idk who cobra is, but why would they need financial help, did they buy in at $60k or something?
I think it all comes down to having the choice to accept increased risk or not. When some portion of the population decides relatively greater risk is worth releatively increased freedom, those around them are opted into this decision.

The converse (contrapositive?) scenario where some portion of the population elects to keep risk lower in exchange for less freedom of movement only benefits those around them.

Edit:
An analogy comes to mind at the risk of a strawman. It's a little bit like if some soldiers in a given war become more cavalier as the enemy retreats before them. They decide that - hey, War doesn't go away - and they no longer wear their helmet or refuse to stay low and use cover. If they get hit they may be the only ones who suffer, or an enemy patrol spots the entire detachment because of them and many more bite the bullet. Yes, helmets can be uncomfortable. Yes, we all want to walk where and how we wish.

Furthermore - I honestly do not feel restricted by continuing to wear a mask inside of buildings in NYC. It's barely an afterthought - I just put it on when I approach the door of a building. Yes I'm vaccinated and I'm aware that those around me likely are. I am perfectly content to only not wear a mask outside or in my own home. I don't fully comprehend the "freedom" arguments for lax mask guidelines indoors.
> I don't follow your argumentation - why would extremely high antibody titres not almost certainly result in a better immune response?

Antibody titres aren't constant. They increase when your immune system sees an antigen, and decline gradually afterward. In individuals with previous exposure to the antigen, they increase more quickly due to immune memory. This is true for any virus. Decline in circulating antibodies does not mean that your immunity has gone away.

Vaccination is, to a first approximation, injecting a large amount of antigen into someone to induce an immune response. Therefore, data that shows that previously exposed people have faster and stronger immune responses to vaccination are simply confirming what we already know about immunity. It does not mean that the vaccination made the response in exposed people stronger than it would have been otherwise.

Maybe it did, but you can't conclude it from this kind of data.
Some great minds in 18th/19th century debated all this in context of rationality. Kant, et al. Some of the discussions were in fact about the "utility" of belief.

As to "rational belief", isn't that an oxymoron? There is 'rational knowledge'. Belief is precisely regarding matters where reason remains mute. Your beliefs and your knowledge are the full content of your world reality.

> I've since reformed my ambitions, instead of looking to start a company or get a PhD in mathematics, I've decided that hard work is not the love of my life

I 100% agree. Having just finished my masters (a bit later in life, I'm in my 40s now), I have concluded that I have exactly zero interest in pursuing any further formal education. I just don't have enough f*cks left to give for that.

But I do dream of starting my own company. But maybe it will stay a dream. And even if I realize it, I'm talking about a lifestyle business and not an attempted unicorn.
I wonder if this is a signal that Musk is ready to spin off Starlink and IPO to raise the needed capital.
> Municipal broadband is a government handout. It artificially lowers prices.

prices are artificially high due to pseudo or actual monopolies in part due to existing regulation and prohibitive costs.
internet is effectively a utility anyways so cheaper is better.

- Municipal broadband expands the role of government. It's an extra program for the municipality to manage.

not necessarily a bad thing

- Expanding government programs is a tax on residents, even if they don't benefit from broadband access.

a large majority of residents use internet in most of the USA. either way, removing the right for a community to choose seems heavy handed and anti-libertarian to me

- Municipal broadband is hostile to business. Companies cannot reasonably compete with a service that the government pumps money into.

does everything have to be exploitable for profit??
Disparities in Learning Mode Access Among K–12 Students During COVID-19 Pandemic
Some so called gaming laptops don't. The Asus G14 for example was a series of extremely popular and well reviewed laptops without a front webcam. They where even quite popular with developers since they offered class leading CPU and GPU performance in a relatively lightweight package.
I have a friend who works for 2u. the bootcamps just pump out bad devs. everything is taught way to fast, everything is glossed over, they are expected to learn the majority on the own

Your first point is important. Governments have protected citizen's quality of life by restricting the number of wires going around on poles and/or digging up of the streets. This is why local governments created regulated telephone and cable monopolies in the first place. Unfortunately the regulated telephone and cable infrastructure later become much more valuable due to the emergence of broadband internet. The companies that owned this infra then loaded up on debt based on the skyrocketing value of this infrastructure and we are forced to pay for this debt.
I currently experience this. Every moment of downtime the last 4 years is plagued with these alarm bells that I'm not properly using my time. That I should be working on something productive. This even extends to avoiding home improvement projects because a more efficient usage of my time would be to continue to work on work/side software projects.
> How would you define “a job you like”

Obligatory not GP, but fee very similar. To me, “job I like” is a very difficult category for me to explain. Normally, when browsing jobs, I see something I think would be cool to work on. Most things disinterest me, so I maybe will see one of these once every few months, always woefully unqualified. There’s not really a specific domains, industry, etc. tying them together, just me thinking it sounds cool to work on.

Ask HN: Where to learn about payments infrastructure?
There's lots going on in payments sector,from traditional banks, fintech startups all the way to Blockchain on the other end of the spectrum.
What are good resource out there to learn more about it? For instance, how stripe talks to banks? How PayPal can connect to banks in many countries? How payment gateways work under the hood? What MasterCard/Visa do that others can't and etc.
What If Technology Belonged to the People? (2020)
yes, in that common sense is volatile and using basic logic in presence of unknown unknowns is a risky proposition. i don't particularly care about the paper because it doesn't apply to the variant which hasn't evolved yet.
> Given the line you drew was that there must be a fix in 90 days, if the company agrees it is a vulnerability, the logical conclusion is that the companies would end up claiming "not a vulnerability" when they mean WONTFIX.

OK, but that doesn't apply here, which is why I don't get why you're bringing up general policy issues in this specific instance. Google did acknowledge the vulnerability, as noted in the disclosure notes in the repo.

So like, let me just clearly list out some facts:

* Project 0 feels that 90 days is a good timeline for the vast majority of vulns to be patched (this is consistent with their data, and appears accurate)

* This issue was acknowledged by Google, though perhaps not explicitly as a vulnerability, all that I can see is that they ack'd it with "Good catch" - I take this as an ack of vulnerability

* This issue is now 3x the 90 day window that P0 considers to be sufficient in the vast majority of cases to fix vulnerabilities

I don't see why other information is supposed to be relevant. Yes, vendors in some hypothetical situation may feel the incentive to say "WONTFIX" - that has nothing to do with this scenario and has no bearing on the facts.

> If you think this particular issue should have been fixed within a given timeline, it should be on the merits of the issue itself.

That's not P0s opinion in the vast majority of cases - only in extreme cases, to my knowledge, do they break from their 90 day disclosure policy.

> Not just by following a "everything must be fixed in 90 days" dogma.

Dogma here is quite helpful. I see no reason to break from it in this instance.

> Seems like those would have been far more interesting discussions than a silly game of gotcha.

I'm not saying "gotcha", I'm saying that:

a) 9 months to fix this feels very high, Google should explain why it took so long to restore confidence

b) The fact that they have an internal culture of 90 days being a good time frame for patching purely makes it ironic - it is primarily the fact that I think this should have been patched much more quickly that would bother me as a customer.

> (If you believe there is no such thing as a vulnerability that cannot be fixed, or that's not worth fixing, then I don't know that we'll find common ground.)

Nope, 100% there are vulns that can't be fixed, vulns that aren't worth fixing, etc. But again, Google didn't say this was a "WONTFIX" though, and they did ack that this is a vuln. If it wasn't possible to fix it they could say so, but that isn't what they said at all, they just said they weren't prioritizing it.

If it's the case that this simply isn't patchable, they should say so. If they think this doesn't matter, why not say so? It certainly seems patchable.

> In the US there are usually limits on who can get on a pole to run cables to homes to provide cable based broadband. Utilities, cable TV companies, ...

I wonder if we'll ever see anyone trying to technically sidestep this requirement. "We're a TV company, you can go to this url to see our 'clear sky 24/7' channel. Also we provide internet access."

I think this is a great idea. I can see the DSL being very useful for situations where you want to think about hypotheticals. My main piece of feedback is that you should consider supporting the ability to feed in your existing k8s manifests as input to this tool instead in addition to the DSL. I think that would make this tool very appealing and very easy to onboard users with existing clusters who are looking to reduce their costs.

> I do think that it suggests that the current CDC guidance (of recommending 2 doses even for those previously infected) might be overkill and that it would be worth further study of whether 1 dose (or even 0 doses) would be sufficient (including against variants) for those previously infected.

We agree on this.

> I don't know of any study of the Delta variant (or other recent variants) comparing immunity acquired from infection versus immunity conferred by vaccination -- AFAIK, it's still unknown how these compare and whether a vaccination might provide additional immunity against variants.

I'm not aware of any study of this, either. So far, everyone is focusing on the vaccines.
Stainless reinforcement is definitely not guaranteed to last 1000 years. Most grades of stainless are susceptible to stress corrosion cracking in any environment containing chlorides (even at relatively low levels), which is pretty much any bridge, industrial, or habitated structure - everything from road salt, to bleach, to chlorinated tap water can be a problem over a long enough period of time.

This has been a big issue with stainless steel climbing anchors and hangars, as it leads to sudden catastrophic failure with little warning, as you don’t get rust like normal steel. Some areas near the ocean have had failures in as little as 5 years - faster than if they’d used normal steel.
In an air conditioned house, I do not see the purpose of 9ft and 10ft ceilings other than vanity. It just results in more cost to condition air that is above your head.

I would rather spend less on my utility bills, and conserve the energy.

Generally agree, but have fun finding a place to live though, it seems around me even small landlords seem to want credit checks.
All those people still deserve healthcare. Just about every other developed nation has no problem supporting everyone, so I don't see why things should be so different for us. Treatment of others shouldn't be determined by your personal morals. What if that extended to everything else that is socialized in our system?
Were you seeing a specialist of some sort? For comparison I’m in the states and a wellness visit is -mandated- to be free per year and my primary care provider charges $60 for a 30 minute video call outside of that. I use a high deductible plan so this was not my copay or anything it was the full cost after insurance negotiated rates.
Seems like the simple solution is to require that all infrastructure be open. Anyone can lease, for a reasonable cost (margins set by regulation), the wires that any other entity has laid. This way, there is still incentive to lay and upgrade infrastructure but you don't get to gouge consumers by being the only game in town

Their are a lot of bad ways to run your own hardware. Limiting your infra to EC2 for burst capacity provides an easy escape hatch if you need. However i have never run into the issue of not calculating CPU capacity properly and also would never use VM ware that sounds like IT is running your DC. I could see this being the case for some tiny startup who just owns a small amount of rack space though.

Of course you can pay the cloud providers to deal with your companies bad planning. Thats what most do.

I also would never advocate for DC for everything. As a startup it likely makes no sense to run your own hardware and also likely doesnt make sense to run k8s also however one of those is completely acceptable. Once you get to more predictable growth owning your own hardware starts to look more attractive but most don’t know how to calculate it properly and finance likes to make it merky with capex and opex buckets.

Workplace is awful place to get involved into any of it. I understand when your first job is in this crappy call centre, where everyone is the same age and the only escape from the hellish routine is flirting and dating.

Do you really claim that he sat on his ass for two hours and waited for the next delivery?
I understand your feelings, but I disagree. The first time I stood in front of a classroom (~30 years ago) I was visibly shaking from nervousness. Over the years I've learned that everyone is human, makes mistakes, and sometimes their minds just go blank. Nowadays the only time I get anxiety over a presentation is when I'm not prepared. I think of public speaking not so much as a performance, but as an opportunity to share one or two simple ideas with the audience. Some may receive it well, and some not, but that's true with most interactions. Most nice people won't fault you for trying to be helpful.

Oh, and by the way, I'm not a sociopath :)

Hard agree on this.

People lie all the time and in the direction that can make them virtuous and a bit contrarian. How come that they all love their wife and family is important thing they have (although work is important along with their sacred responsibility of producing jobs and wealth) and then we find out they either treat their partners as inferiors in the relationship, have affairs, have been living in separate houses for years if not decades?
To me it is all fine since except in case of abuse, people can all choose how to live our life as they please. But isn't all of that taking advantage of credulous people, like entrepreneurial wannabes when the gospel is not "love your kids", but "work hard"?

Looking back I worked quite hard, as I see it, or very hard, as others might see it, at various stages of my life, but I would not write a propagandistic essay about "working hard". And you know why? Because I see life as full of ambiguities, because I have nothing to sell and I have not a public persona that I am trying to build, defend or that I use to generate views.

When I hear or read "work hard", "hard work", "work ethic", "never give up" and similar memorabilia, I immediately judge the speaker and writer negatively. Maybe it is just me, but I don't like to be sold personas.

Does StarLink make any financial sense of it is not vertically integrated with SpaceX?
I've used Zerotier for several years now, and it does feel that the stability on mobile has improved in the past couple of months.
Ok, I think a few points of clarification are needed since this article's choice of quotes and framing is strange.

1) The title implies outside funding is needed, but this isn't true. SpaceX estimates it will require $5-10B of internal funding to reach its targets. This should surprise no one considering the scope of what they are building.

2) "Starlink would need a few million subscribers paying about $99 a month each to recoup a $5 billion investment in a year’s time, said analyst Tim Farrar, president of TMF Associates." Except that there's no explanation of why they need to recoup investment costs in a single year. You don't build a factory and then expect the capital expenditure to be recouped in the first year of ops, so why would a satellite network be different...

3) “It is not implausible to get this number (a few million) to make the system not to go bankrupt. But this is not enough to justify the valuation of SpaceX,” except that SpaceX isn't a satellite internet company, it's a space launch company that is also building a satellite internet network. Its valuation is based on being far and away the launch leader on every metric that matters.
