I'm definitely not an expert but I've notice that people I've met that are depressed, seems to me, are depressed because their way of life does not meet the expectations they or the people they admire expect from their lives.

One person I have in mind is constantly complaining about how poor they are. Yet they live a lower middle class life. They can get any of the necessities of life with out any trouble.

Another one I know talks about how they had a terrible childhood. They were raise by their grandparents in a strict but loving household. The parents were a minor part of their lives.

I'm not in their shoes so I don't know what they feel but I wonder if what they feel is more related to the fact that they don't have the perfect lives as projected on popular entertainment. Lives where every one lives like royalty and every one has the perfect family with little effort.

They look at the best that's possible and when their real lives fail to meet that then they are depressed since their lives can never be happy with what they have or can attain.

I wonder if a lot of depression is based on comparisons to a fictional life that can never be attained yet we see it constantly in popular entertainment.

I've read that people that consume a lot of social media are more depressed than those that don't so that gives my idea a little bit or credibility.

I don't think it's a first world problem but some of it is a modern life problem where satisfaction is no longer based on reality but on a perfect world that few people can come close to getting.

I also believe the there are people that definitely have mental issues that are base on their mental chemistry and need to be helped medically.

So like many things there is no one answer.
Tens of thousands were in this trial. How many hundreds of thousands of people should be sufficient to get it out the door?
It was an asshole thing to say, but I don't think someone being an asshole means that that moment defines their "true character"

I'm curious what your knowledge or thoughts on potential non-vaccine treatments are like Ivernectin - and what you think of the response to them?

Edit: ridiculous that HN community downvotes attempts to have conversation; you're part of the problem.
A dose of Moderna has significantly more genetic material than a Pfizer one to begin with.
It's only after the rescue that they can give retrospectives on exactly how difficult things were at the time. My utmost respect goes out to each of these heroes for doing what needed to be done even at the possible cost of their own lives.
Some ripe both-sides-ism in this one. The article equates not defending certain kinds of speech, on the part of the ACLU, with actively attacking other kinds of speech by legislative Republicans.

I feel like the article didn't really address the "why" question of the headline.
Gwynne Shotwell deserves far more of the credit for SpaceX than Musk does.
The restrictions were in the upper part. The article explains the boys walked in through a much larger path underneath.
Once manufacturing ramped I don’t think vaccine quantities are an issue.

Transport, preparation and process are very operationally challenging.
This is absolutely compatible with everything described in the article. A lower-productivity project is a large project, a larger project allows larger amounts of money to be skimmed.

Plus elaborate custom specifications for projects also make it hard to keep track of costs and bureaucrats wind-up fond of these things. Etc.
Not confusing at all...
Vernon Unsworth. He sued Musk for libel in the United States and lost. Musk not only called him "pedo guy" on Twitter, but implied he had married a child bride, when he hadn't, and later hired a private investigator to dry to dig up dirt on Unsworth, which found nothing. Musk also sent this letter to Buzzfeed where he doubled down. He thought it was off the record, and says some terrible things: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/elon-musk-thai-...

It came out later that the private investigator was scamming Elon Musk, and lied to him about finding damaging information. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/oct/08/elon-musk...

Bizarrely, Unsworth's lawyer was L Lin Wood, famous for later apparently having a mental breakdown and supporting conspiracy theories accusing chief justice John Roberts of pedophilia and murder, and being asked to undergo a mental examination by the state bar of Georgia.

L Lin Wood's handling of the Unsworth trial was widely panned as incompetent. Unsworth is clearly a hero, and Musk inserting himself into that situation and permanently tainting Unsworth's name was unconscionable.

If you have a bunch of old USB A charger chances are you also have a suitable cable. Really it makes less sense giving people yet another USB A cable, considering the Mac lineup is now all USB C and so you don’t have to buy a cable to charge from/connect to your Mac.
That seems a bit snarky to me?

> I guess the answer is all the machinery we employ for larger buildings, but there's no real equivalent for the individual suburban home which still involves most of the manual labor.

Suburban housing is very easy to build. Building 1 storey houses is not a challenge anywhere in the world, and it is possible to build it super cheap even without any capital equipment.

Steel housing is a prime example that even a double digit percentage cost advantage, with it being a very straightforward, and overwhelmingly superior, replacement for wooden framing, doesn't seem to been enough to drive new technology adoption in USA.
Musk is still a dick for the comment. He was butt hurt, because his stoner idea of a tiny submarine was met with the "umm, WTF" that it should by actual people saving the kids lives.
Personally I have a decade of travel in Google Maps timeline, hundreds of cities, dozens of countries. I use that and exif data in photos as a way to self document my life and look back on what I did.

Apple offers nothing like this. I can even download a Takeout dump from Google import it other apps for processing.

Apple Maps POI database still seems pretty bad IMHO, but worse is that it’s search function is broken. If I am searching for something, return results sorted by distance. Sometimes Apple Maps returns businesses with the same name in other states or countries before one right next to me. Maybe their POI database isn’t the problem, and it’s search. Given the years they’ve had to improve their broken App Store search, it doesn’t raise my confidence that it’ll improve soon.

You can tell they were really reaching for that third bullet point to list on the side of the box:

In the mentioned book some examples that are given are Coley's toxins (a 100 year old treatment) that is highly effective for some patients. You can download a report on a particular cancer at mossreports.com and there are many pages detailing complementary treatments and the level of evidence for each of them. For example the supplements with the best evidence behind them for helping to treat most cancers are EGCg, Curcumin, Genistein, Resrevatrol, and Sulforaphane.

Yes, the juxtaposition occurred to me. But this is not an accurate representation of my view:

> you're saying, in so many words, only people who are fanboys use Apple maps because Apple fans are sheep so why should Apple bother.

This is a reasonable interpretation if you read my comment carelessly, because I was pretty imprecise with my phrasing.

First off, I don't think my sample is close to representative of all users, but I've come across it often enough in diverse enough contexts that I'm comfortable considering brand-loyalty-as-motivation to be a non-trivial part of the market dynamic here.

I'm also not artificially deducing brand loyalty from assumptions about the quality of the product, and I recognize that its most famous failings don't encapsulate overall product quality (in fact, I didn't make any direct claims about product quality). The "brand-loyal" people I'm referring to are the ones who've explicitly said to me that they use Apple Maps so that it can "get more user data and get better". This kind of altruism is vanishingly rare in most product relationships, and brand loyalty is by far the most parsimonious explanation. This shouldn't be surprising; theres a reason that Apple's marketing and product competencies are world-renowned, and I have plenty of other from-the-horse's-mouth examples (like the family members who sincerely ask me why I'd choose an Android, as they had _literally_ never heard a reason other than "can't afford an iPhone").

Apple's relatively poor competency at services (vs hardware products) is a subjective claim, but one that isn't an unreasonable conclusion for a thoughtful person to land on (or disagree with).

To put it all together, something like this more accurately conveys my point:

I have enough data points of strong brand loyalty shaping Apple consumer behavior, particularly in the case of Maps, that I fairly consider it a non-trivial factor in usage of the product. I don't discount (and in fact directly call out) the possibility of the app fitting a specific consumer better, nor do I claim that it's not a better product overall, as I'm not familiar enough with it to make that claim. A situation with stickier brand loyalty _requires_ less competition on usability than the counterfactual (this is practically tautological).

If you can't see the difference between the above and the trivially-disprovable factual claims in the comment I described, then your definition of "fanboy" seems to be little more than "dislike a product I like".
Here in New Zealand there’s State Highway 1 which runs the length of the country. Because of our geography (long and thin) it’s basically the only way to cover long distances quickly.

Inexplicably once or twice a year Apple Maps decides that different sections of SH1 is closed and sends you on a wild detour.

Right now, Apple Maps thinks that a short 30m (100ft) stretch of SH1 is closed just north of Warkworth. (It’s not closed, I drive it daily, and have reported to Apple weeks ago.)

The suggested detour is a miserable, slow, and windy drive. Why Apple, why?!

I think this makes great sense at the world population level. And after all, the Pfizer vaccine is only 30μg per dose, with equivalent (marginally higher) efficacy at preventing disease. The RNA sequences are highly similar as well, so I doubt that one expresses much more robustly. It’s been long speculated that the moderna vaccine has more side effects with same efficacy due to the aggressive dosing, and reducing to 50μg or even 25 is supported by a plethora of reasonable data.

Why Trump Supporters Are Pissed Off and Don't Trust Anything
Another related question is whether “long COVID” (which feels imprecise to me), is something that should require everyone to lose their individual rights to decide what risks they undertake? In my opinion, if people are worried about it then they should just restrict themselves, rather than blocking everyone else from [going to school, opening their business, collecting rent, etc]. One reason I feel that way is that studies have shown that lingering issues like ARDS (which is now seemingly lumped into “long COVID”) are linked to obesity or vitamin D deficiency. It seems to me that limiting one individual’s freedom to accommodate the poor lifestyle choices of another individual is morally wrong.

Lastly I think your closing comment that parents are highly likely to get infections from children is misleading. Numerous studies show children are less likely to transmit COVID (example: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/07/200710100934.h...).
If given a recursive schema like this:

type Tree {
property value -> str
link parent -> Tree
}

you'd traverse the link as usual:

SELECT Tree {
value,
parent: {
value
}
}
FILTER .parent.parent.parent.value = 'foo'

If there's a need to self-join on an arbitrary property, then you could use a `WITH` clause to explicitly bind the two sets:

WITH
T1 := Tree,
T2 := Tree
SELECT
T1 {
similarly_valued := (SELECT T2 FILTER T1.value = T2.value)
}
> I think this is very common in many "western world" countries, not just the US.

I'd say it's the same process even in China these days.

There was a big stir online few years ago where it came to light that Shenzhen polytech grads have significantly larger salaries, and employment than much more prestigious university graduates.

On other side, I see more, and more Chinese companies becoming carbon copies of American corporates with engineering offices stuffed full of MBA's, and needing 10 SWOT analyses to fix a single line of code bug.
to expand on this... while it is encouraging to see that there is a good immune system response to such a low level of the vaccine it's also true that in the real world for pfizer the two shot course is the only way to be really protected against the Delta variant.

its use in places that don't have enough doses to go around would be huge though.

I guess my biggest question is whether the distribution is symmetrical. I think mathematically¹, that if you do something like sum n values that are uniformly distributed from 1…k, you'll tend towards a bell curve as n ∞, so I have no reason to believe that you wouldn't get something like that with IQ tests, but I have a hard time convincing myself that it's necessarily so. Then again, whatever deviation from a pure normal distribution would probably not be dramatic and the median = 100 line would hold up regardless thanks to the definition of 100.

Phthalate's are "plasticizers" - chemicals added to make plastics durable, flexible, transparent (ie. like every single water bottle).

Its been increasingly shown that "Phthalates act by mimicking the female hormone estrogen, which in turn inhibits production of the male hormone testosterone. As such, phthalates are considered to be endocrine disruptors" [1]

In fact, Phthalates are one of the candidates to explain the significant drop in male sperm production [2].

The point here is its possible that the effects of plastics are much more significant than anyone realizes...how much of the LGBT / gender identity issues could be related to environmental toxins?

My experience (NZ) is that it’s 50-50 whether you get the “Fixed speed camera ahead!” warning before, or after, you drive past the speed camera. (Even approaching the same camera from different directions!)

The position of the cameras is correctly marked on the map, so you just need to keep an eye on the map rather than trust the audible alerts.

Requiring a billing infrastructure makes everything hard.

Now I need to charge users before I let them sign up for an account, because if I send them a confirmation mail when they sign up, and then a couple password resets over the years and I've got more than a handful of users, it's going to be real money. Which isn't that hard, but users don't really want to pay $1 to join a forum or whatever.

The bigger problem becomes how do you actually tape a penny to an email? There's a lot of diversity in email providers (even if there's a lot of concentration at the top), and international payment flows are extra fun. Plus, a penny USD is a significant amount of money to people in many less wealthy nations.

And the whole thing is very decentralized, so good luck with adoption.

It's a lot more complicated than distance from the screen.
