This was a very refreshing read and interesting how hostile many commenters get at the mere suggestion that a pull, an injection or even surgery may not always be the right answer.

Maybe it is because she seems to hint that many patients have too much faith in the MD.

Considering how curated we have been for the past 30 years ( I just picked a number there that firs my personal narrative ) to dogmatize science this of course can feel like a personal attack.

I am extremely happy to seee younger doctors embrace personal responsibility, environment and other factors than just chemical compounds when it comes to health.

We are complex beings and we know for a fact we are overweight, overmedicated and depressed.

At least in europe.

North europeans especially in the Nordics suffer from lonliness.

There are a myriad of side effects attributed to lonliness, elevated bloodpressure and increased risk of heart attack is one.
I am not sourcing this, there are so many high quality studies on this. A small search will get you dozens of good results.

Anyway, my point was.

If your bloodpressure is elevated because you are depressed and lonely.
The classic “yeah science” person gets the blood pressure medication from the MD.
He will never be cured by that medication.

He will possibly suffer side effects.

Had he been lucky enough tontalk to this woman, she might have identified his bp in a holistic way and suggested social settings.

In this instance his high bp would have been cured.

Holistically if he is obese.
A smoker or high stress job.
We all know the answer to curing the bp in that case.

None involve tablets or injections.

But then there are of course cases where the bp is for example caused by other life saving medication.

Cancer medication can can cause extremely high blood sugar levels.

You dont tell the cancer patient to just change their diet and start taking the stairs.

Holistic means just that I think.

It is way overdue we start taking a little responsability of our own bodies and use our best judgement when to seek an MD.

The cure is not always in the pill.
Just say "no"? And do what? Lot's of folks are supporting others, or need to support themselves.

"Sorry my sweet daughter, no cancer treatment this week, I said no to that job."

Which is also addressed in this article, though as a note at the end.
I agree, I think deep learning is necessary to create human class AI bots, but the current state of the art requires more compute than anyone can afford. Also applying that to computer strategy games is extremely hard to do, so you can't just sprinkle a bit on top and hope to make it better, it requires a lot of manpower from world leading experts to get results. This means that deep learning as of now isn't very useful for making strategy game AI's.

Yes, most certainly people sure do want to ssh into my servers.
The latest and greatest so called “AI” is very very far from being even close to be called intelligent. I laugh every time a company take their 20 year old optimisation/schedule/control software and slap an “AI” sticker on it for marketing purposes. Yes there are amazing results in very limited synthetic environments like games and image pattern matching. But there is still a very long way to go before we have anything that can compete with a 1 year old child.
> Do these requirements apply to backup generators... for ensuring IT functionality... medical facilities

The regulation covers small off-road engines, i.e. less than 25 horsepower [1, page 8]. Hospitals and data centers generally use much larger diesel generators for backup power.

Allowances are made for emergency response [1, page 18].

> Is that 2000 USD a month?

Most probably, the average salary here is about 5000-6000USD/year if you're lucky and have a legally registered job(about 5-10% of the population). Most people have informal jobs and make less than that.

> Do you know how much a talented computer programmer gets paid in Argentina (or is that what you mean by IT)?

I have a friend working for MercadoLibre at a senior engineer position and last time we talked he was making almost 1000USD/month. I work remotely for a foreign company and make 4000USD/month having half of his experience.

> I'm thinking that Argentina seems like a good place to go to start a startup. What do you think? What problems would I run into aside from language?

As much as I'd love for this country to move forward, companies are leaving more than coming to the country, it's a TERRIBLE place for startups due to:

1. Aggressive taxing that gets worse and worse every year that passes

2. Terribly slow times for legal processes, like getting your paperwork done to start your company

3. We have a track record of the state wanting to confiscate bank funds

4. Depending on the trade you choose, you might face heavy opposition from the current monopolies, like it already happened with taxi unions against Uber, or MercadoLibre putting pressure to prevent Ebay from coming to the country.

Maybe if you come from a wealthy country it may not seem like too much of an issue as it might look cheap, but I personally tried to have small business multiple times and time and time again some new government measure or tax or government change made it unsustainable.
This law in question does not go into effect until _2028_
For what its worth, this is a difficult concept for most people to understand. I've held crypto since the early days, went to ethereum believing in POS, then crypto "3.0", and only now have I returned realizing what it all meant. Granted most people barely understand how the economy today works, many times out of denial.
Your manager's boss shouldn't have given you criticism without your manager being there. You and your manager are the most informed about your work and it should have been a discussion among the three of you.

I think you're going to get more of the same. If not directly from your manager's boss, it will be passed down to you. And again you will be puzzled. It won't quite add up and will feel like you and your bosses are on a different page.

I would make sure to stay at least a year, then find something else.

It seems the world of management is full of petty narcissistic control freaks.

It can sure seem that way -- and no doubt is that way, in certain situations.

More often I find they're simply ... scared. Of how they'll be evaluated, or what will happen if they make a mistake (or heavens, let someone below them make a mistake). Or of simply being "found out" (that they're not nearly as experienced or as sage in their advice as others have made them out to be).

Yes. The fact that you have to qualify that the ‘neutral’ trait isn’t ‘necessarily’ bad implies that you think people might think it was bad.

You wouldn’t need to qualify it otherwise.
>No, California Is Not Going to Take Your Generator Away

>If these rules are adopted as proposed, emissions standards for SOREs will be raised to technically infeasible levels from 2024 onwards, effectively prohibiting production of SOREs for the California market. Generators are included in this, although they will not be completely restricted until 2028

I'm really hate the framing/title of this article. It almost reads like the "clinton 'acid washed' her email server" fact check[1]. It sets up a strawman premise, proceeds to fact check/debunk it on some minor technicality, and begrudgingly admits the general point is true in the middle of the article.

I mean, who seriously thinks the state of calfiornia is literally going to go around and seize everyone's gas generators? I searched for "california generator bill" and the top 5 results all mention the ban was limited to the sale of gas generators in either the title or google's snippet.

Intel strikes me as a company that basically needs a chorus of folks to sing to them, "change your tune, you know what to dooooo"

Whatever beef Jim had, they should probably just fix that. Intel is just a really fancy machine shop with a small design firm on the side that has the blue prints for something that lots of people want. Until they don't.

Open your fabs, open your engineering services and you will be the largest force in semiconductors. Hell, even if Intel's designs were 100% open source, they could still smoke.

Then you fail to see the usefulness of specificity and efficiency in speech, which is both weird and explains why it took you so many words to say that.
> You agree that the majority of the fortune 50 is holds more debt than credit, right?

No. Not at all. Apple, #3 on the list for example, has hundreds of billions its loaning out because it has nothing better to do with its excess cash [1]. Almost every company on that list has positive total equity, some on them on the orders of hundreds of billions of dollars.

> We don't have to speculate about how much debt rich people have, you can look at what % of equities is owned by the upper class and you can go compare consumer debt to corporate debt.

I'm really baffled at what you mean by this? Yes, the rich own most equity. But how do you interpret this has having more debt? Equity isn't debt, it's ownership in a company.

> Now as to the banking system, there's a little bit of a feedback loop here because they're really the ones creating money, so no they're not really a net creditor either. I owe my bank 700k on my house, but that's new money being created in some respects.

Sort of? Banks don't get to regulate currency supply, the Fed does. It's true that banks leverage more than they have in their reserve, but that doesn't necessarily increase the money supply.

And my point is if you owe 700k on your house and inflation doubles (all prices go up 2x, but so do all wages) then this is very good for you. You effectively got a house for half the price. If you are a multi-millionaire real estate mogul who's writing mortage loans, then this not good for you. That money invested in the home loan isn't even going to keep up with inflation.

A black swan event can justify changing a prediction. Musk couldn't know in 2019 that in 2020 and 2021 everybody would pass much more time at home, nobody would travel to the airport or to the workplace for months and therefore the number of taxi customers would run dry overnight. None of us would be able to predict that.

Stop and rethink your plan seems reasonable in this circumstances.
I can't speak for all of the Middle East, but it is known that morocco buys enormous amounts of grain and stockpiles huge reserves for exactly that reason. Everyone knows that once bread starts missing, there's no going back. So while the state is very very bad at doing a lot of stuff, and is plagued with corruption at all levels, it's been reliably very good at getting grain and making sure the prices are fine no matter the costs.

I've had family members who were more or less in charge of the state procurement of grains, and they have always always put an emphasis on how seriously the whole thing is dealt with. I wonder how the current price swings are hurting the state coffer, though. But, once governments can't afford the subsidies, you get situations like what's currently happening in Kazakhstan.

Unlike leaf blowers, backup electricity doesn't have a huge negative externality for everyone else unless the power grid collapses (like, if you only have a few hours of grid power per day, or none), just because the total consumption is so low. But Chinese "libertarian" policies have removed even that externality in many cases by dropping the price of solar panels to well below the price of fossil-fuel energy, which means that more and more energy (backup and otherwise) will be generated from sunlight instead of fossil fuels.

To play devils advocate, there is a cost associated with enforcing this law and this is effectively paid for by the tax payers. There is a cost for complying with the law, this generally disadvantages small and new business. If only CA(and CO and NYC and CT) have this requirement it makes them less desirable places to start a new business, to hire additional employees.

But the costs for a law like this are not prohibitive
Oh yes. That whole thing is better to be left alone, or used as a plot point in a novel as you say :)
I’ve got to think about that one, it definitely seems worthy of consideration, thanks for adding. I have noticed in my life that my expenditure does grow to meet my income, and earning more money (getting a new job or a big raise or a bonus) never feels like that much more because it’s so easy to use up the extra. My life seems to expand and contract to match whatever money I’ve got. In that sense, the comment you read feels true.

On the other hand, it’s typically employers that generally control hours and pay, and employers that both seek and use most of the profits from productivity; employees often only get the scraps. If employers are the major force for asking people to work hard, and offering jobs and pay, how does that fit into the idea of debt eating the productivity gains? Are we talking about corporate debt here?

Im uninterested in my devices & functionality i use being ever subject to legal brawls, these ones & in general.

Spotify is under no obligation to offer Fair Reasonable and Non-discrimatory license agreements. To say that license agreements are routine ignores the other half the time that agreements dont work out easily. A patent holder can hold the entire world back at their pleasure. In this case, over a couple line shell scripts we could teach middleschoolers in Hour of Code day.

I have little sympathy for what feels like ambiguous legal murk you've layered over my concern. These particulars seem uninteresting amid what seems like yet another nimwitted IP fuck up that idoot grade patents were handed out to bloodthirsty IP robber barons. Once again consumers are in the crosshair. And this time we cannot seek alternate remedy, our devices are all beholden & bound up, controlled by solitary companies, vulnerable to legal assault. This is an unhealthy technical ecosystem, & it's unhealth has made it subject to wide forms of cruel & vicious legal attack on endless fronts, from an incompetent legal system.

The claims of BLM and allied activists are not so measured and reasonable as the shorthand you propose:

> At BLM protests, and from BLM proponents, we have since heard that “it’s open season” for police to kill black people, and that police are “hunting” black people. According to the BLM website itself, “Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise” by “state-sanctioned violence against Black people''.
That's a real rich-person mentality.

When you go out of your way to create a programming language for interviews that says to me that you think you are smarter than everyone else and you have nothing better to do than prove it by belittling candidates until you find one with the balls to push back. That is a brogrammer move.

Further, I'll naturally assume your entire workplace culture is poisoned by code ownership and interpersonal hostility and that your most promising employees "failed" your recruiting tests or quit following an endless barrage of bike shedding code reviews.

I've already done enough "ping-pong balls in the aircraft" nonsense that I tell recruiters up front that questions like these and other make work tasks designed to make the interviewer feel superior will simply not be tolerated and I will and have walked out of such interviews.

I once was interviewed for a C# position but then when on site asked to complete a coding assignment in Visual Basic on a computer with no mouse. I told them to go fornicate themselves just as I would today if asked to compete coding tasks in some made up language.

I didn't want to be the first one to bring it up so thank you. I was also surprised by the parallels with gun laws in California, even to the sophistry about "it's not a ban, we're just introducing requirements that are impossible to comply with"

e.g. new generators won't literally be banned, but there's a de facto ban because "emissions standards for SOREs will be raised to technically infeasible levels". Similarly, the CA handgun roster isn't literally a ban on new handguns, it's just a de facto ban because in order for a new handgun to be legal it needs to incorporate technology that doesn't exist.

If I'll want to refer to you and this conversation when talking to someone else, I don't need to refer to your gender at all. Just like I don't need to refer to your race, your social class or color of your hair. Stopping to consider whether I should use "he" or "she" (or maybe something else) is the exact opposite of efficiency in speech.

It seems to me that it's actually you who misunderstands the usefulness of specificity. It's not useful to be overspecific.
Well... no, nobody is really hyped about them, but I do think as a technology it is more worthy of the web3 moniker than anything in cryptocurrency land. I like the fediverse, and the user experience is decent, at the same time, there's not really a great reason to branch out and use it if you're living in twitter land, the product is basically at parity with twitter, it needs something to differentiate it (for the masses).

I don't use sorbet myself yet (although I am a ruby user), so this is not coming from any kind of educated basis, just an outside observer being curious, but I'm curious:

> We don't currently have a plan or a desire to get to a state where upgrading to a new Sorbet version will not introduce new errors on a codebase that previously type checked, which is what I think you might imply you want out of a v1.0 release.

That surprises me enough that I had to read it a couple times to make sure I was understanding how all the "not"s came out. I'd think that would be a thing you would straightforwardly want out of at type checker, the thing you said you don't have a plan or desire for.
