The only 2 I didn't hit was "Started recently" and "Golden handcuffs"

I'm VERY lucky to be where I am. The work, the people, the company, nearly everything is VERY good. I'm not retiring SOON, but soon enough to think I'm not really interested in starting over again unless I must. Hoping I can retire from here!

I might be able to make more someplace else? I'm not even sure. But it would need to be A LOT more to make it worth to even consider moving.
the mutation rate simply is not as high as you imagine it to be. If it were, then we would (likely) see more wobbling around the wobble pairs in the cleavage site coding region.
Yes, I remember back in the day the girls would always try to come into the computer lab to play video games. My friends and I were always like, "GET OUT! WE HATE WOMEN!" Then they left. The girls wanted to learn how to code so badly, but we wouldn't let them. My friends and I were getting lots of sexual attention from women, but we thought that was boring, and preferred to spend our time alone on computers. The girls were having sex, but they thought it was boring, and wanted to learn to code instead, but my friends and I physically prevented them from entering the computer lab, using our strong muscles. My friends and I all had zero sex drive, and if we had any attention from the opposite sex we would have rejected it and continued to spend all our time on computers.
When I had it, my doctor said that if I was a professional athlete, the standard outcome would be to just consider the current season lost and switch focus to getting well again in time for the next.

I was relatively useless for two weeks and then spent the next four months getting back to my normal energy levels. "Severe" is a question of definitions, I think. I wouldn't consider that kind of illness severe, but it certainly put a dent in things for a while. Properly inconvenient, I'd say. I think this degree is pretty common.
All I'm saying is when people say "this mutation is super rare therefore it MUST have been manmade!", I'm skeptical. Even the most stable DNA sequences have mutations occasionally, because mutations happen for a bunch of totally uncorrelated reasons. It could have been manmade, but it could have also been made by a stray cosmic ray. To say a particular sequence "proves" that the virus is manmade is...sketchy at best.
...just 3% of Hispanics and Latinos would describe their group using the term “Latinx.”

It's a great neologism; mispronounced (identically) in both Spanish and English! I said this word twice before I was strongly encouraged not to do so by those it theoretically describes.
Those used to be much more common in the US. The 2008 housing crisis changed everything, and variable rate mortgages are extraordinarily rare now.
That extra historical context provides some fascinating depth to setting of The Difference Engine (1990).

As I rambled at the time, [1] it seems to me (non-scientist) that publication norms are well behind the times. Researchers shouldn't be in a position to decide how much they graciously deign to disclose for independent review. If the scientific publication process permits researchers to withhold details they fear won't withstand independent review, that means it's failing to do its job.

I keep procrastinating on the regimen which (I assume?) is necessary for me to become competitive in interviews.
"The two theories that underlie this experiment, general relativity and quantum mechanics, don’t work well together."

The Aharonov-Bohm effect alone is perplexing enough and there isn't full unanimity about the theory that underpins it. That we're seeing a similar effect with gravity is truly exiting as I reckon it will attract a great deal more research in this area.

It seems to me that Aharonov-Bohm effect now has a gravitational parallel tells us that we're honing in closer and closer to having a quantum understanding of gravity.

Excellent stuff.

Surprising, that seems very inefficient. As a bank offering a mortgage I have to set an interest rate for entire period? Naturally I’m going to be conservative to ensure profit.. which hurts the consumer. Variable or short term fixed rates seems much more logical.
I've toured Chapultepec Castle a couple times, and once a tour guide portrayed the story of Maximilian refusing his escape like this: that he did not wish to risk getting caught without his beard, as that would be dishonorable (I suppose the modern take is it would be super embarrassing).
I say that he is misleading because of a few points:

- he claims the chain analogy is a lie, even though it gives the exact right intuition about the effects. He also obscures the intuition by asking why the energy doesn't go back and forth if the engine pulls the chain back and forth, which is nonsense.

- he phrases everything in a way that, to me, suggests that the energy is flowing directly from producer to consumer, when in fact energy is flowing on two separate pathways - radially away from the producer, and along the wires. Energy flow doesn't change if the consumer isn't there, though he seems to me to imply that it does.

- he claims that energy flows "outside the wires" and shows diagrams of the Poynting vectors all-around the circuit, but doesn't show that energy flow quickly decreases with distance from the wires, at least for the DC case

- he claims that what's happening inside the wires (the movement of the electrons) is not that important, when in fact it is the very movement of those electrons that generates the magnetic field, and the initial moving electric field

Overall, the video very explicitly tells you that the movement of the electrons and the chain analogy are wrong and mostly irrelevant to how power is actually transmitted in an electric circuit, which is simply wrong and misleading - even though the fields are an important part, they are intrinsically connected to the movement of electrons, and the chain analogy is pretty good at showing that (a compressive wave analogy would be even closer in some ways).

It's also important to note that you are the one talking about transmission line theory - the Veritassium video doesn't, and exclusively talks about Poynting vectors as an explanation, which would make it very hard to come up with a quantitative explanation of the phenomenon.
I started the company, it's not doing great, I still enjoy it more than working somewhere else. More and more doubt though...
It has always annoyed me that the financial services industry attempts to referred to mortgages, loans and other financial instruments as "products". By definition, they are services. The many papers you get when signing a mortgage is about the closest thing you could refer to as a "product".
I think they do this to attempt to create a sense of finality and inflexibility in what they are selling. "It's a product" makes it seem like a fixed thing that cannot be changed, when in fact, it definitely can be.

I can't find a better job. I can easily find a job that pays more money, but I can't find a job that checks all the boxes.

1. Not an immoral business. (My moral standard is extremely high.)
2. Pays more.
3. As much or more PTO as I have now. (I have a lot, relative to the US at least)
4. No more than 40 hours of work a week under any circumstance.
5. Stable business, not some startup that will disappear in two seconds.
6. Needs/wants the skills that I have.

Recruiters contact me off the hook. It's extremely rare that any job posting even passes the morality test.

It is, but there are some easy heuristics before you get to the hard stuff.

One is that telling people how they should feel about things is usually irritating.
Honestly, for most people even at the current time, searching for a good job is time consuming and a bit stressful.
This question, though very worthwhile, doesn't necessarily need to be answered. Vaccines for EBV are under development. If we stop most EBV infections, we can stop most MS.

I wouldn't hint either, but because at best it puts you in an incredibly vulnerable position.

First, it indicates that you're willing to look for a new job, which decreases opportunities at your job. Maybe that means being passed over for larger projects, since they're less certain if you'll be there through the entire project. Maybe that means not receiving ongoing training, because they're uncertain that they'd benefit from it. Repeat this over a longer period of time, and your list of accomplishments comes short, because you've been denied opportunities.

Second, it opens you up to retribution. The USA has at-will employment, meaning that you can be fired at any time, and have no legal recourse for it. It can be for any reason that isn't explicitly prohibited, or can be for no reason at all. Looking for a new job is much less stressful when you already have a job. If you indicate that you might look for a new job without already having an offer, you could end up doing a more stressful job search while on a countdown to bankruptcy.

Third, even if you have an offer letter, it still isn't a position for effective bargaining. The employer could agree to the raise, wait a month until your offer expires, and then fire you.

I hate that it's a game that needs to be played. I hate the deception, and wish that there could be smoother transitions instead. But so long as the power disparity exists between employer and employee, you should never hint that you're looking for a new job until you are announcing your resignation, and you should never accept a counteroffer after having announced it. Maybe that would be different in a system with stronger unions or better protections for workers, but that isn't the system we're in.
In reading over this, I honestly became more worried about the prospect of this company building nuclear reactors than before I read it. This is not a professional response that breeds confidence. It is... petulant.
Using the number of BLAST hits as the basis of an argument is about as reliable as using the number of results when searching for a string on GitHub. Without further analysis of the specific sequence and its biological context it can be highly misleading. See a previous Twitter thread on some other purported HIV inserts: https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1223666856923291648

There also seems to be some circular reasoning the argument. Apparently we can ignore RaTG13 because it’s obviously synthetic, which makes SARS-CoV-2 look even more synthetic. It would be interesting to compare to the BANAL family of SARS-CoV-2-related viruses that are even more closely related to SARS-CoV-2 than RaTG13 [1].

I’m not sure why only viral genomes were searched for the furin cleavage site sequence. Viruses famously exchange genetic material with their host organisms. The “smoking gun” sequence also appears Mycobacterium smegmatis, for example [2].

You can test for pretty much anything in a research setting.

In a clinical setting, doctors will rely a lot on heuristics and practical considerations, and there may not be any clinical testing available.

But if we simply take away consequence now no one has any reason not to steal, and then more people will steal. It may not deter all people but fewer people will be willing to gamble if the odds of facing consequences go up.

The alternative is to view it as inevitable and therefore don't do anything, but then those not doing it fall behind those doing it and suddenly those who weren't stealing before now feel like losers for not doing it because no one was facing any consequences and because they held back they are now worse off.
If you research "CBD affects on mental health" you'll probably come to the same conclusion. CBD attaches to the same CB-1 receptors as THC and can mitigate the anxiety inducing affects of high THC dosages.
It depends on the missile, some designs also have metal rings that are designed to expand and damage or sever the aft fuselage. The sidewinder is an interesting example, as some different versions have used different warheads.
Wow, first time I ever got a maximum -4 downvote (maybe many more). Maybe it was because of rude remarks about toilet-paper. Well, hands up - it was phrased provocatively. Sorry.
The evidence, and more crucially, its meaning and significance are not "verifiable" by 99.999% of the population. That's why things like credentials, resumes, publication history, and peer review exist. That's why we care if someone has promulgated 50 hoaxes in the past, for instance.

So yeah. Credentials do matter, and it matters that this person is not willing to say this out loud, in public, without using a pseudonym.
I chose "Retiring soon anyway", but it's more complex than that. I've been here more than 30 years where I work, and I can retire with full benefits soon. But I have no reason to because I like what I'm doing and my retirement will only be better the longer I wait.
You could add the code as a PDF attachment, so it's available directly with the paper, but somewhat "hidden". That also answers the question about where to host it.

Inertia. Compensation is good, as well as work-no-work-balance. Problems to solve are also nice most of the time. But mostly inertia.
Most definitely. It feels selfish in some ways to make my family change their lifestyle just because I'm whining that I hate my job. On the other hand my wife tells me this exact thing all the time.

You call it an issue, I call it a boon.

I do not want nuclear power approved quickly, or easily. I want it to be burdensome, difficult, and with a massive requirement for proving out safety in even the most unlikely of scenarios.

This area does not need Silicon Valley style disruption at the cost of endangering lives and destroying the earth.
increases mobility for home owners whilst everyone else is locked out of a rising market. I'm not convinced this is a good trade off.
Not necessarily. You're at a disadvantage because you've suddenly lost the total leverage you once (thought you) had. It's still possible for the org to redeem itself. The issue is, no org takes the opportunity.

Part of the issue is that businesses have become so greedy people no longer even want to waste their time negotiating with them. Once I have an offer in hand, I can ask you for some things like a raise, reduced hours, etc. The general response will always be no. At that point I can tell you I have a competing offer in hand and you can then, when you realize you lost leverage too late, attempt to recover the situation. The issue at this point is that you've lost all my trust and I can see indirect retaliation as a reasonable followup should I choose to stay and relinquish my leverage. So it's almost always in my best interest to leave at that point and yes, you "lost."

Alternatively I could have leverage, or maybe I don't, but perhaps when I ask for a promotion or raise you don't immediately discard the discussion or tossed some canned "budgets are tight" argument when margins are visibly fat. You listen and evaluate (and not slowly) and make a decision not based on being cheap but based on actual value. Suddenly, I have a familiar devil I already know and a better setup than I did before. Suddenly you became competitive. No only did you take me seriously and perform an objective evaluation, you followed through with it. You just earned loyalty points which are hard to come by. I expect in the future if I come with another reasonable request, you'll evaluate and attempt to meet it fairly. I suddenly like you.

Now, if I have an offer in hand and I already know you cannot match it because I understand the financials very well and... you really can't afford it, then yes unfortunately you probably did lose. You may be able to compete by making other sacrifices that are less financial in nature but if the offer is significantly higher, unfortunately there's little way I'll stay. Early in my career from my first position I tripled my salary in my first move. My first employer was genuinely great but I knew they couldn't ever reasonably meet that offer so I didn't really even try to negotiate, I just gave them more notice than normal.
Each of the words there happens to be significant.

- plant: plants that had reactors first approved earlier have since had reactors approved that will commence operation soon (Vogtle is the classic)

- commenced operation: designs exist that have been approved but haven't commenced operation

One could argue that the NRC only approves commercially unviable designs or something like that, I suppose. Or that we have just as many plants as we need and we just need more reactors. Or that the general stance of the public has shifted away from nuke.
A truck hit a pole near our house and we lost power overnight. It was running 2 burners with water on our gas stove all night long that kept our house from freezing, as it was 15 degrees F outside and 49 degrees inside. (Old house, no real insulation)

I was glad to have it as a backup plan.
Is there an estimate anywhere of the total health burden of EBV, making reasonable assumptions about causality for the diseases you describe? Would be very interesting to know so you could compare it to the risk of a future EBV vaccine.
I think there are pros and cons to population movement, its not all negative. There is now more supply and demand which creates a more robust market full of choices. Obviously a big negative is the massive price increases that either completely price groups out or burden other groups in large debt, but I'll leave my points at that.
This is plainly a rare enough reason so it would fit under Other, same as the comment about long COVID.
I have to agree here to comments saying wearing too many hats at the same time.

> Do people just pay the principal and interest for 30 years?

If interest rates go down, you refinance. If interest rates go up, you hold onto that cheap debt as long as you can. It’s a pretty unique product in that one party (the consumer) gets complete flexibility whereas the other (the bank) doesn’t
wait how do u know it was apple that removed app but not Zach himself?
That is an interesting take. But censorship is just one dimension. Propaganda is the other dimension. And if you substitute propaganda for advertising, and acknowledge that advertising can impact preferences, then surely propaganda can impact preferences as well.

> The rights of the copyright holder generally don't actually extend to blocking your access.

The issue here is that the DMCA makes bypassing copy protection illegal regardless of whether or not the actual use of the media infringes on copyright, and exceptions are only added every 3 years[1] and are generally very specific in scope.

From my understanding it's less of a gray area and more of a dithered black and white area that can look gray from afar.

I’m an airline pilot that operates heavily in the Northeast US (lots of fog). It’s much less than 1% of landing where minimums below a standard ILS are necessary. I would guess I have to use a CAT II/III ILS approach maybe once a year.

These 5G NOTAMS are at most major airports now though, and they affect more than just auto land. From what I’ve seen, any approach that uses a radio altimeter is restricted at the moment. I wonder how long the FAA plans on keeping this up.
I wonder how much of this correlates with the drop in religious participation. Religion, for better or worse, was a useful tool for stigmatizing bad behavior and incentivizing good behavior

Mostly because nobody at product companies wants to interview people from a consulting background. I do a lot of consulting in the product dev space, I just haven’t worked at a product company since much earlier in my career. I make plenty of money and my job prospects are fine within the consulting industry, but I would kind of like to get out of the rat race and into something more stable. But every role I apply for in product / engineering management only gets hits at places I don’t want to work (e.g. Amazon, Facebook).
Thank you so much! Glad it brought you some enjoyment!
Hah! These were my exact same steps as well. I was wondering which of my nonsense finally pushed them over the edge and IP banned me.
Thanks for the good suggestions. I'll try them out if I ever find a reason to try again!
I ran these specs or a very close approximation as a daily driver for many years on a couple Gateway Atom netbooks. I consistently ran Debian unstable (Sid) with minimal window managers and desktop environments from 2011-2015 or so with mostly i686-PAE kernels.

I was confused by the constant use of "we" in the writing here and at first assumed this person was sharing the netbook with multiple other people. By the end I came to realize it was something more like a split personality usage? I found it odd.
People sometimes take out a home equity loan, which is kind of like going in reverse with mortgage payments -- you are going more in debt, using the equity in you built up with previous mortgage payments. If the value of your home increases you have access to a bigger line of credit.

A common use for such a loan is to pay for renovations, which can further increase the value of a property. Another typical use is "home grown leverage" i.e. using a home equity loan to pay for some investment, which is commonly done with rental properties (often to make the down payment on another mortgage; the hope being that you can collect enough in rent to have money left over after making monthly loan payments). For a truly US-only use-case, people sometimes wind up having to use a home equity loan to cover medical bills after a major emergency or accident, though I think this was more common before the Affordable Care Act and will probably become even less common with surprise billing being mostly eliminated.
> How's the price of house even mattered all their life?

Assuming the standard US fixed 30 year mortgage, it mattered quite a bit. Their final payment was on relative terms, much less than their first payment. This effect over time made your grand parents wealthier by having one of the most expensive parts of living (housing) somewhat sheltered from inflation (taxes and upkeep not withstanding).

I live in a popular location, and the house next door just rented for 2.5x what I pay on my 10 year old mortgage. I like where I live and don't plan on selling, but the price I locked in years ago has absolutely mattered to my life.
