What I find interesting is that so many schools don't meet the KPIs and metrics anyway despite stripping away most of the educational experience that isn't test prep.

If that was yielding great test scores it would be one thing, but even that isn't happening in many states (or any state that I've looked at but I only pay attention to a few).
Questioning = spreading harmful misinformation? Or actually we should question everything? (if asking 'why', search for the meme).
Indeed they do.

The problem is their betrayal of the spirit of the internet. We built the internet with a vision of optimism, but now that the vision is in danger. When things become difficult for only a moment, we abandon that spirit altogether. For shame. It'd be much better if their service didn't abandon it. The Internet has been the great social experiment of our time. I'll take any opportunity to speak out against actions that diminish free and open discourse.
Hi HN! Author here, this is my first experiment with circom and snarkjs, I wanted to do something basic that shows a small sample of their potential. :) Comments & questions welcome!
There's Facet Wealth, who will take ~$200/month flat fee up until around 1M AUM (or with extra complexity) to do the same. You get good personal contact on a regular basis, but it feels bad to spend 2400/yr just for "yeah you're on the right track, this is it" every quarter once everything is in the appropriate vanguard target date funds and such.
Just wait until Citadel, Jane Street, and Two Sigma all sink.

They are already behind some big tech in total comp, so brain drain is inevitable.
No, but $20 - $30 might be reasonable, and anything cheaper than $70 might be sold out by then.

very underrated comment and observation, and something that set off a cascade of fantasy scenarios and services in my mind where such an idea was more important and protected than any other. gonna have weird dreams tonight I think.

It was partisanry. Francis Collins (NIH Director) and Fauci from NSAID were afraid of appearing to support Trump's rhetoric of China-virus. So they doubled down on supression of information and completely shutdown any discussion in the entire scientific community regarding Lab Leak origins.
Substitute Walmart for Amazon. Substitute corn-flakes for dongles. Substitute Kelloggs for "me".

That is the situation right now at Walmart. Kellogg's Corn Flakes are $3.28 for an 18oz pack. Great Value (Walmart own-brand) Corn Flakes are $1.43 for the same size package.
To me, the important parts of (what I would call) brainstorming are "everybody shares the ideas that come to their mind" and "ideas are not evaluated until later". It's happened so many times that some ridiculous-sounding (and outright wrong/unusable idea) has brought us on track to something novel and sound.

"Viability" paints you into a tiny corner of the solution space. Removing it from the equation lets you freely walk around and inspect other corners (which you can paint yourself into later).
Except, the hospital capacity per 1000 population has been steadily declining in the West for ages [0] and is at half the capacity in China for comparison. So rather than blaming the unvaccinated, we should maybe review the policies that lead to it.

A few years ago I would have agreed, but all the top sites (which means the best ones technically) share the banning information with eachother.
It also demonstrates how easy it is to ruin things by caring about monetizing them. A lot of what's great about it wouldn't really be possible if you cared about making money off it.
Thanks; these are helpful but not quite what I meant. I was thinking of something that speaks in terms like “you have an existing Arduino project; how do you migrate off of Arduino and to gcc-avr?” In other words - explicitly build off of what you learn from Arduino, rather than starting from “scratch.” Maybe that’s harder, though.
Yes it is. For example, the emancipation proclamation which outlawed slavery.

You think shutting down Coinbase is bigger than that?
That's not even an equivalency...but censure Tucker Carlson and you've got a deal.
Edit: I misread what they said. But that's by design. It's pure trickery. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. 100,000 PCR tests analyzed, 3500 had prior infections.

This means that 3.5% were reinfections, not 66%.
Comments are less of an issue than submissions are. For the most part, I think HN moderation of comments is fairly reasonable.

What's pretty unseemly at this point is how easily large tech organizations can game the HN front page. There are thousands of people affiliated with YC/FAANG reading HN, and they're permitted to vote on submissions in which they have a vested interest.
You can promote your TWS with detachable battery design. I think it's totally not attractive.
Our hospital capacity is already built out to deal with public health issue that it already deals with. This is a special case (if you somehow did not notice - how often have you heard about hospital overcrowding in the US before?).
Ah that's true thinking about it. If I have two overlays that both set some value to X..one's gotta win!

Years ago at one of my first job as a tech lead, our boss wanted give us the same computers as the people who will be using the application (this was a Windows desktop application). His argument was that we should experience the application running on the same hardware as the users will experience it.

I had to go into a long discussion explaining that we need to run a whole bunch of development tools besides running the application and therefore need much more powerful computer. I also explained that, if he makes developers that will by the hour, work deliberately slower, it will cost him more in the end. I think it was this final argument that won him over.

In order

1) But most supermarkets do this in similar ways. Not quite the same as a single entity, but close enough (more like a cartel?) that I'm not sure I see much of a difference.

2) This is the major difference in my mind, but other vendors can still sell for less, so I'm not sure how much competition is stiffled.

3) Well, they actually are. It's called slotting fees. They can simply be for warehouse storage and a place in the store, or at higher levels can be paid to have products placed in specific locations, e.g., eye-level on shelves. This seems similar to signing up for the program in the OP to have your product highlighted as an Amazon-sponsored product.

I don't like many of Amazon's practices, but I'm not convinced this particular one rises to anti-trust.

> The last 245 years have seen a great experiment in society and freedom, with the society to speak freely, and that the Market of Ideas might itself guide truth, arbitration by the few kept to a minimum. The Internet has been the culmination of this experiment. We are in danger of failing it today.

Since that date seems to be calibrated to refer to the existence of the US, I am assuming that this means you believe that the US has been the leading paragon for tolerance of speech.

At which point, I have to ask... have you really never heard of the Alien and Sedition Acts? If you're unfamiliar, this is US legislation that criminalized criticism of the US government (bonus points for being largely the same people to have written the First Amendment). Or have you not heard of Schenck v. US, which immortalized the popular refrain "shouting fire in a crowded theater"... upholding a prosecution for criticizing the draft in WWI.

The broad reading of the First Amendment to forbid really any inhibition of any form of speech actually doesn't really start until the 1930s.
What are you talking about? A huge chunk of sexual harassment training is about stuff that is perfectly acceptable in non-work environments (asking someone on a date, flirting, etc).

If sexual harassment training was just obvious stuff that needs counseling to fix (e.g. harassing people after having advances declined), then corporations likely wouldn’t need sexual harassment training at all.

It’s mandatory precisely because it’s a bunch of behavior that is completely normal outside of work. Suggesting people get counseling if they feel the urge to ask someone at work out on a date is ridiculous.

Nobody ever did, nobody ever will trust such politicians whether you want them to or not. This kind of "trust" is not the point, has not and will not change.

There is another kind of trust that has been greatly damaged at considerable cost. The trust of the corrective mechanisms we use to keep the powerful (who we never have nor ever will trust) in check.

Starting with every large news source, journalist and pundit who cheered for the Iraq war and WMD to do a full and proper account of how they were used to dupe their readers and what they learned from it.

The next war is WMD with the same lying assholes cheering for it. And the one after that. The war machine is simply the most obvious and irrefutable case of it. 20 years and 3 trillion in Afghanistan - lets up the military budget again Joe! Just like Donald did. With zero "how is this paid for?" stories. With zero. "Is this value for money?" stories. With zero resistance to being passed...

Note that if the case for ever more military funding is strong, these questions can be asked, answered and debated thoroughly in the media. and by elected officials? So why aren't they?

Some unvaccinated are immunocompromised.

I know someone who could not get vaccinated for medical reasons (legitimately), and caught it, and died.

It just really sucks to know that the person I know would more likely be alive if not for the choices of others.
hahaha you surely must be joking. what a ridiculous spin! being political & caring about the world is not new. Young has been a strong advocate, loudly held moral stances for probably longer than many many of the readers on HN have been alive[1]. having backbone, a stance, caring: it's not new.

this isnt really that different than asking Young to share a show with someone. our systems and our services have gotten more centralized, more controlled. the connection is not as clear & apparent as sharing a stage. but this is not some new radical new interpersonal cruelty Young has fostered. it's the simple desire to not associate with trash & cruelty, to find better spaces. that's not new. it's just good sense.

we dont all have to follow the same code, but we should not be party to those supporting the despicable. obvious, & anything else anything less in madness.

That's a good idea. I'm not for the socialization of internet companies. What Youtube and other companies are doing is not illegal and well within their rights as the law is currently.

But it is a betrayal. It is a betrayal of the promise of the internet as a forum of open discourse, and signifies a loss of faith in humankind's ability to discern truth, in humankind's ability to reason, for individual's to make up their own minds.

Indeed we need some censorship for things like what you described, it's a matter of what is reasonable, and what is reasonable is to be determined collectively in the discourses of society. Again, what Youtube and other companies are doing is not illegal, but it runs counter to every notion of what the open forum is meant to be. It's a sad sign. A line is being tiptoed across, and it is important that we openly argue the points and consequences.
There's a huge amount of conceptual similarity between Wildcard and Electric Tables. I think I like (from the videos) the table approach of Wildcard a bit better, but it looks like Wildcard is more single-page focused, while Electric Tables is more focused on bringing multiple pages together into a single table.

I can envision something like the Wildcard UI, but Electric Tables concepts, so the table follows you from page to page, but can be augmented from data from the specific page - allowing you to save one or more rows from each page you visit to the master table (e.g. a single product from a product page, or a list of products from a search result).

A very common usage pattern that I find myself in is searching Amazon for products, opening individual ones, deciding that product is useless/useful, making notes about specific features. The Wildcard concept of modifying the page directly ("hide this product, never show it to me again", "add a note to this product", "fix the unit price info for this product to be a standardized unit") might be done on either the search result or the individual product page, but would be representing data on a "obscure product search" table.

The same thing happens with research on obscure programming issues - again, it'd be really cool to be able to augment my Google Search results like Wildcard Shows, but from both the search results page, as well as from the actual page being referenced.

Thank you for sharing these links.
I think their point is that the data shows that previous infection provides good protection. If the goal is protection, then this should count for something, and should be factored in to the risk-benefit ratio. The risk-benefit ratio is not negligible for young, which is why the vaccine still hasn't been approved for the very young (and there's certainly not a step function in the risk-benefit ratio, by age). But, the risk-benefit ratio calculations being used don't seem to be including previous infection. This is not necessarily scientific.

For the other-than-COVID vaccines that are required for enrollment, there isn't existing protection in the majority of the population. Nobody has natural, effective, protection against measles.

I think the practical problem/reason is that there's infrastructure set up to track and share vaccination/booster status. There's no infrastructure set up to track, or even test, immunity status, which is the real metric of risk. So, for practical reasons, proof of vaccination status will always be favored and, almost certainly, held above the true, yet difficult to measure, immunity status, to drive policies. This is an easy out, that might cause harm, relative to an "ideal" policies that were based on immunity.

I am not an expert in the field and happy to be corrected, but i think Europa is vastly underrated and i agree with your comment. I suppose the challenge is the thickness of its crust but in my view its worth exploring the options to reach its water ocean and potentially explore a research base. From water one can generate fuel, oxygen and do farming. Really wish someone knowledgeable would chip into why this moon is not getting more attention.
So GNOME is malware because when I hit the key combination to "switch workspace right" on a secondary monitor it either moves my primary monitor's workspace right or all workspaces right depending on the setting, but not the focused monitor's workspace. And that's not what I want it to do.

Or if you're a programmer debugging something, the software is malware until you fix and recompile. Because during that time you are debugging it, it is instructing your computer to produce output that you don't want to observe.

Obsidian can get a little slow even on a T480 with 32 GiB of memory, though usually there's no issue but noticeable startup time. Sublime didn't run on the Pi I had and VSCode was too slow (this is why I ended up learning vim last year, at last). Given my experience with VSCode and observing other apps like Chrome, I assume it wouldn't work that well. However, I'm not sure I was even aware of Obsidian when I was using that machine every day. It and Chrome, VSCode etc. certainly could have improved since then (maybe 1.5 years ago)
Not clearly, not. The context suggests bad faith. And of course it is, clearly, a preference given to certain engines
Same here - that experience is why I aded that exception.

Until Calculus/Physics though, I don't think there's much added benefit - except maybe an occasional "here's how algebra helps while grocery shopping".
> Do you get stressed about all the preparations of showing up at the airport with everything you need?

Yes, quite a lot.

> If the [scripts] you have are working for you, you’ve discovered a reliable way to succeed and find satisfaction as you do. But if they’re not, it might pay to spend the energy to approach the next cycle, ‘as if’.

I don't know, does "the prospect of vacation is anxiety-inducing" count as "works for me"?

> What if you could leave the script behind, just this one time? [...] Rewrite the script, rewrite the outcome.

Not sure if "you miss your flight" is the outcome I'm looking for...

Point being, some of these "scripts" are the result of lessons learned. Possibly quite painful ones. "Ignore that for once" is both good and terrible advice. But yes, it probably pays to think about these ingrained responses from time to time.
I started wearing an N95 with vent immediately. Pretty sure it works to protect me. I asked local public health folks if this was OK (back when they were saying only wear if sick) pointing out it just costs pennies. They said not to believe "misinformation" but they would not arrest anyone for wearing a mask.

Vent makes it extremely comfortable, no glass fog etc. Then they said the vent somehow was bad for others, but let others wear cloth masks. That made no sense, the vent is a hard stop and then exhalation goes towards ground. There are still plenty of people who think / lecture about a vent being bad.

And the lists goes on.

I had a friend who was a doctor who did an N95 + face shield and did not catch covid for months treating covid patients, so I do have some faith in N95.
The basic technology of robotic space construction, though, could have far reaching benefits in its own right. So while it may not be strictly better for this one mission, it might still pay put dividends in the long run.
That comment wasn't about Go exclusively. My point was that porting single-threaded code to a native language doesn't necessarily cause huge order-of-magnitude speed gains, especially if you plan on sticking close to the original structure of the code to make porting future changes easy, but that in this specific case a port sounds likely to realize significant gains (which is very exciting!).

Shared-memory parallelism is necessary but not sufficient. Ideally you'd be able to only make some small changes in a few spots to greatly increase parallelism. I'm hopeful that TypeScript's AST parsing is a good candidate since ASTs can typically be constructed independently from the rest of the program state. Lowering and printing ASTs is also likely parallelizable. It would also be great if it was also possible to parallelize parts of the type checker somehow, but that sounds harder. I had some ideas about that in another comment. Anyway I think this means that it's likely that a port of the TypeScript compiler could realistically lead to significant speedups and may even lead to extreme speedups.

As far as language choice, it sounds like due to maintenance reasons the decision space is narrowed to native, garbage collected languages similar in object model to TypeScript but with parallelism primitives. Some candidates could be at least Go, JVM-based languages, or .NET-based languages. I think those can all be ahead-of-time compiled to a static binary? Another consideration is how easy/compact/fast/cross-platform binaries are. Go makes this trivial but I haven't used JVM or .NET AOT builds myself so I don't know how they compare in e.g. executable size or startup overhead. One advantage of picking Go is that esbuild has already demonstrated that Go is an effective choice for this problem domain, which may mean less work/research/unknowns. A disadvantage of Go here might be that the object model is different than TypeScript vs. something like Java or C#. But all else being equal the choice comes down to personal preference.

The barrier to entry for making you're own twitter is building you're own damn internet.
