>> The truth is that universities sell all of these things, bundled together. And that’s a big reason they’ve been able to raise prices to astronomical levels over the past several decades — it’s really hard to disrupt all of those things at once.

No, it's because no matter what the cost of school is, universities know their "customers" will just take out a loan to match whatever the price is. And one way to "disrupt" this is to make public universities free for in state students, similar to what California used to do with the UC system.

It was difficult to read the rest of the article given that it started on this false premise.

You're doing it wrong. There's so many ways to cook a quick healthy cheap meal.

I cook 6 chicken breasts at a time, that way I have chicken for today and the next 5 days. It takes less than 5 minutes of your time to put chicken breasts on a sheet pan and then step away for 20 minutes while they bake in the oven. Then one minute to wash the sheet pan when they are done. There's 6 minutes of my time for 6 days of chicken breasts.

Then there's so many ways to use the pre-cooked chicken breasts. One day ill chop one up mix with mayo, and mustard to make chicken salad and apply to some toast. 5 minute chicken salad sandwiches.

Next day I'll chop the chicken Breast up mix with taco seasoning microwave for 1 minute and apply to taco shells with lettuce and tomato. 5 minute tacos.

Next day I'll microwave a chicken breast with some mixed veggies. 5 minute chicken and veggies.

Next day I'll microwave the chicken breast apply to some toast with lettuce,tomato, mayo. 5 minute chicken sandwich.

That was just some things you can do with a chicken breast. There's so many meals you can prepare in less than 5 minutes that is healthier and cheaper than anything you get going out to eat.
Thank you! So this looks interesting but it seems like there's no easy way to share numpy arrays?

The main use case for a language other than python is a more robust codebase but also performance. We need to be able to efficiently ship lots of large arrays between the languages and the Rust-Python interop supports zero copy arrays for example.
40% of Americans are obese. States with the highest level of obesity also have the lowest rate of vaccination.

They're not terribly common even within the US. I refinanced my house recently, and and I had to order a new checkbook from my bank to do it, because I couldn't find the one they gave me four years ago. Every time I do have to write a check, I always have to "figure it out" again, which isn't exactly rocket science, but is a testament to how little I write checks.

Like most of the world, I use credit cards or debit cards or a cash sending app.

I'm no saying .4 is realistically attainable with any regularity. I'm saying that 0.15-.2 is not a very exceptional "24hr high score" for anyone who is drinking to get drunk in said 24hr period. It's basically a 12-pack over 1.5 hr or a 6-pack and some shots over two, neither of which are keg stand type crazy levels of consumption.

HN gets a massive stick up its ass if you suggest that there exists a large subset of the population who's alchohol consumption is not along the lines one high end beer per week night and two on the weekends.

I'm not saying that everyone is crushing a 12pack on a Friday night but to say that people can't stand at .2 is an equally outlandish generalization in the other direction.

I think the problem here is calling something "better than human" because it manages to avoid some accidents. If a car avoids one accident for every 100,000 times it intervenes, that isn't really a good thing. It just means that drivers start to ignore flashing lights and warnings because they are always meaningless. Maybe it even causes some accidents by distracting the driver, and they don't get categorized as "caused by the automatic braking system" because nothing really tracks that.

Every time I start my car, about 15 seconds into the drive a popup appears on the screen, saying something like "Warning: automated driving assistance system can cause distraction. Select OK to dismiss". Thanks, you have reduced your own liability in exchange for further distracting the driver.

From what I have read, this is actually not the case. Remittances account for 1/5 of El Salvador's GDP, which is one of the highest ratios in the world. The companies that facilitate these remittances often charge pretty high fees, so the idea behind using bitcoin is to increase the amount of money that makes it home to El Salvador by reducing the cost incurred from transfer fees.

These are US numbers, though. Norway, e.g., has tested like crazy and diagnosed 4% of its population with covid throughout the pandemic. Given that the US numbers for covid cases are at least three times higher, the risk assessment will necessarily be different.

The Scandinavian solution will likely be to just delay vaccination for a week while a dose of the Pfeizer vaccine is tracked down. The change of contracting covid in that timeframe is very small.

These ethical considerations are necessarily local.
Which countries are you referring to? No identification is required when exchanging peer to peer, and it's not illegal to exchange peer to peer. I don't know any countries where this would be forbidden.

You can use service like https://hodlhodl.com to exchange peer to peer without questions or identification.

If you're using your bank account, then it's not completely private. However, cash trades are always possible.

On the other hand, Chivo requires strong identification with passport, so it's hardly a wormhole.

That works for one ISP, the issue is with two (a common design for SMB network reliability). Earlier recommendations I read were "get your own public /48 assigned and peer with both, NAT including NPT is not good". But it turns out some (all?) authorities won't do that for SMBs, so we're back to some form of translation, probably on top of ULAs running internally.

Another related issue is the ULA design - they're meant to be randomly generated but it's not enforced, so you just know there'll be a bunch of internal networks with custom duplicate ULAs that will only show up when some businesses merge, so we'll be back to re-ipaddressing subnets.

IPv6 has changed a bit since the first RFCs (privacy extensions etc) so I imagine at some point someone will look at this and make some changes to suit. I wonder if it'll be relaxing ULA recommendations or adding something else entirely.

I'm insanely excited for never having to worry about subnet size again but it just doesn't seem like there's a clear best-practice one-true-way everyone-agrees way forward right now for a whole bunch of popular use-cases.
You're talking about a power hour. Pretty much everyone makes the hour. Nobody drops out after 30min unless they've been pregaming. Yes it gets you pretty drunk but many people continue drinking afterwards. The alcoholics do it with wine.

Pretty much everyone I hung out with in college were weekend only drinkers, not exactly the hard drinking crowd.

If people were regularly puking at the end it wouldn't be a popular game, just like if a 6-pack weren't a common amount to consume it wouldn't be a typical unit of sale.
> Actually mRNA vaccines/tech been in development and trials for a long time (decades).

Obviously the parent was not referring to the entire development history of mRNA tech, any more than one would include the initial work on inventing the internal combustion engine when talking about how much safety testing had been carried out for a new model car.

The usual safety trials were not carried out for these vaccines, full stop.
That article says an mRNA vaccine for influenza was in clinical trials in 2015, but it never made it to market. What happened to it?

The human visual system is amazing at normalizing across many orders of magnitudes (cf HDR imaging), but yet with the evolution of LED lights and a lack of accountability, the lights on police cars have gotten way too bright for even human drivers at night. I wouldn't be surprised if the ultimate cause is a complete swamping of the cameras for everything that isn't immediately in front of the car, and even the lane lines disappearing when close enough to the blinding lights. What is a computer supposed to do when confronted with complete loss of visual input? A human will squint, slow down by 10-20mph, extrapolate the lane lines, and play the odds. But there is no surefire way to proceed safely, and thus no straightforward action to program a computer with.

I'm not sure how true that is for advertisements. For example, there are many forms of 'hidden' advertisements that are designed to not be seen, and yet influence people. Among them are product placements. Heck, even Hacker News is an advertisement for YCombinator, though it certainly isn't seen that way by many people.
> They are all regulatory representations that were later found to be false.

Just look at finance, the entire market is based on telling mistruths to regulators.

Apple are currently piling industrial amounts of bullshit to a number of regulators. The irish, dutch and british tax authorities are constantly being fed lies about where "sales" happen.

Google have lied to both austrialian and french regulators.

The reason I brought up apple is because they are doing to to defuse the fact that they are alone amongst FAANG for enabling child abuse.

The IITs are truly world-class computer science programs. Better than most US colleges/universities. To say nothing of the fantastic engineers in Canada and Europe that can be had for fractions of American labor prices. MOOCs are noise.

Slack-like technologies existed during the outsourcing wave in the 90s, and high-quality video conferencing existed during the wave in the early 2010s.

We've been through this rodeo before.

In college I was warned to major in Accounting instead of CS because all the programming jobs would be outsourced. Today, I make north of $600K and all of the entry level positions at the Big 4 ask for some programming knowledge, or at the very least strong SQL/Excel skills.

Again, I've lived through some of these waves. IBM et al. tried this twice and lost both times.

> Fortunately, there are many who are seeing the cancer of woke culture and are creating alternative pipelines and being very successful at it

I don't really know where this moral panic about woke culture in tech is coming from. It's not something I've experienced in the workplace. I don't doubt that there are microclimates within FAANGS where this is a problem, but I've never seen it and at this point have to assume it's not as pervasive as the panicked folks seem to think.

In meatspace, I've had a number of friends who've complained about cancel culture/wokeness. Mostly in our small group at church. TBH, if I had to guess based on my interactions with those folks at church, all of them are struggling in their careers because they are abrasive, argumentative, and have a tendency to steamroll conversations. That lack of social graces is the sort of thing people put up with in church/friend groups but have less patience for at work (particularly in non-executive roles).

I don't doubt that cancelling is a thing, but my general anecdotal experience has been that most people complaining about it are wrong about the motivation for their firing/non-promotion. For prideful people, it's often easier to believe the world hates Christians or Conservatives than to own up to the fact that people just don't like working with or especially under abrasive personalities.
How it works according to their website is that they will mail a check to the registered address of the charity. That's actually an amazing service - even charities which are not aware of Every.org still benefit from its existence.

I'm honestly really impressed.
>> For example, do you know what the risk of hospitalization from Covid is when unvaccinated?

> Risk numbers are totally useless when not stating the time over which the risk is incurred. A 1% lifetime risk is very different from a 1% daily risk.

In this specific case the timeframe is not relevant. The metric here was "probability that you will be hospitalized IF you are infected with COVID-19". That means the timeline is "however long it takes to get better from Covid". Adding "lifetime risk" to that doesn't make sense, and "daily risk" makes even less sense (for example, someone who is sick for 130 days, is admitted to a hospital, and dies, would be counted as adding 1 "positive day" and 129 "negative days", making it an awful metric).
> Because a "better C" is long overdue.

In theory as you earn bitcoin, you can exchange it in a marketplace for other currencies if various risk levels, including stablecoins for low risk, or even for a few fiat currencies.

Hello!

> Could you share some insights on why wasmtime and not wasm3 or wasmer in particular

The underlying architecture also supports Wasmer (there's a compiler flag to switch between them), and between the two, Wasmtime is better suited to be statically compiled into the Sat binary, which was a pre-set requirement for this experiment. Wasm3 is also awesome, but Wasmtime does have a performance leg up on Wasm3.

> What do you make of Cloudflare's / Deno.land's approach of relying on v8 isolates (which can run WASM) versus relying on WASI for the nanoprocess model? Do you think eventually most edge-functions would be WASM-only (as opposed to v8 / firecracker)? Or, are there inherent limitations in the WASM-only approach?

I personally believe that eventually the Wasm/WASI-only approach will be very viable, and even today you could run Sat on bare-metal with the right configuration and get very good sandboxing. CloudFlare/Deno are using one of the most natural on-ramps into the Wasm ecosystem, and I think it's a perfectly valid approach that will likely work very well, the V8 code optimizer is no slouch.

> Any developments you'd particularly recommend folks keep an eye on?

The ones you mentioned certainly, as well as wasmCloud, Lunatic, Yew, AssemblyLift, and Fastly's Compute@Edge are all projects to watch in the WebAssembly space.

> How did the team get together to work on suborbital?

Suborbital started as an open source project (Reactr), and is now a startup that focuses the majority of its efforts on open source Wasm tooling/frameworks/etc. I am the founder of said company, and the others are the founding team!

> I particularly think WASM is poised to take over serverless itself. So, all the best and hope you folks make it. Thx.

Thank you, and I agree :)

And yet on same hardware, windows gets twice the battery life and idles at about half the power. Maybe NT's way IS better afterall?
I think that's a slightly different problem - there is a purity spiral going on in academia (and Twitter) around the definition of "offensive" language.

Purity spirals never end well. The most famous one ended up with people being burnt alive as witches.

But it is a purity spiral - if you don't intend to be considered "pure" then it doesn't matter and you can effectively ignore it. Though whether your employer agrees or not is a different matter.
The real ethical tradeoff is "what's your chance of contracting covid and getting complications in the one-week delay between cancelling your Moderna appointment and getting the Pfeizer vaccine instead" vs. "what's the chance of getting myocarditis from side effects of the Moderna vaccine".

Seems like most people in this thread hear "Scandinavian authorities are stopping the vaccination program", when the recommendation is rather to switch vaccines for men under a certain age.

The ethical consideration is not particularly complicated, and Scandinavian health authorities are not risk-averse idiots. They simply care about an equation that might lead to a couple of saved lives in total. I think this level of care speaks highly of the intentions of the healthcare systems in Scandinavia.
Their terms are pretty clear that it's how they work. I don't know that it's dishonest but it is slightly tricky IMO. It seemed like it was the case when I clicked on it and it would be nicer if it were obvious before donating.

But bottom line they'd have gotten the money delivered to ZSF anyways.

We have a client that had someone make a direct copy of their website, same branding, same everything and put it on a domain running through Cloudflare. We've reached out to Cloudflare to get them to take it down but nothing has been done. You also have a Cloudflare account to file a complaint, which I found to be odd. We're a Cloudflare customer too...but still that shouldn't be a hoop you have to jump through. Now there is this identical phishing site out there that Cloudflare reverse proxies and we can't see who registered the domain or who hosts the site (since Cloudflare masks the IPs.)
Maybe you simply misunderstood the context and so their meaning? Sounds more likely than them committing perjury.
