I have no mental model of you. Only the shallow care about personalities and identities. You have implied that you have served in the USA military in the Middle East and rather more weakly implied that you have spent time in the unsupervised services stateside. Either or both of those claims might be true, but it doesn't matter. Your putative service has not provided you with insight you're able to share through HN comments.

I appreciate "Collateral Murder" and similar releases by Wikileaks and others because they opened my eye to the world as it really is.

It's a more tax efficient way to return value to shareholders without forcing shareholders to realize taxes immediately. Shareholders can choose to sell on their own timeline, thereby choosing when to realize any capital gains taxed paid.

A secondary reason would be lack of better options to spend the money on (no R&D investment opportunities).

Compared to other sectors, tech is more efficient with its revenue, so it leaves more money behind, which is available to use for buybacks.

What's the underlying factor that makes it possible to only poach the good students?

I'm thinking either it is externally visible or the factor is "solvable" for every student, meaning a school with bad students will receive more policies/measures to boost their performance as everyone is suffering from the same underlying problems. Of course this assumes that poorly performing schools get support at all.
I was one of those "I got something weird in late Feb 2020, maybe it was an early Covid case!" people, so I got an antibody test in April or May of last year, when they became easy to get. Nothing - so yeah, must've just been a weird cold of some sort. It was strange since it didn't have the runny nose or head congestion, but was predominantly breathing/cough related.
The reason you can't go to CVS and pick up heroin or crack is:

Inevitably, lots of people would become addicted and there would be many deaths.

Very critical news stories would run. People neglecting their children to use drugs. Testimonies of loved ones and shattered families.

Politicians would be inundated with calls to regulate these dangerous substances.

Politicians who refused to do anything would be mired in conspiracy theories, accusations of conflict of interest and profiting from suffering. They would be voted out and replaced.

Regulation ensues.
I think stricter licensing and maybe even a mandatory psych evaluation beforehand might help?

Most code (and the effects of removing/refactoring it) are not that obvious at first glance. But I agree, if your code is as simple and self documenting as that a comment like that doesn't add anything. But a lot of the intention cannot be expressed in code alone. This is where comments help enormously. It allows me to review the code and compare it to the writers (often me) intent and spot bugs or refactor if needed. Without it a lot of knowledge has to be rediscovered again.

It's just a "block chain of records" that is useful to keep separately from the documents itself, often in a third party location. In our case, the use is for tracking editing and collaboration in text documents on a word-by-word, sentence-by-sentence basis.

Book Summary: A Philosophy of Software Design
It's a finance person trying to justify their existence. Finance people love variance (bubbles in the extreme case) because it's the only way they make money. If stocks grew 5% a year with little variance, the best strategy is just to hold, wait and cash out when you need to spend the money. But if it goes down 15% one year, then up 22% the next, there's a lot more money making opportunities. Financial analysts love bubbles. They make tons of money and if things go really bad, they get bailed out. The worst thing in the world is consistent growth without variance. It's a way to make money without actually making anything. Most people in finance will try to justify themselves through some sort of liquidity argument but the author appears to be getting more creative.
These aren't cultural or symbolic uses, though. People who do these things need powerful chips and a cooling solution that allows them not to throttle under load. Most modern laptops are ultrabooks now with poorly designed cooling solutions (due to the thinness of the devices) that throttle under load and are unsuitable for these uses. Even M1 Macbooks have issues using multiple monitors.
I don't know why your comment is being voted down, it's a reasonable one, although I disagree with parts of it.

Depending on your skin type, "Get Sun" may not be good advice, especially if you make a mistake. A single significant sunburn in your teens significantly increases your lifetime risk of getting a skin cancer, of which melanoma is just one. My wife developed melanoma and is in remission. She is fair skinned and very sun-cautious -- typically using clothing as a primary barrier with sunscreen. Like anything risk assessment and risk tolerance is key and difficult to assess.

Another factor to consider is that mortality doesn't always tell the story. Some surgical procedures introduce significant scarring. Treatment for a stage-2 melanoma will often include removing lymph nodes, which introduce other complications. Also be careful, as past diagnoses of cancers were not great. That melanoma that moved into an organ may not have been classified correctly in 1960.

Personally, my advice is go outside, dress appropriately and use a mineral-based sunscreen if you're going to be out for more than a half hour or so. Don't go swimming at solar noon. Don't tan. Wear a rash-guard at the beach. Wear a hat at the ballgame.
> Cheap, simple, easy, fast

I mean, this page is not simple, easy, or fast to develop. Instead of just writing a simple article, the author had to source/create at least 2 dozen images with no value only to lay them out on the page in the middle of paragraphs, making the article as hard to read as they could muster.

Enjoy the nostalgia and break from modern clean websites, but anything else justifying the look of this page is just crazy. And connecting it to modern services and the downfall of the internet or whatever just sounds like you're trying to be edgy.

We are in a massively better place now than a decade or two ago as far as the internet being accessible to everyone, both on the publisher and consumer side, despite the hate for big corps.

That would be a great strategy and probably wouldn't cost much. Pay open source project authors to maintain popular projects. Right now, technologists in Europe are starved of capital. We have 0 surplus capital to take any risks or to innovate; we're too busy chasing the next paycheck to think about building infrastructure.

Even when we do build infrastructure, there is 0 government support; governments or tech companies don't make any effort to bring any attention to EU open source projects.

All other countries have protectionist structures but EU imports all its tech, even though there is more than enough in-house talent to build it - They'd rather give out contracts to US and Chinese companies and have their EU citizens working for these companies as employees instead of giving their citizens a chance to actually run the companies.
I agree. If what I have is "good", then others must have it worse.
Like you I'd wanted a remarkable but could never justify it. Then a friend told me about the handshake crypto that was given away to GitHub users back in 2019 https://handshake.org/claim/ and how it was worth real money now.

Anyway, I claimed the coins, transferred them into dollars (just before the recent crash) and bought a remarkable for "free".

Honestly, it's a nice tablet, but, I'm glad I got it for free ;)
There's a lot of confirmation bias in this thread for sure.

I thought I had COVID around February/March 2020. Roughly a year ago antibody tests became readily available, so I got one, and it came back negative. There was a strain of the flu going around during the winter of 2019-2020 that was not protected against by the flu vaccine, that I suspect is contributing to a lot of the confirmation bias (and I'm guessing is what I had at the time).

I'm honestly surprised there's so many people in this thread who think they had COVID but never got the antibody test. They're cheap and quick, and if you could have confirmed you had COVID antibodies, at least for me that would have been a huge stress reliever during the last 12-18 months of pandemic lockdowns.

Melanomas are the skin cancer of primary concern.

Your "50% reduction in melanoma" link is interesting, but pretty small & low-powered - and followup comments (such as https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.2011.35.5727) highlight potential major problems in study design. For example:

• Study wasn't originally designed to detect effect on melanomas - that endpoint was added later. (This, alone, suggests possible p-hacking.)

• Instructions thus didn't even direct sunscreen application to the areas melanomas most often occur. Yet, at followup both control & intervention groups had a disproportionate number of melanomas in exactly the areas where application had been directed (and most applied, by self-reports, in both groups). As the commenters note, this is actually consistent with the theory that sunscreen encourages overexposure moreso than it protects.

• Small changes in arbitrary study choices - like to what extent back/leg melanomas were considered (when those areas weren't part of the encouraged sunscreen-application area), or whether a 1, 2, or 4 year exclusion of early events applied – remove the claim of 'significance', suggesting a very fragile result.

If the protective relationship of sunscreen were real, it'd have lots of studies with robust results. Or, the massive increases in recent decades in SPF factors, sunscreen purchasing/use, and sun-avoidance messaging and practice would've reduced melanoma rates. Instead, melanoma rates keep going up. To me, that's far more powerful evidence than a repurposed study with 11 more melanomas (but fewer invasive ones!) in a slightly-less-sunscreen-using control group.

The squamous study is also murky, though not as much. Its abstract notes, "There were no significant differences in the incidence of first new skin cancers between groups randomly assigned daily sunscreen and no daily sunscreen (basal-cell carcinoma 2588 vs 2509 per 100,000; rate ratio 1.03 [95% CI 0.73-1.46]; squamous-cell carcinoma 876 vs 996 per 100,000; rate ratio 0.88 [0.50-1.56])." The same number of people got new skin cancers in both groups! It's only the secondary count of tumours where the control group had more. I'm unsure that's an important protective effect.

But going back, I really should have said: "no data showing more sunscreen reduces deadly skin cancers". There's a reasonable amount of evidence sunscreen reduces various kinds of mild skin-tumours, much like the obvious-to-the-naked-eye effectiveness against sunburns.

But for melanomas/death-by-skin-cancer – the top worry of most sunscreen users – any effect is either very weak, non-existent, or possibly even inverse.
First I have to admit I had flu like symptoms in January, but being it was the first time in years I had been sick I decided to test for anti-bodies early on. I was negative for the anti-bodies.

>why wasn't there a mass outbreak at that time in their area, causing a surge in hospitalizations?

This raises a very big question about placebo effect/mass delusion. Is it possible media reporting of a pandemic for a new virus which we have no natural immunity for actually had an effect of negative health outcomes early on? Realistically the news alone could be responsible for increased stress, much less the real threat of uncertain near term economic instability, and excessive stress is devastating to immune systems (so potentially there could be a lot of data available regarding certain bio markers like increased cortisol across large swaths of the populace following the news leading to worse health outcomes compared to covid cases before the media reporting).

But let’s say for example where media ( I suppose backed by statistics) reported outcomes were better in youth than elderly been altered (even slightly) simply by reporting that youth had more severe symptoms and negative outcomes whereas elderly seemed to be relatively unaffected.
Perhaps it would help you put less emphasis on your own goals and help those around you. I don't know how else someone would answer this question, because obviously the problems that a lot of people with ADHD suffer from are not the ones you have. But that's one area where it's helped my partner understand some of my shortcomings. You haven't admitted a single shortcoming, and perhaps that's part of the problem that an ADHD diagnosis would help. Almost like a semi-functional alcoholic not realing that despite a successful career, they always smell like alcohol and do nothing but spend time drinking.

They wouldn't be exploring this unless it was presenting an issue that's reasonably explained by this, so I'd say it's worth doing. It may or may not be helpful, but putting your goals ahead of therapy seems unwise. And actually now that I think about it, this is one of the things an adhd diagnosis did help me with. Perspective. I'm much less self-absorbed and try to be more open and caring where I catch myself being dumb.
Ask HN: I am stuck on a Career Choice. Any advice on what could I do?
Hey HN,

I'm 25, completed my Marketing Management Degree and I feel like I made a huge mistake.

I studied marketing as it was my only option to move to Canada (I know it is dumb). I have always loved physics and I think I am alright at it (Doing graduation self study) and more involved in it these days and I'm pretty sure that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.

I like Math & coding. Now I am thinking of getting a "BSE" in physics to get into the field but I no money or a job support as it will be expensive. And It will take four years and I will be 30 by then.

I'd like to hear your point of view, maybe I'm missing something here. Thanks in advance for any advice.

> Where can someone look up a lat,lng by entering an SSID?

Others already linked it, but https://wigle.net/ allows you to - sorry for linking the wrong map!

> . But if you're concerned about someone learning your SSID and finding a database to map it to a location, can pick a generic manufacturer's SSID of which there will be thousands, if not millions, of devices using the same SSID.

I don't know about the US, but in Germany most manufacturers have an unique appendage to the name, i.e. "Vodafone HomeBox DEHGTN". And the name doesn't have to be totally unique; if you can narrow the location down to a country or even a city (which is usually not that hard if you read someones post history or talk with them) it should suffice.

Also, it's not big when someone is aware of this tracking possibility. The real problem is that most people aren't.

EDIT: Just to prove my point, it took me 2 minutes to find out you're in Massachusetts [1]. If you're SSID is a bit unique, this is probably already sufficient.

>hand writing or drawing.

A few weeks of practicing 10 minutes a day or so will give you good handwriting.

A few weeks of a basic drawing course with a small amount of practice will give you decent enough skills to get your ideas down on paper.

People naturally do the things they like to do. I actually enjoy the process of writing with fountain pens, calligraphy, taking notes, etc. Strangely, I also really enjoy the experience of typing.

Taking notes and drawing don't make me cool. Carrying a notebook and a fountain pen made people think I was kind of eccentric more than anything. Carrying an iPad Pro 12.9 with a stylus made people think I was a geek. No one was mean about it or anything, but it definitely doesn't make a person cool. Just be who you are and do the things you enjoy.

If you think you would enjoy writing/drawing, put a little bit of effort into it and you will have pretty good results.

As far as the e-ink tablets go, I'm hoping the large format ones become more affordable and more polished. I would love to have one but the value proposition vs an Ipad is terrible. Single-purpose devices can frequently be better than a more generalized device, but in the case of these E-ink tablets the few things they do (reading, writing, drawing) generally offer a worse experience than doing that same thing on an Ipad. The only upsides are battery life and the e-ink screen.
My understanding is that the vaccine will create antibodies for the spike protein (since that's been the thing the vaccines reproduce to train the immune system on) but not the nucleocapsid protein. https://www.technologynetworks.com/diagnostics/blog/covid-19...
