It used to be true in US tech as well — you started with IBM, and you died in IBM. Loyalty was mutual — though in the end, everyone will still work towards their own self-interests… and a companies’ path to self-interest is much more far-reaching and callously achieved than you could ever hope to achieve.

It’s only with Silicon Valley did tech go so heavy with job-hopping — 2 year terms being the norm. And with the lack of loyalty to the company, so it goes back unto the employee (e.g. training a resource is a futile endeavor — he’ll probably leave once trained.. so look instead to make him useful, and if he learns, it’s incidental).

Which furthers the weird pseudo-credentialism we see today (where credentials are required for everything, but everyone assumes you still don’t actually know the subject) — if you can’t know someone’s skill set by working with them, and you don’t know them by reference… credentials are the next best thing — even if they’re not much.

The title I see on the linked page is "Netflix Suspends Trans Employee Who Spoke Out Against Chappelle Special Over Attending Meeting Without Permission".

It may be different from what I currently see on HN: "Netflix Won’t Take Down Dave Chappelle Special, Ted Sarandos Says"

These different titles may lead to different impressions of the same incident, influencing the comment section here. Just a heads up.

Mein Kampf and Facebook both have a measure of popularity, and both of them enabled a genocide. Ice cream is also popular. Popularity is not a good measure of harm, I’m afraid. The other arguments in the press release were far more convincing.

Get a new email/Linkedin etc of course, and apply to some contractor positions with a nickname on your resume.

By contractor I mean like things you would find on CareerBuilder or Linkedin Easy Apply.

If you get an offer, then you know that not every company is researching you very deeply.

But if even these guys are denying you, then it is maybe time for a legal name change, which still might not even help because you have to provide this info in a background check (which should only be for criminal things, not behavioral).

Probably you are only applying to small companies?
Home Depot's web site is pretty awful besides the other issues in that post. Its search function is near worthless. You have to look in 5 different places to find the weight of an item and sometimes it's not there at all (but you can usually find it on amazon). Tons of crap waiting to load, the usual.

My HD curbside (parking lot) pickup experience has so far been pretty good, but I didn't go during the worst of things.
Sorry, I wasn't disagreeing with your numbers. I mean that the procedures Australia implemented slowed the virus, but that inevitably Covid will go through the country and there will be a surge. Be it in breakthrough cases like Israel or the unvaccinated.
Unless you're paying for Amazon's sunk cost fallacy, their standard is to hold your order several days before shipping. Brick and mortar stores plus Fedex often deliver faster than Amazon does!

And if you are paying for Amazon's sunk cost fallacy, that doesn't mean you want to automatically sign up for additional sunk cost fallacies at more stores. Which is eventually what these gigwork delivery options always turn into (eg Target "shipt"), because paying people to perform ad-hoc shopping and delivery isn't cheap either.

Australians currently have to be granted an "exemption" to leave the country [1]. Moving to a new country permanently (with proof) qualifies, but just going on a holiday does not.

(quote from that link: "Australia’s borders are currently closed and international travel from Australia remains strictly controlled" )
You can change how you react to restrictions imposed by others. Many restrictions aren't as solid as you may be assuming. For example, you say that "you're not allowed to leave Philly", but many people don't even live in the same country as their families, in an effort to make more money and offer them a better standard of living. A less extreme version of that is living in a different city for some period and commuting home on weekends. And that should generally be a negotiation, not a diktat.

Oh no. But, but, what will all of our corporate sponsors say? Save the grants! Number of papers published? Our image? Our endowments! However will we afford to have more bureaucrats than teachers? /s

Maybe literally with those sayings, but up until sometime in the 80s, "its a free country" was a common refrain, which was rooted in the culture and expectations of the people.

Something changed though.

> The Closer has a 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, indicating universal acclaim among real people

These are usually gamed by culture warriors - positively and negatively. They are virtue signalling support not commenting on the quality of the work.

I say this as someone who is A) hugely supportive of trans rights, B) thought the special is not worthy of the vitriol it is getting - though it surely does have a lot of blind spots, and C) pretty mediocre as far as standup comedy specials go.

I'm a huge Dave Chapelle fan. I've watched and re-watched all of his specials up to now. But Sticks and Stones and The Closer are both multiple notches below his usual high standards. They will not be remembered positively as far as having anything worthwhile to say about society or being funny.
If I was them I would've just sold the company to Microsoft a long time ago. I suspect that everyone, including users, would be better off that way.
"Clarkson's Farm" was excellent by the way. I did not expect it to be as good as it was. Given that it's Clarkson I just expected him to behave like an asshole all the way through (not a dig at him, I like that he has asshole-ish opinions). Instead I saw hard work, compassion, and empathy towards the working people. I struggle to name another mainstream show which empathizes with the common hard working person to such an extent, and does so without a patronizing attitude. Those folks sustain our civilization, and yet they're basically invisible, and woefully underpaid. And it was also entertaining, too.
I have yet to see any convincing case of someone who has the wealth to afford a computer, internet, and time to spend on Twitter whose "lives are threatened", and no hyperbole causes a larger eye roll from me.
I used my Dad more as an example of how "the average Australian" thinks and is processing all of this, not really to focus on him alone.

He was a High school Maths/Science teacher for 40 years, and I'd generally consider him to be very thoughtful, intelligent and good with reasoning.

He has been exposed solely to Australian media for essentially his entire life - he lives on an island that is very far away from the big wide world, and his thinking on topics like this reflects what I consider to be "The average Australian", which is why Australians seem "complacent" as the title says.
The stuff that WireGuard doesn't do is part of the appeal. WireGuard is simple to understand (and audit), behaves consistently, and is easy to build on top of.
Everyone is nitpicking the licenses involved in this thread. Is this the right thing to do?
No, it does not depend on configuration. You cannot configure OpenVPN to be "equally as secure as WireGuard".
I was in the interested cohort of long-term remote workers before COVID.

One company I worked at attempted a hybrid remote experiment. It was awful at every level.

Having half a business in-person and the other half remote creates a massive rift between the "real" employees and the cogs (yes, it's company dependant and some business has probably made this strategy thrive, but it takes a lot of work).

Eventually, in-office was mandated. I quit a few months later.

I watched this partly unfold recently. Luckily, this company decided to scrap the office outright and now the entire company is distributed across the country (and a little international).

I would not accept partial remote as an engineer.

Apple is getting into VPN now and if I was to guess they would integrate it with some kind of hardware block in their silicon to make it seamless and transparent. I wonder if Wireguard is at the point where silicon makers can actually consider a hardware block such that the VPN is completely transparent to the cores. Personally I find it better to have individual devices do the VPN than at the central network of my home as I find that these mobile devices are significantly more powerful and efficient to do it.

>>water shortages and unstable power grids

In Bangalore the tech parks most of the time run on diesel generators. And the water is kind of de-facto supplied through tankers. There is a fair bit of rain water harvesting but they are not putting in enough to use that through borewells.

My guess is something similar will be worked out this time as well.

South Bangalore/Hosur seems like a nice place for something like this.

> Ruby is able to have much simpler lookup rules because it never considers the instance, only ever the class hierarchy.

“But!” I can hear people say, “I heard you could attach methods to instances in Ruby! How is this possible if Ruby never considers the instance in resolving a method call?”

Well, that’s tricky. The thing is, Ruby instances have no public members, instance variables are private (for direct access, but not in any strict way, because there are public methods called instance_variable_get and instance_variable_get on Object which…do exactly what the names say.)

But every Ruby instance conceptually has (though it doesn’t concretely have one unless you add something to it) a unique class for the instance that is the first thing in its class heirarchy. And you can add methods to that class (the instance “metaclass”, which is different than a Python metaclass) for the effect of attaching them uniquely to the instance itself.

Sure. Here are some picked from recent TWiV episodes, which probably represents the polar opposite of the Brownstone Institute in terms of approach to science.

There are some comedians who, upon hearing that someone is offended by one of their jokes, would have the courage to ask why, and listen deeply to the answer. They would then take the time to revise that joke, and make it better so that it can be enjoyed by the maximum number of people.

There are some other comedians who would decide to make the joke as cruel as possible and start insulting people who get offended. The joke then becomes about how much they can attack those people and make them part of the outgroup. Those people are probably permanently lost as fans unless the comedian decides to change their methods.

For some reason this conversation frequently happens in terms of "public discourse" and "rights" but it all seems to be centered around a very small group of people, and nobody really wants to talk about the series of individual actions that led to this point.

Sorry you had to make an account, but it's really appreciated. The contracting work is good advice, I have been looking exclusively for full time positions, at small agencies for sure, but still, no dice as I've said. Maybe I need to just pick up that small time contracting work in tandem with a full name change. That would be preferable to the fast-food restaurant I've been working at for the past 2 months.
> The head of NIDA showed in brain studies that cocaine and Ritalin were indistinguishable.

Am I missing something here? Should we be surprised that brain scans show that two CNS stimulants were indistinguishable?

Also, that study was conducted almost 30 years ago on mice [1].

I'm a firm believer in the saying, "the dose makes that poison." In this case, I'd also say the habits make the poison too. Even if the drugs have similar effects, I've never seen someone take bumps of Ritalin off the groove in keys, grow long pinky nails to take Ritalin, cook Ritalin in a spoon with a lighter to smoke it, have nose reconstruction surgery due to Ritalin abuse, etc. (I'm not saying abuse does not/can not happen). Can you name any songs about one's love/hate for Ritalin? While we are at it, I don't think Stephen King wrote, "Misery" about his struggles with Ritalin abuse either...

I just think using cocaine to damn Ritalin is such a glaring example of a false equivalence. The comparison does nothing, but further stigma people that need help for a legitimate disorder. Whether one believes the disorder has social or biological origins is irrelevant to people actually suffering.

Sure, we can all probably agree "Big Pharma" has done plenty of good and plenty of bad, but what are the other solutions? Outside of completely turning society upside-down, many people's only solution for help is "Big Pharma."

Also, if you raise altitude high enough, you also can get rid of air resistance, so you won’t need to spend any energy to maintain altitude.
China is a lot more open this time around. Their silk/belt-road initiatives, span across continents.

Comparing him to Thanos isn’t fair. Thanos had an actionable (albeit unpopular) solution.

This vague “actually it’s worse” nonsense is meaningless babble because it projects the problem through one simple dimension (number of houses) and ignores important things like average energy consumption per housing unit and average energy consumption for transportation.

That would be great if it worked like that. I know it's stupid in my position, but I like my name, and I know I didn't really do anything wrong. I feel like it would absolutely just be like letting the offending party win, if I did this. But I need to grow up and accept my new reality.
I still do not understand what the problem is and what users need to know. So assert throws and exception in debug mode and is 'commented out' in production, right?

That's about the only thing I like about HD these days.

It's too bad, I used to love shopping there.

Now--their prices are not the lowest either. They used to be the lowest, until they closed most hardware stores with their buying power. I refused to pay $9 for a tiny box of glazing compound. I went to an employee owned store I have been passing by for years, and found the same product for 1/2 the price.

I can't figure out if the employees hate the place more than the customers.

At one time, people used to like going to HD. Now it's a chore.

HD used to hire seasoned professionals for each sector of the store. You used to go to the Electrical section, and a guy was there who knew exactly what you needed.

Now--it's just anyone who wants a terrible job, and shows up.

Oh yea, I don't like being photographed 15-20 times in order to buy a M8 bolt.

I'll be glad when they go under, and someone new comes along.

It seems like someone could just copy the original business plan of the two guys whom started HD?
Thanks for the Oklahoma reinfection report, which is relevant to immunity. UK also reports reinfections. We need more papers that look closely at instances and statistics of reinfection.

The Brownstone paper selections don't comment on lab leaks.

At this point, everyone seems to agree that vaccines reduce symptoms and risk of serious illness.

GP is spot on, though, and there is absolutely no way around it.

Relationships with most coworkers is motivated and defined by work circumstances. The only reason you found yourselves sharing a space and a schedule and experiences is the fact that someone pays you to be there, but otherwise you would be doing something else somewhere else with someone else. More importantly, if any of you switches jobs, your time and focus and sometimes even city or country will change. Even though professional relationships can flourish into personal relationships, the vast majority and the norm is that the only reason you're even aware you exist is that you want that paycheck and consequently you have to deal with each other.
