> The 8 hours of each kid's day where they're surrounded by dozens of other potential disease vectors.

Would ventilation really stop this though? Kids will still ride on school busses, play during recess, share classroom supplies, eat in the same cafeteria, etc. Ventilation isn't magic, I don't think there are any ventilation systems that could swap out the air so quickly that kids wouldn't be exposing each other. I also haven't seen any studies in which they retrofitted an average school building and tested transmissability, though I'd be very interested if anyone has a source to such a study.

> The period before they go home and infdct their parents, and potentially kill their grandparents.

This isn't how infection works. If a kid is exposed at school they won't go home and immediately infect others. I also feel for any child made to think that if they step out of line at all they would kill their grandparents.

> It's expensive but let's be frank, we're okay with thousands of people dying annually because we don't want to spend the money to do anything about it.

This gets to the question of what gives the most impact for our buck. If saving lives if the question we would first need to decide if all lives are equal and whether there are other causes of death that can be more easily or cheaply mitigated.

If the goal is to save on the scale of thousands of lives, investing in helping our people eat better would almost certainly make a bigger impact, I'm sure there are many other examples that would be more efficient than retrofitting all school buildings with ventilation systems effective enough to show a change in Covid deaths.
Sure. But then what if that position isn't advertised, because you just made it for this candidate?

E.g. if someone is already on a little below your top end, but they'd have to trade a nice short commute at their current role for a longer commute to come to you, they might need more than the top end. What then? Do they have to stay put, because this sort of law only thinks about salary, and not overall cost-benefit for the employee's situation, judged by the employee?

Do you mean investing 4B internally instead? That would not be an investment into AI or LLM that Amazon considers strategic? Would they be able to invest 4B internally specifically for this? Maybe yes, but I’d argue they already probably tried it and it did not work as well as they hoped. Or they do know it may not be as effective.

I really wanted to try switching to pass, but I use my password manager on my phone too much, and I dual-boot on my desktop besides. WSL solves the desktop issue, but I'm not sure what the best option is for syncing Linux, Windows, and an Android phone. Heck, I don't even know how `pass` stores the db so I don't know if it can be synced.

Got any insight there?
Apparently you can get anyone's declared income with just a phone call, maybe that's what they're referring to: https://www.businessinsider.com/sweden-salaries-freely-avail...

If that's possible, you can at least in theory try to find a representative sample of current employees and get an idea of how much you could realistically get paid.
With a password manager, you only need to know 1 password to "deduce" all the others. So wouldn't a 3-password system be better anyway?

Other than generationally wealthy families (very few) or thieves or people making laws that then make them rich in the stock market, there are plenty of wealthy people who got wealthy because people chose to give them money in exchange for something worth that money to them.

This is the entirety of the problem. Economic opportunity is here, affordable housing is there. If you want access to the economic opportunity you have to pay the wealthy landowning class. It’s a drain on the economy that brings us all down.

It's not about the correlation, it's that higher performing employees have an easier time finding alternatives.

And even if they mostly prefer the office, they might not like the heavy-handedness with which management is pushing through RTO right now - who knows what else they might force next that directly affects them?

As such, everybody is kept on somewhat shaky grounds with these ever-changing decrees, and the people the companies should be most motivated to keep are best suited to leave.
Celebrating 15 Years of DuckDuckGo
I don't wish homelessness upon anyone but you have to recognize that it was the baby boomers that created this situation.

We, as a society, are desensitized to state violence. The state withholding basic necessities so a few can profit is state violence. In the wealthiest country on Earth there is absolutely no justification for anyone not having shelter and adequate food and water.

The homeowners who vote in these wealth transfers for themselves are fooling themselves. First, if every house goes from $300k to $800k, you haven't made $500k. You still need to live somewhere and you still only have 1 house unit of wealth. The real beneficiaries are the very wealthy who buy up a lot of housing stock. Second, that wealth in many cases won't be transferred to their children. It'll get completely consumed by end-of-life care.

I've seen this play out on myself. I finally realized that I can only lose about 10lb of fat before my body refuses to lose more. Further extreme calorie cuts will only cut muscle. Including dropping to zero calories on a extended fasts. One year I got down to medically underweight (and could wrap my whole hand around my upper arm) and I still had a belly so big I couldn't see my toes when standing. I apparently have some extremely famine resistant genes.

I eventually lost (and kept off for the last 6 years) all the weight I wanted by cycles of cutting and bulking. I'd slowly raise my calories, eventually settling at a slight 10% surplus for eight weeks. I'd then start tapering calories for eight weeks, eventually losing about 8 pounds of fat. I'd repeat the cycle, gaining about a quarter pound of muscle and 2 pounds of fat. Then repeat again.

Obviously this is a huge hassle, but I was able to go from obese to the lower end of healthy weight, and in the meantime got my deadlift to 2x my body weight.

Also so many veggies. Lunch and dinner, 2 cups of veggies before the main protein.

Now to keep it off, I still eat the veggies, and I also drink a ton of water before a meal. And lastly, our meals are pretty much just variations of lentils, legumes, and chickpeas. Those have good protein and fiber. We'll add olive oil for fat. Some pita, high fiber tortillas, or whole wheat bread adds carbs.

So far the most intuitive, killer app level UX appears to be text chat. This interaction with showing it images also looks interesting as it resembles talking with a friend about a topic but let's see if it feels like talking to a very smart person(ChatGPT is like that) or a very dumb person that somewhat recognise objects. Recognising a wrench is nowhere near as impressive as to able to talk with ChatGPT about history or make it write code that actually works.

OpenAI is killing it, right? People are coming up with interesting use cases but the main way most people interact with AI, appears to be ChatGPT.

However they still don't seem to be able to nail image generation, all the cool stuff keep happening on MidJourney and StableDiffusion.

If a group of actual LARPers doesn't want spectators, isn't part of a larger LARPing community, doesn't have rules/character sheets, is concerned about law enforcement (!) then they look like terrorists, based on this guidance.

The problem is that they've commingled a handful of objective facts with a handful of mental states and motives that are only known to the individuals.

The only reliable factor is if they are using live weapons and ammunition. Sadly, law enforcement is likely incapable of using that single, obvious factor to judge the legality of what is otherwise creative expression, and therefore leans into the pseudo-forensics provided here.

Go doesn't have native async support per se, but its approach to concurrency with goroutines and channels simplifies the process considerably. Synchronous code resembles asynchronous code, eliminating the need to isolate goroutines.

Rust, on the other hand, took a different route. Green threads don't integrate smoothly with code interfacing through FFI. Moreover, Rust's async model doesn't require a garbage collector.

The big ranges is a logical consequence of such stupid rules. People are not commodities, and only in the most trivial of work can you a priori know what an individual brings to it. It's typical government thinking that makes no sense in the real world. So employers are stuck publishing an absurdly wide band that reflects the difference in what different people might bring to the position.

This is effectively populism, a simple and wrong solution to a much more complex problem.
Not quite sure what you mean, humans have lives with plenty of viruses that circulate regularly and people don't choose to get infected.

The term pandemic is also pretty specifically defined as the time period where an infection is spreading rapidly through a population. Once it has spread everywhere you can't accurately keep calling it a pandemic, the period of rapid spread is over.

Isn't this the entire point of capitalism and the privatization of critical services and infrastructure ?

All companies exist to make money, that is absolutely all there is to it. So they're making more money by jacking up prices as far as they can to make...more money. In the US, this will continue until it can't anymore...it will happen things like food, electricity, healthcare, education, infrastructure. The only thing that could stop is might be government intervention, but the politicians are bought too now, so maybe direct civil disobedience would be the only other thing that might bring on a change.

I agree with much of this post. I managed to avoid async Rust for three years of writing it. I do think it's the least beautiful part of Rust. My journey has been one of reaching for Arc and Mutexes and then running into problems with that approach. Relying more on channels and spawned tasks that own state i.e. Actors[0] has been a good improvement.

I do think the post is a bit unfair in this sense, it rightly identifies the problems of Send and 'static. However, it also suggests Arc and Mutex are *the* solutions for shared state in async, but suggested channels for the threads example.

The problem of function colouring and Send/'static bounds are the significant hurdles with async Rust, shared state is something that needs to be resolved whether using threads or async.

> What's worse is there's no good reason for it, it's just a power play by execs who are kind of bad at their jobs.

In the end it's more a financial thing IMO. When you just entered a 10 or 15 year lease right before Covid hit, you're now stuck with paying 7 years for an office you're not even using - that's objectively bad for any company's financials (and in some cases, bonuses for decisionmakers tied to stuff like "cost per employee").

The other side of rentals, the entire REIT industry, has it even worse, they're in pure panic mode: there are a lot of projects that got completed shortly before, during or after Covid... and that now lack renters while interest rates for refinancing keep going upwards as the free money ran out and central banks imposed serious rate hikes.

And if that's not enough, cities also have a problem... when people don't commute by car, they don't pay road tolls, endangering their financial calculations. When they don't commute by public transport and don't pay subscription tickets any more, the transport authorities get into financial trouble. When storefronts of bakeries, coffee shops and other ancilliary services for office drones get boarded up as no one is in the office any more to buy all that stuff, blight sets in.

Side industries are also hit: when people demand fast Internet at their homes to work efficiently or utilize other stuff such as water, electricity or trash more (because they'd have to expand their long-outdated, barely adequate service), utility providers have to invest serious amounts of money. Car insurances tied to distance driven per year lose money. The list of economic activities directly tied to an economy dedicated to people commuting from their homes to their office is really fucking long.

Hence, there are massive financial interests putting up serious efforts, both political and medial, to push for people to come back to the office even though largely only the already uber-rich profit from that.

I have asked some HR people this question about ranges, and most of them tell me they expect to pay the midpoint of the range. That is, if you meet the qualifications, they’ll offer you the midpoint. However if you blow them away or got some competing offers, they will offer you the high end. And if you got very little experience, the low end. That’s the rule of thumb. It doesn’t matter if the range is as wide as 80k-400k, just assume the midpoint is the starting offer

I’ve also done some research where I took offers people disclosed in TeamBlind and compared them to the job posting, and in most cases the offer was very close to the midpoint https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SfaV1p_jbgoTOyCsD5wd...

Statistical diagnoses models have offered similar possibilities in medicine for 50 years. Pretty much, the idea is that you can get a far more accurate diagnosis if you take into account the medical history of everyone else in your family, town, workplace, residence and put all of it into a big statistical model, on top of your symptoms and history.

However, medical secrecy, processes and laws prevent such things, even if they would save lives.
