I am so excited for the prospect of mRNA treatments, especially in the field of auto immune conditions like multiple sclerosis. Those scientists are heroes.

Would like to wish everyone health and happiness on this most greatest of days!

Mon ami, please don’t equate us (IE) with the British.

Is anyone here experiencing this? It must be really tough.

Seems like a lot of work for what it is

Is clubhouse suitable for deaf people? Eg auto transcription?

Thank you so much. I bit the bullet and bought an M1 Mac but I’ve been really missing a Linux VM for hackthebox etc and was having to route through a Dropbox droplet. This should solve my issue

Is that in staten island?

Oh man, this is amazing news. I am surprised at how much promise mRNA has! Let’s hope it will not be too long before awful conditions like MS are consigned to history.

I use i.Reddit.com, much better

That is a lovely story. He does come across as a genuinely good guy.

I am deaf too and I echo the sentiments of the article. I’ve found Microsoft teams vital for me as it has auto captions enabled. Zoom doesn’t have this, so we have shifted away from using zoom completely.

Back in pre covid times, customer calls were done in a room over a conference speaker phone. I would be totally lost and would need to rely on my colleagues to help.

With Microsoft teams, I can run customer calls myself, relying on the captions (and the patience of the customer).

Massive thanks to Microsoft for spearheading accessibility. I hope you guys see this.

Beauty queens can be scientists too, you need to check yourself.

Otherwise known as DSL?

They are slow off the mark here

A timely link given there is a current discussion on the trouble with extracting meaningful text from pdfs in another thread on the front page! I look forward to reading the feedback on actual use of this

Whew, Microsoft really escaped something there. I don’t think tiktok would have been a good fit for microsoft.

They are an even worse fit for oracle.

Incredible poet. This poem is so sad:

Mid-Term Break BY SEAMUS HEANEY I sat all morning in the college sick bay Counting bells knelling classes to a close. At two o'clock our neighbours drove me home.

In the porch I met my father crying— He had always taken funerals in his stride— And Big Jim Evans saying it was a hard blow.

The baby cooed and laughed and rocked the pram When I came in, and I was embarrassed By old men standing up to shake my hand

And tell me they were 'sorry for my trouble'. Whispers informed strangers I was the eldest, Away at school, as my mother held my hand

In hers and coughed out angry tearless sighs. At ten o'clock the ambulance arrived With the corpse, stanched and bandaged by the nurses.

Next morning I went up into the room. Snowdrops And candles soothed the bedside; I saw him For the first time in six weeks. Paler now,

Wearing a poppy bruise on his left temple, He lay in the four-foot box as in his cot. No gaudy scars, the bumper knocked him clear.

A four-foot box, a foot for every year.

What an excellent write up.

I hope Slack review the payment and give you a bit more.

I am the OP and the way this normally works is that we would speak out if someone did something in the wrong way, for example a step in a process was forgotten. It’s better to step in (ha) and help out and make the suggestion of how to fix it.

But to write out constructive feedback which goes against your colleagues record, so that they have to show how they received this feedback and the steps they did to remedy it, seems a bit much.

For example, how do I know that a certain piece of feedback might be really difficult/impossible for you to fix and then you lose out on a %age salary increase or promotion because of it?

I can’t write ‘mr x could really work on coming to work earlier’, as that’s not my job. What if I write ‘mr x. would have been better to use x pattern in his development because ...’, as that would mean I have oversight of how they are doing their work and I haven’t spoken up in time. Which seems crazy.

If you are doing something wrong or something that can be improved, I would prefer to tell you point in time, and when the context is right.

To leave ‘constructive feedback’ against your personal record removes a lot of context, and has the potential to damage your career and our relationship.

I don’t like it!

I hate the fact that in my current role, I am expected to give my colleagues ‘constructive feedback’.

It seems like a minefield , when I am trying to focus on my own role, that I have to negotiate the feelings of a colleague as I leave feedback on them. I’d prefer to leave only positive feedback, but what my boss wants is that I need to find an improvement that my colleague has to make. I don’t like it.

Massively helpful to me, a deaf person.

Do you mean to say we in Western Europe are wearing masks and have it right?

Here, we are also struggling to get the message across that it needs to be worn.

Does anyone’s jaw click? I can make the right side click at will. I think it’s off aligned. It’s not sore but I think it must be common enough that someone knows the cause?

You know someone’s a wanker if you see Parler on their phone. Could be useful in this way.

Cool write up! It reminds me of the amateur osint that was carried out after Donald Trump showed the aerial photo of the Iranian power facility (iirc) and people were able to work out the exact coordinates and flight path of the satellite that took the photo from using the shadows on the ground. Amazing.

The tbragg account seems to be a student?

This is shocking! You spend about $700 a month just to be woken up?

I can’t get my head round this at all.

Yep, that’s the one

The power plant at Natantz in Iran was physically separate. Zero Day is a great documentary on that attack.
