Reddit's movement is organic. It may be silly, it may be misguided, it may be doing more harm than good, but people are uniting against institutions that have been taking advantage of little guys. If you are disgusted by the predatory nature of the financial system that monetizes information asymmetry, why not join the movement and help leveling the playing field?

There is strength in numbers.
When Crypto mining leads to shortages of computer chips and electricity, and widespread ransomware, it is most definitely not 'opt-in'.

it makes sense though, can poorer people afford faster speeds?
There are differences. Linguistics is more "descriptive" than "prescriptive", meaning that "it seeks to describe reality" of what people say - if we actually pronounce a word one way and are correctly understood, then that is a valid way that the word is pronounced, whatever it is.

In chemistry, validity is not so subjective. it seeks to describe reality by measuring presence of clearly definable chemicals. The question of "what percentage of the sugar in this food item has been converted via caramelisation (or the Maillard reaction)" is not something that we can choose different but equally correct measurements of.
Tragedy of the Commons is sensible. Businesses exist to maximize their own existence. Must suck to be one of those tiny firms lol
> they have one of the best medical systems in the world.

This feels like a specific claim being made.

For everyone downvoting me, just want you to know that yellow is one of the worst colors in the world.
I've always been a fan of Mumble (and murmur server) and its high quality, open source software.

I made https://guildbit.com years ago for gamers that want to just quickly spin up a free temporary server with their friends. I still operate it today since there's still a few users out there. I realize most are using Discord now.

I still think it would be great if someone were to create an open source Discord clone using Mumble/murmur as a backend. I'm sure it's possible, but not too sure if there's still a sizable audience willing to use Mumble over Discord these days.
> On the one hand, I hate that I’m being manipulated by artificial constructs.

If you care mainly about things that wouldn't matter (or even make sense) if you were the only human, that ship had sailed. Might as well use it consciously.
The problem in US with cable isnt download speeds, it is that the major providers limit uploads rather drasticaly (they never talk about how much upload they can give and talk about "gig" internet). I've had a 300/12 Mbps connections, that's pretty insane...
Maybe it is not that hard to run a basic medical system if some leadership, administrative proves, and money put together?
How much data (read: jabs) is necessary to evaluate the ability to prevent hospitalizations when even without the jab only a small percentage of cases lead to hospitalization? How much care is given to ensure the jab group's demographics reflect the "control" (i.e., the broader population).

For example, ppl getting chemo aren't given the jab, are they? Yet they are counted if they get the virus, end up in hospital, etc. The point being, extrene Covid preys on the (immune) weak. Yet the jabs aren't tested on ppl who profile as such. How is that accounted for in evaluating a vaccine?

a similar store near me replaced their 2 checkouts with 5 self checkouts, and has one person nearby to help/monitor.
> If you intend by working 32 hours instead of 40 hours to deliver only 80% value to your org, you would be at a disadvantage.

Well you would be delivering 100% of the possible value you could in 80% of the time. The same as someone who works 6 days a week would have a comparably higher output than their peers working 5 days. Are the employees who work 48 or more hours a week being compared to those who work 40 hours as well?
I'm pretty sure computer ads have always been telemetry.

you can use multi sig wallets. Which are synonymous to Shamir’s Secret Sharing Algo; tldr you can generate say 5 keys and you need 3 of the 5 to unlock.

I think the correct response to the question is 'till they are done'. I hate it when recipes have timing directions like this, as everyone's equipment is so very different. If an onion is larger, it'll take more time to boil off the liquids, if the pan is larger, it will take longer to heat, etc etc.

It would be more useful for people to think of cooking as building a catalog of techniques they have mastered, then to apply these in different combinations to different ingredients to achieve the various dishes they want to make.

On the subject at hand, cooking onions more or less produces such a variety of tastes and textures, it really is a very important part of cooking many dishes.
The US is incapable of making medications accessible to its own population. And not even willing to provide broad health insurance. That's not a country with a working or high quality medical system.

Does the chart you link say anything about generic versions?
journalctl is required I believe, but you can turn it into a dumb pipe straight to syslog.
Guantanamo is a little different: That's Cuban territory that the US refuses to return. Any human rights violations that happen there are on the US.

But otherwise, yes, Cuba is a human rights disaster in it's own right.

It says “we have some information that is not worth publishing.” Your filigree about relative hurdle for publication is your invention entirely.

Guess what? I have some information that is not worth publishing too. I bet you do too. So what would you propose the action be there?
HN at its best... this is known for a very long time. I don't know how much GDP budget they put into medical system, or what other miracle they managed to perform long term, but its true.

Of course its relative - is it better than Switzerland? Of course not, but comparing to peers in 3rd world, they are absolutely stellar. Cheap/free advanced medicine and care, tons of foreign missions around the world.

I recall from cold war, Cuban medical scientists and doctors were regarded as top notch in eastern bloc and many exchange missions were done to get some of that to other parts of the world. From Cuban perspective, cold war didn't end with fall of USSR
I believe one does not rely on international trade during a global pandemic.
> the "[python] will never die"-crowd finally accepted they where not going to win

Why are you talking in the past tense? We have done no such thing. Death to python 3; long live python.
You know there are wildly worse regimes than Israel right? Why Israel, and not any of the oppressive sub-Saharan African governments? Why not Myanmar? Why not China, embarking on a literal genocide?

I think the thing to learn from the Cuba experience is that embargos are usually ineffective mechanisms for enacting regime change, because it just reinforces the "us vs them" mindset. If there truly was a concerted international embargo of Israel, Netanyahu would be in power another 30 years.
Pretty good for a brutal police state?
I think by itself it is going to be a lot like Windows 10 IoT Core but without a graphical shell at all. you can run graphical UWP applications and you won't be able to switch between them unless you write some task switching stuff into your UWP apps. kind of like a kiosk built on CoreOS.
They helped South Africa, not the South African government, which was somewhat famously hostile to the majority of South Africans.
> it also comes as Borris has just lost a Tory safe seat, his philandering and "hopeless" health secretary has just been forced to resign

The UK population as a whole seem ok with how the COVID response has been managed (see below link).

I know that an opinion on the UK COVID response doesn’t necessarily have to match an opinion on the competency of the health secretary, and even that both can be independently rubbish.

The below link does appear to show a disconnect between what was achieved and what people think was achieved.

There seems a whiff of nationalistic exceptionalism about it. If the response was good, it would be weird to sack the architect.

Well, yes. Because that’s going to be obfuscated, as it is currently done for things that are not as well protected. Look at standard honey for example. In store I can find:
- bottled in the EU (without any other information)
- assembled in the EU (from EU and non-EU honeys)
- from the EU (whatever that means; the EU is a big place)
- “made in xx” (where xx is a small place in a given EU country; the honey itself comes from somewhere else)
- no information whatsoever, but with a charming “a EU family company” (actually owned by a multinational).

We know producers are playing fast and loose with labelling. The way to avoid this is regulation, which PGIs are.
Cuba legitimately has one of the best medical education systems in the world. It's one of the regime's successes.

On the other hand, many of these doctors are sent to work in Cuba's allies, where most of their pay goes to the Cuban government. At home, their medical system goes through some pretty rough patches from time to time, and you have people who need to turn to the black market to buy the iodine necessary for disinfection of their own surgeries.
I also don't see how this is relevant because you still owe taxes even if you use cryptocurrencies for payments.

Most of the reports I've read about Cuba's healthcare metrics are heavily reliant on trusting data released by the Cuban government (particularly around life expectancy and infant mortality), not subject to independent audit. Haven't looked closely at the sources in your citation, though.
You can't force peers to install software and take the time to train themselves on the new software like you can with an employee.
This is very likely location and industry dependent.

FWIW I'm mid forties, still love being 'hands on' with tech, and am based in the UK. I know a load of folks my age and above and never heard of any age-related rejections.

Experience on the contrary seems to be welcomed.

YMMV.
Before all this fawning over Cuba’s health care system, consider that they use their physicians abroad as revenue streams and propaganda to show the world how high their physicians per capita is. Those Cuban physicians are heavily restricted in what they are allowed to do [0]. Unless you have lived under a dictatorship as I did, you naively assume honesty and integrity from Cuba’s version of their “great” health care system. Ask the many Cubans in exile, how often they have to send life saving medication to their families on the island.

It is worth noting as well; that other countries in the world have socialised medicine alongside freedom of speech and a free democratic government.
This is a really good description of a natural tension any engineering team has to deal with. I specially liked the framing of pair programming as a powerful hybrid.

A challenge the OP doesn't touch on is the need for individual focus _during_ coordination events. For example, someone is presenting their design ideas to an audience who's seeing them for the first time. In order for the coordination to be productive, the audience needs to be good at focusing in realtime to grok the ideas presented to them. It'd be unfortunate to rely on your team's ability to pull off a burst of focus on demand. Some can do this well, some can't, and you only water down your coordination if you rely on it too much.

I've read about and quite like writing-heavy workflows, e.g. presenter writes and shares a 4-6 pager, or meeting starts with people silently reading a memo. The async-ness and the reliance on written word pulls a lot of weight when there's too much depth/breadth involved; the kind of thing that happens a handful of times a quarter.

But this is hard to pull off consistently every week for small iterations that nonetheless need coordination on cognitively demanding topics.

How do folks deal with this?
Don't forget the biggest selling point..you could become some kid's unsung hero by making a game that he plays all the time.
Since idiomatic PHP is effectively pseudo-Java it has the same incidental complexity as Java.
How well does the Google SRE book apply to environments at smaller scale?
I tend to feel this is off topic for the conversation. The OP discussed the embargo on Cuba which relates to the article, but this comment really focuses on Israel that is irrelevant to the vaccine conversation.
My understanding is that they are trying to make planes that are too big to actually fly without continual software correction

Can they just not do that?
You do most definitely not have a single piece of data that tells you that it appears "several miles away". It does not. It appears a few tens of meters away, at the very most.
I heard it's mid-tier, but nowhere near "the best". For example, developing countries would appreciate it if Cuban doctors came to volunteer, but they aren't at the standard of US doctors.

Additionally, where is Cuba on this chart? Does a new, poorly performing pill (eg: a failed heart drug resubmitted to the FDA as an ED pill) counts as a newly discovered medication?

Is this thinking _really_ the source of all the problems?

I have to admit I expected to see something idiotic when I clicked through to the link! Like, "pshah, pure speculation!" but instead I am looking at a chart that any broker worth their salt, even a conservative one, might green-light for a client right now, today. So I'm sharing what I'm seeing and no, this doesn't perfectly fit a speculation-cabal mindset.

IOW: This is clearly a price level where your non-cabal types will happily buy in and take a reasonable profit later.

For all we know, the really evil ones could have brought it down to this level. So are we going to pin the blame on those millions of people attempting to prepare for a retirement?

And there's nothing wrong with sharing another perspective, is there, really?

Nobody's even proven, or shown how speculation is the source of the problem. It's just expected that we simply believe that? Speculation could be a side effect for all we really know.

I've been trading technicals for years, and a huge lesson you learn is that everybody has a "why", and everybody has a story, but it always comes late. You then turn around and see the same patterns in nature and start to realize: "Why" can be a terribly unhelpful and misleading direction to take your solutions-oriented mindset.

If you want to cut down on speculation, IMO you need to look into things critically, deeply, and everybody's "why" ought to be first. Was it _really_ speculation? Or are speculators just watching natural patterns unfold and joining the ride?

Metaphorically: Even if it feels amazing to pin the blame on the fox who got into the hen house, do you want to go after every fox in the forest, or maybe understand the fox better--draw the foxes around to another location, or design a hen house with doors on it?

I visited the link with an open mind. But I have experience with charts like that and I can tell you, people will buy here, and the price will very likely go up again. I just think that we can do better, creatively if we want to "solve" the greater lumber issue.
Is that your final cost or do you have taxes, ONT rental and so on?

There are a lot of (high level) resources online, but on a practical level you will have to deal with local permitting and right of way issues, so there really can’t be an ultimate mater plan.

Interestingly interconnection, or more precisely Internet capacity, isn’t really an issue. If you have enough subscribers, it is fairly straightforward to purchase wholesale bandwidth from one of the many commercial providers.
Sure, but that's entirely the problem those centralized logging services were made to solve. You make it really easy for everyone in the company to put their logs in the right place.
What makes you so sure that the value of experience tapers off? In most other industries I'm aware of, someone with 30 years' experience is absolutely better equipped than someone with 15, and absolutely gets paid more. Why would programming be different?

Perhaps a false equivalency, but how many epidemiologists were on Twitter and elsewhere in 2020 strongly contesting the lab leak theory?
Apartment buildings are expensive to build too! Searching a little it looks like condo construction is more expensive per square foot than houses. Maybe a condo is more liveable at a smaller size, but just from the perspective of construction costs it's not a big win.

FWIW, substitutability is a hard problem with algorithmic pricing, even for relatively stable inventory categories like big box construction retail.

I'd guess (with some insider knowledge) that (1) there wasn't any prebuilt link to adjust substitute pricing & (2) Depot didn't care enough to adjust pricing.

Both Depot and Lowes are in it for volume and long-term, which is why they don't do things like spike generator prices after hurricanes.

I just didn't see his name in the "people" section. Didn't know if he was doing other things these days.
I think there's also the risk of talking yourself into bad decisions with data as a justification. For instance, if you have a KPI to increase X, and making your UI harder to understand confuses users into doing X more often, from a data-driven perspective you've done the right thing, but you've made the product worse.
Absolute risk will ebb and flow with the abundance of the virus in a population, so it wouldn’t be useful as a comparison or as a predictor for the future since every trial will be different.
1. Correct my posture while not outside. For the most parts of my life, I had really bad posture. I would study on bed, code ln bed, and watch movies on bed. Half lying, fully lying, straining my whole upper body. Since two years, I always sit on chairs. I only sleep on bed, and that's it.

2. I used to brush my teeth once a day. Now I brush my teeth after every meal.

3. Exercising everyday. I now spend anywhere between 10 minutes to 90 every day for exercising.

4. Social media. I was a victim of doomscroll. And I identified that it was more of a symptom than a cause, but it is also a cause in itself. If you want to avoid doing something, if you go for a walk, or read something, sooner or later you'd get back to it. Here's where peer-to-peer media is exceptional. There is no end of content. And procrastination takes up most of your day. I limited social media use to 30 inutes a day. The same time everyday. I don't pull up my phone even wjen standing in queue, or while cooking. Much better time management and concentration.

5. For five hours or so have been drinking water immediately after I wake up.

6. Made myself able to think objectively, see nuance and be empathetic. I was very jidgemental before.

Point 4 credit goes to Cal Newport. He is the only self-help writer I can marginally tolerate. I did not read Atomic Habits or Power of Habits.

I realized that one of the best ways to form new habits ws was to hook new habits to already existing habits. This is nowadays called "habit association".

Make no mistake that I am only partially successful. I have failed in forming a lot of habits. I sm only sharing the good parts.

While this is true, some devs in the indie community develop on linux[1] so support is there by default. It's also a small(hopefully growing) niche to target Linux as a platform. SteamOS is also a thing, albeit without a solid market afaik.

If anything international trade dependency robbed Canada and many other nations of the ability to develop a vaccine and vaccinate their population in a timely manner.

Only those nations with capable vaccine development and manufacturing capabilities were able to first or second in line to vaccinate their population.
