What I can't imagine is what it was like to be that person. I wasn't alive (much less socially or politically active) in the time period being described. I'm alive now, when we have similar but different attitudes towards racism and sexism. However, people who I know and respect, who taught me the fundamentals of morality as a child, were those same people in the 60s. What goes on inside the head of a person in this kind of environment? Are they oblivious? Do they rationalize it? Are they conflicted or confused but pressured? How is this cultural attitude maintained in adults or taught in childhood?

I'm aware of some similar externally confusing contradictions in my own life - I eat beef and pork at family gatherings, though I believe those animals to be nearly as complex and intelligent as my own beloved dog; my home, vehicles, and lifestyle contribute fewer greenhouse gasses than my neighbors' might but still far more than they must if we're going to reverse climate change; I worry about erosion of privacy and corporate overreach but find the utility of Google's communication and navigation tools and Amazon's low-friction product delivery too compelling to avoid the appalling privacy implications...

Will my children and grandchildren look back in horror at how I used to live? Did my parents and grandparents have the same questions and rationalizations about about their own lives? I've asked a few of them, but never gotten an answer that allows me to intuit their perspective.

Accusing somebody of following a talking point seems needlessly provacative and ad-hominem, and not in the spirit of HN. Better to just give reasoned cited responses and leave it at that.
It's interesting to hear they even support that form of 2FA. Few services outside of Silicon Valley in my experience don't support Yubikey or TOTP besides for enterprise, probably because they either don't understand it themselves or think it will confuse and scare off their customers.

> Granted we're probably way under counting infections in that age group

People get tested when they feel sick enough to be worried, there are many very minor and/or asymptomatic cases for which we won't have data. By using the positive case counts as the denominator you are using the most serious slice of cases to argue that coronavirus infections are serious.
There was an article on that topic in the Washington Post at the end of July:

WSJ editorials also endorsed taking horse dewormer as a COVID cure. Favorable coverage by a political ally of an activity filing a lawsuit is not to be confused with a scientific consensus

“Among Kentucky residents infected with SARS-CoV-2 in 2020, vaccination status of those reinfected during May–June 2021 was compared with that of residents who were not reinfected. In this case-control study, being unvaccinated was associated with 2.34 times the odds of reinfection compared with being fully vaccinated.”
This proves once again that the EM Drive is not generating any force whatsoever, which was the 99.999...% expected result since before any tests anyway.
Not OP, but the dynamics that quash dissent in these specific areas are still at play even when individuals like you ask for specificity and openness. If your goal is to get at the truth of the matter, you'll probably have better luck discussing with folks 1:1.
Animal reservoirs are also responsible for helping to breed illnesses that are able to evade our attempts to stop their proliferation, like with antibiotics, antivirals, and vaccines.
Here[1] is a good overview of studies on test prepping and their relatively underwhelming influence on scores:

>Once scholars control for all these factors as best they can, they find that coaching has a positive but small effect: Perhaps 10 or 20 points in total on the SAT, mostly on the math section, according to careful work by Derek Briggs of the University of Colorado Boulder and Ben Domingue of Stanford University.

PyPy shows what you can do (and what you can't do) if you are willing to leave the relatively simple interpreter design behind. (native dependencies are its main problem too: having to present the CPython C API limits what you can do, especially if you can't really look into the code of the dependency)

As someone who used to work for one of those companies selling a « support chat » platform, no, they don’t.

The marketing and sales departments never targeted the editorial/dev team of a website/company but directly the sales department or an upper management department of the potential new customer.

Chances are that the developers of those websites have to suffer those bullshit integrations as much as you do. And they also are asked to integrate them.

You're taking this to mean something different than the parent intended. The intended meaning is more along the lines of the old trope, "the customer is always right." This means that in any dispute between the seller and the buyer, Amazon favors the buyer 99% of the time. To the point that it's incredibly easy (and common) to be a hobbyist Amazon scammer as long as you stick to scamming marketplace sellers instead of Amazon itself.
As long as there is an actual live person who can help me behind that chat I actually appreciate it.

I used the chat solution of my broadband provider just a couple of weeks ago and it was a really good experience.

Also, as a former support technician I far prefer text from both sides of the table.
I really wouldn't call C++s type system expressive. And neither would I say it's community is small or enthusiastic. And compile times are fast in C++? What are you smoking?
Because you’re focusing on small but visible details that are hard unsolved problems for a company that’s Amazon’s size.

If you have the solution to any of these problems you would have a genuinely game-changing business and would be a 100M company selling it to every online marketplace.
> I don't think 2 years is enough to just "build new hostipal", let alone staff them

It totally is enough time to build one. Staffing is more problematic, but if it was a state-run hospital you could've converted a lot of national guardsmen into nurses in the meanwhile. You don't need a lot of talent to handle most Covid cases, just people able to follow the protocol.
One statistic I think gets overlooked is the Afghan population almost doubled from 20M to 38M in the last 20 years. The massive young demographics growing up under occupation was going to come home to roost sooner or later. There's also the geographic reality that Afghanistan is a land locked country and US tenuous access via Pakisan or the even more perilous northern routes meant taming Afganistan was always going to be a long term losing proposition.

Recently my son is using / installing lots of gaming peripherals and software for it and I have to say that I have not seen this much crapware bullshit since Windows XP (with no Service Pack).

If you want to setup the LED lights for your fans - you must install this crap; if you want to customize your mouse somehow - install this other crap. Same companies have not one, but two software suits that manage different peripherals.

Razer is the worst of these. Asus ROG takes second place.

This is correct. A typical CodeForces problem is intentionally constructed as a unique snowflake that can't be solved by just calling a library function. You need to be able to design an algorithm that solves that specific unique snowflake on the spot. Perhaps your algorithm also makes some library calls to other algorithms in your comp.coding library, but those are merely building blocks for your own thing, which you have to invent.
I hate to be blunt but sometimes life is unpleasant, even more so now. Do you think that it's fair to demand people change their way of living because you don't want an unpleasant illness? I think it's unpleasant when people eat seafood (I don't like the smell) but I don't demand everybody stop eating seafood.
I'm curious do you have concrete data for this? I would love to see compile times for representative codebases of various sizes across languages and how they've changed across compiler versions.

From anecdotal experience I view OCaml's bytecode compile speeds to be on par with Go's (as a rule of thumb I expect about 1 second per 10k lines). Far slower than something like TCC, but quite fast among other languages.
How did these companies get so massive without any meaningful customer service departments? Amazon, Google, Facebook and many, many others where customer service is not even bothered with, yet people continue to use their products and services.

As a customer, I've had no trouble reaching Amazon customer service when I need help, and they've always been helpful - refunding or replacing the defective product.

Kinda ironic to see a literal misquote trying to imply that China is fudging numbers. Quick google search for another article get me this: "on Monday, the country reported 21 imported cases and zero locally transmitted symptomatic infections -- the first time no local cases have been recorded since July 16. It also reported 16 asymptomatic cases, all of which were imported too, according to the NHC. China keeps a separate count of symptomatic and asymptomatic cases and does not include asymptomatic carriers of the virus in the official tally of confirmed cases."[0]

So here we have a country doing "draconian" mass lockdowns, aggressive contact tracing, aggressive testing, travel bans, and doubling down - unreasonably, according to some opinions - on all that stuff that's supposedly really effective at curbing pandemics, and reporting low number of cases, but apparently that's just "China lying to you" because... the west's opinion is so important, I guess?

Or maybe it's just easy to make anonymous inaccurate xenophobic zingers online (perhaps out of jealousy that their own country is not doing as well.)

I think I'll take Occam's razor on this one. I suppose it must be lost on some that assessing the situation entails thinking in terms of orders of magnitude, since number of daily cases by definition fluctuates.

Is the business goal to get you to click the back button?
I've been around the horn a few times on this. Anything short of a commitment to pay for the product (up to and including prepayment) is just noise. It's not so much that people lie about what they say they would do, but that it's too easy for you to lie to yourself about the signal you're actually getting.

Here's a good example:

> Though a lot of people I spoke to sounded "excited", I got very few signups. (They're not my target audience, so I didn't ask them if they'd pay for such a product)

Those people weren't in your target audience, and you didn't ask them to pay, but I presume you take it as a positive sign that this particular audience was "excited." But it's not. It's not anything since they're not even potential customers. That's how we subtly deceive ourselves.

Talk directly to people in your target audience (contact on social, then move convo to email, then move convo to telephone) and try to get them to put some skin in the game. One popular tactic is to offer a free feature request for a refundable prepayment.
To be honest, until two weeks ago the official narrative has been that we'll all go back to normal once everyone has taken the vaccine. Unfortunately, the virus has thrown a spanner into the works. This wasn't planned.
They send it to a number on the account.
You do you. Just don't force society to continue doing any of this, that's all I ask. It's time to move on.
My recent experience with non-amazon shipping:

- Ordered a blanket directly from the blanket maker's website, order details were delayed, no shipping notice, no out of stock notice, order took 4 months to arrive (it was supposed to be a gift).

- Ordered some flatware from MOMA was charged and no shipping details updated, I waited six weeks before emailing them - they said the system 'lost the order' I had to have paypal reverse the charges.

There are other examples, but generally non-amazon sucks - even in the best of cases it's twice as long and usually expensive.

With Amazon I often get two day, next day, or even same day shipping for free. Packages arrive typically well packaged and undamaged and the tracking is really good. If there are any issues they are quick to resolve it.
And if you use a long pseudo-randomly generating string, you will amuse support (and annoy yourself) when you have to read it all out...

The TS language semantics would seem to preclude a stripping based implementation, no? Eg generics seem to be a whole new area of semantics [1].

I agree that TS is closer to JS than ClojureScript is, but it seems to me to be its own compiled language with code generation targeting JS.

I'm not certain, but I believe they started shipping the flat magic mouse, er, mice with the 2009 iMacs and 2010 Mac Pros. Unless you only got the magic mouse with an upcharge? That could be the case, although I think it was standard.

I traded my own iMac in a few years ago, but got to keep the peripherals. I'm not a huge fan of the, uh, flat ergonomics, but it is an amazing mouse when you need one to throw in a laptop bag, and the sensors are top notch when it comes to actual tracking. If only it came in a more ergonomic shape...
Not to mention the amount of time experiments take-suppose we want to know if a drug prevents an illness that takes decades to develop? Sure you can model it in a mouse, but to do that you need to know exactly what the parameters of your model are.
Indeed. We can only hope this is an intentional self-referential joke.

Maybe you wouldn't get canonical ADD but you'd definitely have an attention deficit disorder of some sort. Drink alcohol every day and you become addicted to that dopamine hit. Gamble every day you are addicted to gambling. Play video games every day and you are addicted to video games. These things infect your mind because they work just like crack cocaine, luring you in with a hit of dopamine and you end up sacrificing showering at best, interpersonal relationships and other aspects of life at worst. There is science showing these rewiring events happening due to drinking, gambling, and other addictive or compulsive repeated behaviors. I'm not sure why repeated daily consumption of 30 seconds of viral content would be any different and wouldn't predispose you towards seeking your dopamine hit thirty seconds at a time, and make you de facto have a disorder holding attention on something for longer than 30 seconds.

Economic Effect of the Covid-19 Lockdown in the US: Cure Worse Than the Disease?
If I recall correctly, Specialized Bikes pulled all their products from Amazon a while ago, pointing to the failing local bike shops eventually hurting the bike business for everyone.

Bicycles are not toys. They are vehicles that need maintenance. You can do much of that maintenance yourself if you're a nerd, but the vast majority of cyclists are dependent on local bike shops to sustain the cycling community.

The bicycle/parts manufacturers need a large cycling community to sell products to. The large cycling community will have novice and intermediate cyclists that will abandon cycling if their bikes break down. The novice and intermediate cyclist need local bike shops to do maintenance on their bikes at affordable rates. The local bike shops need a revenue stream beyond labor for maintenance to be affordable. Thus, the major bicycle manufacturers need to give a oligopoly status to the local bike shops in order to keep their user base large.

As a life long cyclist, I've seen the industry grow and wane, and throughout it all, I've seen the vast majority of people think bicycles are some type of sports-equipment. Decisions like this are one of only a few business models that I can see sustaining the community. I'm actually surprised and optimistic to see the major manufacturer Trek start building their own brick and mortar shops in certain major cities, though I'd prefer to see this happen through a major cooperative between the various brands. If you care about making cycling a serious, sustainable transit alternative, we need to maintain the entire ecosystem of ridership, which means the race to the bottom on amazon must be stopped.

>Sand piles are of course the bridge between the two ;)

Bridges are an engineering topic, most coastal areas lie on sedimentary rocks, and wormholes, a theoretical physics topic, are also called "Einstein–Rosen bridges."

In other words, while bridges are bridges between sand piles and sand piles, sand piles are bridges between bridges and bridges.
It's a hybrid design. It's got a single planetary gear and a medium speed medium sized generator. High speed designs have multiple gear stages that enable a small high speed generator. And direct drive turbines don't have gears at all but the generator needs to be massive.

> How can things be normal if our healthcare systems are nearing collapse?

Why are healthcare systems unable to scale (horizontally or vertically) to meet demand unlike every other industry in the world? That should be a red flag that you don't have a robust system when it is unable to scale. We've had nearly 2 years since the start of covid to make healthcare systems more robust. Why haven't we? Maybe we should focus on that instead of telling people to mask up from cradle to grave.

Imagine if the computer industry were the same and we asked people to limit their internet time for 2+ years because the servers and routers that make up the internet were always on the brink of collapse? Like... wouldn't we just build more servers and routers until demand could be met?

Spend the money on the validation!

Recipe to spend $1000s marketing dollars vs $10,000s of development hours to validate ->

(1) Think hard about exactly who your target customer is and how your product would be received.

(2) Use google ad planner or FB's audience tool to see how accessible that audience is online, along with projected CPC costs

(3) If you are super budget constrained scour the internet for free adwords / fb advertising credits eg - https://www.diydigitalstrategy.com/150-google-ads-coupon/ - many online marketing classes will come with a $100 - 150 coupon

(4) Build a landing page framework WITH pricing on the landing page (or a pricing range eg $XX a seat with team discounts). Both FB & Goog are anti "waiting lists" so you need to think about how to get around this. Consultative sales, eg a "Somebody from our sales team will be in touch" doesn't break their TOS as long as you do a good job following up with the customers

(5) Spend the money on the validation and get the added bonus of talking to some very early preliminary customers that are NOT in your orbit

A `Vec<Option<QueryInfo>>` would be unable to elid the bounds checks because the optimizer will never remember that the Vec was created with 65536 `None`s. `Box<[Option<QueryInfo>; 65536]>` would be better, though slightly annoying to create without accidentally creating an intermediate `[Option<QueryInfo>; 65536]` on the stack. (`vec![None; 65536].into_boxed_slice().try_into().expect("size is hard-coded to match")` is the easiest way in stable, AFAICT.)

Agree with most of what you said, except the first sentence. You sound like a physician (and I'm one too, and a data scientist). We take into account all those factors, including relevant procedures/regimens, research activities, quality measures etc. in an extremely granular, disease-specific manner. We don't survey physicians, because that is easily manipulated and it's subjective. Instead, we model nationwide referral network to discover authorities. Thanks for feedback.
