Sounds like simple homeostasis to me.

If it gets colder out, the thermostat turns up the heat, eh?

In any event, nearly a century ago Wilhelm Reich discovered the fundamental psychological drive behind fascism, to wit: sexual repression.

> Reich argued that the reason why German fascism (i.e., Nazism) was chosen over communism was that of increased sexual repression in Germany – as opposed to the somewhat more liberal (post-revolutionary) Russia. As children, members of the (German) proletariat learned from their parents to suppress nearly all sexual desire and – instead – expend the repressed energy into authoritarian idealism.[2] Hence, in adults, any rebellious and sexual impulses experienced would cause fundamental anxiety and – therefore, instead – social control is used to reduce anxiety. Fear of revolt, as well as fear of sexuality, were thus "anchored" in the 'character structure' of the masses (the majority). This influenced the irrationality of the 'people' and allowed (irrational) 'populistic' ideology to flourish

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mass_Psychology_of_Fascism

That's why people become fascists: they can't get (well) laid.

Remember when they made it illegal to get sex on (e.g.) Craigslist? Notice how you can show people getting murdered and tortured on TV but you can't show a boob or a penis? (Unless it's Game of Thrones.) Notice how they want to control sex and reproduction of other people? But they can't control their own sex lives? It's all due to messed up sexual repression.

The fundamental solution is, as Dr. Ruth always said: we just need to have better sex.
The thing with outsourcing is, the vendor will themselves set up shop wherever the customer wants. In this case all the chinese companies are simply setting up plants in India and Vietnam, so they end up not losing any business in the short term. Same thing happens with software. All of the India consulting firms set up shop all over the world, for example Mexico to provide similar time zones to their US customers yet reduce costs. The customer gets to say we are not relying on country X and the vendor still has that contract.
Python is easier to use if you come from a C/C++ style coding background.
> One email sent by the re-election campaign of Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) lists its sender as “Reservation Confirmation,” with the subject line “FLIGHT NUMBER: 8341.” The message itself states the former president has “invited you to join him for a private dinner at Mar-a-Lago!”

I get these types of emails all of the time. I had no idea they were even legitimately from Republican fundraisers - I thought these were pure scammers trying to impersonate them! Wow, so bad.

Clearly, this is a dumb lawsuit that has no merit whatsoever. However, the goal is not to get emails delivered, it's so these "expert" staffers can turn around and say "see, we're not bad at our job. We're victims!"

> If the Democrats were doing this, Fox News would be having a field day about this kind of ridiculousness.

Although, I really don't love this rhetoric. No one reading this article watches Fox News. But they almost certainly do cover all sort of "dumb" lawsuits that Democrats file. Why not just stick to the merits of this case and not write about the "meta".
Resume manipulation is actually more common than you think if you go through a 3rd party recruiter, the ones that cold call you for jobs.

They usually strip the content from it and drop it into a container resume that has their details so that they get credit from the hire I assume. lol. That being said, whatever the poster was doing to stop the resume from being edited is moot. They will just copy the content from the PDF and paste it into a new one.
If you think much about the different platforms, it makes perfect sense that there are specific and varied requirements. Presumably they're pretty flexible about who flies a C-5, considering it's big enough to carry Chinooks or M-1 tanks [0].

> The whole point of currency is to use it. If you are buying a currency to hold on to it, then it is a terrible currency and there is a disincentive to use it as one, thus making it useful only for speculation.

Tell that to anyone who saves money for any purpose. They may not literally hold USD in their private Fed account or as cash under a pillow, but they are nonetheless storing dollars (as bonds, money markets, savings accounts, etc).
It is also a proprietary connector, which contributes to waste by virtue of not being able to reuse cables from other devices.

> Strelzow suggested doctors could ask patients to give up marijuana for a period of time, as they do with tobacco smokers.

As a former nicotine addict, the idea of any serious nicotine addict avoiding tobacco for "a period of time" is laughably naïve. Unless that period of time is less than a few hours.

Tell HN: Covid Boosters – An Anecdata Study
My partner (27 White F) and I (31 White M) engaged in an experiment. We both received the vaccine at the exact same time in 2021. However, she proceeded to get her boosters including the latest while I did not. We are both healthy young adults with normal BMI. We took the same supplements: daily vitamin, fish oil. We ate the same food. We shared the same space.

Note there are known discrepancies between males and females[0], so treat this anecdata as anecdata.

Recently, my brother--who was vaccinated and had COVID (delta) once before but no booster--visited while he was floridly positive. By floridly positive, I mean he was able to trigger a rapid test.

After 3 days of exposure, both my partner and I developed COVID that was only detectable by PCR.

On day 4, I developed a high fever (102), soar throat, cough, congestion. I was then shedding enough virus to trigger a rapid test. My brothers symptoms resolved, he no longer triggered a rapid test. My partner did not have any symptoms or trigger a rapid test. I took an Advil.

On day 5, my fever continued although more mildly, soar throat, cough, congestion continued. I was still able to trigger a raid test. My partner complained of a scratchy throat but did not trigger a rapid test.

On day 6, I no longer had a fever only a mild sore throat and congestion. I was able to trigger a rapid test. My partner did not have any symptoms or trigger a rapid test.

It's day 7, my symptoms have resolved and I was no longer able to trigger a rapid test. My partner? You guessed it: nada.

Note, my partner continued to cohabit with me through this period as if nothing was different. We shared the same bed, we shared the same cups, she give me kisses--you know everything you're absolutely not supposed to do when you're with someone who has COVID, but she never shed enough virus to trigger a rapid test and never developed symptoms of note.

Conclusion: Boosters appear to reduce or even eliminate COVID symptoms. Boosters also appear to reduce virus shedding as evidenced by the rapid test results.

Disclaimer: There's apparently some risk that the virus mutates in one person and reinfects the other. So maybe don't try this at home?

I highly doubt that.

The whole point of eBPF is that it's a limited subset of an execution environment that not only provides a memory safe environment, but just as crucially all eBPF programs are guaranteed to terminate.

It's not a general purpose computation environment in a strict sense.
Yes that's right. In fact, Kotlin really works well with the IDE. But they didn't spend as much time in creating a language with a good and sound theoretical foundation. This works in the short time but shows its flaws later. Java is a bit better here (but quite slow though).

So yeah, I can see Java potentially overtaking Kotlin.
> Greek olive oil is considered the best in the world and doesn't suffer from Mafia infiltration which is a huge problem in Italy

The current life expectancy for Greece in 2022 is 82.64 years. The current life expectancy for Italy in 2022 is 83.86 years. Clearly, Italian olive oil reduces mortality for 1 year, 3 months, 25 days, 4 hours and 48 minutes longer than Greek olive oil. And since Greek civilization had at least a few hundred years longer than Italian civilization at perfecting olive oil's mortality reduction, we can assume that given the same amount of time, Italian olive oil will always reduce mortality more than Greek olive oil.

The problem is, they interview well and start off performing to expectations, but then _something_ happens and the agreed hours (which is basically how all “individual” IT contracts are negotiated and paid in the UK) are just not being worked, stuff doesn’t get delivered on agreed timescales, etc.

I'm sure it's a mix of both. Yes, there's a ton of home insurance lawsuits here, and yes, the amount of fraud here is mind-boggling.

However, the rapid rise in sea level and the fact that the state legislature is bound by law to not discuss it at all is also a factor. South Florida's coasts will be uninhabitable within 50 years, and if I'm an insurer, that's also on my mind.
So it's in line with chewing fingernails, eating chalk, blowing bubbles in bubblegum, and "habits".

Are you replaceable? Do you own any significant part of code? If you are there for a long time, and company has high turn over, you may have an advantage.

There is no point to negotiate, or to sue them.

Start job seeking ASAP. Do not quit, but work less hard. Insert delays into your responses. Before you commit code, take 30 minutes to study some subject or seek job.

Drop productivity, but no engagement (that is metric that matters). Still answer client calls at 4 am, pretend you work 12 hours a day etc... They will shout at you for a while, but after couple of sprints, requirements will adjust and be less demanding.

Pre-prints should be avoided for any study that has a political bent (even if the authors don't intend it to).

Pre-prints are fine for 99% of papers, because even if they are controversial they don't have a lot of reach. It is just a way for scientists to stake claims while undergoing review, which can take awhile.

For papers like these, traditional review is important because it can temper a lot of the more biased or political statements in the paper or help remove some of the more sketchy results/conclusions. It is far far from perfect, but it is better than nothing.

As I said above. The time pressure for covid is over. There is no reason to not undergo peer-review first for papers like these.

No more guilty than the rich people depriving them of wealth.
Stoners, in the US at least, view tobacco as disgusting and look down on other stoners who use it, which is really ironic given the stigma that surrounded (surrounds?) smoking weed.

Though people still roll “spliffs” which is a mix of tobacco and weed, but the people that do that are few and far in between. Though people do roll “blunts” and “Woods”, which is basically a gas station cigarillo (swisher, Blackwood, etc) that’s opened up to let out the tobacco and weed is put in there instead, but the wrapper itself is either tobacco leaf or very close it—and this is a much more popular option, but the quantity of the tobacco smoked is as thin as the wrapper itself and it’s also more extravagant than a joint or using a bong.

In addition to the market turn, the IPO was a bit of an odd choice to begin with. Conde Nast, a large media company, owns Reddit and treats it like a media distribution channel, not a rocket-ship tech company. They were never IPOing to grow - it was basically Conde Nast saying "we think this is the best price we're ever gonna get for this asset."

The IPO goes away when the independent cash value of the company dropped below the business value of the distribution channel.
David Patterson Speech on RISC at Draper Prize
I might agree with your general thought pattern here, but I suspect that those who are diagnosed with marijuana dependence are not representative of the population of daily marijuana users. Self censorship is a problem in other lines of research too, it’s not just street drugs. People don’t accurately self report diet, alcohol consumption, cigarette use, domestic violence etc… Science can’t get at certain things, and we have to deal with that reality. Truth is much bigger than the science of the day, and science doesn’t benefit from being overhyped.
Aw, for what it's worth I (and I think GP) like it, but I'll take your word that trouble has occured~
Tangentially related, but is anyone else's brain not particularly tricked by these types of current deepfakes?

Deepfakes map a different face onto a placeholder body, but often the placeholder body and the movements of the body are not really convincing to me. It looks more like a celebrity mask on a different person. Very uncanny valley to me.

I'm not suggesting that deepfakes won't keep improving or aren't a real problem. And maybe this is just about my own (lack of?) ability to recognize faces. But it is something I think about often when I read these stories and I wonder if it is just me.

For example, the header image in the story of "Elon Musk" tied up doesn't look anything like Elon to me. It looks like a random neighbor/co-worker who maybe has a resemblance to him. The age/weight/hair just aren't that close to the real thing.

Is there any data for this? TBH, It doesn't pass the smell-test for me. Apple has a tiny product range, meanwhile companies like Samsung sell everything from chips, screens, and other components, to phones, laptops, tvs, etc, etc. Or even Dell, which has a massive product range; Our company purchased a ton of hardware from them during covid with no lead time issues - at-least on the things we wanted.
From looking at the code there isn't much to screenshot. It doesn't seem to add decorations to the windows, just allows sizing and positioning. So a screenshot would show some windows from other applications without a frame. All value is in the source code showing principles.

The last "tech" interview I had was in 2007, with my current employer. It was not an algorithmic interview, but rather a deep dive into how much I knew about SQL (which was a critical part of my position at that time), and a bit of general web knowledge. I definitely hit a point where I said "well, I don't know," but managed to get the job anyway.

I had two previous "tech" interviews prior to that. The first was for a Perl shop. All Perl-specific questions, and the interviewer even gave me a copy of the Camel Book to thumb through if necessary. The second was for an MS-based web shop. They sat me down at a computer and told me write a relatively simple C#-based CRUD app. I was allowed to Google whatever I needed. The Perl interview was fairly challenging (I knew parts of the language, but was not an expert), the C# one not so much, but I'm sure it weeded out a lot of applicants.

I've also had three other jobs where there was not a "tech" interview at all, mostly just chatting about projects and whatnot.
