You consider something superior just because it works for you and therefore everyone should be forced to do as you, but you ignore what doesn't work for others (such as being tied to a phone).

It's true that it's a dramatic increase, but the death rate still seems to be considerably lower, which is what you'd expect from a vaccine which is not sterilizing. The big question I'd have is what this would look like adjusted for age since American vaccination rates for the highest-risk age groups were also pretty high.

As someone with narcolepsy, your daily ritual is everything that makes my life horrible.

I got lucky not to be a part of companies with this mindset now. Every other company was like this, and it was truly a miserable thing. I remember the secretary at my first job calling me every day whenever I was running slightly late, and one of my coworkers joked that someday he'd sabotage that phone.

The whole idea of it being "respect" is just bogus. My inability to put my ass in a chair at 9am every day has nothing to do with how much I respect you, the team, or the company. People are just different, and work in different ways.

How very HN, a TLDR; of the TLDR; at the top of the post.
I have worked in technology as an engineer for thirty seven years. Over that time I have worked with a number of genuinely intelligent people, way smarter than me. Some of them were an absolute joy to work with, and some of them were horrors. Technical product success was about evenly split between those two classes of coworkers, but the teams with the 'horrors' invariably shipped late, and the joyful teams invariably shipped product in a timely manner.

I think a big contributor in both cases is that people are late to report problems in the horror story cases because the inevitable public beat down was so dreadful, plus the decision times drawn out by inevitable arguments delayed progress.

Where on the generally joyful teams, people that were struggling would report that to get help early, and when the inevitable changes were required, the discussion and decision cycles were shorter, because, less shouting.

This is purely my life experience, nothing more, nothing scientific about it, but that is what I have encountered along the way.

If the team as a whole, trusts the members of the team, and the interpersonal stress level is low, work goes better.

I know that all just seems to make common sense, but it is amazing how one or two confrontational members, particularly at decision making/managerial levels, can hinder an organization.

Don't ever let any Bitcoin or NFT shills get away with lying to you that their cryptocurrencies and CryptoKitties and Digital Pet Rocks run on renewable energy.

And never let any of those get-rich-quick pyramid scheme shills get away without forcing them to openly admit that even though they're burning coal, wasting electricity, destroying the environment, causing climate change, cancer, and heart disease, they simply don't give a flying fuck about that.

>In 2013, the country produced 93.76 billion kWH - 70 billion kWh (81%) from coal, 8 from gas and 8 from hydro. The country has 71 power stations, including 5 hydro power plants located on the Irtysh river, which translates to total installed generating capacity of 19.6 GW. 75 percent of electricity generated is consumed by industry, 11 percent by households, 2 percent by transportation.[25]

> Pretending that, just owning property and having them gall to dare to not rent it at or below cost is what's immoral or unethical is harmful to persuading anyone currently undecided[...]

This is not what people are critiquing. No one else is talking about the thing you are. They are expressing their own moral judgements about a certain category of economic activity. That's why I linked you to a definition of "rent seeking." Economics does not make a moral judgement about rent seeking - it just says systems of exchange are more efficient w/o it.

Not everyone agrees on where to draw the line between productive business and rent seeking - but when someone speaks about businesses or owners "seeking rents" they are specifically talking about a proportion of their business that is past the point of making things worthwhile for them and into the range of excess. The definition of a "rent" in this context is that the business owner would make a reasonable profit without it. If they need to charge as much as they do to break even, it is not a rent (with some exceptions[1]).

There is another conversation all together that happens outside economics about how we should organize our society. The 'left' side of that conversation often includes the ideas that all landlords are bad or that profiting from property you own w/o labor is bad. Those are all ideas we could also talk about but they are orthogonal to the economic discussion. Economics cannot tell you what system of ownership is moral and morality cannot tell you what economic systems are stable.

[1] If an owner makes a bad investment and, say, buys a building at the peak of valuation, and then tries to pass on their bad investment to their tenants an an unethical way, that could be considered a "rent" in the economic sense as they are tying to get income on an unfair value of the building.

CRISPR is basically find-and-replace with DNA. DNA expression is weird and complicated, and some bits do different things depending on the environmental context. There's a lot of potential for things to go wrong.

mRNA vaccines are injecting simple, engineered mRNA. This mRNA is expressed 100% of the time; what it does is very simple. I'd be confident using a new mRNA vaccine on day 1, so long as they're certain they picked the right protein, but I wouldn't be confident using a CRISPR treatment without a full medical trial.
That doesn't really help if crypto is also consuming the renewable energy it "helps" build-out.

The problem isn't that the relative proportion of renewable energy is too low, but that the consumption of non-renewable energy is too high. It doesn't matter if renewables make up 10% or 90% if that number doesn't mean a large reduction in the consumption of fossile fuels.
Most people buy cheap stuff, I think there are three main factors that cause this. 1. It's what's available in big box stores, 2. It's cheap (affordable), and 3. Many people don't have the skills/space to build their own.

Personally I am quite lucky, having learned woodworking from a very talented shop teacher in high-school, I am more than capable of building my own furniture. One of my first projects was an end-table with a chessboard built into the top with a few decorative inlays, all cherry and maple. When I built it, I put maybe $20 extra (nearly a decade ago, forgive my memory) worth of support boards, the table is one of the most solid things I've ever personally see, and was capable of supporting 3 ~150lb people standing on it (yes, it was fun to test this). I remember having to beg my mom to purchase the wood, and the total was under $200, ballpark $150 I think, not including labor of course. I fully expect it to last well past my own life, and it will be a great hand-me-down to my kids.

Contrast this to a nice looking bookshelf I picked up from Ikea two years ago that had felt somewhat sturdy in the store, the shelves themselves were made of real(!) softwoods. It was $130, which felt extremely cheap, but worth a shot. The thing lasted 6 months, then summer came, with it's humidity, and the thing collapsed. Turns out having correctly designed supports is pretty important, who would've thought, certainty not a multi-billion dollar furniture company. So, for having to spend 3 hours assembling it myself, I got to watch it implode when the weather turned, lovely! The sad reality is that this is the standard for household goods in many American homes.

The experience of buying that utter garbage bookshelf prompted me to start building a workshop of my own and to start woodworking again. I had gotten a burning desire to build high quality and long lasting products for people. I've been working on small projects when time permits, mostly drink coasters and cutting boards so far, but I'm actively planning out bigger pieces of furniture as future projects. I've given a couple items away as gifts, and even made a few sales over on etsy[0]. Compared to writing software, which is lucky if it lives for more than few years, I've gotten a massive sense of satisfaction in knowing that for each product I build, it has a good shot at completely outliving the owner.

CISA Listed 290 Vulnerabilities Affecting Federal Civil Agencies
Great to hear we're not the only team who does this. We are fully remote, and most articles on this seem to revolve around cutting standup to 15 minutes or less. Ours still stays pretty short, and is even 15 minutes sometimes, but frequently edges out towards a half hour.

Since we're fully remote, and we do standup over voice, we only see each other via video a couple times every three-week iteration. So a little chatter at the beginning of standup is a way to just check in and see how people are doing, including in their personal life.

Another idea to perhaps add: we've informally agreed that the time right after standup is typically reserved for small group discussions for any subset of the team.

We're fully remote (and have been for 10 years), so when standup starts, our brains have already shifted to "talking" mode (rather than planning/coding/reviewing mode), so it's easy to just keep going and help talk through any issues that would benefit from synchronous communication. Sometimes we screenshare, but frequently not - we just talk through whatever we're stuck on or could use insight from others.

I want to gauge the interest level for using a tool for setting up meetings without the hassle of sharing links, and moving along different meeting channels. I am aware that for most purposes organisations use Teams or G Meet that comes with their software suite.

For me, Bing does, at least some of the time, a much better job surfacing GitHub issues. Identical searches on Google and Bing will return githubmemory and github results respectively (and neither service returns both).

I'm not sure Bing ever returns githubmemory results unless you go out of your way to ask for it.

I wonder if Bing has solved the clone problem generally.

You are incorrect, on many points. I am unwilling to deeply elaborate about vaccines or immune systems, however want to state my rejection of your faulty logic publicly (need more of this).

Ultimately the ‘actions of vaccines’ is to instantiate immunity, which the Covid ‘vaccine’ fails to do.

Please educate yourself about the differences between a vaccine vs a therapeutic. Words matter. Just because having elevated levels of ser Vitamin-C effectively reduces one’s exposure to catching the common-cold DOESN’T mean I can recklessly label Emergen-C as a ‘cold vaccine’.

> I never encountered tensors or differential forms.

Your UK undergraduate physics must have been a bit different to mine. About a third of my physics course was taught by the maths dept, and tensors/algebras were very much a part of that.

I recall, after freshers week, the dean getting everyone together. He said two things:

- Hopefully you all had a great fresher's week, now it's down to business, and

- Make sure you have fun at college.

He also had a projection on the overhead saying "If you can't blind them with science, baffle them with bullshit". I'm reasonably certain the second statement above was the latter, because...

He then casually mentioned a "maths refresher" 2 week course that all freshers had to take before "the real stuff" started. That "maths refresher" was the entire Further Maths 'A' level syllabus. In two weeks. Those of us who had done Further Maths at school were fine. Those that hadn't were shell-shocked.

I'm one data point pro PSA: at 43 I had elevated levels, biopsy, detected cancer, prostatectomy followed by full recovery. I can also attest to the anxiety about the two big Is: incontinence and impotence. Luckily I had a great surgeon who'd done hundreds of prostatectomies and everything turned out well.

The urologist who originally treated me gave me one good piece of advice, he said "statistically you're not likely to die of this but the problem with statistics is that they may not apply to you". When the surgeon removed my prostate he said that I would have developed symptoms sooner or later even if it hadn't metastasized.
