Your reading is not accurate, and it's very antidotal.
I wonder if the extended sedentary lifestyle imposed by the lockdowns is also to blame to some degree.

I used to be very active, but seem unable to get back to shape more than one year after lockdown ended and gyms reopened.

I only got a very mild Covid this past January.
In most implementations there's only a key or two on the device that you have to sync. The webauthn protocol requires a site that accepts it to store a small amount of arbitrary data for each registered device, which is then handed to any device that attempts auth. Most devices use that to store a copy of the site-specific private key encrypted with one of the device keys. (IIRC there's usually a symmetric key and an asymmetric keypair that are protected by the device, and the symmetric one is the more convenient to use for encrypting the site data.)

It's possible to store every key the device has registered, but most devices don't do it that way to keep the cost of the secure enclave low.
Most of the world has some amount of socialism mixed in.

Originally this was a strategy devised by Otto von Bismark, a Prussian conservative who thought providing concessions to workers might help keep the communists out of Germany. He succeeded.

Over time, it turned out that social benefits can actually be quite effective for other reasons too.

Today, many OECD countries are explicitly social-democratic. Some countries claim to not be socialist at all, but still do have some (possibly more limited) social programs (eg in education and health care).

I am not a lawyer, nor a US person.

Since that employee being around is an ongoing net loss for the company, you could consider quietly sending them off to garden leave to end on the day after vesting, conditional on signing a severance agreement that's favorable to you (do not disparage, do not solicit etc.)

On the other hand, in some jurisdictions firing an employee a short time before a benefit is due may actually be legally hazardous.

Under the normal employee grant conditions - specifically waiving off power of attorney for governance - there shouldn't be that much that person can do to harm you. (They still might have access to shareholder reports FWIW). If they care about vesting, probably they have at least some interest in the company's success.

A final angle is the optics towards other employees - even if they don't like the person in question, you probably want to appear reasonable - which includes making an effort to part amicably.

So the takeaway here is - consult a lawyer and try to work a quiet solution so that everybody can go back to building that startup you care about so much.
Yeah - it's a specific implementation of the general idea. Chromebooks essentially fit the same bill. I just happen to have an iPad (and I do most arch design with a stylus so the Apple Pencil is fairly crucial to my workflow).

I'm fairly happy with the magic keyboard with it, but understand different preferences!

The flaw isn't just in the fact that it wasn't universal (I didn't receive money, for example). It's also in the fact that most (nearly all?) of the people receiving money were receiving it in lieu of income, and in fact were disabled from obtaining income.

Tack that onto a snarled global supply chain, and it's very difficult to pull meaningful outcomes from the noise: did people increase luxury and discretionary purchases just because they could, or were they influenced by an early glut of staple food purchases? Did people increase discretionary spending to entertain children and compensate for a lack of time spent outdoors and socializing? Did they purchase more expensive foodgoods for similar reasons?

I am not a particular proponent of UBI. But I don't think we (meaning us laypeople on HN) are going to be able, from our vantage point, to draw a useful conclusion from the last 30 months' economic activity. It's simply too weird.
Sure, but flagging comments (and not just downvoting) because one disagrees? I keep on the ability to see such posts precisely because more and more frequently the flagged / dead posts are the most interesting and informative ones. This mass flagging approach isn't exactly countering the argument that silencing opposition and censorship is the aim of stuff like this ruling.
I'm sorry to hear about your issues and hope you get to feeling better.

I've seen perfectly healthy people—before and after COVID—who literally had their life changed due to a completely random infection or issue. People who went deaf after having a baby or developed T1 diabetes. Some people were "perfectly healthy".

But some people seemed healthy until they weren't. One day, their eating/drinking/smoking habits caught up with them due to age or complications from things they didn't even realize were health problems until it suddenly became an issue.

I am not a doctor... but you mentioned weightlifting... the fatigue and neck pain could be a pinched nerve? Perhaps an injury that manifested itself after a viral infection? Have you seen a physiotherapist? I finally saw one about arm pain and it changed my life.

I've had it and everyone I know has had it (now in the dozens), including a number of elderly people. Everyone is fine. I recovered in a week, and out of literally dozens of people, I've not met anyone who took longer than that.

I'm sorry about your dad, but let's not exaggerate based on personal anecdotes. The stories that get upvoted are the ones that scare people.
I think a better approach would be to make an experiment and set people at different times (say 3, 5, 10, 30 years) and see how they compare. Maybe a 3 year trial is enough to draw certain types of conclusions but not others.

In any case, maybe 3 years trial might be enough to justify in the future a longer and bigger experiment which might be the point of these experiments.

Don't minimize based on it either.
View anything as a price to the company. This is a lesson you pay to not identify the problem and fire them early. Putting generosity aside, as an early startup, you cannot afford legal battles and ex-early-employee badmouthing you afterwards. And for an employee this early, they get what, at most 1% of the equity with a vesting schedule of 4 years? So at most 0.25%, which is nothing in the long run regarding the company's success. So, have a chat with them, negotiate at least 6 months equity, ask them to sign an agreement, and let them go asap.

Sure — the connecting topic is topos theory.

For a type theory we might want to reason about, there’s a diagram (in category theory) which represents the same semantic content. These diagrams turn out to have recurring and common structures.

You can represent those diagrams as adjacency matrices, where those structures have a particular “shape” in the entries. Which if you squint hard looks like an image completion problem, ie, finding missing part of the matrix which represents a proof.

> a lot of people who opposed it are just regular people who understand just how lazy regular people are

I feel like your underlying assumption is that "if UBI leads people to leave their jobs, UBI has obviously failed", whereas it's literally the very goal of UBI to reduce (or even eliminate, in the case of "full" basic income) the need to hold a job just to have enough income to merely survive. You can argue that's a bad goal if you want, but expecting everyone to continue working despite receiving free money is kind of missing the entire point of handing out that money.

Btw, just because people act a certain way in a short period of time (especially during a time that was so out of the ordinary) that doesn't mean they'd act the same way for ~half a century. Sure some fraction of them might, but lots of people would get bored and try new things. Having nothing to do for months or even a year or two can be fun and exciting for some, but that doesn't mean they'd love the idea of having nothing to do for the rest of their lives. People get bored, people want luxury, people want variety, people want fulfilment, people have kids to raise, etc.

When my employer laid people off due to COVID-19 they had everyone's stock vest. Linearly vest (as in, if they worked there 6 months they got 6 months of stock, not the 1 year cliff). This is the way to go. The one year cliff is to keep people from leaving on their own accord. Firing someone close to the vest date is a big red flag to other employees. Viewed from outside, it looks like an employer is trying to get out of paying an employee. It's not such a big deal to fire someone a couple months into a year long vesting cliff, but one month is way too close.
Unless the original title is misleading. Arguably, this one is.

I think licensure has totally gone off the rails. But this doesn't strike me as the best example. Just get the license. Your 2nd paragraph has gone further off.
It seems like a herculean effort to make it work from what I have seen at GitLab. Which includes having the majority of the site not in rails but Go microservices.

Personally I find that Ruby is more the problem than Rails. Having an untyped language makes things extremely difficult to work with as the app grows. Gem updates are very difficult to do safely.
Do you have any suggestions for Etsy seller communties? I have a friend who has a bunch of professional printing and cutting equipment, but the niche he sells in is very small - most of his business coming from word of mouth - and very seasonal. I feel he could be more successful expanding into slightly more main stream areas.
I used to use WhatsApp with my girlfriend because I had awful cell service at work but did have wifi. We switched to Signal and have been using it for years. She only talks to me on it and iMessage for everything else but I use it for SMS too. We would literally get into arguments sometimes because she wouldn't see SMS messages I'd send her with my one bar of 3G or they would be out of order and cause confusion. I love having all of my conversations in one app. I really like Signal and if this change goes through, it might make me seriously consider just getting an iPhone next time.
You're doing exactly the same thing classichasclass is, but in the opposite direction - and "minimize" seems like a fair antonym of "exaggerate".
Land Value Tax would fix this problem:
http://gameofrent.com/content/is-land-a-big-deal

UBI without LVT is probably inflationary, but LVT would provide a pretty natural mechanism for funding such a thing, and is the natural policy for preventing it from causing inflation, particularly in the housing sector.
> Personally I find it unlikely that non-targeted financial assistance is or can ever be as efficient a way to spend funds as targeted assistance.

So this may be true, but I think there's good reason to think UBI is more efficient than most aid programs for much the same reason free markets are usually more efficient than planned economies. Targeted systems tend to suffer from a few inefficiencies:

1. The bureaucracy consumes a large amount of money employing people and maintaining infrastructure

2. The burden placed on recipients of the money to ensure they meet the requirements lowers the efficiency of the aid. Even a few hours of appointments a month can end up being very costly in practical terms when you're poor.

3. The more the aid is constrained (e.g. a special card etc.) the higher the likelihood that it doesn't meet the need of the recipient as well as cash would.

The attentive reader may not all three of these inefficiencies are coming from the state's desire to more information about people's needs and wants. I can speak from firsthand experience that each of this issues can drop efficiency substantially.

We must also consider that many targeted programs are... not well considered, shall we say. We've known for decades that putting hard cliffs on benefit based on eligibility criteria is disastrous and yet it keeps happening. I have more than one disabled friends stuck in poverty wage they'll lose medicaid and instantly go bankrupt. This is wildly inefficient.

This is even assuming the eligibility criteria make sense in the first place, which is not a given. All that said, you could still be right, but I think there's enough possible upside it's still worth looking at very seriously.
I think this argument is about free vs. not-free frameworks. Frameworks that are supported by a company and actively developed are far superior to the state of NPM open source right now (thinking of Qt vs Electron and my 7 year battle with both).

It is no fun when an open-source framework pushes a new major version, then deprecates the version you were on, or dependencies fail to find matching version, and you beg github developers to fix the bug and your issue sits open for months and is then closed with no warning.
How do you handle the heat? At the rate we're going the surface of the Earth would glow like a light bulb in a handful of centuries.

> we’re too close to an astounding point for me to leave it unspoken. At that 2.3% growth rate, we would be using energy at a rate corresponding to the total solar input striking Earth in a little over 400 years. We would consume something comparable to the entire sun in 1400 years from now. By 2500 years, we would use energy at the rate of the entire Milky Way galaxy—100 billion stars! I think you can see the absurdity of continued energy growth. 2500 years is not that long, from a historical perspective. We know what we were doing 2500 years ago. I think I know what we’re not going to be doing 2500 years hence.

I am a big fan of Friedman and I think the negative income tax is probably the best form of UBI since it doesn't create much disincentive to find work. The numbers would have to be just so which can be tricky, which does make it a bit more complicated. There is of course some concern about how you'd implement a negative income tax and how that kind of thing could reach the homeless.
A lot of people are, in fact, amplifying things that scare them (or things that trigger emotions). All I've done here is share an equivalent, balancing anecdote.
In the same vein, shameless plug for my own library, Spartan Schema:

Well, yes. Exactly. That's my point. I'm sharing the boring story that doesn't get headlines.
Oh awesome, thanks for sharing. This looks great. I love the "choose an example persona" flow in the beginning.
> I wonder if the extended sedentary lifestyle imposed by the lockdowns is also to blame to some degree.

During the lockdowns I was less sedentary than before, since I had more time to take long daily walks and I also did a ton of physical work building a house with the time saved from commuting. Still, after I finally got COVID a few months ago, I've felt more fatigued than normal months after testing negative. Walking up the stairs suddenly got more tiring more often.
Most companies (and seo experts) vastly prefer .com domains though; wether for valid reasons or not, this still is the case. Squatters make loads of money from companies getting another tld and then later buying the .com.
You mean from a war, an energy crisis, a food crisis, ammonia shortage, neon shortage and post-covid global tension on supply chains around the globe right?

Good! Because the dates match perfectly and the inflation is global, not US centric.
I did not mean to imply that you championed anything, and I think you would certainly outcompete me. You’d have 2x the labor pool to pull from.

Ok, so it sounds like you were on top of the performance issue along the way, which is good.

Someone else mentioned a partial vest, which I love.

Let them go, tell them normally they'd walk away with nothing, but you're making an exception, so they will vest half.

It's a pretty good compromise.

It's not unusual for states to have legislation to restrict the definition and practice of "Professional Engineer's" (capital P, capital E) and other "Professions" such as Doctors, etc. However, that does not mean you cannot call yourself an "engineer" (lowercase E) because you write software or drive model trains. The issue in this case is that the article is quite correct (IANAL, but this is still my legal opinion - lower case O - to which I am allowed) the definition of Land Surveying Defined is way WAY overbroad and that's the understatement of the year.

8726 (a)(2) Determines the configuration or contour of the earth’s surface, or the position of fixed objects above, on, or below the surface of the earth by applying the principles of mathematics or photogrammetry.

So if you perform or offer to perform a service (publicly or privately) of locating fixed things using math or pictures you are performing Land Surveying.

HAHAHHAHAHAA Bullshit. I hope he has enough resources to trounce this bad law. He'll win if he can pay to fight it.
Anecdata: I've had Covid once. Whole family got it. Going out for walks was not impossible but winded me badly. We all recovered in about a week.

I had a single dose of Pfizer from about 3 months before. I never got a second dose. Kids all breezed through it.

The first month afterward required a lot of pushing and experimenting to get my body to respond to working out. Stuff like walking for extended periods of time was easy, but anything that got my HR into Zone 3 and above was taxing. After that month, things got progressively easier.

I also made a lot of other changes: diet improved tremendously, I lost 30+ pounds, and I feel like a completely different person now than before.

The only other people I know personally who got long covid had gotten 2 doses but had other issues like being overweight or having a horrible diet.
The hypothetical I want to pose people is, let's say your server is corrupted or I.pacted by ransomware. So you pull your gpg backups and hit restore. The data somehow looks correct and in line with expectations, but the signature fails to verify.

You can say 'well I know there was tampering, or possible one bit of bitrot' but then what? Let's say my backup was a poatgresql backup that restored correctly and had no obvious issues.

People often state backups mist be signed but just not sure how you would even respond. You cannot just not use the backup if all your backups are the same and you just had an incident. You could say "now we don't trust the data" but again what is meaningful action here?

Is it really a plausible threat that an attacker wiped put production, gained access to your backup infrastructure, but instead of just wiping it in order to force you to pay a ransom they took a new backup and quietly modified it? Surely such a person would just modify production if they wanted such a game.
I'm curious if this study refutes or supports this often cited study on long COVID (I can't tell from the NYTimes article):

> We demonstrate an absence of association between symptom burden
and radiographic or biochemical abnormality. We suggest that the phenomenon of Long-COVID may not be directly attributable to the effect of SARS-CoV-2, but rather the neuropsychiatric insults may play a greater role in its aetiology.

There was a similar phenomenon after 9-11 and gulf war:

> Similar post-traumatic syndromes, such as Gulf War Illness and post-9/11 syndrome, describe the occurrence of both physical and psychological symptoms in a similar pattern to what is being observed in Long-COVID.

https://sci-hub.st/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33569660/

"Breathlessness, palpitations and confusion or difficulty concentrating" seem to be the primary symptoms according to NYTimes but I'm curious if they've found any 'radiographic or biochemical abnormality' in this case... or whether that even matters. COVID was obviously a very serious and traumatic occurrence, especially for people who got a severe case.
Sure you can, beginners never research their questions and they don't give the right context.

Beginner question: "How to make a webserver using bash?".

Non-beginner question: "How to make a webserver using bash? I have this weird embedded system and it is missing SDK, http daemons or programming languages, but somehow comes with coreutils and fully-featured bash 5.0.17. And I really need to serve a single static webpage off it"

The first question will get X-Y answers like "here is how to install apache" and "you probably want to make CGI script instead, here is how you do it". The second one will get the interesting answers.
