The best way to deal with having hundreds of cards to review after a break is to shrug your shoulders and say "who cares".

Maybe you only review a few of those hundreds of cards that are due. So what? The algorithm still achieves its purpose. You are still focused on cards you are least likely to have permanently learned. No matter how you use or abuse space repetition algorithms they ensure your study time is well spent (assuming flashcards are the right thing to be studying at all).

I learned this from experience. I have some math concepts I'd like to have memorized. I made some flashcards in a space repetition program. I haven't review them for about 6 months. It is what it is -- at least I know all my progress wont be gone when I finally do return to those flashcards. I will have forgotten some cards, those cards will be shown to me frequently. I will have remembered some cards, those cards will get a boost because I've remembered them for 6-months without review, and will rarely be shown to me. The spaced repetition algorithms still work; they are robust.
And in between those two, I'd be interested in the rent-to-own minus the rent: just let me pay for the drive up-front.

A vacation is a pause in work, which delays all subsequent work by that much time.

You can't do new cards everyday; eventually you will have seen all new cards of a deck. I'm still working decks whose new cards ran out years ago. The presence and scheduling of new cards is a temporary condition with little long-term significance.
We've researched coronaviruses since the 1960s, had MERS and SARS most recently (less recent the 2018). I don't understand why we worry about long term effects of Covid, but not long term effects of mRNA vaccines? Both seem to have things to worry about, with both having different scales.

Perfect answer;
eMMC has several advantages over microSD cards.

For example, the microSD slot only has 4 data lines. eMMC isn't constrained to the microSD slot, so they can have 8 data lines.

The Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module has onboard eMMC. Jeff Geerling tests a lot of SD cards on the Raspberry Pi, but he found the CM4's eMMC is faster than any SD card he's ever tested: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/raspberry-pi-compute-...

TBH, it's concerning. Not that HN is immune from strongly-held polarizing opinions. But, it's pretty obvious that for a lot of people, you're either in camp "Get it as soon as available, no questions asked" or you're an anti-vaxxer. (Personally, I'll get it as soon as I can.)

But this has all the signs of getting very ugly once a vaccine becomes available. I certainly don't expect the military to hold people down and vaccinate them by force. But I do expect a lot of severe restrictions in some places on people who don't want to get vaccinated right-off that will put them in a tough position.

It's going to be really interesting to see how this plays out, once vaccines start to become widely available. I would hope that some "social inertia" will help convince people who are "on the fence" or otherwise skeptical about getting vaccinated, as they see more folks get it and the case numbers hopefully start to flatten out or drop.

Sorta a tangent but

> In a recent policy proposal, we argue that there currently is little credible evidence to support strengthening or weakening patent protection, such as by modifying patent-eligibility standards.

What is the best argument that, for example, software patents and pharmaceutical patents should continue to have the same lifetime (20 years)? On the face it seems insane.

In their longer white paper, the authors acknowledge that it might make sense for the specific case of pharmaceuticals to get a special carve out:

> Although it is unclear what the optimal length of patent protection is, we suggest a pharmaceutical-specific reform that begins the effective market exclusivity period for new drugs at the time of approval for sale in the United States, rather than at the time of patent filing.

https://www.hamiltonproject.org/assets/files/Ouellette_Willi...

But I don't understand this claim that, putting certain regulatory barriers aside, we should expect patent lifetime to be independent of field:

> ...the patent system’s goal of providing uniform protection across inventions.

Why would we want uniformity? The best argument I can think of is just that it reduces individual industries from lobbying for greater protection contrary to the public interest.
Welders, especially, are _always_ in short supply.

I've heard this time and again over the years, but it doesn't make sense to me. If welders made > 300k/year, surely they wouldn't be in short supply anymore. Why isn't there simply a wage/price signal to compensate for this?
It's not like medicine that requires 6-8 years of school, and years more of practice to fill certain positions (where additional constraints are the schools and hospital residencies limited capacity). For welders, labor supply should be fairly easy and quick to remedy.

Are Covid Patients Gasping ‘It Isn’t Real’ as They Die?
that sounds incredibly ambitious (if not unrealistic) to me, how is that supposed to work? Currently, there's only a single vaccine that's probably going to hit the market in Europe soon, and that's the Biontech/Pfizer one. They said they'll have 50 million doses available in December, but that's for both the US as well as the EU and the UK (which means 25 million people can get vaccinated in total). How is that possibly enough for health-care workers and care-home residents in the UK as well as people aged 80 or over?

And it's going to be a similar situation in January and February, sure Bntch/Pfizer will produce a decent amount of vaccines specifically for the European market in Belgium and Germany, but again that's going to be hardly enough for everyone over the age of 18 in the UK - especially given the fact that those doses will have to be shared with all other European nations.

But you wrote:

"The idea being that defining it as inherently supernatural is impossible and simply a linguistic reshuffling, when it's really more like "you've simply started calling your belief system something else, but it's actually still just Christian.""

Where you effectively claim that "Christian religion" can be one where somebody is even one who doesn't believe in supernatural. Because... some other values count too?

Can really somebody who doesn't believe that Jesus is a "Christ" (the anointed one, a "Messiah", it's not a surname but the specific role in the universe of believers) be a Christian? And somebody who doesn't believe in any supernatural deity at all?

I for example admit I grew up in the area where traditionally most of the inhabitants were real Christian believers, but I surely am not a Christian. The Church would surely not accept that claim.

Edit: user
keiferski answers below that to him "it's unclear what "supernatural" means in this context." Let me write that even more clearly: I don't believe in the existence of any supernatural deity, i.e. one which can influence the events on Earth that occur among humans or one which can "change the rules" how the universe functions, as established by the scientific experiments and research. I also define the belief in life after death as a belief in supernatural, and I assert that I don't have that belief. Also, the area I grew up was never inhabited by majority of "protestants." I was also never in life an object of any religious ceremony (and I consider myself lucky for growing up in such an environment, learning how most of people in the U.S. live). Most of the people I know who were baptized as children later officially renounced the Church, and the Church wiped them out of its records. All of them never went to any religious school, just state schools (some of them had a subject where they explicitly learned about religion though). People I knew who already died don't have any religious sign on their graves, and didn't believe they will "live" after their death. People who live together with their partners and even have children didn't even officially register in the state institutions, and they even less had any ceremony in any church. It's not "complicated" at all. And I'm not even some special exception -- exactly because not every area in the western world functions like an average "contemporary American" would expect. What is that that those people in my environment and I "do" which you believe could make us "Christians" then? (I also admit I know a few people in the circle of people around me, a very small minority, who do say they believe in Jesus Christ and that they have Christian morale, and attempt to behave according to that, while also not being consistent though their life. But they are a minority, and like I've said, even they don't "do" consistently what "the religion" would "expect" from them).
> Christians are aware of how poorly they're portrayed by the media, and aren't happy about it. It seems to me that this is one of many factors that led many Christians to support Trump.

Christians are facing the same problem Muslims had to face post 9/11. Some of the people in your religion are so absolutely terrible you become hated as a whole for it. Is that fair or right? Of course not. But like any other community with rotten apples, you need to work on shunning and expelling these people... not voting for them.

Disagree fully that this is automatically pejorative. If it's false (the first test of whether something can be considered pejorative) then explain why.

If you can't, then the accusation falls at the first hurdle. If you can, then why bother with all the BUT THE RULES! nonsense when you could just say why the statement is false?
Tons of welding jobs already exist and already pay a minimum of approximately $15/hr. Unless you meant welding engineers when you said 'study', like some of my compatriots building automated robotic weld cells, who get paid 4x that much.

And there's plenty of training courses at the local caterer center and community college for both those jobs at reasonable rates. Local manufacturers often pay hourly+tuition for their best fabricators or line workers who want a promotion to the welder position to go through one of those programs.
While I'd rather see people with higher risk than me get the vaccine first, I would absolutely take it if I was able to.

Even if they can reduce costs a bit, the economics are still not in favor of nuclear energy, and renewable energy has become incredibly cheap. Between 2010 to 2019 wind energy become 70% cheaper and solar became 89% cheaper[1] -- and they're still getting cheaper. We are now in a situation where we can build 3x as much renewables for the same price as nuclear[2] - nuclear has a serious cost problem. I'm very skeptical of any claimed nuclear energy cost reductions because time and again the industry has promised lower costs and failed to deliver; for example the new AP1000 and EPR reactors in the US and Europe have all vastly overrun their budgets and run years behind schedule.

Ask HN: Starting a business podcast without becoming a biz guru?
Hey there.

I'm a young entrepreneur with pretty interesting story & experiences that may be helpful to a lot of people. The only thing I'm afraid of that I'll somehow put me into the category of business gurus like Grant Cardone & others which I'd really hate to because I don't want to be associated with any of them.

Of course I won't be selling any courses & stuff, but is this enough to not become a "business guru?".

People who managed to do something meaningful before they started talking about business (take Naval) have a successful businesses/careers so they are always known as entrepreneurs/investors first. I don't have any successful business to my name yet, so that's another element that I'm afraid will put me into this business guru category.

Would love to hear your thoughts. What are actually the differences between an entrepreneur sharing what he's learned so far and a business guru?

>What happened to the law of Supply and Demand?

Working in absolute perfection.

The question here really isn't about Supply and Demand, but product pricing, sales and marketing strategy. Where each on itself is a complete topic of its own.

What you are suggesting here, is that for example, Sony announced their First Batch of PS5 will go for retail price of $800, and two months later it will be back to normal $500.

Problem 1. There will still be scalpers, the market for first to own PS5 is a lot higher than $800. I could resell a PS5 right now for $1000 USD with queue in my front door.

Problem 2. Getting a $800 RSP may create lots of bad press and
un-intended consequence for marketing.

Problem 3, Generally speaking having constantly sold out PS5 is a good marketing problem to have. Lots of opportunities to talk about the product. Hunger marketing is real.

Problem 4, An RSP of $800 or higher RSP will create opportunities for your competitor.

Apple has been getting very good at handling these sort of thing and the only way to stamp out most of the scalpers ( most, not all ) is to absolutely flood the market at first launch. Of course that partly only works because they are Apple, the best supply chain and logistic company in the world.
