The disease casually mentioned (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encephalitis_lethargica) in the article is worth looking into as well - a ?virus? that causes coma, that appeared, wreaked havoc (affected ~1M people and killed half) for a decade or so, then disappeared
> that also included treating the non-union employees to more perks like company provided drinks, snacks, more breaks, better pay, and better staffing levels. In some cases our non-union warehouse employees were paid more than the union employees for the same position.

This just goes to show that unions improve working conditions and employee outcomes for everyone. If it takes fear that a union might spread to make a company treat their employees better that's still a win for unions, even if it puts unionized employees in a position where they now have to bargain for those same improvements.

The company is an origination whose goal is to extract as much out of their employees as possible for as little compensation as possible and when employees organize to prevent being exploited that way everyone wins, including the companies themselves.
Yes, that's right, but you can't quickly jump between windows 3 & 7 by doing something simple like Win+Shift+7 / Win+Shift+3
If it's not an implication, and it doesn't matter, then why was it brought up here?

Nobody is denying that people die randomly, the question here is the whether there is a subset of people who have symptoms and die randomly that can be attributed to covid.

It seem like the actual implication is that covid cannot be the cause of anyone's symptoms or deaths and that this is much to do about nothing... which imo to totally rule out covid for anything is absurd.
I've been burned by so many frameworks I am hesitant to use one unless the advantage is abundantly clear. Even something as mundane as an ORM can cause massive problems down the line if you're not careful, or you forgot to anticipate the case you need something more complicated than braindead CRUD.

Frameworks force you into a paradigm. Yes, to spin up quicker, get new engineers onboarded quicker, etc a framework will do the job. But it's not a free lunch. In exchange for this you are hopelessly intertwined in the author's idea of what makes something good. You're bound to their bugs, you're bound to the nuance, and most importantly you're developing knowledge of a framework, and not what the framework does. Some major frameworks, for example React, might pass the smell test as "just use it". This is the exception and not the rule mostly guided by the fact that Javascript is the absolute hottest garbage to ever grace our unfortunate field.

For some people this exchange is worth it. I'd generally recommend a company use pieces of a framework where they can. But to use a whole framework? Let's put it this way, early in my career I was involved in more old rails projects than I care to admit that were FILLED with kludges because no one could justify actually doing it right and in-housing most of it. I've been involved in projects that were hopeless dependent on the ORM-du-jour that were completely hamstrung because the ORM didn't take full advantage of the query planner, or lacked the necessary constructs for complicated queries, etc. ORMs are the worst, in my opinion, because the only other option is to then _force_ the ORM to do what you would've done originally (defeating it's purpose). General purpose web frameworks are close runners up (and related).

Your 5 points are nice sounding, and you probably get a lot of CTOs and engineering directors to agree with you. However, as a man in the trenches I can't say anything but you're fortunate to never have been on something complicated enough that a framework hamstrings you. Rescuing a project from a decision made by some framework-first shortsighted genius is the reason we get paid as much as we do.

> Wikipedia is not a blog

That's the second time today someone has said that to me. Is this the prescribed mantra to justify their obvious lack of objectivity?

Take Trump's entry for example: looks like a blog, walks like blog, talks like a blog.

I suggest you have a look at what the co-founder of Wikipedia has to say about it. Larry Sanger, not that Wales fellow.
>one of the biggest proponents for UBI was Milton Friedman through the negative income tax.

A negative income tax is most definitely not UBI. You still have to work to get it, therefore it's not universal. It's a pure wage subsidy program.
Do you have a source? I've both never heard this, or seen the clips. And I know a lot of people who HATE Jones and his fanbase, so I can't believe it would slip by them.
The wine... it's been deoxygenated. Once the glass is properly rimmed by a green sharpie, the tone it emits when stuck is exquisite. The aroma from the tincture of leaves swirls around the glass emitting a nutty flavor that perfectly compliments the 3rd harmonic.
I agree. OP has done themself no favors by kicking the can down the road. It was cruel to let them carry on this long without consequences. There is no need to heap on another cruelty. The fact that OP even has to wonder about this is depressing. You’re the boss. The buck stops with you. And that includes holding yourself accountable.
Founder of a Series A company. Just give them the equity which should be in the form of options at this stage, which they will need to choose to exercise. If shares still give it to them.

If you don't people will gossip and hurt employee moral.

As for effect on cap table, theres no issues with a former employee having some common shares. If you raise money it will likely be in the form of preferred shares.

I'd given up on shared history because it never worked the way I like. This looks very promising, thank you.

I think the Google Fi MVNO has been an exception. Pricing might not be as competitive as it used to be, but it doesn't feel questionably monetized. Just an OK plan for people that fit a small niche.

One reading which might be valid is that testing on hardware that lives in the happy path will lead you to think your code has less issues than it actually has on real user systems.
Intel has had a bad 10 years. The market has more than doubled in size and yet they have grown 25%. 10 years ago Intel made more revenue than AMD, Nvidia, and Qualcomm combined. I bet Qualcomm passes Intel in revenue in two years. All those companies have more than doubled their revenue. AMD went from $6b to $22b. NVidia from $4b to $30b. Qualcomm $19B to $54B. Intel went from $53B to $68B with the last 2 years being flat and this year actually declining.

Intel can't execute. They are failing to shrink transistor size. Failed at a 5G modem. Failed to deliver a competitive mobile processor.
If you read far enough, this is the author's actual complaint: "Yet most frameworks come with all those details up-front and mixed up. They often make it very hard, if not impossible, to be isolated." I disagree. Very few of the frameworks I've used have made it difficult for me to write all the interesting parts of my app in a framework-agnostic way. A complaint I could agree with is "frameworks tempt people to write too much framework-dependent code", but a purely technical criticism does not match my experience with frameworks.
Either way, all of those costs are as cheap today as they ever will be.
He never had covid to anyone's knowledge, atleast he never took any time off for it and never showed symptoms. All we know is he was vaccinated, went to the gym, was energetic at work, and died in his sleep.

I was just making a point that covid related anecdata exists on all sides. In response to the guy above me giving out his singular anecdata point.

Edit: also, I had met the guy 3 years ago and talked for 10+ minutes.. and now he's dead at 49. So it was top of mind.
Please accept my sincere respect. I have been trying to create a blog of sorts with no or clear degradation upon no javascript myself, but I am not much of a UI expert and have failed to make my UI good looking.

You are using flask. How is the performance? I moved away from flask to FastAPI but another one of my goal has been to create a program that can run on cheapest VMs availalble in the market, which means very low ram. I am currently trying to rewrite the server into Go and use something that can consume jinja2 templates in it.
You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower
Well, I don't disagree, and we could almost label that "framework zero", and also hence the reference to Unix utilities and their assumptions regarding stdin/out, but I am also taking a contextual cue from the article linked at the top which is clearly taking aim at large pre-chewed boluses of code such as Rails, Django, Drupal and so forth.

I am just about old enough to have even toggled in a program on the front panel of a PDP-8 that my local university had kept around to occupy valuable floor space in their computing center. I wouldn't say I used a framework, but I was just a kid at the time, so it's possible that I did use a stepladder.
Work with your school's career center. They should be running career fairs and maintaining relationships with local companies and alumni affiliated companies that will help your resume get screened.

It helps if you have a personal project to highlight on the resume and discuss in interviews. But if you don't, highlight an interesting school project.

If you're graduating soon, you're also graduating into a downturn, so you're going to have to work harder to get started. Keep an eye out for good work in your field, but also look for other stuff where you can build up experience in a workplace, even if it's just office work.
>It's not obvious at all; in fact the tax percentage is meaningless on its own. People get too hung up on tax rates instead of focusing on purchasing power and quality of life.

1. in an economy where 30% (or whatever) of people aren't working and the remaining are getting taxed higher % of their income to fund the people who are not working, how is the living standard of the people who are working go up?

2. A sense of "fairness" factors into this as well. People are known to reject "unfair" deals, even though the said unfair deal would still give them strictly positive values.
In Germany, where water for agriculture gets scarce, some farmers are adopting methods that I consider semi-hydroponic. For example burying a soaker hose below the crops.

However, "real" hydroponic systems need to be protected from rain, I think, because rainwater would dilute the nutrient solution if it leaks into the system.

How about you look up the case and read the complaint for yourself, then you can express your opinion on how it's deficient. I don't know how the jurors parsed the evidence and haven't followed the trial so closely that I want to restate the plaintiffs' arguments.
How to disable it?
The job of an executive is to Deal With It.
The state did not. The fine was decided by a jury.

I have a very strong suspicion that if I started exercising my 'freedoms' in a harassing manner against you personally then suddenly your views would be very different.
All companies I've worked for so far outfitted their employees with the cheapest screens that where somewhat typical in the respective years (e.g. 24" 1080p screens 5 years ago, 27" 1440p now). 4k screens have been available for much longer for reasonable prices (more like 500$ can 1000$), are much more ergonomic - and they still didn't invest in those.

I think that's due to a mixture of productivity and employee pain hardly being measurable, and whoever decides the budget for those things is not an actual computer poweruser. I wouldn't see it being much different for VR devices. Unless maybe the head of IT in a company is hyped about that stuff.
I search npm <insert library here>, to bring me to official documentation.
Great to see a solo entrepreneur not being shy to take (upto) $1000/month. Too many founders are too cheap.
It would be rad if the camera was mounted behind the screen on a track that could move it to wherever the viewers eyes are
> Not that there's anything wrong with the astonishing breadth of functionality available in the NPM ecosystem

There are at least two things wrong. One is those things is missing standard functionality (eg, leftpad), and the other is a failure to maintain appropriate hubris (eg, is_even).
Actually the article says Hannah has "depression and anxiety". They mention bipolar briefly in the list of off-label uses for dopamine agonists so presumably wouldn't have mixed it up.

Though, it could have been misdiagnosed.
Employee equity is a rounding error compared to what founders and investors make. You’re talking about 2% of the company, max? That’s usually vested over four years, so the one year cliff means they’d get 0.5%.

They put a year of their life into making you rich. I would part ways amicably and be generous.

If you IPO, none of this will matter either way. So if you fire them early, it’s a needless risk.
Around 6.0 they broke the GUI for dark themes, now grey on white. Been struggling to read it for a couple of years now. Will it ever get fixed?
There are samples in tfa. Not everyone's taste I'm sure, but pretty impressive for a novice.
> Also, I don't understand why hex bits for drills are not a thing.

I haven’t attempted an IKEA build without my drill for many years.

Search for a quick change or rapid load bit adapter, and then grab any set of standard hex bits.
Right, that is very much fair enough then. I was thinking of Universal Basic Income. For which trials are done on a similar timeframe if I'm not mistaken.
Isn't the problem here that your decouple framework requires data X,Y, and Z in the message across the boundary, so you plumb that data through right near boundary where the request is made. But later on, you want to switch out a different framework, but that framework requires U, V, W, X, f(y), and Z. So even on your apps side of the boundary layer, you still formatted your code and data flow to support the single framework you started with.
"If you can't fire an employee because the vesting of their shares..."

That isn't what I wrote.

As others have noted (and I should have considered), pro-rata vesting is another option to consider.

Why those terms aren't standard is ... along with a number of other elements of vesting ... is something I don't fully understand.
"You're not wrong Walter, you're just an asshole"
Simple, run with JavaScript turned off and you won't ever see its message. (I never see them anymore.)

If one must insist on using JavaScript then make an exception for Wikipedia—deny all scripts on Wiki domains.

Problem solved.
Here's a scary thought: everyone who's ever gotten vaccinated against COVID will die. Eventually. Just like everyone else.

>war

inflation was way overshooting the historic trend line before the war

>an energy crisis, a food crisis, ammonia shortage, neon shortage

Aren't all these just downstream from the war?

>post-covid global tension on supply chains

If that was caused by covid, why was inflation muted during the initial outbreak? Why did inflation only spike starting around mid 2021? It seems more plausible that supply chain tensions were caused by too much money chasing too few goods, not that inflation was caused by "global tension on supply chains".
Wild guess: PhotoDraw 2000 + New Interface + AI. :-)

How far off target am I?

PhotoDraw 2000 was pretty fun back in the day. You could make metal chains in mere seconds! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZa7ODRAyxA&t=46s
> One of those (one of the first to join) has been an issue for quite a while

Focusing on the vesting issue is secondary to the fact that this employee should have been fired a while ago. Risking giving up a little equity is unlikely to be existentially risky but keeping distracted unmotivated and incompetent employees around definitely is.
> Anybody who lost their sense of taste or smell took months to recover that. Loss of smell or taste is almost 50% for Covid prior to Omicron. Even with Omicron, it's about 20%.

And yet, in more anecdata, everyone I know who had taste issues recovered them in much less than a month with no long-term impacts.
You could have received money, if you quit your job.
I read that carriers can't be bothered running RCS servers, so Google provides those for Android devices.
In my youth I had a poster that said something along the lines of:

Always made me associate TRS-80 with 1337 h4x0rs.
> Students break acceleration world record...for electric vehicles.

...that made the effort to submit to Guinness. In racing, established racing orgs are where racing records matter. 0-60 just isn't relevant in drag racing. Any optimum 1/4 mile run under 7s doesn't spend nearly as long as these students did dawdling along under 60 mph. NEDRA record 1/4 mile runs have been under 7 seconds for at least 10 years.

http://nedra.com/record_holders.html

The current fastest run ticked off 0-60 mph in under a second. The 60 foot time was over a second. That means they ticked off 0-60 mph in significantly less than 60 feet (~18m). Submitting that 0-60 time to Guinness would require lots of work and time, and wouldn't be relevant to competing or their sponsors.

https://insideevs.com/news/447378/video-custom-electric-moto...

So, this Guinness record is still easy pickings, as these things go. I'd bet nothing more than moving this run to proper sticky drag strip pavement instead of that grotty old runway would scrub off a tenth or two. Then better drag tires, drag optimized suspension, maybe all wheel drive, gearing optimization, weight reduction, weight placement optimization... and sooner or later Guinness is going to stop taking 0-60 mph submissions for safety reasons.

This is pretty dirty, you should have let them go a long time ago. Now you will destroy a bunch of your credibility if you do them dirty, your team will act like it's okay, but its not and you will lose more than you gain. I'm saying this from the perspective of an employee who has worked at a few small startups. Learn from your mistake.
Aww, you ruined it.
1. Kanye got what he deserved, I’ll say it a second time, because apparently I have to.

2. Kanye wasn’t “calling for death con 3”, nor did I ever claim that the truckers were? And since you want to get technical, you’re not even correct: he said he be “going death con 3” when he woke up. Kanye obviously alluding to an impending Twitter rant. Only a fool would misconstrue it otherwise, and if you think people want to ‘follow’ Kanye as a leader, I’ll remind you of his abysmal 2020 election results.

3. Honestly, the truckers got what they deserved too. The truckers were disrupting traffic and causing a nuisance to citizens with whom they had no quarrel. In reality. Kanye on the other hand, well, to quote Dave Chappelle: “Twitter’s not a real place.”

4. It’s a vote for Bitcoin because you can rest assured that the planet is full of people who would prefer to be unregulated assholes if given the choice.

5. > Banks can choose who they do business with and always have.

Weird thing to say, because you’re obviously agreeing with me, but it’s in a context where you’re trying to disagree? You lost me.
BookFinder4U is even more useful, as it is a superset of Amazon, eBay, AbeBooks, and a few others. Coverage is not limited to North America. (http://www.bookfinder4u.com/)
Exactly. It's why people can't tell the difference between a expensive wines and cheap wines and it's price and expectations that drive their preference more than anything. It's so subjective that even expert tasters can't judge wines consistently. One analysis of wine competitions found that medals were basically distributed at random.

I don't worry about expensive or fancy wines, I just try a bunch of everything and drink what tastes good to me. The less I can spend on something that tastes great and gets me pleasantly buzzed the better. Snobbery is a fools game.
FWIW, used books (and other items) are also sold through Amazon.

Either way, Amazon pales in comparison to the used bookstore I used to live nearby: McKay's Used Books in Manassas, VA.
The article does mention that correlation is not causation. But the fact that they are correlated is nonetheless encouraging.

It certainly makes towns prettier.

I love these TRS-80 submissions and if you'll forgive me I can't resist reposting an earlier comment...

My first computer was a second-hand "Trash 80" CoCo 2 [1].
The thing came with a couple cartridge-style games (Downland [2] and Sokoban), but to do anything more you had to learn to program. I still remember that old-book smell cracking open the aged parchment in my dog-eared copy of Getting Started With Extended Color Basic [3]. I was around 10 years old, and that summer I took it with me and read a few pages every morning on the bus to summer camp. I was such a nerd.

My thanks to Mr. Kemeny and Kurtz for bestowing this beautifully approachable language onto the world, even if your original vision was shamefully bastardized by the time I stumbled upon it.

I had an external 5¼" floppy drive nearly the size of a shoe-box, but got a bigger kick out of using the cassette recorder for storage since you could see it in action and hear the distinct squeal of your data (sounded something like a modem).

I recall planning my first UI's by meticulously coloring in squares on a paper grid.

Dad complained I should spend more time outside, and maybe he was right. But I grew up, published my first commercial software title, and turned that geeky interest into a fulfilling career.

One thing I gotta say, that TRS-80 still booted up faster than any PC I've owned since!
