On top of that, there are cases of many vaccines which are much less effective in the elderly.

While secondary causes are likely causing much of the higher mortality in the elderly, sometimes the immune system is just... not as strong. And yes, that does mean something other than COVID-19 could come along an 'get that person', but... here's my point:

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) induces neutralizing antibodies
(anti-HBs) that protect against HBV infection.

Response to vaccine following a 3-dose series is typically greater than
95% in young, healthy people, although it decreases with age (< 90%
response at age 40 and only 75% response at age 60). Other factors such
as smoking, obesity and chronic disease decrease vaccine efficacy and may
be used to predict risk of nonresponse.6 Adverse events are minimal,
although mild injection-site reactions may occur in 20% of recipients.

Quite a few vaccines are like this. Less effective on the elderly. So we could end up with an even larger horror show, with some COVID-19 vaccines.

Such as, it has some bad side effects, AND, doesn't really help the most-at-risk group as much as desired!

What really bugs me is, there are what? Greater than 70 vaccines in development?

Some governments have pre-picked supposed winners. On top of all the other political bull going on, are they going to stick with those winners, regardless of outcome? Or have preferentiality to those specific vaccines?

Because I can imagine some being highly effective and safe, and others being the reverse.
Have to agree with others that more funding, alone, won't solve the problem. At my mother's school, any extra funding usually paid for more administration to tell her how to do her job wrong.

Housing (and construction) prices have been ballooning out of control everywhere for the last several years. Both major cities (DC, Boston, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, LA, Denver, San Diego) and secondary cities (Boise ID, Grand Rapids MI, many more) are all totally unaffordable. I’ve spent hundreds of hours researching different areas over the last year. Looking at sold homes from just 2-3 years ago, many seem like a steal compared to what’s available now. It’s just extremely bleak.

Meanwhile, my landlord bragged about buying the house I live in with no money down and no income check during the subprime mortgage era, and has been renting it out since. Now he is selling it during a pandemic and I’m about to become a vagabond.

I do think the vacuuming up of affordable housing by real estate investors (perhaps many of whom accumulated wealth via the surging stock market) is at least part of the problem. Landowners have strong incentives to keep the housing stock low (and the rents high), or they get washed.
There is no stacked mass however. Just a single piece of mass moving up/down that results in linear scaling from height.

Edit: reviewed the Terraent slides they indeed plan to literally drive a mile long train vertically into the ground. In which case the quadratic argument stands.

At the cost of significant added complexity. It comes down to drilling cost vs installation/ maintenance cost.

Dillo/NetSurf may be of interest to you. They fit the size requirement as well as the "lack of JS" requirement (i.e. no JS support at all). "appsites" will definitely not work in them, but the document-oriented web and things like HN are fine.
Which is not the case with the internet, as the article proves.
Right, and the point of DMCA is to prevent the duplication of copyrighted content.

So as long as you don't duplicate their firmware, the grounds to not have you modify it are very questionable.
And this is a good thing, competition between this stores is good for the users, some users got free games, some developers got better deals.

The "needs to launch on startup" is FALSE , you can have this launchers set no to start at all and you launch the game and the launcher will start if needed (not all Steam games need Steam in background).

FYI GOG launcher is optional, you can just download the game from the website with a browser and then install it as in old times.

Competition is good and except the Epic drama I did not see anyone complaining the GOG, HumbleBundle, itch.io or downloading from Patreon is a bad thing for PC. I expect though if Apple blocks all launchers on the new OSX for ARM then an army of people will say that downloading a small game directly from Patron is too complicated and insecure for the average Apple user mind.
> One brand!

That’s Strategy (and I don’t know if it’s true even there as most Strategy is RTS and I prefer turn based). There have been many deep and complex RPGs released, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Underrail, and Age of Decadence come to mind.

> Okay, was it a bad game? Who knows, hardly anyone played it.

Well, those who did play know it. And to me it was essentially a dumbed-down Civ V that, to make it worse, didn’t have the same amazing modding community behind it.
The major consumer benefit of the iPhone is the walled garden. Consumers buy iPhones specifically because of safety and security. App curation is a big part of that.
> The title of the article is a testament to the (now archaic) notion that software might be considered “complete”. That it seems so quaint is such a terrible shame.

Your comment reminds me of a pretty jarring experience moving from embedded systems into mobile (iOS) apps. I asked the lead how we know the software is “done” and can ship. He looked at me like I had horns growing out of my head. “We are never done. We just keep developing and releasing until they tell us to work on something else.” This idea that your program can be done and you release the final version is turning into a relic from a lost age.

It’s also sad from the user’s point of view: as updates get more automatic, you have to take deliberate action to stay on an old, working, familiar version. If you’re not careful, you can reboot and your software looks and behaves entirely different. And in the web world it’s impossible! You don’t even have a choice. You are running whatever version the developer decrees you should be running.
That is an odd definition of 'left', 'right' and 'liberal'. There are plenty of people on the 'right' side of the political spectrum who put far more emphasis on culture than they do on biology, I'd go so far as stating that this is the majority of those on the 'right' side. The same goes for the 'left' side, most people think in terms of culture instead of biology. It is only on the fringes of both sides of the chamber that you encounter people who put weight on biology, from 'white supremacists' and 'black supremacists' to followers of identity politics where people like Ibram X Kendi and Robin DiAngelo claim that 'white people' are by definition racist.

You need to define the term 'environment' to make clear what it is you mean here, it has far too many meanings to be useful. The essence is that the extremes on the 'left' and the 'right' bear close resemblance to each other, they use different symbology and make some different claims as to where they get their justifications from but if you remove those symbols and justifications their actions are more or less identical.

The 30% cut was literally announced on stage by Steve Jobs when they introduced the App Store in 2008, and again when in-app purchases were introduced in (I think) 2009. It's been in public coverage for years. They talk about it regularly; remember, Apple's position has been to say, loudly and repeatedly, that this is just a terrific deal for everybody. The fees are not secret.

Also, remember that in practice, the vast majority of people downloading applications on Android are doing so through Google Play, which charges the same 30% fee for both apps and in-app purchases. If people resent Apple more than Google in this context, it's probably more to do with the companies' respective public images than concrete reality.

I suspect you're remembering recent news about Apple preventing Facebook from putting a notice in the Facebook iOS app about Apple taking 30% of the cut from event tickets purchased through the app. While that was arguably a bad move on Apple's part from a PR standpoint -- lately they've been seriously violating the First Rule of Holes[1] -- there's little indication it's a change in policy.

There is a huge difference between having your PC not work because of viruses and your phone. Since day one security and safety have been the most important feature for iPhone, and the biggest reason consumers select it.
Soldering is not like writing code, its literally welding metal. You cant take stackexchange copy pasting snippets until compiler stops throwing errors model and translate it into physical world. Pretty much never works out, typical example of an outcome: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/lcd-monitor-has-rough-s...
You end up with people unable/unwilling to understand what they are doing trying to solder things blindly for the first time. Its a bad car mechanic plugging in diagnostic computer and ordering $1000 of parts to swap because LCD screen said Error 45 and internet says "replace xxx bro" only to learn the fault didnt go away and he just stripped few bolts on the engine block in the process. You never learn anything by blindly following 'if x replace y' instructions, you learn by absorbing the 'what could happen if x, what caused x, what does that mean to the rest of the device' knowledge.

> Isn't a better analogy that car dealerships deserve revenue for selling Toyota's cars?

That depends. Is the car dealership making it impossible for me, as a buyer, to buy from different car dealerships, and forcing me to only buy it from them?

That would be a more similar analogy.

Epic would likely not have any problem at all, if it was possible to easily install the epic app store on the iPhone. But its not. Because Apple makes it almost impossible for competitors to install other app stores on the iPhone.

People run corporations. When you see a round of layoffs it doesn't come out of mere cold blooded economic necessity. The leadership gets scared, and no longer feels optimistic thus they cut projects.

Sure, you can give all the money directly to the common people, but you'd end up having to do that forever since the wider economy would collapse as rich share holders first feel doubt, then have those doubts confirmed in a self fulfilling prophecy.

Common people should have non emergency sources of welfare, and governmental aid to rely on. If they don't, then the situation is aleady dire.
I don't really care that people with kids have advantages over me, in fact, I pushed for them to have these advantages, because they need it more than I do.

However, I don't think we should consider that people that have kids contribute more actively to the continuation of the human race, or our society. The human race / our society will be just fine with less kids.

Epic gets the safety and security of iOS from the App store, which makes iOS users spend almost ten times as much as Android users on apps.
Thanks. It would be great to get some more detail on this.

Quick note, it seemed like it supports only closed-world ontologies.
> Why should they not have that right?

Because the phone belongs to the consumer, and the courts have already said that it is perfectly legal to jailbreak your phone, even though apple attempted to sue people who were doing this.

It is pretty horrible that Apple was trying to sue people, for modifying property that the consumer owned, and it required the courts to get involved, to clarify that it is perfectly legal to jail break your own property.
Well then, maybe you have to live with some inconveniences and higher costs than you would like, because of the natural market dynamics?

You pointed out all those factors to say that they're reasons why CPU OEMs should be able to make all your dreams about price, quality, speed, open hardware come true?
Nope, there are plenty of chats with e2ee and all the conveniences you’re mentioned.
Ads: Depends on your niche and where you are in your growth. If you're competing in a big pond, search-related ads + owned content for lead capture and some retargeting once you have the visit/lead is likely going to be faster and maybe cheaper than the longer (and, for some phrases/niches, impossible) slog of establishing SEO dominance.

I'm a big fan of the cheap, audacious ad move to get a foot in the door. Know where the decision maker for your next enterprise sale works out every morning? Geo-fence very specific-to-him mobile ads around the building while he works out. That kind of thing. No ad is going to get you a sale; but ad ad can get you attention that leads to a conversation.

(Yes, that's marketing blah-blah -- send me an email at gregb(at)west-third.com if you want to talk through it. I won't try and turn you into a client; those days are behind me. Just trying to be helpful.)

Content: Content marketing has gone from a silver bullet about five years ago to being like a business card today -- you pretty much have to do it for baseline credibility, but a lot of people (particularly in B2B environments) aren't doing a great job. Their copy is too technical, too promotional, too focused on a shock-and-awe feature set instead of really talking about the problem their prospects have and how their (your) solution is a 10x improvement.

I said in a comment a couple of weeks ago: Marketing is nothing more than delivering value (education, expertise on how a technical problem fits into the larger business, a path to growth, etc.) in order to capture value (the sale). If you think about it that way and enforce it in the organization, you tend to produce content -- well, marketing across the board -- that's more effective. Don't strip mine the audience by just trying to capture value without delivering anything of value.

I found the same, when we had kid I realized that games I used to play are really not made for people like me. It just was not compatible with the baby. And gaming culture I was encountering at the time was ridiculously hostile to the idea of easier low investment game and offensive to people who voiced such wish.

> I'm really surprised at how many dedicated adult gamers there seem to be these days, especially employed ones, as I don't know where they find the time.

Judging from people I know, they get time because they either dont have family/social life or simply dont spend time with them. If they have kids, they expect partner to deal with all child related care and housework, not really interacting with their children.

If you are alone or divorced, having hobby that actually immerse you and eats your time for hours is not a bad thing.

There is no contract. Are we putting a contract on reproductive promise for markets? Is this a contract out on women’s uteri?

This isn’t about macro economics at all. This is all about religion forcing women to breed and the tyranny of scrotums to see who can pee farther most into the gene pool.

However a contract does exist between the parents of the child. With the male..due to the lack of anatomical bits to carry a fetus to term within his body or capable of feeding said offspring through mammary excretions is responsible for the well being of the offspring. Financially or otherwise. Because. Biology.

In the jungle, when the alpha male is unable to provide for the litter, he gets displaced. Insect brains seem to be far superior with reasoning. Clearly mammalian instincts are not up to scratch when it comes to collecting on contracts. The female praying mantis being more sensible simply devours the male after mating. The male drone bee breaks off its penile appendage and free falls from above while in the throes of a kamikaze orgasm. Homo sapiens get to go to a job and support a child. Do it. If you can’t, don’t do it. There is no societal contract to nourish the fruit of strangers’ loins.

Dear men, please curb your ejaculation. And if you can’t, make enough to support your mutated chromosome financially and when a pandemic comes around the corner, man up.

Fixing the US health care system would probably also destroy quite a few jobs in health insurance and medical billing.

It turns out overcomplicated and wasteful systems also make jobs. So even if fixing the system would be better for society in the long run, all the lobbyists have to say is "doing that will destroy X jobs" and the politicians will be scared into inaction.
I don't get how any of these gravitational energy storage startups get past the napkin phase. There is no competition with pumped hydro. Who cares if weights on winches are marginally more efficient when you have many orders of magnitude more mass to move.

This site claims a max weight of 4.5e6 kg. Lake Powell, for example, has a max capacity of 3e13 kg!

So, SEVEN orders of magnitude less mass to move. Sounds competitive.

You can't wave away taking care of kids as "personal obligations", as though it was akin to doing laundry or something. Also, "I chose not to" is a silly statement - do you think all the parents looked into a crystal ball and thought yes, despite the oncoming pandemic, I will have these kids"?
