My idea is to give a home for creators to find jobs without swarming into the multitude of job postings out there. So, I began coding a full-stack web app exclusively to post creator jobs but wait, there is another way I can do it in just 3 mins.

Here it is: https://twitter.com/jobs4creators

Yes, a Twitter profile. It got everything a job board needs. It has a domain, hosting, messaging service, instant update, etc. So why bother building an app?

It's simple for creators to access job openings too. I just went with it.

The kind of jobs postings I expect here are content creators, copywriters, marketers, video makers, designers, etc.
Sounds pretty trite to me.
As an aside on the topic of board games, I have been trying to find interesting board games that I can play with my daughter. She has no interest in computers and the local toy store only has the ordinary staples like Monopoly. Based on what I have observed, she will not be interested in anything involved or too complicated (though she loves Lego and is obsessed with dragons so there is still a glimmer of hope). Any recommendations for two-person board games? I can live with ordering online as long as the game is good.
For a Canadian card, put the numbers from your postcode then add zeroes until you get to five digits. I've never tried this myself, but gas stations in Niagara Falls NY will commonly have signs about it.
The debate is pretty clearly settled as both a matter of law and a matter of fact - Feynman's estate sold the letters. If you're the legal owner of your grandmother's intimate notes, you can make your own choice.
Any citations for your first point?
OK. We'll see. I think there's lots of confounds-- e.g. vastly differing vaccination rates among children vs. the population at large.

In any case, we have actual case control studies showing mRNA vaccine efficacy against illness and particularly against severe illness from Omicron. They disagree on the amounts, and in some cases the numbers are not thrilling (30%), but there's no studies so far implying no efficacy.

The study we're discussing here concludes its abstract with: "These data support the notion that, provided high neutralization capacity is elicited by vaccination/boosting approaches, reasonable effectiveness against Omicron may be maintained."

The lockdowns made it worse, I'm convinced of that. Healthy people staying indoors for months, not allowed to go to the gym, gaining weight and damaging their immune system and mental health.
It's a paradox of division. For each person having internet improves qualify of life. But does the internet improve the whole society?

As noted below, very few credit cards offer primary insurance. The secondary insurance that the majority offer is mostly worthless.

> Who said anything about "societal norms"?

The parent comment, by context, was inferring from societal norms. You yourself now say you pointed out how there is "no justification was even given for a claim." That means you are ignoring the parent comments context, which is societal norms. The justification is implied to be societally defined normal behavior. You can ask anyone why they shouldn't steal - it would be related to societal norms / morals. But then your answer, by analogy, would be to discard those arguments.

> I didn't make any logical response to the non-argument (which wouldn't make sense to even try), instead I made a meta-response ABOUT the fact of non-argument.

The assertion that it was a non-argument is based on the rejection of its context.
I keep a lot of it in reserve but don't use it daily any more. I was using it for a while in combination with several other molecules to try to improve liver enzyme numbers but found TUDCA and Choline formerly B8 to be much more effective for what I was trying to do. It is good to keep on hand however especially given the multiple attempts to reclassify it as a prescription drug. I used to use it daily and had no side effects or noticeable effects at all.

Here [1] is a nice summary of NAC.

“The vaccines don't seem to confer any lasting difference.“

Why would we expect vaccine derived coronavirus-19 immunity to be substantially longer than natural other-coronavirus immunity, which we know to be months, not years.
Your second sentence seems like the most promising path to helpful discussion. It sounds like you're saying the Khan preprint is wrong because of an association with McCullough, but I don't know the name and it doesn't appear in the study (I haven't listened to the podcast.) I'm sure there's more to what you mean by disagreeing with the mechanism the other user proposed.
I used to buy millions of dollars of ads for major brands including Verizon and NBC Universal. You’re right and wrong at the same time. If Clorox accidentally bought $1MM of ads on Pornhub would it hurt their bottom line? No. It might be help it with clever creative.

It’s all about Christmas bonuses or quarterly bonuses. High level executives are notoriously conservative and DO NOT rock the boat. All it takes is enough moralizing hypocrites seeing an ad in the wrong place or emailing the company or whipping up a Twitter cancellation and suddenly their career aspirations are at risk. And they are incredibly replaceable.
So close to getting to the actual root issue (ambient authority), but so far away (blaming the programmer, instead of structural deficits in the OS).

We need operating systems that don't hand out authority like candy if we're ever going to have the usability and freedom that we used to have in the 1980s with floppy based IBM PCs running MS-DOS.

I'm constantly dismayed at the ongoing failure of imagination that accepts a security model designed for a computer shared by co-workers in a small department in a corporation, as the model to chose in the age of mobile code and persistent networking.

It's as if we've designed our infrastructure out of crates of Dynamite and wonder why things keep blowing up.
I don't think it's _not_ the fault of those at the top. Every level needs to be cognizant of the effects of "forward the comms" culture. Ultimately I think it should be the top that takes the responsibility. Unfortunately it seems like the law only mandates writing down the current culture, though hopefully it's the first step to challenging employers based on what they wrote down.
As with many things related to travel, most of the time it works and nobody really cares, some smaller percentage of the time it's an inconvenience customers will grumble about but put up with, and then very occasionally it's a deal-breaking experience. If you don't travel that often, chances are you had a bunch of "it just worked" experiences and maybe one or two "grumbly inconvenience" ones.
...Maybe?

Not in a dehumanizing way, but cultural norms are sometimes there for a reason. As unfortunate as it is, being overweight is unhealthy, and while I don't think people should be looked at as less than human, they should know that their life choices are frowned upon.
Not true, it will bypass the ZIP requirement based on BIN, the BIN is the first 6 digits of the credit card, or bank identification number. They will not enforce zip on foreign non USA issued credit cards.

I've used Japanese credit cards on the same pumps I use USA based one, and no issue at all. Both Visa and JCB branded.

Worse comes to worse, go inside and do a purchase via credit card for gas. The same way as if the point of sale at the pump was broken or defective, no gas station will refuse this. If worse comes to worse, just say the machine wouldn't take your card - works easier then explaining you're a tourist with a foreign card.
I thought that was what these vaccines specifically don't do: they select for the spike protein of the original variant and ignore others, whereas natural infection generates a broader response that will target a variety of proteins. Has that changed?
That's just plainly not true, as a matter of government policy. There's a soft mandate in some settings like hospitals. Otherwise it's up to the employer, and there are tons of employers without policies.
Some things are objectively bad. Like infant mortality, which is made worse by a lack of medical care. Or diseases, no matter how surrounded by death you are illness is difficult. My belief is that we don't need to make everyone else believe the same things we do or act like we do-- but we do have a moral duty to equalize access to necessities like medical care
AFAIK Amazon were the only ones that complied with this. Plenty of other stores still carry NAC. It's cheap so I stocked up on it just in case.

> In fact most Americans over-estimate the amount of economic mobility that we have

Your link seems to say otherwise. If economic mobility were low then most rich families would not see their wealth meaningfully eroded for generations. This was the case in feudal Europe and many ancient empires like Rome. The fact that most families lose wealth in 3 generations due to mismanagement implies someone else is gaining that lost wealth - ergo economic mobility should be high.

Personally I feel the economic mobility afforded by high paying jobs and widespread capital in the US is unmatched. I started making more money than my parents by my junior year in college and genuinely feel like I have a non-zero chance at hitting 25 million USD net worth during my life. I have friends who have gotten millions of dollars in startup funding and have 10+ paid employees. You can't say the same if you live in Europe.
Given the generally accepted ideal of equality in the rich and educated world it strikes me as crazy that we continue to work hard to keep refugees out of our islands of wealth instead of structurally working on improving the chances of all people on earth. We seem to just turn a blind eye to this huge inequality or even increase and abuse it when it suits us. For example: Why don't we apply our minimum wage laws to the cheap foreign labor we depend on for our cheap products? Why don't we spend a significant part of our riches on improving education across the world? The same goes for universal food and health care. Why do we apparently feel that people who happen to be born somewhere else are inherently less valuable than us? Imagine what we could achieve if we would maximize the chances given to all people. We would all become richer from it together in the long run. But somehow even just thinking about something like this mostly just makes others laugh or at best uncomfortably chuckle at such a silly idealist.
I’ve noticed that touchless cards (with the symbol that looks like a sideways wifi logo) don’t ask for a zip code when you use then touchlessly. Not sure how common this feature is on cards issued outside the US though.
> assumes that everyone has an equal capacity to pay

No, it does not. Nor does it assume equal willingness to pay, or equal utility to the buyer, or perfect information.
This is a great example of the kinds of background info that become the price of impatience.
"Ponzi" isn't an apt name for stocks that can't turn a profit. They're just inherently bad ideas with hype.

That said, this is a good article and definitely presages bad times ahead for growth stocks. Not just the unprofitable ones. (I've been modestly cycling out of growth and into value and cyclicals.)

Any advice on stocks to short?

This article seems built on a foundation of 20/20 hindsight. It would be more credible if it pointed out examples that haven't (yet?) dropped dramatically.
> Yet in some of the world’s poorest nations, getting online can cost a staggering 20 per cent or more of per capita GNI.

This statistic jumps out at me. Assuming that GNI per capita approximately equals average income, it may be the case that cash incomes are so low that connectivity is a luxury in some ways (people spend 20% of their incomes on something like housing or feeding themselves, not paying their internet bills).
The longer someone is at the counter, the more likely you are to see them. You’re biased towards seeing the relatively few people who take half an hour.
Having spent time in several East-Asian countries how masks during a pandemic became some political hot topic in some places still confuses the hell out of me.
Intuition isnt some sort of gut feeling, or advanced pattern matching. Intuition is more like "soul's ear" that cannot be wrong. But very few people have it and tend to confuse their biases and ignorance with intuition.
I wasn't talking about updates. The user maybe hates using the platform at all. Or maybe doesn't think about it. But either way, knows there's no choice.

Network effect, or else some other monopoly, determines where you have to go to find jobs, where you go to meet girls, what kind of currency you have to pretend has value, etc.
Same thing at drive up ATMs. it feels like people are applying for a mortgage or opening retirement accounts when I'm behind them waiting. And... I know it's an exaggeration, but often I will time the person or people in front of me. Someone taking up to 1 minute - I don't generally mind (unless theres 3 people ahead of me). However, I've often sat behind someone who takes 3-4 minutes, and I can not figure out what the hell they're doing.

That said, I think I've only used an ATM 3x in the past year, so this may mostly be a thing of the past now.
> When in history have we vaccinated to prevent side effects?

Polio.

* Around 72% have no symptoms.

* Around 25% have flu-like symptoms.

* The remaining 3% develop serious symptoms/damage.

* Paralytic polio hits around 0.5%, of which around 5-10% die when the paralysis reaches the lungs.

So including all infections, not just paralytic polio as you'll find in most searches (where they give the 5-10% statistic), the death rate was around 0.01% - 0.025%

The flip side of getting great performance is all the exposure to security vulnerabilities.

Git seems to have an excellent security track record: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-4008... However, I think the right claim here is, "be very sure you have the chops to benefit from C's speed without compromising security."
IIRC the most popular Reddit app on iOS is Apollo, which is just a solo developer.
It's true that culture can make you poor, by the means of setting your mindset.

I've seen people in the towns of South America (i.e. not the main cities) whose family traditions set them on a path of "wait to be given" instead of "go and get it" mentality. Of course, this never materializes, and the person lives their life impoverished.

Money is such a taboo in these families, that you end up thinking it's dirty until it's engraved in your subconscious. You don't even think about these exact words anymore.

If money is not within your first 3 priorities at life and you happen to have victim mindset, be ready to starve.

Also, if you're a teenage girl, depending on your culture, your family seems to be peer pressuring you to be a mother, because that's the only source of life meaning they know. Breaking such a mold will take a toll on your family acceptance, for which you'll need to grow a thick skin.
Well that opens up a niche to actually start a rental car business called “Real Reservations” and charge extra for actually reserving the car the customer is willing to pay extra premium for.
> the flu was somehow eradicated at the outset of mass covid testing, many of the covid tests did not distinguish between the flu and covid.

What do you mean when you say that tests did not distinguish between COVID and the flu? Are you referring to simultaneous infection? I'm not aware of any PCR or antigen tests for COVID which would produce positive results for flu patients. Nor any antigen or rapid molecular assays for the flu which would produce positives for COVID patients.

Seems much more reasonable that social distancing and masking significantly reduced flu transmission.
Vaccine-derived immunity often outperforms immunity from natural infection. For COVID-19, it looks like this is true, but not by nearly as much as we'd like.
Not much unique information here.

TLDR: Ponzi schemes are bad and unwind quickly. They can take the form of "normal companies". Peloton being one example (according to the author).

What's more interesting to me is just because a company may be a Ponzi scheme - which is bad for investors - doesn't mean the products are bad for consumers. It's almost like a wealth transfer instead.

Investors support a business that consumers buy into, the investors get wiped out once the company unravels and lose, but the consumers who bought use and continue to use the products get to keep the product - assuming in this concrete case that Peloton doesn't lock everyone out remotely.

This doesn't mean the company is bad, just that it's a bad investment. The product can still be extremely successful and useful.

Does this mean the company failed to deliver value? Depends on who you ask. The consumers who bought the products will say no. Only the investors will say yes.

Companies exist for reasons beyond returns to investors. They should aim to be sustainable, but if they're not, it doesn't necessarily mean they're a "bad" company.

I'd be in favor of this change iff capital losses could offset capital gains infinitely forward and backward in time with no limits.
There is something odd with the stats. If we look at individual age groups listed, the cases for unvaccinated is multiple x higher than fully vaccinated. Then if one looks back at "all ages", the cases per 100,000 people are almost the same. Is there a bug with the charts?
> They might still be right; this is only a pre-print, only focused on one specific aspect of COVID and the effect size is small.

There was a study of Canadian data (Ontario) recently as well which interestingly showed large differences depending on the combo (Pfizer/Pfizer, Pfizer/Moderna, Moderna/Moderna, Moderna/Pfizer) of 1st and 2nd shot: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.02.21267156v...
Your coding interviews are THE filter that discriminates older people. They designed in leetcode-manner and that's clearly a sign that you want younger developers.
I would also love to see this. I fear that we're not bringing a first principles approach to Omicron. It's different enough that I don't think we can apply many findings from previous strains. Is fomite transmission still rare? Asymptomatic spread still happening?

By the same token, does infection with omicron have any impact on your likelihood to catch Delta or other variants? The inverse appears to be vanishingly small.
Thank you for such a detailed reply! I’ve been wondering if Godot might be a competitor to flutter, after hearing the Tesla news, but looks like that’s a far fetched dream.

I am surprised that building GUI was that much of a pain given that Godot UI itself is built with Nodes (I think).
The idea that education (in terms of knowledge and skill acquisition) is zero sum is wrong. Educational equality starts with parents giving a shit about their kids' education. Why do you think Asians overachieve on every benchmark we have? Could it possibly be because there are cultural factors that motivate parents to care very strongly about their childrens' education?

America spends the most in the world per capita on our schools and has terrible results. It's clear that tossing more money into a black hole won't fix the problem.

Anecdotally, in high school I never heard any white/Latino/black friend joke about getting yelled at if they got a B.

> unpaid internships

You might want to take a look at levels.fyi. Internship salaries are higher than a lot of full time jobs nowadays.
I think the analogy is quite correct. I am a fairly accomplished technologist but have failed every google/facebook interview I've had. I just can't do leetcode, and study for the interview. After a few failed interviews, I just don't accept interviews from such companies any more. I still make a decent living. Could I become rich at a FANG? Of course .. but there are other things more important to me to study (I study all the time .. just follow my curiosity .. not for tests). So my one piece of advice for the OP is aim a bit lower... there are tons of companies that are not fangs and still pay reasonably well for hard working, smart techies.
What about kids in poverty in the US? Are you sure they're getting a good education? Are they hungry when they go to school? How hard is it to learn when you don't have good nutrition?

>... why not use them now while they don't rather than giving in and just using Google and accepting the surveillance?

That user sounds like they do use DDG but are cautious about how their business model may change in the future. They even think more people should be using it:

>I argue that people should use DuckDuckGo.

They're just advocating for awareness. If anything, their stance is what all of us who regularly use DDG should take, so that DDG is aware that their userbase would be likely to seek other alternatives should they change their ways. It keeps the pressure on them to "do right".
So does Tumblr, the way the article put it was that any site with user generated content would inevitably have awful things posted that get missed and might get randomly discovered by the randomly assigned reviewer's search and judge by the random reviewer's standards loosely based on some hidden guideline.

I don't know about these statistics, but Tumblr is definitely NSFW-only, that was the whole deal back in 2018 that got everyone angry at them. There were some other minor differences about defaults suggested in the article as well, it didn't seem especially conspiratorial.

Of course, tolerating twitter due to its size and ability to single handedly generate PR doesn't seem that conspiratorial to me. I'd be kind of surprised if that wasn't a big factor in double and quadruple checking the results before taking action instead of the reverse.
Is that necessarily the case? From what I've heard, Rust offers great performance and safety.
Can you share those numbers?
Because we can't afford to do that, and if we tried, all that would happen is our own standard of living would go down the toilet.
