It's not a straw man, I've been noting that risk to nearly all kids, especially young ones, has always been so low that any amount of effort or expense to reduce it would have been questionable (but I was still pro- various measures, including mask mandates, to protect other people in and connected to schools and students, to reduce community rates of infection, while still letting us go back to in-person school—that was always by far the stronger argument for, specifically, school mask mandates) which is just true unless you've got some figures at hand that look very different from any I've seen, and that at some point—which we are likely at least approaching—the broader risk and the amount of mitigation we gain from school mask mandates drops below the level of being worth any attention at all, baring some drastic change in the current trajectory of the pandemic.

tl;dr; when you start having the discussion in good faith I will.

once you actually have a position that can be discussed. show me evidence of your position and I'll stop calling it a bat shit insane conspiracy theory.

right now all you've done is assert complete bullshit. I can link to articles with hospitals stating how many of their staff they've fired due to anti-vax behaviors. I doubt you can find a single instance of a hospital shortage due directly to the few thousand works in the entire country who were fired for their anti-vax beliefs.

even if you did find a hospital in that position, the issue certainly isn't wide spread enough to even merit a footnote when it comes to health policy.

So, in terms of acing interviews, increasingly one of the best answers to the question "Write some code that reverses a string" is that in a world of unicode, "reversing a string" is no longer possible or meaningful.

You'll probably be told "oh, assume US ASCII" or something, but in the meantime, if you can back that up when they dig into it, you'll look really smart.
Natural immunity from which strain and how long ago? Does someone who recovered from the original strain 18 months ago have comparable protection to someone who recovered from Omicron yesterday? Or someone who has been vaccinated? We do not know these answers.

What we do know - based on mountains of data - is that vaccinated people take up hospital beds far, far less often than unvaccinated people.

Yes, this is what I've done but the elements non-deterministically do or do not appear according to selenium, and then the wait times out. This happens for dozens of tests across dozens of pages with no issue with manual use, so something fishy is going on.

I'm not sure that ...

> “discontinue support for protocols that register phone numbers for SMS or voice calls, supply one-time codes, or receive push notifications."

... necessarily means TOTP.

Could be argued "supply" means code-over-the-wire, so all 3 being things with a threat of MITM or interception: SMS, calls, "supply" of codes, or push. Taken that way, all three fail the "something I have" check. So arguably one could take "supply one-time codes" to rule out both what HSBC does, but also what Apple does pushing a one-time code displayed together with a map to a different device (but sometimes the same device).

I'd argue TOTP is more akin to an open soft hardware token, as after initial delivery it works entirely offline, and passes the "something I have" check.

I think several companies are trying to sell exactly that. if you look up VMWare's "TAP" offering it's attempting to provide a wide umbrella of components that move in that direction. Others in the space include Redhat, Replicated, Rancher.

A few individual components that try to bring back the ease of rapid/easy deploys include: Flux, Tilt, Argo, kapp-controller.

They all have slightly different priorities and make different compromises, but anyways just to assure you there's quite a few people trying to build and sell the layer you're describing.
OK, so what you're suggesting is that the thread is full of liars, or is shaped by propaganda. I call BS. First-hand accounts are important.

I call BS. Anyone with proper ID and payroll income can open a bank account. Most big employers (e.g. mine) will even require it -- payroll is made by direct deposit.

There may be minimum balance requirements and/or fees but if you shop around a bit (look especially at local credit unions) they are not onerous and are almost certainly lower than what check-cashing services will charge. They do demand a bit more management and responsibility compared to a wad of cash in one's pocket, but that's the way life is.
While I have not used Playwright (but have a lot of experience with Se), I would say the code style is refreshing:

// Expect an element "to be visible".
await expect(page.locator('text=Learn more').first()).toBeVisible();

Writing await for every action makes the timeout of the action seem more explicitly declared. There seems to be more granular control of timeouts as well https://playwright.dev/docs/test-timeouts

> I don't know if it's Selenium specifically or some problem with the .NET binding

If the execution in .NET is slow then I suppose it could be .NET. But it could be (and often is) the suite design. You must wait for /everything/ before interacting with it because the code execution is quicker than the page.

Large Se/Webdriver suites are often a PIA. I find it's nice to write them with Python or Ruby so they can be debugged interactively with the an interactive shell.

> but I always feel a little weirded out that yellow pages just had everyone name and number, p

That was the white pages, not the yellow pages (which were paid advertisements).

White pages had name and number for every customer, typically you were in there unless you opted to have an unlisted phone (and paid an extra fee for that, most likely).

The thing to think about is this is pre-internet technology for finding how to contact someone. There were reverse listing books too but not generally available (given a number, who owned it).

These pages go back to pure analog telephone systems (no caller ID, no call-back, no voicemail, nothing). Oh, and in some places it was common to share a number between multiple houses (party line).
Lets say that the manager's incontrovertible proof proves to be incorrect and neither party has committed a moral fault. The system the manager has leveraged for enforcement is protected from any sort of rebuke (I assume you can't sue someone for failing to make CoL adjustments in Argentina) so freezing someone's salary essentially just comes down to a form of wage theft.

Bear in mind that in America, I'm not certain about Argentina, wage theft is the most expensive crime (summed across all instances) worse than burglary, stealing office supplies, or even robbing your employer.

I agree that stealing is generally not OK - but maybe lets start by addressing the most prevalent form of stealing - by the powerful against the powerless.

Ending discrimination is great, but that's not happening today. And today, people need to cope with discrimination. Which sometimes means singling out people who are discriminated against, using the same criteria that the discriminators use.

Trans women face discrimination in many of the same ways that cis women do, and in most circumstances it's best to simply treat them as women. There are a somewhat-nebulous set of cases that should be restricted to cis women, but much of the time those cases are more about anti-trans-discrimination than actually protecting cis women in particular.

Any case of discrimination for the benefit of marginalized groups is going to invite scrutiny, and sometimes legitimate disagreement. It sounds to me like this case is reasonable to exclude men, but not to exclude trans women. The fact that they don't menstruate, for example, doesn't mark them as non-women: lots of women don't menstruate (young, old, ill, athletes, anorexics, etc.) It's true that many lacked girlhoods, but increasingly many have transitioned at a young age.

That's my cursory opinion. It could change if I were exposed to more details.

But I don't consider it helpful to say "to end discrimination we should stop letting people self-segregate". That attitude fosters abuse by people who discriminate, and forbids people from protecting themselves against it. Maybe in the future it will be helpful, but today it harms a lot of people.
There's some sci-fi (that I cannot remember off the top of my head) that actually uses this as a plot point.

I may be misremembering, but the idea is there's a special race of humans who have continued to evolve living in low gravity (space) environment, and the terrestrial human (those living on planets) governments would hire them as space mercenaries because they're at a huge advantage when it comes to 3d combat compared to training some terrestrial guy.

It doesn't work at all. Even in marinas (stationary) it has issues - out at sea or even at anchor you can forget about it. There are also problems with them not liking you moving around. Related article: https://seabits.com/using-starlink-aboard-and-in-a-marina/

There may be a mobile base unit at some point in the future, but it will be comparable to the current Fleetbroadband units and therefore too power hungry and too big for your average cruising sailboat. Essentially you need a motorized dish which tracks and counteracts boat movements the entire time it's active. That's what is inside those Inmarsat domes you can sometimes see on big racing boats with satellite uplinks like the Volvo Ocean Race.

To be fair, most people don't understand the storage problem. They think we have to store it for hundreds of thousands of years (ironically we don't think about this with plastics, heavy metals, or other products that don't decay). But it's storing for hundreds of thousands of years and assuming that the future civilizations don't know our language, we lost maps of these sites, and there's no reason to dig them up. This is left over cold war era thinking where WW3 brings us back to the stone age. But in reality it's fine to sit on the material, in place, and hope we figure out better things in the next few hundred years that we can safely do that. I've heard a complaint that this is passing the buck, like we did with climate, but I think that's only true if we assume no technological advancements. Or in other words, we stop researching. But also nuclear waste is a slowly building problem with a positive feedback loop so I think the comparison is bad anyways. In a few hundred years we'll probably pretty easily be able to extract the 95% of the energy that's left in our waste material and put it to good use. After all, France can already do a bit. It's just not cost effective for most because it's cheaper to mine than recycle.
Yes. Nuclear Is a threat to socialists/environmentalists because it would deprive them of an excellent source of political capital. Namely, the justifications required to artificially increase the price of energy, to pass regulation which controls the manufacture of goods, and to regulate lifestyles and culture.

All sectors of the economy depend on the energy sector. Control the energy sector means control of the entire economy.

I’m not saying that climate change isn’t a real threat, nor that scientists are wrong in their predictions, nor that we don’t have to make a change in how we produce energy. However, what makes environmentalism useful to the political class has nothing to do with the hard science behind energy, civilization, and the health of our planet. What the political class sees in this movement is the perfect set of excuses to increase the size of the central government.
But that's the trick; I can temporarily remove all contact with people and animals, while there's an active deadly virus killing astronomically large numbers of people in my country.

Will I need to be like this forever? No. Can I be like this for another year or so? Yes. It's highly unpleasant, but I (and some others like me) can actually isolate to the degree you jokingly suggest.

And why wouldn't I? Because of some primitive need for physical social interaction? Because of my weak will, my inability to place the needs of others before the totally optional needs of my own?

It just seems like anyone who can isolate and doesn't should have a hard time looking themselves in the mirror. It's obviously a different story for those who can't (most people, really).
They are in the research state, no production facilities as far as I know. I hope the tech is ready soon so at least some waste can be disposed that way.
Not really Fukushima, more likely Chernobyl and the disastrous handling of governments trying to hide things instead of taking action, explaining complexities and planning further education. That let a wide open hole for every naysayer for spraying and preaching political and scientific non-sense.

There's plenty of well off people that steal because they want more. The fact someone is stealing doesn't lead to the conclusion that they don't have enough income to live off of. And if things in Argentina are really as bad as the business owner claims where you can't fire employees and you can't go to the police, theft is probably seen as an extremely low risk activity. For many people, increasing your income by a significant amount through actions that are highly unlikely to have a negative outcome wouldn't require much consideration.
At this point, the most vulnerable have a sophisticated arsenal of tools to prevent themselves from being seriously affected by the virus. Vaccines, antivirals, masks like N95 that work to protect the wearer, etc. In my opinion it is no longer the duty of the non-vulnerable, especially children, to carry the burden of the pandemic because of the extremely negative consequences of these countermeasures.

Not to mention dangerous. Commercial aviation is exceedingly safe -- safer than riding a train by passenger-incidents/mile. But general aviation is about on par with motorcycle riding. There was a big push in 60s/70s/80s to market general aviation to the public as being the same as driving a car. But the reality is that most people cannot and will not ever be able to safely operate an aircraft without full automation.
