>I'm not sure whether people understand just how big of a problem this is. Resilient economies are well-balanced economies.

You seem to be under the misconception that the stock market somehow reflects the actual economy, in fact you seem to think that the stock market is the economy.

Those "top 5" companies taken together are less than 5% of the actual US economy, regardless of whichever way you want to calculate that (revenue/profit+wages vs GDP, ...)

The ones hurt by an investment failing are just the investors themselves, which is the whole point of investment. You take the risk and reap the rewards.

The only exception is when a "too big to fail" whatever (this narrative is complete bs btw) made bad investments again, so the government, and by proxy the taxpayer, steps in to finance the gambling addiction of people who are politician's retirement plans. Now you have made a considerable impact on the actual economy.
That's no reason to lower the bar even further.

> Women / men of this age tend to be attracted to people who are interesting rather than wealthy.

I seriously doubt this. Looking at myself I care a lot less about 'interesting' people than I did in my twenties. Maybe interesting is a euphemism for social capital, but social capital is greatly linked to wealth anyway.
That is one interpretation of the facts. An alternative one might go something like this:

In early Autumn it was apparent that infection rates were high in the North of England but lower in the (wealthier and economically more productive) South. The UK government adopted a local/regional approach to lockdowns, with the effect that the North was under lockdown-like conditions for most of Autumn. Infection rates began to fall in the North, but simultaneously started rising in the (non-lockdowned) South, though from a lower base. Once infections started rising in the South, the government adopted a national lockdown plan (with, coincidentally, vastly more financial support for firms and individuals). And so the fall in infections we see "before the lockdown" is the effect of the "tier 3" restrictions across the North, with the national lockdown intended to prevent serious increases in the spread of the disease across the South.

I am not saying that this story is true, just that it's an equally good fit for the facts. Presenting statistics is only ever the start of the conversation, not the end, as the statistics do not speak for themselves.
Evolution is inherently chaotic, yet new species are "discovered," not "invented." Coming back to songs, most chart hits are cobbled together from samples and prior works. It's unclear whether we can all these new creations that occurred in isolation.
There is at least a correlation.

Using “encrypted email” services is pointless. 99/100 times the email arrives unencrypted and is “trustfully” encrypted by the provider. The other 1/100 is far from private since all meta data exists. Further, 1 key leak and all previous messages will be decrypted.

The current implementation is about as secure as envelope mail (e.g. do you trust someone won’t open your letter?)

Walmart has a well-understood business model, and so there is less uncertainly/risk, which means that investors generally accept lower returns for greater certainty.

The impact and revenues of tech companies is more uncertain, which is more risky, so investors are asking for more return in exchange for taking on that risk.

Well, I'm in my mid 30s and I only have a fraction of your net worth, but I've decided a few years ago that I'll be splitting my time +- 2 years of working, 9 gap months (spring-autumn), etc. I have a lot of health problems that will probably kill me before retirement one way or another so I don't feel like saving till I'm 45.

It helps a lot that I work remotely in IT and live in Poland which is a very cheap country and I'm very low maintenance (for example my ideal vacations is biking and playing D&D on the internet which is all I did in 2019 ;) ). I have 0 interest in cars and drive 1997 Fiat Punto in which a replacement engine costs less than my daily salary :) I know because we've burned it once by accident :)

I don't think money have to be the main focus, as long a your have a sustainable plan with big margin of safety. I could live for 10 years out of my savings easily, that's enough freedom for me if the alternative is delaying the freedom till I'm old. It would probably be a little different with kids, but we don't want to have kids with my wife, so that's not an issue.

Yes, mRNA is pretty good and very promising (Moderna and BioNTech are mRNA based and they seems the most developed as for now)!
My question was not asking if they are safe or not good (they have multiple points that make them probably the next big thing in vaccines and cancer treatments), i was asking if there are already mRNA vaccine type 100% developed and used as today.
Erlang processes are not green threads.

Green threads can share memory while Erlang processes cannot, they are strictly forbidden to do it.

Also Erlang scheduler is highly optimized to work as a soft real-time platform, so they never run for infinite amount of time, they never block and never (at least that's the goal) bring down the entire application, the worst thing that can happen is that everything slows down but it's still functional and responsive.

Lessons from Dave Chappelle
Tesla seems to have used the same dirty trick used by oil companies to convince the public that plastics were largely "recyclable" by conflating economically productive (for Tesla) re-use of decommissioned batteries from Teslas and "recycling" of actual cells. I support the work of Elon Musk, obviously many here do not and call him a fraud, however I do take issue with how he uses this line to call the battery tech Tesla uses "renewable".

Ask HN: Favorite Short Fiction?
Short stories (and under-100-word short-shorts) are less popular these days (and I understand why, I love immersion in doorstop novel series too), but I appreciate the craft that goes into writing them much as I appreciate the aesthetics of succinct code.

Does short fiction scratch the same itch for you?
Your point is perfectly valid. I do separate my computation and visualization (sometimes both are MATLAB; just separate). For me the MATLAB is primarily an interactive visualization tool, although the main use case for most engineers I am sure is to use MATLAB for its scientific computation functionality.

Yes, but wordpress has implemented its own form of a "cron" which allows it to do self-updates. Basically every request spawns a "cron" request (literally a HTTP request to itself over localhost) to be processed asynchronously if it's been long enough since the last. And since a "proper" wordpress install can self-modify, it can thus self-update.

My knowledge is about 5 years old at this point, but the idea still scares me silly.

This is sort of how iOS works(worked?). To share a photo, you had to go find the photo you want to share, then pass that photo explicitly to the app/context you wanted to share it. So a model where you push the content you want into the share app, the app itself was unable to request (pull) data.

Yes, it's called Apple A1.

Once you remove a single opcode, it's not really x86 any more, and you need emulation at OS level. But then, once you've done that, why not remove more instructions? Why not remove all of them and start again on a much more power-efficient platform? Why not remove the memory model?

One of the brilliant ideas in the A1 is a flag for whether the current process insists on the slower but more comprehensible x86 memory ordering.

Initial Responses to Uncomfortable Questions about App Signing
There is a massive technical benefit for all apps to use the same push server.

If many different apps use their own push server, a connection has to be kept open to each and every server, and each open TCP connection costs quite a lot of battery (since the system has to wake up to receive keep alives)
I really, really dislike exceptions.

Unchecked exceptions don't tell the caller something might go wrong. Fine for Python, where strong guarantees aren't a thing anyway, but any statically typed language cannot be content with essentially adding bottom to every single type.

Checked exceptions have failed, or at least I haven't seen anybody fix their issues. They proliferate spurious exception types in interfaces. They are inflexible, as they usually can't be generic. They suck at typing error cases for higher order functions. They're big heavy and expensive, so can't be used for hot code paths. They're exceptions but more often than not you want to signal expected failure...

The list goes on...
BioNTech one is also a 95% succesfull and mRNA based.
From what I can find, that's not accurate. The issue was that Google required manufacturers to include various Google friendly default choices in exchange for getting access to Play Services and other Google apps.

It was not about banning AOSP-based Google-less systems (like Amazon Fire, which hugely disproves your claim).

I agree with you. It's funny that probably Java exceptions are famously hated on in the programming community while fulfilling those exact points as well. I'd much rather deal with too verbose exceptions (anyone seen them from Jenkins maybe?) than the minimalism that is the default in many languages nowadays.
To add to the other answers, part of it is also etiquette. If the only way you could recover a game was your opponent doing a really bad blunder, at a rating where such blunder is very unlikely you should simply resign.

Obviously, you have to take the whole situation in consideration. If the position is very tricky, you would play on even anyway. If your opponent is low on time, then it depends on your opinion on "dirty flagging".

This only applies to the top, as a +3 advantage is definitely not a guaranteed win unless you're at least a titled player.

The 60/40 rule cuts both ways. You are also subject to daily market to market cash/margin drawdowns.

It is probably easier to just buy RSP and then buy virtually any 'market' or tech etf/mutual fund to round up the top 10-20% weighting as you want it. The reason I say any will do is that there is little difference in the holdings of most of the etfs and funds.
> You call the function. Not so in python, where you have to import it first.

Er, no you don't, if you are using it in the same notebook, module, or REPL session where you defined it. And if you aren't doing the equivalent in MATLAB, you also would have to load the definition.

All of those that died during clinical trials deserve respect for signing up and helping us advance the medicine. Their death is a statistic, but not in the Stalin quote sense! It's a statistic that helped us find the treatment that will save millions.

This analysis does have some limited value for characterizing the complexity required in the processor's front end to decode instructions. Register renaming means it has somewhat less relevance to the difficulty a compiler faces with register allocation, and basically no relevance to the actual size of a processor's physical register file(s).

FDA says Dec 17 meeting to discuss. This contradicts some earlier opinions that the reason the FDA was taking so long to review Pfizer (Dec 10 scheduled date) was that they were planning to review 2-3 candidates together.

For context, scheduling the meeting to review the candidates is running at 5-10% of the development time for these vaccines. 20M vaccines represent about 1/3 the elderly population in the US, there are about 1,300 deaths a day right now, and most deaths are in the high risk category. So you can estimate the cost of the delay to be quite high (depending on your assumptions, but hard not to estimate the cost to be >1000 lives). I'm unsure of any vaccine side effect or release that could be considered worse. Pendemrix caused 1 in 18,000 narcolepsy, which for the 20M at risk who could get the vaccine seems like a good trade-off (if this was as bad as that).

Moderna entered phase 1 trials in March. Vaccines entering phase 1 trials have a 33% success rate overall, 85% successful for efficacy. So this is not a case of hindsight bias, this was always reasonably likely to work. And these numbers include issues like enrollment issues, or the diesease dying out (ebola).

So lets make some assumptions to see what it would look like to "just approve things for the high risk in a pandemic":

For example, let's say that a vaccine maker instead of pushing something 85% likely to be efective pushed through pushed through something 40% likely to work. And for safety, let's just assume it's going to be 2x worse than the worst vaccine ever, so maybe 1 in 10,000 get narcolepsy. But they still push it through.

This implies taking the untested vaccine has a 40% chance of protecting you and 0.1% chance of serious side effect.

For the elderly, who at the beginning of the pandemic has a conservative IFR of >10% and let's assume a 10% chance of getting it. Not taking the vaccine has something like a 1% chance of death.

For the elderly, taking the untested vaccine would in this example would reduce your chance of death by 0.6% but increase the chance of serious disease by 0.1%. For most people, this should be an obvious decision to vaccinate, even using the most pessimistic adaptions possible.

It almost sounds like a conspiracy theory, but in the real world Moderna had a working vaccine in March, and it was always statistically likely to work with low relative downside (for some population), and it has been banned the entire time until now.

The next pandemic could be completely prevented if we focus our efforts on how to approve vaccine candidates in days not months.

Note: I think the bar for requiring a vaccination can/should definitely be higher than the bar to lift a total ban on a vaccine.
Are lithium batteries ever used at grid-scale?

I though the point was that the high energy-density was convenient for mobility, but poor on most other metrics, including manufacturing complexity, stability, and safety.

Grid-scale wouldn't need to care so much about energy density versus stability and maintenance, in which case lead-acid, or compressed-gas storage should shine.
