Hi! Thanks for asking! I very much am drawing that comparison, because there is literally no--and I mean that, literally no--evidence from a credible source to suggest that the possibility exists in terms of actual pathways to a long-term problem. Should that evidence be forthcoming from sources with a credible tether to reality, I will re-evaluate my position, but unlike so many of the fearful types who insist one "should do their own research", I have, and this is the conclusion I've come to, and to such a degree of certainty that I am comfortable with the requirement.

Further, I am also asserting that the fearmongering to the contrary is foolish and worth immediate discount. And given that literal disinformation ops are trying to recruit YouTubers to take a ninety degree swerve from tech or whatever they normally do to talk very seriously about the just asking questions about vaccination, I am okay with being pretty damned hard on this.

Thanks for asking!

And PhDs and tenure track aside, many undergrad science degrees are probably not much more useful as a credential than liberal arts degrees that many here like to mock. There's nothing wrong with majoring in biology if that's your thing. But unless you're pre-med or plan to get a PhD, it's probably not a more useful major than history or English--and may be less useful depending upon what sort of job you're looking for.

"and then every-so-often batches those metrics out to Apple's servers" means they do know, even if we trust the implementation.

For example, if you publish an ad that only matches the word "fnord", and the metrics reveal that you were shown that ad at least once, Apple can work out that "fnord" appeared in your chat.

Hypothetically, if an Italian citizen, living in Italy, hired an American hitman to kill someone in the US, would it be unjust for the US government to ask the Italian government to extradite the Italian?

I don't have these any more, but... ~20 years ago I had a 'searchbyemail.com' and 'recipesbyemail.com' service.

SBE would take a term, search/scrape google/yahoo/altavista and return the name/link in an email.

RecipesByEmail was... recipes by email - put 'chicken casserole' in the subject, and we'd send back links to chicken recipes (I think later, I had it send back 2-3 recipes scraped from some open recipe sites).

They never got huge traction, but I remember getting more than a few 'thank you' emails from blind folks. One specifically came from someone who worked in a school for the blind, and he wrote that the search thing was very handy for some students.

Ask HN: Is scratch.mit.edu now primarily social media?
Over the past few months I've noticed my child spending quite a bit more time on Scratch (including maintaining multiple accounts). I recently reviewed this and was surprised that most of the time was spent in open (and seemingly un-moderated by adults) chats. I was curious if others have noticed this morphing and have the same or other concerns?

Specifically I have two concerns:

1. My child is under 13 and they are certainly sharing private information on this site but none of their accounts required parental consent. I just opened an account with age < 13 in the US and was also not prompted for parental validation. This seems to potentially violate the Child Online Privacy Rule in the US [1].

2. Many schools encourage and facilitate the use of Scratch but at least in my child's case it seems that this has become a loophole to chat and participate in social media during school.

To see what I am referring to you can view https://scratch.mit.edu/explore/studios/all/popular and view any of those studios comments sections which are all primarily an open chat unrelated to the projects.

Scratch in the past has had some really great offerings and community events not only about coding but also about sharing and creating art. I'm disappointed to see that much of the use is not about these at all. Thoughts?

Hearts of Iron (3 in particular)

One of the biggest problems with playing as the USA in Hearts of Iron is that you need to actually convince your Democracy / citizens that its worthwhile to go to war. And unless you click the "Crisis of Democracy" button (aka: turn yourself into a dictatorship), you don't actually have full control over the policies of your country.

Which is why its more fun to play as Germany / Hitler (where the button was already pressed before the game started). But playing as the USA (where you have to build support and convert the peacetime economy into a military economy in time for the war) is a big challenge... a "hard mode" for those who have already mastered the military portions of the game.
Right now we are primarily focused on building something to address the big stuff because of the possibility of breaking up into thousands of smaller debris. At some point the smaller debris will need to be addressed, in which case its possible something like this would work. That being said Space Lasers may also be a contender, but that comes with the caveat of being classified as a weapon. Either way it will be interesting to see different ideas come to fruition over time, both from our playbook, and from others!
You could say the same about unemployment though. There’s no economic shortage of jobs, just greedy workers who think too highly of themselves.

For #2, if you have a medical condition that prevents you from receiving the vaccine it would require either falsified vaccine cards to show you as complying with the mandate, or disclosure of a/the medical condition that prevents you from getting it. Effectively, this small minority is finding themselves in a position that pits their medical privacy of their underlying medical conditions against the requirement to prove vaccination status.

On a related note, I wonder why antibody levels aren't used. I mean, we should want to measure outcomes, not output. If you have comparable levels of antibodies from natural infection vs the vaccine, then you should be well protected. Conversely, if you recieved the vaccine but your immune system does not produce a sufficient level of antibodies, then they shouldn't be considered "safe", right? This question was mostly based on an article I saw about a nurse who was fired because she didn't get the vaccine eventhough she had antibodies. It made me think it was mostly a move by some corporate lawyer limit liability.

"you can "take your chances" with the vaccine which, statistically and biologically, is safer than getting coronavirus."

Can you elaborate on what you mean by biologically safer? Also, I'm looking forward to the data Pfizer will be releasing soon for their regular market approval, because I haven't been able to find good statistics about covid v vaccine serious side effects by risk factor(s).
But if you’re vaccinated then you’re not at risk? I say as a vaccinated person.

You're 100% right. This isn't Ebola or SARS where everyone who gets sick has obvious symptoms and becomes gravely ill. Asymptomatic carriers and transference to other animals like birds and cattle will ensure that it will persist in our population permanently.

The good news is that viruses tend to get less dangerous over time. Death of the host provides selective pressure against those variants. Syphilis used to be extremely dangerous and rapidly fatal, but it has been around for so long that it has changed. But that process takes years typically.

Ask HN: How do you measure / manage self-serve revenue?
Self-serve is just getting more and more popular. I'm exploring it as a strategy and have lots of questions on the subject! Hope you folks can help.

Do you have separate metrics for tracking revenue from self-serve as opposed to others (like sales, referral, and so on)? How do you know which ones are contributing to your MRR month-on-month? Is there a concrete way to tell whether self-serve users go on to be better customers (i.e., customers with higher LTVs)?

>Cities skylines for example has no concept of slums.

That was one thing it seemed to simulate pretty well in my experience. Last time I played it, I set up the city with a bunch of low income housing areas in industrial zones, roads all through them, small housing plots next to industry and under overpasses and stuff.

The neighbourhoods looked exactly like the low income housing neighbourhoods around industrial areas I've seen in real life. The people in those houses were typically unhealthier than in other areas. I put the closest hospitals and schools just outside those areas, the waste water from the city was dumped nearby etc.

It's quite possible to create extremely disparate neighborhoods and areas. From slums to McMansion filled suburbs to bustling industrial areas.

Sadly though, my in game city started with me trying to model my real city. It turned out pretty accurate at least as far as neighbourhood layout and visual income disparity went.
True. Personally it demonstrates a lack of imagination or the "easy way out".

For example, Google showed incredible to innovation to do what they did with Adwords. But then the way they slapped ads on Youtube has been gross.

There's basic user experience also.

Agreed though. Surveillance and privacy are even more important.
For the US, retiring, at least for most that are on the verge of retiring savings-wise, means you have a mix of regular savings (that has already been taxed) and 401k savings (that hasn't). If you figure out how to limit your 401k distributions, then it may be possible to keep your taxable income low enough that you get ACA subsidies to limit the cost of your health insurance premiums. Although maybe that's not the expensive part?
I use Tiller for this. By initial comparison this looks more expensive with less features and a limit on total accounts, am I missing something? Tiller is a bit weak on tracking stocks in investment accounts.

There's growing evidence that large media companies can generate revenue from advertising deals from large brands with high-level interest targeting.

That doesn't say anything about the performance of targeted ads - just that high-level targeting is a suitable replacement for narrow targeting at a certain scale.

That's a separate concern from niche publishers (without direct sales teams) and niche brands (who only have a few thousand dollars to spend on marketing) who both want to maximize the value they're getting from the ecosystem.

And that's where the real money in advertising is. Fortune 500 companies boycotted FB last year and it didn't make a dent in their revenue, because they have millions of small businesses that all spend $50 on ads per month. That level of spending is only effective with narrow targeting.

>> Graduates who finished law school in 2019 earned a median $72,500 the following year

The number I want to see his how much their salaries increased after law school, what they made over and above their pre-lawyer income. At law school I ran into many students who "earned" lots of family money prior to school. Some were on trust funds but other had token jobs in family firms. One of the top earners in our class was a guy hired immediately by his father's firm, but I think he was already some form of on-paper employee with them prior to law school too. Other people came from relatively stable jobs prior, only to struggle to find work afterwards.

Concerted campaigns to discredit someone for mundane “offenses” (which are well within the overton window) especially by coercing employers to terminate the target is not “plain social ostracism” and indeed the people who engaged in this in the past were themselves socially ostracized for their bad behavior.

To be clear, we’re talking about signing a letter endorsing free-speech ideals or Tweeting research on the efficacy of non-violent protest or saying a Chinese word that sounds vaguely like a racial slur.

Further, the term “cancelled” is not a term that the critics of cancel culture invented, but rather it was invented by the early participants of cancel culture.

It seems so obvious that cancel culture and social ostracism are different things that I don’t understand how anyone could confuse them in good faith.
And he's right.

Immigration restrictions are economically like any other kind of import barrier. It will boost the money to be made in the sector in question, while being bad for the US economy as a whole. In the long run we are all better off from free markets, no matter who is impacted by the short-term disruption.
It's a valid question.

The honest answer could simply be "yes." Depending on your circumstances. The more nuanced answer is...

Look at things like The Trinity Study / Monte Carlo simulation, https://www.cfiresim.com/, https://engaging-data.com/visualizing-4-rule/, https://firecalc.com/intro.php, https://retirementplans.vanguard.com/VGApp/pe/pubeducation/c... and so on.

To start, we assume that 1) we cannot predict the future but 2) the best predictor of the future is the past.

Then we make some assumptions that we think we could apply to the future, like how much we'll spend each year, how we'll allocate our assets / investments, and how long we need our money to last. From there, we take historical data and apply our unique assumptions to the historical data simulating each time period available, and we take a close look at the results.

To get 100% success, you'd need something like no inflation, or invested assets greatly exceeding our expenses. For example, if you spend $100,000 / year, and you have $4 million invested, even if inflation matched your investment return, you could still live off this money for 40 years.

But you probably don't need a true 100% success rate. More likely, you need just a bit of flexibility, and a backup plan. Most failures happen due to something like stagflation or negative returns very early into your retirement. Your best option at that point is to return to work and reduce expenses until you've passed some of the worst, and then return to retirement with a much higher predicted success rate. If you retire without flexibility and a backup plan, blindly spending 4% of your assets each year regardless of the market and inflation, staglation could ruin your chances of success. But why would anyone choose to do that?

I suspect we'll see an increase in adversarial scraping in the coming years, since it's (relatively) easy and legal. Probably more interesting research or at least datasets will come from researchers outside academia, since companies like Facebook will use their financial muscle to dissuade institutions from operating research projects like this by offering or withholding donations.

More likely datasets will come from where they come from, and if their reliability can be validated or seems sufficiently credible analysts will follow. I don't see adversarial research as necessarily unethical, any more than it's an unethical attack on industry to study pollution patterns.

> Anyone who thinks this is merely “ideology”--that there are non-capitalist systems that afford better quality of life for less labor–is invited to support their position with evidence.

The evidence is the replacement of the system originally named “capitalism” by its critics, under pressure from its critics, throughout the developed world by the modern mixed economy in the decades of the mid-20th Century, with the modern mixed economy, which afforded the working masses a better quality of life for less labor directly by restraining the property relationships defining capitalism.

The question isn’t whether you can do better in terms of quality of life for workers with less labor than capitalism, the question is whether there is a limit to how far you can move away from capitalism while continuing to improve on that.

120k per year is not unreasonable for teachers if you start counting benefits as wages. The pension plans of most public school teachers are generous, special tax breaks are effectively a form of salary. In California the school teachers are exempt from social security. These don’t show up in the nominal salary, but it is still money paid to them (some of it indirectly).
I agree completely, apologies if I was unclear. My point was only that you shouldn't be ONLY doing "task work" (eg implement this interface that someone has already defined for you). You need to understand how to design the system as well as do in-the-weeds implementation work.
