Seems unlikely to me, this plausibly increases the value more than it decreases the value. A ton of press, driving people to support him, driving direct sales (e.g. https://neilyoungarchives.com/account?screen=plans). Increases the potential audience from "people who like his music" to "people who dislike Joe Rogan (or like his music)". Etc.

It could turn out poorly for him, but even from a purely business perspective it's not an obviously bad decision.

Me too, nuts are terrible in general (although technically peanuts are a legume). Mine go in the freezer right away until I need them.

I did an interesting experiment the other day: our admin had stashed snacks in late 2019 and I recently discovered them when we returned to the office. The little bags of hipster packaged nuts were unbelievably bad, especially walnuts. Interestingly, the expensive but major brand almonds are still good, must be higher-tech packaging.
The system really starts to bog down with 15 ~ 20 tabs open for things like jira, roam, email, etc. CPU usage will be very low but when swapping is in effect system slowdown is really noticeable. I don't see the same issue with Safari but of course Safari does not have the extensions I rely on.

I love the Air but excited for my 64gb macbook pro arriving in a month.

yes, nuclear reprocessing is actually a fairly old technology and it closes the nuclear fuel cycle, leaving only short lived byproducts.

It is currently illegal in America because reprocessing spent nuclear fuel produces weapons grade plutonium which is a proliferation risk. The economics are not great either since it's cheaper to just mine more uranium and pay to store the (5% used) fuel.

France and Russia have a few plants that do it though.
pretty cool! that's exactly how I was imagining it :D(I was planning on scraping the github repo too)

I see that some companies from the repo aren't available, did you manage to scrape most of the companies from it or was it problematic?

do you need any help?
A lot of people who retire or stop working without some sort of hobby, projects or groups of like minded people to keep the mind active don't generally do so well mentally.

I retired 16 years ago at the age of 43 for some of the anti-work reasons mentioned only to get bored so I restarted, working for myself. I now actually enjoy working taking on as little or as many projects I want without any office politics, justifications for everything or job reviews with less qualified managers. Its not all roses but I wish I had done it years earlier.

Basically if you can afford to stop work then working for yourself should be an option you should consider

As VC focus shifts from previous years, here’s how your pitch deck can shine
I've read and perused this, and I have some specific questions.

1. According to the spec[0], a "block package" is "a collection of files making a block type (which is 'a definition and implementation', the schema and the code) available for use by embedding applications, including its source code and accompanying metadata." However, when I browse to a "block"/"block package" in the Block Hub[1], I'm presented with a demo of the "block package" in the form of a concrete "block", a view of example data being provided to this "block", and a view of the schema of this "block". However, if this is meant to be a view of the "block package", shouldn't I also be able to find my way to the rest of this "block package", i.e. where do I view the implementation code? The spec says that a block package includes its source code, and the block hub seems to be a browser of block packages, but it doesn't give me the full view into said block packages. Is there a reason for this? Is it on the to-do list?

2. What's going on with the type signatures here? I see a lot of what look like type signatures, in both the spec and the schemas. In reading the spec, it seems like the type signatures are being used pretty loosely, maybe as pseudo code of a sort, as I don't see them being rigorously referred to. For example, I see that in "Specification > Block Types > Entity type functions"[2] under `createEntityTypes` it refers to accepting a type of "CreateEntityTypesAction" (no type signature), but then lower down it refers to accepting a type of "CreateEntityTypesAction<T>", but then says that the shape of that entity is just two hard-coded fields, with no reference to the generic type "T". What's going on here? Then if I view an actual block in the Block Hub[1], I see that the schema for that block also has definitions for entities with some kind of type signature 'something' going on e.g. "#/definitions/Record<string,{cellState:UseRowStateLocalState<{},unknown>;}>". Maybe those are for use with something like TypeScript? I'm not familiar with TypeScript, so I don't know how to parse those, though I do know that they're not specifying anything at the level of "JSON Schema"[3], so I assume they're related to either something in the spec or something in the implementation, or both. What's happening here? Are these types in the schema owned by the implementation (e.g. they're used by the source code of the implementation for JSX or something?), while the types in the spec are merely pseudocode?

If there's already a pattern where additional layers of features such as typing/templating are being shoved into the schemas of Blocks, might this make interop between blocks more difficult in the future?

Sadly they are not just killing children but children are clearly one of the most important vectors carrying the virus from family to family. Childcare and schools are the super nodes in an otherwise socially distanced network. Any effort to slow down the spread in these places will be multiplied across the whole population. Considering the breakdown of medical care system not doing anything right now is irresponsible.
Of all the replies to my comments, this is the best one I've seen. You're right that science reporting should instill wonder, it probably isn't that excessive to say it's mysterious or bizarre (my complaint is more the "we've never seen something like this so far" but let's not get into the semiotics of unsupervised clustering), and it's unfair to lump this in with Really Bad Clickbait.

I just have a strong aversion to the science->PR->news hype cycle and that's what happened here.
In reality most people don't use "arbolitos" because their rate has a big spread.

Instead people who need to exchange regularly go to "cuevas" (caves) which are just hidden and illegal currency exchanges that have much more volume.
Migration down or even laterally to another Suite domain account is very interesting if they manage to include everything in the accounts. It was a huge nightmarish omission in the previous annoucement.
AWS S3 object versioning makes it pretty easy to allow a server to add backup data without the ability to permanently modify or delete data that existed previously.

For my backups I use restic and sync the restic repository data to S3. Even if the source data is corrupted, I can always roll back to the set of S3 object versions from a particular time.

The downside to using S3 object versioning is that I haven't found any good tools to work with object versions across multiple objects.

For example, I need to prune old backups from my restic repository. To do that I have to delete object versions that are no longer current (i.e. the latest version of an object). To accomplish this I had to write a script that uses Boto3 (AWS SDK for Python) that lets me delete non-current object versions and deletes any delete-marker versions.

The code was pretty straightforward, but I wish there was a tool that made it easier to do that.
Then a new goal is needed. Allow anyone to opt out of SS/Medicare for life, cutting themselves off from social aid in exchange for not providing it.
Children are safe from having debilitating symptoms due to COVID. I think it's worth being precise with language because the shorthand has been confusing for many people and used as a bludgeon in the reopening-schools-debate. But of course the real issue is children getting COVID from family, bringing it to school, spreading it to other kids who then give it to other parents. I have not seen analyses which attempt to quantify the effect of closing schools while taking this into account, but I'm sure they're out there.
It is absolutely true:

The CDC does. [0]. So does the Mayo Clinic [1]. So does the Cleveland Clinic [2]. So does Johns Hopkins [3]. So does the American Academy of Pediatrics [4].

And the WHO does suggest many children wear masks. [5]

If you don't trust even one of these institutions over your own judgement, you are failing to participate successfully in society.

> so I don't pass the infection onto those who are indeed vulnerable; so I don't overtax an already overtaxed healthcare system and healthcare workers

This seems reasonable and is a common point of view. It does make me curious though. Did you get a yearly flu shot prior to Covid? If not, has Covid changed your mind about this?

The Block Protocol is building on a pretty large history of similar ideas, but none have really succeeded. Joel's interest in this project is some cause for hope as is the embrace of existing standards like react, webcomponents, and HTML.

Historically, OpenDoc is pretty relevant. So is OLE. More recently Notion, Coda, Microsoft Loop [1], Anytype.io, etc lean on the same concepts to allow you to break documents into independent & reassemble-able components. There hasn't been a large ecosystem here, although the componentized approach has more traction now as we move away from skeuomorphism.

On the data side, Solid is the most relevant. The models are often the same, users give applications very granular data permissions and progressively authorize data access as required for additional functionality. Developers seem to dislike the model... You don't really know what you're going to be rendering and key features are not really used.

From a pure schema perspective, you have schema.org. It's a pretty comprehensive attempt to catalog structured data for most use cases. It's nice that this project can kinda build on the semantic web, but most people ignore it! That being said, adoption would go a long way towards interoperability between OSS projects.

I'd like to live in a world where everything works together? But I'm not so hopeful at this point because the ecosystem has very weird economics. Ultimately the "Block Developer" needs to be compensated, but the host is the one getting the SaaS or advertising payment. Obviously simple components can be free, but very complex ones may need micropayments, licensing fees, etc.

Drones, in the form of a jetpack.

A little joystick in each hand with DJI levels of KISS, and with the same DJI "Help I'm out of control!" button too. Probably "return to home" too.

We don't/can't have that, because there's no servo-mechanical joints to be controlled in the referenced rocket pack system.
The cost is between the same and many times higher, and the risk of explosion in one rocket approaches 100% very quickly when you launch hundreds.

Let me clarify: the polio vaccine is effective enough that after getting it, we all get to live our lives exactly the same way we would if polio didn't exist. You don't have to show proof of polio vaccination to keep your job or go in public places, and you don't have to take any other precautions to protect against polio.
> Also, the DoD in particular has sovereign immunity,

The federal government has waived its sovereign immunity via statute for specific kinds of lawsuits, including for copyright infringement via 28 U.S.C. 1498(b).

There is also a school of thought that says that copyright infringement violates the Fifth Amendment's takings clause, but that has yet to be endorsed (or rejected) convincingly at a federal level.

> The best you could do in that case is something like a WTO lawsuit

There are WTO disputes, but these can only be brought by one WTO member (e.g., a sovereign government) against another and generally the outcome of WTO disputes does not involve compensation.

Actually The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn did contain numerous instances of the full-blown N-word. And that's what drives most of the opposition to featuring it in HS curricula. (I'm not sure if it every used "negro" as such).

Which are unfortunate (these curriculum removals), in my view -- because they blunt the discussion of just how pervasively racist American society was at the time. And in effect, serves to further enshrine and empower the word's status as a weapon and trigger.

>The only other countries in the Americas with such a problematic currency situation are the ones facing economic sanctions.

Chile has economic sanctions? Colombia? Mexico?

Inflation is just a fact of life here to the point that in Colombia there's an inflation adjustment applied to prices on a lot of things as the new year ticks over.

If you look at the USD / Latin American currency pair you'll find none of them are stable but each is at a different stage in the 0-Bolivaries journey.

If you want an anecdote, friends bought a car last year. They can now sell it for a higher price used than what they bought it for. Isn't that great!? They think so.
> By contrast, we all 100% knew what reversing an ASCII string meant, with no ambiguity.

Not if the ASCII string employed the backspace control character to accomplish what is today done with Unicode combining characters.

Or, in fact, if it employed any other kind of control sequence.

That is an opinion. The 2001 crash caused a crisis, then a recovery, then two decades went by with many ups and downs. The entire peg might have never happened and Argentina might still be where it is today. Are you old enough to remember the hyperinflation of the late Alfonsin period? I lived through it. No peg preceded it.

what one person? Would you mind reading links in that wiki and identifying the people who were harmed. Hint: its not "one person" .

funny stuff.
The mt(1) manpage describes seeking on files, records, and file marks, but doesn't explain what any of them are. What's the difference between these these options? (It sounds like file marks are stored on the tape on a special track or something, but I can't seem to find any discussion of the others.)
This is a dangerous slippery slope.

Mr Rogan’s discussion may contain misinformation, but so can many other discussions.

Are we to have real-time “fact checkers checking?

What do we do retroactively to all the people who retrospectively said untruthful things?

Certainly very few politicians would be allowed to speak at all.
The US is not as different as you think. Seat belts are mandatory in 49/50 states, restrictions on smoking are common, restaurant employees generally need to wash their hands after going to the bathroom, "no shirt no shoes no service" is the general rule, nudity in public places is generally against the law. I don't know where you are getting your impression of US laws from, but it's just wrong.
I had a previous google account rep who had 5 children while at google and she made sure to use every day of her leave every time.

Please don't respond to a bad comment with swipes and putdowns. HN is a statistical distribution across a wide spectrum of comments. The only helpful thing to do is to make sure your own contributions raise the median quality, rather than dragging it down further. Your comment would have been fine without the first sentence. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

> HN feedback has become cancer

It's all too easy to succumb to false feelings of generality about this kind of thing [1], because (a) there's a spectrum, as I mentioned, and (b) we're all inclined to notice the things we dislike, and weight them more heavily [2]. But these are all comments that other users posted to the same thread:

Sorry. I just feel like I've reached a breaking point myself. Honestly, the only reason i don't have an exemption now is because I didn't want to freak other people out, or feel selfish because I don't have a life-threatening condition. I think people like me just can't imagine living this way much longer, my quality of life has truly sucked this year, in particular.

But it's not the same as what you have to deal with, genuinely fearing for your life.

I like the idea here, but in my experience the biggest practical issue with postmortems is getting people to actually do them. A heavy term serves as a reminder that it's an important investigation, it has to get done, we can't just put it off until it fits conveniently into the schedule. I worry whether a lighter-sounding term would make it easier for people to work on their projects first and delay post-incident investigations indefinitely.

What does this have to do with masking young children, many who are vaccinated, in schools? Are you implying that they are a source of the spread and causing medical professionals to be burnt out? and that therefore we should ignore that both the teacher and student wearing a mask might be detrimental for ESL & Language development ?
