> Amazon delivery contractors are often outbid by school bus companies. Drivers who work for those can make more than $20 an hour and be home for dinner. Amazon contract drivers typically earn $17 an hour and often work late into the night to keep up with demand.

I mean, sure, Amazon can raise their wages to compete, and then we run out of... school bus drivers? I'm not sure that's any better.

At a point, you either need to increase the labor pool (by pulling people out of unemployment, retirement, etc) or seriously automate the profession, and we're just not there with delivery services right now.
But those numbers are not comparable. Increasing by 10x doesn't necessarily mean it's high enough to outweigh the risks from side effects.
That's true, but from the data I've seen, the risk to under 18s of Covid is still higher for both hospitalization and death than that of the vaccine heart inflammation potential rare side effect. That said, compared to over 18, I admit it is not as clear cut, and I can understand being more hesitant.
That's excellent. Do you know if that methodology (exclusion of partly-vaccinated) applies to other CDC studies? e.g. are there studies where partly-vaccinated are reported as a separate category, rather than dropping the data?
I made enough money selling 12 companies.
In this case, the dots were connected a little late. Part of the problem was that the man didn't begin to experience the symptoms after over a week. And it was his second dose, too.
Yes, but HR is sadly considered a cost centre, so that failure of management is sadly quite common.
How can you be sure these copies of Windows haven't been tampered with?
Yes. This is exactly what was talking about in my previous post asking for examples to determine how hyperbolic the response was.
The Wirecutter has used affiliate links, which makes me think twice about their reviews. If xyzcorp's widget is the best out there, but not available to be monetized via an affiliate link, would they include it in their review? If this gives them the freedom to evenly consider ALL options, then I'd consider a subscription.

Still, I don't know of anyplace else to get unbiased reviews (other than Consumer Reports, but I feel like they're out-of-touch with technology) without resorting to a Reddit thread or similar.

Marijuana testing is an arbitrary bar, but a fairly well-known one, so you do actually improve the distribution of your candidate pool by using it for low-skilled jobs with a large, undifferentiated labor pool.

Specifically, if it's known that these jobs test for Marijuana use, you're cutting off the portion of the applicant pool that knows this but still uses anyway, which stochastically reduces the likelihood that a candidate will eg show up to work intoxicated (fwiw, I'm a big fan of marijiana: I use it regularly, am a commensurately lighter drinker relative to my peers, and I'm pretty sure I'm making the right choice in terms of health and responsibility)

Like I said, it's an arbitrary bar and a path-dependent one, and a counterfactual equilibrium in which alcohol or another intoxicant was tested for would work just as well. But it's not irrational for employers to use it in certain labor market conditions. There are analogues in other labor markets, like requiring a college degree to be a firefighter; the false positive rate only really starts to matter if you start finding it difficult to find qualified applicants.

Tech jobs, by contrast, already have plenty of bars that their employees need to clear. In this context, any candidates swept up in blunt drug tests are likely to be false positives, and the use of the bar is a net negative for the employer.
Not eating meat is a simple decision. But feeling morally superior to those eating meat is a problem. Especially when the meatless lifestyle is defended by saying to save other creatures' life, yet the same lifestyle is heavily supported by products which were grown in large monocultures, destroying the natural habitat of countless critters in an otherwise rich flora and fauna all over the globe.

There's industries where mandatory vacations (or "Required Absence") are a thing - in finance it's not unusual to be required to take at least one two-week block each year. It helps reduce bus-factor (if you can't afford to lose this person for two weeks, he's a risk), and helps prevent embezzlement because most schemes require constant baby-sitting.
It was quite surprising how many medical staff on twitter basically were telling people "shut up and wear a mask, I wear a mask everyday & there are zero side effects" to people who weren't used to masks, who were raising legitimate complaints.

Its painfully obvious that putting a barrier in front of your face that is designed to trap particles is going to prevent air flow - and for people who aren't used to this this is going to cause issues.

Perhaps, its fine for medical staff who are used to altered airflow, but for the general population it may be a problem - and the dismissal of that from medical staff online was a display of arrogance.

Marijuana does stick around a long time, but they test for other stuff that doesn't, some benzos, heroin, etc. There's apparently something called an ETG test for alcohol consumption that can reach back a few days.
Nah, crack harshes the mellow. Real heads put powdered banana peel and nutmeg in their spliff bongs.
riiiighhhtt.... If it's that bad, you really should be looking elsewhere. But it's probably not that bad and you're just trying to save face for some HN karma. If you are that good you'd have no problem finding another job. But continue to play the victim here, no one really cares.
Which is why Feathers’ book on the topic spends so much time on testing. Establishing a test suite that allows you to (hopefully) make changes without breaking things, and if you do you find out quickly.
Fair enough. I will point out there is no commercial entity that does better than Apple on any of these counts. Open source will only get you so far: every hardware vendor other than Apple has lower standards for labor rights and sustainability.
I've heard of situations where the nod/shake are switched. Better just go with the waggle.
It's pretty incredible they claim people are "unvaccinated" for 2 weeks after getting vaccinated. Why not consider them "recently vaccinated"?? And where is the proven science backing up the claim it takes exactly 14 days before the vaccination kicks in? i.e. Is it 0% effective on day 13?

Considering the CDC and the media are freely blasting out headlines such as: "A Pandemic of the Un-vaccinated", I'd say it's safe to consider them to be blatantly lying by omission.
I spent over a year away from React at a company using a very obscure front-end framework. Afterward I felt slightly behind on the uptick in NextJS and Hooks usage (these both existed but were uncommon before), but... it really wasn't a big deal. I picked it up. A couple months later I'm quite comfortable with both (I have opinions about hooks, but that's for another day)

I think people overblow how big a burden it is that things keep evolving. Especially once you know the language/platform pretty well (that part doesn't change so much) and you've been around the block a few times ("oh, this is like X but different in a couple ways"), it just really isn't a huge thing to learn the next trend. Sometimes it's a genuine innovation, sometimes it's a familiar pattern coming back around in a new set of clothes. Neither case is a catastrophe.

> You even have uptalk in text with 2 sentences ending in "?". People are going to downvote this because I'm going to sound (and be) patronising, but drop it, uptalk makes you sound not confident.

I'm pretty sure that's the point. Ending in a question mark is a way of marking that there are error bars and you're not 100% confident, just saying what you think is most likely the case.
I wouldn't worry as much about what you're "told" and instead follow the data, of which there is a ton that demonstrates Covid vaccines reduce infections, severe illness, and transmission:

> Data from multiple studies in different countries suggest that people vaccinated with Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine who develop COVID-19 have a lower viral load than unvaccinated people.(41-44) This observation may indicate reduced transmissibility, as viral load has been identified as a key driver of transmission.(45) Two studies from the United Kingdom found significantly reduced likelihood of transmission to household contacts from people infected with SARS-CoV-2 who were previously vaccinated for COVID-19.(25, 46)

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-br...
But if only 10% would ever get Covid and 80% would get the vaccine the numbers would need to be adjusted.
That's funny, it took me a minute
There's not one way compile or decompile code, though. Yeah, their goal is to create source code that produces the same binary as the original once run through a compiler, but the source on its own doesn't guarantee that will happen.
Dead tree Flutter book you would recommend?
Every popular RPC format I'm aware of supports dynamic schemas, they're just generally not used unless strictly necessary. E.g. Cap'n Proto has SchemaLoader (dynamically loading compiled schemas) and SchemaParser (parsing schema strings into generic objects): https://capnproto.org/cxx.html#dynamic-reflection, protobuf has "Dynamic Message": https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/referenc... , etc. Plus, literally anything you can compile can be done dynamically, so it's not like this is an inherent quality of an encoding, only at best a specific tool.

Broadly: I'm sorta curious about the details here, but I'll have to read more later. It seems to be claiming the world without a whole lot of evidence, and some incorrect claims, while being implemented as a fairly simple (often good!) serialized form which is also quite large (less good!). Also I have no idea why it's so obsessed with sort-ability. It's not like the encoded data as a whole can be meaningfully sorted, and per-value that sounds like "is big-endian"...

E.g. this is the serialized form of a pre-defined struct with a single field, like `{"age":20}`: https://docs.rs/no_proto/0.9.60/no_proto/format/index.html

// [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 6, 0, 0, 0, 26, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 20]
// [ root ptr, vtable, data]

which is pretty far from protocol buffers': https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding

08 96 20
^-- 01 in sample

This sort of waste in favor of simplicity seems to be spread throughout the encoding. I'll happily admit that I think NoProto's format is the easier of the two to read and understand by hand, but that's not generally why we choose binary encodings. It's possible the simplicity gives it a performance edge, but I strongly suspect that, in practice, that's influenced far more by the various implementations' internal details than the encoding itself.
> Partially vaxed were not included in the data

Why not? And where is that data?

Unless there's something I'm not understanding, I'd consider this lying by omission.
During the Olympics, I noticed that many athletes seemed confused about where to go following their races/runs/performances. It always took them a second to orient and proceed in the direction the volunteers wanted them to go.

I wondered (but never did find pictorial evidence) if it might have to do with the common Japanese gesture for "come this way," which, by happenstance, is almost identical to the rest of the world's gesture for "go away."

Would love to more about this as it sounds like you are implying that their practices and technology are significantly ahead of the commercial sector.
>Gnome and GTK are designed with themes as a core feature, and have been for ages.

I don't know where you heard this, but to my knowledge this hasn't been true. GNOME 3 didn't really support "themes" proper, for a while now the only supported theme is Adwaita. It technically did support re-styling with CSS, and you could load a different CSS using the tweak tool, but this was always considered unsupported -- if you loaded a theme that had bad color contrast or makes the text otherwise unreadable or broke any number of other things that a theme could break, then that was on you. The option was appropriately hidden in the tweak tool so non-technical users wouldn't accidentally load a theme that breaks their desktop in an unrecoverable way.

>Discussing what makes themes difficult to support - how to design themes that don't break good apps, and how to design apps that don't break with good themes - would be far more productive

Respectfully, it wouldn't. This has already been discussed quite a bit and the problem is that if you want the full power of CSS theming then the apps will always break, because the theme can literally change anything anywhere. There is no way to design a theme or app that works correctly here, it's like trying to take a random CSS file from one website and then applying it to another random website. Sure maybe it might change some things, but most likely it won't really work because none of the class names will match up. The only way "theming" really can be done reliably is to do it in small controlled ways, e.g. I believe there is some discussion of allowing changes to the accent color similar to what Windows and Mac do.
I think you may be misunderstanding the parent comment. In current usage, the term "living wage" doesn't have any connection to employee wages or what quality of life they buy. It's just a shibboleth reaffirming one's identity as anti-corporation qua corporation.
>This is an extension of prison labor.

You lost me with that hyperbole. I fail to see how you can equate voluntarily working for a company earning at least minimum wage and other benefits, as "prison labor".

I think you're laying some very useful foundations and that I look forward to experimenting with it or ideas based on it. I also look forward to what you decide to do or build and will be monitoring your project.

I see you're going for a zero trust model where you have baked identities into the data structure. Which is very cool.

We have a discussion about this problem on Infinity.

https://0oo.li/method/60001/community-managed-software-secur...

One idea is to strictly review all distributed apps, so sign them by a central party.

If you want to run arbitrary source code which is untrusted you need a interpreter like Ethereum/Bitcoin or browser JavaScript.

I like the approach you can exclude nodes or identities you dont like which is the federated approach mastodon and matrix take. But it doesn't really scale if actors can mass produce identities to spam the network.

I liked what Freenet's FMS did (freenet messaging system) which is web of trust. Your visibility of content is based on a transitive trust setting on an identity. So if you knew a good person and trusted them you could still see good content.

Reddit solves the problem by having a 'new' section which is where any users content goes but it's not the default view. HN does the same. Good content gets manually audited.

I am really excited by P2P software and Braid. I think the problem is running information systems over a P2P network is not a solved problem. The automerge, yjs and Hyperhyperspace projects all provide parts of a data storage layers. Either need to hitch a ride on the browser like Hyperhyperspace with webrtc or something dedicated like a DHT like Kademlia.

The day I can distribute host an information system backend and frontend and others can help host it with me that would be success to me.

So we have problems with distributed storage and distributed compute.

I was recently having a browse, something like the QNAP TS-473A looks good.

I run my own custom built ZFS for Linux server but the QNAP TS-473A interested me as officially supports ZFS and is practically a small Ryzen server in a cute form factor.

I use ZFS striped mirror (Raid 10). 4 drives, 2 mirrors in stripe mode. This gives a reasonable level of safety and performance.
Does anyone know what the `mutable` column means? I think the cap'n'proto section may not be correct as I think you can do read/modify/write.

> all the buffers/data is trusted

This part is also wrong I think. Cap'n'proto is fine to use with untrusted data AFAIK.

> Thus, Cap’n Proto checks the structural integrity of the message just like any other serialization protocol would. And, just like any other protocol, it is up to the app to check the validity of the content.

Likely the author is referring to this section of the home page:

> As of this writing, Cap’n Proto has not undergone a security review, therefore we suggest caution when handling messages from untrusted sources

Which seems more like a disclaimer than "you can't do this" (security is on by default as compared with FlatBuffers where it's opt-in).
Hey, not the computer's fault that you didn't remember to ask for libc instead of the shell command:) (Although I kinda like whatever SUSE did to make it interactive prompt whenever the manual section is ambiguous)
You should have reported the crime, because by not reporting it, you feed the people that are enabling it. You allow them to promote the idea that their policies are actually working. Then, you're more likely to have it happen to you again.
No, I imagine everyone was aware of the payment. I just think doing stupid shit to close GSA and DOD deals is the norm throughout enterprise software development; what I'm more curious about is whether anyone really gave a shit about this particular stupid thing.

I feel like a hurdle that people arguing the other side of this need to clear, and aren't, is that prior to BULLRUN really not many people were making that much noise† about Dual EC. It was not a secret that it was in BSAFE; it was, according to the post upthread, not just in the documentation, but in the documentation with a warning to disable it!

The tenor of the conversation changed sharply after BULLRUN and people connecting the dots on the TLS random data exposure. But the argument I keep seeing, and the one implicit in this post we're commenting on, is that nobody should have needed BULLRUN to start freaking the fuck out. I disagree with that argument, in a sense (obviously: everyone should have been freaking out.)

† Yes, people were making noise, but they made noise (and still do) about _NSAKEY too. There's a difference between then and now, and it's obviously not just because I finally agree with them now.
Good to know. Thanks for the correction.
>Also, any shortage is entirely self inflicted from offering poor wages.

Yeah! All the millennials who can't buy a home are just self-inflected by not bidding high enough! Government policy certainly didn't' contribute to either!

One possible scenario: more and more stores like pharmacies where there aren't as many people "window shopping" or shopping for fun anyway, therefore not much spontaneous shopping to lose out on, will become pickup-only places where you cannot physically enter the store, you can only buy online and pick up at the window. It would probably require less square footage and less direct labor.
AKA, be a backend developer, because tech changes less frequently there and backend devs get more respect than front end and "full stack" devs, regardless of how talented they are.

Sorry I said it, but it's true.
Been saying the same thing for a while, never got a straight reply. RH doesn’t have “missions”, “challenges”, leaderboards, “achievements”, experience and stat points, etc. The only sense of progression you can get is the portfolio value chart over time, which is an integral part of every single brokerage.

The only example I ever got was “the mobile UI shows confetti and fireworks celebratory animation when you place your first trade.” This is literally just for the first trade, and you never see it again, pretty much a part of new user onboarding experience. I had no memory of this animation at all, because i saw it only once and years ago (if it was even implemented back then).

Using it for trading is the exact same as using Fidelity, except with RH i dont need to go through bajillion nested menus and clicks to perform something as simple as selling an option i already hold.
