Then we have to account for the much reduced risk of that though. sure it can, but relative risk is important. Covid when vaccinated is far more likely to kill you than all possible combinations of the vaccine and whatever else.
Good question.

Is it intrinsic to digital currency that it be in an exchange, and convertible to dollars?

But it didn't go that way. If you want to trade/spend something that is in increments of tens of thousands of dollars, you have to have an exchange. Where all of the fraud, panic and crime happened. Because it was decentralized (no supervisory authority)
Unless you've been getting weekly PCR tests since the beginning of the pandemic, there's no way to reliably know that you haven't been infected. Many people experience asymptomatic infections.
Okay so let's be clear: you think it is wrong or unhelpful to speculate that race or sex may be a factor in what the op claims to be observing? Because "baiting?"

What do you mean by baiting? I read that as you trying to shame people for even discussing the possibility that racism or sexism is a factor. As if it is somehow wrong to discuss these things. If you had a different intent, please share it.

Yes, when opening Google Play I'm presented with Games, Apps and Books. Games are designed by psychologists to keep us engaged with unnatural colours, actions and injecting ourselves with dopamine every 30 seconds, and apps? Apps also contains games, but also sponsored content, like I don't remember for how long Disney+ ad was there... since April at least. Very interesting. The other software? All my installed apps have updates about at least twice per month, but I never notice anything changing. Bugs aren't fixed, performance isn't improved, but now my banking app can access my location. Old phones had no "dynamic software" updates, everything worked and never needed updates or upgrades, unless.

We have throwaway hardware that looks the same, made with throwaway software where updates make no difference. We have fewer choices now. It's just Android vs iPhone, both look the same and copy each other design and functionality, both in hardware and software. We had games that were hard and required some planning on paper and hardware that was interesting and unique.

Yes, the money can sit in a DAF almost forever, but the original donation or any proceeds from the DAF can not be used for anything BUT charitable purposes. The money WILL eventually end up put to work for a charitable purpose.

A DAF *IS* a non-profit itself. It's bound legally to only disperse the funds to other charitable purposes.

So your entire complaint is, the donor gets the tax write off the day they donate it to a DAF, but the funds in the DAF might take a while before getting put to work for a charitable purpose?

Why is that a bad/terrible thing?

Tesla is the largest maker of EV cars in the world.

Last quarter they were more profitable that GM, Ford and Toyota.

They are growing car production and revenues 50%, on average, for over a decade. Profits even faster.

On a PEG ratio Tesla stock is undervalue compared to companies that are growing profits much less than Tesla's 100% YoY growth last quarter (companies like Amazon).

There is no way to tell if this is right or wrong, we are not engineers at Twitter, and I suspect that no engineer there would dare to correct him. I'm pretty sure Twitter has an API gateway of some sort, it doesn't make sense that it's a batching issue.

But it doesn't matter who is right or wrong. The unprofessional atmosphere, the callousness, the one-upmanship is the problem. He is the CEO for God's sake. This is a PR nightmare. I know that it worked for Trump, but it isn't working even for him anymore.

I suppose it depends on how many hurdles you want to place in front of innovation.

I learned after driving a cab for nine years just how little I can live off of and if I cut out the luxuries (like hot water) it was surprisingly little.

Now suppose I were able to get people to pay me peanuts (through donations for the sake of the argument) to maintain some critical software because, you know, “someone has to do it and this guy will work for peanuts”, just how many luxuries am I expected to do without to comply with some overbearing regulation?
Proposed Russian "tactical" nuclear would be short range, low yield. Some 100 sqr km would be unhealthy for hewmans. Makes further military action impossible and freezes the situation for 100s of years.

This kind of weapon is abhorred by NATO. But now that Finland is part of the equation, it would be quite suitable. Finland is surrounded by wilderness. The very moment Russians starts to move military close to border, those areas could be conveniently cleansed with no loss of life, except some rats (and russians).

> To add to your point about resumes, people need to not underestimate the power of networking. Networking has been the key factor to my advancement for the last 3 jobs. It's just the way things are.

It's hard to overstate the importance of this. Without networking, your chances of landing the kind of job you _really_ want are vanishingly close to zero. Every single one of my civilian jobs has come about either through personal friendships ("hey bityard, my work is hiring and I'd like to work next to you") or due to name recognition, e.g. moving in and around the same groups of people that the hiring people are in. I have probably blindly fired off less than two dozen resumes in my decades-long career and while some resulted in an interview, none resulted in a hire.

For someone just starting out in their career, maybe blindly firing off 100 or 200 resumes for entry-level positions is the only option they have. But they should also be broadcasting their availability far and wide to friends, family, randos on the street, basically anyone that will listen. Local tech meetups. Online tech meetups. Career fairs, etc.

But if you've been in the industry for more than 2 or 3 years, and don't have a network that you can leverage in a job search, that is something you need to fix like immediately. That well must be filled BEFORE you need to drink from it.

I actually had a similar problem trying to park in a parking garage. I talked to some people working there (they were moving 'event day price' signs around). I asked if there was a kiosk or any other way to pay (other than by phone). They said there was not and said I just had to leave and find street parking.

This happened when I was trying to park near a place to get my phone fixed!
Please understand the law, once it's in a Foundation or DAF, you can't then send the money to corporations, only to charitable purposes. For a Foundation, it's more limited than that, as you have to spend the money to fulfill the foundations purpose for existing.
That is literally the stated justification for dei policies.

> Spoiler: a biologically incompatible branch of life discovered in the deep ocean starts to outcompete everything on land once it's brought to the surface, leading to catastrophic collapse of food production and civilization.

Isn't that also part of the backstory of Interstellar?
You miss the point.

Let's take as a given that there was discrimination in the past. Unless you have a time machine you can't go back and change that. Hiring more people of the discriminated-against group now benefits new workers of that group (who haven't been discriminated against because they haven't had jobs before) but that does nothing to rectify the past wrongs, it just creates new victims (those who lost out on jobs that they should have gotten.)

The fundamental problem here is that attempts to redress discrimination pretend that groups can be victims. Nope, victims are always individuals. Does killing a Hatfield bring back a McCoy?? (Note that the original implementation of affirmative action was needed to break the problem of the social contract against hiring blacks. That's long since been done, the program should have been dismantled 40 years ago.)

As for continuing discrimination against "women", look more carefully at the pattern--the "discrimination" is the result of having children. Taking time out of the labor market (or working fewer hours while still in the labor market) translates to less experience and thus a lower value. When you control for actual hours worked (do *not* have a "full time" category!!), actual years of experience (maternity leave is at best zero experience, likely negative experience as that's time not keeping current with changes) and actual position (no lumping similar categories--pediatrician pays less than cardiologist) almost all the supposed discrimination vanishes. Compare young, childless, degreed women and they're making *more* than their male counterparts.
> The vaccine doesn't stop transmission

That is utterly false!

If you don't get COVID because of the vaccine, then the vaccine stopped the transmission. Even if you get COVID, the chance you transmit COVID is reduced becuase the body spreads less. If you do get it, but your body will also clear it faster which is less time to transmit. Sure the above is 100% stop all transmission, but it still stops the majority.
Forgive the repetition (I've mentioned this on other threads about FTX and their balance sheets) but this doesn't seem to be widely reported or known for some reason:

1. FTX had no CFO [1]; and

2. Their accounting firm is on the Metaverse [2].

(1) is particularly shocking because its normally the CFO's experience and reputation that gives investors and customers confidence in published numbers (yes, there's that awkward trust element against that seems to be an anathema to Crypto Andys). Even if it's not a regulatory requirement, I"m honestly shocked that the investors (Sequoia, etc) didn't insist on an adult in the room so they could trust the financials.

Horrible for the customers. No sympathy for the investors. A giant fail by the financial press for not highlighting this issue earlier as it's a definite red flag.

…
During a period where there is a perceived shortage of new devs, existing dev teams still have to meet deadlines and move the ball, this forces streamlining of processes and thus reduces the immediate need for new team members. If someone on my team leaves and I need to back-fill engineering time on a process or app, and I can't back-fill quickly, what other choice do I have other than to reassess the entire process and change it so that it requires less commitment moving forward?
>It was no secret that SBF hated traditional finance.

That is quite odd. FTX was the very definition of traditional finance (with or without whatever regulations you may think is required). Maybe he was bullshitting you too?

Crypto is now infested with Wall Streeters and VCs trying to convert it into some grotesque form of the old system they are familiar with and failing catastrophically. In a few years decentralized DEXs will all but replace the centralized exchanges.

In a functional language, you don't have to worry about bits of code mutating your data. ;-) On the flip side, there's a lot of cognitive load that comes with functional languages, so while they do address the problem neatly...

I'd have to take a look at Virgil to appreciate your approach, but I'm always leery of implicit value vs. reference semantics tied to types (aside from the whole array fiasco, easily the ugliest part of Java's type system). So often the particular semantics you want are driven by the context of what you're doing, rather than the what you're doing it with.
I once lowered my hiring bar because I was desperate. I ended up with a few bad employees that slowed us down more than the ones that turned out good accelerated us. Not worth the tradeoff IMO.
Why waste the time?

The scam clearly worked without all the effort.
Also, myocarditis can be more or less severe, IIUC. The article links to this CDC presentation, and on slide 5 they characterize myocarditis associated with mRNA vaccination vs myocarditis associated with viral illness. The proportion that recover cardiac function, and the time to recover cardiac function are better in the mRNA case.

I watched one of my best friends choke on his own lungs and die of COVID last year. He'd be alive if he had gotten the vaccine.
I, probably with many others, didn't realize this could be the consequence of an EUA until you mentioned it here. Thank you.
Having some uncertainty around novel things seems reasonable. We were all uncertain around COVID and around new vaccines using a novel mechanism. People balanced those uncertainties differently. I took the course of asking people I generally trusted for their opinion and concluded that taking the vaccines (3 for me so far, plus a bout of naturally-acquired resistance via infection) was indicated. There were other doctors whom I knew before COVID was a thing who were recommending ivermectin. If that was your doctor, why wouldn't you believe them just like I believed the doctors that I had more association with?

My gut tells me "be skeptical of novel things, but balance that skepticism a bit by asking people whom you trust to have greater knowledge on the topic, ultimately making the best decision you can".
I would think any verified account worth buying on the grey market would be worth more than $8.
I think a good startup (I might even persue this idea) is a corporate-mentoring program that basically does code reviews w/ junior/mid-level team members esp - ones that maybe are having performance issues to go over code, or maybe even soft skills or productivity skills like communicating better or prioritizing and staying on scope.

The mentor would maybe take on 10 people in an org, and every other week go over some of their code 1:1 and offer suggestions, etc..

Basically Uber for Senior Devs (but only as mentors/training purposes).
