More money per dose might have increased the efforts of the vaccine producers to speed up production and given them more financial means to do so. However, this still would not have been the optimal solution.

This is a case, where governments should have directly funded the build-up of production capacity. We need production capacities at a level which is economically infeasibly from a vendors perspective. Internationally, we need to produce like 14 billion doses per year. This would mean that whole humanity could be vaccinated within a year. Which is what we need, if we want to erradicate Sars-cov-2. But if we manage to do that, most of those new plants would become redundant and thats exactly why the government needs to pay for them.
Incoming DMCA takedown :D
OK, that makes sense. I guess then I'm not sure whether this was meant as a criticism of the title or just pointing out the feature. Since "Texas Appeals Court" is a single entity, it seams like a reasonable way to begin the headline, especially given the general convention that headlines avoid unnecessary prepositions such as in the possible alternative "Appeals Court in Texas". To my reading, the garden path ends at the third word, which doesn't seem too terribly bad for a headline. Perhaps I'm missing some subtle annoyance though.
It's a medical device. It's not a imposition in that case.
"And it makes me sad that Perl loses because of it."

Perl loses for lots of other reasons than profanity and verbal abuse.
I always think it's weird when I see people using "new" to make Array / Object. Unless you're using the ridiculously rare pre-initialization of an Array via "new Array(5)" it just feels clunky.
I think you're misunderstanding the animosity. It's not envy or rivalry as with Tall Poppy Syndrome. It's that there's this annoying tendency among journalists to take 20-year-old entrepreneurs and write these very condescending pieces that make it sound like the amazing thing about them is that they're 20 years old. The first two paragraphs of this story are all about his youth.

And then when it gets to the product, it doesn't really sound that exciting (in today's ad-saturated society, it's kind of hard to excite people by telling them you want to show them ads). Like, if a 40-year-old father of four were doing this, would they care? Or are they just amazed that there are young adults in Silicon Valley?

The same thing happens to Jessica Mah. It took me reading several articles about her to figure out WTF InDinero actually is, because all the reporters seemed to be so gobstruck by the fact that she's young.
Eventify.me came out with this idea a little while ago.

Ah yes, Andy Lester: the only person who has ever banned me from contributing to his open source projects. What a role model for civil interactions.
Man, way to cheapen your emotional experience. I was never a fan of achievement anyway, too often it cheapens the experience of playing the game.

Microsoft should just make achievement points a virtual currency that you can buy coupons with.
That's not a good sign when there's not even a picture of the thing.
Unfortunately it's down and doesn't work.
Fun. Can nodes be deleted?
The class warfare argument reeked of after-the-fact reasoning to me.
You realize you just quoted state of the art for the 1700s (WRT nomenclature)?
To be honest that is not really true for many ML implementations from papers. Often, I will pull a repo and it will be half-baked, or, only works on python 2.4, or have a broken dependency on something or another (zmq was common issue for a hot sec), or not publish weights, or be in tf when I want torch, or be in torch when I want tf, etc.
@akharris - you are awesome. Thank you for being there.

Nobody grokked India like you did. Which was tricky a few years ago at YC.

But most of all, thank you for just being an email away - that meant a lot.
By definition, Familial Hypercholesterolemia is a genetic defect of the receptor responsible for clearing cholesterol-containing droplets from the blood.
I am in the same camp. Interestingly I also find Scheme's approach quite nicely: The syntax is so uniform and thus the editor support so good, that you can just pretend that you have significant whitespace and that the parens are just a hint for your editor.
How many friends and relatives over 70 do you think SpaceX employees have? How many parents? How many will die due to the spread of coronavirus? How many will SpaceX employees infect?

Musk's comments are all kinds of stupid. Don't waste your time defending him.
I like how most of the answers here relate to effort, rather than the idea of 'born with talent'.

I'm of the same camp. Every effort you make into knowing, thinking, and processing is an accuring investment. Background knowledge that seems useless will often become relevant in some way.

The more I've learned, the more I've seen that every subject is connected in some way. There are only 'majors' and 'subjects' in school, because it's easier to learn things in isolation at first.

Be broad at lots of things, but dig deep into one or two things at a time.

Someone once asked me how Michael Phelps was so good at swimming. I answered, sure, being tall and genes was a good start. But he swims for hours a day. While you and I are eating, pooping, and watching funny videos, he's probably swimming.
The text only came up when I started using my mouse - if I just started typing, I would never have seen it. Also, the text was white, and happened to be positioned over a very light / white part of the picture, so I can understand how it could be missed.
Seems reasonable.

In reality, you can't make a good comparison between a phone that was just launched and one that hasn't been. You end-up comparing press-releases, something the tech press was never afraid to do.
You asked how you can become smarter, but I think what you really mean is "How do I find the thing I'm passionate about?" (as some others have mentioned) When you have passion for a particular topic or field of study, learning about it very deeply won't feel like work and you'll naturally learn as much as possible. Provided you have the aptitude to actually digest and act on the information. Are you not trying as hard as you think you should because you're lazy or because you aren't studying the right thing for you? It's an important question to ask yourself. Or are you simply not smart enough to master the fields you think you want to be in? Not everyone has what it takes to be at the top of a field. When you find something you're passionate about, the intuitive understanding of how that thing/field/career works comes along with it (in my experience anyway).
Wow, this is amazing. I guess the huge increase has resulted from increasing media coverage of YCombinator and its alumni.

I'm here now for close to a year, I haven't felt any major changes in site "flavor" except for the fact that the diversity of submissions have increased. However, the core HN reader group is quite successful in prevention too much dilution of content.

One reason I don't think HN will go the way of the reddit/digg/etc is due to this dedicated, close-knit community, that is tied to HN in ways quite different from, say, reddit's community is tied to reddit. A coarse comparison could be the Wikipedia admin community perhaps. Also having "benevolent dictators for life" like PG helps :-)

The GPL variants, for example, require you to allow others to plagiarize your work.
Freelancing does seem to be feast or famine. A lot of it is your network and happening to connect with the right person at the right time to get good projects.

For financial freedom in freelancing you need a long run of really good connections and projects. Even then you need to keep that pipeline full/moving.

I think the key is finding a way to sell products/training and/or a SaaS or productized service. You're really only going to be free when you aren't depending on a handful of clients for your lively hood.

So I would spend 80% of your time on client projects and 20% on your own info products, productized service/SaaS.

I'm just starting doing this myself 80/20. It's always a challenge to keep your own products moving forward. So hopefully setting aside 20% to really focus on my own SaaS will allow me to get this launched in 2020.

Here's some inspiration:

I know success stories are probably few and far between but this is doable. Having revenue coming in that isn't tied to the hours you work is a game changer.

Right now you have to sell your time for money, but build something that earns you money while you sleep.

Charge for hosting and maintenance, automate something valuable to your clients. Sell info products/courses. Create a SaaS.

Good luck in 2020.
Everyone start sending your representatives encrypted thumbdrives and sd cards. Contents? A document asking for reform of this law.
One of the issues that makes this murkier is that it is often only social norms and expectations that determine whether someone is misrepresenting themselves. In the meme world, the whole purpose is to share and modify slightly. There isn't an expectation that your post is original. In the academic world, every single word is assumed to be original unless cited otherwise. There are areas in between these cases, and often what someone calls a violation is merely the case of someone misreading the social norms.
Bernanke seems to discount the value of QE. If short-term rates are already at zero, and the Fed can't impact longer-term interest rates, then QE would have no effect.

But in fact, after the Fed pegged the overnight rate at 0, they could peg the 7-day rate at 0 just by committing to keep the overnight rate at 0 for 7 days, and offering to lend 7-day money at 0. And they can then peg the 1-year rate by offering to buy and sell 1-year T-bills at a given price. And so on up the yield curve.

Of course, at some point inflation adjusts and the Fed can't peg the real rate over the long term. But in the short term they can peg a lot of nominal rates in a sense that is not as narrow as he lets on here.

More coachable is probably the goal. A big problem for the college board is that insofar as the SAT is difficult, math driven, and g loaded, Asian people tend to score too high.

This creates political pressure for colleges to stop using the SAT in admissions, an existential threat to the college board.
Well what a mess this comment page is! The Tractatus is certainly not accessible, but the later Wittgenstein easily qualifies as the most accessible philosophy ever written.
Simple port tunnelling (-L and -R command line arguments) do not suffer from TCP over TCP. And if you want VPN-style usage, look into sshuttle. It is one way only, and that's a good thing! (Most of the time you only need connections going one way and none going the other way). If you do want two way, either use two sshuttle connections (one each way) or OpenVPN.

The only thing about sshuttle that I've encountered that exposes it's non-VPNness, is that the connection truly originate from the remote system - e.g. if you connect through sshuttle to your peer, the connection go from the peer to the peer on 127.0.0.1. That may or may not be a problem (e.g., logging is much less useful this way).

Try sshuttle. I've stopped using VPNs since I started.
I don’t disagree, but I think you’re missing my point or you didn’t read the thread before reading my comment. slovette felt that the cybertruck sucks because it’s less “practical” than luxury SUVs. I just pointed out that the luxury SUVs and luxury trucks that the cybertruck is competing against are also just impractical
Not quite the same thing, but James Randi famously debunked a “faith healer” by listening into to their analogue earpiece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7BQKu0YP8Y

Regardless of whether he actually is prepping for disasters, he is definitely exploiting the fear of systemic collapse in the marketing of some of his endeavors, from the design of the new truck/atv, to powerwalls, to space colonies.

The current marketing angle is an interesting mix of utopian (renewable energy, EVs), and dystopian (Mars colonies and cyber trucks). And this itself a pivot from Teslas original marketing angle, which was eco luxury and performance.

He is to the eco-prepper crowd what Levi was to the gold miners of the California gold rush - ready to sell supplies to people who will probably not experience the success they expect.

In a real systemic collapse, your Tesla gear is going to be just as useless as the rest of our machines. You'll survive - or not - based on the collective goodwill and decency of yourself and people around you, not some gadgets. In a period of state failure, your immediate community's social fabric, to the extent it exists, will effectively be your state.

But hey, if the marketing pushes other car and energy companies, and all of us, toward lower carbon future, then I say let people indulge their eschatological fantasies.
For recreational marijuana, you just walk in and buy it like you would alcohol.
You can walk in a buy it. If you have a medical card, it is cheaper and you pay less in taxes.
Yeah, there's a lot of variation in those terms, even just within the US.

In the political sphere: conservative = extreme right wing (Republicans); liberal = moderate right wing (Democrats).

In universities, I imagine it's a lot more complicated. A weak rule of thumb might be conservative = obviously pro-capitalist/racist/patriarchy; liberal = professional/managerial class? But it's complicated with von Humboldt conservatives and classical liberals.

(Disclaimer: I tend to ignore most flamewars contrasting conservatives vs. liberals, so I may be uninformed. Because it's like Coke vs. Pepsi. I find critiques of liberals from leftists interesting though.)
While your point is valid I think you're getting doe voted because you're completely forgetting that the probability of someone malicious finding out about this vulnerability and exploring it without disclosing is quite high. Going through legal channels would just mean the api will be live for longer. Lawyers like to take their time.

Instead, the disclosure resulted in the API being shut down within the hour. A much better result IMO.
"I can imagine him trying to explain to a layperson"

Its a 2011. Trying to sell that in, lets say, 2019, it'll sound a lot like when I sold my 1997 Saturn in 2013 with a hole for a ham radio antenna, in other words it'll be so old no one will care. Also they were more interested in the cracked heater core, broken sunroof opener, leaking sunroof, worn out brakes, and high oil consumption, than being worried about a little hole.
I have the same "talent". Exploited it for a via a former employer who runs an agency for temporary contract workers, and who regularly ran into such jobs, also because he was in a network with several other such agencies.

Nice gigs, usually no more than a few days, and working with tech I had no real experience in and otherwise wouldn't encounter.

Usually very similar problems: system slows down to a crawl or completely stops working because it hits some bottleneck (often after years of working flawlessly), original supplier no longer exists. Fun things to figure out if you have no immediate stake in it.
Would love to hear in more detail about your experiences integrating Scala teams and the challenges that come with it.

I only worked in a small team so far (3 devs) and had a good experience introducing Scala, but I can imagine that with people who have previous Scala experience and "their own style" can be problematic.
It goes to the Startup Foundation, an independent non-profit supporting founders building more successful startups, of which I am the Chairman.

#startup is our latest initiative, but we're working on a progress report tool (enabling founder to give peer feedback and to report to investors and coaches).

We also have a weekender format like Startup Weekend or Lean Startup Machine, which we have done 10 of to date and will roll out in 2015. Next to that we have an incubator in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and a big meetup group for that city.

Our goal is that all of our initiatives generate surplus revenue to be able to roll out new initiatives and improve existing ones.

But for #startup, it is also a great way to find out who is motivated to get in and contribute. Most of the contributions are actually from people who have heard about what it is like on the inside.

You see, we normally get tens of applications per day, and some people just want to get in ASAP. This way they can, without us having to screen everyone that wants to get in directly.

Now that we're on PH, HN, Reddit and Betalist, we've got hundreds of applications just today. And we will screen them all, so it might take a week to get in.

+ not every motivation is good enough to get in, cash tells us you are at least slightly dedicated.
Can I just send my MBP Late 2011 to you so that you can send it to Apple to be replaced? The #mbp2011 group should really just set up a bunch of people there so that we can send it to Apple Norway to be replaced since MBP's warranties are worldwide anyway.
Yeah, it seems like a lot of the criticisms of go boil down to "I don't like doing everything with assembler".
Are you saying that the NSA would have to brute force this public key?

I was under the impression that the NSA created a public/private key pair and gave this public key to Lotus Notes to use.
Yes, I understand that if someone owns the option, that's it. At least, until they fail to produce the show in time and option will close. And after they told me that option was sold to someone, I've asked the agency to provide me with the buyer's contacts, or even give my contacts to the buyer so he could contact me.
The facts that not only they didn't tell me that option was already sold right away, but they also denied my request to help me to contact the buyer, made me think that actually they didn't sell anything.
I'm gonna go ahead and guess twitter's "war chest" is a little bigger than Meerkat's.
I let slip to one of my engineering teachers whose wife also teaches physics at the school that I desired Feynman to teach me electricity and magnetism since I feel the class has just been equations thrown at me and horribly contrived situations with "story" elements* that don't add to understanding. I believe he said something like "Well, there's limits with Feynman too" and I said "Yeah, he's dead." So I have to make due with the Feynman Lectures Volume 2, which is excellent but clearly designed for students with a different background in math and physics. (It's still way better than Giancoli.)

Ah well, that's often the case in college due to pacing and how it's structured. You do enough to pass the class and if you care you'll go further and reach understanding over the summer.

In addition to Feynman's excellent lectures (there are more than the other poster linked) there's also a lot of general videos on the nature of science, what it means to be scientific, and about Feynman himself. The Pleasure of Finding Things Out is one of my favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srSbAazoOr8

I presume it would follow the same guideline as Reddit and r/IAmA, i.e. a primary source for verified accounts, but "generally unreliable" for everything else.
It also suggests things will go on and we'll be in much the same situation in years going forward.
It's a lot like the emergence of scientific forestry as described in "Seeing Like a State" - instead of local knowledge and care/attention to individual circumstances by a generalist, the field has become standardised and based around things which can be easily measured.
Old boardroom makeup: 100% male elites.

This change does not benefit the average person, including the average woman, at all.
Well, the cookie policies in the EU are sort of weird, but they're not from the GDPR, but from an older directive, 2009/136/EC, the "cookie law". And this directive only uses the word once, in the parenthetical "(such as certain types of cookies)".

Even if you replace cookies with something else (localstorage or whatever), you're still on the hook for all the rules both here and in the GDPR with regards to personal information and informed consent.

Remember that the 'cookie law' says

> Exceptions to the obligationto provide information and offer the right to refuse should be limited to those situations where the technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user.

So you don't need a cookie banner for a login session cookie, or a cookie that stores preferences the user actively selected.
But you _do_ need a cookie banner, and a way to opt out, for all kinds of user tracking, both first- and third-party.

Of course, IANAL. Just angry at advertisers for muddying up this issue.
This is all voluntary disclosure. Perhaps Facebook is just being a lot more honest... :)
What search history is linked to iMessage? Is it the searches you do on your phone?
What were the results? If it was a serious issue that needed treated urgently there is a problem. If it was not then she was prioritised correctly and there's no issue.
Depending on the situation it might be very obvious (they republish it after the deletion request) or you might not know without examining their system directly.

There are a number of options depending on the context. If Tent ends up like email (90% of users spread across a handful of service providers), then one term of the license could be consent to regular audits by mutually trusted individuals or organizations (e.g. the EFF).
Most likely yes. Same as how Sendgrid and Yesware do it.
They've done that for a couple of years.

If you can actually submit a support ticket, get them to agree that a phone number is not required (like it says on their website), and to reply when that's done, you'll get your account unlocked after a few days. (usually)
>I think Vultr has the cheapest option at $2.5 for a VPS with allowance 1TB of traffic.

AFAIK that option uses NATed ipv4, so it could dicey unless you know that you have ipv6 everywhere you go.
