It is showing that approved drugs can have effects that are unexpected, even after the extensive trial periods. This time, the effects seem to be positive. It could have been worse.
We need a small portion of anti-vaxers. If one day, we all turn into zombies because of some long term effect no one picked up in time, they will continue the species. It probably is a step back in evolution though. ;-)

Dear US government,

We from pest control want to test new ways to do pest control. Because you listen! Good pest control would make America glorious nation!
We need plutonium to build the ultimate pest destruction weap... product. We noticed that democrats keep flourishin in great country that is US. With pest control, this will be fixed and nothing will stop us from becoming rich!

Your's faithfully,

Dude... of course they bought supported hardware. Back in that time? Our conclusion was that it was not suited for desktop pcs. Maybe it has improved?

EU here... We have been here before. It did not go well.
Worked in a company that had Linux machines, drivers were really an issue back then. Everything worked. But then someone's PC failed and was renewed. That machine mysteriously went black at random moments. After a while, every machine had its own quirks. IT did not have the resources to fix so many different things. They switched to Mac. It may have improved. This was more than a decade ago.

It is disgusting how the evil democrats are sabotaging poor Donald. They toss him around like he is nothing and make his job impossible!
I bet he is in tears every evening. Poor snowflake...

Occasionally a maga fan post shows up on my Facebook feed. I reply with a bit of irony. At first sight I am a Trump supporter, but if you think for a few seconds you notice the irony. (I hope...)
It is funny how often I get a personal message from a beautiful busty blonde a few seconds after my comment. She recognizes my intelligence and informs me of a secret investment that is going to return big profits if I sign up. It is a maga exclusive.
Poor sods...

has no spine...

Probably too many "if subscription == "free for life geuite" " lines in their code and maintaining it / explaining it to new staff is becoming too troublesome?

I consider my master degrees as an entry ticket to a job interview. A lot of people that started with me did not graduate. That does tell something. Had an interview where they put me in the room with a few techies. They had a lot of reservations to work with someone that graduated from university. They wanted to check out if I was an arrogant prick. One looked at my resume. Master this, master that, he skipped all that. "Hey, says here you worked behind a garbage truck for two months?" That was my second entry ticket...

Uhm, if this story is as extreme as presented here, I would team up to make that as impossible as it could be. Circuit breakers would accidentally trip a lot if they push through. Pigeons hitting the wires these days...

You are thinking in stereotypes. It was a different type of company. Definitely not that extreme.

Cognitive dissonance is the result in my opinion. I think one of the underlying causes is splitting, binary thinking. Wikipedia explains it well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
It is very recognizable in extremist thinking. One day a doctor will discover it correlates with a part of the brain that is crooked. He will devise a drug (with side effects) to reduce it. Faith of course will make sure the drug can only be delivered with a sort of vaccine. Then things will become... interesting ;-).

I am starting to understand the hard core maga mind. It is basically binary thinking. It goes like this: Trump is good. Trump sells phone, phone is good. Others say phone is bad. That means Trump is bad. That is not true. Therefore the ones claiming that the phone is bad are bad. Then the rationalization starts. it can go in all sorts of directions. Usually it is a mix of the blame game (Biden made him do it!), Trump is a genius and you just do not understand (Trump made sure the company is moving production to the US as soon as possible!) or they just attack. (You do not even try!)

So soothing... Much more soothing than the reality behind it, but they just do not want to get out of that cozy bubble. Whatever you say. Trump good, phone good, you? Bad.

Pay? Good point, it wasn't the best paying company. That probably contributed a bit to the staffing issue. They did hire some high profile guys though.

RLC loop? They teach that in high school here. Pretty sure analog transistor level is still taught. It is not for the faint of hart though. We did a few things for EVs. Lot of digital there, but power electronics is more than stuffing gates on a rail.
Yes, they really want people. No they do not want the perfect guys. Fresh from school? No problem. No master degree but experience? Welcome! Trouble with basic understanding of analog electronics? Nope. Hiring that guy would do more damage than good. They tried that a few times when I was still there. "Lacks skill but is very motivated", it did not end well.
Oh, this company is not in silicon valley. I guess the situation is different there, although I am not sure about that. Some of them were hunting for us.
