> So the author was “prescribed” a cocktail of 5 supplements, found they could eat more protein afterward, and then assumed that Boswelia was the solution? Did I miss something, or did they just assume 1 of the 5 supplements was the solution?

The author isn’t explicit, but it seems like the pills were prescribed over a period of time, possible separately, possibly overlapping. The author describes using a spreadsheet up correlate which pills coincided with what dietary changes and identifying it that way. So it wasn’t an assumption, but it wasn’t definite either until it was properly tested.

> The author doesn’t even seem to realize that Boswelia is a notable anti-microbial

The author explains that they researched Boswelia and it’s mechanisms of action, so while they don’t explain everything they know about it in the article, assuming they don’t know basic facts about it seems unreasonable.

What exactly is unresolved? You want to convince others eating meat is immoral but feel that your meat eating past removes any standing you have to do that? Why should the general argument be diminished because of one persons behavior? If you were trying to convince me, that wouldn’t matter for me personally.
Amazing question and I am sorry this is a rushed response.

For me, work satisfaction comes down to: am I solving important problems? Am I growing / maturing through the work I am doing (ie is it challenging me in the right way)? Do I like and respect the people I work with? Am I valued and rewarded for what I do?

For me these are the things that matter and I've been lucky on these dimensions across my career.

So maybe first question to yourself is - what are the dimensions you care about? They may have overlap with mine or not.

Second question, of the dimensions you care about, which ones are you not satisfied with in your current role.

Third question, what are steps you can do to improve those dimensions?

I think such framework can be helpful. I'll come back and reply more later if this strikes a chord.
When my wife was pregnant we purchased very nice bed with eco matress in it and all sort of development toys attached to it. When our child reached a few months we tried to get him sleep over there but after a few days resigned (damn british floors making noises when you walk on them...) Plus I'm a sleep walker (very mild but still) so when we had our first child I opted to sleep in living room while my wife had our child with her at night. Kids have no problems sleeping in their beds now, though it requires discipline in applying daily routine, otherwise sleep time can slip a lot...
But then attempts at supplementing that basic income with additional income -- i.e., gainful (self-)employment -- won't include being an author or artist. People wanting to do those things would be incentivised to do other things instead. People interested in living on exclusively the basic income while watching most other people live on that plus optional income would be few, I think.

You’re not the only one, but that doesn’t make it crazy.

There’s a lot of confidential data stored on S3. This data is intermingled with other confidential data from lots of other companies at the storage layer. But encryption and proper access controls mitigate the risks you’ve described.

As with anything it’s a judgement call. I trust AWS to implement this correctly, and they send out all the correct signals to back this up. 1Password does as well. However lastpass never has, and so it would be a poor call to use their cloud service.
Apple Sued Alleging Racial Bias Against Minorities on Watch's Blood Oximeter
Thanks for the link it is quite informative. With Spanish at 24 weeks and French at 30 it's probably what I'd expect given the comments of those who've studied Spanish. Similarity, German at 36 weeks is clearly more difficult to learn, and it bears out both my own experience and that of shankr.

Your comment about Norwegian is interesting. I've no knowledge of Norwegian but on more than one occasion I've been watching a subtitled Norwegian movie on TV only to be startled suddenly when I've understood a phrase or two (it's as if the movie had dropped into English for a second or two), clearly quite a number of the words are the same as in English, so too the language's structure.

Re Dutch, I've been in the Netherlands on many occasions and I've found the language has many similarities with German but there are many gotchas too. Many nouns are very similar but some common ones that one would expect to be the same as German are very different. As for pronunciation, that's something that I'd never really attempt (nor was it necessary as so many Dutch spoke excellent English).

Years ago, I had a Dutch girlfriend who came from The Hague. When she was living there she worked in a secretarial capacity for the Dutch Government. She spoke often about the great importance of using correct and very precise Dutch at important levels of government, here correct usage was much more important than the equivalent situation in the anglophone world (the use of correct Dutch is an important indicator of both one's education and status). Incidentally, she spoke impeccable English, so too her German.

PS: Interesting factoid, the Dutch equivalent of the OED, Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal, is the largest dictionary in the world (bigger than the OED): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woordenboek_der_Nederlandsche_....
Sometimes the reason a baby cries is literally the unmet need for sleep - they are very tired, feel awful because of that, and cry. And then they can't fall asleep easily because they're cranky about being too tired.
Perhaps they have a family back home literally starving and it's a sacrifice at the time they think they're willing to take to feed their family and send money home. They're desperate and willing to let a lot of things happen you and I might not be.

They're also in another country that's highly male power oriented, probably talking to a male head of a household, potentially to someone wealthy and even powerful. Meanwhile you may be significantly smaller, may be female (this isn't meant as an insult... just that you may have less muscular mass/strength), and are in a country where someone may claim you stole your passport from their possession and they may literally cut your hands off, where the authorities may even agree with this should you go to them. Or, at the very least, they may no longer sponsor you and you may go home to your starving family with few other options. Some may argue that means the option you had was better, I think it's an argument to promote modern slavery and exploitation.

My situation and I suspect yours are not remotely the same to these folks. If someone snatched my passport, I'm a fairly good sized and a reasonably strong male to muscle myself in (I also have a concealed carry permit, so I have a weapon should I need it). I have several more explicit rights and resources at my disposal, I have a government that issued my passport that will look at it say it's clearly my passport. My stance in such a situation is significantly different, assuming it happened here in the US.

Meanwhile you have examples like Britney Griner who had similar advantages to me, arguably even more given her fame, and even she was detained and at the mercy of the Russian government where we literally had folks like Tony Blinken bartering a hostage exchange for her return. I'm not sure that would be the case if I was detained in Russia on similar charges (then again I probably wouldn't have been targeted as readily, either). The power dynamics in these situations aren't so dry cut but I assure you, these maids have very little power and rights. I recently had a layover in Qatar and even I was a bit weary of that--I tend to like to have layovers in more progressive countries where I'm less likely to deal with some abusive government.
Thanks for chiming in!

Although I appreciate your detailed walkthrough of Inngest (sounds amazing), I wonder if it is the right fit for us.

One of our guiding product principles is to always build framework agnostic solutions, allowing our users to choose the best tools and providers for their needs. We do this by creating abstractions for each functional area of our domain and element of the stack.

In the context of events infrastructure, developers should be able to use Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka, and even Inngest interchangeably.

I would love to hear more about your experience with CDC. As far as I understand, this is an alternative to simply polling the outboxes. Will shoot you an email :)

Your question shows a shallowness of thinking. What is a book? Did you come up with 100% of the words in the book? If not, are you tracking down and compensating all the people who invented the words you used (or their ancestors?). What about the letters? Let's talk about the machinery you used to print the book. Are you providing a "royalty" to the printing press manufacturer?

It's very clear to some of us this stuff is already truly necessary, and the trajectory of how the situation is evolving is not looking very nice at all.

So enjoy the locally optimal time and safety you're able to get out of it, but please consider the global downsides of pushing the public perception in the wrong direction.

Come to think, the situation is rather similar to enjoying the conveniences of modern, energetically wasteful life without considering the climate problems this will cause for future you or future generations.
Consider the possibility that it's you. Ask: Is it the industry, the company, the department, the city I'm in, or is it something in me? We all have a bit of a blind spot when it comes to ourselves.

In my case it's largely, but not entirely, me. No matter where I go or what I do, the biggest problem will still be there.

Whatever the answer is in your situation will narrow things down.

I sure am -- it would be sufficient for them to suspend the ability to make more purchases until the account is manually reviewed. There's absolutely no need to suspend the account entirely.
> "I used to work for a large company trying to fill the void [huge gap in the market for good aviation scheduling software], and our software was damn good too. SW was one of the airlines interested, we would demo it exactly like the scenario today, but it was "too expensive" and they stayed on their homebuilt stuff."

This is a common situation in any industry. A company has a solution it self-developed in its infancy to support itself, and as it grows, it comes to rely very heavily on this software. At a certain point, everyone involved with the software -- from the developers to the users to the customers -- knows that it is not on par with third-party software developed by a team dedicated to all of its potential use-cases and pitfalls, but it is very difficult for the business to replace it because the ongoing cost is a relatively low maintenance cost, and the replacement cost is a one-time, relatively high purchase fee (with, usually, a similar if not higher ongoing maintenance cost). So the immediate reaction is to stay with the low ongoing cost, even though everyone "knows" that the long-term benefits of the third-party solution far outweigh the financial savings of keeping the in-house solution, whether those benefits might be avoiding a national week-long service outage or something simpler, like the ability for staff to get more done in other areas of the company that need attention when getting larger.

I have been there. It can be very difficult to make the financial case when the future benefits are somewhat speculative or intangible. Accountants tend to devalue those benefits, relative to the hard numbers they already have. It does not help that system replacement projects often go over budget and introduce other problems that cost more money. Replacing home-grown systems is hard because they are not just software replacements; they typically also require reworking business processes.

This is a society set up for this sort of thing. You are physically isolated both at the home level and the community level. There is nobody you can run to. It is a physical taking of your passport. Your desire to get it back or any words you might have in you don't change the fact that your passport is gone and you are isolated.

There is a "breaking" period for most of these workers where they are demoralized as well.
I think it is worth mentioning that, a priori, there is nothing wrong with having something to hide and wanting to protect it.

If Spain doesn’t know that it is occurring there isn’t anything they can do. If Spain does know that it’s occurring they can ban products or fine/jail the manufacturer. As an example (and not one I largely agree with) if Nike is using child labor in a sweatshop to build shoes, Nike has a HQ in the US, the executives and corporate workers live in the US, and they import products to the US. Enough said there. That’s strictly a failure of the US government to regulate and enforce regulations. Nike may be morally apprehensive, but like a parent, you are responsible for your child.

On the other end if a country is engaging in slavery or various derivatives of it, it’s still the fault of that government for allowing slavery to take place. If it’s a failed state then we have an obligation to not trade with that state, or perhaps even engage in nation building activities in an extreme case.

There are always things we can do. We simply choose not to as a people and by extension as a government. Unfortunately human nature and cognitive dissonance play a leading role in this and they are very, very good actors on the stage.

He may create a renting service. Recently on a few devcons I saw a retro-corner. It was just a bunch of few popular machines like early apple, c64 and few other machines. You can go there, play with the machines - there where a few games loaded there, that's it. It will require more work and may be dangerous to the hardware (transport) but probably there is some demand for such services.

More demanding thing to do would be to create a kit for hobbyists. For example I never heard of IBM 8086 DIY clone available in Europe. The market is very niche and would require some work (ordering printed circuit boards; handling customers). Not sure if it benefit would be worth the costs - most people that are doing those kit's usually stops after a few years.

The last option would be to write a book about one particular machine, with schematic and stuff. Probably there would be some licensing issues. I would gladly buy a book that described working on IBM 8086 in all technical details. Currently such knowledge is distributed among old IBM manuals and obscure PC emulation forums.

>>Record sales, best and reliable charging network, and easy customer maintenance

"Record sales" are in the past. Some markets Tesla is already declining. Other carmakers either have or are about to introduce very competing products. It is easy to lead sales with few competent competitors. Not so much when other teams take to the field, with their advantages.

"Best and reliable charging network" is still a solid advantage, but how durable as standardized charging stations come online rapidly?

"Easy customer maintenance" is questionable. It seems more like if you get lucky and get a good car it's low maintenance, but if you need maintenance, good luck getting anything resembling competent and timely repairs, even under warranty. The continuous drumbeat of horror stories every week may just be the press making noise of rare events, but it is still there, and certainly enough to give potential buyers cause to look elsewhere. (N=2, but we were seriously looking at Tesla for a next car, but won't be buying one until they show serious evidence of a solid service network; multiple other mfgrs are far ahead on the list, because they have decades-old service networks and know how to run them.)

My moral compass has always been to pirate a product, then pay the studios/studio partners once I have a copy. It ensures I'm happy and the original authors get profit, at the detriment of intermediaries. Sometimes you can't pay the studios directly, so things like a Crunchyroll subscription covers my anime pirating, even though I could never use their product for watching anything.

Is it terribly evil? I'm not sure. But I do know it aligns incentives for me to buy stuff and for creators to create stuff.
"Probably more to do with stereotypes of vegans themselves - ie. condescending, arrogant, self-righteous hippies."

I have met several vegans, and they are not condescending, arrogant etc.. To me, they are the good people who cares about environment, climate, and morals. So, imo vegans who are condescending, arrogants, self-righteous hippes represent minority of populations. People are just making a broad generalizations, which is not a good idea.

That being said I agree with you, many people associate vegans with condescending ... But, this applies every other matter like climate change, slavery. In fact my neighbor views climate activists as condesending, arrogant and self-righteous hippes. Those neighbor thinks climate activists doesn't deserve to light up their house because electricity consumes fossil fuels ....

Lastly, dairy and meat industry have put so much money, vegans will definitely look bad in TV, social media etc.. In fact, my uncle think all vegans are malnourished.
