GeekWire wrote a post on my personal story with long COVID while launching our startup. There is definitely a lack of awareness, resources and research on long COVID. I must say I felt like I was going crazy for a while there until I got a proper diagnosis. I'm hoping the word gets out and people start taking this seriously. I was lucky enough to not get the wost version of long COVID, but others out there are suffering debilitating symptoms that have taken their well-being overnight.

Worldsource Wealth Management/Modern Advisor | Full Stack Developer | Vancouver Canada or Remote (within Canada or South America) | Full-time/Contract | https://www.worldsourcewealth.com/ https://www.modernadvisor.ca/

You will work as part of the development team to create a hybrid advice platform for use within Worldsource Wealth Management. The team will leverage ModernAdvisor’s existing robo advice proprietary technology to create a new robo advise platform directly for Worldsource. You will be involved in the initial design and development of systems that will integrate directly with downstream systems to provide functionality such as account onboarding and client updates.

The current ModernAdvisor tech stack is Ruby on Rails (v6) with an AngularJS front end and MySQL DB. Everything is hosted and run on AWS. We will be leveraging our existing platform to bring digital experiences to Worldsource Wealth Management. Some interesting technical challenges that will be worked on include moving away from a legacy AngularJS framework, scaling the existing system to handle an large increase in the number of clients, as well as supporting different backoffice processes under Worldsource including new third party system integrations.

Experience in Ruby on Rails is helpful but not required. If you are a good developer you can easily pick up whatever is needed to be successful.

All our developers are involved in taking features from ideation through design, development, testing, deployment and support. This provides a great way to expand your experience and be involved in the full development lifecycle. We ship to production multiple times a week. Generally all of our developers work on both front end and back end.

If you are interested in fintech and would like to learn more email me at anthony+hn@modernadvisor.ca with some info about yourself.

Interview process: 30 minute call to discuss the role in more detail. 1 hour technical interview. 1 hour interview with CEO at ModernAdvisor and/or Director of Business Systems and Development at Worldsource Wealth Management.

> Good business sense is to do only what is reasonable for yourself but great business sense is to make others do what is not.

I think its interesting to meditate for a moment on the great amount of meaning in the closing sentence here. Great business sense by this definition seems inherently immoral and extractive rather than productive for one. Secondly the it seems quite the antithesis of competition under free capitalism producing better outcomes - the effects of concentrations and imbalances of power is something that is frequently left out of those debates.

I think that we should try to strive for a world where good and moral business sense is better rewarded than great business sense.
Is the underlying accusation by the union that Amazon somehow tampered with US Postal Service mail or mailboxes? Because that would be quite a grave accusation, far worse than any charge of union vote improprieties.
If you could turn off being drunk at any point when you felt you needed more concentration -- foggy night, urge to speed, narrow turns -- it would be far safer to drive when drunk.

There are many reasons why the chart of auto fatalities is dominated by those with less than high school degrees[1], but one is that accurate risk assessment and good choices matter. For example, "Should I send a text one word at a time once an hour on a straight road going through Nebraska in broad daylight, or should I text continually with both hands in heavy traffic?" The first is a risk easily worth taking, even with other people's lives.

You can avoid this by having your lawyer do the contacting as well as fund transfers from their IOLTA.

For you as an individual you have to realize that the state doesn't know who your lawyers are. They might know you have A lawyer, they don't know all the lawyers you have. Piercing a lawyer's records is more expensive for the government to both rationalize and do and use as evidence, and just adds another layer for them to just stick with focusing on the lower hanging fruit.

This is more about avoiding scrutiny just because some other business got subpoena'd, actually report/pay your taxes though. There are other ways to shield assets and compliantly reduce taxes domestically.
No, I think this is essentially wrong. It's hyped because it:

(a) Doesn't have selectable or negotiable algorithms and constructions.

(b) Exclusively uses modern constructions everybody trusts.

(c) Has a minuscule implementation footprint, designed in part to avoid dynamic allocation altogether, that is straightforward to audit.

(d) As a result of all of this, it is very fast.

(e) As a result of all of this, software security and cryptography engineers generally trust it more than any alternative protocol.

(f) As a result of all of this, it is absurdly simple to configure and get running.

Yes, IPSEC does a bunch of stuff WireGuard doesn't do. Yes, that's the tradeoff WireGuard made. Making that tradeoff is (a) the point of WireGuard and (b) the reason people like it so much.

No, way less resources are used in electronics recycling than in mining virgin resources. You're making a false equivalence here, or some weird kind of appeal to ignorance. Yes, it's true that some things are unknowable, but not this.
ABCL and Kawa have that advantage as well, without the strange "Lisp is nice, but..." design philosophy of Clojure.

How can it be effectively measured/confirmed? Were you able to produce data to prove it, or is it a theoretical assumption?

> You're saying it's not reasonable for covid to evolve to become more likely to cause illness in children. If that's true that's great news, but I really have no way to evaluate such a claim. Why is that unreasonable? Wouldn't we need more insight into why children are currently less affected to speculate on how reasonable it would be for that to change?

The short answer is that evolution is random. It isn't an intentional process. The virus isn't trying to become more infectious, or deadlier, or...anything, really. It's just a random process, filtered by some outside force(s). And in this case, the relevant outside forces acting on the virus are: 1) the human immune system's ability to see the virus, and 2) the virus' ability to bind to our cells.

If you're vaccinated (but not previously infected), your immune system can basically only efficiently recognize a bunch of little chunks of the spike protein of the virus -- the piece that allows the virus to bind to your cells. So any random mutations to that spike protein are potentially beneficial, in that they can maybe hide the virus from your immune system, or maybe increase how tightly the virus binds to your cells, or they can be potentially detrimental, in that they can maybe cause the virus to bind less tightly to your cells, or make the spike protein misshaped or something. Or they can do nothing at all.

These are essentially the only "forces" related to vaccines that are guiding the evolutionary process: forces that attempt to change the structure of the spike protein to either escape the immune system, increase cellular affinity, or decrease cellular affinity. The vaccines do nothing to influence anything else. All other dimensions are random, with respect to the vaccine.

Viruses are pretty stupid. If you want to imagine that the virus could become "more fatal" (somehow; it's not clear how this would happen), it has to be done within this framework. There was to be some process that is selecting for the viruses that are "more fatal", and that process needs to be somehow more efficient when only a fraction of the human population recognizes the little bits of the spike protein encoded by the vaccines.

Can this happen? Sure, anything is possible. Is it plausible? No, not really.
because it is.
Flash drive is entirely unnecessary and, honestly, sounds like a pain. You can simply email your print jobs to Staples.

However, the couple times I've printed at Staples I've had to wait in line - there's only a couple printers and I had to wait for other people to finish printing.

> Shops offering printing-as-a-service are one of the most common things found in every small town, all over the world.

FWIW, I live in the outer suburbs of Melbourne in Australia. By no means a small town. It’s a 20min drive to my closest place that does printing, which is apparently out in an industrial estate. There’s absolutely nothing in the 3-4 most accessible shopping/retail areas. These types of places have been shrinking with every passing year.
Thanks @paxys, Mattermost CEO here. I appreciate your comment and I can see where you’re coming from.

At the same time, if people are using our open source project to showcase their work, I am a fan.

We definitely do that ourselves talking about React, React Native and Golang :)
Although the application is interesting, as someone who studies SDEs the notion of "reverse SDEs" is frustrating to me, as Brownian motion really isn't reversible. The citation provided is from 1982, but I'm not convinced the theory can't be situated in the more modern interpretation of "backward SDEs" which became more popular with Peng's work in 1992.

Backward SDEs aren't time-reversed, but satisfy conditions at the end of the time interval instead of the beginning. The idea of time-reversing Brownian motion is like saying that you're running thermodynamics backward--it only makes sense if you sample them forward, then move backwards along the forward sampled motion.

It feels like (2) is just a backward SDE arrived at via the Feynman-Kac theorem applied to the Kolmogorov backward equations.

That said, it worked on me :) I've subjected people to using VPNs and I would rather have a worse security posture than to do that again. I'm really intrigued by Netfoundry and agentless zero-trust networking. I've POC'ed ZeroTier + whitelisting but doing so in the app sounds like a great approach!
I think you need a calendar app for that for now.
I read an activist-type scientist refer to insecticides as biocides -- if we look at 'life on earth' as being one/unified.

Makes sense to me.

I also saw an ad on reddit the other day that was like, "Get rid of insects in your back yard so you can enjoy it!"

i was like, tf? still??

like, we didn't get the memo about collapsing ecosystems or something.

headline seems misleading b/c it's talking about bees, not humans, but i'm guessing it's harmful to humans, too.
Apparently Virgin Mobile doesn't verify email addresses nor does it let you reset your password by email. I assume they send you a text or something. So I've been getting billing notifications and other garbage for someone else's account for years.
He mentions "Smart TVs". I always thought you could just buy a SmartTV and not connect the internet and have a dumb TV.

Nope. HDMI changed that.

I bought a TV a few months ago and it started showing adverts because it was connected to the internet through my ROKU via HDMI.

That's right, you can't even have a dumb TV anymore.

Someone needs to make an HDMI internet filter, stat.

But Adobe? That smells like extortion.
Android phones and tablets.

"In addition, the Android smartphone operating system (from version 4.0 onwards and possibly earlier; we don't know for sure when the change happened) uses GPSD to monitor the phone's on-board GPS, so every location-aware Android app is indirectly a GPSD client."
If it's a template then it's a very complex one, and under closer inspection it reads almost like storing code in a string and evalling it.

Let's say we want to iterate over commits in reverse. A google shows that we can do something like this:

v-for="item in items | orderBy 'field' -1"

So, there's pipes now, and Vue has essentially re-invented a programming language inside HTML attributes. But then comes this example below it:

v-for="item in _.reverse(items)"

And this line is terrifying! If this string is able to use lodash, then that means it's able to access the JS global scope, and therefore is very powerful - yet the resulting template is nonsense js, but still at some point involves JS evaluation?

Maybe I'm missing something though - I don't use Vue and if something is this big with this approach, I'm definitely missing something.

EDIT: A search for *new Function(` calls in the vue github repository shows quite a lot of code that essentially evals strings.
It was too, when you stayed in the new .NET UI, with additional bugs.
Note that shell itself is one of those applications.

The problem there I think it's that all the CLR VMs are not free, specifically the libraries in them are loaded from disk, sizable and not shared across processes, and lazy loaded.

Same problem as if you ran a lot of JVM applications.
My question is how does that work in a dynamically typed language? In static typed language we can know scope & type of a variable and we can't change much in runtime.
Well, you and I didn't. I know quite a few people who've been talking since June about how they're comfortable doing suchandsuch "as soon as Covid is gone", and I'm not sure what they could mean by that other than eradication. It would seem to me that by an endemic standard, the Covid outbreak was gone from the US between May and July and has only just recently made a resurgence.

Certainly investor culture matters a ton. And US is a big place and certainly isn't monolithic. All the stories of early silicon valley speak of a clash with 'East Coast' investors who are viewed as being more conservative on both terms and stages.

It's a little goofy, but I have a personal hunch that the high level of sunlight in Silicon Valley help entrepreneurs there - as building companies is rough so it helps to persevere if it's always bright out.

(Background, I grew up in Boston, moved to Silicon Valley, and have tried to start companies with varying amounts of success.)
I bought an HP 3600N networked color laser printer in Nov 2006. Cost me $574.39 delivered and gives reliable and excellent quality output for about $38/year so far in capex. 3rd party toner cartridges run around $110 for all 4 (they're about half the fill of the genuine HP article for about 1/8th the price).
In home use, I've replaced the cartridges twice, so I'm around $800 plus paper for almost 15 years of convenient printing at home. $38/year in capex and $12/yr in consumables.

There’s no way I can justify leaving my house to color print in order to save $4.50 a month.

Having the printer for two pre-teens during COVID schooling was a bonus as well, but it was long ago “paid for” by convenience and time savings.
The hardest part (authenticating the request) is also done.
Interesting! That does look promising. South Dakota has 762k people and 125k positive tests. The CDC assumes that 1 in 4.2 infections were reported, so that would be 525k people infected total. 52.8% of people got vaccinated. Assuming there's no correlation between getting vaccinated and getting infected (which I'd assume isn't 100% correct), you can assume that of the 295k uninfected, 156k got vaccinated. So that'd be a total of 525k infected+156k vaccinated and not infected = 681k = 89.4% immunity.
The problem with that logic is that just the plain internet access is becoming less and less useful everyday as the internet moves more towards walled gardens. It's like if the basic phone service only allowed you to communicate with other land lines, but you had to have an account with Google / Apple to make and receive calls with Iphones / Androids.
I'm in Tasmania's second largest city, Launceston.

The closest printing shop with extended hours, which I need because I'm just a lowly blue collar working who needs to work 12 hour days to make ends meet, is Officeworks, and there's exactly one of those here and it's 8 kilometres from my house and shuts at 7pm.

I'll just use my second hand Brother colour laser, cheers.
As far as I’m aware “aerated concrete” is the next step up in concrete tech:

https://www.buildinggreen.com/news-article/autoclaved-aerate...

It’s lighter, less energy intensive, better insulator, basically just by inserting bubbles into the structure. Widely used in Europe but not adopted by the US because lumber is cheap and we don’t have any established manufacturers.
I find reads like this interesting, but I'm discouraged when things like "The Nutex Company made radium condoms." are mentioned but are also not quite right[1].

I have doubts now about how well everything was researched which is a shame because it's an otherwise interesting article.

I too am in Australia, but 15 minute drive into a small town without a print shop. Perhaps Australia is a oddity, and most people/places worldwide do in fact have easy access to a local print shop, but I am guessing the grandparent is seeing things from the perspective of a north American and in my experience it is a relative safe bet that the north American experience does not usually translate to the rest of the world where the majority of people live.

FWIW my 20% number was pulled out of the air and based on very rough knowledge of HNs userbase.

Do the Mattermost mobile apps let you log into multiple teams at the same time yet? That was always the sticking point for my social groups and the reason we went with Slack or Discord. I looked and saw some rather inconclusive JIRA tickets, ranging from "it's impossible" to "it's on the roadmap".

Competitive play may have started with the wealthy, but football had been played in various forms as early as the 15th century.

Wikipedia has a lot of good citations on the topic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_(word)

As with most organically adopted words, nothing is clear cut, but there's quite a lot of evidence that the foot in football is about being on foot rather than on a horse.
