You are looking at deaths as a measure of how bad it was, when Sweden and other countries put in to place measures to reduce infections and therefore deaths. Can you spot the problem with this?

It’s not perfect, but you can compare the severity of each countries measures here: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-stringency-index?ta...

Sure they can.

Here, I think some lawmakers probably thought (a) "if someone can use this tool that well, then more power to him", or (b) I don't like it, but it is so unlikely, and I can probably live with it.

I don't think it was a scenario of someone failing to "consider the case."
I work at a place that uses Jira now (cloud-based) and it is OK.

I worked at another that had a self-hosted Jira on an underpowered server and it was not OK. (45 s to load any page.)

There was a time that everybody, his brother, and sister was making a project tracker that would beat Jira but I think everyone who has tried that has tasted despair.

Seems in the 2020s something that is part Lotus Notes, part Model Driven Architecture, part NLP and part ML would be a thing but we don’t have it yet.
> It is strange ProPublica not understand this basic concept.

One could ask how you demonstrably cannot understand the conflation of two unrelated concepts?

Concept A: taking a risk to create a startup that you hope becomes a profitable company by executing to its core competency

Concept B: investing in your own company through a tax vagary with an investment device that has nothing to do with startup (or a particular startup)

Seems clear as day to me.

Many times, $0.001 turns out to be too high a value for startup shares -- a lot of startup shares end up being worth zero.

Microsoft's usability dementia started with them removing the 3D relief from toolbar buttons in Windows 98 to look like plain icons and making menubar labels indistinguishable from toolbar buttons (except text instead of icons) just for the sake of looks, despite all these having different user interactions.

Then again they were never completely consistent. For example in Win3.x design 3D elements were supposed to be for those that cause some command to be performed, yet the scrollbar visual design was the same as that of buttons.
That very same year, there were two or three funding rounds, according to the article, for $0.5m and $4.5m. Yet at the end of the year, the shares in the Roth were reported to be worth less than the initial $1700.

I have to assume you're just feigning naivete here.

First, officers or directors of S&P500 companies are almost definitely above the income level to open a new Roth IRA.

Second, you're really grasping at straws here trying to trace a relatively minuscule investment through mutual fund in order to defend Thiel here.

Someone is saying "Bank robbers are bad because they steal other people's money" and you're sitting over here saying "Well technically when I pick up a penny on the ground, it's not mine. So it's basically the same thing. We have to find a solution that solves both problems at the same time".

For the Pfizer mRNA vaccine here are the results from studies in Israel.

https://pharmaceutical-journal.com/article/feature/everythin...

It gives a lot of data on chances of symptoms and illness at various periods after the first and second doses from various studies, however the bottom line is that long term the national level studies show that:

“The vaccine also provided 97.2% protection against hospitalisation overall and 97.5% protection against severe and critical hospitalisation.”

These are outstanding results, among the best of any vaccine ever developed, and from studies of large a large and diverse population.

It was 100% effective is a study of 2,000 12-15 year olds. This is important because in countries like Brazil where the death rate is incredibly high, even the small fraction of victims that are children adds up to many hundreds, or even thousands of deaths.
> Yes they fought through the means of consumer choice, the least oppressive means in history. And they lost.

They lied and deliberately used biased scientific research. These execs even swore on oath IN a congressional hearing before congress that tobacco was healthy even when internal documents leaked by a whistleblower told the exact opposite. This is the new way to oppress people. Lies, deception, omission and obfuscation. It's insidious.

>Nuclear waste doesn't have fallout. Coal today is causing more radiation deaths than nuclear.

I should correct myself, Radiation. Not Fallout. Either way this is the current mantra followed by a minority of educated people who harp this endlessly. You're not wrong and you're more informed than most but you're not looking at the full picture.

There's no numbers on what this waste will do 24,000 from now. There's literally no data and no science on building structures that can encase that stuff for that long or even longer. Nobody knows. So in essence you don't know what will happen in the future. You have no clue yet you support it blindly, why?

That is my point. You don't know and you don't give a shit. The long term effects are irrelevant to you. 24,000 years in the future is not something anyone gives a shit about. Just like how the long term effects of making plastic are irrelevant to the owner of the plastic factory.

Additionally I would like to know your background. Sorry for getting personal, but background influences bias. You seem to be a guy who's super rich and an owner or shareholder of big business.
I sync my NAS to Backblaze B2 without any issues, and pricing is great.
I totally don't agree with his sentiment. And I manage 200,000 endpoints (computer and mobile)

This sentiment is a typical early 2000s mindset. It no longer works in this world where the line between business and private lives have blurred. And it wasn't just the pandemic that did that, this has been going on much longer.

Who wants to bring 2 laptops on a business trips? Or 2 phones for that matter? Computing is flexible in the age of the cloud. Mobile OSes are really good at separating personal and private data (think of Android's Work Profile and iOS's User Enrolment). Personal computers (either Mac or Windows) don't do this as well yet, but at least they're a hell of a lot more secure with everyone enforcing disk encryption now.

But we should remember that technology is there to serve us. If the tech can't deal with our increasing mix of private and business, we'll just have to make it better at that. Telling people not to do it just won't work.

I have one exception: Installing personal apps on a work computer is not really OK (unless the application has already been approved for work too). On mobile this is fine because of the more rigid separation.

PS: This is not just my opinion, it's the company's policy. We explicitly allow personal use (including apps) of mobile devices and most personal web usage on company laptops (though blocking malicious sites and stuff that's not really "business oriented" :) ). We do block some things like sideloading on mobile. Our devices are still secure because we enforce what's important (like decent passwords, full disk encryption). Our users are happier because we don't treat them like children. We're happier because we don't need to approve every taxi app anymore that a user would want to use on their work phone during a business trip. We just make sure their apps can't access the work apps. On mobile this works really well and on PC/Mac it's in the works.

It's a give and take. The early 2000's us-against-them BOFH total lockdown thing just doesn't fly anymore.

Is there research showing that public companies focusing on long term performance perform better than companies focusing on short term performance?

It is often taken as a given that this is true, despite the many very long term successful public companies.
They really should replace 401k (and 415(c)(1)(a)), 403b, 457, IRA, etc with just TSP-for-everyone. Don't make it contingent upon employer, and don't allow additional employer-sponsored tax-advantaged space.

The fact that someone working at a large tech company can put away around $70,000/yr into tax advantaged accounts is kind of insane. Not even including the crazy edge cases that come with private equity like this Thiel instance.
Google's (Youtube's specifically) automated processes have allowed the rise of extortion via their copyright systems using the threat of automatic account deletion.

Their automated processes do result in account deletions, and they intentionally build their systems so it is hard to reach humans to resolve complaints, so I don't think that comment was particularly undeserved - I read it as jokingly superlative.

There is actually something millionaire specific about what Thiel did. He was an accredited investor that was able to buy private shares that the general public cannot buy.

Yes, and detransitioners happen and should be (and are as far as I've experienced) supported.

1. Why would I trust that this will stick around if I make a business on this?

2. Why would I pay someone to "generate IDs" at $1/10k requests?

3. If the DB API was performant and supported full SQL, it looks like it would cost $business I know of two orders of magnitude more than current cloud spend to switch to it. (They would not, because of compliance.) For whom is this the right pricing model for?

I compared the pricing here to Amazon Aurora Serverless (https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/pricing/) with their example of 110 operations/second. Their cost: $186/month, yours: $28,512/month.

4. No SLAs, SLOs, SLIs, metrics, no data sovereignty or retention/deletion policy, no privacy policy, no compliance policy, no mention of encryption or details on how tokens are generated, rotated, revoked. No mention of password security in the user identity API. Why should I trust that you're not selling my data or storing it on an SD card somewhere that anyone could just grab and walk away with?
Especially since you nit only need cold storage. You also need to have a special atmosphere, not just regular air. That's not needed when you store your own apples over winter in cold storage because you don't need to keep them in saleable condition. But nobody buys apples that look like that, even if still totally edible and awesome for pie :)

Way less fresh stuff than we are used to nowadays, yes. But not too bad nutrient wise actually.

Germany being well suited to cabbage for example, making Sauerkraut both gives you lots of fibre and lots of vitamin C. It also stores so well that you can eat it well into the part of the year where you will have fresh veggies. It has lots of good bacteria that help your gut microbiome.

Carrots apparently store well in low tech ways too, like in wet sand preferably in a root cellar.

Most fruit nowadays are eaten for taste, not nutrients and/or people just live in the city so that the low tech ways just don't work any longer. Never mind not knowing about them either.

If you are looking for something else in this direction I totally don't remember the name and its probably 20 years old by now but I remember watching another show where they had a family live on an old farm like they would've more than 100 years ago (at that point). So they did make Sauerkraut for example. Multiple large crock pots full and all that. Not easy, not as nice as today. But what I've been thinking is that with just a tiny bit of modernisms but then also using this "old knowledge" we could all do way better for the environment. E.g. having sugar easily and cheaply available as well as lemons and pectin in packages and pressure bath pots is great. Makes awesome, safe to eat (botulism) jam from all this fruit.

Another great way in case you aren't doing it already: Rumpott. Big glazed clay pot that you start filling with with spirits such as rum and as things become available you put in things like strawberries, cherries, currants and/or plums. Not necessarily mainly used for preserving the fruit but awesome nonetheless around Xmas time (or any time during the cold months).
In the sense that he developed his business acumen and foresight to an exquisite degree and was then able to take well-informed risks with his own resources that in the end produced a great outcome for society (and himself).

I think the point here is to not disclose your identity online as a defense against bullshit lawsuits. Whether you agree with the approach itself is one thing, but if it works at protecting against lawsuits it'll definitely work at protecting against enforcement of this law.
Parents would say yes to Facebook because it has a reputation. If Shadybook wants you to side load then you're not doing it because you don't know what it is, you don't already have an account outside of iOS garden, and likely will never hear about this company to even install it. It only works for Facebook because they are big enough to establish the relationship outside of Apple's walled garden.

I'm not sure what security concerns Fortnite might have either. It's a billion dollar game with a solid reputation. They're not going to start ringing up your credit card with fraudulent charges, and if they did then it would make the news and tarnish that reputation.

People interact with many companies outside of the iOS ecosystem just fine.

I think that most developers use game engines, and game engines probably will implement it.
This is not aimed at you; you just happened to be the comment that crystallize this thought I’ve been having for awhile.

I think this is one of the major problems with everything nowadays. Everything is so bloated and removed from its original purpose.

If we want a space for young adults to let loose and party before having to conform to adulthood, then let’s build that separate from education so my tuition isn’t paying for the frat parties that I don’t go to.

If we want diversity and inclusion, then let that be a separate nonprofit that works with schools so that my tuition isn’t paying for my college to have more administrators than professors.

Furthermore, college sports:
“SHAPIRO: The principles that underlay the NCAA's philosophy seem like reasonable principles. Students should be amateurs. They should be college students. They should not be paid millions of dollars. But so many of the stories you tell seem like distortions of those reasonable principles, like people are just divorced from reality or out to get a student for no good reason. Did you get a sense of what is actually going on (laughter) in people's heads in all of these stories that you retell?

NOCERA: I think I do have a pretty good sense of it. Amateurism, which is the core principle of the NCAA, may have started out as a good idea, but with so much money now flowing into college sports, it's become a sham. And it's become kind of an excuse not to pay the labor force who are brining in the billions of dollars that are enriching everybody else. The NCAA itself is a kind of bureaucratic, rules-oriented organization…” (https://www.npr.org/2016/02/15/466848768/indentured-explores...)

“The solution in my opinion is to do away with college athletic scholarships and preferred admission for athletes. Let school's field their sports teams from their normal student bodies and ensure that those teams are truly amateur and the participants really are "student-athletes". Let the NBA and the NFL field their own semi-professional minor leagues like baseball does.”
(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27581613)

Admittedly, I am bitter about my college experience and probably wouldn’t have such a harsh opinion if it had been better. Like the other comments here mentioned, I found a CS degree to be a sham and I learned more and better on my own than I ever did listening to professors all of whom were worse at teaching than YouTube (especially considering that high quality channels like 3Blue1Brown exist) and some of whom can’t actually speak or write English well. A CS degree didn’t help me get a job but starting a hardware club did which is where my gripe comes from. There was never funding for clubs (that actually get students doing things they would do at their future job) or for professors to do research projects that students (like me) get to help with and build job experience. But somehow the activities and recreations always got an expansion.

What is your limit on how much money should be "sheltered" by a Roth IRA?

At the time Thiel was not an ultra-wealthy billionaire. From the article.

“I said, ‘If you really think this is going to be big, you know, you might want to consider this new Roth,’” recalled Anderson

The Roth IRA is intended to be a retirement vehicle for people to make contributions too with the intention of it not being touched till after retirement. As a perk, it is not taxed.

Maybe its not within the "spirit" of the law, but I hardly see how trying to create incredibly granular restrictions on start up founders or people that believe they have a better investing strategy is the right approach.

What about making it easier for normal people to have access to the same IPOs that Thiel had access to?

I really do wish iOS had appropriate os-sanctioned containment for work apps. Like, I’m talking a switch I throw and springboard flips over and shows me another whole set of apps with different data. Similarly, I should be able to assign a SIM to each profile. That way, whatever required MDM is isolated to that profile and doesn’t touch personal stuff, guaranteed.

My personal experience with their hiring process and the comments of others on this site who confirm my suspicions, as well as ex-employees I’ve spoken with.
Personally I like blurring the lines between work and private life. Do some personal stuff during work hours (no more messing around getting time off to go to the dentist or the bank - I just book a meeting in my calender and go). Answer a quick question while I'm on the subway. Spend an hour at night helping out a colleague in the US with an urgent problem when I have nothing better to do anyway. I'll just sleep in in the morning when things are quiet. I love this.

What matters also is that I really like my work. And it isn't forced on me or even expected in the slightest. It's nice when I can pop in when I'm off and help out. If not it's fine too. Flexibility.

For me this works. I understand it doesn't work for many others like yourself. But that doesn't mean it should be made impossible for me (like some countries do, e.g. in France forcing work email to stop after hours).
You don't have to be a billionaire to be part of the problem (though it helps).
