I said what I said, If I needed to vaccinate my children I would want all information I can get available to me before I make the decision, pro, con, and otherwise. Since it’s a decision I don’t have to make, my opinion whether I agree with the US medical system, Sweden, or Joe Rogan doesn’t matter.

However, it is undeniable that the manufacturers have indemnification against any harm their vaccines may cause. If the vaccines are statistically safe, the manufacturers don’t need indemnification. If they are not statistically safe, or if their safety is unknown…they do, otherwise they would not release the product. That fact has to be considered. These companies are making billions at zero risk to them. Healthcare providers have zero risk in the recommendation. Government has zero risk at recommendations. At this point the only person assuming any risk is the patient getting the shot. And if that patient is young and healthy and statistically unlikely to have severe disease from Covid that risk assessment is important, especially for a parent.

No, sure, as a kid who was very much in to techno music the Atari ST was much admired for it's MIDI capabilities. Any actual MIDI gear was very much out of the price range for my parents and for anyone I knew. We had a setup in the music room in school with an Atari ST and a digital sampler though, had lots of fun with it.

My 30 year old grudge has more to with the one rich kid in my school who actually owned an Atari ST. It was slightly more expensive than the Amiga, which he loved to point out.
It'd be an immense drop for a long time, I'd imagine. There's 19 million coins mined total, so really it should only drop the price by about 1/19th if things were totally rational, but people will rush to sell ahead of that as soon as they saw it move, and we could see it go down to.... maybe even the low hundreds of dollars, and then people will start buying it again and it should eventually (over several years) bring it back up to, I'm guessing, around 50% of whatever its value was when the event happened, possibly over 5+ years.

There's about 1.3 million coins circulating on all exchanges as of December 2021[1] (might be higher since the sell-off but I don't see more recent numbers), so assuming everyone held but that wallet (which they won't, but let's pretend for a minute), it'd double the available supply, which I'm guessing would halve the price by itself.

There' still not enough coins for every fiat millionaire on the planet to have a whole coin (56 million millionaires globally)[2] , even with that additional 1.1 million coins flooding the market, so assuming faith in bitcoin isn't permanently shattered at that point, it'll most likely more-or-less recover eventually.

I'm sure that some people will use it as an opportunity to finally become a 'whole-coiner' (owning a whole bitcoin) and/or keep accumulating even when they're dirt cheap, trusting it will go up eventually (I will probably keep throwing $100 a month into it). I suspect those people will find a way to have large, early bitcoin-era gains from it again if they can hold onto it for several years. Make owning the OG bitcoin cool again or something (or hell, might get old enough that nostalgia kicks in and it's cool to own again).

If you can get past "north good, south bad" in studying the politics surrounding the war, and look at/ include things other than just slavery, you'll realize pretty quickly that Lincoln was more about centralizing and solidifying national power at any cost than he was concerned with any moral crusade.

He is due his credit for maintaining the Union, but the sainthood often bestowed on him is misplaced, especially in regards to race.

The politics and power dynamics of building the transcontinental railroad might be the historical lens where it's easiest to see the bigger picture, that isn't clouded by and doesn't automatically collapse into a battle over the slavery narrative. (Especially given the labor used in its construction.)

Can you describe what sort of evidence would convince you that this movement is a problem, other than the political affiliations and concerns of the organizers, the behavior of people on the ground, the symbols on display, and what actions they are calling for?

Let me steel-man your proposition. I've seen left-wing protests that were organized by people who were rather questionable, and who were far more radical than the average protester. But in those cases, the content of the protest is carefully measured so it's something everyone can support. I assume there are similar affairs on the right. So no, not everyone who attends a protest has identical views with the organizers.

However, it seems to me that even if you ignore every other bit of evidence and try to focus on what it is these protesters want and are actually doing, it's still a problem.

They don't seem to be here to respectfully petition for a change of policies. This is not the loyal opposition.

This is a Facebook conspiracy theory convened to experience itself in person. They're here to flex "ownership" of a national capital, to validate their own delusion that the government is taken over by foreign powers, to call for the literal murder of a political leader, and to goad each other into more and more obnoxious actions.

I use hledger-flow [1]. It's an opinionated way of importing csvs into the hledger format. Works really well for me, just export the csvs, write a mapping and you are good to go.

It supports preprocessing the csvs if you need to clean the data or compute some new fields which is really powerful. Once you are up and running it only needs some minor updates each month to map unidentifiable transactions I can do this in under an hour these days.

It's experimental because few of the developers (and few SBCL users) are on Windows, so it's possible more bugs slip through. Developing on Windows is terrible, so it's no surprise volunteers don't want to spend their time doing it.

FWIW, I've used SBCL on Windows, and never had any problems. I wasn't using CFFI, POSIX, threads, or things like that, so that probably helped.
1994 was just the only stat I could easily find, only trying to show the web was pretty small back then.

I don't think crypto is doing anything useful. It's been around long enough to have had important things (other than trading crypto tokens) built on it.

I just don't think most businesses saw the relevance of the internet in 1995, but it certainly grew fast and kept growing.

This would require universities to admit that people who aren't of European ancestry can also be racist. I'm betting we're going to see a serious effort on the left to start categorizing South Asians as white.
The site claims to combine the public and private healthcare costs. I guess these private practices would also be included in their figure, unless they are under the table or something like that.

On the other hand, the medical stats are generally tricky to parse, right? I guess most of the cost in the overall system comes from dealing with rare emergencies (such that most people won't encounter such an emergency during their lifetime) (I think this is the case, but it is just my gut talking, maybe someone can correct me). I guess the figure should will depend on how we price the availability of these emergency services, into the overall price. Or other sort of customer-service type things that aren't 100% related to just providing the best possible medical treatments. This seems more like an accounting thing to me. Also Americans are generally pretty unhealthy, so our costs will naturally be a bit high.

Which isn't to say I'm happy with the US system -- it clearly needs some improvement. I'm just not sure this 93.33% figure is why. I'm not sure we need to compare to Peru. It is unfortunate that the right in the US seems to have complete ownership of American Exceptionalism -- it ought to be possible to say "we're the most powerful and richest country ever, we should have exceptional healthcare."
Really happy to see this thread. Its pretty impressive and inspiring that these kinds of conversations happen at all in a community where it's not considered that big of a deal to make over 200k a year. Especially inspiring given how influential the developer community seems to be.

If historically strength means conquest and domination, weakness must mean being conquered and dominated yes?

"The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must".. this is observably true throughout history no?

In that case, why would a people/nation not want to be strong? Why would they not do what they can to ensure they are not conquered?

>"strong values" tend to imply conservative

Exactly. Then what is the appeal of not-strong values? How are these to be sold to people that don't want to be run over by the strong?

>People don't say that about radical social justice proponents doing sacrifices for their cause

Perhaps because they don't make the nation strong?

>it makes sense for it to be opposed to diversity.

Does being opposed to diversity enable your nation to be the conqueror or the conquered?

"in that context"... the context to which you agree is historically true?
Ask HN: Why does the Segway look so uncool?
I know this is a subjective thing, but I think it could spark a good discussion on UX.

When someone rides a segway they tend to not look cool, despite the fact that they're actually pretty fun to ride around. Contrast this with hoverboards which are generally cooler looking than a segway while still maintaining the same basic function. There's also other modes of transportation like bikes, roller blades, vehicles, and running that are generally seen as being cooler than riding a segway. One can definitely look uncool while using these other modes of transportation, but it's easier to look uncool on a segway than it is with any of those.

So I guess my question boils down to this: What design decisions are a part of the segway that make it so easy to look uncool when compared to other modes of transportation?

They don't seem to realize, nor care. I mean, my cable box's UI is horrendous. Icons that look like they were cut/pasted from a "Download Powerpoint Clipart" web page, complete with obvious aspect ratio bugs. 16x8 pixel bitmap fonts straight out of 1988, UI elements not centered, not padded/inset consistently, silly full-saturation colors (like someone literally picked 0xff0000, 0x00ff00, and 0x0000ff for their color palette), poorly translated error messages ("feature not invoke"), button presses take 1-3 seconds to take effect, channel changing takes 2 seconds. It's like a 15 year old's HelloWorldGUI project made it into production.

At some point during development, some non-software person at the subcontractor looked at the software, checked some checkboxes and said "Yup, this horrible thing our devs cobbled together in a frantic rush meets the minimum criteria that were spelled out in the contract we signed with TvManufacturer.

Thank you very much for the helpful hint. I will extend the FAQ accordingly.
Your criticism applies to the word "debt" in the traditional financial sense as well. If you want to be more specific about how much and how severe the debt is, that is not a fault of the the term "debt" or a reason to stop using it.

1) I owe $0.25 to my 5yro niece because I lost a bet about whether grandma's pancakes would be overcooked. She will probably forget about this as soon as Harry Potter comes on the TV.

2) I owe $50 to my housemate for groceries but actually I paid the electric bill and he didn't so maybe he owes me instead?

3) I have an $8000 balance on my credit card but can pay my minimum balance plus $500 extra every month with no sweat.

4) I have $500000 left on my mortgage and didn't make my last 5 payments...

These are all still "debt" and have varying degrees of actionability. A word that implies a dimension does not need to specify the magnitude or severity on that dimension.

This is your problem, or one of them. Stop judging people and seeing them as below you. Guess what — you may not be short or aged, but you are also lonely. Probably have more in common with them.

This attitude will poison you even if you meet "normal" people, you will find reasons to talk yourself out of meeting them.

A lot of towns used to have rail service with spur lines or short lines. A lot of those have been turned into bike or walking trails. Good luck ever getting those back to their original use; re-provisioning rail service to these places will mean acquiring and clearing new routes.

"Boring" is nice although my experience with Hugo is that it takes a nontrivial amount of effort to get it working in the first place, such that I couldn't use it for putting project documentation on github.io and definitely wouldn't call it "boring" in the sense used in the article. It is definitely a more complex scheme even if that complexity is front-loaded and you get to keep everything boring on the server and the client (with the exception of MathJax, for good reasons). (Aside: consider Katex!)

With Hugo, I ended up fighting with themes that wouldn't render correctly, and all the mess that is shortcodes. Shortcodes are nice in theory, but there should be a larger set of "standard" shortcodes that are expected to work across most themes (some nice subset of what Bootstrap gives you) and instead of custom syntax, it seems like you should be able to use standard HTML with custom tags.

Anyway... my experience with Hugo made me feel that I would even have an easier time wrangling a Wordpress installation. It's equally possible to archive a Wordpress site by taking a snapshot of the HTML, and I've done it, it's just that the "boring" web (as the author puts it) moves the failure points to your personal computer, rather than the server you run your site on.

Eh, a public key plus information about its validity (date, subject) is a certificate? So when you "pin" a key to a domain, you've effectively made a (non-standard) certificate that you explicitly trust?

Between you and me, and I think a reasonable person would identify you as the one preaching. I mentioned iron once and that was me doing my best to interact with your extreme position as reasonable and productively as I could possibly manage. But since you brought it up again, I'll take this time to mention that the population with the longest lifespan AND health-span in the world, are anemic as a rule (Japanese women).

> The issue with talking nutrition with people is that they think one size fits all and that the body and its digestion is a simple machine we have fully understood.

Anecdotes are worthless. Conditions get worse or better, for a variety of reasons and a sample size of one is statistically and scientifically worthless. It's nearly impossible to perform something like a double blind study on one's self, and even if you could make to bake out the bias, you still have sample size of 1. You may have found a system that you can live with, but the fact that you have concluded that an nearly all meat diet is the healthiest for you means either that you either aren't human or disagree with the vast majority of dietary scientific knowledge.

For what it's worth, I was on a keto diet for a number years and my approach to keto was a nearly all meat with moderate amounts of low carb vegetables. I did good on the diet as a rule and dropped weight as rock, but study after study has found that more meat equates more higher mortality and shorter health-span. I cut out a lot of the meat but continued to abstain from simple carbs and processes foods and now have given myself the best chance known to science to be healthy in terms of diet.

> Yes, people can thrive on a diet of Mars bars, but it's not that simple and doesn't work for everybody.

Also, nobody can thrive off a diet of mars bars, so I fail to see how that adds anything to your point. Are somehow trying equate eating only mars bars with eating a diet with fruits and vegetables? Eating a diet of all mars bars has a lot more in common with eating a diet of nearly all meat than it does eating a varied diet that includes significant portions of fruits and vegetables, in a extremely unbalanced diet sense.

> And I'd be more worried about heavy metals on a pescatarian diet than any other diet, vegan or otherwise.

You are consuming more heavy metals than I am with your daily meat intake than I am with my monthly fish. And antibiotics, dioxins, copper, arsenic, and many other adulterants that end up concentrated in factory farmed meats. So if you are worried about heavy metals, I would be worried.
I have to agree that. In some ways, there is more socialization in a small town than in a large city. The threshold for "having enough in common" is lowered to "we both live here". In a city, people often interact less with others in absolute terms because there are so many people and talking to any one person over another seems arbitrary.
