On a public health level you would be making the probability of a vaccine escaping variant more likely by incubating a bunch of virus in an environment where vaccine escaping mutations have a competitive advantage.

On a personal level, it seems like if you succeed in getting it you're likely going to be feel fairly sick (a fairly substantial downside in my opinion), and the upside seems to be relatively minor since in the case of a vaccine escaping variant we will be well positioned to make a variant of the vaccine for it quickly and with minimal red tape.
> If you are on the same boat as described in your parent posts and making a million per year and are just waiting for the vesting then I would say if you can endure this, do it till vested and then quit

That's pretty much the plan, but you lose me after that.

> The position fills the hole in life that would otherwise show up soon

The purpose of every life decision that I've made so far is to avoid ever having to work a job again again. I don't understand how anyone can "have fun" or "feel valuable" due to employment. Nobody would be there unless they were being paid for it, because all those coworkers were not there before they started getting paid (excluding interns, but that's also an oppressive dynamic).

The only data point I have is that school sucked while I was there. People told me I would miss it so much when I got older. They were very wrong. School sucked and was a huge waste of time. College was also a huge waste of time. I don't miss any of it at all.

The only thing that makes my career not a waste of time is that it will provide for a future where I can pursue my own interests without threat of hunger and homelessness.

I recognize that my position is considered extreme, and I'd like to be convinced otherwise. The only argument I ever hear is "oh you'll be so bored, you'll see, you'll come back" and it doesn't make any sense to me.

If I make it through a few more years of this, I'll find the answer and report back :)
Can you do this with PureData too?
>> the best efficacy numbers come from a combination of viral exposure and vaccination...

Allow me to accept that at face value, unchallenged. Why does anyone else give a fuck about me getting the vaccine in order to have better efficacy than the great masses who only got the vaccine? Why it so goddamn important to them what I do? My real virus exposure already has better efficacy than the vaccine alone. Why must people push sooo fucking hard on this? It's probably just fear, but other peoples fear is not my responsibility.

Sorry for the trigger.
> I recently had a “vacation” [...] I ended up working 3-4 hours every day.

You got used by your employer.

They owe you comp time equal to the length of your "vacation". You deserve that and should not hesitate to ask for it.

I read it. I just disagree with it.
This is demonstrably not true. If you rent a home and then burn it down, you are going to be held liable to the owner of the home. In the case of your phone, no one, including Apple, cares if you buy it and then immediately smash it on the ground and destroy it.

Apple controls the software that runs on it but there is nothing that stops you from modifying or hacking it to your heart's content if you are able to, just as they are not obligated to make that an easy task for you.
> burnout often involves pouring too much of your heart and soul into something that does not love you back. I describe burnout now as a kind of "unrequited love."

I authored this comment but can't go back to edit. Given that this sentiment appeared to resonate with HN, I just want to add that I write extensively on this theme in my book "Eating Glass." I just put the chapter titled "Burnout" up for free: https://markdjacobsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/eg-samp...
Seemingly chance after chance after chance.

Is that why the kardashians are so famous, because their continued media presence is our opportunity to see if they make sense? No, they are just crap and giving them more sunlight just gives them more undue fame, money, and power.
> Democracy and hegemony are coupled by means of managed democracy, where the elections are free and fair but the people lack the actual ability to change the policies, motives and goals of the state

Can anyone refute this at this point? I can't see any way to win an election without a giant war chest. Money basically directly buys votes. The only way to change that is to get the message out to people that they need to vote all these people out, and no one can do that because the people in power are the only ones controlling the narrative.
@aerosmile is correct. "People managers" are not capable of managing their way out of a wet paper bag. They use stories like this to insinuate themselves into positions of power which, actually, they relinquished when they majored in Communications in college.

I will trust the person with dirt under their fingernails that came from building something, long before I'll trust someone in a nice tailored suit (resembling the guy in the Snowden article) who talks corp-speak.
There are plenty of phones. Even Linux-like or totally different (like Sailfish). It just seem that you are not ready to make compromises.

Because it gets harder for the opposition at a faster rate. The opposition is end user repair. But you know this, it is a common strategy, this is why you out skill your opponent.

There are widely reported cases of people taking their iPhones to the Genius Bar only to have someone swap their philips head screws for pentalobe screws.

Passes common sense.
> I met Linus at the '94 Boston USENIX and asked about NFS file caching. He told me he didn't care about NFS, and didn't think it would ever get fixed. The interaction was unpleasant and left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Linus has always been blunt about which things he cares about and which things he doesn't and I can certainly see him not caring about NFS. I'm sure he would say it really has no business being in the kernel in the first place, but ultimately I assume he's fine with it as long as that part of the tree is somebody else's responsibility and it doesn't interfere with the rest of the kernel. That's really how Linux kernel development works: people work on what they care about and Linus' only real job for decades now is to veto the bad stuff.

I'd love to be using FreeBSD more, but I have to stick with Linux because things like docker, wireguard, and hardware support always hit Linux first and I'm more of an end-user than a hacker.

The victims of mass crypto-hacks that keep happening
Interesting. I’m curious if you can guess what led you think that, since I don’t think I’ve ever seen that spelling anywhere.
I think “we don’t have the machinery to do that” is an effective argument in the real world when someone asks you do to something. I’m not sure if it matters legally (lawyers sometimes use vague phrases like “reasonable effort”), but it definitely affects how strongly people will pressure you to do things, and how likely you are to acquiesce to that pressure.

The scope of the change Apple would need to make to scan your photos arbitrarily just got a lot smaller. The number of engineers who would need to be “in the know” to implement this change got smaller. The belief from governments that Apple has the option of doing this got stronger. The belief among Apple’s own management team that they can do this got stronger.
In years previous, take the San Bernadino shooter for instance, Apple argued in the court of law that creating backdoors or reversible encryption was insecure and also subject to exploits by malicious actors, and thus not reasonable and was "unreasonably burdensome". As well, they made the argument that compelling them to do write back doors also violated the first amendment.

It was most likely a winning strategy that the FBI actively avoided getting rulings on and found a workaround.

What apple is creating here is an avenue for the FBI/NSA/Alphabet agency to create a FISA warrant and NDL to mandate hits on anything. The argument its gotta be pre-icloud upload or subject to manual review or on some arbitrary threshold is something is just the marketing to get the public to accept it.

All of that can easily be ordered to be bypassed. So it can be a scan, single hit for x, report.

Ill take the downvotes, but if anything, someone more conspiracy minded could easily take this as a warrant canary. Given the backlash apple ahs faced and ignored, it doesnt make much good business sense for them not to back off unless they are

A) betting on it being a vocal minority to resorts to action (which is entirely possible, especially given the alternatives and technical hurdles to get to a suitable alternative)

B) Being pressured by governments now. (also entirely possible given their history with the FBI and previous investigations).

The concept of ownership you are asserting is but one of many historical principles of ownership. There are however, other concepts of ownership that conflict with what you are asserting.

I don't think there is a good faith argument that Apple is invading or controlling anything of you own. All that's happening is you agree to run the algorithm in exchange for using iCloud photos. That's just a contract; a mutual, voluntary exchange.
It leads to that content never being produced. It’s a form of censorship.

Never. My location has no bearing on what I'm worth, and any attempts to nickel-and-dime me on that score are likely indications of a dysfunctional company culture that I'd want no part of anyway.

If I were pushy, I might even attempt to determine how much they'd be paying for my working on-site—energy and maintenance costs, the rent they pay for each square foot of my workspace, etc—and request that they add that to my paycheck instead, rather than waste it. But I'm willing to settle for working remotely and being paid not one dollar less for it.
YouTube was an absolute cesspit of copyright violation until (well after acquisition) it wasn’t. Move fast, break things, but I guess it matters which things.
There's usually always a catch.

Your try to make it less easy to find someone also makes it less good for the intended use case. Suddenly the app can only tell you if someone is in the same town or not because we combined the heck out of zips.

But the you realize that at the edges of whatever combination you chose you can find if someone is on one side or another of those areas. And these areas have borders on many sides so many cells to triangulate with and play the "are you here or on the other side".

So basically both requirements fight each other and guess which one won and what the results are.
The imposition of our own values onto others is how wars start. If you think that our values are encoded in laws, and accept that different sovereignties have different laws, then you should be able to accept that different people have different values and standards. Maybe to the EU we are barbarians because our consumer privacy laws are so lacking...

Those principles are not universal because different cultures have different values, beliefs, standards, and situations. If you've been taught otherwise then you've been brainwashed by a propaganda machine designed to motivate you to support and fight wars of value imposition like the Iraq or Afghanistan wars.

Plus, no country was around to teach the Americans how to build a society back then, and you could say we turned out fine enough.

We are big proponents of democracy but not only do we acknowledge that democracy is not a perfect system to begin with (something we are taught in schools), but our version of democracy isn't even a perfect execution of it, much like how China isn't really a communist utopia. We are more like a capitalist democracy, where effectively the wealthy can leverage more of a vote (through advertising, propaganda, PACs, etc). So if all our systems are flawed, who are we really to impose our flawed values. The answer is that the real motivation for imposing our values isn't some belief in fundamental ideals or values, but rather for American interests. We didn't setup a puppet bureaucrat in Afghanistan because of democracy, we just wanted a friendly government in the Middle East. The CIA operating in your country doesn't give you relief! No, they are not there to help YOU or your people.
I would say that sovereign countries have the right to determine their own policies. If by "We" you mean the United States we are a massive loser in treaties, we give away much much more than we get. We exert power by having a military 10 times as large as anyone else (and mostly that large by virtue of saving the western world from a Nazi dictatorship) but that margin will cease to exist within the decade and Nazi China will have the worlds largest military and exert the most power and the world will be MUCH worse for it.
Well, insofar as an economy is characterized as people at work, then whats to say people in the future cannot find something useful to do?

OnlyFans banning new policy: what’s happening with nudity on the site now
You have described it well. The force feeding of podcasts is unwanted. No one ever went to Spotify to listen to a podcast before, so forcing them at us from the UI is shit. I also don’t go there for recipes, movies or TV, they are a different thing and belong somewhere else.
Buy a ThinkPad. Problem solved.
For those who are referencing tracking pixels and say this isn't anything new, it's important to understand that this is the next evolution of that technology as a result of government regulations around privacy and browser/OS ecosystem changes from Google, Apple, and Mozilla. This data transfer won't occur at the browser layer for much longer - it won't be as technically feasible without cookies and it may not be legal given consent/opt-out requirements. Instead the data will pass directly from the advertiser's server to the ad platform's server. Of course this tech has existed for a long time - it's a basic API call - but it hasn't been widely adopted in the ad tech industry, while millions of websites are using tracking pixels.

It is not a 1:1 replacement for tracking pixels and lacks some of those creepy features (you're unlikely to get tagged if you simply browse a website without giving up any personal info), but it offers new ones as well (the ability to send arbitrary data to an ad platform).
C'mon, there is nothing here. It's just a thought bubble and a very small one at that.
I didn't downvote (and wouldn't, not for what you'd said) and that's a little more perspective. I would say maybe. The trick is, if you're having no trouble going through the motions, and those around you aren't registering a problem (are you being really sharp with them, more abusive than usual?) and you know you're doing great but it's not worthwhile, that's different.

BUT. But but but.

You said you think management is not accurately evaluating your performance. RED FLAG and yes, for specifically burnout on the way.

Let me pitch another scenario. You can still think. Your management is still entirely happy with your productivity, which hasn't faltered at all. But, to YOU, it's not nearly enough. You're overwhelmed with guilt and you just can't ramp it up to what you 'should' be doing, and to you you're ineffective, and they haven't spotted it yet, and it's just a matter of time or maybe they're just totally incompetent and have no sense of what's really needed?

BINGO. I apologize. You've filled in some blanks. That describes a kind of burnout very accurately.

You're experiencing what actor Gary Burghoff experienced when he went into burnout playing 'Radar O'Reilly' on MASH, a hit TV show. His performance did not, in fact, fail, even at the end of his stint. Instead, he drove himself harder and harder and began to be more demanding of his co-workers and employers, and it's this fate you're at risk of experiencing. And it absolutely is burnout: Gary Burghoff is on record about it and how it cost him this role.

Thank you for filling in more of the blanks, and good luck. It's tricky when you're driving yourself onwards and holding it together but you're imposing your own impossibly rising standards on others. Have some upvotes, you stuck with it and got your message through despite some initial confusion :)
You don’t need this on Venus, as getting CO2 from the atmosphere is trivial. They is pretty much the only thing the atmosphere is made of there.

But why would you want to get rid of CO2 on Venus? It has tons of benefits. It gives good lift ability for airships so you can stay far above then hot surface. Also no need to worry about Hindenburg disasters as stuff will not burn in CO2 atmosphere.
It's a state court making a decision about a state law. They absolutely have jurisdiction.

Judges make rulings like this all the time. Without these kinds of rulings, the final result would be determined by default. If Party A is doing something potentially harmful to Party B, and Party A is permitted to continue while everything plays out in court, then the result is a default ruling for Party A.

Also, in the original question there was a nonsense phrase (civic ruling) which I took to mean civil ruling. If that's the correct interpretation, the courts in the US are involved in both civil (like this) and criminal matters. That's what they do.

Regarding my 'disagreement /mediation / greivance / court' thing, that is how things get resolved, aside from violence or protest or just ignoring it, the principle methods of resolving disputes in the US are: discussion between the parties, mediation, the courts. That is a factual statement.

Violence is not a legal manner of recourse. Ignoring it is obviously not what one group wants (so forces them towards discussion, mediation, or courts). Protest (probably happening) doesn't actually resolve most things on its own, unless it's able to shutdown business for one of the parties long enough to force them to the table or put them out of business. Protest mostly draws attention to an issue, which can force the hand of one side but is not universally successful.
I think your best bet might be NextCloud. You can either host it yourself on a storage VPS or find a provider who provides managed NextCloud (or however they repackage it.) Be aware there are many more providers than listed on the NextCloud website and you'd do well to search about. If you're in Europe, take a look at Hetzner's "Storage Share" as an example of what's possible and prices for high-quality hosting, but like I said there's a million operators out there doing this and you can get it dirt cheap if you want.

I don't know how it works on an iPhone but on Android NextCloud detects when save pictures in a different directory due to some app and asks me if I want it to track that directory. It was already configured by default to track stuff taken with the default camera app.
> is Apple being compelled to do this by the US government? Or is it a choice Apple has made purely internally? I think that makes a difference.

You're being downvoted but it's a critical issue.

If Apple is currently being compelled to do this, it likely means the US Government has a massive new privacy obliterating program underway and Apple probably isn't the only tech giant joining the human rights violation parade. It's important to find out if that's going on. We can be certain they didn't stop with PRISM.

If it turns out to be the case, that Apple has joined up to another vast human rights violating program (they already did it at least once before, remember), the US needs to move forward toward Nuremberg-style trials for all involved Apple management and all involved Apple employees (and not only them). That's the only way it stops.

Such human rights violations should not be allowed to continue. How many tech employees at these companies got away with extraordinary human rights violations related to PRISM? Employees at these companies were responsible in part and critical to helping to make it happen. Who are these enablers? Why aren't they in prison? Why is this so rarely discussed on HN? (yeah we all know why)

HN is pretty amusing about this topic. Privacy is a human right? Yeah? Also universally HN: but let's not talk about the people actually responsible for the human rights violations; let's not talk about all the techies being paid princely sums to commit human rights atrocities. Let's not talk about prison sentences for what they've done to their fellow humans. Let's not hold tech employees responsible.
Actually the fact that you don’t really own your Apple hardware is supportive for the Apple’s privacy arguments. Since it does not really matter in that case where those images are scanned, as long as the end result is the same.
What year could you believe reading this in?
That’s an exaggeration since there wouldn’t be as many lawns to water and apartments are more energy-efficient.

Also, infrastructure like water treatment plants are expensive and scale well, so you can spread the cost over more people.

But yes, there are problems that come with density and they have to be thought through.
I urge the Times editorial board to experiment in their own neighborhoods first and report back to us.
> Then I bought Mandrake at CompUSA.

Ha! Me too! I thought I was the only one. I remember that whatever release it was had a bunch of problems because it was the first version not based entirely on Red Hat and that they rushed the release of the next version to fix all the issues. So my purchased boxed copy ended up being both buggy and only relevant for like 6 months.

I think I switched to FreeBSD for a while after that.
Congrats on the job

It seems to be well deserved

Good luck and have fun!
Why would Apple start shrugging now when they've been fighting the FBI in court?
I was referring to actual monetary cost. Immediately prior to saying "zero cost" I outlined some other costs (time, physical well being). I'm open to discussions that try to explain other costs (that's why I asked).
I counted at least three (successful) coup d'état, and I'm not sure if I should count also the operations in Cuba. Also, there are many items about guerrilla and anti-guerrilla support. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_state-sponso...
