As a former archaeologist, we really don't care about random contextless artifacts. Legal or not, the stuff in your house would almost certainly not be useful for academic work. Please don't use us as an argument against antiquities laws, especially as most archaeologists are in favor of making them even stronger.
People are doing something similar with housing where I live.
Only for you. The argument above was from civic responsibility, by being in crowded environments while unvaccinated you risk the lives of others.

Also, the chance of being disabled for a long while if you are young without comorbidity is far from 0%. It is quite significant, certainly above 0.5%.
However the advantage (at least to me) of meeting later in the day is that I may well be flagging anyway, and meetings tend to require less concentration. My preference is therefore to try and group meetings together and block out one or more afternoons for them as necessary.
The switching cost is real. I explained this to folks at Microsoft. Microsoft is kind of bad at allowing for focused work in the scenarios I've observed (not necessarily a universal paradigm).

I also once kept the "dinner to 3 am" schedule with 10-4 meetings at Microsoft and it was very effective for everything except my personal life.

I've lived this both as an engineer and a PM. I tried to set aside at least 4 hrs focus time for people that reported to me, no matter their role. Not many others respect those boundaries.
You have to find the right swim classes. We started our children in swim classes at 2 years old, but I was never very satisfied with the instruction they were receiving. I could see them struggling with things and the instructors would just sort of give them nudges in the water to get them to go in the direction they wanted, but weren't really working on explaining things. They also made the kids sit on the side of the pool when it wasn't their turn, so 2/3rds of the 30 minutes they were there, they weren't in the water, getting comfortable with it, learning not to fear it.

When our youngest turned 3, they moved him up to a class where I no longer got in the pool with him, and he was not ready for that. I told them he wasn't ready and they didn't listen. Ultimately, he wasn't getting enough time in the water to get over his fear of getting his face wet, and the instructors were rushing him too much that he started hating going. So we took him out and I bought a 12' diameter, 20" deep pool for the back yard (oof, getting the ground leveled to set it up was quite an ordeal). He is still aprehensive when he first gets in, but usually after about 30 minutes he's asking me to put on goggles so he can stick his face in the water. He'll get there.

Our oldest is 5. His first swim classes were at a different place entirely, but we moved out of there and had to find a new place (the place I hate). So I think he got a better foundation of familiarity with the water to then be able to get something out of the classes at the later school. He swims like a fish now. He recently attended a pool party for a friend's birthday and swam non-stop for pretty much 2 hours.

The "large kiddie pool" or "small above ground pool" was a good balance of cost (I probably put $300 total into the pool, setting it up, and care equipment/chemicals) and capacity for what they need, which is really just "figuring out how their bodies work in water."

The school that I hate is called Goldfish. They're a national chain. Avoid them, if at all possible.
Pfizer and Moderna have similar risk profiles, everything else seems to be much worse. Argument B is highly subjective and I would argue that "the data isn't there" for the young and healthy parts of the population. Despite being "safe and effective" by the standards of medicine, a Sars-COV2 vaccination also carries a non-zero risk of disability and death. Argument C doesn't really cut it, because "someone else" should've gotten the vaccine themselves, if they're at risk.

It's now becoming obvious that vaccinated individuals can still be infected and can spread the infection as well. At the same time, mortality is greatly diminished. At that point, we have a vague and unspecific reduction of an already modest risk. This is insufficient to make a "civic responsibility" argument. By the same token, I could argue people should not drive cars as a matter of civic responsibility, because that carries a non-zero risk of killing a pedestrian.
The measles vaccine has been around for decades. There are plenty of long term studies on the efficacy and saftey. How many long term studies have there been on any of the covid vaccines?
60% of infectious diseases in humans are zoonotic[1], meaning they originated in animals.

That's true, but area is not the only important metric. It only takes a thin sliver of highway cutting through a forest to segment an habitat, break migration paths, and strongly affect ecosystems.

The article is mainly about green roofs, but wildlife bridges would perhaps be an even more important example of "building for wildlife".

> Another rule is that you win by having the best idea, not by being the most skilled debater.

A silly distinction - the most skilled debater is the one who makes you think their idea is the best.
There are some people for whom the vaccine will not be effective (those who are already immunocompromised for example, or people with certain allergies to vaccine ingredients).

> But for a young person with no co-morbidities, that chance is still basically 0%.

Having long term side effects doesn't round to zero, even for young healthy people. And vaccine side effects do.
The more common chemical abatement technique is amendment with lime. Maybe fish bones are cheaper in some coastal locations, I don't know, but it's interesting.

There's also some evidence that calcium supplements given concurrently with lead exposure could reduce the absorption into sensitive tissues (particularly brain and bones), but I don't know how strong the evidence is.

EDIT:

The depth of excavation is determined based on the expected use of the land, and how deep the contamination extends based on soil sampling. Anecdotally, I know that excavation of residential areas at the smelter superfund site in Pueblo (south of me) extended to two feet around the houses.
Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?
You are going after the wrong market. The bottom of mental health is not a money maker. Even if your somehow get more efficiency your margins will suck. Instead go for the best and charge like the best.

Like you described above it’s a 6 month wait to get care from someone decent, so why not charge folks for the opportunity to get care now from the same qualified folks they would have waited months to see?

Your mom need psychiatry meds? Fine we will get someone today or tomorrow no wait but it’s 600$. I’d pay it if it was my mom.

Daughter suicidal and needs to start with someone now? We can do that but there is additional costs.

Want access to that doctor that never has an opening at the regular practice. Well for $300/ 15 min he can see you next week.

In the meantime rockclimbers are banned from the Grampians despite not going close to cultural sites. Just shows money talks.
yeah mining for iron ore and 'climate change' have so much in common /s
I think you integrate with their Stripe account (you have to anyway to set up billing/subscriptions anyway), and each month generate a report on how much they billed, then bill their credit card 3% of that. If they don't pay then their site/product shuts down (after a grace period obviously).
> Just because you heard it in a podcast, doesn't make it true.

Sure - that's true of any source though, including those links you just posted. I included the podcast link because it was informative and the experts are trustworthy, whether you agree with that is up to you.

You're completely right about there being risk albeit small - but it's important to weigh up the risk on both sides which is why I think FDA emergency approval is important.
They have been used for 40,000 years. Not 40,000 ago. People live around there, have done for a very long time, and they still do.
The other major player here who benefits is Facebook. They are tracking folks across the web, and serving ads based on that data. Another huge issue that isn’t touched on in this article, but is a similar vein.
When Does Worrying About Things Trade Off Against Worrying About Other Things?
On the last point:

1) The vaccine isn't perfect, and herd immunity nonlinearly reduces the risk of everyone including the vaccinated from getting it.

2) Unvaccinated people, who make up the vast majority of the cases, create an environment for the virus to evolve within, possibly mutating into a form that is more dangerous to everyone, including the vaccinated
It absolutely wasn't common knowledge before Snowden. Even the suggestion would have put you firmly in the conspiracy theorist camp to most people.

Interesting. The analytics space is definitely evolving quickly.

Personally Im ready for a change with the introduction of GA4 (which I feel is difficult to use) and nearly all other providers costing like $1k+ a month. Will definitely check this out in our next project.
HN is not such a forum, downvotes to disagree are perfectly fine here.
For PowerPoint and Excel, I strongly disagree. People do horrific things with Excel that I think are far beyond its intended usage, but they love it for that. You can't pry Excel away from people in finance and a lot of quantitative/non-programmer roles.

Word is more debatable. Yes, if you use it just for taking notes or something, the alternatives are fine.

But if you want to make a nice-looking document, Word is still just a lot better. I've never seen a fantastic Google Doc, for example, even that my company's designers have worked on.

And LibreOffice is another, older generation of UI/UX that is far behind Office at this point.
I wonder if the same applies to companies, departments or marriages?
> this article only gives me a sense of safety for our own corporate laptops.

Keep in mind that it was a sanitized laptop with no actual data on it, built for the test.

A random employee's laptop? Probably has all sorts of goodies. Don't get complacent.
> I don't have any reason non-work reason to have living space dedicated to a computer desk, and I suspect that's true for most people.

How do you typically browse websites at home? Do you play any PC video games? Steam has a ton of users.

Man, I was really born just in time to see the U.S. outright dig it's grave from pure unadulterated anti-intellectualism.

The CCP may do a lot of fucked up shit, but this century is just going to be completely and utterly dominated by China. I've said quite a lot of bad things about the Chinese government in the past, and may continue to do so until I die... But the U.S. is just fucked, and I very much do want to see humanity succeed and have a chance at exploring our universe to a degree thought impossible throughout our lifetimes. I only see China's method of governing getting us anywhere close to that in the long-term. Maybe they'll show mercy to the research engineers and scientists of the U.S.

As for the rest of our inhabitants... it's near impossible to care at this point.
No one _really_ cares about some cave which some dude shat in 50k years ago
Techempower benchmarks don’t really tell the story, especially if you look into the code being used.

Besides, Django, Rails, Laravel, etc are awful in those same benchmarks but adoption is fine.

The selling points of Erlang/Elixir are far more than simply non-real world benchmarks.
ISP will also want to keep you behind symmetric NAT bars, and replacing the NAT is another quest.

An idea I've been interested in trying is requiring people to downvote for a reason: "unproductive," "inaccurate," "off-topic."

The hope is both to increase friction and to allow each person to decide which downvote reasons they want to respect. It also forces people to foreground why they are downvoting and gets rid of "why the downvotes" and changes it into "why is this unproductive?"
If I understand correctly SpaceX internet is from a satellite. Surely it would would in a larger area than a parking garage or a median right?

I think they only block /16 or maybe /24 blocks... Meaning they block entire ISP networks... What I do is to simply sign up to many cheap VPS until I get an IP that is not blocked... Then relay all e-mails via that server. I guess spammers have the same tactic, but it does work.
I rather suspect there still would be. Perhaps less. But a lot of the conspiracy theorists actually believe that governments (or their authority of choice) have manufactured the disease. There are also reports of people not believing the disease is real while they're dying in hospital.
What is the risk for people who are vaccinated? There should be some level of personal responsibility at this point. Everyone has had a chance to get the vaccine.
This seems a more appropriate question for a Next.js-specific forum than for HN.
Hmm okay yeah, that works. Had to hold it for 5+ seconds and then it rebooted.
Updated OP. Thanks
App Store policies harm developers. Is the web a credible alternative?
Your contrived example is by far the easiest one to tackle. Simply allow the people who are worried enough about this disease to keep topping up their vaccinations.

The people who live in projects next to the freeway don't have it as easy unfortunately. I hope you displace the dangers of the particles your car emits on your commute by donating some portion of your income to a charity that helps people find independent housing.
Parent describes the experience and understanding of why certain methods of building software work better than others. A pattern, on the other hand, is more like a recipe that can be followed without knowing whether it is actually appropriate for solving a particular problem.

Compared to others (Charter) they are having a larger portion pulled back from them. They didn’t even receive the largest contract.
French people have a far greater apparent range than US people for what passes as culture. I have seen crowds of people listening to unusual or challenging music (e.g. viola and kora in an original composition) clearly making an effort to understand or be moved by such compositions. I should think comic books would be a non-issue to parents there.
As a public company, they face shareholder lawsuits for *not* disclosing something this "material" to the business.

I quite like how the Daily Mail does separate upvote and downvote counts.
this is no different than passing 0 right? I fail to see the significance, other than the fact that infinity doesn't work the way you think it would.
The money issue is that ISPs don't pony up to put up fiber on connections they already own, they install it ad hoc. I have spectrum internet, its shit. My alternative is ATT DSL, back to the stone age, so spectrum it is for me. I pay for the fastest spectrum speed offered at the time, but I notice that they had been advertising for fiber in my city. So I called them up and asked if the could set me up with fiber internet. They could, but I would be out hundreds of dollars since they charge me to run fiber from the street to the rental that I live in. Not even the property owner, but the subscriber. They won't upgrade the line they own running to the building themselves, only if a customer pays for it out of pocket. This probably explains why so few people have fiber internet in the U.S. if for most cases, you only can get it if someone who lived in your unit previously or your neighbor on the same line from the street already paid to get the wire to you, or you pay for the install yourself.
Great read on the pitfalls of GIN indexes: https://iamsafts.com/posts/postgres-gin-performance/ (I'm not the author, but this did happen to me.)
I disagree with this, from the perspective of someone who really just loves the constant learning and puzzle-solving aspects of programming. I've been doing it for over 30 years and I feel incredibly lucky to have people throw heaps of money at me to do what I enjoy, plus I still work on side project code a few times a week minimum. I even procrastinate programming tasks I don't want to do with programming tasks I do want to do. It's pretty amazing.

Doing the right thing.
In some ways, "Patreon for good journalism" is Substack's pitch. It has its good and bad aspects but no doubt it's a very different monetization model than the ad-driven model.
In Australia, it always costs less to bulldoze history than to pay the trivial fine.
> By that theory, the reason that conservatives need not work as hard to understand liberals is that they feel all the same moral impulses liberals do, and more, while liberals only feel 2/5ths of the conservatives' impulses.

> The same theory suggests that conservative persuasion will be more effective on liberals than liberal persuasion on conservatives. This then leads to election losses, which leads to hand wringing about how liberals don't understand conservatives, so they can't convince them to vote liberal.

How so? My impression would be that then 2 out of 2 liberal arguments would then have appeal to conservatives, but only 2 out of 5 conservative arguments would work the other way.

Not so much.

For the resources they use (the entire out put of a huge hydroelectric plant and serious pollution) they provide about 1,000 jobs.

I like it. I've always wanted to promote mailto: links over silly contact us forms (and all the hoops you have to jump through to keep them functional and not abused) but never had a really good argument for non-techy folks and lots of pushback that mailto: is "not standard" and "does not work for some people" with very little evidence. This is a nice story for the 'pros' column.

People can essentially get "long-covid" from the vaccine. Unfortunately, people are afraid to talk about it for fear of being labeled an antivax-er.
This is the work of a modern Machiavelli.
I know most reasonable people disagree with this persons views, but why are they getting downvoted? They made a reasonable point and provided a source from the CDC. I'd much rather see a rebuttal than downvotes and no response.

Definitely gave me something to think about - not about to become anti-vax or anything but not worth instantly writing off either. For me the bottom line is that the vaccine is proven to prevent a disease that's killing millions, and not getting it will literally translate to more deaths, but that doesn't mean I'm going to disregard opposing views - if I still disagree then it doesn't matter, and if I don't disagree then I'm glad I listened because it'd have to be something massively significant to make me change my mind. And I fully believe mocking or ignoring anyone who goes against the grain on vaccines is causing more 'real' anti-vaxxers and making the ones who are just wary about the Covid vaccine more extreme. I highly doubt anyone is being mocked into abandoning their beliefs on this.
Every time this brought up the person doing so doesn't seem to realize that some companies have lower margins than others (eg. walmart vs microsoft), so you end up those companies more.

Yeah that's tricky to do in your pocket though. If you take out your phone and hastily do something like that you're gonna activate "I have something to hide" suspicions.

But as another commenter pointed out you can hold the power button for a longer time (5+ seconds) and the phone will turn off or reboot, which achieves the same thing. Just quicker and stealthier on the iPhone.
Do you mean literally what you are born with, as in just your genes (or perhaps technically environmental effects during gestation)?

You're missing the distinction I am trying to make. The language may be political, but my love for my partner is not the same thing as the language I use to describe it. It's why this conversation is important: we are not merely symbol processing units, we are human beings with perceptions and feeling that are not entirely mediated by language and politics.

That may seem to you as if I am splitting hairs. For me it's one of the most important distinctions in the world, and one that is lost when we insist everything is political.

Even if we full stop emitting now, the CO2 and the methane in the atmosphere will keep doing its warming work. And there are now more sources GHG, some of them are methane from melting permafrost, or CO2 from forest fires, and not sure how much the cloud cover would change with more heat.

You have the exponential trend of growing global average temperature, and the exponential trends of triggered positive feedback mechanisms.

If we want to revert this, we have to offset not just our emissions, but the triggered emissions too, remove the extra carbon from the atmosphere, and lower the temperature, without all four there will be no long term solution, just a continued trend towards conditions not compatible with human life or civilization as we know it now.
So we have passed a tipping point after which future tipping points cannot be avoided? Then are they really tipping points, or is the tipping point in the past?
I’m at a point where I think the only solution is a technical one, which yet has to be discovered. All politically motivated attempts failed.
