You need controls to account for confounding factors. Looking at a trend line does not account for confounding factors.
They don't cover the exact same date range (20y has 10 more years of 20y returns than the 30y), plus it's a median so it could be randomness that skewed it towards a higher return vs. the 30y. (The 10.21% return happened 1 year before the first 30y return is recorded.)

Interesting that if you take the mean you get:
10y, 20y, 30y :: 8.87%, 9.67%, 10.23%

Increasing mean returns as you increase holding period, and the mean 30y is almost exactly the median 20y.

There's libertarian as a religion, and practical libertarian. I'm the latter type: free markets are generally good, and people should generally be left alone to live their lives. But public health is a real thing that matters, and governments should step in to make sure externalities are charged to the people who caused them. I still think I'm a libertarian, but the religious type might disagree.
Absolutely - there's few technical barriers here. I thought about the idea of supporting multiple notaries, but concluded that the current system is too reliant on the notary system for platform security, since the signed app's permissions statement is taken "as-given".

A redesign of this would certainly enable a seamless experience - just namespace apps by their store, and the official app store becomes one of many stores, sitting inside a namespace based on their public key hash.

I regretably concur - the non technical barriers would go up. I could envisage some convoluted process to add a store (that would make installing a provisioning profile seem like a walk in the park, even though actually a provisioning profile might be the best technical example this could be done!), followed by a whole list of restrictions imposed on apps from alternative stores - no Apple pay access clearly, probably no NFC hardware access (wouldn't want someone able to use that hardware they paid for!!), no keychain access (to protect you). Perhaps no photo reel access and no doubt no iCloud access, and no ability to bypass background task restrictions to build your own cross device data sync ecosystem.

Being able to plug in an alternative to iCloud would certainly also be nice (so you don't need their cloud storage to use data sync and other nice-to-have features some people use, like backups), but I just don't envisage it happening. Making that kind of on-device, app-facing API pluggable would be the right technical approach... But no doubt iCloud would remain the "only" storage provider, for non-technical reasons.

Ask HN: What is the state-of-art in virtual DOM nowadays?
It's been a few years since I last looked into virtual DOMs to speed up web app perf. Have browsers solved these problems and there's no need for Virtual DOM layers any more? Are there new browser APIs I should be aware of?

I now have a new simulation web app, where I'm often rendering 50,000 agents at once, with 1 agent === 1 dom element. I expect to target WebGL/Canvas in the future, but right now my thought was to push DOM to the limit.

I've already sped things up multiples through standard profiling using Dev Tools Performance Tab, but while I do that I wanted to start another "thread" going where I look at state of the art ways of faster DOM updates.

Is there some blazing fast tiny new virtual DOM only library I should look at?
Not significantly, it came into force May 6th indoors and outside if you couldn't maintain 6', but most cities in eastern MA had 100% outdoor mandates too. I think it was Nov 6th when they made it 100% outdoor statewide regardless of distancing. The mask mandate wasn't lifted until May of this year.
So, you linked a number of articles from early 2020, when there was not significant community spread of COVID and thus the primary strategy for dealing with it was isolating and quarantining individual cases, and most people in the country would probably not come in to contact with someone carrying COVID.

If you want to know what the WHO recommends, you need only look at their website:

Trying to trick people into desired behaviour through escapism rather than creating a shared culture of stewardship, responsibility and self-control is exactly what a dystopian nightmare looks like.

I think you should look at the roots of theatre. The principal function of theatre wasn't escapism but Catharsis, the cleansing of one's emotional state to be able to re-engage with the world and to renew and restore oneself.

Good fiction engages a person with the world and prepares them to improve their society and culture. It doesn't produce a bunch of obese Wall-E people who live on canned beans binging Netflix all day.

That is nothing like how free speech generally works in the US. Compelled speech is the exact opposite of free speech.
I do not. Direct democracy, as practiced by Athens, would be a better example. Worked OK for Athens for a while. Athens had probably 30,000 citizens. No modern state has tried replacing representative democracy with direct democracy, for reasons nicely explained by Benjamin Constant (https://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/constant-the-liberty-of-a...).

Right. He was originally certified by the ABO which speaks to his eminent qualifications as an ophthalmologist and as a doctor. He had a disagreement with them regarding some rule so he created the NBO. I'm not sure why that would lessen anyone's confidence in him as a doctor. To me it makes him a badass who is willing to roll up his sleeves and do hard, boring, administrative work to create a new institution that is more in line with his principles. I have a lot of respect for that, but even if you don't, it doesn't revoke his ABO certification.

What a depressing situation... having to protect a bunch of people on a get rich quick mission from themselves. Of course you can adapt that argument to people buying cheap food, clothes, housing, etc. A lot of people do these things because they are in situations where they have very real fears about their future safety and solvency, so it is not an argument against consumer protection by the state but an expression of frustration I guess.

Okay, I see what you’re saying, but that’s literally what thinking critically is. It’s vital that one be taught to identify when they’re not thinking critically. Perhaps it is the case that many people simply refuse to think critically, in which case education about how to think critically is clearly not the problem.

I am trying to figure out whether you are arguing that rights must be absolute or that rights do not exist. If it is the former, I will point out that the rights of one person can infringe upon the rights of other people or the rights of one person can be used to repress other people. Simply put, rights are never absolute. In the latter case, I will simply point out that rights are a social construct. As a social construct, they very much exist yet society will be in an eternal struggle to define what rights are.
Well, aren’t you just the edgiest.

for me, my imposter syndrome comes mainly when I look around and see everyone working hard and struggling to do stuff well and I feel like I'm not even in 2nd gear and doing as well.

So I think I feel like I'm only putting in less then 25% effort and getting 100% of the normal results (relative to others) - it feels wrong,

it's like finishing a test or exam too soon and looking around seeing everyone only half way through the same exam. I then start to worry what have I done wrong?

with many years of contract work, I've realised It's not me!!

I used to try and hide it since no-one likes a smart arse - especially a contractor. but now I do blow a my little trumpet now and then
> They are no arbitrator of truth or facts, leave that to the courts

Not sure this is a good approach either.

Discerning truth and separating fact from fiction isn't a skill that some people have and other's don't. It is a process that requires one to embrace free speech rather than assigning the role of truthsayer to any particular person, group, or institution.

Here is John Stuart Mills rationale for free speech:

..the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth; if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth produced by its collision with error.
It’s a sliding scale. Basically if you have a 90+% chance of infection such as extended close contact with a sick spouse cloth masks are not particularly useful. However, when used properly they can be quite effective for people at low risk for transmission potentially blocking more than 1/2 of infections.

For example, surgical masks with ties provided 71.5 percent filtration, while surgical masks with ear loops only provided 38.1 percent. …

a three-layer knitted cotton mask blocked an average of 26.5 percent of particles in the chamber, while a washed, two-layer woven nylon mask with a filter insert and metal nose bridge blocked 79 percent of particles on average. Other masks scored somewhere in between.

They also tested a variety of modifications to improve the fit of commercially available medical procedure masks, like tightening ear loops, placing rubber bands over the top and bottom of the mask to reduce gaps, and placing a cut-out piece of nylon stocking over the mask to seal the gaps. The filtration ability improved by 60.3 to 80.2 percent depending on the modification made. As the fit of the medical procedure masks improved, so did their filtration efficiency. https://www.epa.gov/sciencematters/epa-researchers-test-effe...

IMO, saying masks work is perfectly reasonable even if they don’t provide 100% protection.

Some indirect harm? This is life or death for older and immunocompromised people. You are a monster. I can't fathom your inhumanity.
> A good civic discussion convinces people.

Only when done in "good faith".

If someone wants to help stop this pandemic and was arguing that masks aren't effective in "good faith", then they have follow-on arguments that they will be making: "stay home", "don't attend gatherings", etc.

The absence of those follow-on arguments demonstrates that the arguments are not in "good faith".

>>Mask wearing and behavior changes last year were massively effective against flu, by accident.

This is assuming facts not in evidence. there are other factors at play

1. Many people avoided seeking medical treatment that normally would have for the flu this year due to covid, this do not mean they were not infected just it was not recorded

2. There are indications that some people testing positive for COVID could have been flu patients, as some PCR testing has been found to show positive for some flu [1]

3. It is unclear if behavior or mask were more effective, personally I believe Behavior modifications where more effective, a lot of which did not need to be mandatory at all and some of it was not at all (such as increased hand washing, no shaking of hands, etc which I believe it pretty effective at flu mitigation as well)

>>flu is usually much less deadly than COVID. That factor matters in how we treat it.

I did factor that in, The original COVID was much more deadly, the new variants do not seem to be, and new variants + vaccine means I have a pretty low likelyhood that I will have a serious COVID infection thus I really don't feel the need to mask or cede any freedom, regardless of the vaccination status of others around me.

>>The 7 day moving average for new COVID hospital admissions is 89,977 today, and peaked at about 260K in a single week in January.

Where are you getting this data? Ourworldindata[2] has the US at 60,000 Total People in the hospital for COVID, down from a peak total hospitalization of 120K people

This is the TOTAL number of people in the hospital at a given time, not a per day total of new admissions, there is NOT 90,000 new people being admitted to the hospital daily in the us

Further the CDC reports that the 2019-2020 Flu season saw 405,000 hospitalizations and 22,000 deaths[3] and 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths for 2018-2019 Flu [4]

Go try VSCode remote. These are all solved problems. The extensions run headlessly on the server, and the client does little more than render the interface. Switching between machines is seamless with settings sync, workspace recommended extensions, etc.

What's the point?
They copied Telegram's "secret chat" feature, which is completely encrypted and spun out a WhatsApp equivalent.
The narrative has been spun around "journalists and dissidents" and precisely, the same group of users, can use Telegram too with usernames instead of actual mobile phone numbers. It's appealing to the feature set I know, but it boils down to the dumbification of UI.
Telegram is a complete platform - secret chats don't sync across devices (I have a reason to believe it might be using the on-device system to generate keys), but it is not a show-stopper for me. I fail to understand the hoopla around Signal.
Exactly. People who complain about the NSA spying on Americans don’t appreciate how many terrorist incidents were stopped. It would be way worse otherwise.
It's notable that the only randomized controlled trial ever conducted for masks and Covid [1] was not listed under the personal protection section of this page, and was instead was inaccurately summarized:

> A community-based randomized control trial in Denmark during 2020 assessed whether the use of surgical masks reduced the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers (personal protection) by more than 50%. Findings were inconclusive,54 most likely because the actual reduction in infections was lower.

This is inaccurate, and should make anyone doubt the judgment of whomever wrote this summary. The paper in question was quite clear that there was no statistical significance between groups:

> The between-group difference was −0.3 percentage point (95% CI, −1.2 to 0.4 percentage point; P = 0.38) (odds ratio, 0.82 [CI, 0.54 to 1.23]; P = 0.33). Multiple imputation accounting for loss to follow-up yielded similar results. Although the difference observed was not statistically significant, the 95% CIs are compatible with a 46% reduction to a 23% increase in infection.

To characterize this as "inconclusive" is misleading at best, dishonest at worst. In general, I find this page to be a highly selective reading of the available literature, which was (and remains) predominantly inconclusive regarding the effectiveness of masks. Even the WHO meta-analysis of mask literature found only a weak positive effect after mixing together the results of studies ranging from cloth masks to respirators, in medical (most of the data) and non-medical settings [2]. This CDC page has instead chosen to lean on a few poorly controlled observational and/or correlative studies, and ignore the higher quality evidence that came before.
