Not only that, but this article is being held up by Microsoft as the end all, be all of answers. No one answer fits all jobs. For quite a few coders, working at home while communicating over Teams (Microsoft) is a better fit, but for the execs and producers, of course they do better face to face in a dynamic group setting. Artists probably do as well.

Talking to your team and seeing what works best and looking at productivity metrics is probably a really good place to start =[
I would say it's worth debating because it is an inexact and unsound principle on which recent education is built on.

More than that, in the Romanian Master's cycle, if you want to continue your pedagogical studies such that you become a high school teacher, there is an entire course dedicated to learning styles and there is one more dedicated on the other infamous inexact-semantics concept, the multiple intelligences theory.

So I would argue that it has a similarly bad effect on the education domain to any other arbitrary first-principles that lead to sub-optimal research and lack of clarity of what is really going on in some domain, which lead again to sub-optimal methods.

Regarding your observation about how some kids simply learn better after seeing some visual representation of the concepts, there could be many reasons for this (they start paying attention when you draw, they fall somewhere on the Bell curve such that they need that extra representation to get it, as the Veritasium video also presents with the memory experiment), but I would doubt that persistent learning styles of your students would be the differentiator, which is what the video discredits (https://youtu.be/rhgwIhB58PA?t=438).

> the classes they teach are easily the equal of the most interesting college courses I took at a very well regarded university

If they can handle this, then they could take college level classes and get high school credit and college credit at the same time.

I went to an alternative high school that met on a community college campus and had 50% of the requirements for HS graduation for junior and senior year served by taking college courses. I was only able to get about half a year of college credit this way, but I was able to get half a year head start on college. In hindsight, I would have liked to start that process a year earlier and skipped as much HS as I could. I don't think that path is for everyone, but if you're capable and motivated I recommend exploring alternative pathways for reducing the traditional HS experience in favor of more profitable uses of time & talent.
> My suspicion is that you either can't actually do this, or that the staff have been instructed to make this difficult.

No I imagine they're extremely polite when you try to remove it - that way that get the charge from most people, and the few who actually care about 5% this way or that way will remove it and if you're polite to them you can try to avoid angering them while still getting it from the people who don't care.
HCQ is still considered effective for early treatment, but Ivermectin appears effective in later stages of treatment. You can read all the peer reviewed science for yourself at c19ivermectin.com and c19hcq.com

A good infograph of the two are on the front pages if you cycle through the images, but I'll link them here,

ivm: https://c19ivermectin.com/plot/ispae2.png

hcq: https://c19hcq.com/plot/spae2.png

You can see that in early stage treatment HCQ is effective, but not as much in later stage treatments. Also, Ivermectin doesn't have side effects as strong as HCQ from what I understand.
No true anymore.

When I grew up in Germany you had to tell your server to their face when they brought the bill how much you want to tip them. Granted, base price includes reasonable service so tips are smaller but still always seemed unpleasant to me.

Now, living in the US I got used to putting the tip on credit card bill or leaving as cash (rarely any more), which is a bit better since I have more control over the tip amount although I wish servers got better base pay and tips were smaller.

The Square terminal approach actually seems pretty good to me, I feel totally fine leaving a smaller or no tip for counter service or larger for Covid times, etc. Once you get used to the UI it takes 5s to enter custom tip.

Even if we accept that risk is higher for others (which I am not), it does not follow that the vaccine should be mandated especially for a cohort where we know that not only is COVID not a meaningful risk for them, the vaccine itself puts them at higher risk. It is unethical to put these people at risk for the good of others. That is utilitarian and instrumentalizes human beings for the good of others. You can argue that they should have the option, but they should not be forced for someone else's good.
> The first two organizations are almost the same thing as the core team, for all practical purposes (unless you're a lawyer, say). There is very significant overlap in membership. A cosy arrangement, certainly. I imagine that this structure was based on certain practical considerations. Legal advice about IP and whatnot.

You acknowledge, yet fail to see the problem. That these two entities overlap so much is a very bad thing, and definitely a liability if things turn bad from a legal perspective.

This is one of the issues I have been calling for reform for many years. I understand how things evolve; but when problems are recognized, then it's time to fix them.

If we all agree (we do!) that a single entity should have all the IP for the project, that's what needs to be. "cosy" is not a valid reason for keeping the current status quo.

Actually, if you read the terms how our proposal to Core, we're ready to hand the trademarks if a not "cosy", but a solid, legal structure is established. Which doesn't exist today. And we consider this puts the project at risk.

Genuine questions, how do companies like Mailchimp get started then?
I was poking around the github of the OpenRA project - they have an RA2 mod project, but I can't speak for it's readiness. It's not advertised on their homepage, so guessing "not ready".

From an official standpoint, I was able to pick up RA2 (not remastered) from Origin this summer. They make it incredibly difficult to find, and it's not part of the C&C Remastered Collection. But, I was able to pick up a collection of the non-remastered C&C games for $10 or $20. RA2 was a bit of a pain to get working in Windows 10. It took some manual tweaking to ini files, startup arguments, compatibility mode and manually reducing the game speed from very fast to medium to be playable (every game you start).
Beyond it's shortcomings, it doesn't really solve anything.

In your longer response https://postgresql.fund/blog/postgres-core-team-attacks-post... you say that the advantage of the Fundación over the core team is that it is protects against PostgreSQL being acquired:

> In other words: a PostgreSQL association may be turned into a cooking, or into an Oracle association; whereas Fundación PostgreSQL will always remain a PostgreSQL nonprofit, for the sole benefit of the PostgreSQL Community.

and

> If one of the main resilience strategies of the PostgreSQL Community is to have a distributed IP strategy, which protects it from being bought, why is one part of the Community legally threatening another part?

But I do not see anything in Articles 3 and 4 that addresses this. Suppose a majority of PostgreSQL developers were to accept job offers from Oracle and the Core Team decided to rebrand it as "Oracle PostgreSQL". I don't see anything in Articles 3 and 4 that would prevent the Fundación from recognizing Oracle PostgreSQL as the legitimate / real PostgreSQL. It simply talks about "the Open Source software known as PostgreSQL (www.postgresql.org)", and as you know, Oracle's MySQL is still known as "MySQL" and still is at www.mysql.org.

In fact, Articles 3 and 4 would obligate the Fundación to support Oracle, to contribute to Oracle, to assign copyright to Oracle if they added that requirement (the Fundación is required to contribute to PostgreSQL, and there is no clause saying "unless it requires assigning copyright"), to promote Oracle PostgreSQL, and so forth. Right?

That is to say, it seems to me that it is an advantage that PEU and PAC do not have any such commitment to stick with whoever happens to call themselves "PostgreSQL" today, and a disadvantage that the Fundación must convince the Ministry of Justice that Oracle's leadership of MySQL (which has been fine, not great but certainly MySQL is a usable product) has actually been so bad that the founding documents need to be changed.

(I am not much of a Postgres user, and I know basically nothing of how it runs, and I also know nothing of Spanish law, so I'm definitely not trying to say that you're wrong and they're right. I'm just trying to understand what your claim is and how it works.)

When we were a flat engineering team, profit-sharing and growing it was an amazing place to work because everyone was very good at their job and cared about making a lean and self-sufficient profit machine.

From 2015 on the corporatization took over, the flat hierarchy was completely discarded in favor of multi-tier CwhateverO monster departments, team fragmentation and purposeful reassignments, and basically a 100% annual employee count growth mandate.

That's also around when the big raises and bonuses stopped, and everyone was assigned to a role and level which has a set salary value range etc.

For me 2018 was the end of my patience for it, but I think some are trapped believing in an older version of themselves.
Some useful principles of unit testing
I have no particular take on the health of the Inuit diet; I bring it up mainly to indicate that there are people who do go essentially their whole lives on just a meat diet.

However your statistics there have way too many confounding factors to attribute anything substantial to the native diet. Infant mortality rates historically and remain (comparatively) very high. Alcoholism is rampant among Canadian indigenous people. Even among peoples who have similar diets such as e.g. Metis, Inuit and First Nations peoples, life expectancy is significantly different (this is before even getting into a comparison with other meat-eating cultures in the world).

There is virtually no signal here to determine the healthiness of an Inuit-style diet either way.
My ability to update my moral framework is based on an articulated logic path.

"Intuit to Acquire MailChmimp" -- awesome, I hear they're acquiring MailChimp too.
Taking it to the extreme is often a trivial way of creating a straw man.

My argument was about one specific service not being perfectly free of risk, and so there where clear boundaries inherent in the argument. You dismiss these boundaries and then act surprised the resulting argument is silly.

This makes me wonder what your stance is on boxes, as they too depend on imposing boundaries.
This is a very wrong take

The problem is that we're moving into a more and more digital world where it's not possible to even opt out. Estonia had their ID card photo database hacked.[0]

>A hacker was able to obtain over 280,000 personal identity photos following an attack on the state information system last Friday. The suspect is reportedly a resident of Tallinn.

>The culprit had already obtained personal names and ID codes and was able to obtain a third component, the photos, by making individual requests from thousands of IP addresses.

How do you protect yourself against that when the government requires you to have an ID card and puts you into the database? What happens when financial transaction logs get hacked or medical histories?

I'm skeptical about the efficacy of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine over longer periods of time.

I've still not heard a reasonable explanation about why this vaccine is expected to work long-term when the flu shot clearly does not. Especially since SARS-CoV-2 mutates faster than the flu virus.

Can anyone give me an explanation of why vaccines are touted for fast-evolving viruses like the flu and SARS-CoV-2?
Did you find further information? Would've been nice for the GP to point to a source or news item.
No offense, but you're either getting ripped off on the salmon or ordering a cut of steak that's the absolute lowest grade possible. Even decent steak is roughly double the price of salmon per oz. Something like waygu is 10x.

My read was that founders were self-taught coders, and that describes the friends who worked there as well.

Imposter syndrome is a bitch, when there's always someone better than you out there, so there's probably a lot of Kool Aid in making people feel like they've made it, are part of the tech party, and are valued employees.

And working customer-facing is always a cooler cocktail party gig than being a master of the universe behind the curtain at Oz. For some.

As someone susceptible to very similar social media addiction habits from the same media, I found that specifically circumscribing the content I consume from Youtube, HN, and Reddit helps a lot. I usually use RSS or build my own scrapers for sites and have them fetch new content every few minutes. That means I'm forced to consume content that I specifically opted-in for and I'm not in a constant consumption loop. For me that's enough distance that I can disengage easily, but enough connection that I feel social.

Having worked at a company that was acquired by Intuit, they gave fairly substantial retention bonuses that vested over the 3 years following the acquisition that ended up being about 4x the value of my original pre-acquisition stock options, though the retention bonuses varied greatly and not everyone got that much. So I’d expect that Intuit is taking care of the employees that are considered key to Mailchimp’s business.
That sounds like a great opportunity

Worse, they interpret their gestures and expressions as intentional and human -- the cat is smiling/laughing/frowning. Or the cat's failure to smile/laugh/frown (because it lacks the facial muscles to do so) are an indication of its cold, calculating nature. People interpret other people's expressions rapidly and instinctively and they unconsciously misapply this same skill to animals. Perhaps people on the spectrum understand animals better, a la Temple Grandin, not because they are more like animals, but because they aren't misapplying skills which they lack, mind blindness in this case being better than mind hallucinations.
The storm was absolutely rushed to market. That's actually the reason that the whole screen was a big physical clicky button. Existing BB software was designed around cursor based interaction, and cursors can both hover and click.

At least, this was the story as I heard it.
