Funny enough you are legally not allowed to call that a Döner in the EU. (Döner by law must not use ground beef. If they do you can call them Kebab,but not Döner)

How did you get a 2.50CHF lunch? Migro prepacked sandwich?

I always struggle to find cheap lunch options.

Well, we could assign the reviewers more "significance" here. We could give them points and if they "upvote" a paper it gives the paper a bit more visibility/reputation. If the reviewer has actually reviewed the paper it gives the paper more points.

How much a reviewer is able to "spend" could be based on the reputation of the institution, their own papers in the same field and the points they get for their reviews by other users.

Just a raw idea,but it seems possible, indeed.

Why not both? There are a fair bit of positions that allow a certain degree of patient sided work. And of course there is always Freelance/Locum work in most countries.

I have switched to a full off-patient role a long time ago and since the beginning of Covid I have worked mostly remotely. But I am still working as a Freelancer for a few shifts per month, depending on my workload.

And I like this model a lot.

You forgot the "basement dwelling gatekeepers", there are the ones whose minds never left their parents basement and whose social skills aka lack thereof is evident in their gatekeeping.

Their way is the only correct way and Linus has actually no idea how to run Linux, hardware manufacturers don't know anything about their products, anyone using not their service of choice is automatically an idiot and if you don't know how to compile xyz yourself by using a self taught technique you really should get off the internet right now.

Often their advice is inefficient, sometimes it's outdated and some even blatantly lie (had one boast in a discord that he has a myriad of secret user accounts where he intentionally gives bad advice to a FOSS product he hates).

Some also intentionally make whatever the goal is appear much harder in an effort to look smarter (that behaviour is often found in the professional world as well*)

They are the cancerous sore of FOSS and social media,imho.

PS: Anecdote: I work in healthcare,not IT originally. Everything I know is self taught, therefore. Started a new consulting gig and one of these guys, very much a "IT gatekeeper" always made the company he worked for think it takes a massive effort to install a certain product. Which made everyone's life much harder because yes,he did install it, but he manually compiled it which took him weeks at a time, while his other work piled up. So they tried not to use this essential product whenever possible and worked their way around it.

I came there, saw that I needed said product and had it installed within 20min. The CEO sat right next to me and was stunned. "You prepared that, right?" "Uhm,no? You can just download and install it like this?"

IT-Gatekeeper was asked to join the meeting asap and told to explain why they need so long. His only excuse was "I need to review all the code" - which he did diligently, but he always reviewed ALL the code not only changes, according to his notes.

I made the mistake of saying to myself a bit to loud "but if you compile that stuff yourself then you are liable if it breaks,if you use the advised packages from the manufacturer they are"(medical device law can be interesting). IT-Gatekeeper exploded and screamed at me how I have no idea how IT works,etc.

He was let go shortly after that.

Und das wo sich doch seine Parteifreunde im Osten Land auf Land ab auf eine Koalition mit der AfD vorbereiten....als Juniorpartner.

Actually COVID is one of the most used tests they do, at least around here. But you can do things like drug use, cancer epidemiology (for some cancers), etc. as well - and that is incredibly helpful from a public health point of view.

Because it's just like with Covid - we can't get proper data from patient sided tests because we can't test everyone. And even if we could,not everyone would.

But everybody poops/pees. And guys like OP interpolate from that.

As someone who is doing disaster response consulting for healthcare and public health: I fucking love you guys. You make my job sooo much easier.

Seriously.

The surveillance you folks do is pretty much indisputable and far more incorruptible compared to everything else we do, in healthcare especially.

Very often you are my "discussion ending gun" when decision makers endlessly want me to prove their (flawed) point of view. A "nope, here are validated wastewater based numbers, you are wrong" is extremely satisfying sometimes.

Thanks folks!

Consulting in healthcare/public health/public safety

Thanks for confirming that you're full of shit.

Because there are very very few Sliding Synch (which is the part of X that makes it faster) instances at the moment and only one that has a major userbase.....

Wouldn't say that. With most Matrix Clients, WhatsApp, etc. it's far easier. Especially from a perspective of a elderly,less tech adept user.

And on which instance did you experience that?
