"good" implies there is a "bad", but both are subjective... for whom?

I thought the same about Google Bot scraping websites, many websites would argue that this is universally good. In fact at Cloudflare the Google Bot was on a system wide allow list as it was "good" (in the older and now long deprecated original system years ago).

But "good" from one perspective isn't "good" from all perspectives, it's subjective.

Google Bot isn't good to the site that contains private information and launched too early and didn't yet have it's security in place and was scraped and the private exposed.

Bots are just machines, and machines aren't "good" or "bad", the actions they perform aren't even "good" or "bad"... it remains relative to each person as to whether they are good or bad.

Even with bots on Twitter, for some any bot is bad, or advertising bots are good, or they're bad. Creating the idea of a "blue tick for automated accounts" doesn't seem like the smartest move and just brings in the same problem that the blue tick has with humans.

I'm glad they're thinking about the problem, but a binary solution to a subjective and relative problem feels more like a regression than a step forward.

Calling this "known" bots would be a better thing, especially if tools to filter tweets by specific known bots existed.
I read an interesting article a while back, which asked... why were so many of the doctors in Nazi Germany willing to engage in sterilizing mentally deficient people, and other atrocities?[1]

The answer was because, healthcare was viewed as a collective good. Doctors did not treat a patient for their own benefit, they treated a patient for society's benefit.

And I see echoes of that here.

It seems most "UX" tends to be less about the user and more about exposing the product.

One example is the pause screens in Netflix and other streaming services. I sometimes want to pause the screen to read a letter or examine easter eggs left by the movie producers. I can't do that, as Netflix has a semi-transparent overlay with lots of unnecessary graphics and voting buttons.

Half the screen is also covered with the logo and/or poster from the movie I'm currently watching... as if I need to know?

They could at least provide an option to remove the graphic if you actually want to look at the paused movie.

Do you have a source that natural immunity is superior to vaccine-induced? Last time I checked studies showed that at least for the mRNA vaccines two shots was superior to natural immunity, as was natural immunity + mRNA booster shot.

This is not surprising and in line with many other infectious diseases, see e.g. [1].

I only read the term "gold standard immunity" in a US context and it's almost always politically charged.

Strikes against hardened ICBM silos are low altitude airbursts (optimum between accuracy and required overpressure). Ground penetrating bunker busters are not used against silos. The source you site makes really weird assumptions about US and China using ground bursts. Probably based some kind of misunderstanding.

The US, China and Russia have capital command bunkers that survive even ground penetrating nuclear strikes.

Exactly the comment I was thinking about. The price of education in the US is quite high and with programs like this you cement this circumstance while penalizing everyone not working for Amazon since universities will ensure the educational product you receive aligns with requirements of Amazon and form students in accordance to that.

liberal or not you can express your expectation in a well defined manner. As to "then what" its up to you, i'd go with some 4XX ( or other technology specific error) that implies that no processing has occured.

All arguments for and against schemas in databases translate well to this case.
There are things you cannot accept. What do you do if an order has a negative quantity, if you get a string instead of a number, if a value does not fit in your DB column, etc ?

Having this as part of your interface definition, along with generated representations of the possible data in the language your choice[0] and automatic (so you can't forget it) validation that rejects invalid input with HTTP 400 bad request instead of 500 internal server error when the DB constraint fails (or even worse, you persist invalid data and something breaks later) is definitively useful.

That said, OpenAPI fails at this somewhat as the people writing the spec don't consider the (de)serialization and validation libraries. Thus, OpenAPI keeps adding features/constraints that are not supported by the libraries and are thus cannot be automatically validated or even produce nonsense output on generation (e.g. in Java you might end up with raw Map or even Object fields)

Without vaccine/lockdowns and too many people in need of hospitalization would it still be 99%?
Fair enough. I retract that sentence.

There is a tradeoff, to be sure. The same property that allows glossy screens to reject sunlight better - preservation of high angular frequency - causes a visible signal (reflections of objects). This signal is more easily disentangled from the image on the screen than a uniform raising of the noise floor, but some no doubt find it more distracting.

JavaFX is really under-rated. The primary argument against it being pushed by JetBrains seem to be related to exotic text rendering features, and/or bugs. OK, well, it sounds a lot easier to do some targeted upgrades there than throw it all out. The core tech is really solid. It's been neglected in the past few years but desktop tech doesn't change that fast. Throwing out a toolkit designed for complex desktop apps and trying to adapt a mobile toolkit doesn't seem likely to lead to better results.
A yes. Because things like "integer" totally need to be abstracted away into another schema. Couldn't have given this DSL built-ins for the things that are... you know... built into JSON already.

Also bonus points for the apparent lack of shorthands, turning this language into a verbose word salad. I hope there's at least a line of reasoning that explains why some keys are prefixed with '$' and others aren't.

Great way to turn something as beautifully simple as JSON into something abhorrent.

Step by Step

1. Make a budget.

2. cut everything that is not essential.

3. Put your savings in stable dividend paying stock. This will generate passive income for you.

4. start selling digital goods, like courses, merchandising etc. Checkout Wholesale Ted on youtube for ideas. this has low bar for entry but will generate small to if you are good at doing your due dilligence large sums of money.

5. Just reinvest everything you earn under a year or 2-3 in to more dividend stocks.

6. Make sure to diversify your portfolio. Don't have more than 10% of your portfolio in one stock. If it tanks you do not loose to much.

7. I don't touch crypto since I don't like the volatility and uncertainness of it. But if you want to make money with pattern trading and day trading, then this might be a good start. Don't expect or aim for huge 20%+ gains. Aim for 1-3% gains and do several smaller trades, that way you don't run the risk of loosing everything if a trade goes south on you and you end up owing money.

Good luck..

Concur with this recommendation. Coincidentally, I started this project just recently, having really enjoyed completing Make a Lisp [0] a couple of years ago, and now needing something to do while I recover from a medical condition. I'm really impressed with Nystrom's writing style and Interpreter development process.

My long term goal - which should keep me going for absolutely ages - is to use something like Nystrom's byte-code virtual machine as a basis for having another go at MAL. I completed MAL using C#, and am currently using Visual Studio / C# to complete Nystrom's stuff (rather than the Java / C combo that he uses). But I'm just about to restart Nystrom using a different language (again, perhaps Rust) to give myself more of a challenge.

In my opinion Monads at this point should be considered a beginner Haskell concept.

Regardless of how LYAH chooses to order things, (when have you used a Zipper last time?), they are too essential to any beginner Haskell program.

In my opinion we need a new imperative first approach to Haskell teaching, to develop intuition on monads quickly.
afaik there is no integer type in json but a numeric type, and most languages do have different numeric types.
> Do you have a source that natural immunity is superior to vaccine-induced? Last time I checked studies showed that at least for the mRNA vaccines two shots was superior to natural immunity, as was natural immunity + mRNA booster shot.

From this recent study out of Israel: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v...

SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant (P<0.001) for symptomatic disease as well. When allowing the infection to occur at any time before vaccination (from March 2020 to February 2021), evidence of waning natural immunity was demonstrated, though SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees had a 5.96-fold (95% CI, 4.85 to 7.33) increased risk for breakthrough infection and a 7.13-fold (95% CI, 5.51 to 9.21) increased risk for symptomatic disease. SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees were also at a greater risk for COVID-19-related-hospitalizations compared to those that were previously infected.

To be clear, the study here is talking about immunity 6 months after a final dose. It appears that at least for the Pfizer vaccine, immunity against infection and even symptomatic disease decays fairly rapidly after a couple months. At that time it still appears effective at preventing severe disease and hospitalization, though we might also expect that to decay over the next few months (too early to know).

Natural immunity decays too, but not nearly as rapidly per this study.

Carriers are already obsolete in a superpower war. Both sides possess weapons that can destroy them utterly from a great distance, and their location cannot be kept secret. Carriers won't last a day.
> Nuclear weapons need to be dismantled or stored in neutral territory in case we encounter belligerent aliens.

Lifeforms able to travel the universe are unlikely to be vulnerable to our nuclear weapons in a significant way. They might just not care about us and eat our sun. Or they might infect our planet with their spores.

The idea that space-faring aliens would be at a comparable technological development to our species has no base. That we would have a chance to respond to an attack is even more remote. It just makes for a story we can respond to emotionally, which is why these stories are told. Hoarding nuclear weapons for for such an occasion would be like goat-sacrifices to the gods.

That's what health insurance is for. If this was being driven by some sort of rationality, health insurers would just (be allowed to) increase premiums for people who don't take the vaccine. That would force people to properly calculate the true staffing needs imposed by them and pass the costs on to the right people.

This type of mandate does the opposite. Probably because, if you look at the actual risks and data from other countries, the difference in sickliness between the vaccinated and unvaccinated is sufficiently small in absolute terms, and the level of staffing at hospitals assuming healthcare workers are not forced out of their jobs sufficiently good, that the relative cost increase wouldn't work as a form of coercion. And it's now all about the coercion, not about health.
> Is that a fact? That's news to me.

Yes, it is. Insults and defamation are pretty common law-problems in Germany, because of which most people are rather careful in what they say about specific people. Basically, if they have power or money, don't trigger them, because the one paying will likely be you at the end. Though, Online this again a bit different, as many people have not much awareness about legal situation there, and law enforcement was a bit lax. This changed with new laws recently.

Jacobson v. Massachusetts was a case about smallpox vaccination. For context, smallpox kills about 30% of those who are infected and the vaccine is so effective that the disease has been completely eradicated. Covid-19 is a lot less deadly than that and all indications are that the vaccine for it isn't remotely as effective at preventing infection and spread.
The same could be said of the US. I'd even go as far as saying it is historically worse in the US.
Ask HN: Am I too cynical for my own good? (question about unicorns)
How does a start-up, in a mature market, with no discernible tech advantage and very few customers command a billion pound valuation?

For example this week Marshmellow, which is an "insurtech", raised $85 million valuing the company at $1.25 billion.

This is interesting as in Britain (where third party car insurance is a legal requirement), online car insurance isn't new. I've managed our families car insurance online for at least a decade.

We have several big players Admiral, AXA, Direct Line who seem to offer a similar service, regularly innovate products and have millions of policies, compared to Marshmellows 100k.

Mashmellow's press release makes vague claims about "using a wider set of data points and clever algorithms" which surely any half-decent VC can see right through?

I routinely read about these valuations and shrug my shoulder and ask "why?". Am I too cynical? Should I just shut up, create my own company with a bunch of meaningless buzzwords and become a billionaire founder myself?
Consider chess. How much can I claim that "I won the chess championship" if I use stockfish to play in my stead? True, in a pedantic fashion, I am the one who booted stockfish up so in a way I contributed to my matches, but this isn't a measurement of my chess skill. I cannot claim that I am good at chess because I hired someone else to play for me, and the same is true when I relegate my options to an artificial intelligence.

Now take that into Twitter context. Can you claim that "I am a good tweet author" when I'm not the one who decides what's written on my feed but someone else? Can you even claim that you interacted with me personally at all?

I'd like to offer a contrasting opinion to all of the other currently negative comments: I've used JSON schema in the past to validate outside input and it was a pleasant and straightforward experience.

Pardon my layman ignorance. When the particles pop in and out of existence, how does mass manage to remain the same? Or does mass keep changing and is not fixed quantity but rather a range?

And what do come out of, and where do they go?
It's actually very easy to do that, for example:

Murder: People lose the freedom to murder people, but gain the freedom to not be murdered. American society considers taking the first freedom away to result in better society overall. Germany does the same.

Insults: People lose the freedom to insult other people, but gain the freedom not to be insulted. German society considers taking away the first freedom to result in a better society overall. Americans take the opposite side here.

See, it's actually not at all a naive question of "who has more freedom", because each side can be argued to be more free than the other. Ultimately, it comes down to what choice results in a 'better', more livable society.

Germany and the US simply make different tradeoffs.
