Neil Postman:

"I will use technology when I judge it to be in my favor to do so. I resist being used by it. In some cases I may have a moral objection. But in most instances, my objection is practical, and reason tells me to measure the results from that point of view. Reason also advises me to urge others to do the same. An example: When I began teaching at NYU, the available instruments of thought and teaching were primitive. Faculty and students could talk, could read, and could write. Their writing was done the way I am writing this chapter—with a pen and pad. Some used a typewriter, but it was not required. Conversations were almost always about ideas, rarely about the technologies used to communicate. After all, what can you say, except that you've run out of ink? I do remember a conversation about whether a yellow pad was better than a white pad. But it was inconclusive."

Have you considered using hosts that come with more free / unlimited bandwidth?
> The reason is that the more you try to vaccinate the entire population, the more cases of cvdpv2 you cause. Until you hit that magic 100% you cause more harm than you prevent.

This makes little sense if you understand that both wpv2 and cvdpv2 were eliminated in the poorest regions of the world using OPV2. If what you claim is true, elimination would have been impossible, you would simply replace wpv2 with cvdpv2, since any attempt at eradication would seed new cvdpv2 cases.

Inactivated injectable vaccine, which does not boost herd immunity, is inefective in these countries with limited health systems.

> And in fact that people running this campaign noticed this and stopped vaccinating with opv2! (Which perhaps you did not know.)

Perhaps you refer to the global coordinated action to move from trivalent vaccine to bivalent (wpv1+ wpv3) in 2016 after the wild type 2 virus was certified as eradicated. But monovalent OPV2 was still being used recently to target specific areas where cvdpv2 is endemic. It makes little sense to use it elsewhere and seed cvdpv2.
Some medications are not renewed like this for good reason.

Some medications require regular monitoring to ensure that bad side effects aren't happening; PrEP requires checkups every 90 days to make sure kidney function is not getting impacted.

Ask HN: What do you believe is the future of web frameworks?
I’ve been a dev for a few years so definitely not as experienced as some of you.

I switched companies sometime ago. The first place was a rails shop and I loved rails. But then I switched to a shop that uses hasura + netlify and I just can’t see a reason why to never use this pair for CRUD apps.

I imagine we will see more frameworks based around east deployment of serverless functions and edge compute for backend tasks. I think the frontend side is being to mature and react/others are here to stay for a long while. But I’d like to hear thoughts from more experienced people.
Editor here, we are very aware of Betteridge’s law
So is the narrative that Trump secretly orchestrated the Jan 6th activities at the US capitol building, but we'll never know because he had unorthodox phone habits?
Sounds like something that only impacts rich people (aka almost no one).

Also I’m not sure that “censor” means what you think it means.
Any time you bring up ESR as a positive figure , you lose. Something to consider. Even OSI banned him from their mailing lists, although way too late.
>The only way to future-proof your code so that it will continue to give currently correct results no matter what rule changes are made is always to persist data as timestamptz values and to let the system—kept current with the tz database—work its magic according to the rules that it presently embodies.

Key take away IMO
You're right, I should've said EV has to be 10x higher, not probability of success. That said, in my experience it's much more common to de-risk a business by an order of magnitude than to 10x the market size.
> can be logged in great detail for people of interest if nothing else.

That’s the key part: this is very different than all activity being routinely logged. Most of us never need to worry about this and someone in a hypothetical situation like you describe is presumably not a person of interest until afterwards, where that public blockchain history is a risk for the rest of their life.

Similarly:

> It also avoids the major risks of having to meet in person to transact as with cash.

This wouldn’t matter in your hypothetical scenario where physical goods need to be exchanged.

Again, my point is that this comes down to the marketing push. Even if the system works as planned, the number of people who made other opsec mistakes is high enough that in practice cash is not less safe.
That's fine but many don't require it for good reason, thus should be exempted.

People can easily seek out prescriptions as it is today, they just need to find a doctor and say the right things. This is common with TRT, Modafinil, Cannabis etc the barrier as it exists today is mostly artificial.

We allow people to drink alcohol, so any drug less dangerous than that shouldn't be gated
agreed; it's all scams at every level, it's just that the pro-crypto people are the scammers or they are enthusiasts who haven't been scammed, yet.

stay away from all of it.
But if they’re going to ask the question anyway, what’s so hard about just typing “Hi,…” then ask whatever rambling or imprecise thing they’re going to say before hitting enter? No one is requiring it to be concise; it’s just that they got our attention with the “Hi” and now we’re waiting five minutes for the question to be asked, instead of the question, in whatever form, appearing without the preliminaries.
Re: Eisenhower quote -- this is what I meant in the original comment too. It's less about the details of the plan and more about understanding how someone is thinking about the plan.

> I'd think it would instead be a great exercise to do with a candidate after the first few meetings

We're on the same page here, too. If we ask for a financial plan it's usually after a meeting or two, not as a filter for whether to take a first meeting.
“Hydrogen could play a role in EV-charging infrastructure, especially in remote or delicate areas where wise policy would avoid generators, power lines and substations.”
Good point.
But I would go further and say that charging millions of battery cars (as we have envisioned) is not feasible even in our cities -- under our current electric grid architecture. This is so no matter how good or cheap battery cars might get -- or how quickly they can recharge. In the end, all battery cars need to tap into the electric grid. To make this possible, we can either redo our grid or supplement it throughout with power generators.
The power generators can run on fuel oil or on natural gas. Or they can run on hydrogen. If they run on fuel oil or natural gas, the benefit of having battery cars is defeated. If the power generators run on hydrogen, they will need to be refueled -- which means we must put a hydrogen infrastructure in place to do so. But if we are going to have a hydrogen infrastructure to refuel hydrogen generators to charge battery cars, why not use the same infrastructure to refuel hydrogen cars and trucks to use the hydrogen directly?
So hospitals and drug companies in the US are operating at peak efficiency without bilking anyone unnecessarily and yet a huge variety of procedures are more expensive than in the rest of the developed world.

That definitely passes a smell test.
Truecrypt lives on as Veracrypt
That ended up as a plot point in The Wire.

I've never researched it, it's too good to prove wrong. It does seem pretty plausible though, the cops and/or judge that ordered monitoring it would be pretty annoyed if it got cut off.

That is an overly broad definition of freedom. Surely there are some actions which can be prohibited (e.g. murder, scam robocalls, and trying to get kids hooked on drugs) in a free society.

This seems like something that could be accomplished entirely client-side, without incurring bandwidth costs to the server.

Or am I missing something about how this service works?
isn't forcing hospitals to post prices a form of regulation? In a free market (I'm interpreting this to mean laissez-faire - a market setup maximise competition and consumer choice must be regulated) nobody will post prices unless they have to or the procedures are elective, like plastic surgery is.
Then search engine crawlers should get paywalled too.

The motivation is correct. You run a search on google and get mostly paywalled content. I'm fine with news sites requiring subscriptions to view their articles but they shouldn't also get the benefit of being listed at the top of search results for key terms.

Alternatively, the search list should show if content is paywalled or give you search options to remove paywalled content.

A great use-case for stablecoins since the banks, payment processors have to block payments to sanctioned countries - so bank transfer, card, etc are useless for them.

However, it seems that this is at risk of being shut down since it is using a centralized exchange to send and receive these coins.
It’s hard for me to understand how holding people to account for sponsoring genocides means holding them to an impossible standard of moral purity. This strikes me as a straw man.

Interesting article, I will go out on a limb and say that the demonization of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin has been one of the most egregious travesties of our lifetime. For those of you who find that opinion offensive, I think there will be a day when you will come to realize you were woefully mislead.
Releasing GMO chestnuts will contaminant the gene pool forever, it's a bad idea.

Two things about the American chestnut are relevant:
1) the percentage of forest it occupied is widely overstated, seemingly due to exageration thru retelling of the story. It was usually a top ten tree at most sites, far from the numbers you usually see in articles. The these numbers are from ideal sites for its colonization or areas where it was planted by humans. This is widely known and studied, but people who write about it to lay audiences tend to use exaggerated figures out of context.

2) many specimens survived the blight due to partial resistance, not all were wiped out.

All we need to do is wait and they'll do just fine. Even a traditional breeding program would work in a few generations, there's really no good reason to rush this stuff.
I would not call it condescending.

Frankly, I hold a few roles and have for years. Some of those involve flat out making stuff, wielding tools, taking a shower at the end of the day type stuff. Others are business, development, some engineering electronics, software.

For me, the variety is good, and it reflects how I came up in rural America, where basically you learned how to fix your own car, help on the farm, do what it takes because few had the money to spend to solve problems. And no judgement on those who have that. I have that today. It's just that I didn't then, and the skills came along with the scene.

I'm writing this because there are plenty of times where I look for something I'm not currently doing, or involved with. The reasons vary too:

Less stress

More structure

Right now: less liability / risk though I expect a reward for that happening

More people

Less people

No people.

Any of us, whether we are in construction, software, electronics, plumbing, mechanics, all reach a point where we can nail it. If we are lucky, we are exposed to a few different disciplines and can reach that point a few times in our lives.

If anything, I would call said "pining" boredom, or seeking perspective of some kind, just a change up, if nothing else.

Personally, I feel that is OK, and encourage it in my peers, help them where I can.

I'd be fine with that if they didn't let search engines crawl their content. If they want to be on the web, they have to play by the rules of the web. Instead what they want is to reap the benefits of the web while refusing to participate in the open web.
Yes, I'm not advocating a free market, but a competitive market.

Fully free markets can lead to negative externalities like monopolies, pollution etc.

What leads to good societal outcomes is competitive markets. It just happens that free and competitive overlap a lot of the time. Information hiding makes a market less competitive, but is permitted under a full free market mentality. This is an area where regulations are warranted and useful.

Competitive capitalism should be the goal for most areas in modern society. Which in almost all cases only requires light regulation.
Correct me if I’m wrong but at a photon’s scale a human is mostly empty space.
I'm not following your logic here. The Economist wants to charge readers because they produce high quality content that's worth paying for (in their estimation). This seems entirely orthogonal to whether they blacklist a web crawler - a crawler they didn't even ask for, which would be all over their website whether they want it or not.

I think you're confused because the crawler and the browser both use the same channel and the same protocols to access the information (the website over HTTP). But that's just a detail. Google could send them a hand written form for them to fill out with details of each of their articles and some thumbnail images to be manually entered into a Google database for all we care.

This is true and one of the key reasons for GDPR. The cost for keeping data beyond the legitimate use needs to be increased.

Yep, while out on the hills I met a feral bull grazing on the only track around the impassable gorge.

i recall looking over the occupancy numbers for the temporary hospitals and hospital ships deployed as a response to the 2020 outbreaks in the UK and US, and they were mostly empty. sadly i cannot find that info now so i guess i'll just have to shrug about it. and i assume "took all the place in many hospitals and healthcare systems" is an exaggeration. i would still have to assert the health care costs to society of obesity and smoking are comparable to the costs of acute covid surges though.
Of course people spend less after retirement. If you don't have enough in savings (and most Americans do not), that is basically a forgone conclusion.

I've dealt with companies like this, and they're the absolute worst. The worst thing about getting a legal threat is that you don't know if it's from a real lawyer or is just a shakedown made to look like it's from a lawyer. This usually means having to pay my own lawyer to review the threat and tell me if I need to respond, so even if it's "fake" it costs me time and legal fees.

Depends on how you define it. We all certainly leave much more of a paper trail.

My dad and I spoke about this a few years ago. When we lived in NYC I used to go to work with him for a week or two in the summer. The only evidence recorded of that was my name on the visitor log taken by the receptionist.

That visit today is almost certainly auditable. The subway trip is via payment card, and our entry in and out of stations are almost certainly captured by MTA and NYPD cameras. Street surveillance is pervasive in Manhattan from any number of entities. The NYPD network has facial recognition capability.

Entry into the building is logged by swipe card, every time you go pee in the bathroom in the public area, there’s often a badge swipe.

So are we less free? I don’t know. We’re more watched. But then again talking to my cousins on the phone in California was a major family event. And my dad would have to dodge out of work to take out cash for the weekend. A few weeks ago we took a long weekend in Florida with 4 hours notice and travelled without luggage.
Ok; personally knew Alex. I think there is a lack of understanding here. Yes maybe you can get some drugs cheaper at Walmart, but certainly not all “generic” drugs. Once a drug is outside patent protection, others can manufacture it but you have to show equivalence, which can require samples from the original or existing manufacturers, who can and have tightly controlled distribution to make it very challenging to get approval. Couple that with the risk of an existing manufacturer just dropping the price to eliminate any potential profit and you can see how some drugs can get into the place where there is only one source that can raise their prices as they see fit. I believe the idea here is they will eventually manufacture or source those drugs that are patent unencumbered but sole source.
Yes, the system is terribly imperfect (both a physician and a chemical engineer here). Yes, it doesn’t sound like this is a charity. But expecting that the walls of regulatory capture to just fall down because it would better for all of us is just wishful thinking. Let’s save our criticism for those raising the prices of epi-pens and what not year over year. I think the criticism here is misplaced - the company was incorporated with a public mission in mind, and they seem to be moving into manufacturing; it wouldn’t make much sense to make something that can already be sold at Walmart for $4. Let’s see how it goes and wish them the best.

They're just showing you Google cache? Like.. what you can get by putting `cache:` in front of a URL in chrome? (Or using an extension in Firefox?).

So, this site gives you access to the same thing by putting `12ft.io/ ` in front of the URL instead of, say, `cache:`? Is there something more to it? That... seems like an interesting thing to ask people to pay for.
