the time about EVs were prophetic. He did give Nissan a leg up versus other Japanese brands. It is interesting to wonder if his original plan for Nissan America might have been the best call and Americans would have a very different view of Nissan had it happened. (Nissan America makes entirely different cars from every other division of the company. Ghosn's plan at one point was to rebrand the gas guzzler-focused Nissan America as [back to] Datsun, reintroduce Nissan in America as an EV brand and plan to eventually jettison New Datsun as soon as its profits dropped below a threshold that the board would allow it.)

It's unfair to blame all Japanese car makers, but it is definitely fair to blame all American brands of Japanese car makers (as the weird, highly profitable step-children that they are).
