Denmark also just decided to make the AZ vaccine (which is also dropped) voluntary in the sense that you can opt-in for getting it if you aren't afraid of the risks. I'm sure the J&J vaccine will follow. So not entirely dropped.

Streak | Senior Frontend Engineer | REMOTE ONLY (North America timezones) | Full Time | https://www.streak.com/careers/product-engineer

Founder of Streak here. We build a CRM right side Gmail using browser extensions.

This role is an incredible opportunity not only build user facing features in a complex web app but also to hack on top of Gmail. This can be incredibly rewarding to build something that feels native to Gmail (and to be fair, frustrating at times!).

We're looking for someone who has built complex client side applications before and has extensive experience with designing frontend architecture. We use modern tooling like TypeScript, React, Redux, etc and are always open to improving the tooling we use.

We're a small team with a highly profitable and sustainable business. We're a great fit if you're looking to do your best work in a low bureaucracy and balanced workplace.
Where do those damn atoms go? (2009)
Ah, well in that case I guess it's a sure bet that we'll reach it. Betting against the experts hasn't been such a bad idea through this whole dismal ordeal.

Let's hope, anyway, because that second shot is a doozy and I sure don't want to have to repeat that every year. I suspect, though, if this does become endemic, they'll tweak the dosage a bit of the vaccine, and it might be akin to only needing the first shot (which hardly affected me), possibly slightly more often.

The question stands: Where is the "net loss" statement coming from ?
Visual Studio nags you if public methods and properties aren't documented. It's not a panacea, in fact it's easy to work around but at least they're trying.

IME, the only thing that works is to attack it from a Project level: make usable documentation (needs a review before being signed off) a deliverable or the project isn't done.
You can blame the system when it misleads its users. To this day, the Model S configurator calls the system "Autopilot" and uses "Full Self-Driving Capability", "Navigate on Autopilot", and "Full Self-Driving Computer" as bullet points of things it can currently do.

The fine print isn't a justification when you're saying as loud as possible that this is a magic machine that does everything. Describing it as such is misleading.

For comparison, here is how Cadillac describes Super Cruise, a comparably-rated driver assist suite:

"Super Cruise" drive assistance feature. That's it. That's all you get when picking out the car. It frames it as an assistance, not a replacement or autopilot. If you go into details, you get "A driver assistance feature that allows hands-free driving under compatible highway driving conditions"

https://www.cadillac.com/sedans/ct5/build-and-price/packages

If you search out their detailed marketing materials, the message is consistent:

"Hands off the wheel. Eyes on the road." "Adaptive cruise control". "Stay centered". "Lane change on demand". Note that none of these promise that the computer takes over everything. The closest they come is "the first true hands-free driving-assistance", and that word assistance is absolutely key in framing this as not a replacement for all driving.

Hello World | Senior Software Engineer, Generalist/Backend | Non-Profit | Remote (U.S. only) | 135k

Hi, we’re Hello World! We’re a new non-profit on a mission to build a community that helps discover and develop the potential in teens. We are building a global, mobile-first platform to help notice teens and connect them with opportunities (fellowships, scholarships, etc).

Our product is live on iOS and Android and growing quickly. In the eight months since we've been live, we've already placed over 11,000 teens from around the world with opportunities, and plan to place several thousand more by the end of 2021.

Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy and Bill Jackson, founder of GreatSchools, are both on our board. The Eric and Wendy Schmidt Strategic Innovation Fund is our first funder and Schmidt Futures is our first customer. Our CEO is an education executive with 30+ years of experience, our CPO is a former startup founder and product manager from Khan Academy, and our CTO sold his previous company to Google.

Our tech stack uses Typescript + React Native on the frontend with a light Rails backend running on App Engine. We’re still early so there’s lots of room to craft and improve our stack.

We’re looking for generalists with a backend focus who can own the backend and dive into frontend as needed. At our current stage we’re light on process, so you should enjoy working with a high-level of autonomy and decision making authority. If you’re looking to use your stellar tech skills and expertise to meaningfully impact the lives of talented teens around the world, this might be the place for you!

I guess with some designs they could also reduce impact via e.g. the autorotor effect that a helicopter would use if the engine dies. Obviously does not apply to this particular setup.

But most designs have at least some lift, which means there is some optimal glide ratio that minimizes vertical speed. Finally, having separate, isolated systems helps as well. This is also common with multi engine aircraft where an all engines out scenario is very rare. It's a challenge but not necessarily something that can't be addressed. Even some simple airbags could help here.
I think Amazon's too big and broad to describe any experience as typical, but there are certainly differences in the type of business.

You are 100% right that my products are niche and premium, and that definitely makes a difference. But on the other hand, if you're a startup selling a commodity product, you're in a bad position for a whole lot of reasons other than Amazon.

From an advertising standpoint, you're right - I have the advantage of selling a product that has a high repeat rate, and that's helpful. On the other hand, my AOV is fairly low and my margins are okay but not extraordinary.

I think that the points you're raising here are what matter - not Amazon. If you're in a business that is one of: high AOV, high margin, subscription/frequent repeat customers then you're okay. If you're in a low margin, commodity business and you aren't operating at a huge scale, you're not in a great spot.

Ultimately, I think the actual value added by Amazon for startups is trust - I know that if I order from them, your product will arrive on time, and if there's an issue it'll get fixed ASAP. All of the other stuff, like two-day shipping and customer-friendly return policies, is doable off of Amazon. Even trust is achievable in other ways, though - my company was featured in an Associated Press article that was broadly syndicated, and when I slapped "AS SEEN ON USA TODAY, FOX, KTLA AND MORE" on the top of every product page and the top of my FB ads, it made a huge difference immediately.

And actually now that I've typed that I'll add one more thing in Amazon's favor - ease of use. If you don't know a lot about ecommerce, it's pretty easy to get set up and ship them product. It's also easy to advertise, simply because their advertising is much, much simpler than Facebook. There's no copy and limited ability to use creative outside of your product images, so you don't have to constantly test stuff. While my sales on Amazon aren't high margin, they're also extremely low effort.
Same here. I never invested in BTC, but the moment I understood ETH, I put everything I had saved for months into it. That was back in 2017 early 2018.
What is the financial status of FSF?
I appreciate the the response without the snark.

I was hoping for more plausible risks, like "a regulation restricting X" or "innovation in Y."
People in the US rightly don't trust the pharmaceutical industry or the government. They may not be able to pinpoint why, but when they look around they see that every year the people around them are more obese and have more chronic health conditions. They may not be able to tie those things together consciously, but it leaves the powerful subconscious feeling that the government and pharmaceutical industries do not want them to be healthy.
They are also known to hoard 0-days for years, and use some of them in their own attacks against others (such as, quite likely, Stuxnet). So, even there, the reason why they release information about some cyber threats isn't the simple fact of their existence, it is some other calculation of the effect of releasing this information.

The good part about releasing information about exploits and such is that they can be easily verified to exist, so there is no need to trust the spy agency. Any claims they make about the source of those exploits is not easily verifiable, and since you can't trust them, should be ignored.
Garnet | New York, NY or Remote (US) | Full Time | https://garnet.app/careers

Garnet is a no-code tool that lets you build your custom community space online. Instead of having to weave together 10 different tools for interactions such as fireside chats, icebreakers, etc, Garnet supports all these interactions in one place. We allow you to compose all these different interactions and use-cases to make a home for your community that feels like it was made for you.

We're fully funded, founded by two engineers from Twilio and Airbnb, and looking to expand our team with both software engineers and product designers.

Software Engineers: looking for quick learners who are passionate about difficult architecture challenges that come from running untrusted user code to support custom apps on the platform. Frontend is a big surface area for us right now, but we also have a lot of interesting backend challenges.

Product Designers: Looking for experience building and maintaining a design system of composable components, and good evidence-based UX sensibilities. One of the trickiest parts of our platform design-wise is we have all these "apps" that can be arbitrarily composed together in community venues by users.

Email us if interested! =) jobs@garnet.app

Yes, it really was quite perplexing. I imagine the "reason" was to make it more mobile-friendly or mobile-first or perhaps just to standardize their properties more. However, as you noted, it really degraded the product. I went from a daily user to an almost never user.
I thought this was going to be about jokes :(
It's not an education problem. It's an ideology problem. A huge fraction of the country has basically lost all faith in public and academic institutions. In these polarized times, when many leaders that institution-skeptics listen to decided to make COVID a political issue in the ongoing culture war, listening to public health recommendations (including masking, vaccination) is akin to "letting the other side win".

Earlier in the vaccine rollout, some minority populations were skeptical of the vaccine for more historically-grounded reasons (i.e. historical discrimination/abuses in the healthcare system), but that skepticism has faded dramatically [1] as more and more people get the vaccine. Only one group [2] has been pretty consistently unwilling to get the vaccine, and it's tightly coupled to the same ideological alignments that are dividing society in all political and social arenas.

More education won't change deeply-held ideological beliefs.

If you're looking to join a team of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other, discuss past mistakes openly as we adapt to the challenges that come with progress, all while realizing our mission, then you'll be excited to learn more about us.

Our colleagues span six time zones, California to Berlin and points in between, with lively discourse flowing freely across Slack, Zoom, and the office when we're able to be there. Wherever we're working from, we've always deligted in our work to ship new features—beginning with our curriculum and product teams, designers, through to testing by our dedicated quality assurance folks—that put teachers and students first. [1]

Our engineering team [2] takes prides in producing innovative, maintainable software. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our front-end development. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails, though we're actively moving toward Haskell services as we scale to keep up with our traffic. We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure configured with Chef and OpsWorks, though we're migrating towards orchestration using Kubernetes. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. We've also developed and maintain several useful open-source projects. [3] You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog. [4]

We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness.

I'm currently building a platform to improve turnaround time in labs doing COVID-19 RT-PCR analysis. I've sent patches to Google's Tulsi, Homebrew-Cask, GitHub's Catalyst, CPython -- I helped put the helicopter on Mars! -- and a couple of other Python libraries.

I'm looking for any interesting opportunities. Especially in the finance industry.
I think "glitch" is a word we apply to software that we rely on but can't fix, software that we cope with like we cope with the weather.
In addition to the points raised by the other comments, a big reason we decided not to use `engines` in Volta is that `engines` can be a range: One of the design goals of Volta is to allow for reliable, reproducible environments, and a range is necessarily not static (new versions are released all the time).
>Is this an education problem? Is there not a consistent minimum science curriculum for K-12 which covers pathogens, treatments and the history of vaccination programmes? Are there other factors that are relevant?

It's not an education problem and while most comments I predict will consider that the main factor, I disagree and consider it a condescending take. We all learn about Louis Pasteur and successful eradications in the past. It's a cultural/philosophical problem. Right-leaning americans in general value a certain degree of autonomy over a guarantee of safety and if you coerce them "for their own good" they'll double down on whatever the opposite of what you're suggesting is. In the case of this pandemic, all of the mixed messaging regarding mask-wearing and other prevention measures poisoned the well in the first quarter of 2020, before the messaging became consistent by the summer. This turned a health debate into a struggle for rights: "We're all in this together" vs "99% let me take my chances". It's the same debate as 2A. For 2A absolutists, no statistic has come out that justifies giving up what's perceived as an inalienable right.

The article itself is about a man validating the truth behind his drug induced spiritual experience of god.

I can't use science to disagree with that opinion because it's religious flame war?

Then logically the article itself is instigating religious flame war.... He argues his side I argue mine.

I don't think your being impartial here. His post attacks my beliefs and I attack his in return who is instigating war here? Your saying he can attack my belief but I can't argue for mine.

Are you saying that if an article shows up on HN supporting logic and science and atheism no religious person can argue against it or offer their opinion?
You hope they adjust architecture. When you teach introductory lectures in a poorly ventilated theatre to 500 students you have a problem.
"But spirits, I don't think they are interested in doing that, at least from what we've seen so far. And that gives credence to the idea that they don't exist because if they care about suffering there would surely be something they could tell us, how to prevent it from happening. Don't go out tonight, there's going to be a fight."

Some cosmologies (in the religious sense of the term) posit that there is a variety of spirits in the world, with a variety of natures and motivations, some benevolent, some malevolent, others indifferent.

So some may want to help you out, others might want to trick you, yet others might hurt you or use you.

Such a view is common, for example, in shamanistic religions, which frequently deal with what they understand as the spirit realm, often with the use of psychedelics.

Pertinent to this article, such a view is common in ayahuasca shamanism.

This is why the shaman uses all sorts of techniques to communicate with, appease, and direct the spirits. They're not, in the common view, spirits that would necessarily be benevolent and helpful were it not for the intervention and skill of the shaman... and there are dangers in the spirit world too, or so it is believed.
