People are responding that the Rohloff is 'unserviceable'. I can say here what I can't explain to most cyclists I know: it's unhackable. I don't like disc brakes for the same reason (but at least there it's worth the trade-off for safety).

I love that bikes are made of simple mechanical parts about which, at a glance, I can at understand what they're doing, how they're doing, what's wrong, and what needs to be done about it. And I love that these simple mechanical parts can make me move, with just muscle input, so efficiently. I don't want internal hub systems, motorized derailleurs, hydraulic brakes, batteries, etc. They ruin part of my fun.

(Also, an aside about first-mover influence: Someone in France beat someone in the UK to the bicycle by a (few years?) in the mid-19th century, and we still talk about derailleurs, panniers, etc. Computers will still be described in English terms for another century.)
Anecdote.

I have a few supermarket chains within reasonable shopping distance. The higher end one seems to be low in stock of a few staple items.

The more mid-tier grocer has no shortages that I saw.

My guess is they warehouse things differently.
It does seem appealing to compress it into a few years, doesn't it.

But I don't think it works for me at this point. First, the math. I believe 20k gross is ~10k after tax where I live. My absolute minimum acceptable lifestyle costs 30k/year. Which leaves the possibility of saving 90k/year. So I get three free years for every year worked. Brings to mind the Ciolkowski equation.

Three years for every year worked, neglecting investments, but also opportunity cost, and the fact that I absolutely detest working for others and even a year of working full-time is a dreadful prospect to me.

Assuming life expectancy of 85 and no state pension, I would need to work full-time for about 13 years, no time-off, optimistically assuming no mental breakdown from all that work. So I end up at 45, possibly bald, with no savings except to fund what I considered the minimum acceptable lifestyle at 32. That is not good.

The opportunity cost. I now work for about 2-3 months / year (and benefit from lower tax at lower income), building a quite possibly successful business venture on the side, and devoting lots and lots of time to my hobbies.

Aging. I would not want to sacrfice a year of my 30s for three years of my 50s.

This is a not a fair comparison if we are talking facts not perceptions. It ignores issues of storage that doesn't make the energy outputs commensurate. It ignores the constant polution and health issue stemming from fossil fuel power plants when nothing goes wrong --- since the ability to use solar and wind wihtout those is as-of-yet undemonstrated at scale.
Yeah. "No code" is basically just a DSL with a visual (i.e. not just text) encoding.
Re: the entrenched social network... It shouldn't be too hard to create an alternative service / browser extension that will allow people to export their social network? Because then the alternative service could be set to automatically approve any future connection requests from the people previously identified.

I'd sign up for such a social-graph-based service that just did individual messaging, group discussions, and events (invitations + pictures).

Identity is an issue with social graph export... But on the other hand, doesn't the existence of LinkedIn show that people are willing to re-create their social graph on multiple services?

It’s not about not wanting to know, it’s about wanting to know about real security issues and being buried in low quality reports which do not need to be addressed.
All these comments fall to the bottom, which means the majority believes the vaccine is safe and effective.

The majority also supports the censorship carried out by all social media platforms.

I think it has always been like this. The majority follows what they are told and the minority doesn't get listened to.
As a young male who got myocarditis from both covid and the vaccine, the other thing that's worth knowing that I wish I'd known earlier: if you do get it, then the best thing to do to prevent long-term damage is to avoid exercise completely (potentially for 6 months to a year, or until you've been cleared by a doctor).

> We have learned that some data was exposed to the internet due to an error in a Twitch server configuration change that was subsequently accessed by a malicious third party.

How could 1 "server" change give such a high clearance to access all that was in the leak? This includes the data for the payouts including the source code for multiple projects. I still don't understand how this could happen for a company this big.

A GitHub organization for a project I worked on for example is segmented into teams so not 1 team can access another teams account, something this simple could have mitigated the number of repos exposed unless maybe the root user is pwned. Also, given that they use AWS, it comes with security tools including one to scan your whole network for weaknesses/vulnerabilities and also gives recommendations on what to do to fix besides other things.

This is really a lesson for other companies to practice the "Principle of Least Privilege" as a default mindset.
Here in Canada, we've had the mix-n-match push in June - a large Pfizer shipment was delayed and there was tons of Moderna, and entirely coincidentally at the very same time mix-n-match was approved, and the official line became "mRNA vaccines are 100% interchangeable. You get what you get. Vaccine shoppers are horrible ignorant people. The science on this is settled." With all the attendant media propaganda (is it still propaganda when its perpetrators are certain it's for a Very Good Cause?)

At the very same time, the CDC website said that mixing vaccines is *not* recommended, in nice bold letters. Our Canadian science was special though.

As you say, when we learn new things about these (generally very safe) vaccines, this is great for science, but not so much for people who constantly evoke it to conceal that their decisions are also about politics and logistics.

I just wish these public health boffins would drop the holier-than-thou smugness and stop treating the population like they're simpletons undeserving of the gory details. And the details are gory, necessarily so, in the middle of a pandemic when you're faced with tons of lesser-of-two-evils choices.
On the issue of rain fall in California, I'm reminded of "However, imagine that California had to get its entire water supply of 35 million acre-feet per year by desalinating sea water at the Santa Barbara price. This would come to $70 billion per year, which is on the order of ten percent of the state's GDP. We'd survive, but it would be a blow to our standard of living, and the arguments about whose fault it was and how the cost should be allocated would be exciting."

from http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/progress/water.html

which agrees with you about political unrest, but not about famine. Before I read that, I assumed that desalination was only for drinking water, and far to expensive for agricultural use. That is probably about right for poor countries, but rich countries might get through the total failure of the rains without famine (and without WW3).

Not quite enough info available yet, to be certain.

First need to know what the risk of myocarditis is when being vaccinated and having covid, and how much lower the risk of covid-infection is when having been vaccinated.

I don't think all of that data is available right now, so I would hesitate coming with certain conclusions about the right thing to do for young people. (Especially boys)

Also I would be a little careful using the 6x estimate for myocarditis caused by covid infection for these age groups, as in these age groups there may be quite a few undetected/asymptomatic covid infections. (That is it may be that: P(detected infection | covid, myocarditis) >> P(detected infection | covid) in young people)
There were a few papers in favor of the drug, but they were outed because there were serious flaws - cut and pasted data from other valid papers on Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. All of these pro papers were from suspected fake professional web sites and they were not peer reviewed.
If the iPhone is required to support apps outside of the App Store, that will probably result in a worse user experience for a lot of people. Despite that, I feel that it would be a net benefit to require non-App Store apps on the iPhone. The overall stifling of competition on a locked down ecosystem is worse then the inconvenience of installing a shady app.

And it probably wouldn't be that bad anyway. A vast majority of people will still use the official App Store, like they do on Android. But a more open ecosystem will keep Apple honest, and give more power to the end user.

I disagree with your first sentence - resource scarcity may happen and a country may be impoverished, but deciding to go to war is not an economic decision but rather a very personal one. Negotiations and deals are about resources, wars are about egos and beliefs.
Emotional Labor is a horrible term for it, since it has little to do with emotions. “Household” or “domestic” labor would be better.

44.1M verified cases in the out of 329.5M ~= 13%, and that's with verified cases, so it's likely much higher. My guess is younger people are even more likely to get it given their lifestyle is highly social at that age, and risk tolerance is similarly high.

Given it's not slowing down, the likelihood of getting covid is actually quite high over time.
Tricking your body into thinking you ate sweet things does not sound like a winning strategy in the long run.

I heard a speculation recently from a science vlogger, I think he was citing a paper, but as a side comment to the fact that humans have taste buds elsewhere in our bodies, that it's possible that when the artificial sweetener is in your intestines, your body makes an effort to absorb the 'sugars' that it senses, but in the process ends up absorbing some of the ambient sugar in your GI tract that otherwise would have not been captured, or used by gut microbes, throwing the whole balance off in the process. So in effect sugar free foods still have a caloric cost from a diet perspective.

Then there's sugar alcohols, which are edible by bad gut microbes but not by you.

“They” tried, but insufficient politicians supported it. Everything about ACA was as that it was a compromise to even get that much. The only other option was to not have had healthcare reform at all. I think ACA will go down in history as a pretty impressive effort that at least did something to increase the number of people with access to healthcare.
Real news is not subjective. There is no agree or disagree. News outlets running stories on climate denial, election lies, covid denial are driving an agenda of untruths. Most of my point of view is driven by an aggregate of credible sources. And I don't generally watch or read opinions.

The broad programs are usually only in countries where the entire country is extremely poor: Venezuela isn’t going to benefit from “targeted” programs, they have a GDP problem.

The approach I've most often heard taken is one of opposing the action, but not hating the person. You can have forgiveness and even compassion for the person while opposing what they do.
I actually love this idea and worked with some buddies on something similar way back in the day and the SEC came and gave us the smackdown as selling securities and really made a stink. Obviously they didn't think through the legal complexities here as we didn't but it's unfortunate they didn't just google it because the situation was public and they would have seen the articles/sec announcement. Hopefully some version of this does come to exist so the average person can get access to shares of any privately traded startup.

Correct. These vaccines are pretty safe, but we're at the part of the cycle where we're able to shave off .1% of risk, and thus are doing so.

Do you if the study you link considers someone who gets myocarditis that is vaccinated and had covid as vaccine caused case or covid caused case? I couldn't find it in the full text.
Mostly it's acclimatization, I think. If you have sweet stuff all the time, it doesn't taste all that sweet anymore, and everything else seems bland.

But there's also genetics. Some people spit out stuff like "omg, that's too sweet! yuck!" I eat a pretty spare diet these days and try to eliminate sugars and other additives, and still, sweet is good. I cannot put together this concept, "too" sweet. My sister doesn't like the taste of red meat, never has. People are just different!
Scandinavia, and the western world, are not as desperate for vaccines as they were 6 months ago. So it makes sense that these governments and public health officials would change their recommendations to be more conservative with respect to side effects. No vaccine or medication has 0 risk, it's about balancing the risk of the vaccine with the current risk of the actual disease.

Trying not to be a Tesl fanboy, but they have a nice graph showing the number of auto pilot complaints but fail to mention if they normalized for the number of cars on the road (with autopilot) of that brand. Maybe there are a ton of Tesla complaints because they have way more cars on the road? What's the percentage? I guess we'll never know. Not great reporting.
The most important part is to do some distillation under the principle "data is not information". When you collect a bunch of sources you have data. When you filter according to a benchmark of your choosing and bind the useful bits into notes, you have extracted information.

Getting information is hard work, and acknowledging this stops me from pursuing it much of the time. A lot of articles that proport to discuss a topic directly are not informative and try to cover up that fact. So instead you have to figure out side channels. E.g. for gleaning understanding of human meat-eating I would look for discussions of carnivores in the general sense, extract that into a set of "meat eater traits" and then search for the traits in humans one by one.

TACC and ebreaking are in MANY auto's. We get no data on the number of accidents and fatalities for cars

1) Driven by humans

2) Other systems of ebreaking

For all we know, despite these 17 accidents, teslas may be far safer.

For example, a quick google shows that there are 1.7 MILLION rear end collisions EACH YEAR in the US.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2015/06/0...

Note that the 17 items discussed here with Tesla are over multiple years.

So in the time teslas had these 17 crashes there were perhaps 3M+ rear end collisions alone?

The sad reality is that the clickbait headlines sell, and any effort to actually look at data does not (on the web and more recently on HN). Folks just do not want to engage with an idea or with numbers, but the outrage (or downvote) button is usually close by :)
> a (relatively) healthy supermarket meal easily cooked on the stovetop in the time it takes to wait in a drive-thru

Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree with your overall point....but what drive-thrus do you use?

A home-cooked meal for me takes at MINIMUM an hour. Prep, cooking, eating, cleanup. If it takes less than that, then it's probably a lot of pre-made/processed stuff that isn't particularly healthy in itself.

The only way I've been able to get around it with my work schedule is to meal-prep on weekends. Making stuff in bulk helps, but it's still 3-5 hours of my precious weekend used up.
I've been working with AWS CDK for a little while now, and it kind of has some of what you want.

In my case, I wanted a scheduled container to run once per day. Setting it up manually with CF or Terraform would have been a lot of work defining various resources, but CDK comes with a higher-level construct[1] that can be parameterized and which will assemble a bunch of lower level resources to do what I want. It was a pretty small amount of Python code to make it happen.
