I loathed these visits when I had to do primary care. I understand the patient's position and don't hold that against them but can we just decide as a society to let people take occasional sick days and stop wasting everyone's time with short-term sick notes, especially as these requirements disproportionately affect low SES individuals.

I'm sure someone's studied it but I would confidently bet this song and dance costs society more than the supposed malingering it is preventing.

> Now a doctor's note seems to be a reasonable ask, but have you ever tried to get one? Start with limited transportation and insurance, then get into the doctor's office and ask. I think I've made 3-4 requests and at least two, I was refused any excuse.

Is this common? I perform procedures sometimes and most of the things I do require no time off / limitations so I don't get asked a lot but I've been noticing patients seem increasingly awkward when asking for a sick note and go into a long story trying to justify the request. Haven't been sure why as I sure as shit wouldn't want to work the day after I had a biopsy but your experience provides some context.

Personally, I have an extremely low threshold to write a 2-3 day note if someone wants one which is how I was taught in medical school, I assumed this was how most physicians practiced.

Unless someone is a frequent flier asking for sick notes every week (without an appropriate reason) I wonder where the physician hesitancy is coming from, it's incredibly easy to medicolegally justify a short leave < 7 days.

Edit: Checked Cochrane out of curiosity and was surprised to see they had a review on this topic with (unsurprisingly) "very low certainty" evidence.

For self-certification < 3 days 2 studies reported an increase in work time lost of 0.54 and 1.38 days/person-year. On the other hand increasing self-certification to 50 days or 1 year had decreased impact on time off (granted it seems they only counted days off due to longer absences).

Even if these numbers are accurate for < 3 days (ignoring all the methodological flaws pointed out in the Cochrane review) this is already such a minuscule effect before factoring in the increased spread of illness, economic impact and burden on the system it's barely worth discussing.

Honestly, even assuming the worst that this is malingering for 1 day/year I feel like we're better off as a society just calling it a "wellness day" and moving on.

You’re projecting. Neither of them made any judgement about the quality of the article other than getting the name wrong annoyed them.

I think there’s a logical fallacy for that.

They did raise prices.

Yes. Same hours but nosediving pay because we now have an infinite amount of deeply indebted doctors fresh off medical school competing for the same jobs. Wages are literally decreasing year upon year for the average brazilian medic. Workload is also increasing because healthcare managers are starting to interfere more and more in patient care. They want 10 minute consults.
That is fine, it is best to take a break from travel fatigue.

Just don’t travel.
I think if you are out 2 weeks, requiring some official documentation is reasonable.
It's not just marketing emails. I get invoices, quotes, proposals, contracts, dating site messages, all sort of things. None of those designers / sysadmins / owners apparently feel email should be verified before sending that stuff. Why bother with verification emails then? I haven't a clue.
Self driving hype and investment got ahead of the tech.
A funny story about Seven Cities of Gold. My friend and I both had a copy, no manual. The "food" counter showed how many days left before starvation. I was a calculated number based on how many soldiers and food units you had.

My friend showed me how to get more food. Just stand in a village and let the natives attack. The food counter would rise. I had to explain it to him that is was rising because his soldier count was decreasing. Once he realized that, he had to restart.
In the corporate world it's routine for employers to cover travel expenses for job applicants coming to interviews that farther than driving distance. Did you ask about that? Sometimes if you don't ask, you don't get.

It’s really not. It’s money. A lost employee that you still have to pay for is a huge expense.

Most companies costs are dominated by labor costs so anything that could be gamed there that would drive up that cost is scrutinized significantly.
> HN is heavily moderated by smart people

I don’t think it’s as moderated as you’re saying.

I would say, on the other hand, that the average comment is much more thoughtful, in-depth, as it originates from individuals who possess extensive insights on the topics they comment on.

This deters people from making dumb or useless comments and look like fools in front of smart people that visit HN.

People that is not deterred by that will most likely learn the lesson a couple of minutes later from HN members feedbacks.
Some level of secrecy for purely operational matters is natural. You don't want to give out the keys to your secure communications system or publish your military dispositions in real time.

On the other hand, the existence of programs like this cannot and should not be granted a veil of secrecy. It's a sad irony that the US presents itself as the champion of a rules-based international order, human rights etc., while refusing to submit itself to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court or sign any treaty that might be even slightly disadvantageous.
> Work ethic, reliability, trustworthiness,

Aren't character traits that are encouraged by slave wages either. You care about these values? Employees care about money, "values" don't fill stomachs or pay the rent.

this is about getting paid. If I need money I'll show up to work even if I'm sick otherwise I don't get any money, I don't care about the rest, just like the employer doesn't care about me when I'm sick.

You really think that these food processing companies/restaurants pay employees enough to get some some of allegiance from them or something? that's absurd.
We had an extra metagame where if nobody was doing business with you you could try to wrestle the controller from their hands and make your own deals.
I have never paid for a SaaS software because it's opensource. If it's opensource, I'm more likely to run it. My concern with SaaS is more around your security/data policy. Work on that, convince your customers that you will be a good custodian to their data.
AI Driven Development with SudoLang – Autodux
Tesla gets a bad rap because of their notorious missed deadlines. They continue to chip away at the problem though, and have a large number of people paying them to use their beta software.

The fact that they’ve figured out how to make income from unfinished self driving software makes them, in my opinion, likely to succeed eventually. For everyone else self driving is a money pit. Tesla can continue working the problem indefinitely until it’s solved.
They work fine if you don't give a shit about your privacy.
1. That doesn't answer the obvious question of why states don't have these laws.
I got off track and delved in too far in personal belief, and rehash of science and religion. I think this is the wrong place and time for that.

I'll try to come back in middle with a few things I also heartily respect:

- certain persons are able to wholly soak their life in Christianity and do right with it to the benefit of all. I think of my sister. I think of the Secretary of State from the mid-west (name and state forgotten by me) who was hit on to do illegal stuff around the USJan6 debacle. This guy calmly explained his position to the Jan6 commission centered in his belief and his duty to God with its moral underpinnings. And he did as an authentic individual. No stock phrases like "As a Christian man" thereby putting emphasis on identity or grandstanding. He earned my respect. He knew the right thing. He reasoned the right thing. Then he did the right thing. Gotta admire that.

- religion was our first kind of shared culture. It provides some guidance on moral and ethical behavior. My parents (really my mother) raised me broadly under this background and it did right by me. Duty, knowing and doing the right thing even if it's temporarily uncomfortable, and having humility are important. Now, I'm leaving out square light years of details and nuance in so saying, but I acknowledge a good thing is good.

On aliens: my goto hunch is sensor spoofing either by creating a signal that's sensed and misinterpreted as bonafide, or a hack in the sensor systems itself. Demons? ET? These are extra ordinary phenomena that are gonna need extra ordinary evidence.

In conclusion I'm heartened we both ended up with one foot in Camus. The French aren't half-bad at philosophy! Cheers.
Agreed. It's pedantry at its worst. It has all the intellectual substance and contributive value as somebody who writes the word "First" on a YouTube video.
Why go back to NiMH when there is LiFePO4?
I have never used DOKS, but I wouldn’t really fret or worry it if I were you. You are using a managed k8s cluster, you should have everything you have deployed to it in git, and ideally something like Argo or helmfile where you could redeploy everything pretty easily.

If you need to pivot it should not be very hard, your not managing your own k8s cluster where you would needed to rework Terraform code for a new cloud provider, and learn the idiosyncrasies of setting up the cloud control manager, adding storage classes etc.

Since you are using managed k8s, I wouldn’t even think about DOKS, EKS, or GKE. Those are pretty irrelevant, at the end of the day you are using Kubernetes. Nothing you do in one can’t be used in another, your deployments, services, secrets, configmaps, ingresses, etc. are all going to be the same no matter your provider.

The biggest pain point with switching cloud providers (if you had to) would be migrating your database (assuming you have one).

A maze can be thought of a series of binary choices, so you'd get a different distribution if you spawn particles from successful ones than from a random walk in 2D. However, I don't think this gets you any better a model of scientific discovery than existing statistical models of combinatorial innovations (https://www.newthingsunderthesun.com/pub/2elwp33m/release/2#...), and it may be the same as some others.

> I’d happily pay another $30k/year or more in taxes for nationalized medical, lower college costs and other things most Europeans have.

The average household income in the US is around 80k. That’s like 55k after taxes. Are you proposing they give up another 30k of that?
Excel has raced ahead with LET()/LAMBDA() functionality and a JavaScript api. It seems that Libreoffice Calc has stood still in comparison (although to be fair it does feel more stable and responsive).
Bold of you to assume I'm going to spend any time listening to a random pitch let alone sign an NDA.

I first learned of Wiener's work from Jaron Lanier's [1] Ted Talk years ago, entitled "How we need to remake the internet" [2]:

> And I suppose I could mention from one of the very earliest computer scientists, whose name was Norbert Wiener, and he wrote a book back in the '50s [...] called "The Human Use of Human Beings."

> And in the book, he described the potential to create a computer system that would be gathering data from people and providing feedback to those people in real time in order to put them kind of partially, statistically, in a Skinner box, in a behaviorist system, and he has this amazing line where he says one could imagine as a thought experiment, and I'm paraphrasing, this isn't a quote, a global computer system where everybody has devices on them all the time, and the devices are giving them feedback based on what they did, and the whole population is subject to a degree of behavior modification.

> Such a society would be insane, could not survive, could not face its problems. And then he says, but this is only a thought experiment, and such a future is "technologically infeasible". And yet, of course, it's what we have created, and it's what we must undo if we are to survive.

They should have called out Luke Harding as a mole.
Or management deliberately times the cement mixing to block the strike.

Everyone seems to miss that the Court did not rule on the merits of the case. They rules on a procedural question. They ruled that the suit can go forward because intentional damage was within the realm of possibility.

Jackson dissented because she believed that NLRB has priority jurisdiction before other lawsuit venues.

No one on HN knows who is "right".
Just because a scam is profitable for the scammer doesn't mean the thing being sold works.
I give Tesla a lot of credit for shipping features that I can buy.

I use lane following, summoning (which saves me time), and the windshield wipers every day.

I’m also furious about the hype, and how much of my time it has personally wasted.

They've had it coming for some time now and I will have great enjoyment in seeing them finally self-destruct when their time comes.

They've been making mistake after mistake in the public free-speech sphere and nothing more than crumbs is left over from their inital base platform values.

I do get that they need to adhere to the advertisement companies to earn money, but I have to say that I am immensely disgusted by their lack of integrity and virtues.

Aaron Swartz will be happy to see them disappear from the public eye at last. And this will surely be in the right direction in that regard. I left that platform 7 years ago, haven't looked back.

It's actually really old, in that this bit goes back to the 1991 Directive, not just the replacement 2009 Directive.
I was making a pedantic joke, I did see that. However, it's poor form to source it in such an oblique way. In addition, it's on the left not the right.
Speaker surrounds are replaced when necessary. For several decades foam was used, and it tended to break down. The butyl rubber usually used now lasts thirty to fifty years when not exposed directly to sunlight.
It had a lot to do with my interest in computers as well. Acoustic couplers, war dialing, and basic cracking and phreaking were all _so_ cool in that movie, not to mention everything in and near the war room stuff.
> That still leaves a substantial population of people who do not have any other support system, or whose support system is in San Francisco.

It's not San Francisco's responsibility to pick up the slack for places that don't take care of their homeless. Declaring that it is doesn't make it so, and both creates perverse incentives (for other places to shirk on their responsibilities) and makes it impossible for San Francisco to fulfill its own responsibilities.

Also, I don't think I used the word "deserving," despite your quotes. They deserve help, but San Francisco is not obligated to be the provider of services for the entire country. Once we do manage to build successful programs for the homeless who originate here, then we can talk about whether it makes sense to build aid systems and SF housing for people from other communities.

As it stands, we fail all the homeless in San Francisco. It's silly to think we can tackle homelessness nationwide before we even can get a handle on those who come from here.
You're arguing against a strawman, neither of them said the content isn't credible (other than the implied "the name's spelled wrong, so don't take that spelling as correct.")

>It's easy to find typos

If it's easy to find typos.. what does that say about the author?

>Related, I've worked with people, scientists, that I've asked to provide useful feedback on the scientific aspects other's work, and who instead have come back with typos and grammar suggestions. This is worse than useless.

I'm assuming the work you're referring to is in a written form? Considering that the purpose of writing is communication, considering the fact that incorrect spelling, grammar, syntax and so on makes it harder for a reader to understand what's being communicated, I'd argue that it is in fact not useless.

Granted, sometimes people just aren't proficient in the language they're attempting to use and that's okay! Feedback in that case would presumably be welcome. Now if an author is simply declining to put the bare minimum of effort into their work, such as running it through a spellchecker, I think we have a moral obligation to call that kind of behavior out.

It kind of works, that’s the point. I pay for an FSD subscription because I get enjoyment from my car driving me around. Am I being scammed?
I see the goalposts have moved again, now we're on "reliably get the same configuration...."

The conversation is about Red Hat not packaging LibreOffice for RHEL. The options in scope here are RPM or Flatpak. Nix isn't even under consideration. You jumped in to complain about not being happy with Flatpak because it's not good at sandboxing. Nobody brought up sandboxing until you waded in about Nix.

It's tedious how any conversation about anything remotely related to packaging or pretty much anything, somebody has to show up stanning for Nix.
I dunno, if it's sandboxed and doesn't have network access then the only attacks I can think of are either really indirect (embedding an attack in saved files in hopes of hitting another user) or really targeted (altering a specific document or phrase when it's read). Assuming the sandbox works and includes blocking of network access, what attack do you see a word processor performing even when handed sensitive data?

I lived in the UK from 1997 - 2010 when the Labour Party was in power. Guess what, the world didn't end. People were pretty happy. It was good times.

As I have said in previous comments, I believe that there should be a natural oscillation between socialist policies, which involve tax and nationalisation, and capitalist policies, which involve tax cuts and privatisation. Everything should be context dependent.

I think the UK is a bit of a sham democracy because of FPTP but we have historically had a pretty decent mixture of the capitalist and the socialist. In fact, people are pretty pissed off here right now, precisely because the socialist element (nhs, transport, education) has been eroded in quality so much by the encumbent capitalist element that they are no longer functioning properly. As a result it is highly likely the Labour Party will win the next general election.

If that were to happen, the world will not end and things will carry on as normal, just as it did in 1997. After a few terms pass, the ideological flaws of the Labour Party will manifest in their own problems, the populace will become angry with them and go on to re-elect the Conservative Party again. I will be happy when both of these things happen (the re-election of Labour and the re-election of the Conservative Party after that) because that is the natural way of things and means that the system is course correcting properly.

If you have lived in a more extreme country that does not have proper democratic protections and has had an authoritarian socialist government then I'm sorry you've had to experience that. But there is not much difference between that and the horrors of an authoritarian capitalist society such as the Arabian nations which used slave labour to build its football stadiums.

The problem is not the ideology. The ideology is simply a model that can be applied to a problem to see if it fits. The real problem is twofold. The first part being people who take ideologies to their extremes and refuse to compromise or adapt to context or, possibly even worse, those who don't care an iota about the ideology but will twist it (and anything else) for their own ends, abusing their positions simply for personal gain. The second part of the problem is weak political systems that do not have sufficient checks and balances to contain these zealots and/or self serving individuals.
The backlash against the US is going to be brutal. I doubt the CIA continues to exist within 10 years.

No, the word “induction” has a different meaning in different contexts. So does “transformer”. So does “embedding”. So what?

“Bad actor” is a common phrase that frames a subject as acting maliciously. It’s not a term of art, and this framing is compatible with its use in security.

Farmers with chainsaws are not automatically bad actors because their actions are mostly not malicious. They are often acting legally, or are encouraged to act illegally under a regime of intentionally loose enforcement (“everyone does it”). It is a political problem where the term “bad actor” is relative to the political position of the observer.

That’s why terms like “bad actor” are unhelpful. It frames all the subjects as malicious, when in many cases their actions are perfectly reasonable and often perfectly legal.

Some farmers with chain saws are bad actors, but not all of them. We need to help all of them.
