US americans are already spending the money that funds that R&D. One possible solution that occurs to me just now (and is therefore very half baked) is that there must be a way they could continue to spend that money to fund research, while also having a functioning medical safety net
I could have been fully remote, but I wanted to be in the office most days because I liked the routine and liked talking to the people who did want to come in. And my commute was short.
I would have to zoom most people on my team for meetings anyway because they live all over the world. (This is, btw, a good thing: it means we had people working on the project 24/7, each with access to different resources. I was online with the video team and could ping them with any questions, my teammate +8 hours away was online with the majority of infra folks and could get extra support with deployments. etc)
If you have to zoom people anyway, why would it matter whether they live near you and decided to stay home, or live on another continent?
I got both benefits of:
1. Getting to be social in person with other likeminded people
and 2. Having happier teammates who didn't have to sacrifice 3 hours every day commuting and were that much more alert and efficient for it.
When a workplace or organisation is capable of 3 day office / 2 day remote working - it is (or should) be capable of fully remote working.
Pretending that there is a functional business requirement for 6 of the 10 person team to be doing the morning call from their office desks as opposed to their home desks is dishonest at best.
Embrace the reality and the benefits you yourself see and create working spaces that are better than someones sitting alone in a spare bedroom.
>"The overall incidence of myopericarditis from 22 studies (405 272 721 vaccine doses) was 33·3 cases (95% CI 15·3–72·6) per million vaccine doses, and did not differ significantly between people who received COVID-19 vaccines (18·2 [10·9–30·3], 11 studies [395 361 933 doses], high certainty) and those who received non-COVID-19 vaccines (56·0 [10·7–293·7], 11 studies [9 910 788 doses], moderate certainty, p=0·20). Compared with COVID-19 vaccination, the incidence of myopericarditis was significantly higher following smallpox vaccinations (132·1 [81·3–214·6], p<0·0001) but was not significantly different after influenza vaccinations (1·3 [0·0–884·1], p=0·43) or in studies reporting on various other non-smallpox vaccinations (57·0 [1·1–3036·6], p=0·58). Among people who received COVID-19 vaccines, the incidence of myopericarditis was significantly higher in males (vs females), in people younger than 30 years (vs 30 years or older), after receiving an mRNA vaccine (vs non-mRNA vaccine), and after a second dose of vaccine (vs a first or third dose)."
the big ones are also global companies who operate in many countries (and cooperate with many countries' law enforcement).
For me, the better metaphor is to think of them as virtual governments of virtual territories
This seems like a better analogy than "private companies", but then where does that lead you in terms of how they should be treated? No snark here, genuine question.
Who cares that it’s legal though? You’re on their property, committed to abiding by their terms of service even.
If you’re hosting a garden party and one of the guests has become disruptive to everyone else, are you not allowed to demand they cease their behavior or leave your property just because their angry ranting is not illegal speech?
You’re totally within your right to say “I’m out, this party sucks anyway, you guys don’t want to have honest debate” but it’s a little absurd to force the property owner to allow you to stick around when you are no longer welcome.
Actually, Florida doesn't own the property of the private citizens whether its the network fiber, routers, or buildings which contain these items. If you can't justify such a capricious law then maybe your intention is malicious?
Do you feel the same way about telephones? How about electricity? Is it out of the realm of possibility that a conscientious electrical supplier might not want to power a racist's computer?
Electricity is analogous to the the road that you traveled on to the way to the party.
> Is it out of the realm of possibility that a conscientious electrical supplier might not want to power a racist's computer?
Isn’t this the case that these same people are making for why ISPs should NOT be neutral, even though they’re much more like electricity and roads than private garden parties?
And both Ukraine and Russia say they are being attacked.
I think there is real bias (and in the West it's more biased against conservatives and some minority groups while it's different elsewhere, depends mostly on the dominant ideology) and there's faux discrimination to get victim points to trade in for control.
They aren't actual animals that we have to approach scientifically; it's better to look at them through a literary lense.
I personally assumed they were intelligent. I thought the game was making an attempt to draw parallels to the way real life colonialists dehumanazed the native people.
You could definitely read them as being more inspired by scifi aliens like the zerg, though. It is a very common trope for zerg/flood/bugger style aliens to be initially percieved as lacking higher intelligence, but twist they're actually as smart or smarter than humans. But that's not necessarily the case in factorio (afaik, I never got to the endgame). If they aren't intelligent, how does that cast the player's actions? I guess it puts you more in the role of being harassed by wolves?
shrug Sure I guess one can take any interpretation. My point was more that I think it doesn't make any sense to do so. I've played hundreds of games over the years where you kill, murder and maim humans (and animals, and alien life forms). I just don't think there's any interesting philosophical consquence to it, nor any interesting parallels to real life behaviour.
Iirc correctly there is a factorio blig post somewhere about this exact topic, with the original author basically saying 'meh it's just a game mechanic'.
Then again, there's the stardew valley author removing pig butchering from the game for sort of similar concerns, so what do I know.
Similar to other 3rd party signins, you get redirected to an apple signin form, and then redirected back.
Disclaimer: opinion/ venting my personal frustration ahead
Apple's implementation of the OAuth flow is incomplete (even compared to what their documentation says is possible) and buggy. We've found it very frustrating to work with. This may be one reason that widespread adoption of apple signin is taking a while.
Of course I expect the issues will be resolved with time
Oh hey! The first photo includes Gary Brannan from the youtube show Technical Difficulties. For those unfamiliar, it's a gameshow run by educational youtuber Tom Scott, whose videos regularly make it on HN.
The science done in the article is fine science. Drawing parallels between the models is good and not woo
The question that started this thread is:
>Aren't quantum effects supposed to disappear in the macroscopic world
Which is just a straightforward misreading of the article.
Nobody is trying to "supress an actual scientific discovery" they are trying to clarify what has actually been discovered.
