I had this! Third day after my second Pfizer dose. I am very familiar with chest pains through... recreation... and this was a whole nother beast. I was legitimately frightened, even moreso when everything I found said it wasn't a symptom and shouldn't be happening. I did find a 3 month old (at the time) Reddit thread where several other people had commented in the last 24 hours saying they'd found it the same way (maybe a google algorithm effect?).

It cleared up after three days, getting better each day. 34 year old male with no other side effects from either dose.
When I was pursuing Forth, and about to give up on doing anything beyond a file munger I wrote, I discovered Sporth, and had a blast for at least two or three weeks and kept Forth on my radar! A lot of complexity from a few lines of Sporth! What are you up to nowadays?
Why Are Hearing Aids So Expensive? (2017)
Not naive at all. This is an accurate picture of how we were taught to approach decisions - that every soldier was someone's child, someone's sibling, someone's loved one. As leaders, our decisions didn't carry just the burden of their lives, but the lives of everyone else who would be affected.

> If you cannot empathize with the human condition at that level, then you should not be fit for military leadership (naive of me, I know).

And you are absolutely right. I knew officers who didn't care about their soldiers and saw them solely as underlings. If I had my way, they would have never seen the privilege of command.
If you’re going to melt my face when we are talking you should at least bring me a sandwich too. I’d hire that guy for sure. Hasn’t happened yet, but I’ll still hold out hope.

> Influenza kills thousands of people under 18 every year:

No, not only does this exaggerate the normal annual impact, but it has killed far fewer (about half) in that age group than COVID has during the COVID crisis. Most of the COVID countermeasures (everything other than the vaccine itself) are effective against the flu, too, and COVID is much more dangerous (considering both deadliness and infectiousness) than the flu even to kids.

The US used to have "fair trade" laws with these kind of agreements. These were used to protect independent grocers from chain department stores...they were the Amazon of the 1940/50s. Plus ca change.

But the legality of this kind of thing depends on the circumstances. From what I have read, it seems unlikely to be illegal (it is perfectly normal for a manufacturer to supply a product and attempt to stop a buyer selling into a particular channel) but I am not sure it is a great idea to say you are doing this specifically to increase prices.

To give you an example I came across recently, when Sony came to the US they dealt with US wholesalers. Some wholesalers would sell to product to retailers who wanted to aggressively discount product. So Sony eventually stopped selling to wholesalers, and sold directly to retailers who wouldn't discount their product. It is a fine line but the manufacturer always has the choice of not selling to a certain buyer anyway (and tbf, as dollar stores have shown, some retailers will get around the manufacturer's rules anyway).

So I don't think it is particularly unreasonable for a manufacturer to tell customers to stop putting product into a certain channel, and it probably isn't anticompetitive (because it doesn't limit the ability of competitors to sell on Amazon).
Y combinator possible?
Go's type system is actually of significant implementation complexity (in its details it's actually probably even more complex than Elm although less so than OCaml). In a typical implementation of HM the only nontrivial step (i.e. that isn't just a lookup and then checking if two constants are equal to each other) is union-find, i.e. a couple of set operations, but Go also has set operations it needs to do for type checking interfaces. So there isn't a clear performance win at a high level.
I like explicit error handling, but I wish there were a concise way to handle errors from the same line. A one-line function call `foo()` becomes four times as long once you handle errors.

result, err := foo()
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("Error message: %w", err)
}

This pattern is just so commonplace, but it's four times as long.

Contrast with Rust, which handles errors as `foo()?` or `foo().context("Error message")?`*. It's still explicit — I like it better than silently-propagating exceptions — but my functions don't wind up being 75% error handling.

* Where the `context` function comes from an error-handling library.

I don't know about you but I am also not bound to Amazon, a few years ago some stores actually started putting some work into their website, offered free shipping on order over 50$, etc... and I went back almost naturally.

These threads of Amazon-bashing always read like something out of parallel universe, I should go have a worse shopping experience because of some "greater" objective of opposing Amazon?
But for the long tail, sometime they can't be beat.

Which sucks, because I otherwise have eliminated Amazon in my life.

It's seemingly becoming harder to have an "experience" on the Web, and I find myself turning away from progressively more sources as a result.

In the 2000s, running with an ad blocker was a near surefire way to speed up loading a page without any functional issues cropping up - the ad blocking tech even then was _good_.

Then came paywalls - pay for this content, or you won't see it. I suppose, then, I won't see the content.

Then came JavaScript frameworks in the 2010s - ads weren't assets anymore, they were actually part of the content. But for the most part, the Web still worked without JavaScript, and many sites (for what reason, I still don't totally understand) would gracefully fall back to presenting "just the content" if JavaScript was disabled. So I traded an ad blocker for NoScript, turning the lot of it off instead. Some sites need a minimal amount of JS to function, which I'll allow (first-party and CDNs like `jsdelivr`). But if you require JS from stripe.com, I suppose I also won't see then content.

But eventually those JavaScript frameworks became bold - displaying partial content, or no content at all, became the fallback. I count the "Continue reading" button among these (and I get why - tracking who actually read the article must be vastly more lucrative than counting pageviews), though some pages are so bold as to display _nothing_ but the "You need to enable JavaScript" text itself.

Most recently, I've noticed a new tactic: setting a CSS "opacity: 0;" on the page, then removing it with JS, even when JS is not required to load the page. Removing the rule with dev tools shows the entire page. I can only assume this is a way to make sure the page doesn't become visible until all of the content is loaded, but again, the content includes the ads, upsells, and otherwise.

Thankfully I've logged into Hacker News and posted this comment without JavaScript enabled. I wonder how long I'll be able to do that.
Not just a 2FA bypass, it bypasses all of the FA's.

Then again, somehow losing all 2FA methods is my nightmare reason for being hesitant to turn on 2FA for my Google account because their customer service is so completely awful. Like if my house burned down with my keys, phone, and previously authenticated PC stuck inside. I know, extremely unlikely, but without customer service that is willing to verify my identity without relying on an automated/AI algorithm, I feel safer with a strong unique password along with the other account recovery options.

Am I being unreasonable and missing some method of last resort with Google's 2FA?

It’s not a reasonable bottom end because you can sell a viable kids bike for far less, and many people even in a wealthy nation like the US simply don’t have hundreds of dollars to spend on a bike that will quickly become too small to use.

I agree with you that used is a better value, but Walmart will sell you a kid’a bike for a quarter of that price that is perfectly fit for many use cases. It will weigh more, be less durable and serviceable but if you’re looking for something that will be used to go around your 1/5 of a mile street a few times a week (a common kids bike use case) it’s fine.

Damn right I’m emotional. Y’all are gaslighting me and trying to bully my daughter into wearing a mask at school. I love my daughters smile. She should show it and not hide it behind a mask. You better have proof it doesn’t fuck her up. It’s so morally disgusting I’d rather not say exactly what I think of people who gleefully want to force kids to wear a mask and write it off as “no big deal” or “my kid doesn’t have a problem”. Suffice so say let’s go with “monster”.

The entire burden of proof is on you people trying to make this massive deviation from normal. Not me. You have to support your arguments with more than telling me I’m emotional or blowing it out of proportion. Because I have a right to be massively emotional and pissed off. I am fully within my rights to defend my daughter from what I perceive as a great harm. And y’all have no right to tell me how to feel.

Seriously. It’s abuse. You mask people are super abusive. Giant bullies using your loud voices, mockery and name calling to drown out anybody with valid criticisms.

So to the “force kids to wear masks” people here, put up or shut up. Show me proof it won’t fuck my daughter up and show me proof it is actually going to benefit her. And if you can’t provide that proof than go bugger off, I’ll yell at you, the administration and my dumbass governor and his unelected health “experts”. My daughter is more important than any of y’all’s unfounded mandates.

Because near as I can tell there is absolutely no benefit for the actual child wearing a mask. It’s all for giving the appearance of protecting adults, who have a choice to be fully vaccinated. Which is so immoral and so wrong, again, I’ll refrain from stating exactly what I think of the people pushing for it.
This is really a bad example. What value do electronics shops add to a neighborhood? Maybe if you need something asap. Remember Radio Shack selling you phone chargers for $40? Do you miss them too?

I love local businesses in my neighborhood but only if they add value. Theaters, cafes, grocery shops, restaurants, book stores with cafe/events, places for kids, etc. Not an expensive electronics shop that I might visit once a year.
> Many of those streets, to be fair, have bike lines that are shifted 3+ feet away from the parking lane, with stripes to indicate the door zone

That sounds pretty great. Unfortunately in my area the bike lanes are straight into the door zone (see for example https://goo.gl/maps/nMnKZEVZduEfkups8) and this seems to be the general design for bike lanes in the South Bay.

In fact, the city of Sunnyvale's own bike map [0] says to avoid the four feet door zone, yet the bike lane is less than 4 feet wide and straight in the door zone.

It's frustrating. You'd think they'd favor the safety of the unprotected squishy humans over the ones in two ton metal boxes, but it seems like the opposite most of the time.

>We can't get people to wear masks.

It's because we have weak, ineffective, self serving leadership, and have since probably LBJ.

People fight and die for a cause, what in the US is worth fighting and dying for for the average Joe? Constant surveillance, harassment by the state police, corrupt politicians, corrupt justice system, income inequality, shit healthcare, shit schools, shit housing, shit food, shit safety net, regressive taxes, massive debt given to the rich, bailouts for banks, foreclosures for the people, eroded civil rights, eroded constitutional rights? You have the American dream, then you have the American reality. I mean we reap what we've sewn for the last 40+ years. If we really had a serious existential military threat, where we had to reinstate the draft, I'm not sure how strong our response would be because of all this. Who wants to die for Amazon.com or Walmart or AT&T's profit? I mean the American way of life, as it stands today, how would you feel if you had to send your conscripted sons and daughters to die to protect it?

I figured it would be noteworthy for HN for two reasons:

1) Savings, obviously

2) Discussion around why this may be so. Could the competition like Uber Eats be forcing a race to grab market share so intense that the company has decided to zero-rate it's premium offering?

I own several 3 & 4 character .com/net domains and have never had any requests to purchase them. They are all too obscure to be useful I guess.

This one would only be super valuable to Google (Catch gmail.com typos) or if someone wanted to launch a product called Gail (in my opinion).

Paying a million or more for a domain to consolidate branding is common for example pop.com https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28223515 and I know Puppet Labs paid a pretty penny for Puppet.com when it became available, and they were able to rebrand once they had that domain.
Oh, I know it's work, but I am not going to assume POSIX, as that's implemented in userspace with C code. In my universe, C code doesn't exist (except I use a little in some testing utilities in order to get going on a new platform). I never ported to Windows, but doing so would be as simple as teaching the compiler the Windows kernel calling convention, adding that little process entry code, and then writing an implementation of System using Windows calls. Oh, yeah, and generating COFF :)

Virgil has its own calling convention internally (though this is basically System V on x86-64). That only matters when getting into V3 code or out, e.g. process entry, calling the kernel, and signal entry. For signals, the compiler generates a tiny stub that copies the signal handler arguments into the V3 registers and then calls user code. To install signals, user code just needs to fill out the right sigaction buffer, as any other system call. To return from signals properly, I studied assembly examples I found online. The runtime doesn't use signals for anything other than catching fatal errors (DivideByZero and NullCheck), so it just prints a source-level stacktrace and then exits. But Wizard needs to recover from signals in order to do proper OOB handling of user programs, so it actually does the proper sigreturn dance, but Wizard only does the fancy stuff on 64-bit.

In my universe, only three things exist: Virgil, wasm, and machine code. I have no need of other languages except as means to test those others :)

Virgil runs on the JVM and on Wasm too, and those require slightly different ways of getting off the ground.
> I get your complaints but in a lot of areas the alternative to the painted-on lane is to have no lane at all, and having the lane at least establishes a principle.

It establishes the wrong principle - it makes drivers feel entitled to exclude cyclists from the main road lanes. A bike lane that isn't wide enough, isn't adequately maintained (sweeping, filling potholes...), leads to blind corners, or just dumps you out into the main lanes at junctions, is worse than useless - it actively makes cycling more dangerous, because drivers feel no need to share the main road lanes.

> I don't think there's really a solution to the turning problem, unless you're proposing tunnels at every intersection for cars/bikes.

The solution is to have bikes be part of the main traffic stream at that point. If you have a bike box at the front of the queueing area, and ideally a bike phase on the lights, that can help a lot.
Yes, but is there an attempt by Biden or CDC asking people to lose weight, even though fatties are the one filling up the hospital?

And the current vaccines have not ended the pandemic, if they had there wouldn't be a need for a booster shot.

Moreover, is covid the only disease on the planet now? Those overweight people are at higher risk of dying of other diseases too, or do you think its okay for them to die of cancer, heart attack etc but just not okay to die of covid

You stay happy with your biannual booster shots ( and at the same time cry here on HN, twitter etc ) and I'll take care of my health and follow that strategy.
I personally believe you should also take the steps to decrease the risk of you harming people you don’t know, not just yourself and loved ones. Lowering your own chance of getting sick is part of that. If your habits lead to you getting sick x% of the time, and infecting someone else unknowingly y% of the time, which causes death z% of the time, you can consider your actions to have some statistical likelihood of killing someone. Within reasonable limits, trying to get that xyz lower is part of ones personal responsibility to me. To me it’s not a moral trap to say that people should feel responsibility for their actions beyond their ability to directly trace their actions to a specific harm.

What reasonable limits are, and above that at what point the government should step in and say your actions are too dangerous to your fellow man (or if government should have that power at all) are of course very hard lines to draw.
I’ve long wanted it to be octopi but my iPhone and most sources say no. Out of the dictionaries, only Oxford English seems to include but says based on a misunderstanding. Some detail on history here:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus under pluralisation

Interestingly:

> Historically, the first plural to commonly appear in English language sources, in the early 19th century, is the latinate form "octopi"

That’s quite late and interesting the “wrong” one was first.
why sell. just sit on it and watch value go up and up
Yeah, that kind of lane sucks. Cities need to face it - the bike lanes need dedicated space designed in when building or upgrading a road, or you need to remove parking spaces entirely. My city (in Australia) has been doing a lot of both recently. In the inner city, nobody misses the loss of street parking up one side of major thoroughfares (you can fit a bike lane with both directions in the space on one side of the road) - it was extremely unlikely to get a park so you usually had to pay to park in an underground/multi-storey car park anyway. Removing the parking means you can have a properly separated lane (they have plastic bumper things in like 30 cm separated double lines, painted green so it’s obvious what it is and that you can’t legally pull into it or park over it) and it’s great. They’ve even put push buttons to signal you’re there for the traffic lights.
I worked on the team that used the OCaml-based product, but never wrote a line of OCaml (oh well...).

Everyone who worked with the OCaml code was at first bewildered, but then wished they could write everything that way.

The story was that the company bought some code that was written in OCaml, and so OCaml-in-house began.

One of the cameliest devs I know is now writing some Swift, and he says that it has everything an OCaml-lover needs, so you might consider that as well.

Clouds do tend to diminish UV, but not significantly so as to make you UV-invulnerable.

In the UV tracking app I use, the largest cloud-effects I’ve seen are in the range of 1-3 points decrease. So, UV index of 5-7 instead of 8.

Depending on the baseline UV level during exposure, that difference could be significant (5 index down to 2) or not that significant (14 down to 11), in terms of expected minutes until sunburn.
I'd love to see examples of people who advocate raising tax rates glossing over marginal and effective rates. It would actually be to their advantage if more people understood the difference. The number of people who turn down raises because "My taxes will go up" is depressingly high (Any number > 0 is too damn high. You'd have to be deeply misinformed to turn down a raise because of taxes). Those are the same people likely to vote down higher tax rates on higher incomes.

On the other hand if you support lower tax rates, it's to your advantage for voters to be misinformed about this. The more people who think their taxes are going up, even though they aren't, the more people are likely to vote against raising the top tax brackets.
Naively, a small protein of ~100 amino acid residues has ~21^100 configurations. Amino acids average 110 Daltons each (110g/mol), you would need approximately 3*10^107kg of matter to build them all. There is an estimated 10^53kg of matter in the known universe.
We still don't know enough about mosquitos to the point that we could "surgically" remove specifically those that bite humans. Remember, there are over 3000 known species of mosquito. Imagine if some alien race was like: "we need to kill all humans", and then proceed and eradicate all the apes and monkeys as well?
