I wasn't suggesting you did that.

I have both suicidal ideation and escapist fantasies. I spent years fantasizing about moving to a small coastal town, which I more or less basically did about 2.5 years ago. (I'm on a river coast, not an ocean coast, 20 minutes or so from the ocean and we get tidal surge here and brackish waters.)

When I first got here, my life was still frustrating and I would have escapist fantasies of just leaving and moving to a small coastal town somewhere and then realize I already live in a small coastal town. I never quite knew how to feel about that. Like "Um, I win? I guess. At least I don't need to pack my bags and move. I'm here already."

With living here, my life is slowly coming together and I much less often have that fantasy of "I'm just going to up and leave and move to a small coastal town, damn it!" But it wasn't immediate. Arriving here didn't promptly fix everything about my life, even though it was immediately a huge improvement over what I had been experiencing.

I think it's pretty normal to want immediate relief of some kind and to, on some level, recognize that "These people and this place and yadda -- that's a big part of the problem." and the logical inference is that if you could just get away from these people and this place, things would be immediately better.

So it's kind of like wishing for an "easy button" for life when life is frustrating.

But there's also truth to the saying "Wherever you go, there you are." Not all problems are cured by just getting away from these people or this place.

It took me a lot of years to resolve some of my problems. I persisted because I didn't feel I really had another option. I could work on it or I could kill myself, basically. It certainly wasn't acceptable to just accept the problems I had and make my peace with simply living with those issues. Something had to change, so I just kept at it, even though it took a long time to make changes happen.

For me, my idea of "I would like to live in a small coastal town" is something I was eventually able to arrange and it is proving to be better than anything else I've ever had. But it still is something that is growing on me, so to speak.

And that's just my personal story. It's not advice and I'm not telling you what you should do.
As someone who has not used Tiktok what does Tiktok do differently from existing products like Instagram? Wouldn't videos in Instagram stories/posts already cover Tiktok's usecase?

For the sake of argument, what is the repurchase price here, and if the company "repurchase" it, does the money go to the employees?
you know, there are plenty of batshit insane Democrats out there too. I don't see how you can put all republicans in the same basket (nor can you Democrats).

I just got to wondering this lately when I see so many people digging in so hard on political views (or even programming language stuff.)
It doesn't really say that: it just repeats the standard advice that 4000 IU is the safe upper limit. The real answer is to get yourself tested regularly if you supplement large amounts of D3. (I'd advise taking K2 with it too, but do your own research.)
I read this article a while back, and immediately one intersection in my locale came to mind. So on my next trip through it in my car, I took a careful look. Sure enough, my impression was that it would be hard to see a cyclist, or even an approaching car. Of course I'm always careful, but now I'm extra careful.
Homelessness is, unfortunately, not a uniform block.

Some chunk are from out of state. Some chunk are mentally ill. Some chunk are addicted to drugs. Some chunk have physical ailments. Some chunk are fleeing abuse.

This is what makes homelessness so intractable. Even if you fix a chunk, that's probably less that 20% of the problem. Now, you've spent a lot of money, made no visible progress on the problem, and have a bunch of people clamoring about how you wasted money.
Nobody makes any money if it turns out to be a good treatment, so nobody will fund the research
I invested in TSLA at $212 / share. Elon is nuts, but the 200 TLSA shares I'm still holding (I sold a few to cover all of my initial capital expense) are doing just fine.

Nuts or not, his track record is getting things done others thought impossible. Now the industry is starting to come around that yes, you can in fact use machine vision in place of lidar since Tesla has published how they essentially use the same algorithms as LIDAR due to the way they structured their neural nets. Let's not forget this is the guy that invented what became (x.com) paypal before online banking even existed. He also made one of the very first online "phone books" before going to invest in early stage Tesla and land orbital class rockets on boats, something no government has even ever done.
Seems kind of rudimentary. Namely

That's crazy. Would be interesting to see WTF a "mega-alpha" actually does using these strategies.
Sweden also has numerous tax breaks for buying electric vehicles, and does not properly tax the externalities of producing electric cars (running/refueling EVs, however, has very minimal negative externalities)
Of course what Musk does matters. He's the CEO.

And his erratic and reprehensible behaviour is degrading the Tesla brand as well as reaffirming the long held idea amongst shareholders that he is too unstable to be running the company.
Wow, no kidding. That is awful.

I am utterly impressed by the area's residents inability to push back on this order. For your safety you will do what you are told. I thought the brainiacs in silicon valley could do math. Maybe you can and just forgot how to stand up for your rights.

It’s possible to get one of these e-ink display boards with an ESP32 microprocessor for not much more than the display alone. It has onboard WiFi and makes for an even smaller unit since there is no need to attach it to a Pi. It also ditches the operating system so you get an instant boot.

Programming is via PlatformIO, MicroPython or Rust (if you’re adventurous! - Rust is not quite ready for ESP32). Has reignited my interest in coding after a hiatus, and there is something that feels special about these eink displays.
Oh feel free to disregard this. But maybe try to refrain from arguing against people’s changed views. It might discourage comments.

That's not the worst idea, like that they'll take the stop sign serious. In Europe, stop signs can only be installed at certifiably dangerous junctions, but in the current state the intersection doesn't look half as bad as it actually is.

Tesla relies on high volume to make money; the other automakers are pricing EVs based more on margin. An economic slow down hurts volume much more than it hurts margins.

Tesla also relies heavily on first-mover advantage to grow. With the virus stalling everything, all the more cash rich automakers get time to catch up on R&D, while Tesla is stalled from being unable to physically expand. Tesla also becomes more cash starved from falling stock prices than other automakers.

Then there's the drop in gasoline prices which naturally makes Tesla much less cost competitive vs ICE vehicles in its major markets (US/China). Added bonus of traditional automakers benefiting from low gasoline prices because historically consumers buy higher margin vehicles (truck/SUVs) when gas prices are low.

So it's multiple various disadvantages hitting Tesla all at once that's likely to continue for a couple of years.
Actually there was a big difference between this tweet (expressing his opinion) and the 420 tweet, which was a statement on a material fact. There exist special laws for CEOs of all public companies, and he should be extremely careful about those statements. The new CFO helps Elon with those though, and Elon just gives really boring statements about the future numbers (as opposed to the products, where he can get more crazy).
I guess the longer term question is --

As mentioned in the daily governor's briefing, there is some kind of 2D matrix (or map) of places vs. types of activities or businesses that can be incrementally allowed to open or get to different levels of restrictions lifted. (or I hope this is the case, and not just a talking point)

How are people to know / track this? Is there some visual dashboard that everyone can refer to daily and hopefully have consistent definitions to know whether their business is covered? Press conferences (and press releases in inevitable text form) are an inefficient method having to speak the words of each change in circumstance as this continues to evolve. New Zealand seems to have a clear system of Level 1/2/3/4 that everyone has the definitions of.

This is going to have to go on for months, remember.

I used to think that, too. Then I read this post[1]. JUUL has more nicotine than a cigarette and there’s less friction to using it: a 10 second hit instead of a 10 minute cigarette and there’s no need to find a lighter or go outside. It also doesn’t really smell so it’s easy to use discretely.

All of that adds up to people who think JUUL is safer or can help them quit but it actually gets them hooked even more.

It’s like trying to cure a coffee addiction by switching to a shot of espresso. It might look like cutting back but it’s really doubling up.

I make sure they start slowing down, or else I'll slow down. I've been cut off by people who did not have the right of way and still took it.

If I gamble like you're saying, I would have been in some bad accidents. To prevent that, I just keep an eye on them, take my foot off the accelerate if necessary, lightly apply the brakes if necessary, etc. It's a dance, and it's not hard to avoid.

My mindset, to be clear, is that we want more people to strive to be like Bill Gates with their wealth. Even determining who that is right now is extraordinarily difficult. Making the data public is step #1, and then figuring out how to help them leverage philanthropy effectively is step #2.

Note that you are confusing me with another user (Filligree) who started the thread and initially threw these "10-20%" figures. Personally I do not believe 10-20% of the world population will die.

«I don't know what else I can say other than this is a dumb statement»

Not dumb. It's a good approximation, especially because post-pandemic times (after people have regained their jobs, which might take months/years) will be identical to pre-pandemic times with the ONLY difference being that a certain percentage of Americans will have died prematurely. That percentage will directly translate to an economic loss.

Look, the fact your post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23019875) was severely downvoted indicates most HN users disagree with you. I tried to take the time to explain to you why. You don't get it. I don't have any more energy to spend on this discussion.

Specifically I'd consider the main title to be: "billionaire board" the title caption to be "These are the world's most powerful people.

Generally one would prefer safety features to be fail-safe, not fail-deadly, i.e. traffic lights that give you green when there is no cross-traffic is OK, but warning only if something is detected is used only in limited circumstances.
The death rate is clearly not growing exponentially. Try switching the scale to logarithmic in your link. It's basically linear right now based on some other graphs I've seen, but it's hard to tell due to reporting delays. Since the number of people in hospital has been stable for about two weeks now, I would be very surprised to see the daily deaths increase by a lot.

A case for ending lockdown
If it's not obvious, I wrote this.

The intent is to be a fairly comprehensive coverage of what we know about COVID-19 and what it means for our policy. Note that the article is written from a US-based perspective although I suspect it's relevant to a broader audience.

In general, I believe that the case against lockdown has been highly stigmatized and thus many people have not been exposed to a convincing argument of why some of us feel that our response has actually made things worse.

I encourage any pull requests (see the very final section).

If you're short on time, I'd recommend at least reading https://www.ryankemper.io/post/2020-04-29-the_case_for_endin..., which has a readability score (Flesch-Kincaid, etc) of around a middle school level and is extremely brief and to the point.

For those who have a bit more time but still not enough for the whole article, I'd recommend at least reading https://www.ryankemper.io/post/2020-04-29-the_case_for_endin.... In particular understanding the age-stratified risk distribution, and how it differs from Influenza, is super important. Finally I'd also recommend checking out the proposal, which ironically is the shortest section: https://www.ryankemper.io/post/2020-04-29-the_case_for_endin...

My first official job after getting my CompSci degree was to work for a DOE funded research center focused on remediation techniques under consideration for various decommissioned nuclear energy sites. My job was to develop a multimedia information system as well as multi criteria automated decision making system focused on the various remediation technologies and their efficacy as they were being tested at decommissioned nuclear power plants. Hanford was one of those places. Oak Ridge was another. The job was cool at first but there was no one to mentor me and a large part of the job was to write monthly reports on progress. The reports were very important and they were an important part of maintaining the grant. I think it would take me like a week to complete the reports with all the editing and churn. After a while, I came to hate the work. Wasn't getting valuable experience and pay was not that good. So, I wound up moving to Silicon Valley to work for a enterprise software vendor where one of my buddies helped me land a coding job. Hope they finally get Hanford and Oak Ridge cleaned up!

But my iPhone does automatically pop up my grocery store membership card on the lock screen when I'm at the grocery store, and my boarding pass when I'm at the airport. I think that's currently done via Wallet and may not help with bus schedules, but a more curated approach does have some value.

> In addition to that, people who are actually "good" at trading don't publish papers, they silently make money.

Well, that is mostly true. But never discount anything. There are people like me who used to love the data analysis and prediction part in these markets. I got hooked to the markets because of it. I was not interested in making money and naively thought my average pay was good enough. When I first built (or my machine built) a working strategy (in early 2008), live traded/tested it for a couple of months and told few colleagues about the details about the strategy - they did not take me seriously. This was even before I understood NNs or any of scikit-learn tooling. I knew I wanted to get into financial markets - went to a broker to sell the automated strategy and seeking a full time job as an algo-trader - they thought I was trying to scam them even after seeing the contract notes. Plus algotrading had not picked up back then. I found later about such scams. It took me 3 more years and a financial crisis to understand the value of making "much more than enough" money. And retrospectively I know those were just stupid attempts trying to convince others and attempting to give it away.
