In India female foeticide was a big thing in the last 20-30 years. Effects of that are now evident with an excess male population. Wherever you go in India, there are more men than women visible.
West Coast imbalance is due to industries (tech, military, planes etc.). India probably because families didn't want daughters.
Even in the early 80s after huge interest rate hikes, YoY CPI inflation stayed above 2% (until the mid 80s).

Rather than modeling it as "the price increases happened in a short period of time and then went back to normal," I think it's more likely that it happened more spread out and persistently, and perhaps still is going on. It's not going to jump to zero after some given month
Can they do the job they were hired for? Because if someone has a good attitude, can write good enough code, and is willing to learn I can quickly teach them the Linux basics.

Like, if someone doesn't know how to chmod or how to set up a .zshrc, I can get them up and running in an afternoon.

These folks aren't clueless, they've just learned at a higher level of abstraction then you did. That's fine.
The state of open source software
Heck, I grew up in a village and I remember my family didn't have electricity when I was 6. Fast forward 25 years later, everyone there has fiber optic internet.
I like UI tests as the test are so thorough. You test the entire stack from database to webserver and final page render. Say you test a sign-up form. The next test logs into a mail account to check if the welcome email has arrived, checking the job scheduler, 3th party email service and if the link in the email works as intended. I don't mind a bit of brittleness given the large test surface e2e tests cover.
It's worth to note most airlines reduce row spacing way below what those chairs were designed for.

At the intended spacing this wouldn't be much of a problem.
I'm not a woman hater or pro-man.

Maybe because marriage isn't as beneficial as it was 50 years ago? Young people can't afford to buy a home and start a family. So why rush to get married and bring kids into the world. Women are working a lot more and having great careers they don't want to leave.

> Cars all look the same now because they need to achieve a certain industry wide...

Cars seem to be all the same color these days too. Unfortunately, I think it's not just engineering constraints that are giving us "blanding" but a type of corporate marketing bean-counter that minimizes risk by selling to the lowest common denominator demographic. Apparently that LCD likes metallic-grey cars.

I'm disappointed that marketers (and perhaps too the buying public) have become so risk-averse when it comes to styling.

> That iconic beauty and excellence was the province of rich white dudes—and can only be expanded by lowering our standards. And what a load of horseshit that is.

This feels like a stretch. And almost breaks what little interest I have here. :(

Also, why do folks always impart way more significance to logo/label than makes sense? I can get the desire to want to change. That is natural. The idea that all changes matter is silly, though. Especially to the degree this one will be talked about. Probably less vitriol and energy is put into the literal buildings of the institute.
> Not once in the article do they consider that some men simply don't want to get married.

I think it's a reasonable assumption that if men used to get married/desire marriage, but now don't, then something must have changed. "The hearts of men don't change in any age", as they say. Even if the changes in outcomes come as a result of changes in wants, people don't suddenly want something different for no reason.
Inflation is the change in the price level. The price level is not observable, so it needs to be estimated somehow. Inferring it from the prices "people care about" is ABSOLUTELY WRONG methodologically speaking.
> Actively choosing to do identifiable harm

No, it's actively choosing to not do identifiable harm. Whatever harm comes to patients when you are not there, not even an employee anymore, can in no way be blamed on you.

Why does nursing licensing exist? Probably in no small part to ensure a minimum standard of care. Therefore staying and cutting corners in violation of your licensing terms is the active choice to do identifiable harm. To stay and cut corners is allowing management to shift the blame on you.

I've been on the difficult side of this problem, where safety and people's lives are at stake. Management never says "cut corners". It's always "you're expected to get through the work load." If you ask them if you're supposed to cut corners to make it happen, you get greeted with silence. They will stonewall you on every corner. You can tell them it's impossible and they will just ignore you and repeat their "expectations".

They'll hang your job over your head. They'll tell you they will just get someone else to do it. They'll tell you they'll blackball you. It's a bluff. Any place that is cutting corners is already in dire straights. They can't fire you because they'd be in an even worse position. They can't find anyone else to do the job because they wouldn't be in this situation if they paid enough to hire enough people to do the job. They can't blackball you if they themselves become persona non grata because they were at the helm when a hospital had to shut down because they refused to pay enough for nurses.

The only play, as a bottom rung worker, is to not play at all. It's War Games and WOPR.

Quit and the situation gets resolved very quickly. The org is on its last legs. It's only life support is the people who bend over backwards to keep it running. One hospital guess down, it's nightly news. Two and it's a national emergency.
I've always been a proponent of open-sourcing libraries and smaller apps that aren't a core part of one's business. I don't do that much to be honest, I file issues and feature requests and on occasion, will form/fix/pr back upstream.

IMO is about scratching one's own itch first. That said, I'm not good at running a business, and have little motivation to do so. I like what I do, I'm paid pretty well to do it. In the end, that means I'll probably never be a multi-millionaire. If I didn't work for others, I do have a couple projects I'd like to work on, biggest of which would be one that has been tread so many times before.

In the end, it's a mix. Some are completely altruistic with their free time. Others are paid to work on floss as it brings recognition to a corporation, or scratches their own itches, collectively, but doesn't bring direct revenue. And some do want to be Entreprenurial, those are the ones that should think twice about fully open sourcing their core product(s).

Open source the tools and adjacent products, don't necessarily open source your business.

"Paramedic" means roughly the same thing in the US and UK. UK training standards are a bit higher, but in both cases they are professional roles, with ongoing training requirements, etc. They have a very similar scope of practice, both providing advanced level care.

In the US it's pretty common for fire departments to require EMT level training, with some folks then going on to get their Paramedic certification. Agencies that require everyone to be a paramedic are rare (but they do exist).
What a hot mess. Honestly Mastodon is quite nice and a viable alternative.

How to set inflation expectations - "Inflation shoots up like a rocket & floats down like a feather."
I only turn my camera on when we have a new team member to welcome or a very important meeting (perf reviews). Otherwise, I am faceless. Hasn't affected my career at all.
Agreed. The dollar sign goes before.
I have read that Greek physicians practiced human dissection, but that this practice was banned by Rome. Perhaps the Etruscans practiced it, or Roman physicians did despite the bans, or during periods when it wasn't banned.

FWIW, the article claims the bronze organs were used as votive offerings. This seems like the sort of practice that may have evolved as a replacement to earlier human sacrifice, with real organs being removed and used as offerings, which would give those people the experience needed to create anatomically accurate sculptures of human organs.
The US military takes this sort of thing into consideration for security clearances. You’re much less likely to sell state secrets if you have a family at home.

The expectation was tech is being juiced by cheap money and it was proven out.

None of the big tech CEOs except perhaps Cook, have presented a future vision to put people on. They’re making money with price increases and staff reductions. Tech deserves to be dumped on hard, as it was government funded socialism squandered.

They’re not superstars but typical middle managers. Being good with computers is not what it used to be in this economy.

We definitely don't use it more broadly (in the industry, anyway... the public certainly mixes them up at times). Paramedics are ALS level care providers in the US.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY! I have personally tested this on my Non-pixel Android 12 device and it works.
My findings:
- The exploit works even on first pwd input screen on boot. however, the filesystem is still encrypted and cannot be accessed by any means (ADB/MTP). launcher does not load fully. but settings and other things accesible from notification panel can be launched (BT/Hotspot etc). you can get list of installed apps and many other sensitive informations that are not stored in /data/media/0/.
- adb can be connected. shell can be launched but data partition is not accesible.
- mtp initializes but does not load.
I guess although one cannot access the user data, the ability to access/control other parts of system potentially exposes a huge attack surface.
I remember when it was $1 for almost 7 years, then went to $1.49. It hurt because now you had to feed 2 bills into machines that could barely take 1 reliably, and were always out of change.

How that didn't drive the price back down to $1 or up to $2 I'll never understand. It had to have increased labor on the parts of the vendors and decreased demand for the vendors at the same time. That's about the time I started just stocking a 6 pack or 2 liter (depending on which was cheaper per oz) in the fridge for the week, too, which drops the unit price.it also decreased the total volume of soft drinks that I bought.

I don't know how soft drinks can continue to increase in prices under that dynamic. My guess is that the majority of people just buy it and don't notice anything that costs less than $10 anymore, so convenience stores can get away with movie theater prices as long as they don't cross that trivial threshold. People will pay for convenience under $10.
You could just say: CPI is up 0.4% month-over-month. It gets reported.
The real canary in the coalmine was actually a movie from 1999 called "Enemy of the State."

The plot for the movie was actually based on an account from an NSA employee who tipped one of the producers or director (I forget which) of the mass surveillance the agency was involved in.

To me this movie is iconic just because it predicted events so vividly almost a quarter of a century ago.

>Actively trying to kill non combat civilians for the purpose of inciting fear to achieve political ends is terrorism.

Finally, you admitted that Israel is committing acts of terrorism, the sanity prevails.

Give me one example of that then. I see Israel taking great care to avoid civilian casualties. Hamas on the other hand fires rockets and mortars at residential areas. That latter is clearly terrorism. Show me an example like that from Israel - that would be rare. That's why they're not a terrorist state.

Your personal attacks are childish.

Software is written by people and organizations made of people.

Security issues are precisely because of that.

So let's focus on that, not on "iOS/MacOS is superior" because it is not (it is not free from flaws).
> Without jobs that can be lost or wives and children who could suffer, young, unmarried, unemployed men are poised to cause or be recruited to cause social and political trouble, Basu said. On the other hand, she said, “young women getting more educated and marrying later may yet turn out to be the harbingers of the modernization and social change in the country that seems to be otherwise slow in coming.”

Sounds like marriage is modern slavery for both
Yes, but I was talking specifically about framing your perception in a specific way.

Driving to work actually costs you something more like ~$30 in fuel and parking and ~$25 in owning the car ($55).
Biking to work costs you $0 in fuel and parking and ~$25 in owning the car that it sitting in your garage ($25).

Fuel is a small percentage of the cost in owning a car, and even the most insane parking costs get anywhere near car ownership costs.
This just sounds like you're prematurely optimizing for additional security screens getting added.

Maybe that's not on the table atm? Still odd that they took so long to change a couple method signatures and write a couple test cases
Sounds a lot like slot machines...
To me this is just a matter of scope for the abstraction you named "problem", because ultimately we can only solve one problem at a time, and everything we achieve is achieved incrementally.

Whether you explicitly break up your "problem" into smaller problems by organizing your workflow that way, or implicitly break it up by simply biting off bits as you work seems to be the difference. The former being more planned, with the latter requiring greater mental tracking and ad lib task management.

The greatest disadvantage regardless of how you work is task switching. If you're doing push-ups and sit-ups, it's easier to do 50 each x2 than 1 set of 2 each x 50. So if you include switching tasks as a task, you're doing 3 exercises, not 2, and your work becomes 150 instead of 100.
> One thing I learned was that new, individual, and fresh leadership psychology often brings new logos into being

It would be nice if they backed that up more.

However, the article does seem to try to address the connection between being not married and issues of employment and education.

I suspect the article is just a shallow bit of what might be actual information.

> As if some people think it's women's job to marry men to stop them being a menace to society.

The same argument is made for wealth transfers via taxes: pay up, or they might just take it, and it's cheaper and more efficient to codify wealth transfer instead of just letting it happen.

And you don't necessarily need men to get married to not be trouble makers. But you'll need them to have something to do. If that's not marriage, education or work, you better have entertainment or drugs available.

>especially nurses typically do so despite the working conditions.

This mentality is what's being exploited. And nurses are getting fed up.

They want to help people. But so much of the decision making is taking that away from them. Even the simple shit like bathing patients is being rushed or removed from them because they're too busy. Simple things like brushing a person's hair helps humanize them. At a certain point they're so overworked with terrible ratios that they can see all the inevitable near miss scenarios that have almost caused harm to patients or themselves/coworkers and without any support from the system to correct these issues they're giving up.

Again, they want to help, but they also can't repeatedly stand back and watch the train wreck in action. Many of them are saving themselves and exiting the profession because the mental and emotional toll they pay each shift is becoming too much.

Fun fact: Kurt Vonnegut once invented a board game, as was revealed in one of his letters [1]. This was discussed on HN when it came to light [2]. TL;DR: The game was called General headquarters, ostensibly a war game, but very abstract, almost chess like. Vonnegut tinkered a lot with the concept and rules so there is no known definitive version of the game. Some board gamers made an effort to go through his papers to but were unsuccessful or have nothing to report [3]. The game was never published.

As someone who use to drink a lot of coke and quit.. this is very true here (Ontario, Canada) as well.

I remember buying 2L bottles for $0.99 on a regular basis (they often had sales). I don't drink it anymore (one month and counting) but i do check the prices weekly out of habit and never see it below $2.29/2L now?

I actually just checked and it has gone up in price once again, now $2.49/2L

Crazy.
