how do you verify the contents of said resume without having enough information to identify them?

I think mistletoe sets berries in the fall so I will have to wait to try to gather some berries so I can mess with this at home. It sounds interesting.

The interesting part for me will be whether berries can be stored and preserved and for how long and whether that affects the ability to produce this sticky stuff.

I had always heard that mistletoe afflicted trees when the berries were shit out by birds and the berries became lodged in the crooks of the tree limbs above branch collars. It didn't occur to me that they had their own glue but that explains how they can infect even the smallest branches on a tree.

I know that birds definitely spread seeds of other tree species and that jays were a main species enabling the northward spread of forests after the last ice age.

I also fight birdshit elms, hackberries, and bois d'arc along my fencelines and anywhere else a bird stops long enough to shit. I had an old vehicle parked out in the pasture for several years and the blue jays and sparrows used it as a perch, admiring themselves in the mirrors and of course shitting all over it. After a couple years I had trees growing in the outline of this vehicle. I have since moved the vehicle under a shed where it is a less attractive perch and I kept the new grove of trees, all birdshit elms, as a natural feature called the Bronco Grove. They are growing well and have been used by other birds as nesting sites.

I've used other birdshit trees as quick shade sources. Hackberry grows fast and has excellent shade so you can companion plant a hackberry with an slower-growing oak and then remove it when the oak starts to get large enough to make good shade.

I have been in the habit of cutting out any mistletoe afflicted limbs since it will weaken the limb over time but there are always places too high up or too far out for me to reach with the tools on hand.

Thanks for this article.
Was this determined by studying media in mice?
For me, this is the biggest part of the debate. It's not whether solar is up to the task or not, it's whether supply chains can support solar. From what we've seen, no, they cannot. You can provision the solar plant and the storage array, but there likely just won't be enough panels or batteries being produced to build it. Pumped hydro storage is only viable in some places, and from what it seems to me all the other ideas for energy storage are theoretical at best.

I'm not opposed to investing heavily in solar...it's the best long-term energy source we can hope for until we crack the fusion nut. However, until we have the resources in place to make it happen, fission is our best bet. This shouldn't be an either-or: we should be building both, as fast as we can. And once we have enough solar to power our collective needs consistently, we can decommission our nuclear plants and put this behind us.

>Actually talking to the opposite sex even in a casual way is a really good way to get over this type of thinking.

Any idea for mobile?
I don’t think UBI in the form of currency would be useful.

I do want to guess that in a time frame 5-10 years, it would make more sense for govt to institute a system where everyone gets free electricity/water/energy and food stamps etc. maslow’s pyramid would be widely popular again.

I think the following should be implemented(rather than a prediction) from a Californian pov:

1. Cap population and allow migration to maintain population limit(exodus/immigration/emigration/death rate/birth rate etc). Create a point based immigration system like every other sensible country in the world.

2. Abolish all taxes expect a single flat consumption tax.

3. Automate most of public sector and take governance/voting to the block chain. Every issue goes to a vote.

4. Create a two tiered weighted voting system. One for all residents(issues related to daily living in CA like roads/transport/schools etc..people focused decisions) and another for citizenry(security/energy/environment/capital/infrastructure/elected official..state related decisions)

5. Provide everyone free utilities/food stamps/govt housing/ medical/ education(university as well as vocational).

6. Be food secure, sustainable, energy independent.

7. Remove all campaign funding and keep govt small. Elected officials are public servants. They must serve.
all civilizations are now western civilisations (or in progress).

The part about I-9 compliance directly contradicts the parent comment which stated, "any contractor . . . and must ask them to fill out an I-9 form."

The part about the 1099 reporting does agree with the parent comment, however, added some additional context about what happens if the contractor refuses and what exactly the business's responsibility is, which I thought was relevant to this discussion.
Isn’t that the point of their healthcare/retirement system

I don't think "Encourage people to move out of the country during the working years and move back to the country when they are old and need expensive healthcare coverage" is the point.

It may be the result of their system, but it's not the point. But if it became a problem, they could require that you buy back into the system after an extended absence out of the country.

The hookups you missed do matter in that you missed out on a lot of the “fun” life provides. It also takes guts to initiate a lot of these conversations and helps a person grow.
>Because a lot of men like to swipe right on nearly everyone and buy passes which get them unlimited swipes

I think you're wrong. I've read that the main apps have done some work in the past years to make the "swipe on everything" strategy non-optimal. However, the fact of the matter is that the main apps could have been lying to me and you could be right and I could be wrong. It's so very difficult to draw conclusions from these dating apps when they're effectively black boxes to us common folk.

There's definitely a great deal of money and interest that could be had from creating an open-source dating app such that no one would be in the dark on what's being served to whom.

We are talking about IoT devices where (hopefully) the company knows exactly what is installed and what not, so I don't think it is a big issue. There may still be conflicts to solve, but you can manage them when you prepare the deb package, not when you install it
I feel like HN has split crowds on this. I personally enjoy having a connection with my coworkers. I spend a lot of time in my week with them, and if I enjoy being around them, I consider that a win.

Other people want as little to do with their coworkers as possible. Not saying either of these is bad or the "right mindset", but there is a difference in preferences here.
As always in those situations - people like the parent post author pretend that "what is offensive to who" is a settled issue and not the main front in the current culture war.

So do what Russia does.

Deport the unfavorable people to Siberia. Then import the willing population into Ukraine.

Given the Russian "tactics" and "strategy" for its war in Ukraine, it is clearly a threat of cultural genocide. Russia aims to destroy the Ukrainian people and their history, and disperse them into Siberia where they won't be able to become a threat.

---------

USA tries to "win hearts and minds" because we've convinced ourselves that we're the "good guys", and want to win under certain conditions. Without hearts and minds, we lose and we're willing to accept that.

When Russia fights, they're not aiming for that at all. Its just destruction. Even against "brother Slavs", its better for Ukraine to be destroyed than for it to play nice with NATO (or so they want to believe).

Under these circumstances, the only solution is to arm the Ukrainians and give them a fighting chance. Otherwise, the Ukrainians will be completely, and utterly, annihilated as a people.

----------

Russia has the will and the right strategy here in broad strokes.

They fortunately, don't seem to have the right tactics or approach. So it looks like the Russians will fail. But even as they fail, they will cause hundreds-of-billions, maybe trillions of dollars worth of damages, and likely cause the largest famine event the world has ever seen.

Better weapons and a better defense could have prevented the Ukrainians from losing their coastland. Better weapons could have allowed Ukraine to continue their grain exports. Better weapons and defenses could have protected Ukrainian's grain silos, which are being blown up and pillaged.
It's unexpected that they're coming at this from an abortion angle... but I'm all for it.

Just last month it was reported that the CDC was buying troves of this data (from the same vendor Warren is calling out) to monitor millions of us without our permission. Similarly DHS, ICE, and the FBI have all been found to be buying this data -- which is a legal loophole to get around actually getting a warrant.

I hope lawmakers don't carve out any exceptions for government in any such ban.
A nightmare as in "my job will likely be boring until the day I retire". A nightmare many dream of.

This sounds like a good thing, but I'm not sure it is.

Capital wins under the current system because the bad guys control your reputation and career, but capital will win under a pseudonymous work system too because careers will cease to exist (or, in any case, will be difficult to assemble) and the commoditization of labor will be complete.

I'm a very "out" antifascist, and I've lost jobs due to my public not-liking-fascists, so I'm sympathetic to people who'd benefit from pseudonymous work, but fiverrization is not the way forward.

The solution is to have aggressive right-to-forget, anti-blacklisting, and anti-discrimination laws, and not only to enforce them vigorously but to go forward on the presumption of employee innocence (that is, innocent until proven guilty).
Elon Musk Says He Voted for a Republican for the First Time
It is basically impossible for me not to find something I could be outraged about or offended by in any company I've ever worked in. If I was not able to respond in a way other than lashing out I would be unemployable, and for good reason.

There is off course nuance here. There are certain principals I am not willing to violate and will burn bridges to speak out against. But it's important to distinguish between those principals and other offensive ideas so you know when to fight those battles and when not to.

You seem to be reading this article and reading stuff between the lines that other people aren't. The article itself doesn't give you enough detail to know whose between the line reading is correct. Seems like maybe that's worth remembering.
When I was a postdoc 10 years ago in the US I brought home about $2200/month. My health insurance deductible was $5000/year. I paid $1800/month in student loans. My family had to move into my parent's basement, and every credit card was maxed, every bank account overdrawn, major food anxiety, etc.
Just FYI this will get you into a decent amount of hot water, and the company into a lot of hot water, for all kinds of labor law and IRS reasons.

That's why it should be a concept known to all levels of the architecture so any mitigations can be applied topically and don't need to affect anything else.
Thank you, I see. I tried to Google around for this but couldn't find a strong source: How does Japan compare to a country with the highest marriage rate?

Wikipedia[1] says in 2014, Palestine had the highest marriage rate per capita, followed by Fiji, Egypt, the Bahamas, etc. I suppose the closest comparison to Japan might be another Asian country?

Just curious if it's the taboo on PDA, flirting, and other personal interactions, or is it something more societal. Does Japan need a sexual revolution?

> The assumption that being set for life, wealthy etc equals a person who is callous about others is as nonsensical...

But nobody is claiming that. You're right, it is nonsensical!

I think the question is: To what degree does one's wealth affect how one believes others should behave to achieve similar success and/or not be homeless?
What "spiritual scope"? There are many and involve different things. No way does a Christian Monk, a Greek Oracle, a Buddhist monk, a viking warrior, and a caveman have the same spiritual scope. How many are denied enlightenment?

This has become a secret thing that you should discover and know and most won't know which tells me it's not actually important or required to know.
I hadn't heard of it, but skimming some quick reading about it, yeah, I definitely agree with it. It also led me to the term "effective altruism", which is something I've been advocating for pretty much my whole life, never knowing there was a phrase defined by it. So that's neat. I'm curious to know how what proportion of people around the world follow these principles; I can't find any definitive or combined data on it, and I'm cynical enough to think it's not very high, just from my own experiences with other people in our hypercapitalistic, hyperindividualistic US society.

Funny enough, the Wikipedia article about Earn To Give mentions something that reminds me of my father. It says that David Brooks and John Humphrys have criticized the movement by claiming that once people start earning wealth, they will inevitably become less altruistic over time. My father always used to say, "When you're young, you're a liberal, because you have a heart; but when you're older, you're a conservative, because you have a brain". (That is, of course, not something he made up, but a parroted quote that's been said for many years.) And it always struck me as not only odd, but cruel, to draw a dichotomy between empathy and rationality, as though it's literally stupid to care about other people.

Anyway, thank you for letting me know about something new! :)
I am not sure if it is still handled that way, but in my experience these are not supposed to be used to create new receipts, but to replace receipts that were lost or document things that occured but couldn't be put on receipts for whatever reason.

While it might be possible to use them this way they might be scrutinized and the additional work of justifying them might not be worth using a service that doesn't provide receipts.

Also, there is this section:

> Soll die Ausgabe vom Finanzamt anerkannt werden, muss dies ein Ausnahmefall bleiben.

Meaning, roughly "Even if accepted by the authorities, it is to be treated as an exception"

So i assume that they would not be a fan of you trying to use this too liberally within your accounting.
At some point we'll find a new equilibrium.

Everybody is currently so desperate for this talent, there's been a big shift toward remote work meaning competition that used to be highly localized is now everywhere, and giant companies are on hiring tears so it's driving up the market rate for the talent and companies that can't afford that are having a huge problem hiring.

We're already seeing the knock on effects of this as contracts with IT vendors come up for renewal and we're being charged XX% more this year for no marginal benefit from what we had last year.

At some point the customers of those companies can no longer afford their products at the rates they have to charge to pay engineers that much and hiring freezes, layoffs and pay cuts will start happening. Until then everybody's trying to suck as much money out of the system as they can - that's just capitalism.
What’s the ‘page’ in Pageserver? Is it a B-tree page? Or disk page?

I have a hunch that Pageservers contain the disk pages, so storing the B-tree (or may be LSM) pages and compute traverses those pages to find the relevant page/pages. I am curious about how does it fit in together and fetches from disk/Pageservers work
You also trade there? Haha, that websocket.
> People who point out things can be done without them, who largely see them as useless due to lack of familiarity

There's no need to dismiss the those who disagree as just having a lack of familiarity. There is a technical trade off to be made, with pros and cons each way. The only people that are objectively wrong are those that claim the decision is clear cut.

The con, in particular, is language complexity. You only have to look at C++ to see that it is possible to include to many features in a language. There's no disputing that tail calls are useful. The question is whether they are so useful that everyone who learns the language has to understand them.

Would you contend that the offensiveness of racial slurs like the n-word is not a settled issue? That's the level we're at here.

This isn't "somebody said Latina and not Latinx." This is "the CEO wants to be free to use a word that has been notoriously offensive for decades at work."
As whymauri has illustrated, there's a ton of pettiness that goes on between tenured professors and outside of anything to do with the tenure process. It's nothing but people with big egos being a small fish in a small pond and then stomping around like toddlers to make sure everybody knows they are there.

I still have memories of wanting to tell some of my tenured professors that they needed to grow up and find bigger things to cry about. I was in my 20s, they were all 40+.

At least IME, the younger non-tenured professors were less likely to engage in this pettiness because they had, as you have pointed out, a lot more to lose.

The website is official information from the German federal agency for radiation protection. While the risk now is low, and the article is actually giving a useful comparison to radiation exposure in airplane travel, you probably still wouldn’t want to eat those mushrooms or game every day, and the contamination was much higher in the first months/years after Chernobyl. The overall point is that the impact was not restricted to a 50 mile radius as suggested by the GP.
The first job I had out of school billed me out for $325/hr. That's a high rate for a high level lawyer. Unlike lawyers, they were able to bill me out for almost every hour I was at work, which comes out to about $650k/yr. I made a small fraction of that.

Were we better organized, we engineers would take a much greater portion of the profits we generate. After unionizing, professional athletes are paid about half of what they directly generate. Before unionizing they got peanuts.
Keeping 2G+4/5G alive looks like a good option to me - 2G is supported by any GSM phone and has long range, 4/5G - high bandwidth for modern phones. I would not miss 3G at all if 2G and 4G will be available, but 2G decommission will turn a lot of working dump/feature phones into e-waste (I myself use multiple SIM-cards and some of them are in 2G-only phones).
If you want a simple appeal to medical science, gender dysphoria is recognized in the DSM-5 [1], and gender-affirming care and identification have been shown to result in measurable improvements in transgender people’s health outcomes [2].

Neither of those things are true for “trans-racialism.”

Beyond that: I struggle to find almost any good-faith examples of people claiming that they genuinely believe themselves to be “trans-racial.”

> He would be wrong with those claims, too.

No he isn't. His point is that some potential business models need $X amount of software engineering work to have a viable product, has a potential customer base of $Y, and the market will bear a price of $P for the software. Gross income is $Y * $P.

All else being equal as SWEs get more expensive the amount of $X you can get drops. If that puts you below the threshold for a viable product and your business doesn't have the power to raise $P then you don't have a viable business.

This is obviously a simplistic example but the principle still holds.
Not yet... It might happen in the future but it has not happened yet.
Not the one you're replying to, but started my Linux experience with Ubuntu 6.10, was using it all the way up to ~17, and started using Arch Linux after that since during my time of using Ubuntu, I learnt enough Linux that I could setup my own system (and of course, with the help of the awesome Arch Wiki).
