Thanks, that blog post was quite the intellectual indulgence to read and enjoy.

Thank you for engaging.

So if someone just .... wrote an article after doing a few google searches, what would the consensus be in that scenario?

I can see a few options, two of which require having made steps to avoid this outcome intentionally -

1) always separate your personal from digital profiles and

2) have ways to modify your search rankings ?

I see no public interest value in denying his request to remain pseudonymous.

To publish his name and associate it with his pseudonym - especially in what would obviously become the top Google result - is egregious when he had pleaded for it not to happen.

I'm glad they appear to have backed down but I'm still furious they ever intended to do it, and held the sword of Damocles over his head for so many weeks.
Yes, An-124 is indeed a good cheaper alternative with comparable capabilities for this kind of cargo, but in March-April it seems there was a high demand on all Antonov fleet [1] plus the PR factor is not playing the last role here.

I don't think we're going to have any idea which strategies actually worked for another year or so. If there's a large second wave this winter in other countries, and Sweden doesn't suffer from that due to immunity already acquired, then we may say Sweden's strategy worked. But if other countries that locked down early manage to keep it under control into the winter without having to lock down again (and suffer the economic, psychological and non-covid health consequences of that), and then a vaccine becomes available or other methods to reduce the death toll and health consequences, then we would conclude that the deaths so far were unnecessary and Sweden got it wrong. Most European countries are at the end of the beginning right now, but not necessarily the beginning of the end.
The comparison with other "nordic" countries seems arbitrary. If we go by latitude, why is there such a huge variance in death rates between Belgium, France, Netherlands and Germany?

The biggest factor is probably outbreaks in retirement homes. I think you can make the argument that the strategy failed to protect these elderly people, but it might also be the conditions in these facilities that are to blame.

From what I've seen they seem to worship a version of Sweden that doesn't match reality, though I'm not that well informed on the American left specifically.

I would worry about Russia more. It will go bust sooner or later. If Russia is now a problem for everyone, then it can be not a problem but a disaster.
Don't you think Sweden would have done even worse had they locked down?

This argument that hey look Sweden is still doing badly is ludicrous. Of course they do badly, no country is unaffected, Sweden is more industrialized and depends more on exports than Norway. Norway has a 1 trillion dollar stock market reserve from the oil. They will do fine.

The idea that locking down would have made things better in Sweden is absurd.

As a Norwegian I don't trust a Norwegian newspaper to be anywhere near impartial with regards to the economic question. I also think it's hard to compare Norway and Sweden economically given the amount of money spent on stimulus by Norway this year because of "the oil".

Are the Covid deaths counted the same way? It seems for example that Sweden are very aggressive with labeling a death as Covid and e.g. Finland are undercounting.

The number of cases seems more clear cut, and I agree that it's not clear that the strategy either failed or succeeded. Just pointing out some potential pitfalls comparing even these two relatively similar countries.

Author here, thanks for bringing this up. I'll be looking into this and updating the article
I am 100% for respecting Scott's wish for anonymity and in general there seems to be a strong norm of not giving to much personal information to patients in the psychiatrist and therapist communities.

But Scott doesn't exactly try to be a blank slate to patients, given that he mentions details like his time in Japan and his "struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder" in his public profile as a psychiatrist, which seems to be aimed at patients (there's a big button for booking an appointment).

Of course, there is a difference between making a few superficial details like this available to your patients or millions of words of your essays.

Their strategy might be working if you look at the cases however, lockdowns still seem to be the way more efficient strategy. Sweden is still far away from herd immunity and other European countries which had lockdowns have lowered the cases weeks ago. Even Swedens economy isn't doing much better.
Sure, this wikipedia article is pretty accurate[1]. It comes down to a series of pretty complex issues between South Korea and Japan. Although the current boycott is usually talked about in the news as a result of what SK perceives to be an unfair trade relationship, the tension amongst the average person I talk to comes down to the lack of apology by Japan over comfort women, and more recently the Liancourt Islands[2]. Japan has updated it's High School history curriculum to state the Islands are owned by Japan and not mentioning the disputed status, while SK teaches about the dispute. As a result of all of this, many many Koreans won't shop at Japanese brands[3]. (I am not Korean however I live in Korea)

Good observation.

Writing as second author was a very positive factor very early on. I was an assistant to a research fellow from my second year at uni, mostly because of coding skills. Pretty soon they encouraged me to write a pragraph or two about the implementation details, and I got added to the author list. I felt that was appropriate and a great kickstart to a research career (got my first MIT press journal credit before my bachelor)

I agree however that professors growth-hacking their publication lists with student labor is problematic indeed and looking at first/second author creds is a good way to flag such behavior.
Lab-made virus mimics Covid-19 virus
Looking at the graphs of Sweden's infection rate, it seems like it peaked in early June and then went down. In May/June restrictions were only loosened, not made stricter. So any decrease in infections has to be in spite of the government's strategy, not because of it... right?

And as other commenters have pointed out, the death toll and mortality rate is inexcusable, and there was no economic gain from Sweden's approach. Just because the trend is going in the right direction now doesn't excuse the fact that their response had terrible results compared to neighboring countries.

Property taxes have been structured in such a way that annual increases are part of the design. That hasn't stopped anti-tax activists from doing their best to decimate them as well (see California's Prop 13). The acolytes of the anti-tax movement have done a great job of instilling in people the idea that all tax increases are bad, even if they aren't, and even if they're an attempt to make a tax system fairer (see, for example, the current attempt in Illinois to amend the constitution to eliminate the requirement that the state income tax have a single flat rate—I see a lot of people arguing in bad faith to scare people that this will raise their taxes when, in fact, the overall tax increase from the proposed new rates is low and will be a decrease for most residents, but heaven forbid that people with high six figure incomes have to pay more). There's been a destructive movement in this country against any and all taxes for over forty years and the state of roads is just one symptom of that movement.

How much of your agreement with The Nurture Assumption do you think is from the Most Recently Read Book Fallacy?

I find I’m easily persuaded by good writing, and the most recent book I’ve read tends to hold an outsized slice of my thinking until I’m a book or two past it.
From what I've heard him say, he seems sympathetic to the plight of "ordinary" Americans - i.e., middle/lower-class types who voted for Trump. They're all much less fortunate than him.

I fully understand that people will find his endorsement of Trump repugnant, and look at past statements on gender and rumours of his past-stated positions on race, and find him deeply problematic. And some will be skeptical that he cares sufficiently for all those less fortunate. I have no need to argue the toss on those matters.

But he does earnestly seem to care about the wellbeing of many less-fortunate Americans, and has spoken often of his wish to see a return to the more optimistic days of the 1960s, where shows like The Jetsons portrayed a vision of the future that ordinary people found inspiring. [1]

But even if someone is a completely un-compassionate, self-interested arch-capitalist, it's still in their interests for most people in society to do be doing OK, as it means more people with money to buy products from the companies you invest in, and a more orderly society, which makes it easier to become/remain rich.

As for public transport, he was living in San Francisco when he said that.

The death numbers is not counted the same way in Sweden and Norway, in Sweden they count every one that had covid-19 even if they died of something else after they recovered from corvid-19, they do not count it that way in Norway.

Ask HN: Are there people here who like the modern web?
Or modern web design/development practices in general, and feel frameworks like React and web app development methodologies have made the internet better?

Because I find it kinda confusing that Hacker News gets so much 'here's why the web has gone downhill since the 90s' posts, yet presumably many of these people work at FAANG companies using those exact technologies and design styles.

So is there anyone here who likes modern web development/tech, and maybe even thinks Google/Facebook/Microsoft/Apple/whoever are making the world a better place overall?
At this point in time, asking the question "Was Sweden correct?" feels like pure speculation, more like a betting game. The players (i.e: European countries) did play their cards, but it's way too early to know the result. What's the point of continuously asking?

These Ryzen chips look like game changers for laptops. Intel has stagnated for so long in comparison. Preliminary reports show near desktop performance for the Ryzen chips, and they blow Intel mobile chips out of the water - like 200% faster and much better thermals for sustained computing. On the downside, I've read rumors that Intel is leveraging its OEM relationships to keep AMD processors out of top of the line models such as Thinkpad X1. Intel is also preventing AMD laptops from using TB3. So it seems the options for an AMD laptop right now will remain limited - but I hope this will improve over the next year or so as demand increases for the cheaper and faster AMD laptops. You should not be buying an Intel laptop anymore IMO.

New York Times says Krebs wrongly implicated Briton in Twitter hack
Yeah, that's exactly what I thought, too. It is just one of those weird cultural artifacts that when someone says "tech support" we automatically conjure this mental image which is both not really technical and not really flattering. It was definitely one of those life moments when I had to sit down and talk myself out of a baseless prejudice.

Also, the sibling commenter mentions one of the big reasons I found so much joy in it. This kind of hardcore technical support is in many respects closely related to working on greenfield projects. In my experience, the fun stuff usually ends up with some unfun caveats like company bureaucracy, office politics, or having the tech stack chosen beforehand, this kind of thing. But there's an interesting inversion when a company's production environment is broken and you're the one that can fix it. Obstacles magically disappear and you have a tremendous amount of freedom to do your job, with effectively two different companies doing what they can to enable your work, because the only thing everyone cares about is getting it working again.

You do have to be able to walk the walk -- and I cannot stress enough that it takes a certain type, and just knowing your shit isn't going to cut it -- and you also have to get some personal enjoyment out of chaotic environments, and be able to talk people out of a tree sometimes. But you'll never run out of new and interesting problems to solve, you'll be testing your mettle far more frequently than your peers, and you'll be expanding your professional network every week about as much as everybody else does once or twice a year when they go to a convention. It's the closest thing the tech industry has to a firefighter or superhero or something.
>> Sweden is still far away from herd immunity

The point this guy is trying to make is that Sweden appears to be quite close to herd immunity, considering both infections and deaths are apparently declining by itself now. What makes you think this is impossible?
