I don't know what you're trying to accomplish with this kind of speculation in the context of the thread (namely: infected people might not develop immunity, therefore herd immunity might not be possible).

Is it possible that we won't develop an effective vaccine? Yes, of course. We've never successfully made a coronavirus vaccine.

But 1) that doesn't tell you much about the natural state of immunity for a virus (i.e. there are/were lots of viruses that infer immunity for which we had difficulty creating a vaccine), and 2) let's say you're right, and it isn't possible to gain immunity at all...what are we supposed to do then? Lock ourselves inside forever?

Obviously, we're eventually going to end this, one way or another. Either we achieve herd immunity, or we just learn to live with another endemic virus that is occasionally fatal to a small percentage of the infected.

I feel like there are a lot of "contrarian" types here who just want to make a fetish of the societal doom aspect of this thing.
Why not just use JSON paths and store the data in JSON?
1) a player performs some sort of input into a game
2) the game responds with some sort of audiovisual phenomena in regards to that input
3) 1 and 2 are repeated, creating a relationship between the player and the game

You can reduce that to "control and achievment". Games give you a little world you can control and achieve something. Even if this something is some value in a meaningless counter (like cookie clicker, I was hooked on that for a while).

Mark Rosewater, a designer of Magic: the Gathering, wrote a very interesting piece on what a "game" is: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/making-magic/w...

He says a useful model is that if the game has no goal, it's better termed a "toy" (like Lego); if it doesn't give you "agency", it's an "event" (like watching a film); if it doesn't have mechanics that restrict what's possible, it's an "activity" (like jogging); and if it has real-world relevance, it's "life".

You often have the dilemma whether something should be a link, or just a button. Links trigger a navigation to another page/URL, although in an "app" it could just render a new view rather then making a new browser request. A button is usually not a navigation, although it can render a new view and also have a unique URL. So the only difference is that you can right click and open in new tab on links, but not on buttons. And then you have to decide if you should style it like a button element or a:href element, where a:href signals to the user that they can right click and open in new tab, while a button does not. But you can also make an a:href look like a button, which can be considered an anti-pattern. Buttons do look nicer then links though. And buttons can also trigger a navigation, like in a form submit, but it's technically difficult to support submitting and open in new tab at the same time, because browsers have a hard separation between tabs, where one tab can't easily access another tab and vice versa. So while it's technically possible UX is often a matter of budget/laziness and stack/architecture.

In a way yes, I think we never apply the rationality to it rigorously, we for example might not question that relationship. So it is a matter of where do you draw the line, and that seems to be a personal choice, which defies an explanation. (And in fact people who try to be rational rigorously seem to behave like psychopaths.)

Don't take this thread the wrong way, I like rationality, and I like Julia's writing on the topic. But it seems to have a fundamental limit, so there is a bit of irrationality always required.

I think you'll really appreciate the IndieWeb's adoption of microformats to enable federation, a brilliant example of it in use to display a timeline-esque rendering of contributors can be found on their directory: http://indieweb.xyz.

Instead of posting directly to the directory, you enable your website with certain HTML tags and upon publishing a new page or blog entry, it federates out via webmention and anyone who subscribes to the directory gets your content.

In my opinion this is the social-media web we should have gotten.

Edit: Also, about your app...I love the UI. I can't read much of what's on the page, but I'll run your readme through a translator to learn more. Good luck!

Does this not strike anyone else as just... incredibly pretentious? I have played every animal crossing except Animal Forest E+ which iirc never released outside of Japan. Is it not possible to want to make a more relaxing game?

While it's true that making a game that i.e. touches on real estate inherently makes a statement... I doubt that was the express goal of the developers.

The developers obviously needed a UX solution to the various new features added to the game. It fits in with the game's opening theme of being a island getaway for a [presumably] millenialish crowd. I don't see why this is so complicated.

Sometimes games are just games, and sometimes they -are- political commentary on society. This whole article just reeks of the bullshit I often heard while I was getting my film major.

I could sit here and spin articles full of flowery language about practically any game, distorting the mechanics to fit whatever political or sociological lens I wanted. Throw in current events for good measure.

I couldn't take this article seriously any further after this point.

As a self proclaimed expert on reading comprehension, maybe reread my comment instead of spending 311 words being defensive about being caught getting the facts wrong.

I'll restate it for you: The crisis in building is bottom up. The senate has marginal relevance to most building, be it local housing or bigger infrastructure projects like bridges, airports, or dams. Even if the filibuster was eliminated, projects wouldn't proceed because there is enough local power to stop them. So calling out the senate is misplaced priority. You need to loosen up the local level first, then worry about getting more federal money flowing.

I.e., "What percentage of 'building' is blocked because of a filibuster in the senate"? Not much. If you want proof, look back at 2009 when the Senate was willing to dump a ton of money into infrastructure, and nothing interesting got built. The money was directed into a bunch of non controversial road projects and maintenance that would have happened anyway.
According to those guidelines, YouTube would have to censor the US president's Thursday’s White House coronavirus task force briefing.

So, that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me.” --Donald Trump

YouTube isn't able to perfectly apply this "complies with WHO" filter. Even if it would, some dangerous crackpot talk is actually newsworthy. Newsworthy as in we need to know that this harmful dribble came from the US president's mouth.

Can you explain how the WHO is given "absolute authority"?

The WHO has a list of medical guidance. I've yet to see anyone in this thread complain about any of the medical guidance the WHO has provided. The most relevant is likely this page: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2.... None of this is controversial.

> put out recommendations to keep borders open

This is incorrect. The WHO recommended against banning travel from certain parts of the world. Completely closing you borders (to non-citizens) was not covered. You can read the WHO's actual statement[1], and it's well reasoned. The value of unrestricted travel for emergency equipment and personnel outweighs the value of restricted travel from certain areas. But short term restrictions are alright if necessary to build up infrastructure (iow, to flatten the curve temporarily).

> about not needing to wear masks.

They recommend against random everyday people using medical masks. Given the PPE shortage, this is not unreasonable advice. They defer to local authorities for more stringent recommendations.

> And then the fact that WHO basically pretended Taiwan doesn't exist

Does this impact their medical advice?

When I say stupidity I don't mean mistakes.

From the article:

> At that point, it was decided that something easier had to be done. The barrier to entry for safe and sane rollouts had to be lowered even more to bring more teams on board.

Why does something have to be easy for a team of professional software engineers to do it correctly? Make things easier to improve productivity, sure, but in my opinion awkward/difficult/complex tooling isn't a license to cut corners.
It's for your own good. :) This is what my own government say every time they want to control the population. Luckily freedom of speech stands very firm in my own country of Norway, but it does not prevent the state from using the phrase.

As for the validity, when policies are in the open, which they mostly are over here, and it is clear what it is based upon, then far more people willingly accept them, because they can look into the facts themselves. They can even discuss conspiracy theories if they wish, but no one buys them, because good information is readily available. So when Norway claims that something is "for your own good," it is actually mostly true, despite the negative connotation the phrase has in most other countries.

The opposite tends to happen when information is subdued and censored, which is regretfully the route YouTube is now on. They're taking a path which is more similar to a state bureau than a private company. You're left to only speculate as to why they would do something like that, but it's likely that it is a combination of social justice leadership and governmental cooperation. As such, their difference from a state bureau is starting to blur.

The strategy of top-down censorship is sadly a strategy most employed in purely Socialist and Communist countries. But then that shouldn't be very surprising when you also see the position YouTube is in, which is so much of a market leader that they border on a monopoly.

While I can't speak for YouTube directly, since most video services are indeed free, one of the main business practises to retain such a position, is to bleed money to keep most of their services priced so low as to destroy all competition. YouTube is in a bit of a different position, howeve, because their service, particularly their suggeston service, is far better than most if not all competitors. But every time they employ censorship in any form, they bleed customers to alternative platforms, and the effect of their censorship is diminished, if not outright reversed.

Good news! It's not anything like CS.

Things you need to learn, not an inclusive list, before med school: Chemistry, drug interactions, A&P, Ethics, Statistics, Maths, and Biology.

That's (6, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4) 18 courses minimum. Remembering that they have to be done sequentially rather than concurrently and you're looking at, bare minimum, 2 years rather than 2 semesters.

This is as it should be. To bring it back to your CS example, if you are making a web app and you fail to secure your attack surface, the worst that happens is that folks get their info stolen. If you fail to do your drug interaction math correctly, people die.

> I don't think its use in the Constitution can be reasonably described as "colloquial"

"Arms" was used in colloquial speech and legal use at the time which converged on approximately the same definition. It's late, but there are some resources on guncite that support this argument. They're all worth reading beyond this reason, mind you, and there are plenty of arguments there that disagree with mine.

Either way, it makes for good reading should you find a topic there you're not already familiar with, and even if you are, there are some interesting twists. I don't necessarily agree with all of them.

> Of course my opinion is an extreme outlier given current jurisprudence on this topic, to say the least.

Suffice it to say that I understand where you're coming from, but in my definition a broad application of "military small arms" is probably more accurate according to my understanding of what was intended. The problem is that I don't know, nor will we ever know for certain, since the militia (rather, the people) were to act as the nascent US' standing army. I rather wish this point were discussed in civics classes, but it's not. So, the younger generations are woefully unaware of history, much to no one's surprise...

Anyway, while I also wish we could undo some of the impingement on our rights by legal challenges made in the 20th century, I'm afraid that would be an uphill battle (as you also allude) given how panicked the general public is on loosening firearms restrictions thanks in large part to the unnecessarily excessive coverage of mass shootings that seem focused primarily on stoking fear.

But, if you allowed me, I'd probably rant all night about this subject which wouldn't do either of us much good by the sounds of it, other than reaching continued agreement and probably upsetting other readers.

Agreed. Somewhat surprised to have this conversation on HN of all places, TBH.

I live in an open carry state and sometimes exercise that right, particularly since I live in an area sometimes subject to wild animals. But while I would love to do the same with an AR, I suspect that would probably get me called in to the local sheriff's office. Not that they would care, but I would be disappointed if someone thought it apropos to waste their time.

The thing with flat-file cms is, they are often represented as a category of cms, but they are actually not all the same.

There is the type that just saves its data in file form, just like you would in a db. And I never get why this would be desirable. You loose all the benefits of a db system without gaining much.

The other type, the interesting one, is the one where you can work directly on those flat files, not needing some kind of admin interface. Now this can be great!

But it often seems more flat-file cms belong to the former category. I do not know why one would prefer these if you still need a server with a dynamic language and a web interface to edit content. Just use a db!

I never heard of headless API CMS Systems before, but it honestly sound really silly. If you write a front end that consumes JSON, you could just as well write a front end that made db calls. And if you must have JSON, write a wrapper around your db. Having that stuff hosted by someone else is just peak cloud nonsense.
