Normally, this is because they don't actually want to be there but the class is in the way to some other objective. So, what degree were you in the way of the students getting?

In addition, molecular biology may be the first "biology" class that an undergrad ever encounters where "memorization" isn't the point. That habit needs a while to get broken.

I HATED biology in high school--a bunch of useless memorization. Then I hit a molecular biology class and loved it--everything made sense. Of course, most of the students in the class reacted in precisely the opposite direction.
Often there's a lot of insight to be gained by reading what vendors and industry publications have to say on a topic.

DDG suggests that this is a leading call centre industry publication. This is their article list:

https://www.connectionsmagazine.com/articles/by-topic/

I've skimmed a couple of sections. There are a couple which look at workplace issues (career & self-improvement, workfroce management). Nothing jumps out immediately, but there might be some hints.

Note that what you find in articles and practices on the ground ... may differ.

Vendors advertising workforce-related systems and services (especially monitoring, tracking, recruiting, etc.), or legal / compliance organisations, could also give some possible insights.

Overall, it's a low-wage, low-skill, but also low-hazard environment (no dangerous equipment, encounters, etc.). Much of it is outsourced to low-cost regions with many English speakers (Philippines, India, Mexican border towns, Florida, etc.). Alternative employment may be scarce, unemployment high.

Change any of those dimensions and you might see conditions improve.
Hmm, like others here I seem to really be missing the point of these minimalist phones besides the straight branding behind them. I think the dumb Nokia feature phones satisfy most of these cases.

Personally I've taken a few steps to minimize time on my phone
1) use a long text password to unlock my phone (I also change the password every few weeks)
2) don't use any apps with endless scrolling
3) turn off notifications and open apps with purpose

These three things have worked out well for me.
It's nice seeing these well paid VPs of a comfy company choose to take the risk and go work at a startup but this company has too many "former VPs" so who's doing the actual work?

Precisely! Locking yourself to github platform and then being unable to react to whatever strange rules Microsoft applies to it, doesn't sound exciting. I suppose there could be a script that uses github API to effectively scrub all the data off a repository?
What’s nice about this is that there is now a clear baseline whenever someone pitches blockchain as a solution. $100/month is fantastically less than most of the project ideas that all require lots of labor hours to set up and maintain.

Every non-speculative blockchain application I’ve seen would have been met by just a distributed, immutable database. And I think the speculative use cases are morally wrong even though “make money by tricking people to buy” is uniquely met by a blockchain and not a db.
The parent paid for the device, don't they then own it? Or can kids sign up for phone plans and buy $1,200 devices these days? Normally, if I buy a device, I want control. If I chose to get alerted to porn being sent to my 10 year old - that should be permitted.

I don't care if the sender hasn't given consent, I don't give them consent to send porn or naked photos to my kids !
Intel is in the cusp of getting taking out. Architectures and process technologies are both multiple generations behind. AMD has 10x its server share. If the trend sustains for one more generation the majority of the market will go to AMD.
I agree leetcode interviews are pretty stupid, and there are plenty of skilled professionals who suck at that sort of interview (even if they are quite good at finding good hires it can be silly for most companies to use them as candidates who do well will likely have many competing offers from other leetcode interviewers.)

When I was at university a lot of people studied hard for somewhat bullshit exams that had little relevance to the work they we’re expecting to be doing for the rest of their lives. And people paid the university for the privilege of getting to take those exams. The purpose of this studying was achieving good grades and the value of these grades was an increased expected value for lifetime earnings. But this value is probably lower than naively looking at statistics would suggest: ambitious, hardworking, or clever students were more likely to do well in exams and those people would likely do well later in life too even if they had food poisoning and failed their exams.

In comparison, it seems to me that job interviewing costs a lot less than getting a degree and the payoff is potentially larger, more direct, and more immediate. It seems that the pain of studying and practicing bullshit leetcode questions is outweighed by the benefit of, say, a 50% pay rise or equivalent quality of life improvement, and I don’t think a moral stance against leetcode is strong enough to justify turning down such opportunities.

But maybe you feel more strongly about this moral position than me. Or maybe you are one of those competent people who can’t do well at this sort of interview even with studying and practice. Certainly such people exist.

My point was that an IDE runs the static analysis in the background and gives feedback as soon as you type, in the editor itself, instead of having a separate step.

Same with the test... it's easier to react to the test result, check what's failing, re-run the test directly from the IDE.

This would be in addition to the CI/CD... to aid the coder, not just to secure the integrity of the codebase.
I remember those arguments against spam filtering!

It's hard to say, but probably not more than a month. I think I compensated a bit by saving some calories to eat directly before bed, but there was definitely some time of simply powering through it. If the Fella plan makes things like this easier then that sounds pretty cool.
I think a lot about our framing and I know for sure we haven't nailed it yet.

It's fair to say your avg HN reader is very different to your avg American. For example, you seem already somewhat clued up about Semaglutide. You're likely interested in the biology behind it, and probably aren't afraid to parse the journal article about it.

I really wanna emphasize how different this is to your avg American.

So it's more my bad for not tailoring our language enough for a HN post.
Germany's a hard comparison, but anyway...

Fist, SF salaries are high as is cost of living. Perhaps compare to Dallas. Or even Toronto.

Then there's social insurance aka pension. A SE in the US I'd assume to have healthcare (caveat - as long as in employment). An in terms of private investment such as stocks, the German stock market is quite different from the US one in terms of composition (as companies raising funds tend to use different means) hence future asset-liability matching. And a fair bit harder to do your own company (and VC funding) in Germany due to 'esoteric' tax requirements for companies (including but not limited to needing to pay tax in advance).
It reads like you and GP are talking about two different things. You’re talking about Raft specifics and the GP seems to be talking about a Vertical Paxos like setup where Raft is used for configuration and the data path uses another replication algorithm such as Primary-Backup or Chain Replication.

My Bolt battery died at under 3,000 miles and was replaced back in November, just before the first recall was announced. Actually it was in the dealership still when the recall announcement came through. I like the car and think GM did a good job with it.

Though, at this point I have about 10 months left on my Bolt lease and if it wasn’t for supply issues on new cars and not knowing what to do next I would probably turn it in early. Due to working from home pre-Covid and not much changing during, I haven’t even put 4,000 miles on it after 26 months. It makes almost no sense to have a car, except kids.
Actually supply and demand usually rules Pandemic or no pandemic. E.g., : 1) if you want better workers and skilled worker supply is limited, you pay more than the other guy, so wages go up. 2) As wages go up more people are motivated to get trained in that skill. Eventually more workers available and supply of workers goes up. If demand stays the same, wages go down as employers don't have to pay as much to fill positions. 3) Less motivation to get trained in that skill so less workers. Repeat 1.
You can definitely replace Google's app store, see Chinese phone providers, Samsung App store, sideloading, etc... You can also make any browser the default.

Apple I agree with.
for that reason some games (on PS1) would subdivide on the fly, and have special code to avoid t-junctions (extend by pixel, such that there is no gap), also there were no sub-pixel coordinates hence the "shimmering" - still though some games brought quite impressive graphics for what the chip offered.
That's exactly what the Paycheck Protection Program did. It lent money to businesses that kept their staff employed. Eventually most of the loans were forgiven.
I didn't say that the vaccine isn't effective. I'm saying this is nowhere near "incredibly effective".

The post you cited is helpful. However, it is confusing the definition of efficacy. There were debates on what the efficacy meant when Pfizer and Moderna reported their high numbers. But there was *NO* definition saying that 94% efficacy means 94% of vaccinated people won't get SERIOUSLY sick. Most commonly, it meant either (1) 94% people will have lower chance of getting COVID (i.e. getting tested positive)[1], or (2) 94% people will have a lower chance of getting sick [2].

Now the post you cited essentially says 94% people won't get SERIOUSLY sick. This just proves that neither (1) or (2) above is true.

Debian. Having said that, the only ARM machine in my house is running Ubuntu, but only because I was advised to install that as a testbed for another system.
When I was a child, my mother refused to buy me any computers. I had to earn money mowing lawns and raking leaves to buy a laptop.

Once I had a laptop, she told me she wished there was software she could install on all of her children's computers that would allow her to view what each of us was doing on her TV.

I considered that spying - even if it was intentional on her part. I detested how few rights I had as a child.

You can duplicate the Yubikey or the hardware cryptocurrency wallet?

Wouldn't the ability to duplicate it make it weaker?
If 100% of people were immunized then 100% of hospitalizations would be vaccinated people. This doesn’t mean vaccines aren’t effective.
Interesting, what is the next highest cohort, though? 10% may still be enough to dominate conversation if its a big enough plurality.

This is a vote-driven website, and while maybe less prone to the bandwagon effects on, say, reddit, it still happens that if a group of people begin to vote up a post or comment, it will have strong momentum to gain further votes.

I've seen you post this verbatim comment before and it always feels a little like a shallow dismissal.

Maybe its worth someone taking the HN Kaggle dataset and doing a keyword analysis. Demographics are one thing, the topics themselves should be studied.
Yeah I guess I agree. It's in a pretty intangible way but he has definitely influenced my thinking.
10x? Where did you find those numbers.
Not sure why you’re being down voted as this is definitely the path forward. The industry and research have both explored the polar opposites of weak consistency protocols and linearizibility and consensus on the other end. Understanding your domain and knowing how you can step down to something weaker than consensus will be critical for future applications.
I do this too using my remarkable (reader tablet )and then scripts that export highlights / notes which I then index for as plaintext - it makes this process much more seamless.
I really do not know why ""minimal phones"" are a big deal when you can just get a feature phone. $349 seems a little overpriced for a phone that just makes phone calls and sends texts. I think it's just not worth the money
Another difference was using small 4-bit textures with own palette applied on different parts of the character body, instead of one huge skin (like done in Quake), not only this allowed for better sampling - e.g. no blurries around shoulders, but also better and more optimal use - for example most of your hands, or legs often are with the same texture,hence two (or more) different 4-bit textures might server better than one huge 8-bit one (and the pallette for it would be smaller too).

But then there were also tricks of reusing textures (mapping) directly from what was drawn on screen (for blurring, etc).
The open source company im at uses Github Issues/Projects exclusively for project management, and I'm not a fan, though I do think it's the least worst option - using any other system would require a really weird and bad way to sync the issues that are reported publicly.

Github just lacks the few necessary to do project management well, I think. I would love a "backlog view" for Github Projects.

You can duplicate the wallet. It would make it weaker, but it's more secure in that they usually have hardware keypads for you to enter your PIN on.
It’s still a perfectly reasonable approximation. What pains me is the popular myth that reducing calories in while maintaining calories out “doesn’t work”, which is essentially arguing for the existence of a perpetual motion machine.

We do work with T1 diabetics, and the weight loss prescription does bypass that line of questioning.

BUT. Cards on the table about qualifying for GLP-1 RAs: most insurance policies still don't include weight management medication, and if they do it is difficult to know how your insurance will react until the doctor writes the prescription. I know people smarter than me are working on changing this about the US healthcare system!

So we'd have to see exactly which medication was a fit after a conversation with the doctor.

Which state are you in by the way?

Makes sense. I’m in IL and my doctor would be quite willing to have that conversation. :)
It is wrong to entirely discount a tale of woe, just as it is to entirely credit it. The right dismisses and demeans, and the left is credulous and unquestioningly supports. Both are wrong, and there's a wide swath of reaction possible between these two extremes, which is where I try to be.

And in addition, both the left and right extremists like to misrepresent the other, and demean them, which is also wrong. The problem here is that someone in the middle, like me, is happily pigeon-holed as an extremist by either side, as you do in your comment. I did not, and have never, demeaned the leftist error as "oppression Olympics" because this throws the baby out with the bathwater. Racist policy has momentum and it's foolish to deny it. What I stand firmly against is the credulity with which every allegation of misconduct is accepted from anyone that has certain characteristics. Privilege is real, but that doesn't imply that everything the underprivileged say is true, or that they would never be tempted to use the power of allegation to achieve personal ends.

The best way to remember what you read is to apply it. If you read a book about programming in python and you want to retain that knowledge, write a program in python.

Unfortunately writer's writing advice for other writers but pretending like it's for everyone is too common.

>> 1. Quality matters more than quantity. If you read one book a month but fully appreciate and absorb it, you’ll be better off than someone who skims half the library without paying attention.

Maybe, or if you read the wrong thing, get a bunch of dumb ideas in your head that you would have been better off not having and nothing to counter act that can mess you up.

Furthermore, quality is hard to gauge ahead of time.

>> Speed-reading is bullshit. Getting the rough gist and absorbing the lessons are two different things. Confuse them at your peril.

That's hyperbole. When I read about speed reading it suggests that you vary your reading speed according to the subject matter. e.g. if you are reading Atlas Shrugged(if that's your cup of tea), I highly recommend speed reading through certain parts(you'll know when you get to them).

>> Book summary services miss the point. A lot of companies charge ridiculous prices for access to vague summaries bearing only the faintest resemblance to anything in the book. Summaries can be a useful jumping-off point to explore your curiosity, but you cannot learn from them the way you can from the original text.*

Depends on why you are reading the book. (e.g. Unfortunately much of school was nonsense, this can help with that).

>> Fancy apps and tools are not needed. A notebook, index cards, and a pen will do just fine.

Fancy apps and tools can be a purpose of their own. If a fancy note taking tool helps motivate you to take notes, and note taking is useful for you, you should get a fancy note taking tool. This is a personal decision.

>> We shouldn’t read stuff we find boring. Life is far too short.

Sometimes that nugget you need is in a boring book. I thought this wasn't reading for entertainment.

>> Finishing the book is optional. You should start a lot of books and only finish a few of them.

Yes finishing the book is optional.
Well the symlink command was also easier to share with others having the same issue, whereas a one liner that creates an executable script which returns 0 is less ideal.
That's news to me, I seem to remember news stories from last year that people were being infected multiple times and the immunity from having endured COVID-19 was not actually that good. Quickly trying to look this up with 'covid-19 reinfection' as query (trying to avoid confirmation bias in that search), the top hit on DDG is the USA CDC which writes:

> Among Kentucky residents infected with SARS-CoV-2 in 2020, vaccination status of those reinfected during May–June 2021 was compared with that of residents who were not reinfected. In this case-control study, being unvaccinated was associated with 2.34 times the odds of reinfection compared with being fully vaccinated. --https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm

Reinfection occurs much more frequently if you don't get vaccinated, if I am reading this right. Not sure I'd call "natural" immunity "also" or "incredibly" effective.
With 70+ minutes of flight time, maybe it wasn't battery powered but rather powered with liquid fuel.

It’s not though. It makes no difference posting evidence or not to these people, it’s a waste of time.

But sure, here’s an article that breaks it down in simple terms https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/08/12/science/covid...

See the references at the end, it estimates a 50-70% reduction in infection rate for vaccinated people vs unvaccinated against the delta variant.
Define "cost"
COVID vaccines based on the Wuhan variant might make people more susceptible to the delta variant:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34384810/

There is statistical evidence to suggest this is happening — eg, Israel seeing a delta spike in deaths, but Palestine not.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/israel/

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/state-of-p...

You can see both countries are experiencing a surge in cases, but only Israel is experiencing a surge in deaths.
The under-60 part doesn't really count as the age of vaccinated people is generally higher than the age of unvaccinated people. I trust the over-60 data to represent the efficiency of the vaccine against the Delta variant better.
You might want to look at beta blockers and talk with your doctor. (eg: propranolol). These are non addictive and will turn off the receptors causing panic and fear. Some people cannot 'think it away' and need medical help.
