No, but really. For instance, in germany there are super strict policies regrding privacy on your workplace - i.e your employer cannot spy/monitor your activities under veil of security or productivity. That said, if you are a systematic slacker the employer may use some of that said spying to prove that you are slacker in exceptional (and well founded) cases and court will accept that evidence.

Seems like a working system for me. Employers still are not allowed to spy, slackers still can get punished, no apocalypse, no slippery slopes.
That's also true, and that's the problem that has yet to be solved IMO. How do you separate the wheat from the chaff? As far as I can tell it currently involves a lot of personal opinion and prejudice, and that may be unavoidable at the moment.

What about the unaffordability crisis for those that are still renting and waiting to buy? By keeping people in homes they do not pay for, you drive up home prices and reduce supply for everyone else. Not to mention create the moral hazard to just get a government backed home loan and not pay it.
You skip over the fact that it means you caught covid (either through malfeasance or ignorance) and were lucky enough to have survived, you admit to your ignorance about the relationship between antibody levels and immunity, you don't even mention which antibody test you took (which belies an indifference or an ignorance for the details of immuniology and our collective ignorance about Covid), and then want us to believe that you're a) smarter than Google, and b) more immune than most people to Covid.

I'm glad that it didn't kill you, and that you're not suffering from the effects of long covid. That shit is no joke! Did you have rigorous scientific testing done before you caught covid so that you knew it wouldn't affect you?

The awkward truth is that we know very little about how immunity works for covid. We knew enough to build a vaccine and have a year's worth of scientific papers about it and the disease, but the analogy is the difference between knowing enough to build a ship to sail the ocean find the Americas in the 1400s, and Google maps satellite imagery on smartphones.

Ethics review boards know it's amoral to intentionally expose people to virus, even ones we've vaccinated (Even with informed consent society is just too warped for that choice to be made ethically, given the risks.), which means we're not sure, at the edges, how to test for how protective the vaccine is, because, especially with the delta variant becoming more prevalent, we don't know.

This isn't an argument against taking the vaccine. Get the vaccine. The broad empirical data says it's hugely protective. But if it turns out between testing for IgM and IgG, B-cells and T-cells (and the three types of them) that we're using the wrong kind of test to test for protectivity, and that by the same fluke of chance that whatever antibody test you took that you have higher levels of makes you more vulnerable than the rest of the population, Google isn't willing to accept the liability as your hypothetical employer that they knowingly gave you covid and killed you/someone in your family (children in eligible to be vaccinated, or an unvaccinated elder) through gross negligence that could be argued over in a court of law.

I'm not remotely an immunolgist, but I've read enough wikipedia after testing negative for IgM antibodies for covid despite having it, to say that the human immune system is ridiculously complex, and (in part, thanks to our lack of universal healthcare) we lack the scientifically rigorous data to know what we're looking for. The measles vaccine has something like 0.02% of non-responders. That is, a tiny number of people who get the vaccine don't develop antibodies for measles. That's something we know and can account for and deal with and handle. But with covid, we're still not even sure what to test for!

Yeah I agree I'm worrying too much - it's basically ruining my life. I don't want to sign a lease for an apartment because I think I'm fleeing the country or losing my job.

So I admit it. I am paranoid about the US government - but I have reason to given the Snowden leaks and how they treat Assange.

So let's say they are pure evil, and wanted to do aerosols... well maybe they tried that already, but the chemtrails didn't work out.

Maybe Chemtrails were too inefficient as a delivery mechanism. How would they ensure 100% coverage? When they are manufacturing billions of doses to deploy in planes, how would they justify the cost? How would they get it delivered to citizens of other countries?
How would they hide what they're doing from everyone given the huge amount of manufacturing needed?

The only way to insert a biological backdoor is to hide it in plain sight. To make it a vaccine that everyone, worldwide, including those already infected with the virus absolutely needs.
Socrates was not a stoic. Stoicism was founded by Zeno of Citium roughly 100 years after Socrates’ death.
We are excellent at assessing risk. We developed science and statistics and we have the technology and knowledge to even be aware that this is a problem. We also have the amazing technology to spread this knowledge and make everyone aware of the issue. No other living species has the capability of doing this at all. It is an unprecedented ability.

The other thing humans are really good at are lying to ourselves and procrastinating. The tragedy of the commons is a part of it. These are the main factors that contribute to our downfall. Especially the tragedy of the commons.

The latest ICCT report shows that in the european market fossil car are around 250gCO2eq/km in life cycle analysis, hybrid at 180 and EV at 80, so it seems quite wrong.

I agree with your sentiment but oftentimes small interventions are the only kind possible. And I wouldn't say that something like a pollinator strip is ineffective -- bees and other pollinators are losing habitat, pollinator strips restore them. It may only be one dimension of wildlife but it's a critical one.

> I am curious how others have solved this dilemma in a very business driven world where things are to be managed.

As an engineer-turned-manager, I try to be respectful of people's time when it comes to meetings.

Basic meeting courtesy is mandatory:

- Schedule meetings at convenient times for everyone, preferably around natural breaks like lunch time. 1PM meeting after lunch before everyone gets back to work is good. 10:30AM meetings that break up people's morning are bad.

- Send a short agenda for the meeting in the invite. No agenda = no meeting is a good rule. Request agendas from others when invited to a meeting.

- Stick to the agenda and respect people's time. If a conversation goes on more than a few minutes but only concerns a few people, either have them take it offline or add it to the bottom of the agenda so you can cover it after everyone else has been dismissed.

- Keep things as predictable as possible. It's much better if everyone knows that meetings are generally scheduled around lunch time, always come with an agenda, and that off-topic discussions will be discouraged. Don't keep people guessing about whether or not a meeting will be productive.

Finally, some employees can benefit from a little coaching and mentoring about how to get back in the groove. If someone is struggling to get anything done on days with meetings, they will likely benefit from some coaching about how to best manage interruptions and get back into the workflow. They can also benefit from increased accountability around those days, which doesn't have to be painful if handled correctly. Some people have some "learned helplessness" around interruptions at other companies where they don't bother doing anything on days where meetings are on their calendar. Training this out of employees and setting healthy but reasonable expectations is very important.
Command-line interface isn't simply text, it's a conversational UI.

People who claimed GUI lost something were right, and that's why what was lost keeps coming back and it's still with us.

The thing that scares me about jumping into programming today is that you realistically can't know all the layers any more. My programming experience was writing a program, and a few libraries that went with it, from scratch, in Turbo Pascal.

I knew how my code worked, and the run time libraries were simple enough that they really never caused any issues. I also spoke with most of the users of the program, personally.

Now you're expected to write "apps" that run in some random mobile platform, with almost no feedback when things break. You're depending on layers upon layers of abstraction to make everything work, it's like building on sand.

On the other hand, as pointed out, it's like that in other occupations as well.

We programmers do have a choice, however. It doesn't have to be, though. We could simplify things and remove some of the cruft.
It depends. Can you turn off auto-sleep?

Disclaimer: I'm not saying vaccines are bad or not to take them, I'm saying it's wrong to assume there are no risks.

> there has never in the history of vaccines been side effects that wouldn't be detectable at this stage

In Europe several years after the H1N1 Pandemic, it was found that people who had received the vaccine for it were contracting narcolepsy, especially children[1].

Research[2] into it has been unable to determine the exact cause[3], but the conclusion of the CDC is still "An increased risk of narcolepsy was found following vaccination with Pandemrix, a monovalent 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine that was used in several European countries during the H1N1 influenza pandemic".

Only thing that comes to mind is South Park's "We're sooorrry" clip. This sentence in the Dec 2020 article says it all, doesn't it?

"They were seen as one of Australia's most significant archaeological research sites, but they also had more than eight million tonnes of high-grade iron ore, with an estimated value of £75m (A$132m; $96m)."

Fascinating where they choose to use passive vs active voice.

- "Our relationship with the PKKP people extends over more than 17 years"

- "We are engaging with the PKKP people"

- "In partnership with the PKKP people, we are focusing on understanding"

- "We can re-establish a sense of place"

Contrast with:

- "The decision to destroy the rock shelters was taken nearly eight years ago"

- "the site was reclassified as ‘cleared’ for mining"

- "knowledge and awareness of the location and significance of the site was progressively lost"

- "the Juukan 2 rock shelter is likely to be irreparably damaged"
It has reached the point where I trust data and studies produced by the CDC, but I have absolutely no trust in the guidance they publish.

They just recently updated their guidance on masks for vaccinated people. They say vaccinated people should wear masks indoors again because of the delta variant. But mounting data from the CDC themselves referenced earlier in the very same update shows that the vaccine is just as - maybe even more - effective against the delta variant. And the update does not provide any explanation for why they are reversing previous guidance in light of that data.

Maybe there's something I'm missing. I don't pretend to be an expert. But why should I put any stock in the new guidance after they have fed us so many lies recently?
Not sure I want to be programming forever but I’d like to manage software engineers until I retire. Hopefully in the near future I’ll be able to do it and my boss recently asked if I still wanted to manage people.

Still love programming and will continue to do some python programming around the house and tinkering with my Raspberry PIs but I’ll probably say adios to JavaScript.
I would hope all professionals in the field question the data and the studies. I also hope they don't draw unsubstantiated conclusions that directly contradict the available evidence.
If it was about chance of conversion and being worth a lot, why aren't I getting ads for learjets all the time instead of for paper towels? If the learjet ad converted 1/1000000 of times, I'd be worth probably an order of magnitude more buying a $50m jet than buying a $6 pack of scott towels even with the low conversion rate, but the scott towel ads are what follows me around the web after searching once for them, and these are ads I continue to ignore because what influences me with my paper towel choices isn't an idylic image of some smiling person wiping a table, but how much they cost at my grocery store.

It just seems like conversion rates would improve no matter what you are selling if you just spend a little bit more time thinking about advertizing in relevant areas vs the firehose approach that is done now, banking on the large numbers of it all to overcome the small conversion rate. If Scott wants to sell more paper towels to me, they could almost guarentee my business if they stopped advertising via irrelevant ads, and advertised in relevant spaces such as if they included a coupon for their paper towels with my weekly grocery store mailer that made their offering cheaper than their competitors.

Which Constitutional right is being chipped away?

The test for whether something is protected by the 5th has generally been "is it testimony, or is it something that just is?"

Fingerprints, other biometrics, and physical keys are all things that just are. No testimony involved. Not protected. The government can compel you to provide them.

Passcodes and combinations are something you know. They're protected.

I'm certainly open to changing the law to protect biometrics, but I don't see anything in the reporting on this case that indicates it's any different than preceding cases in the last 10 years that dealt with fingerprints.

This isn't an "everyone does it" problem though. This is a lack of regulation and government problem.

It's like blaming plastic consumption on consumers. Consumers aren't the problem, corporations are. Coke doesn't HAVE to use plastic bottles, they can use cans for everything. Yet they are one of the 1 producers of plastic waste.

Carbon production is much the same. The vast amount of it comes down to corporate production of carbon that is completely out of the average persons hands to change. I can't control how a tomato gets shipped to my grocery store, and it's frankly unreasonable to think I could locally grow all my goods. I can't change the fact that my work forces in-office work.

The fact is, burning fossil fuels is cheap, and if we want that to stop then the quickest and surest way is to tax it. Once it becomes more expensive to burn fossils you can bet corporations and individuals will bend over backwards to avoid it.

The climate problem is a failure of government and lack of regulation problem, not an individual problem.
That's your own preference, but what I'm arguing is that both options carry risk. And based on what we know right now the risk for mandating everyone to go back to the office without a vaccine mandate is riskier, for both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, than mandating that everyone get vaccinated.

Frankly, in the entire history of vaccination, this has proven so extremely rare as to be a non-factor, especially given how these mRNA vaccines work.

> Science is not an appropriate epistemic tool to answer an historical question.

Historical questions are questions of material fact, science is an appropriate epistemic tool to answer questions of material fact, and, so, I disagree.

Some historical questions may not be convenient to investigate scientifically given available tools, but that's a different issue.
These are not comparable quantities. The 99.9% is simply not an effectiveness rate, it's simply a raw calculation of how many recovered people were not reinfected over a time period. To convert that to an effectiveness rate, you would have to compare it to infection rate among unvaccinated & previously-uninfected people. This is what's being done in the 40% calculation.

Trying to compare these numbers is flat-out misinformation.
No idea where you got the notion that the author is Socrates-bashing or that the author “demands that we cannot ask questions.” The piece is so obviously a love letter to and defense of Socrates! You seem to have completely misread it.

The author obviously thinks persuasion is “a two-way street,” that asking questions is good, and that Socratic dialogue leaves people more enlightened: it helps make their ignorance more precise.

This is a very good point, and thank you for sending this information. However, the infographic is quite misleading because it doesn't stack up nursing school vs. medical school (i.e. it doesn't show the type of courses and training taught in a 4-year nursing program at all). A undergraduate bachelor's degree even in biology is not comparable to the clinical training in nursing school.

That being said, I see your point. There some types of complex care that only MDs/PhDs should be providing, and we will have psychiatrists and doctorate-level psychologists for that care. However, many of the services that our customers provide can be done by other clinicians in our network under the supervision of an excellent MD or PhD.

Part of our goal is to really figure out the "matching" problem so that we can triage care to the clinician type with the right amount of training for the patient situation. By doing that, we feel like we can really increase access the way that we hope.
The latest ICCT report shows that in the european market fossil car are around 250gCO2eq/km in life cycle analysis, hybrid at 180 and EV at 80, so I don't agree at all that more hydrid are better than less EV, and even it seems quite a wrong reasoning, more EV will bring more money to lithium mining just look at Rio Tinto entering the lithium carbonate market with a 2.4B$ investing.
