Is cancer infectious? How is this anywhere near anti-vaxxers? Don't vaccines mainly exist to treat for something dangerous to the whole herd? Only some small part of the herd even gets cancer.. how is this not discrediting vaccines by even just comparing the two?
Regarding the link, you can kind of get around that semantically: I'd view Jobs' attention as a "grudge". He's not bashing microsoft out of a generic sense that "microsoft is bad", he's mad at Gates for what he views as specific bad actions taken against him specifically. So he wants to hurt him back.

It seems reasonable to me that that's a different kind of psychology than the fundamentally impersonal "fanboy/hater" ideas in the essay.
Used by BIG companies* is your point, right? That's interesting and makes sense.
Could you provide a link to an example of the kind of "pad" you're talking about? We are mattress-shopping now, so this is a timely discussion :)
I think the sentiment is that would be solving the wrong problem.

Why do they need to store so much data in a single DB, and could they use a different approach? Rewriting tools that already work well is a big of an extreme solution, but Google also has the resources to do something like that.
Are there any other interesting things like this that people know of? I guess you could consider them advanced life hacks in a way.

I honestly feel dirty sending media or any kind of files with Telegram. There is no clear business plan setup.

WhatsApp mines metadata/contacts and uses it for ad profiling. Telegram runs on saving. But that can’t scale to the future.

I do hope that whatever this coin is, it success because Telegram is decades ahead in terms of UX/speed than any other messenger.

You can get a federal ID. It's called a passport card. It costs $65.

The US also has the REAL ID[0] standard that requires IDs to meet minimum standards in order to be accepted by the federal government.

If carriers just required a REAL ID compliant ID in order to get a new SIM, and actually checked it via the chip or magnetic strip, I think we'd be good.

Jobs didn’t disbelieve medical science. It’s possible to reject a treatment for other reasons.
I’ve been the IT vendor in this scenario. While I’m sure there are plenty of inept vendors not doing their part to ensure the systems they implement are secure, a big part of it is doctors and their work culture.

Many doctors see themselves as too important to deal with security. They have an attitude of “I went to school for medicine, not computers! How dare you ask me to use a computer.” They are not only technologically inept, they are proud of it. And I’m not just talking about refusing to use complicated software. I’m talking about doctors that insist that they shouldn’t be forced to use passwords (not even complicated passwords; ANY passwords). And in most of the organizations I have dealt with, doctors are the most important people in the organization and have final say on anything, which often means that the security department’s efforts are all overridden by doctors that can’t be arsed to even type in a password before using their EMR, and don’t even dream of something more complicated like asking them to use multi-factor auth.

I once worked at a hospital where a doctor was looking at porn at work, clicked a phishing link, and gave up his network credentials. An attacker then used those credentials to breach the network and siphoned several hundred thousand dollars from the financial system (wiring money to himself). Security detected this and disabled his account. 20 minutes later the doctor had called the CEO, yelled at him (“how dare you lock me out of my account!”) who then called security to yell at us and insist we re-enable his account. The doctor was never reprimanded (for falling for phishing or for the porn) meanwhile the security team got a stern talking to and was instructed to never disable a doctor’s account again.

Healthcare is a different world for security. You have to acknowledge that yes, patient safety is more important than security, but oftentimes these doctors take it to an extreme and they are very difficult to work with. I have never met a group of people more elitist and “too important to be bothered” by security than doctors.

The publishing rights are where the money is. Owning the masters doesn’t help much.
This is nothing new though; gurus and healers have been saying for decades that there are better cures (after which most people who listened to them died and sometimes they died themselves after taking their own 'cure').

Hell, even here on HN we see people basically claiming that keto + no sugar + fasting will prevent or cure cancer. And this is a community that wants real proof, yet many here seem to believe that and might forgo chemo in the future because of that belief. The thing is; most of these people (as I usually check) seem to be in their 20s. In your 20s you are in fact indestructible in most cases, so thinking that you will survive anything and that doing some fad diet/cure/whatever will help you do that says or means nothing. Fast forward 30-40 years and then let's discuss that again.

Maybe they are right (but right means there is a lot of research and real cases and there are not at the moment), but if not, i'm quite scared about how many people here follow these half baked ideas and then basically play 'health guru' online because they 'feel so good'. Newsflash; you always feel good in your 20s, even if you smoke, eat burgers+pizza and drink every day, you still feel fine because you are young. It is dangerous claiming these things together with half baked scientific theories about cancer cells.
Because these people know how to spin their "treatment". They convince the patient to chose their "treatment" them selves. They rarely give the ridiculous advice directly in front of witnesses. Instead the family will learn about the treatment from some third party, potentially the victim themselves.
This is the classic argument of quality vs quantity. Chemo will give you more time but severely damages your DNA, organs, etc. potentially affecting quality of life greatly.
Extreme wealth inequality has been found to be bad for both the poor and wealthy individuals and for society, in terms of happiness
> Person B increasingly tries to socially interact with Person A and this puts Person A in a tough position because they don't like the creepy vibe that they get from Person B.

If Person B is an empathetic, objective, self-aware person (i.e. not a Creepy Guy), they're of course not going to do that, They'll figure out that Person A is acting uncomfortable, for whatever reason, and dial back on the interaction as opposed to trying again and again in the same way. Perhaps they'll try a different "tack" if they feel that engaging with Person A is that important to them, but they'll still be way more careful about it than they otherwise would. Simply because it's the sensible, rational thing to do at that point.

As for Person A, the sensible thing to do would be to walk away from the whole thing well before they even get a chance to be made contemptful or disdainful. If they're unable to do even that then, well, there are ways you can call Person B a creeper to their face in a quite polite, respectful, and even plausibly-deniable way (i.e. Person B gets to save face!) and Person A should probably resort to them. That alone would be enough to break the vicious cycle of contempt.

Quite simply, the symmetry you're pointing at here just doesn't exist - being creeped out by someone is not the same as being a creeper yourself! Not even close.
because they see the doctor and the medical system as something not personal and interacting with them..

my father(age close top 80) is doing this now in the sense he wants to jump on any not proven thing for dialysis even though its not proven. I constantly force him to interact more with his doctors and nurses to counteract these things. Sometimes it works sometimes not.
The death toll from Fukushima is in the low triple digits at most.

Pollution from coal kills hundreds of thousands of people a year when it's working normally. (This is even if we completely ignore the effects of global warming, whose future death toll is unknown).

Nuclear being seriously dangerous because of a few isolated accidents IS your imagination. It's similar to people who refuse to fly, and drive long distances instead.

That they are but one is nowhere near as dangerous to the herd as the other. I don't see a need to lump these camps together.
> When considering a ban on a particular individual behavior (e.g., eating too much), it's perfectly reasonable to talk about the larger social harms (e.g., increased medical costs). But it's also important to consider the freedoms that are being taken away by such a policy (e.g., the freedom to eat what you want).

You get both individual freedom and remove the harm to others from obesity if you stop forcing service providers to work for free.

The only reason that people who choose to become obese are a drain on others is because there is currently a mechanism for them to force others to absorb the cost of their resulting health care.

Make it so that people have to pay for healthcare for themselves either out of pocket or via insurance instead of forcing hospitals to serve all comers (like any other service that is provided to people), and suddenly you get the best of both worlds: everyone gets to eat what they want, smoke what they want, inject what they want, and nobody else is forced to pay for the poor decisions of anyone else. Everybody wins.

Plus Italy's national ID is laughably insecure. It's a laminated piece of paper. I remember when I was growing up I had an Italian friend in the UK who went out to a bar for her actual 18th birthday. When they asked for ID, she showed it to them and they kicked us out because they thought it was fake. It was not.
This essay does not read like an intellectual piece at all. Poorly defined terms, labeling people, non-falsifiable psychoanalysis.

And to top it off he calls both labeled groups of people "less than men".

All of this setup to deliver the profound advice to just ignore them.

(Before people call me a "hater", note that I strictly do not meet the definition, because I like a lot of his essays.)
This is not new and it predates the internet. My wife's aunt died of breast cancer 30 years ago. She decided to not have chemotherapy and instead opted for self treatment via a vegan diet even though she was relatively young and had a very treatable cancer. It happened before our relationshp but the utter stupidity of that choice is still used as a cautionary tale among her family.

That said, I've seen two family members die from terminal cancer and in both cases, they would have been better served by hospice rather than spending the last year of their life in chemo. I felt like it was a money grab by doctors. Their end of life oncology treatment cost the insurance company a couple hundred thousand dollars each

I agree that much of the problem is the hardware. I went through several cheap routers before I finally found one that was stable after a year of use. That one worked great for >8 years.

I just upgraded, and went with a device intended to be a commercial AP, but since it has two Ethernet jacks, it makes a great router under Openwrt. So far, it seems pretty good, but I'll be happier if I see uptimes of more than a year.

I see examples of this all of the time especially amongst people who are successful or highly advanced in any sort of facet of life. My theory is that becoming advanced involves developing deep analytical skills, which it’s then tempting to apply to all sorts of other domains. The trap is that what made you advanced in one specialized area was years of foundational knowledge alongside those analytical skills. I find myself fighting that impulse a lot and have gotten better but I can easily see it going the other direction.

Point taken. Dr Barouch's work indicates that HIV is particularly challenging. I had not kept up.

Thank you for the links.
My idea is something that includes a range of types of housing, at least 2 different types of food stores, at least 1 24 hour convenience store, a medical floor or two, at least 2-3 restaurants, at least 1 coffee shop, a bank branch, et c.

Some of these might need to be ground floor so that they can leverage the foot traffic in the neighborhood, but it might be possible to build the lowest few floors in a mall style around a 3-4 story central atrium so that the retail locations can be visible to anyone who walks in, sort of similar to the Berlin Hauptbahnhof that has pharmacies, food, retail, grocery, et c: all visible when you walk inside.

You'll know you've got it when a particularly indoorsy type could live inside the single structure for months to a year without leaving the building.
What did you do such that we could trust your take?
Just an FYI chemo truthers arent that new. They are older than flat earthers which started sprawling fairly recently in the last few years.

Given how expensive chemotherapy is can you blame anyone. Theres also another batch anti corn syrup, anti fluoride toothpaste, anti eating meat, anti self driving cars, anti electronical voting, and so on. The list goes on. And on....
Money is not speech, but speaking publicly on a scale larger than a literal soap box on a street corner has never been free. Banning spending money to express oneself is banning expression just like banning paying for raw milk is banning raw milk.

And groups do have voting rights. That's how Congress works. The U.S. is a republic.
I’m an advocate for nuclear energy, but I acknowledge that there are some strong downsides. Per my analysis, those downsides are worth it, compared to the alternative (millions of death from coal pollution, climate change, etc.), but it’s not the same as people who have a completely wrong belief about things like vaccines, climate change, or chemotherapy. Of course, in some cases even chemotherapy isn’t worth it, such as very old people who would rather not suffer the pain and would rather dir quickly.

Also, GMOs are probably not spoken against for the reasons you think. Most anti-GMO advocates (that I know) are advocating against them because of the dangerous business model of companies like Monsanto that sue farmers because GMO seeds blow into the farmers’ fields, not because of mistaken beliefs about the health risk.
> Most notably, the model allows Google to avoid the "diamond dependency" problem (see Figure 8) that occurs when A depends on B and C, both B and C depend on D, but B requires version D.1 and C requires version D.2. In most cases it is now impossible to build A. For the base library D, it can become very difficult to release a new version without causing breakage, since all its callers must be updated at the same time. Updating is difficult when the library callers are hosted in different repositories.

A mortality rate of 0.7% for elective procedures sounds high. What counts as elective but carries such risk? Is it similar in other countries?
Some parts of anti-nuclear movement hold a position "ban nuclear no matter what". But for example, what happened in Germany, is nuclear plants being replaced by coal and gas plants.

Then discussion moved to if nuclear plant will be replaced by coal plant, is it really that better in the end? When faced that question, it was observed that anti-nuclear movement splits, where one side thinks that nuclear makes sense to stop coal, while another thinks that we must ban nuclear even if whole planet will die from climate change.

This is why, at least in Germany, some parts of anti-nuclear movement can be perceived as somewhat radical.

This is HN, let’s use anecdata!

“Darien (/dɛəriˈæn/) is a town in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States 37 miles northeast of New York City. With a population of 20,732 for the 2010 census and a land area of just under 13 square miles, it is the smallest town on Connecticut's "Gold Coast". It also has the youngest population of any non-college town in Connecticut and has a high rate of marriage. Darien is one of the wealthiest communities in the U.S.; listed at #2 on CNN Money's list of "top-earning towns" in the United States as of 2010. Bloomberg's 2019 "America's 100 Richest Places" ranking placed Darien in the top 10, with an average household income of $341,090.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darien,_Connecticut

So Darien is where they put the Costco:

https://www.storeopeninghours.com/costco-darien-ct

Across the street further towards Norwalk are Homegoods, Walmart, Stop-and-Shop, etc. Further into Darien, Trader Joes and Whole Foods.

The 6 figure crossovers are all parked at Costco and the Darien grocers.
Chemo quality of life can be terrible and costs can be insane. Choosing to die is often a reasonable choice to suffering terribly and going bankrupt for a chance of survival
On openwrt I like small utils. As ssh is fine: having a look adhoc who is a bandwith hog, I check with iftop and press "t" to cycle to one-line-sent view and "s" to aggregate to the receiver see https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/network_monitor... - there's no key yet to toggle per item total amount, but this can be had by using "show-totals" in an .iftoprc file:

line-display: one-line-sent
hide-source: yes
dns-resolution: yes
show-totals: yes
show-bars: yes
use-bytes: yes
sort: 10s

downside is: iftop as far as I know can't filter multiple interfaces, so you'd need to check them separately with -i eth0 / -i wlan0.
If you're mainly concerned about latency, give the package "sqm-scripts" a try. You're sacrificing a bit of bandwith for active queue management. So a VoIP session is not affected by a download.
