On the point of passing on the cost of maintaining a workplace to the employee. I don't see why that would be such a bad thing.

In the immediate term it may not change much, but over time it will lead to increased income for people that work from home.

With less overhead to hire an employee, companies will have more resources available to compete against each other for employees on the labour market.
I don't get this. I live in Kerala, India. And for most things that doesn't involve a surgery, I can visit a government hospital nearby and it would cost me absolutely nothing. The medicines are free. Vaccines, TT shots and injections are free.

And yeah, stiches are definitely free.
1) you’re right that social programs in EU is great but there’s a hidden cost. It’s all derived from centuries of imperialism/colonialism and the wealth accrued as a direct result. You’re effectively reaping the benefit (and this will likely persist for centuries more).

2) similarly, most drug developments and research are done in the US. EU is effectively leeching off of the US policies. I’d say even Japan by itself contributes more to that end, per capita and in aggregate, than EU as a whole.

3) whenever people marvel at quality of life in countries such as Denmark, Sweden, etc, you have to ask yourself how they got there. None of that is free and other people are indirectly paying for those privileges. In most cases, it’s third world countries that Europeans pillaged for centuries. And in modern times, it’s on the backs of American taxpayers and soldiers who fought to save EU on multiple occasions from their own selfish and inept policies.
A bit different from wifi. Here you are drawing from excess heat that the neighbors are generating. This heat would be wasted if you didn’t do something with it, so it’s perfectly okay.
> When you use your neighbour's WiFi you're consuming a proportion of the limited bandwidth available on that connection. The neighbour is negatively impacted.

Only if your do so when your neighbour is also using the said bandwidth. So by this argument, it would be fine to use your neighbour's WiFi at night or when they aren't home, right?

And by the way, if you are on a DSL link in a somewhat rural area, chances are high that using your internet connection is going to negatively impact your neighbourhood, so it can't really be an argument.
There's some irony here, no, that a trail RUNNER is saying that the OTHER guy is going to fast to smell the roses. That's what I - I'm a trail lumberer - think when the trail runners zip by.

No one's cancelled deer season yet. Deer are known to be carrying COVID.

What was the goal, again? "Zero COVID?" Un-strained hospitals? is any evaluation of the desirability of those goals allowed? Is any review and adjustment of the methods we're trying to achieve those goals with acceptable?
Well, we need better stats; if unvaccinated are the reason why hospitals are actually overloading then we definitely should do something. Those stats seem not to be clearly released anywhere (for people like me who do not know where to look). If vaccinated patients who need care for other ailments do not get help because mostly unvaccinated people are taking up beds and doctors, well... But is this the case or not? I cannot find data...

Ian Cheng Interview: A Portal to Infinity
My phone is a Unihertz Atom L, I've had it for a few months now.

It's a good phone. Not the lightest, but the screen is a comfortable size and it has the most important feature of a phone for me - a headphone jack.
Most "24 bit" audio DACs have a lot less than 24 bits of real usable data due to the noise floor effectively burying the lowest bits in garbage, and I think the noise increases at less perceptually noticable frequencies too. 24 bits is used for audio mainly because it's just convenient to standardise on that. I think they also have a lot more non-ideal behaviour in general than this, and they certainly don't have a 0.1% precision voltage reference because the precise output voltage range doesn't really matter for audio.
Medicare and Medicaid are at best 50% of reimbursable amounts in most sub industries.

Also, while $/CPT code can go down, you can see more patients/day or alter your staffing ratios and other operating metrics to more than compensate.

Healthcare has some of the most "woo woo" hand wave-ey financial metrics around. Do a private equity quality asseatment on quality of earnings on "gross earnings" in most health care settings. Other than the Enron consolidations there can't be a more bullshit financial metric (heck entire area) under US GAAP than gross earnings. With that level of obfuscation (purposefull or not) it's no wonder you have almost full opacity into the cost chain.

If you are from the south or a hunter - this is just an indoor tree stand - nothing new. I hope it helps people.
But that is simply not the logical decision.
I don't understand the riddle at all. The neighbour "cast light out onto the street and in to the windows of the neighbouring houses". In a very real and obvious sense, the neighbour's light is no longer theirs at that point. Even by the naive definition of stealing ("taking something which doesn't belong to you"), the Reader is not stealing.

By contrast, Wifi bandwidth, Internet access, electricity, and so on, are limited resources which someone has to pay for. If the Reader connected their Kindle to their neighbour's power supply then they are unambigously stealing electricity. Viewed in this way, an employer requiring their employee to consume electricity, potentially deprive other users of their home Internet of wifi bandwidth, and so on, is quite clearly imposing an extra cost on their WFH employees which they are not imposing on their office workers.

This doesn't seem ambiguous to me, it's just not become an issue yet because the harm is relatively small.
I'm not going to hold my breath. We seem to feel very clever for believing that any system will be made worse by government involvement. People are unironically worried that Biden will usher in an era of socialism. It's too stupid to make up.
I was charged 10,000 for rabies shots administered in the ER despite calling and getting pre-authed. Their billing dept fat-fingered my insurance companies address. Yes, that was the unique identifier - a physical address. I had to fix it myself.

Unrelated but I was also audited a similar amount due to clerical error by robinhood + irs. Unnecessarily complicated laws designed to screw 99% of us are working.
Yes, in Moscow public medicine gets better every year.
If you want to be operated, an MRI, or some expensive procedure, waiting queue might be quite a bit longer than that in commercial sector.

Military-serving hospitals are particularly good. There are certain cases of narrow specialists, where commercial medicine is actually worse than that is found in high-prestige public institutions.

I am speaking of Moscow and maybe few other big cities.
> That last comment is also highly reliant on what the definition of innovation is.

Indeed. Still, most of the breakthrough I’ve seen in my life came from people joining multiple fields in unexpected ways rather than narrowing knowledge further and deeper.
Designing Data-Intensive Applications: The Big Ideas Behind Reliable, Scalable, and Maintainable Systems
by Martin Kleppmann
https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Data-Intensive-Applications...

You can learn a lot of algorithms. It's useless unless you start to create architecture and use them in practice.
This is very muddled. Reading from the spillover light of your neighbor's lamp doesn't deprive them of anything. Using your neighbor's wifi might deprive them of bandwidth, or use up their data limit if they have one.

The ultimate point they're getting to is a good one though. Should companies pay for increased costs borne by employees working from home? Of course they should. Whether or not they will, will be determined by the labor market and if they need to pay extra to attract employees.

Employees get benefits from working from home too. No commute. Easier to run errands and spend time with family. Maybe those benefits are enough to offset whatever additional costs they incur.
It fails, because NixOS mounts /nix/store (the Nix store, where all managed packages are stored) as read-only (with some trickery used by Nix itself to bypass this for its own builds).

And if you bypass that, `nix-store --verify --check-contents` can detect the issue.
Bakeries are also incentivized to raise the cost of bread, in spite they have no official cape of the profit (unless you consider 100%?).

The difference is that if a bakery tries to charge you a ridiculous price, you can politely decline tu buy, or buy and promise never to return.

Why? I could get the line only being open for weekend trips, but I can't see the point of just some summer Sundays.
On the topic of Mutuelle - I'm still to find a reason to pay one, at all. Maybe you could explain, but the hospitalization costs after 31 days seem to be fully covered by the social security (Ameli), if you ever get to be so unlucky to get there, so some doctor visits and an incident requiring hospitalization may be better addressed by "paying yourself" insurance, e.g. saving $4k/year, in case you ever need it. It would be the HSA of the US, with the healthcare higher quality and lower cost of France.

I kind of wonder if you and OP are talking about significantly different scale in amount of code/functionality/team size.

Perhaps I am just jaded, but I take it for granted that writing application logic is only ever going to be a significant minority of “your time”—in larger orgs there are teams specializing on the different monitoring, platform, infra, etc taxes that are a reality of running software at scale.

Five smart hackers that know aws and python well are going to get much further on lambda-all-the-things than an org of several thousand would, probably.

Lambda is also outrageously expensive at scale; but at the end of the day I’d chalk this up mostly to “OP not very good serverless compared to other patterns, fivea good at serverless”

Isn't the difference in capacity?

A lamp has much more excess capacity of light than a wifi, I wouldn't notice my neighbour using it with me.

But a wifi has much less capacity than a lamp, and using it for work might remove noticable capacity from my wifi.

1. Plastic surgery, and surgical vision correction, are problems of the wealthy.

2. I have no idea what your point is, or I hope it's not a superficial as it sounds.

3. Most of us have 0 dollars we the big guy comes a calling.

4. I think it's obvious we need a medical system like Canada.

It’s interesting the preferences people have. My work phone has Touch ID and I’ve grown so accustomed to Face ID that Touch ID feels annoying. I also remember some time ago my wife refused to have something that didn’t have a physical keyboard (she used a Blackberry nonstop at work during that time). Then all it took was using an iPhone and now she has no desire to ever use a physical keyboard.
I am not sure what motivates Android phone makers. They sell a lot of phones but make little, no or negative profit.

I have the thermostat in my apartment turned to about 19°, which is a bit lower than is usual here, to save money and the environment, and I'm still perfectly comfortable at that temperature. At some point, after I had rented it for a bit, I had to be gone for a few weeks, so I turned the thermostat and all the radiators completely off. The outside temperature was about 5-10°, which I what expected to find on my return. Yet when I came back, it was still at 19.5°. I have only rarely had to turn on my radiators since, even during Winter.

Of course, the place can't be that well-isolated, and I regularly open the windows to let in fresh air, so that energy must be coming from somewhere. I assume it's heat leaking in from my upstairs, downstairs, left and right neighbors. They probably have their thermostats set to a balmy 21-22°, and the heat flux through my walls must be enough to keep the place at around 19°.

I often wonder whether this constitutes stealing. It's not exactly parallel to the light of my neighbor's lamp, since due to the temperature differential their thermostats are working harder than they would be if I heated my place to 22°. In effect, they're all paying for the energy to keep my place at 19°, and I'm presumably paying only a pittance for heat. But on the other hand, I have no need for a higher temperature, nor do I want to pay or incur the environmental cost for unnecessary heating. Nineteen degrees seems like a perfectly reasonable temperature to me, and it's their choice (again, I'm assuming, but where else can it come from?) to keep it a few degrees hotter.
Maybe a ladder?
Freedom and Phone Advice
Using a neighbor’s WiFi deprives the neighbor of using it at the same time, as using it diminishes capacity.

This is not true of light. As the article says, using a neighbor’s light is “free loading”. The article doesn’t really say whether the author thinks that is stealing or not.
Yes, I should make it clear that the freedom on the PCT, in the Sierra, is limited to people who have a permit. You can't just show up and camp overnight; you need to get a permit in advance and the quantity of permits is limited to protect the area and the experience.

I don't know the White Mountains but here's a place that I've been that is going to start requiring permits: https://aspenjournalism.org/maroon-bells-snowmass-wilderness.... I was there in 2018. I remember hiking out on a Friday, about a two hour hike, and passing maybe 150 backpackers hiking in to camp overnight during those two hours.

What goes unexplored is to what degree are the rates of COVID in the vaccinated population influenced by the unvaccinated population, given the fact that they will be increasing overall rates of transmission? Might we have a shrinking incidence of COVID if more people were vaccinated rather than a growing one? Might that mitigate the effects of declining immunity? Depending on the answers to these questions, vaccine scepticism/hesitancy (if not the unvaccinated as such, who may have e.g. medical reasons for not getting it, and on a worldwide scale availability may be a concern) may still be justifiable to stigmatise regardless of incidence of COVID within the vaccinated population today.

That said, political rhetoric is more wide-reaching than just the underlying epidemiological reality. When considering whether this is justified we must also take into account the societal effects of this rhetoric; will this effectively weaponise peer pressure against vaccine sceptics to society's overall advantage? Or simply cause them to dig their heels in? Maybe it's a gamble, although it feels like the losing outcome may be to simply drive another fault through an already polarised social world.

It is the restoration of regular train lines:

Regular train services have returned to the Dartmoor line in Devon for the first time in 49 years.

Great Western Railway (GWR) trains is operating the route between Okehampton and Exeter as part of a government scheme to restore abandoned lines.

GWR is initially running trains every two hours with plans to increase it to hourly services in 2022.

Since 1997, the line has only been open on some summer Sundays after regular services stopped in 1972.

No. LTS is much more prone to breakage. LTS means you're porting yesterdays's security patches onto code that has been abandoned five years ago. And usually you have package maintainers doing this, not actual software developers.
