That's kind of the point, no? Context matters - and part of who is saying it is context.

"A 1% rise in inflation rate was associated with significant deteriorations (p<0.05) in 4 population health outcomes, with the largest deterioration in male adult mortality rate (0.0033 rise per 1000 deaths)."

I'm not going to make the argument that more people in the US will die b/c of inflation than the war in Ukraine: that is really insensitive.

I'm just highlighting the fallacy of "oh some people have it worse, you can't complain!"

When you include the reduced life expectancy of people in Ukraine due to war it will be a lot higher :(

Without even extrapolating to higher inflation rates, I think this works out to an additional 10k deaths due to inflation?

I would not call this a "small bump" and I am the opposite of the "sky is falling due to inflation!" crowd - just trying to be grounded. It is a fairly big bump.

I'm sure there are lots of reasons. Another big reason is real estate. There is a lot of money tied up in these properties.

You do see the difference between saying gay people should die and being gay right? Lol

Yeah I don't understand how people don't understand this. If I were to go outside your house and lay on my horn for a few days I'd expect to get arrested.

Free speech has nothing to do with it.

Freedom of speech ends IMO when people can't sleep or enjoy the city they live in for a very extended time b/c of the 24/7 honking.

I am all for demonstrating, but I think it is a little ridiculous what they are doing.

How is this different from websockets? They will eventually close for various reasons, sometimes in not obvious ways.

annualized return is annualized return, his strategy gave him < 9% annualized return and that is being generous, saying he's invested for 4 years not 5.

if you look at SPX returns over the last four years, 2018 was a negative year but each year after was between 16% and 28%. also 2017 was over 19%.

I'm not upper management. Most upper management gets paid way too much for the value they bring.

But, when you have the opportunity to work under an excellent CEO or CTO you will learn that they do bring 10x or even 100x the value you bring to the team.

It would be more difficult to read and maintain any solution to many problems where you are operating on nested objects, especially if the nesting is more than a few levels deep or even arbitrarily deep, without using recursion. Also generating such objects, such as with nested parentheses, is easier as well.

I think the impression I had from the article is the author was somehow proud of not knowing things. It's fine not to know things, and it's good to understand there will be countless things you'll never know, and probably even better to be comfortable with understanding that you don't need to know everything, but something about being proud of not knowing something - where it is a badge of honor? - feels weird.

I wish I had a more of a drive to learn new things, more often than I do now. I don't like feeling like I'd be okay with never wanting to learn new things.

Huge problem in the US is we allowed important parts of the country to deteriorate in various ways.

> I can see using Django to rapidly prototype some kind of CRUD app, but on the other hand, you could just use Wordpress for that. Flask seems like it would be a superior platform for engineering anything non-trivial, especially if you care about how it works.

I feel like I'm replying a lot in this thread!

I think it's the other way around. If you want to QUICKLY prototype something, use Flask: it's light weight, and your app will _literally_ be one hundred-line file + some templates.

If you know you're going to use much of the common Django tools, use Django. Django projects are usually harder to spin up in my experience.

I wouldn't relate Django to Wordpress at all. It'd be tough to get a Wordpress type platform from scratch in Django OR Flask.

An interview can be positive and not lead to a job.

I went on a lot of interviews (maybe close to 100) before starting my own business, and I'd say at least 9/10 of them were very positive.

By positive: I felt we both left the interview a bit happier than we went in. We both had a legitimate good time, and enjoyed it. It wasn't a grind, both people got to know each other.

I'd say I had a 10% offer rate. The most common "why didn't you select me?" follow up answer I got was "we need someone who is an expert in XYZ language." Sometimes it was even that they need someone who is an expert in ABC library (when I was already pretty-much an expert in the language.)

The ones that did lead to job offers I didn't want after the interview.

The other 1/10 was because they had me take an IQ test, or do some really super long project, or meet with literally all 20 people in the company, or they made me sit in the lobby for 2 hours past the meeting time.
