> children won't eat grownup food so you should offer something else.

Having grown up in an immigrant household where the children’s plate is just a smaller version of the adult plate, is this a thing in American households? The kids eat an entirely separate meal-course from the adults?

I know baby food is processed but once a kid gets teeth, they’re just given what the adults eat.

My grandmother would have banish from the table if I had ever even dared to ask to eat something separate.
There is a group of users here on HN that REALLY like cryptocurrency‘s and blockchains and such. Web3 seems to be the latest on that hype-train.

There is a different group here on HM that REALLY hates it all. It was interesting technologically but then it started producing more CO2 and using more energy than reasonably sized countries. It also seems to be the method du jour for scammers to take money from people. It’s almost single handedly enabled the ransomware industry.

And people like to shit on the current hot thing, deservedly or not.

So here we are.
Why do you think "precedent" is solely a legal concept? Would you say "work" is solely a physics concept?
You're missing half the story; "demand" only makes sense with reference to a price. At the moment, that price is zero, but it needn't be. As we all know, market prices are an efficient mechanism to allocate scarce resources. People have a curious blindspot about this when it comes to roads.
A while ago I caved in and purchased and installed Bitdefender, which I knew was all right.

It wasn't. I didn't renew the license and uninstalled it.

FFWD a couple years and my best friend upgrades his PC. Threadripper Zen 2, 128GB RAM, 2x NVME RAID 0 for the system, another NVME for stuff and HDDs for backups. System was incredibly sluggish and unresponsive and his extra NVME was sometimes dropping from the list of drives shown by explorer. Uninstalled his Bitdefender and all the issues disappeared.

It's just complete robbery at this point. Malwarebytes is a good product for example and Windows Defender is enough. But the best stuff is disabling all of these and just use script blockers and safe browsing practices and you get to keep all the processing power you paid for.

Approval voting is excellent for public elections. It was used in Fargo and St Louis to apparent great public satisfaction.

https://electionscience.org/press-releases/st-louis-voters-u...

And computer simulations show that it does extremely well at measuring public support.

You're talking about how the _concept_ of approval makes you feel. But the _results_ you'll get with it are highly accurate/satisfying.
Nobody wants to get the disease which POSSIBLY could kill them or put them to hospital and perhaps financially bankrupt them and or give them bad long-term health outcomes. That has an effect on the behavior of everybody, except of course those who believe Covid is a "democratic hoax".

Also with an evolving disease you don't know what its death-rate will be and it will depend on the preventive measures you and the government take, one of which is "shutting down" another being vaccination, which was not available at the beginning. If there had been no vaccine surely the death-rate had been larger.

According to data below the mortality rate is 7.5% in Mexico. In US it is 1.5%, not 1% as implied by whoever posed the question.

"Shutting down" will affect the mortality-rate because presumably it will protect the most vulnerable population more. If they don't get infected the mortality rate will be smaller.

And as far as I can tell US was never really "shut down" was it? Everybody still got their groceries. Many died of Covid, nobody died of hunger I believe. Subways and buses were running.

> As a good friend I should feel happy for them, and I pretend to, but inside it makes me feel terrible.

Sounds like a much more interesting problem. Try harder to become who you want to be. Figure out why you feel terrible. If it is simply because you are a greedy capitalist who looks up to wealth and down on poor people you might feel good if you make an effort to help someone.
You actually see the opposite. Close nit places with more foot traffic and better public transport see higher economic activity and financial resilience. Places with long roads between where people live and where they shop/work/eat _drastically_ harms financial productivity due to higher infrastructure costs. Chuck Mahron makes this point in his TEDx talk. The infrastructure _maintenance_ costs of sprawl dramatically outweighs what a city makes in revenue from taxes they receive.

I graduated from Michigan pre covid and all the cs classes are recorded so you only need to show up to discussion on Fridays. Wasn't a bad experience since you could skip past people's bad questions. Of course we could still meet on campus though.
Of course it's used in production. We use it heavily.

It doesn't have to use local disks. A big part of what it does is to provide a S3-compatible API, which you can use with any number of backends. Even other cloud providers. Say you want to be able to deploy on prem, on AWS, and GCP. You can add MinIO in front of all of these and you app won't care.

Of course, if you are writing to an actual disk you'll have to figure out the backup part.

The article mentions power draw, saying max draw for this i9 hits 115W (far in excess of M1-series), but also this:

> the chart claims that the new Core i9 achieved faster performance-per-watt than the M1 Max chip, but overall the M1 Max can still operate at much lower wattages than Intel's top-of-the-line mobile offering.

Interesting if that’s true.
I guess it's just hard to take that justification of trying to stop child sacrifice seriously when the same text describes the ancient Israelites proceeding to kill all the boys and enslave all the girls from captured Canaanite cities.

It seems like the primary goal of the war was simply conquest, not freeing Canaanite children. With the child sacrifice simply being used to justify that expansionary war.

How is that relevant? The parents will all inevitably be exposed eventually. It doesn't matter whether the exposure happens through one of their children or someone else.
Where are the kids going to go when you shut down schools? You end up upping the care taker to kid ratio from 30:1 to like 2:1 when you pull kids out of school so you have to pull an equivalent number of adults out of the work force to handle that responsibility.
What is the "trust and verify sense"? I've been told this by managers before but I've honestly never understood it. "Trust" to me means "be willing to take action without further examination of the facts at hand". If I trust your code I wouldn't review it. But I don't trust your code, and I don't trust you to have taken all of the appropriate considerations when you were writing it. What's the difference between "trust but verify" and "don't trust, verify"?

Is the phrase "trust but verify" an attempt to avoid damaging self-esteem? There seems to be some emotional/ego-based attachment to the concept of trust.

No. Everyone with children asks that question, because they see the damage happening. Some reach different conclusions about the trade-off, but no parents take your absolutist position that doesn't even question the damage.
I’m sure social pressure is a major contributor. If she doesn’t see her friends enjoy veggies or eat them daily, I’m sure she will resist as well.
I understand the insatiable thirst for profits but what saddens me is how people are okay with knowingly destroying the fabric of society for personal gain. Even worse, the average worker who unknowingly cheerleads for these policies without truly understanding how it undermines their and their children's futures.
I think you need to provide more information to get good advice. Since it wasn't originally provided it may even require some personal reflection.

You ask how to continue being gracious and stop being depressed/envious, but why are you depressed/envious in the first place? It may sound like a stupid question, but it's important to how to approach the problem.

Do you feel depressed because you feel inferior to your friends? Or do you feel depressed because you want to have the money itself? Or is it something else?

If the first reason, that can be a lot "easier" fixed, as it doesn't require you to acquire wealth. This is personal acceptance. It's also something that can possibly be helped just by talking to the people you are envious of. Though I'll leave more advise to the other comments. The comment about your cousin makes me think that you feel inferior to these people and it's not necessarily the wealth amount itself.

For the second reason, I think a lot of people covered it fairly well in this thread, but you should think hard about what exactly you value. How much does what you really value cost in a dollar amount? Sure, you can probably rack up millions in dollars in ideas from travel, to trying expensive things, or having a huge house, but how much of that is really important to you. How much more happiness would a $1,000,000 house bring you verses a $200,000 house (or some cost adjusted similar comparison to your area)? Why are you jealous of someone's $1,000,000 increase in property value? If you received $1,000,000 right now, would that be enough to make you happy or would you still want more?

I won't make the claim that seeing my friend's success doesn't make me feel any envy or additional drive to do more. However, I am currently relatively content with my life, I have a certain reasonable lifestyle in my head that I am aiming for, and I have a goal to get there. Anything more would just be gravy and not something I would feel any significant depression or envy over.
Getting a smoker to quit is a game of persistence. While this factor alone won't make someone quit, it may just be unique enough to make them start thinking. Human beings are good at ignoring things. If you want someone to listen you need new information and new arguments.
Deuterated water studies show that until you reach Olympic levels of training, you burn roughly the same amount of calories per day whether you exercise intensely or not. Your body simply shunts the available calories to the systems that need them with the highest priority.

This means things like your immune system get shortchanged if you exercise a lot.

If you want to lose weight, the only real way is to reduce caloric intake. The saying is "You can't outrun the fork."

If you want caloric consumption driven by external means--go swimming. Your body must maintain thermal equilibrium and doing so while immersed in cooler water is probably more calorically expensive than the exercise itself. However, the above caveat applies, your body will simply shunt calories around.

>There's a big difference between, "You're just as likely to die from COVID if you have children" and "Children going to school doesn't increase the spread of COVID".

Is there? Because I fail to see it.

If "You're just as likely to die from COVID if you have children" (most of which, that is ages 5-to-17, go to school), then "children going to school doesn't increase the spread of COVID".

What would the alternative be? That children going to school does increase the spread of covid, but for some mysterious reason their own families are spared disproportionally from being infected by them?

If

(a) parents and non-parents would have mostly equal chances of dying if they contact covid.

(b) children going to school increased the spread of covid

one would expect their own families they co-live with, to be mostly affected by this.

Else what explains (b)? It's their teachers that increase the spread - and children going to school are not the carriers of these increased spread?

If you're not part of the group that believes that freedom is more important than decreasing the spread of Covid, then you've answered your own question. You will be living as you do now for the rest of your life, because Covid is obviously never going away.

As another commenter said, it’s very complicated: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29801896

Sometimes the easier route is more appealing. But I am certainly not dismissing your point.
This is a great idea and I fully support it. But I notice you didn’t say anything about teachers and the wider school community. There are many more people who are part of a school community than just children.

As a teacher, I love the imagery of children just living their lives, free from the weight and realities of this pandemic. I can picture them in the classroom, eager to learn, raising their hands, playing in the playground. It warms my heart.

But the flip side is that I can also picture the teachers and administrators. I see unmasked, unvaxxed, infected parents interacting directly with teachers. I see immunocompromised teachers dying.

I also see their surviving coworkers unable to emotionally handle being in school, with little to no support. Remember, teachers are also simultaneously dealing with the threat of school shootings ever lurking in America. This may sound glib, but have you checked out the price of bullet proof armor? This is a thing teachers and students buy now, along with the other school supplies they buy out of their own pockets. Pens, check; notebook, check; bullet proof backpack, check. Ready for school!

After two years of extra work, pay cuts, staffing shortages, budget cuts, dozens of school shootings, being screamed at by parents, being called traitors to America for teaching its history accurately, many are fed up with it.

If this keeps up, you’re going to end up with Qanon believers teaching your kids. They’re sure that school shootings are staged by crisis actors, and covid isn’t even real, so they’re going to be the only ones left willing to apply for the job. Maybe that’s something you want, but I sure as hell don’t.
> They all get a pension. Do you know how much pensions cost? There are people on waiting lists to fill teacher positions.

This might be the case in some specific jurisdiction you are in, but is patently not true across the United States. The state I'm in stopped pensions for teachers in the nineties.
I've done Kubernetes consulting with some other people and for their on prem solutions I always recommend just buying a TrueNAS with it's s3 api.

The other people I tend to end up with always try to sell people on minio+rook-ceph and then offer support along the way. So basically you buy their kubernetes deployment and then you have to pay them for the rest of your life for troubleshooting. The TrueNAS seems cheaper to me.

I don't see a good backup story, but maybe I just don't know it.
There will always be some level of danger. Insisting on eliminating danger is irrational.

> indeed there is. However the vast majority of people fall into the former category while assuming theyre the latter category.

That sounds arrogant and condescending. In order for that to be true you would have to presume that any given behavior was objectively better, and therefore anyone who prefers different behavior only does so because they are comfortable with the 'wrong' behavior.

> That’s a huuuuge generalisation there. The truth is it depends on the Linux distribution

No, it doesn't, and I'm really tired of hearing "you chose the wrong distro, bro" for literally every distro because none of them actually do what I, and many others, want. Why is it considered so insane to want a stable base system and be able to install applications of any level of bleeding-edgeness on top of it without jumping through a bunch of hoops?

> Linux will see more regular platform updates than Windows and macOS where you’re limited to service packs and new OS releases.

You clearly haven't kept in touch with Windows through the Windows 10 era.

> Yeah cross platform package management is broken in Linux. Snap, flatpak, etc. all have problems. Personally I think the real issue is that Linux is trying to emulate Windows and Mac with portable installers. If you want a platform where the responsibility is on the user to download and install applications manually then there are already mature options available for that (Windows and macOS). So there’s no point trying to compete there. Where Linux excels is with its package management taking the risk of application installation away from the operator.

I disagree with literally every statement in here except the first two sentences. There is no reason one cannot have "portable" applications that are also managed with a store or package manager! It just means that you don't actually have to and you don't need an army of unpaid volunteers to repackage shit constantly. And Linux, in my experience, doesn't excel at taking the risk away as I have seen updates break other package's dependencies plenty of times.

We're getting off in the weeds. My original point, I think, stands: Linux doesn't behave the way I think is best, therefore it isn't 'comfort' that makes me not like the way it behaves, it's my preference for a different --better in my reasoned opinion-- behavior.

> This won’t be to everyone’s preference but that’s fine because not every platform should behave the same.

If this is truly your opinion then you have phrased your initial assertion in a very poor and condescending sounding way. You very much make it sound like "people who don't like the way Linux behaves are just idiots who can't learn new things".

> And here lies the problem with people who say one is better than another: they look at the differences and say “I don’t like it” but think it’s a technical decision when in fact it’s just an emotive response based on what they’re comfort zone is.

Oh, I see, it's because you actually did think they're just idiots.
The researchers found a strong positive correlation between severe COVID-19 (defined as a COVID-19 hospitalization) and chance of death for any reason.

There're obvious reasons why people of all ages with preexisting health issues are likely to get severe COVID-19 as opposed to asymptomatic, mild or moderate one, and the same people are also more likely to die from other health-related reasons. This would explain the correlation they found.

However, in the "Discussion" section they wrote this:

Based on the evidence that contracting severe COVID-19 infection increases the risk of death after surviving the episode, it is clear that prevention of significant COVID-19 infection is the most effective way to decrease the risk of death following COVID-19

Does anyone understands why exactly is it clear?

Note the graph in the same article shows people with mild COVID-19 have lower risk of death compared to people with no COVID at all.
