Old people will be the majority for the foreseeable future, though. To be honest, the only strategy that I currently see for young people is waiting and growing old, unfortunately..


I got a dustmite allergy directly after a Covid infection. Also, I got no proof but it made me suspicious if there could have been a connection..


Yeah, pretty close to what I got. Man that sucks. But I can confirm that taking exercises helps.


A guy at my company (very old company, we need to maintain our software for 30+ years) gave a presentation about how they used opus 4.6 to onboard people, like giving new team members access rights etc. Then another guy (even higher in management) proposed using a team of agents for that.. It's getting pretty wild


They do heavily outsource to India, though. At least for their electronic control units..


They are guessing much more than computer scientists would think, typically . A structural engineer does not know: the peak wind force, what the ground under the bridge is really made of, what the actual tensile strength at the weakest piece of material is, what the exact force on the screws were at time of fastening (and after), etc... Heck, they don't even know if euler bernoulli beam theory is actually right about the existence of a neutral axis..They just take their best guesses, add generous safety factors and have the bridge inspected regularly ..


You have abstractions and models for those things. I was formally trained as an EE, so I'm just guessing at how structural engineers do it.

I would expect someone building a bridge to keep the average/peak winds into consideration - and then feed it to CAD or whatever modeling software they use to design the structure. They don't need to know the exact force a screw was tightened with - they do need to give the specs of what range they should be tightened to. Again - considered in CAD. They don't need to know that theory is right - they just need to know it's not wrong to an unacceptable degree.

I'm sure there's some guessing, but a lot of these things are actually factored in.


However, people born before 2008 smoking around you, affects you, as well. If they want to protect people they need to ban it for everybody..


> If they want to protect people they need to ban it for everybody..

Last time governments tried to force people to do something for their own sake, you saw how it ended (COVID). If people can't start smoking cigarettes, they won't get hooked up, so gradually at least regular cigarettes will be phased out. Vapes are still controversial, but as a non-smoker with a very sensitive nose, vape smoke is 10000x better than cigarette smoke. It doesn't cause me to cough, it doesn't contain harmful chemical compounds, it doesn't soil clothes nearly as much, and I can still smell food at a restaurant.


If there is a jump of inflation in the US it might very well spread to my place (EU), as well. It is interesting for me, as I am interested in economics and finance. So it sparked my curiosity, at least.


I see, thanks. I guess to each their own!


I very much hate Schufa for the way they calculate your score (which until very recently was not even disclosed). But hey, at least they don't sell my income data to random private companies. In fact they do not have my income. Just credit related stuff. I demand an overview from them every 3 months that they have to physically mail to me, just to annoy them..


My grandpa (ww2) was one of them. He helped my father dodge the draft, when he was supposed to go to military service.


sure, nobody would ever speak English as a second language ;)


Lol not saying everyone here but most people here. Plus there's the whole ycombinator thing too.
