No; the side effects of that vaccine did not take a decade to surface. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthrax_vaccine_adsorbed

> Rates of events that resulted in seeking medical advice or taking time off work were 7.9% after the first dose; 5.1% after the second dose; 3.0% after the third dose; and 3.1% after the fourth dose.

A decade of monitoring wasn't necessary to spot them; they were deemed fairly normal, and the vaccination program restarted.

I'm looking for an example of a vaccine where a year is not enough time for side effects to surface, that would justify the claimed need for a ten year study before being mandated.

> Although many individuals have expressed health concerns after receiving anthrax vaccine, a congressionally directed study by the Institute of Medicine (part of the National Academy of Sciences) concluded that this anthrax vaccine is as safe as other vaccines. The Academy considered more than a dozen studies using various scientific designs, and heard personally from many concerned US military service members.
There was no control group, this was not that kind of study, see in my response above why (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28832790),

You'd think the vast industry around the military could replace actual jamming with training aids. Even if the bespoke training tools are expensive, I doubt they're as expensive as an airliner wandering in to an active missile range. Not to mention the economic disruption to air traffic throughput.

I understand the “why” of team building, but the “what” or “how” the team-building is done often handled in such a hackneyed top-down way that I often wonder “if you just brought the team together, gave them options on ways to spend their time together, would they otherwise choose to do the same activities the managers designed for the event”?

That’s more rhetorical than anything and is a roundabout way of saying: most organized team building events are just…boring.

It’s also just a preference though: getting together and just hanging out without the pressure to talk shop or participate in some kind of coordinated, planned and overly-orchestrated activity is just as engaging for me as “escape rooms” or “games” or other “activities”.
Hey, I am the author of Fugue.

Fugue is a higher level abstraction compared to Ray. It provides unified and non-invasive interfaces for people to use Spark, Dask and Pandas. Ray/Modin is also on our roadmap.

It provides both Python interface (not pandas-like) and Fugue SQL (standard SQL + extra features). Users can choose the one they are most comfortable with as the semantic layer for distributed computing, they are equivalent.

With Fugue, most of your logic will be in simple Python/SQL that is framework and scale agnostic. From the mindset to the code, Fugue minimizes your dependency on any specific computing frameworks including Fugue itself.

Please let me know if you want to learn more. our slack is in the README of the fugue repo

It wouldn't surprise me if this were less about saving the planet and more about hedging against the possibility that factory farming ceases to be sustainable such that prices for real meat increase enormously. Such a circumstance would create a huge new market for relatively inexpensive meat substitutes, competing on palatability probably far more than nutrition.
Yes, I do. Just because I know how to speak/write some language I don't have to love it. And I rather do something I enjoy than dragging myself to work every day. Increased productivity is just a corollary. (I'll still accept a java gig, but the salary must make up for the daily misery).

Ah, retail and restaurants are low-margin businesses, so I usually associate their decline with a rise in cost (labor + real estate). Usually restaurants don't just go away, they're replaced by fewer-in-number but more-expensive options that people don't want or can't eat at regularly. Cost also correlates with density, but I think that's more abstractly. Eg: more businesses show up, more workers are needed, more houses are needed, supply and demand flip flops as inventory in a relatively-fixed area shrinks or becomes a rental market instead of buyers market.

I worked for a couple of years in an organization where we all worked remotely but met up for 2-3 days in some convenient city (e.g. where one or two team members already lived) for brain storming sessions 2-3 times a year; and also at trade shows/conferences, where we sent probably more team members than was necessary but it was justifiable because the event doubled as a f2f team session.
Where have I seen this before.... oh yeah:

Bell [0] brought the home telephone to tens of millions of people. They made it affordable and reliable. They laid millions of miles of wires, provided tens of thousands of high paying jobs, and made life measurably safer.

They improved the quality of life for everyone. The improvement is practically immeasurable.

Despite what they did, they (and their descendants) went on to become the very villains you deride in your post. Imagine that!

The Bell companies introduced world-changing technology and were richly rewarded. Then they morphed into abusive monopolists. Funny how we've come full circle.

By mature, they probably mean 7nm or even 5nm. Semiconductor manufacturers are always keeping old nodes spun up for technology that doesn’t require (or wouldn’t even function properly) on smaller nodes. Spinning up a 7nm/5nm fab allows them to free up their flagship fab for 3nm.
Steve Jobs personally met with every carrier in the US.

There's some truth to this.

As a C# developer, I get to deal with a lot more:

- Bikeshedding over LINQ

- Going back and optimizing LINQ

- Helping Developers understand someone else's LINQ, Reflection/Attribute Abuse

- Helping developers understand new syntax in each version of the language.

A large part of Go's philosophy is to more or less take away all of those tools from the Developer and try to force a style of code that is somewhat monotonous, verbose (in a way very different from Java), yet 'readable' by a developer with minimal experience.
California needs to upgrade it's electrical infrastructure before all of these mandates take effect. Wildfires and the impact on Feather River Canyon / where a number of fires have started the last couple of years. Droughts and the impact on hydro-electric capacity. High-wind / red-flag days causing outages.

These are things that are regularly happening. They should be occasional, not occurring multiple times a month.

The big one is going to be the phasing out of fossil fuel vehicles. In addition to infrastructure, California does not have the generation capacity for what these mandates / initiatives will require. Take a look at rolling brownouts on extremely hot days due to the use of air conditioning.

Micro-grids and local generation are topics that come up as possible solutions. Then you have to deal with infrastructure, NIMBYism, practicality - areas with extreme weather conditions (snow/etc).

There is a larger question that needs to be addressed before we can go zero-emission at any particular scale.

Also - someone will mention solar - places that get a lot of snow, rain, maybe are in areas with tree cover - solar isn't always sufficient for the needs of a house let alone a community.
Maybe just buy 12 batteries that last 1 hour each? Given labour costs in California that's probably few days worth of investment?

Also - does the law even apply to professional market? In a way if the tools are so good they would've switched way earlier than consumer.

> France relies on the US for defense.

They mostly rely on their nukes, their nuclear submarines and their army and their extensive diplomatic ties. France has some moderate capacity of projection. They would be fine defending themselves.

Eastern Europe relies on the USA for its protection, Germany somewhat does but actually would likely be fine without, France does not. That’s why they can say NATO is brain dead and push for more strategic autonomy in the EU.

And what will the USA do anyway. Withdraw their support because they are spied upon? What would they stand to gain from that?
Wouldn't that mean that Putin's flights can't use GPS to navigate? But maybe he worries more about someone intercepting his plane than he does about crashing due to a navigation mistake. And his risk assessment may in fact be accurate...

That is worth mentioning, but it is far from 'all you need to know'. My job role is completely different from the CEO of my company, so I wouldn't expect them to work in the same environment I do. If my CEO's job entailed sitting in a cubicle all day I'd find another company to work for.

> A higher fidelity social product would automatically nip and tuck our social graphs over time as they observed our interaction patterns.

This should not be so binary - follow/unfollow. PArtly because lack of interaction is not necessarily a sign of lack of interest as much as just different phases of life.

Rather, I think it should be more fine-grained and gradual, kind of depreciating down to lower-level follows, and eventually falling off after a bunch of steps. And, the ability to occasionally scan the depreciation levels to see if someone should be re-activated (oh, I've been meaning to get in touch...)

And of course, the distinction Eugene makes between the Interest graph vs the Social graph is spot-on -- it make so much about the dysfunctional social media system so obvious.

St Louis and Columbus are much bigger than the towns I'm thinking of. The two towns are basically suburbs with a downtown area. I was able to bike to both of them from my house.

... has pre-existing families/friends to socialize with.

It's easy to believe the people you work with are friends to socialize with, but the reality is that most people cut ties with their coworkers as soon as they change job, especially early in your career when you're hopping from one job to another every few years. Those people are temporary friends at best.

I recommend doing everything you can to cultivate friendships outside of work.
Theoretically; something similar to what happened to the Cuban cigar producers after the revolution. They spin off into their own company/companies no longer recognizing the “invalidated” company charter.

But, realistically, China will press their global influence to keep them under Sino-TSMC’s control under a new Chinese corporate charter.
The fact I had that thought at little earlier in this thread before reading your comment leads me to believe two things, one it's a somewhat trivial idea to arrive upon and that two our patent system is broken that something like that could be patented when it's really not a hard thought to arrive at.

> The author even went to great strides to explain that his use of unsafe code was indeed safe.

Some places of code were actually unsound (which means: got function containing unsafe and marked safe even if it didn't upheld the invariant of the unsafe block, meaning you could trigger UB from safe code: this is a big no-go in Rust).

That being said, the whole drama with people mobbing the author on every social media, calling him name and so on, is indeed regrettable.
The signal GPS uses is actually very very weak and can be jammed pretty easily just by spewing a bunch of noise in the general area of the spectrum where it lies. Military grade receivers have some countermeasures that civilian equipment doesn't (e.g. the military signals have much wider bandwidth to work with, and you can also do some antenna magic), but jamming is still a problem for them too and it's a pretty active area for R&D.

https://www.afcea.org/content/jam-proof-signals-guide-naviga... is a good read on the subject.

I invite a food scientist or some such type to correct me (it's HN, so there's probably one lurking around somewhere), but the margarine issue was due to high concentrations of trans-fats coupled with the already high concentrations of saturated fat.

I believe a number of the "vegan" butters on market shelves today strive to avoid this issue, hence it's not necessarily the same... or, rather, to put it another way: just because something was done wrong once doesn't mean it can't be tried again with a better formula.

It's not like regular butter is being phased out here, and people really shouldn't be consuming so much of this stuff (butter or vegan butter) period.

Yes, someone with more business sense than me who is also more invested in turning a profit smells money. That's basically the real reason it gets done.

If people really want to save the planet and eat less meat as part of that goal, there are better ways to achieve that. But those ways tend to be harder to monetize effectively than creating a product that inflexible, overprivileged people will snap up and feel virtuous about.
Do you really mean "give up" here? You're strongly implying that you're not in America, so there's a decent chance English is not your first language, so maybe you don't mean "give up" in the way it usually means in English.

To be explicit, there's nothing being sacrificed. People leaving their jobs because they don't want to go to an office are finding new jobs that pay the same amount or even more. They're not giving up anything.
I'd be looking hard at housing along regional rail lines.

The way I read the parent comment, it's not that people are "giving up" the ability to make hundreds of thousands, but rather they're able to give up their role at a company paying that much because the market allows them to make that money elsewhere.
