Thank you for admitting that masks do cause accessibility and other problems, and as such have a severe cost associated with their use.

This brings us back to our cost/benefit analysis from earlier.

The repeated waves of infection in many regions when forced masking was in place show that the benefits of widespread everyday masking are minimal, and perhaps even non-existent.

Combined with the significant costs of masking, we can confidently conclude that masking is not effective, and therefore should not be considered to be a technique that works.
And these guesses are way off the mark. I think it was mostly that everyone smoked, which this article doesn't even mention-- very strange. I was actually heavier in the 80s, but then I never smoked.

And more chemicals today?? When I was a kid in the 60s we had lead on every surface, heavy smoke indoors and out, pesticides everywhere, plenty of plastic packaging, and all sorts of poisonous things around us that have since been banned. Judged by today's standards we should have all been dead.
I think it was partly the time and partly the community. The format probably didn’t have much to do with it.
A simulator like this would require a lot of simplifications: a table of template chemical reactions and thermochemical mixing rules which are bound to be wrong in edge cases. It doesn't take many reagents before you hit a combinatorial wall where the combination has never been tried in practice, and while it could be estimated with quantum mechanics in theory, that gets expensive.
I used to think technical competence was a desirable trait in a manager, but I'm starting to come around to the idea that technical competence doesn't really matter all that much and could even be a negative.

Instead, I feel that the most important trait in a manager is trusting the technical competence of his or her subordinates. The best managers I have ever had gave the team (and individuals) a direction to go in, and then sit back and let the employees work out how to solve the problem. They are always available to answer questions, facilitate communication, remove roadblocks, cut red tape, insulate the team from corporate politics, and provide resources to the team.

None of that requires technical skill, but loads of soft skills. I'll go so far as to say that having technical skill is often a detriment, as it is tempting for a manager to say, "I know how to solve this," and thus begins the slippery slope to micromanagement.
FTX offers leveraged products so they are borrowing assets from somewhere to fund these trades.

~2010 worked in Farringdon and this was our local club. Went in Fridays after the pub. Once took a holiday to cycle tour Romania, ran in to Romania's most famous DJ in a ski resort, and he told me his dream was to play there. Almost choked on my beer...
“Some of the most horrific sights I’ve ever seen kept playing over and over, but when I started using NightWare, they stopped,” says Guithues. “In the morning, the device will tell me it’s intervened 25 or 30 times through the night, and I never woke up once.

> Do exchanges in real finance even have long term customer deposits?

Not really. They used to! (A hundred+ years ago.) But we learned that an exchange blowing up is a hell of a lot worse than a bank or broker. So most systems segregate the functions. (It's also not great to have an exchange making markets and thereby having a vested directional interest.)
Most of it sounds fine outside of the "some public figures".

What it needs its clear standards and no whiff of Twitter endorsing the account holder.

Government accounts and corporate accounts are pretty straight forward. Business partners seems unavoidable. Some room for debate over "major" media outlets, but honestly it won't hurt to apply it to as small a media outlet as is practical. I would definitely not give it to individual journalists.

The public figures, though, could easily just go back to the same problems if they don't watch it.

You jest (I guess!), but good integration with a collaborative note taking tool is something no VC software does (well). We always open up a Hedgedox instance, but integration could automate timestamping, saving/mailing to participants afterwards, include a transcript.

Oh that’s disappointing. Looking through the blog post now it specifies console apps now - wonder if Web API support is coming later.
I think it's more that managers seek to maximize their career advantage by having the work done according to "their idea". Then the engineer is just a commodity resource implementing what they are told. And to the degree that this added constraint on the engineer does not fit with their experience or with what would work best (or at all), the engineer's productivity is lower. This is addressed by adding more engineers.
I never made any comments about FTX.
Yes, exactly.

This comment was downvoted into oblivion (I vouched it back from the dead), but I have no idea why. You hit the nail on the head.
I think the irony here is that OP _did_ do that anyway, he basically says he spent a year informing more and more management and others that the project was not on track. He played the game for a year, eventually got approval to make this report, and still half the people on here are going "well he didn't play the game long enough".

At the rate things were going, by the time OP "carefully" worked his way up on tactfully convincing everyone that the project was not on track it would have been release day.
I do hope wollsmoth reads that before continuing to provide his thoughts on the matter. Thank you for taking the time to inform those who may not be aware & I don't disagree with anything you wrote.
If a potential employer really thinks that about all Twitter employees, you don’t want to work there.

SV-style companies are going through a typical cycle where the money was cheap and flowed freely, and now it does not. So those companies are adjusting. Sure as rain, we will come full circle again, eventually.

In the meantime… Having lived in the Bay Area a few years, but having spent most of my life and most of my career outside of it, I can tell you that tech in general is not downsizing. It can seem that way if you are based in SV or in a VC-funded company.

“Boring businesses” are still hungry for good tech talent. Those companies might actually be profitable and even have a long track record of being profitable. Consider a short tour of duty to see what comes of some time at one of those companies.

As fair warning, these companies can be unfriendly to tech outsiders who charge in and think they know better how to run their businesses (see mention of long-term profits). So maybe that is where an idea of bias against Twitter employees comes from. But this is just about personal mindset. Most of these companies would very much like to bring on more tech talent with the right attitude to help them modernize.

Best of luck to all who are looking. Stay positive, and consider expanding your search horizon. Many industries have low-hanging fruit for people with the right skills, and you could make a real difference. It doesn’t mean you have to stay forever.
The defensive line is very long and it's going to be impossible to cover it with fire.

There's something very, very seriously wrong with the Russian military. Although that's really not a bad thing as far as Ukraine and the West are concerned.

I hope this works for a lot of veterans and people with PTSD. Could be a game changer for those afflicted.
Someone mentioned it would be valuable to non profits as well. Given the inclusion of “public figures” is it any different (in writing) than it was before? Which means we seem to be back at the same place of the devil is in the details.

I'm curious how they're doing this on the backend. If the "blue check field" will be changed to the official field or if they'll swap them out. Makes me wonder what happens if they miss some code paths. Could be weird if there is some conflation on the backend.
Actual chemistry simulations are still computationally unfeasible. In the "ten thousand atoms is a lot" territory.

So you could certainly make a game with hardcoded reaction paths for it, but capturing the actual scope and breadth of real chemistry just isn't really going to happen.

On the other hand you do raise a really good point about something which bugged me a lot when I was learning lab chemistry: getting the mechanical sensibility for what processes you need to do is hard and frankly IMO it's not taught particularly well. There would, I think, be a lot of value in a decent fidelity VR simulation of some of these processes just so you could get a sense of what the mechanical arrangement of things you need to do will actually be.

i.e. testing out a particular glassware and fluid path apparatus would have a lot of utility in making experimental work more structured and developing the intuition for what things should look like.

Everyone here is looking for ways to make unsolicited suggestions in a diplomatic way. Even with extra language this can be irritating to reply to. I’ve learned to first ask if there is anything I can do to help, rather than immediately making suggestions. Often times people are doing just fine working through a problem, and may want to communicate the status without receiving advice on how to solve it.

For interpersonal situations, people often just want to be heard without any advice being given. A simple “I hear what you’re going through and I’m here if you need anything” is way better than finding ways to immediately offer advice, but I believe this applies to professional situations as well.
I interviewed somewhere without a resume, because of a referral, but the CEO asked me what I did, so I started at the beginning without thinking... 12 years before I started there, I had worked at a rinky-dink ISP, and before that I did IT at a school district as a student worker.... guess who got to configure mail and manage the domains and own the GSuite account.

Twitter’s solution for ruining verification is another checkmark
> Binance was threatening to dump a huge amount of FTT tokens on the market. FTX has a big+vulnerable position in FTT. FTX asked Binance to sell them the tokens for a fixed price, so as not to crash the FTT token price. Binance declined

This makes absolutely no sense and is not how markets work. If FTX was actually willing to buy unlimited FTT at a given price, Binance could not have "crashed the price" by selling below that price — somebody would simply have bought at the Binance price and sold to FTT at their price.

What seems more likely is that FTX extended that offer only to a small portion of the tokens that Binance wanted to sell (to maintain the fiction of their price).
Why not simply include ID verification with Twitter Blue? It seems like the obvious thing to do because it adds a big incentive to pay for it if you were verified before. They've got 420,000 accounts already verified - that's $40m/year in revenue that's sitting there.

Why do nightmares exist? What other bodily function would you just turn off? I'm sure the body has vestigial processes, but why is it correct to assume nightmares are such a process?

> The russians decided to send in mechanized units because...

Because that is their doctrine, the rest is inconsequential. It's how they train to fight, how they are supposed to fight, what they produced to fight.

There is no infantry push in Russia doctrine, it is developed around crossing Europe in debilitating strikes. You push gaps with mechanized units, filtrate deep and leave town behind you, keeping the front moving and causing the enemy line to fragment, while infantryman behind deliver the siege to the cities as needed. It's built around being the aggressor, stocks deep and then consolidate.

What people see happening here it's just their doctrine playing out exactly as written.

It is quite outdated and it's receiving lot of attrition, but still.

Yup, I think this is what happened. And they claimed "it was for the good of the crypto ecosystem", which in part is true. But the reality if SBF aquired because he had to.
This is a great example of the value of avoiding extraneous adverbs. In the given examples, ‘just’ is never necessary, and avoiding its use avoids condescension.
The world is returning to poverty because we are running out of key resources, and the environment is becoming hostile to us, mostly as a result of greenhouse gases.

You should stop listening to loudmouths on social media, they are using the word Marxist wrong, and nobody has an agenda to destroy the world. It's not the left's science, it's science. Our economy is unsustainable, there are no two ways about it. We always put a big emphasis on measures like the GDP because they are comfortable, convenient, easy to work with.
"Maybe" isn't science and should not be the standard of how the FDA grants prescription power.

But if it is placebo, what it does mean is that what people with PTSD need is someone who gives a shit about them. And that is old news.

> How do I get started using Emacs, if I wanted to use this awesome-sounding tool, while still being friendly to the fact that I have to get stuff done and still need the tools I mentioned above?

Only use the new system on Friday afternoons or whenever your typical slow periods or lulls happen until you get used to it.

If you plan to customize your workflow and extend your system I recommend:

If you want more out of the box, but harder to debug and extend I'd recommend:

Would unions be more like protests or like corporations? I'm trying to figure out the underlying principle used to determine whether a group of people has rights or not.

Stripping unions of their rights might be a bit controversial. On the other hand, "collective representation" is essentially the definition of a union.

Crypto Crash Intensifies Amid Downfall of Industry's White Knight Bankman-Fried
If he does nothing, then eventually none of his employees will have a job.
Same. That's way worse. For technical problems where an obvious and easy solution comes to mind, I'm fine saying something like "just" and fine with having it said to me. I'm expecting to either hear why the obvious solution won't work (learning more about the problem) or, less likely, give them help by pointing out something easy they happened to not think of.

"I'm really struggling to set up external authorization for the /download endpoint."

"Why don't you just use @external on it?"

Hopefully leads to either

"This endpoint needs to...[extra constraints]."

"Ah, gotcha."

or, less likely

"There's an @external?"

"Yeah, let me show you."

There are some differences between this and questions like "Why don't you just go for a walk to stop feeling depressed?". Maybe the biggest difference is these tech solutions are not paradoxical. Someone's depression may be defined by their inability to do something like go for a walk and enjoy it. Suggesting they do that is not helpful.

The questions are also more sincere. Like, I literally want to know why you're not doing the easy solution. I'm actually assuming that there's a good reason, like some extra constraint. That's why am I asking "why not?" instead of speaking in the imperative.

There's also a critical difference of the offered solution being much easier than the one attempted, or very easy overall. I might say "Why don't you just sort it alphabetically?" but I wouldn't say "Why don't you just make a DSL?".

I guess it's just that I think it's okay to act like something is small when you really believe it is for the person you're speaking with.
Cointracker and Koinly both support tax reporting on swaps and liquidity providing on uniswap and many other dexes.
You are presupposing that Meta should be allowed to exist at its present scale and market share. I am not.
Yeah, this is bad advice.

For example, Postgres has fantastic "upsert" and data integrity checks that reduce round trips to the database, meaning they're incredibly fast and result in less-complex client code.
This is why "rubber duck debugging" works.

I've had good luck explaining any thorny technical problem to any inanimate object on my desk. Often times, the mere act of doing this makes me really pay attention to my assumptions and the information I have gathered.
