Thank you that's fascinating, can I ask how you knew it was dust mites? We've been worried about the humidity being too low so your suggestion to dehumidify is a surprise. The startup looks great but we'd have to identify the cause of the reaction first :)
Seeing as you could use a 1959 IBM 1401 to print out nude pin-ups ( http://www.threedee.com/jcm/aaa/ ) and subsequent examples ( https://asciipr0n.com/ ) - the answer is an unqualified yes.

Iceland is 92% vaccinated double and I think 60% of them triple.
Half the famn population is in isoliation because of infection.
Feel free to check their covid stats in covid.is ( they have an english version ).
Most hospitalized are fully vaccinated ( 2 or 3 )
Most serious cases are unvaccinated, HOWEVER.
Out of 34 hospitalized with c19 6 were patients in cardiology that got infected in the hospital and had to be tranferred to c19.
Authorities have not wanted to comment if any of the serious c19 cases came from people who were already seriously ill, already hospitalized and not vaccinated due to that.
Since the ICU numbers are so small, this significance is easily skewed.
Much less hospitalizations than the models predicted.
Seriously... It must be a lot of fun to be Apple, make a mistake, and see your competition copying it after you discontinued the originals.
Start sending out resumes, sounds like a dysfunctional management structure, probably wont get better and you'll be happier somewhere else.

If a lateral transfer seems possible, tell HR you would like be transferred out of your manager's boss's org structure.

Go above manager's boss's head and file a complaint against them for incompetence and unreasonable expectations: blaming workers for delays caused by poor project management is counterproductive and unacceptable CYA behavior. (Ideally once you already have a better offer in hand)
twitching your fingertips left and right seems like a terribly unnatural repetitive motion to me, I would be concerned.
This is the first advice I agree with.

See how your actual manager describes what you just went through. If they're supportive, write them an email thanking them for their defense of the aspects where you felt attacked by your super-manager. Having it in writing will make sure it's _real_ and you're not being gas-lit.

If you don't get it in writing, or if your manager isn't supportive during a 1 on 1, then it's time to start looking for another job.

> Sure, bank produce billions times more transaction per day, but BTC will either be replaced by more efficient networks or will evolve into such.

But it hasn’t yet and I fail to see how using it makes it more likely to happen.

Bitcoin doesn’t have the ability as it exists to handle the volume that banks do now.

I have some crypto that I bought long ago, but I’m feeling much less enthusiastic about it lately.

I love to see the big banks go away and lose the stranglehold they have, but replacing the players with new players doesn’t do that.
Yeah and not just that, they speak about weighing the available information but they don’t give any more information about the situation.

If I have paid for two trips and have to cancel one of them with no refunds, I assume that I really wanted to go on both.

So when I am choosing which one to cancel, I am also likely choosing that I will later repurchase the trip that I am cancelling now. So at that point I’d be looking at which of the two trips is cheaper to replace. And if I am not allowed by the rules of this thought experiment to do so, then I must assume that the more expensive one of those two will cost more to buy again later also.

Then also as you say, which one is more preferable in the first place and again, if I was willing to pay more for one of them in the first place then presumably that one.

Unless there was something special about the cheap one. For example, maybe it’s a trip somewhere that I cannot go in the future, only now. Or a trip with someone I want to go there with and they can only go at this time. But again, all of that kind of stuff is left unspecified in the question. So if they force us to make a choice on so little information, what are they expecting, and in what sense is the kind of question they are asking anything but a straw man kind of deal?

What even were the possible answers that respondents could give? If “I don’t know”, or “too little information to determine” are an option then I’d pick one of those, but if the only answer we can give is “cancel the cheap one”/“cancel the expensive one”, then I would say cancel the cheap one, but they can’t then just go and say “oh this is a fallacy and you fell for it”.

Shruggs.
Also - you have to remember that in the late 90's / early 2000's, Windows was at peak dominance, nearly 100% of developers at work were stuck with a Windows desktop to develop on. At the same time nearly all servers were linux or maybe solaris. So how are you going to develop on Windows and deploy on Unix? C++ was a nightmare, scripting languages were far from ready ... Java was really transformational in how it gave a complete, totally portable standard library in a mature language framework. All these things are take for granted today.

> If a building cannot survive in the presence of people setting up explosions at its base, it is not the terrorists that are sabotaging anything.

The problem today is that you have to interview to find out what rate they’ll offer. If you’d have to interview to find out what “level” or “title” they’d offer, and that would determine the rate, nothing has really changed.
The problem is that any alternative or additional solution could also be interpreted to be a distraction, so that doesn't convince me much. I don't see it as an exclusive alternative, as in we should do this instead of UBI. My point is about the long term trajectory of innovation.

In the US at least, our roads are a public service. You don't have to pay to be on a road (outside of a few exceptions). I think a good long term vision for scientists is to reduce the cost of our basic needs to the point that all our essential needs could be a public service. I don't see why that's a distraction.
Geez give humans some credit. A grade school child can understand what 99.95% less energy consumption means.
And when you talk about PoS, it's not even a contest.
Scenario 1) You did produce substandard shit code that could have been done in a week. In that case, figure out what you did wrong and learn from it. Most fresh college grads produce shit code, it's just a thing. No one holds it against you because you're young and new. In this case, recognize the advice from someone better and more experienced than you, and just do better next time. Don't take it personally as an attack on your abilities and character. I'm sure you're a nice person. I'm also sure as a new college grad, you have a lot to learn still. This is one of those times where you can use an experience to learn.

Scenario 2) You did a fine job but your manager is unable to appreciate that. In this case, you still have more to learn but not on the programming side (well, probably still more to learn there, but not relevant to this situation). This is a lesson on how to deal with bad managers. They are not better than you, they do not own all of your time, and you have the right to leave at any time. As a dev, you will probably be able to find employment again easily. Use this to your advantage and any time the pressure from this bad manager rises, remind them of that fact and be ready to call their bluffs. Polish your resume, and get out of there in 18 months (bad managers don't get better). Leverage your position to a better job at higher pay.

How to tell between Scenario 1 and 2? That's hard to say without more specifics, but either way I think the takeaway is to try to learn what you can from this and don't take it too hard.
You missed to clarify that tourists use pesos convertibles which are artificially tied 1:1 to USD (1USD, 1 convertible) and that are basically what casas and taxi drivers accept. But you can totally go to local restaurants as a tourist (we did it a few times during our 3 weeks stay). And yeah, it can be sad to see how people lives there, and many try to flee but as you said makes you think about the real, deep impact of consumerism.
Great! Join us in the meeting tomorrow if you can, or in general the gitter channel for some later meeting.
One of the things that every job has is "prereqs". They often include the ability to code, have good (enough) communication skills, etc.

Some of the unstated ones are - wear clothes to work, not whip your dick out, not lick people, not piss on your desk, etc. As a manager you can easily just say "stop standing near people and/or looking at people more than three seconds if they are not interacting with you".

The issue is that I'm paying you $$ so I don't have to train you. For tech skills, this is what college/etc is for. For human behavior, this is what parents/etc are for.

That you don't see this makes one think you may have these same issues. This isn't a "feelings" thing.

Feelings thing: during a political discussion, I say I voted for Trump (and now you're triggered)
This: I am standing closer to you than anyone else and staring at you without you interacting with me. This means you have no cause to be in my space or staring.

Zero need to coach. Have you ever had to be coached on how to not make child porn? Did you demand guide rails and exact spelled-out definitions of constitutes porn when taking pictures of young children? I hope not.

There are lots of things where recognition is far easier than definition. If you lack this skill, you are unfit for the task at hand. This includes many things related to interacting with others, especially regarding children and the opposite sex. Inappropriate hugs/touching, physical proximity, commenting on some attribute, talking to them too much, talking to them at all, standing in such a way as to impede their movement, asking questions, etc.
Addressed in the parent post:

>> Only x number of people have died in the U.S. in the past x years. Rabies is really rare.

> Yes, deaths from rabies are rare in the United States, in the neighborhood of 2-3 per year. This does not mean rabies is rare. The reason that mortality is so rare in the U.S. is due to a very aggressive treatment protocol of all bite cases in the United States: If you are bitten, and you cannot identify the animal that bit you, or the animal were to die shortly after biting you, you will get post exposure treatment. That is the protocol.

> Post exposure is very effective (almost 100%) if done before you become symptomatic. It involves a series of immunoglobulin shots - many of which are at the site of the bite - as well as the vaccine given over the span of a month. (Fun fact - if you're vaccinated for rabies, you may be able to be an immunoglobulin donor!)

> In countries without good treatment protocols rabies is rampant. India alone sees 20,000 deaths from rabies PER YEAR.
Hmm, I hear you on the first point… Perhaps I'm blinkered to roles in tech (to which this post was aimed, but not explicitly enough)?

In my experience at such companies, people certainly aren't walked if they express dissatisfaction in their role – but you're right that this doesn't necessarily transfer onto roles which are less competitive. I will think about how to tighten that piece up: thanks for the feedback.

On the second point, I can only congratulate you if you manage to keep everything so organised and compartmentalised! It's something I've aspired to but always fallen short of.

I think that is glossing over some important details. Sun sued Microsoft repeatedly, and eventually stopped licensing Java to Microsoft. "Upgrading the embedded JVM" was not a user-friendly mandate... think of how annoying "upgrade" or "new version available" notices are today... now consider the same over a 14.4k modem. And finally, most Java applets sucked. Very few were "popular". They looked weird, non-native, had unfamiliar icons and menus, and were often slow.
Nazism is far-right and authoritarian. Socialism is just far-left, but not necessarily authoritarian. Soviet-style socialism was very authoritarian and that's why it got its bad reputation. And you can be authoritarian and not even be on the left-right axis - Saudi Arabia is an example, as is Afghanistan now.

> Looking at graph of Covid cases in the USA for example we were on track to low case levels until July

Gotta compare 2021 to the the curves from 2020 though: It's the same shape with different magnitude. Looks more like that drop in the spring and early summer was because it's seasonal than anything else, which we misattributed to the vaccines.
This stats sheet from the NYPD is wild[1]. They shot and injured least 221 people in 1971, and killed a further 91. That's 1/3 the number of total US police shootings in 2019 by 1 police department when they weren't required to even track that number.

Buffer from what? Kazakhstan doesnt border Nato countries.
I think the environmental impact calculations are way more complicated then this. Paper money can be used for many more transactions then crypto so even if the environmental impact of every minted dollar is greater then that of bitcoin (which I’m not sure it is) then the dollar might still be more environmental by the nature if it being reusable for more transactions.
The picture up top is upside down..

> I thought the whole point of using crypto was that transactions could not be traced.

A commonly believed false narrative. Bitcoin transactions are intrinsically more traceable and verifiably incorruptable than anything that exists in the traditional financial world, which is teaming with fraud and criminal behavior, both explicitly illegal and criminal behavior sanctioned by government insiders.

SCOTUS didn’t begin to apply the bill of rights to anyone besides the federal government until Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad v. City of Chicago in 1897. The entire notion of individual rights (in the modern sense) guaranteed by the constitution was in its nascency in 1878.
Try going gluten free for 2 months. Seriously. Family member had issues like this and tried many docs. No results after lots of testing. Tried going off gluten for other reasons and everything cleared.

To go gluten free, only eat foods that are certified gluten free. Anything with any kind of grain that is not certified likely has cross contamination.
I don't see why not. The UX would not be as good, though.
DONT keep your head down though. That's part of the problem. Get out of your bubble/headspace/etc and talk to other devs. Compare approaches. Reach out to others to see how they're solving problems. Even problems you're not having. Especially those actually, for when the time inevitably comes when you have to deal with those issues.

As a new person you can't possibly know everything. If you dont have someone showing you the ropes then you have to take initiative and talk to others.

Especially in larger orgs, this is invaluable.
I'm of course also not certain of this. But live bookmarks might not be the goal that needs to be reached, the simple RSS icon when a site has a feed would already a big improvement.
I don't necessarily disagree with your comment overall but there are a lot of problems with your list and your methodology.

1: Why isn't france or china on the former or currently socialist list? There are many others.

2: Consider the volatility and violent turmoil, war, genocide, atrocities from those former and present countries from the timeperiod of german unification under bismarck (somewhat arbitrarily chosen date) to the present day.

3: There have been many non-communist and non-socialst nations which where bad and there are still such regimes in existence today.

Eliminating "communism" or "socialism" was not a cure for anything. Many of these countries share different traits which would have a much greater effect on their stability.
In a rational environment if you're leaving "for cause", it shouldn't come as a shock to your employer when you quit, in the same way a bad performance review or firing shouldn't come as a shock to the employee. There should be feedback in both directions, if they're not meeting your career goals or you're not meeting their performance goals.

But as a rule I wouldn't tell my boss I'm actively interviewing until I have an offer in hand. Just like, and for a lot of the same reasons, the company as a rule isn't going to inform under-performing employees that they're actively looking to hire someone to replace them before firing them.
> Ethereum is only weeks/months away from Proof of Stake" since probably early 2019.

No, you haven’t. POS was, at best, a year plus away in 2019. No one credible was suggesting “weeks” back then… the beacon chain wasn’t even close to live yet.

ETH2’s beacon chain launched in Dec 2020 successfully, and has been running over a year in parallel with tens of billions in staked currency protecting it. This launched on time. The plan was originally:

1) beacon chain

2) sharding

3) the merge

The merge is when PoS takes over for PoW. The roadmap was changed in mid 2021 to push #3 before #2. That’s what’s about to happen, and I would even now put it in “months” . It won’t be “weeks” until a merge block # is announced, which will itself be weeks after the announcement of a successful testnet campaign (often multiple).

Nitrate levels in Iowa were sometimes dangerously high when white settlers first arrived in the early 1800s. (I have no doubt before then too, but I don't have information on what the native tribes or fur trappers dealt with). Nitrates are a natural process in soil, that is what makes Iowa so great for corn farming. Yes farmers are adding more, but even without farmers there would be a problem.

Farmers actually care about this - any nitrate that runs off is nitrate that they paid for and didn't use (or nitrate that they have to pay to replace). That doesn't mean they know how to solve the problem
This doesn't make sense if they changed the setting through a tutorial they could change it back through that same process.

Id like to add. C19 severity has a very clear link to obesity, Iceland is one of europes most obese peoples.
If omicron is not filling the iceland c19 ward ( I think we are up to 30 patiens out of thousands of active cases ). then I think this wave will pass as more of a scare than anything else.
It certainly disproves the usefulness of vaccine passports.
But that particular science is of course not followed.

Sigh
Agreed. OP should schedule a meeting with the manager to find out how they're doing, if expectations are being met, etc. It's entirely possible that things are just fine, but the boss has the wrong idea about this particular employee.

I think it's a sign of bad company management, but it's by no means a dealbreaker. i.e., not something to quit over.
Welcome to corporate America, where you are a disposable cog in a machine of managers trying to build their own empires and save their own asses. You either learn to play the game or you get crushed. If this is a name band company where the stock and benefits are worth it, then stick it out and find your way to move to another team. If this is a no-name company, then think really hard about what your future career looks like there and whether it's worth it relative to other opportunities. Are you going to get fired? No probably not - they probably aren't giving you two thoughts and it was as much about a manager posturing or venting as anything. But, that tells you something about the quality of management above you and you have to decide whether it is worth harnessing your career to them.
There’s no argument that people do things and use things that are wasteful, but what does Bitcoin do? What utility does it currently provide?

Thank you that sounds very interesting, we'll try your suggestion
Unless you want to be seriously underpaid into the future and lag in promotions, virtually nobody has a future at their company as a junior developer. You could easily work for 20-40 different companies in your lifetime. Just make sure you are always marketable and what your manager thinks matters a great deal less.

I don't think it's "nostalgia" or "going back to the past". I think it's people in their thirties and older that somehow start to realize the promise of 'social media' was there all the time. This whole RSS thing... it's never pushed to it's potential, I think. Thanks to walled gardens and other kinds of closed jails. Surrounded by a lot of buzz, hype and money to be made.
