For me it never loads on Android Chrome.

At some of these companies, vests happen monthly (at least, after the first year). It's effectively cash, adding 200k+ annually to a salary of 200+.

What I'm inferring from this truly bizarre thread is that some people assume that clarifying questions are always fronts for hidden motivations (such as springing "gotchas" or getting into debates). It might be worthwhile to consider that not all people operate that way.

If he felt that he had to "get out in time," then he knew he did something "wrong" in the sense that my parent is (presumably) asking about. That's the only question I'm answering. You seem intent on drawing me into a debate about subtleties of moral and legal ethics, but I'm sorry to say I'm not interested right now.

I'm not sure why you're asking me that. I made it clear from my comment that there's a distinction between legal and moral "wrong," and I described the unlikelihood that he didn't know it was the former. That's all.

Do you have different (or more) info?

In case it's not obvious from what others have said, doing QM on observables with discrete spectra looks very different from that on continuous spectra. Different mathematical tools are helpful in each case.

Do you mean morally or legally? It's hard to imagine a Google engineer not knowing that sharing trade secrets is something their employer would seriously frown upon, no?

Pretty sure that guy's Japanese.

Maybe this is obvious and not what you are asking, but he's just saying that if you increase your unit of measurement by a factor of X, then the number of such units that comprise your object decreases by the same factor.

(Also, this quote is from the Terry Tao blog post that dang links below, not the OP, right?)

Never finishes loading for me.

Difference from what? Even different municipalities have vastly different tastes from each other.

(That said, it's never bothered me to drink tap water wherever I go, and acclimate quickly. I think the bottled water trend is insane.)

But can't a doc insist on a hospital stay following the emergency, which then isn't covered by insurance as an emergency?

By "insist," I mean that leaving would be against medical advice -- and I know some insurance will refuse to pay for the preceding stay.

I wish this stuff weren't so hard to make sense of.

That's insane. I hand-check my root certs at least twice a day.

Interesting. In the few states I looked, there were no PPO plans (including by BCBS). As for hospitals, I guess it's important to know which hospitals are in network near home and anywhere you might be traveling?

Usually in an emergency I don't have the presence of mind to direct the ambulance to the right hospital (in case the emergency turns into an overnight stay), and it's all the more important if the plan doesn't have good (or any) out of network benefits.

The other problem is that ACA plans are garbage compared to group plans, with no out of state or out of network coverage available. If you end up needing a hospital stay, you could be in trouble if the "wrong" doctors do a drive-by.

Indeed! Given the effort and knowledge put into the question, the obvious answer seemed too... obvious for this poster to not already know it. I thought I must be missing something!

I'm asking specifically about the "other reply" you mentioned.

The other reply mentions that cash is not a good way to help such people, not that they shouldn't be helped. Are you sure you're not reading things into people's replies?

What do you suppose their "agenda" is, other than encouraging you not to be condescendingly dismissive of a whole group based on your limited sample size?

Those lights (like most lights) give off a broad range of frequencies. The blue / violet parts that humans can see are by definition not "ultra"violet (beyond the visible spectrum). Even if we could see those frequencies, not much would be needed to explain it other than it helps us see certain things / under certain conditions better.

This comment chain is getting circular. We can't use this as an example for itself by assuming that it is true.

Ten or fifteen years ago, I sang the old Hindi classic "Kisi Ki Muskarahaton Pe" (not particularly well) into Midomi, and it nailed it immediately. One of the most delightful tech experiences I've ever had, comparable to my experience with ChatGPT. Today's Google search first suggests a medley (which presumably contains the song), and then a related song, and only the third option is correct. I also had to try twice.

I can totally see why that song in particular scratched that itch. It definitely has a nostalgic vibe to it (independently of my having grown up with it, I feel).

Sounds amazing! Would love to hear about your stories and learnings should you ever choose to write about them :)

Except for a small handful of Waldorf schools, there seem to be precious few schools that will give my son significant outdoor time. In fact, I'm told that WA state won't even accredit fully outdoor schools (though I haven't checked this myself).

That really saddens me. From one perspective, nature is dying because nobody can be bothered to notice her (and thereby care about/for her) any more.

Do you really think the way someone thinks is just a brand? That the ability to think mathematically is... a religion? I think our worldviews are too far apart for us to make sense to each other here.

Surely you can see the difference between having domain expertise and having association with a particular brand?

Right, but it's a self-perpetuating process. It's not happening just top-down, but cyclically. The people "at the top" are also caught in the same system. Jeff Bezos isn't just trying to sell you stuff; he really believes that having more stuff is better. That's what the parent meant by "self-manipulating."
