> “Intimate” may not be a great word

Intimate was the centerpiece of my curiosity. Sure I can have feelings about the universe and the rocks that exist within this universe, but there is no intimacy.

> isn’t that as close to “intimate” as it can get

No, intimacy isn't a feeling that just happens to you or a circumstance you happen to be in, it's an active relationship where both parties involved do something to foster or maintain the intimacy.

Can someone feel as though rocks were actively fostering or maintaining intimacy with them? I mean, I guess? I'm not sure what that would look or feel like to believe that inanimate objects were actively working to deepen their relationship with you.

Rather it feels like this metaphysical spiritual jargon I read here is just co-opting a word to give more significance to a different kind of relationship someone might feel towards inanimate objects. It's harmless I'm sure, but at the root of it, it feels very selfish and condescending to take a word that has clear meaning and suggest to someone they just aren't using all of their brain if they can't understand intimacy with inanimate objects.

Now, understand I really don't mind misuse of words if it's towards a greater goal of communication, but here it feels like it's towards a lesser goal of demeaning people who use the word only for effective communication.

> the group that is doing it today is actually the opposite group of who was doing it in the past.

That depends on what you mean by “group”; its the same ideological faction, attached to the same historical narrative and much of the same factional symbology.

They are largely associated with a different political party than in, say, the late 19th and early 20th century, due to a long period (or two overlapping periods) of partisan realignment between the 1930s and 1990s, in which they were marginalized within one party and then courted by the other.

what diseases are linked to lack of fiber? you have a generous definition of "need".

edit: I'm not disputing the benefits of fiber for the average person, but the implied necessity of fiber is just false. Fact: A zero fiber diet is not guaranteed cause disease, whereas essential nutrient deficiencies will cause disease.
Just wait. I wouldn’t be surprised.

Of course you do. HN (or any platform) is not a monolith with a single opinion. I see this argument all the time, and it baffles me
Super-sized wind turbine race happening ‘too quickly’
Ah this is good. Hope it stays that way. Thank you for sharing. I’m also glad if seeing this fact helps people form opinions how they would feel if it weren’t the case.
My argument was not against mandates per se or the vaccines per se, but against the Federal Government having the power to take away someone's source of income for their family if they don't take an experimental drug, a drug they have every right to determine if they need it or not.

And the vaccines don't stop transmission, there was a massive outbreak at Harvard recently even though it had a 95%+ vaccination rate.

Look at Florida, the most recent data shows they have some of the lowest infection/death rate despite never locking down and never forcing state wide mandates.
There are a few outs for this in the event of legal challanges. It's likely this goes against the Charter, and it would be absurd for a minority government to invoke the "notwithstanding clause," to force it through, which is a government veto on everything else in the charter.

A mandate also means the people subject to it are not giving their consent, sort of like how you "consent" to an invasive search in an airport, which violates privacy laws for health information in most provinces. The policy is contemptible, and even though I can't think of a better cohort for forced medical procedures than the architects of this appalling attack on freedom who work in the permanent state, I would still defend their individual liberty and bodily integrity as much as the next Canadian.

Further, you get nothing back for complying. You still wear masks, you still show a vaccine passport to eat indoors, (with slots for 10 or more boosters in some cases), the government still destroys small businesses and forfeits its accountability to "committees" of scientists, who are mostly social scientists, as though letting scientists decide policy was legitimate at all. So called emergency powers that enable random stop and question powers for vague deputized and untrained people remain on the books "just in case."

I understand your passport shows the date of your shot that you have to share with whoever demands it, so once you have hesitated, does it really matter how long, comrade?

Authoritarianism isn't science. Submission is not a civic duty. I've been predicting this stuff since the beginning and haven't been wrong yet. However, this country is so divided I'm not even angry, as that would be frustration from the assumption these people can be reasoned with. The only thing you can do is hold them to the law.
Credit Repair
I have never been so happy for a long time now like I am today, I contacted the Anonymous Credit Hacker after a lot of good reviews from his past clients and I never regretted my actions. His team was able to get my credit restored to an excellent state in 8 business days, I got all my negatives iteams erased, credit card debts were also taken care of and my $23k debts on loans cleared. I totally recommend his service if you are looking to get impressive results on your credit repair. They are professionals and very much effective at what they do . you can contact them via the info; Anonymouscredithacker@gmail. com
You seem to have a lot of confidence in the truth of your own meaningless sequence of GOTO reactions.
As long as it's a generic referral program (Amazon?) in general I find it at least somewhat ok - I can see how they're getting paid, and I can assume (maybe?) they aren't getting a special kickback to sell that particular product over another one at Amazon or whatever.

When it's seller specific affiliate programs? It's all just spam basically.
Anecdotally, last year I was offered 350k (annual) TC from Facebook for E5 in Seattle.
It's generally called pantheism, although there has been dispute [1] that Spinoza's account was truly pantheism. Similar ideas exist in Hindu philosophy, and some argue the analogy is deep [2].

On the other hand, correlation is a consequence of causation. Pragmatically one can reach a plausible conclusion, despite a lack of positive verification. In my own experience, I can conclusively report that a high quality steak definitely improves my mood. Causation of emotional states is bafflingly complex, so it could be some hidden cause, but to my senses it's just that eating delicious meat feels good.
"Oppressed" is usually the operative word, which anti-vaxxers are decidedly not. Substituting "stereotyped" shows your hand a little.
There are also people who do the thing you do who likely make much more. Just as there are folks who did what GP did and make much less.

If $$ is what you optimize for, you can probably find the top 1% of compensation for businesses in your field and work there. For a lot of office workers, there are firms that value their skills and firms that do not. Remember that the comp numbers for Bay Area tech salaries are legit the top 1% globally or some very small percentage.

Consider the difference between an comp "analyst" at a local bank and an "analyst" at an extremely profitable hedge fund.

It's just money in the end and if you make enough to be happy, then the rest doesn't matter. If you want to compete for the top < 10% of compensation locally/globally in your field, then things have to change and it comes at some cost.

Does it? Or does high population density lead to both high density housing and higher prices? I can make a very good casual link. Higher population density means more competition for housing. Meaning they need to build more houses and we can follow traditional supply and demand curves to obtain high prices.

I don't know if this is true or not, but it is definitely plausible. I'm getting at you because you're congratulating the parent for not linking correlation and causation and then you yourself are linking correlation and causation in the same breath.
That's an interesting point of view. Thank you for sharing a well reasoned argument.
This is what makes me think that when time comes to fund a start up, it'll be a piece of cake.
The only thing I can think right off the bat is painting (It's labor intensive but not as much as carpentry and concrete).

Do you know anything about city codes and stuff, most city right now are looking for inspectors, You would be going places in your city usually, even though you go out to people who already see you as a detriment, I can tell you from first hand experience in working with construction, you will get less shit than working a help desk though, most of the city planning/zoning are so desperate too there willing to train (At least in the US Southwest, Good Pay too)...
(not gp, not expressing support for this line of thinking)

That creating vaccines which require 6monthly-1yearly boosters that every must take creates a new, lucrative revenue stream for Big Phrama and a conflict of interest, even when the initial vaccines may be cheap (e.g. Immunity as a Service).
At the very least, I don’t understand why these are vaccine mandates and not antibody mandates. A mandate that does not take natural immunity into account is political policy that ignores science.
What did you mean "Clearly Biased"? Because the sample is unbalanced?
Daily Coding Challenge #28 – Convert 1D Array into 2D Array
It’s really interesting how many assumptions get baked into beliefs like this. Existence had a beginning, it was formed by something, that thing didn’t need to be formed by anything, it’s existence doesn’t count as having existed before existence, that thing had the capacity to act, that things actions resulted in the reality we see today etc.

Having convinced yourself of all of these things it then feels natural to think of that first mover as somehow complex for creating the universe rather than some infinitesimal speck that started a cascade. To then think in terms of mystical power rather than say energy. It doesn’t feel like you’re less likely to be correct with every assumption which is kind of silly in one way but also seductive.
Because racism… exists? And a black engineer is much more likely to have a coworker hold a negative opinion of them and thus be less likely to give them referral money?
I think Rebelgecko's theory of malicious compliance is more likely. This is the same state that passes anti-BDS laws that violate the first amendment to protect jewish interests, so I don't think the apparent antisemitism is genuine.
Honestly, no, not until it’s proven out. and I fear there will be a selection bias where more questionable companies would use this first before established and reputable companies. They need to make it not weird first like sign Uber or another 2nd tier tech company and socialize the idea so it’s acceptable for small companies.

Otherwise you look like a scam.
> Interesting claim that a requirement to take a drug is the same burden as wearing shoes.

Because it is. Vaccine mandates were already present every US state and, because Canada is our hat, probably there as well.
Quite, like how wet pavements cause rain.
Same, it’s hard reading about these outlandish compensations compared to mission-driven work. But then I remind myself of this.
That's only half of it. It rains in the Amazon so much also because of the Andes pushing air from the oceans up where it condenses. You can see this happening in Hawaii in real time everyday where one side is a lush jungle and the other side is Mediterranean style desert similar to southern California and there's no way it's purely from the jungle. It's mostly coming off the ocean
That … doesn’t actually refute my point. People have kids in apartments all the time, always have and always will.

Anyways, in country after country we see the exact same pattern; the wealthier the country gets and the lower their infant mortality gets, the fewer children they have. The majority of the world is now below replacement rate; even India is down below 2.2 children per woman, and Mexico is now on the cusp of the replacement rate. Overall the only continent still growing is Africa, as it has the vast majority of the countries with high fertility rates. I expect that to change as Africa develops and gets richer.

You might say “aha, but people can’t afford as many kids as they want to in the west, because it’s so expensive”. There is some truth to this; there’s a gap between desired fertility and actual fertility in some countries. But in a lot of countries the number of children women reportedly want has fallen. In America it’s gone from 3.5 to 2.5 in the past century. Yes, women are having fewer children than they reportedly want, but not by a lot. Frankly I think that it's much easier to say you want 3 kids than it is to actually decide to have a third.

And that’s before we consider that fertility has fallen off a cliff in countries where having a child is cheaper, and where the state generously subsidizes childbirth and child care. Norway is down to 1.6, Denmark is at 1.7, and so is Sweden. If the issue was cost, surely generous state subsidies would drive up fertility, no?

I think the simple reality is that as child mortality falls, parents increasingly begin to view children as something to be invested in, rather than an economic source for the household (in poorer countries) or as a default consequence of marriage and sex. This tips the balance over from parents wanting (or getting by default) big families, to instead smaller families that are easier to manage and that allow greater emotional investment per child.
With luck we'll have approval for kids soon here in Canada.
think carefully.

Why is this surprising again? Two exposure events should elicit a stronger reaction than one, three stronger than two, etc.

Hell, it's even in the article:

"It’s not surprising that people infected and vaccinated are getting a nice response" -some doctor.
More likely is that cell phones all have mobile data, whereas laptops have not historically had that except on high end business models. Devices are pretty useless to the average person without the internet, so in places with poor connectivity laptops end up being useless.
Proving that you're stupid by refusing to take a vaccine is not a stereotype.
I think that's another out-of-touch criticism where people who have no problem paying for expensive hotels don't understand why AirBnB provides value to people on a budget.
An iphone costs more, a Corolla costs more, gasoline costs more, a washing machine costs more, a vacation in Thailand costs the same.
Search for “unvaccinated vs vaccinated cartoon” on google images and have a look. Remind you of anything?
Its the same group of people though, they just changed which party they aligned with in the LBJ-Goldwater election in 1964. Take a look at the map of 1960 and a map of the election in 1968. They look the same, its just the colors got inverted.
Indeed, seems silly to list gimp, firefox, vlc, vscode, spotify, etc. Not to mention it's easy to end up with more than one of each.
I'm familiar with Daisy, however that's for recycling iPhones. Not repairing laptops. It's totally different.

Your claims about independent repair shops may apply to franchises like ubreaxifix, with bottom of the barrel pay to their technicians, but there are also many high quality independent repair shops like iPad Rehab and Rossmann Repair (both who have youtube channels outlining their repairs.) Who are very good at what they do. Also, some of their technicians are readers of HN.

> these very advanced tools are primarily used for building wealth
> If you aren't making enough to replace your equipment when necessary, the problem isn't the design of the laptop. It's your failing to earn

By that logic, the target market for Apple laptops are for business use only (Apple's marketing says otherwise.) It's a set of product lines that are marketed towards college students, business elites, and casual users alike. Not all of those groups of people use their laptop for immediate wealth generation, or can afford expensive apple repairs. Which of these demographics do you think is a bigger market? By your logic, Framework has a very compelling product aimed at a large target market.

> ...to save $50 is totally insane. It's a waste of your valuable finite time and energy

Try adding a zero to the savings. Seriously, Apple repairs are expensive. and even more so if you're purchasing a new laptop like you claim to. Besides, if you actually believe all that you're saying about valuable time and energy, what takes more time and energy? Purchasing a new macbook, restoring your cloud backups, and all your applications, as well as checking that everything was properly restored, or spending a few minutes replacing a defective part in a modular, user serviceable laptop? If your argument is time savings here, its significantly faster to upgrade/replace parts than it is for me to upgrade/replace devices.

I did exactly the same and went to leave a comment saying as much and saw this.

I hoped that the article itself would make at least some attempt to deal with the issue, but it does not. It’s a meta study (meta meat?) that includes a set of studies. Those studies do not randomly assign people to eat/abstain from meat. It’s as bad as it sounds. Further, they use their poor study to criticise other, poorer, studies.
They are asserting that, however, as this seems a very hard task to really prevent it and they simply assert that they will succeed (especially since if they don't succeed, they don't lose anything, the employer does) without providing any arguments why they think they have an effective solution to this hard problem, their assertion that they'll somehow beat all fraud attempts is simply not convincing.

I mean the public relations industry is all about a few people having an idea and figuring out how to convince lots of people. Just look at how cigarette sales to women were pushed with intentional ad campaigns to change public opinion. They of course need to craft their message in a way that appeals to their audience (for example calling cigarettes "torches of freedom" to appeal to progressive women in the 1920's) but the message "buy cigarettes" is decided by the marketer.

great company and idea, can we get this pinned as top thread? i’ll throw $50 on it
Yes! This is why the implementation details are so important.

It gets even weirder with essential workers, which pilots are.

And then they're heavily unionized. Unions are more likely to follow letter of the law than the intent.
The concept of having colleagues essentially pay for your salary during a probation period is inane. But if it were your former employer, it could essentially be a type of severance / outplacement benefit. The 'skip the interview' bit is also silly. You'd still interview, but the hiring company would have an extra incentive to give you a chance if they aren't 100% sure.

Having said that, I once tried something vaguely analogous and it backfired. I had left my job and was freelancing, looking into businesses to start for myself, but nothing solid yet, and a fairly senior job opening came bouncing around that I thought would give me useful experience even though in the long term I was set on entrepreneurship. it was clear the company wasn't quite sure about me. So I essentially offered them a free trial - I'd come in and just start working for a few weeks for free for us all to see if it was a good fit, no commitments.

Ironically, I think that seemed so bizarre to them at a senior level (or they read it as signalling that I was desperate, which I wasn't) that they passed.

In the end it was all for the best - I started a business, etc.
I too am cautiously optimistic, but I'm worried about complacency. Innovation doesn't just happen, it takes a lot of hard work. If we don't keep in mind the cost of not innovating, I'm concerned we won't adequately reward that work.
None of what you said justifies censorship so I'm not sure why it's even relevant to the discussion.
I assume they require that the money comes from a former manager or co-worker and if you work in tech in the USA/Canada, $50 shouldn't be a lot to most co-workers.

And if you want to buy an internship, you can just plop your kid at a startup for free. Unpaid internships are how you buy experience already.

Of the B vitamins, vegans (and to a lesser extent, vegetarians) only need to supplement B12. B12 is produced by bacteria but can be obtained in meat and animal products. Historically we got plenty from unsterilized water.
I will say this, having known both and helped/been both. They do tend to use more of the livestock/game when eating meat than those who are separated from the process of harvesting the animal, itself. This is, of course, purely anecdotal.
