> I'd wonder whether humiliations are the result of power shifts.

Advantages, privilege, power imbalances... All of these are at the core of humiliation. It's all about the violation of a person's sense of self. You believe you have worth but someone else comes along and strips you of it.

> the interviews with convicted muderers showed their decision to kill someone was often over a related issue of respect.

This is universal in human nature. When one person humiliates another, consequences are likely. Even in civilized society, there are consequences. They just tend to be more formal and indirect. They come in the form of simple exclusion from a group, not being elevated for a prestigious position, trials at a court of law, things like that. In less civilized circles, people are held accountable for their words and actions immediately, directly and violently. For certain kinds of people, a man getting his respect is more important than his life.

Humiliation causes violence. In so many cases, physical violence was not going to happen until the victim said or did something that humiliated the perpetrator. Challenging a man with a gun by saying he doesn't have the balls to shoot it will provoke an attack. It humiliates him, makes him less of a man and leaves him no option but to shoot. It's really easy to end up making this sort of challenge while under a stressful situation. There are no shortage of cases where a violent person starts to leave the area but the victim just has to get that last insult in, they just need to have the last word, teach them a lesson and put them back in their place. "Yeah, crawl back to the shithole you came out of." Is it any wonder the situation escalates to violence?

> And yet, we wouldn't blame someone or hold them morally culpable in a disadvantaged relationship for turning the tables, even with a pair of scissors in the back.

It's interesting to observe who is and isn't blamed. For example, incels also fit this description and they are certainly unsympathetic to the vast majority of people despite the constant humiliation they endure.
The problem with that questions is that it’s really controversial and “natural” doesn’t really mean anything. There are all kinds of nutrition studies It’s like asking “is Joe Biden a good president?”

The best you can do is read articles saying why meat is good and look at articles saying why meat is bad. Usually everything from one article which isn’t directly contradicted by the other article is fact, and vice versa.
The rate might be higher, but the cluster effect is completely different.

If you're in traffic, the only people you can "spread" a car accident to are the other cars around you. But with infectious disease, you have a chance of spreading it to everybody you contact, all day every day.

You can't sit near somebody on the bus who transmits car accidents to you. Nor can you get in a car accident because your child caught it from school from a classmate whose parent got it from somebody they work with.

Statistically it might make sense, but that's not how the real world works. Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Or the odds of dying of covid for young people vs a car accident. car accidents are significantly more dangerous.

And before people bring up side effects or other long term damage, most people don’t die in car accidents and suffer from ptsd, whiplash, broken bones etc.

People are absolutely terrible at evaluating personal risk.

One of my coworkers drove across Canada to visit home at one point instead of taking a flight because of covid.

Young people should be more concerned with staying away from opioids, social media, friends that are racing cars, and binge drinking at parties.

I think we all agree with this. However, the semantics boil down to, if you use n:

- with no advisory database/dependency scanning, you'll eventually suffer this parade of horribles

- with an advisory database / dependency scanning which results in tons of false positives, you will also suffer from the same parade of horribles.

A scanning system with relatively few false positives could change the result. But very very few groups can afford to follow up on all of these . And those which can tend to take ownership of their own dependencies, perhaps privately forking them (as Google did with Linux)

Maybe dependency advisor will eventually grow into the role we want them to fill and become far more useful. It's probably better than nothing in its current form, but it's hard to say how much better than nothing.
35. $3.5M liquid and $4M illiquid pre IPO stock from a previous employer. Started from $0 and got it by working in tech/finance as a software engineer and investing in VTSAX.

Somebody didn't read the actual text. "Mitchell Baker, Mozilla's top executive, was paid $2.4m in 2018, [...]" He goes on to mention how he scavenged the figures from reports. Wikipedia links an article that states she was paid over $3m in 2019. And before then, she's been on the various boards since forever, so she approved the salary rises for her, Beard, and friends.

So let's drill this home: Baker or Beard, the whole Foundation board is complicit in enabling skyrocketing compensation rates for executives, whose only merit seems to be that they can maintain long-running commercial agreements more or less intact - while dropping the ball everywhere else.

Ok sounds like I can go ahead because you will accept from every.org and you do not plan to publish an address to accept donations directly?

I'll match other HNers donations of as much as $100 to a total of an additional $1000. Not sure how to substantiate every.org donations but maybe I'll take HNers at their word.

Because we need some kind of time bound, I'll leave this matching window open for the next 48 hours, so ~21:20 UTC on Saturday (this is ~5pm US Eastern time IIRC).
I'd just point out that this five drinks in three hours is one drink more than the rule of thumb often given out of two drinks in the first hour then one drink per hour afterwards. It's the rare 200 lb person that has 5 beers during a football/baseball/soccer game and is "very definitely impaired." Sobriety limits are justifiably geared towards the lower end to accommodate light-weight drinkers. This is even pointed out on the chart by noting that this is a 95th percentile drunkenness/BAC (i.e., 95% of people are LESS drunk/have a lower BAC than shown or, alternatively, 5% of people are MORE drunk than shown).

SS contributions cap out at around $143k (indexed with inflation). Beyond that, extra income has no impact on your eventual SS payout. Even below that threshold, returns on Social Security tax associated with higher income are pretty small once you meet the 40 credit threshold for any benefit[1].

It falls to the bottom because it lies about the facts (vaccines were never declared 100% safe and effective) and reaches an incorrect conclusion (if one vaccine is determined to be safer than another, it doesn’t follow that vaccines are objectively unsafe, or that being unvaccinated is safer than being vaccinated).

It’s a silly comment to make, and potentially harmful. The majority of people in this case don’t, on average, “follow what they’re told.” They’re very capable of evaluating facts and data and responding accordingly. That’s what’s happening here.

Ive a Jeep Grand Cherokee. It has the front sensing collision detector and auto braking. It may have hit the brakes 1 time that I wasnt paying attention and 9,999,999 times when there was nothing in front of me. I disable it and thus far have avoided crashing. The point is that driver assist systems are only assist and you have to pay attention when you drive. Ive said this here before, Autopilot is a terrible misnomer. It seems to sit squarely in the valley of being good enough to 'trust' but not good enough for real world use. If I were in charge of the world, it would be rebranded immediately.

>However, money is also a concrete economic good in and of itself, subject to forces of supply and demand much like any other good.

There is an infinite supply of money out there for very obvious reasons. The USD is primarily a unit of account. The store of value function has been delegated to debt. The reason why debt stores values is that people promise to provide value in the future. Every asset meaning every dollar has to be backed by a liability meaning a dollar of debt. The reason for that is quite simple. The dollar has no inherent value, therefore the net worth of the dollar must be 0.

The medium of exchange function isn't provided by only the dollar itself anymore. Nowadays people use a wide variety of payment services ranging from bank accounts and credit cards to Paypal and the lightning network and of course, the good old dollar bill is providing a offline payment service.

The supply of money is unbounded because the amount of promises we make and the economy we can create in the process is unbounded. What is in short supply is labor.

Simply saving money creates no net real wealth in the economy because the money that has to be saved has to be created first through debt. Instead, net wealth is created in the real economy by the borrower who is using the money for an investment. If there aren't any borrowers willing to get into debt (=demand for labor is low) but people keep saving their money (=they increase the supply of labor) then the interest rate has to fall to balance the demand and supply for labor on an individual level. If the interest rate is low or negative it means there are lots of people who are working but do not intend to consume or invest the fruits of their labor and it also means there are lots of people who cannot find employment opportunities that earn enough to cover their own consumption.

> exceeds the risk from COVID

To be clear the result in the paper is that myocarditis in that age group is greater than hospitalization risk from covid. No?

"For boys 12-17 without medical comorbidities, the likelihood of post vaccination dose two CAE is 162.2 and 94.0/million respectively. This incidence exceeds their expected 120-day COVID-19 hospitalization rate"

There's no result there about myocarditis from covid infection.

I've definitely had experiences where I managed to queue up a profound amount of alcohol intoxication, becoming realized abruptly after enough time had passed to switch bars on foot.

In one specific instance, I promptly became incapacitated before even receiving my first drink at the new bar, falling off a bar stool and vomiting on the floor, unable to stand again, let alone walk. The bar-tender was convinced I was overdosing on some hard drug apparently and kicked us all out for being junkies, because I went from walking in perfectly normal and ordering a drink, to this complete disaster on the floor, in the time it took her to prepare our drinks... It must have been a 10-20 minute delay spent between bars on foot that time. The first bar specialized in stiff sweet cocktails, where they mask stupidly high alcohol content with sugary syrup. IIRC it was called Sugar Lounge (in SF). And I have very low tolerance not being much of a drinker, if you've got tolerance I imagine you can push that time-to-incapacitated delay out quite a bit.
It's kind of interesting that this appears to happen with police cars and emergency vehicles mostly. Is there a particular way of parking such vehicles that makes it hard(er) for a Tesla to detect it?

It might also indeed be about phantom braking. My relatively old (probably designed around 10 to 20 years ago) system gets confused sometimes when I pass a truck or a bus and once even when I passed a bicycle. It happened at least 5 times in less than 10,000km. So I suspect there is some merit to the Autopilot disabling the feature.
Not to mention as time goes by, many other things are de-risked such as literally our understanding of vaccine side effects and proper mitigations, and new therapies.
I'd say it differently: most people in the US have no safe place to bike for transportation.

Most places are perfectly safe. I for example, have 100 miles of safe trails and rural roads to ride on, here in the American Midwest. But most people live in dense urban environments.

I think I'm missing your point. This article is talking about the relative risk of developing myocarditis, but you are talking about the risk of hospitalization from COVID. Wouldn't the correct comparison be to look at the risk of myocarditis after catching COVID? Or going the other way, shouldn't we be comparing the risk of hospitalization due to COVID (if unvaccinated) to that of hospitalization after receiving the vaccine?
I think the situation you are outlining is most aptly described by the Roman proverb: "quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"

AFAIK, it undermines the integrity of the helmet in a crash. Perhaps it's worth the trade-off, but also having some loose stick of metal flying around my head in a crash is conceptually unappealing.
> And I would argue that they have already made this choice by buying an iPhone

Ok, and an alternative solution, which gives more people choice, is to allow people who buy an iPhone, and lock it down of their own free choice, and allow people who don't want their iPhone locked down to not lock it down.

That way both groups get what they want. You would lock down your phone if you want, and other people, who don't want it locked down would be able to do that, both on an iPhone.
I don't think these people drink soda because they're thirsty. They drink it because they enjoy the taste and it's something to do, it's almost a small form of entertainment. As a result they're never really thirsty in the first place.

It's also what you're used to. There was a time when I would drink a lot of soda, but then I made an effort to switch to just water (and coffee). I almost never crave soda now.
As I mentioned, for your $100 bill there is a liability attached to the $100 bill. The piece of paper itself is worthless.

Dunno, autopilot (at least originally) was just a stupid switch on a plane that would try to hold altitude and speed. It wouldn't try to avoid objects, couldn't take off, couldn't land.

Very similar to Tesla's auto pilot, that can't manage your driveway, random surface streets, but can mostly (but not completely) handle highways.
> automatic emergency braking: this is a terrible idea. I can't imagine any circumstance where ones bike would suddenly stop underneath them and not send the rider head-first into whatever made the bike stop.

Not a historian but possible other weird thing:

"(Bonus question: what did the U.S. give to China in exchange for its china?)"
"(the answer to the question I posed above about what the U.S. traded to China in the 19th century is "fur")"

My understanding is that in this period, the most valuable China->US exports were tea, silk, and porcelain. The USA didn't produce anything the Chinese were interested in buying (unlike the Spanish, who had had torrents of silver coming from South American silver mines), and so British and American traders in the Canton System and Thirteen Factories period traded opium from British India to China, which of course led to the Opium Wars, British control of Hong Kong, etc.

I've never read anything about fur exports from USA to China being a big part of 19th century USA trade, but I have read a about mid-19th century booming East Coast and European demand for beaver pelts.
Besides, standardized DSLs are often better suited for static analysis due to the restricted forms of control flow and less esoteric constructions (fewer or no pointers, dynamic allocation, etc).

> So if you're a young male, the correct response to avoiding myocarditis (among all of the other downsides that come with actually catching Covid) is to get vaccinated with the Pfizer or J&J shots.

This is probably also the reason the health authorities stopped recommending the Moderna vaccine for that demographic. Since the Pfizer vaccine is available, and AFAIK it's not in short supply, it's pretty much just a question of which vaccine to use for that demographic.

When I got the second (Pfizer) shot, I was also given a leaflet saying that extreme physical exertion should be avoided for a few days afterwards as that might increase the risk of myocarditis.
> But what's the actual risk?
> <1%.

Where did you get that number? As of Sep 29, 2021, US reported 43,289,203 cases where 3,047,033 of them are hospitalized, including vaccinated. This is nowhere close to <1%. I'm pretty sure the number could be much higher with saner medical insurance system.
Sure, I agree, but I was referring to 2.7 cases of myocarditis per 100k after taking the vaccine. The cluster effect is still different but not as wildly different as comparing rates of COVID per capita to car crashes.
>Writing a plug-in that scrapes content, however trivial or anonymized the author thinks it might be, is cause for concern for a company like Facebook

yes, I think it is this idea of Facebook's which is being criticized

a more nuanced approach would be better -- for example, if the issue is indeed a data violation, then the policy could be more nuanced to allow this sort of data collection, and that wouldn't require any additional code review of 3rd party apps

but of course, given the recent testimony of Facebook putting engagement before user safety, it seems obvious that the motivating factor was the disengagement the tool helped enable, not any sort of metrics the user agreed to send

indeed, TFA even links to this post which lays bare facebook's bogus "privacy" pretext for limiting interactions that promote social good:
