I think it boils down to two questions:

- What is the average level of risk to someone taking reasonable personal precautions?

- What level of state-sponsored violence is justifiable to further reduce that risk?

Governments and societies have been acting out-of-control and it needs to stop.

If people don't want to take personal precautions, they should be at liberty to assume the additional risk.
Just to add:

Sure, but that still involves the parent (of at least one of the kids) being present, at the least. Not everyone has that opportunity, especially when both parents feel they have to work to keep their family afloat.

Incredibly difficult to quantify, but there are heuristics.

Look at what your peers with a similar level of experience are doing.

Look at what you're committing to do during sprint planning or 1:1s with your manager. (Assuming you're in a reasonable organization with a healthy workload.)

Anything above that is deserving of a raise or promotion.

You've caveated the "valid" answers out of existence. But here are some examples of or-ed concepts:

* parent or legal guardian (shows up on legal forms all the time)

* state or province (an English language political construct)

* DNS name or IP address

You could argue that "parent of legal guardian" is a legacy concept since it really just means "legal guardian", but it's literally written on legal forms, so it's a domain concept, except if you believe it shouldn't count because it's an anachronism.

You could argue that we don't need "state or province" since we can just say "region", but "region" doesn't mean "state or province" colloquially, and we have to be careful not to refer to Ontario as a state, so the distinction is important. Ironically, that distinction does not exist in Chinese, but it does in English.

"DNS name or IP address" absolutely are two different concepts, it just happens that URL's were specced to accept both as the "host" segment. So whether or not it counts as an example depends on whether you believe that the act of coining the term is also the act of erasing its status as an "or" relation. Alternatively, if you're implementing a web browser, that distinction absolutely does exist because you need to know not to try to resolve an IP address as a DNS name.
Ten years ago, I predicted 2022. Did I get it right?
They can wait longer before seeking funding. And since the terms for the 375k are based off the first funding round it makes sense to wait until the last second to minimize the percentage that goes to yc.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything except 5)

Faker has (had?) MIT license that basically has no restrictions. $megacorps have all rights to use it any way they want.

Why not change the license then? Why not amend the LICENSE file with "free to use unless you're big tech" clause? Correct me if I'm wrong.

"big tech should be paying for all the work that is being done to help them" -- They do offer their services and usually you don't need to pay for them _directly_, rather with personal data and opensource libs. Whether or not is it fair trade -- each one decides for their own.
Tbh dude, I wouldn't even do this. The deal you described in the OP is a HUGE red flag, especially in this funding environment where it's crazy easy to raise money for almost anything.

I would walk away and start fresh, this is a shit deal for you and if you continue with it, you'll get screwed over more 100%.

You might be interested by neuromorphic hardware. The basic observation is that animal computation and silicon computation operate in very different ways. Animals use lots of neurons that perform comparatively poorly (slow, not deterministic) that are sparsely connected, but have a high degree of parallelism. Compared to say a computer chip, which uses relatively few components that all operate at very high speeds with a high degree of determinism, are very thoroughly connected, and do not operate at nearly the same degree of parallelism. So if we want to explore AI maybe we should try making hardware that is more similar to the goop in our heads.

See if I'm an executive at a company that offers industry-leading pay and perqs, what am I so worried about then? Why would I work so hard to hinder employees' organizing, especially if what you say above is so self-evident? I find it far-fetched for example (and I know you're not saying this and hopefully would not say it) that Google was looking out for the employees' best interests by surveilling/misinforming them and subverting their efforts at forming this misguided undesirable gosh-darn pesky employee union that they for some insane reason mistakenly think they want! Perhaps those employees were grown adults and reached the conclusion through rational means, that they did in fact want a union. But even if they reached the conclusion by flipping a coin or asking their German shepherd, they should have the freedom of choice rather than being undermined through sinister methods. Put it to a vote! The people who don't want a union can vote no!

> studios can - at least in theory - create a system where they could get a cut of monkey millions through the actual use of blockchains, which they would absolutely not be able to achieve without blockchains.

Sorry, I missed something. What exactly can they not build without blockchains? Surely you’re not saying that the thing they can’t do without the blockchain is “use the blockchain”, because that’s vacuous.

(I’m actually not sure how they wound build this hypothetical system you described with a blockchain, though. Is there a mechanism that allows NFT transfers to accumulate “royalties” to the original seller? Or is this a hypothetical feature of a hypothetical custom blockchain that’s controlled 100% by the studio, eliminating even the distributed nature?)

> But here is the thing: things like currency and trade able tokens only have value because people think they do. There is a fine line between “gullible” and “currency” here.

I don’t entirely disagree with this, but

1) Most people investing in this stuff would have zero interest if it were actually a stable currency. They’re interested in speculation. This is in contrast with dollars (or euros or whatever) which people very commonly hoard in banks, even knowing they are actually declining in value.

2) NFTs are not intended to be currency. So even if you believe that Bitcoin or whatever cryptocurrency has long term real currency potential, NFTs are still stupid.
> I wonder if we need a middle-class of open source contributor [...] I wish somebody would do the time-consuming and boring-but-valuable work of polishing these contributions into something merge-worthy...

We need a valuing of non-coding contributions, and a way of welcoming them into projects.

I like building community and dealing with people. I like project management, planning, and thinking about funding opportunities. I even like (but am not good at) writing documentaiton - but only if the author of the code is willing to explain _why_ they wrote the code this way rather than get me to write how it works.

I haven't come across a project that is open to welcoming people who bring these skills. People do these things have got to that place through long-term involvement, or because the role fell to them. Or no one does it.

A decade ago there was a drive to get designers and UX people involved in open source projects [0]. It came to little, to the detriment of the entire open source community. Writing code isn't the only skill important in a project, and if we embrace that the whole experience of using the framework, library or software improves.

The us healthcare system is not capitalistic. If I get my flu shot I have no idea how much it cost my insurance company. CVS, Walgreens, Safeway all the same to me for a flu shot.

If instead we use health insurance like home insurance for unforseen major issues, and had price transparency. Then prices would go down as people would shop around.

Huh. TIL! I knew Scotland doesn't have a coronial system, but I assumed given the relatively recent reforms to treasure in E&W similar rules would have been brought in UK-wide and cases would just go to the local Sheriff.

What is it about six months that seems like it's an appropriate sentence?

I infer that you mean it's better that 1-3 years or something worse.

In this case (the article didn't mention the individual's circumstances) six months will most likely have severe consequences to things like employment/education/child-care. These will have negative effects on the rest of the community in all likelyhood.

As it sounds like no-one was harmed, would a fine, probation, and/or some form of required community service potentially have better overall outcomes?

It seems to me that while Rust has a stdlib, there is also a de facto set of "standard" libraries that the ecosystem consistently turns to. serde and regex are the two that stand out in my mind. I'm not sure that incorporating them into the standard library would bring anything to those crates now, while only bringing additional constraints.

That said, some projects that had a similar status, like once_cell, are being incorporated into the Rust standard library, while others, like regex are now owned by the Rust team, but still managed as a separate crate. I'm not really sure why they have taken different approaches between the two.

I sympathize, but don't really feel like your comment addresses anything I said. Maybe I didn't get my message across very well in my comment, so I'll try to clarify it here:

My point is not that all Americans should suddenly start cycling everywhere at all times. That's unrealistic and undesirable. I get the impression that you're viewing this as some kind of all-or-nothing thing, where as soon as you build a bike path people will be forced to exclusively cycle and not walk, or drive, or use public transport.

My point is simply that building cycling infrastructure that would support people who'd like to cycle some or all of the time is a good thing. Me not wanting to cycle in snow doesn't mean my neighbor doesn't want to cycle in snow, and luckily he and others like him (of which there seem to be plenty) have a bike path to do so safely and easily.

I think it's relatively safe to say if people weren't worried about getting hit by a car, or falling into a pothole, or crashing into a pedestrian, or getting yelled at for being on the road, _more_ of them would choose to use a bike and experience the benefits of cycling.

As a sidenote, I'd also like to point out that you don't have to be super fit to cycle, although cycling can certainly help improve fitness over time. There are bikes built for a more relaxed ride, as well as bikes with electric assist. It is possible to pedal as fast as you want, and go for whatever distances one is comfortable with.
It's perfectly fine to ask the same question to a new audience. There might be different answers. Not everyone saw it the first time.

My answer to op, assuming they're not being facetious:

- We need time to recharge and let our brains work asynchronously on problems.

- We need more coordination and integration points with colleagues. If we're steamrolling ahead, there's little chance to coordinate.

- Quality of work begins to suffer after a certain point and reaches diminishing returns.

- Expending that much effort at once, repeatedly, likely leads to incredible burnout.

- Personally, the will to do Herculean tasks isn't a renewable resource you can tap into week over week. It happens, but it depletes. There have to be breaks.

Sprint Goals.
Much like microservices provide a defined enforcement of system component boundaries, a 4 day work week is a way to force the removal of 'theater' work.

Neither should be required to achieve the end goal, but then there is reality.
> How much

Some jobs are process oriented in which the value contributed is in volume and efficiency.

>> achieve what I'm supposed to achieve

Other jobs are development oriented in which value contributed in defining the process or the end result of the process.

It seems like the former is more amenable to "regular hours" and the latter to great swings in hours spent in effort directly related to a specific purpose.
Echoing a lot of what others said, I would 100% drop this entirely and walk away. The deal you described is a terrible deal even if one of them was giving you a little bit of help.

You're living right now in the best fundraising environment tech has literally ever seen. If you have an actual good idea and can execute, you can raise real money on far better terms from more legit people. The fact those guys even let you take that deal tells me they will screw you over.
It states that "The drawing appears to represent a polyhedron with two triangular faces and three quadrilateral faces."

There is no reason to believe it actually is a quadrilateral. The initial question just gives you a drawing...

It is not a pyramid either, since all the lines would intersect at the apex.

So what you have is a pyramid-like drawing and some wrongful analysis of it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The only other interpretation is that this is just a rough sketch and actually G=H=I and the analysis again is incorrect, since GHI isn't a triangle, it's the same point, the apex, which thus can exist in both planes.
> - What is the average level of risk to someone taking reasonable personal precautions?

Depends on how full hospitals get. We all get into accidents. We fall and hit our heads, we might get a heart attack, a pregnancy might suddenly go bad and a C-section (or worse surgery) is needed.

As COVID19 fills up hospitals around the country, the risk isn't from Omicron itself anymore, as much as it is from an overburdened health care system.

--------

The big example was the Montana train derailment last summer. It was difficult (but possible) to get all of the injured to an appropriate hospital, many being forced to go to hospitals hours away because the nearby hospitals were full of COVID19 patients. But this new wave of Omicron is even worse than the summer of 2021 by any measurement.

> - What level of state-sponsored violence is justifiable to further reduce that risk?

While the health care system of the USA is technically a free market, with a mix of for-profit hospitals (and charity / religious hospitals, and a few state-sponsored ones for groups like veterans)... people expect hospitals / health care systems to be functional.

Since the state is ultimately responsible for the health care of its local population (whether they want to be responsible or not), its important to take actions needed to keep our hospital open.

The state will pull in the national guard, they will call in Navy hospital ships, they will declare emergencies to help. From that perspective, asking everyone else to get vaccinated or booster-vaccinated is just more of the same, its another action to minimize hospitalizations. Forced vaccinations are far more effective than national guard in this situation.

> Governments and societies have been acting out-of-control and it needs to stop.

I know someone who went to work while testing positive for COVID19. The amount of apathy and callousness the "individual" has in this situation knows no bounds.

"Individualism" is now selfishness. Its more important to save a few hours of PTO / leave rather than protect your fellow customers or coworkers from the disease.

People have lost their goddamn minds over this. They ignore the hospitalization stats, they ignore the overflowing morgues. They focus on selfish self-centered action rather than community.
There are additional outpatient therapies that can be medically indicated depending on symptoms, risk factors, and locally approved care protocols. Most physicians will only prescribe those therapies based on a positive PCR test. Some of those therapies include monoclonal antibodies (less effective now with the Omicron variant) or a brief course of fluvoxamine.

But for vaccinated patients with mild symptoms and no major risk factors, staying home and avoiding public testing sites is a reasonable approach.

OK, so suppose I depend on anarchy, which wants shades >=1.0.1, and chaos, which wants shades >=1.0.2. The author of shades releases 1.0.3 because of a bad security hole in all prior versions. My project will still get 1.0.2, so it will still have the security hole. For that matter, it may ALSO break because anarchy is broken by a change made between shades 1.0.1 and 1.0.2... which is why the maintainer of anarchy hasn't updated their dependency.

On the whole, I think I'd prefer a solver that gave me 1.0.3 by default (but maybe would NOT give me 2.0.0 by default, depending on what the version numbers mean in this particular system). But the bottom line is that there is NO solver that can be SURE that what I eventually get will really work.

That's an interesting fact about Rust, and I didn't know it. On the whole, it sounds like it at least needs some serious tooling so you can make sure you're not dragging in a bunch of old versions that both bloat your code and open you to abuse. Can I ask for a warning if I'm getting two different versions linked into the same binary? If something depends on "=1.0", and the maintainer issues 1.1 with a flag that says "I really, really don't think think you should be using 1.0 any more", will that throw an error? And what happens if both versions get pulled in, but the package in question uses an external data file whose format changed between 1.0 and 1.1?
