Also not a lawyer but my understanding is that the damages you can collect even if you win a judgment are only a fraction of the damages a layperson would identify, e.g., you generally wouldn't get anything for quitting your previous job or ending your lease (though you might get closing costs if you sell a house).
As far as I can tell these dumps come from the cert org itself- I needed a CompTIA cert and all of their official materials come with access to a bunch of practice tests.
>the lab leak hasn't been disproven yet.

I was kind of unclear here intentionally. The source being wild has been disproven. This leaves lab leak as the only viable theory. So while it hasnt been proven, it sure as hell is the current theory.

The point I was making is that the political position set by wikipedia proves the bias. If they reported in a neutral fashion they would have NEVER called it a conspiracy theory. They might have said that we lack the evidence of it being a lab leak and wild source is quite likely over lab leak.

The bias is proven though and then the person I replied to was alright with them ignoring 'misinformation' but this is tantamount to agreeing with the bias.

>There was a senate investigation that biden killed (https://nypost.com/2021/05/25/biden-team-shut-down-inquiry-t...) Why he cancelled it, who's to say, but it COULD be something to do with this; https://nypost.com/2021/11/29/joe-biden-expected-10-percent-...

If you step back, early in the covid lab leak story is that the lead scientists from said wuhan lab published in nature mag the source appears to be bat. Afterall, it is indeed quite related. I believe what this says is that it wasn't an intention leak, they just didn't think they did it.

The follow up theory is that it was intention but not by them. Intentional by someone who was actively in a cold war with china... who might that be... oh right...
Craigslist has done virtually nothing to improve the quality of listings on it's site. They seem to actively refuse to do anything about duplicate posts, keyword abuse, and those listings where the 'price' is $1. Go ahead and search 'iPhone' on your local Craigslist and you'll see a ton of posts advertising screen repair and used cars. And, there are dozens of identical listings that you assume their system would block, but they just don't. I'm glad Facebook Marketplace came along because CL is resting on its laurels.

Gah, I wish sites wouldn't call themselves "wiki" if they aren't a wiki!
I've been debating where the anti-science behavior stems from. From reasonable people at least. The best i can come up with is that most reasonable people recognize how the modern age is an information war. Product sales, articles on economy, articles on politics, even some well advertised miss-steps like the sugar industry pushing/funding pro-sugar anti-fat papers way back (which may or may not be true, but it is a common trope parroted).

I assert that all this leads to people being paranoid about information of subjects well outside their expertise. Which is a really scary place to be. The answer seems non-obvious to me, but is likely nuanced.. and the public doesn't do well with propagating nuance in my experience.

I'm really interested in tooling to help disseminate information.
> Does that mean you support a rollback of all vaccine requirements?

I can't speak for the person you're talking to, but those old vaccines are actual vaccines, unlike the recent mRNA injections, which are so different from what we typically think of as vaccines that the CDC had to change its definition of the word "vaccine" to remove the notion that a vaccine provides protection from a disease.

So of course not. The old diseases were serious threats, and the old vaccines were actual vaccines. Not similar to the current situation, where the virus is a negligible threat to all people who are not elderly or suffering from serious disease already, and the injection being proffered does not prevent a person from contracting or transmitting the virus.

> Surely it is obvious to them that nobody would ever fall for it or treat it in good faith.

This says a lot about you, and makes me suspicious about your posts.

You either assume that someone with a different view is lying, that they don't even believe in their own views, because these are obviously wrong.

Or you are unable to treat posts in good faith, suspecting a commercial incentive.

So, you can not contribute anything to this community. If you disagree, it is because you disagree with liars. And who treats something in good faith, when they suspect the other person is not acting in good faith?

Your suspicion should make you conclude that you have nothing of value to contribute and should look for a community where everybody agrees or promises to act in good faith.

Oso | Engineering Leader, Software Engineer, Developer Advocate, Product Leader | New York City (NYC) | Onsite or Remote

Over the last 15 years, companies like AWS, Stripe, and Twilio have helped developers offload anything not core to their apps so they can focus on what matters to their users. Despite a lot of progress in developer tooling, most developers still roll their own authorization.

You might start with something quick 'n dirty – some IF statements and roles in a database, which may not be pretty but gets the job done...until you need to add more features, and more features. And inevitably every team band-aids onto this system until they do a big refactor. This is lost time for an area that's not core to what most companies are trying to solve for their users, and what's more, no one on the team is feeling great about this work.

At Oso (backed by Sequoia), we're building the first batteries-included framework for authorization so developers don't have to roll it on their own ever again. We're designing slick APIs to cut down the amount of time they spend getting their system set up, and building a fully-fledged policy engine and programming language (in Rust) under the hood to ensure they can customize their system however they need. We don't have any product managers – the engineers on the team are responsible for taking broad problems, experimenting with potential solutions and shipping a superhuman experience for our users.

The team members who join now will not only have a disproportionately large impact on the product, but also on the culture and future of the company.

We are based in NYC and hiring folks remote or onsite.

> ... a simple fail, back off, retry system actually increases overall load due to duplicate requests retrying.

Well, two things.

First, our clients didn't have a "simple" back off, retry system. They tended to have more sophisticated back-off and retry systems that didn't increase pressure on services that were overloaded. There are a number of different techniques you use to accomplish this and you can wrap up several of these techniques in a library, use the library in your client code, and have that client code (a fat client) be the official API for your service.

Second, this also assumes that front-end load is significant to begin with. In our system, it definitely wasn't. Requests were super cheap. You could hammer the front-end extremely hard and it would just respond with "try again later" until there was some capacity available, and then it would let in some work. The size of an actual request was quite small, it was the size of the work represented by that request that was large.

> OTOH, I'm sort of amazed by the people who reach for queues to solve loading issues without first assuring that the system works properly at full load without any queuing. Queue's only serve to smooth out busty behavior and come with their own problems (buffer bloat related latency).

Queues in our system were a necessary part of the design. The system would not operate efficiently without them, because work items needed to be batched in order to be processed efficiently. I don't think there's a way that you can indict a system for using queues unless you know something about the design requirements.

There are absolutely other reasons to use queues other than smoothing out bursty behavior.

Yeah, the same, like I have been living in alternate universe throughout my career. For every business I have been, engineers have been treated very well.

Sock Club (and Banner Goods) | Senior Software Engineer | Austin, TX | FULL-TIME, REMOTE, https://custom.sockclub.com and https://sockclub.com and http://bannergoods.com

How we buy goods is shifting it's reorganizing from around the automobile to around the smartphone and desktop. Sock Club has grown organically from a D2C e-commerce brand to a custom socks manufacturer and now to a service and design focused e-commerce experience. We are targeting the huge dinosaur industry of corporate gifts and promotional products. It’s an industry where service and design can separate us from other companies and where behemoths like Amazon can’t compete. We already have a service and design team that delivers a high quality experience to our clients. We are building a development core to build a web experience and software tools to make it so that team (staying the same size) can deliver the same experience to 10x the number of clients. If you're interested in this opportunity contact me at dane@sotmclub.com.
Rather than repeat myself, I'll refer to a comment I just posted and then ask you a couple of questions:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29404841

Do you think the Vatican is profitable?

Do you think that a nonprofit that pays their CEO 36% --yes THIRTY SIX PERCENT-- of revenue is profitable?

Do you think that the American Petroleum Institute, which pays their CEO $11MM in salary (4.5% of revenue on $238MM in receipts) exists with a real non-profit objective despite what their balance sheet might say?

You see, we get lost in this legal "nonprofit" classification and fail to understand that a lot of these organizations exist for the profit (the enrichment) of either the individuals running them, associated commercial enterprises (oil companies) or both. If we refer to them as "X4132 organizations" (made-up name) we would have no emotional attachment or a mental model to go against what they actually do. When people hear "nonprofit" they think something like "feed the X" scrappy entities with idealistic workers and managers all eating ramen noodles to conserve every dime for their worthy cause. That is FAR from reality. Very far.

And that's why I tend to call it "profit". Yes, sure, this does not fit the technical definition of profit, but it is hard to argue that a CEO taking 5%, 10%, 30%, 40% of revenue isn't actually the profit element of the organization. I give the example of the lavish cars and trips for the pastor and management paid for by the church my mother in law used to work for. That's profit. We might classify it some other way, but it isn't charity.

If execution of your binary is stopped some time between the call and return (with following restart), dealing with it is no simpler than dealing with network partitioning.
When someone chucks $600k into an NFT from dollars for some virtual land I'll be much more likely to believe that it's actually worth that (to the individual) if it's demonstrably not a wash trade. And 'or nearest bid' is doing a lot of work. Lots of NFTs out there with a big disparity between bid amounts and asking price.

Also, state pension for many Russians (and Russia usually isn't considered a very poor country) is in the range of $130, which is just about twice higher. Add the fact that private pensions are very rare there, and you can see how thinking that that's "absurdly low" is a pretty privileged position.

One of the founders said on this forum that the anecdote which described a poor hiring experience was to them an aberration.

Now that other anecdotes are coming out of the woodwork, it seems maybe it may not be an exception but a broken internal process which needs fixing. That said, we don’t know the full picture and whether the incidence is within range or outside the range for their industry. That’s not yo say there shouldn’t be improvement. The industry and the company may very well benefit from a change in practices.

In the thread yesterday, having a named journalist serve as an intermediary for fact checking between complainants and the people/companies they are complaining about was suggested [1].

This seems to be one implementation of that, which seems to have worked out a little better than anonymous comments? It also does a better job of distilling the major issues at play here, in my opinion:

> The technical manager who signed the offer before it was rescinded feels more frustrated about the lack of recourse than the actual loss of the job.

This is the crux of the issue. It's not about whether it's legal or moral to rescind offers or how the job market looks, but the emotional distress caused by having quit your job, or having informed family and friends of a new job, and then having to tell them that it's actually not happening.

As humans we should always strive to minimize this kind of terrible experience, or at least make amends in spades if we subject someone else to it. A company that goes above and beyond would give a candidate, say, six months of standard severance pay for this situation if it was absolutely unavoidable that they had to rescind someone's offer. Of course, the best course of action would be to give them an immediate appointment to a similar job in another division, or at least a fast-track interview for the same.

I agree, but perhaps I didn't word it the right way in my original comment. With microservices there is a big overhead in development and managing failures, but functionally it doesn't offer much more than a function call within a monolith.

I don’t follow those assumptions.

There are only 36 roster spots currently in the Overtime Elite league the article references. They are almost certainly all Top 50/100 prospects who can leverage recruitment from the likes of Duke, Kansas and Kentucky to get a call from Overtime.

The Ignite team in NBA G League is more exclusive with the latest player signing a 2-year $1M deal.

AFAIK only one of 4 HS players to-date from the Ignite team went undrafted after playing.

Nonetheless odds of being drafted should affect premium and payout, not decision to insure. People get all kinds of novel stuff insured all the time.
