> may be in their rights to bar immune people who refuse vaccination but its plainly unscientific discrimination

We don’t have strong evidence either way. Neither choice—vaccinated only or both—is unscientific. (It is understandable that, without reliable proof, the unvaccinated would be barred.)

In any case, this is a problem we need to solve soon. The mRNA platform looks promising. We don’t want to back into a future where a diseased minority is barred from our urban cores. Particularly if they pose little risk to others.
I had heard "unlimited capacity" but they were lossy-compressing your images (not preserving RAW for example).

Ask HN: Any interest in a “what I learned being a Cannabis CEO” essay?
A dear friend of mine has been the CEO of a Cannabis company for the last while...

He is deeply experienced in the CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) market, but transitioned to Cannabis due to familial connections to a very large Legal Grow Operations in California...

He knows a LOT about the industry..

Thousands and thousands of pounds, plus running one of the few type-7 extraction facilities in CA...

He is looking toward a "Cannabis CEO In Residence" type of position... although I am not sure any such position currently exists... but it should.

(like an EIR)

He is writing an essay that will reveal a lot about the industry - would there be interest here?
From my limited point of view, interval arithmetic looks particularly wrong for everything.

It is as if we were using Bayes rule to update our knowledge of numbers after arithmetic operations (which is a good idea), but all the distributions were artificially changed to uniform after the update (which is obviously a very bad idea).

Is there any practical application where interval arithmetic makes sense?
I am an Elixir evangelist, to be clear, but it's one thing to have believers and another to change the world. I think you are right that Phoenix will eventually win the day in regards to real-time, stateful Web applications. "Traditional" REST APIs may be a harder sell, and perhaps Elixir doesn't need to eat the entire Web to considered successful. There are still many Java developers at work after all.

I am flattered to be critiqued by you!
What's the actual change here?

It seems like companies like Netflix, for instance, have been doing this for years - you can buy the service via the app store if you want, or you can buy it directly, but you can still use it either way.

Netflix contacts its users about payments via email all the time. What's new?

2. Reddit’s API as a backend is probably more promising than building something from scratch.

3. This is the real head scratcher whether it’s building it from scratch or using Reddit’s API. I don’t condone cyber bullying but with an idea like this, it seems inevitable. Probably use a combination of verification for posts (hold up a sign with username) and agreeing to some form of TOS. For the comments, it would be a bit harder to contain. But maybe some form of reporting and three strike rule. Still need more time to think on the abuse policy.
If you're investing in startups because its your hobby, as many do, no tax break is going to change that.

As for others, if you're looking for returns and have the option to be an LP in a VC, make angel investments, or just park your money in the S&P500, a few of those options look more promising. While everything does have inherent risk, it is an added benefit to angel investing that you get QSBS, while being an LP or investing in the S&P necessarily don't have the same tax benefits. Incentivizing investment in small & new businesses is probably a better thing than just having the ultra wealthy invest in AT&T.
I fully agree, I'm not blaming him.

It is interesting though that maths was taught for a 1000 years from Euclid's Elements, Euclid living approximately at the same time as Aristotle, and it is still as valid today as it was 2000 years ago but physics was taught from Aristotle's teaching and it was just bonkers. Took 1000 years for someone to finally say 'wait, something's not right'

I feel like there's a deep learning (possibly computer vision) route to this that would be extremely hard to create but would be able to arbitrage 90% of the difficulty with updating for new UIs or handling edge cases. Had you ever pursued that route or seen things that tried?
This was brought up in another part of the thread. I'm copy-pasting my reply:

---

From the RFC (emphasis added):

> The long term goal of the TUBA proposal involves transition to a worldwide Internet which operates much as the current Internet, but with CLNP replacing IP and with NSAP addresses replacing IP addresses.

[…]

In §3 Migration:

> Updated Internet hosts talk to old Internet hosts using the current Internet suite unchanged. Updated Internet hosts talk to other updated Internet hosts using (TCP or UDP over) CLNP. This implies that updated Internet hosts must be able to send either old-style packets (using IP), or new style packet (using CLNP). Which to send is determined via the normal name-to-address lookup.

So you're replacing IPv4 with something that is not-IPv4 on every router and every host. During the transition period everyone will have IPv4 and not-IPv4 addresses.

How is not-IPv4 being CLNP/NSAP any different that not-IPv4 being IPv6? What am I missing?

In §6 on DNS:

> TUBA requires that a new DNS resource record entry type ("long-address") be defined, to store longer Internet (i.e., NSAP) addresses.

Which is basically describing AAAA records.

Why do you misinform ? This discusson has already been done here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28317866

The covid vaccine works more like a laser providing immunity to a specific variant. It does not guarantee "some" immunity for the other variants. Instead new vaccines are created to target the other specific variants which is what companies like pfizer already work on by the way.
This does not make sense: floating point numbers are not really "approximate". For example, small integer arithmetic using floats is guaranteed to be exact. Your language would be very confusing for this common use case.
First - we already have extended the IPv4 address space by using + PORT in many cases (ie, running through CGNAT). So if I want to talk to another IPv4 host, we focus on IPv4+PORT, and the CGNAT's translate that to private IPv4 addresses on their local networks.

Plenty of good migration options exist(ed) that allow for each host to be single stack and still talk to each other while upgrading at different rates. The basic approach was a simpler ipv6 that didn't change all the concepts around with an ipv4 range embeded in it.

Routing then just proceeded as normal, but if an IPv6 host was trying to talk to an IPv4 host, if the next step in route was IPv4, then router drops the extra IPv6 bits (would likely have been hop before server).

Conversely, when IPv4 host is talking to an IPv6 only host, they are routing back, and then when the next link in route is IPv6 only you rehydrate the IPv4 address with the IPv6 IPv4 prefix. The IPv4 network is talking to you using IPv4+PORT. The Port is basically how we get extra address space ALREADY with IPv4 and CGNAT (but to allow transition now you map that inbound IPv4+PORT to an IPv6 address. Being smart you can actually do a predictable mapping here if you wanted).

Other little tweaks make this better - but the key is that I as an end user can go IPv6 only on my network (ideally in a more IPv4 style without the complexity).

Anyways, some networks are already converging / heading this way with things like X64LAT or whatever - allowing devices to basically see an IPv6 only world. But you are still dragging along this insane IPv6 complexity
Thanks for your response.

>It was not controversial 50, 100, or 150+ years ago to quarantine people

However there are unprecedented measures taken today. We're nearly 2 years into lockdowns. Moratoriums on rent, unemployment subsidies, massive increases in gov spending and a host of other unprecedented economic interventions.

There are debates over why the least vulnerable, healthy populations are subject to the same restrictions as the obese and elderly. If obesity is a risk factor and we have a "collective responsibility", then why hasn't the gov mandated exercise?

>At the end of the day, the harm caused by vaccination is next to 0 for almost all the population. The small percentage with adverse reactions is a small price to pay for society...

And if this were untrue, where would we see this information? Are there no other incentives we should be considering, such as the great reset, vaccine passports, digital ID, CBDCs or even vanilla economic interventions? We're dealing with a trust deficit in public figures and media institutions. It is hard to blame the cynic for previous incidents of propaganda.

> The alternative is a lot more harm that we are currently seeing from the covid deaths.

I'm not convinced a voluntary quarantine of high risk groups would be more harmful medically or economically. The response has caused incalculable economic damage and disruption of individual's lives.
Not a direct answer but a good read/overview.

Love this idea. Some quick thoughts:

1) Tool to tool choices: Many migrations involve making decisions that are judgement calls because of service inconsistency (e.g the security roles in the two systems aren't exactly the same so you have to evaluate tradeoffs in how to handle in the new one). I bet many of these 'decision points' could be a defined for particular migrations, allowing the destination service to present to their customer options with tradeoffs, and then automate the migration from there. Even more valuable than the data flowing would be being the central tool that knows about these 'choice-points' in specific migrations.

2) White labeling: a lot of B2B SaaS companies would love to offer migration services. I would have paid $ per migration for something like this if it worked.

3) Services work as needed: I still think many migrations custom work is needed. I would lean into this actually if I were you. We would have loved a trusted 3rd party that just wanted to do migrations. It was hard to get incentives aligned, though, with many systems integrators because they obviously wanted a direct relationship with the customer & hoped to sell them more stuff afterwards. If B2B companies trusted this was your specific focus you could be a better 'full service' partner across both what can be automated and what can't be.
Well almost everyone is hiring all the time, it's just a question of whether you have the skills they require in the moment, and if they have a non-zero remuneration you're willing to accept for them.

I would argue that anyone would accept unpaid volunteer work from the best minds in a given field. Starting from that assumption and working backwards is how I arrive at the original assertion.

The "almost" part is aimed primarily at regulatory limitations where volunteer work is forbidden by law.
I once fat-fingered a `rails new APPNAME` command and didn't catch it for several months. Not impossible to change, but also not really critical either.
Not bad! I also feel like it’s worth mentioning that in rust you can extend primitive types with traits. I’ve done that to add some bit-munging helpers while working on a toy Game Boy emulator to make it easier to deal with 16- and 8-bit register values like (8, 8).join() and (l, h) = 16.split().
Now you can do it too.

My experience is that the burnout and wasted time comes from all the crap that distracts from real work -- the meetings, emails, bug boards, etc. When I don't have all these things getting between me and the IDE, I'm far more productive and get a lot more enjoyment from my work. Of course, if all the crap were cut out, I'd probably be looking at two days of work per week, never mind four.
When the web was young, millions of people have learned how to type www.example.com. People would often spell out the 'http://' on the radio.

No doubt, browsers could let people type fe80::1 and make it work.

It will take a while before people are used to the double colon, etc. But it also took a while before people where comfortable typing IPv4 addresses.
Good. Too much Productivity causes cancer. :)
That's exactly it. Almost everyone in my immediate family is more concerned about getting the vaccine than they are covid. And this is AFTER someone in the family has died from it. It is extremely concerning how bad this has gotten. My own mother literally had a panic attack after getting her first shot. My kids' school administrators are making decisions based on these illogical conclusions. I have had school staff tell me that it's best that they all go ahead and get covid. They compared it to chicken pox parties from the 80s. When I mentioned shingles, they told me that was a different disease. I have an at risk child at home. My tolerance for stupidity is waning.

I'm afraid the general publicly is woefully underequipped to engage in nuanced discussions around this topic. They need simple and clear instructions.
Speaking of Tesla's share price. It has Price/Earnings (PE) ratio of 1095 while a normal ratio is around 5 to 10, perhaps around 20 for tech companies. Apple's PE is 29.

Share prices have definitely lost all sense in March 2020. One should keep that in mind when analysing the current economy.

Does this imply that a vaccine based on a weakened live virus would be better than the mRNA vaccines? Or is the level of immunity somehow dependent on having a full blown infection?

As somebody who has been mRNA vaccinated recently, should I seek out a break through infection by the Delta variant now, while my immune response is at its peak? Would that convey longer lasting immunity?

In Minnesota 645k people had covid and 7k died. In contrast 3M are vaccinated and basically nobody has died from the vaccine. In the US 363M vaccine doses have been given and about 7k may have died from vaccination side effects vs 628k who have died from covid from covid.

So the vaccine is safe and effective.

They should be giving you at least a /64 if not a /60. That way, you can have multiple subnets that are publicly addressable. The ISP should be informed they're out of best practice/RFC.

And while I get your "double" theme, most of them are non-points. Header size? Use adblock. Routes? Oh no, a residential router will now have four instead of two!

Yes, it's another addressing scheme and I agree, the benefits for many peoples' usage is low. But it isn't so bad.
Eh, call me old fashioned, but I like to vote for the people who have significant influence over the society I live in.

Politicians may not be perfect, but they’re much easier to hold to account that high net worth individuals. I personally consider that a killer feature when picking my power brokers.

We already take others people stuff for the public good. It’s called taxes. That money built the roads you use everyday and props up the society you live in by helping to ensure that everyone gets a decent quality of life.

Simple fact of the matter is that no individual has any practical use for wealth measured in billions. It’s wealth that could be better put to use help the poorest in society, and helping us navigate the next hundred years of climate change and associated social unrest.

Windows is sort of the default computer choice for a lot of normal, non-technical people, so I can understand that Microsoft wants to simplify things for them by taking some inspiration from MacOS.

The problem is that Windows is also used by many businesses, network admins, and tech enthusiasts too.

These users are in conflict.

What Microsoft should be doing in my opinion is using its Windows Home and Windows Professional packages to divide the complexity. Windows Home users can have the simplified experience, and Windows Pro users can have the full power. Wouldn't that make everybody happy?

Probably the same reason for both companies: at some point doing regression testing encompassing a decade or more of old hardware becomes untenable.

Developers are always happy when they can deprecate old systems because their new code can assume the shiny new fast hardware and full-featured API of the new OS.

QA is even happier.

When the first iPhone was announced people did complain about its lack of features (no apps? no keyboard? no stylus? no handwriting recognition?). It was a step backward in many ways for those used to Blackberry and Palm devices. However, it was the opening up of the smartphone (though was the first version really a smartphone?) market to a broader audience. It wasn't a regression of an existing Apple product (they had no product equivalent to it yet, unless you go back in time to the non-phone Newton).

Windows 11 is a continuation of an existing product and meant to replace it. Regressions (real or imagined) will get lamentations because, well, they're regressions.
Couple weeks ago I made a comment on a story pondering if a certain British tech executive had undisclosed links to the intelligence services.

The whole mentality of 996 goes back to the time when most of the jobs were manufacturing jobs. If you are a garments factory whats the simplest way to increase throughput? Well, make your workers work harder.

That doesn’t really work except for the lowest quality tier, because tired workers make mistakes, and mistakes cost time. Automate more to remove the human factor, and the remaining people need to be more focused, not less. There is a sort of maximum amount of net useful work you can get out of a person, taking into account slacking off and correcting for errors, and for most people that is not working 996.
Could very well be. And those are definitely interesting questions.

But what I find troubling is the massive extrapolation that happens next:

I'm not saying there is or there is not something wrong with CEO compensation. But doing an extrapolation to the scale of CEO pay is just nuts.
