> The ethical problem is that you can't do research on people without their consent.

But can you do research on a business without the businesses consent? Or do I need a businesses consent before sending out identical resumes except one has a stereotypical minority name to attempt to judge discrimination?

Because websites aren’t people. Websites are businesses. A lot don’t make money or fail. They may have a small staff managing them. They may not be ‘for profit’ but they are still businesses.

That’s my issue with the complaints about the study. They blow up and claim to be unwitting participants of human subject research, drawing mental parallels with the Tuskegee experiment when it’s a closer parallel to research performed against companies who were never notified like when researchers sent out identical resumes except for their names.

The researcher definitely could have worded the email better so it didn’t come across as an ominous legal threat. There are valid criticisms against the research. But claiming to be an unwitting subject of a human research experiment is incredibly misleading.
Early as in "apparently that person has an infection building up, there's a small risk of it getting very bad, do we get out the rare, expensive early treatment pills full of side effects for this one?"

I've heard one tiny statement about that question, it sounded like strong focus on practicality. Like cases already in treatment/observation for unrelated reasons (but likely increased risks). Certainly no "oh, your test pinged positive? Here, have these for five days" anytime soon.

If you know, you know!

Even this quote has proven to be geographic and driven by population growth, and not because of the implied mismanagement by future “spoiled” generations.

So if you are already operating on better information, while the masses believe a reality because thats what they have more visible examples of, then you can navigate it better.
Same, I cant say ive moved completely bc i still have a bunch of people only reachable on whatsapp, but i have a dedicated phone for it
It would have been possible to make the requests without a threat of suit. The thinly veiled threat of suit came from a portion of the email that quoted a specific section and used legal verbiage to get people to respond within a certain time frame (as required by the law)
This was taken as a legal threat. The request would have been just as valid without the threat

Auto-update and lock all issues with the text "Waiting for moderator approval", tag them with "approval queue". In a private repo for contributors, duplicate the issue with original text and relevant metadata. Approval in the private repo entails adding the "approved" tag and simply answers the question "Is this spam?". When that tag is applied, the original issue in the public repo is updated and unlocked. Any edits trigger a similar process, "Edit waiting for approval".

As issues are denied, a history of what type of spam or trolling is occurring is built up. That could presumably be aggregated and shared among the oss community, with concomitant spam arms race I guess.

I got one of these emails. Not being in the US, my usual reaction is "sue me", especially when someone emails me for a data access request on a static website. I can imagine how stressful it must be if you're actually in the US and there's a probability that you could actually be sued, though.

A recession seems pretty obvious.

And corresponding correction in 2022 if you think through the macro picture logically.

We injected 4T of fiscal stimulus over ~2 years, which is about to completely end over the next two months (though some programs already over).

A large amount of corporate earnings growth was due to distortions in consumer income, which fed into retail sales.

Personal Income:
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PI

Retail sales have been about 20% elevated from a very smooth and consistent trend since the pandemic hit: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/RSXFS

(This chart alone is enough to understand the inflation situation, the quickness and magnitude of the increase is unreal)

So we inject 4T in stimulus at one pont in time, why would we extrapolate the impact of that in perpetuity? It seems pretty obvious a large portion of that money will end up in low velocity places and thus the higher goods sales won't be maintained.

In the next two months, the child tax credit will expire, and student loan payments will resume. This amounts to close to 30B/month in effective consumer income that will disappear essentially overnight.

There will certainly be a recession/earnings recession next year due to these factors.

An alternative outcome is that the one time fiscal injection led to excess liquidity trading hands, thus we have persistently high inflation and new normal of earnings is maintained through deflated value of currency. But in this scenario the Fed must tighten much more aggressively, which leads to the same result.

There are many perma-bears out there that call doom without sufficiently specific reasoning, but in this case the macro picture looks very clear and easy to predict. The market doesn't appear to be pricing it in, however.

If you disagree, what logical mechanism could explain an alternative outcome?

I've found that most lamps and light fixtures are still designed with incandescent bulbs in mind, so there's often not a lot of space left inside, and thus too powerful of a LED is going to cook itself eventually.
This is not unique to the USA, e.g. in the Netherlands the army assists in testing and vaccination campaigns [1]. This is just common sense, those organisations have a large number of people (who in peacetime have not much more to do than exercise and maintain their equipment) who are trained to act in a short times notice and can deploy facilities which are not available to civil authorities.

Modernization isn't about product features, it is about architecture. The reason it is hard is because many legacy systems never separated their application layers, making it difficult to just migrate the database (for example) without also migrating APIs and business layers, even all the way up to the UI.

Non-separated layers is what causes people to start to pick and choose features. I've been modernizing platforms for about 15 years now, and my first move is always to identify and correct the areas in the app where the layers are intertwined. Even if that is a 2 year effort, it builds up to a day when you can just pick a layer and move it, and it isn't hard anymore.

But those projects are not about MVPs, or features, or product prioritization. It is nothing but pure tech debt - keeping the lights on for the customers while you work hard to change everything under the covers without impacting them.

The organizations that employ healthcare workers, and indirectly the organizations that pay for healthcare, do not want to pay sufficient wages to incentivize people to work in the roles needed to provide the level of healthcare expected by the population.

Instead of fixing the remuneration so that people are incentivized to work in healthcare, the easier solution for leaders is to “draft” who chose to be eligible to be drafted in emergencies and have them work. In reality, this is simply displacing healthcare workers from elsewhere.

It is leaders of today destroying trust in emergency organizations, protocols, and structure to avoid paying higher wages. Why would anyone sign up for national guard when your role includes having to work because of insufficient wages causing lack of supply of labor?
I wonder if you could contact support and explain the situation. They can't ignore the fact that the agreement isn't valid if you weren't the one who clicked the button... right?
That hasn't been true for a long time, now. Gmail used to be fast. Nowadays, it takes a long time to load (loading megabytes of JS before even displaying anything other than a big logo), a long time to search and a noticeable amount of time to even display an email after you click on it. I think you might relying on some older memories.
Niedersachsen, but I think you're missing my main point: the mental and physical effort for doing a test is much lower in the UK. As I said, you can order a set of 7 lateral flow tests for next day delivery to your door. The free tests in Germany involve either booking a slot, or at least risking to turn up and wait for a slot, at a test center. The home kits cost money and, as I pointed out, are often out of stock (though apparently this is a highly localised phenomenon).

It should also be noted the free test kits in the UK say the user must submit their result whether positive or negative. This surely pushes up the number of positive tests included in UK figures. In fact, I suspect the UK's high case rates since the summer - part of the reason why Germany has had it on its list of high risk areas since July - are simply an artefact of huge rates of testing going on and not because it's "plague island" as some like to brand it.

I'm no node developer, but even with ~100 packages in a Python project it was really rare to see "version mismatch problems". There's probably a lot of talk about it because "just install newest spec'd version recursively" is not technically correct and can violate package version constraints, and it's also probably the only algorithmic thing you can put in a package manager, and optimal solutions are of course NP-hard, making it an interesting thing to work on. But practical impact? Far down the list.

It does not seem like a good idea to impose vaccine mandates on the people who have already done most of the work in the past 2 years:

The article says that about 150 of the 1050 troops deployed are medically trained. Most will be providing support services where needed.

The national guard exists to answer the call of the state governor for all sorts of things. You’ll also see them deployed for state emergencies like a hurricane or tornado.

Think of it as a quick to mobilize population of volunteers that are trained to do various things.

Infection doesn't either. The effect of infection is stronger wrt to spread for a few weeks or months but that difference isn't a long term thing. That's not how you reach herd immunity, it's how you reach seasonality.
Most of the effort to date in the schools would disagree 100% with this. Teaching loops and algorithms actually improved math performance, as early as 1st grade.

Less distraction.

An IDE gives you hints and you learn to rely on them; it takes 1 second to check something and you end up doing many checks like this.

In a terminal you have to check everything and remember about everything yourself. Maybe it takes 1 minute instead of 1 second. So you only do this when it matters and you make sure you remember the result because you don’t want to waste that 1 minute again.

Although I get that for modern developed society, I do think of the structure of a romanticized village like life in the right jungle environments or some very communal islands. With the right ecological stasis, entire generations of people just … live. Replicating that in more developed but adhoc society requires many orders of magnitude more resources, but opens up other pursuits that are beneficial.

When I’m around spiritual/hippie people, alot of them act like children, unadjusted for the demands of modern society, and I step back and think “why do I care?”. Mostly because they wont be able to adapt and execute well in other environments. But I can see a medium or balance that can be pursued as well.

Your code golf example makes no sense.

B_mean <- dt[, mean(b)]

Dt[b<b_mean, by=.(a)]

Unlike the dplyr solution the dt solution is robust and we can independently test to make sure the mean of b makes sense.

The very easy to reason around concept of dt[rows, columns, groups] makes the code extremely clear.

Your translation example is absolutely bonkers because it’s trying to pigeonhole the simplicity of dt into the nonsense that is dplyr.

> The problem is how many nurses just got up and quit in the past couple years

Hence the problem is lack of sufficient compensation for their quality of life at work.
Some got fired. Some quit and found different, better paying jobs. The reality is that being on staff, working at the bedside in a hospital is a hard job with mediocre pay. But hospitals will give docs huge bonuses and pay travel nurses 2-3x what they pay nurses already on payroll. My wife was an RN at a major pediatric hospital and took a job at a private practice. Much easier job, closer to home, better pay. The hospital called her a month after she left and offered a 5k rehire bonus. Thank you, but no.
