Worked at a FAANG in one team for 3.5 years (got promoted and had good reviews), transferred to a new team and got PIP'd by new manager and eventually fired within a year of transferring. One of my workmates clearly told me that my chances of getting out of the PIP were next to zero but by then it was too late.

Best advice I can give someone who gets on a PIP is don't wait or work the process, just make an exit plan and act on it (interview quickly) and own your destiny. Also if you've been a stellar performer and you move to a team where things aren't working out within the first 3 months, transfer quickly (go to HR and claim mental and emotional wellbeing) before your performance reviews get trashed and then it's impossible to transfer.

This time it's another video, and another claimant, against a "song" that was released after the supposedly infringing video. It seems Content ID has a keyboard problem.
Taking everything written at face value, a big problem with the author's thinking is that they ask "Did we have a complete picture of what the vaccines did, or were we standing on top of an iceberg with lots of information still lurking underneath?" but they do not seem to have the same concern about the virus. And that's strange, because there is ample evidence that SARS-CoV-2 infection is producing long-term effects in a lot of people, so we probably don't have a "complete picture of what the virus does".

How do you set up an RSS feed?
It's depressingly and irritatingly common to come across podcasts now which provide links to a dizzying array of podcast aggregation services but not to
o their RSS feed, even though they definitely have one because it's how you feed data to these services in the first place.

I suspect a lot of blogs only have a feed now because it's a default feature of the blog platform they use rather than because they see it as important.
Very true, teachers unions are fighting the return to schools hard. I was referring more to your typical white collar office job, i.e. those employed by the S&P 500.
Very interesting study.

I am an expert in the field of clotting mechanics (US NIH funded research / vascular surgery fellow). Not sure why they chose TEG to monitor coagulation status - it does not reflect well changes from any of the drugs used in the study.

It would be interesting to see the results broken down by gender - females respond much differently to aspirin and have less of a survival benefit than males (don’t get me started, many of the initial trials in the 60’s with aspirin were done with mostly males).

Also, in my own research - we have found that aspirin “softens” clots which allows platelets to squeeze pathological clots to smaller sizes, which allows more recannalization of thrombosed vessels and thus less ischemia - would be interesting to see if that same MOA happens here.
I remember reading about this back in the day. I'm thinking this was sometime in the 90s

On average the S&P increases by 10% annually. Across 250 trading days, it increases by 0.04% daily on average.

My solution to this was getting a miniflux.app subscription and pinning the tab/setting it as my home page. I got directly to this page via an RSS feed.
I don't see any problem with reasoning here.

He said:

1) That the problem is real.

2) That, anecdotally, he met one person that behaved in a way that could only be explained by the problem being real.

This is not a proof, just anecdotal evidence, but quite good one. This kind of behaviour from a person is much more trustworthy to me than people just saying they are being discriminated.
Fedora is where most of the innovations in Linux happen, because it's an upstream of CentOS Stream, which is an upstream of RHEL.

What value would Polish notation add over (largely) infix for the typical mathematician? Why do mathematicians need to be told what notation to use by non-mathematicians when their notations (note the plural) are in wide, and apparently successful, use today?

How would Polish notation help, for instance, with things like describing set membership or logical relations? How is this more readable (using ASCII):

-> a b

Than the current approach:

a -> b

Which provides a convention sense of the relationship that the former does not? The second one can be "read" in order: a implies b. The first cannot.
I'm not convinced that it's actually less convenient than the status quo.

I would imagine there comes a point where an "absurdly" high salary can more than compensate for deficiencies in the US healthcare system. Sacrificing some work-life balance as well.

In the latter case, that point is different for different people, but if you're making FAANG seniorSWE+ level compensation (especially if it's at one of the easier FAANGs), I would think the options to optimize your quality of life is probably higher in the US than in the hypothetical more socialistic European countries you mention.

My current workaround for not having RSS is to follow twitter accounts and subscribe to email updates. Not ideal, but helps me get by.
I didn’t say that the contrary can’t happen - but wildly inaccurate, bad-faith claims that the account made I replied to are not ok either. Linux did come a long long way, and often used hardware will indeed just work out of the box most of the time - I think it is absolutely fair to point that out because it was not this way always — there was a time when the majority of hardware needed some tinkering.

May I ask you what hardware did you install linux on?
No need to insult my sincerity, the HN guidelines are perfectly clear - assume good faith. If you can’t just don’t reply at all, no need to trash the venue.

Back to the topic at hand, you maybe right about what the death certificate says, but I am more concerned with what counts as a covid death in statistics. The CDC is pretty clear about that - any death where covid contributed is a covid death. Getting hit by a truck won’t count, but pneumonia certainly will. It seems that any cause of death that could come from covid is counted as covid death as long as the deceased was infected.

Coronavirus disease deaths are identified using the ICD–10 code U07.1. Deaths are coded to U07.1 when coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 are reported as a cause that contributed to death on the death certificate.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/tech_notes.htm

Likewise I would expect death from vaccine to be, statistically speaking, any death by a vaccine-related cause within two weeks of being vaccinated. Perhaps my expectations are wrong, but they are certainly not unreasonable.

My personal experience was almost the exact opposite (granted, this was in 2020, and things might have changed since then). Both companies asked leetcode-style questions and behavioral questions.

The Amazon interviewers were engaged, excited when talking about their work, and seemed like they were rooting for me to succeed.

Google interviewers were condescending and looked like they were unhappy to be part of the interview process and were just going through the motions because they were forced to. I had a lot of self-doubt after being treated like crap by the Google interview and decided to never do that to myself again.

Given that there is a counter-intuitive trend in the returns

That trend should be viewed in context.

The DJIA over the 5 years of the study went from 20,812 to 36,407, a rise of 75%.

Any pick of Cramer's (or anyone else) would have to rise by more than that rate to beat the market.
Yikes man indeed. Hard to describe how desperate I was back then. If you read the protocol, you'd see where they describe how a subset of vaccine injury and long covid essential present and are treated identically.

My story: got all the long covid symptoms, started eight hours after the AZ vaccine. Tested negative twice on pcr. 3.5 months with little improvement. Optometrist noted blood heme in eye, had a clot removed from forehead vein recently. Both of those noted within a week or three of vaccine date.
At the 3.5 month date I started that protocol, first with ivermectin. Within five hours I felt better than I had in the past three months and then in five days brain fog, sob, headaches, extreme fatigue, heart issues, high blood pressure all resolved. I quit the daily dose of ivm then and started prednisone for remaining lung inflammation. (Describe this like extreme asthma, any deep inhalation would trigger coughing). That worked. I still have a bit of a dry like congestion that lingers (8 months since vax).

Maybe I caught covid same time frame as vax but the two negative tests seem to not support that. The symptoms certainly presented right after the shot. They very clearly resolved a few hours after the ivermectin. It was like a light switch. My wife noticed improvement in my color even.
async things are (generally) cooperatively executed/scheduled/etc. they choose when to give up control and allow other things to run (`await x`). this is in contrast to threads / processes, which are done preemptively - the OS can say "stop doing that, do this", swap out the memory, and your thread basically can't do anything about it. (which is why there are thread priorities)

normal synchronous code never gives up control until it's done. so it'll block the cooperative/async scheduler until it finishes, whether it's maxing out the CPU or just waiting idly for a network request to respond. if there's anything else happening on that scheduler, it has to wait, which can lead to rather terrible behavior.

and last but not least: you generally cannot move async code between threads. async tends to imply you want same-thread concurrency guarantees, to avoid the cost of cross-thread mutexes and whatnot. so while you could in theory just interrupt an async scheduler and move it to a new thread, in practice that's not usually safe, so it isn't done.

you could build a system that allows jumping between threads though - that's essentially what green threaded languages do under the hood (like Go). which gives you a middle-ground of "nice thread-like semantics" but "nice async performance", but neither quite as good as a pure system in sometimes-important edge cases.

---

all that said, yes, you can just dedicate a thread to a single scheduler, run a synchronous func on it, and it has practically no additional cost over using a normal thread. but you have to choose to do that, it won't happen by default.

> Wouldn’t lack of stock price data be an indicator of delisting?

That's one reason. They may not have pricing due to licensing issues at the source, as well. Yahoo Finance is pretty good for a free resource, but it's not as comprehensive as paid sources.

But, even if it's due to delisting, delisting is not inherently a negative thing. It can happen due to mergers/acquisitions or a formerly public company going private, for instance.

There are a few leaps of logic that the author thinks follow naturally but don't; for example:

> I looked at the global picture and thought, well it’s clear that the vaccines aren’t stopping the spread of disease. It looks like getting vaccinated is moving towards becoming more of a personal health decision than a public health necessity

Vaccination reduces hospitalization by 96% [0], which is a public health necessity.

I don't have time to share all the instances I saw of this magical thinking, but they're in there.

It kind of looks like you close the screen around the keyboard such that you carry a single 3 layer book. This would also improve the crease in an interesting way as the fold can be much wider.
Fun times! Thanks for bringing me back
Actually, that's not a half bad idea. If phone interview is passed, on-site time should be paid since the market is too hot. I wasted about 5 hours with Google (I did get an offer after the interview) but it was horrible experience (2019). Maybe if I was paid for that time I could at least justify this incredible time-waste. For example, companies do pay for people to fly-in for onsite interviews, so they do have budget for that.

UPD: I have provided negative feedback to my recruiter and they still reaching out to me. Really doubt companies ever act on any of candidate feedbacks since candidates are not employee (I know my previous company didn't, asking for feedback was just a "wanna look good in your eyes" question).

Ultimately what everyday people will end up using is whatever is cheap and works well enough. Right now NMR isn't cheap, and neither is FT-IR or XRD, but these things change over time. Benchtop NMR is already good enough for distinguishing between significant classes of contaminants that could be in your purported insulin.

I'm typing this on a 50-gigaflops computer, which is faster than the Cray Y-MP Los Alamos had back in the 01990s, and people routinely buy teraflops video cards now, any one of which is faster than ASCI Option Red, if you remember that. I just drank a mass-produced soft drink out of a can made of aluminum, the metal Napoleon III preferred to gold to exhibit his wealth. Last year Chinese companies brought three covid vaccines to market within six months of the disease's discovery and started mass vaccinations, though most observers had predicted a minimum of 18 months. SpaceX is routinely landing reusable rockets on their tails now, and the world's energy infrastructure is rapidly shifting from fossil fuels to solar.

Things change. Today's science fiction is tomorrow's old news.

Not a book recommendation, but Star Trek TNG has had a huge influence on my life and was (and still is) one of my biggest inspirations to get into engineering. It’s also filled with philosophy as well as things like leadership advice, etc.

Maybe one day I’ll get round to compiling a TNG greatest hits, like Measure of a Man, The Inner Light (the entire episodes pretty much), as well as scenes like Data demonstrating “calling in” rather than “calling out” bad behavior (https://youtu.be/vMKtKNZw4Bo), and just general Philosopher King speeches from Picard (https://youtu.be/Jph2qWXJ-Tk)

Not a factory, and Korean instead of Chinese, but I worked for one of the major householdname Korean conglomerates at their US branch. It was well known amongst the Korean and Korean-American employees that their salaries were lowballed versus their non-Korean colleagues, and that they were also expected to work longer hours.

The reason?

"Korean Pride".

You were expected to go above and beyond for sake of the glory and well being of the Republic of Korea and the Korean People, via the proxy of The Company.

Most of us (myself included) internally thought this was total bullshit, and were on the lookout for the first opportunity to jump ship specifically for a non-Korean company. Of course we would never admit that to a manager, especially the expats from Korea.

It was also known that the best teams to work for in terms of work-life balance and just general pleasantness were ones where the manager and teammates were comprised mostly (or entirely) of non-Koreans, or at least heavily Americanized Korean-Americans. Having an older conservative expat Korean manager was the worst possible scenario.

One nice perk was having a big name like The Company on your resume wasn't bad at all for future job prospects.
