> Has anything else we've ever done in all of history come close to the positive humanitarian impact that the development of vaccines has? Aside, perhaps, from the development of antibiotics or sanitation or irrigation?

> Being able to vaccinate ourselves has to be one of the major legs up we've developed as a species in general. And people are choosing to discard it. I find it deeply frustrating.

I think along similar lines and I share your frustration.

Other creatures advantage themselves through brute strength, or flight, or some other physical characteristics. But Man is special: Man's advantage is his brain. Our unique ability to think; to reason; to read, write, and remember; to explore the rules of the universe gives us the prerogative to understand and alter our environment.

All of those achievements you mention are expressions of Man's ability to apply his intellect to alter his condition in his environment. Here, with these vaccines, we have a nearly pure example of the fundamental advantage we humans have against a new unthinking, uncaring, endemic adversary of all humanity.

We have done the hard work. We have used our advantage, endowed by our Creator, to build the weapons that will defeat this new enemy. Now our biggest obstacle to final victory is not the virus itself--it's other humans.

It's deeply, deeply frustrating.
Agreed on all counts. I make just a touch under 150 and I can afford the taxes. I'd happily pay more if that meant offering better healthcare and education options for everyone.

Take half the DoD budget, add in medicare and medicaid outlays, and throw on what most of us pay for insurance already, and you're most of the way to paying for a decent health care system. It's criminal that Americans in 2021 could die from diabetes complications due to lack of affordable insulin.

Investment bankers are not completely objective commentators. It's their interest to keep inflation down. (I'm not talking about asset prices but core inflation). If you want to see what markets really think, look at daily Treasury Real Yield Curve Rates https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/i...
Real yields are negative.

ps. Fed changed their inflation targeting. The target is still 2% core PCE but now it's average targeting. They will allow inflation go above 2% and start to act only after the average inflation reaches 2% (over some unspecified timeline).

I believe Fed will have real fight to keep the inflation not going below 2% for the reasons Hartnett probably knows but don't wan to say.
I agree - they've been really strict about this too, and have even talked about reducing this window. To go 3x over the window is a bad look.
No, programmers won't be replaced, we'll just add this to our toolbox. Every time our productivity increased we found new ways to spend it. There's no limit to our wants.
The flu shot that's available each year doesn't undergo long term trials - it actually usually goes through about nine months to a year of trials due to predictions on what the flu outbreak will look like - but even then the substance is a reconfiguration of technology with new details being integrated.

In some areas of medicine we can afford to move slowly and we absolutely should - but when it comes to the flu we don't have that luxury.
Thanks, he doesn’t directly address this new study. And uses soft, non-definitive language that can be walked back if needed. Not saying I don’t appreciate you providing the source, but as far as what he says vs what you said he said… it’s a little different.

I’d also like to add, I don’t think many ppl are thinking they’d rather get the disease vs the vaccine, rather, if they already got the disease, is there a real benefit vs the risks of the vaccine (eg the heart stuff we’re seeing now). Personally I was careful and never got sick, so I got the vaxx ASAP, but I do think it’s a fair and legitimate concern.

> Traditional vaccines have also been "unreasonably effective"

AFAIK not really. I know just about Sinovac and that was significantly worse efficacy than other vaccines. Note that adonovirusvector based vaccines like AstraZeneca one are not 'traditional vaccines' but also rather new tech.
> That said, I am also shocked by how many full time developers don't take the time to understand their own code. Let alone the libraries they use.

Me too, then I understood that code and programming is commoditized. As long as it works and looks pretty on the outside and it can be sold, it's fair game.

"There'll be bugs anyway, we can solve these problems somehow" they probably think.

Heck even containers and K8S is promoted with "Developers are unreliable in documenting what they've done. Let's make things immutable so, they can't monkey around on running systems, and make undocumented changes" motto.

I still run perf on my code and look for IPC and cache trashing ratio numbers and try to optimize things, thinking "How can I make this more efficient so it can run faster on this". I don't regret that.

It's normal to have anxiety about public speaking. It's also within reach of most to overcome it. I think taking meds for it is not a good practice at all.

It's important to distinguish the fear you may have of speaking in front of people from the fear you may have of presenting incorrect material. If you're giving an instructional speech about a practice/process that's well known with zero controversy, and which you are very familiar with, do you still have anxiety?

That's a different breed of anxiety than when you are postulating in front of a crowd of peers about fringe techniques that you may harbor doubts about yourself (a new way to do a process, or a change to the accepted standard, or a new interpretation of history, etc).

It's important to distinguish what's causing the anxiety because the fix is different for these two issues. For the latter, it's building confidence in your own preparation and learning. Do you know what you're talking about? Could you put it on paper and publish it and not look like a jackass? If so, carry on.

For the former - like you just get anxiety from talking in front of people even about material that is uncontroversial - the key is kind of a mind trick on yourself. For me, I try to find some aspect of the topic that I really love and enjoy, and am fascinated by. If I can do that, my mind is focused on giving and sharing that fascination, and all anxiety goes away.

That said, I started speaking publicly in high school as part of Academic Decathlon - speech competitions and the like. I remember being anxious about doing that in the same way I would be anxious about a school musical. As a kid, overcoming that and just doing it is the first step to learning how to enjoy it.

I highly recommend that parents expose their kids to this early - school plays, speech competitions - if they have the opportunity to do so. With most skills in life, exposure to it as a kid helps greatly.

As an adult, I look back on those younger days about stressing over a two-minute speech with some amusement. Now I have zero problem talking for 40+ minutes. It's not something I every worked up to like reps of an exercise, it's just the relatively simple trick of falling in love with subject matter and having confidence that you know the material and have seen a thing or two that gives you some authority (road mileage) on the topic. Probably also advantageous as an adult to recognize that EVERYBODY out there in the world is fundamentally a hack in life, just trying to get by day-by-day, the same as you, wanting to understand things and for people to treat them with dignity.

Speaking is serving - think of it that way and (for me at least) anxiety goes away.
Unfortunately AWS is the new oracle. No one ever gets in trouble for picking it and its a great way to make it look like you as a high up exec provide value. Look how fast we are iterating now with my decision. It almost always ends in a mess of unmaintainable unthought out services that someone else has to come and clean up or move to the next proprietary service.

The last 5 years for me has been soul crushing as someone who actually enjoys managing datacenters. We have seen time and time again having your own DC leads to much better visibility and control on spending as well as lower cost. Not to mention the huge advantage when negotiating with cloud vendors if you are a mid size or up company.

So time and time again i have had to transition out of environments you can reason about into AWS and become a glorified support engineer but i guess thats what companies need now days. Someone who will read docs the other engineers dont want to and troubleshoot all the issues because AWS is so easy.

Im glad I got to learn how the “cloud” works though as i likely never would have been drawn to infra and programming in this day and age.
"I’ve reached the point in my life where I’m lucky enough to be able to avoid things that make me miserable"

I'm there. I've reached a point in my evolution as a programmer that I have ways I like to do things. Ways that work for me. Unfortunately they are not popular. But I'm tired of working on stuff the way others want it done. I'm teetering on the brink of either early retirement or contract work with a strict "my way or the highway" approach. We'll see what happens.

I am an unusual case: I am LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults), sometime called Type 1.5. I am autoimmune (and therefore insulin dependent) but I didn't become symptomatic until my early 40s. Also, my weight hovers around 160 lbs, so my comments do not apply to type 2 diabetes patients who are significantly overweight.

I use Lantus as my long acting insulin, and Humalog as my fast acting insulin. I receive a shipment of three 10ml vials of each every 3 months (so I use 1 a month). I use 30 units of Lantus a day, and a variable number of units of Humalog, averaging 25 units a day. Thus, 1 vial of Lantus lasts me slightly over 30 days, which is how long you should use a vial of insulin before replacing it.

Figuring out how many units of insulin to take can be difficult. This year I got a Freestyle Libre 2 glucose monitor which has alarms which will alert me if my glucose goes above or below preset limits. Fortunately, I am sensitive to hypoglycemia; sensitive enough that I will wake up if I go low while I am sleeping, but I can still get as low as a glucose reading of 40 point before I feel the effects, which upsets me and freaks out my wife. The alarm is set for 80 points, so I can take some carbs before I get seriously hypoglycemic.

I adjust my Humalog injections based on my glucose readings and my carb intake using a formula I have adjusted over long experience. I may take as little as 1 unit (if I just need to bring my glucose reading down) or as much as 12 units with a meal, but most of the time I take about 8 units with a meal.
Millions skipped church during pandemic. Will they return?
Oh this would screw with me so badly.

A lot of the time, I'm thinking pretty deeply about the code I'm writing, and as I'm writing code I'll also be thinking about how it applies in context.

Having some external agent inject new code into my editor would shatter my thought flow, since I'd then have to grok whatever it just spit out instead of continuing on with whatever thought I was pursuing at the time.

Probably better to make your case via the typical salary negotiation methods, discussing what you did, etc.

> ...in a space where customers options are to pay whatever is charged or simply die

Look...I agree with the majority of your point, the majority of healthcare doesn't deal with such an obvious binary...and we aren't going to make progress on this issue unless we're willing to also have the conversation about healthcare within your control - e.g. individual responsibility for your healthcare.

A number of close family members are doctors / surgeons of various kinds, so I've heard so many issues & complaints about the system. And while I would happily pay taxes to fix healthcare issues that are preventative (e.g. cancer screenings,) educational (e.g. nutrition,) and overall unpredictable (e.g. surprise brain aneurysms or the like,) I have no desire in paying for:

- Someone who drank so much and annihilated their liver, requiring significant & expensive surgery

- Someone who couldn't stop eating at McDonald's and hasn't touched a vegetable in a decade now wants lifetime insulin and kidney transplant

- A hypochondriac who wants to see their doctor for every scratch, off-color skin mark, etc.

- Someone voluntarily jumping off planes, doing dangerous sports, etc. without insurance, and expecting someone else will foot the bill

- Someone who wants every and any blood test because they coughed once

etc. etc. etc.

Again...overall I agree with a more central payer system, but you won't get the conversation started with all the groups involved unless you acknowledge that there's some element of individual responsibility that you need to control for as well.
> You can't get rid of disinformation especially if it's a gray area where "both" versions are somewhat correct. Sometimes the disinformation is just an incomplete picture or something out of context.

Absolutely. Disinformation often uses true facts to paint a false narrative. (By cherry-picking the facts that are considered, and only pointing out the ones that fit the narrative. And if you point out the other facts, the ones that don't support the narrative, then you get accused of denying the data that does support the narrative, even if what you're actually doing is pointing out that all the data, when considered together, does not support the narrative.)

the size of the fee is a function of 1) the amount of data you wish to store and 2) the estimated cost of storing the weave between the current time and the end of the storage period ("forever" is actually assumed to be about 200 years for these purposes).

If you were to store 100 TB on the weave tomorrow (the weave is currently 10TB), the block reward would remain the same, but the endowment payout would trigger much sooner.

The endowment fees are sized with the assumption that the endowment will have to pay out immediately and until the end of the 200 year period.

Reminded me of my tourist trip to Las Vegas. At some point we got on a bus to travel from one hotel to other.

I asked the driver if that bus was the free one (meaning, if that was the bus in which I didn't have to pay). The driver replied a bit angry that the bus trip was not free, it was complimentary.
The problem I have with this take is that you're looking at 2008 as a discrete event with a discrete recovery. Look at a chart of the national debt (which is what we have to monetize, which is the whole reason for inflation) and you'll see that we weren't able to reduce debt meaningfully at any point over the past 15 years.

If this is still the same event then all those people still could be right.

And really is Viaweb that big of a deal? He got rich by selling .com in the .com bubble to another .com company. That wasn't so hard at the time. He wrote a good book on Lisp, and used his riches to invest and get richer. None of this seems particularly extraordinary. Does he somehow imagine Dropbox or Viaweb have transformed human experience? He writes a good essay, but he seems overly impressed by his own success.
