At first, this may seem so. But we have another software product and we have implemented this tool there (virtual office). At first there was negativity, but a month later, when the employees realized that no one was making any comments to them and they were working as before, the objections disappeared, and the convenience of quick communication became an integral part of the work process

Another case of poor journalism discussing inflation in the abstract. What are the drivers? There are still buyers at the elevated prices even with 8+% mortgage rates. Despite wages being effectively negative against CPI and actual inflation.

So who are the buyers?
Rather unhelpfully, this Government decided to tax landlords on income not profit.

Previously landlords could rent at £1000 pcm, pay their buy-to-let mortgage at £900, and get taxed on the profit of £100, at 40%, that would be £40.

Now they get taxed on £1000 = £400, and get a tiny amount of tax relief on the mortgage cost.

So many landlords were paying much, much, more tax. So quite a lot of them exited the market.

Fewer properties, same number of people chasing places, has increased rents. On top of a stupidly hot property market in London, and it's the perfect storm really.

Slow applause for the UK government on this one. They were told this would happen when they made the change several years ago.

Most alternative medicine is crap. Useless or actively harmful, e.g. arsenic in homeopathy or heavy metals in many Ayurvedic preparations.

Where it isn’t, it’s often incorporated into medicine—its practitioners pretend to be persecuted as a marketing tactic. (A lot of “food-based medicine”, i.e. targeted nutrition, falls into this category.)
I think you should always be wary of statement like: It's a great time to buy if you have the cash!

It's the kind of thing a real estate agent says. Not that I think the original poster is one. The truth is that owning real estate, like owning most things and investments in particular is very situational. People make the decision too much based on what people around them are doing. It's much better-- good market or bad-- to be thinking things like: is this a good price? how long will I want this property? how much financial risk am I taking. etc. If that is your framework you don't really need to worry about the "good time / bad time" news cycle.

An anti-candida diet is just a diet that is very low in sugar or things that digest into sugars (so minimizing anything that would feed populations of candida yeasts in the gut), while simultaneously consuming things (foods, supplements or drugs) that actively fight or kill off the yeast.

Interestingly, for my mom, the migraines are a sign of the "die-off" symptoms. So we have to be careful not to kill off the candida too aggressively or else it will cause headaches that are too much (so we do it gradually).

Practically, an anti-candida diet is like a keto diet but without the counting carbs and also avoiding dairy - so lots of non-starchy vegetables, meat, fish, avocados etc. basically
Like fellow commenter, I spend most of my time across Windows, Android (where Linux kernel is an implementation detail), macOS, leaving GNU/Linux for some server deployments and an aging netbook from the glory Netbook days (2009).

I had a UNIX zealot phase, starting with Xenix in 1993, used most well known commercial UNIXes since then, started my GNU/Linux travel with Slackware 2.0 in 1995's Summer, bought all Linux Journal issues until they went out of business.

Yet by the time Windows 7 came out, I had enough of always making up for Year of Desktop Linux continuous reboots of subsystems, fragmentation and what not, and VMWare did it for me.

Like many people that went to OS X for their UNIX fix, for me using GNU/Linux was always a cheap way to have UNIX at home, so anything that does POSIX well enough will do, and it is a pity that we lost Solaris.

So Windows, macOS and Android it is.
If quantum computers become more practical in our lifetimes, we don't want our current secrets vulnerable to that analysis. Scaling a quantum computer definitely isn't as simple as the evolution from valves and transistors was to integrated circuits ... but estimates from experts on the difficulty vary from "this is very very very difficult" to "this will remain physically impossible". Either way that's still more likely than brute-forcing an encryption key with modern standards; so there's a rationale for prioritizing post-Quantum security today.

That said, you are right to be wary; if there is a side-channel or implementation vulnerability in a PQ algorithm ... then you are much worse off using it. Worst-case; imagine an RCE in the PQ implementation. So it's a good idea to be cautious and check the code rigorously.
Day to day, how much code do you think principle and staff engineers write? Senior architects and team leads? The problem is I don't think we, as an engineering discipline and career path, are willing to recognize that the job of being a coder stops being about writing code! Yes there are deadbeats who don't contribute (some of them can code just fine), as there are in every industry, but until you've been in a project that failed because there was no senior architect, someone getting paid a comfortable salary to be the "senior architect" and not write code sounds like a waste of the company's money to the intern.

At the start of a SWE career, I don't think things broken. Study up some leetcode and write code on a whiteboard to prove that you, as a candidate, are smart and motivated enough to play the game. It's after that, that things get out of sync and you get absolutely amazing people who have written world changing software who can't pass your stupid puzzle of a whiteboard interview. And then what do you do? This person failed your test but you want to hire them. Here's the part where we fail, where we are too stuck on following the rules.

They failed the test so you can't make an offer? No. Move heaven and Earth to bend the rules, and make them the offer anyway. Don't hide behind corporate handbooks and the HR or the legal department.

Obviously this power can be abused, but I don't take it as a given that it must be, given a hiring panel.

Google could have made an offer to Homebrew's Max Howell but chose not to, which speaks volumes.

So okay, all the artifacts take much more resources but even after consuming 100 times more compute resources why software is still excruciatingly slow?

This comment is something like even after paying 100K for performance BMW car engineer tells the user car will take 30 sec for 0-60 mph. And since user is not perf expert they have to take it face value.
No revenue generally means the project eventually gets abandoned or relegated to spare time because people gotta eat. So yeah I'd say it's a bad thing.

I don't think this is true. I have excellent credit, but I can't get sub-inflation rates right now, but I suppose it depends: what rate you're talking about specifically, and what inflation figure are you using?

It could also be a reaction to the drugs and low sugar.
Look, I get the impulse, and might have agreed with you 10 years ago. At the end of the day, though, we have to work with non-computationally savvy people who (reasonably) want to look at their data sometimes. Not every lab tech or PI can or should learn Python/R/your favorite scripting language, and frameworks like Galaxy take time to set up and maintain, etc etc. Our job is to meet the users where they are and push the biology forward. Any time that I can push them onto a better path, I'll do that, but sometimes the right move is to tell them: "Yeah, go ahead and play with the data in excel, then tell me what you find", and I'll code something proper up afterwards to verify it, get solid stats and a make a pretty visualization.
I think this is actually pretty common in the JavaScript ecosystem.

There is just about a zero percent chance this is true. Many people were openly frustrated that the vaccinated would still get and spread covid despite originally being told that wouldn't happen.

this reeks of being a win for the pencil pushers at netflix who needed to turn around the slowly growing exodus from their platform on paper. i would guess that this will only be a one time boost as some people will have to get their own accounts. it seems like those people have already just done that.

it does nothing to address why there has been a slowly building exit from their platform... they have prioritized creating and promoting their own mostly-mediocre branded content instead of retaining licensing deals on movies and series people actually want to watch. all of this, while also continually raising rates.
> There's never been a worse time to borrow

Maybe? In the 1970s in the UK we had double-digit inflation. It turns out that was the best time to borrow because (wage) inflation eroded the cost of mortgages within just a few years, making a large mortgage in 1970, a very small one by 1980.

Whether inflation, right now, is coming back under control in Western economies is a matter of debate.

The prospect of being able to close in days without bank approvals will get you a hefty discount.

Yes, but you're still getting a discount on an inflated price. You'll get that same discount six months from now, only on a much lower price when 8% interest rates start to really cut down on the buyer pool.

From my POV, what you suggest is going to buy a car 12 months ago, convincing the dealer to take off that "market adjustment surcharge, then bragging about how much of a deal you got by only paying MSRP. Versus the person 12 months later that started negotiations at MSRP, and not an artificial price.

People are unfortunately very, very, stupid.

They cannot cope with the notion that one could be pro-Palestine AND pro-Israel AND anti-terrorist AND anti-war, all at the same time.

If you are pro-Palestine they think you must be anti-Israel, if you are pro-Israel they think you must be anti-Palestine. Which is an idiotic assumption but millions of people think this way.

So companies don't want to tread this line at all, because they have stock prices and earnings and other things to worry about.

There are a lot of claims there. Some fair some not. Neither ones relate to the current conflict. The claims of "drove 80% of the indigenous population out of their homes at gunpoint." is repeated often but is also missing a lot of context:

* Israelis didn't start that war

* Israelis were surrounded and attacked on all sides. They won.

* Many Arabs stayed and were invited to stay. They enjoy equal votes, supreme court positions and freedom of religion.

* Jews living in Arab countries were chased out and lost all their property too.

Furthermore, the occupied territories is the area we're talking about. That area belonged to Jordan/Egypt respectively. None of them wanted them back during peace talks. These people didn't have freedom before Israel came in.

Israel TRIED to make a peace treaty. The *HAMAS* destroyed that treaty by blowing people up. Its stated goal is the destruction of Israel. It is NOT about freedom in any way. It's about murder. Plain and simple...

The only way Palestinians will ever be free from Israel is if the Hamas is destroyed.
> It’s not a utility though

The parent asked, "what is your solution to letting them still project their voice on private property without infringing on the property owners rights?"

The fact that they are not regulated as utilities is "the problem", assuming you have a problem with the status quo.

the French revolution didn't just hang out in France. those armies -- Napoleon -- went all over Europe, and so to went a lot of their ideas.

the German revolutions of 1848–1849 for example came out of sparks that the French (and US) revolutions brought (as well as a good dose of Karl M).
Here is some analysis on why these variables are often considered and what else is important.

More recent publications replace "quality" with "scope" since quality cannot be controlled directly and is seen as a result.
A conflict as old as time. Unfortunately, it's the MBA thinking that pays the company's bills.

An ideal world isn't one in which either the MBAs or the engineers win. It's one in which they coexist and find a reasonable balance between having more useful features than the competition and not expending too much effort to build and maintain those features.
> > Praise and thank the Lord. #betterlatethannever #savethechildren #prayforGaza #prayforpeace

> Is this what counts as "terrorist" supporter these days?

Does "better late than never" refer to Hamas's attack on Israel, where they killed roughly a thousand people? If not, what does it refer to?

Does "Praise and thank the Lord" refer to the same thing? If you're praising God for that, you may not be a terrorist "supporter", but you're certainly a terrorist cheerleader and advocate.

And if you are referring to that, and saying "pray for peace" on the same line? Then your hypocrisy is nauseating.

All this is based on my interpretation of "better late than never". If I'm interpreting it wrongly, please clue me in as to what it actually means.

Oh, you mean the war where multiple arabs armies attacked the newly formed Israel at the behest of the local arabs?

I would rather go live in a hut in the mountains writing angry manifests for the rest of my life than work with an invasive nightmare like this.

I have ADHD and a few other issues. I still manage to do good work on average and keep a job. But if my boss was able to micro-manage my attention, my fatigue and my hour-by-hour productivity I would go insane within a week. I'm never going to fit whatever ideal model of attention and productivity you come up with. Taking a five minute break when the computer tells me to is an invasion of my autonomy, and passing any health data to a work web-service is an invasion of privacy.

I'm not a robot that needs to be optimized and maintained by my employer. I don't want to be watched constantly. I don't want to watch myself and report on myself either! Why do you think would I ever tell a service about my fatigue level, when that service is being paid by my company? That is nobody's business, and thinking that this will not be abused to put extra pressure on employees, no matter how good your intentions are, is delusional.

The one non-creepy feature is basically "video call with desktop sharing", which I believe has been done, and let's not kid ourselves about the invasive metrics not being the primary selling point.

On the plus side, the nose-picking-blur will create a lot of unintended hilarity, like those "unnecessary censorship" videos where you bleep people to make it look like they just said a swear word.
Often off-duty pilots get some seat in the cockpit. I guess if they’re moving around for the company they can get an actual seat (edit: not so here, says they were en route to work for the airline, but maybe if you’re “commuting” from home it’s different). Not sure how it works if they just want to fly somewhere for free (would they just have to go in uniform or verboten in any way in the cockpit like that?)

Other than the safety issue, if this person causes that program to end, every pilot is going to have it out for them even moreso (but hard to imagine it being any worse than it is).
If you can afford it and have a 5+ year horizon, probably. Look at your local market pre-2008 crash prices and how long they took to recover to get a rough timeline. Where I live took 10 years. I don’t think it’ll take as long to recover if there is a crash because there are a lot of millennial buyers.
