What are you talking about?

The people who do the list of tasks you described are literally the HR team.

Regardless of what you call that group of people; that’s your HR team.

This is the answer. This comment could have replaced that entire medium article and saved us all a lot of time.

Ok, you've convinced me that this isn't a troll account like it originally appeared. Can you elaborate on your proposal to have pharma companies run drug rehab programs and "partner with publishers" rather than have libraries run as they do?

If these numbers hold up, this could be a game changer.

I had the exact same problem! One child and then twins, we measured our old SUV wrong and realized the night before the twins were born that we couldn't fit all our kids in one car. I was shopping for a minivan from the hospital :)

That’s fair. But you are just proving my point. This research was dismissed out of hand, it wasn’t actually engaged with to see if it’s a correct assessment or not. That seems to happen whenever any sort of soft science research is posted here. There is a contingent of folks that seems to believe soft science is an oxymoron and therefore shouldn’t even be tried.

I think skepticism is warranted, but dismissiveness is not. Honestly it's a little offensive.

Also, in this case their findings aren't even counter intuitive or that surprising. They are just measuring something that most of use believe already (judging by the rest of these comment threads).

I find this response overly dismissive. Did you read the paper or just the abstract?

Dismissing the work of marketing professors out of hand isn't the right approach. What if this is one of the half of psychology papers that do replicate?

Ding Ding. This is exactly it. Mostly people don't understand the economic model of fast growth SaaS companies, even when working for one. Thanks for explaining it so clearly.

Does anything know if other countries have the same levels of conspiracy theory belief as the United States? I've tried to research this and largely come up empty.

Even thought this is good news, I don't think it'll do much about getting us back to normal life. The high sensitivity rate they report is after "symptom onset."

We really need a test with a high sensitivity rate for presymptomatic and asymptomatic carriers to make a big difference day to day.

Certainly a step in the right direction, but only a step.

Agreed, it feels like this was in response to something that I never read.

Did you read this article? There are now 4 cases (all in one family), after 102 days without any. They are reinstating restrictions for 3 days so authorities can properly do contact tracing.

Of course pandemic isn't over, but I think some level of self congratulation is appropriate.

Once you filter out pieces of junk, bikes that don't fit my specific height and aren't within an hour drive, that list unfortunately gets a lot smaller. I expect that filtering to become more relaxed as time goes on though. :)

Can confirm; I've been trying to find a sub $1k mountain bike in Southern California for a week without luck.

No, the mother was trying to comfort her child, who was in agony.

"But this time really is different." Sigh...

Soo, several dozen out of 1600? Like .3% of their workforce?

Not sure this is newsworthy.

This is not true. "In 2010, the population of the states which have shoreline on the East Coast was estimated at 112,642,503 (36% of the country's total population). "

This was a very clever comment, and I don't think most folks understood it.

"What happens when the lawless mob and criminals want to break and enter your home and take your things and burn down your life?"

Uhm what? Is this a common problem in your life?

If this question is asked seriously, here is a serious answer:

As much as I like this illustration, where is heart disease, cancer and traffic deaths? I believe COVID is a serious enough threat to the world without having to cherry pick data to prove it.

Yes, you are correct. I meant .5% IFR

If we need 70% of the US population to get infected to reach herd immunity, and COVID has an infection fatality rate of .05%; this will kill about 1.2 Million people.

I, for one, am hopeful that we can get through this without that many deaths.

This is not even a remotely correct reading of what happened here.

Where you have you been for the last 4 years.

I doubt it. The alternative is selling software for a high one time license fee, and that's even harder right now.

(i.e. Those clients going bankrupt aren't buying anything from anyone, it's not about the specific model).

Or, you know. Breaking the law.

This is great news, I'm glad the Mr. Gates has decided to orient his foundation and efforts towards this. If we as a society don't get our arms around this pandemic, the other things Mr. Gates cares won't be solved either.

In my area at least, they do have something similar to this now called Fast & Flexible.
