Reminds me of official aviation-speak where "takeoff power" means firewall the throttle, for things like taking off. Until one day the copilot heard it as "take off power" and chopped the throttle, resulting in a crash. Military aviation had to learn that the hard way, too.

These sort of mistakes seem stupidly obvious, but it's only when you see it. For example, on Windows 95 the "turn off" button was infamously labeled "Start".
This is something I've entirely thought about and likely suffering from.

That being said, I am trying some other remedies before I take Androgel or Androderm and they seem to be slightly helping.
I seem to recall hearing somewhere on HN that some ISPs even turn CGNAT on for IPv6 connections (in fact, I'm pretty sure AT&T's LTE has it). I have no idea why, other than people being so used to packets not routing to their local box that they've disabled their firewalls.

The people who made that decision probably went to the same school that told network admins to disable IPv6 on VPN connections.
My question was have contract tracing apps overseas performed significantly better than the QR based systems used in Australia (instead of COVIDSafe). Neither of these links seem to show that.

The first is a criticism of COVIDSafe. I agree it was crap, but have Bluetooth based contract tracing actually worked well to prevent outbreaks anywhere? Is it actually better than QR code based systems?

The second paper you link at least attempts to model this but it’s just that, conclusions drawn from a simulation. In practice there have been many more cases and deaths in Washington State alone than all of Australia, and that’s without adjusting for the much larger population in Australia.
the CO2 is converted to methanol not methane. theoretically 3 equivalents of dihydrogen (which you need energy to produce) are needed per CO2. the hydrogenation requires veery high concentrations of CO2 (energy needed to concentrate it) and H2 so from the energy point of view it is not that good. however from the point of view of bio-engineering it is a really nice result
An unpaid sabbatical just isn't in the cards for me at the moment.
I switched off of Emby to Jellyfin a fairly long time ago. It’s pretty good. I’ve had some annoying issues upgrading my instance over time, but otherwise it generally works. The ecosystem is also a bit young, but I have no huge complaint about the apps. Finamp is pretty nice for example; it’s a Jellyfin client optimized for music playback.

> There is a list of reasonable exemptions including work related travel.

Don't you think that you should've caveated your original comment with the fact that you need a specialized exemption to be able to leave?

Every other account I've read besides yours says that these exemptions are difficult and onerous to get, including for extreme cases like family emergencies. And even if you're granted one, trying to come back is still a very messy and expensive affair. As per the article's point — only available to the more privileged classes.

Here's an article from July [1] that has the numbers for June: out of 34,616 exemptions applied for, 14,522 were granted. That's about 40%.

Yes, and what happens when the content of Wikipedia, through neglect, gets out of date or (negligently or maliciously) wrong? Imagine the following:

Siri: "Macedonia is a geographic and administrative region of Greece, in the southern Balkans"
I simply don’t finish work if I am spent. If I do, then I am worse the next week. I have the luxury of only needing to take care of myself.

Ask to hire for help. The business case is: either you break down, and the company loses a valuable person, or they get extra hands and can resume business operations. And while you’re at it ask for a pay raise because you were likely underpaid.

Ageism sucks. See if you can look younger or see if you can work at a company of a linkedin connection.

Right, imagine an army of androids rampaging through the streets snatching cigarettes and junk food out of people’s mouths. Perhaps we’d see public executions of Zuckerberg along with cigarette company executives and various figures from the military industrial complex, etc. etc.
My definition of growth mindset is the same as yours.

I don't identify with it so much as I think of it as my baseline. Does this mean my baseline has changed? Absolutely.

It's still irksome because I too enjoyed looking for opportunities to improve myself or the methods I use to get things done. Now, I just don't give a fuck.
That's not necessarily true. In determining priority categories, Congress is free to delegate that power to USCIS, the Secretary of Labor or another official or agency.

It's worth nothing that all H1Bs are technically priority occupations. Part of the process is to receive a labor certification that demonstrates you, as an employer, were unable to fill the position with a US citizen or permanent resident.

That itself is a whole can of worms because the system is heavily gamed to ensure that many such positions remain technically unfulfillable locally. For example, advertising such jobs where people are unlikely to find them and apply for them (eg in newspapers).

Now for big tech jobs, that need is genuine. For the body shops, it isn't. Despite attempts in the system to ensure such jobs are paid a fair market wage, they are not. The only people who take them are those Indian nationals who are so desperate to emigrate to the United States that they are willing to endure pseudo-indentured servitude for possibly decades if they and their family can have a better life.

That's a noble goal to be sure but we shouldn't enable employers to take advantage of them so. Even worse, in doing so, they're costing genuinely good jobs in big tech because of the lottery system.

I absolutely love this nick
Very presumptuous of me to say this, but I wonder if the "brick wall" is a non-technical PR type who has been put in the center of many very technical questions, and has realized that his/her boss doesn't yell at him/her if he/she simply doesn't respond very much to external queries.

It can be hard when your job mostly consists of talking to extremely knowledgable people (such as many researchers in this field are) without yourself being at least broadly knowledgable on nearly everything technical.
Depends what the person's employment contract says. 95% of the time, the inventor is required to assign all rights to inventions related to the companies' work to the company.

So you have inventor: Steve Wozniak; assignee: Apple Inc.

Assignment allows the owner to be different from the inventor.
currently the australian police are only beating already defeated non violent protesters. Shooting them in the back with 'non lethal' ammunition. Beating people on the ground with the butts of their guns, or kneeing them from a run. Any of those things could already lead to deaths. The state intervened to make sure no one could livestream events, or cover them from the air, to protect their shock troopers from consequences of their actions for the state. Give them some time and no punishment and who knows where it will go, except that it will escalate.

It's not currently the same, but it has many similarities. Government out of control, state brutality against innocents. If none of the australian police are punished for their behaviour it will escalate because that is the nature of people.

There is a reason people fetishized liberty, but it seems many forgot.
That's being tried [1]. Although, it's not going well [2].

While it's true that in some societies some women were in position power, it does not mean that woman as a class eschewed domination.
IIRC in the Iroquois confederation, women were organized as one of society's pole, the economic domestic one, and had power in times of war because war needs the collaboration of the whole society. It is also hard to say if that they had always had that power or gained it during war times. In any case, they were/are statistically rare.

Also although many societies are matrilineal it does not means that the society is not male dominated.
It is a sad conclusion of anthropology that the, often times ruthless, domination of women by men has been for a long time a constant of human history.

This is highly likely and is worthy of much more research on my end.

Thank you for reminding me of this!
Another Melburnian here, agree with what you’re saying.

I’m surprised that so many people on HN have such a warped perspective on what’s going on here, and even when multiple people from Melbourne post in this thread about their own experience living here, they’re told that they’re misinformed.

Yes there are problems in Australia, but it’s not about to become a facist state.
Eddie Murphy’s joke about relationships boiling down to the other person asking ‘well what have you done for me lately’ is pretty much the gist of many careers. I’m pretty sure I shipped some impactful stuff this year, but lately, well - what have I done for the company lately?

This can work in two ways. The first is you can be a victim of this and feel betrayed. The second is, you just have to realize another chance will come along where the thing you did most recently will be recognized.

It’s like poker hands. Don’t think you suck because you got a bunch of bad hands in a row. Don’t bet on those hands, and don’t bluff. Just wait until you are ready, because those face cards and pocket aces are coming.

Take it easy (and take that nap).

"need to" is a bit much. One should absolutely regenerate keys but to every attackers delight (and every CISO's chagrin), that doesn't make it actually happen. For things that need to be secure, (forced) expiration of keys is an important part of the system as a whole.
Lots of factors could be at play indeed. I'm certainly not an expert, but if I read correctly, the man has disbanded parliament and ruled by decree since two months, publicly announcing his disregard for the constitution. To me, that does not count as democratic anymore.

> and at least 40% of my time would still be dev work

that's not management, that's a leadership position.

if in doubt when they offer you a management position ask what the budget for the role is, if it's none, you'd be just either a secretary doing the grunt work for some other real manager (nowadays known as "middle management") or a lead they gave a sounding title in lieu of the dangling carrot.
In contrast to most people in this thread, I don't find Jellyfin to be an all-around great experience. Maybe because I run the JF client on a Google Chromecast, and the "Jellyfin for Android TV" app is very unstable. I get roughly one crash a day, mostly when restarting a movie-watching. The UI is okay, but there are a lot of small annoyances (why is there no "restart from beginning" button? Why can't I use the "wheel/cursor thing" on my remote to go forward/back?, why does it so often fail to automatically recognize/parse filenames, or download cover art? Why can't a folder contain both movies and tv series?).... All in all, it's mediocre at best, but I'm still glad it exists: despite everything, I still use it over other alternatives, because it's open source and works well enough. I can live with having to restart the client every now and then.
The Stroop Effect is the first thing I thought as well. "Mixed signals" like this just increase cognitive load and lead to more errors.
People argue a lot about governments making decisions they disagree with, but something that I think is under-appreciated is the damage from unpredictable decisions. If you know how the government is going to act on some issue, for better or for worse, then you can make plans around that. What do you do if their future actions are an ever-shifting mystery? A few examples come to mind:

1. The Keystone XL oil pipeline was proposed in 2008. Construction was blocked by the Obama administration, unblocked by the Trump administration, and then re-blocked by the Biden administration, at which point the company trying to construct it gave up. In total, this process took 13 years and huge amounts of money, and nothing came of it. If there had been clarity and consistency in the government's policy here, the thing would either have been approved or rejected much sooner -- and either would have been a big improvement on what actually happened.

2. Covid-related rules have had much more harmful side-effects than they would have had if they were easier to predict. Rules surrounding masks, distancing, indoor and outdoor dining, and so on, all seemed to change a lot more frequently and arbitrarily than necessary in most places. To change the rules when the evidence and situation changes is one thing; changing them in seemingly random ways for dubious reasons is another. Even if the reasoning behind the decisions were consistent and well-thought-out, which is doubtful, there are advantages to having a predictable but sub-optimal policy rather than jerking everyone around in pursuit of perfection.

3. There are some federal student loan debt forgiveness proposals currently being considered in the US. I don't know how much, if any, will pass. If I were still in college, this would make me wonder: should I use money from a job to help pay my tuition, or just keep it? If I just take out more loans instead, and those loans get forgiven through a stroke of political luck a few years later, that's free money in my pocket -- but if that doesn't pan out, I'd end up paying a lot more interest. Whichever way Congress decides, I'd be better off knowing in advance -- but probably won't have that option, since the proposals seem to be (mostly?) retroactive in their design.

4. Finally, today's topic. If you apply for a green card, what are the odds that the paperwork just doesn't get processed? This is the kind of thing that would be really nice to know in advance, one way or the other.

Without expressing an opinion on what the decisions should be in any of these cases, I'll say: there's no decision so bad that unpredictability can't make it worse.
Common knowledge facts about Leverage Research 1.0
Let us please dispense with the moral ambiguity of our view of the Soviet Union.

They was also an 'ally' in WW2, I think 'enemy of my enemy' would be a more apt term.

The Soviets were an authoritarian mass murdering regime (Stalin murdered 4-5 million on purpose in Ukraine, but that's just one small item on the list) that already ruthlessly ruled much of Central Asia, and the only reason the Czechs, E. Germans, Poles, Romanians, Hungarians etc. were in the 'Warsaw Pact' was due to forcible acquiescence at the point of a gun: those states were nation-sized prisons, forcibly monitored by Stasi or Stasi-like forces, who were in turn monitored by the KGB, in very draconian terms.

Meanwhile, NATO was made up of very willing participants.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, we can see where those states more or less landed in terms of alignment.

The Soviets were all over the world trying to take control of individual government groups, providing money, intelligence, weapons etc. in order to take direct control of government, and have them controlled in much the same manner they did Poland, Hungary etc.. and where they were successfull it was bad.

The American model exemplified by US support of House of Saud is excessively benign: don't attack the US or the world order, don't align with the Soviets or China, sell your goods to whoever you want but at free market prices, maintain stable governance ... and that's that. In Chile, Afghanistan, Cuba, Venezuela, problems 'came to ahead' due to very direct influence of the Soviets and we're still reeling from it to this day.

Not to overstate things entirely, but during the Wiemar Republic, Stalin had complete and direct control over the German Communist party, who had ~17% of the Bundestag, and they had their own 'thug forces' out there beating people up, killing police (on a couple of occasions). Needless to say, could you imagine some antagonizing foreign dictatorship directly controlling 17% of UK Parliament or US Congress? I wouldn't say that was a primary cause of anything, but at least pretty big driver of what followed.
> This definitely a very opinionated view on what is logic.

It is by definition, not opinion.
Not that I'm in support of this.

But I believe that is what a lot of people on Dems' side support: open borders and accept anyone from mexico.
Fedora Silverblue is becoming interesting as well, especially with "Toolbox" a tool that lets you quickly spin up relatively isolated containers as long-lived development environments, separated from the main OS-installation.
I work for a big company (F500), and one thing that always bothers me is the out of nowhere Slack messages that are three paragraphs long, by someone I have never met within the company. If I start helping them right away, they are happy to keep me online for the next hour while my flow is gone, god knows where.

I am trying to find the nicest way to say: "This should be an e-mail conversation, please send email.", but I wish I could somehow start an email draft that is saved and shows up in some to-do list somewhere.
I started taking some Ashwaganda and experienced positive effects so far. Give it a try, maybe it works out for you as well
Touché :)

Though I'd still argue that the presence of both `==`/`!=` and `===`/`!==` is somewhat more indicative of flexibility than awfulness.
That makes so sense. When they say "it's safer than a human", that should definitely translate to a smaller insurance cost than a human driven car.

I've seen various Tesla models that just use a single horizontal line of LEDs (either amber or red on color) for their turn signals in the US.
Australia should get something akin to the USDS (https://www.usds.gov/) that acts as a third party contractor/advisor to the federal and state departments.

Very cool, though I'd imagine you'd have a pretty good chance of success at just sending the power over that 110m ethernet span.
I'm not sure I understand the significance of this library.

Can it help implement something like a Visual Studio Code Language Server?
No, this is not what's being talked about. That's a deceptive chart, not their idea of Bullshit Visualization's. It's an example of the minority of bad charts, as your link shows it gets jumped on quick.

This from your article is a better example -

https://theatlas.com/charts/HkBllCLO7

What does that mean? Is it CPI? Is it consistent with worlds prices? Because of inflation prices go up over time. It goes up over time. Is the chart saying anything?

Here's a good example of Bullshit Visualization's - https://xkcd.com/1138/

It's things you'll see in the media/PR Journal articles that are nothing but look pretty and give a story a feel of authority when it shouldn't.
Like Uyghur. I absolutely hate anglophone reporting in their plight because of how they butcher that name into oblivion.

You can think of it this way: the goal is to kill the king, but the last two half-moves are trivial, so they are not actually played.
> QR based systems used in Australia (instead of COVIDSafe)

I deeply feel that QR should have been built into COVIDSafe as well as use GAEN. That way at least the collected data would have been protected by strong federal legislation vs the early days where businesses were asking people to "checkin" to their marketing platforms and the data was used to harvest email addresses.
Same. And this is also what I teach junior engineers to do. If there are any unknowns, double it to 6x. No one will be upset if you deliver early.

Without any real name or organization and the usual '"scientists" say that' bullshit plus the usual "9 Yo girl cute history" to appeal to feelings... I will assume that this is just either wishful thinking or a PR stunt.
Apple checking for malware is great. Their million militant little rules less so, which caused OPs rejection.
20-30%? Yeah thats bad and I know why. You guys think you are producing cars when in fact you are designing cars. Ask yourself the following question: what would you do if you were managing a tier 1 soccer team? Would you treat every player equal? No. You would let each talent play where its good at. Stop thinking your engineers are replaceable. You are not in a factory.

In short, there is someone in your team who knows how to estimate. Find him. Find who is good at what and use their f-ing talent.
Build Something Unambitious
I don't know what else to say? I've seen them on cars. They really aren't confusing. They've been around for like a decade. Nobody seems to actually have a problem with them. Only people looking at photos of them on a website and discussing on a forum seem to be irate about it.
