> When you leave the military with an infantry MOS and without leadership experience all you have is a proven ability to work hard and put up with bullshit.

But, from the contact I’ve had with the military (been close to several people who have either enlisted or commossioned experience, did the ROTC basic camp but chose not to contract) that's not particularly likely unless you are either actively avoiding or completely unsuited for leadership.

And even then you’ll probably have some leadership experience.

> You're on roughly equal ground with someone who's been a warehouse laborer or janitor for an equivalent period of time and on lower ground than someone who at least has industry adjacent experience.

Even if you somehow manage to be in that place skill-wise (and I think, leadership skills aside, that's unlikely), you are still better off career-wise, because essentially all public and many, especially large, private employers apply systematic positive preference for veterans in hiring.

> The idea of taking the team out to an airbnb (or some other communal living arrangement) in the woods

Oh god no, no, no, a million times NO.

I'm a mostly introverted person. I would MUCH rather go to the office 5 days a week for 8 hours each day than have to be stuck living with a group of coworkers for 2 weeks straight in a house in the woods.

After 8 hours of work the last thing I need is being forced to spend the rest of the 16 hours in the day with the same group of people.

If you're going to do a meet-up for a fully remote company, please do it in a location with several hotels and let every employee arrange their own accommodation reimbursed. Keep mandatory activities to no more than 6-8 hours a day, don't pressure people to spend their evenings and weekends drinking with the company. Outside of meeting hours, let people enjoy the place however they like -- adults are more than capable of figuring out recreational activities on their own, and you don't need to provide structure 24/7. If you pick Las Vegas I'm sure a whole bunch of employees will self-organize themselves and go gambling and drinking, but I have no interest in that stuff and you'll probably find me in some national park during the weekend.

By French safety standards, that's pretty crazy stuff. Leaks and other middle-seriousness incidents are rather common around nuclear sites. Why people would build it in the first place is a risky tradeoff, but why they would place it in a highly-populated area is outright madness.

In any case, in that model, heating housing using nuclear sites heat makes perfect sense.
The point of view is unreasonnable : a child naked is not Porn unless the intent is to make it porn. No one would think to describe a child naked at the beach "porn", why would it be different on an album cover?
> But I agree with you, I'm surprised Steam doesn't have a way to get old ROMs.

Not quite old ROMs, but gog.com sells old computer games prepackaged for Dosbox, which because of that work on Windows, Mac and Linux. That's basically the old PC computer equivalent of what I believe Nintendo does by shipping the emulator with the ROM when you buy it through the Virtual Console so it runs as a whole.
> There are US laws that I can’t remember the names of which make financial institutions legally responsible (probably bad English) for crimes that happen on platforms they sell their services to.

If it's what I'm thinking of, these laws are collectively known as "know your customer" or "KYC" [0]. It's primarily intended to prevent racketeering, money laundering, and other organized criminal activity, but the laws are written very broadly in part because they're looking for surreptitious activity.

In the case of sex work, it's difficult to verify that all performers are of legal age, that all activity is consensual, and so on. Since there are many, many ways that sex work can be illegal, it's very complicated.

What you're describing sounds like vanilla async concurrency. I seriously doubt 'most applications' use the one-thread-per-request model at this point in time, most major frameworks are async now. And it's not a silver bullet either, plenty of articles on how single-thread is sometimes a better fit for extremely high-performance apps.

After reading all of you responses, I still don't see how you think your learnings apply to Discord. They would not be able to fit the indexes in memory on MongoDB. They can't batch reads or writes at the application server level (the latency cost for messaging is not acceptable). Millions of queries happen every second, not one-off analytical workloads. It seems these two systems are far enough apart that really there is no meaningful comparison to be made here.
That is a whole other ball of wax. Age of consent is a thing. As a parent I wouldn’t choose to let my child be part of that sort of photo. I also don’t think his parents had any malice in putting Spencer in that photo. Until recently he seemed completely ok with drawing attention to the photo by recreating it multiple times and giving interviews.

Let’s not pretend that he would be suing Nirvana if that album sold 5000 copies either.
When you think about the power structure of our governments, power flows top-down; from National -> State -> Local government, which makes sense. But when deciding which local governments participate in which State governments, and which states participate in which national government (if any), these decisions should be managed bottom-up instead of top-down.

Consider the situation in Oregon, where five rural counties have voted to leave the state of Oregon and to join the state of Idaho.[0] According to WaPo:

> "Lawmakers in Oregon and Idaho would have to enact bills to redefine the states’ boundaries and redistrict their legislatures. They’d also have to muster the votes to override a potential veto from their respective governors. And then Congress would have to sign off on the move."

In other words, these counties can only change states if they're able to get 320 million people to sign off on the change. That's crazy.

Now, how to achieve this in practice? Ideally we would revert to the original Federal system (with a small, weak federal government and strong state governments) and allow for counties to move between states, but that seems unlikely.

Alternatively, we could allow for counties to move between states, and allow States to self-organize into new federal/confederal nations, or to move between nations via some established process (i.e. referenda). These nations should coordinate at a supra-national level (like the EU) to facilitate commerce and free movement, and to allow for the settlement if nation-level disputes.

Hey! Thank you - I wanna start with #3 (and I apologize for any lack of clarity in my original post), So when adopted in a classroom, one period every week (the same period every week) is a Litnerd designated period. The first of the 4 Litnerd periods is a pre-recorded episode adaptation of the book (to get the kids excited and hooked), subsequent periods are an interactive video conference where our Resident Teaching Artist stay dressed in character from the episode and goes through the reading, comprehension, SEL and ELA curriculum + lesson plans, etc. The student respond back, interact - we literally are kinda Outschool in School while staying in character of the episode reenactment. There are 2-3 pre-recorded episodes/short form content students can watch as well (students in all our classrooms were donated chrome books from Google). But a big chunk of this is live, interactive on the Smart Screen in classrooms.

Obviously week long 'retreats' are out of the question for those with very young children/etc, but that's a tiny minority amongst tech workers. If you're childless under 40 and would rather quit than take a few retreats throughout the year, you don't hate the office -- you hate coworkers -- and I highly suggest you start your own business before it becomes an employer's market again.
Kids were raised just fine for the thousands of years before remote work existed.
You're blurring terminology.

Yes, "more fun to watch" is entirely subjective. "Peak excellence" is much less so. It is indisputable, if one is being honest, that for almost all sports, the top woman/women's team would not be even close to competitive were they to compete against men. Thus, it seems incorrect to claim that any woman/women's team is performing at "peak excellence" without the qualifier "amongst women".

Again, none of this means women or women athletes do not deserve to be treated with respect. Nor does it invalidate one's personal preferences on which sports they like to watch.

However, I do think that for most people who regularly watch sports, peak excellence is an important factor for which sports are more fun to watch. This, in turn, explains why patronage of men's professional sports is so much greater than for women's.
This did not come across at all for me either, until I watched the Loom. Personally I would love to see a short example of each teaching style supported in an actual classroom (reading out loud, recording, and live stream). Questions I had include: are the live streams interactive in any way? what features does the ebook contain (animations, background sounds, other effects)? and what level of quality are the recordings (do they have closed captioning available, how are the actors, etc)?
> it often makes sense to pursue growth as an end in itself, well past the point of profitability

To be clear, growth is not an end in itself, even in this case -- profitability is still the end.

The point is to temporarily forego profit until you have an unassailable market lead, so that you can then more more profit in the long-term.

I partially agree with your sentiment. But isn't this one of the most commercially relevant skills to demonstrate to a potential employer?

In finance, it is "tradition" for people _without_ certifications to dump on those with certifications, such as CFA & CPA, but most of these haters miss the point. It is really hard to motivate yourself to finish. Once you have the cert, it is a good indicator that the person can get things done! Interestingly, when I interview fresh grads, if they have anything that demonstrates tenacity, like sports or playing musical instruments ... or something that takes time and skill to accomplish, I am always curious to hear about their experiences of personal growth.

The nurse watching over me when I got my second jab seemed legitimately concerned for me and told me in a slightly angry tone to “go read Pfizer’s website” if I had any issues or questions. The implication being quite clearly, the hmo and medical staff doing this had zero ownership over the outcomes or really much understanding of what they were doing to people. I suspect it’s the relatively new (2017) ingredient, “4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane-6,1-diyl)bis(2-hexyldecanoate)”[1] that causes the most confusion. In a few years I think everyone will know that one, but I understand why current medical professionals feel out or their depth trying to evaluate it at present time.

This is such an awful take.
First of all 95% of consumers have no idea about how software and hardware works, they'd have to install the OS, drivers and basic programs.
Most consumers value commodity above all, and they are more than willing to pay for it.

That is a reflection of the incentive structure of most companies. It's not overtly in the interest of the business to pay their employees more money without extracting more labor from them. If a business either cared about or was at least cognizant of employee satisfaction, then rewarding good work would be a part of the management team's culture. The initiative management usually takes is in giving out new titles to employees and raises that aren't that far off from inflation, which is essentially just milking more out of employees they think will handle more work for roughly the same cost.

What you are essentially saying is that employees should beg not to be devalued, which might make sense in a contractor-client relationship, but W2 employment comes with such a tilted balance of power (especially with non-competes and clauses that bar doing work for other companies on the side) that there just isn't that much to gain from trying to negotiate. Employees are better off changing jobs every few years so they can completely shed any baggage from their last position and get a much fatter paycheck. (industry variations notwithstanding)

This isn't to say that I think that people are being sinister. It's just behavior that the system incentivizes.
It's fun to see a fresh new take on how to draw maps in Python. I'm still mired in 10 year old concepts from when this stuff was much harder. This project just looks joyful.
Or perhaps allow competition and not government granted monopolies through patents and approvals?
And some of the licensing conflicts are because of an alliance that existed and made sense in say 1995 and today seems like inexplicable nonsense.

For example indie creator studio makes video game for the PS1. It's a huge hit, they go on to make other popular games, and one day Microsoft buys them, morphs them into an in-house team. And then one day you realise you're arguing that, Microsoft (now the owner of the license) should release this Sony Playstation game. No. Not going to happen.

When this stuff happens for individual humans, often even if the money doesn't mean anything to one person who is an obstacle, it does mean something to their co-creators and they'll do it for that. For example it would be possible for Alan Moore to have blocked a lot of stuff that uses his work, from the V for Vendetta movie (which lots of people liked but I felt missed the whole point) to the re-issues of Miracleman, but while Alan doesn't care about money, the artists on that work do, and him blocking it would hurt them. So e.g. that's why modern copies of Moore's seminal run on Miracleman say they're by "The Original Author" in big text but never mention Moore by name, that's his condition, he doesn't want the Mouse's money, but his artists do.

Corporations don't care though. If they can inconvenience a modern competitor by snuffing out an important cultural artefact that is exactly what they'll do.

I'd actually advocate outright abolition of copyright. The associated moral rights have some place, but copyright is almost entirely a means for corporations to try to control culture for their own profit and we don't need it. But 28 years is a more acceptable middle ground I guess.
Will journalist ever report confidence intervals? The report says:

> Adjusted VE during this Delta predominant period was 66% (95% CI = 26%–84%) compared with 91% (95% CI = 81%–96%) during the months preceding Delta predominance

So it's not much accurate the 66%, it could be anywhere between 26% to 84%.
This is kind of a narrow view.

You've learned a variety of skills, probably had to face some challenging missions, been exposed to other cultures, learned to work within an organization, probably have highly conscientious posture.

Anyone in 10 years and never had a leadership position at all you'd have to question a bit (they should for sure be sergeant) but ideally would be prepared to be a regional manager for retail or Wallmart Center Manager. The more easy going and communicative would work in sales. Almost anything operationally oriented.

Contrast that with a sex worker who will unfortunately have a narrow set of options because a lot of companies just won't hire for that reason.

I think viewed uncharitably, it makes no sense. But I think it is plenty logical on its own. The reality is my org. - and many like it - have choices. We're not choosing between an incompetent person with a relevant credential and a competent person without one, we're choosing among many competent individuals (as far as we've assessed), and verifiable (marketable) indicators of competence beyond us "vouching" for them is an extremely valuable resource. It may not be ideal for a given person's career, but I don't think it has that much effect on our clients' outcomes.

I'm sure there have been exceptions to this, and firms that aren't as confident in the capabilities of their people may suffer more.

"ROM sites are still a ubiquitous problem for 20 year old consoles. Youtube, Spotify, Steam and Netflix made content easy to get. There's no equivalent for most ROMs, so they're still widely pirated."

The only example I can think of is Nintendo Online. You can play select NES and SNES games on the Switch with a N.O. subscription.

I collect ROMs, I've got damned near 4Tb worth. I collect for two reasons:

1. Archiving
2. Most of the "good" vintage games carry ridiculous prices. Games that had over 10 million copies pressed going for $100+. Even if we assume 1 million were destroyed, that's still 9 million copies floating about. Not exactly rare or worth $100.

I've been thinking about this image recently thanks to the cover image of The "Weird Al"-phabet podcast[0] which was a parody of the cover of Weird Al Yankovic's 1992 album Off the Deep End[1], which in turn was a parody of the Nevermind cover art. Weird Al's work has often stood on the shoulders of giants, but I appreciate the way he adds something significant to it (almost) every time.

The part that you are missing is that all of alternatives to YouTube pay creators little or no ad money and have far worse search engine/discoverability. If a creator is getting demonetized on youtube, moving to a platform with no monetization would not solve their problem.

And sooner or later, any platform that becomes popular would have to implement a content ID system and and have to deal with ban/demonetization waves every time Twitter/journalists discover a new type of offensive content on the platform.
