I would never trust the Chinese government to publish accurate numbers. But their society definitely kept pre-Omicron covid cases really low. Their infrastructure to identify and quarantine cases is much better than the US's or Europe's since they are an authoritarian state.
Presumably you know that significant parts of the historical “well earned distrust” that black people have of the medical community involve the government.

Audio long-read: The secret lives of cells – as never seen before
I have a medium-sized data science project in Python. Nothing crazy. It's 180 packages, apparently, and 2.9M lines of code (whitespace, comments and all). Charitably let's call it 1m SLOC.

Seriously, you expect anyone to audit all this? It's basically impossible for any solo dev / small org, and as I say, it's not even a big project. A vulnerability is like half a line, or sometimes a typo.

Clearly, very different proposal for a large org, but even then, no small task.

Over the weekend I spent a bunch of time looking into web3 and I've come to the conclusion that effectively, this entire thing is a bujnch of clown cars and we're not obliged to provide comments that provide information (IE, it's not even worth the effort explaining why everything about web3 is a pyramid scheme/sham run by cryptobros). I'll generally try to avoid even commenting on such threads, but just be aware: large swaths of HN think this is dangerously bad stuff. My guess is HN wants to promote these conversations because Y-combinator invested in cryptocurrencies and wants to hype demand.

I am pushing 50 years of age and one constant in my life is people shitting on the US healthcare system.

I have family in Canada with family members the same age on both sides.

Canada is great if you are a healthy broke college student.

No one in their right mind would ever pick Canadian health care over the US though if you are 60+.

There is no way you would rather have cancer in a country with free health care.

Chesterton said that “too much capitalism does not mean too many capitalists, but too few capitalists”

I think this concept applies to cronyism as well: we will always have cronyism and corruption and no system we can dream up will eliminate it. Therefore we should distribute the cronyism as much as is practical to minimize and localize the damage it can do. Bad behavior is less likely when you live within driving distance of the person you are inflicting it on.

In practice this means many more small, relatively independent political units. An idea for which there is nearly zero support amongst the current elites who are nearly unanimous in wanting more centralization, which makes sense when considering their interests. I do hear occasionally about a national divorce, which would be a good start.
> I suspect the argument is "Healthcare has never been allowed to be a market" Given how many legal restrictions are placed on it, I tend to agree.

Emergency services aren't a good fit for markets. For markets to work, people really need the luxury to shop around with some leisure.

Wasn't there some Roman oligarch that ran a private fire department, and basically just used it to extort property owners when they had a fire? Truly market based emergency medical care without legal restrictions would likely frequently resemble that with some frequency.

Edit: Yep: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_firefighting#Rome

> The first ever Roman fire brigade was created by Marcus Licinius Crassus. He took advantage of the fact that Rome had no fire department, by creating his own brigade—500 men strong—which rushed to burning buildings at the first cry of alarm. Upon arriving at the scene, however, the firefighters did nothing while Crassus offered to buy the burning building from the distressed property owner, at a miserable price. If the owner agreed to sell the property, his men would put out the fire, if the owner refused, then they would simply let the structure burn to the ground.
And here I was thinking that Germany was car-centric... anecdotal evidence, but in my small town there is a testing site in a pharmacy a few hundred meters from my home, and I couldn't imagine that you would have trouble finding a testing site accessible by foot or public transport in larger cities.
The developer ergonomics make more sense when you look at this from the VB side of things (positional or named arguments with everything optional), it's just the interop that is messy.
Inventing the Shipwreck
Lots of people are naive about HR's real purpose. In my experience people see them as neutral arbiters, and go to them for help with personnel issues never thinking that they're seen as potentially threatening to the organization.
Interesting. As I understand it, this lands an approach in which Sequential Consistency is not guaranteed but if you have a data race you get even nicer guarantees than in Java and its authors believe this might be enough that real programmers working on real software can actually debug data races despite loss of sequential consistency.

In many popular languages today (e.g. C++) if you have a data race you're completely screwed, (e.g. the program exits successfully, even though it was supposed to loop forever serving TCP requests - good luck figuring out why). In Java they decided OK, that's not acceptable, so data races are constrained to only the data touched by the race and, importantly, that data is still legal it just might be astonishing (e.g. you were adding several small positive integers together from a shared data structure in parallel, but due to a misunderstanding in your design this was actually a data race, and some time later somehow your total is now zero, but you won't crash or whatever)

OCaml intends to further constrain the consequences in time, if the total was 114 when you stopped adding, it will still be 114 later, it won't mysteriously become zero (or any other value) thanks to a data race which must have happened before you checked.

[I'm sure I have some details wrong, but this is the gist]

What remains to be seen is: Is that enough? There was great hope when Java made its rules that they were enough and programmers could understand what was wrong in a Java program with data races, that did not pan out as I understand it. So, it seems to me that it's possible OCaml ends up in the same situation.
Exactly. It's been a recognizable trend since the 1970s, at least. Really, since the start of the medical insurance industry.

The New York Times has had an anti-tech vendetta for a while now. Most likely, in my cynical worldview, because tech has hurt their subscription numbers immensely, not because they want to do the world a service.

An example of this is when they published a whole story about a guy who became radicalized from YouTube... and then became unradicalized a few months later without doing anything radical. But someone could have stayed radicalized so Google needs to censor YouTube and hand back authority to the fact checkers and trusted news, which conveniently happens to be... The New York Times.

Another example would be when The New York Times wrote a whole shock article about the shocking nature of dark patterns in technology and the irresponsibility and corruption of Big Tech for using them. Except that their own unsubscribe system is loaded with dark patterns that are even worse.

Do I think that YouTube isn't partially responsible? Of course they have some responsibility, but The New York Times and other news sources are capitalizing on the situation for their own interests.

I say 'people like you' because this isn't the first time I've heard arguments like, 'comments have a tendency to be ignored and still remain there' and 'No comment is way better, than a wrong, missleading comment'.

Those two statements combined is your justification (excuse) for never writing comments and why the code you and people like you write is unmaintainable.

Just write the damn comment. You're code isn't as good as you think it is. And no one can read your mind as to your intent when you set upon writing the code.

Getting slightly off topic, but one of my pet peeves about Stamford (where I live) is that we are not part of Rutland. Stamford is part of Lincolnshire but stuck way down the bottom on its own, surrounded on three sides by other counties, one being Rutland. We are really neglected by the county and district councils. Take a look at a map[0] (if you haven't seen before) of the county boundary around our little town, it is so stupid. It would make so much more sense for us and a few of the surrounding villages to be annexed too Rutland, it would increase the GDP of the county helping it to become more sustainable.

During the Covid lockdowns there was only one road out of town you could legally drive down.

Fortunately it looks like the beginning of this may be happing, the proposed parliamentary boundary redrawing moves us to share an MP with Oakham. First of many steps.

I can't find the link to conversations I had both here and on reddit about this, but it comes also from people that think that the Free Software Foundation and the Open Source Initiative should have no say in the definitions of Free Software and Open Source respectively.
I think it's very nearly a difference without meaning here. If you commit mass violence out of insanity, you're probably going to be in a mental hospital for the rest of your life. Functionally akin to a lifetime prison sentence in that in both cases the perpetrator is removed from society forever. It's not that I have no empathy for the mentally unwell, it's just that when your illness begins to cause actions that will harm the world around you, you're defined in terms of those acts as well as your illness. A mentally unwell person who kills someone is still a killer (I purposely stay away from murder as I do not know law or that murder can be applied to those who are not convicted for reasons of insanity).
What Happened to Faker.js?
This article and other I've seen are misrepresenting the role of the NLRB in these matters. The NLRB adjudicates these cases. They don't bring them. When these journalists say that the NLRB issued a complaint or an accusation, what actually happened is the employees brought a complaint and the NLRB declined, so far, to dismiss it (and actually in this matter the NLRB did dismiss it once, but then later under a different administration they reinstated it.)

In [my] ideal version of this, any monies made "down the line" from that open source software would feed back to anyone that helped build it. If 9 people contributed to a feature that a company used in their sales workflow, then each of them would get a percentage determined by the smart contract they reviewed when contributing.

If a founder came along and saw that a specific open source project could be the foundation for a business, then they could use it to build that business and feed back a portion of all profit as an operating expense. Then everyone involved would be benefited by contributing.
I think capitalism is great, it has a lot of benefits. But it can't just be left open-loop. You're right that the concentration cannot be avoided, but it can be mitigated so that it does not become catastrophic, which I would argue is the point we are nearing. Wealth and income disparities have not always been as acute as they are today.

Really anything that tries to democratize or distribute the control of Capital better. I wrote in another comment that I like parts of Mutualism [0].

It doesn’t really sound like this business is full time for anyone (other than perhaps you?).

>> if you can't delete the jpeg, alter the jpeg, move the jpeg, hide the location of the jpeg from public scrutiny, or stop other people from downloading, copying, modifying, and redistributing the jpeg, in what sense do you own it?

You are not paying for the jpeg, you are paying for the (digital) signature of jpeg's author, or some other famous person. For example, a picture of sunflowers bearing my signature is worth zero, but if it were signed by someone with the name van gogh, it's worth millions. However, the signature of the latter can be forged, and has been forged many times successfully. It's very expensive to verify authenticity of a physical signature. That's the problem the digital signature on a blockchain solves. The NFT site verifies the famous person's identity, and appends an unforgeable timestamp.

There are a finite number of famous people, so the resulting digitally signed item is scarce. That's where it's monetary value comes from.

A three-way split makes zero sense if you are doing all the work, and they are just saying, "Yep, looks good." Even aside from whether or not that is fair, they have no skin in this game.

It depends. Bare hash tables are semi-random and get reshuffled at growth points naturally. But I remember reading in some manual that that language reshuffles iteration even for immutable hash tables. Js objects are usually based on "shapes", which do not follow hash table semantics:

In short the expectation should be that single-threaded code performs roughly the same (single digit percentage changes) as on the sequential runtime.

> lagging 4 orders of magnitude behind the capability of credit cards

How can you transfer large amounts of money between countries with minimal fees using credit cards?
Sure but you cannot build something serious without guarantees.

Maybe you can set a flag in your package.json which enables only the usage of packages from authors that have agreed.
My analogy is to look at your computer.

Screws are essential, but you can probably go without a few and if one breaks you will just throw it away and get another one.

A graphics card is expensive, and the computer might still work in some core ways without it! Yet that you might try to get repaired and go through an annoying RGA process to get a new one.

Which type of worker is the screw and which one is the graphics card?

Phrased another way. All workers sell their labor, but some people are effectively capital by themselves. A factory buys a piece of capital (the machine that creates the product) and the laborer.

The hospital hires a doctor who is both the piece of capital and the laborer. It makes sense that there is a higher price tag when a person is also the the machine that makes the product.

That capitalists value people and treat them nicer when they are also basically a piece of capital makes perfect sense.
