As I said, actually legislating vaccination is a complicated question and it depends on the details of the legislation in question on whether I would personally support it.

However, I think your other points are incorrect. Policy making is always about making decisions under uncertainty so we have to make the best decisions we can given the data we have. And the data we have I believe is overwhelmingly clear that any risks associated with vaccination are dramatically smaller than the risks of COVID itself. To date I am unaware of any substantiated risks of vaccination which aren't also risks of COVID infection and where the risk is much higher from infection than from vaccination. It can be tricky at times because mass vaccination will generally affect more people than infection so you have to weigh the relative risks appropriately. However, in the current case where we have a highly infectious respiratory virus we seem destined to end up with an endemic disease which only happens when ~100% of the population has already been either vaccinated or infected. So to first approximation your only two choices are to get the vaccine or (eventually) get infected with COVID. Given that and the very clear data we have now about the relatively insignificant risks of the vaccine relative to infection, getting vaccinated should be the obvious best option. After all, getting infected with a novel virus that is (now) easily preventable is ALSO experimenting with your health.
> The game changer for teachers is that you really can’t beat their vacation time and pension package, there’s no ageism, and there is no shortage of work. You are good until you retire.

One of the big deals with teaching is that it's one of the only careers you can have in the US that's really parenthood-friendly—I specify the US because in, say, the EU, most or all jobs are far more parenthood-friendly than the average job in the US, so teaching's advantage isn't nearly so strong. I think that's an under-appreciated factor in why people choose it.

As for the Summers, lots of teachers work then to make ends meet. Financial comfort as a teacher may mean marrying someone who's not a teacher, or having a second job or successful side-hustle—even min-maxing your teaching career to optimize comp, you aren't making anything like those end-of-career figures for your whole career, and at times you're shelling out a lot of money (and spending a lot of time) for advanced degrees to get those final-years numbers so high.

> There’s no teacher trying to retire at 40 from burnout.

No, but only because they don't make enough to retire at 40. They leave before retirement all the time for tons of reasons, though, including, not at all infrequently, burnout. Abusive management, abusive co-workers, abusive parents, abusive students(!), not being able to handle year after year of watching kids with mental health issues hurt themselves and sometimes commit suicide, learning about horrible family situations (there's... so much abuse going on), actually giving-a-shit leading to workaholism for little to no reward or appreciation, and all kinds of other causes. This totally separate from people who decide they just fundamentally don't like teaching at all.
You start climbing ladders at the bottom rung. Do you have 40 to 60 year data? Or are you just avoiding the 5-10 year scale by redirecting?
A mouse or trackpad is a 2D input device. Unless you have a 2D input problem (dragging nodes in a graph, drawing a free form curve, selecting a point on a map…) then it was never the right tool to begin with.

Navigating discrete UI elements or making simple UI actions of the kind that can be mapped to keyboard input - that’s easily doable with a keyboard. Occasionally it’s just a tad harder with keyboard than with mouse (web pages are notoriously useless with keyboard) but it’s possible.

I wouldn’t last a day without going crazy without a mouse though. People who say they have gone mouseless also seem to argue they have zero 2D input and basically use text and ignore all other workloads. That’s not exactly solving the problem (not that I think it can be solved any better than just using a mouse!)
Yeah - the reality is that actually getting good IT is not so simple these days. The setups are complicated - you are doing WFH, so you have network, login (domain vs local), federated AD etc etc.

Now if they can simplify this a bit into the cloud, the key for business is to DOWNSKILL this so basically an office manager can do it, then you are golden. If they can even save ONE it salary - amazing. And if users can self service a bit more - also amazing.
I want to hear from epidemiologists, not boston OR nyc's mayor. They both sound like blowhards to me.
Just checked out SaaS pass and it is definitely a robust "auth in a box" solution. Thank you, yes ultimately the goal is to eliminate account takeovers and consumer headaches - we think we have the ideal solution but also look forward to other players pushing the passwordless agenda forward.
I think there is also ample precedent for policy that prevents or discourages people from putting themselves at unnecessary risk of death or injury. If it's illegal to attempt suicide, then it stands to reason that we can pass rules against exposing yourself to Covid even if you are foregoing opportunities to protect yourself.
What would be a better example to make the point, do you think? I always use the best example I can think of. Obviously there must be better ones.
That sounds more like a bugfix. Doing syscalls manually is a rather perverse exercise, which go thoroughly proved.
This is a really good thing to highlight for new employees - you may think there is a lot of oversight in companies doing the right thing but be defensive about your labour. If benefits or pay are being withheld assume they will never materialize.

This property should also be applied to "salary increase freezes" or promised bonuses in lieu of raises. Unless the money is in your pocket (or the company has a literally terrible HR person who actually put things solidly in writing i.e. a promisory note) then any intangible compensation is likely to never be realized. And if there is a salary increase freeze the thing that won't happen next year (I guarantee it) is that they'll double up everyone's expected salary increase - you may still be in a freeze, or that freeze may be lifted so you all get normal CoL increases.

When you're an employee be incredibly defensive about what you offer - your employer is being even more defensive, I can guarantee it.
Vertical integration is so clearly the best path when you are operating in technology, and especially when dealing with pure software plays. If you control everything down to the bare metal, no one can ever fuck with you. Your common denominator is your adversaries common denominator too. Only super exotics like Apple have actually captured a true 100% vertical down through the hardware, and the impact of this shows in the market.

Vertical integration can be a massive mistake too. Usually manifesting itself as rewriting external dependencies to use in-house functionality before you have established happy customers, cash flow and/or business value propositions.
> I believe people should be able to choose what they put in their own bodies

You still can, with limited exceptions:

* Kids need to be vaccinated against ~9 ailments before they attend school (seems mandatory but homeschool is an option in every state)

* Adults need to be vaccinated against one before they patronize indoor restaurants, entertainment venues and gyms (completely optional activities and only in the densest city in the US, probably some others will follow)

There are also things you are banned from putting in your body, some by age (tobacco & alcohol) and some entirely (e.g. DEA scheduled drugs) and some controlled to the point that are effectively illegal to consume (e.g. meats that aren't allowed to be harvested or imported)
> But don't be mean to someone that doesn't know that.

I wasn't being mean, and I apologize for a poor choice of words.

I love developing Apple software, and heartily support you in your endeavors. Please consider me an ally.

I sincerely wish you luck, but Apple can definitely be ... interesting to work with.
I don't think it's an attitude problem that people expect nutritional advice to be actionable in some way. Because at the end of the day the only decisions I'm able to make is choosing to eat or not eat something. If you can't write down a set of rules for me to follow that eventually halts and resolves to a "yes" or "no" then there's no point.
my own observation is that when money is tight, sugar based products tend to disappear. When money is loose, they appear. The hitch is that industry has found a way to produce highly refined carbs cheaply.

Children can still be infected and transmit the disease, no?

Vaccination does not prevent transmission, but it does reduce it.
Nutritionfacts is ideologically driven operation. They only present one side of the argument. Plant based diet first, facts second. Being a nonprofit doesn't make you immune from bias. It's not just money perverting the field, but also ideology.
The whole field of nutrition is divided into camps, when they conduct meta-analyses of all the literature, they pick inclusion/exclusion criteria so that the side that they are championing wins.

>subsequent medieval times relatively light as a percentage of one's wages?

You owed the lord a percentage of what you produced as rent. You owed the church a tithe. You also potentially owed service to the lord and the church. Taxes were also paid on certain goods purchased. Taxes that in many cases nobles were exempt from. Kings and feudal lords could also enact special taxes to pay for specific projects.

If you were a merchant of some kind and you wanted to float your barge down a river, you had to pay nearly every town you passed through.

>it's nothing compared to what we experience today in the developed world.

Your overall tax burden could still be tremendous even if it's not paid to 1 central taxing authority.
Given the context that seems unlikely - and it's genuinely hard to rack up a three month severance liability at most companies these days unless you're C-level. Most employers will either evaporate or pay out unused annual vacation so you're looking at a year's accrual at most (we can be over generous and say they may have had five weeks owed) - plus any in lieu time which usually caps out at three weeks.
Seriously, my spouse is a teacher, we need to move wherever this is yesterday.

... of course, I'm sure that both of: 1) they'll need to attain a PhD first, to have a shot at those numbers, and 2) this'll turn out to be somewhere with double or more the cost-of-living of where we are now, and probably 5x or more like-for-like housing costs.
Do thousands then and get back to me. It's all patterns, this "inspiration", is just patterns, your just not seeing it yet.

Its true on some degree, that you need some intelligence, but I have a few close friends who are FAANG, they are definitely not the best developers I've ever worked with, only difference is they really really cared about getting into FAANG. Getting into FAANG was basically their life ambitions, so they dedicated literally all there spare time to it.

No, children are almost entirely safe from Covid. Don't exaggerate the risk.

...and they can get vaccinated, and they will face the approximate risk profile of a cold or flu.

Look, it's like I said: there are people who are going to be at continued risk from this. That's unfortunate, but it's no different than any other virus we've lived with throughout human civilization. At this point, we're proposing extraordinary interventions to head off an ordinary level of risk.

Well, far away doctors don’t compete with local doctors. But far away search engines sure compete with local search engines.

And yes, the doctor supply limit is costing the country substantially. It’s a tax on everyone else that is then distributed to a certain professional class.

It is no surprise that that professional class lobbies for it. But it’s bad for the rest of us.
> CQRS over simple databases,

I've never understood the hype about CQRS. To me it looks like a nightmare for a tradeoff that you "may" only need at some point in time. Particularly given GDPR, HIPAA, PCI and other compliance frameworks that require you "the right to forget". All books about CQRS talk and talk about the wonders of it and when it comes to that detail they just limit themselves to say "yeah, you should consider it"... but the reality is that the implications are huge.

What design nomenclature is terrible? Any examples?
the answer to your question is why cholesterol exists. why does your body produce the majority of cholesterol? If your body produces the majority, why would diet (the minority) make an impact?
Great question and I suspect you are correct regarding the impact being small (Tim Dodd the everyday astronaut, made a great youtube video about rocket launch pollution, check that out for sure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4VHfmiwuv4). He concluded that even with increased launch rates, the pollution remains small compared to other industries such as the airline industry. Not the same thing, but I'd argue the impact from satellites and debris burning up is less than the rocket it took to get up there in the first place. All that being said, we at Turion Space don't want to build a sustainable future in space at the cost of polluting Earth. For the first missions, we will drag the debris down to burn up in Earth's atmosphere, but long term, we plan to utilize reusable launch vehicle upper stages (think Starship, Relativity, and others) to bring stuff back down for us. It's a bit of an essay for a simple question, but regardless of how polluting it may be, with fully reusable launch vehicles coming online in the same time frame we are looking at performing missions, we will use those to bring stuff back down.

My retirement plan involves stuffing as much money into creditor-protected assets and then declaring bankruptcy if I get a huge medical bill. I see no alternative in today's world of "surprise" out-of-network charges.

The types of assets are protected in Texas:

2. Home
3. Two vehicles
4. Permanent insurance (i.e. whole life / indexed universal life - not optimal unless you want to leave money to heirs)

Other states aren't quite as generous with the creditor protection, so check your state's laws.

A little about me, I am a Backend Developer working for a startup on a contract basis at the moment. I have a Master’s in Computer Science (Aug 2019) and a Bachelors in Information Technology (Aug 2017). I am also currently volunteering for a non profit as a Python Developer. I carry about 3 year’s worth of professional experience in Python, JavaScript and some JavaScript frameworks while working in an environment that uses JIRA products to aid CI/CD. Academically, I have about 6 years of experience coding mainly in Python, Java and C++. I am a strong proponent of making extensible and maintainable code. I have been constantly learning to achieve this goal by applying SOLID principles, design patterns, and practicing TDD, which I believe is the most foolproof form of software development. I am also been practicing these principles while taken care I do not over design. I am constantly eager to learn about new tools and tech that is changing industry as well as working on best practices for ensuring long term stability and flexibility in production.

I am looking for Software Engineer opportunities that welcome a Junior with some experience and at the same time looking for collaborative team to work with.

Ada has destructors and can limit pointer type to lifetimes of large memory pools, but as far as I know it doesn’t prevent use-after-free for single objects the way Rust does. Lots of Ada is embedded on small platforms where they statically allocate a fixed number of objects anyway.
True, And people are not calling businesses that require shoes socialist. Social media is making all these idiots act like the world is ending if someone requires a vaccine or refuses to get the vaccine.
Well, mRNA vaccines have been in human clinical trials for over 10 years now, so if 10 years is your metric you may want to look in to that. My greater point is that to you and I - people who do not research the human immune system - 5 or 20 or 40 years may all seem like reasonable metrics. The people closest to the science disagree with us, at least in part because they cannot identify any mechanism for these vaccines to possess stealth side effects that only emerge decades later.

We’ve done a cool $50 million of R&D on the Apple Human Interface. We discovered, among other things, two pertinent facts:

• Test subjects consistently report that keyboarding is faster than mousing.

• The stopwatch consistently proves mousing is faster than keyboarding.

This contradiction between user-experience and reality apparently forms the basis for many user/developers’ belief that the keyboard is faster.

"in principle" goes away as soon as we use dlopen, as it implies a lot of things on the way C++ will be supported on that given platform ; no one cares about C++ in a vacuum.

In practice, different .dll / .so / .dylib communicate through C++ APIs all the time ; all relevant platforms have to support that at some level (which can sometimes cause strong headaches, for sure: https://www.codesynthesis.com/~boris/blog/2010/01/18/dll-exp... ).
