Here's the relevant section of the guidelines: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6648#section-3

Creators of new parameters to be used in the context of application
protocols:

1. SHOULD assume that all parameters they create might become
standardized, public, commonly deployed, or usable across
multiple implementations.

2. SHOULD employ meaningful parameter names that they have reason to
believe are currently unused.

3. SHOULD NOT prefix their parameter names with "X-" or similar
constructs.

Note: If the relevant parameter name space has conventions about
associating parameter names with those who create them, a parameter
name could incorporate the organization's name or primary domain name
(see Appendix B for examples).
I think that might be part of the difference. OP sounds like they are talking about acquaintances. You're always happy for a friend's success. They don't take away from you. Helping them does feel good.
The quora answer [1] by Franklin Veaux to question "How can a disease with 1% mortality shut down the United States?" explains nicely that it is not binary live/die at all. Mind though that this was written in the beginning of the pandemic when we didn't have the same information as now, so numbers may be imprecise, but the explanation still stands.

I have some bad news for you: if your child is college bound then they are about to go into another environment that has been profoundly damaged by the pandemic: a college campus. Students at my university are angry and depressed about the fact that they're paying thousands of dollars for glorified university of Phoenix. The college social scene is also obviously heavily disrupted, which is probably an underappreciated factor in the development of young people.

If I were of college age and was able, I'd take a gap year or two without any hesitation.
The part about the under-20-year-old children who fell to gun violence in Chicago raised my eye. Thats a problem but I don't know it's a covid problem, and I'm not certain that people over 18 count as children.
I no longer tell my family about my success, because it begets requests for help. And it seems like other more distant family just wind up being jealous. It’s kind of isolating, because most of us want to share our highs and lows with old friends, not new friends.

I don’t really have any specific advice, except for maybe try to be empathetic.

Your friends or family probably have all the exact problems as before, except now they can try to use money to fix them. But the money might not even work: think of all the celebs you know about who still struggle with mental health, drug abuse and family problems.

That is to say, understand the money doesn’t fix all their problems. So in other words enjoy the fancy meals or nice views your friends share with you. But remember there’s only one dimension of life that’s better for them.
Coming up next: “We don’t use source control. Git just slows us down. Our engineers don't want to spend time writing commit messages when they can be writing features instead. We keep all our code in a shared folder and we trust our team members to not mess it up!”

Well, this can be done. Lots of software was written before code reviews or source control existed. But I’m not longing for that time.
Well, the ideal outcome is to use the QALYs (or NHS Adjusted QALYs) to inform discussion, but it is considered a bit gauche (perhaps unfortunately for informed policy making) to identify that maybe the whole and absolute death of an 80 year old with emphysema isn't nearly as significant as some amount of disability to a 25 year old.

i.e. there is a one-way ratchet on these measures since one direction is gated by the "trade grandma for a dollar" line.
I'm a parent, not a teacher, but my public school has gone through three phases of the pandemic since my son entered kindergarten:

1. Beginning of last school year: entirely remote. (Except for some children of essential workers; they were in a computer lab-like setting. In many cases they were in their regular school's classrooms, but not the same ones as their teachers, and the other kids in the room would be in different Zoom classes.) This was awful for the standpoint of learning or child care. Adults can barely stand Zoom for that long. I did my best to help my son keep focused, but it didn't work that well, and it came at the expense of my focus on my own work. I have a friend who just pulled her kids from public school for this time and went full-on home-schooling. She said the whole family's mental health and the educational experience greatly improved.

2. End of last school year: most kids in the classroom most days, a few unlucky ones still fully remote due to classroom size limits not actually recommended by the CDC, everyone on Zoom. The classroom is basically a computer lab, but now at least everyone in the room is doing the same thing. Obviously this was better for (most of) the parents, and a little better socially for (most of) the kids, but I think still pretty lousy for learning. The experience wasn't as engaging for the kids as it'd normally be, and the teacher has lost the parents who to varying extents helped keep the kids focused in phase #1.

3. This school year: kids in the classroom, wearing masks, getting weekly pooled COVID tests. If the pool tests positive, everyone gets tested individually and (for 10 days) goes into a "modified quarantine". Under those rules, kids who haven't individually tested positive can be in the classroom with the kids who have already been exposed to the same thing, but no after-school programs or extracurriculars or the like.

I of course hated phase #1 and #2, and I think they far outlasted any reasonable belief they were worthwhile. Phase #3 seems like a more reasonable compromise. I'm sure learning would be better if everything were normal, but this isn't as obviously harmful as phases #1 and #2 were. My son is definitely learning things at school. I don't know how much compared to a normal year. I too would love to hear a frank teacher's perspective on this.

I live in an area where the case rates have been relatively low, which obviously helps. Less disruption due to sickness/quarantine.

I wouldn't mind moving on to phase #4 where school-aged kids must have the COVID vaccine (along with the many other vaccines that are already required) and school goes back to normal. Schools should be fully open before restaurants and bars and the like.

My daughter's pre-K and too young for the vaccine but that's another story.
Econometric models are mentioned twice in that paper, and only to note that they are generally not used and will not be used in the present study, which favors a certain type of general-equilibrium model called the MSG model.
Not in the US but I recently helped my niece in math (7th grade) remotely since they now do fractions and also negative numbers. When I tested if she could calculate a random sum with unequal denominators she tried to add them up like someone who never saw fractions before. Also the school teaching sounds like chaos, classes are split and they apparently didn't even have an opportunity to go through the test in class together. My sister is worried since her grades dropped this year and considers putting her into another school because other subjects aren't great either. Luckily she's now going to in-person tutoring.
this is cool, BUT as a onewheel owner who's spent way too much time learning about them and the knock-offs, it's not the hardware that's the tricky bit. It's the software.

the knockoffs are NOT GOOD and thus even _more_ dangerous to ride because no-one else has figured out how to get the balancing software right.

so, yeah, if you go into this project, know that regardless of how awesome your hardware skills are, the software is the bit that's _really_ going to take a lot of time if you want an experience anywhere close to the official one.
Culturally, your value as a person is correlated to wealth. Society is structured to be more difficult for those who don’t have high paying jobs, material goods or stable housing / real estate.

A glass half-full approach doesn’t resolve wealth inequality.

So the main selling point to "rational" people is that you can connect your wallet to websites?

As in potentially link your income to every site you want access to?

If I wanted to do micro transactions, and let everyone drain my bank account, I'd not have 2fa on, use my real name, address DoB for things.
Good CR's are great, bad CR's are an incredible waste of time and you might as well not do them at all.

We had a similar system where you trust people to know when you can skip the CR, worked great. We also ranked CR comments on importance, focussed on preventing issues, and avoid subjective discussions as much as possible. It meant CR's were mostly about bug catching, sometimes constructive conversations weighing pro's and cons, and other times making suggestions that may or may not be applied.

It's so much nicer than a dogmatic nitpicking CR culture that completely forgets about what's valuable and not. Maybe it's my relative small sample size but I feel they always go together.
Trinity told Cypher her part of the prophecy (“The Oracle told me that I would fall in love, and that that man, the man who I loved would be The One.”), and Cypher thought he was in love with Trinity, which is why Cypher teases her about it: in the dialogue that opens the movie (“You like him, don’t you? You like watching him.”, “You don’t, do you?”), and again when neo is recovering on the ship (“I don’t remember you bringing me dinner. There is something about him, isn’t there?”), and finally when he betrays them (“You know, for a long time, I thought I was in love with you.”, “all I want is a little yes or no. Look into his eyes, those big pretty eyes. Tell me. Yes or no?”).
Keys are identities. Someone claiming to be you doesn't matter. Always defer to keys.

A non public ledger would be something agreed upon by participants only. So you and I and 5 other people for example could run some type of organization using some private way to keep track of state. You choose to trust it, if you don't, then don't use it.
Hello throwawayay02, yeah, CryptoPocket has several features, including the one you mentioned :) check it out here [1] it's a small project that I found and put on GitHub in case it comes in handy for someone ;)

Good god, no.
What scheduler do you use there?
The only hack that made my finally shipped my product is having a weekly sync with some friend and just talk about what I do. Make it a routine. It forces me to build.

This is my thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25911355

I launched it very early with lot of "hacky" feature(and still nowsadays).

Few thing to help you shipped:

- Choose something you are super and very familiar. This is your product, not your play ground to experiment
- Have your friend use it from day one. It forces you to roll up your sleeve and fix bugs
- Weekly sync

If you want, hit me up at vinh@mailwip.com and I can do a weekly sync 15mins with you.
I must confess that it looks cool, a bit like snowboarding without snow. How do you control the speed?
As an owner of a fairly new one of these, I sometimes dream of someone coming up with an accessory that converts the audio notifications into light notifications. A small LED would do. I realize different colors for different desires are too much to ask (unless the colors would be picked at random I guess), but I would be more than happy if it just showed intensity of desire via intensity of light.
> Why are parents being expected to teach at all during remote education?

Because an enormous amount education is classroom management and behavioral conditioning, neither of which are easy to do remotely.

This is sometimes talked about pejoratively. E.g., "so much of school is just babysitting". It's true in content. But the dismissive tone ignores the reality that for a vast majority of children, learning how to stay on task, especially in a suboptimal environment like a classroom or open office, is much more difficult than learning the actual content of any particular lesson.

I'm really surprised trails allow motorized conveyance anywhere in Colorado. Are you sticking to jeep trails or something?
Fantastic idea. The kids absolutely love the Jackbox games. Thank you so much for doing this. Would love to see more, wish you tremendous success!
Schools in my district are shut down because there aren’t enough substitute teachers to fill in for sick or retired faculty. The older ones are getting sick and dying, or quitting before they do. The younger ones don’t want to be paid $35k a year to be screamed at by parents for not teaching subjects the way parents want them to be taught.

Browse /r/teachers some time. It used to be a sub full of teachers venting steam about their students and sharing helpful tips. These days it’s just one post after another about teachers who are fed up and either quitting or planning to quit. They are proposing a new subreddit to handle the influx of complaints.

If your “stay open” analysis begins and ends with the immune system and virus response of the students, then your analysis is incomplete because you are missing a huge dynamic that is at play here.
> If it's a payment processing, it's not acceptable

In the payment processing company I'm working at we deal with that independently. We set some data on Redis with a TTL to signal some request has already been made in the last X minutes, and if the same request arrives again during the same period the cached response is served
I wonder how we'll look back at this in 10 years.
>My counter was that gas cars absolutely do have such components.

They do? From your previous message I'm guessing you're referring to the gas tank. While it's technically true you can kill yourself with a gas tank, I don't think it's anywhere near the danger of electric car batteries. For a gas tank there's a clear sequence of events needed to cause injury/death. You need to either puncture it and then expose it to an ignition source, or throw an ignition source directly into the tank. The first is likely to be noticed because gasoline has a distinctive smell, and is physically visible. It's also surprisingly to light gas on fire[1] even if there is a leak. The second is so implausible to happen it's not even worth considering.

On the other hand, it's very easy for someone to touch the wrong wires under the hood of an electric car and get fried. There's no warning, you just get zapped. You might need to expose some wiring/connectors to get shocked, but there's nothing that tells you that this particular exposed wire is going to kill you.

Of course. Top execs are critical to the companies success while those who do the work are fungible resources. If the workers were good, they’d be management, etc.
Realistically nobody is gonna give a crap unless you manage to be super distasteful about it.
Let’s not split hairs. I think we all know what I meant from context.
Why are so many vaccinated people getting Covid-19 lately?
It brings you down because you want what they have because you think that will make you happy.

It won't.

If they are happy, it's because they're internally happy. The riches are unrelated. I've met rich people who are very happy, and some who are alcoholics who can barely form a sentence.

“We make ourselves miserable by first closing ourselves off from reality and then collecting this and that in an attempt to make ourselves happy by possessing happiness. But happiness is not something I have, it is something I myself want to be. Trying to be happy by accumulating possessions is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches all over my body.” –Roger J. Corless (Not George Carlin)
Maybe it is time we start to rethink the benefits then? If it is not financially viable then its time for something new. Maybe the government could take after how the private sector pays
It's a poor idea to blindly assume anything you're capable of installing must be fine. That's been true for thirty years, whether you're talking about F-Droid, the Play Store, or Windows 98 and a downloaded executable. I had no problem taking a few minutes to think about what I was doing back then and I still don't.
It's easy to account for extreme snowfall, you look at the weather report. Other states just close stretches of the freeways and focus their plows on keeping some local roads open. VDOT saw the weather report and failed to account for their plowing capacity and decided to keep this road open. These drivers wouldn't have even been on that road if this storm happened in another state.
What can you do better than your friends? Surely something?
I have no money, but I cook better than almost every restaurant in town.

Develop your arts, money might follow if you want it that much.
It was a real thing, we know the same stuff from Roman sources about Carthage which shared much of their culture with Canaan.
No, I'm sure there are more diplomatic ways.
Because kids are the responsibility of their parents, and parents are not the responsibility of their kid (well, until those kids are adults themselves at least). Why would you expect a 5-year-old to take care of their adult parents? And why wouldn't you expect an adult parent to take care of their 5-year-old?
My experience with rich friends is different than yours. But I have some friends that make me sad as depressed as well.

I'm as poor as you (renting a small apartment and will never be able to afford a house) and I also have very rich friends. Seeing them does not make me sad. We keep doing the same thing we did as teenagers, drink beer, talk about ultra-nerd things, etc. I'm not particularly interested in their houses, and when they talk about big money I mock them mercilessly "what happened to you? your ass used to be beautiful!". It's great fun overall.

Some other friends of mine are in big trouble. Drugs, cancer, etc. Seeing them makes me really sad and depressed. Moreover, when I avoid seeing them for a few months I feel very guilty because they rarely initiate contact.
Money doesn't make you happy, unless you have more of it than your peers. So I suggest you erase all memory of your rich friends and instead get accquainted with poorer perople. You'll be happier, apparently.

Could you offer some examples of such career paths? Are these not in tech?
There actually were unit tests for it, there was just an edge case I didn’t think to test that caused things to crash, which caused a cascading error.
You would hope that newer chip designs become competitive, if only because it would be truly terrible for Intel if this wasn't true. As a non VLSI person, what I read suggests Intel fell off their tick-tock model badly, and mis-stepped (hah) the drop down in size (density, power, speed) compared to the others.

So being told a more recent design by Intel is speed competitive with Apple's M1? Good: Thats what's meant to happen. Now: rinse and repeat for the M2, M3 ...
I did not pivot. And to anyone reading my post, it should be so obvious that I did not pivot that your claim that I did verges on flatly dishonest.

We knew COVID was not dangerous to children by early summer 2020. The article says this and the article is correct. I simply and plainly repeated this.

It was never the case that anyone who was paying attention believed school closures might be the only thing standing between COVID and mass death of children. That did not happen. It did not happen. It never happened.

Please dispense with any further nonsense about subtlety. Speak plainly and without subtlety, as I am doing.
Expanding highways is sold as "making traffic better", or "scaling to day-to-day traffic" as the grandparent poster put it.

However, what expanding highways actually accomplishes is incentivizing people to move out of the city because they can have a commute which is longer in miles but shorter in minutes. That lasts until enough people move to the suburb that the commute is now longer in miles AND equal time or longer in minutes. You haven't made traffic any better, you've just made sprawl worse and you've increased the vehicle miles traveled to accomplish the same result of getting people where they want to be.

The message of the New Urbanists is that we should make our cities more livable and build/allow more housing units within the cities so that more people can live where their commutes are short (in terms of miles) and the increase in density will make providing transit more cost-effective.
For me, as long as my family is happy and healthy and we're on track to have an OK retirement and no significant negatives, that's good enough. Am I depressed that I didn't go work for <startup XYZ> that my friends started and exited with three commas? (Not some hypothetical/wishful "what if?" but rather a specific conversation in a conference room of "hey, come join us".) I can sometimes wish I'd joined them, but I didn't do the work, didn't take the risk, and I'm happy enough with where I'm at (and genuinely happy for them).

If your rental house has what you need, keeps you warm and dry and lets you cook your meals in it, why be ashamed of it? Unless you're Elon Musk (or Vladmir Putin or Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum), someone will always have more money than you.

If you decide the game is about being the richest person, 99.999999987% of people will lose that game. If you decide that the game is about enjoying life, friendships, and similar, over 90% of the people can win that game.

Context: I'm in the "millionaire next door" category, probably like plenty of middle-aged tech folks. Our "nice" car is a 2015 LEAF. The other one is a 2005 Honda CR-V. Somewhere in the top 5% household income, low single-digit millionaire, but exposed to a lot of people who have made tres-commas money, have their own jets, or whatever.
How many alcoholics suffer DT? Clearly not most. Most people just go to a support group and try to abstain, and they do not die.

If deaths from DT were more than a corner case, then AA would be be considered to be a suicide pact.

The Great Venture Capital Rotation (2013)
Code reviews where some coworker looks at the changes, types "LGTM", and proceeds to approve it do next to nothing to prevent bugs and bad decisions.

Code reviews where some coworker runs the code on their machine and has plenty of time and power to express the ways it could break or it could be improved are useful.

When the former review happens more often than the latter, if often has to do with soft skills rather than hard skills. Some requirements for a good review are honesty, mutual respect, and ability to handle criticism. Other than that, some engineers struggle to understand there may be more than one good approach to a problem.

Ultimately, engineers are not entirely to blame for bad reviews. In my experience it is often a company culture issue. Authoritarian leadership trickles down to middle management, senior engineers, etc. If people don't feel empowered to challenge others code regardless of their seniority or perceived status, weird or downright bad technical decisions will be made.
Genuinely curious as a vegetarian: aren't vegetables considered a part of daily meals in your household? I've been asked this question by a couple of friends and in my experience, it depends on how the veggies are cooked (there are a million ways to make them tasty), and if the kids actually see adults eat veggies regularly.
