I can't speak to historically, but my understanding is currently, in the US, dental coverage was excluded from a lot of "this is insane, not allowed" provisions in the ACA as a compromise, so all the fun things you loved seeing go away in health insurance like lifetime maximums on coverage are still around.
That sounds nice. I've diverged a bit from actual files on disk (even though I wanted my system to stay there for simplicity) into an abstract tree structure with a fs-like API. Though you can get back to plain files by just using a single FSTree (in my system). Would love to hear more about the structure of those plain text files you use for regeneration

I think it's very important to have the ability to work directly with files, for draconian environments you describe, but just because it's the simplest, stable, most portable, least-time to _something_ abstraction. It just has to be balanced with more complex functionality files alone can't handle.
I believe you're misunderstanding and taking that term too literally.

The term has an established economic meaning that applied to Japan long before China, and Japan didn't "die":

The article also describes that process.
So if no ones been doing work for 3 years and these companies are cracking out record profits, wouldn't it be the logical thing for the C suite to just fire everyone in the company, ride like 12 more quarters of amazing results and then just hire back a new workforce.

Btw, I know this is about real estate. It's happening to me too.
Many offices are empty wastelands so, no, the only option is to switch jobs.
Nobody can make you work in an office if you don't want to. Organizations should obviously be free to demand it and you should be free to work somewhere else if you don't want to.
My parents had a Waterpik in the 80s - it was okay, I guess, but my go-to are Plackers, have been for years. I can get to every little nook and cranny with those things.

Ultimately, whatever you're using, I think the important part is that you're doing it daily, and being thorough.

Many of those investors (who sit on company boards) also participated in the decision to sign those 10 year leases or outright purchase or build massive offices.

Rather than looking stupid by having hugely expensive, empty, office space that you’re contractually obligated to keep paying for because of a decision you made pre-Covid, you encourage the he company to utilize so the asset doesn’t sit unused. (For better or worse)

If you purchased or built the office, it might hurt your balance sheet to sell the asset at a loss.

That loss might be greater than the cost of filling the office with people.

I could see a CFO making a pretty compelling argument like this to a board filled with investors.
Magic Trackpad too. Just bought a new one and it came with a usb-c to lightning cable.
You want to see a Zoom client that is utter broken trash? Look at the Linux flatpak. The scaling is completely broken, buttons are covered up, changing the size of the window results in bleed-through from underneath in parts but not others. Once a call is started if you maximize the window it will cut the other side's video in half.

I am not a regular user of Zoom at all but I did install the flatpak to check it out. I am not impressed. A company as big as this and they couldn't scrape up the resources to find a developer to make a working client? PATHETIC!

It looks like it was done as a highschool project by the gifted nephew of the CEO for their computer class and then rolled out to the world so that all may benefit from the genius of the nephew.
Why did Zoom explode in popularity anyway? When there were already plenty of video chat programs on the market that seemed to be doing fine?

anxiety can be very disabling, and can indeed leave people unable to provide for themselves at a very basic level; they will, as you seem to have correctly inferred, die without support

It's a really, really good game. I'm glad they decided to make it turn based vs the real time with pause, though I know that's a somewhat controversial decision (what isn't?). The game itself is beautiful, the music is immersive, the writing is (so far) intriguing, and it runs on Linux with only minor tweaks. The game does wonders to capture the feel of playing a well-DMed campaign.

It's no surprise to me that it's getting a lot more sales than they expected, and I'm glad to see devs get rewarded for making a quality product.
My anecdata is that it got a lot better. I probably worked like ten hours a week less on average during the whole 2020-2022 pandemic period. I even have weird nostalgia for the two months that we didn't have daycare at the beginning, which I remember thinking was really awful at the time, but when I look back now I remember spending a lot of large chunks of afternoons playing with my daughter when I would have previously been at my office. I was certainly a less effective employee though!
> Work should be professional relationships

Sounds like a cultural thing.

One of the best periods in my life was working with people who became my friends.

> Believe me, the company will have no regrets parting with you if they feel you are not adding to their business value.

"The company" doesn't exist. Its a somewhat useful abstraction. The people involved can and will keep people on long after they "should" have been fired. At least here is Europe.

Absolutely everybody who owned a PC for gaming in the late 90's played BG1 and BG2, no matter the age. Video games are not just for teenagers you know.
And maybe work is getting done but the quality, speed, and creativity are suffering immensely.

I don’t require my employees to be in office, and given that 60% of my team is non-local it’s not an option anyways. Given a magic wand I would 100% have everyone be around for at least a hybrid 3/2.

There are so, so many information and communication inefficiencies that could be solved by an off the cuff 1m in-person chat. Idea generation as well. Being in a zoom occasionally and chatting on Slack is a shit replacement for this in a creative field like video game development.

And to be clear, I am wildly productive remote but I’d be willing to trade 33% of that for the benefits my team would have by being in-person.
Not everyone works in software. It can be hard to measure deliverables in a position that isn't deliverable-oriented. Maybe you're crucial to the department but your output isn't measurable directly.

It's extremely geographic and even health system dependent. A non-urgent primary care visit is at minimum 60 days out for me, usually well beyond 90. Urgent stuff of course gets seen much quicker, but even moderately urgent things can be a few days to a week wait.

This is pretty common for most of my peers in the area. My last place of residence I could be seen same or next day most of the time, but I also hear it's slowly getting worse there as well. It's going to get really ugly in the rural areas, especially for those on Medicare, but everyone is going to be noticing the shortages pretty soon unless you can afford concierge level care or happen to live in a few medical hotspot regions.
>frozen veggies

The giant bags of 'Normandy vegetables' and 'Stir-fry vegetables' from Costco are an absolute dietary staple for me. Grab a couple of handfuls from each bag, toss 'em with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt, MSG and some sort of spice mix (or just garlic powder sometimes), then roast at 450 for ~15 minutes.

Fast, minimal prep time, and at least I'm eating vegetables with my probably-unhealthy main dish.
Frankly, that says more about you than OP.
Texas is windy.
I enjoy solving hard problems.

Hard situations? Depends on the deadline and the stakes. It can be rewarding (as in, you truly make a difference and the business sees that) but I don't aim to be a director so it's not something I'd like to do on a daily basis.

Funny thing is, in my experience, hard situations rarely require deep technical thinking, so I feel like my skills are worse off (which didn't really help with my burnout).
Having gone through something similar - therapy with an expert in burnout/depression (although any therapy is like a net positive) and finding the room to re-examine my life and understand what was important to me.

To me that looked like taking a few months to spend with my partner and traveling to spend chunks of time with friends and family. It re-oriented (or rather, helped me re-discover) to the importance of these connections relative to work.

That said, all of that is easier said than done and not everyone can just take time off from work. But seeing a therapist regularly was the 0 to 1 that gave me the energy and my soul back to figure out the rest.
Evidence human behavior does not align with your awareness is all over.

Why would you accept my data without checking the methods?

The onus is on you to prove a very reasonable human behavior false.

Whole lot of people saying we ought not fiddle kids been arrested for diddling kids.

Reasonable real world, if emotionally “wrong” feeling does not make the notion wrong.

You want data the sun rose in the east, go outside.

So many demand technical correctness in others, think without checking themselves, they know what’s true.
> Google improves search every year.

I don’t believe this based on my own search experience getting worse year over year. I believe they know how to improve it, but they choose to increase revenue instead.

Results seem to be less relevant to me and there are frequently more ad results than organic that display on the page.

I think they are able to do this because of lock in with users and vendors. If there was more competition, there wouldn’t be such bad results.
Alright, so I experimented with this service a little bit.

I already have some ID Theft Protection through my bank, which monitors the Dark Web and alerts me about PII. They also have options where you can send requests to public services to take out your information, like whitepages.com.

Google One also monitors the Dark Web and offers an ID Theft Protection service, which is included with the One subscription, which I find is great for a number of reasons, especially being able to get a hold of a live CSR over chat or phone. So there's already monitoring in place for a while now.

What's new is that you can request Google to remove results from the Search index. This is not the same as sending a request to the service which listed your information. This is an internal Google matter.

So I sent Google a few requests, and they're picky about matching your name or phone or address; it has to match exactly. So I am sort of shooting from the hip in trying to have listings removed from Search. But I think they've approved one or two requests, and they've denied three more.

Simply removing your results from Google Search is a cosmetic solution. If you're doing nothing to remove the listings themselves, then anyone can still go directly to those sites and find your information. I use whitepages.com directly all the time. I don't just Google someone's name, that's a foolish hitting-fly-with-sledgehammer attempt.

Some of the sites which are listed in Search, and may show up as a Snippet, will not allow you to directly see that information on their website without payment. Therefore, Google may deny your request for de-indexing if you can't verify an exact match and which information they're holding.

I don’t think it’s conscious discouragement. If it is, then California is much better at it, and that’s a silly proposition.

TBH it looks and especially feels much more like a reskinned Divine Divinity OS2 with DnD rules implanted than BG1 and BG2 (which isn't necessarily a bad thing of course, but I don't feel a lot of BG1 and BG2 nostalgia when playing BG3, instead I'm constantly reminded of OS2).

PS: One thing that is a lot better than in BG1 and BG2 is that combat with low-class characters feels a lot more interesting. Not sure how much of this is because of the ADnD vs DnD5 rules or whether Larian has added some tweaks to the DnD5 rules.
Yes, I expect they can manage a boolean per building and a notice to users when that's marked.

The American economy is growing in real terms, with inflation a continuing risk. Beijing is “putting pressure on prominent local economists to avoid discussing negative trends such as deflation” [1]. These are opposite problems.

We are also in a high-rate environment that is leading to defaults in the property sector [2]. Again, the opposite of extend and pretend.

I've actually been thinking about ways to align incentives of employees and the company they work for because from working in tech in SF I don't think the Google / Facebook incentive system works.

I have some ideas for how to measure output:

1. Code output: I know this one is controversial but at the end of the day code needs to be written. People wouldn't get penalized for missing this minimum output, it's just a signal that their work needs more detailed review. Rather than incentivize people to write more code I would say that some minimum amount of lines of code should be changed or a more detailed review of your work needs to be done.

2. Document output: Designs are obviously important to launching quality software so the work put into design documents should be taken into consideration but it should also result in actual features and products being launched.

3. Feature / Product launches: People actually shipping software and running and completing experiments should be tracked. This should be tracked and rewarded separately from the actual result of the experiment.

4. Feature / Product success: If feature and product launches are successful this should also be tied to employee performance but obviously the employee is not in complete control of this outcome. Sometimes things can be executed on well and just fail so this should be used for a bonus system of some sort.

There are obviously ways people can game a system and the system should be adjusted to account for them as they come up.

Either way, I think anything that encourages actual accountability is superior to the system people have blindly copied from Google and Facebook where you are rewarded for getting into management and building a tiny kingdom of people that do nothing.
It seems fair to describe all the other regional ISOs as being connected in a sense (transitively) whereas ERCOT is not. What is your objection?

You've never seen two people's sets of baggage right next to each other at the check-in counter, and the attendant puts the tag on the wrong one?

Check-in counters are busy places where printers break and attendants switch between desks and luggage gets put somewhere for a minute and attendants are multitasking because in the middle of checking you in, there's an urgent situation with another passenger, and now the other printer broke too -- "well I assume this tag was meant for this bag, I've gotta keep the line moving".
> I have no idea why you think that being able to warp from here to another star in a day would be somewhat useless.

And I have no idea why you don't notice that this is moving fast. That's the irony.
Do you have any actual, hard, direct evidence to support the claim that there is some deliberate, large-scale campaign by the media to propagate such (alleged) false narratives? If there were, it would have to be a conspiracy involving hundreds of people across (or within) a large number of news outlets; there would be no way to keep that a secret.

It's quite possible that people have good-faith reasons for disagreeing with you and writing stories expressing perspectives that you dislike.
monasteries were already at least a millennium old when the middle ages started, maybe several millennia old; a pilgrimage to a monastery is central to the plot of the ramayana, which depicted its events as impossibly ancient when it was written, at least 900 years before the middle ages. in particular, the kingdom where it began did historically exist but was conquered 1000 years before the middle ages; the ramayana doesn't bother to mention the kingdom that conquered it

all of these events predate the wide adoption of writing in the region, which makes it hard to tell how old the traditions described in the oldest sources are, though vedic scholars make arguments from internal features of the text

also it is common into deep prehistory for non-wealthy people to live with their parents as long as they are single; that's what most people do here, for example. no monastery needed

Platforms are ecosystems with a monopoly intentionally created by copyright. But the copyright monopoly is supposed to be for the copyrighted work. You shouldn't be able to anti-competitively leverage it into a monopoly over everything else it touches, from hardware to app distribution to services.

And there is no inherent reason it has to be that way. Microsoft doesn't have any kind of a monopoly on app distribution for Windows, for example. POSIX applications aren't tied to any specific vendor's proprietary Unix. You don't have to run Windows on most PCs even if that's what it comes with, and the same has been true of many Macs, but not iPhones.

Taking a monopoly you have legitimately and leveraging it into control over some other market is called tying.

Sorry I might have gone mixed up between threads.

Yeah, pre-publication replication is nice (I do it when I can and am suspicious of some simulation results), but is not practical at scale. Besides, the role of peer review is not to ensure results are right, that is just not sustainable for referees.
Good for you figuring this out. I always point out to my wife that an expert with a financial benefit in the advice they are giving you is potentially more dangerous than an amateur.

If you are a dentist, "more dentistry" is likely to resonate with them as a solution, especially if that means they charge for doing the work. No different than if you ask a software developer if you should hire them to automate some process. A true pro may say "nah it's not worth it for you" but that's rare...

It's fashionable to dunk on folks who "do their own research" but I admire that more than those who are proud of unquestionably taking direction from vested parties.
I mean generally. This is a pervasively common myth (the Talk section of the wiki article alludes to this). Read about the money multiplier myth, or, a direct source from a central bank about how loans are created by creating new deposits at the point of loan creation: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/explainers/how-is-money-crea...

There is a concept of reserve in the system. That is: banks must keep a reserve with the central bank relative to the amount of new money they are creating through loans. At the moment though, that reserve ratio is 0 (zero) for the UK and the US, rendering it meaningless.
