Hey HN! Author here. Some friends and I have been very inspired by the milliondollarpage back then, and we wanted to experiment with how flexible the NFT standard for Ethereum is. So we made this as an art experiment where you can mint and alter letters spread on a grid.

It uses ERC-721, which we previously criticized for the lack of compatibility with ERC-20 (see https://blog.citymayor.co/posts/why-the-standardization-of-e...). It turns out that NFTs don't have to be fixed like baseball cards. If you have any questions on how the NFT is "alterable", or how we did this, shoot

It also makes use of the opensea NFT exchange to delegate trading to that platform.
Sigh, is that common? You just throw out a bunch of stuff into the room without knowing what you're talking about?

Even Little Boy had 64kg of highly enriched uranium. You can't just highly enrich uranium and have no one notice it.

But EVEN IF you could. Delivering a nuclear warhead is a world of difference 1945 vs. 2021. Air defense systems are massively better, so you can't just fly to chinese airspace and have them not shoot you down. You can't just build a delivery system silently without testing it that penetrates chinas S-400 without problems.

Yeah you can build something in your backyard and then where are you going to blow it up at? Japan can hardly keep chinese fishing boats out of their own waters.
Completely off-topic, but I would love a modern version of Utopia that doesn't suck :)

A quick search shows average returns across the market sit around 8-11%. If we say 5% to be conservative, 1M returns $50'000 each year. That's not bad. That's a house in a quiet neighborhood with no worries about food, or debt. You're not living without a budget, but you could live without working.

Pointless to some, I'm sure, but if they're that engaged it's meaningful to them. Viewed through that lens, then attempting to externally manipulate and cajole their conversations was never going to have a positive outcome or even impact on the rest of the userbase.
Would need to see this compared to cardiac events in unvaxed group, given Covid seems to cause many of those same symptoms. Comparing it to baseline levels from pre-covid, would be disingenuous.
My wife and I changed our last names in California when we got married.

There are quite specific rules:

The new name must be in the format {substring of original name 1}{?-}{substring of original name 2}, or you have to go through the much more arduous and expensive full name change process (though you get a 2 for 1 discount).
If only they would frame it as an environmental concern/issue as well, eg: properly dealing with e-waste. Why purchase a device that can be systematically deprecated within a short life cycle when such things can be repaired and/or otherwise be repurposed?
That's the central argument in the Church-Turing Theory isn't it? Church felt very strongly that the difference between his and his students' "elegance" and Turing's "practical" was a difference only in abstraction and that the two models were equivalent and translatable (you can write in one abstraction and convert it to the other).

That theory continues to bear fruit as the history of programming languages is almost entirely about bringing new and "better" abstractions to problems and then translating them to "dumber, more practical" machines. We have programming languages today modeled directly off the elegance of (though now sometimes still a few steps removed from being direct implementations of) the lambda calculus and mu-recursive functions, and the amazing thing is that they work great even given how "dumb" and "inelegant" our machines can be in practice.
Mortality only matters to you. Hospitalization matters to everyone.
I wonder how many of those unvaccinated people were people that for some reason could 't be vaccinated? Like immunocompromised patients that already have a higher risk of dying? This seems like an important factor?

It was the garage of Jobs’ parents, and not even that. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/dec/05/steve-woz...:

The commonly shared tale is that Apple was not only founded in the garage of 2066 Crist Drive in Los Altos, California – Jobs’s family home – but that the first Macs were designed and built in the garage as the company was bootstrapped.

“The garage is a bit of a myth,” Wozniak told Businessweek. “We did no designs there, no breadboarding, no prototyping, no planning of products. We did no manufacturing there.”

[…]

“The garage didn’t serve much purpose, except it was something for us to feel was our home,” said Wozniak. “We had no money. You have to work out of your home when you have no money.”

The Development of Language: A Critical Period in Humans
Probably because work has something to do with that meaning of life.
That figure alone is mind-bending and it's odd so many people have difficulty ingesting it.

When you have a 'highly contagious disease that kills people with compromised immune systems' (aka the sick and recovering, aka most people in hospitals) - the healthcare system is going to be materially degraded.

Each one of those 300 000 surgeries has an impact on someone's life that's not accounted for in the cost of COVID. And that's only for 10M people, it'd be almost 12M surgeries for the US overall if that ratio held.

And that's only one of the many disruptions.

After all of this has happened, it's really odd to see so many who can't seem to internalize the scope of all of this.
Oddly, perhaps, I wish programming languages would allow or require mixed brackets when working with open- and/or closed-ended ranges.
That's where I disagree. Your expected value on buying A is (probability A is implemented) * (true(A) - market_value(A), and similarly for B, because your receive zero return if the thing you bet on is not implemented. Thus, even if A is badly mispriced, you may not want to buy it if it has very low probability of being implemented.
Yo, do you play Supreme Commander? I think I saw someone with your username on FAF...
Yes, what is the the overall mortality rate for vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. Ballpark estimates looking at the vaccination rate over time, it seems like vaccinated people had almost double the mortality rate of unvaccinated.

Vaccinated are less likely to die of Covid-19, but more likely to die? Not very reassuring.

While I both love it and need exactly what it provides, I have to say I felt very disappointed when I clicked the CTA with a windows icon only to be greeted by a notice that it just isn't there yet.

Would it be possible to communicate this by disabling the button and adding some kind of "coming soon" messaging straight to its right?
Same here. None of the data feels quite transparent. There seems to be a major taboo around supposing that beyond the R0 value which tends to overwhelm local hospitals during outbreaks, covid is actually not a serious concern for the vast, vast majority of <50, not obese/overweight people.

And I recently discovered that the reporting of overwhelmed hospitals is somewhat misleading as well, as in the US hospitals typically operate at 80-90% capacity for financial reasons, especially ICU wings which are expensive to upkeep on standby. So when the news reports that hospitals $CITY are overwhelmed, that's can be as little as ≈10% increase in patients.

If anything good comes of covid, hopefully we can see some effort to improve surge capacity in the US, but I'm not holding my breath.
This kind of generalizing is a slap in the face of many nations that are predominantly white but have never colonized any country.

Yes. For those at risk, a booster seems like an excellent idea. Hopefully there aren’t any downsides to widespread rollout. Downsides being ade or the increase in vaccine evasive variants. For the latter of those I am more concerned about waning efficacy than a booster, but who knows. It’s all one big messy experiment.

That's far less extreme than you think- different states have different rules about if/when/where/how much under 18 year olds can work. I was able to get a job working as lifeguard for the school district at 15 in my home state. In others states that would have been illegal until I was 16.

There is a big problem with groups based solely by age; in truth, if you are metabolically unhealthy, either by diagnosis or have a suspicion you might be (if you're living a typical western lifestyle, chances are you are - 88% of american adults are metabolically unhealthy, look it up), and unwilling to make the necessary lifestyle changes, there is a possibility that vaccination might benefit you, but even there there is a spectrum, with factors increasing such as taking medication, being chronically stressed/depressed, not sleeping well, etc.

All in all, what I wanted to say is that the message to the masses is intentionally or not simplified, and it hides the nuances that everyone should apply to themselves. In my case, I have made drastic changes to better my health after a diagnosis of severe autoimmune illness more than a decade ago, and today am in much better health than I was then, so I have no benefit to expect from taking the vaccine.
The sad thing is that I've seen numerous comments here saying (of this and other situations), "Well, Apple offered him/them some money for it. They should have just taken the money", and that, to them, completely justifies it.

Not to mention at this point zero evidence there's any connection between those alleged deaths and any vaccine. After all, it's a regular thing for people to die of heart disease.
Yea but if your cleaners left the house unlocked they're liable for the damage.

But anyway, I wasn't talking about who's liable, I was simply stating the fact that those developers were criminally negligent.
Is this any more helpful than saying "throw away your iPhone" or "uninstall Windows"? For the record, I fully agree that Facebook is poisoned, but frankly this is true of any company with a board of shareholders. The vast majority of people just don't care, like how we failed to get America to care about recycling. Habits, vices and consumerism are what drive this machine, even the VC one that funds the very website we use to discuss this stuff. I reckon the majority of users are just fat and happy, with no real incentive to leave. That's how TikTok and Twitter have stayed successful, though it's often at the cost of the user.
Or did you really mean die, die, DIE? :)
> Facebook is trying to fix an algorithm that can't possibly work, because it has two opposing jobs, increase time spend on the platform and at the same time it has to downplay the content people engages with the most.

Would it be fair to say they're trying to increase time spent by existing users on the site? Does Facebook have such a huge number of users there's no growth from building a better product? I personally think the product is awful.

I have an account, but I only log in often enough to keep it active. If I had a nice, reverse chronological feed of things posted (not shared) by my friends I would read it.

Maybe the subset of people like me is too small to worry about, but there's definitely some of us where the current algorithms work against engagement.

I am looking forward to get everybody else vaccinated before I am getting 3rd dose.

Any dose is best spent vaccinating an unvaccinated person, even if looking from a purely selfish point of view of already vaccinated population.

There is also still a lot of people that can't get the vaccine in less developed countries.
It's the same old joke/complaint about the comment sections on other large, general audience sites (Youtube, news sites, etc.) The same old gag about "never read the comments section!" applies.

Once a social platform goes from "chatting with maybe a hundred friends/family max" to "basically everyone", it becomes the "comment section" for the entire region (or even the internet at large).

I use WinDbg for analyzing crash dumps and there's so much I don't understand about the process (I basically follow a step-by-step sequence I made a few years ago).

Any advice for leveling up WinDbg skills, especially as they relate to post mortem analysis? I suspect I also need to develop better assembly (or is it machine?) language skills. I'd like to learn a lot more about this stuff but resources (free or paid) are hard to find.
> We have days for LGBTQ, women, and minorities because they are historically disenfranchised groups still dealing with societally systemic problems oriented against them. That is not true of white heterosexual men.

No one even tries to defend these claims any more, they just try to get anyone who disagrees fired, expelled, or removed from social media platforms.

For example, the entire context for this discussion is the sever under representation of men on college campuses. So how can you say systemic issues never negatively impact men?

Also, it is very rare that those days ever identify specific systemic issues, with empirical evidence demonstrating them, with specific policy proposals to address them, with opportunity for debating whether those policies will actually work or have unintended negative consequences. It's pretty much exclusively moral posturing.
Depends on the demographics of who gets vaccinated and who doesn't. If the elderly get vaccinated at a higher rate, it seems normal that vaccinated people would have a higher non-covid mortality rate.

It is also not surprising if healthy people are less likely to get vaccinated.

There is, especially related to Covid: metabolic health (see https://www.unc.edu/posts/2018/11/28/only-12-percent-of-amer...), which of course correlates to immune system health. There is only one definition of physical health, and that is the proper functioning of one's bodily processes, with the functioning of the immune system as the centerpiece.

I'd say its a bit of both inspiration and motivation. That said, I think the main motivators for these kinds of idols/heroes are to craft ethical or normative stories for how people should (or shouldn't) behave as well as to assist with teaching people theories and concepts.

Learning about why correlation doesn't equal causation (and spurrious correlations) is more impactful if you also learn about Wakefield's sins at the same time. He's a villian.

Sure, I’m unhappy in this scenario, because my previous happiness was due to an information asymmetry. I don’t know how high HR is willing to go; apparently they were willing to go higher, and if I had that information I would have specified a bigger number because, while there is certainly a lower bound on numbers that make me happy, there is no upper bound.
That's a great idea. The arguments against both are nearly identical, from my perspective.

There's a big difference in these scenarios, in that the argument FOR vaccine passports is much stronger, in that the vaccines provide some level of herd immunity. There is no evidence that voter fraud is occurring at high rates in the US to have voter ID barriers (the alleged purpose, though not the true one).

Intent also matters. The intent of vaccine passports is to reinforce the importance of herd immunity, to emphasize the legitimacy of the vaccines, and to protect frontline workers. The real intent of Voter ID laws (and voter roll purging, etc) is to disenfranchise. The intent taints the process, even if some of the components are reasonable (more options for valid photo-ID, more rigorous proof-of-residence rules, and more careful record keeping, etc).
How can we be 18 months into a global pandemic and so many people still not understand that diseases are contagious and “healthy” people who manage to avoid dying from the disease still spread it and also take away healthcare resources from other people who need treatment for any number of injuries and maladies?
Personally surviving is only one of the reasons you should get vaccinated. It also helps reduce the prevalence of covid in the community in general, which will prevent other people from dying, not just the person who is vaccinated.

This is the same thing with wearing masks... you can't just look at the effect on the person wearing the mask, but also on other people around them.
