Just to offset the negative comments on here, I think what you did is great! I don't think people appreciate the 1.5 years of individual effort you put into this and the demo looks like something I would find genuinely very useful. This clearly has lots of potential!

I would honestly prefer paying for it, perhaps with a cut-down free version (perhaps using cached data only?) without sign-up to try it out, so one day you can work on it comfortably and doesn't require commitment for me to try out.

However I'm sure you'll refine it in the years to come considering how well you've done so far. Keep up the good work!
Crash Bandicoot solved this problem by writing the level data in a streaming fashion, so that the CD-ROM would never have to seek while playing through a level.

Of course, the CD-ROM only spins in one direction however. Crash Bandicoot programmers solved this issue by making it impossible to run backwards in the game.

The game was basically one dimensional on purpose: you can only run forward, and never backwards, to optimize the CD-ROM bandwidth. Still, the game was groundbreaking, the gameplay and characters fresh. Its an incredible technical achievement, to the point where most people didn't even realize that running backwards was a technical hurdle they felt like not solving.
I can't think of anybody else that has Tor on their computer, or knows how to get it or whether it's safe, or why they should get it. I have had Tor on my computer for years, and I've never heard of 'The Hidden Wiki'.

On the other hand, I know people who have searched for papers and downloaded them from Scihub.

I don't think you know "the audience" for Sci-Hub. It's meant to make the content public, not free for the right people who already know tons of stuff about the dark web.
To cite Kennedy: “Are those Russians crazy? Putting missiles in Cuba is the same as if we put our missiles in Turkey”.

Nowadays those missiles are much closer to Moscow than ever before.
I don't think the average person can (or will, especially) really source reliable information on how mRNA works, let alone think through the potential risks.

It's a very technical question that involves a ton of knowledge about how our body works etc.

Despite reading up about it, I wouldn't personally feel confident enough to explain it at any level of technical detail.

I don't think we can expect the majority of people to understand it and then make decisions based on that--ever.

It's very unclear, without deep knowledge of both the vaccine tech and the virus, which time bomb is worse. I know what the experts say, and I personally believe them, but it's not surprising to me that others don't.

When politicians are the folks in charge of our personal health (to any degree), it's always going to immediately sew distrust-- as it should.
> Do you have any evidence that this was the reason for the claims?

This was said by all health officials around January-March 2020. After the stock issue got solved masks suddenly magically became effective for everyone around the summer time. As a "regular person" who took both vaccine shots and is casually observing these developments without reading news or whatever, that single event showed me that governments don't give a shit about telling us the truth in a crisis.
One theoretical objection to this idea is that distances measured have an accuracy limit of Planck length (1.616e-35 meters). So if your number needs more precision then "just mark" step can't be done.
Agreed, and IMHO inflation/deflation, for all the difficulty of measuring them, is probably the best way to know if the money supply is to high or low.

This is also why I think Bitcoin rests on shaky foundations, and why I get tired of people who want a balanced federal government spending budget.

> It doesn’t make sense. It’s like saying that the concept of dispatching taxis with a computer is not capable of being profitable.

If that’s all you are doing, then yeah, that’s probably not profitable because competition would just eat your margins. You’re essentially a broker matching drivers with passengers, and they can use any service they want. They will choose the one with the lowest cost to use and that pays the most to serve i.e. they will use the one that leaves the least amount of profit for the broker.

Therefore Uber has to have some other value add, which will eat into profits (unclear what that could be, I think they were hoping it could be robotaxis); or, they have to spend massively in advertising to maintain mindshare, which will also eat into profits.

This is why they spend so much on advertising and expansion. They want to be the first player in town because when there are more players, it’s a race to the bottom. You can’t take out the advertising and expansion dollars and say they would be profitable without them, because those dollars are staving off competitors for as long as Uber can. Imagine a future where you have an “Expedia” of taxi services, that search dozens of providers and gives you the lowest one. That’s Uber’s future if they stop their spending.

The question of profitability then becomes: how can Uber justify its existence while staving off competitors, and can they manage this before going under? Maybe given an infinite time horizon and infinite VC cash, Uber could be profitable one day, but for now I don’t think it’s clear they are or will be soon.
I think this is a case of to each their own.

I find hooks provide a far more declarative, testable, predictable developer experience. The simplicity of useEffect, useCallback, useRef, etc. makes it so I know exactly what I need to reach for when I need to accomplish certain things.

It can get complex, but I find that usually means you need to back off and rethink things.

> Binary libraries are fully supported in Rust, via the C ABI. You can provide a higher-level interface via a wrapper crate.

I've never seen this in the wild and to be honest, it seems massively inconvenient to write a library, create a C-compatible interface for it (meaning you lose out on most benefits of Rust's type system), and then write a wrapper for said C-like API to regain type/memory safety and abstraction power. The killer is that you lose the ability to use traits in the interface between, which idiomatic Rust heavily relies upon.

Yup. This whole case is a great argument for unions. It would have been a good test of the Google union if it had happened there.

I mean, when I'm looking for something specific on YouTube from my desk, I agree. When I'm in bed watching it on my TV, not so much.
I worked at a company that blocked the native clients for every conference system except WebEx. The Zoom and Skype web experience was not good, particularly since all endpoints were loaded with half a dozen Infosec agents and sending all traffic through web proxies on the other coast.

Surprise, the somewhat primitive Webex offered the best experience in that scenario and vendors who wanted to meet were inclined to accommodate us.
There may be situations where a mistake is understandable because it was a who-would-have-thought situation, but on this scenario an effort is required to shoot yourself in the foot.

This is like saying it's impossible to build a water pump without solving the quantum mechanical interactions that govern water flow.
I'd agree if we were talking something akin to choosing not to take insulin even though you can easily afford it or refusing to treat an easily treatable cancer.

If you catch covid, there is a good chance you'll pass it onto others, unlike the previous maladies. And that is a real problem: Some of those people will die, most will pass on the virus to others, and a good number of folks wind up in the hospital.

And that's happening so much that folks are dying from non-covid things as well.

Pretty much, if you choose to die from Covid, you are going to take others down with you.
I disagree. I use both Stripe and Paypal and Stripe is not just "better documentation". The APIs are far more reliable and stable, customer support is better with Stripe (in my experience) and overall, it is very friendly to developers. Paypal could HAVE eaten Stripe for lunch but considering their shitty way of doing things, they never bothered to improve. They are the incumbent but Stripe is far better.
You don’t, like you’re not supposed to lead war on drugs. It’s a battle against the symptoms not the cause.

> Even Pfizer’s own RCT showed no benefit for all cause mortality at six months

There are countries that have had Pfizer rollouts to millions of people over the last 8 months ( 1) . If this were true in the real world, the excess mortality would have shown up in the real-world data by now. It has not. it's rubbish. You tout this false and trivially falsifiable "fact" repeatedly. Quit it.

Closing schools and so forth was part of the flatten-the-curve effort. Really though, the CDC has been driven by the available science and by the reality of the pandemic, and when the CDC's guidance has changed it has invariably been in response to new data on COVID or to changing conditions (e.g. community spread, N95 mask availability, new variants).

It is overly generous to speak of "one side" as if there is another equally valid side to compare with. The CDC is not a political institution and they always cite published research in their guidance and public statements about COVID-19. The anti-mask/anti-vax crowd are going around spreading one fantasy after another, coming up with new and ever more outrageous conspiracy theories and excuses for refusing to cooperate; none of their claims have ever been based in reality, and that is why the story changes on a daily basis and why there are so many contradictory claims being made.

To put this in perspective, the high-level direction of the CDC's guidance has, since the very beginning of the pandemic, been to reduce the rate at which COVID spreads; the changes in their guidance have been about the details. The anti-mask/anti-vax crowd has gone from denying that there is a virus to saying that the virus is no worse than the flu to claiming that masks would suffocate them to whining about how mask mandates violate to their freedom and that they would rather die of COVID than comply with a mask mandate. They went from heaping praise on the last President simply because he was in office when the vaccines were first becoming available to complaining that the current President was being given too much credit for the vaccination effort to claiming that the vaccine is made from aborted fetuses, that the vaccine alters DNA, that Bill Gates inserted microchips into the vaccine, that the vaccine causes people to become magnetized, and that vaccine mandates are proof that the vaccine is the "mark of the beast."

Art doesn't suddenly stop being art.
I think what you are saying is if people stop discussing a thing then it stops becoming art.
Art doesn't require making conversations about art richer. If that were true, the Mona Lisa would still be at because we still discuss it as art.
But art is still art, even if people stop talking about it.
And if a learned person days it isn't art, it probably isn't art.
Steve Jobs emails Eric Schmidt (2007)
This was a nice article, but I’m not sure the title is representative of its contents. I think the first (Keep your users in the loop, always. Do not go build in isolation) or second to last (A user's workflow is everything ) bullet the author uses for their summary is findings to be more enlightening and representative.

Internal tools definitely require a close relationship with some set of users to really validate what’s being worked on.
It’s just too easy for teams to make unused internal tools. The feedback loop is generally just not there initially. You really have to go and find some users. In this way it’s similar to pre-seed stage startup life.
> See also: displaying unfinished sketches.

Depending on the artist and the sketch, I'm quite happy to see it also. Sketches can provide a lot of super interesting context about other works. And sometimes they're quite good by themselves.

There's also no "value" in watching, say, Novak Djokovic practice his serves. Unless you care about tennis, in which case you'd probably watch with rapt attention.

Same thing, basically, for sketches by good and/or important artists.
Exactly! AI, there's your goal, now bridge that gap.

Even non-ML software is capable of surprising its designers with so-called "emergent behavior" so creativity is possible.

Just let people sign a waiver stating they willingly decided to not get vaccinated, and forego treatment at hospitals for any covid-related complications. Problem solved.
Even if you are eventually proven correct (vaccinated putting pressure on the virus to get more dangerous), I think your personal decision to favour personal health to public health is the correct one. Everybody should primarily watch their own interests and their own health.

On the other hand, public policy leading to creation of more dangerous viruses would be a disaster and if that happens, it should be stopped.
It's not a binary thing... Vaccines make it significantly less likely that you will be infected, or if you are infected that you will develop the viral load necessary to be infectious, or if you are infectious, the period of time you are infectious for will be much shorter. At each step along the way the vaccine makes less likely that the vaccinated individual will infect someone else.

It makes it sufficiently less likely that if everyone was vaccinated, each infected person would, on average, go on to infect less than one other person, and the pandemic would end. The more people who are vaccinate, the lower that average of "people that get infected by each infectious person" goes. That is why vaccinations are important to everyone, not just the individual who is vaccinated.

I don't use twitter, but would love to see related reddit threads.
I disagree strongly with the action being taken here, but like your parent commenter, I don't get the consternation about their ability to take that action. I think that the first amendment guarantees both freedom of speech and of association to private entities, and that this is no more or less than a private entity exercising those exact rights.

If you want to nationalize all social media and force it to be a public square, that's fine, we can have that conversation. But that's not what people generally argue for, they instead expect private entities to be themselves subject to the requirements of the first amendment. But that isn't how it works. And I think that is a good thing, even when I disagree with the outcome.

I don't know, I never had an issue with that point. "Flatten the curve" is alright, but then what? It would be stupid to "flatten the curve" for a while, then call "mission accomplished" and pretend covid is over if that causes the situation to immediately go critical again.

So far the playbook seems to have been:

1) Flatten the curve: Use lockdowns, masks and social distancing measures to maintain a situation where hospitals can still cope. This is not a one-time goal, it's an ongoing effort: As long as there was no vaccine, "no significant transmission right now" does not mean everything is back to normal - because if measures are lifted, transmission can quickly increase and become critical again.

2) Because the situation in 1) seriously sucks for everyone, try to come up with solutions to end the pandemic permanently (or at least make it permanently nonthreatening for the health system so we can leave "pandemic mode" and treat it as an ordinary disease). So far the most obvious strategy for this is vaccination - hence the increasing push to get everyone vaccinated.

3) Evolutionary pressures on the virus might cause the vaccines to become less effective. This unfortunately calls into question whether 2) is really able to bring an end to the pandemic. If this is really the case, then new plans are needed, such as boosters, new vaccines, I don't know. This stuff is currently being figured out.

1) and 2) does not seem like "moving the goalposts" to me. The goals were the same since the beginning of the pandemic, though of course the situation and circumstances were changing (you can only keep up a lockdown for so long, vaccines changed from "vague hope" to "viable strategy", etc)

3) is a new development that was apparently somewhat unexpected (I remember the virus was being talked about as relatively mutation resistant, which evidently wasn't the case.) - but this was simply new knowledge and new developments that might require a change in strategy - the overall goal to get out of this mess (by either eradicating covid or make it nonthreatening) did not change IMO.

Of course if this goal turns out to be permanently unarchievable, the goalpost shifting might start...
You are aware RabbitMQ support MQTT[0] and MQTT over WebSockets[1]?

As for comparing it to RabbitMQ you should compare the AMQP protocol vs MQTT protocol, it seems MQTT with its lightweight design "won" IoT market over and should be rather compared against protocols like CoAP.

As for guides I have always found resources rather scarce and mostly learned by adding features to mqtt libraries or writing my own prototype games using it.

The “idiots” comment refers to people who did not get the vaccine and are hospitalized with Covid. So not your friend’s mom.
FYI - These four paragraphs are identical to paragraphs from the "COVID 19 - The Spartacus Letter" PDF that has shown up on many websites.

The PDF seems to be a controversial article to both sides of viewpoints of the covid19 pandemic treatment by various governments.
So it's a white lie, at most, because he was always accurate. He stayed within the "real range" of 70-90, but he varied based on what people could tolerate hearing.

If he said 70-90%, then people may only hear 90 and think no way we'll get there. Sounds reasonable. If people hear we'll never get herd immunity due to delta and the potential for new variants, will more people get it or will it eliminate a reason for some to get it?

In what way is money not a resource at all levels?

There's a finite supply of money that can be added to, taken away, allocated, or fluctuate in its price according to any other arbitrary unit (i.e. dollars in terms of euros, or in terms of baseball cards, or pounds of steel).

Just like legal entities or "social liquidity", the supply and allocation of money is an ultimately imaginary thing that nonetheless exerts real world influence on how many other resources and products are created.
Makes sense, thanks for the answer.
