Do you believe people are responsible for spreading STDs? If you had sex with a partner that was suffering from an STD but they either didn't get tested themselves or did not inform you of their STD, would you consider them irresponsible?

If you would, then why not consider the same about the vaccine?

By any reasonable standard, just like you're not allowed to smoke indoors because it hurts others, you're not allowed to be indoors with a potentially lethal disease that can kill others. It's that simple. You can choose to not be indoors with others, or you can choose to take a vaccine to eliminate that risk. But it's not your right to choose to risk anyone else's life by being around them in a closed environment while potentially infected.

How? Because I don't let implausible and unfounded claims go unchallenged?

I get the feeling that you wouldn't be quite so irritated with me (or at least less inclined to contribute nothing but namecalling) if you were capable of forming a coherent argument against what I wrote.
The more I read about all the excuses obese throw out the more I realize they have so much in common with the anti vaxx do my research in on Facebook crowd.

OP said "paid $100M" but now you're talking about tax rates. Why?
Yes, I'll go ahead and say that. I have no idea what this does. It would be a lot clearer as loops.
Doesn't make it better. Look at what gitlab and many others that already have transparent wages do.

They justify paying you less for the same work because of your location. So you are as qualified as someone else but make way less.

On the other side their products cost the same globally.
In fairness, it is Gitlabs wording the issue reporter is using. Check the error message.
> What about your expenses? Well, if you do the math, the above comes out to $79,200/year. You now have $46,000/year to save towards a house... which oh by the way, costs $1.5M at present day for a shack in Fremont. Oh, and forget about having kids too.

$46,000/year is a decent pre-tax annual household income in most of the country, and saving 20% of your income is doing very well for yourself. If you're putting that much away even after those inflated expenses (are you seriously paying $50/working day for your commute?) you're in no position to complain about your tax rates. The bay-area housing situation sucks, but that doesn't mean you're entitled to take out of the tax fund.
> As long as the ARM-community is fragmented

Why does this matter? If popular OS distributions consistently target ARM-based CPUs, with a sufficient number of packages (esp. development-support-related) working on them, then who cares about fragmentation? An organization could buy systems with ARM chips and software will basically "just work".

Same argument for consumer PCs, although there you have the MS Windows issue I guess.
Bonuses and RSU are part of a pay package. If transparency is required, it will include all forms. After all, the IRS already knows.

I like to put numbers to things. People give up freedoms when there is a chance they or many other people die. Look at 9/11, not only did we give up multiple freedoms, but subsequently killed many Americans and other civilians in the Middle East as additional fallout.

9/11 killed: 2,977 people (only during the attack, many more likely received cancer or long-term illness and side-effects)

COVID19 has killed (in the US): 664,000 people

Even if you make the argument that 90% of COVID deaths are people who were well past their life expectancy, or obese, or had other health conditions, then that leaves 10% who were otherwise perfectly healthy people who died directly because of COVID, and that is about 66,000 people.

So, by this extremely conservative estimate, COVID has killed ~22x the amount of people 9/11 did.

With that number in mind, do I personally feel like mandating the vaccine ("government tyranny"), or putting innocent people at risk ("dozens of deaths in young women due from clotting, ~1,000 confirmed cases of myocarditis in young people") makes logical sense?

I actually think, yes, it does, 66,000 is a lot of people, it's too many, the death rate of this virus is just too high. If the virus was less transmissible, killed less people, or showed signs of quickly fading away, I would disagree, but it seems like the vaccine is actually a fairly logical tradeoff in reducing needless loss of human life.

How does this tie to the original post? The reason the vaccine is mandated, is because it simplifies public signaling and policy decisions, otherwise too many would assume "natural immunity" is okay and forego the vaccine, even if they did not themselves have COVID, leading to more needless deaths.

Probably. But then that too will likely become public.

I forget which Scandinavian country this is true for but I think there exists a country where compensation is a matter of public record.

I support this 100%. I want everything to be transparent here. I know where I stand skills and competency wise compared to my colleagues so I will be ok making less than those I am less skilled or less productive as. That being said I think I’m underpaid. A transparent pay structure will only benefit the employees as we learn in Economics: the more information about prices there are in a situation the better each actor can make choices.
North American urban planning is absolutely terrible. The problem is that all proposals I've seen are still insufficient at preventing excessive greenhouse emissions. Perhaps I am wrong. Prove it by pointing to a single 100k city (or larger) that has sustainable greenhouse emissions, when including food & durable goods.
So..you're not getting a vaccine because of that? That's the reason? That?

That just sounds like being against the vaccine with extra steps. Because otherwise you wouldn't let what the government was trying to get you to do to affect your decision.

He was lying to reporters. Not to police or a judge.

You are under no obligation to not lie to a reporter.

My understanding is it's intertwined with national security issues. NOAA doesn't have the ability to demand a license from other nations, though there may be some treaty obligations they adhere to.
You're getting downvoted because, I assume, you didn't include the possibility of magic as a an explanation in your analysis.

Rookie mistake in these threads. While it may superficially seem like yours was the best explanation for lack of weight loss -- that OP made a simple error and over-estimated his caloric deficit (and further didn't adjust the deficit when receiving data to the contrary)-- what you need to account for are the "other factors" which currently exceeds our understanding of biology and physics.

Using these 'other factors' it's possible to do everything right, and still not lose weight (through no fault of your own).
I'd be back where I started if the government told me not to get it. Curious, debating it, but also completely unsure if it's any better than what I already have—natural immunity.

This reminds me of Astral Codex Ten's (fka SSC) series on the ontology of psychiatric conditions. Basically, you're often faced with the question of whether something is a binary condition you have or don't have which then translates into a more continuous expression of symptoms, or whether it's more like a spectrum where the extreme outliers are deemed "ill" and the rest is just character differences.

It's interesting to think about the various ways to model this, and in many of your cases, the most reasonable model probably depends a lot on context or what it's used for/what statement you're trying to make.

Radioactive material in the ground water or food cycle would be much worse than anything related to coal burning. And there are several ways for it to get there unless there is an iron tight fist of regulation and compliance. Even then, it has happened.

And your argument assumes replacing all fossil fuel with nuclear power, which means all the developing countries, all the dictatorships etc handling lots of radioactive material. I'm sure they'll all be responsible with it and not let anything spill over to other countries, right? And that's even assuming best intentions.

I'm not a fan of fossil fuels. I'm grudgingly on board with my countries plan because nuclear power is no sustainable option for us. Both politically and technologically. We can get rid of coal plants a lot faster than we can decommission nuclear plants and store the waste...

Lose to yaml/json for what purpose?

As an RPC protocol, JSON is lighter weight and maps more directly to programming structures.

As a config file format, YAML is a bit terser. Especially since most configurations are just key/value pairs. Though there's a growing backlash against YAML so I wouldn't count on this lasting.

As a document format... XML still wins? HTML is still (basically) XML. Lots of business data interchange is still XML. JSON is terrible as a document format, and YAML isn't even in the running.

> Second, thanks to the boom in working from home, big national companies that have at least one employee in Colorado now find themselves required to post pay levels for any remote role that could potentially be performed in the state. Some employers tried to get around the new rule by barring Colorado residents from applying for their remote positions. State regulators quickly clarified that such exclusions are illegal, and moved to crack down on them.

While I am a fan of pay transparency, something about this bothers me. Does Colorado actually have standing here?
I think you're just doing everything you can to avoid acknowledging any similarities in the situations. The two situations are not exactly identical in every way of course. But getting bogged down in this minutiae with these construction of rules is missing the point, and such precise rules have never been a feature of covid policies.

Mandating overweight people lose weight would benefit their own health and it would take pressure of the healthcare system. Pretty straightforward analogy.

Unrealised gains have always been a tax avoidance measure, if you swim with the sharks don't complain about getting bitten.

Honestly it's time to eliminate the whole concept of "realization". Even secondary-market shares are liquid enough to value reasonably reliably, or we could bring back in-kind taxation.
The frustration is mostly that people want to keep and eat their cookie. They want to get selected by productive teams and work with productive teammates, but they don't want to face the pressure associated with being a productive teammate themselves. Ultimately the pressure comes from yourself, you don't have to be better than the team you are willing to work with. If you want to work on a world class team then you now put world class expectations on yourself, if you are fine working on menial tasks then you don't have any issues at all not being productive.
New efficiency is easy, new effectiveness is not. So everyone focuses on the former with a lot of cookie cutter type recipes (management, their consultants, ...).

And Efficiency progress is so nicely measurable while it happens. Effectiveness you only see once you have it and not in a new organisation design.
This is exactly what people call out - "Yes we should raise taxes on the other guy, not me!".

> That kind of deficit should drop your weight by about 15 lbs in that time.

The fact that you think that there is a number like this shows you are using extremely old thinking about how even the CICO model works. There is no way to predict weight/gain loss amount based on calories across individuals.

Also, even if there is some error in BMR, calorie burn rate, calorie intake, I very much doubt it was `-1000 calories +- 1000 calories`. Exercising is at most 2-300 calories per day. If you are making an effort to count calories, you will notice if you're eating an extra 200 calories of food. So let's say from these that they were at 1000 +- 200. Unless they got their BMR extremely wrong, then something else was happening. And after a month, even if they were at a ~200 calorie deficit, they should have still noticed clear fat loss.
It's Norway. The system is pretty neat actually in a way that all salaries are _registered_, but if you query someone, the other end figures out who queried you. So in that way, the data is still protected from large-scale scraping and has a slight reputation impact.
> They justify paying you less for the same work because of your location. So you are as qualified as someone else but make way less.

But now you have that info when applying to the job and it's up to you if you consider that fair or not. So far until now it was a (probably known) secret.

Information is power.
It's a monopoly enforced by government though. What if EVERYONE would be allowed to build a home himself on his very property, without asking the government for allowance? Maximum size though is restricted to, say, 30m² / person, so certainly larger than a tiny home but certainly not overly spacious.

He/she must take care for sewage him/herself and he/she has no right to claim power supply or water supply to this home.

Actually no. LSD is a direct-acting sympathomimetic drug; it directly binds to serotonin and dopamine receptors to activate them.

Amphetamines, like all phenethylamines typically, are not direct-acting sympathomimetic, but indirect-acting; amphetamines elicit their effects through blockage and reversal of NET and DAT, the norepinephrine and dopamine transporter proteins. They are, however, TAAR1 agonists, which is currently thought to be partially responsible for regulating downstream effects on dopamine neurotransmission.

LSD is best described as a lysergamide.

> Being fat isn't contagious.

Being vaccinated doesn't mean you are not contagious.
There are all sorts of things that control weight gain/loss outside CICO. Most notably, BMR can vary wildly with hormonal and endocrine issues. It's not at all improbable that BMR can be affected significantly by dieting in some individuals, a priori. It could also be affected by other lifestyle changes that happened together with the dieting, such as medication.

It depends a bit on interpretation: if you pay 15, you of course have also 5 fewer in your pocket, so the 5 fewer can be included in the 15 fewer, than it's correct.

You just argued in the same comment that a person who is supposedly rich should downgrade on their life style so that they can afford a certain housing situation. That is not being "rich".

You're not rich if you can forgo thinking about money for only one month.

Being rich is when your job is just for influence and power and not the salary. Being rich is when you can fly from your vacation home in one exotic destination to another exotic destination. Rich is when you have a million dollar painting hanging on your wall that your grandfather acquired in the 1920s for $500. Rich is when you don't even have to think about whether you can afford the private school for all three children with 50k tuition per year each and when you don't even have to think about budgeting for any of it. Rich is when you have a maid at home and a private chef living on your estate. Rich is when your wife can buy the $5000 dress for a one time party and it's not even a wedding or anything special. Rich is when you can afford to hire a doctor to come to your house in this economy. If you live in a 2 BR apartment I don't care how luxurious it is. You're not rich.

If you make less than $500k a year and you don't invest 90% of it you don't even have a chance at being rich in your life time.

We're 10 years away from everyone being a millionaire because inflation is really that high but the difference between barely eking out a 1.1 million dollar net worth based on all your assets and living in a 50 million dollar house may as well be the difference between flying at 30,000 feet and being in actual orbit.
Gitlab recently exchanged the "WIP" prefix for merge requests (Work in Progress = started to do something but didn't complete it yet) for "Draft", which has connotations of throwing the draft/sketch away to build the final product.

Which is definitively not what is meant there. But I think it shows that Gitlab is not a company I'd go to if I wanted linguistic precision.
