I get that employees have the right to organize, but this guy was recently out of prison, living in a shelter, and his last job was a transitional job cleaning up trash by the freeway. You have to understand that when you organize, you're painting a target on your back. The guy just finished a prison sentence for robbery. Shut up and keep your head down. Let the middle class kids without police records do the organizing. Not saying this is OK or right, but it's the reality of the situation.

By the way I was hoping this article would be either a device for milling ants into something useful (food? Varnish?) or a whimsical name for something that stamped out a huge number of small objects.

The actual definition turns out to be even more interesting.
We're talking about a system here. The housing market.

In your example, it's like saying crime is systemically high, and thinking blaming the criminals will solve it. You can and should prosecute individual criminals, but it does nothing to solve the underlying reasons that crime is high.

High crime is likely due to structural factors that the government has control over, and you'll never solve high crime by jailing everybody. Jailing nobody would be a structural factor encouraging high crime, however. But one which the government can be held accountable for.

It's naive to expect to solve societal problems through "shoulds" and not through rules and legislation.
I can't edit my post anymore, but your power supply is just sending out 5.1v. It won't damage anything, you'll be fine. It would have been an issue if it sent out more than 5v, but that's not the case, so no correctly made device will be damaged.
Why do you say the Boox Note app is unusable? It works well in my experience, it can sync automatically to Dropbox and I can sync notebooks between my two Boox devices. The only thing that sucks is the text recognition IMO. But it's got templates, layers, different stroke types down.

Having tried the Onenote mode it's a bit of a hack and doesn't feel great to use.
> Personally, I'm tired of people bitching about C ... There was no other choice in the 1970's.

This in fact prove the opposite. People not complain hard enough about how much terrible C/C++ are.

1970: That is more than 50 years of BEING WRONG.
This would be more justifiable if C had support for vector instructions, which are crucial for high-performance code on modern CPUs.
I also attempted a move to Win11 for CUDA before reinstalling Win10. I keep WSL because having a resident Ubuntu environment to install and run various scripts and bash commands/programs is really handy and has little overhead.

Wouldn’t be enough to form pheromone trail strong enough to cause other ants to follow.

At best it would just cause ant mills to slowly bleed ants into their surroundings where individuals are at a high risk of predation or simply becoming lost and starving anyway. At worst they follow a random path back into the ant mill.
I've been using an Onyx Boox Poke 2 Color for about a year now, mostly to upload epubs and highlight in 4 colors using Google Play Books, which then sends all the highlights to a Google Doc per book. I'd say that device is "color" like the Gameboy Color was "color." It certainly isn't vivid, but the colors are distinguishable.

I wish I knew how to take that output (a really annoying table format) and process it into an outline, though. That would be a real game-changer for me!
Can the hiring hospital hire contractors through a contract agency? And if that contract agency happens to employ these nurses, would that violate this ruling?
They did allow you to load your own books previously. This removes the requirement of signing in with a kobo account during device setup, which effectively removes the kobo store from the device.
You check today. What if tomorrow something changes? What if your network application starts dropping packets because it can't process them fast enough because an apparently unrelated change suddenly messed with a two year old optimization?
> I had no idea they didn't even allow you to load on your own books previously.

That does seem strange, yeah. I had a kobo ereader around 5-6 years ago, and i distinctly remember uploading my books to it using Calibre (desktop ebook management software) without any jailbreaking, it just worked as you would expect it to.

I assume maybe they added a way to do it now without using Calibre, but that seems barely useful, as anyone managing local digital copies of books was using Calibre already anyway, and it worked with no jailbreaking.
>One has to be careful how much of these are consumed.

You have to be careful about how much are consumed raw [0]. But most people are going to cook beans and grains as they aren't very good uncooked.

[0]: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7600777/ In their whole and cooked form, there is currently no strong evidence from human trials to support the claim that lectin-rich foods consistently cause inflammation, intestinal permeability, or nutrient absorption issues in the general population.
> Thanks for the suggestion, but as weird as this sounds, we also don't have central servers to use at the data centers for this.

Same here, hence the suggestion of using P2P software (BitTorrent) for letting clients fetching the data from each other (together with initial entrypoint for the deployment, obviously), and you'll avoid the congestion issue as clients will fetch the data from whatever node is nearest, and configured properly will only fetch data outside the internal network once, after that it's all local data transfer (within the same data center).
I'll even go a step further and say that if you've made a number of objectively bad major decisions in your life, I think it's worth spending a long while reflecting on your decision making process, rather than just keep taking swings like this guy seems to be doing.
And it doesn't even catch on fire anymore!

There have been a few attempts to answer this.

One approach is to look at which guess, averaging across all answer words, gets the most hits. You'd expect a word that uses several of the most common letters ETAOIN etc. This helps you quickly discover letters that appear in the answer. Using this strategy, a common first guess is SOARE, explained here:

https://bert.org/2021/11/24/the-best-starting-word-in-wordle...

Missed letters provide information as well, though. Instead of optimizing for the most green/yellow hits, you could divide the entire solution space by the 3^5 possible green/yellow/gray patterns generated by the initial guess. Which initial guess divides most evenly, so you can reliably eliminate 99% of the possible answers? That would be ROATE, explained here:

https://medium.com/@tglaiel/the-mathematically-optimal-first...

Note that ROATE and SOARE are very similar to one another. There are 729 T's in the Wordle wordlist and 669 S's, so ROATE seems like the slightly better answer.

(If going by the first strategy, why SOARE and not ROATE if there are more T's? Probably because there are 3x as many words that start with S than R in the list, so it optimizes towards locking in the first letter.)
Maybe I misread your post if your claim was that not every mRNA strand enter the cell. apologies.

That said, this type of mass analysis is deeply flawed.
It ignores the difference between mRNA weight and spike protein weight. I believe this lowers the ratio as the mRNA is more massive than the spike protein encoded.
On the other side, it ignores the number of of times each mRNA strand is transcribed to protein. It also ignores the adjuvant effect of the lipid nanoparticle, which amplifies the immunogenicity of the protein mass.

That said, I think the entire discussion of mass is a gross oversimplification to the question of comparing possible long covid autoimmune conditions between vaccination and natural infection. There is soo much more going on: rates of immune response, differences in intensity, differences in immunogen proteins, ectara.

Overall, I think it is an open question. It seems plausible that vaccination could cause long covid in some cases, especially given that it has been show capable of causing autoimmune multisystem inflammatory syndrome. It is also plausible that it could be used to address long covid, by attenuating the immune response or some other mechanism.
Can you elaborate on this / provide further reading?
> I get that everybody is tired of it, I am too, but it feels like we wasted two years of everybody's life just the take the bullet anyway.

One year, not two.

There was never any hope of containing COVID. It was endemic by the end of 2019. Individual countries had a chance of avoiding it with border controls that no Western country has the political will to implement - but the will to implement an indefinite policy of sakoku no longer exists anywhere. Since COVID was globally endemic before official sources even acknowledged human-to-human transmission, there was never any hope of not taking the bullet eventually - although in theory "eventually" means "until the next Commodore Perry".

A reasonable strategy would be to slow the spread of the virus to study vaccines, treatment protocols, and the possibility of long-term sequelae, and to build medical capacity, and then, at some point, declare good-enough preliminary results and (modulo medical capacity concerns) let it rip. Letting it rip while there are still such vast unknown unknowns is irresponsible and only potentially justifiable in hindsight - Anders Tegnell looks good now, but it could've been a lot worse.

But the propaganda machine can't turn on a dime, so the measures lasted much longer than they had any reason to, at least in the parts of the "Free World" that believe in respecting established authority qua established authority.
They need to invent control group version 2. It worked for Linux.
I think the data shows that real wages have been roughly flat for decades (meaning that nominal wages have followed inflation).

> After adjusting for inflation, however, today’s average hourly wage has just about the same purchasing power it did in 1978, following a long slide in the 1980s and early 1990s and bumpy, inconsistent growth since then.

To be fair, "I've just been in a car accident and require immediate stabilization followed by airlift to a Level I trauma center" is a process most of us don't think about.

There's nothing that says a Level I trauma center needs to exist... except planning (largely by states) to try and ensure it does. And a lot of ensuring availability means balancing profitability against access to the market.

Pushing the metaphor further is surely silly, but I'd compare s/w dev to jazz improv or the ability to deftly adopt the musical expressive style of a new ensemble, and s/w design to musical composition or arranging.

Thanks! I can't find evidence that black pepper in particular is that old. I'm not sure what Eden Project is, but I can't find any references on the page you linked.

[2] claims the genus is as old as the Upper Cretaceous (100M years ago), but I don't see the Piper Nigrum (black pepper) species in Table 1.

Pretty sure the crew of Hindenburg included a whole bunch of waiters, cooks, etc. just like the Concorde had flight attendants on top of its flight crew of 3. Hindenburg was basically a small cruise ship in the air.

The more one looks at the animal kingdom, the more one wonders where the clear demarcators of individuality are. Emergent behaviors like this suggest to me that maybe the ant colony itself is more of an independent organism than any individual ant.

heh, just took a look. I don't, in this case, it's worth it. It's "unminified", but it's certainly not readable or at least not worth reading through for a simple application like this. I understand that this is just the output of the elm compiler along with its standard libraries.

Pulling out just the subcomponents you need is actually easier with a more modular design. But akkartik also opposes modularity, or at least has expressed a less-than-positive disposition towards it:

> I think namespaces and modules are socially counter-productive even when implemented in a technically impeccable manner, because they encourage division of labor.

Namespaces and modules are precisely what you need to be able to select parts of a larger system and ignore other parts. Without them, you're faced with numerous "monoliths", excessively large systems that don't decompose into reusable, isolatable bits. That forces you to import too much, or to recreate just the part that you care about (often a waste of time).
Lot of informational asymmetry, where people simply don’t know what compensation packages look like across tech even for non-tech roles. We’re trying to shed more light on this information with https://levels.fyi

Noticing a lot of career switches where people who started off in one career are now getting into tech by targeting different roles like Sales, Product Management, and Marketing. This is starting to become more commonplace and will be interesting to see how it continues to pan out. Generally it seems tech is still talent side constrained, and companies’ competitive advantage is to find new ways to up-skill and hire new talent from outside of the industry / college grads.
> That is, in let’s say a drug testing experiment, you give some people the drug and they recover. That doesn’t tell you much until you give some other people a placebo drug you know doesn’t work – but which they themselves believe in – and see how many of them recover. That number tells you how many people will recover whether the drug works or not. Unless people on your real drug do significantly better than people on the placebo drug, you haven’t found anything.

I had a drug program in which we blew away the standard placebo rate … unfortunately our placebo arm did too, though not by as much. But it was just enough that we weren’t enough better than our placebo arm.

We changed modality from the current standard (we were an injection rather than a tablet and all the trial participants were super excited.

300K salaries- yes, it's a US-only thing. However a lot of countries dev jobs are better paid than most. E.g in my own little country it's not unheard for seniors to make 5-7 times more than an average person in the country. That's still a huge difference.
It's unfathomable to most people. It's also invisible to most people.

I've thought about it quite a lot throughout my career. I'm an avid programmer, but have not held a programming job per se. In my view it's not a slam dunk that anybody can make it in programming. I work alongside programmers. I see what they do all day. To me, it's easy but boring. I follow HN. I think you either have to figure out a way to make it exciting for yourself, or have a personality that can tolerate sheer boredom without burning out quickly.

I can make programming exciting for myself when it's in the service of something else that I'm interested in (like math and physics), but not as an end unto itself.

I've explained it to my kids, and they can grasp what I'm talking about, but neither of them is motivated by it.

Without a credible prospect of becoming a programmer myself, it becomes basically invisible to me, like living in a poor country that borders on a rich country. Unless you can actually move across the border, there's no reason to fret about the disparity.

It's interesting to look at the same question from a cost perspective: How can you control the cost of programming? On a personal level, I use software, but it's all free. At my job, I'm self sufficient for the programming needed to support my own job, and the programming department is like that rich country across the border.
Worth knowing, but in many cases a person's experience with something amounts to little more than an anecdote.

I experienced a robbery in a restaurant, committed by a black man. Yes it really happened, but I should not generalize very much based on that experience -- or if I do, I need to be able to discern which attributes of the experience are incidental and which are relevant, and to weight one-off experiences differently from deep experience in an area of claimed expertise.

What’s worth noting right now is that, contra most inflation scenarios, current inflation seems to be at least substantially driven by supply chain constraints, not money supply or any of the other traditional villains. A lot of this is COVID related - shutdowns in factories and logistics centers, radically changed demand profiles, etc. have caused supply chain constraints in ways we haven’t seen in a long time, and that seem much more likely to be transitory (on the ~2-3 year timescale) than other inflationary moments.

All that’s to say it’s a weird scenario right now and a lot of the conventional wisdom about inflation (such as it is) is even less useful than normal.
