That's a great question.
Another interesting one is whether these vaccines are preventing cases of Long Covid.
I feel World leaders are conveniently being quiet about these questions, and focusing too much on the drop of death counts only. It's an attempt to rush and re-open the economy at any cost.

New crop of photonic integrated circuits are coming
there is a good amount of research I've heard about that describes workers working more during the pandemic but having less productivity and more stress overall

hence why I think management want ppl back to the office, to get productivity back up - as unintuitive as that sounds

You just parroted a couple of slogans at me that sound like they belong on a Bolshevik pamphlet, you did not answer the question. Who is going to fund these things? You can claim that there are successful solo developers and you would be right, people like Notch and Eric Barone but these people are the exception and they certainly don't pay for teams of hundreds or thousands. So again, who is going to pay the bills for all of these people that are going to work at these new companies? Don't get me wrong I am not endorsing any of the actions of the people in these lawsuits but they don't represent capitalism; they are just creeps, and all groups be they economic, religious, or corporate have them. I am all for workers getting treated better and paid better, I am a worker; but just repeating slogans is not it.
Ha. I honestly don't think I've ever seen such a childish response on HN.
just the simple math of N productivity hours multiplied by ~500 employees... hard to quantify but greater than 0
I’m only using back/forward buttons on my mouse, when supported
Going from 0-1% to 4-5% is massive I agree on that. But in the absolute, it’s still tiny and even a negative real interest rate.

The other stuff about the fed activities not influencing treasury rates is about as true as inflation being 2% avg for the last couple years.
You know what?

I don't care if the NIMBYs get their feelings hurt. I'm past the point of caring.

Your username says "sea" in it which reminds me of Seattle, where I live. Where, even on the very good salary of a technology industry employee, I am just about priced out of.

How can it be that someone who makes a "modest six figure income," to quote a person running for office in Seattle right now, is continually under the threat of a $3,000-or-more monthly bill to rent a place where a car is not required?

My spouse cannot drive; I strongly prefer not to. Should be easy to find a place where someone can live and be transit-dependent, what with all of this transit expansion projects? Yet, for some inexplicable reason, we're spending billions of dollars to build a mass transit system that is either solely next to a freeway or goes through areas of the city that are next to golf courses and single-family housing.

So, yeah, I don't really care about "preserving something good" when that "good" is turning into a MEDIAN house price of just short of ONE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS and yet neither myself nor another family member--who also works in tech and has a salary that would be monumentally great everywhere in the country except here--can feel secure about the cost of living.

It sucks.
No, to force anyone into human experimentation is a violation of the Nuremberg Code. Specifically sections 1, 3, and 8. Other sections could be easily argued to be in violation as well, but those 3 seem to be entirely against the current vaccine situation and policies being adapted by companies.
> mv² = 2mgh

I think I now know what you mean. You mean that a mass will gain kinetic equal to 1/2 mv² by the time it hits the ground from a height of h. This doesn't prove your claim. Using my own derivation of kinetic energy, I get mgh = mv². Here's why:

PE = mgh is the same thing as Newton's Work equation, W = Fd = mad. Why? Because g is acceleration (a) and h is distance (d).
In cases like that, it often ignores words even after double quoting them.
You identify with dev and gamer culture and feel that it reciprocates a sense of belonging. Therefore you have no reason to protest; all your interests align and not protesting is the path of least expended energy. The people complaining do so because they too identify with a culture of devs and/or gamers, however they feel there is an overwhelming majority that identifies its members who are alike and yet does not accept them specifically as part of that culture. So these protesters are not foreign aliens - you could think of them as a version of yourself that enjoys the games and tech but is not fully accepted as being “in” no matter how long you hang around the “in” people. Are we to respond to those people: “Why are you complaining about things being this way or for change - when you knew this has always been who we are, and that this culture is created predominantly by us, for us.”?
Ag subsidies in the US are pretty wild.

One study said that 75% of the price of dairy was subsidized. The fact that I haven't heard of any other studies (or that you even need a study to determine such a number) is a bizarre red flag by itself.
It is a waste of labor. Every minute spent doing labor that isn't worth minimum wage is a minute that could be spent doing labor that is worth at least minimum wage. If someone works for $5 an hour below minimum wage 40 hours a week for a year, that's $10k worth of labor that society no longer has access to. The exhaustion, the bodily wear and tear, the use of infrastructure, there are costs to working, and if the benefits do not justify those costs then people shouldn't be doing it - better to have people do nothing and conserve their strength than wear themselves out doing something net negative.

There is certainly no shortage of valuable work that needs doing. Should we ever get to a point where there's nothing of value left to do, there is no need for any additional work to be done.
Can you comment more on what’s going on at Argonne related to Aurora?
Preston doesn't have to do any convincing - the national republican party might as well be literal demons, so you could the most reasonable republican ever and people would refuse to vote for them just to prevent the national republican party from even having an iota of more power. National strategy has effectively poisoned local races. You could run as independent but you would be a very uphill battle against very well funded opponents. Ultimately there seems to be little hope for progressive economic ideas.
Every time you write “subnet” you’re affirming saurik’s original post about the (needless) complexity of network hardware administration being brought to the cloud.
I agree with you that the notion is absurd. But the article isn't making that argument and neither (according to the article) is Pollan, it's just reporting that the argument has been made by decriminalization activists.

I get the impression Pollan is a reasonable guy. I am skeptical of the idea that drugs (alcohol, caffeine, psychedelics, etc) are at the root of human culture and civilization. Based on what I've read of Pollan, he thinks caffeine is responsible for capitalism, which I find unlikely.
It's not really any safer though. If I want to say that server A and B can connect to each other and connect out to the outside world, and the outside world can connect in to A but not to B, I should be able to just do that, without having to give each server multiple addresses. Addressing should be decoupled from access control.
> Safari is another piece of the iOS/macOS ecosystem to browse the web. They don't have any hurry to implement fancy features like Midi, Bluetooth, Notifications, proper PWA support, CSS rules, JavaScript.

what a joke of a post. please. I'm fine with safari apologists, wrong & sorry though I personally find them.

but safari is not "another" piece of the iOS experience to interface with the internet. it is the primary & sole means to interface with the net on iOS & apple abuses their monopoly to insure it is the one and onlywans to interface with the web. no other browser engines may run, no one else is permitted to travel the reaches of the internet aside from safari.

If safari weren't such a viciously forcibly entrenched force for whatever market share apple has, it wouldn't be such an offensive barge of obsolescence.

> As a user Safari is a bliss, but as a web developer is sometimes a pain.

what undefended pathetic psuedo-apologia. how this is bliss & good for the user, being locked in to the app store & commercial offerings, is undefined & imo inexplicable. does it just feel good, having a non-threatening experience, knowing your web surfing is ridiculously obsolete, low on features, incompetent, buggy, and slow? it makes you happy to know you have no choice, that there's no way you could use better internet surfing tech even if you wanted to? how is this bliss?

> After all, you should have access to those things if you submit your app to their Store and accept their cut.

weird weird appeal: tech is only ever any good when it's proprietary & unavailable on the net (because of the crushing grip of the obsolete buggy browser your os enforces as a lower than low standard upon us all).
Blizzard always made the worse, but more popular game of the time period. Total Annihilation was better than Starcraft. Baldur's Gate 2 was better than Diablo 2.
Of course there is. Sars-Cov-2 has been labelled by one paper as "The Autoimmune Virus" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7598743).

There's way more molecular mimicry between this virus and our tissues than any flu virus. This is a recipe for long term autoimmune diseases.
No relation to the link, but does anyone else remember these books?

I read these in 5th grade or so and learned most of middle school and high school math just from those.

They're written as a fantasy novel in which the characters discover the relevant math concepts as part of the story. I know, you're thinking that's a silly gimmick and it can't possibly be any good, but it was actually done quite well. At least until the later parts of Calculus where the situations have to get pretty contrived.

Highly recommended, at least for precocious kids who like math and fantasy novels.
Are you being serious with this linguistic game? One might just as well argue that stopping the construction gravy train would be the progressive push for change, while letting it continue even to absurd conclusions like empty skyscrapers and bridges to nowhere is the conservative position.

Oh my gosh. I wish someone would have prepared me for all of the screaming. So. Much. Screaming.

Agree adding the oil only after the pan is hot is the key step. Learned through trial and error
Deployment from Scratch (Pre-Release)
I think that has problems which prohibit it from being implemented. I think a better option to just pass the air through a filter to remove oil particles before the air is used in the cabin.
In the last 5 years I have probably written 100k+ lines of production code. My most celebrated feature was about 100 lines to store a single flag in a per user store.
Its interesting to see how technology sometimes drives away old professions, reminds me of this documentary https://vimeo.com/66507747 about the last ice man in Ecuador.
You called for a blanket ban.
And that's why Google made "Distinguished Engineer" and "Google Fellow" position -- so that other engineers would not think it is a dead end job, and would not search for different positions.

This does not mean is easy for someone to get promoted to those positions -- but at least there is no "hard ceiling" for people who just like to write code.
Industry should be funded in a planned way with public money. Institutions similar to NIH/NSF should provide grants for people to be experimental. There would be a track for "scale up" for successful experiments.

In certain cases such as entertainment, it might be desirable to maintain markets as a significant fraction of the industry, but we've seen how large concentrations of private money lead to companies taking "safe" and monoculture approaches to movies, games, etc.

We already have huge concentrations of media doing their own planning exclusively for their own benefit right now. The planning should be made democratic.

The workers will control their workplaces. The exact division of control of the industry will have to be negotiated politically and the way the rewards are shared between industry and the public generally will also be democratically decided. There are many proposals for how this might be done.

It's helpful to think about the division of labor between town, state, and federal levels. The company would form a new democratic level. It forms a political entity now, but not a democratic one.

The slogans are helpful because they elicit questions like yours.
Note that this number includes e.g. people who were hit by a bus after leaving the vaccination centre. It’s not at all a useful statistic for determining vaccine safety.
Lot of people retiring in the next decade. You'll do fine.
> The former results in some members of a favoured class getting cheap access to housing, whilst preserving/increasing the value of the remaining 'market rate' housing.

To clarify, the favored class here are people at or near the poverty line? And their existence drives up prices for anybody else?
Yeah, it sucks. We're supposed to make an effort to like the stuff they like. Not only do they not do the same for us, we're excluded if we don't nurture this common touch.

This is more eloquently expressed here:

And many “startups” exit by going public and last longer than 25 years.
> Vaccinated people get in contact with the virus as much as the non vaccinated.

Is this known to be true, or is it an assumption you're making in your analysis?

Just curious, because I would have expected people who refuse to be vaccinated to also be more likely to socialize in ways that expose them to the virus.
Which they aren't. The attempts to unionize Google employees have been a total failure. The union is extremely unpopular. Without collective support, there is no strike.
Any sport where it is common to be the world's best at age 14 doesn't deserve to be in the Olympics. There is no justification for how someone who is not even a fully grown adult can be the master of a sport, unless it is actually a sport that just checks whether you have gone through puberty or not.
I read "No. 4"--Simplest Cases. This is just like how I remember calculus from high school--a bunch of rules that I memorized but had not idea how to apply to real-world scenarios. It's all about x, dx, y, dy, etc.

Maybe it's easy, but it's hard for me to know how its useful.

I think mathematicians who write math instruction love math for maths sake. The rest of us want to know how we can use it to solve problems we face in our everyday lives.
You’re absolutely right. Political action is impotent if it doesn’t actually move you towards your goal. Walkouts for a day and then you just go back to work, do not affect a company’s policy. Protests don’t magically bring social justice. Storming the Capitol doesn’t stop the election. So much political actions today don’t actually force change, they just “raise awareness” and make participants feel good for visibly being on the right team.
> especially if a lockout policy is set on the TPM.

what happens at lockout?
CAFE standards for automobile gas mileage have been around since 1975. Perhaps less a slippery slope and more the reality that America isn't a libertarian state?
"Only 30" launches :) this reminded me about factorio where it takes you 95% of the game to launch first rocket, and then if you built your automations right, just sit and relax and watch rockets ascend one after another without you doing anything :)
Did you read half the quote? What exactly was the point of the criticism, do you think?
On the contrary, there's evidence that less time at work (especially a single day) can keep productivity the same or better. Look at 4 day work week experiments.

Non-compete clauses are very much a thing in our industry I wouldn’t be surprised if Blizzard were to enforce—or at least threaten to enforce—them if a sizable bulk of their workers migrated to a new workplace.

So by this definition, if I want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare and let the elderly and sick fend for themselves - I'm a progressive.
> It really is true today that buying a trusted used car is WAY easier than buying a new car.

Could you elaborate on this? Is this a recent development?

I bought a new car in November 2020 and while I certainly don’t _love_ the dealership experience and I’m probably less uncomfortable with financial negations than your average person, it didn’t strike me as a particularly painful experience.
This subproblem is called "bigram detection", or more generally "n-gram detection" for phrases of > 2 words. I'm not going to give away Google's algorithms, but you should be able to look up public academic research with that keyword.
I imagine you're kidding, but that's literally the point of the title. Of course X looks like X, but there are different contextual implications for what "drowning" refers to here. The fact the title takes the form "X doesn't look like X" obviously implies it's discussion two different contextual X's.
Personal story of how I came close to losing my life and how Ivermectin saved me.

Ivermectin just saved my life. I woke up with thick mucous and blood that I couldn’t extricate or cough up and called my doctor and the hospital. They threw up their hands and said there is nothing we can do, monitor your saturation levels and let us know if you feel faint. And within 8 hours I could not walk or talk, my wife called the hospital and they said I need to be brought into ER. A friend of ours who was taking prophylactic treatment with Ivermectin brought in his medication and begged us not to go ER and wait for 6 more hours. I was put in touch with one of FLCCC doctors who immediately asked me to take Ivermectin and prescribed a steroid to ease my respiratory issue. 6 hours has passed, the symptoms started to stabilize and reverse. I was able to talk, walk and drink. Within 10 hours my saturation levels turned around. I still continued the protocol for the next 2 days, I was out of the woods with barely a sore throat. Continued the protocol and even the sore throat was gone. I am as good as new. My PCP is dumbfounded and refuses to acknowledge the work of ivermectin.
Um … “most of our users are users who will pay for this model” doesn’t really prove what you think it proves.

But more to the point $120 - $240 assuming major versions last a year or two is too much relative to, say, apps in Adobe suite or especially too much relative to the new sleek photo editing apps and suites for MacOS and iOS (like Affinity).
Welp, time to dust off that HotBot codebase and get it running again! /s
This is governments own website, not "my statistics". Its a tracking system to report suspected adverse effects. As in a physician reported an adverse effect they noticed in the patient, soon after the admission of the vaccine. It does not include any potential long term effects. As we don't know them yet.
The documentation still exists, but you can't launch it anymore.
Interia is a large polish web portal, from what I could find. Norwegian people doesn't know it, but polish people might. There is probably around ~2 % polish people in Norway. It also ranks as #1 for me. It's in polish too, so basically only ~2 % of Norway would understand it.

However, the weird thing it that it steals content from articles, and then outranks them. Most pages seems to be boosted, maybe as a result of it being new. (Most content is just hours old)

Could you check these too? (exactly the same thing, but newer, it seems)

Not necessarily people near the poverty line. You could be earning 6 figures and still be eligible.

There's a lottery system which is 'fair' for some definition of fair, but doesn't solve the problem, which is limited housing supply, and doesn't help all who want to live here.

I've been saying for about 10 years now: make your network public, and use actual authentication on things that need access control. Visitors using your wifi? No problem, since your wifi is just another part of the internet as far as your threat model is concerned.
I really wish the government would just let me make my own decisions about how I spend my money... If I want to buy a car that gets bad mileage and an inefficient computer, let me do that. Just make me pay for the negative externalities of that. Maybe make some optional "energy efficient" certification so if people want to, they can buy a more efficient computer.

The state doesn't need your cooperation to type in a password that is plainly visible though. That's where the self incrimination comes in.
yeah, it's not technically a sunset period if they haven't announced the service will be ending. but they've been sending some pretty strong clues - afaik you haven't been able to create new EC2 classic instances for many years now.

Searching in Google has become all about shopping. Pure and relevant content is hard to find.

Even today here are bloggers outside who do not have a commercial affiliation with the goods/items/things they are blogging about. Such content is practically impossible to find in comparison to all the Amazon-affiliated pseudo-information conveying spoof-sites.
… and while fungi have certainly figured out the lignin thing, pyrolyzed anything is much harder to break. Unlike fresh organic stuff, most of the N, even O and H is gone. It’s just more favorable to eat something else.
And above all, in most other sports, bigger and older correlate directly to “better” – as they do in men’s gymnastics, for example.

Not so in women’s gymnastics.

There's a solution. Just have the women do the same events, judged the same way, as the men do.
It's on the front page of the Washington Post and NPR.
And how ironic to use a throwaway to deny its existence.
> Have less buildings.

I agree. Let's start by demolishing the building you live in, the building you work in, and the buildings you buy food in.

What, you didn't mean those buildings? Well guess what, no-one wants the buildings they use demolished, so this idea is a total non-starter.
This is because it is a prisoner's dilemma: quality news sites would prefer no one to track, but if everyone does, they have to in order to make any money.
Does Professional Experience Matter?
That's not in his work, though. That's in the insecurities of people who set out to be offended.

The closest he gets is the characterization that's it's natural to women to have babies because their bodies are capable of it, and most women do or at least want to. That shouldn't even be controversial because it's borne out by all of human history.
