If I'm guilty of giving anecdotes, (which I am, and you call tell this when I prefixed my statement: If you want an anecdote,...), you're guilty of reading the news but not knowing what you're talking about.

Please, tell me about all these electronic shortages that are affecting car production in the country I live where the cars... don't have these electronics. You want the high spec model with a 4 inch color screen?

Once again, I'm at a major advantage in this situation, having been in all of these countries and experienced it first hand. Using these currencies, buying products in these countries, experiencing inflation.

Unfortunately, you wouldn't know how accurate your chart is. I was in Argentina, currency charts were showing 49 pesos to USD, blue rate went from 60 to 90 in a month. The offical chart hardly moved. Go and find a chart of the blue rate in Argentina (tip: it doesn't exist, well it does, but then take that to one of the guys in the street yelling cambio cambio and see if he will honor it)

To satisfy your previous question, what is an unstable currency, I would argue that over any period of time, if a currency devalues continuously in relation to other major currencies then it is unstable. That is, if you look at a chart over 1 year, 5 years 10 years, there's only ever an upward trend vs the USD, that currency is unstable. Welcome to South America.

Since, you've said these countries have stable currencies, I would love for you to explain to me your definition of a stable currency, that isn't "falsafiable" by the first chart that I will pull up on my phone.

Another point, hyperinflation, 50% devaluation per month, technically hasn't occurred in Argentina.

If you're willing to take a bet, just let me know, otherwise thanks for telling me about what's going on in the country I live, using info from the charts you haven't provided but I already read, all whilst having never been here or experienced it yourself.
Honestly I have very little hope that Google will be able to provide a seamless migration that doesn't cause all sorts of issues down the line (Especially if you are using google cloud, firebase, analytics, play store developer, etc). It makes me think of what some people deal with when they log into iTunes/App Store with 1 Apple ID and then they login to their phone with a separate one which is supported but iffy or at least odd. I never like to have an account setup that is different/odd/non-standard. I can just imagine spending hours/days/weeks years from now trying to figure out why something isn't working only to finally hear "Oh, I see your account was converted from a legacy google apps account which caused....", if I'm even lucky enough to talk with a human with access to debug that deep about an issue I have.

I think I'd rather just pay the money (which is easier for me than some, I only need 1 account). I always knew this was a possibility and I'm glad I got as good of a run as I did. I've had this account since they first released "G Apps", they've earned the $6/mo going forward.

ICU's are not overflowing. They run at an 80 to 90 percent capacity in general.

> N95 masks are not at all difficult to breathe in in my experience. Not at all.

My default assumption would be that if the mask doesn't make it more difficult to breathe then it is unlikely to be effective. The filtration mechanism should introduce friction which you then have to compensate for with additional pressure in your lungs.

kudos for putting some stuff out there, but not really seeing a real benefit over more established libs like intercooler, htmx, alpine or petite vue. also seems like your anchor tags in the intro section of your docs aren't working correctly
KDE have also abandoned writing their own browser engine. Mozilla continues to produce one but they continue to attract very few outside contributors and rely largely on Google for funding. If no-one's actually doing something we should be wary of blithely assuming that it would be esay or even possible.
This reminds me of an interesting bug I saw where I was seeing a strange flag in some Arabic text. However when I copied the string and pasted it into a text editor, the flag of Saudi Arabia appeared instead (which made much more sense). After some vexillologic research on Wikipedia I identified the original flag as American Samoa and it suddenly all made sense. Turns out some broken RTL support was flipping the SA into AS at presentation.

I'm giving you some pointers below but the best thing is to get proper training from an instructor. Helping you choose the right equipment for you is a big part of it.

Your equipment has 3 main components: your engine (check out Vitorazzi, their "Moster 185" is definitely the most popular engine in the world), your cage (check out Parajet https://parajet.com/ - they have some cages already assembled with the Moster 185) and your wing (I fly Ozone - https://www.flyozone.com/paramotor/).
Less than 20 years—what is 20 to you? That's a generation's worth of time to live, love, have grandchildren; enjoy retirement. People of that age with Covid-19 are often nowhere near the point where hospice is recommended. Would you expect the treatment you prescribe?

In any case, we're seeing a surge in cases where the young are facing hospitalizations https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/07/health/covid-children-hos.... When I trained at a country hospital, it was overwhelmingly people under 50 being hospitalized for COVID-19. Children are at risk and we shouldn't think like it's spring of 2020 anymore.
> It's solvable with appropriate tooling. I.e. you can store API definitions in a separate repository and make the services or CI/CD check API usage is valid at build time.
Makes sense, though it feels somewhat like re-inventing the wheel (same-codebase tooling are generally easier and faster to use).

> What do you mean by that?
Data and workflow have to be unified across the company's products to provide the user with a seamless experience. As above, to me this seems may contradict some components of microservices like splitting the database, since one ends up with the same constraints (synchronization, shared schema) while complicating the orchestration (since now cross-system integration is needed).

Sure, something like Reddit or HN can break the unified experience, but any important or productivity system will greatly suffer from such fragmentation. I assume it can be achieved with micro-services, but it seems somewhat harder.
FTA: the kid countered $50K, and Musk ghosted him.

See, there's no reason to pay this kid any amount of money, because he's scraping publicly available data. The moment Musk pays out, there will be 10000 copycats scraping that public data and publishing it.

Musk ghosted him because he's figuring out how to get that public data scrubbed out.

> we now know that there was minimal to zero medical benefit to me getting this vaccine

Actually the opposite is true.

Data from other countries shows that during the delta wave you had 2-3 times less change to catch it. Both risks very relatively low but yours was still better.

Now with omicron wave that has clear advantage to escape previous immune response, you still have similar advantage but convalescents without vaccination have much higher change to catch it than before. You are now dodging real bullets.

> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28170099

You were absolutely correct there in your conclusion.

I believe that people are very reactive to so called natural immunity because of misguided suggestion at the beginning of epidemic to reach the herd immunity by mass infection.

We later wound out that many of those people were actually anti-vaxxers in disguise because they continue to suggest this even after we had vaccines available.

But don't be mad - you now have much better immunity against omicron.

I am sorry for your loss and it was shameful of your coworkers to treat you like this but you were right and you were actually much more protected than they were.
I'm rewriting an MVC 5 app in Blazor as we speak. I'm "full-stack" but my JS skills are pretty low compared to C#, which I am extremely comfortable with. It is actually extremely fun to work with. Havin ability to inject a service directly into a page is amazing.

I'm hoping Blazor gets more popular. However, I will see how this project goes and if I hit any major road blocks, so my opinion my shift. So far it seems like a great option.
So that's notionally 40 years under Moore's law.

I have not gone through that study or article in depth yet, but the thing that jumps out at me initially is that it is using seroprevelance data from Battacharia and I am yet to understand how he is so confident in his numbers. All of his surveys from my understanding rely on data gathered from people who came in looking to be tested. Which would obviously taint the randomness as people who think they might have had COVID are much more likely to take the time to come in and be tested.

Also, if his data is to be believed, then the protection offered by having had COVID in the past has been far overstated.

The main issue here is to remember, that promises has to be given to US, to other countries - especially neighbours and to various clans of Libya and citizens of Libya - especially to young and poor hot-heads who are quick to blame their government and Leader. Then and only then you can have guarantee that you, being as a ruler of Libya are not getting rusty trombone... erm, that might be more pleasant, but apparently it was rusty pipe, that was performed on Kadaffi.

Looking how Putin is performing in Russia, it seems more than clear that he will get his rusty pipe in his anus, because the path of getting it is way too similar... Kadaffi got his rusty pipe, after his Navalny-level opponents were forced out and killed and the ones that came next were not into sophiscated and educated arguments, but went straight in with the pipe... and surprise surprise - they were new generation of Libyans, born in Lkadaffi Libya and bred by Khadaffi.

U.S. Secretary of State James Baker did not had authority to promise that NATO would “not expand one inch eastward” of Germany. Also in a real nonimaginary world, such "promises" and talks has to be realized as written agreements on paper. Completely different from what Russia signed in a very real Budapest Memorandum.
> To build nukes you need a nuclear industry.

The corollary being, if you want to reduce the chance of nuclear war, you should phase out civilian nuclear power.

At the very least, we should limit nuclear energy to only countries that are declared nuclear weapon states. If necessary, the ban could apply to only building new nuclear power plants after some agreed date (e.g. 2045), to give some time to improve battery and other energy storage technologies.

Also, the nuclear weapon states should commit to using 10% of their installed capacity on atmospheric carbon capture, as a tax on the privilege of operating that dangerous technology. This would effectively be a carbon dividend for countries that had to forego using nuclear energy.
True. They had this cooking classes from some Michelin 3-star restaurant chef. Apart from some slick flourishes these are not usually about learning some practical skills.
It's like any problem in business development.

(1) Have a good pitch

(2) Reach out. Calm down the butterflies in your stomach and make some cold calls. Connect to a banking executive you find on LinkedIn. Look at trade publications such as American Banker and if you are interested in somebody who gets interviewed give them a call. I own stock in a local bank I respect and I'd try finding an executive or board member at a shareholder meeting, ribbon cutting ceremony, rotary club or some event that they sponsor.

You're unlikely to get a deal out of the first meeting but if you ask a lot of questions you can test the water, refine your pitch (1), get more confident at (2), get more contacts and repeat.

Business development is not easy but I'm certain that there are bankers right now who would be excited to expand their business by finding the right partners.
> I want to know things such as: how much overhead do function calls have, what's the in-memory size of various data types, which strings are interned, can I switch coroutines from inside a C function called from Squirrel...

Both of those studies predate the omnicron wave. The rate of transmission in fully vaccinated regions is still very high.

I’m a product manager who frequents hacker news. I typically write about non-tech issues in my free time. Is it bad form to post my writings here? If it isn’t, is there a convention (such as “show HN”) that I should use?
It's not, though, according to your own source. Also, you may also want to look at the assigned not-corrupt index rather than only a ranking, in which the US scores only 67 out of 99.
Thanks, that was an interesting explanation. Though it does lead me to ask: what is a "set mark" and how does it differ from a "file mark"?

`man st` does a much better job of explaining the difference between `fsf` and `fsfm` than the `mt` docs:

MTFSF Forward space over mt_count filemarks.

MTFSFM Forward space over mt_count filemarks. Reposition the tape to the BOT side of the last filemark.

I’ve got a project that would work very well with linear data streaming, but it looks like even the cheapest of used tape drives probably only break even with HDDs in the tens of terabytes. Ah well, one can dream...

Can you quote exactly which medical advice Joe Rogan gave that was anti-scientific? I am 90% sure that you are saying BS, and that Rogan's advice was not anti-scientific, it was just against your politics.
Endemic also means, particularly in the context of disease, widely present in the area.

Endemic for COVID, therefore, means that theres no locking it out because its everywhere.

And since COVID can jump species, its done. Game over. It will be with us forever.

I think we should either evaluate arguments for ourselves, or rely on a broad consensus of experts in the field in question.

If we resort to argument from authority, but cherry pick our authorities to be those which agree with our preexisting views, then that won't get us very far epistemically.

In this case, I think both the broad consensus of experts as well as the balance of evidence/argumentation supports the efficacy of masks.
Well, continue classes and your studying. Have you implemented semaphores?
No CPA is going to discuss anything at all about a client with any 3rd party unless legally compelled.
Data sorting and data paging are top of mind for me. I wanted to get the APIs / tags for that right before committing them to the core. Hope to add them soon. Without those tags, you'll need to write an escape hatch :/, or sort and page the data on the backend and just have the frontend be a viewer.

Remote actions are an option -- you don't need to use them, but they provide a great escape hatch when you do want your app logic to be implemented in your backend language, not on the frontend. This is great for people who might be python experts but don't want to touch frontend.

That's interesting. I'm in California, and I know a lot of kids that have caught it, but only 2 that can trace it back to the classroom.

We have caught about 3 things over the past ~year, but none of it covid (as far as tests showed) and all of them had obvious non-classroom links.

Two of them were sick friends. And the third was probably when our 3 year old licked a trashcan at the zoo.

You're saying it's widely available. I'm saying it's not widely consumed.

And I stand by my opinion that naming a blended product after its most prominent flavor is both normal and desirable. But I see no issue with requiring blends to be labeled as blends. The regulation described sidethread here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30106290 ) seems pretty reasonable to me.

Your question is the equivalent of "Since you cannot provide evidence, I must be right." This is a fallacy. The other party's lack of evidence does not strengthen your position.
It is no problem if you participate in HN as a real person.

That is, if you post comments and submit articles from a variety of sites that get some upvotes and slip in a few links from a site of your own that is great.

If you sign up for a new account and start spamming links from your blog that will get you in trouble.
On the one hand the proliferation of features such as WebGL, WebRTC, WASM, etc. greatly increases browser attack surfaces. On the other hand, it allows a single relatively constrained system to focus on for security hardening / sandboxing.

Regardless, being open standards, not obnoxiously object oriented, and better designed to interoperate with normal HTML content, the modern HTML5 ecosystem is certainly way more promising than Java applets / Flash / Silverlight.

It’s pretty forgiving. For example, an S&P500 ETF and a “Total Stock Market ETF” are considered different even though they are 99% correlated. There are lots of indexes from different companies that track the same thing and I wouldn’t be surprised if 2 ETFs that track 2 different “Total Stock Market” indexes also work (99.9% correlation?)
