Is first principal thinking counter to lean startup?
Here is how I think about it.

FP is about learning by thinking. You analyze deeply a situation from it's core foundations to arrive to a comprehensive plan.

Lean Startup is about learning by doing. Quick hypotheses. Iterations from the current state. Full of assumptions and let reality teach you what's true.

So in a way they are contradicting philosophies.

Agree?

Do you know why there’s political pressure to motivate vaccination?

Because vaccines work.
What “kind of people”?
Because the coronaviruses mutate much more quickly, to the point where your antibodies are no longer effective against the new strain.

A URL Shortener in 16 Lines of Code with Node.js and Nanoexpress
I guess if all the profits go to the workers, who provides the investment necessary to start the company in the first place? You could say it's the employees, but then we get in the weird situation of people having to pay to get a job.
Hey there my name is Piero and I'm one of the social media managers over at Replit. While rewriting Replit.sh (our URL shortener I built in just 48 hours back in October) from scratch, I wanted to see just how small I could make a functional URL shortener. With a few tricks up my sleeve, that came out to just 16 lines. This also happens to be my first Replit blogpost, even though I've been at the company for close to 9 months now! Any constructive criticism is appreciated and I hope you all have a nice evening :)

Haha, did something similar too, except it logs to a server written in Elixir and has a Phoenix live view dashboard, which I check on an eink display and on my phone. Data is also logged to CSV at 1Hz and can be analyzed in R.

It hasn’t yet been possible to measure if the coronavirus vaccine protects for more than a couple of years. The first human trial subjects only received it 14 months ago.
So not to pour more anecdotal fuel on the fire, so to speak, but I know of someone who had a confirmed case of COVID last spring in the US, then was tested for antibodies this spring and had few, and then caught it again in India a few weeks ago. Each time was symptomatic. Again, a single data point, I'd be happy to believe that there's lasting immunity.
I guess you're right. But the same basic thing could happen without a conspiracy.

Supply could be infinite and the same still applies. The reason people pay more for refined aluminium is not because aluminum ore is in short supply.

SINGAPORE - The Republic has seen 26 cases of Covid-19 reinfection as Monday (May 10), Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said in a ministerial statement in Parliament on Tuesday.

Such reinfections are known to be possible in both overseas and local cases, he noted, but it is still unclear why they occur.

The minister said investigations are ongoing to determine if reinfections are due to a general waning of immunity levels over time, or a lack of cross-protection, despite a previous infection, against specific variants of the coronavirus that a person is exposed to for the first time.

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/politics/parliament-2...
We aren't entirely certain how long the corona vaccines will be protective.

Part of it is that there's tens of millions of people infected with coronavirus right now, giving it lots of room to mutate. There's maybe a few hundred or a few thousand people infected with polio.
> I don’t see anything wrong with giving an air tag to a child who doesn’t have their own phone.

The negative I see here is that it teaches your child that giving up rights for the promise of more safety (or more likely just because an authority figure says so) is something good and normal.

Also teaching that the concept of constant surveillance is good and normal.

I don't understand why you would like to do this just in case or because "it would have been nice".

Foxconn’s iPhone output in India down amid Covid surge-sources
Economically, I think one huge advantage the Moon has over Mars, is tourism. The Moon is a practical tourism destination because you can spend a few days there and be off-planet for less than 2 weeks. Billionaires can take the time out of their busy schedules for a few days on the lunar surface. Mars is not a practical tourism destination because a minimum round-trip to Mars is closer to 2 years than 2 weeks. Nuclear propulsion may speed up the journey but even then it is still going to take many months.

Once you get regular tourist trips to the lunar surface for the ultra-wealthy, the economies of scale can drive down the cost and grow the market, and you may have the self-sustaining economics for a permanent lunar population to support these visiting tourists – hospitality staff, tour guides, maintenance staff, medical, construction, spacecraft maintenance (vehicles like HLS Starship can't return to Earth for maintenance but that could happen on the surface), etc.

I don't think it has to be either/or, you can do both – establish a crewed research station on the Moon and establish a crewed research station on Mars. But the former has a much shorter path to evolve from a research station (which is dependent on public funding or private philanthropy) into something economically self-sustaining than the later does.
The characteristic length of 2.4GHz waves is ~12cm. This is roughly their feature resolution size. But you can do better with more antennas, more frequencies, more time, and phase information.
In India home prices do not depend on factors such as market conditions, demand-supply, pandemic etc. It is just one thing - real estate mafia which includes a whole lot of politicians and their vested interests.

When you look at real estate prices and everything else in last decade and a half here, you’d be forced to think real estate has been living in an entirely different dimension all this while. It just doesn’t make sense. I’m talking about urban India of course.
The argument is that things should be different for a platform that isn't easily substituted. EGS is easily substituted for Steam because there are no barriers to which store you use on PC aside from installing a new one, and using multiple at a time isn't even much of a burden. The App Store is not easily substituted for anything because there are no major alternatives in the mobile space that don't have the same restrictions, and even ignoring that there's an argument to be made about the cost (monetary and otherwise) to switch platforms that is _much_ higher than switching storefronts on PC.

The one segment you've mentioned that actually works similarly is consoles - Xbox/PlayStation/Switch. These operate much the same way as the App Store and are the reason I myself am torn on whether I agree with Epic. Their argument for why consoles do _not_ apply here is that they are not intended as "general purpose" devices the way a PC or phone is. I don't know if I believe that argument to be convincing, but I absolutely see where they are coming from with everything else.

I believe we are talking about Shannon's direct analogy between information and entropy here. The low probabliity of the atoms of the spaceship being arranged as they are - a specific design of a spaceship - out of all their possible arrangements, is a state of low entropy and high information content.

The EU is preparing to reopen international travel using a vaccine passport.

Israel reopened their society early after their final coronavirus lockdown by only allowing vaccinated to resume normal life.

The cruise lines that serve the USA and Caribbean islands are attempting to reopen while requiring all passengers to be vaccinated, but the governor of Florida is attempting to force them to allow unvaccinated passengers onboard.

It depends a lot on what country you are in and their attitudes towards vaccines and privacy.

You say, "but they do good things". I write back with a link to a list of evil things they've done and are doing, and you don't address that one tiny bit.

So you want to say they're wonderful, but can't talk about what they're doing wrong. I want to say they're horrible, and at least I've provided content.

Introducing nuance? Sure... More like another example of pro-Cloudflare fanboism.
This one's close to my heart since I stay there. At the end of the article:

How do you prove immunity? I thought that antibodies didn't tell the whole story, because your immune systems memory lasts even longer than the antibodies do.
The compromise is to work somewhere, usually somewhere small, where you don't have unpredictable re-orgs, new bosses all the time, rapid company expansions/shrinkages, colleagues who want your throat, etc. It especially helps if it's somewhere there's mutual trust between everyone to say "hey, I think this is the most important thing so I'm going to take X days/weeks and work on this. Things will be better/more efficient/more profitable/easier in Q ways as a result." And then you do it, and things are better, and the business chugs along.

Such places don't exist forever, and they don't tend to be massive growth situations. But they are probably what many people yearn for.

I found this passage especially Interesting: “For this subset, diligence against COVID-19 remains an expression of political identity—even when that means overestimating the disease’s risks or setting limits far more strict than what public-health guidelines permit.”

I never thought of it that way, but more importantly, I never thought such a thing could be politicized. Something has fundamentally broken in our society when people feel the need to politicize every decision.

Babel usually only processes code you write so, assuming that the developer isn’t relying on document.all being falsy or similar makes sense: !document.all === true is surprising and the sort of thing that should be banned with lint rules.

Also, a lot of compilers have ways to enable normally unsafe transformations: in sbcl, for example, if you (declare (safety 0)), the compiler will just automatically trust your type declarations and generate machine code that is unsafe if this assumption isn’t true: it’s useful because sometimes “correct” behavior has an unacceptable performance cost.
In addition to all the tutorials on the arduino site, Adafruit has a lot of tutorials about using their specific parts. Even if you don't have their specific parts, their tutorials (and libraries) can be useful if you have similar parts or parts based on the same chips.
It surely goes back much farther:

“…man never regards what he possesses as so much his own, as what he does; and the labourer who tends a garden is perhaps in a truer sense its owner, than the listless voluptuary who enjoys its fruits…In view of this consideration, it seems as if all peasants and craftsman might be elevated into artists; that is, men who love their labour for its own sake, improve it by their own plastic genius and inventive skill, and thereby cultivate their intellect, ennoble their character, and exalt and refine their pleasures. And so humanity would be ennobled by the very things which now, though beautiful in themselves, so often serve to degrade it…But, still, freedom is undoubtedly the indispensable condition, without which even the pursuits most congenial to individual human nature, can never succeed in producing such salutary influences. Whatever does not spring from a man’s free choice, or is only the result of instruction and guidance, does not enter into his very being, but remains alien to his true nature; he does not perform it with truly human energies, but merely with mechanical exactness…

…we may admire what he does, but we despise what he is.”
― Wilhelm von Humboldt
This is a conspiracy theory. An alternative observation is that some very credible critics see failure andrer failure and report on it.

Here’s an article in today’s New York Times just to pluck one of dozens of data points out of the air. To the extent that the amateur game theory, vulgar p-fishing, and playing of telephone that is public health qualifies as a science, it is the most dismal. Rather than communicate the truth about unknowns, or maybe even be curious about the data that they were basing the guidance to mask outdoors on, the CDC scores another own-goal by seemingly misreporting the threat of ourdoor transmission by 3 orders of magnitude.

> Saying that less than 10 percent of Covid transmission occurs outdoors is akin to saying that sharks attack fewer than 20,000 swimmers a year. (The actual worldwide number is around 150.) It’s both true and deceiving.

…

> In one study, 95 of 10,926 worldwide instances of transmission are classified as outdoors; all 95 are from Singapore construction sites. In another study, four of 103 instances are classified as outdoors; again, all four are from Singapore construction sites.

> This obviously doesn’t make much sense. It instead appears to be a misunderstanding that resembles the childhood game of telephone, in which a message gets garbled as it passes from one person to the next.

> The Singapore data originally comes from a government database there. That database does not categorize the construction-site cases as outdoor transmission, Yap Wei Qiang, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health, told my colleague Shashank Bengali. “We didn’t classify it according to outdoors or indoors,” Yap said. “It could have been workplace transmission where it happens outdoors at the site, or it could also have happened indoors within the construction site.”

This sort of institutional negligence makes the Challenger o-ring disaster look like a paragon of careful professional judgement. Intelligent reporters with an ounce of capacity for independent thought like Zeynep Tufecki are able to get up to speed on the subject and single-handedly provide better guidance than the entire CDC. An institution that can put out false information and bad guidance with all the attendant psychological, political, and economic costs, where no one lifts their hand to argue against the group think is broken at a deep level.

If I sound frustrated it’s because we do need a credible source of information and the CDC should provide that. Every time they do stuff like this they lose more institutional credibility. Instead we get more conspiracy theories in every direction. Even worse state and local governments make policy based on CDC guidance that mis-measures risk and results in worse spread of the virus. See for instance California’s sudden decision to halt outdoor dining which many have argued caused people to substitute a low risk activity for a higher risk activity (meeting anyway, but indoors at someone’s house) potentially resulting in a surge of cases.

> So? The fact that slavery- and slavery-adjacent relationships were common through a lot of human history doesn't make them acceptable now.

I was only responding to the implicit claim of the grand parent.

FWIW, I think "that's how it always has been" has no impact on the morality of something, so I am inclined to agree with you.

But we don't need to paint a rosy picture of a lost past to critique the status quo.
My understanding is that virologists and immunologists can't really estimate the chance of a more virulent strain that escapes antibodies analytically, because the probability space is too big. A mutation might escape antibodies but also greatly inhibit how fast it spreads, and so on.

This sounds apocryphal. Second infections are incredibly rare, let alone three in twelve months.

Like clockwork, every discussion of this matter on a discussion board brings out at least one person claiming to know people who have been re-infected, yet the number of confirmed examples is measured in the low hundreds, worldwide.
Unfortunately this model can't be implemented on iOS

Your app updates go to everyone, even if they've stopped paying their subscription.

So it becomes really tricky to sell a subscription on iOS where, once lapsed, the user can continue to use the latest version available at the end of their subscription.

One way to do this is to have feature unlocks based on a timeline (Working Copy, an iOS git client, does this). Where users continue to receive a subset of features but some new features are locked behind a yearly upgrade payment. This requires littering your codebase with checks that certain features are unlocked based on the user's latest yearly purchase.

I'd love official support for the JetBrains / Sketch subscription model on iOS. As a developer, I would feel bad locking my paying users out of features they paid for just because they stopped subscribing. But I also really can't be bothered spending months developing a robust in-app-purchase feature locking mechanism to work around Apple's limited set of purchase options

But were they really your choices? Everyday you wake up constrained by what someone who is no longer you did yesterday. Nobody is responsible for anything. I mean that philosophically of course. Give yourself a break. I recognize your name from many threads here and believe it you have made a difference. Though I don't know you personally, your words could as well be mine, so I know whereof I speak. You are not missing anything by choosing not to run in the rat race. Retirement is overrated. I will regret everything on my death bed, but that would be true no matter how I lived. To face its closure is regret enough.
From my understanding, there are two main reasons.
1) The two spaced exposures. Repeated spaced exposures build a significantly stronger response.
2) Isolation of the spike protein. Just like ML might pick up on a correlated part of the image while learning to recognize things (many examples, no good links), your immune system may learn to react to different parts of the virus. The spike protein is the most unchanging part, and all the vaccine will teach your body to attack.
For better or worse, it doesn't really need to be smaller.
