Here's an analogy, most people here are allergic to Trump. It would be the same to have blocked US people because Trump got elected.

What is the purpose of isolating the abuse victim from the rest of the world?

Actions like these benefit Putin more than to harm him. If the Russian people are isolated from the rest of the world they'll be less likely do to anything about their oppressive regime.

Have you researched into .NET Core Function Apps?

Somebody is enthusiastic about dying in a nuclear war.

Maybe, I've noticed that most females prefer the hug greet over a handshake greet.

So what other compiled languages would be an improvement to .NET's ones?

But that is what the paper says, or am I reading it wrong? That is having a case of Covid that leads to hospitalization will also put you at 30 to 60 times more likely to have a heart-disease.

You mean getting past the resume/application stage?

Applied for their site a while back, but was put on hold because there were too many applicants. Have yet to get a response from them. Meanwhile got the job I was looking for, without any mock interview sites.

I have a few medical problems that aren't solvable with current technology, seeing articles like these related to my issue gets me excited and hopeful that I'll be cured one day.

And as an engineer it brings attention to me that there are companies solving these problems that I could work for to speed up the effort.

I see it differently, I think articles like are important by making people aware of solutions like these which will speed up the time needed to get them to people not as fortunate to have access to them now. More awareness means more people will work towards making the solution, lowering their cost.

Is 32k net or gross?

I've been looking to move to Canada (vs moving to US due to more sane social services like healthcare and pension system), is what you are describing present all over Canada or just in some parts of it?

Canada's birth-rate is bellow what is necessary to sustain or grow the population. Without immigration Canada's population would be shrinking.

If you think it is bad now, imagine how bad would it be if the majority of the population was in retirement. Sustaining a pension scheme (or a healthy economy for pension funds) becomes very hard, plus all of the services required to keep the society running would be greatly reduced.

Canada's immigration system seems one of the better I've looked into, skills, language, education and job offer all have to be accounted to get in.

> Communication is a complex business

That is an understatement.

> JR is deceptive not because everything he says taken in isolation is false

I understand at what you are getting at, words at face value don't mean much, context is everything. However, listening to JR I never get a feeling that I'm being intentionally deceived.

The falsehoods he believes seem to me to be a genuine lack of awareness on his parts, the fact that he changes opinions when confronted with the fact what he said was bullshit gives me trust that he is not out to deceive me.

If he's framing X doctor as best in the field because of Y achievements is because the average Joe would also believe that as well. And the fact that he has corrected some statements made by the past two controversial guests, regarding Covid, is the reason why I trust he's not deceiving with some agenda. Unlike with most mainstream media where I am always trying to figure out the underlying agenda of every statement made from the hosts.

> JR sold his catalog of intellectual property

Not entirely correct, it is a licensing deal, with exclusivity to Spotify. JR is still the owner of the IP, however, it can only be distributed through Spotify.

But your point still stands, Spotify chooses what they will distribute, which is okay.

My only gripe, in this whole Spotify/Rogan saga, is with the mainstream media that sees Rogan as a threat to their business model so they try to slander him for miss-information, while being greater purveyors of miss-information themselves.

Unlikely, most of the guests that were removed have other appearances on show that are still up, and most of them are his friends and long time supporters.

What is more likely is that they have controversial bit or two on them so they got flagged. There are episodes that have Joe Rogan say the N-word (not directed towards anyone and in-context, something he addressed today) could be that it was these episodes that were removed.

Cancer probably not. But for me it does mess up the digestion process and causes some stool problems.

Touché.

Not really true, I develop .NET Core apps on Linux only. Migrated from Windows to actual Linux because of the simplicity.

[0] might be relevant to you, seen other papers that I found when I discovered this issue. From what I gathered the reason for this is that metformin reduces blood cholesterol levels which are important for testosterone production.

[0]: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11707532/

Metformin is not ideal for some if not most men. It wipes out testosterone levels.

After a few weeks of taking it my T levels were below average and free-T levels were that of 100 year old men. This was a huge drop from the above average levels, for men in 20s, that I usually have.

Glassdoor does it for me. Most reviews have a bias towards negativity (those with hard feelings will usually take the time to let everyone know), so if the reviews are extra negative it is a good sign to steer clear.

Reddit and HackerNews for more larger companies.

Also, recently discovered a Chinese language forum 1point3acrees where there is some real candid talk about the larger/FAANG companies and their offices around the world.

That is one way of looking at it, the other is why force yourself to suffer if neither you nor anyone around you is at threat from the virus.

My threat model is different, everyone around me is healthy and young--with I myself being the only one with a chronic condition leaving me more vulnerable to Covid but still no that much--locking myself would be more unhealthy.

I don't see it as selfish, I'm not forcing anyone who is at risk to take the risks I am taking. They can stay at home for as long as they want, it is their life after all.

Communist China and the Soviets would like to disagree.

Sterilizing your environment might be actually counterproductive for your immune system. A better strategy is eat more healthy and do moderate exercises, especially during flu season.

Eventually you will come in to contact with a virus, unless you plan to remove all contact with people and animals.

More likely, you've had contact with it but it did not cause any symptoms.

I don't think it is possible to avoid Coronavirus at this point. Unless someone had barricaded themselves in for the past 2 years they are likely to have had contact with the virus at this point.

> So ignoring the tvs, computers, holidays, cars, healthcare and all the things that we cannot compare and comparing what we can, it is obvious that just to live in 2021 we need more money that what we are making and so it is easy to see how most people feel that the living standards have gone down.

The thing is, you can live today without all of that and your living costs would be comparable to Christie's. A house without electricity, centralized heating, safety regulations of today will cost far less to rent, if you can find one that is. Today's housing comes batteries included with all of that so it will be more expensive. People might feel their standards of living going down but if they were to spend a week in a 1919 house they'd be much more grateful.

You're right, a HN comment doesn't do this subject any justice. Even a book might not be enough, as I have learned dealing with this issue for the past 5 years.

I wanted to refute that eating when hungry is ideal, it lead me to eating more often every day, eventually I was eating huge portions every 2 hours which resulted in insulin resistance.

Eating when you feel/are hungry can lead you into obesity or insulin resistance. The more you eat the stronger your cravings are and sooner you will be hungry.

Quenching fake hunger with a glass of water and eating more healthy will break this cycle.
