> You have a tendency to stand too close, and stare too long at people's screens

This behavior describes perfectly a myopic person
Employers generally fuck us every way they can, then go innovate some more. When it comes to negotiating compensation, use every tactic available, including lies, doctoring old payslips, leveraging offers against each other. I truly do not believe it is possible to act unethically when attempting to extract fair pay from employers.
I'm pretty well versed about hearts. My ticker probably has a couple to maybe five years left at the current rate. It kind of makes you read a lot about them
People seem to see this as another sign that the pandemic is either getting worse or almost over. I just see it as another reason not to use Tableau.
Yes, but at only 76% accuracy. If you were to include the time spent on going back and correcting mistakes, I bet he would be down in the 50-100 wpm range, if that.
> It is trivial and at most a minor inconvenience.

You can dismiss my anecdotes if you want, but this is not a small or trivial matter to me and a lot of other people. Having this concern completely dismissed does nothing except harden my resolve to avoid complying with this dystopian medical theater.
the optimal 5 letter starting work is SERAI (as computed by someone's AI)
Since WPM is a rate, and total typos is an accumulated values, it seems that whether this would bring you negative is a function of the test length. Seem like it would make test scores not very portable.

The promise of end to end encryption is that even if the server side put what it sees of your messages on a billboard in Times Square, nothing bad would happen.
If you want to support Firefox development financially, you can subscribe to Mozilla's commercial services: their VPN, and Pocket.
You can go back and delete errors, and also the default corpus is random words which probably average out to close enough to 5 characters. There are other modes which include punctuation and capitalization, as well as longer quotes to type, as well as expert and master modes (which fails you on a wrong word or character, respectively). I've never heard about this site before but it's pretty full featured!
This is an important point that demonstrates two things.

First, that if you really care about what you're buying, you'll make sure what it references points to a content hash and not a URL, and you'll pin it yourself.

And second, that if you have to store the image yourself that you paid for a pointer to, you've wasted your money.

I'm a fan of cryptocurrency, cryptography underlying the internet, even the concept of a one of a kind, non fungible token is interesting and I see how it could be useful. But all this web3 stuff and in particular the hype with which the NFT concept is being marketed to sell useless shit are things I'm not a fan of.
Really interesting article!

On a related note, one oddity I often see online (and, once, in person) are the die-hard groups of westerners who insist that North Korea is actually a paradise on earth and any claim to the contrary is some kind of evil capitalist propaganda. Utterly baffling, when there are so many sources like this article indicating otherwise.
Different variants mean different efficacy for vaccines, particularly regarding infection. The existing vaccines could very well have led to "signs of herd immunity" had the variants not taken hold.
Yes, medical cost in the US is out of control. No, the government should not be the provider. That doesn't fix the problem. It just makes new ones. Our government is extremely limited by the Constitution on what they are supposed to do. Unless "providing medical services" is added as a power of government to the Constitution there will continue to be a large, vocal opposition to government healthcare.
One hundred years ago, an American randomly plucked from a lineup of workers would as easily have been a farmer, as a factory worker, or a service-worker (say, a blacksmith). Today, there is an 80% chance that the random pluck would give you a service worker (likely a truck driver or a cashier, but also maybe a teacher, nurse, and slightly less probably, a lawyer or software developer).

The transition from farming and manufacturing to services explains so much about our world today—from growing inequality, to the soaring cost of education, to deepening political polarization.

I wrote about this today at sunderji.substack.com
I disagree. If not Russia, who do you see as a great power? I would put Russia third on my list, after the US and China. Russia certainly has the political might, intellectual depth, land area, nuclear arsenal, etc that gives them more power over other nations. Their position as a "great power" among all dimensions has certainly not been stable, but that doesn't mean it's not true now.
> A certain amount of centralization is good but too much makes it difficult.

The Medelin drug cartel story. I wonder what monopolistic entities are working effectively yet we don't realize it.
aside: that movie was absolutely terrible and cringey
Omicron isn't significantly more contagious than Delta for the unvaccinated, however. It's just that the vaccinated can spread omicron, so anyone who wasn't vaccinated and managed to dodge infection for this long is now in nightmare-level difficulty when it comes to remaining uninfected.
Who's up for writing about what 2122 will look like?
Yep, RSUs are a gamble. I would say the vast majority of time its to the employee's benefit to get straight cash instead.

> I'm fully for most laws being tested at the state level before the federal gov gets involved at all (unless it's interstate commerce)

How is teleworking across state lines not interstate commerce?
Epinephrine itself, sure. Epipens, though? Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epinephrine_autoinjector , I see "In 2009, Teva Pharmaceuticals filed an ANDA to market a generic EpiPen in collaboration with Antares Pharma Inc, a maker of injection systems; Pfizer and King sued them for infringing US Patent 7,449,012 that was due to expire in 2025", and "In 2010, Pfizer and King sued Novartis' Sandoz generic unit for patent infringement after Sandoz submitted an ANDA to sell a generic EpiPen."

You need a delivery mechanism that can be used quickly and reasonably safely, ideally by someone in the early stages of anaphylaxis. Taking out a vial and a syringe, and carefully extracting the epinephrine from the vial with the syringe, are not things you'd want to be doing under those circumstances. Hence the invention of better approaches.

But epipens were originally "brought to market in 1983". How are there still active patents for it? "Kaplan continued to improve his designs over the years, filing for example US Patent 6,767,336 in 2003." I wonder if the new patents cover the 1983 devices. If so, that seems like an obvious abuse of the system: keep filing a new patent for different aspects of or variations on the device, and you can multiply the duration of your monopoly grant.
We've been under threat of lockdown, under lockdown, or under restrictions for ~2 years now.

It's understandable that some are very concerned after or about getting sick but many of us, for our own sanity and psychological health, need to move on.
Housing doesn't mean what it used to though. 1950s-60s housing stock occupied by 1980s first time home buyer had one shower, no garage or one car garage, window unit a/c and a damp basement.
I'd argue that it's not human nature but rather our socio-economic system that keeps us grinding away. It's become obvious that for the most part automation does a disservice to workers rather than liberating them since they don't have the legal ownership of the automating forces. A typical factory or whatever if it is able to automate 20% of the current work being done will simply lay off 20% of its workforce rather than reduce everyone's workload by 20% while maintaining their wage.

Now this creates a bit of a crisis since the automated production produces things that need to be bought by the workers they displace, who now no longer have any money. The outcome as I see it is an extension of credit systems and the propagation of tedious nonsense jobs (ala Graeber's Bullshit Jobs).

In order to bring about the ideal of automation creating more free time for all without diminishing their income you'd have to transfer ownership of the automating forces to the workers they're replacing. But then I'm just a Marxist looney so what do I know.
i don't think there's anything to gain here that you don't already get with good autocompletion.

i wonder how a trained stenographer on a chorded keyboard would compare to a trained typist with a good english language model backed autocomplete and a ui built for speed on a classic qwerty keyboard.
I don't even care about the crypto currencies that much. Please just stop ruining everything.

Most people are relying on arbitrary testing to figure out how many people are infected. I think this totally under reporting number of infections because the whole population is not tested on a regular basis. To get an accurate picture of people are infected, you have to look at whole populations.

One whole population group to study to get a better understanding of how bad this wave is is to look at the cruise line industry. Everyone has to get tested, and thus you are studying a whole population. According to a recent CDC report [1], between Nov 30 - Dec 14 of 2021, 162 cases were reported on cruise ships. Then the next two weeks 5013 cases were reported. This is roughly a 30x increase!

If you look at the NY Times infections chart[2], in the same time period, their 7 day average only went up like 3x. This is grossly under reporting of infections.

The sewage chart looks at a whole population and it is easy to see the increase in infection is more in the 30x scale than it is the 3x scale.

Be safe out there everybody. If you look at whole population groups, Covid is way more infectious than what a lot of news media outlets and their data would tell you.

1. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/30/us-cdc-says-people-should-av...
2. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-c...

This sewage report is about a whole population and it is clear to see infections many more times higher than what a lot of news agencies are reporting.
Even your crazed schizophrenic wants a home to sleep in. A warm bed during the cold, and a roof to keep out the rain.

Its not like crazed schizophrenics are inhuman or whatever. And a home won't solve their mental problems. But getting them off the streets (by finding cheap enough housing for them to afford) solves a lot of other issues.

They still have stress, both physical and mental. And that stress could be making it harder for them to deal with their mental issues.

Depending on the state of their delusion, it might be possible for them to hold a job as well. Maybe you need some social-workers checking in on them depending on how bad the mental illness is, but even schizophrenics are still able to make meaningful contributions to society in the right environment (ex: John Forbes Nash Jr.).

--------

The goal isn't to solve mental diseases, but to build environments where people inflicted with those mental diseases can still be of net-benefit to society.

We all can agree that a __HOMELESS__ crazed schizophrinic is worse than a crazed schizophrinic, right? Solving the homeless problem is a step in the right direction, even if the delusions are unsolvable.

And again: plenty of schizophrinics are high-functioning enough to check into the doctor, mental care, social workers, etc. etc. They can act independently, hold jobs and benefit society. That's probably one of the worst diseases to have but even then its not a hopeless situation.

"The Great Reset" is the name of a book by Klaus Schwab, who is chairman of the WEF. It was also the name that the WEF gave to their 50th annual meeting, which took place in 2020.

Conspiracy theories aside, I've read Schwab's book, and it's a moronic, badly-written pile of buzzwords and corporate jargon that says nothing of interest and reads like the work of a hungover undergraduate who's padding the wordcount the night before the deadline while hoping the professor won't realise he hasn't done the reading. I'd tell you to ignore it, except Schwab is a man of enormous power and influence, so his apparent inability to produce an intelligent thought is really quite troubling.
Actually, I think that is completely normal. When writing with pen and paper, it's so slow that you can't help but think ahead. You're thinking in parallel because you have time before you write the next clause or sentence. You might scratch out a word or sentence or two, but overall your thoughts will probably be more coherent and well-considered.

Even typing at 150 WPM (actually fast) is about the same speed as dictation. Anyone who's done extensive dictation knows how slow that actually is.
Nevermind, no web3!
The only word I can think of that rhymes with "tennis" is "menace". That's 6 letters. But I think I know what you meant.
IANAL, but I think there was no interpretation until the Supreme Court made that ruling. The Second Amendment was in a quantum state before that, both an individual right and not. When it becomes necessary to clarify something, then SCOTUS collapses the wave function in that particular area of law.
A lot of the commenters on the blog focus on the inept president in the movie, or the other powers that be which ultimately contributed to the tragedy. Those blatantly outrageous characters didn't even register on my radar - they weren't believable, and I think that was the intended effect. The true tragedy in my mind was the way that the general population reacted. That was much more believable. They were all so caught up in their narcissistic lives that they didn't care enough to disengage from their "followers" long enough to candidly engage with reality. They basically got the president that they deserved - a reflection of their own indifference.

There were so many bad actors in the story that it was probably easy to get caught in the weeds. Imo, the message wasn't about climate change (despite that being the stated message by the producers of the film), or vaccines, or even politics at all. It was about the new wave of adults who will someday become our leaders who appear to be incapable of overcoming their own narcissistic habits. The current state of the attention economy truly is a human tragedy, and one that we can all relate with I think.
This is actually technically possible in the networks, at least here in Europe (generally).

It is still more dangerous than the other endemic coronaviruses that cause the common cold. In general the selection pressure on viruses (and other parasites) is to be less disruptive to the lives of their hosts -- not just being less deadly, but also not incapacitating hosts for extended periods of time. How long it takes for a virus to become endemic-without-ill-effects can vary widely, but the hope here is that COVID19 will do so quickly, becoming "just another common cold" within another year or two.
This is anecdata. You found one news story. Maybe you can find a handful of others. But do you have evidence that infiltration by white nationalists was a significant contributing factor to the widespread anarchy and destruction in places like Kenosha or Portland?
On the other hand, it's making me feel pretty good about my thinking speed. ;)
I feel like you shouldn't complain about bitcoin if you drive a car or have been on an airplane in the last year. Or if you have received goods manufactured overseas. Or live / work in a building that uses concrete. Or consume beef. Or consume factory farmed food. Or eat fish. Or...

Just to add some numbers: bitcoin is responsible for 0.1% of global carbon emissions, and will decrease (as a %) as CO2 emissions of other sectors grow: https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/bitcoin-...
Actually, doesn't the US government tax “gains” from Bitcoin “appreciation”?
There is a lot of cryptocurrency out there to be spent, and Mozilla needs it. The pragmatic solution would be to take the money and use X% to offset the environmental damage the donation created.

In the game speedrunning community it's impressive the number of time a glitch or behavior of the game is attributed to "the game is confused".
"with 76% accuracy" - I'm surprised typing competitions even allow scores below some accuracy level, e.g. 95% or so. Missing every fourth letter means it's basically gobbeldygook, and if you were actually typing anything where you even needed to be remotely accurate you'd spend at least 2x as much time revising.
And how did this existing network of iPhone users come to be if it was just about fitting in? This is obviously flawed logic.

Why even talk about other markets unless you can control for all of the other variables? The other markets are completely different, there is no market like the US market just like there is no market like the market seen in China or India...or maybe if you think as you do, you should ask the question why teenagers in the US market are more likely to try to "fit in" than other teenagers in other markets...

Simpson's Paradox applies here: once you slice by age, the data tells a different story. Even when vaccines are highly effective, the confounding factor that gets lost when you aggregate across ages is that the most vulnerable (the elderly) are also the most vaccinated.

I highly recommend anybody concerned about hospitalization among the vaccinated read this post. It's about Delta hospitalizations in Israel 2021, but we should expect the same effect from Omicron and across countries: https://www.covid-datascience.com/post/israeli-data-how-can-...
> worry that this 'admin stuff' can actually leak quite a lot of information.

Hence why they put a limit on the usable chat systems.

The worry also should extend to private conversations between to military members.

But you can't really or them all the time to use military controlled apps, that in practice just doesn't work out. So limiting them to commercial but reasonable secure solutions which are under a local jurisdiction is a reasonable good solution.

A public accessible Swiss military payed Signal fork probably would be an better solution tbh., but Threema isn't bad either. Just not quite as good as Signal.
By creating a shadow currency you are undermining the one we democratically agreed on.

Your opt-in is actively harmful to democratic society.

Out of curiosity, what is a "sub-Kelvin" temperature? As an absolute scale, isn't it impossible to be off the bottom of that scale?
I'm not a Node/NPM person, but I imagine they had in mind the equivalent of whatever is expected from npm. I expect some nodejs command to invoke the service directly

This is really cool. Occasionally I look for land near mountains, with the aim of building a future holiday home there. It'll be really helpful to know what areas are going to still get sun in the middle of winter.
In French, the first floor is called "Rez-de-chaussée" and the uppers are what called "Etage". So it's actually 1 based.
Given that part numbers are quite old, and that they rerelease parts with other numbers, you have far more faith in the ability to trivially understand legacy systems than I do.
