It makes sense as the secondary immune reaction (ie after a second infection or vaccination) is generally much larger than the first.
After a decade of lifting heavy stuff, at the beginning of COVID I switched from powerlifting to running. I don't feel as powerful and definitely have lost some muscle mass, but I'm down 35 lbs and my resting heart rate sits in the 40's now. Fitness is absolutely what you make of it.

Yeah, it's funny as a joke but not really a sound principle. We have all sorts of people screaming "that's a stupid investment!" for stupid investments. The problem is not that the nay-sayers aren't heard. It's that the buyers are convinced everyone else is a h8er or sheeple, and will buy whatever dumb shit they've been convinced of regardless.
Indeed. Uber is of the "ask forgiveness, not permission" model. Sometimes, SOMETIMES, this is the only way to get things done. Especially when you're building at the speed of the Internet. Trying to lobby for changes in the law in advance would be a fool's errand as legislators work slowly, and usually only reactively.

Don't blame the player, blame the game.
>Basically European towns and small cities

coming from exactly one such European town (or more accurately the rural area around it) this is a 20th century bucolic fantasy.

Well-paying jobs are increasingly non-existent as brick&mortar is being killed by tech, education opportunities are limited, as is cultural life increasingly as the economy goes down the drain. More and more people commute 2+ hours to get to the better universities or better paying work. Doctors are hard to get a hold off, and so forth. Internet access as well as infrastructure in general is in mediocre shape because costs are high for small, spread out towns. The demographic shift as young people leave makes it even worse, elderly isolation is awful.

The first time I actually moved to a big city (abroad to Tokyo of all places) it took me a week to understand that the small town is pretty much over and also ridiculously romanticized.
Heh, I must have looked at that diagram a million times and never noticed that. Thank you!
> If you’ll sign an NDA I can show you TC anticheat and EasyAnticheat.

And immediately land in a list of potential suspects the moment those cheats are broken by somebody else but not me? No, thanks. :( We live in a world where such an intellectual curiosity flags you as a criminal so I am never going to risk it.

If you want to demonstrate good will then maybe posting these files somewhere and making a "Show HN" thread is going to work better in showing the world that you're normal hardworking people?

> We can’t be open because it’s too risky. We can’t be closed because people think we’re scum.

I understand your position and I am not blaming you. But you are not the executive team of the company and you don't know their intentions and strategic plans.

If they don't tell you the client then why would you continue interacting with them?
Spotify is pretty amazing as a company for how they managed to get 70% of their revenue to rights holders[1] I can't imagine this ratio could be easily surpassed by any physical music store chains, or any other tech company.

At the end of the day, people have a limited budget to spend on music. That isn't going to change. If the delivery isn't good enough, that money doesn't get spend by some folks and the delivery mechanism is handled by piracy. 70 percent is a pretty damn impressive ratio, I can see other folks entering into the market and spending that same amount on their AWS bill instead.

Secondly, there are some interesting findings[2] that combating and censoring misinformation doesn't actually do anything. It is interesting to see musicians demanding that Spotify do some action, without the effect of the action being scrutinized to the same level that Spotify is for not doing an action.

Signal installs via the app store, and you all are freaking out that it might reveal your phone number?

Okay, then.
My guess is that the listener numbers for Rogan have gone through the roof because of this and the vast vast majority of paying Spotify customers don't care. I'm don't like Rogan but I have no intention of cancelling my paid subs.

I doubt many real employees are going to leave either. Look at the Netflix protests around Dave Chapelle. Very few actual protesters and I think there was only one person who ended up resigning.

The world would become a much better place if we would all start publicly saying: "I agree with what you are saying but you are over reacting"
You would be surprised by how much the average person in China knows about the US government's accusations regarding China and the Uyghurs. I would venture that most people in China know considerably more about the situation than most Americans. It begins even with just basic knowledge like:

* Where is Xinjiang?

* Can you name any famous Uyghur people?

* Have you been to Xinjiang?

* What is the origin of the conflict in Xinjiang?
STOP asking for my phone number to use your "secure" app.

I'm a senior SDE (L6) @ AMZN (currently IMDb) with seven years tenure -- opinions my own, obvs. I've had some negative experiences with individuals / organizations over that time, but on balance I can honestly say I love working here. It is quite possible to get maneuvered into a bad situation such that you end up having to leave through no real fault of your own, but it's also possible to find a good fit and do exactly what the motto says: "Work hard, have fun, make history".
Thanks for the info anyways :)
I had a college Statistics professor who would get triggered and go off on a (justified) rant every time he saw a 3D pie chart.

I am a big advocate or arranging the pie slices in order (largest to smallest, or smallest to largest).

>Lol I guess this hits the nail right on the head. Weird enough I even kept telling my wife that I was feeling depressed and she dismissed it in an instant asking how it is possible.

I am lucky enough that my wife recognized I was struggling too and acknowledged it. Honestly, I reached out to some caring dads I knew when I first became a dad and all of them said they really struggled as well, and most days they just put one foot in front of the other and just kept walking. If you care about being a good parent/spouse, it's really tough.

>Not sure if I was getting this right, but do you mean that it was getting tight to focus on your job for the first 2 years? Is that mostly because of baby duties?

I don't know what you mean by the word "tight" but what I meant to say that I realized that I simply didn't have a mental state or energy to excel at any job. But by simply taking care of the baby, cooking basic meals when needed, throwing out the trash, paying the bills (I mean this literally, such as writing a check and mailing it), letting my wife sleep an extra hour when the baby woke up at 5:30AM, etc, I was able to be a good parent. So what was the value in doing a half-ass job with my career AND as a parent, as opposed to doing the bare minimum in my job and doing a good job as a parent and spouse.

Even with this realization, there were lots of times where I sat on the couch the first year and just felt like I was drowning and life was over. That happened in the second year as well, but less after the child was 18 months. And by ~2.5, it's a lot better!

Also, in my reply I forgot to say - Get help in the house. Have a maid come every 2 weeks. If somebody can cook for you, do that. If you want to get one of those Hello Fresh style meal services, do that for a while. Do what it takes to reduce the load. There's more to "get help" than seeing a therapist.

It's expensive to get help, but it's more expensive to recover from a mental breakdown
Absolutely absurd for this to be buried.
1. You have clearly never listened to an entire episode of Rogan if you think he's a troll.
2. If the employees are disgusted and not just virtue signaling they should leave. The CEO should encourage them to do so.
I mean, I guess I do? I'm legitimately unsure if I'm in some weird bubble where no one uses WhatsApp or you're in a bubble of unusually high usage. But it's been a small enough part of my life that I'm not even fully sure what the connection is. It uses your contact list as well?
After having met someone who’s making >$1m/mo from Spotify, I suspect that the reason they push podcasts over music is that someone listening to a podcast is typically listening for much longer than someone who’s putting on music.

(Even if you check your own experience and think back to times you start music and just let it play for multiple hours, consider that there are people who start one podcast and keep listening through multiple episodes)
Yeah, it might be a strange statistical artifact. Perhaps someone is buying washing machines for an entire dormitory and isn't satisfied with the first test model. Such people, while rare, might be valuable enough to push new washing machine ads on everyone.
It's all in the moderators. They could delete meme posts or even filter posts and have some guidelines they stick to. Also, the “big” groups are almost all owned by the same cabal of 10-20 “super-moderators” that do it only for name recognition. I got pitched out of like 5 subreddits because I posted 1 comment in an anti-vaxxer sub to rebuke an obviously wrong anti-vaxxer rant. They didn't care, and after I cooled off I didn't care either when I realized those subs were all garbage anyway. I also sent them all strongly worded and curse filled responses to the most prominent “super-moderators” to let them know they are all garbage for blanket bans. One of them tried to get me pitched off Reddit and a Reddit employee that I know said the people over at Reddit couldn't care less about what moderator opinions are, and they don't really have any power outside their subs.
This is why I hate any service that uses a phone number as an ID.

I use a virtual number for Signal and any such services, and it's a different virtual number than the one I give to humans.
We don’t understand nearly enough about Covid, long Covid, or breakthrough cases to draw any conclusion about how much the vaccine mitigates the severity of long-term outcomes in breakthrough cases.

We have enough information to form an educated guess. But your attitude here is exactly why public health authorities have damaged their credibility and that of science itself in the past two years. They have repeatedly misrepresented their educated guesses as scientific fact - and then turned out to be wrong.
Do you not think languages should evolve? Do you think the count() behaviour should never have changed because at some point the documentation said this? How do you propose languages deal with evolution if not graceful deprecation? This isn't Go or Rust that have been around for a few years, this is a 30 year old language that was designed for an entirely different web than what we have today and has had to reinvent itself multiple times. Let me know when Go and Rust deal with half of the problems PHP dealt with.
Hmm I have been using low power mode since day 1 and it still isn't doing as well as the Air. I guess fewer efficiency cores will do that. I've removed all the x86 apps to maximize efficiency, but I'm still just under 14 hours. Have to say that the screen is lovely, though.
I really hope they figure out what's going on :\

Do you happen to know if your resting blood pressure has changed?
I had heart palpitations randomly for over 8 months after Covid. I still find that my extremities tend to go to sleep and start tingling regardless of what I do (even them hanging by my side). It's extremely noticeable when I wake up from sleep. Even sleeping on my back with hands to the sides all night wakes up with them completely asleep and tingling, and other parts of the body seem to go to sleep easier than they did pre-Covid.

Thankfully, even though I likely had an early variant(Dec 2020), mine was not very extreme. I was constantly cold (like 45 minutes hot showers to get warm) and lost taste/smell, but I felt decent enough to run a 5k with it (probably stupidly, but at least it warmed me up), but the after effects have got me worried, especially the tingling in extremities which doesn't show any sign of going away.
I didn't say that.

I said the shining light was insiders helping.

I also said the peer review process is challenging and that was an accurate representation.

Two different things.
How do you reconcile this with the ability to see, when you start to message someone, if they're using signal?

Can't a person who wants to know if you are on signal do so simply by starting a message to you?

Are you suggesting that simply making this less convenient on the client will somehow discourage someone who is determined to figure this out about you?
Not great that there is billions of dollars in fraud or that the government uses a private company to harvest and retain the biometric data of over 40 million Americans. Great that the IRS is no longer part of this biometric data harvesting scheme that represents a massive attack on the privacy and dignity of every taxpayer.
It is even more suspicious why ID.me would even be thought of when login.gov exists.

In my opinion, not really. Amazon management is far from great, that being said it's more that a developer that can "get into" Amazon can go elsewhere and make way more. FB is paying like, double of many of my friends at Amz right now and moving there is pretty easy. Goog is a bit less but still the same magnitude/ballpark.

You can call raising pay a bribe, but isn't that what work is? I mean shit, I wouldn't do my job if I didn't get paid for it. I have way more interesting hobbies than that... In that sense, is everything a bribe? I feel like those words don't really mean anything.

The increase isn't "we're paying all of our devs 350k tomorrow", it's "we can raise your salary up to 350, whereas before it was limited to 160"
If they did bait and switch you, it will come out when you get to salary negotiations with the client. The client might not know how slimy their recruiter is and probably won't honor their promises.
Interesting... If I hadnt heard about the Rogan controversy I wouldn't have known Spotify had a podcasts section. I've never seen a podcast section in Spotify. I wouldn't even know where to go look for it. Maybe it is because I pay for it?
Let me state as a non-US citizen, which also watches some developments in the US with bewilderment, that other parts of the world also see the recent developments in China massively critical. This is no hysteria but a bad awakening after years of hope that the Chinese government shares at least some of our most fundamental values. Yes China is only focusing on itself (or what it has defined as itself), but this is actually the worrying part.
This is just a shade away from the typical "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" argument, and is in my opinion equally invalid.

Let people decide for themselves what in their lives is OK to share with others. You don't need to know the reason why.
"It has almost nothing to do with the locals" so why was there a poster depicting an ordinary athlete throwing a virus at the viewer? Tell me what this accomplishes aside from associating the pandemic (which is widely hated for obvious reasons) with a random chinese person?

Funny how the downvotes keep on coming in but nobody is shameless enough to defend it.
If they do tell you the client, why would you stay? Going direct is cheaper for the hiring company and can net you a better deal.

That’s why they don’t tell you the client up-front, it’s the only leverage they have.
Blame isn't a useful concept and isn't an excuse for being sloppy in carbon accounting.

A person's carbon footprint is the amount of CO2 emitted to support that person's lifestyle. It doesn't matter whether it's the exhaust from delivering the widget or the amortized emissions from pouring the base of the factory, that's the carbon footprint.

Pretending that industrial emissions don't serve the end consumer is much worse than pretending that lifestyle interventions are sufficient. At least riding a bike gets you in shape; ignoring the bike factory and the whole trucking and shipping infrastructure which creates and transports the bike is, well, solving 9% of the problem.
> They're prevented from investing in the good ones, too. You say that the casino will pay your unlikely winnings, but the thing about casinos is that unless you actually have an edge, the more you gamble, the more you lose. The vast majority of games have odds that result in the house making a profit over time.

What do you think is the expected return of investing in a private company? I don't have data to back this up, but I'd bet it's negative — especially if you hold common stock, or whatever non-preferred equity retail investors would get.

And if, on top of that, we relaxed the guard rails preventing people from being scammed? I think the odds would be much worse than you'd find in a casino.
No, no. Trust me, it's just pure incompetence.

I've been at Amazon for like 4-5 years now. Recruiting quality and practices are widely bemoaned. It sucks on both sides of the fence. We'll sit through brutal interviews because recruiting just throws everything at the wall in hopes something will stick. It's demoralizing for everyone involved.

Even the little things drive me insane. I get emails from lazy, zero-effort recruiters asking if I'd like to join Amazon because "they saw my profile on Linkedin and it looked like a great fit!" Like, holy shit, can you not put in even a little bit of effort? You're just shotgunning canned emails all over the place making us all look like spammy dopes?

Sigh...
That's even more reason to not have separate categories from my perspective. Either way you're using the devices for the same tasks, there's no reason to separate them.
So I'm literally unable to criticize any government with legitimate power besides my own, otherwise I'm engaging in colonialism? Am I allowed to have opinions at all, or is this just about expressing them? Does that extend to every country or just the ones you care about?
Throwaway: I make about a million and I’m an IC software engineer. It’s possible. Is it specifically salary or is that TC?
The article describes events set into motion over a decade ago. People calling bullshit on things that happened over the past couple of years have had a much worse time of it.
Did you get vaccinated as well? Apparently the vaccine helps people with long covid.
Agreed. I would add that in a marketplace of ideas, people try to persuade others, rather than pressuring authorities to intervene in the expression of ideas they disagree with.
This is the thing. I'm not claiming to have an "ideal" version of China, or claiming that I have an understanding of what all Chinese people "really want". It's a country with over a billion people, within which I'm sure there is a vast spectrum of opinions.

I would agree you if you argue it would be condescending to claim for any given issue that while the CCP argues X, people in China disagree and want Y. However, I think it's equally as condescending to claim that the opinions, behaviors, and ideologies of the CCP are fully condoned and endorsed by all of the Chinese people (and THEREFORE, criticism of one is criticism of the other). Conflating a government and its people in this way is specious for any country, but especially problematic for those where public criticism of government is unequivocally risky.

> 2) Interviewing is a skill, or really, multiple skills. Reasonable questions, learning how to explore the space around the question, knowing when to lead the candidate and when to shut up and when to drop the question and move on. Spend some time on training the interviewers. Spend some time on internal reflections on good questions, pooling potential questions and giving guidelines on good and not-so-good answers...

I would agree with this so much. I really, really wish companies would spend more money/time on training or preparing interviewers.

I've been pushed into being an interviewer for almost a decade, across 4 or 5 companies. Not a single one of them has provided any kind of training. I was a terrible interviewer when I started, and to be blunt, I still don't think I'm a great interviewer; probably mediocre at best.

Other random thoughts on things I would like as an interviewer:

1) A small upper limit on the number of interviews conducted per week. 3 a week is too much to sustain. I start resenting doing interviews, and it shows in the scores I assign.

2) Recruiting should sent interview invites that block out the whole hour before the interview. I need time to prepare, and to come down off whatever's going on at work that week, be it good or bad.

3) Scores should be multivariate, and should have some kind of "I like them as a person" score. Even if those scores are going to get discarded, it would ease my mind when I get people who are a little under the technical bar, but who I like as people. It really sucks to give someone you liked a bad score.
I'm not describing my own viewpoint here, but the thought train of average centrist to right-wing politician.

They don't care in a positive way about poor, ill or otherwise disadvantaged people unless they can use their plight to gather votes (which is a rare occasion in itself).
I think it's disingenuous to call libertarianism fabricated, especially by people like the Kochs. This implies that those supporting its views are either manipulators or being ignorant of manipulation. It's a range of ideas rooted in enlightenment thinking that goes back hundreds of years, some of which are more extreme than others.

I find this kind of sentiment across many political groups where each seems to think they are the enlightened ones trying to save humanity and others are just in it to manipulate others for personal gain. This is conspiracy theory thinking. We should treat arguments in good faith in that those arguing for them really do think they have merit and are the best for most people, as we work towards discovering where we might have incorrect assumptions or just plain different ideas on what is "best" and what is fair.
This has been discussed literally 1000 times.
