I agree with the first part, but the one with the biggest power center must also take the biggest responsibility. When the literal head of the nation gleefully boasts about the size of the election rally crowd during a killer pandemic wave, yeah, its on him.

>As for people running for hospitals, a primary reason (as per a doctor who treated my dad for Covid) is that people are ignoring symptoms for days (over a week at times) after which virus does enough damage that only option they're left with is getting oxygen assistance.

Hospitals will give the same protocol as people are following at home. In fact add the empathetic environment of home with proper food (compared to the sheer lack of care in any hospital right now), and people are recovering faster at home. Yes, there are many cases though where people had serious damage and they neglected to go early. Just saying this issue is complicated and I can understand why someone would hesitate to go to a hospital with 99F fever and slight bodyache.
There’s definitely some reasons for real value in defi but cheap loans is not one of them. With millions in collateral you can get ~1% APR from several places right now. That’s way lower than any crypto loan I know of. One way is to sign up for an IBKR account from several countries, and wire them assets, completely without human interaction.

Chia's problem is your chance of "winning" is directly proportional to the global number of participating plots.

Adding plots costs 100GB a time, so an 8GB drive can get you about 80. If you want to double that, you must buy another drive. Double it again, two, four, eight drives etc, and they're like $200 each.

The number of participating plots you are competing with though, is going up exponentially. That will double by itself in a couple of weeks.

So people in at the ground floor, who premined, will do great, the whale-sized farming operations with a significant fraction of the lottery tickets will do great, for everybody else every hour dilutes their chance of "winning" anything.
Although, judging by the photo at the top of the article, it seems to turn them into rats!
That means it doesn't have the same cost as bitcoin. That says nothing about why Chia coin is useful. Can I do anything with it, or is it one of those things where I buy it now in the hopes other people will buy it from me for more later?
>It's the same as rest of the country, just not as high as the states where election rallies and religious gathering acted as a bigger catalyst.

Literally what I said.
I'm not sure, but given it came off the back of a war of independence (and became a civil war) it seems relative. I think the UK is in the better negotiation position, so I doubt there would be many concessions.

In any case, they'd have to adopt a hefty bill: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland_fiscal_defici...
Can you say the actual facts and/or calculations that lead to 10x? From what you've said, it could be that crematoriums were already operating just below capacity and are now just above capacity, causing growing backlogs even with only a very small increase in demand.
This reminds me of my sci-fi dystopia idea:

An intergalactic network of wormholes enables rapid travel and communication between worlds, but the collective energy output of the universe's stars is devoted entirely to bitcoin mining, ultimately accelerating the heat death of the universe.
Do you have anything to back that assertion up, that the poverty jobs will disappear?

The only articles I've ever found that say that come from the Heritage Foundation or the American Enterprise Institute, and neither of those is anywhere near an unbiased source.

All the research (excluding the pieces from those two think tanks) suggests that the job markets remain stable through minimum wage increases, and in some cases the labor markets actually gain jobs -- possibly because more money in the hands of poorer people is going to go right back out into the community, as a matter of need.

While 100x is unlikely all over the country, it's surely happening in some places at least.

In my district of Kolhapur in Maharashtra, the district officials report 30-40 deaths per day, while official numbers stay at 1-3. That means the state is under reporting by 10x to 40x. And this is still counting only those people who,
1. died in hospital after being tested +ve for covid
2. did not have any comorbidity, as then they'd be classified under that comorbidity, however ridiculous it might seem(e.g. person dying of diabetes when infected by covid)

So actual numbers are likely to be much higher, given that all beds were full already last week itself.

Note that this is an opposition ruled state. Situation is even worse in BJP ruled states, where for example,
1. Tests are done only for few hours a day.
2. People are being charged with spreading misinformation for asking for oxygen cylinders on social media.
3. Deaths are being under reported heavily.
4. crematoriums are not accessible to reporters.
It really isn't clear to me what you are trying to say.

As I pointed out, and you agreed, the 70% tax rates in the 1970's brought in <1% of total federal tax revenue. You then added:

>…The same rate and thresholds in 2021 would represent a significant fraction of the tax revenue raised by the IRS in 2021. Estimates range between 5 and 15%, depending on the pundit.

I then asked for clarification on where the 70% margin would start.

>…The threshold for the proposed 70% rate is $1 million,

What politician is suggesting a 70% rate a million? The suggestion by AOC was for a 70% rate at 10 million.

>In the 1990s, it shifted to a right-wing organization,

The wikipedia entry looks like a balanced take:

>…Its research and analysis has historically emphasized publicizing federal and state financial information, arguing against the use of tax systems for "social engineering," and urging "broad bases and low rates" tax reform.

I don't think their goals have changed:

>…The Tax Foundation's first project was a successful effort to stop a tax increase in Westchester County, New York, where they provided research and analysis (including an "Expenditure Survey" of state spending) to local activists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Foundation

Trying to label a group or to talk about polarizing donors instead of their actual argument are just low effort attempts to poison the well.

>…My comment notes that even the TF low-balling the tax proposal would raise over $150 billion;

You haven't provided any analysis showing that they are "low balling" the revenue. Also they did not say it would raise 150 billion. (I don't know if you are simply misremembering, you are trying to mislead or if there is a different report on their web site.) They said it would depend greatly on the specifics of how it was done, so they showed two scenarios and in one version of a 70% tax would bring in 189 billion additional revenue over a period of 10 years and the other version would result in a tax loss of 63 billion over 10 years.

>…I did not specify a time-frame.

To be charitable, I thought that since you were saying how a 70% rate would raise 5-15 percent of federal revenue, that you must be thinking it was that much every year, otherwise you would likely just be trying to mislead by implying they had some level of agreement with you by conveniently not mentioning the actual timeframe they were using.

>…Conventional analyses note that the tax proposal is expected to raise at least $290 billion of the next 10 years,

You have provided no citation for that. Indeed the Tax Foundation is talking about the AOC proposal of a 70% tax rate at ten million, and you now seem to be saying that you are talking about a 70% tax rate starting at 1 million.

Your point at the start was:

>...The same rate and thresholds in 2021 would represent a significant fraction of the tax revenue raised by the IRS in 2021. Estimates range between 5 and 15%, depending on the pundit.

Federal revenue this year will be about 1.9 trillion. Even if your proposed tax would bring in an average of 29 billion a year, that is obviously not 5-15 percent of IRS tax revenue - it is much closer to 1%.
Not squandered at all because it's not too late to learn something like programming, for example, and knowledge of Debian will help you get started. Linux is a great platform for programming. Languages, libraries, IDEs/editors are only an `apt-get` (or what have you) away. It's so powerful, even Microsoft had to come up with WSL to try to remain relevant to developers.

I don't follow, I think?

The tests that you link to suggest that SSDs meet and exceed their manufacturer's durability claims as measures in petabytes written.

The problem appears to be that manufacturers want to translate that number into something consumers understand, and farmers now want to take them up on that for their industrial use of the devices.

Manufacturers use "lasts for 10 years" as the label for consumers. Which seems entirely reasonable - the disks really will last for 10 years in typical usage, and this phrasing seems useful for consumers.

Now we could fix by either requiring that any warranty standard must hold under any imaginable usage scenario, or manufacturers could resort to a somewhat squishy "reasonable use".

I think the "any use case" requirement is not practical, and we have a long history of "reasonable use" being used, eg for cars.
Someone should write a book about an AI that is developed as a new cryptocurrency, with PoW providing it insane amounts of compute power to its AI algorithm instead of performing dumb hashing races and proof of space providing insane amounts of fast storage. And us humans feeding it more and more of both out of pure greed, until it eventually becomes self-aware.
This is the best pro-bitcoin argument I’ve heard in a long time! One big question I have is why bitcoin specifically has the value and not other cryptocurrencies. Others provide the same technical security guarantees. Bitcoin has a lot of hash power, which is nice, but that doesn’t seem to provide much additional security compared to other major cryptos, especially if the government of China can ruin it at any time. Why not Etherium, which has a lot of additional useful features? Or some other crypto with lower fees and a higher transaction capacity? One that’s carbon-neutral? I buy that bitcoin is important (I do own some), but I don’t see why the value should go up, or that it should end up being worth a big proportion of the benefit that cryptocurrency brings to humanity.
I was just about to say that. China has an economic system where it is politically feasible for the state to own significant assets and portion of the economic capital. The West doesn't, we have a (mostly neoliberal) system based heavily on finance and private ownership, and nationalization of assets is an impossible policy.

You can destabilize the finance system by creating free money, in fact, according to exogenous money theories, it was always possible to create money out of thin air. But until cca 1980s, the creation of new money was confined to financial institutions (not just government) and heavily regulated.

The regulation was gradually lost (that's why we are having these asset bubbles and financial crises), and Bitcoin democratized the money creation even more.

But regardless whether you believe or not that Bitcoin can destabilize financial system, ultimately, if things go south, China can actually react and pull the plug on the financial industry, limit its power in the economy at large, because it owns big chunk of it (or can make sure it owns it). In the West, however, this is a political issue, and governments can only watch the financial system fail and cause another big recession (or at least, huge misallocation of resources, for example in real estate).

So why would China care? Geopolitically, they have the upper hand. We should care, though!

But seeing as you all look like you're starving to death and have destroyed your system's resources, how about we just donate a few universal constructors and a bunch of feed stock for them. We've got enough fuel to make it to Proxima Centauri, so we're good for now. Oh-- we're hard coding the universal constructors to "food" only though because your life choices have been... well never mind that, our philosophy is not to judge."
Who will simply either pass the costs along to the consumer, or shut down.
That really depends. Where they activists? Then hell yeah, because it will be great from now on, like a calm morning with the sun shining after a stormy night.

A company I'm involved with fired their lead developer and it really was cartoonish how everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Others are stepping up, discussions don't take forever because that person needed to be at the center of everything etc. They've picked up a lot of velocity since then, simply because a problem-employee is gone.
You can still do this with a webapp though (although I guess in some sense Apple looks at Safari traffic logs probably). Apple just wants the revenue.
I find it amusing how close this brings Basecamp to Lenins idea of 'democratic centralism'.
And a lot of people don’t need or want a workplace to “care about their wellbeing”. A job is not your mommy and daddy, they are not there to take care of you. They pay you money to provide a service. You should be able to take care of your own wellbeing like a normal adult.
Agree with almost everything. Health care is collapsing around us.

10x death-undercount nationwide is probably not accurate. Major states like Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala are reporting close to accurate numbers. 2-5x nationwide is likely, with places like UP, West Bengal and Gujarat undercounting by 5-10x.

This thread is full of people pointing fingers at:

1. Election rallies

2. Kumbh Mela

3. Farmer Protests (Yes, they are still going on)

4. The government's incompetence.

And all of these are completely valid reasons. But does anyone living in the country really believe that these are the only reasons? There are still people who believe that Covid is a hoax. People who had not worn a mask for the last 6 months now wear paper thin masks in large crowds and expect to not get Covid.

My neighbor contracted Covid recently, but they have not told anyone about it. All of their household help is still coming. Some of the family members still go out to meet others.

This situation is really a reflection of the selfishness of the people. I have seen medium-sized business that cut salaries if employees take leaves due to covid. So these employees hide their symptoms and report to work. If you are doing any of these things, please self-reflect.

Admit they made a mistake and address it, rather than institute a childishly overbroad ban on all "political conversation" specifically to shut down criticism related to their mistake.
>No guessing, no manual figuring out which 7 commits belong to the ticket in question, potentially 6 of them had the ticket number in the commit message like they should, but the 7th, [...]

Lots of people it seems don't know this: _you can revert a merge commit_, which includes _all_ the commits that were part of the merge.

So, if you have a feature branch with 7 commits, you merge those 7 commits _with a merge commit_, if you need to rollback, you rollback _the merge commit_, which includes all 7 commits.
This has nothing to do with being a climate scientist. In the real world, being able to compare field measurements across an entire country going back over a century to a small fraction of a degree C is almost impossible.

Why are you so eager to accept the data without questioning its validity and demanding proof?

Note that I am NOT denying climate change at all. Deniers are fools. It’s very real. Zealots also fall into the fallacy of believing everything they are told, because “it’s science”. Well, science requires proof and verification. If someone is going to claim to be able to make these kinds of comparisons, they better be ready to support their claim with evidence. Believing anything anyone says isn’t science, it’s a cult.

Show me where, in that entire website, they talk about and provide data on instruments and methods and you might have a point. If you can’t find this information, why do you believe their claims? Based on what? Because they are scientists? Since when is that sufficien proof?
Numbers are being significantly underreported. Although it might not be 10-100x everywhere. It is a mix. Some places it is 2x, some places it is 100x.

I used to use the word "crazy" all the time, until it became apparent to me that it's not particularly kind to use a word that primarily exists to disparage severely mentally ill people. There's no positive way in modern English to call a person "crazy".

As a younger person, I made a similar change regarding my use of the word "retarded" to refer to situations I thought were nonsensical or illogical. I'm now embarrassed to have used that word so thoughtlessly, even though it was pointed out many times that it was an unkind thing to do.

Call it radicalism if you want, but I think it's just a matter of stepping back and reevaluating behaviors I took for granted. You know, literal critical thinking.

We're not yet at the point where people look at the word "crazy" as being wildly inappropriate in the same way as "retarded", but I think it's completely reasonable for people to raise the point that putting it in the title of a book that represents the whole company is not a good idea.

You're fooling yourself if you think Basecamp will be improved by losing 1/3 of its staff, including some department heads and long-tenured employees, as well as its nearly universally positive reputation.

Maybe, but burnout is a very broad term, and doesn't tell you what's going on in the brain. We're very limited in diagnosing brain problems and I wish there was more tech to help us with that.

I am not sure how "the infection the rate of spread is much lower in Punjab and Haryana" is the literally the same as "It's the same as rest of the country, just not as high as the states where election rallies and religious gathering acted as a bigger catalyst". To me that reads like saying the rate of infection is much lower than the country average.

it's also a statistical certainty that a sufficiently large crowd will have 5-10 censors who will block any discussion they don't like

I don't see how the voting system enables anyone to block stories hitting the front page. Mods can block things (presumably) but that could still happen with a more personalized feed.

One simple solution to the problem of articles you think should be on the front page not getting there is for you to look at /newest more and upvote the articles you like. Once an article gets a vote it seems to attract more votes even just within /newest. If you're not seeing the articles you like then maybe submit some?

Ultimately HN is about squeezing millions of readers in to the top 30 posts. That's probably why it works quite well. I have no doubt that a lot of people find their tastes aren't well catered for and leave for other sites, but that's OK. No one should stay on a website they don't like.

Where does in the link he claims covid is conquered. He specifically says we are in endgame and to succeed politics should be kept out of the Covid-19 vaccination drive. There were too many guys questioning vaccination. Why twist the sentence?
Per my experience(and seconded by local newspapers), crematoriums would allow the family to pick up the ashes on the next day. Assuming 8 hours for cremation(it takes less than that), this suggests that there was at least 2x the buffer available. Probably higher than that, as I've not seen(or heard of) all pyres being occupied at the same time.

This means in places where there is shortage of pyres, deaths must be at least 3x the earlier one.
I dunno about Adderall but Id experience similar cases (stuttering, brain fog, social anxiety) after working hard for extended time, albeit nothing as extreme, and figured out a long time ago it was probably low glucose (there's sort of a saying for it in Chinese) and I'd indulge myself a bit in sweet stuff like chocolate and sodas. Most of the time I try to eat healthy. I have no idea if it actually helps though lol
Like those distorted maps of the united states weighted by population[1], your post should be read with "environmental compliance" as the center of mass. Yet you shrug it off like a footnote. Nobody, except perhaps ship designers, cares who has the biggest piston engines.
