That's a problem you need to solve.

Again, it's very telling that this only registers as a concern when the subject of mild inconveniences, such as not benefiting from the privilege of visiting some countries as tourists, is brought up.

It's also very telling that the only argument that's expressed in favour of dropping sanctions against Russia is this puerile expectation that Russian citizens should not be subjected to mild inconveniences. Aren't Ukrainians or Georgians entitled to the same expectations?
Yes, but these are more akin to bombings and not surgical strikes.

We’ll know more in the coming days on the impact, but I too feel uncomfortable even as someone who’s mostly supportive of Israel.
Zabbix is a good all-rounder.
My bad. I wasn't clear on how I define "speculation". When i use the term "speculation" i refer to things like buying up assets such as housing to extract more wealth from those assets or even to help drive the price up of said asset.

However, buying shares in a startup can be interpreted as "speculation" but I would see it as a good thing, so my choice of terms was not the best.

I dont see Blackrock or Blackstone buying up houses as a good thing. I see that as "speculation". But I realize now my definition of the term is much different from most other people.

I'm not. There are a large contingent of people on here who scream socialism/communism anytime you suggest the government do anything, even when it's demonstrably addressing an existing crisis that's skullfucking our society.

They'll probably downvote this one too because they really don't like when people point out their "objective" and "rational" thinking is neither of those things.

I once did a deep dive into some of the peer reviewed academic research on "supernatural phenomena" including papers on studying patterns in past life memories, and trying to externally verify the details of remembered past life events.

First, I was shocked that these things are researched academically, and have their own regular looking peer reviewed journals. A lot of the papers are from tenured professors at well known universities, often from divisions affiliated with a medical school like this one: https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/

Secondly, I was also shocked to find I could find no obvious flaws in the reasoning or methodology in the papers I looked at- despite the subject matter seeming to be something that is "obviously impossible" they followed standard scientific procedures, and supported their findings with the same level of care and rigor you'd expect from other fields. I suppose then that the obvious explanation is that these "standard procedures" are themselves flawed, but from just reading the paper, I could not spot the flaw.

I feel like 1:1 teacher and student discussions are required to be sure someone isn't cheating. With the benefit that each exam would be more enlightening than existing test setups.

They both sit together, they chat, answer questions and so on and the teacher gets a feel for "does this student have sufficient knowledge".

Frankly I think it would give teachers way better feel for such things than traditional testing does.

Granted, it would be time intensive, but I also suspect improved.

Congrats on completing a rather involving project. Accounting isn't easy, I know coze I got a degree in it, although haven't pursued a CPA: I make a lot more as software dev and competition is way lower. Like, for every software company a few accountants would do, while it takes hundreds of developers, QA, HR, IT and other stuff to run it.

But I digress. There's no shortage of accounting software, I know coze my wife works for a company selling one :) But to survive and succeed the key is not in the software per se as in support. Continuous support for all the dumbass questions the clients may ask and continuously updating the software to keep up with the incessant small changes in the legislation. Updates without which one cannot even submit a balance sheet to the IRS and are only available upon subscription.

Without those the software is dead in the water.

"Yes, that Pivotal."
If younger people in the same position were paid less, yes, that would be ageist. Nobody's arguing against that.

But, as you said, C-suite comps won't go down. Neither do VP comps. But the people rehired, oddly, are all younger. And that is ageist.

Not if they axe the position. Neither if it's in a single instance. But if, at scale, older people are fired, younger people are rehired, and comp doesn't change significantly - yeah, sorry, that's ageist.

There's a reason many companies instead offer folks a juicy "if you leave, have a chunk of money" package - they do want younger people for one reason or another (and I don't think it's fundamentally wrong to want a change) and this a way to do this in a way that does not discriminate.

IBM's leaning hard into being an asshole instead. There's a reason they've had reams of discrimination lawsuits. Significantly more than comparable companies. Let's not make excuses for them, they have lawyers for that.

All medical advice is inevitably biased by who doctor's see - not who they don't see. Pediatricians encountered peanut allergies, so they took action - cardiac patients appear with high blood pressure, so action is taken.

Advice appropriate for individuals entering a hospital for emergency care is likely inaccurate for the general population. Human anatomy is so immensely complex that it's unlikely that a recommendation based on averages will have positive outcomes for most individuals unless the effect size is extremely large. Bus accidents are still bad for everyone's health.

No, Pivotal Tracker did not invent this paradigm. For background, I started working around 2005.

Before tools like Tracker or JIRA, people who were doing agile development did everything with physical index cards. There was a lot of controversy even about digitizing those workflows back in the day - "we lose human connection and conversation by putting it in the machine!" Nobody has those conversations anymore as far as I'm aware.

Like others have mentioned on this thread, the true innovation of Tracker was to have a single view where stories are ordered vertically in a single column and grouped by status. This really changes the conversation around what is top priority. Everything can be urgent and have a high level of priority, but if you put something at the top, something else must shift down in compensation. No more doing that thing where there are five number one priorities at the same time.

The Agile view in Jira actually owes some inspiration to Tracker, if you can believe it. I know because I was there. I was a client on a Pivotal Labs project way back in the day, back when Tracker was still not publicly available, but only available to clients of Pivotal Labs. Our PM loved Tracker and wanted to use it but knew we could not get approval for it back home, all other teams were on JIRA. So our PM found a JIRA plugin called Greenhopper, tracked down the developer, and fed this person feedback to try and turn Greenhopper into the most Tracker-like thing possible. Greenhopper eventually got absorbed into Atlassian and turned into what is today known as Jira Agile.

Tracker felt like such an amazing breath of fresh air and forward looking technology at the time when it came out. Tracker used Ruby on Rails and did sexy AJAX stuff on the frontend (big wow factor back then, this was the age of IE6).

I loved Tracker for many years. I could sing its praises all day long. That said, the people who worked on the product had some philosophical things that got in the way of the product evolving. Reasonably, they did not want to turn into a huge enterprise tracking tool. Problem was, there were never any more features built into Tracker that really gave a good view for people who were higher level than the daily boots on the ground folks. So no good visualizations or features for projects where multiple teams must execute in tandem, and there are complex interdependencies between the teams. So while Tracker was awesome for the folks on the dev team, it wasn't very helpful for people in middle or upper management who needed birds-eye visibility easily and at a glance.

So although I am sad to see this announcement in a way I'm quite hopeful. There are so many people who love this tool and will miss it, now there's no excuse for them not to go build something better!
> The first two do not count, Israel did not even exist. They had nothing to offer, they wanted to take some of the land from the Arabs for their own state.

The Palestinian state also didn’t exist. Palestine was under British rule at the time, and prior to that they were ruled by the Ottomans, and prior to that they were ruled by Arab Caliphates and Christian crusaders, and before that the Romans.

That’s what makes the anti-Israel movement hypocritical. There have always Jews in Palestine, and in fact they predate the Arabs by centuries. And a Palestinian state would be just as much a modern creation as Israel is. The only way to legitimize a Palestinian state and delegitimize an Israeli one is a completely arbitrary set of rules. A two state solution is the only one that makes any sense of any kind.

This may be a hot take, but I love the un-usable for business licenses and the fun multiple lowest-to-highest paid worker and ethical restrictions (No use in weapons, for example) licenses, but not for their direct restrictions but rather because almost no large business will ever want to touch them, but small players and individuals don't care.

Those licenses let me say "This is open to the individual and small business, but not a mega corp" without actually needing to define a hard cut off.

Besides, it's not like most developers of FOSS software that use these have the time/money/energy to bother to sue over infringement anyway, so practically this is their main purpose.

> A decree to work remotely is also inherently anti-freedom it's just that you happen to like that anti-freedom outcome

Incorrect, and I'll explain why. Remote work DOES NOT imply anything about how, or where, you have to work.

You can commute to an office and work at an office with remote work. 100%, that is an option.

What remote work says is you can't FORCE people to come to an office for your own personal pleasure. This isn't anti-freedom, it's literally the opposite.

RTO has the opposite implication. You returning to office doesn't actually matter. You, personally, don't actually care about yourself in the office. You care about other people being in the office. Because the office itself has no value, it only has value if the other people are there.

This is why RTO is hard to swallow. Because a select few, like yourself, believe you have the right and privilege to dictate where everyone else should work, purely for your own benefit. Because you personally enjoy working in an office, you believe everyone should be forced to as well at your whim.

Your preference of collaboration relies on other people physically being where you want them to be. The same is not true for WFH. If you disagree, I encourage you to go to the office by yourself. You'll quickly realize you don't care for the office, you care for forcing people to be in the office with you.
> that applying for jobs on LinkedIn and other job listing sites is GIGANTIC waste of time unless you already have a connection in the company you are applying for.

In my experience, that's not my case. I found my last 2 jobs by applying to a post in linkedin... but I also contacted the recruiter that posted the job ad via DM. In my whole career (+10 years) I've never relied on my "network" to get a job (mainly because I don't have one).
Physical newspapers lost money on printing and distribution. Subscription fees and purchase price did not cover the cost of printing and distributing that bundle of paper. The vast majority of their income was from ads. So your argument is really even worse with that in mind - physical newspapers were more dependent on ads than internet websites. And even with that in mind, I don't think anyone would say having a robot cutting out newspaper ads to be stealing.
> I can talk about concepts like "atoms" or "bacteria" or "black holes" with anyone, and they'll know what they are - even if their knowledge of those subjects isn't in depth.

I'm not convinced this is an unalloyed good. Knowing that a disease is caused by "bacteria" instead of "demons" isn't really helpful if you don't have a deep understanding of exactly what bacteria is. See, for example, all of the people who want antibiotics whenever they're sick for any reason. We've just replaced one set of weird beliefs in the general populace with another and given it a veneer of science.

Specifically in relation to picking up technologies. Unless you are working on something highly specialized, I am not sure your situation calls for such desperation.

> Which means that the wealthy and powerful often live in a fear-based reality, while the poor often live in a love-based reality.

You are romanticizing the poor. Certain societies have more family and community oriented lifestyles. Not because they are poor but because they have a cultural predisposition and a tradition. Poverty is not full of love, financial abundance is not full of fear.

Fair, if you are criticizing me for just being a gripe. I welcome more data, so I am decidedly not trying to say we should toss this. We also exposed our kids to peanuts at an early age, so I am generally aligned with the new guidance.

I'm largely tilting at the windmill of "tone" in a lot of these stories. It sounds like a solved thing far moreso than I am comfortable with.

I am also interested in details. Did the parents that avoided peanuts actively choose a common replacement?

I'm also curious if this generalizes well to other allergies. In particular, knowing that consumption of peanuts is also an extremely American thing, what are the common major allergies in other nations and do they have the same trends?
