Your assumption that we would need to take measures in excess of the countries with the strictest measures in order to have eradicated SARS-CoV-2 is probably wrong, and is definitely not what I would think.

I would take New Zealand, Greenland, Taiwan and even China as models of most of what needed to be done. None of them did things perfectly, but they all had some of the right ideas.
I think this definition of 'effect' as a verb has some extra nuance in real usage that isn't entirely captured by the dictionary definition.

Generally you'll see it used as "[actor] effects [intangible/ephemeral noun]", rather than "[actor] effects [physical object noun]". "Trees effect oranges." would generally not be considered proper English, despite meeting the dictionary definition.

Sometimes it's important to use the most(-ly) correct word, rather than merely a correct word. In both cases, "produce" would work much better: "Trees produce oranges". "It [the union] doesn't just produce cereal. It also produces Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls."

produce (verb): make or manufacture from components or raw materials.

I agree with the C- though! It's certainly not entirely wrong. And a really fun opportunity to talk about effect as a verb!
But cars already have radios and now they integrate with Spotify.
The whole “China long game” feels so lazy. Did you forget that this is the same Chinese government that isn’t resilient enough to handle challenges to it (HK, Taiwan, Tibet, Tianimen Square (sp?)) and it’s the same government where Evergrande is happening because local governments in China just feel like reporting numbers because they’re scared that Xi will get mad if they report real numbers instead of “growth forever”.

China also has a huge population problem coming and it’s likely that they have already peaked economically (you’ll notice states like China get much more belligerent and bellicose as they fail ala Russia) and even that is due to government mismanagement.

So, my point is China isn’t some grand strategic master. They are a country with their own problems, likely even worse than most countries because problem exposition is strongly discouraged.

This doesn’t mean that America or any other country doesn’t have problems, but China isn’t particularly special here.
I could see it happening where I work (Large Multinational in the Energy Industry). HR are removed enough that they would back this up, yet have the authority. Teams often report by function, therefore there isn't a local manager worried about the missed deadline. Combined with the companies image as attempting to be a leader in social responsibility (at least as much as an Oil and Gas company can). I can see it happen however I don't think I could see it in any of the smaller companies I have worked for as the results of missing deadline were frequently too significant.

That being said my current employer is exactly like the one mentioned by OP here. You basically need to build credibility internally to deliver.

> "Oh, I can implement this in 5 minutes"

Close to a decade ago I got into a heated debate with my then boss over a project which was delayed and got served this(just with three months instead of five minutes).

I was fired and sure enough, few months went by and I get a call from the client asking if I could testify against my former boss.

That crazy sonofabitch actually tried to pull this off, but grossly underestimated the project's complexity, to predictable results.
I'm less familiar with poisoning, but at least for test-time robustness, the current benchmark for image classifiers is AutoAttack [0,1]. It's an ensemble of adaptive & parameter-free gradient-based white-box and gradient-free black-box attacks. Submitted academic work is typically considered incomplete without an evaluation on AA (and sometimes deepfool [2]). It's good to see that both are included in ART.

> Please post your source that said the Union gave up. There's no way to misinterpret this outcome at all; they clearly won.

How about the fact that everything you just listed was in the previously-rejected contract that weeks ago the pro-union side was saying was made in bad faith?

As far as I can tell, the union now accepts very close to the same contract, and rather than arguing it was made in bad faith, they have switched to arguing they have won absolutely everything they wanted.

It's sort of like living in Bizarro World.
I would wager that it is a bit more dangerous when that principle is actually codified in the law, because it makes it much easier to use without much backlash.

While it can happen anywhere, it is at least not "totally cool and legal" in most developed countries, which imo acts as a deterrent.

I more ask, how much money and effort would you spend for a calculator program which saved that $0.16c worth of RAM[1] which you didn't even notice was being used until something else drew it to your attention? If someone built one, would you buy it? I can only suspect not, since there are a lot of calculator apps out there which you could have found and installed for free.

You probably used more paper in your lifetime of printing and book reading and newspaper buying and phonebook and bank statement receiving than Euclid, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Euler, Gauss and Newton combined, is that a problem worth solving?

Haha. It's nice to see this opinion written out. I read a few of the Herbert/Anderson books (I had a lot of time on my hands) and came to similar conclusions. I was most disappointed with the post-Chapter House stuff they did. It was allegedly based on extensive material left behind by Frank Herbert for the seventh book, but it very quickly tied in material and tropes from the prequels that Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson had written, clearly being their creature and not the father's.

I was somewhat disappointed to learn that Anderson had been a consultant on the new film.
I don't understand something. Why do they have to make employees work so much overtime? The allegedly bad working conditions were a common talking point for the strike. Seems like if Kellogg's just hired more workers they wouldn't be paying such a premium in OT, and there'd be less complaints on the workers side as well? And if the response is there's a shortage of workers, why not open another plant elsewhere and move some of the production lines?
The payrate information is incomplete, such as pay per hour or number of years of service required to attain the payrate that will result in a gross income of $110k.

Also might include working nights and weekends.

It is annoying to see analysis done simply by using nominal wages, and have it ignore time of day the work is performanced, risk of bodily injury, whether or not you get to be home for dinner with the family, location of the work, whether or not you work weekends and holidays, and what the effective pay per hour ends up being.

I'd argue it's the opposite. Having many right clickers around does the opposite of their intention, it gives the NFTs free marketing and exposure. More right clickers > more eyeballs on the NFT > more people intrigued enough to learn more.
I think plastics should be strictly regulated and only available for medical purposes or space exploration. Might need to be phased out but we need them for these other purposes. We don’t need them for plastic straws.

.NET Blazor for a New Startup?
I'm creating a B2B web-based SAAS for small to medium businesses. It's going to be a heavy SPA with .Net Core micro-services. I've always been a .Net/C# guy and I'm extremely impressed with the new Blazor webassembly SPA framework. After some heavy testing it's 100% capable as a front-end tech. However I worry that there might not be enough of a C# talent-pool willing to be a co-founder or early employee. It seems like 99% of startups these days use one of the Javascript frameworks. It's a bummer for me, but should I consider switching my dream stack to Typescript and React or some other framework? Typescript at least has made JS a little more palatable to me.

Buying a house is the same. It just adds your name onto a title document that is stored in some custom government database. Imagine if there was a global way to register property title and ownership. Imagine if multiple countries used it. How do you think that could change the property market - or any other market that is currently geo-locked or database locked or company locked? We're talking about a decentralized, trustless and immutable proof of ownership for any good. I really don't understand why people focus so much on the images, gaming etc part of it. This tech is just starting with images - it's finding it's feet, perhaps frivolously, but it will end up changing the world when it's used for other things. It's a little shocking actually to see the lack of imagination on HN about a technology that could revolutionize multiple industries.
I think the implication is that it is not intentional, but a result of the poor quality of work that the inexperienced substitute work force has.

Weren't a huge part of the issues around the insane hours per day and days per week required?

> according to union workers, 72- to 84-hour work weeks — not a typo — that includes mandated overtime and a point system that dings you if you dare beg off to go watch your son’s Little League game. (Kellogg’s claims its employees only work 52 to 56 hours a week and 90 percent of overtime is voluntary, a claim BCTGM workers hotly dispute.)

It's easy to say it's 120k a year, but if they're working 80 hours a week to do that, then it's really only half that number. Even 52 hours a week is bonkers to me. I'd want considerably more tha my standard hourly rate to exceed 38 hours a week as well.

Tortious interference is the deliberate interference with a contract between the target and a third party, and generally requires the intent to disrupt performance of that contract. Submitting fake job applications doesn't fit the bill: there's no contractual relationship that it interferes with.

Protest needs to be disruptive or inconvenient in some way to draw any kind of attention or have an impact. Otherwise the complaints can be entirely ignored, but that often seems to be the goal of corporate-sanctioned protest; get everyone who is angry to channel their energy into something time consuming but utterly ineffective.

Categorizing a publicly organised protest tactic as a "cartel" seems like a stretch too, especially when on the other side we're looking at a company in a market with maybe three or four major players? If one was casting an eye for cartel-ish behaviour one should probably start with the major cereal companies, before going after a bunch of randos on Reddit.
HK democracy for example is seen as such a threat to China that it must defacto invade HK to stop democracy from overthrowing the CCP. Same with these other areas and Chinese involvement.
It’s not the consensus mechanism that matters, it’s the enforcement of the relation between a record of ownership and an actual physical asset. Ownership of a token or wallet may be inalienably ensured by the blockchain. The right use that property for one’s benefit in the physical world must be enforced by someone’s violence - the owner, if not their agent, if not the state. A irrevocable deed on a blockchain is worthless if it does not also entitle me to forcibly dispossess someone of the property, and preferably the agents to do that on my behalf.

I can own a share on a blockchain, but if I execute a takeover who will cut the locks on the factory gates? I can buy a house, but who will evict the squatters? I can buy lunch with ETH, but I can’t eat it if someone with a gun suggests I hand it over.
As I said, at one time it was taught that clauses separated by semicolons should have their own subjects and verbs.
I don't think fiction is Brian Herbert's gift. If you haven't, I encourage you to read Dreamer of Dune. It's his biography of Frank Herbert. While I loathe his contribution to fiction, I found his biography of his dad well done and rather touching.

"the bulk of NFTs". Are you implying a majority of NFTs do this? If so, I don't think that's correct. At least it very much doesn't jive with my experience or the creators I know.

I often compare VR to 3D during the 80s. It's still early. I don't think it'll take over though. It's just uncomfortable sitting in a headset for too long, like there's a human instinct to see if someone else is in the same room as you or something.

> Why is it objectively better to have less rear visibility?

Because it's an artifact of the tapered afterbody that makes the cars the most energy-efficient on the road. Teslas beat every other EV on range, and the tiny handful of cars that do better (Lucid Air being the most notable) do so with significantly larger batteries. Everything has tradeoffs.

FWIW: a few years of driving a van in my youth cured me of reliance on the center mirror anyway. This is very much an ejectable feature in my mind, something very much worth trading for ~30 miles of extra range or whatever.

There are plenty of other quirks like this. The Y has a very poor turning radius (to reduce the void size in the wheel wells) too. It only comes in five boring colors. The third row seating is real and useful, but the headroom is comically small (same tapered afterbody). Everyone has their own list. The car isn't perfect.

But it's absolutely as close to perfect as anything else I've driven.

The entire matter in question is whether CSV is encoding-independent, operating on bytes (we’re addressing AndyKelley’s comment). The answer clearly demonstrated here is: no, CSV is operating upon characters, not bytes, so you need to decode the Unicode first and let the CSV operate on Unicode data, so that it’s splitting on U+002C, rather than 0x2C in the byte stream before Unicode decoding which destroys the data.

I agree with the article you've linked (although the graphs are either mislabelled or being used to illustrate a different experiment from the one they're actually taken from; in the Kim et al setup R03 is not R01 + R02, it's a measurement from a different detector). How do you think it contradicts what I said?
No. We do not need more regulation.
> HK democracy for example is seen as such a threat to China that it must defacto invade HK to stop democracy from overthrowing the CCP.

Which it has largely done, and moves on. Saying it's not resilient enough to handle the situation seems to be wishful thinking in that case (and is obviously false in the case of Tiananmen Square or Tibet.)
Oh yeah - I've also been on the other side of the boat. Our big corp company sold off a division...we had a certain amount of time (months...) to split everything off and hand everything over. In some cases we had to rewrite entire applications to work with their xyz software/infrastructure/tech stack, whatever. If we don't meet the deadline, company pays a penalty per day or whatever. In other words - high priority.

We had to realign projects, drop projects, carve out resources. This also means anytime we had any requests as OP is mentioning, we get in front of the line if we mention the magic words.

My point is - if something is important at Big Corp, it gets done. If it's not getting done, it probably isn't as important as you think it is.

Another example is - this recent log4j security vulnerability. You think people sat around waiting for approvals? Hah. Every application had a few days to fix test and deploy. People were called back from vacations. Deployment freezes were magically unfrozen.
Thanks for posting because it confirms to me that it is not something with my system specifically.
I don't take vacations anymore, it's more stressful than it's worth.

That’s my point. The CCP appears so weak that anything scary must be attacked viciously. Admit no fault. Allow no dissent. If the CCP was stable and strong it wouldn’t need to invade HK. The invasion demonstrates the weakness.

While I have no evidence in this particular case, if I wanted to promote a book, I could imagine making up a related, positive story, which just happens to mention the book positively, and posting it on a popular social media site (I put the book in my cart). Then one could follow up with a softball opposing story on another site to get some controversy and thus visibility.

Probably someone will cross link for you (I thought about doing that when I saw the headline). If not, a sock puppet can point out the link, and the book, again.

TBH these two stories have the exaggerated perfection that characterizes fake stories. And the fact that they arrived so close together makes me very suspicious.
