Maybe I should write you directly, but there was a mystery error adding my new bank account so now Google Play owes me a little money. Google Pay support has been trying to fix the problem for 2 months and they kindly write me every few days to let me know they’re trying to figure it out, but does this issue have anything to do with brain drain in your group? I’m more curious about that than the money - how is it possible the Google Play Store can go 2 months without being able to add a developer bank account? (Clearly I’m more of a snowflake). I imagine this is extra complex because Google Pay is being used for various purposes by different sides of the business.
Agreed on most counts, but I don't see go.dev as a social space. Perhaps we define that differently.

I also don't find politics in personal interactions a necessity, more an indulgence or some primal urge. I know, I've slipped many times before into it for no justifiable reason. Trying to be better.
Now all we need is for someone to do a clean room implementation of the DRM spec.

Moderna’s mRNA Vaccine for HIV Is Starting Human Trials
No that would not make sense from an American perspective. You would try to stop an enemy from getting a weapon that could kill many American or allies and cause massive environmental issues for the planet. Plus Iran gives money to group who perform terror.

You may not think that is fair. Everyone should have equal amounts of geopolitical power but it doesn't reflect reality. If Iran took over the US their version of fair would be very different from yours.
It seems so strange to me as a software/data engineer to read things like this from a fairly adjacent space and understand none of the words.
I can say from experience these do not work in the winter in Minnesota.
Mask wearing was common in some Asian countries at certain times of the year even before this so it doesn't necessarily need to end at all. It all comes down to what level of hygeine you want to pursue.
> the majority of it was common sense

Common sense is surprisingly uncommon. Some people need to be taught the basics.
Fauci later admitted to essentially lying to the public so there wasn't a shortage of masks for healthcare workers.

https://www.thestreet.com/video/dr-fauci-masks-changing-dire...

> "Well, the reason for [not telling people to wear masks in March, 2020] is that we were concerned the public health community, and many people were saying this, were concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment, including the N95 masks and the surgical masks, were in very short supply. And we wanted to make sure that the people namely, the health care workers, who were brave enough to put themselves in a harm way, to take care of people who you know were infected with the coronavirus and the danger of them getting infected."

Laudable as his intentions may be, and while I doubt he makes it a habit, he lied.
They don't combine like that, because the 75% already takes into account the double dip.

User spends $100 USD to buy 10000 robux. User buys item for 10000 robux in a game. Developer of game gets 7000 robux (dip #1). Developer of game withdraws to USD. 100000 robux = $350 (dip #2) so developer gets $24.5 USD.

Overall 24.5/100 = 24.5%.

In reality the numbers don't always come exactly to this, because robux can cost different amounts to buy depending on the amount, and there are PayPal/wire transfer fees when withdrawing.

It doesn't feel like work if the output doesn't resemble work. I've realized that I should avoid basically anything web/database/cloud related on my own time; let my employer pay me to figure that shit out. If I'm learning a language, I try to do it through fun topics with little commercial value, like music, puzzles, or crappy Unix tools that will help me be lazier.

Saying carbon credits are a scam is like saying phones are a scam — they both come in different qualities. (If one phone model’s battery explodes, do all phones explode?)

There are various ways of offsetting emissions that aren’t vulnerable to leakage. For example, you can capture methane from landfills and burn it. Since methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2, burning it has a net greenhouse reduction. And there’s no chance of leakage — water, CO2 and oxygen aren’t going to spontaneously turn back into methane in the atmosphere.

In addition, in some cases it’s more cost effective to make a mostly reliable system and correct errors than to build perfectly reliable systems. Would you rather plant 2M T of trees and have none burn down or 10M T and have 20% burn down?
A judge can overrule the "will of the people". The people can overrule a judge by by selecting a new judge or by an amendment to the constitution. Those take more work in order for them to not be subject to the vagaries of the current political winds.
Prop 8 says otherwise.
Geopolymer?
Maybe. But Uber and Lyft were effectively also blackmailing a huge chunk of the population at the time.

Uber and Lyft were threatening to simply shut down if this proposition lost. A LOT of people at the time only had Uber/Lyft as their income. That was going to be catastrophic.

Trump was still President so people had little prospect of unemployment benefits. We had no vaccines and no known timeline. Lockdowns were still in effect at various levels of strength.

If you had this vote again, now, I'm not sure it would pass.

(I could also go into how Uber and Lyft were spamming the hell out of my email and phone. That should have gotten a whopping fine from the FEC.)
I said this above, but if your solution requires every living person to obey you it is not a serious suggestion for a solution. Everyone in the world was never going to mask up and lock themselves away, this was actually an argument made by people as part of why these measures wouldn't work. Is the current state of things proof they were right? I'm surprised to see this excuse for failure of these measures so often touted in a forum largely comprised of computer scientists.
What’s HCL?
Haha wow, OK thank you... This brings me comfort :)
These aren't large scale projects across rivers, but just enough to capture the run-off on one's own property. Mostly you are improving soil retention, and refilling the aquifer. Often times it's as simple as creating repeated depressions in the desert so that dust, seeds and wind blown matter can collect along with just enough water to start plant growth so that the topsoil can be stable once again.
I mean, strictly speaking, you're technically correct. Informally, though, it's a proxy for transistor density.
> the risk of vaccine escape does not imply a particular public health policy

It does have major ramifications for public health policy - you're disagreeing with many experts in the field when you make these claims.

> There is no procedure that tells us what policy we should choose based on vaccine escape risk, because it isn't the only consideration

Of course it isn't the only consideration - no one claimed that it was. This is a straw man.

> It is irresponsible to make authoritative pronouncements on a complex public health policy issue when you're completely fixated on one particular risk.

We are in agreement on this in general, and I admit my comment could have been worded less strongly.

But again, these ideas are being espoused by experts publishing peer-reviewed literature. They are not "fixated on one particular risk", and if you take the time to read the cited literature you'll find rich discussion of many subtle nuances and tradeoffs. That is as authoritative as it gets. There is nothing irresponsible about sharing the knowledge and opinions put forth by world class researchers.

Ask HN: Senior title on resume with just 2-3yr experience
Some of my detail are intentionally fuzzy below, but I hope you'll understand the nature of my question.

I was recently given the title of "Senior Engineer" at my company. But I've only been at the company about 2-3 years, plus about a year of internship prior.

The company is a medium sized company, but software is just one branch of the company. The software department, while a profit center is very small, ~50 devs, 100+ other folk in customer-facing or non-dev roles. The company isn't a flashy company, mainly producing niche enterprise products. Pay is market average, at least based on what I've seen and my own salary, but hiring new developers is challenging for the department. Except for junior, recent grads, very few non-junior developers join the company.

when I started at this company, a few coworkers spent over 4+ years before they got the title and I don't mean to make them appear like poor performers or make myself appear superior -- they both worked on significant pieces of the product. And in other teams, people who've been here longer than me still haven't officially been given a senior title.

While I do feel I'm able to contribute at a reasonable level at my company, able to take on larger responsibilities compared to some of my coworkers; I feel this is somewhat title inflation due to just being at the same company and having steady above-average performance for my time here, having steadily grown into my role on the team and steadily improving my skills, experiences and ability to do what they expect of me. And most importantly, just because of the loss of more experienced engineers and having trouble attracting more seasoned engineers.

To me, I don't feel like a Senior Engineer. Most jobs I seen posted ask for 3-4-5 years of experience (I'm closer to 2 than even 3) to be considered a senior. Do I feel like a 'senior' at this company based on the current environment, needs to the department and team -- yes, simply because of accumulated domain knowledge, experience on the job and ability to do things other coworkers would have a more difficult time with.

But I can't just put "Senior Engineer" on my resume can I? It may be apples to oranges, but I would probably not even make it past the recruiter if I considered applying to a Netflix Senior Engineer position. Even if I did somehow manage, no way I can remotely compare my 2-3 years here to what Netflix would consider the lowest tier of a Senior Engineer.

Any thoughts? So far, I've omitted the word "Senior" on the resume whenever I shoot out a resume, just keeping it as a generic "Software Engineer".
> Victimhood has become THE status symbol of the left.

Oh, good grief. Consider the things you say. You make a ridiculous claim.
I think you’re probably right that lockdown measures should track, inter alia, projected hospital utilization. However, the message we’re still receiving is that the lockdown remains necessary because if we can just maintain it a bit longer, COVID will go away. It seems a bit disingenuous, sorta like “free beer…tomorrow.”

Ok, some of those are really pretty.

Still, as the number one killer of humans, ever, I'd say that hate is well earned.
I seriously hope it is true, i.e. COVID-19 with vaccination settles into roughly flu territory. With all-cause mortality percentages - it is important to remember that doubling all cause mortality happened during the introduction of public health measures. Has it not happened it would be much worse.
Everywhere I've worked has had a policy of no remote work. Yet, if you got your work done, and your manager was OK with it (probably the case if you get work done), no one cared. I guess they could look at badge data (if your company has them) but I've never seen a company do that.

I don't think I've ever had a manager that could be convinced to care about this even if some level of management did in fact care. Who the hell wants to spend time taking attendance like a schoolteacher?
What in particular is this in response to?
whats the point of voting? Almost 60% of Californians supported this measure.
> even though they do not support the point the commenter wished to make

They do support the general point - if you think otherwise, please articulate how they do not.
I don't think it is unreasonable to assume that the overwhelming majority of people who use computers only use the web browser for 90% of the things they do; the author's viewpoint seems adequate considering that.
The other points here are quite valid, but I think they miss the reason why legal scholars disliked Prop 22 so much. It requires something like a 7/8ths majority in order to be amended? It was effectively a statute trying to backdoor as a constitutional amendment.
CO poisoning leaves a telltale bright red skin coloration in human victims. CO prevents oxygen release from hemoglobin, making venous blood near the skin as red as arterial (oxygenated) blood. I think responders would have seen this if CO was the toxic agent.

It's puzzling - as you pointed out, CO2 poisoning causes extreme distress. You'd think victims would have shown evidence of that.

Maybe as another poster described, asphyxiation occurred not due to CO2 poisoning, but to oxygen deprivation through displacement of air by CO2. Oxygen deficit asphyxiation is very fast (seconds) and asymptomatic.

It will be interesting to see what they finally determine CoD to have been.
Hope you feel refreshed in the morning. The core idea is that a PNG file contains an 8-byte signature followed by any number of chunks.

The outside of every chunk has a regular layout: https://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-PNG-20031110/#5Chunk-layout . But the inside of each type of chunk is different.

There are many types of chunks, like: https://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-PNG-20031110/#5ChunkOrdering
One wonders about the hubris of the folks who approved this part of Prop 22:

After the effective date of this chapter,
the Legislature may amend this chapter by a statute
passed in each house of the Legislature by rollcall
vote entered into the journal, seven-eighths of the
membership concurring, provided that the statute is
consistent with, and furthers the purpose of, this
chapter.

Prop 22 was intended to be almost impossible to overturn, requiring a higher bar for amendment than even the state constitution, and only permitting the legislature to amend it if the amendment was "consistent with" Prop 22.

Regardless of one's opinion about Prop 22 and AB5, this provision was undemocratic at its core because it deprived future citizens and their representatives of their ability to modify the law.

> Any virus will keep trying to change

First, the "virus" in this sentence means "all the trillions of individual virions currently in our environment, including the trillions currently in living cells. This does not mean that individual virions are changing in response to any stimulus or lack thereof. What they are saying is that as those trillions beget many trillions more, there will be many random mutations. Most of those mutations will result in failure. Some will end up as successful as their antecedent. A tiny few will end up with mutations that make them more successful in the current environment. So the mutations happen regardless of anything we do or don't do.

But as we take more countermeasures, it becomes harder for the baseline virions to be successful (because the vaccines work, distancing works, etc.). Any mutations that are only as successful as baseline are going to have trouble spreading. So by default what we will see is more of the mutations that result in things like easier transmission. Because they are better suited to the current environment where people are taking countermeasures. And because baseline is not as successful, the proportion of the new variants will increase over time.

Putting this together, if there's no selection pressure, mutations don't confer any advantage and they will tend to disappear from the population. So through that lens, the new variants wouldn't necessarily have gained a foothold if people weren't using countermeasures. That's not specifically the vaccines, though. Delta is apparently more transmissible generally, and that could also be a response (via random mutation) to social distancing & masking measures.

So the vaccine didn't cause the mutation, but the presence of the vaccine and other human countermeasures shaped the evolution of the vaccine.

The difference is that those are worn by choice, and in very specific social situations. A more comparable thing would be to shoes, or shirts, since we are talking about everyone wearing them. It's not just a matter of making it cool, hats are cool and not everyone wears a hat. Facial expression is a very important part of human interaction and I think that will always outweigh any amount of cool that can be pumped into masks.

Thats a bit misguided in interpreting the propositions. By default propositions cannot be override by the legislature, by adding the provision it was more amendable than normal.

Forests can be a carbon sink if managed properly. Lumber is a carbon sink. If you build a structure with lumber, you are locking that carbon up. Smoke from a wildfire is a carbon creator. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Environmentalists preventing California forests becoming lumber are actually producing more CO2 in the atmosphere. I'm all for building more structures with lumber, locking carbon up.

And the fact is that this move will make the official Go language sites more fragmented and confusing. At least for me.
How much would it cost to give everyone a device from which the private key could not be removed?

Worried about "mark of the beast" based objections? Make it optional. Those who wish can retire their SSN and receive their public / private keys and then the government publishes their SSN as a trashed SSN. Everyone who still wants just a SSN can take their chances.
I didn't read it as a stretch because first generation vaccines used in the campaigns all have shared targeting, and medical treatment is being discounted.

This was from [1]

Please, be kind.

It's a difficult question, and I wish I had a better answer than 'read laloux'[1]. But I can try to summarise the perspective I gained from that exercise. On a policy level, anything that reduces the amount of power concentrated in any single hierarchy would probably help. But I agree policy is probably not the best place to make any lasting changes. Culture seems far more promising to me, if the cultural assumptions are more around becoming the best at a new field over competing in a crowded one, or about helping your junior colleagues make good decisions over making good decisions for them, then I think we'd be getting somewhere.

Obviously, that is a slower thing to change than anything that could be done at a policy level, but I think it gets us towards the right metrics. On an optimistic note, I do think that organisations which make more use of all members' judgement have advantages over those who concentrate decision making - here's a general making that same point in a military context [2]. As for where the points of maximum leverage might be to achieve that kind of change... I'd certainly be interested in any suggestions!
