The problem is it’s not sustainable to build an org around grumbling. If problems are only getting discovered in serendipitous hallway encounters, then that means a lot of problems aren’t getting discovered at all.

Remote first may be painful in the short term. But in the long term it’s much healthier as it forces the org to rationalize structured lines of communication.
I assumed that “affordable” was an intrinsic property of a house in that it’s an objective number (cost) assigned to a property.

Again it’s awful that there is a housing shortage, but “market rate” seems to mean “charges more than what would be considered to be ‘affordable’”. I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure that “more than affordable” and “more affordable” aren’t the same thing.

Edit: I’m not really sure why I can’t respond to the child’s comment from this but I apologize. I thought we were talking about housing (eg a house one can afford vs a house that one cannot), not the minutiae of the English language. To clarify, I’m asking about housing that lower income people can move into vs other types of housing. I have zero interest in litigating “intrinsic vs extrinsic” on a topic as simple and self-obvious as “who gets to live in SF”
It's a choice though. You could just get vaccinated and not worry about getting fired.
Those are pretty small numbers in an absolute sense. Growth is all I would worry about.
Imagine many of those being given to those who can't drive the car safely, because driving is considered a right in many communities.
Elegantly put, thank you.
You can't opt out of the draft. If you work at FB/Google tell your manager the two magic words "I QUIT" and don't get the vaccine and go work somewhere that makes you happier.

AFAIK these companies are still at-will private employers and vaccination status is not a protected class. So they can fire anyone they want including all the anti-vaxxers, at any time they want, for whatever reason they want including vaccination status.
Deaths lag so the point is irrelevant.

You could just as easily argue it points in favor of vaccines.
Sounds a lot like the obesity epidemic to me. One that kills 1,794 people in the United States DAILY, year… over… fucking… year. Also completely preventable.

I'm learning tons of grammar and vocabulary through Duolingo. Are you not learning these things, or do you find them useless?

BTW the quality of the language programs differs vastly. Spanish, which I'm studying, is very fleshed out. Tried Arabic and it was anemic and even broken in parts.

This is where you lost the argument.
That is the dichotomy that is being criticized, yes.
It turns out that you might already be using software containing proven correct software without realizing it (Microsoft Azure, Linux kernel, Firefox, Wireguard, Fintech, ...)
Earthly itself looks pretty useful too: https://earthly.dev/
> Outside America, subcompact cars are still the norm unless you need the utility of something large for your immediate family/job.

Yes, and by that standard the Volt is a big car (not a subcompact), but still has small cargo space for a hatchback (2/3 of a Yaris, which is a subcompact.)

By American standards, its a fairly small car that has very small cargo space relative to its size, and so tiny cargo space compared to what the market expects. And also small compared to competing PHEVs, which to be fair generally also have small cargo space relative to size.
Duolingo story is fascinating. The guy created a software which then became Google Captcha.

Ahah I love the comments tread in the pouet page, with Exolon replying! Thanks for posting the link.
That very well could be balanced out somewhat by vaccinated people being less careful than non-vaccinated, and possibly by them being more likely to be asymptomatic (but still spreaders).
If you don't make any promises you can generally do whatever you want with whatever discretion as a generic website maker. They asked if they can specifically make wedding a service while having a religious belief that causes them to discriminate on basis of sexual orientation. They can't and we wouldn't be able to compel anyone with their beliefs to be in that business, but we don't have to adjust that business for people who hold their religious beliefs.
Why is this always the comment whenever any startup or IPO is discussed on this site? Every company at this stage loses money. It would be stupid to chase profits over user or revenue growth. They have 40 million monthly active users. Registrations grew 67% YoY. Their revenue doubled in a single quarter. Expenses are mostly stock comp. They have nearly $200M cash on hand. The numbers are all solid.
I was never informed of an age limit. It's not really a problem for me, since I bought the domain dirt cheap. Do you have a source for the 10 year limit?
And, what is your point? So you are saying would come to the workplace, knowingly not vaccinated, and feeling no problem at all?
Because I have to mind the license.

Let's say today it's just for personal use. I modify it to work the way I want it, then 2 months later I decide to provide its output on my Web site.

Now I have to publish the source code that includes modifications I've made. It's a burden in terms of both labor and time - I must perform this work against my will and for free because of GPL 3.0. I need to remove hard-coded parameters and arguments from scripts for security and privacy reasons, I need to create a repo and update it every time my code changes, etc. Why would I want to do that?

Another example would be if I ever decided to use that code as part of my application and decide to share my application (even with friends, for free), now I either have to rewrite or replace the GPL 3.0 component, or else I have no choice but to force everyone downstream to use GPL 3.0. Some can't, some won't - to these folks, my app would be completely useless.

If, on the other hand, I find a permissively licensed 3rd party program, library or script, I don't have to worry about it now or in the future, whether I run it on my own site, mix it with other code, or decide to share it with anyone.
I have some experience on this field. Around two years ago i was a DevOp for the company running Dagbladet, Norways #2 newspaper. One of the things I did was keep an eye on mysterious traffic.

I managed to find a huge spam network that set up a proxy service that delivered normal content, but injected "you can win an iPhone!" spam to all users visiting them.

Since I was in the position of being able to monitor their proxy traffic towards many sites I managed. I could easily document their behaviour.

In the same time, I wrote a crawler that visited their sites over a long, long time. I learned that they kept injecting hidden links to other sites in their network, so I did let my bot look at those also.

By this time, I also got a journalist with me that started to look at the money flow to try and find the organisation behind it.

My bot found in excess of 100K domains being used for this operation, targeting all of westeren Europe. All the 100K sites contained proxied content and was hidden behind Cloudflare, but thanks to the position I had, I managed to find their backend anyways.

We reported the sites to both CF and Google, and to my knowledge, not a single site were removed before the people behind it took it down.

Oh, and the journalist? He did find a Dutch company that was not happy to see neither him or the photographer :)

Some of it’s statistics were pretty interesting, like the huge amount of Arabic speaking people that wanted to learn Swedish.

Heard it for decades.

Fourteen years ago during his acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize, Al Gore said the polar ice "could" be gone in 5 years.

And such things have been said much longer before that.
Indeed, that is why when people think the only way to code these chips is Assembly and C, while we were already using multiple languages on the PCs, shows how there is some kind of misunderstanding of their capabilities.

Heck, compiled xBase applications were hardly a speed daemon, yet they were fast enough for what businesses needed of them.
The cost of office space in Bangalore is not high. Offshore developers are not some secret mystery that corporate managers have never heard from.

If the benefits outweighed the cost, companies would have already offshored well before the pandemic. It’s not like WFH changes that calculus. If a BigCo would rather pay a programmer in Bangalore over one in Boise, than they almost certainly would also prefer him to one in Mountain View too.
I think that maximum 16 characters is way too short. Perhaps 127 bytes might be a suitable maximum, although it should be more if possible. (This does not mean that you are required to enter a password of at least that length; it is only the maximum length, not the minimum length.)
It of course will come true because every natural disaster is attributable to climate change.
Why is it not possible to build more than 100 affordable units? Do “market rate” houses generate 800x the revenue? That’s an enormous chasm in profitability that should be addressed. I couldn’t imagine being forced to build a house wherein for every dollar I I recoup, my neighbor recoups eight hundred of them.
> 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 don't know what's the experience in the US, but in my home country everyone has a little booklet they carry with them since pretty much birth where we register not only when we took vaccines, such as measles or tetanus or hepatitis, but also when we should take the booster shots.

Oddly enough, the booklet looks a bit like a passport. Well, a passport is also a log, right?

So I'm kind of baffled why some people claim this is a radical turn of events.
I don’t think this is accurate. CPU and GPU are not trying to execute the same code with different performance characteristics. GPU and CPU are fundamentally doings different things. In fact the analogy for shared business logic works perfectly

having just returned from mexico for 2 wks i can say the pace of duolingo is waaaay to slow compared to conversation.
Can confirm this is not malware, Google has a huge spam problem, see my previous comments.
Totally right.

Absolutely all human medicine is experimental in the same way the person is using "experimental vaccine". Anything else would not be science.
The only question is usually how many experiments have been run and on who and what do we extrapolate from them.

But make no mistake - nothing could possibly be proven safe to a given person without having been tested on that person. You are unique. This is precisely why this is not the standard used for safety, and can't be.

Maybe some century we will have that capability, but it does not exist right now.

If you go buy an orange from the grocery store, that's experimental in the same way - i guarantee you it's mutated at least a little from the other oranges you've eaten. How can you be sure the mutations will not have a harmful effect?

(This isn't even a joke - mutation is quite common in citrus, and thing like the cara cara came from natural orange tree mutations)

As far as testing goes - in the history of vaccines that were deployed quickly (polio, smallpox, etc), the covid vaccines are very well tested.

The space of things we don't continuously test and track for safety is basically infinite, and the likelihood of harm coming from that infinite space of untested things is much greater (overall) than "a thing we've given to hundreds of millions of people and explicitly kept track of the side effects"

This is proven to be true again and again - eventually we notice the effect of things we weren't looking at, take some of them, test them, and say "well crap, actually, this is really harmful".

Meanwhile, outside of intentional fraud/malice, it's much more rare that the things we are testing and tracking continuously on large groups of people turn out that way. When they do, it's often because of long term effects you couldn't discover without time anyway.
What would be nice about that?

One has to believe at some point that liberty is worth a certain amount of risk.

>Do you believe that someone's refusal to comply with basic sanitary precautions should take precedence over my and my family and loved one's desire to not die of a preventable disease?

Did you and your family get vaccinated? What unvaccinated people do does not affect your risk profile in any meaningful way. Are your kids too young to get vaccinated? The last flu season pre covid killed more under 18s than COVID-19 has.

Do we need government mandated vaccinations and mask mandates for every flu season now?

>And where do you draw the line in that refusal to comply with basic health and safety precautions? Do you also extend it to other viral diseases that are preventable by vaccination such as measles, or do you single out covid?

Do you get asked if you've had a measles vaccine before you get seated at a restaurant? Are you suggesting this is a reasonable action?

You draw the line where there is a real serious threat which passes a certain threshold.

But with COVID-19 like so many things, the people speaking loudly about promoting their cause in protecting us from it (not the professionals) have absolutely no conditions for victory and will endlessly move goalposts forward and endlessly try to do more regardless if risks change by orders of magnitude.

If you're vaccinated or too young to be vaccinated, COVID-19 is over for you. The risk went from 1 in 1000 people dying to no worse than the risk in any flu season, unless that very mild risk makes you think that we should reinvent what personal freedoms in society means, stop turning and ending pandemic into a catastrophe.
I have too. Seems more specific and urgent now, yet the general inaction is very similar.

The people who matter are not acting. One can only conclude this does not actually bother them.

I'm not sure I follow your logic. Every high school in the United States (and the rest of the Western world) teaches the history of WWII, with undoubtedly millions of both Jewish and students with German heritage and I don't think they're pitted against one another in the end.

Further, "there are better ways we can go about talking about race and culture, and having respect for one another, without making it about the oppressed and the oppressor." - How so? Why do we need to teach students to have respect for one another if not for a long history, and complex present, of one group of people oppressing another? If there was no historical and current oppression, the entire conversation wouldn't be necessary in the first place.

I can't agree more. I made some progress on Japanese only to find that when I spoke it was completely incomprehensible to a native speaker. I think speech/pronunciation correction is still an unsolved problem.
Who are “them?” If by “them“ do you mean someone who has HIV, because simply not having sex with them would be fine, but only if you know it. What this legislation seeks to do is to remove criminal liability for someone who knowingly transmit HIV without telling their partner. If you have HIV and you don’t tell your partner, how are they able to make the decision not to have sex with you?

Edit: grammar

>Every company at this stage loses money

The company is ten years old. I would have to imagine almost zero companies lose money ten years in because they literally do not exist anymore.
Did you attend a university in the US? If so, you almost certainly disclosed your vaccination status to them when you attended.
In the golden age of comercial software you still could get the source, however it was part of the commercial version not the shareware/demoware one, or as additional option.

Naturally with a license that only allowed its use on the context of understanding the product, e.g. source code for the C and C++ libraries of a compiler for use in debugging sessions.

Corporations legal departments just found out a way to use non-copyleft licenses for the 2nd coming of shareware/demoware, while cutting down development costs in the process.

> But I do feel like there's a distinction between a urine test and a vaccine, since it's impossible to have a negative reaction to a piss test.

I feel this jab is disingenuous.

The goal of a drug test is to test whether you took recreational drugs. The goal of vaccination is to ensure the odds you contract and spread a disease is low to none.

What I find mind boggling is that the concept of a drug test is extremely intrusive, as it tracks whether you took a recreational drug sometime in the recent past, like in your personal time very far away from the company's offices and while not on the job. Why is that encroachment deemed acceptable and normal by antivaxers but the simple and extremely safe act of taking a vaccine is somehow a major problem?

Not as far as I can tell, but it seems to let you supply handlers to discharge effects at any point. That should at least allow you to 'embed' any effect type in a more general effect type (but the 'embedding' itself would be hardcoded, so not 'first class'... I think.).

For starters, not making children feel like they are oppressors or the oppressed. Teach civility, respect of each other, and respect for one another’s opinions and beliefs. Don’t start off by saying this side of the classroom are the oppressors because of their skin color, and this side of the classroom are the oppressed because of their skin color. Your skin color does not make you an oppressor or the oppressed, but CRT does.

Schools should be based on the scientific method teaching things that can be found to be objectively true or skills that can be objectively acquired. Anything that declares any science including itself subjective in nature, should not be taught. Simply because there is nothing to teach, the entire teaching would be, by definition, the subjective opinion of the teacher. Which raises the question, why did we choose these particular opinions to be taught and not others.
