At my local hospital, the ER and walk-in clinic have doors next to each other.

The idea that the ER can't triage non-emergency care is some sort of bureaucratic construction designed to facilitate making money.

Everyone should have the right to be treated reasonably nicely, even if they misbehave, unless there's some kind of threat to life or some other extreme that obviously never comes up in the context of software development.

I also got to play space wars on a pdp-1 but my father didn't invent digital photography :(

Wondering though...I visited the Rochester labs in the mid-80s -- hardware I had a hand in was being used there for projects that I suspect were secret at the time such as computer simulation of photochemistry and warping of photoint images to conform to map data. I wonder if I met your father?

If I were to use a language like this, I'd use AutoHotKey to map certain strings to symbols. I already have several, e.g.

α = qalpha

β = qbeta

↑ = qup

∀ = qall

¬ = qnot

Since you read code more often than you write it, I think it is actually preferable to work with a language like this.

Generally yeah some people will just hit spam as unsubscribe even to something they signed up for. A lot of people have email overwhelm. You gotta figure that a fraction of people on any service behave oddly.

I’ve even done it myself on occasion when I’m pretty sure I HAVE unsubscribed but I keep getting mail (from things I likely signed up for)
I mark any newsletter as spam if I didn’t intentionally sign up which is 100% of the time

The context is a guy claiming the mRNA vaccines will create a “humanoid race” with no evidence and everyone rushing to the other side and saying there’s no situation where exogenous RNA can ever be integrated into the genome, also without evidence. I doubt anything like this occurs with the mRNA vaccines, but you helpfully exposed this dialectic with the links.
Can you provide link to any follow up the researchers are doing?

Trust in health institutions is very much misplaced. The science is good, after decades of refinement, but the people are often egotistical and imminently fallible.

Do not trust doctors. Do your own research. Trust scientists, but verify.
Sorry, what is "our" demographic?
It’s not irrational for people who aren’t worried about Covid to not worry about it. I didn’t downvote you and I understand your point of view, but you have to take other people’s perspectives into consideration - to me, Covid is a bad flu and I’m not stressing over something that has a much smaller likelihood of killing me than my weekend skydives do.

No, if the slide was prepared for storage the sample would have been embedded in a preservative with the cover glass glued down around the perimeter. The sample would likely be mixed with a mixture of alcohol, glycerin, and acetic acid known as AGA to prevent decomposition, this would kill any bacteria or viruses in the sample.

I have a microscope from my uncle, also a doctor, which came with a ton of slides he prepared. If you don't know someone who had to build that collection of their own specimens in med school, you can get all kinds of prepared slides commercially:

> So what would happen if you made your own "stock market"...

Let's say someone like Elon Musk wanted to launch a personal IPO. He raises $1B for a share of his personal wealth. There's instantly a value floor, because if his total market valuation becomes less than the amount he raised he can always buy back his own stock and he gets a bargain on the money raised.

E.g. if the IPO price was $1 per share, and now the market is $0.90 per share, he effectively gets a 10% discount on money he originally raised back at the IPO -- hence the value floor.

Bitclout is nothing but a popularity contest with the participants hoping a greater fool will buy in after they do.

What about that broadway actor who was 40 or so, young kid, had his leg amputated spent like 120 days in ICU and didn't make it? Pretty sure he wasn't obese.
Take this comment with a grain of salt, but there was an episode of House where his patient dug up some old treasure chest and it had a bottle with smallpox sores and they got infected. I remember him saying the virus can lay dormant for a long time. I’d make a phone call or two and get that safely dealt with.
Couldn't the same be said of J? If APL's powerful notation comes from not having to memorize much and being a good visual representation of what the verb does, doesn't J's usage of alphabetical characters achieve something similar albeit a bit worse? For example "i." for index and related functions. Since the letter 'i' is usually used for indexing, one could assume that "i." is something related to indexing. Does the usage of alphabetical characters weaken the notation so much that it could be considered an abomination?

If there was another language that was a copy of APL but with new non-alphabetical symbols that were less suggestive than the original APL symbols, would that language be considered to have a less powerful notation? If so, how much weaker would it be considered? What would the symbols of a language that is APL-like and uses non-alphabetical characters, but would still be considered an abomination look like? Would that language be considered to have a more powerful notation than J?

This might be a bit of a stretch but I'd like to use the symbols on a media player as an analogy. The symbols on a media player (play, pause, resume, seek back, seek forward) could be compared to APL's symbols. Then, for the J version of the media player, rather than the symbols, there could be "Pl", "Pa", "Re", "SB", "SF" or something of the sort. I would say that the APL's symbols do look nicer, but I don't think J's usage of alphabetical characters should be considered an abomination. If so, wouldn't all text GUI's (e.g. command line managers such as nnn or MidnightCommander) be considered an abomination compared to a regular GUI version?

Maybe I'm not looking at the right thing here but APL's and J's notation seem to be similar. One does look better than the other, but both seem to serve the same purpose.

"If you are unable to drive due to an emergency medical condition, shouldn't you call an ambulance instead?"

Maybe I broke my hand, that' doesn't require an ambulance - my life is not in danger. What's the point of self-driving if you can't rely on it when I need it most?

It's not about money, it's about reliability. I recently tried to get a rental bike with an app, their app crashed, refused to accept a code they sent me, then blocked me for requesting too many codes (2), leaving me stranded.

Then I went to rent 'official' London bikes, you have to accept 42 page rental agreement. And if the machine is out of paper, it will take your money but won't give you a code to get the bike. Their app will happily charge you for 2 bikes, and will give you 2 codes, but only one of them will work because you are only allowed 1 bike per person.

So I got sick of this BS and bought my own bike. It's less work than jumping through all the hoops these idiot companies make me deal with.

but this bullshit is invading every most private aspect of our lives and soon we will loose our rights to ownership.
I think wizzwizz4 only corrected the (quite big) factual problems of the grandparent. But about the claim of “the vaccine can modify our DNA”, I think this reply is great: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27467454

Basically, while there are known mechanisms for mRNAs to getting converted to DNA, these quite complex mechanisms don’t just exist there. And the mRNA injected gets destroyed in ~half an hour. Basically, if there would be a constantly working mechanism for converting mRNA to DNA, our genome would constantly grow significantly since all sorts of mRNAs are constantly created inside cells.
Or just do some good old inferring: if there was a lab accident with 3 workers showing symptoms of a common cold seeking medical assistance (and them spreading infections along the metro line of their commute to the hospital), this must have been the superspreader event of the century. How comes, the general rate of cold symptoms within lab workers conforms to what is statistically expected? Why is there no spreading in their social vicinity? How and why were they apparently infectious only on their individual rides to the hospital?

You really have to come up with a theory that may explain this very selective and peculiar pattern of spreading. Otherwise you may turn your interest towards an entirely different theory of origin.

How does this work when the "violation" is in open-source software? Wouldn't the issue be with products which incorporate the patented technology? I thought part of the point of the patent process was to encourage inventors to disclose how their inventions work so, while the inventors do profit from them, innovation could continue without everyone hiding secret formulas from each other.

I've seen both responses from people I know. One person has always been a bit of a workaholic, and used work as sort of a coping mechanism for anxiety. As one might imagine, they started working much much longer hours. Another person I know got in the habit of working from about 10 to 3 or so, to the point where I was worried for their job. I think the lesson is that people's relationship with work is just a highly individual, and people will have very divergent outcomes.
I really like this comment, but I'm having a hard time picking out which group you're referring to. Are you talking about the people who "lose faith in democracy" because other people make their own decisions for themselves (however risky those decisions are), or the ones who think it is their duty to run around making decisions for others?
What is more moral:

- Asking the tiny fraction of the population who are immunocompromised to remain locked down until the safety of vaccines has been empirically verified?

- Or asking healthy humans to take an experimental vaccine with no recourse should they suffer adverse effects?
Only way to close all services in one go is to close your account.

AFAIK, this isn't completely true[1].

> That would mean a much smaller house, much less technology, a very cheap car or public transit, vanilla food, only a few suits of clothes, and bare bones health care.

I'm not too far from this, 30 square meter apartment, no car, make most of my own meals, have only a few inexpensive clothing and don't have private insurance (because universal healthcare is better). I have a fair bit of technology but that barely makes a dent in my overall budget, in the last couple of years it's just the internet and the electricity to run them.

10 hours a week (assuming I could get divide my current salary by 4) would barely pay the mortgage/rent due to inflated housing costs. With 20 hours I could pay food/water/electricity and probably have enough left over for some indulgences.

So this is feasible for me, but I just creep into top 10% income bracket in my country, it's definitely not achievable for most people.
Etleap (YC W13) Is Hiring a Technical End User Documentation Writer
Technical Writer

We are looking for a technical writer to create technical product documentation for our site/product, and help us maintain it on an ongoing basis.

- High degree of user empathy - our docs will take hard technical concepts and translate to language that is a pleasure to read.

To apply, send your resume to jobs @ etleap.com.
If there was a fundraising event in between, this was a generous offer. The strike price on those options could've gone way up. I'm not sure if that's the case here but I've heard it happen at other fast growing startups.

My body is not about me? Which people around me are more affected when I take vaccine than me?
They're phenomenal at understanding a narrow slice of human-created systems at that (those pertaining to computing, typically).
Sounds to me like they see their users as idiots.
Exactly this. Dramatic videos of people experiencing adverse events following vaccination make the risk appear much bigger than it is.

COVID-19 being old news makes the risk appear much smaller than it is.
Why not instead apply syntax highlighting to the URL?
Certainly your choice to take something with just an emergency use approval. If you are in USA, consider reading about what docs are useful to have, in case you would need compensation from the vaccine injury fund.
Your 1930s house is almost certainly not typical of the median house that people lived in the 1930s. One third of Americans didn’t even have full indoor plumbing in 1930.

For one the fact that it’s preserved likely means it’s one of the finest homes of the era. Two it’s heavily updated inside. Air conditioning, modern appliances, high capacity electrical circuits, fire safety, better windows and insulation, etc.

And more and more often, unsubscribe links go 403 or even 500 when on Tor or well-known VPNs, while the rest of the site works fine on it. A great way to make me never want to deal with you again is to coerce me to doxx myself to unsubscribe from your newsletter.
Presumably the survival rate for getting the vaccine is higher?
Honestly? No. In the face of a major pandemic, and with the size of the clinical trials and the effectiveness of the vaccines, the ethical obligations to the patients in the trial to unblind the results to get the participants vaccinated is pretty paramount.

There are somewhat more exotic studies designs that can be used for post-unblinding monitoring work that meet the ethical obligations to the participants.

But it's a good question.
Unfortunately, not. It's one of those smaller companies that developed k8s management UIs that got bought by a bigger company that offers k8s-as-a-service. So there is no code, there is no open access, you need to "contact sales" to have a demo etc etc. In the end, it's very similar to e.g. Rancher, but without an ability to upload YAML files.

A lot of California has plenty of water - the northern half. The valley used to just flood periodically. It doesn’t anymore because the water is diverted to cities downstream and used for controlled irrigation upstream.

Having Southern California rely entirely on the Midwest for food doesn’t sound very sustainable. Overall it’s not good at all for America’s second largest metro to entirely rely on an area 2,000 miles away, is it?

I agree there are far more sustainable desert farming practices, but simply saying “stop using water to farm” is akin to saying “stop living in the desert and needing more water than naturally occurs there”.

What's your definition of anti-vaxx?

To me, anti-vaxx means someone who is positively against vaccines, as in "vaccines give people X, so people shouldn't get vaccines", where X is some undesirable condition, autism, thrombosis, etc.

Being skeptic, but not against vaccines is not anti-vaxx. If someone says "I don't know if vaccines are safe", I don't think that's an anti-vaxx stance.

In fact, if you don't know about biology or virology, the "I don't know if vaccines are safe" is a totally reasonable stance to have, and not getting a vaccine is also a reasonable decision if you're not sure about the safety.

I personally don't know if COVID vaccines are safe, and I still got it, but I understand that I'm taking a risk by getting the vaccine without understanding it, because I figured the risk of not taking it is higher, but my estimation was relatively uninformed.
This doesn't seem to be the case. At least studies on Moderna/Pfizer have found lower rates of asymptomatic infection/transmission in vaccinated people. Source: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-br...

Given how important it is to get the vaccine to as many people as possible, please avoid making this misleading statement in the future.
