Problem: my team is decided in two: Corona A and Corona B, each working alternate days (m w f and t t). How many extra hours should I make Corona A work in exchange for them getting FOUR DAY WEEKENDS for the last two months!
how can we streamline the transfer of knowledge from the oldest, wisest, individuals on the cutting edge of their field to the youngest, most ambitious sponge-like individuals just starting out their careers?
I built an MVP to solve this at a hackathon: https://devpost.com/software/oravise
anyone interested in collaborating?

This has a big flaw. If the future visitors copy all passwords to a usb stick and take it with them then anyone in the present time that gets a copy can pretend to be from the future. Worse still, everyone would believe the phoney future visitors without question.
Do you think they'd still be using USB drives and bothering to keep track of antique passwords in the future?
I’m working on a new way to talk online, with the goal of killing cancel culture, increasing understanding, and basically calming down current radicalization. Picture Reddit, but with the ability to anonymously share ideas with other people in your social circles. My theory is that most reasonable people stay off social media, so places like Twitter end up filled with unreasonable narcissists. At the same time, discu…
I have a fully working Webapp, mobile app, dB and REST API from a project I worked on when lockdown started that I lost interest in scaling but I’ll make the repos public and edit this comment later with the links if they can help you out with this.
Document software design 10x better. The foundation is flowcharts, with support for individual layers distinguishing levels of abstraction, and scenarios for exploring use-cases. From there: - Live data. We look at metrics on dashboards but it doesn't put into perspective how they relate to each other. Imagine seeing on your flowchart of servers, that one worker has an anomalous CPU reading, and you can click into th…
It's still used in lab environments.

Going to gym, eating salad, skipping lunch
Can you expand on what you do at the gym and when you started your most recent routine? As always, abs are made in the kitchen. See: skinny folk

Skipping meals doesn't help you lose weight in most cases. Your body optimizes for the expectation of not having food and stores more energy. Eating smaller, filling meals helps more. I actually don't know of anyone who's lost weight from salads. Usually they're just left feeling hungry and usually add dressing to compensate (which just gives you completely unfilling calories).
Simply put, earning a living. I didn't travel the conventional path of high school > university > job, and so I'm struggling to get my shit together, the concept of earning a living (outside of making minimum wage) is so foreign to me that I really don't know how I'm going to do it in a reasonable (< 5 years) amount of time.

> permanent Can you give an example of incorrect permanent punishment? Sacco found a job almost immediately. The truck driver may have a more difficult time, but not because this event will follow him, but because the labor market at the moment is shitty. (And to be clear here I'm not saying what happened to him was right or just). > The problem is that it isn't so cut and dry. Sure but now we're in a very fuzzy area…
The story about Wadi from https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/stop-firin... is pretty horrible. I mean they all are, but maybe it’s the most clear permanent damage.
However even if we assume the worst outcome in that situation, the negative impacts of cancel culture are tame compared to a lot of other systems. If we're calling for an end to cancel culture due to the one case of permanent damage, why aren't we calling for an end of the US justice system which, on a daily basis, causes far more permanent and far more cases of damage?
And this is sort of whataboutism, but lots of the recent concern about cancel culture, at least that I've seen, is from mostly upper class, mostly non-black and latino, mostly well educated people. Their concern has been that they'll be cancelled if they don't support recent protests enough or in the right way.
So we have two systems of justice, one that unjustly kills innocent people on the daily, and one that might end up closing down a single restaurant whose owner was innocent. Why are we focusing our energy on dismantling the second system over the first?
