It helps with awareness, but it's the structure of the interests that put them in power that create the pollution. Unfortunately the polluters help them get in power in the first place.
> A lot of a manager's job IMO is to shield his devs from this kind of deadline pressure and negativity.

No. It's to shield upper management from consequences of their crassness. That kind of negativity pisses off the devs and they end up either quitting, sometimes on the spot or seriously underperforming while lining up another job. Either way it's the company that pays for these unfortunate negative exchanges.
I certainly couldn't ever seriously consider early stage startups, as my spouse is unfortunately heavily dependent on my healthcare. It'd be cool if that was no longer a blocker.

Hi there, I'm Maia and I'm looking to contribute as a software developer. My skillset comes from evolutionary genetics, with a masters in computational biology and having worked in biotech as a software developer for the last few years. I am not bound to bioinformatics or the health field; in fact I would love to explore new domains and companies.

Prioritizing:
* Strong technical leadership: past teams have shown me that I value this more than the product.
* Team dynamics and processes: several people working together, with regular feedback and opportunities for growth (eg: pairing, code review, prototyping new ideas).
* Exploring medium to larger companies after working at two startups to try something different.

Other related skills/knowledge I have:
* Biology and health: largely cancer research implemented in clinical applications such as variant discovery, filtering, annotation in human genome/exome. Some phylogenetics and comparative genomics between species (plants, protists).
* Math/statistics/machine learning: participated in several project throughout graduate school, developed some as part of industry work, attended workshops and gave guest lectures (eg: AI in health)

I'm taking my time to learn about the space and would love to hear from you if you have tips to share in addition to jobs and hiring opportunities. I am not currently interested in part-time or contract work.

It's a rather bad faith statement. What exactly had built your current level of awareness of Russia's peacekeeping practices?

Also, no idea where you got that "long history of dealing with rebellions and uprisings", Russian attitude to riots is very specific and history counts only really a few and only bright moments.

Russians don't even have a culture of riot police, just look at all their protest! Putin forces his servicemen to use use brute force and rubber battons, instead of proper tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons, such as you would see in any developed first-world country.
> HPC applications AVX-512 is rarely used

Your applications don't do linear algebra or FFT? AVX-512 is overrated for HPC generally, but it's surely going to be used by an optimized BLAS (unless there's only one FMA unit per core if the implementation is careful).

Compute nodes actually should have a big.little structure with a service core for the batch daemon etc.

Elsewhere, I see ~130 AVX512 instructions in this Debian system's libc.
Unfortunately we are not in the position to set the price point by consensus or market expectation but by realistic cost of providing the service at a given level of quality, in a way that potentially ensures sustainability and serving the customers long-term.
The doom and gloom types might say the end of the world is only 2 years away,

The only way I've had any success managing a 74 year old who will give his credit card number to anyone who asked in the past is with a 2 pronged approach. One side is for when they are thinking clearly, and another is to protect them from quick click mistakes, like getting texted a link.

1) you are now their secretary. You must help manage their payments. Getting old is hard and they need help. You have to talk to them and let them know they can rely on you, and shouldn't make any decisions on their own. This has been the best decision I've made. You should not restrict them from making payments but you should strongly encourage them to consult you, and also independently watch out for suspicious transactions on their accounts.

2) android phones can use family share, a service that can restrict app installations and where your browser is allowed to go. I get a notification on my watch when the user wants to go to a new link. Old sites are automatically approved. This will not work on a child because there is a way to opt out on the device.

3) get them a new phone number, and port their old number to google voice. Make the old number go to voicemail without ringing their current phone, and the new number forward voicemails to the old number. Set outbound calls to come from the old number. Many times when scammers identify a senile accessible user they're put on a list and get cold calls and targeting from these groups. You must have break that cycle of communication. New emails new phone numbers. Turn off notifications for the old numbers but give them access. When they go to seek out the information they will most likely be in the right mind.

The key here is to approach them and say I want to help. In my situation I only got involved once all of the money was gone so I was really the only way out. It made it a lot easier to get them to buy in.

If I had gotten involved sooner maybe they would still have something left.

I don't understand how these old people simultaneously are incapable of doing basically anything on their own and so stubborn and full of pride they won't let you help them.

If you can't tell I've been dealing with this for years. I don't wish it on anyone. If I can help at all please reply and I will be happy to set aside some time to meet with you and discuss or elaborate on anything here.

Real interest rates are still massively negative and will not change much if our total 2022 hikes are 1%. It seems like monetary policy will result in financial crashes (like you allude in that comment) or potentially even more inflation crashing certain assets upwards, or a slight possibility of hyperinflation.

Curious what odds you assign for each outcome?

Not sure about the equipment, but they definitely have billions as much as money are concerned:

The (literal) billions described in the NYT article above are just one aspect of the woke, they have many more. They don't just have the money, they have tons of money.
Amazing work my friend. Not to be rude or intentionally ask about what you said not to, but I haven't heard anything about you selling or releasing or anything. Is there an official statement from you about all of that? It's your work so you can do whatever you want with it, I'm just curious.
Full service gas pumps are extremely rare in the US. I haven't seen one in nearly two decades and I regularly travel all around the northeast.

Since it costs slightly more, there's basically not a market for it outside the places where it's required.
> In high value markets, that means a homeowner could make over $1M without risking, or spending, a dollar. Under normal circumstances, this would be too good to be true, but that’s how crazy the housing market has become. SB9 represents a $6T (!) opportunity in California alone.

This hits on something really important. There's a lot of talk in housing circles about how "greedy homeowners" block new supply to increase the value of their homes, but this is a bit confused. Blocking supply can be good for landlords, in some cases, who command higher rents in constrained markets, but it's not clear why that's good for homeowners; the value of the land underneath their houses increases in value because it's in high demand and, crucially, the land remains desirable even as density increases [0]. Upzoning increases the value of a lot, because it means the lot is more attractive to developers. And lot-splitting gives homeowners a tool for unlocking that added value that doesn't require them to sell their land and move to a cheaper market. For existing homeowners, upzoning is an opportunity, not a cost.

[0] This is why upzoning can reduce the cost of individual units even as it increases the value of the land underneath those units. That's a win-win.

If you were the only party to win in the spirit of the competition, you should be the first person to accept the prize money. Why would you let the unethical companies get even more prize money from a hijacked idea? Also, if you make an ethical stand too early, you lose the ability for the Hackathon to publicly list you as a winner and give you a platform for reform. That publicity will create a situation where other individuals reach out to you proactively and you can tell your perspective as a winner.
> It has always existed. When men collected food and survived they shared. If there is an surplus of something you do not need, what do you do with it? Eventually, I guess, they started bartering. Bartering is a primitive way of trading. That trading is possible accumulating enough, otherwise you would need it all for yourself.

This is Adam Smith's just-so story, but he was wrong - no society has ever been shown to survive on a barter economy. Anthropologists have shown that what existed before trade was the same as what exists today when trade collapses: informally held debt. Alice knows how to work leather, Bob knows how to work wood; Bob needs a pair of shoes; Alice gives Bob a pair of shoes to satisfy his need and both Alice and Bob remember that; later, when Alice's house needs repairs she knows whose shoulder to tap on.

This is "barter" in the sense that Alice's and Bob's services have been transacted through time, but you'd be moving the goalposts since you just defined barter as Alice and Bob sitting down and determining precisely how much wood-labour equates to a fixed quantity of leather-labour at the point of purchase.

FWIW, as a Canadian, I don’t have any health insurance beyond what my government provides and I don’t think or worry about it.

I have a lot of complaints about my government (like most people), but the idea of universal healthcare isn’t one.
> Right but if you only consider those that are covered by health insurance then overall health quality is top notch.

That is debatable. I have the top-tier plan my employes makes available (blue shield platinum). It's $2500/month.

That still doesn't guarantee anything, if the insurance company doesn't feel like paying it because it cuts into their profit margin too much.

Right now I've been prescribed some medicine I need to heal some damage and I can't get it because insurance company says "too expensive, we don't feel like paying for it, sucks to be you".

(Wrapped in many pages of legalese, not those exact words.)

> In the US system you have the luxury of choosing your providers and having your insurance cover things

Well no, not really. If you mean chose between gold and platinum levels offered by employer, ok, but that's the extent of the choice.

I'd like to choose an insurance company that gives me the medicines my doctor prescribes me. But no, I have no such choice available.

False. I have been harshly attacked here on HN for suggesting things like for line in lines - literally been called "stupid".

I'm not the only one who looked at the recommended examples of the use case here and went, huh?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17450890

Recommended new way:

if any(len(longline := line) >= 100 for line in lines):
print("Extremely long line:", longline)

Old way:

for line in lines:
if len(line) >= 100:
print("Extremely long line:", line)
break

I prefer the old way. These were examples in the PEP!

In your example get_it() might be better as a generator or iterable. A lot of code looks great if you push that type of thing down a bit, and sometimes memory is helped as well. Then you iterate over it, for values in get_it. This keeps python very natural. You start to get a lot of weird line noise type code with := vs the old python style which while a bit longer was basically psudo-code.

On that note, does anyone know whether the original IBM TTL monitors supported "hardware emulation" of alternative palettes?

On a compatible Amptron(?) display we had, the brightness and contrast pots had an integrated switch. If you pulled on the brightness adjuster, it switched to a green-black monochrome palette, while the contrast control switched it to the red-green-yellow palette.

As someone who understands basic logic and ethics, you have no idea how infuriating your defending the indefensible makes me!

We're talking about a completely new type of "vaccine" that works in completely new and different ways than ANY previously, AND which has never been used in humans before (after all previous animal trials failed, AND is intended to be given under high urgency (even duress), to a large fraction of the population of the planet.

DAMN STRAIGHT that under those unprecedented high-risk conditions the default assumption MUST BE that correlation IS causation - UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE.

Anything else is gross and callous negligence and lack of consideration for your fellow man, not to mention the active shredding of medical ethics, including the Hippocratic oath and the Nuremberg code.

This is all the more true now that, a year on, data is clearly showing that the danger of the virus itself was grossly exaggerated, and that we are now facing vaccine injuries and deaths that are at least of the same order of magnitude as the virus itself, and may yet prove to be considerably higher.
Epic or Roblox may join that list. While FB/Meta is trying to approach the Metaverse from a social angle, I think the problem space is much better solved as a Video Game. Second Life is well established but I haven’t seen much in the way of innovation in the last decade.

And Oxycontin works, and was correctly approved by the FDA. The problem there wasn't approval, it was how it was used post-approval. That's not an argument that they shouldn't have authorized the drug.
You sure there weren't some that were?
The best proposal I've heard is not to have government-run single-payer but to instead have a public option. That way, if insurance companies truly are colluding and providing a worse product, then the government can compete and bring costs down to a reasonable level by providing baseline competition. Compared to a government potentially mismanaging and ruining care for millions, it seems the safer alternative.

I've never heard a solid argument against the public option and both sides in general seem to agree on it. The fact that it was Lieberman and not a Republican that killed it in 2010 [0] makes me very hopeful that a public option would be highly politically viable now 12 years later.

> I'd be interested in hearing from those who consider this a surprising result. To me it seems entirely expected, but with online echo-chambers being what they are I have no doubt my lack of surprise could just mean I'm in an informational cul-de-sac.

What people think causes wealth inequality: Low tax rates on higher income people.

What actually causes wealth inequality: Corporate mergers, consolidation, lack of antitrust enforcement.

When does Zuckerberg have more wealth? When Facebook has a 900 billion dollar market cap and he pays a 70% tax rate, or when Facebook has a ten billion dollar market cap and he pays a 30% tax rate? (Hint: 30% of 900 billion is a lot more than 70% of ten billion. Also, he doesn't pay the tax until he sells anyway, which he doesn't.)

The problem with all of these studies is that people think the top tax rates were significantly reduced during Reagan, which is around the same time we stopped enforcing antitrust, so they see the effect of the latter and ascribe it to the former.

But we can distinguish them because the first one never actually happened. The nominal tax rates decreased a lot during Reagan, but that's because it coincided with the closure of a ton of tax loopholes that meant that high income people never actually paid those rates. Government revenues as a percent of GDP have basically been flat since the end of WWII and are about the same now as they were under Kennedy and LBJ:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYFRGDA188S

So any study that purports to use this to show what happens when you "lower taxes" faces the trouble that the tax lowering never really happened in practice.
We shouldn't tax work at all. We should tax resources and land because they are part of nature and we should use them as little as possible for efficiency's sake.

A tax on work basically tells us to use people as little as possible, e.g. use more automation than necessary. You end up with a situation where you both have too many robots and too many unemployed people.
So happy I left California and the crushing tax burden.

The expected vaccine sales were high enough to justify spending resources initiating developement on lots of candidate mRNA vaccines in parallel, and spending the money testing more of the potentially viable ones at a time than would otherwise have been the case. When you throw a lot more against the wall, you find something that sticks a lot faster.
> Is the place you grew up intrinsically so much worse than the rest of the world?

For many people, the answer is a pretty definitive yes. I grew up in apartheid South Africa and left mainly to escape two years of compulsory military service helping enforce apartheid rule.

But if you speak to immigrants in any first world country, you'll find lots of similar stories. People having migrated because of severe political or economic issues.

I think the point is not that it's taking money from the rich. I mean, that's a necessary part of it. The point is that that money is forced to recirculate in the system.

The thing people seem to forget is that taxed money doesn't just disappear. It right back into the economy. The target, predominately, is the working class, either directly via Gov't employee wages, or social programs. Or it goes back indirectly, through Gov't contractors. At which point it filters back up the system to the rich.
