One item never covered is "infection." What is infection? Seems like this wouldn't be a binary thing? What would your protection be like if you had the vaccine and then got infected? How many people get infected but show no symptoms because they received immunity from an earlier infection? If I were infected in the 1st wave, how likely would it be that I would be infected in every wave since?
awesome that its open source. i wonder which pieces were the hardest to source!
There is a simple way to explain why going to Spotify was not good for Joe Rogan: It doesn't solve a problem.

If Joe wanted to make more money and build influence, he would be much better off doing that by staying on YouTube; he'd have infinitely more options. Now, all he can do is Spotify. "Exclusive", in this case, is not a good thing.

The other dilemma is that the short clips still shared on YouTube (to entice you to come over to Spotify) are by definition already the best parts of the interviews. They wouldn't use the worst bits for that.
What about non-technology? I recently started learning guitar and it gives me the same buzz I remember getting from learning Rails a decade ago.
That would be a start, but not enough. The larger problem is that it costs money to run a university and UC system has most students on discounted tuition. So they need to find money somewhere. You can have less students at twice the tuition, but that’s not a solution.
I've been making a big stink about it. I switched to Signal for my iMessage buddies and that seems to be sticking.

The more people seen visibly taking proactive steps to create privacy, the better.
HN has always had a share of this kind of stuff, especially around Apple.

However I agree that this time it seems different. I don’t know if it is because this topic is genuinely more complex than than most. I suspect that is part of it.

Very sorry to hear of your loss. Losing a parent is tremendously difficult. I hope you and your family are doing alright in a difficult time.
You're only looking at "protection". It's not just about that individual. That's only half the story. Transmissibility is the other half.

Think about it this way: if we could tell already-vaccinated people to get COVID for extra reduction of transmissions (!), we would do that too. For obvious reasons, we don't do that. But this clearly doesn't apply in the reverse direction!
"quitting is not an option" is one of the best definitions of burnout that I've ever seen.

Are you trying to say that we need a cheap reliable anti-bodies test?
The maximum base pay is $160k for the highest roles (all roles in fact). Their revenue per employee is $300k. that's the 0.55.

The parent poster is saying that in the past the top earning employees had a base pay that exceeded the revenue per employee. Since the revenue per employee number is averaged across all employees, it could still be profitable to employ someone for more than that if the value they provided was higher still
Stop keeping your needs of a computer locked behind service agreements.
I don't know... I have a really hard time getting too upset about this. I'm a big proponent of privacy and have always been a Snowden supporter. And while "protecting children" is a trope in politics, I think everyone with an iPhone knows they're giving up some privacy to own one. It's constantly tracking their location and sending other data to Apple.

This isn't a government agency. Apple has been incredibly thoughtful about privacy in the past, and I feel like they've earned the benefit of the doubt here.

I hope I'm not wrong, but I don't see how this is insane. They're just making sure the files you upload to them aren't illegal.
Those healthy individuals who can survive infection will gain nasal/mucosal immunity in upper respiratory system, which is not available via blood/serum antibodies from an intramuscular, non-sterilizing vaccine.
Can we just start building facilities to test this at scale based on targeted taxes.
Worst case scenario is that we learn how to do a better job at improving our planet...
If it works and it's economical there's no reason to think that you couldn't build 30,000 of them. I would expect that the people who only care about profits to quickly allocate capital to this endeavor (if it's profitable) up until the point where diminishing returns makes it less profitable. Hopefully that doesn't happen until we're slowly decreasing CO2 versus slowly increasing.

Even just cutting the growth rate by half would do a lot, and it would give international bodies like the UN some footing to establish a carbon price. Right now the carbon market is highly illiquid; nowhere near enough people are able to manufacture credits. If you could guarantee that it's always possible to make more credits that changes the political and perhaps even economic dynamic.
Rogan doesn't think either of those things, and really never the latter. It seems like you're basing all this on some outdated 2nd-hand source rather than actually listening to his podcast. And yes he's also fluid on views but stable on his values, like most people. That's how you can have hours of conversation instead of devolving into a heated debate, and maybe even share some knowledge by the end.

The more you claim to be the one to take seriously, the less serious anyone will want to take you. Especially if you do it in a negative fashion blocking others rather than putting out your own message. There's far more to influence, trust, and authenticity than claiming you're right or deducing everything to some rational puzzle, and perhaps that's the biggest lesson of all.

Do you mean that both the state and corporations will make you a generous gift of privacy? Right when it goes against their best interest of grabbing more power and profit?

Nope.

If you want privacy, like any other rights, you will need to fight for them. Rights can only be gained by a fight; whatever is given is a privilege, which is often taken back as easily as is granted.

So be prepared to (continue to) fight for your rights: in courts, in Congress, etc, but also by choosing less convenient, less featureful, more expensive devices and software which does not violate the rights you care about. And no, the majority of the consumers won't care until you show some signs of winning.
Yes - that's a pretty good way of putting it. Holter monitors are only single lead, but otherwise yes!

In fairness, schools spend approx $14k per student per year. So, your spend numbers are not far off. Unfortunately, even with that level of spend, school teachers are not paid nearly as much in salary! Of course there are many other inefficiencies that need improvement as well. But I know you already know that.

I like how you approach this though!
Being able to update the secondary device (with or without bugs) independent of the tv screen is a better upgrade path.

'Nevermind' Baby Spencer Elden Sues Nirvana, Kurt Cobain Estate
This all sounds like stuff that's not in the law, but seems like "common sense" to some people and not others.

The rights you take for granted are not permitted to workers, even when the law says so, everybody assumes stockholders have.

Look at GameStop and its followers. It was selling "Blue", that is, video games in stores, and some weirdos on reddit became obsessed, caused a short squeeze, or so the myth goes, and some of them had strong opinions that the company should and could totally pivot to some sort of completely different business that's substantially online. That is, "Yellow".

So if shareholders can engage in that sort of activity, why not a union? And if a union can, then surely the law requires that people be able to do it whether or before there is an official union; the whole point is to enable and protect collective action.

"employees do not in fact generally have the equivalent of first ammendment rights at work"

Ok, but nobody said they did - they have specific rights from a different source.

Sometimes companies, even large or long-lived ones, do have to totally change their business. I forget which one it was, but there was one of those snack cake/junk food companies that went bankrupt a while ago. Ideally, management and workers would find a way together to save things. When a company goes down the toilet like that, management usually blames the union, so it would be perverse to declare that in general, the workers need to stfu and gbtw instead of having opinions on the business.

Do you _really_ thing the OP didn't know that???
Here's something that rubs me the wrong way whenever I see it: a senior leader tells their story in a way that makes her current or former employer look like total idiots. If they meant to do that, fine - everyone has an axe to grind. But I am actually not sure they even realize they are doing it.

How many times have we read an article that goes like this: "when I started at X, everything was a mess. I quickly turned things around by doing Y." Well the CEO who hired you at that company now looks like an idiot, and their board of directors is quickly taking notes. You took credit by making someone else look bad. Was that really necessary to get to the point you're trying to convey?

The reality is that the CEO built something out of nothing, and prioritized certain tasks (eg: PMF) while deprioritizing others (eg: the company's expense policy). Eventually there was enough money in the bank for the company to afford a $300k/year hire, who then paid back the administrative debt. How you paid back that debt is orders of magnitude less heroic than how the CEO got to the position of being able to afford your salary in the first place.

I really wonder if all those later-stage senior leaders could be that tone-deaf, or if they are throwing their CEOs under the bus on purpose.
From what I understand, Netflix always intended to get into streaming. The DVD by mail thing was just a stopgap while the technology improved.
Apple has through side channels leaked iCloud is the largest open host of CSAM among big tech. It's the only large provider that hosts images that doesn't automatically scan. The only difference is Apple wants to do it while leaving your photos in the cloud encrypted. This isn't rational, it's an anti-Apple culture war position.
Youth mentorship program looks to put kids on the right path
Didn't follow Rogan but have experienced a similar thing with other podcasts. I like a majority of the episodes, but I wouldn't go listening week after week powering through meh bits in hope to find the interesting nuggets.

Having an algorithm filtering the feed is a god send, hopefully both for me and for the author, who in theory gets more leeway to try different kind of stuff and see what sticks.
Time has proven otherwise. All censorship systems start with protecting the kids, and grow to eventually encompass all undesirable content…
One challenge in fields where rapid advancements in tech are likely is that it can often not pay to deploy the first generation of something; if the second generation will arrive soon enough and be 25% better, building the first generation could be entirely wasteful. (Assuming you can learn enough in the lab to inform building the second generation at scale.)

IMO sabbaticals should totally not be introduced.

I know they sound awesome. But why do some companies introduce them? What are you suggesting introducing them for? To combat burnout. I.e. hopefully shortly before someone really burns out or most probably after they burned out already and need recovery they can go on a sabbatical.

How about not doing 80 hour weeks in the first place? How about not using arbitrary deadlines and throwing a fit over minor delays or changes to the plan? How about not doing all the crazy preventable things and pawing it off on other people.

I know, might be too much to ask so to speak but I really wish that more people would just not take this abuse instead of asking for a sabbatical to recover from the abuse.

Anyway, my $0.02.
Yes. As result of them getting caught hiding it and being sued.

Yeah this is at least a rational viewpoint. You have beliefs and preferences, and under those beliefs and preferences you are better off without targeted ads.

Unfortunately most other arguments against targeted ads don't have these properties and just restate the arguers convictions in various ways, with increasing levels of anger and certainty.

It's also illegal to operate a meth lab in your basement, but the government would still be required to have probable cause to grant a warrant to look in your house without your permission. You don't start with the premise that everyone is doing illegal things and must prove otherwise, which is what this system assumes.

Your argument of it being a moral requirement is dubious. If you really wanted to stop CSAM why not we all live in glass apartments like in Zamyatin's We? To what extent would invading your privacy be acceptable to you if it means we could stop some or even all CSAM distribution and production? Once you decide that it's a moral imperative then you accept that any erosion of privacy in the interest of saving the children isn't off the table.
They can do that on their servers, not on my phone.
I stopped work on a memo app. Was piggybacking on Apple's branding around privacy. Am going to wait a year to see how this shakes out. Super disappointed.

> Few people who clamor for crypto have good reasons to use it other than [...] "I wanna do this stuff without being tracked".

Why do you need more? This is a perfectly valid reason for cryptocurrency to exist. All digital transactions should work like physical cash. Banks and credit card companies analyzing your transactions should be literally impossible. Payment processors should not even exist much less act like the financial gatekeepers they are today.

If you use macOS, it's also in the menu bar in the View menu.

This means that you can define an app-specific keyboard shortcut in Preferences > Keyboards > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts. Then click [+] and select Chrome as the application, then type "Enter Reader Mode" (exactly like it appears in the menu, and without quotes) and choose a shortcut.

I'd also recommend adding one for "Exit Reader Mode" since the option changes to this text once you are in reader mode. You can use the same shortcut, it's fine since the two options are never present at the same time.

This works for pretty much all apps, by the way.

Hell, even enclosed devices like the iPhone still last for almost a decade. I know, I had multiples ones in use for that long. So not being able to be serviced easily probably causes fewer problems than you’d think if people held on to devices for their maximum lifespan.
This is a very well-written post. Ever since this program has been announced I have struggled with talking about the implications succinctly.

Online, I never know if an interlocutor is even arguing in good faith, but even in person it's difficult to balance talking about all the ways that the claimed safeguards are meaningless, how the benefits don't really make sense, how this is markedly different from other infringements on privacy with the need to be concise and explain that the real problems aren't just theoretical because similar invasions of privacy are killing actual people around the world already.

Anyway, I think the only practical way that this could resolve well, is if Apple saw a precipitous decline in its iCloud brand, then it could be argued that they had to abandon this plan for purely business reasons. A serious movement to abandon Apple services ($17.5B revenue in 2021 q3), might empower the people within Apple who opposed this reckless plan from the beginning.

That does seem like low pay for a master of a craft. Maybe the claimed 10-20 hour process isn't really exclusive to one sword? If similar pieces are made in batches, maybe it takes 10-20 hours to go through the steps to take a batch of several swords from raw material to completion?

As an aside, my sister studied abroad in Spain and brought me back a sword from Toledo, which to a teenage boy was basically the most amazing gift possible. Good reminder to thank her again and/or send her something fun!
OR, or, you could fail, or be not as good :D

This is a form of game theory, and I'm not joking. I find it helpful, specifically helpful against burnout.

Develop enough credentials that you've got stuff in your resume, that you ARE damn good in the areas that you 'click' with, and get some of that out there.

Then, DON'T be lofty. Maybe make the occasional lofty statement, but be self-deprecating, laugh, make fun of yourself in a way that seems incongruous. Admit that you're actually quite good, then undermine it. Call yourself out that you're a silly bozo, but you mean well, and have some good moments :)

If you're dealing with nothing but bozos who have to be snow-jobbed, this won't work but you don't want to go with them anyway: they're doomed, and they don't understand the real world.

If you're dealing with wiser people (so long as you're not too annoying about it) they'll cut you some slack but suspect that you protest too much. You must be really good to 'dress down' so ostentatiously!

If you're dealing with people way below your level, they just think you're being too humble and worship you all the more, because you seem to be capable of miracles and are clearly just not understanding how amazing you are. And then they throw money :D

It's all social engineering. Needing to be lofty is a trap. Beware the expectation of being lofty, it's not actually a great strategy :)
