This was really hard to read through because I kept dreaming up systems and applications which might automate the whole process.
This is totally not true. I'm 41, work at Google and doing pretty OK. As long as you are willing to keep learning and can use your experience constructively I don't think age is a problem here at all.

Geez. That employee sounds almost as awful as the place you work.
To extend, being attacked by multiple camps of people who all disagree with a moderated position is silent on the correctness - or sanity - of all involved.
I found the employee who said the discount was only available the first time to be a symptom of a self-defeating policy: once you make such a statement, the transaction would become uncomfortably personal as illustrated by the account of the mother in the article. Having a sign outside the store and another one near the checkout would be less personal. The most that I would ask an employee to say in that sort of situation is "Please pay it forward when you can".

The part about the customer dress code was declared to be unevenly enforced between the Panera Cares store and the normal Panera bread store, so that seems like another issue of policy.

The Yelp comment that mentioned smell is a tough one. I was thinking about not having any place to sit period to avoid that, but then one could make the argument that isn't the Panera Bread experiment.

I applaud Ron Shaich for at least trying. I personally would not have gone towards opening four stores without proving out and refining the first experience of the first one. By just having this one store, it could have stayed open longer before closing, and the employees working at that store could have been given better job security e.g. if this store doesn't work out, then I'll guarantee you a position of employment at your nearest Panera Bread.
But the experiment also does not prove much beyond that it was 488 in this particular one case or does it?
Cite please, I'm guessing this is only under controlled conditions, or perhaps more aptly described as "difference recognition."

Perhaps not many years ago, but they are certainly full of tourists now. Check out the Shibuya or Roppongi Donki on any given day, and the number of tourists is far greater than that of locals -- same with Daiso, recently.

Also my comment doesn't preclude Donki having some daily necessities. As for calling it a "staple" for central Tokyo, that's a bit of a stretch. If you said outside of the 23 wards, then I would agree.

I did some quick research, and I fail to find proof that glyphosate is "highly toxic". Sounds like the consensus is that it is either mildly bad for you, or not bad for you.
I appreciated the article but was feeling the same way.

Mainly the portion about working primarily in VR and refurnishing the lab for reclining on the floor as a result. It's interesting, but foreign to me. Strange Days and Existenz are cool movies and all, but I just don't find VR that compelling.

I'm glad someone is working to find meaningful experiences in these new mediums though.

> The problem here is that you assume they're reasonable.

And you assume they are unreasonable? Almost everybody has the ability to reason, the problem is that their reasoning system is grounded differently from yours. To begin common reasoning, we must first find common ground, even if we have to go all the way back to "I think therefore I am".

> No one is antivaccine from a position of logic or science,

> because the position is completely impossible to support

> with either.

There are plenty of ways to argue a point from an anti-vaxxer perspective (which I don't support FYI):

1. There is not enough data to draw conclusions about negative long-term effects. This argument is also used for radio signals (cellular/wifi/bluetooth/etc), smoking (at the time where it was unclear whether there was harm) and many others.

2. Some organization has an incentive to hide known issues. Whilst you might say "conspiracy", just look at the poor ladies who were painting with radium and how their companies hid the effects. Or asbestos. There is a long history of covering up issues to aid profits.

3. The default logical or scientific position is to be skeptical of all claims. If a mass of people say "this is good", it is important for at least a small number of people to challenge this. If people didn't go against the grain, perhaps we would still believe that the earth is at the center of the Universe and if we sail too far, one will simply fall off.

As I'm sure you are aware, for many (including myself), it's not possible to read every paper on a subject, hence some of our biases are based on things we haven't confirmed ourselves directly. I didn't personally take a picture of a black hole, but people I trust say that they have and it fits my model of reality. It's unlikely that more than a handful of people with strong positions on vaccines have read years of dense academic articles on vaccine research. They probably get their information from sources they trust, probably different sources from you and I.

> Antivaccine beliefs are functionally very similar to

> religion.

I'm not sure that's true, the reason to be an anti-vaxxer or religious could be completely different. Perhaps anti-vaxxers can be considered as fighting an authoritative figure and religious persons as wanting to follow some authoritative figure? I'm sure the reasons are many and varied. I imagine the reasons for being religious are more socially based though.
Pretty much, but Donki's main selling point is the incredible array of completely off-the-wall shit in no discernible order. For example, this pic has rubber chickens, an exploding hat, a helium dispenser for making your voice squeaky, gorilla plushies, retro gaming consoles, sexy maid costumes, a giant robot toy, a RC helicopter and a waffle iron:

I think they intentionally put these in nightlife districts, so they can be a sort of drunk man's IKEA where you always end up buying more than you planned to.
Interesting map.

The methodology probably wouldn't be comparable to Tyshchenko's, but there is an estimate for the lexical distance between Tocharian and the other Indo-European language families (10.2307/601651) - Tocharian comes out closest to Germanic and Greek.

Then again, Tocharian wasn't spoken anywhere near Europe when it was attested, so it isn't strictly within the scope of the map - but it's unclear how it got there. The most popular view, as far as I know, is that it was the second family to branch off of Indo-European, after Anatolian, but Adams showed that it shares some innovations with Germanic (the reflexes of syllabic resonants and the expansion of the singulative function of the n-stems to adjectives) and Greek (a locative dual *-oisi, represented in the Tocharian B genitive dual), and Eric Hamp placed Tocharian in a 'Northern Indo-European' subgroup with Germanic, Balto-Slavic, and Albanian.
In the coastal bubble sure. But I think the parent is referring to the US in aggregate.

Since you are not actively investing in FB or any individual company, you can’t vote (since you passively invested in an index). Seems fair to me.

Glad I was able to reach you at the right time :)

You're absolutely right about figuring out the subproblems and the recurrence relation. I've found that knowing how you're going to use the recurrence relation is a first step to coming up with the right relation. For example, knowing you'll cache the results in a table means you're on the lookout for a function that has integer inputs, because you want the values to be indexed and ordered.

After that, as you said, practice is key. I'm working on a follow-up article that'll show some tougher examples, which should help provide more exposure. Forget three sub problems; one problem, the chain matrix multiplication problem, uses O(n) subproblems!

Corporate profits come from somewhere. It would be a switch from an income tax to a (hidden) federal consumption tax.

The initial money to pay for stock has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere would be more debt or traditional taxes.

The federal government would control the companies (assuming it acquires majority shares), even if government employees aren't staffing them. That's socialism.

Socialism/communism is bad because if given the opportunity for direct control, government can't help tinkering in business affairs to score political points, rather than because it makes the business better.
Because then your caller will need to implement something that understands what a promise is instead of just getting a data object it already has to understand. Not only this, but the caller will need to also implement a polling mechanism to keep trying. Put into code:

func get_value(key):
value = backend.get(key)
return value

Is way better than something along these lines:

func get_value(key):
while true:
response = backend.get(key)
if response.type == "promise":
sleep duration
continue
return response.value

If your service looks like the former, then suddenly your unit tests can use a postgres database, a sqlite database, a rest client... that all implement the same backend.get(key) interface.
Glad to hear you like the music! Hahaha. Thanks for taking a look at the video/tool. Always good to get feedback. :)
The reason it's so negative is because it already notes that prior research showed consumer responsibilization doesn't work. Shaich might see himself as good-minded, even volunteering as cashier, but he comes off more as misguided (what with his Ted Talk enthusiasm) and out of touch (note the vast gap between the customers and this man who made $2 million that year). I'm not sure why you expected some bland analytical article. The author clearly doesn't agree with Libertarian ideals or conscious capitalism.

This is why we have an independent media, since corporate media tends to favor their customers (the advertisers & major shareholders); that is until it become blatantly obvious there's a problem. Then other tactics are used to gain control of the narrative. This is also why some monopolists are angry & want to censor & co-opt the independent media; too much competition in the marketplace of ideas...

Also, vaccine manufacturers are legally immune from lawsuits & there's a fund to pay off victims of vaccine damage.

I don't understand what you're asking. Vaccines are recommended because that's usually the best course of action. That doesn't mean that vaccines will work 100% of the time... if that's what you were asking. Safety...? We're not talking about experimental vaccines whose safety is not well understood. If you have specific allergies or specific medical conditions, I'm sure your doctor would either recommend an alternative that does not have that allergen or suggest some other course of action.

No doctor says "everyone should take all vaccines NOW". More info here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/should-not-vacc.html

It can be a complex, painful process. It will involve looking at log files for just about anything, resetting some set of passwords, engaging outside counsel, engaging a forensic/IR firm.

And it is often a race against various competing priorities. For example, if there is an attacker actively working into your system, one temptation is to totally turn that ingress off. However, if the attacker is sophisticated, then they know that they have been detected, and may well find yet another route into your systems that is harder for you to spot.

This can be proactively addressed by having an IR plan, and occasional table-top exercises too address select scenarios. Executive buy-in is critical.

I totally agree. I think part of the problem is finding a specific case that applies to as many people as possible (a common denominator), but also elicits an extreme visceral reaction so that it easy to empathize with.

There was a comment that I read here on HN about privacy being something like "everyone knows what you do in the bathroom, but you still don't want anyone to see", but I can't find it using https://hn.algolia.com/?query=&sort=byPopularity&prefix&page... . Maybe it was reddit?
I view economics as the gating factor. If, as you posted downthread, you don't have lifetime financial security, don't drop your tenured job.

Just a correction: the Random Access Machine needs n*log(n) time, the Turing machine doesn't, as bandwidth is not a problem for the caching layers for sigle threaded execution, just the random access latency.
I can't find it now, but in the last few years there was a "well but what about churches?" story as public services for street problems were being cut, and they themselves said that they'd prefer not to have to take up the slack, certainly aren't prepared to take up all the slack, and that they aren't pros like the people who had just got their funding cut.
Can I ask the point of quoting a snippet of the article without comment?

The human brain is an incredibly powerful unconscious pattern recognition device. The conscious mind is unaware of most of this processing.

For chess positions where there is no tactic that gives a clear advantage, the best move is determined by subtle positional/strategic considerations. It's interesting that often, top players will all agree what the best move is, but be incapable of explaining why except in very vague terms. It just "feels right".

I haven't read about computer chess in a while so I'm not sure if this is still the case, but at least for several years after it became impossible for a human to beat a computer, a human+computer team was still much stronger than a computer alone, because of this intuitive strategic/positional ability that computers lack.
Devil's advocate (not my actual position):

I don't want my child to risk getting measles, mumps, bruises, seizures or a severe allergic reaction [1]. I believe the number of these cases to be under-reported (not everybody goes to the doctor after getting ill) and the risk of side effects from the MMR vaccine (treats measles) to be greater than the benefits.

>The largest retirement asset for most people is their homes.

That is if they actually own their homes. In Japan, large potion of current working generation can't afford to own a land and house. So the real estate is not going to be the largest retirement asset for the most people in Japan.

That and the fact Japanese population is shrinking so there will be less demand for it, I'm wondering the real estate value will continue to raise like it currently is.
Japan will be Japan long after the United States has splintered apart due to its own internal contradictions.

The idea that GDP growth is the most important metric for the health of a society is not even wrong.

No. The pattern of behavior in both this discussion and the world generally is not rational.

My original comment was simply about my opinion about where this movement began. You and other people have largely ignored that to engage in various forms of dismissiveness of me personally.

If pro vaxxers were as rational as they like to claim, commenting on the origin of the antivax movement shouldn't result in this kind of pattern of behavior.

But I think I'm done here.
The article that I linked shows why even 100% vaccinated population will not achieve herd immunity. This is the meat of the article really, read it.

There is a substitution of terms in the first statement that you quoted. To stop transmission you need 90-95% of the population being _immune_ to the disease, not vaccinated against it. Do you see the difference?

The second quote by Funk got it right. But again please read the article why this is unattainable even with the 100% vaccination rate.

That's because to the average person, the privacy fears of the average HNer make no sense. Even if something extremely bad might happen as a result of violations of my privacy, the chances seem fairly low. In that sense, it's no different than millions of other fears high-impact-low-chance fears that we happily go through life ignoring.

What's your most convincing argument for why an average person should care more? Explain it to me like I'm 5.
