I’ve also been working on a moogle inbox (for you domain). There, you definitely can right click and link to an attachment.

Maybe the moogle inbox can be a standalone read-only inbox (i.e., no reply, no forwarding) for things like linking to attachments and making private notes about emails?

I believe Zoho Mail does something similar for private notes but I don’t think they give you links to attachments.

> Not all human subjects research requires informed consent — or even consent.

There have been multiple examples of this going horribly, horribly wrong. (Naturally, the worst examples were government-funded and ran during the Cold War.)

As a society, we have since concluded that at bare minimum, people should know they are being experimented on--and even that isn't enough to stop things from going badly.

This is why the IRB exists in the first place. A major part of its purpose is to prevent this sort of thing from causing undue harm, i.e., by forcing people with limited incomes to seek legal counsel because they believe they're about to be sued into the ground. One of the rules generally agreed upon for this is that experiments with human test subjects must inform those humans up-front what they're getting into.

To say that the response to this "can lead to science being much harder" is an ethically wrong defense. We know it makes certain kinds of research harder; that's the point. There are certain kinds of research that directly harm their subjects, and we don't do that to people. More than that, people have a right to decide whether they want to be involved in a study, as they may personally feel endangered by it (i.e., someone who has a PTSD response to being sued may not want to deal with being fake-sued).

To say that calls to dissolve the IRB "put too much responsibility on the institution" is flat-out false. This IS the IRB's responsibility--they approve or reject studies like this specifically to avoid ethical problems like this one. To claim that this isn't the IRB's responsibility is like claiming that it's not the responsibility of the law to revoke a driver's license when someone has been driving drunk, or that it's not the responsibility of the Food and Drug Administration to reject approval for foods that contain dangerous contaminants.
If they tried to unilaterally make such a change and ban the old formats, both the advertisers and publishers would complain to competition regulators around the world. And whether you think there would be any merit to those complaints or not, the outcome would still be another round of lawsuits with billions on the line.
I wonder what could be driving that trend.

I thought this was a discussion site about "hacking and startups".

If there's enough daily top of the front page US/EU bash China/Russia/Iran/Cuba/Venezuela (put your developing country not bowing down to the west here) threads for someone to have a "colorful comment history", then maybe this new focus of the site can be updated in the about section.
Well, to be honest, reading those comments, everything seems to fit together!

On my first internship, it seems like all my bosses were like this!

Now, I don't know if those are the norm, or if I just had bad luck and worked at a shitty place for my first internship!

But yeah, I constantly feel like an imposter.

I never implied that, in fact I'm pretty noncommittal on the matter and would do away with the baccalaureat (or maturite, or whatever) entirely.

60 years ago a test was hard and most people failed it. Today it's easy and most people pass it. What's the difference? Why even have a test? Since we're somehow talking about French-speaking countries, Belgium doesn't have such a test and isn't worse off for it.
To me, the story of China and Taiwan sounds strange.

It's like if the confederates lost the war, but simply kept Florida or if Nazi Germany lost, but kept Austria.

I don't know how bad the Chinese nazionalists were back in the days, but I can kinda understand why the rest of China is unhappy about them.
Do you guys have an in-house team to deal with legal troubles?
For me the key was to stop trying to find fulfillment in work. It’s a myth that your work needs to provide a deep sense of fulfillment or satisfaction.

It’s important to not hate your job or be in a toxic environment, but work should not be the locus of your happiness.

If you don’t have a hobby try and find one you like!

For me learning to appreciate beauty in the small things (even something simple like a pleasant interaction with a cashier or watering my garden) helped me gain a new outlook on life.

> The US views itself as the enforcer of UNCLOS for all navigable bodies of water in the entire world

50 years ago Americans were mass bombing North Vietnam, spraying toxic chemicals across large swathes, and generally killing. However, now America is a friend and trading partner to Vietnam and China is a bitter rival because China has many centuries of history bullying and brutally subjugating Vietnam and compared to that the US comes off looking ok. It doesn’t diminish how terrible and regrettable the Vietnam War was but it sure puts China’s long held attitude toward foreigners in stark relief!

If criticism of the US and the President were treated by the US with such vitriol and reprisals as China responds to criticisms of China and Xi then the world would be a smoldering crater.

I often run (maskless of course) on the street where I can see public’s school stadium. Kids there wear masks outside while running around stadium during PE class. What kind of insanity is this??! This is in Santa Clara county, CA.
I can accept that prospect, but the thing I find the be really messed up is how you can be diluted beyond what you agreed to? It's not a percentage of ownership. They can just issue more shares. I don't get that.
It’s weird to say this though. Because stock comp is purely additive in almost all cases. The amount it adds to your pay is variable, and in extreme circumstances can even be $0. But it’s not like you can really lose money because of equity based pay, under normal circumstances.
Ergonomically, it's not the best. But the lack of distractions from the internet, and being stuck in one place, is a huge productivity boost for me. When flying alone, I can often knock out a side project prototype in one flight.
Well, the basics are "evergreens".

The list you put up is close (today it is more like: motherboard, cpu,cpu-cooler, ram, storage, psu, case). No-one really uses separate soundcards anymore (in the very old days, you also had controller cards with serial, parallel, floppy and IDE - sometimes spread out over multiple cards).

Building it yourself is challenge (in the good way) if everything goes well, and a challenge (in the nervewracking way) if not... especially if you don't have a comparable second system to swap stuff with to find the faulty device...

I have personally build most of my home computers from around 1995 to 2018. Then I got lazy and bought a completed system from a small, local integrator. I still assemble barebones once in a while (especially tiny ryzen ones)...

As for your resources question, there are LOTS of youtube channels. I like JayzTwoCents but there are a lot..

But it sounds like you have the history and hence skills..

The main stuff as a sorta primer:

Mainboard -> CPU = socket type (check the MB page if your wanted cpu is compatible)

Mainboard -> RAM = formfactor (DIMM vs SO-DIMM and generation DDR3/DDR4/DDR5, non ecc, non registered unless you are doing something special). You could also look at the mainboards "qualified list" (most other comparable ram works just as well).

Mainboard -> SSD/HD (sata) .. number of ports

Mainboard -> SSD (m.2) .. length of slot most common 22x80 mm (i.e. nvme 2280)

PSU: enough juice.. I usually see what prebuilds advertise with and add 100 (watts)

GPU: what can you find (and pay for) right now

Mainboard -> Case.. is the mainboards formfactor mentioned as compatible with the case

CPU-cooler: Right type for cpu, if case is small also check for height.. Two main types today Air-coolers and AIO (all-in-one water).. A good air-cooler is fine for an non overclocked-into-hell system..
Because in war humans already move themselves out of those decisions.

Landmines and huge minefields. This is death with no human involvement. If a commander draws a box on a map and says deny the ability of the enemy to cross this box on our flank, does he care particularly whether it's mines (that are a pain to deal with after things quiet down) or if it's killer autonomous drones?

Plant security?

Border patrol?

Think of a rich guy with a private island. Security is wildly expensive, but they are paranoid (check out the security some of the Russian oligarchs run - it's pretty much a mini mercenary force). Would they deploy some automated AI that kills anyone unauthorized (after some warnings?) My guess is yes.
Most of what we do doesn't require a CS degree. Among the best devs/IT workers I've worked with, non-degree holders are over-represented. I don't have a CS degree (I have a Mech E degree).

Nonetheless, if a company has got a load of not-difficult programming that it needs done, they're probably still going (and will be well-served) to hire someone with a college degree. Why? Because completing a degree shows you can follow directions, are basically compliant to a framework of rules, can doggedly pursue something over multiple years when the payoff isn't obviously tied to each day's effort. It's not needed, but it's also not insane to think that companies prefer college grads.
> I believe a ~$1.6 Trillion debt burden is a significant enough drag on the economy to be felt by everyone

If you're implying that this debt should be cancelled, note that it doesn't go away if the President decides to cancel it. It just gets passed on to the broader tax base in the form of more national debt.

The reason student loans are a problem for the US is that the government keeps on pumping money into higher education but has no incentives for them to control costs. Universities have fairly inelastic supply, so they can swallow up most the money the government pumps in. Cancelling student loans would just exacerbate this.
Just because a position is held by some progressives in the US to appeal to their young student base does not make it a 'liberal position'.

Those with just Bachelors degrees still make almost twice as much as those without (average 38k vs 64k). And their median net worth is more than 2x those with just HS diplomas (74k vs 198k). Arguing that the poor should help bail out those more wealthy than them is extremely regressive any way you slice it.

EDIT: To those saying 'why not just tax the rich more': That comes at the cost of (again) more equal and broad uses for that money - that doesn't make a regressive policy less regressive it just pushes the can down the road. We're talking about a 1.7T bailout for just 12% of Americans with far higher than average earning potential.
i quit being a programmer and now work as a janitor. it's amazing how much of a difference moving and not getting emails made for me.

Is it so much to ask for others to connect the dots? What else am I do to when providing authoritative or academic information puts my account at risk?

And yes, there are many commingling factors for why I get flagged, none of which I consider valid. I can provide links to information straight from the horse's mouth, have done so in the past, and it never matters. The vast majority of people have a knee-jerk aversion to anything that suggests that they're staring at a mirage, or that they're victims of psychological warfare.

> So you're just going to make vague allusions to some great evil

It depends on what you consider evil. In this context, I've yet to use such a term. Already, it sounds like you're imagining I suggested some grand conspiracy.

The Korean and Vietnam wars had nothing to do with China, but the USSR.

Other than that, China was the clear aggressor in most of the conflicts you mention.

China invaded Tibet with the excuse of “liberating” their people, which is essentially what the US has claimed to justify most of their foreign interventions.

The CCP violently squashed the Tiananmen protests.

China keeps claiming authority over large areas of the South China Sea, disregarding protests by surrounding countries like the Philippines.

The CCP backtracked on their promise of keeping Hong Kong’s system of government, putting more agreeable politicians in charge, and disregarding and/or squashing any citizen movements.

Taiwan is a de facto independent country whose mere existence is threatened by China.

I could go on and on, but pretending that China is not the aggressor here is almost laughable.
The effects of the 1918 influenza epidemic were large and persisted for decades, as well. Marginal Revolution has a good summary[1]. Fetal exposure seems to have been a major factor[2], money quote here: Fetal health is found to affect nearly every socioeconomic outcome recorded in the 1960, 1970, and 1980 Censuses. Men and women show large and discontinuous reductions in educational attainment if they had been in utero during the pandemic. The children of infected mothers were up to 15 percent less likely to graduate from high school. Wages of men were 5–9 percent lower because of infection. Socioeconomic status…was substantially reduced, and the likelihood of being poor rose as much as 15 percent compared with other cohorts. Public entitlement spending was also increased.

My own daughter was born in late Jan 2020 so I think we dodged the fetal exposure issue but perhaps socialization impacts may be substantial (although at her age, her peers do not wear masks and some daycare providers have worn clear spit shields rather than masks; nonetheless I think she has socialized less than she would have a few years previously, but more than kids who don't go to daycare).

I actually find plane flights are a great opportunity to read longer form writing or otherwise do unplugged things. (OK, I often have some downloaded videos as well.)

I find even writing text isn't worth it. Partly because of the experience using a laptop and partly because doing so requires me to make all sorts of notes about things I need to verify once I'm back online. Unless I have a real time crunch it's just not worth it.

CCP has a much greater control on its people than others can imagine. If they want to give up on Taiwan, they can do it without much trouble. Japan used to be China's mortal enemy. CCP has no trouble normalized relationship with Japan and built "Sino-Japan friendship" [1]. No citizen uprising over this in China, though CCP used Japan as a whipping symbol to flame up nationalism from time to time. Mongolia used to be part of China and it's an independent country now. No one in China made a sound. Vast vast area of Siberia including the city Vladivostok were taken by Russia from China. Under CCP no one made a sound again. In fact, CCP and Soviet/Russia in the 90's signed a treaty to recognize the ceded territory. Again no one in China made a sound, no one overthrowing CCP on that issue. The funny thing is ROC Taiwan doesn't recognize the ceded territory and still claims the land as part of China. Taiwan is a CCP issue; Chinese people really have no say in it.

As for career-specific advice, keep Self-determination theory in mind. The three foundational components are CAR:

- Competence (work on something that demands skill and attention from you)

- Autonomy (be able to determine what you'll be working on next)

- Relatedness (feel like your work is contributing to a greater whole - helping others)

>If you don't like smoke in restaurants, don't go to ones that allow indoor smoking.

I remember living in the 90s where every restaurant allowed smoking indoors; smoking section or not, the stench and irritability of the smoke permeated the entire space. It was impossible to get away from, other than simply not patronizing restaurants. To this day, I experience an immediate headache when cigarette smoke wafts in my direction.

The question is: Why does somebody's unhealthy habit get to travel with them and affect people around them everywhere they go?

I see your point, and you're right - it is a matter of personal taste. That's just where I draw the line as to what the shell should understand. I'm mostly in K8s these days where JSON and YAML are interchangeable so I just need jq (or yq, which is just a jq wrapper).
