I always vaguely assumed "plastic surgery" had some relation to plastic the material, but it doesn't. It refers to shaping/remodelling of living tissue and the medical use of the term predates the invention of the material [1].

So I could well imagine ancients doing things that would count as "plastic surgery". I rather doubt they "perfected" it, though...

[1] Wikipedia says so, must be true :-) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_surgery

I’ve never had an issue with a Python performance, not in twenty years. Possibly because of using it for what it’s good at? Every year it gets faster as well. I did have an issue with the performance of Java twenty years ago, but that was a long time ago of course. Computers at an order of magnitude faster now and java startup improved.

>Part of the problem is, as you mention, the schools. But the other, much harder part of the problem, is the homes. If your parents aren’t engaged in parenting and you come from poverty, you are at a disadvantage that in no way can be fixed by the time you spend at your school each day. You’re treading water at best.

A fair point. Although I came to the conclusion when I was in school that while the impact of your home life is important, providing a positive initial experience with school and having high expectations for scholastic performance can do a lot to improve educational outcomes. Perhaps even enough impact to counteract the lack of parental involvement/motivation for education for some.

Totally agree. Some problems are complex. However, that does not mean that the code needs to be complex. Simplicity should still be a design goal even if the problem space is complex.

I don't really agree that there is a "complexity floor". Things can always be made simpler, up to the limit of the problem space. As you say, complexity can always be added. Most projects do this. Very few stick to the minimum complexity. The complexity floor for most projects is therefore way below where that line is normally drawn.

Just speaking personally, but every time I've ever confronted a Brave dev online it's been among the worst experiences I've ever had. Every time I try to espouse an issue that I have with the design or architecture, I get lambasted for sharing it and then they insist that I'm objectively wrong. Browser preference is ultimately subjective, like your choice of editor or operating system: the least you can do is explain your mentality in a way that isn't ostracizing to technical users, otherwise you're no worse than Apple with pocketing your 30% and leaving the users out to dry.

I don't think we should optimise workplaces for the smallest possible edge cases.

> I.e. Abortions? Individual choice. Vaccines? Authoritarianism. (Reverse for opposite political allegiance)

I think these examples are really interesting, because on both political sides, the exact same values are being applied, to a different set of definitions.

In both cases, the "authoritarian" option is supported by for the topic that a group believes impacts more than one person, and the "individual choice" option supported by the group that believes that topic affects only one person.

A person who believes that a society should protect its vulnerable from contagious disease, while also believing that lie begins at conception, is likely to support the "authoritarian" option for both topics.
There are definitely expenses you can incur that result in either a taxable income reduction or a tax deduction - there aren't many of them (most individual expenditures aren't considered expenses in the way that profits are measured) - but there are some.

As an example in Canada one newly recognized tax exemption for 2020 was a 400$ flat tax deduction for remote working.

You can argue that more tax burden should be shifted initially to corporations but I think that expenses and taxes have aligned in a way that makes a predominantly revenue based individual tax fair - corporations could also easily carry revenue based taxes, some low margin business would become infeasible but every economic policy shifts that line in some manner.

I recently started working on my own DAG execution framework, after failing to get some patches into Airflow to make the scheduling easier to reason about.

My typical use case was orchestrating DAGs with thousands of vertices, and airflow would silently wedge itself and fail to report errors.

Just a guess, but it could've been a way for them to determine if you were about to paste content into the address bar. I worked for a company that did something similar. It would compare the clipboard to the contents of the input field. If it was a URL and they matched it would assume you had pasted a URL and would take some extra actions based on that.

It wasn't until the OS started alerting the user to this clipboard read that it started to look very suspicious.
I used to have a tech no code license back in the '90s. A group of my friends all had them and we'd use them for coordinating road trips and camping and hiking. It worked ok, but also often just not great for either 2m/440 propagation reasons or just human "I didn't copy you" reasons. Once cell phones became common with texting, we basically stopped using them.

Things like talking on repeaters was boooo-ring IMHO, and autopatch was fun but ultimately not that useful when I had a cell phone on me anyway.

Birth control is prescribed by a doctor for a wide variety of things, including chronic health conditions. If you think insurance shouldn’t cover birth control because it’s consistent, do diabetics also not deserve to have insulin covered, or high blood pressure people their statins?

It's disingenuous to pretend like "black lives matter" is merely a phrase that any decent person should agree to without question. BLM is a political group with a radical left-leaning agenda that encompasses much more than just "don't kill black people randomly" as you suggest. Discussing these things in the workplace inevitably leads to the accusation that if you don't support BLM, you must not think black lives matter. It's a very cheap tactic, akin to saying that you're not a patriot if you don't support the PATRIOT act.

> and our emergency ICU filled up with plenty of fully vaccinated persons

Yes, because sadly lots of people caught COVID, not because vaccines don't work.

It's worth remembering, also, that vaccination reduces transmission, in turn reducing severe cases.

> Right now it's illegal to transmit encrypted data over the air

I don't get it. Why would encrypted transmissions be illegal? Doesn't that make local wireless networks illegal?

Always thought that was weird. Cryptography is used all over the internet today yet it it's illegal to encrypt radio transmissions.
From my understanding you can’t get the actual distinct Comirnaty version when you go in and get the shot. They only have EUA Pfizer supplies. Technically the same thing but legally different and therefore has a different liability profile.

I guess I lost my touch, I've been feeding the troll.
That’s because there are no “low-margin” wage workers, who make large figures in gross salary, but also have extremely high “costs of earning wage”. I can’t think of any wage worker who would fit this bill. At best, this could apply to some self-employed people, but they can just incorporate. Maybe it would also apply to very low-wage workers, if you consider food and housing as cost of revenue, but then again low wage workers already pay basically no income tax.
> That's the idea of _shunning_ though. People can make their own decisions to work wherever they please, and in response to these choices other people can likewise decide to disassociate with them.

Immoral and unethical practice, unfortunately a lot of people here today fail to realize that, just because they allegedly are "in the right" camp or have the "right politics", it doesn't mean they are the right to behave like garbage toward others.

Fun argument, now try asking Apple why they're against Jailbreaks if they "technically provide the same services the phone could already do"?
Nah, that's what the far right propaganda machine has tried to tell you. You're told to believe that Group X is bad, and when you find that you actually believe in the core tenet of Group X, you have trouble reconciling that.

You want black lives matter supporters who don't actually fight for change. You want people who believe that women need to have the same rights to do nothing about their beliefs, and you want people who believe that gays and lesbians "are normal people" to keep believing that in secret.

In short, you love the status quo, and you're scared that giving marginalised groups a better shake might take away some of what you have.

The fact that it emphasizes that they had knowledge passed down for centuries is part of the problem. You never see articles about current surgeries framed that way though it's equally true. No one needs to say "Modern surgeons use knowledge gained over centuries -- millennia even! -- to do their job!"

We all know that, so it literally goes without saying. Needing to document that this culture had hundreds of years of such teachings to draw upon implicitly signals that we generally do think they are primitive, uneducated, etc regardless of your opinion about what people knowledgeable about the culture likely think of them.

The title asserts it was gold threaded. Why assert that? Combination of click bait and we think we are so smart that there couldn't be another explanation.

We just flat out refuse to say "We don't really know and it's possible they had medical techniques we have absolutely no knowledge of that could potentially improve modern day surgical techniques if we learned them."

> The vaccines are dangerous

I’m not sure I could come up with a definition of the word “dangerous” which I could defend which wouldn’t label almost everything else I do in a day as dangerous as well. The risk as demonstrated so far and the unknown risks which can be imagined at this point are still very small for any population. One could hunt for an equivalent activity and try to defend whether or not you would call that dangerous.

For example, I have a drivers license and own a car, and plan to drive regularly for most of my life. I think it is quite reasonable to think the Covid vaccine is far less risky than an average amount of driving for a reasonable time period, and I wouldn’t describe driving as dangerous nor are people up in arms about this very common and demonstrably much more risky behavior.

Most of the rest of what you say seems reasonable though.
Plenty of blame and shame goes on. It’s just more passive aggressive.
It never actually fell. I've heard that the continuity of the Byzantine Empire was assured by the Cantacuzino branch [1] that emigrated north to what we call today Romania and they played a role in the creation of the country along freemasonry. Actually, Romania is an invention of the freemasonry and one of the Cantacuzinos descendants was an official member, Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino.[2] Sounds like an Assasins's Creed saga but it is true.

Exctract from Wikipedia:
"In advance of the Wallachian Revolution of 1848, a Freemason-inspired secret society known as Frăţia ("The Brotherhood") was set up. Ion Ghica, Nicolae Bălcescu, Christian Tell, Dimitrie Bolintineanu, Cezar Bolliac, Constantin Daniel Rosenthal, C. A. Rosetti, Dimitrie and Ion Brătianu, Alexandru G. Golescu and others belonged to Frăţia and were at the forefront of the revolution."

The elite of what was soon-to-become-Romania consisted entirely of people following Masonic principles.

Economies of scale like the dozens of radios that are within feet of my body right now. Economies of scale like smartphones so cheap that almost every single person over the age of 10 has one, including homeless people. Economies of scale like even if my main phone breaks, I can still power on and use the old one in my drawer from 2014, which is just as compatible with LTE as my new one.

Also, economy of scale like a single charging standard (USB) with plentiful cheap battery packs and solar panels; almost all having USB A available to plug into. The baofeng only charges through circular plug and dock; you can only charge if you have a battery pack or power source big enough to do mains-style AC power. Not all radios are like this, but it is extremely common. Best I found affordably is a raddiodity R2 (apparently illegal in USA, oops) walki talkie, which has docks that plug in via USB.
