I believe you've missed the point almost completely. The parent comment's point is that the USA is as rich as it is because they've effectively taken out an enormous loan from the markets. The markets trust the USA to pay back this loan because they trust the USA to keep producing children, some subset of whom will collectively generate enough wealth to cover the loan. If everyone in the USA agreed not to have children any more, the country would immediately collapse (not collapse in the future when the workforce ran out, but immediately) as the market rushed to salvage what it could from the country's walking corpse.
Suggestion for the developer if they see this - please add a PayPal or other donation option in addition to BTC. Just a bit too much friction on BTC for normals/muggles like me, but if there was a PayPal link you might have had money in your account by now.

I want to support this just because of what it represents - native app development, small executables, tools that are optimized. None of this bloated Electron junk. I bet they could even put some Etcher like graphics / PNGs into this interface and it would still be 100x smaller than Etcher.

I wonder if it would be possible to port this natively to Haiku too?
And yet there is not a shred of empathy within this whole comment.
Windows still exists because no FOSS UNIX clone can get their act together in what means to provide a proper desktop experience both to users, as well as developers.

KDE and GNOME are quite close to it, but keep being ostracized, so one is left with Android and ChromeOS where the Linux kernel is an implementation detail.
> In this ultrafinite physical world, the largest prime determines how large any object can be before folding back in on itself.

This is why I don't like ultrafinitism: It insists on mixing levels, like an Escher print.

The world of pure mathematics isn't the physical world, for all the same reasons Santa Claus isn't real, and trying to bind pure math to some (theoretical!) properties of the physical world is just as wrong-headed as insisting that nobody can ever make songs about Santa because we know nobody can deliver toys that quickly.

I'd like a browser that is just a nice browser. It should fit easily into a few 10s MB and start instantly. It wouldn't waste 100s of MB on implementing dangerous/pointless/wasteful javascript APIs, like battery state or physical screen APIs; it wouldn't support (literally) 4300 options; wouldn't save 200 MB of config data; and wouldn't load many MB of data just to start and display a blank page!
Glue: Multi-dimensional Linked-data Exploration
Reminds me of the old ActiveX days - I wrote a whole WYSIWYG website editor using the ActiveX component that let you read/write files.

I mean that was fun for a young budding developer, but I can see the major security issues with this. I really hope this has been thought through.

I can imagine this being another one of those popups that constantly appear on websites - are certain files protected like your hosts file or does it rely upon the access level of the user running the browser?

Samsung's market is installed on a substantial percentage of phones but almost no one on any of those devices uses anything besides the regular Google Play store. So while you technically answered his question in the larger conversation Samsung's app store isn't a competitive alternative.

I couldn't find robust stats on Amazon's market share overall but I did find that they sold 5.3% of all tablets in Q3 2019. So if its true that the phone market is 20 times larger than that it would mean its unlikely that The Amazon App store is installed on 1% of all mobile devices.

Improving Farm Efficiency with a Weather API
I read over the document and the security considerations don't seem super clear. If I find an XSS on Cloud 9 or some other web-based IDE that users are likely to grant directory permissions to, I can ransomware every file in that directory without requiring extra permissions?

In other words, granting this permission is effectively the same level of severity as downloading and running an app.

Am I missing some extra consideration here?

This is all well and good, bit I'm surprised how much the discussion centers on Facebook and leaves out the other social networks.

In particular, Reddit seems to be large enough to be influential, yet I've never seen it mentioned in articles like this one.
I distinctly recall PGs comments regarding installmonetizer. I also recall the interaction with Fred Wilson regarding the source of funding. Those two stand out because they are things that should have never happened. Being clever does not equal having a good ethical model and YC has something of a problem in this respect. The social impact of companies like AirBNB and other YC investments - to me - clearly illustrates that there is no guideline about what kind of lines will not be crossed in order to make a couple of billion. That's fine by me, as I wrote, they are just like the rest in that respect. But YC isn't holy, not by a long shot.

I agree with you though that it is not as if they seek out underhanded ways of making money. But they also don't rule them out a-priori and will not call companies to task - as far as I'm aware of - when certain lines are crossed.

Fortunately there is Watsi to balance out the most horrible cases.

As for why those companies stand out to me: I knew the initial batches quite closely, these days there are so many YC backed companies it is impossible to keep track of them and I'm simply no longer trying.
How to Develop a Positioning Statement for Your Startup
Maybe a good choice, but a bad reason.

I don't think it is correct to assume that something like QAnon is responsible for significant violence compared to neocons rising flags for war. And those voice will be amplified as authoritative/official instead.

It is not the source of hate and that won't improve by banning on loose group affiliation. It is naive to believe algorithm supported banning would improve anything to be honest.

I said "besides the other 94%" meaning "even ignoring the others 94% who died with preexisting conditions" ... dying itself shouldn't be the only concern, even to those without existing conditions. As there is plenty of evidence of long-term harm to people who survived.

You're going too far with "the purpose". It may be true that one purpose of life is to reproduce (although I don't empathise with that at all, having an incompatible sexuality), but the fact that you aren't spending your life pumping out children and/or swamping the sperm banks and egg donation facilities indicates that it's not your sole purpose; and if you personally are allowed to do things which aren't the purpose of your life, then why are you justified in calling it the purpose of your life?
Yes right, but just hope the signal to noise ratio in the trainings remains stable. Garbage in ...

I only exercise in ways that require minimum investment. Ones I can do 15-30 minutes at a time with resolution. Stuff like HIIT or 5k runs for example. The only exercise I invested serious time in the last 5 years was a half marathon. Exercising just sucks up too much time that is better spent on stuff like spending time with family, or unwinding with a video game. I’m really surprised at how many dedicated gym members there seem to be these days, especially employed ones, as I don’t know where they find the time.

The ECB has 2x the portfolio size as a share of GDP as what the Fed does. The Bank of Japan's portfolio is about 4x the Fed on that metric.

Why isn't the Eurozone collapsing, with interest rates skyrocketing and the Euro imploding?

Somehow Japan is still managing - despite a public debt & budget situation several times worse than the US - with a GDP per capita still on par with Britain, France, and just below Germany. And yet all the armchair experts endlessly predict the demise of the US.
I worked at an incubator with a peer to peer storage play about 6 years ago.

There were quite a few storage startups in other cities that were not peer to peer and, I contend, they had a better model as the costs made more sense when you centralize to a single facility.

GoBox was it's name:
https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/gobox

I don't know much about what they're doing today but it looks like their site redirects to a centralized traditional storage company. Perhaps the fate of peer to peer storage to come.
While parents care more about outcomes, they may not be making ideal choices to support those outcomes.

When I have my kids full-time, time with them is a balancing act between being actively engaged and trying to enrich their lives and just trying to keep them alive while I knock out other stuff that has to be done. My youngest is still a toddler, and much of his experience of being at home is me chasing him around the apartment taking (almost) everything away from him. He loves going to day care where he's in an environment that's designed around him and where he's allowed to mess with just about anything he wants to. I'm skeptical that I'm worse in that regard than a "median" parent.

In practice, very few stay-at-home parents dedicate all of their children's waking hours to their kids.

Cool, but what's the value you offer? Who needs it? Why? What do they usually do? What's their title? Where do they usually look for solutions to their problems?

Selling expertise vs selling value is the difference between being an laborer vs a business owner. If you're trying to sell your expertise, you're thinking about it wrong.
Somehow WordPerfect/MultiMate with reveal codes is still a more intuitive text formatting tool than anything I've used since. Or maybe it's just nostalgia. There's nothing I hate more these days than trying to format text in WYSIWYG editors, in-browser confluence and jira, notepads, markdown, etc.

This will work, obviously. But I don't see how it can be competitive with batteries.

High energy density lithium batteries are currently being commoditized. They are also increasingly able to handle many thousands of cycles. E.g LiFePo4 cells.

The raw materials for batteries are not actually that expensive or rare, so that leaves the manufacturing.

You might think that making something as complex as a battery can never be as cheap as hanging a weight from a rope. But there are examples of very complex products (solar cells, LCD displays) that became incredibly cheap due to mass manufacturing.

A square meter of solar cells, requiring extremely pure silicon and nanometer scale engineering, is now not much more expensive than a square meter of good roofing shingles.

Microsoft pushed styles hard for so long, it still takes up a massive chunk of the ribbon menu by default, yet the online version doesn't appear to let me create or update them.

This is a fairly fundamental feature of Word. Add text, apply style. It can't do one of those.
Most countries have already had SARS-2 work its way through them significantly. The utility of a vaccine might be lower than you think.

NZ comes to mind as a country that has barely built up any immunity (due to them trying to contain it completely). They can expect more utility from a vaccine than otherwise.

Anyway, given the incredibly low rate of both mortality and also any real consequences in, say, those under age 55, their personal benefit of a vaccine is incredibly low. So it really comes down to whether you’re a Sweden person or a New Zealand person.

I’m a Sweden person personally.
It's not surprising.

Some of the HN crowd might be familiar with the academic Freddie deBoer, who just recently published a book on this very topic with some suggestions of how to address it, _The Cult of Smart_[1]

The FDA has published a detailed guideline on how to handle vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2. Among these, the minimum requirement of a 50% efficacy and mandatory monitoring of the trial participants for at least one year after the trial end (which will not be when authorization requests will be made, in case it works, but later on).
It’s hard or impossible to find pictures of protests where the majority are not wearing masks, the opposite was true here. Also people were drinking and standing around, hardly the same thing.
Don't get me wrong - I like hi-res images, and bluetooth (when it works), and I'm still amazed that my phone has more grunt that a Cray.

But the stuff we do day-to-day (excepting graphics) is appallingly inefficient. And most of the look-at-this stuff (speech recognition, and you mention VR and eye-tracking) is not actually used for anything day-to-day; we don't routinely talk to our computers ("Hello Computer" https://youtu.be/v9kTVZiJ3Uc?t=10 ).

Because the same authors did not find a similar effect with the protests.

http://ftp.iza.org/dp13388.pdf

> This study uses newly collected data on protests in 315 of the largest U.S. cities to estimate the impacts of mass protests on social distancing and COVID-19 case growth. Event-study analyses provide strong evidence that net stay-at-home behavior increased following protest onset, consistent with the hypothesis that non-protesters’ behavior was substantially affected by urban protests. This effect was not fully explained by the imposition of city curfews. Estimated effects were generally larger for persistent protests and those accompanied by media reports of violence. Furthermore, we find no evidence that urban protests reignited COVID-19 case growth during the more than three weeks following protest onset. We conclude that predictions of broad negative public health consequences of Black Lives Matter protests were far too narrowly conceived.
I’m not convinced that the fertility rate in any one country is particularly troublesome, especially when global population is increasing, that country is populous and wealthy, and that country seems to have little trouble growing its population in ways other than local reproduction. This doesn’t seem a problem at all, assuming we’re not talking about other concerns like maintaining certain demographics in the USA (a concern which I absolutely do not share).
Probably just someone running it through a spell checker. Or an over zealous editor who isn't familiar with the series.
The money they’re printing isn’t being circulated because people are keeping it in their bank accounts and reducing spending. I think we’re in for something when things return to normal.
However, these companies got a lot of money to ramp up production ahead of approval ("at-risk manufacturing") often by governments. If the vaccine is a fluke, they might be in trouble.
Ooops, good catch, I will fix that :)
However, the root of trust is embedded to the CPU. So, you can't hammer the CPU on another board for keys.

Also, we sometimes lose the CPU rather than the board. As the CPUs become more complex, their probability to fail has risen.

Ask HN: How to find a high paying software developer position
I have been programming since age 9 nearly every day (now 31 years of age)

I have made various web and mobile apps (all failed in terms of profitability), have experience in various database engines (Oracle Database, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, PostgreSQL) pretty good at UX and UI, also I believe I am pretty good at coding. Also have some knowledge of building and training Neural Networks. Yet I still still cannot find a job today that pays over 100k

All the consulting agencies I have interviewed this year offered around 55k USD

I hear about other people on HN making more than 100k, and more than 1k per day programming.

Not sure what I am doing wrong?
huh?
They did the research, reached conclusions, and inform the public.
That's what scientists should do.
Why do you think they first decided they don't like vitamin D, and only then cherry picked research to prove it?

Anyway, If you are an informed enough, you don't have to believe them, you can just read all the research they provided, and see for yourself.

Otherwise, all you can do is trust them. Or not.

We have too many of them. It's not polite to say, but ultimately many of the problems faced by the human race (like global warming) are a result of over-population. We don't want the replacement rate to drop too low, because it fucks up cross generational dynamics (e.g. social security), but we really would be better off if we had like 5% less kids over the next 20 years.

Not to be snarky or obvious, but you should do what the people in the past did - find a better place to live that allows you to buy a home more easily.

That's one of the reasons why there was a big migration to places like LA. Lots of jobs and cheap land to build on.

Without his videos however, I’d be clicking through and reading the Civopedia for hours.

There was a pretty high severe systemic adverse rate in the high dose group (20%). Severe local response rate was 5% in the middle dose. [1]

I have no idea how this compares to other vaccines, and you can pessimistically extrapolate a bit from this tiny, healthy sample from the high dose (n=15 in middle dose group).

I'd imagine some % of people when this scales to millions will have a bad response, and the high dose group might provide some model of the worst cases.

X-Com Apocalypse is one of my favorite games. I can't stand the new ones. They have shiny graphics (which I generally like in most games) but they have streamlined stuff to the point where it doesn't even remotely feel like the same kind of game.
