>Great! The problem is that vaccines don't protect society unless a critical-mass of people are vaccinated.

They don't protect society at all. The herd immunity goal flew out the window with Delta and left the galaxy with Omicron. We will not ever eradicate Covid-19 with vaccination.

>It ends when the the threat subsides.

It should end right now, then. The threat has subsided. We have vaccines and other treatment programs.
Does this work for a 'permit to enter' which is only valid 24hrs?
The argument is they already have a keyboard and a display ? Guess what, they also have a computer.
The problem is that people think they've been lied to when they largely haven't. They've missed all of the nuance because they're looking for absolutes. Science is nuanced and politics is crude. None of those topics you list are dichotomic in nature, yet our political discussions nevertheless dilute them as such.
The first job I ever had was at a Radio station, where we were transitioning away from Harris 90 automation to an AudioVault/BEI controlled automation.

The only reason I got the job is because I could figure out how to use the interface: the other two kids from high school who went with me couldn't manage to record audio from the interview.

I remember so many late nights running football, basketball, and other games during the summer...only to turn around and do an afternoon game the next day, then my usual 4-midnight station rotation, all while making around $5/hour.
Just a note that people interested in this solution should really take a look at Ruby on Jets as it lets you run an essentially standard, drop-in replacement for Rails on lambda, and the performance seems to be better as well in terms of time to first byte, request latency, etc. We have a 0.995 appdex score running 100% on Jets. Right now we are single region but this could easily be set up in AWS to exist in every AWS edge location and use latency based routing to map to the proper API gateway. Database-wise you're free to tackle that how you like -- no limitations on that end.
I'm sure they could do production just fine. It's the R&D that is hard. You can't just train random people from the ground up to be great engineers. The people who are capable of that choose by-and-large to make lots more money in the private sector. Even if you could, good luck making them stay when they can easily make 3x or more by leaving.
Not a comprehensive comparison, but I've been doing monthly investments into robo-advisors (Wealthfront and SoFi) as well as ETFs (SPY and VOO) for 2 years now. The returns are quite similar to ETFs, sometimes higher or lower depending on the markets.
Thanks for mentioning markor, I was searching for something similar!
How do you sync your notebook between your phone and your computer, if you don't mind me asking?
The other way to compress InnoDB: outsource it
Fantastic piece of software. I wish there was an android version so I could sync between my desktop and phone, but it is still brilliant.
> The people you elect to represent you (for those of us with a democracy-like government)

The problem is that so many elected officials don't abide by the rules that they push. Joe Biden, Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, London Breed, etc. When the powerful can ignore their own rules, they're more likely to enact sweeping mandates.
It gets a lot of funding as a sort of backdoor for nuclear weapons testing.

> Pfizer is going to be making a lot more money from their COVID treatments than from the vaccine

If you're saying it's false you should please post a source or at least some kind of napkin calculation. It's not intuitive at all. Otherwise it just sounds like you're beating the already dead "pharma companies sole motivation is money" horse.
> Have you actually tried depositing large amounts of cash on a regular basis? Sounds like a good way to get your account flagged and suspended.

1. OP said "make payments", not "receive money". Literally no one is going to give a shit if you make your mortgage or car payment in cash.

2. LOL, yes, I deposit cash all the time, including a quite large sum at least twice a year (charity events). Cash-based businesses are still very much a thing.

3. I write like $10K worth of checks every month, and deposit around $3K-$6K worth of checks every month. No smartphone required.
On Safari on iOS, at least, typing fast will accidentally zoom into that part of the page instead of registering it as a character press.

I feel there is a bigger issue here that I don't see anyone having brought up.

Blogging dev was too cheap to just pay $20 for a license for code that would generate him money. THAT is really the bigger issue here, regardless of everything else, including the fact that he was in violation of the agreement, i.e., >$1,000 MRR.

Here's a little pro tip for everyone, don't cheap out on paying someone $20 for the work they do, when it will be generating you significantly more income.

Frankly, regardless of whether or not the plugin dev is sketchy or not, the blogger dev violated the terms of the agreement and seems rather ungrateful that he was given back what he should not have even gotten back.
HN has gone off the deep end this morning, across multiple threads, and I'm here for every moment of it.
How do you know what happened if it can't be proven?
He used the framework, not named it.
Yes - this is the problem with all "we know best" style platforms.

Example: networking gear that supplies a dhcp server. You shouldn't have to put in the IP address range. It should just be yes or no, so no admin ever needs to know what dhcp even really does. It satisfies 80% of customers.

...but someone wants your own custom DHCP server, with custom IPs so that it can support your legacy printers, with reserved ranges of static IPs because the ghosted profile wants a printer at 172.16.12.2 etc. etc. etc. and that customer is willing to buy $1B of equipment, so you do add the customization. The slippery slope begins to acquire more customers.
I'm actually doing both at the moment, funnily enough!

Well, you should try to establish the societal cost of the negative externality and then tax at that level. The idea isn't to destroy the thing but to make it's price reflect its actual cost

Edit: "then cost" => "then tax"
I'm old so I'll just say that my Amiga 500 had 512KB of RAM, and it played really cool music!
>Another option is 2.4 GHz wireless

Sorry to break it to you but Bluetooth also operates on the 2.4GHz ISM band. Those 2.4GHz dongles you're talking about is basically a custom wireless protocol that doesn't follow Bluetooth or any other open standard or OSI stack but is most likely based on some internal protocol of what the three major chip makers in the 2.4GHz space offer (Texas Instruments, Silicon Labs, Nordic Semi) .

I think the world needs less proprietary standards, not more, where the dongle is paired to the device in factory and if you loose the dongle then most likely the headphone or peripheral is instant e-waste.

So I'll stick with Bluetooth for the time being thank you very much.
Based on the comments I should make a left-pad and put in a random file 'if you use this, you need to give me you house and first born child'. Because appearantly whatever you put down is legal and enforceable.. shm..

> It is my belief that Obama is the only nominee that would have widely bipartisan unconditional support.

The last decade has destroyed my sense of irony, so I really don’t known if you’re being serious or not.
The vaxxed and unvaxxed populations both rely on the same medical infrastructure. So when the unvaxxed fill hospitals to recover or die, they are consuming scarce resources that are required by the population at large for other things like birth, cancer, surgery, etc. Sadly, we don't have an ethical way to let all the unvaxxed get covid without impacting the medical system negatively for the rest of us.
Nice! I love the 3.5mm jack solution.

All we gotta do is solve the “I got my cable caught on the door knob as I walked by” issue and 3.5mm will be perfect.
Just a couple of data points:
1. El Salvador still has more gold in its reserves than Bitcoin
2. The bitcoin holdings are less than 2% of its total reserves

Hate or love Bitcoin, rationally - the downside is they spent 2% of their treasury on a marketing campaign and got some back through enabling cheap money transfers. To be honest, the IMF is proving its idiocy by making this a big deal.
Agreed on Bose QC 35II being great. I hardly ever have any issues with them. The only issues I do have with them are when they connect to my work MacBook Pro. The biggest of these issues is that the MacBook refuses to let any other device be the active device. If my Bose QC 35II connect to both my MacBook and my PC or phone (Android), and I want to listen to audio from the non-MacBook device, I have to first disconnect the headphones from the MacBook. But for my PC and phone, I can be dual connected to those, and as long as I have nothing playing, I can start playing something on either device and immediately hear it. At this point I've given up on using the Bose with the MacBook.
Enclosure at small scale can be 3D printed. Use FDM for mechanical fitment checks, then make in SLA resin printers for first couple clear case prototypes. I wish I could do keyboard as easy...
I called someone out, and pushed back on someone who wanted me to do their work. This was a useless "scrum master" type who couldn't even update a spreadsheet for one of his weekly reports. I explained to him that that updating those spreadsheets was not an engineering responsibility, but I would be happy to provide him with input. I also complained about him to my manager. He was one of those guys who couldn't even copy-and-paste.

They just harassed some other person into doing it. He was a bit passive aggressive about it on some future calls: "Bob doesn't want to update the spreadsheet, so I will have Alice do it!" Anyway, nice guy, but didn't do any work at all, and he's gone now.

> let's have bots rewrite the content in a compact tl;dr format and have it be directly displayed on Google SERP, as user, the less actions I take the better right?

Fuck yeah! I’d pay monthly for a search engine that does this consistently. Google already does this for the articles that are easy to parse, but I’d love to see what newer methods based on language models can do.

Btw this article is talking about the <title> tag which is mostly used for SEO since users don’t see it on the page. I don’t think search engines have ever cared about it all that much.
I think they're attempting to paraphrase (or it's how they were told) DNS converts a hostname to an IP so the packets can reach it. In doing so, they lost people who know what all the terms mean.
Consider for a moment that the "antivaxxers" are correct, that there is enormous bias in our medical, pharmaceutical, and media establishments in favor of vaccine safety. Could you really expect a reliable source on the subject if this were the case? What proportion of people are willing to speak out and risk career and social suicide for being labeled an "antivaxxer"? It is a self reinforcing chilling effect - few people speak out, data does not surface, fewer people look for evidence of adverse events, and over time it becomes riskier and more difficult to convince people that something is amiss.

Meanwhile the internet is awash with anecdote of severe symptoms following vaccination, and particularly concerning are frequent reports of doctors who are dismissive and/or refuse to submit reports on adverse effects. And then there are occasional claims of specialists in various neurological or heart related disciplines who claim to be seeing an unprecedented spike in certain normally rare symptoms among vaccinated patients.

Yeah, they could all be lying or this could be the nocebo effect or it's an army of bots spreading antivaxx propaganda...or maybe you can't magically accelerate a 5+ year testing and evaluation schedule for a novel technology merely because the president says he wants a vaccine yesterday? Note that the clinical data from pfizer and moderna is not available to the public - we are essentially relying on the manufacturers good faith with respect to the safety data that lead to approval by the FDA (moderna still isn't approved, by the way).

None of the AirPod annoyances are as bad as having your headphones yanked violently out of your ears when the 3.5mm cable catches on a door handle.
> It is my belief that Obama is the only nominee that would have widely bipartisan unconditional support.

I think it is impossible after having lived through the Obama administration to think that Obama would get bipartisan support. (EDIT: It turns out @meepmorp said the same more pithily: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30088921#30089293 .)

For that matter, obstructionist opposition is not about the nominee; it's believable that the GOP would have refused to seat Kavanaugh or ACB, if they had been nominated by Obama.
Good breakdown. I'd propose further breaking out of each category based on whether the person is immunosuppressed (for example from medication given to organ transplant recipients) or otherwise immunocompromised.
> * every example is shown as a smartphone app - not a single "desktop-oriented" screenshot to be found. I guess we are finished with the days where every service has an app. Now, every service is an app.

Their desktop experience isn't bad though! Other commenters have mentioned how garbage Wells Fargo/JP Morgans investment dashboards are and wealthfront thankfully takes user experience on both platforms seriously
the linked 'gas marble' article is good too, in particular the construction method for the marbles

> Timounay found that if the frame was wide enough and the microspheres were at least several hundred micrometers in diameter, then lifting the frame generated a gas marble. During lifting, the film on the frame would spontaneously fold in on itself and detach to form a gas marble that would drop to the liquid surface below. “The full mechanism of gas-marble creation is not fully understood for the moment, but their creation is reproducible,”

>They were told they were getting a vaccine... their definition of vaccine doesn't include still getting the disease, but just a little less sever (which, incidentally has NOT been the case for a lot of them). That doesn't make sense to them or me if I am being honest.

Hasn't this always been the case with the flu shot which I imagine many if not most people in a retirement home have been getting for years?
This is like saying sleeping is a "waste of time, how can I be more productive during my sleep?".

"clearing the mind", aka Shamatha without an object, has been compared to deep sleep but also a space where insights happen. You should give it a try, do it for 10 minutes a day for a month, just relax and don't hang onto anything (thought, feeling, noise, anything, just let them happen, relax some more).

Some of the theories are that it lets our right brain take over, others that only by stopping trying to be in control can old memories and repressed emotion come up, and some others are about deeper of sleep/reparation.

I'm as rational as the next guy, but this type of mediation has affected me more than other forms. Please check this video [2] of a brain researcher describing having a stroke in her left brain, and has a lot of parallel with some descriptions of deep meditative state.

Do you have by chance an idea how the rich-content plugins might work with markdown?

Tables could just be HTML, but stuff like Gnuplot diagrams or GraphViz graphs need to store their input data aswell as the actual rendered image.

If that actually happens, I'm surprised the article doesn't cover it. I've never experienced that.
Ads are a fundamental problem. They skew the incentives.

The search engine could, for example, give semi-poor results, making the person search again, increasing ad impressions.

An ad-supported search engine would also prioritize pages with ads that are also conveniently sold by the search engine.

As a user, I want a search engine to give me the best page with the fewest searches. An ad-supported search engine wants me to view more ads and click on them. Those are, if not orthogonal, often in conflict.
The GP claimed "Microsoft didn't lose any lawsuit in the US for for tying its web browser to Windows". This is absolutely false. From the Wikipedia link,

> Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson issued his findings of fact on November 5, 1999, which stated that Microsoft's dominance of the x86-based personal computer operating systems market constituted a monopoly, and that Microsoft had taken actions to crush threats to that monopoly, including Apple, Java, Netscape, Lotus Software, RealNetworks, Linux, and others.[5] Judgment was split in two parts. On April 3, 2000, he issued his conclusions of law, according to which Microsoft had committed monopolization, attempted monopolization, and tying in violation of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act.[17] Microsoft immediately appealed the decision.[18]

The government may have agreed to a settlement on appeal but Microsoft lost the initial suit.
I will think because it is not contagious and does not affect the global economy as such
I mean that’s literally where the money ends up anyway. I have a small amount in Wealthfront to check it out. With my “10/10” risk allocation, my money is all in vanguard funds.

45% VTI
20% VEA
19% VWO
14% VIG
2% VETB

They do also offer some services such as “tax loss harvesting” that you can’t really do on your own, but I don’t really know if it’s worth their fee.

Really, I think one of the best investing strategies is to buy and hold a variety of Vanguard funds and stop thinking about it.
Ofcourse it just works. Apple makes software and hardware for Apple.

I think the timing of this is specifically to avoid that scenario if Republicans retake the Senate.

The risk is that Sinema and Manchin have shown very little party loyalty. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they say we should bring back the filibuster for judicial appointments.
Abecedarian
> Without vaccination, the average person's risk of dying of COVID is approximately 0.5%. The vaccine trial showed that it is 98% effective, so it cuts your risk by another factor of 50. As a point of comparison, if you are unvaccinated then COVID is ~10x more dangerous than the flu.

Also covid is heavily weighted towards the elderly, the flu is not (or at least not as much). IIRC ages 30-50 have around the same risk as the flu, and under 30 have more risk from the flu.
By your definition "post-scarcity economy" is an oxymoron, and this whole discussion is moot and pointless.

If intellectual goods aren't post-scarcity in the 21st century, then nothing in the 24th century is either.
Hence the emphasis on cycling things around. You’re not trying to cut and run, but retain exposure while crystallizing the loss.

I’m not in US, but what are the rules about buying back a stock that you just sold?

In Canada, it’s a 30d wait for the loss to count, but you can buy back another similar company/index the next minute and your loss still counts.

If the price of oil craters and you sell your -10% Exxon and buy -10% Chevron, you’re not timing the market but you are crystallizing a loss.

Or change between Solactive and MSCI-based index funds because they’re “only” 95% identical.
There are probably better sources, https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/cdc-director-acknowl... (Aug 2020)

> U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield agreed that some hospitals have a monetary incentive to overcount coronavirus deaths as they do deaths for other diseases. “I think you’re correct in that we’ve seen this in other disease processes, too. Really, in the HIV epidemic, somebody may have a heart attack but also have HIV — the hospital would prefer the [classification] for HIV because there’s greater reimbursement,” Redfield said during a House panel hearing Friday when asked by Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer about potential “perverse incentives.”

> What's your point? Trump limited himself to young white Christian conservatives with proven far-right agendas, that's more limited than 7%.

My point is that I don't want Donald Trump to set the bar on what is right and appropriate conduct for an American president. I don't think citing Trump's many shortcomings makes it okay for Biden to do dumb things like automatically ruling out 93% of the population on the basis of race and gender.
Obesity is the #1 reason covid is a problem though. And metabolic syndrome, nearly the same thing.
