It's weird to read this as I started a new role myself 5 weeks ago and after my first week I've had the exact question linger in my mind. I work for a finance company who have outsourced everything to Eastern Europe and now they're trying to rein everything in house but so many things are half-baked and bad practise or simply wrong, meaning everything will eventually need a rewrite. I spend so much time doing nothing because everyone is so frantic running around no one has helped me identify my work load or even assigns tickets. I don't find it possible for me to just figure out what to work on myself.

The people I interviewed with are so nice I would feel some guilt leaving, but the actual technical team I have aren't here and are hard to work with so I wouldn't feel too bad. Although, the older I get the more frequently I remind myself a companies bottom line is themselves. They don't care about you as much as you would ever think so.

I do not think you would be bad for leaving after 5 or 6 months, heck 2 or 3 wouldn't be bad either. Life is short and you legitimately don't owe your time to a company indefinitely. You won't struggle to find other jobs, people can be incredibly understanding and what you are describing isn't uncommon in the software industry IMO.

> Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccine expert Amanda Cohn – noted that COVID-19 was the eighth-highest killer of kids in the 5-11 age group over the past year

From 2020 to October 27th 2021, there were 60,066 deaths in the age group 0-17. 558 of those deaths are related to COVID-19. That's 0.93% (or: 99.1% of deaths happened due to other causes) [1].

The leading cause of deaths in this age group are accidents [2]. A lot of these accidents seem to be preventable [3].

> She pointed out that children are continuing to be hospitalized and to die or otherwise suffer adverse long-term effects from a largely vaccine-preventable disease.

No severe COVID-19 cases were reported in children 5 to <12 years of age as of the data cutoff date (08 October 2021). No cases of MIS-C were reported as of the data cutoff date [4].

> Cases in children rapidly increased during the delta variant surge, which coincided with the opening of in-person school across much of the country. Children now account for a quarter of new weekly cases.

Are cases in children increasing because in-person school leads to more infections or because it leads to more tests? Or both? Do children account for a quarter of new weekly cases because more infections occur or because in-person school leads to more testing & a substantial amount of adults are vaccinated (therefore don't need to be tested)? Or both?

> While severe disease and hospitalization from COVID-19 are far more rare in children than in adults, intensive care admission and the need for invasive ventilation do occur in children.

They do occur. Just as they did occur during the flu seasons (17/18, 18/19, 19/20), often at a higher rate [5, slide 10]. In children 5-11, there were 66 COVID-19 associated deaths 10/3/20-19/2/2021. In 2019, 66 committed suicide. 84 died of influenza and pneumonia [5, slide 16].

> The pandemic has also harmed children’s social, emotional and mental well-being and delayed their education progress.

The pandemic or the pandemic measures? Or both?

-

COVID-19 associated deaths/hospitalizations/long-term effects in children exist. Regarding their relevance, I hope parents will have the right to choose their actions without being put under pressure.

The HN crowd in general is upper-middle-class and therefore not really all that price sensitive. If name-brand cereal X doubles in price, HN buys it, logs it in a spreadsheet, then notes that the price went up. Middle-class Joe will look at the price, call BS, and go with an alternative that didn't arbitrarily raise their prices.

I think what's going on here is a lot of profiteering because there's an easy way to raise prices without looking like a villain. More so than ever before, companies, suppliers, and stores can raise their prices arbitrarily, and easily blame the pandemic and "supply chain issues" without a huge amount of consumer blowback, especially from the upper classes.

I once saw a spider hoist himself up 2 stories in a most elegant way. I was sitting outside on the porch and a gentle breeze was blowing. I noticed this shimmering line floating and it went up until it latched unto the roof and then this little creature just floated up from the porch and a few seconds later, was on the roof. It was almost like a dance. I remember being very impressed with that little spider and admiring it.
It's mind-boggling to me that something as nebulous and tradition-over-proof-oriented as the concept of a "prestigious journal" still gets to be the centerpiece of the functioning of the entire scientific community.

I get that we need some way to measure "scientific success" when awarding grants and tenure, and published articles fit that bill. Which means we need a way to validate "real" journals to avoid abuse.

But the fact that it's something as vague as "prestige" or "respect" that is the defining characteristic of those journals, I don't get that at all, not in this day and age. It's not "has process X, Y and Z in place to make sure their articles are up to snuff" (e.g. "original data is available for independent review"). It's not "has their processes audited by independent agency A". No, it's just "brand value", it's "they've been doing this for a while, and a lot of people believe in them, so we'll just take on faith that whatever they're doing is good enough". How very scientific...
This sounds like a great opportunity to level up and learn some rare lessons.

It's easy to see problems and its easy to complain about them - but even if you're right, there's a vast gulf between complaining and driving change. You may be discouraged because you're hitting resistance but that's the nature of these things - if the organization already was ripe for and acting to fix these things, there'd be no need for you to help make it happen.

That's the nature of the leadership challenge - how do you get people to change things when they currently don't want to or think they cannot?

You think you see the right path, awesome, let's assume that's true. But if you can't find a way to make things better, then aren't you saying exactly the same thing that others are saying - "we have to live with it?"

You may not be in for that kind of challenge, you may just want to write code in a well set up environment, in which case you should absolutely leave. But if you want a real challenge of actually driving change and impact, of leveling up your leadership and seniority, this sounds like a great opportunity. Some will see it that way, others never will.

If you do see the opportunity, then the next question is "how" - finding a way to figure that out is going to be an amazing learning experience regardless of success.

I thought this was a case of Source code virus[1]. With the current popularity of open source and services like github, combined with deep inter-dependencies in node.js, a virus of this kind could have a huge impact if unnoticed for long enough.

This is acting like a private sector employee would be able to testify on whatever matter they want but that’s not true. Google wouldn’t let an employee serve as an expert witness against itself, for example.

>it important for the process to the perfectly fair

It's not about fairness, it's about the ability for a company to hire what they need, and the person who best fits that need to be hired. That isn't happening now because the hiring process is broken. I think the main issue is people are afraid to fire employees who don't work out, although there are plenty of mechanisms (legal and policy) to make this frictionless. There is also a tsunami of unqualified people trying to get hired because it's one of the last few occupations that pays fairly well.

>As soon as you get hired you're set for life

That isn't anywhere close to true.

To the extent that's true (and its a rather including incomplete story) as an intermediate cause, those policies themselves exist to meet federal pollution mandates, which California has, and even moreso in the last had, particular population and geography challenges with, particularly in the LA basin.

There is also a possibility of more vegetation in the arctic → more BVOC (biogenic volatile organic compounds) emissions from the vegetation → more aerosols → more clouds, which could increase the albedo (albedo as seen from space) and thus reduce warming.

I agree, I also think there is a different type of flywheel effect at play here. Central Bankers "printing" money means there is a lot of money about and few places for it to go to generate >7% annual returns. As a result, more capital flows into VC funds which in turn invest in starts ups. The flywheel effect is that the loose monetary policies that are causing these start ups' share price to inflate once they IPO is also feeding new competitors that will further erode the chance of profitability. Amazon built a moat, Door Dash hasn't.
Hi all,

A bit more info, VirusZoo is an experimental project to explore different malware and viruses on a shared virtual machine.

A virtual machine under VMWare is running on a different machine from the web server. Once a virus is triggered through VirusZoo, the file is executed on the virtual machine.

The virtual machine is wiped clean to a stable state every night, or every time it crashed or become unresponsive due to virus activity.

Start looking for other jobs ASAP. There's no shame in telling an interviewer, "I accepted my current and it is not the role or company they described during the hiring process".

This has happened to practically everyone at least once.

I ended up languishing there for a few years and it burned me out and set my career back, not irreparably, but noticeably.

Maybe the wide swaths of US country side are different, but for the (Western) European countries we need less cars and not more.

I love cars and driving but the mobility today is a smelly nightmare. 55 million Germans have insufficient public transport available [1] - they are dependent on cars. 64 million Germans live in cities. So even in cities, public transport is bad for quite a few million people. It's often not profitable to provide these services in certain areas, sparking discussions about privatization of public transport.

At the same time, roads and infrastructure are increasingly incapable of supporting all the individual cars. Congestion, traffic jams and just overall shitty "UX" hamper people's lives and by extension the economy. The denser the area, the more true this becomes.

Munich and Berlin both have major issues with their public transport. Munich grew really fast in the last 20 years and it's system is measurably worse than Vienna, for example.

I use car sharing a lot but it is only useful to an extent and doesn't seem to have the promised effect of reducing cars on the road (or rather standing around parking 95% of the time).

Math checks out on a gut level, based my experience doing a few hundred whole-life scale calendar models over the past year.
