In the first wave we saw that covid was taking people on average 12 years before they would have died otherwise, and most of them needed no assistance in their day to day living before they were hospitalised and died.

That's not the frail cohort you're making them out to be.

And that was only true of the first wave. The second wave is seeing death in younger people.

Listen better.
I mentioned how talkers tend to be more likable, and that’s true. Sometimes, over-communicating puts people at ease. But it’s also important to pause once in a while and listen. Good communicators take a breath once in a while! Likable people are always listeners who are curious to (genuinely) learn new things. The best communicators talk and talk–and then listen for a response. That makes them an office favorite.
> I mean, you can disable it/enable it selectively, maybe I should try it with some Firefox extension.

The one I use is called, appropriately enough, Disable JavaScript [0]. It puts a simple toggle button in the toolbar, and remembers the setting on a per-domain basis. If a website has annoying behavior, it's little effort to switch JavaScript off to see if the site is still usable that way, or to re-enable it briefly to glance at some missing content. I recommend it; it's surprising how many sites I've disabled JS on, and left that way because there's no major breakage.

The same could be said about many European countries. Singling out the US seems to be motivated by a desire to affirm a particular political narrative that favors mandated subordination to the state.
Congratulations!
It's honestly very encouraging to read about it taking so long. Usually you hear about these 3-month projects that hit 1k MRR like it's the most normal thing in the world.

It might be a bit egoistical, but this makes me feel better about my project going at a snail's pace (after 6 months I have something barely resembling an MVP).
I'm curious as to kind of integration you're referring to.

On paper, monetary union has prevented the economic integration from happening. The diverse economies of the EU are diverging; the north is reliant on export markets outside the EU, while the south is destined for decades of internal devaluation, even in a best-case scenario. Does this help social integration, or does it foster mass resentment rooted fundamentally in cultural differences being amplified?

Which wars has Trump started? Last I checked, he will be the first president in a long time not to start/enter a war during his presidency. In fact, he's trying to pull troops out of his predecessors wars and instead Congress is seeking a super majority to block him from doing so in the NDAA.

No, it isn't. There is a very important difference here, they are not equal, and the editors have conflated the two problems. An an example, losing your digital photos and losing control of your digital photos are not the same problem for one to have. The article even states that the data was unlawfully accessed, and I think "stolen" in the title is a failure by the editors.

> Mail-in voting really feels crazy from other countries. Just check why it was banned in France

This feel vaguely concern troll-y, but I'll engage. I am sure that there are valid security concerns, and some possibilities for fraud with mail-in voting.

However the argument about "Oh look it's bad, there are so many possibilities for fraud" would look a little more okay if the President wasn't engaging in it [1] and his party wasn't also quietly pushing for more of it in areas where it benefits them. Of course they find some flimsy excuse to justify this “well, ours is called an absentee ballot because you have to request it”.

You can't have it both ways. If mail-in voting feels crazy, the 2016 election where like 25% of eligible voters voted by mail should also be considered invalid.

What is not okay is crying "Fraud" in nebulously defined ways for only the states you lost at the moment you start losing with the existing system. This is basic kindergarten stuff, so it's kind of funny that it has to be explicitly explained in such a big national event.

I agree. This is all established fact. Look at the FISA and the Carter Page lawsuit. A government informant leaked fake information to the press and the FISA warrant was based on that information. They literally made up information to get a warrant. That's literally a baseless allegation and all the documents that have come out in discovery back that up.

I think there are two fundamentally different worlds here. Many of the people in this thread, and in big tech, still trust CNN/FOX/MSNBC/NYTimes. But if you look at the past four years, they've constantly given us bad information, or used misleading headlines (most people don't read past the headlines), and often the content of the post itself contradicts the headline.

That's why this YouTube thing is so important. People like Shapiro, Megan Kelly, Tim Pool, Viva Frei, No Agenda .. they actually dig through this stuff and expose how corrurpt the media really is .. and they are insanely corrurpt.

We've had months of "mostly peaceful protestors" and I've watched people all around me on the left defend the burning and looting. "It's just property." The media is corrurpt and this shows YouTube/Google is just as corrurpt, trying to use their massive influence to control a narrative; making something absolute that should be brought deeply into question.

We are not in 1984. We've been in 1984 for decades. It's just now the Internet has allowed people to see that for themselves, and Big Tech wants to take that away and tell people what to think again.

No, I see those stories in the same way that I see stories about people winning the lottery; it can happen, but it probably won't.

Growing slowly has aided me hugely in being able to refine and optimise as I went. If I had the money to throw at marketing 2 years ago, to get loads of eyeballs on the site, it would have failed. Because the product wasn't ready then. It's been 2 years of listening to feedback and making incremental changes
that has allowed me to really start growing revenue this year.
It's also funny how the way you recount the story is the way most people remember it. It is, in fact, not what happened!

What really happened was that someone created a web page that resembled the Google results – and included that suggestion. They managed to get that page to become the number one hit for the search term "french military victories". The idea was then that if someone hit "I'm feeling lucky", it would seem like Google suggested "french military defeats".

The page is still up, although the Google-like appearance is no longer very up to date: https://www.albinoblacksheep.com/text/victories.html
People get served with warrants all the time during criminal investigations.

When you refuse to come out of the house when the police repeatedly demand it, that tends to escalate the situation.

A fired employee accesses a government system to mass email the emergency response team, the first thing that’s going to happen is a warrant for your electronic devices to image them and investigate. This is in no way surprising.

It sounds like Google has plenty of plans for Stadia in the years to come.

> What I can tell you is that we’ve built a roadmap of about 400 games in development right now from 200 developers. So when those games land, whether it’s in the calendar year of 2021 or beyond, is something that you’ll hear more from us in the future. Will there be more developers and more games on the platform? Absolutely. But frankly speaking, my team is almost done with 2021. We’re thinking about 2022 right now — that’s our focus. 2023 is really kind of where we’re aiming our sights. 2021 is in incredible shape. Hopefully, that gives you a sense of the scale of where we’re moving.

My new gamification SaaS is ready for the next level and feedback
I'm a first time user, so I hope I'm doing this right. ;-)

After a little extra time this year (due to COVID-19), I've finally reached a good point with a gamification service that I've been thinking about for quite a while. I believe all of the MVP features have been sufficiently implemented and tested and a modest website and admin tool has been built up to support it.

So, I believe it's ready for a wider audience to check out and provide feedback.

I'd love to hear any kind of constructive criticism on the website and the service itself. For those who are interested in trying it out for some time for free, I'd love to hear about their experiences...good and bad.

So...I'm ready for feedback...! Please be gentle. ;-)

> I suspect it will take them that long to fix all their bugs.

It's long been the norm to release a game in a buggy state and patch it up later, to the point that I'm surprised so many people are still willing to buy on (or even before) release day.

I'd rather wait 8 weeks, say, than be an unpaid tester.
My career is actually in Product Management, but yes I am a developer... not the best developer but I can make anything I choose to.

I think the product management background is what has helped me as I focus on the user and the product... focus on value.

Rightly or wrongly I don't get hung up on code, infrastructure etc. The only thing matters (in my opinion) is that if a user sits down to use it, does it provide them a benefit.

That is what I have been (and am) laser focussed on.

While it isn't humorous, "delta P event" is so dryly understated that IMO it belongs (when not involving human tragedy). Delta P events would be explosions if they happened in air. As violent as an atmospheric shockwave is, the speed of sound is >4x higher underwater, in a medium that is >800x heavier. The amount of casual violence implied in a "delta P event" is profoundly unnerving.

Having worked in the City since the 90s, I've seen the Euro conversion come and go, which would end the City, then more EU attempts to centralise finance in Frankfurt, would end the City, and also Japan/HK/Singapore/Beijing, would end the City.

Frankfurt is another hour away from New York, and English isn't the first language. The vast array people with financial skills are in London.

I won't argue that this isn't significant, but it's assets, not people.

And let's not forget Gordon Brown's "light touch regulation" led to lower costs for financial companies operating out of London, due to less regulation and bureaucracy than the EU.

It also helped fuel the credit crunch as well. So there's v2 of that to look forward to if the next UK government decides to relax oversight to attract businesses.

I'm getting tired of all the news around vaccines.

Every change is being portrayed as either a huge loss or huge win.

Things change, millions die. A virus is just a virus.

We should look forward to a future with fewer people in it.

What has vaccine medicine ever done for the average person?

EDIT: this is sarcasm, obviously!

The point is that the parent comment is making rhetorical generic points about "change", and "the future" which apply to any kind of change, including mass death.

He neither references, nor provides, any evidence or substantive content that shows this change will be Good.
The number of people killed in a year by toasters never deviates more than a couple of standard deviations from the mean. The number of people killed by terrorists in history could be exceeded in a single event. Likewise, at the beginning of the pandemic nobody had been killed by COVID-19 - were you making your toaster argument then too?
This is completely absurd. There has been no time in the entire history of the
US that our "democratic systems were transparent, verifiable and understandable" in the face of a president and an army of his minions spreading lies meant to confuse people and undermine elections. The elections have never been more secure than they are right now.

When NO fact finding court will back up any of your claims then how do you know there are "problems" with the ballots in Georgia? Your only source is partisans and the manipulated media they are releasing.

Just because trump has been working to blanket the airwaves with lies and half truths to sew doubt doesn't mean there is anything there. If there was they would be taking it to court and not losing 50+ cases.

There is no way to justify trying to overturn the vote based on technicalities while filling the airwaves with lies about fraud and that the election was stolen. If there is fraud they can prove it. If they can't prove it then they don't get to find loopholes to steal the election.

Can you actually not tell that trump is using marketing and con artist style manipulation to trick you into believing the election was stolen? There is no substance to these accusations.

>> There are a large number of people who like arguing things and debunking. They just need exposure.

"It's cold outside, put a jacket on or you'll catch a cold!"

This isn't debunked yet but it's had plenty exposure over decades at this point.

Some things are just too boring to question so plenty of people continue to put on a jacket to avoid catching the cold, which does nothing, rather than washing their hands before touching their face, which could stop some spread.

Eric S Raymond's all bugs are shallow thing appealed to me but hasn't really worked that way. I think that's a similar story.

I think this premise of exposure always solving radical ideas is likely to be false but it's not without merit because exposure and illumination are such great tools in other cases that are very like this problem.

To me footnotes/endnotes exist as the least bad way of working with supplemental information within the constraints of the _printed_ page (i.e. it can't be dynamically re-rendered).

I want my electronic documents to do it better, with true re-rendering and inline/overlay display on demand. But it is partly a matter of taste, and there is also something to be said for a degree of skeuomorphism.
