It isn't universal, but browsers surely provide a good case study here. Most of them auto-update today. In the past, exploitation via bugs where patches existed but people didn't update was measurably common. Supply chain attacks against autoupdating browsers haven't really materialized.

If the goal is to prevent the most volume of exploitation, autoupdaters clearly win.

Vietnam, China,Taiwan had positive GDP growth in 2020 and as far as i know the only countries with positive GDP. Your article is from September. Q4 data is now out so you can get the full 2020.

Countries that failed to contain the virus like Europe and the US had negative GDP growth and racked up large amounts of debt.

Who is to say that other vaccines don't have the same side-effect? That could especially be assumed of the other viral vector vaccines, so Johnson & Johnson, Sputnik and CanSino, none of which have received much scrutiny so far.

Even if the mRNA vaccines are safe, we depend on J&J and AZ doses for our reopening plans in Europe. We can expect economic damage from any wait for alternative vaccine doses.

How is this different from any other certification?

In IT, many people starts their career with certifications and without a degree. Get a MCSE/RHCSA/CCNA/AWS cert and you can get entry level jobs without a degree. This is not new. But certifications haven't killed college degrees. There are plenty of job offers who specifically request having a degree to avoid people with just certs (and automated systems that filter out their resumes). And while there are very talented people with no degrees, at the end of the day recruiters will usually choose a candidate with a degree before one without it. How are Google certs going to change this?

IMO this is just a sales pitch for Google certs. As for the "partners" who promise to hire a specific number of people with these certs, they just want to hire cheaper IT workers and nothing else.

I finished What is the name of this book? by Smullyan and am halfway through The Lady or the Tiger? (also Smullyan). I'd read the latter years ago along with one other book of his.

They've been a pleasant, light diversion in the evenings the past few weeks (with stretches of not reading them and doing programming learning/side projects).
'Your "standard evolutionary math" still assumes relative birth rate differences as they are right now will stay the same into the future.'

I have no idea what you are talking about. No such stability is required. No such stability exists in nature, yet evolution persists, right? The completely standard predator-prey recursive relationship intrinsically involves highly variable (successful) reproductive rates in a constantly oscillating relationship, but I don't hear anyone suggest that disproves evolution.

To be honest, if either of us are assuming constant situations that never change forever into the future, it really seems to be you. My entire point is based on variances. I'm arguing against the proposition that no intelligent species will ever spread across the universe because early 21st century humanity in the first world seems to not particularly be interested in it today.

Again, the discussion here is integrated across all possible intelligent species, not "humanity". It only takes one species to uncontrollably reproduce to spread across the cosmos. Science fiction is replete with possible such species. Does the HN gestalt not frequently remind people that aliens can be actually, you know, alien? Not just humans with funny foreheads?

Even Elon Musk might quibble with the idea that nobody in the first world in the 21st century wants to spread across the stars. If Mars were to build a self-sustaining habitat (which I define as a habitat able to build another equally-self-sustaining habitat), it doesn't matter whether there's 12 billion people on Earth uninterested in spreading out into the solar system, if Mars starts building and growing and spreading further. It only takes a few. It would then not further matter if they build a self-sustaining asteroid-based civilization if all the people on Mars decide they've got it made, and nobody ever again leaves Mars. I say the argument that 0.0000000000000000000000% of a species ever wants to spread out into the stars once they have the capacity, just because we happen to live in a couple of decades where most people (not even all, just most) wouldn't be interested in it is not a sensible one. It's parochial even on human terms; it's beyond parochial across the set of all possible intelligent beings.
I kind of agree with parent. While I don’t have a problem with symbolic use of adoption, I do have a problem with “multiple adoption”.

When I think of a donor “adopting” a case, I have a model of “this donation sufficed for lifetime care of that case”. If one donation isn’t sufficient, then maybe a group of donations would collectively be the adoption.

You shouldn’t have a scenario where there are more adoptions than cases (gorillas in this one). I mean imagine if a foster agency said they processed five adoptions but had only two children.

People have been saying this for a very long time. I did a startup in Pittsburgh back in ~2009, and this was exactly what everyone was saying. My cofounder is still doing startups in the same space(ish), but in the Bay Area now.

That doesn't mean it won't ever come to pass, but I am still skeptical. (And I live in Austin now... but the startup I work for is still fundamentally based in the Bay.)
Trump did plenty of dumb stuff. It bothers me when people misquote him so bad they are practically lie about it because it makes people doubt all of the bad things he really did.

I received a pair of Tannus Airless tires ( https://tannustires.com/ ) for christmas, and have been waiting for good weather to install them.

While they weigh more than regular tires, they weigh less than the combined weight of regular tires + pump + patch kit, so it's a net win on weight.

For me, the biggest win is not about not worrying whether or not I get a flat, it's not having to pump the darn things up week in and week out before going out on my (admittedly city commuter) rides.

Stopped eating beef and fish. Beef because the water usage required is extreme with beef in particular. It takes 12,000 calories of plants to make 1000 calories of beef. Fish because ocean acidification means my grandkids will likely never be able to find non-farmed fish and the fisheries need all the help they can get.

Ask HN: How to Become Detailed Oriented?
Problem:

I am terrible at noticing details, missing them while writing a report, making spreadsheets, and writing an email. Basically, I will miss some part of the information I am aware of but I just completely forget to add it and after sending it I notice that I have forgotten something.

I have had to very high price for this in the past from losing clients to getting fired from my last job. My present job requires me to pay close attention to detail and I am worried I might lose this job as well.

Solutions I have tried :
Use online writing helpers such as Grammarly ( where I wrote this post)
Reviewing a few times before sending anything (I can catch about 30-40% of my errors but there is still 60-70% errors)
Biggest Pain point:

Formatting excels, messing up variable names while writing code/query.

I am looking for advice that can make my life a little easier.

P.S. Please forgive me if I have inadvertently eaten up some words. I happy to give clarifications.

I (very much) appreciate the thoughtful response, but I have to push back because I don't think you appreciate what climate change trajectory means. At the current rate, much of the planet may become unlivable _within our lives_. While the other kinds of environmental impacts matter, they don't matter as much as (the degree to which) the climate will be impacted. Its a bit like caring about the quality of your car's interior comfort features as you head 80mph into a brick wall.

> Eg, Germany has an energy policy shaped by an acceptance of global warming and their electricity grid is a hot mess compared

They don't, because they don't build nuclear power plants. Simply put, if you don't build nuclear power plants, you don't (fully) understand climate change. Unless you have a plan for your country to use dramatically less energy (which I don't believe is tenable), its the only feasible option in the time frames we need as far as I know.

> It was (and remains to be, for many of the OGs) about making a space for peaceful people which was outside of the manipulation of large institutions, both corporate and governmental.

I agree with this explanation, and would add that I think the simple point is that people should be able to save their hard-earned money and accumulate value in a way that's divorced from technocrats manipulating the economy.

Precious metals have served this purpose for a while, but obviously a virtual system dispenses with the huge inconveniences of storing heavy physical objects. You've got gold that can be transported at the speed of information.

The institutional system we have now has essentially decided that saving money is wrong, that deferring consumption is pernicious.

Of course, this is a boon for "consumer capitalism", which last I checked is reviled.
It’s so funny for people to have this concept of "evil" as if that were axiomatic.

I've had cats all my life. I would say it all depends on the cat. For some cats there is nothing worse that having another cat in their territory but some are more social.

> By your response, you're suggestion that we should not have even bothered with clinical trials? Just inject anything we thought might work, right away, just in case?

That's very clearly not my suggestion. You're being absurd. You're talking as if the AZ vaccine had no clinical trial. It did. It's been proven safe for the vast, vast majority of the population.

At no point did I say that this shouldn't be investigated. It should be. But there is no need to pause the rollout of the vaccine while that happens. A reminder: 40 cases in 17 million. Very few of those 40 cases have been fatal. "Pause for a few days" is very generous. How many days? We all know investigations like this can go on for weeks. Months, even. All the while the much more dangerous thread, COVID, is allowed to spread further.

The risk from pregnancy is way higher than the risk from covid. You'd accept a 5% risk to avoid a 10% risk, but you wouldn't accept a .5% risk to avoid a .001% risk.
From the vaccine blood clot data it looks like ~.07 thousands of a percent die from blood clots, while for young people the risk of death from covid is around ~.7 thousands of a percent. Thus if a) the blood clots are caused by the AZ vaccine, and b) the risk of getting covid as an individual is <10%, taking the AZ vaccine carries a higher risk of death than not taking it does.

I had never seen that video and it made me laugh out loud about the idea of being passed by a van. That sort of thing has happened to me twice, and each time, I did laugh out loud.

The first time I was driving a Prius over, and then down the Tehachapi grade in the middle of the night. I was maintaining 90-95 mph. I got passed by a U-Haul van. Hahahahaha. I love it.

And then I was on the two lane road from Tecate to Ensenada. Standard mountain driving. Don't remember the speed exactly but I was definitely going double the speed limit, driving a Tundra. I got passed on a blind curve by a full size Mexican passenger bus. Once it was over I laughed. Can you imagine the people in those front seats?

So boy that video brought back the memories.

Think about this phrase but replace it with other crimes:

> All legislation would do is create a situation where it's "illegal" to [commit some crime] even though just about everybody knows how to do so trivially and secretly.

The list of crimes that fit that description is huge:

- rob a convenience store

- molest a child

- commit insurance fraud

- make a pipe bomb

- ...

We still outlaw those things, even though most people already know how to do them (or could figure it out quickly) because we don't want people doing them routinely and we're willing to force people to stop.

Interesting to consider the total complexity of that approach though.

An iterative fibonacci solution runs in linear time. Calculating the N'th fibonacci number requires O(N) serial operations.

A fully parallel, recursive solution without memoization requires that each value in the sequence is computed more than once. Consider the example of fib(4):

fib(4) = fib(3) + fib(2)
fib(3) = fib(2) + fib(1)
fib(2) = fib(1) + fib(0)

You can see, that if we run this in parallel, the value of fib(1) has to be calculated twice. As the tree of operation branches out, more and more duplicate calculations are required.

A quick google suggests that the time complexity of the recursive approach is O(2^N).
