thrown321··on Too Many Pets, Not Enough Vets. Veterinary services are on the verge of collapse
This is how insurance starts... to many customers, prices escalate and then they band together for guaranteed prices.

sounds like a good reason to get pet insurance.
thrown321··on “Why I'm Giving Up Tenure at UCLA”
Have you ever heard the one about the missionary and the tiger?
thrown321··on School’s out for summer and many teachers are calling it quits
Just like any business if you want a kid to get a good education, live in a school district that is growing.
thrown321··on Theranos former president found guilty on all fraud counts
Only cause he offered them free rent.
thrown321··on Joint Address by MI5 and FBI Heads Regarding China
Have any economists done the study? It would be interesting to see. Maybe a PhD or two in this area.

You find yourself on a slippery slope. What do you next? <nlp answers only>
thrown321··on Homeland security workers indicted in scheme to silence China critics in U.S.
caveat emptor.
thrown321··on Incidence of Myocarditis and Pericarditis in Post Covid-19 Unvaccinated Patients
did they include a third control of not vaccinated and not covid positive? i.e. baseline incidence? 50% of cases are idiopathic pre-covid.

I see H1B business analyst which is an LCA category recruiters are classified in.

This is just nonsense. Once the stock vests it is yours. Now an official SEC blackout period is different. And if you are privy to insider information then yes you can be restricted but again it is the SEC that enforces this.

Isnt that the definition of front running?
thrown321··on Twitter Layoff Started Today
That only applies to higher management, who would know of impending layoffs.

I thought etrade had given up commissions and instead just front runs the trades..

Hey man McDonald’s takes Alipay!

They can’t if you own them. Obviously the creditor can’t collect until the blackout is over but that can be written into the loan agreement. Those shares are your property. Insider trading is a sec thing, separate.

Lots of HR roles in there which is usually where recruiters are positioned. Unless you are saying all twitter recruiters on payroll are US citizens or permanent residents. Be sure to search all years.

The SEC won’t do shit in this case with respect to your personal shares in a company you just left.

h1binfo will capture prevailing wages.

You should look at it the SF Bay Area affordable housing income requirements. You’d be surprised how many tech families qualify.

Regular folks are not insiders. You can certainly pledge collateral for a loan.
thrown321··on Covid-19 vaccine doses, once in high demand, now thrown away
Infections are bad because the virus transmits. The virus is capable of mutating to evade the immune response. Future variants may also attack different body systems. For example, it looks like BA.5 reverts back to the lungs vs the original omicron variant.

Also, it is quite unfortunate that we now have evidence that multiple acute covid infections may cause long lasting health problems.

thrown321··on Covid-19 vaccine doses, once in high demand, now thrown away
Unfortunately the evidence is that prior omicron infection does not prevent BA.4 and BA.5 infection.
thrown321··on Ask HN: Is attitude more important than knowledge?
It's simple. You just need to sell something someone wants. That's the only thing that matters. Your education and skills should help you identify things that you can sell that people need and are willing to pay good money for.
thrown321··on Alain de Botton on existential maturity and what emotional intelligence means
It’s been really interesting to watch Hacker News grow up. We spent a long time in adolescent Randianism and have slowly been moving towards a more nuanced understanding of life.
thrown321··on What Is Machine Learning Anyway?
I find these definitions funny…. how statisticians vs computer scientists define machine learning differently. You get two different perspectives. Everyone wants to claim AI for themselves. I think the statisticians are pissed off that DNNs works so well.

Anyway least we forget: Neural networks came from cybernetics!

thrown321··on Ask HN: First-time dad-to-be. What do you wish you'd known back then?
Enjoy every moment. Kids grow up fast. When they need your attention focus on them. Congrats! And just when you think you can't handle it the kids evolve (or well you do). Lastly, trust in the vulnerability.
thrown321··on Ask HN: I'm disabled and out of money. Now what?
Not sure how it works in the UK but maybe contact an attorney or your local MP.
thrown321··on Powell: “We understand better how little we understand about inflation”
The key piece of evidence are the SEC declarations. Read them.
