Income taxes in most areas (at least in relatively wealthy countries) far exceed any VAT/sales/consumption taxes.

That's the main complaint I've heard - nomads don't pay local income taxes, but consume services more like a local than a tourist.
> And simply based on length of stay, a nomad is more likely to consume expensive services like medical care.

Unlikely. Age distribution of tourists is significantly older than nomads. Younger people require significantly less medical expenditure than older. Older people also take longer than average vacations.

Regardless, both nomads and tourists are generally covered by medical insurance.
The USPS needs to pre-fund their medical promises for retirees, but can't cancel those benefits without an act of congress... this is actually one of the unique bits. The private sector can just cancel those medical benefits at any time. Really those benefits should be shifted to Medicare and the burden should be taken off of the USPS.

Also, private companies need to pre-fund these retirement benefits too (with fewer general restrictions so they can change if they're having financial issues) but no other government agency other than the USPS has to.

The timing of the pre-funding legislation was also a little problematic because they had to rapidly catch up... this hamstringed their capital for about a decade so they put a lot of modernization initiatives on hold.

Then toss in a pandemic and the fact we're stuck with a sycophantic postmaster general and you've got a screwed postal system.

It's correct, but that point of view is not in contradiction with what I said.

You may imagine a macrostate as a state representing incomplete information. In order to uniquely determine the microstate, you need additional information proportional to the logarithm of the number of possible microstates.

I had a very traumatic experience at the start of 2020. I remembered reading studies like this in the past, so after it happened I played Tetris on my Switch for a couple of hours.

While I did deal with high levels of anxiety for a few months after, I haven't dealt with flashbacks or intrusive memories at all. At this point it feels like a distant memory that I don't really think about at all anymore.

N of 1, but it seemed to help in my case. When possible, I plan to do the same following traumatic events in the future.
> But modal editing is just a bad idea.

Citation please? I mean, from a personal point of view I'm mostly in agreement with you, but your post reads like a straw man argument with a non apology affixed. "Not trying to force you into anything" followed by "modal editing is just a bad idea" just reads like judgmental noise to me – can it can be backed up with actual research?

Meanwhile vim (and variants) exists and are hugely popular and so to me it seems that by definition modal editing can't be that bad an idea, or such multitudes of people simply wouldn't use these tools and they'd die out. Doesn't this kind of invalidate your argument?

I'm a staunch Sublime Text supporter myself, having paid license fees since 2011-2012 sometime. I've dabbled with vim and friends but never really "got it" – yet I don't presume that my inability to see the light means there isn't one to be seen.
In spite I disagree with his opinion (see for example [1]) I think it's important to keep the discussion as open as possible. The data in the article is real, and it's important to discuss it. I prefer to have a discussion about why the 20% in the submission title is a bad metric. Is it a bad metric? Why? (It looks like a result of a study that is not a RCT. It may be a good study, but I'm getting tired of reading non RCT to try to understand what they are doing and not been sure if it's a good or bad study.)

In this post I'm slightly concerned by the title. The guidelines ask to use the original title, that is "Pfizer's COVID-19 protection against infection may wane after 2 months, but it still prevents hospitalization and death for at least 6, new study finds" . It's too long.

You can be pessimist and use the first part, or optimist and use the second part. Both are opinionated reductions. The OP used a sentence somewhere in the middle of the article, that is also a possibility in case the title is too bad, but in this case it's also a very opinionated choice.

I multitask precisely as a multitasking OS does. It works reasonably well. This is to say, I do focus on one thing at a time and task-switch. When I task switch I store the state information I need to return to the prior task.

I generally keep a text document open all the time. When I have to task switch I write down where I am leaving the current task and what I have to do when I come back. Sometimes it is a couple of lines of text. Other times I have to add more to it.

For me this works very well. It avoids the issue of an interruption or having to deal with multiple things in a day killing your productivity because it takes an hour to get your brain back into the prior task.

Simple. Effective. At the end of the day it looks like you did multiple things simultaneously, just like a multitasking OS. In other words, my system tick is >= 1 hour, not milliseconds.
Curious, has any data come out about how hackers were initially able to breach SolarWinds build systems? The company kept trying to call this "an incredibly sophisticated attacker", and, to be sure, the payload definitely was, but despite following this pretty intensely I never saw more info about how the breach occurred in the first place.

> Apple's payment system offers no more leverage than a free disposable credit card that you can limit and cancel at any time. When Apple's payment system is the only option, its high fees (unfavorable terms) generate a huge amount of deadweight loss in the app economy.

> Currently, iOS users have little to no leverage against Apple. To make certain kinds of purchases in iOS, buyers must pay a large price premium to subsidize Apple's fee regardless of whether they prefer to do so.

Instead of chatting abstractly about high fees, why don't we put some numbers on the table? Apple Pay's "high fees" go to banks at 0.15% per transaction, or 15 cents per $100.¹

The IAP fee is not the same thing as Apple Pay. Apple Pay is a protocol for payment where neither Apple nor the store keep your credit card information. IAP is a revenue sharing agreement with Apple. Many people agree that the IAP is onerous, and as a business contract it is subject to various legal jurisdictions.

If you disagree with high fees, we should really be talking about the IAP and not Apple Pay.

> Apple's payment system offers no more leverage than a free disposable credit card that you can limit and cancel at any time.

I see this ordering of effects as backwards: first Apple uses its leverage, which derives from its hundreds of millions of more spendy users, and now we have Apple Pay, a private system of paying where even Apple does not store your credit card number on their servers, or other identifying information.² This differs from Privacy.com, where you may directly linking your debit account. Also note that you may wish to be careful when cancelling a "disposable" credit card when you have recurring charges.

An individual customer of insurance does not have leverage over the insurance company. As a collective, you have all the leverage, which in turn means more bargaining power for the insurance company. As an individual member of Costco, you have no leverage over Costco. As a collective, you have the only reason why Costco can demand better prices.

A solution I use for this is to keep 2 sets of data, one operational for the application and one for legal/financial requirements.

When an action such as a payment is taken, or the customer provides certain info that needs to be kept for legal purposes, two records are created. The former can be deleted at will by the user, the latter is completely separate and is kept for as long as needed to comply with laws/regulations.
I use the AdGuard extension too, with a Raspberry Pi running AdGuard Home which in turn uses NextDNS. I highly recommend every part of this setup, it's maintenance free, extremely reliable and I can't remember the last time an ad or tracker got through it.
Likewise, each monitor on my setup has a specific use case and allows me to interact between very different systems.

- On the right, all the maps I use for planning and tracking
- On the middle one, tables and databases and system tools, - On the left, communication feeds (email and chat).

I never "concentrate" on more than one screen at the time, but If I'm writing an email or I edit the database, I glance between screens to get the information I need.
Normally pensions are funded by investing, not by setting aside cash for the retirement of people who haven't even been hired yet. Even worse, they have to borrow to meet this requirement to hold cash they won't need for years, so now they're paying interest instead of earning it.

One tool that helped me a lot was learning about :h usr_01.txt.

I don't get this. I cannot remember ever not finding a business I wanted to contact because they were only on Facebook and I don't use Facebook. Sure, sometimes I only am able to find a phone number, but you know what, that is a great tool to use to contact a business.
I’m sure it did, because everyone wanted to know why Facebook and related things was down, at least that’s my honest take, I don’t think it’s all that significant

macOS apps are smoother than windows apps because microsoft forces JIT'd applications, which hurts both startup and UX, you can feel JIT doing work when there are animations / click on buttons, and installation is slow because it copies a shit ton of DLLs and a massive runtime

ive thought a lot about this recently and my opinion is its far less about the type of degree (ex: MBA, MS, MSF, etc.) and all about the brand name of the school.

in the past on several occasions ive seen hiring managers open to interviewing candidates with no relevant experience but simply because of the brand name. the brand name elicits a signal of quality that is hard to ignore (consciously or subconsciously) - that may change in the future but to this point my personal opinion is going to harvard, mit, yale, princeton, columbia, etc. is absolutely an advantage in getting "noticed".

imo paying out of pocket for an MBA from a mid tier or lower school is increasingly less useful, bordering on being completely neutral in terms of benefit while having substantial opportunity cost. certain scenarios (employer paid, necessary to break through glass ceiling, etc) can certainly change that calculus.

my personal experience (undergrad from a mid tier expensive private university in a large city, MBA from a state school) is that almost no one has cared about me having an MBA to this point, and the brand names of either school are nowhere near strong enough to get noticed. my MBA was a very unique program and I feel was very enriching but unfortunately others can't see that in a quick glance.

if I had to do it over again i would attempt to get a stronger brand name somewhere in my resume - whether undergraduate or graduate. in fact im considering further graduate study for that exact reason.
At the low end, bank accounts come with fees, and more importantly, the risk of fees. Many young people just starting out struggle, at least briefly, with keeping a balance above zero, and that's assuming they have an account that doesn't charge a monthly fee for existing below a certain minimum balance.

For those of us who have no trouble keeping positive balances, these issues might seem silly, but to people living at or near the edge, these are reasons enough to not even try to have a bank account. The check cashing place may be a ripoff, but they're never going to take my balance below zero. They will only take a piece of my income.

> Is 15 minute delivery any more exploitative than 2-day or even "regular" delivery?

Not inevitably but probably, because a stricter SLO introduces higher logistic optimization constraints. Those constraints are targeted prioritizing low costs and don't care about higher human-labor inefficiency.

For example, have more personnel more evenly distributed throughout the city, but they'll have more wait-times between deliveries. Is that wait-time paid for? Usually not.

A more relaxed SLO gives more room to aim for efficiency (bundling deliveries, sequencing routes) and thus it's easier to justify hiring someone full-time and in a stable and predictable work relationship.

I would recommend something like Algorand for receiving payments. Stable network (zero fork), fast settlement times, extremely low fees + carbon usage. Circle has a full API for receiving USDC payments on top of Algorand here:

https://www.circle.com/en/usdc-multichain/algorand

https://developers.circle.com/docs/getting-started-with-the-...

USDC can of course all be swapped across various chains. Probably the cleanest and fastest crypto API payment gateway right now.

On the Algorand side there's a React toolkit for developing the ability to receive/send:

Underdog Devs founder here...

We are a scrappy group of software engineers working to create opportunities for people who might not otherwise have them. Mainly the formerly incarcerated.

We are a very unique org in that we have no operating costs. No operating costs and yet we do the following....

We provide pair programming sessions all week for mentees with professional software engineers, they meet every other week with another mentor for career guidance, we have interview prep, our bootcamp partnerships provide free seats at various bootcamps, they get code assessments to determine progress by a CTO of a successful fintech company in San Fran, and a group of them have their bills paid so that they can focus on developing their skills unimpeded. Again, costs nothing, so all our money goes to the mentees bills.

We have had 16 people hired in under a year and without a website. We plan to have 6 more hired within the next couple months. Although these aren't huge numbers remember that these are folks who have done prison time, who usually dont have degrees, who come from low income, and who many times felt like giving up on their software dev aspirations. This isn't the architect turned coder...this is major economic mobility that will change entire their family's trajectory. That 16 is a very meaningful 16.

I have seen an extreme number of fake blogs showing up on search engine front pages recently. A massive army of random generated blogs from many countries to sell you all kind of (real) products for their local markets.

Maybe GPT-3 is to blame for that.
As per the blog's opening statement: context is key.

The industry (and really, it's not specific to the industry) is rife with people who take pearls of wisdom out of their context and apply them without the context to serve their own ends.

A CoC is an admission that whoever moderates the community is not capable of doing so without having something to hide behind and point at. Culture is not improved by introducing rules-lawyering and avoiding personal responsibility, that is how you ruin it.

Edit: What good does a commitment do anyway, if it guarantees nothing and changes nothing? It's just someone shouting, hoping someone else hears and approves. If anything, that underlines my point about the fundamental immaturity of the decision to introduce a CoC.

Edit2: I understood your point to be that introducing a CoC means a commitment, which is somehow something that is good. When all this commitment does is deflect responsibility, that is not a healthy result. I feel like that addresses your point fine.
Pretty good exposition of the classic essay / sandwich style. I've learned that there probably isn't any new advice to help people write, but the opportunity is in teaching them how to edit. Nobody writes well, only more or less based on the quality of their thinking. The difference is in how well we edit.
