Agreed. I work in the PP's PA and was promoted on my first try for doing unsexy but worthwhile maintenance work on an important tool. It can happen. In my estimation the best thing to do if you want to get promoted is 0) have a positive relationship with your manager 1) read the SWE ladder for the next level 2) give your manager a document that describes your work using the language of the ladder as closely as possible. Said ladder does not say you need to deliver a shiny new thing, despite what is commonly assumed in this forum.
The worst cases of sex work are those in which the sex workers are forced into it by human traffickers.

Wether consensual sex work is good or bad, it’s clear to me that discriminating against victims of human trafficking is a terrible idea. Those people need to be saved from their abusive circumstances.

> That started like 500 years ago, in 1500s. At that time America was just about to be settled by Europeans.

Tomatoes came to Europe from America as a consequence of settlement, so you have that backwards.

> That makes tomatoes in Italy as authentic as Mexican cuisine.

Well, it makes it almost as old as Spanish-derived Mexican identity. There is quite a bit of cuisine now identified as “Mexican” that is older, e.g., of Aztec origin.
At least in the UK I don't think that attitude would fly given the requirements for timely supply chain payments. They actively encourage SME use in some fields and the ecosystem is richer for it. An attitude like you describe would be seriously damaging.

How on earth does a legal department win cases where they simply do not pay for what they are contractually obligated to pay for? Sounds like a dystopian system.
In bad conditions this is the case foe every power plant.

The easiest website to maintain is a website maintained by someone else and you pay a few bucks or find a free offering. The author wants both, full control and minimum maintenance. This is a well known contradicting.

> I decided that i would host a website on a machine that i controlled

If you host yourself then you have to maintain that server, but you're in full control. If you pay someone else todo so, you give up full control, but you don't have to maintain the server. It's a tradeoff.

I have worked in cybersecurity both as a product developer and a bounty hunter / pen tester. One of my sisters is a housewife and former kindergarten teacher.

She believes the 2020 US presidential election was “stolen”, partly by being hacked by China (the Mr. Pillow Guy CEO hypothesis). She knows nothing about the details of the domain, but she has a strong conviction opinion on the topic. I spent a lot of time investigating what evidence was publicly available and was thoroughly unconvinced.

Is it “sad” that I am “too proud” to adopt her logic/thinking/chain of facts?

Or is it simply that the domain experts are overwhelmed with noise (bad ideas from non-domain-experts)?

The default mentality of scientists should be skepticism of conclusions and creativity/curiosity for hypotheses. That’s a difficult mindset for one individual. There is a reason why red teams and blue teams are specialized.
Not an epidemiologist, but from what i understood in this article and others, yes, masks were and still are extremely useful. Social distancing less so, especially in closed locations ( because airborne means it can spread anywhere if the ventilation isn't good, unlike with droplets that had a limited range).
Me too. I got mentally ill in 2001 and got burned out. I found out the hard way when you are the best most efficient worker they assign you tasks that other people can't or won't do. The stress builds up from the extra work and burnout happens.

Grew up on the same street as a Straus dairy. Kinda interesting how the dairies for different milk labels in that area (Straus, Clover, Lucerne) all basically have the same land and cows - but the milk will taste quite different across the labels.

> with regards to Japan, actively promoted the airborne nature of COVID-19 early on. I remember seeing specials on NHK visualising the spread from a sneezing person in a room in March 2020.

Sneezing would be the droplets distribution theory, which is now "debunked". If the virus is airborne, there's no need to sneeze to spread it.
Which countries exactly? EU kept it’s head firmly in the sand until Bergamo happened towards the end of February, and even then the prevailing philosophy was “Italians are idiots, this can’t happen to us”.

As I understand it, chilis were brought (first to Goa) from the Americas by Portuguese traders. Similar to tomatoes in Italy these are hundreds of years ago shortly after Columbus failed to find the spice route (to Asia) he was looking for... but finding another spice, silver, and tobacco route.
I think that it is clean as an API and much easier to use than io_uring. Maybe it could be implemented as a library on top of it.

And wheat-based flour tortillas would have been unknown prior to Columbus. Similarly anything based on beef or chickens, both old-world animals.

I stopped because:

1) I don't miss it or crave it. There are great alternatives, especially craft non-alcoholic beer (in the US). I have found that not-from-concentrate pomegranate juice is a good wine alternative too, because it has a similar mouthfeel and you have to sip it.

2) It shortens my life (makes my health worse, forces me to sleep longer, etc.)

3) I can have fun socializing without it. I don't have any social anxiety or any other issues that alcohol helps with.

I worked with Matthew Cook at ETH Zürich after he left wolfram for that reason. Cooks proof of the Turing completeness of the 110 rule [1] is in my opinion the only interesting piece in the new kind of science book. The dispute emerged from wolfram handling this not with science in mind, but capitalism. Putting an NDA on the publication of cook, to frame himself as the source.

I think you can say that you will regret it, but not that everyone would. For some people, alcohol is a huge social booster and the benefits are worth the cost.

Also, it doesn't make most people feel ill if they drink it in moderation and/or drink enough water.

Realism in teaching examples/questions is a bit of a red herring. Corporate education particularly loves the buzzword of 'business-relevant', but I think it's often actively harmful.

When you're teaching something new, you want to be able to isolate that concept/technique and focus in on it. A simplified example, or a question with strict parameters, both allow the student(s) to concentrate on the key idea.

If you want to teach someone about SELECT in SQL, for example, it's useful to abstract away the database setup for that particular lesson. It's also useful to use a simplified database concerned with familiar entities, so that SELECT remains the focus rather than one new element of many.

Of course, these simplified examples shouldn't be used in isolation. Instead, you should have a number of them, eaching illustrating/assessing some small point or idea. Once the students have absorbed those ideas, then you start combining the initial building blocks into more complex ideas, just as you'd take a tiered approach when testing software; start with unit tests, then build up.

Effective education moves in steps.

I can add to antiframe's feedback, by saying that I agree with them. The text is rather hard to read to me (without repeating antiframe's points). Also, on the CV page, the text is going back and forth - first on the left side, then right, then middle, and there's pictures here and there that adds to the visual cognitive noise.

The bar on the right also has two icons that doesn't seem to do anything (save, next).

Finally, as a non-native english speaker to another, I respectfully add that the tone of your comments come across as a bit confrontative, which together with seemingly strongly held opinions and seemingly not very open to feedback, makes me hesitant to engage in this discussion.

It's the weird units. Students don't like weird units.

I remember I once, many years ago now, had a chemistry professor give temperatures in Fahrenheit for a thermodynamics problem, which to solve needed absolute temperatures in Kelvin. On a final exam. The class was not happy! (I didn't care, I both know the conversion and have a calculator that can do it.) He just wrote a table on the board with five entries: the boiling point of water in °F and °C, and the freezing point of water in all three systems.

Can you imagine that the students got even more upset at this? He eventually gave in and just did the conversion for everyone. I learned more than one thing that day.

Now I'm in industry and completely unfazed by this kind of thing. Sometimes shit's in Fahrenheit, that's just the way it goes, you just have to deal with it. Don't sweat the easy stuff!

It's literally the opposite of that. The criticism you are levelling is precisely what makes the idea of the strong emergence of consciousness such a joke.

Panpsychists say that consciousness always exists, all the way down, not that it emerges. It is a view born out of the rejection of the kind of emergence you are describing.

> Information was floating around in China and Taiwan before that. Cases in China date back to October/November 2019.

That's not true, as the Time report clearly states. Cases have been dated back to October/November by analysis, not by news reports.

It's also worth noting that the WHO's own website does not mention that Taiwan told them about the Wuhan news report [1],

> WHO’s Country Office in the People’s Republic of China picked up a media statement by the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission from their website on cases of ‘viral pneumonia’ in Wuhan, People’s Republic of China.

They received word about that "media statement" from Taiwan. The "media statement" was later deleted, but not before it was screenshotted and distributed on PTT, a Taiwanese social network.

> The Wuhan Doctor referred to it as a 'sars like virus'.

China did not allow these statements to be made public until around January 20 when they finally stated human-to-human transmission was confirmed. At first they detained doctors who tried to speak out.

Taiwan was the first to publicly call it SARS. In early January they sent a team to visit Wuhan, then came back and said "this is SARS".

There is also much propaganda still coming out of China that the virus started elsewhere. Which may be true, we'll probably never know for sure.
Everyone knew since the original sars outbreak that the only protection was a respirator. The N95 is the lowest level that provides meaningful protection.
All models show that arable land will decrease in some places, but also increase in others. Net land loss due to submerging coastal areas, but also arctic areas like eg. Greenland becoming suitable for some kind of agriculture after defrosting.

And the fact "the surface of the planet is no longer recognizable" doesn't mean uninhabitable.

And "to deal with the psychological stress this imposes on them" people can also simply choose to care less, focus socially on accelerating tech development and individually stay entertained while competing in the new worldwide casinos and global-events-betting-markets etc. or playing games in the metaverses whose outcomes results in real-world-money redistributions.

> we'll see subtle but steadily increasing madness consume the population

Maybe your definition of "sanity" is a bit bit constrained and needs to be adjusted then :) To keep the optimism up, maybe future challenges will usher in an era where we finally evolve psychology and psychiatry beyond the pseudoscientifc nonsense they are today, and we replace the "war on drug" with "full access to BOTH drugs and safety information about using them" + a culture focused more on using them for freely managed performance enhancement instead of plain aimless entertainment and "feeling better".

I see a lot of future's problems as opportunities tbh... and challenging stress to force us evolve faster if we modulate it right. This is what I care about most now really, working of figuring out how to "modulate things right" to be able to squeeze the positive after effects even from clearly destructive events like wars and genocides.

One man's hell is another man's heaven I guess: I've always dreamed of finally seeing the opportunity to push the masses out of this mentality combo of christianity/islam/buddshism and other maladaptive crap that paradoxically combines well with eco-scientims or passive-observe-but-not-influence-science. (Real scientific progress was/is always engineering-driven and theories come after evidence they are derived from... the modern "use theoretic speculation to design experiments" is a dead end, all interesting experiments were designed by a desire to "engineer something" even particle accelerators emerged out of desires to build-devices-to-measure/separate/produce/concentrate some isotopes or particles etc. in the hopes that at least they'd be interesting for poisons or guns.)

Let's start engineering cool solutions (pushing reflective particles into the atmosphere to reduce warming, using modern biotech to completely extinct tropical disease vectors to keep the newly-becomed-tropical areas human friendly), then engineering solutions to the new cool problems that the first solutions generate and them on and on and on faster and faster and faster!

The "madness" is imo a (maybe rough) transition to a more fertile era of though, science and engineering...
