> People keep saying this, but if hospital capacity was actually the "real" bottleneck in treating covid then why haven't we seen massive campaigns to expand that capacity?

You mean like calling in the national guard to help alleviate the problem or busing in nurses from all over the country, or creating temporary wards, or fighting to get more ventilators and medications? All of those things and more have been happening.

> "Do this thing that is marginally beneficial for adults and potentially actively harmful long term for children

Not only are you minimizing the benefits here, but you're prioritizing potential outcomes over proven ones. That is not something that makes sense to me. I want to make my choices based on our best understanding of the evidence we have right now, not based on things that may or may not ever happen in the future.

Right now, getting vaccinated and wearing a mask when community spread is high in your area are proven to do a lot of good to help prevent very real harms. That's enough for me.
Which is absolutely not even remotely close to being the same as your custom domain being a Google OAuth provider. The question stands - hard to imagine how it won't require action on users' parts.

And even in the context of this thread, having a sending alias doesn't magically make you able to check mail on a domain you don't control... having a forward alias means nothing in this context.

Examples:

* If anyone were using a paid Tailscale plan with a free GSuite account, they're probably just hosed. I have no idea how they're going to migrate short of Tailscale extending their auth mechanisms.

* Anyone "logging in" with a custom domain email might need to click a link to finish logging in. Unless your GSuite admin migrates mail services manually, you're not getting that email.
After seeing an asterisk in one of my friends' shares, I'm now forced to play on hard mode as well. I can't risk the peer-shame of skating on easy mode anymore :)

So that being said, I'm bracing myself for the curses-of-early-success this will lead me on. Right now I sometimes toss out a completely different word just to cover the search space. It has led me to quickly narrow down options. Am I screwed if my first guess matches on 2 letters? (Say, "___ES").

I guess that's why it's called "Hard Mode" to begin with.
My iPhone 8 connected to my Bose SoundLink II has the same issues! Glad it's not just me.
> Some things in life are more important than property.

If the property isn't important, why are you stealing it?

Personally I don't really care whether you think it's moral or not to steal, as long as you acknowledge that a victim of theft has an equally moral right to "steal" back what was taken, and to use a similar justification to steal a proportional (additional) amount from perpetrator. "Turnabout is fair play" and all that.

One way to look at it could be that protocols create potential (sowing) and businesses exploit that potential (harvesting). Without the protocols I believe some of the walled gardens would also be impossible.
The best example i can think of is email, which created opportunities for businesses for events, ecommerce, login systems, etc.

Appreciate your perspective.

I disagree on a few points but I think your move to the Netherlands is right for you. I don't think it's going to be very productive to continue on some of these points, although I have to be honest I think you're just kind of offloading the responsibility of protecting you onto someone else and hoping for the best when you relinquish legal means of armed defense. But it's worked for the past several decades (as long as you don't look further back), for most the people most the time in the Netherlands, and you're probably of European appearance, so there may not be much risk to you personally if you're surrounded by people who may see you as one of their own. Fortunately as someone of international mobility it's a decision for you rather than a position of no alternative.

I think we've pretty much drilled down into political reasons being a very significant reason for your choices. I also lament the problem of poor political tractability in the US, although I think some of this has to do with federal consolidation of power in a nation with wide interests, culture, region, economy, and values. EU has solved this by have a loose confederation of nation which for each individual nation may be more homogenous than US, and maybe the US could offer more to different sets of values by breaking up some of the federal power that forces bad compromises for everyone.
> It's not about individual risk, it's about collective risk, and honestly it's quite selfish to consider the COVID risks only with regard to yourself.

Is it wrong to be selfish? That seems be an implicit assumption in your argument.

Seems to be good politics I suppose.

The thing about MMT, is that it’s not about racking up gigantic debts per se, their thesis is that deficits and debt don’t matter in an absolute sense, but in relation to other monetary factors. Eg. once inflation picks up, then it becomes necessary to cut budget deficits.
Regardless of their activity, long-term stored waste is expected to be vitrified and stored in rock formations that are water-tight (in France's case a specific type of clay) and have not moved for millions of years.

You're doing what I take issue with what she was doing: misrepresenting the arguments. There is a kernel to what she has said, however she pours gasoline onto it to expose some sort of villain that doesn't actually exist. It's a great story though.

I discredit her because she was never interested in finding truth but wears the guise of being someone who is. Now more than ever (even late 15th century) is it difficult to discern misinformation. The last thing we need are smart and capable people weaponizing misunderstanding.

I wanted to create javascript-free documentation and articles, but it was annoying to add latex, code, sidenotes, a table of contents, and other niceties. So I created a tool to automate the process. It is very unfinished and can't handle many edge cases, but there are plenty of features to try out.

Learn how to use it from the documentation located at https://triplelog.com/writer/readme.html. To give you an idea of what is possible, that page was created with Triplelog Writer and is entirely javascript-free. The total network load is about 100 KB - most of which is the Katex CSS and fonts.

I think it is really easy to use, but the documentation is probably not good enough yet to make everyone agree with that statement. If you have any questions about how to use it, ask away.

Cool article!
My understanding (I've never played it) is:

each day there is a 5 letter word.
You have a limited number of guesses as to what word it is (iirc 6 guesses).
When you make a guess, it marks each letter with something indicating whether the actual word had that letter in that position, whether that word has a copy of that letter (and not one you already found), or whether that letter does not appear in that word.

All of your guesses have to be words.

In hard mode, all of your guesses have to contain all of the letters which you got right in a previous guess.

At the end (if you get the word within 6 guesses?) you are given an option to share (on twitter mostly, I think) a representation of your game, in a way that doesn't reveal what words you guessed or what the final word was, just which positions had which of the 3 markings, which, in this share feature, are represented using emoji with the colored square blocks.

This results in many people posting grids of colored square blocks, followed some fraction out of 6.

Reposting my previous notes on Playwright (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30060135):

I just want to plug Playwright by Microsoft as I've been using it over the past month and have had a really great experience with it: https://playwright.dev
It's built by the founders of Puppeteer which came out of the Chrome team. Some things I like about it:

1. It's reliable and implements auto-waiting as described in the article. You can use modern async/await syntax and it ensures elements are a) attached to the DOM, visible, stable (not animating), can receive events, and are enabled: https://playwright.dev/docs/actionability

2. It's fast — It creates multiple processes and runs tests in parallel, unlike e.g. Cypress.

3. It's cross-browser — supports Chrome, Safari, and Firefox out-of-the-box.
4. The tracing tools are incredible, you can step through the entire test execution and get a live DOM that you can inspect with your browser's existing developer tools, see all console.logs, etc...

5. The developers and community are incredibly responsive. This is one of the biggest ones — issues are quickly responded to and addressed often by the founders, pull requests are welcomed and Slack is highly active and respectful.

My prior experience with end-to-end tests was that they were highly buggy and unreliable and so Playwright was a welcome surprise and inspired me to fully test all the variations of our checkout flow.
Just google for paramotor training, there are many schools in the US. I suggest get training near the place you plan to do most of your flying, because flying at the beach with constant, laminar, mid-strong winds is very different than flying at the countryside with bumpy and low-mid winds.

If in doubt, learn to fly near the beach. The views are amazing :)
Yup. Unfortunately the people of taiwan are going to get an unwelcome wake up call. If powerful armed nations of europe and north america cant stop russia they will certainly not be able to stop china. I am curious if post taiwan india will become a testing ground as it appears fertile land for destabilisation. We shall see how things unravel.
I am not asserting anything. I am stating that Taiwan is indeed Chinese territory, historically and today.

Now, there has been (arguably still is) a civil war and the overall territory of China is split with both sides claiming the whole but only one side is strong enough to think they still have a shot a it.

Now, to go back to the article, it serves the US' interests to support one side against the other hence why they do it, in the same way that it serves their interests to 'grab' Ukraine against Russia. It's the same old global Great Game.
Or we could better adopt secure/confidential computing enclaves. This would allow the organization to have control over the silo'd apps and validate some degree of security (code tampering, memory encryption, etc) but not need to trust that other apps on the device or even the OS weren't compromised.

When a company sends USD to a bank account in Argentina, the bank must to convert that amount to "pesos argentinos" (ARS), using the "official rate". You can't get USD transferred to your account from other people than yourself (or a company owned by you).

Right now the "official rate" is 110,5 ARS for each USD, but if you sell your USD (using crypto or in the "dark market") and get ARS, you'll get 222,5 ARS for each USD.

And that's before the taxes.
That's still body shaming though. It's sexism because it doesn't apply to men, but it's body shaming because it's only applying since she is good looking and doesn't hide it.
So how do you really feel about monetizing recreational lifestyle activities on social media?

A couple things. OP is specifically referring to how people make money while sailing (non-commercially) indefinitely, not hobbyists who presumably have a day job, a traditional source of income, or are retired with savings, and sailing occasionally. Also, OP caveats their assertion about social media posting schedules with "most popular boats" - not simply most boats - it's in your quote. If you're not pimping your boat and yourself on the gram (or wherever), you're boat's not going to qualify as popular, and the statement will not apply to you.
> but it's not something to judge people's ethical positions over.

It is, actually. We don't have to be so so careful not to ever pass judgement.

We are talking about the belief that people paying for a service are entitled to increased safety at the expense of others, who did not pay for it. It's ok to find that wicked and to say so.
I spent 9 months in South America in 2012-2013, 5 of which I lived in Palermo Hollywood, Buenos Aires, aka the hipster ex-pat neighborhood. I loved it -- for the most part. I recall a few salient aspects of everyday life related to money:

- sometimes when I'd buy something at the chino (corner store run by Chinese immigrants), I'd get candy instead of my change back, due to the coin shortage. No arguing with them about that.

- I would get empanadas down the street at a bakery almost every day, and the woman who owned it would complain and almost start crying if I brought a bill that was too big (like a 100-peso note). I would occasionally buy fewer items than I wanted because I had smaller bills. I think she was happier that way.

- the best exchange rate for American dollars was the downtown grey market on Avenida Florida, where tourists would frequent. I would just walk down and guys would notice me as a tourist, and say "cambio allá" and point me around a corner, where I could trade American dollars for whatever the rate in pesos was that week. There was an official unofficial exchange rate, better than the official exchange rate.

- across the river, Uruguay just straight up abandoned their own peso and used American dollars instead. Same with Ecuador as I later found.

- when I got tired of wine, I'd get beer at this brewery in Palermo -- Orion, I think it was called. I can't remember. But I do remember in October 2012, beers cost about 24 pesos and were about 36 pesos by spring 2013. Cheaper for me since my wallet was backed by USD, but that just meant I drank more beer. :)

I really miss BA sometimes.
Expecting mainland Chinese to use the formal name of the PRC to self-identify is needlessly clunky and formal.

The reason why many Chinese, regardless of nationality, use the phrase “mainland Chinese” or “mainland China” in English is because it’s the direct translation of 中国大陆, the phrase used to identify the mainland. It doesn’t indicate political affiliation in any way.

Too bad you can't know if you're sick or not until it's too late. It's one of the reasons this virus spreads so quickly. Even if you're not sick wearing masks also helps to protect you from getting sick. It's win/win for extremely minimal effort/inconvenience.

You can even demonstrate a similar concept with English and Latin characters. There is no single thing called a "grapheme" linguistically. There are actually two different types of graphemes. The character sequence "sh" in English is a single referential grapheme but two analogical graphemes. Depending on what the specification means, "short" could be reversed as either "trosh" or "trohs". That's without getting into transliteration. The word for Cherokee in the Cherokee language is "Tsalagi" but the "ts" is a Latin transliteration of a single Cherokee character. Should we count that as one grapheme or two?

Of course, if an interviewer is really asking you how to do this, they're probably either 1) working in bioinformatics, in which case there are exactly four ASCII characters they really care about and the problem is well-defined, or 2) it's implementing something like rev | cut -d '-' -f1 | rev to get rid of the last field and it doesn't matter how you implement "rev" just so long as it works exactly the same in reverse and you can always recover the original string.
Possibly, but if you are processing live market data, you are in the arena of almost hard real-time systems. I.e. you effectively have a time budget to process every single tick/message. Then, even low-level optimization can make a large difference. E.g. if you can make some helper method use less memory, i.e. it uses less of your caches, that can make a big difference on your business logic. Amdahl's law is not at all suited to understand such non-linear non-local inter-dependencies.
Google tells me he caught in 1952, and we only began mass vaccination in polio in 1955, so almost certainly not.
That has nothing to do with dress. We critique men's dress very often as we do women's.

I think another aspect is that men's fashion is inherently more limited - because - men are aware of the critiques and don't want to deal with it.
Part of it is popularity/reach. People find objectionable content more objectionable when it's more visible.
> Or, we could just give Nevada $50B and ask them to take on the risk for the next 100kyears.

I wonder what the reasonable risk-adjusted cost of burying this waste in Nevada would be. The odds of a failure are probably pretty low, and the odds of a failure that leeches into the water system in some significant dosage seems super low (how much of Nevada's water comes from deep reservoirs versus surface supplies and how integrated are these systems?). Also, how does that stack up against the death toll due to fossil fuels ("well we want to switch to renewables eventually" <- meanwhile people are still dying at a rate of tens or hundreds of thousands per year).
And that's fine, but now you don't have the right behavior in the limit to defeat longtermism, because with the right assumptions population growth can easily swamp the effects of a delay. Unless I'm missing something you really do need the value of a life to approach zero in the distant future for your argument to work.

I actually agree with you that longtermism is problematic; I'm not fond of ethical systems that give wildly shifting directives based on guesses about the shape of the future. But that's why I'm not utilitarian. Grant all the assumptions and the logic seems pretty sound to me.

Appreciate the response! I kept it more limited to US companies in the short term just to limit scope, but I’ll expand it to the other companies at some point.

For some of the other companies, they use very unusual job application platforms, or made their own job platform. Ideally, I’m trying to avoid making an individual web scraper for each company, so I limited the scope to not pulling from those companies.

In addition to that, some companies have annoying platforms (“solve this problem in the web browser before we show you the job application”). I removed the companies that make it obtrusive to apply to them, and have no intention of adding those companies at any point.

As far as help, potentially? I’ve vaguely debated open-sourcing this, but I’m gonna need to think a lot more on whether that’s the direction I want to go. Right now, from a PoC perspective, I think the features are “ok”, so I’m focusing on different marketing strategies at this moment!
I'm with you on this.

I don't remember much of algo questions before 2010 outside of actual GOOG. If anything, OOP design like "for a game of chess" were common in LNKD-like companies. And j.u.c-like real life knowledge.

I remember being asked to implement quick sort or reverse a list in 2010 or so. Then to do DFS on a graph or detect all connected subareas of a matrix in 2015. DP questions were so new I din't know what they were back then. I had interviews last year with two out of three rounds being DP puzzles.

I don't know about junior engineers but I want to go outside at least on weekends and not think much about computers. So the hours I have for "studying" can be spent either on learning something new and useful (Flink? ML? golang generics?) or memorizing this mindless leetcoding. I've done development for too long to have any interest in algo trivia or problems not based in real life situations.
