> "system" denotes something which was designed to work as a whole.

I don't agree that systems have to be designed.

I mean, it depends on what you mean by "system" - was The Capitalist System designed? Who designed it? The atmosphere is a system, by most standards; it wasn't designed (or if it was, I'll shoot the designer). The human brain has most of the properties I'd expect a "system" to have; but hopefully you share my view that it wasn't designed.

But I'm not really bothered what a "system" is. I was just having a rant about words that used to mean something specific, until they were borged by lazy opinion-formers and made into cliches, rendering them useless for their original specific denotation. C.f. "epicenter".

(This seems to be a thing I care about more than other people; discount my remarks accordingly)
Rivian | Full-Stack Software Engineers / Frontend Software Engineers | Remote (USA) or Irvine, CA or Palo Alto, CA or Normal, IL | https://rivian.com | FULL TIME; REMOTE

Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract.

I'm looking to hire Software Engineers to build out web applications (node/react) that support our Manufacturing Engineering org. Really interesting problems to solve, a great team to be a part of, and an exciting space to be involved in.

Ideally looking for Senior to Staff level engineers, but open to speaking to Software Engineers (2+ years of experience) and Senior Staff and above. Multiple positions open.

You can be based in one of our offices (Irvine, CA - Palo Alto, CA - Normal, IL) or you can be remote in the continental USA.

Job Posting for all positions - apply here to start the process regardless of whether you are higher or lower than Senior level, or if you're more Full Stack or pure Frontend:

> OK, but if the legit banks are actually asking you to read back 2FA codes on the phone"... I assume you include a 2FA code as a "password" since that's what we're talking about... you'd just refuse to talk to them when they call you about potential fraud? Find a new bank that doesn't do that?

You find independent corroboration of what they're telling you. If the only evidence you can find in your account that something went wrong is what someone is telling you over the phone, it's almost certainly itself an attempt at fraud.

If you can't, reveal nothing and reach out to them separately (call the bank back) to find out more.
So this results in a single wavefunction constrained to a particular space group[1]?

This is really eye opening. Thank you for sharing!
Though I feel the military & the Marines specifically might be an outlier and not a valid comparison
Money is a really bad example, in that its utility/value is defined by consensus of people who are not you. If the market for $currency crashes, your money is not worth anything, regardless of where it is. If no one wants to do business with you, your money is worthless even if you hold it.

The concept of "mine" is not well defined in money. Perhaps the proof of having a debt can be in your hands, but the debt itself (=money) is a contract between parties, and owned as much by you as the society.

So I'm not really sure what point your example illustrates.
Divisability is often related to fungibility in that the ability to divide a resource is a way to create fungibility (e.g. the sea of oil is split into barrels)

SEEKING WORK | Remote only, based in Europe

I do electronics, end to end (design from idea, part selection, layout, prototyping, testing, enclosure design). Lately I've been working mainly on adapting existing designs to the new reality of part shortages. If you have a device that you can't produce due to part shortages I might be able to help you redesign it for the current availability situation. Of course I'm also more than happy to help with new devices.

I won't work on weapons, advertising, cryptocurrencies or automotive (for motivation on the latter, see my analysis on the reason for the component crisis here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26931498 )
Tesla's stock is definitely soaring but here's what they have underneath:

1. A very popular electric vehicle business (#1 & 2 best-selling EVs, top 10 across all vehicles)

2. A popular home sold and battery provider (3rd in the U.S.)

3. A large and popular EV charging network

4. A large collection of patents, software, manufacturing capabilities, and contracts for the previous three points

Shareholders are still seeing a lot of growth potential but if the market takes a downturn the floor of that value is still quite substantial, especially since the world is turning hard to EVs. Even the bad hypothetical scenarios are something like Toyota buys them at a lower price than shareholders want, not utter disasters.

In contrast, here's the sole value behind almost all cryptocurrencies:

1. How much the community thinks someone else will pay for a token

The floor is $0.00 because cryptocurrencies are the most distilled form of fiat currency with a very weak backing. Nobody is required to use it and almost everyone has alternatives which are at least as easy and affordable so it's possible to end up in the case where simply nobody is interested buying in your particular set of random hashes at any price, or where the cost of operating the network exceeds that value.
Sort of... They are used at scale to share and ingest data between services, for things like recommendations, etc. But it is messy, a lot of the ontology is more or less the same but every company/database does things slightly differently.

Most of the difficulties are with matching artists and content across different databases, which is a separate issue. The ontology itself is tangential, but one example where it's important (even if it's not a fully / cleanly solved problem).
Ivermectin is useful for control of parasites in humans (1) and other animals such as horses, but the grandparent is also correct, people are "literally buying and ingesting products intended for livestock" - from the veterinary aisle (2), and self-administering random doses not safe for humans, with bad consequences (3). It's sheer lunacy to do that. If it was effective for COVID-19 (a virus, not parasite), then medical staff would be administering correct doses.

This just means that you thought of something in the test suite that wasn't in the spec. You can underspecify something.
Nature link says the drug targets RdRp specifically which is a type of RNA copying mechanism (mostly?) confined to viruses. Wikipedia says about RdRp:

> RdRps can be used as drug targets for viral pathogens as their function is not necessary for eukaryotic survival. By inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase function, new RNAs cannot be replicated from an RNA template strand, however, DNA-dependent RNA polymerase will remain functional.

Facebook Grilled by Senators over Its Effect on Children
Well one possibility is that, like chemotherapy or radiation vs. cancer, it's worth the risk. The body has DNA-repair mechanisms that could clean up the mess, if you're only taking the pill for a short time. The virus does not. Just a guess.
This drug helps the anti-tax after infection, but the vaccine helps others and only preventatively.

Also was this medication developed using "mRNA"? That "messing with your RNA" angle is hammered repeatedly in conservative circles - enough that some of my not-right-wing neighbors are worried about it (like, go ahead and vax, but not for the children!!).

This was one of the first wins for IPv6. I had a Hurricane Electric tunnel on my FiOS link and was able to bypass the bottleneck that Verizon set up for Netflix.

Maybe they couldn't get a doctor to prescribe them the human pill because of all the politicization so they took the "horse paste" version.

You seem to have first hand knowledge of all these people's situations, are you following people to the livestock supply stores or talking out of your ass from stories you read on Reddit?

Most people that I know have that have took Ivermectin were taking the human pill. Only on the internet and news media have I seen people talking about horse paste.

Also, some vet meds are okay for humans (as long as you dose correctly), yeah you shouldn't take them, but that doesn't stop some of my liberal friends I know from taking horse tranqs (ketamine).

I recently rewatched the Little House on the Prairie tv series. In the later seasons, Walnut Grove got an ice house that was built into the side of a hill that also doubled as sort of a holding cell/jail. People would get a huge cube of ice (looked roughly a cubic foot) and take it home. I had also heard of Jail being referred to as the "ice house" (and "big house" and "jail house") and was wondering if this is where it came from.

> from the Frenchmen who cut up the river ice

That answers another question I always had in the back of my mind on how they got the ice, so thank you!

It was also interesting to see the Typhus outbreak on the show and how it was handled, while I was sitting at home in the middle of a pandemic. I think the episode was even named "Quarantine."

>That is the dream.

It is? That sounds horrible to me. I don't want to have to constantly think about the ticking price meter every time I open a video. It also screws over anyone without means, or the developing world. The paid-for-by-advertising model lowers the barrier to entry and allows anyone, even those without change to spare, to participate.

I dislike ads, especially in their current state, but I dislike the "dream" you're describing even more.
Last time I kept up with this, it was some purposeful legal loophole. The drug that got approved, is not yet available.

I have a friend who is a nurse that's getting fired because she will not take the vaccine. She has patients that had adverse effects from the vaccine. I totally understand why she would not take it.
It is and isn't.

The type system will try to prove that a program will behave in some specific ways without needing to run the program. The "specific ways it behaves" is what I call "properties".

Property based testing will run the program and check as it is running that it behaves in some specific ways.

In the end, they both can be used to demonstrate that some properties of a program execution hold, but they go about it differently.

The type system will use logic over the code semantics and structure to assert that in all possible cases (combination of inputs) the property will hold.

The property based testing will use sampling to assert that in a lot of cases (combination of inputs), the property will hold.

Unless you can sample the entire input range in a property based test, you don't prove that it holds for all inputs, just for a large number of them. While type systems tend to prove for all inputs.

Also generally the type system will take less time to execute its reasoning over the code, than the property based test will take to run its sample set.
Thoughts on the license:

* as others have already said, it's way too cheap. $19 is an amount that's going to be annoying to get expensed in most decent-sized companies. Also consider how much it will cost to defend your rights, should a company use the software without paying.

* there's no specific detail about what paying for the license actually GETS a user beyond being allowed to "use" the library.

* AGPL is tricky for browser-based stuff: does serving unminified source count as "making source available"?
It's also known to be mutagenic in mammalian cells, see the link I posted in a reply to the parent.

> I wasn't the original poster.

Yea I saw that after I replied but left it bec you seem to agree with them but didn’t actually explain what they meant.

> It's not very constructive to post that someone is wrong, and not explain why they are wrong. How wrong are they

You’re right. I should have been clearer. You told an substantiated lie, that’s why you are wrong. Not asking for first principles, just honesty.

> Switching from one government granted monopoly to a duopoly is not progress. We need competition to force buyer's markets.

Agreed. But the previous model was neither accurate nor a free market so using it as an example of a free market doesn’t work, and is dishonest.

But really we’re getting way off track. I’d like to know how starting a new job where you’re getting paid more and ostensibly are productive is adding negative value.

My guess is that:

- anti-vaxxers will eagerly take the pill, but believe that Merck covered up Ivermectin's efficacy to get this drug to market. the claim the vaccine's EUA was held up by lack of evidence of such pills will be memory holed

- the pro-mandate authoritarians will swallow the pill (figuratively, pun intended) when the powers that be celebrate this as a success and it begins being widely deployed.

in other words, we all win. the failure mode is if a divisive political figure takes a strong position on the pill being safe or not safe. fortunately I don't see this happening.

I believe the reason the trial was in unvaccinated people, was so that it would have a big enough signal to detect quickly. If you did the same trial with vaccinated subjects, it might still be making a 50% reduction in hospitalization, but it would take a lot longer to detect that. I don't think the idea is to only give it to the unvaccinated.

rationalwiki? FYI, citing rationalwiki in a debate is a big red flag in terms of taking the argument seriously.

And in this instance, it's also completely unnecessary to your point. So please don't cite these types of radical sources when making innocuous points. It would be like if I was having a debate about average rainfall, and said something like, "Well, according to the UnabomberFanSite, the average rainfall is 3 inches". It's just so needlessly inflammatory and provocative that your best bet is to cut that out and replace it with a more mainstream source.
Unnecessarily negative, do you also kick puppies on the way home?

I looked and it is decent, but needs polish. Which it will get unless broken people keep shitting on it.
Yes. I have written both of them, mostly to make sure I trigger 100% of people, no matter if they like offline first or not.

I mean, read all these comments on both articles. People say offline first does not work, then they say that every software is offline first by default and it is nothing new.

It was totally worth it spending two 3 days on it :)
The jokes need to be funny of course, not just sexist remarks.

You also have to know to whom you can say what. My close friends at work can be very brutal, and I return the favor ;). But you cannot do that to casual colleagues, or people you know that don't like such things.

My best friend is 2m tall, so I also know all those jokes. But that doesn't stop us from annoying him now and then :D.
