I wasn't clear.

If people are already buying something, like electricity or cars, then buying clean substitutes that are cheaper and better than older dirty products doesn't suffer from free rider effect.

Each person makes their own decision and gets more value with the clean option if it is better than the old product at what it does. The clean option takes over automatically thanks to individuals each looking out for themselves.

I used Musk's name as a short-hand for this approach targeting individual self interest because he has a very high profile in cleaner transport in the US. I did not mean to imply that Musk will somehow make CCS a desirable thing for individuals to buy. That's not possible.

Sucking carbon out of the atmosphere is not something that people get individual value from, or have been willing to pay for to date. So left to themselves, no-one would pay for it. That's why it needs co-ordinated action. Which we're not good at.

Yes, we can't reach climate goals without CCS. But it's going to be hard to scale up to approximately the same size as the global oil and gas industry.
> CORS is a stupid idea that serves no purpose. If someone is really determined they will either 1) turn off CORS with a browser extension 2) simply call your precious API from something other than an a browser

> It is essentially security by obscurity and protects nothing.

What.

I think there's been a fundamental misunderstanding of who is being protected here on your part, and what CORS is actually for.

It's your run-of-the-mill user that CORS protects, and CORS being enforced protects them when they visit e.g. an attacker-controlled site with, for example, a valid cookie-based session on your service. It prevents the attacker's site from making dangerous authenticated requests to your API service and reading the result.

> If someone is really determined they will either 1) turn off CORS with a browser extension 2) simply call your precious API from something other than an a browser

That's not what CORS is designed to protect against at all, of course you can hit an API separately and your HTTP client will ignore the CORS headers. Your HTTP client isn't a browser! It doesn't need to worry about CORS.

Similarly, users shooting themselves in the foot by disabling CORS are only hurting themselves. They are not the attacker here.

You have two options in my opinion. Your healthcare experience is worth a lot. The most money is if you jump on the bandwagon (for example go work for EPIC, or go into management at a hospital). If you need to look yourself in the mirror while you shave (to avoid cuts), my solution is to be the vendor.

You can do delivery for stuff medical companies buy (delivery/residencies/support) and your experience on the customer side will add big bucks to the salary the vendor pays you. Hospitals use AIX, they run EPIC on it. IBM will pay you more if you can go to hospitals that buy from them and help them set up AIX for EPIC. If you do storage like I do, those hospitals buy EMC/IBM storage, and medical applications need specific layout, path and disk group separation, etc - if you know those, EMC/IBM will pay you more. Your "customer" at this point is the IT staff at the hospital, and they're good guys and a pleasure to work with.

If you want even more money, again go for a vendor or a VAR, but do presales engineering. One downside to that, those toxic unethical managers are now your customer. But they'll pay you a lot, and you won't be asked to attempt killing people with a script by making an xray disappear from a display during surgery.

Both options are good, I've done and do both. If you work for a VAR instead of a vendor, you get the same salary as the vendor, but you also get spiffs from the vendor. I average about $5k/month in spiffs when I do presales engineering. But you feel a bit like a used car salesman - the spiffs are bigger when you sell what the vendor is pushing instead of the best solution.

So in short - all depends on how "straight-edge" you are, and how comfortable you are being around bs. the worse the smell, the more cash in your pocket unfortunately. I personally have screwed large corporations out of millions to end up with tens of thousands extra in my pocket. And that's something I don't like, but am comfortable with - as opposed to damaging individual people. If you are completely ethical, more power to you. Go work for VMware or Nasuni or something on the delivery side, tell them you know a bunch of medical applications, and they'll pay you more.

As ballpark, the current ceilings from my personal experience (storage), the total income including bonus and spiffs are: 150k delivery engineer for a vendor, 140k delivery engineer for a VAR, 180k vendor presales engineer, 200-250k pse at a VAR (because of spiffs). In cali or nyc, add about 10% to those. personal fulfillment is on the delivery side, monetary is in presales.
That's clearly not true given that the number of cases in highly vaccinated countries is as high or higher than before.

Firstly, NBC? They're not exactly going to give you a balanced view, are they. Anyway. The article is about an academic study. Those are near worthless: even theoretical studies with 100% external validity frequently come out too late to be informative. The real world data is what matters here. Perhaps someone who was literally just jabbed spreads it less, but if the protection lasts three months it's irrelevant and misleading to make a temporally unbounded claim "vaccinated people are less likely to spread COVID".

Way off base, we (I?) are not talking about paying taxes vs donations. In fact as an European myself now living in Japan yeah, tax the shit out of everyone, and stop bombing/gunning everyone and instead pay for healthcare+university with that money :)

Now since I'm not native I think I might have explained myself wrong; see sibling comment (to yours) I made clarifying what I meant.
Indeed. The FDA just has a multi-step process where you need to define how you'll run your trials, what data you'll collect and whether it's enough to get approval.

The FDA very carefully reviews the submissions, requires validation of tests and safeguards so data can't easily be manipulated. But the system is built on trust. If a company wants to manipulate, fake or exclude negative data they can. They'll likely get caught, but not always.

It seems like every few months I read some new way of articulating the idea that code that's hard to maintain and modify is frustrating. Some, like this, don't really pose solutions, some do, but most I think fail to realize that their advice inevitably falls apart in some case

Extremely modular/functional code can require understanding more separated moving pieces, which may well be scattered to the winds in a zillion different files and combined in clever but counterintuitive ways

Extremely object-oriented code has lots of mutability, inheritance, and encapsulation gotchas that make users of an API less likely to understand what's happening under the hood of some class

Extremely terse code can be difficult to parse the logic out of,
extremely verbose code can take forever to read and be hard to hold in your head,
extremely abstract code can be hard to parse out how it accomplishes the application,
extremely purpose-specific code can be ridiculously idiosyncratic and be hard to separate into digestible pieces, and so on and so forth. I've heard a lot of code organization advice and could keep doing this for hours.

I had a student tell me a personal project's codebase looked like the necronomicon once after an overhaul I made to make it more readable from my perspective

There are sometimes takeaways from all these analogies and policies and just generally opinions about how to write code people can supposedly maintain or modify or read more easily, and I definitely use and take some of them to heart. But most advice is really bad at generalizing, and I often feel that the most readable style of code is whatever one that I prefer and can convince people who work with me on it to prefer (Or, you know, vice versa as the case may be)
Similar for many other things, the report most countries based the safety of roundup on was written by Monsanto itself. Most countries only check these reports for completeness and obvious errors, they don't try to run the studies themselves. However that "error checking" of the report is something where the FAA fucked up, the information on the MCAS provided by Boeing was completely out of date, either the documented testing procedures where incomplete or the FAA did not notice that the MCAS handled cases far outside of its original specification.
None. I don't contact prospects, I don't look for customers. My "team" is just me doing almost everything from coding the site to making the database to the design to the logo to the marketing and PR.

Most of my traffic is word-of-mouth (look this guy made his own startup with just a PHP script and no team, eg this HN thread is marketing too) and from Google for "remote jobs".

Recently, I hired a part-time contractor for customer support on Remote OK. And @daniellockyer has been a very-part-time contractor to keep the VPS secure and fast over the years. But that's it.
The risk of death if you get polio is much higher than COVID, but the probability of getting COVID is much much higher than it was of getting polio. This makes the overall current risk if dying from COVID roughly 100x the overall risk of dying from polio was in 1952. I realize that, psychologically, a low-probability-high-risk event can seem scarier than a high-probability-lower-risk event, but is it really unreasonable of me to expect people to also be able to make rational assessments of overall danger? Do you really think we're complete slaves to our psychological biases?

When looking (briefly) at the API documentation, I was mostly interested in mesh manipulation - and there it says "Currently, for more advanced features such as mesh modifiers, object types, or shader nodes, C/C++ must be used." (https://docs.blender.org/api/current/info_overview.html#inte...)
>What would a society look like if you somehow forcibly limited the number of people you could contact?

You just need to look back into history and see. We've basically been increasing the reach of contact, being the end game: globalization.

So you'd have:

- several monopolies spread across many countries instead of Google for example;

- less massive companies like Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Apple;

- less access to services and goods;

- less emigration and brain power leakage;

- less economic growth;

- and the list goes on

Like this board wouldn't exist if you forced that limit.

Is this bad? I don't think it has to be bad necessarily, it's a choice that wasn't made in the past and some countries/organizations have benefited from it more then others.

At some level, you have to trust the information you get.

There is also good reason to trust it, especially when it comes from a large company such as Boeing: it is stupid for such an organization to lie to you, because it risks its existence for the rather small payoff of avoiding delays for a single model.

It’s even worse for individual employees at the company: they risk jail time and aren’t even the direct beneficiary.

Example: see above
That might be what the authors want (the 1.0 spec mentioned configuration, the 1.2 spec mostly mentions data serialization) but in terms of actual use, it's pretty widely used as a configuration language. There would be no need for optional quote rules, inline hashes/lists or multiple flow styles (all of which YAML supports) if it was purely a serialization language.

If you make something human-readable, humans will edit it. The only reliable way to prevent that is to make the serialisation format binary, IMO.

YAML also supports a number of really powerful features like you point out (tags, anchors etc.) but I don't see them widely used due to security risks with untrusted input, and interlanguage compatibilty problems. So personally I don't think it's a super good data serialisation language either, despite its power, at least compared to something like Protobuf.
> Linus took a look at Monotone and Mercurial IIRC, but they were not nearly fast enough at that time

That's incorrect for Mercurial, it was started by another kernel developer (Matt Mackall) at the same time, for the same reasons (but they ended-up with different trade-offs, which makes mercurial still very interesting and relevant in a post-github world).
At Google making 300k total comp means you're probably a high-performing L4 or a new L5 (senior). Your day can look like absolutely anything.

I know people making 300k that are writing hundreds of lines of high-quality code in important systems every single day for years in a row and also doing code reviews, system design, etc. Very productive engineers doing traditional tasks.

I also know people at that level who spend their days watching YouTube videos and hoping nobody notices. On many teams, nobody ever does. It's easier to hire one extra person at these big companies than to fire one.

All these two people have in common is that they can pass an interview and they know how to write an email.

(Aside: the latter category makes me pretty angry because I know so many good programmers in India, Eastern Europe, etc who could change their whole families' lives with that kind of money but can't get it from a lazy American)
> The dynamic isn't that the evidence is unambiguous, but rather that when the evidence is inconclusive falling back to first principles makes sense. Respiratory filtration should help prevent spread of respiratory pathogens, period.

I respect your view and completely agree that personal protective equipment should be examined further. The current evidence is definitely sufficient for a strong mask recommendation. I’m only critical of mandates (or bans) in this situation as they push people away from doing their own research and lead to bizarre scenes, as you encountered it with your respirator.

The problem isn't just foreign nationals. There's plenty of CIA inside FAAMG.

It is always a mistake to use nationality as a proxy for trustworthiness.

Being a US person, personally I'm much more concerned with the negative impacts of US spies spying in the US than foreign spies spying in the US.

Foreign governments don't regularly go around mass murdering and torturing Americans the way the US government does.

Americans have a lot more to lose from CIA spying than they do from Saudi intelligence agency spying.

We had a mandatory "informatics" class in all years (age 6 to 18).

At start we learned how to use computers and programming in logo.
Age 10 was HTML.
Then there was a year for OpenOffice, a year for 3D graphics in Blender (I think when we were like 14). We had some lessons on vector graphics in Inkscape. Some lessons on audio editing in Audacity.
We learned some Unix basics. Later we returned to HTML and learned CSS.

Age 13 we learned C, the more motivated ones continued with Allegro and later C++.
Age 15 PHP and SQL
There was also a semester on finite state machines, but that was much less popular among students.

I graduated in 2010 and I am very happy regarding the curiculum my teachers built (out of their own volition and motivation).

Nowadays I think they also do Python and focus more on generic internet researching / verifying information.

free/cheaper network egress traffic and you will beat RDS.

See the RDS costing is not fully transparent. you pay CRAZY LOT for backups - backup to s3 is impossible, except in a weird parquet way. This is a cost lock-in.

you again pay CRAZY LOT for network egress. so i cant use a Vercel app with RDS. ill just spend a lot on network.

these two features and anybody will switch:
1. cheap network traffic
2. cheap backups.

charge me 20% above RDS (for the base machine) and ill pay happily.

I got into programming because I love computers and messing with them. I took a job as a professional Software Engineer because the job market was excellent and I could get paid for doing what I found fun. The money was good but I'd have done it for less at the time.

Now why did I _stay_ at a FAANG company doing mostly boring low-stakes work? For the money. I say that with no shame and I encourage others to consider doing it for the money.

It's life-changing money and the job is still pretty good! I still get to write code and talk about code for a living. I also have to go to some really stupid meetings and deal with bureaucracy and use strange tools but ... so what? It's still a good deal. Who knows when this market for our talents will disappear.

It’s not spaming because at best you are the one writing the unsolicited messages, but I don’t belie what you are doing counts as spaming either. You have a reason to do what you are doing. I would still suggest that you stop writing them, especially about R/relationshiop.

Honestly when it comes to anything to do with dating or politics you might just want to avoid reddit like the plague. You will only find pockets weirdos and radicals that will dump on you for breaching some sacred idea of theirs and that includes the moderators. Even if you would get advice it would most likely be bad and might make things worse for you. You can also forget about there being cultural considerations or considerations for any disabilities or problems you might have.

I also wouldn’t go searching for dating or relationship advice on the internet in general. You will find advice tainted by either radical feminism, MGTOW, dating coaches or just people trying to spare your feelings from hard truth.

Dating and relationships is a subject in counseling and psychology. It would probably be easier and less stressful to look up some books on the subject in a library (staying away from pop psychology) and talking with people you know and trust who have the types of relationships you want.
