Telling someone who's already at the stage of self harm to just get out and meet some people is not helpful at all. You can't just "get over" a depression, it's an actual sickness.

Now, I see where you're coming from; if you feel that you're a bit less happy without meeting people, suggesting to go out is perfectly reasonable. But from what the OP described, they definitely need professional help (and money is also a really bad reason to ignore severe health problems).
> your subculture’s priest/shaman

My subculture's priests are priests. When my wife very suddenly passed away, I spent a lot of time with a therapist. They're not the same thing.

Have you ever seen a therapist?

What is it that is stupid about this?

It is true. Putin's enemies and opponents are murdered, jailed, pushed out of windows, poisoned, ruined, threatened by Putin-adjacent gangsters more or less constantly on domestic soil, are they not? And yet he enjoys a strong profile among Russian citizens.

So you have to ask -- why would a man who has got away with this domestically, not think he can get away with it internationally, when he has his Farages and Trumps and Gabbards and Salvinis raising his profile everywhere?

Or are you saying that it's hysterical and stupid to call the man what he is? He's a psychopath. It's in absolutely everything he does.

(Psychopaths, FWIW, are not particularly unusual: maybe 3% of the human population is a psychopath)
It's interesting to see how different bond proposals are received by the public. In the more conservative areas I've lived, adding a penny to the sales tax to fund school bonds is pretty much always approved by the voters and renewals are likewise rubberstamped. In liberal areas, that's a much more difficult tax to get passed, mainly on the grounds that it is regressive. School bonds secured with increased property taxes tend to work in the reverse, with property tax increases being popular in liberal areas but opposed in conservative ones.

I think it more a changing demographic of HN, as well as people that dissent from the WFH support seem to be blasted so they just do not speak up anymore.

2 years of "if you do not want isolation you want to kill grandma" will do that to you.

For my part my mind has not changed at all, I have no strong opinion either way, WFH or In Office has no impact on if I will take a job or not.

Salary, benefits, Vacation, etc are all 1000000000000x more important to me, and I will drop a WFH job in a hot second if the in office job pays more or provides me with something else I need / desire

> I'm really a lot more concerned with the irresponsibility of pushing ineffective medical treatments to a serious health hazard than I am with how gently "the media" tells people that their conspiracy theories are wrong.

Perhaps you should be concerned with that which causes more harm. After all, a lack of concern for what is true is the fundamental flaw with conspiracy theorists is it not?
Damn, imagine working at a place where at the end of each day, the management goes through your shell history and includes it in a "performance review".

On the other hand, cancelling once you are billed makes the entire charge reversed. So there is that...The even worse outcome I've experienced (from other businesses) is cancellation would only take effect on your next billing cycle. That does not seem to be the case.

That's a little different than a tenant who is renting wrecking someone else's property though, as the sheriff said in the case of foreclosures it's still their property up until the forced vacate date and they can technically do whatever they want and can't be sued for the damages, whereas tenants can but in most cases it's simply not worth it because the people you're suing usually don't have any assets or positive net worth in the first place.

U.S. investigation of Zelensky's Oligarch, Sept 2020, https://www.icij.org/investigations/fincen-files/with-deutsc...

> Kolomoisky siphoned billions of dollars from PrivatBank, Ukraine’s largest financial institution, which he co-owned, in an audacious laundering scheme, cleaning the money through a web of companies around the world, U.S. federal prosecutors allege ... transferring more than $750 million to Kolomoisky’s business interests in the United States ... secretly amassed a real estate empire, buying at least 22 properties, including a skyscraper in Cleveland with vaulted ceilings that featured one of the largest bank lobbies in the world, a shuttered Motorola facility rising from the farm fields of northern Illinois and the former headquarters of Mary Kay Cosmetics in Dallas

... The flow of Kolomoisky dollars into the U.S. finally ended in December 2016 when Ukraine regulators nationalized PrivatBank on suspicions of widespread fraud. The losses to the institution prompted criminal investigations by the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine. Last February, agents from the U.S. Justice Department jetted to Kyiv to talk with law enforcement agents about the ongoing case in the U.S.

... Though the federal government has set up targeting orders in places like Miami and and New York to screen property purchases for laundering, the orders do not extend all over the country and do not apply to commercial transactions ... The Justice Department finally pushed to seize some of the real estate in August, but much of the damage was done, with buildings devalued, factories shuttered, and steel workers without jobs.

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/mikesallah/ukraine-bill...

> At one time, Kolomoisky and his associates were the largest commercial landlords in Cleveland, owning 2.8 million square feet. One of the properties that has drawn the FBI's attention is the Warren Steel plant in Ohio ... Valeria Gontareva, former chair of the National Bank of Ukraine, the nation's chief regulator, said the level of fraud on the institution was larger than any crime ever perpetrated on a Ukrainian bank.

> Kvartal 95 was bought by 1+1 TV channel owned by Ihor Kolomoiskyi which gave the company good terms of cooperation and higher prices. Kolomoiskyi started to support Zelenskyy and Kvartal as comedians and now keeps backing them as politicians ... The Pandora Papers disclosed that since 2012, an offshore company affiliated to Kolomoiskyi’s 1+1 group at least once paid more than $1 billion to Zelenskyy’s offshore firm SVT from the British Virgin Islands, for the popular TV show “Make a Comedian Laugh” created by Kvartal 95. And Maltext owns half of SVT ... Zelenskyy’s and Kolomoiskyi’s companies made a transaction worth $40 million in 2012. Under the documents, this was “contribution to capital,” or investment, paid by the oligarch to the now-president.

Black Hat Hacker-Gummo has $7B in BTC (interview)
I think the parent comment makes a fair point. No matter how small the issue, the government's rules are ultimately backed by the threat of deadly violence [0].

I think the rhetorical difference between "ask" and "force" is ripe for abuse in discussions regarding contentious government roles.

[0] If this seems implausible, consider this thought experiment (U.S.-based). A police officer gives you a ticket jaywalking. If you don't pay it, you're at risk of being the target of an arrest warrant. If the police find you, they will attempt to put you in cuffs. It goes downhill from there. For jaywalking.

I'm not arguing for or against things working this way, but I do think it's reality.

Random exceptions don't invalidate the point of the parent comment.
I'm mildly concerned in the next 20 years Russia will blow up a few satellites and cause a huge amount of LEO space debris that makes it harder for everyone else to launch, just because they can't compete. I imagine something like offering internet access that gets around their firewall might be a precipitating event. Space is getting more important and with their space program in precipitous decline but still having some capabilities, the winning move for them might be to deny it to everyone. Fits their scorched earth approach to adversaries. I feel it rests on what their post-Putin leadership is like and whether their relationship with China is maintained or takes a turn for the worse.

Sure it's anecdote, but when coworkers at my growing startup are openly and seriously talking about "not hiring anymore white guys" in front of the entire c-suite and not losing their jobs, and when in fact I'm worried about losing my job for pushing back against such blatant discrimination, it's no longer a boogeyman. And I'm sure others here can relate.

Personal anecdote: When I moved from an office job to a WFH job, there was this absurd period when I had to do a series of interviews with the remote company. It was like 8 different interviews on 8 different days, and they were all video calls. So, I had to figure out 8 different excuses to be gone for two hours to commute home, do an interview, and come back to work, all within a couple weeks: dentist appointment, doctor's appointment, optometry appointment, picking a friend up from the airport, followup appointments, etc.

I'm pretty sure that's a huge tipoff to HR.

>>saving on food

I did not experience this. Even though I did eat out less, I seem to be eating more over all, and with the massive inflation in food costs I seem to be spending more than ever on food.

In the office it took effort to get something to eat, i had to drive someone, or prep a meal to bring with me, etc...

At home I just have to walk to the kitchen and eat....
I don't think OP's characterization is accurate at all.

Rule of law very much exists in the UAE. So much so that they have carved out a distinct common law system (so called DIFC courts) which effectively provide English language common law as a service. This was explicitly done to make investment and commercial activity in the country attractive, and within DIFC boundaries (and IIRC at this point nation-wide) supersedes the authority of Dubai's own courts on a whole range of matters.

Those 'financial free zones' basically function like charter cities so international investors do not have to deal with the domestic Shariah law system.

> How do you prepare for something that you don't know is going to happen? How would you have prepared for a major coronavirus outbreak before covid, for example?

Ensuring that the public is reasonably skilled in thinking, journalists are skilled in both thinking and telling the truth, people are reasonable satisfied with their relative lot in life (minimize wealth inequality, etc) lest they have something to get revenge for any way they can, etc would all have gone a long way toward minimizing the problems we experienced during covid.

Unfortunately, we didn't do any of these things, and now people are even angrier.

I think you're misunderstanding Netflix's scale and their culture. I am sure the SVOD service you architected was great but it probably wasn't Netflix scale.

Netflix's culture is heavily biased towards collecting metrics and experimenting with them. Their entire ethos is data oriented therefore they tend to capture a lot of metrics. You are terming it as a 'runaway engineering division that's lost' is unfair. You probably need to work at their scale for a while to appreciate the complexity of their business and technology needs. If it was easy to build Netflix, then everyone would.
Let me explain, I think we are arguing very different things. I am making a technical distinction about writing code, in that once you turn a tool of art into something less discriminate like a worm, or hide malicious and obfuscated code one crosses the line to doing active harm against your mission, whatever that is. I am not making any geopolitical statement or position on the outcome or actions beyond that which I consider a technical foul play to hurt others with software, malicious software, malicious intent. There are surely more elegant tools to wield.

Didn’t Joe Biden pressure the Ukrainian government to fire the prosecutor who was looking into these corruption allegations?
Can you share more about people keeping everything?
Not the OP but two reasons for that.

One is that Mozilla broke all the extensions on Android except a few ones so there are very few extensions that I can sync from Ubuntu to Android. And I only have a laptop plus a number of phones and tablets.

Two, I don't sync my data through somebody's else servers. I fancied to setup my sync server but that would be limited to Firefox. Instead I use KDEConnect and GSConnect to send tabs and files across devices (and Syncthing too.) I don't bookmark much. I pin a few sites to the new tab page.
Kind of in the same spirit, I'm not sure I could be paid enough to return to the office.

I'm pretty sure remote positions I'm qualified for will be open. I could get by with about half of my pay if needed

The idea of adding such dreadful routine to the day around already stressful work puts me over the edge

TL;DR: A pillar widths have increased due to increased standards for rollover accidents. This leads to blind-spots that cause drivers to hit pedestrians.

I've come dangerously close to hitting things due to the width of my A pillars, so I agree with this. I miss my 80s car..
Yeah they are going to raise taxes to pay for it because that's all they can do. Which is the opposite of what OP said
That's great. Lots of people have similar complaints about Firefox that could be fixed with a set of small patches, but every time I think of starting one, the build system brings me up short. Maybe this can be the start of an ecosystem of unofficial patches to address issues without having to completely jump ship to another browser.

I'm not sure if I would equivolate Elon Musk taking advantage of the literal purpose that EV tax credits were designed to a Russian grifter with the right connections being gifted the state oil company in 1992 for no reason other than he was buddies with someone in the old Soviet politburo.

You can try to make an argument that EV tax credits are bad and should be abolished, but the two situations just aren't even in the same universe.
But sometimes it works. Kissinger, et al were working off the post-WWII model where the authoritarian governments of Japan and Germany (in the Western half, at least) were successfully replaced by democratic regimes. Yes, it didn't work in China nor Russia nor the Middle East nor much of Eastern Europe. But why, exactly?
Well then just say whatever you want that's not restricted in any way. 'Open source' if you want to. Why did you ask if you don't care?

DCI (how movies are sent to theaters) does use JPEG2000, but I think they just wanted something with 12-bit video and that's pretty rare in any codec.

One advantage is if you want to decode the same picture at lower resolutions; JPEG can do this equivalent to nearest-neighbor, wavelets can do it equivalent to a better filter than that. But still not as good as just decoding and resizing down.
Search, "what hotel to stay in san francisco soma". You'll see that every single result above the fold is an Ad.

In fact it doesn't even give me a single useful piece of information. #1 result is a link to expedia. #2 is to hotels.com, #3 to the trip advisor. Scroll down Google Hotels widget. Then on the 3rd browser viewpoint page I get actual query results.
I think companies have tried, but it simply hasn't worked. Yahoo tried to do a lot of this, and simply failed. Arguably they could have done it better, but I don't think many will have a better shot than them for a while more to come.
Yeah, but it's also practical, so who's really winning here?
One of the weird parts I find about accessibility is that it tends to be considered as ‘something the developers do’. That we can solve accessibility just through technical means, and generally just by playing around with the user interface. In organization after organization I see accessibility as something the tech org has to champion to get time to deliver on, so it gets seen as an ‘extra cost’ of developing a feature. But the fact is that some features, as requested, are really hard to deliver in an accessible way - but if you thought about what you wanted to deliver from an accessible angle in the first place you might find there’s a way to solve the problem that is intrinsically more accessible.

In general not enough attention is paid to just flat out whether an entire business process is accessible. Or perhaps more - how you can adjust your business, your offering, or your process in order to make it possible for more people to access it, or to be employed by you in delivering it.

If you treat accessibility as a box checking exercise done by web and app devs you can end up worrying about making the driver portal of your ride sharing app work for a blind user, rather than thinking about what features are needed to make it possible for a person in a wheelchair to hire a rideshare that can accommodate them.

Accessibility doesn’t begin and end at screenreader support and text contrast levels. But if you leave it up to developers to do then that may be all you’re going to be able to get.
Early March 2020, I was not only in "prefer to work in office" but "will only work in the central corporate office, not a satellite" (after being burned by too many satellite office situations).

By August, I was enjoying forced-WFH. Around November, we went into the office to collect our belongings and during the 8.5 mile drive over there in zero traffic, I thought "damn this is taking forever, I hate this drive!" :)

Now, while our company is remote-first forever, I just got back from a 3 day in-person offsite in FL with one of my leadership teams and have had a few others over the last year since the vaccine was widely available. They are irreplaceable and I'd take a full-time in-office job before taking a all-remote job where in-person meetings a couple times per year was not feasible.
