I personally find it much harder to onboard new people. It was easier to notice when someone is lost/struggling when you could see more body language.

Mentoring in a pair/XP style feels a bit harder over Zoom but the tools are getting better.

Planning meetings (or any type of open discussions) are much more grating to me with the Zoom lag and cross talk.

Heads down, ticket based work has less distractions though.

Maybe I just suck but I feel much more adept at in person interactions than remote interactions and its not about appearances.
I think that's incorrect.

I am running job interviews and candidates ask to work remotely often, even from junior candidates that need at least 6-12 months of development to be truly useful to us. We teach valuable stuff, data engineering, we offer good salaries, they know they will get into a lucrative carrier with us, yet they think they can do all of this remotely. I have to tell them - it’s not realistic. It’s not realistic to learn complex concepts without meeting your more experienced colleagues at least 2-3 times per week. Online courses can only go so far, same with zoom calls and slack. Some candidates understand my point, some don’t, I am sorry for those who don’t. Of course there are people that are self-driven and can do all remotely, but in my experience if you need to develop you are much better off being in an office with people that can mentor you daily.

While I agree with you that focusing on profitability for valuation at this stage doesn't make much sense, I still don't understand how a 6.5 billion valuation is ever something they can live up to.

I think waiting for long-term effects to be clear is a defensible position.

What I don’t follow is that, AFAICT, full authorization is likely ~6 months from the date of filing (so November to January depending on manufacturer). So we won’t have long-term data.

The issue is that identity politics are a race to the bottom of purity politics. The amount of black you can be or whether you're LGBTQ+ enough is a spectrum that lends itself to eating your own young. Conversely, all of us are workers. We are united in the blood and sweat we offer to the increasingly well-to-do.

Consuming ourselves in intra-labor factionalism while the wealthy elites feed anti-union propaganda does everything to reduce our bargaining power and our feeling of love and respect for our fellow human beings. Because at the end of the day it's not how much melanin you have in your skin or how female you feel or what terms you're using at your workplace, it's your humanity and your labor that unites us.

Buddhism, which I often reference, makes much to do over the uselessness and continued suffering we bind ourselves to by the reification of concepts. We need to stop reifying those ideas which divide us and find the common in which to celebrate our closeness.

There is a stark difference between lifting up and listening to women (which I am strongly for) because they are our fellow human beings in labor not because their state of being will never be understood by their male counterparts, which is often the refrain of the new far left.

Class politics not identity politics.

I mean, the concept of cutting and splicing tape came from the human brain. The first people to actually cut and edit film wouldn't have used the technique if the results produced something that was unsettling to watch.

When you really think about it, the concept of cuts must be something natural to our brains. People with a brand new technology, with no previous frame of reference seemingly gravitated towards this technique of representing changes. It makes sense it would be something our brains would find natural rather than unnatural.

Most things humans make we try to make in a way we find most comfortable. It's what the whole field of ergonomics is about. Mental ergonomics is just as important as physical ergonomics.

Kind of like that way early computer UI's are considered superior in regards to accessibility. There wasn't much prior to go on, they just made what felt natural and didn't make things unsettling.

There's many people that still praise early filmmaking even above modern effects filled blockbusters.

There's something to be said for the natural human instinct to make things comfortable and not unsettling.

I wouldn't call it "pretty useless". I think it has two distinct places in a language learning process.

1) They make learning a new language very accessible and fun to get started. Books and courses do not have such a low level of entry.
2) It's good for learning new words in a context. Memrise for example often just gives you a single word and translation. But I think it's much more effective to then put words into sentences.

That said, if you really want to learn a language past the "I can manage for a few days as a tourist" you need to add other methods to it. Read books, listen to audio content, watch TV, have lessons (speak the language!), study grammar etc.

Then not everybody is alike. So try different methods. See what works for you. Some might have more success with Duolingo, some will have less.
Based on their IPO filing I would say their biggest asset is the number of users. Other than that their model still results in a net loss every year so if you are looking at it from a value investing standpoint I think it’s overvalued at least 5x.

I'm working remote (on and off) since 2012, mostly in the same timezone. I never felt the danger of being replaced by someone in a cheaper country.

Perhaps the problem with offshoring is not just the fact that the people are working remote. What about (very) different timezones, different working culture, different culture of communication etc.?
I do agree cheaper unprocessed food is a net gain. However consider this:

For Duolingo, you might mix it with other materials for a much better experience. I told our kids' experience learning foreign languages here [1]. My wife used the same technique to learn some French, Duolingo reinforced with audio and visual materials, songs with lyrics, regular learning books, podcasts etc.

Duolingo is used daily in our house and we're paying for not seeing ads.

Do you pay the stamp duty tax once when you buy the home. Or do you pay it annually?

If you pay it once when you buy the home, there is something similar, called a transfer tax. This is set by the local government(city or county). I think most places don't have a transfer tax.

If it's an annual tax then it's property tax. This is specific to the State/County/City/Neighborhood.
You need a tool like Ahrefs or SEMRush for competitor analysis and keyword research. One trick with Ahrefs if you want to be frugal is to pay for the $7 trial and use it as much as possible during the trial to do your keyword research and cancel. Technically if you are efficient enough that trial could get you months worth of content at least.

Ruby runs on C, I guess if C gains in performance then Ruby (and Python, and JS(?) and PHP) all become faster as well. I know it's not a perfect analogy to Erlang/Elixir but there is a strong connection between C performance/memory management and Ruby. For instance the whole malloc/jemalloc memory issue which affects Ruby/Python/Node(?) apps. It could be that these dynamic languages misuse C or something and it's really not C's "fault", I'm not sure, it's above my pay grade :)

Your "probably" means you've refused to look at the relevant experimental evidence?

"proportional to mv²" also means "proportional to 1/2 mv²" and "proportional to 123.45 mv²".

Assuming your gravitational and inertial masses are supposed to be the same, then 1/2 m v² is, by Noether's theorem, a consequence of conservation of energy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether%27s_theorem#Example_1:... .
> It’s not realistic to learn complex concepts without meeting your more experienced colleagues [...]

Eh, dunno.

A) It's not the complex concepts that benefit from physical proximity to other members of our species, in my experience; it's the subtleties, the little tricks, hacks, and bits of hidden knowledge that are really amenable to someone shuffling over to your desk, grabbing your keyboard, and going "here look at this weird way of doing it" in 20 seconds of physical interaction. Junior people can learn complex things remotely, but maybe physical proximity can give them those little details better. Which leads me to

> [...] at least 2-3 times per week.

B) So let'em come in twice a week and work from home the other 3. What's the problem? One of my siblings hires junior people at their firm and this is the way they've been operating since before the pandemic. The kids get trained up real nice and are happier in their work not having to commute 3x/wk.
>The problem is that language learning is inherently about putting your brain in tricky, slightly painful situations.

I think that's a really good description of learning in general.
Part of my point is that the argument really isn't about what is natural or not. It isn't important, and that's why it's a cop out. Humans are clearly part of nature, evolving via the same processes as everything else.

What is clear is that humans have continually, and at increasing rates, broken out of the precedence set by everything before in terms of fitting into the existing balance and that this reverberates throughout the world in a way that is on the whole not good for nearly any ecosystem. This is what is argued by people bringing attention to these matters. What doesn't matter is whether this is "natural" or not. What matters is that this is bad for basically everything else, and we've already experienced and we're seeing more signs that it's bad for us as well.

Our propensity for violence and technological development has allowed us to flourish and break out of evolutionary development and "cheat" on regarding what resources are available to us. Other animals are usually checked by nature when resource use becomes problematic. Humans are checked but then adapt new ways to consume resources due to technology and our physical adaptability.

I actually didn't make the point that our ability to reason is the key. Other animals potentially match or even exceed (it is unknown) our ability to reason. Such animals are whales, particularly orcas. So I think our reasoning ability is not actually unique. What is unique is our reasoning mixed with physical attributes that make technology development possible and a selfishness and propensity for violence. This leads to technological development that vastly outpaces social and emotional development, which has led to our ad-hoc world and the mess we're in.

> What I disagree with is that change to an ecosystem is "destruction." It changes what flora and fauna that ecosystem supports, and we may very well change the ecosystem we live in such that it no longer supports human beings. However, if we do that, the world will continue on without us and the ecosystem will continue to change as new flora and fauna evolve to fill the gaps that humans created.

When it comes to human induced change, that change is indeed almost always destructive in that existing flora and fauna are reduced in bother numbers and diversity.

I highly, highly doubt humans are ever eradicated save for Earth-level events (asteroid or something like that). I also think "Earth will continue without us" is another cop out. Yes, it would, but not with out destruction and suffering.

Thanks for your response. Sorry to hear about your GF's experience. "Sectioned"... .. . Mental Health Act -> you're in the U.K.?

> she'll be taking the mood-stabiliser until she dies

"Mood stabiliser" is a marketing term. My friend was on a "mood stabiliser" until the 2nd to last time she escaped. She didn't have those pills with her when she hopped the fence, so she couldn't take them when she was in hiding at my place. She was perfectly "stable" without the drug, so they dropped it from her treatment program at the next visit & she felt better.

> But the anti-psychotic is troublesome. [...]

Whitaker points out that psychotic patients who do the best are those who are never put on anti-psychotics. Those who do second-best are those who are taken off the anti-psychotic promptly. Those who do the worst are those who are "maintained" on anti-psychotics indefinitely.

Random link to Whitaker's organization: https://www.madinamerica.com/2017/05/psychiatry-defends-its-...

>> But the doctors kept her on tranquilizers anyways.

> That sounds wrong to me.

I refer to anti-psychotics as tranquilizers, because Robert Whitaker points out that the drugs that got re-labeled as the first generation anti-psychotics were originally used as tranquilizers. Maybe this doesn't accurately reflect how today's patients are told about the medicines they're given, but it's better for being dismissive of their inappropriate use.

> I hope the shrink weans her off the anti-psychotic soon; I don't think she needs it.

You're almost certain to have help with this: look for a psychiatrist for a second opinion, someone with experience with tapering patients off psychiatric medications. Let the guy know that you're advocating for your GF, and are prepared to complain to licensing boards/etc...

I may have been overly-aggressive in my personal efforts. No one cared, but I don't know that a softer, gentler approach might've been more effective.

Yes you cannot go through a normal court. The US uses a vaccination compensation fund. If someone is harmed by vaccines, they can make a claim with evidence in a special court and the court will determine the compensation. Each dose sold has a 25 cent surcharge to fund these claims. For Covid I think they will do it differently since the government is paying directly.

That’s certainly going to be true for some people. But my express goal in this thread is to hear a good faith “full authorization argument” from someone who honestly argues for it. I believe arguments exist that I haven’t considered.
This proves the OP's point. Duolingo is trash if you aspire to fluency. It's only useful in fluency as an additive to a robust training program. You don't get fluent by following Duolingo alone.
Pet theory (disclaimer that I know very little about SEO) would be that the website with the cloned content loads fast and does not load 4 MiB of javascript, thus beating the original content in ranking mostly because of the speed, which is I believe a important factor in Google rankings (and getting more important).

And add to that the some link spam and preventing the visitors to return not get any bounce back...

Either way, I can't help to be a bit impressed by the SEO spammers outsmarting the people at Google. (Edit: and I don't mean to say they are smarter or anything, just that they only need to find one weakness in the algorithm while the people working to improve it needs to make it works for everything.)
Just want to add to my comment also that it is not limited to havfruen4220.dk, but clarifies a general pattern. I tried a couple of search terms like 'mattilbud rema 1000' and found more .dk domains on the second page (nem-varmepumper.dk, humanrebels.dk) - two things that have nothing to do with food.
The EU limits “recovery certificate” to 6 months (after infection, as proven by PCR teat) vs possibly longer validity of vaccination. So the US is not the only “science denying” country.

Most EU countries (that I checked - Austria is an exception) don’t even recognise the presence of antibodies as proof of past infection.
Fingers crossed for you, but I think it's one of those things where the people who think that way are overwhelmingly unlikely to be interested in arguing about it on the Internet. I know I would have bounced right out of this comments section if I were even slightly less extreme in my pro-vaccine views.
All sales of beef on the bone was banned too. Even Bovril had to change their recipe for a few years.

The ban was introduced on December 16, 1997, after government advisers reported small risks that small nerve endings near beef bones and bone marrow might be infective. The ban included cuts such rib roasts and oxtail, as well as soups and stock cubes made in Britain from beef bones.

The ban was lifted Tue 29 Nov 1999, but other bans on using as food more risky parts of cattle - brain, eyes, tonsils, spinal cord, spleen and intestines - remained in force, as did ban on use of bones in manufactured food and cattle more than 30 months old are banned from the food chain.

Things have been eased further since 1999 but I'm not sure we can get brain on the menu in the UK...
