This is a hard problem, because you do not only need beds, but also humans tending to the patients.

And while you can just build another hospital if you have the cash - you cannot just build another doctor, if you need one.

There's several careers that are 'software-adjacent' that'd be easier to transition into rather than a completely new industry.

- (Technical) Program Manager
- Solution Architect
- (Technical) Management Consultant
- etc.

> In windows, the spawn equivalent take a long string, anything after file path is argument.

The tradeoff being that even reliably getting a Windows program in C to receive a given value in argv[] is awful[1], and the full rules for what happens if you’re unfortunate enough to need to pass through the shell are truly horrendous[2] (as well as, of course, nearly undocumented). Oh, and there is literally no way to pass arguments through in a batch file[3] (i.e. no reliable equivalent to "$@").

The reason is that command lines being dumb strings (as they are in DOS and consequently Windows) means that there are at least two places where command-line parsing needs to happen: in the shell, to detect shell syntax, including simply knowing where the command ends; and in the program (C runtime library startup or equivalent), to separate, unquote, and unescape the string into an arguments array. Thus there are at least two sets of escaping rules in play at the same time, which will inevitably diverge. (In Windows there are something like three and a half, given that executing from a batch file adds an additional layer of textual preprocessing and delayed expansion uses slightly different rules, but that is not inherent in the design choice, it’s just braindamage.)

I actually find this an interesting design problem (and have commented on it before[4]), because while the depths of insanity in the Unix approach (the shell tokenizes and globs) aren’t quite as unfathomable, the touch ./-rf; rm * problem that it implies still feels like something that shouldn’t happen, and I just can’t see an interesting intermediate point between those that wouldn’t substantially complicate the shell-to-entry-point interface.

> why are they so adamant to vaccinate those with prior infection

Because the data shows they don't matter.

This is the same thing as deaths due to covid vs. deaths while positive to covid. Sure some people might have been miscounted as covid deaths but actually died due to cancer/car accident/whatever. Despite this the excess deaths over the past two years is much higher than the number of covid deaths; thus showing that miscounts must be a small minority which, in any case, is absolutely dwarfed by excess deaths not counted as covid deaths. It might even grow a little as testing improves but it still remains mostly irrelevant.

Likewise it may be that some people do not need a vaccination. However, we have a 30/70 split in number of covid hospitalizations, with 30 being vaccinated people, in countries where the split in the normal population is 90/10. This means that despite some unvaccinated people having had prior infection the vaccine reduces hospitalizations by 20x. Given this data the most effective strategy is to just vaccinate everyone without what is effectively a pointless distinction.

As the number of unvaccinated but protected people will grow (through a combination of more infections, more vaccinations and more deaths), the proportion above will revert to 90/10 and unvaccinated people will not be an issue anymore. For now however analyzing the proportion of naturally immune people among the unvaccinated is, again, mostly irrelevant.

Antibodies are only one aspect of immunity and they tend to decline over time. Over the long run cellular immunity is more important.

Yet we have many people who want to attempt to vaccinate the entire world 4-5 times over in order to defeat a common cold. Crazy times.

> We have eradicated so many diseases with vaccination.

I know that we eradicated smallpox, but only because there are no animal hosts.

Covid has many animal hosts [0]. You'd have to vaccinate them all to eliminate covid, that includes bats, cats, dogs, primates, deer, etc.

Otherwise covid will keep evolving in animals, and jumping back into the human population, as it appears happened with omicron over the course of about a year in mice [1].

I believe that the parent you replied to is correct, we will not eradicate covid with vaccines.

That certainly is spooky. Perhaps the quorum should be increased. (I imagine it would, if you tried to do something like this.)

Either way, there are some barriers. Each vote is subject to a 7-day period, so other delegates have time to react; votes must first reach some level of interest through Snapshot off-chain voting before moving on to the on-chain vote.
Zeynep Turfekci talks about this in this thread, and about why she thinks prior infection offers less protection than the vaccines, to the point that she supports vaccinations for those who have already caught COVID.

Thank you for explaining - now that you've pointed it out, I can see that this is just another form of the "graphs are hard in Rust" problem that I've encountered before.

However, I still stand by my point - Rust might be bad at graphs, but I believe that a well-designed language with a borrow checker (maybe something closer to Lobster, which automatically inserts RC cells when you try to multiply mutable borrow[1] - something obviously more correct than what Rust does, I'm not sure how they messed that one up) wouldn't necessarily have to be.

Without controlling for age and comorbidities, this doesn't mean much. You can break down by age, but the categories are ridiculously broad, 18-49, then narrower age bands afterwards.

Another breakdown that we will never see is the data broken down by death within two weeks of any shot(lumped in with unvaccinated) and death after full vaccination lapses. Which is an ever shortening window.

Finally, how are the denominators being calculated? For the United States, we are basically guessing at this point, given that we only have an insanely large range of estimated undocumented people in the country alone.

As an (ex)EM, I don't think the likelihood of a first-level manager getting fired is all that different. What is different is the timeline - it takes longer to see whether the manager is underperforming (vs helping the team get out of a rough patch). There's also the consideration that a manager can at best influence their team's outcomes, while being fully accountable for them. This gets worse as you climb up the ladder, as the influencing gets more and more tenuous, while accountability only grows. The stress of this should not be underestimated by folks considering a move into management.
ShowHN: Talking Tree: Creative writing NFT game
I made a collaborative creating writing NFT game. To my knowledge, this is the first NFT project that deals with creating writing. Some details:

The rules of the game:
Every user can create a short block of text and add it anywhere on the tree, extending some existing story branch, or starting a completely new one. Each block is minted as an ERC 1155 NFT on the Polygon Mainnet, which is owned by the user. The user can keep the NFT, gift it, or sell it on an exchange.

The pricing mechanism:
The price for minting a block starts at 0.001 MATIC, and increases by 0.001 MATIC every time someone mints a new block. For all future sales done through OpenSea, the original creator of a block receives 5% of the proceeds. My hypothesis is that this mechanism incentivizes writers to produce engaging content.

The tree visualization algorithm:
The tree is displayed by an algorithm that prioritizes popular branches. The subtrees with the largest number of blocks are displayed as left-most, and the remaining subtrees are displayed to the right of them. In other words, branches with higher activity are displayed more prominently on the screen. The current implementation can handle trees with millions of blocks.

Technical details:
The blocks and the tree structure are stored on the Polygon Mainnet chain, so they should be there forever. Unlike most image/music-based NFT projects, all metadata can be recreated from the data stored on the chain.

Let me know what you think.

The other thing that needs bringing into the discussion is vulnerability.

The average of death with Covid in the US is 80.

If every healthy 30 year old and under in the US declined the vaccine, this would barely move the needle. They personally are not vulnerable and are not likely to end up in hospital.

Reading this discussion, you would think that vaccinated = safe, unvaccinated = certain doom. Age is a much stronger predicter than vaccine status.

If you're good with people, mid-level healthcare provider positions pay well and are extremely in demand. Nurse Practitioners is likely the easiest route to attain. Physician Assistant master's degrees is more prestigious and pays better, but is universally competitive vs some NP programs that are pretty lax with who they will take on as students.

Pay for these positions easily starts in the 6 figures, with some PA specialties starting closer to $200k.

It's mixed and depends a lot on the specifics of the situation. I'd say that business-critical engineers (i.e. ones who have deep knowledge of a profit-center codebase) have more job security than non-business-critical managers (i.e. those who run "nice to have" projects), but business-critical managers have more job security than business-critical engineers and non-business-critical managers have more security than non-business-critical engineers, particularly senior ones.

If you're a CEO planning a layoff, your #1 priority is to minimize disruption to the organization. The worst employee is one who is still on the payroll but demoralized; hopelessness is contagious, so not only are they probably not productive themselves, but they make everyone around them unproductive. If you lay off a good manager, they're gone, but you've also demoralized all their reports. You get the same effect if you lay off a core engineer, one with deep knowledge of the codebase that everyone goes to for questions. However, you can lay off a garden variety IC, one that keeps to themselves and just does their job, without any serious repercussions to the org. And you can lay off a whole division without serious repercussions for the rest of the org, because everybody who knew them will no longer be there. This is why many companies try to structure layoffs as "We are exiting this line of business, and that is why the people who worked there are no longer with us."

The one big exception is executives, who usually have less job security than either ICs or managers. I've heard this as a reason why executive salaries are so high; few qualified people will take the job without the knowledge that they'll get F-U money in 2-3 years, because there's a decent chance they'll be fired and unhireable by then. This also fits into the framework above: typically, when an executive gets fired, it's because the business they lead is underperforming and the staff is already demoralized. At this point you lose nothing by getting rid of the executive in charge, because everyone wants to see him gone anyway.

The same logic applies to bad managers; you can and should fire these quickly, because they demoralize all of their reports.

It occurred to me recently that this may be why we have layoffs at all. The fairest approach, and one that maximizes general welfare, is to give everyone an equal pay cut when the company's revenues go down. The problem is that this demoralizes everyone. The good people will leave anyway, while the bad people will sit and do nothing useful while bleeding the company dry of the rest of its cash. So instead, companies create much greater pain across a smaller number of people, and then ensure that the people most affected are no longer with the company so they don't affect overall company morale. The ones left behind are more inclined to think of themselves as lucky, or skilled, or grateful they weren't the ones canned, which are all positives for performance.

The current vaccinations are actually reasonably good at preventing Omicron hospitalizations, enough so to be worthwhile on an individual level anyway. The problem is that they're not 100% effective and if Quebec is anything like the UK, almost all the people who're actually at risk of being hospitalized are already vaccinated - there just aren't enough left that vaccinating the remainder will do much about hospitals being overwhelmed. From a social standpoint they aren't a problem. The only purpose of measures like these seems to be giving the voting public an enemy to blame when the hospital system is overwhelmed anyway, and making sure that enemy isn't the politicians who decided how the hospitals were funeded and run.
"never NEVER implement crypto on your own"

I understand that the admonition "never roll your own crypto" (as in develop your own encryption algorithm) is distinct from "never implement crypto on your own" (as in implement an existing encryption algorithm), although it is commonly misread as the latter.

The phrase "never roll your own crypto" was originally used in the context of algorithms.

Hopefully given the description / source code of "a published, well-used, tried-and-tested algorithm", most programmers could implement it in a language with which they are familiar.

The vaccination rate of the vulnerable population is significantly higher than the vaccination rate in the general population. Your data helps prove that vaccines are quite effective.

The worst example I've seen personally was the pension plan provider at my current job. They required an app to sign up and manage everything. They don't have a web site and I was the first person to ask about it.

There's lots of small community things, local classifieds etc., that exist in niche things that only have an app. Like I said, trivial things, but they add up to everyday life becoming harder.

As for legal requirement: the government single sign-on that is used to interact with all government services and is also mandated for many important things like banks, insurance etc., is app-centric, though not app-only.

>Curious why you would need to coordinate trades been taxable and retirement accounts?

If you treat your retirement and taxable accounts as one big pot of money, you want to place assets to take the most advantage of the retirement account. For example, they mentioned bonds. Since yield on bonds is taxable at income tax levels every year, you want to prefer holding them in the tax exempt account.

Another reason is because of tax loss harvesting. To make that work, you have to avoid wash sales. The wash sale rule applies to you and every account you own, taxable, retirement, across brokers, etc. So to make TLH work, the broker needs to have a complete view.

>The biggest question to me, you can trade ETFs for free now, why do you need wealthfront at all?

For me, I'm on the west coast, so the market is open from 6:30 AM to 1 PM. I can't really monitor it nearly as closely as I'd really prefer. Looking at my betterment history, last year they automated 275 transactions for me. I can really only be bothered to look at the account once a month or so. Do the efficiency gains from a lower drift get me 0.25% additional value? Hard to say, but probably not. However, TLH absolutely has. I wouldn't trust myself to track that properly at all.
