What I mean is you can take two different vaccines, but it won't result in two different antibody responses. If you take a less effective vaccine like the J&J, doubling up on the Pfizer vaccine isn't expected to 'upgrade' your antibody response, though it can still strengthen immune response. If spike proteins change the immune response may change, but in this situation all vaccine are based on the same spike protein.

The science is always developing, but mixing and matching vaccines tends to lead to more side effects according to at least one study. From what I remember personally in the beginning doctors were recommending people keep the same manufacturer but that isn't considered necessary anymore

Theranos' marketing promise/demo was a small box that supposedly ran a number of usually laborious blood tests on a drop of blood. That box actually returned pre-programmed results, or just ran tests using traditional equipment.

With this, we can imagine scenarios that would be comparable for a Tesla, or any othet tech startup. It seems relatively safe to say that Tesla's FSD doesn't just pipe out the computation to a competitor or something, so by this thought experiment, it at least has that going for it.

There's moonshot, and then there is farce. Theranos was farcical, but someone might do it some day. Tesla, at the very least, still has chances to deliver.
Yes, it is harder to handle the transition of voiced B to unvoiced T than it is to handle the transition from unvoiced P to unvoiced T. If you try to voice the B, you will likely end up with a voiced D at the end “Debd”.

1) is it safe to automatically retry the request? - this meshes well with what you're saying

2) is it safe to return a cached version of the response, instead of sending the request again? Idempotence in your sense is necessary but not sufficient for this case - hence the various content expiration and If-Newer-Then etc headers.

> The children in our family don't speak the same language as their grandparents did ... This doesn't seem to matter in any way that I've noticed

Speaking as a grandchild who didn't have the fortune of being exposed to my grandparents' language growing up, I felt that I missed out on a wealth of cultural knowledge and experience, which is what drove me to learn the language as an adult. I very much wish that I would have been taught by my family as a child.

> What would be an example of this?

Azt a fűzfán fütyülő réz angyalát!

This is the first example that came to my mind. It's not even the best example. The literal translation is "Unto that copper angel whistling on the willow tree", and it could be substituted with "Wow!" but good luck figuring out why it means that and why people use it instead of "Hűha".

Another more recent example, "Szeretném elkérni Mészáros Lőrinc anyukájának lencsefőzelék receptjét". You simply won't be able to understand what that means or why someone would say it as a literal translation.

> it's a waste of resources

I always laugh at the people that take this notion way too seriously. If their CPU is only 98% idle, it's a travesty. I imagine the same people driving around in cars stripped of all paneling and upholstery, because every little bit of unnecessary weight hurts performance!

> There's no point in not having a little fluff that makes the experience a bit more fun.

Well put. Considering how much time we spend staring at these stupid little number boxes, things that makes the experience a little more enjoyable are worthwhile, even if they're dumb and frivolous.
Because they work at a standard level of abstraction (the file system) and can be replaced if necessary. I can replace Dropbox with Box or Syncthing or OwnCloud or rsync or sftp coupled with crontab or an FSEventsD monitor or whatever I want, at any time I want.

1Password's proprietary sync isn't open source and isn't open standards. It is designed to lock me into reliance on a company that has inarguably demonstrated that it hates its users.
I feel bad for her too. She messed up, and probably did it intentionally too. That's messed up, but how much physical harm did people suffer? 60 years of prison time's worth? Near as I can tell a bunch of investors lost some money. Are they on the street now, begging for dinner? Kinda doubt it. Maybe there's a more fitting punishment.
> British English appears to drop the 'r' entirely

Yeah, but the Brits make up for that by stuffing a lot of extraneous 'r's in between other words.

(TBF, that's a kind of sensible simplification of pronunciation: it's used when one word ends and the next starts with a wovel, to ease the transition.)
> Is it supposed to sound like the end of "turquoise?"

Yes, though some speakers use an S rather than a Z sound (think "choice").

I have only heard these pronunciations from British speakers.
Yes, your praise has been noted.
I think _scatters_ meant “bt” that combination is difficult to produce without introducing an additional vowel. The “pt” is easier.
Why in the world would nobles have superior genes in the first place? Since being noble is merely hereditary by "blood," there's no genetic pressure that would select for intelligence. If anything due to intermarriage they'd be more likely to have birth defects leading to low intelligence, I would imagine.
> But if you GET /posts/123 and then do it again, and in between, the author updated the post, you’d expect to get the latest version of the post, no?

Not necessarily - plenty of systems offer no such guarantees, and the Web is by design eventually consistent [0]. This is what content expiration and various other cache control mechanisms are for - it's not always so important to get the latest version of a document. For example, the HN logo or index.html can probably be safely cached for days, since they are very unlikely to change, and even if they do, it's unlikely to have a major problem if someone only sees the new version after a few days.

[0] Note that, at the extreme, due to special relativity, there is no absolute notion of "latest version" on the scale of geographically distributed computers: it's physically impossible to say if a request made in China to a server in the USA happened before or after a change on the server, if they happened close enough together - order of tens of milliseconds, an eternity in compute time.

Agreed, happy user of Paprika here. It also has multi-device syncing, so my wife and I have a common place for them. We both cook quite a lot. Found Paprkia via HN comments 2-4 years ago. It is paid, and there's a Mac laptop app that is an extra charge. Around they holidays they usually have a sale, but I think it was ~$10 for both my wife and I to get.
> I wonder whether "fake facts" (bogus names, numbers, addresses) are copyrightable.

This has, unfortunately, been upheld on occasion. True damages from copying such false entries would be nonexistent, naturally, but statutory damages are blind to such trivialities as justice or proportionality.

Morally speaking, anything presented as fact (including entries in a phone book or notations on a map) should be treated as fact and thus not copyrightable. Something along the lines of estoppel should prevent one from claiming that they are providing a database of facts and then suing the recipient for reproducing copyrightable "creative elements" which don't belong there. Also, selling someone a database of "facts" with deliberate fictitious entries mixed in which are not specifically labeled as such should be classified as fraud and open the publisher up to liability should anyone suffer the slightest harm due to the false entries.
I don't get a warning for this code:

async function foo() {
try {
// promise1 will resolve after one second
let promise1 = new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000))
// promise2 will wait for the next even loop tick to call its error handler
let promise2 = Promise.reject('something bad')

// At this point, you should await promise2, or set an error handler using .catch
// But you can do some sync stuff if you want to:
someExpensiveCPUStuff()

// No warning in Node.js
let result2 = await promise2;
let result1 = await promise1;
}
catch (ex) {
console.log(ex)
}
}
I think it's the language used that makes this sounds suspect. "Use layout components to control spacing" would be more clear about what the author is saying
I also think this blog post betrays a lack of understanding about when it's appropriate to draw lines around "the plot" of a series. Like, it doesn't surprise me that they played with ideas that might have contradicted the trilogy - but they ended up not including them, and those ideas made an appearance later, which actually supports the claim that they were thinking about 2 and 3 during 1.

Like, shooting and then deleting a scene that you think might hurt the plot in future movies is "carefully planning in advance."

Disney Star Wars however was by far the most blatant example. The sequel trilogy had no overarching plan at all. The Directors were free to make whatever story they wanted.

This of course ended terribly in Episode 8 when Johnson single-handedly destroyed everything Abrams had put in place and left him nothing to go on for the finale.
It's definitely an arms race. Sort of like tax avoidance. As long as you have search engines ordering results, I guess you'll have people who seek to game the results. The question for me is whether what Google does can be improved upon. I think we can do much better.

Tim Draper is one person. It's the non SV/VC members that would be a factor here. Of course I could be wrong: There's enough to Theranos to make the career of any prosecutor involved, and that may have been enough. But speculating on that as the animus doesn't seem any more or less unreasonable than speculating that people who were on the board for their government influence might have been a factor. They may never even have needed to make a call: Having the names of two former Secretaries of State, a former Secretary of Defense, and a 4-star general attached to a scandal would be more than enough passive influence for people in the DOJ to perk up their ears and start looking to see what the heck happened.

It's amazing how much clever engineering went into such a simple device.

And how much it is forgotten today. I have a couple 5 gallon plastic gas containers. They are terrible in comparison. For example, instead of an air pipe to allow smooth pouring, there's a separate cap which has to be unscrewed, and then the cap is inevitably lost.

Modern ones have this spring-loaded spout, which is supposed to prevent spillage. It inevitably causes spillage, because the spring is so strong you cannot regulate the flow, and the tank fills too fast and overflows. I hate spilling gas every time I load the lawnmower tank.

I did propose a solution to all these reputational damages you mentioned: requiring clearly labeling derivative works as derivative works. Someone selling something that looks like your work won't affect your reputation if they have to explicitly and clearly disclaim that the derivative work has nothing to do with you. We can make this requirement last significantly longer than copyright.

And someone selling copies cheaper might give you a reputation for being too expensive, but a) that's the money issue again, and b) this can only happen after 20-50 years, at which point you've had plenty of time to build your business, and c) even after 20-50 years, you only have a problem if you were completely stagnant, because any new changes you made to the work will last 20-50 years after the most recent change.

If you don't think that this solution is sufficient, then it would seem that we've found the main point of disagreement.

You also asked:

> What makes you qualified to opine on how long it takes for a creator to make “enough money”? What makes you qualified to decide that a certain amount of monetary harm is “less important”?

The way I answer these questions is by viewing money as a means to an end. I think money only matters insofar as it positively or negatively affects someone's life, so to me the question is, "to what extent is this person negatively impacted by less money 20-50 years later, compared to everyone who is negatively impacted by the restrictions on their actions?"

---

As for the rest of my comment, I was elaborating on my opinions, yes. And yes, these opinions are largely based on what seems reasonable to me. I don't have the desire nor time to do a thorough study to find the actually correct number of years, and even if I did, the question is sufficiently complicated that I expect that there would still be a lot of uncertainty left even after thorough research. In addition, since it's partially a moral issue, gut feeling will always be a necessary component of this.

Finally, your original question wasn't about concrete numbers, merely persuasiveness:

> But, devil’s advocate, I haven’t heard a super convincing argument as to why something I make should ever revert to public domain, especially while I’m alive. Why shouldn’t I have the right to take my work to my grave and never have someone else profit from it?

So I don't feel bad about explaining my own point of view, which is persuasive to me even if not to you, as an attempt to answer that question.
And as a result google search in general has been going downhill for the last 5 years. It's getting so bad, that I've openly been trying other search engines. Unfurtunately, duckduckgo has the same problem. I'm keeping an eye out for other search engines to do most of my searches.
Sometimes you find the optimal path after trying others.

Seems pretty natural to me.
Typical Debian:

"I am proposing that Debian should routinely compile Rust packages against dependencies in violation of the declared semver, and ship the results to Debian’s millions of users."

What could go possible wrong. We all know that debian maintainers have much better technical experience in managing complex dependencies, ha!
Would love a programming language where optional pre- and post-invariants were a first-class language feature. So each line could be:

<pre-invariants> | <line of code> | <post-invariants>.

Then just let the compiler figure out the optimal ordering of things, figure out which things can be async automatically, and also perhaps this could be a built-in IDE static analysis tool to help catch logical errors earlier ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis always catches me as something we should investigate more, but unfortunately it’s mired in the broader conflict of cultural relativity, as I learned when my anthro professor tried to disprove it with a convoluted argument from an aboriginal tribes notion of direction. A diversity of languages means a diversity of thought, which maybe you could make the case for more multilingual teams from.

English seems to suck as a language but it has risen to be the lingua franca of our present world system - how much of that is because British and American superpowerdom vs being a good lingua franca is up for debate.
Even language exchange apps are dating apps.
And also a warm-up to see what ILM could do in Episode I. The people working on the SE pretty much rolled right into working on TPM when it was finished.
Probably not. It's a cute idea which doesn't hold water.
Reminds me of Japanese. I'm probably going to get the technical terms wrong but every Japanese sound ends in a vowel except 'n'. If you ask a Japanese person how to say a word they will pronounce every vowel but if you listen to them say the word in actual usage they often drop many of the vowels.

If you ask them about it most of them think they are saying the vowel because in their mind, since they've been taught that way their entire life, there is always a vowel. But record them and process the phonemes out and they are dropping it 99% of the time.

The most common examples are "desu" and "suki". You can find examples of people saying "de-su" and "su-ki" but most of the time they just say "des" and "ski".

It's a problem for foreign language students because the teacher will tell them it's "de-su" and "su-ki" and then the student will say "de-su" and "su-ki" and not sound remotely like a native.
