Unfortunately, humans are to some extent intrinsically tribal (when Haidt calls us "90% ape, 10% beehive", I think he's being exceptionally generous). This is so pervasive in our nature, it tends to be unconscious: if I consider an existential crisis for the opposing political party to win, I'll likely filter my thinking to that end, minimizing faults and maximizing virtues in my party, and doing the opposite with my opponents. As they do the same, it creates a race to the bottom, and all norms and decorum and fairness go out the window, in pursuit of victory and raw power.

Jason Brennan makes a compelling case [0] that democracy makes this problem worse. A lot can be chalked up to our electoral process being an utter failure of implementing democracy, from campaign finance corruption to First-Past-The-Post (to say nothing of more advanced ideas like holacracy, liquid democracy, public choice econ, etc); nonetheless, there's a case that the tribal dynamics inherent to politics creates perverse incentives for truth-seeking and sense-making.

I'm starting to think that democracy is only the second-worst system (except for all the others), and we'd get better results with a completely random lottery [1].

The way to game that is to just upvote random comments that you don't care about in stories that you don't care about, just to have made enough upvotes to enable you to downvote again.
There was a news item about someone who took it and was seriously poisoned. People predictably blamed the President.
I thought the benefit of pass-through entities was the opposite--push through what would otherwise be salary as lesser-taxed (no FICA) profit?

If your company has $100k to play with, paying $200k salary to take $100k loss is not a good move.

That's all well and good, but, given a sufficiently large array, it's a matter of when, not if, you'll need to recover from a failed disk, rebuilding a RAID array is precisely the expected sort of workload for a NAS — and a workload that reports indicate these drives fail at.
That is how I view it in the US as well. My fault? Fired. The company's fault (or "nobody's")? Laid off.

Somewhat off-topic but yeah, I can understand your frustration... And it would naturally be great if airlines would be able to accommodate for people not fitting into average parameters. But it's also a tricky proposition, as you surely understand. Should obese people get huge, two person sized seats? Should people with stiff joints automatically get extra legroom? Should people with a cold have no passengers in a 2 meter radius around them? How do the airlines check/verify these things (yes, height is obv easy)?

Besides, even having the option to pay for extra legroom is what I'm missing altogether from the mobile phone market. Do you see my point? At least you have the option when it comes to legroom. I don't have any sub 5" options when it comes to Android phones, even though I would be prepared to pay extra for it.
Drill days were especially rough. We called them Vulcan Death Watches, although I have heard other nicknames as well.

There's a lot of nukes in this forum, but for the all the non-nukes out there, drills use all three of the ship's shifts. The on-watch shift is normally assisted by the off-going shift in emergencies. The on-coming shift then supervises, runs, and observes the drills.

So one way or another, all three shifts are going to be up and awake during the drill cycle. The typical rotation for us packed 3x 4-hours shifts in to the same time that would normally be occupied by 2x 6-hour shifts. So the pre-dawn shift and evening shift would have both of the off-watch thirds of the crew taking personal time while all three of the morning and mid-day drill shifts have everyone awake.

It more or less takes your body clock and smashes it with a sledgehammer.

It also prepares you mentally for just about anything.

I don't know if people are aware of this, but there's an increasing suspicion that countries still using the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis might be seeing [1]way lower infection rates.

If that's the case, it'd explain why developed countries are bearing the brunt of the pandemic. A very interesting example of similarly developed countries with comparable (but not equal) populations and population density, but different vaccination regimes are Portugal and Spain. Looking at their [2]respective [3]charts, the differences are stark. A similar difference can be seen between Ecuador and Argentina, even though the Greater Buenos Aires area is very population dense.

If this pans out, following the trends and [4] this map would validate that hypothesis.

> Regardless I many people who had preexisting conditions pre-ACA, and it never affected coverage.

This mostly affected the individual and small-group markets, in which a pre-existing condition either disqualified you for coverage, made it prohibitively expensive, or explicitly excluded coverage for that condition (sometimes, the exclusion was only for a set period of time).

Typical failure modes were: individuals unable to get coverage on the open market; small businesses and non-profits that offered employees health insurance being forced to fire people because they got expensive illnesses and their insurance providers threatened to 10x their premiums; etc.

It made entrepreneurship and freelancing a much harder choice for many (typically older-than-30) folks, especially since you risked getting fired & losing insurance if you worked alone or for a small-ish firm.

Some states had remedies for these issues -- either through a high-risk pool for people who were rejected in the individual market (though often these policies had coverage limits that made them not ideal), or through guaranteed-issue insurance in the small group market (i.e., if you and a partners start a business, insurance companies in your area who serve small groups HAVE to a) insure you, b) not charge you more than 10% the average rate, and c) renew your insurance when it's up for renewal, usually annually).

California in particular had both these in place pre-ACA.

Ask me how I know. :/
yes, please. sign me up for all of the above. let's get a fairer, more dynamic economy that discouraging rent-seeking and encourages risk-taking and innovation. wealth concentration is a symptom of a broken, plutocratic system, not a capitalistic one.
The problem is this:

What ordinary corporate patrons want is incompatible with avoiding climate collapse at this point. Maybe we could have pulled it off if we started in the 00s, but the cure is going to be far more painful today, after we wasted two decades.

Ordinary corporate patrons aren't interested in higher energy costs, much higher transportation costs, and economic contraction. They aren't interested in getting net CO2 emissions down to zero. Given the two options, they would rather take the climate collapse outcome.
I think calling it selfishness is too simplistic. In my opinion, and this pandemic is a confirmation of sorts, people are just really bad at understanding dangers that are far away in physical distance or time.

While Covid-19 was clearly a pretty big problem in China, in the Western Hemisphere we were virtually oblivious to the dangers. Hell, people still went on vacation to northern Italy while warnings were being raised.

Nothing in our evolution has prepared us to deal with distant dangers like the ones we’re facing now.
The physical footprint, weight, etc have gone up but ergonomically they're made for the same size person. I can either sit on the floor or push my head into the ceiling and it's hard to find anything where my eyes aren't level with the top of the windshield.

>I was wondering why the animation was so stuttery and then I saw they are using setInterval for the animation...

setInterval isn't the problem. He's animating the CSS position (top, left), which triggers a full reflow and causes the stuttering. Always animate with translate3d, which is GPU accelerated.
> 160k of tuition.

Missing interest - unless you really want to fuck yourself in the short term. 160k of tuition costs more like $300k with the standard payment play. Good luck if you have undergrad debt. Could easily add $500k more to your debt load.

> 80k x 4 = 320k lost wages.

Try a number closer to $400k. Also a good portion of MD's take a gap year for research either during med school or before residency. Potentially adds a year.

> 30k x 3 Delta wages.

3 years is for family medicine, most other specialities are 4 years - so add a year. Surgery is more like 8 years.

This wage delta is more on the order of $80k to $100k+ per year. I have friends who are closer to $150k+ per year wage gap compared to their MD spouses.

For my wife and I this number will be $400k.

$300k + $400k + $400k = $1.1m+ difference.

> You said 30 years. I'm counting 2.

You're counting two because you're only looking at salary and not the salary difference. I'm counting 15 at minimum on a pure salary income.

My wife is also working 80/hours week. I'm working 40. It will take into our 50's before my wife makes more on a per hour basis than I do. If I worked 80 hours per week, my wife would never catch up.
That's because your account is rate-limited. We rate limit accounts when they post too many low-quality comments too quickly and/or get involved in flamewars. We're happy to take the rate limit off (and often do) when people give us reason to believe that they'll use the site as intended in the future. Emailing hn@ycombinator.com is the best way to do that.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Edit: I took a look at your account's recent comments because often we just remove rate limits when the problem has been corrected. Unfortunately, in this case the opposite is true. Would you please stop using HN primarily for political and ideological battle? It destroys the curious conversation that HN is intended for, so we have to ban accounts that do it.

Steve Jobs' Advice on Becoming More Productive Is Quite Brilliant
yeah exactly, dates may not be important in some contexts, but we're talking about information display - on the browse... area of your blog or index page -- it may be important to the reader to know when something was written/posted. i.e. I went browse to see more posts on that site and saw a post called 'Work From Home', with no date. I wanted to know if it was written ages ago or perhaps very recently when working from home became very relevant to today's coronavirus society.

Also, I think for better or worse, as internet surfers, we've come to expect things to be somewhat sorted chronologically as default, so unless you're pulling some 'highlight' articles out to feature etc, we're conditioned to expect the list/index as date sorted for the most part....
I wish I shared your optimism. I see photos of remote places, that have issues I don't have to worry about (being sarcastic here, I've literally been there and experienced that smog, its terrible even short term).

I guess people need to feel immediate and very personal threat and loss to change their view. That's the problem - to change entrenched view of billions, to move from not-my-problem to my-problem-too. Would be nice to use some psychological tricks. Don't ask me which ones

For COVID-19, that's real.

For significant global warming or climate change from CO2 from human activities, there is no, none, nichts, nil, nada, zip, zilch, zero meaningful scientific evidence of anything real. The evidence is overwhelming that the whole concern, especially from the NYT, is a flim-flam, fraud, scam by various special interests to get money and power from everyone else.

Plenty of details are in

Then think about COVID-19.
Aren't there more than two explanations for "won't" beyond (1) ignorance or (2) malice? Perhaps we are the ones who are ignorant for why things are this way.
That seems backwards: with NAT you couldn't identify all of the individual computers on my Internet connection; but now, with IPv6, you either can at worst (as every device has its own IP address that it reuses) or, at best (generating a new address for every single connection), are just getting yourself back to where you were with NAT. I appreciate that for a while IPv6 was actively much worse as it allowed address correlation across multiple networks (due to the MAC address being the same in the lower 64 bits), but fixing that doesn't make it better than NAT: if you mostly care about privacy, it still seems to make the most sense to use NAT if at all possible.

I've noticed this trait with myself in a number of other aspects (operating system--no way I'm going back to Windows after having used Linux for years!), but luckily I haven't been spoiled by other people's good audio equipment yet.

If you haven't gotten into high-end audio already, I'm guessing you're not the type who "listens to equipment" as opposed to listening to music. So long as you're paying more attention to the music than the minute differences between exponentially more expensive pairs of headphones (or DACs and amps), you're probably not going to have the problem you're afraid of. I can rarely hear the difference between my midrange Sony wireless headphones and my friend's super fancy open-back headphones when there's an equalizer profile applied to each to make them sound similar.
Iceland’s peak was significantly more recent than China or South Korea which continued to have regular deaths over a month after their peak. So, my expectation is their deaths will likely double in the next three weeks. Which would be consist with ~1/2 their ICU cases dying. That said it’s a small sample size so significant variability is possible.

Just compare new cases vs new deaths here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_S... vs new cases here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_I...

On the positive side, they seem to have contained the virus extremely successfully which was likely aided by a low population density, early reaction, and good testing.
> Personally, I like to make RAID mirrors with drives of different brands, or at least different models. Even it it is not ideal for performance, it helps making sure that not all drives fail at the same time.

This is exactly my approach lately, and it works great for RAID10 arrays (where you only need 2 or 3 different vendors - one per side of the mirror - to mitigate shared bathtub curves). I usually go with SSDs nowadays, though (half Crucial, half Kingston), both for performance reasons and because they rebuild faster (and also because the limited lifetime of flash memory makes some sort of RAID essential for longevity, though this has been less of a problem with modern flash tech); if I really needed the capacity of magnetic media I'd probably opt for a WD / Toshiba split.
It's both pre/post work, and focus.

Some meetings need more mental focus than others, so stacking them can in fact can cause the same sort of problem you are trying to avoid with other work (i.e. "focus time").

cycling through sounds like a decent approach.

U.S. senator says Apple, Google need to show tracing will not violate privacy
A couple years ago I nearly got the opportunity to teach at a Bootcamp (one of the non-scammy ones). I got turned down very late in the process mainly on lack of experience, but I really felt strongly that I would enjoy it, and be good at it. One of my strongest skills is articulating concepts, and there's something enticing about forever remaining adjacent to that part of the journey where code is really exciting, before it becomes a drudgery.

Anyway. I hadn't really thought about it in a while, but maybe I'll try for that again in the future. I don't hate bit-slinging quite yet ;)
Where can one buy SMR drives that the host can at least reliably coerce into not using their cache/staging area? It should be quite feasible to tune/adapt btrfs to exhibit writing patterns that don't make the drive use it's staging area, but it'd still be compatible because the drive would start to make use of that staging area when needed. Some way to overwrite the superblocks without triggering SMR problems or something like that would be nice, but that's of lower importance to me, at least.

Just supporting TRIM and exposing/documenting the SMR layout/regions would be enough, I think. I'd like to buy that.
This is the time period for OpenDoor to either be a proven business model or a failure. If they survive the next 24 months, their value should be absolutely huge. If they fail, it proves that the business cannot handle periodic downturns.

One thing I don't see in these announcements are extended exercise windows. That would be a basic thing to offer employees, and someone should keep a list of HR/Finance/C-suite people at companies that do or don't do this during this period.
I’m in the same boat as you. I waited until iPhone 6 to buy my first iPhone precisely because the previous ones were too small for my usage. But, I full get the appeal for a smaller phone. I don’t expect Apple would revert back to the SE size though. They’re clearly optimising their manufacturing process to “eat leftovers” and reuse pipelines
It is very important to distinguish asymptomatic (does not have symptoms and will never develop them) from presymptomatic (does not have symptoms yet, because the test caught the infection sufficiently early). The people in this study are mostly presymptomatic, and will develop symptoms later.
You do realize that, yes, "most [doctors] are not trained in doing controlled trials" because they have another job, the job of being a doctor? Running large RCTs takes time and a different sort of education.

Source: married to a physician who usually has a 1,200 patient panel, with a diversity of conditions; said physician spouse was at one point recruited to run an RCT for a drug company and did a lot of work to prepare and then pulled out because spouse figured out they'd not be allowed the latitude to improve the study design, and felt that the study design was slanted inappropriately to supporting the efficacy of the drug (it was not being compared to standard of care but instead to a demonstrably inferior treatment, a previous standard of care).

Yeah, objectivity and politics don't mix. There are people who do RCTs and do them well, and they're not just random doctors kind of scattering drugs among their patient panel.
I really wish Apple, Garmin, Google, Fitbit would start working on body temperature sensors. It doesn't need to be realtime like a heartbeat sensor to be useful, but seeing a 0.5-1.0 average daily body temperature increase could encourage A LOT of people to stay home or go get tested
Wow. Given the number of items they ship in a day, a million-dollar fine every mistake could turn out to be a lot of money. I'd shut down, too.

EDIT: I read elsewhere that it was a million euros per day, not per infraction. Much more reasonable.
This sounds like circular FUD to me.
Interesting that the BBC says the fine is €1M per day while Amazon says it is €1M per infraction. Which is it?

It's like they think we don't remember hearing about how he was the only honest, incorruptible candidate in the field because he was self-funded and "said what he thought," rather than "talking like a politician."
