I am also a software developer in Australia (NSW). I was 'headhunted' (in the loose sense) for a role and they booked me in for a "pre-employment medical check".

I assumed it would be something like: medical professional is briefed on my typical duties; medical professional assesses my abilities to perform these duties; medical professional then makes a recommendation to the employer. However on arriving and being presented the T&Cs and pre-check questionnaires, it became clear that the exercise was actually one of me declaring any and all medical information I could, with the T&Cs requiring that I consent to all of this information being provided to the employer.

I phoned my contact at the employer and said that this was ridiculous, and that none of the information I was asked to provide was relevant to the role: "it's just company policy for all employees", "we have a solid privacy policy".

They said that they had another health provider who was more 'lax' about what they asked. I contacted the provider and got a hold of their equivalent T&Cs and questionnaire, and it was way worse. Example questions: "Are you happy with your current weight?", "Has your weight changed in the past 5 years?", "In terms of noise, have you ever been exposed to (chainsawing|scuba diving|panel beating)?", "Are you pregnant or do you think you could be?". There were also questions about health conditions of family etc.

Ultimately I told them I wasn't interested in the organisation whilever they required me to unnecessarily disclose personal medical information. That said, I recognise I am very fortunate to be in a financial position to 'die on that hill', but I wish enough of us felt able to stand up to this bullshit so that none of us would have to.
Thanks for the insight about this. It does not make me personally feel better about this situation, but it adds some to the general picture.
As hard and complex as spacecraft are, they seem like tractable engineering problems.

The sheer raw complexity of the human built environment and traffic is very daunting for computing. Calculating orbits and rocket burns seems trivial by comparison.
I am both young and healthy and yet Omicron still made me incredibly sick. If I wasn’t double vaccinated it would’ve been far far worse.
I suppose that’s fair. You could theoretically argue for some “integration” between an off-chain centralized database and on-chain wallet - but unless it were just an untrusted pointer, there would need to be some asset managed from a contract to serve as a “proof” of sorts.

If you’re questioning why people would prefer on-chain vs off-chain games, I wager there’s something appealing about the “decentralized” nature of the system that attracts people to on-chain games - and I put decentralized in quotes because it’s not always certain that’s a promise always delivered on, but it’s where the appeal is derived from.

Regarding your other notes - 1. Same theory applies though. One wallet is often seen as a primary wallet (hot) that manages public facing assets - e.g., registered ENS domain, an NFT, etc. 2. It’s certainly not required that all associations live on chain, but if you want core services and verification of ownership, it’s mostly on/chain or bust.

I've been using Tiptap for my little brand design app (https://baseline.is) and it's been awesome to work with. The guys over at Überdosis are constantly working on it making it even more powerful and you can easily bend it to your will, which is very necessary in my case since I'm using it as a part of a design tool.

I would definitely recommend it to pretty much anyone since you can adapt it to your needs.
Even if you get a very high specific impulse, you still need to pack a lot of reaction mass. You'll also need a lot of supplies (or a biome) because even if you get to 0.1 c, it's still 40 years to get there.
When I went to the gym when I was in my 20s and 30 I could notice the difference after a cold and flu. I'm by no means a body builder but I got to a comfortable point of weights for me.

If I had a cold it would set me back a day or two sometimes not at all but I didn't go to the gym when sick. If I had the flu even with a flu shot it knocked me off my weight routine for months. The effects of having the flu was very noticeable on me it set me back six months. I can't imagine what covid would be like.
You could in theory do that. The downsides are that a turbopump needs comparatively perfect fuel, requires liquid oxygen instead of air, and would be inefficient in non-rocket applications (the ‘waste’ has other uses like cooling/protecting the rocket nozzle in some rockets).

Think of it as an engineering tradeoff where you get to pick 2 things to optimize for: weight, efficiency and size. A turbopump (and preburner) optimizes for weight/size. A ships engine picks efficiency twice, making it massive and heavy.
I guess the assumption is their life span is similar to that on our planet. If the life span measured in thousand of years, it will be a different story.

If you explicitly add 'materialized' to the CTE declaration -- that is:

Providing someone a nasty choice isnt neccesarily blackmail or wrong.

Imagine you work as a prosecutor. Someone submits fairly strong, and actionable evidence, that your wife has commited a crime your office is required to prosecute. You are legally compelled to excuse yourself, and let someone prosecute, preferably someone not independent of you. If you do, you know your wife will go to prison, and in the process of the procecution, your every dirty secret will be exposed, and even if you are entirely righteous, and was entierly unaware, and willing to believe the worst of your wife, your reputation will be in tatters. Its also possible that you know that the other prosecutor wont prosecute, but instead attempt to blackmail you, or your wife, using the evidence.

You now have a nasty choice.

Lets say you chose to hand the evidence over to a righteous collegue. Your reputation will be damaged regardless, but if you resign the damage will be light, and as you are no longer with the prosecutors office, you are not expected to approve requests for eg your personal banking information by default. Making it much easier to hide any missdeeds.
But if you keep working, everyone who wants your job will spread the information, and your opponents in court will bring it up repeatedly. Both with insentive to lie, or exaggerate. Further, prosecutors are often required, or at least expected, to cooperate with legal investigations in ways regular people are not.

Lets say you chose to hand the evidence to a non-righeous collegue. Your reputation is intact, but he will keep requesting favors, it looks better, but there are no guarantees it goes away.

You can also immideately resign, knowing that it will take a year or two for a replacement to get up to speed, and all you need to do is put the specific case on the bottom of the priority pile, pretend you never read it, and techically have commited no crime, while getting years to prepare, stuff to get lost, or just jump countries.

Or you can chose dismiss it for lack of evidence, toss the evidence in the bin, and pretend like it never happened. Its a boring procedural thing anyways, and odds are good it was just someone temporarily pissed off, who wont care. After all, they didnt even know they submitted it to your office, what idiot does that...

Its not blackmail. Its just that resigning is the better option for you.

>>The people getting stalked have a 100% risk. You don't care because for you it's all just statistics.

I don't know why would you say such a thing.

Let me give you another example - the chance of getting stabbed on the streets of London is probably comparably miniscule to being stalked.

And now if we extend that argument - almost 100% of people getting stabbed are men.

Does that mean that as a man I should start wearing a knife-proof vest? Is me refusing to do so "not caring" or that "it's only statistics for me"?

After all, people getting stabbed have a 100% risk of getting stabbed - that's a pointless statement if I have ever seen one.

I just don't understand the aggression of that statement - just because my gender is statistically unlikely to be stalked doesn't mean that somehow I suddenly don't care, or that women shouldn't care - just that in your daily life you should really consider how big of a risk something really is.

>>With statistical arguments, why do we spend so many resources on prevention of anything, e.g. cancer, when it only impacts a small number of people?

That isn't the argument though. We aren't arguing spending or not spending money to prevent a small number of cases(in which case I'd say absolutely this money should be spent). I replied to someone who said AirTags should be completely and entirely banned over a very small number of cases where they were used maliciously.

To use the cancer comparison - it's like someone saying that we should ban bacon worldwide because it's a known factor in certain cancers. I'd also argue against it, because the risk to any one individual from eating bacon is absolutely miniscule.

You can't just close coal plants and petrol industry and replace it it with dreams, even if you reduce word wide consumption you still need to replace existing dirty fuels with cleaner ones.

We were burning coal and wood here in Romania before capitalism so energy is needed for all political systems to improve the population life.

Turbine “torture” for Greek islanders as wind farms proliferate
Doing my part with lighthouse!
Wood is very predictable under fire. In addition it is a good isolator so the high temperature does not spreed that fast. So it is quite straightforward to engineer things to be safe and give enough time for firemen to arrive.

Steel on the other hand not only looses its strength under high temperature, but it also conducts the heat very fast facilitating spread of fire. Accounting for that is non-trivial.
You’re tilting at windmills here. The several people you replied to appear to be in serious denial. Why break that?

> even at the speed of light

If you get really close to the speed of light (which is not really practical from a materials engineering standpoint) your time of transit is significantly shorter.

Once these (extremely hard) engineering problems are solved, a trip to the next star can be a week-long affair from your point of view, but your friends back on Earth won't see you for about a decade.
There is more to how we think than the underlying mechanisms, just as varying programs can be run on the same hardware.

You're probably thinking of Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, who died of his wounds from a duel with Vice-President Aaron Burr. It was 1804.

> Agii Apostoli was a picturesque seaside village ... Now it is ringed by towering wind turbines whose night lights and whirring sounds are tantamount to daily "torture", locals say. ... "Wind turbines have been installed on mountain peaks, in forests, near archaeological sites, on islands, in protected habitats" ... "This is torture, we can no longer sleep for the noise"

It is called, in some regions, a "silver bullet", a solution that may look plausible (or is presented as such), but that upon actual consideration involves difficulties, tradeoffs, and feasibility constraints which may be initially hidden.

The noise pollution involved by wind turbines is not into everyone's awareness.

It may be a minor inconvenience for those who live in some metropolitan areas («Noise is so pervasive here that even sirens are set twice as loud», or «I am looking for good noise protecting earmuffs for my newborn for when I will take her around outside» - signed, different friends of yours truly in the Big-C-City), but the unfortunate thing is that they tend to place wind turbines exactly in the conceptually opposite places - the middle of the wilderness, the "deliverance" places.

The important point is that what most often happens is the middle class and rich agree on policies.... It is surprising...

This was described by Herman and Chomsky as "manufactured consent". No rational consideration of middle class priorities would wage half a dozen ruinous wars in faraway unimportant places in two decades, but for a time many in the middle class were patriotic for such atrocious policy. That time has passed, yet the wars continue, which is what we're actually talking about: the result of disagreement. That middle class preferences are honored when they agree with the preferences of wealth is a triviality. That they are not honored when in disagreement, is the topic under discussion.
Eye Color
I'm not well read on the topic, and I do tend to agree with you, but I can imagine an argument like:

- nuclear threat is a serious cost to productivity and well-being
- the bomb merely brought forward a conclusion that was already looking inevitable

There's an obvious counter that some nation likely would have developed nuclear weapons independently - America was merely the first.

Nonetheless, I think it's not a given that the bomb was a positive.

Used everywhere, more complex and has a more limited operating parameters though. In the maritime industry it has generally been military or high speed ferries using them. Essentially, if your ship can get away with a larger more mechanically simple engine it is more economical because as long as they stay on the surface you are not paying the fuel price of also lifting the engine.

Commercial jets use the same mechanics with their turbofan engines. That is why they are growing huge, we're just encasing the propeller inside the cowling, with some other nice side-effects.

Because they /all/ do it. Every single president. To prosecute looks political but more importantly if the current president prosecutes, they'll be the defendant next time the other side is in and they'll be guilty as sin.

Why do they all do it? Might be a better question to ponder.
Thinking about it some more, this game has a big flaw. One of the players has a simple winning strategy by mirroring (actually 180 degree rotation) the other player's moves. On an n x n board, the 1st player wins if n is odd (by starting in the middle), and the 2nd player wins if n is even. Changing to a rectangular m x n board, with m+n odd, doesn't help. The 1st player still wins by playing on one of the 2 central points followed by mirroring.

While this flaw prevent Avoid Contact from being a good game in its own right, it still seems to make an excellent introduction to Go. Praised be those students that can discover the mirroring strategy by themselves. And then they will appreciate Go all the more as they learn how to defeat the mirroring strategy there...

The next chance I get to teach someone Go, it will be in this order:

Avoid Contact -> Capture Go -> Go

I think people that laugh about others being afraid of radiation exposure are as unscientific as those that try to shield themselves from wifi networks. Nobody believes infrared radiation to be damaging, nobody believes their radio does any damage to them. And yet nobody would expose themselves to microwaves which are just between these frequency bands.

Even visible light can have an effect on you and I don't even mean the effect on your mood. It is prudent to perhaps not subject yourself to any frequency the electromagnetic spectrum has on offer.
Exactly... They created this public privacy problem for every human

Then offered a solution only to it's own customers.

That's some dystopian Apple shit right there.

Without that network it wouldn't work, you can't do this over the public internet without a swarm of physical devices you control on the other side. Companies like Apple remotely controlling devices used to mainly be a personal issue and thus a personal choice, you can just opt out of Apple to avoid it.

There is no opt out of Apple airtags.

Now every Apple user is an Apple snoop, your choice to use Apple affects _everyone_ around you... quite literally.

There are very convincing historical arguments on why the bomb was both unnecessary and also why it didn't in fact play any role in Japan's surrender (it sound unlikely, but conventional bombing raids were annihilating Japanese cities at such a clip that Hiroshima and Nagasaki didn't even register as anything different with the decision-making group; they decided to capitulate when the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and all hopes of avoiding unconditional surrender were dashed). Google brings up plenty of reading material.
> Dining in person is in part (maybe large part) about the experience of being there and being served, even for lower budget fare. This is restauranting 101. If a restaurateur cares about their customers they'll set an appropriate rate limit on call in orders so that they can properly prioritize dine-in customers.

Yes, it's the restaurant responsibility to rate the customers coming in so that they can serve dine-in customers in a reasonable amount of time.

That doesn't entitle the dine-in customers to cut the queue.

> Do you not find it rude that when there's a long line at your favorite coffee shop or whatever, that people that come late order online using their phone then move over to the pickup? Getting served before the folks in front of them in the physical queue?

I do not know where you live but where I am, there are shops that have a separate queue for dine-in and take out. No one would bat an eye if you decide to go take-out instead for faster service
