> You know what other vaccines do? THEY PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING THE DISEASE!

That's just an absurd claim. Even our best vaccines don't guarantee that, and some of them can even give you the disease. The flu shot has 50% efficacy in a good year.

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/polio-cases-now-caus...

"More polio cases now caused by vaccine than by wild virus... In rare cases, the live virus in oral polio vaccine can mutate into a form capable of sparking new outbreaks. All the current vaccine-derived polio cases have been sparked by a Type 2 virus contained in the vaccine. Type 2 wild virus was eliminated years ago."

https://www.cdc.gov/cpr/polioviruscontainment/diseaseandviru...

"IPV does not stop transmission of the virus. OPV is used wherever a polio outbreak needs to be contained, even in countries which rely exclusively on IPV for their routine immunization program."

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/mmr/public/index.html

"Two doses of MMR vaccine are 97% effective against measles and 88% effective against mumps... MMR is an attenuated (weakened) live virus vaccine. This means that after injection, the viruses cause a harmless infection in the vaccinated person with very few, if any, symptoms before they are eliminated from the body. The person’s immune system fights the infection caused by these weakened viruses, and immunity (the body’s protection from the virus) develops."
Waiting for capitalists to clean up their mess is a losing strategy. Change is almost universally a grassroots thing. Get enough people to put things in their proper place, and people leaving them there will get the message. I've seen this work at all scales. Model the society you want to live in and it will catch on, at least a little.

I did sneaky shit to get around my parents' rules when I was a kid, most people here probably did. To some degree kids need to learn how to push boundaries, for everything else device related there's MDM[1].

There are MDM solutions that are specifically for parenting.

i agree, docker added version control, online repository, with management, and search they also fixed some of the networking headaches in lxc. Prior to developing containerd docker was based on lxc containers.
That's hilarious, but I'll stick with the 1970s tech and 2000s memes.
The general observation from most long-term clinical studies of obesity, as far as I understand, is that many types of diets work to reduce weight in the short term, but the weight almost invariably comes back after the intervention period ends (usually within 1 year or so after the initial weight loss). Conversely, people who are normal weight and are forced on a hyper-caloric diet for a limited time (say, a few weeks) will gain weight as expected, but will naturally lose it back over the next period without explicit effort.

This has generally been treated as a lifestyle issue, but another possibility gaining traction is that "obesity" is a disease in itself, one that tricks your organism is seeking to maintain excessive weight, by impacting your appetite, BMR, exercise habits etc; this will of course usually make people suffering from "obesity" (for lack of a better name) over-weight, but the weight can be controlled without curing the disease. Basically losing weight doesn't cure your "obesity", just like when you suffer of diabetes, controlling your diet keeps you healthy without curing your diabetes.

The possible causes of this "obesity" disease could well be diet related, and definitely refined sugars seem to be at least a major culprit.

There are more types. You can buy an entry to a specific market. You can buy users. You can buy to prevent your competitors move to buy.
Increasing global energy output isn't a negative, provided that energy output is clean energy. In fact, developing our ability to produce and use energy is virtually synonymous with the development of human civilization.
Actually me and my wife are both 6 figure earners. I used a common example for young couples where the wife normally earns half if not less than their partner. And while there was a time in my life this was the case, my wife makes close to what I make. And we love each other. But with kids and day to day activities, there isn't enough time in the day. You'd be surprised how much you don't even feel the need for sex when you have so much other enjoyment in life.

Between us working hard so we can retire early in life, we could stop working at the age of 45 if we wanted and our investments would still grow while living off them, I have plenty of enjoyment at home after work. I love cooking, I love engineering and wooding in my shop, I love playing video games, I love programming small little gadgets, I love to learn. Hell I even love to catch up on a TV show with the Wife, or play some Mario Party as a family.

We're in bed by 10 most nights, and I'm up before 6. Me and the Wife don't need to have sex every night. Sure that was a thing years ago, but 15 years in once a week makes up happy.

I get more enjoyment teaching my daughter how to design and build something from start to finish, or playing some Minecraft with my Boys. Making Something for dinner we've never had, etc. My priorates are in the correct space.
Solid rockets don't really have that problem in the same way. The instability happens in the thrust charmer of a liquid engine resulting from non-uniform burning. The chamber is not very big if you compare it to the size of the tank. Once you press that non-uniform hot gas threw the neck out into the nozzle the expansion happening in the nozzle also expands those imbalances. So you can end up with different pressure pressure in different part of the nozzle leading to vibration and potentially the nozzle ripping itself into pieces.

Solids rocket are like a candle with a hole threw it. They burn inside out, not from the button to the top. So there is not really a thrust chamber in the same way. A channel goes from buttom to the top inside the booster. So the 'thrust chamber' is essentially the hole length of the booster. And all that material gets pushed down in the direction of the nozzle.

I have never heard any rocket engineer explicitly explain this, but my assumption is that on the way down when everything is pushed threw the neck the gas has time to mix enough so that the instabilities are not that large anymore. I also think the pressure is lower in a solid.

Solids have higher thrust but lower efficiency. The thrust comes from the fact that in the solid fuel mix there is lots of other stuff that need to form the solid. Heavier elements that don't participate in burning (thus less efficient) but add thrust.

Solids also have the draw back of being incredibly loud and having massive vibrations.

Solids also can have 'stability' problems as in that if they are not correctly manufactured, they might not burn uniformly and that can lead to a whole lot of problems and additional vibrations too.

Almost no new rocket company uses solids. Its far to expensive and operationally dangerous. At best you can reuse some outer shell, but not the expensive part.
I wish Linus good luck, but I have a suspicion that it won't be like Anandtech. May be I am biased by the image of Linus and his crowd. I watched the Labs pitch, and it is very gamer oriented.

I've been reading Anandtech for ~20 years. It has stayed virtually the same [1]. Linus has turned his venture into a giant media and entertainment house. I hope LTT labs is completely different but it is hard to imagine it given Linus' vision and business interests.

[1] This aspect is basically unheard of these days. Hard to find anything that stayed the same ~20 years, they refined their vision instead of slowly destroying it.
Interestingly, what the adage left out, is the qualities. People don't just want a hole, without qualification. They want a hole that's reliably uniform (smooth bore, sharp edge), quick and easy to produce, and cost effective.

If Rust can avoid more errors with nearly the same performance profile (and control) offered by C, it's an improvement. The Hole purpose is to be a better low level language.

With these scooters, bicycles, mopeds for rent; and delivery robots it's also a form of not very nice but justifiable resistance in lieu of better ways.

Remember the sudden onslaught of Chinese app-rentable bicycles in cities around the world a few years back? Near useless pieces of unrepairable plastic, steel, and rubber clogging up the pavement (sidewalk) because technically this was not illegal. Several companies competing in a race to become the biggest one in any given city. In many cases it ended after new legislation and citizens demanding action; often spurred on by activists using the same fuck-you tactics these companies used to put them everywhere, but in reverse (often by means of gently chucking them in a canal).

Putting stuff for rent all over public space or abusing the commons otherwise with the explicit aim of first becoming the dominant party in a mad gold rush, and only then negotiate about rules and limits afterwards is quite antisocial too. Responding tit-for-tat is not classy, but some people feel they have little recourse, especially if municipalities are (at first) taken in by the greenwashing ideals of some of these companies.
One thing I have noticed is that (prior to the pandemic) new positions in my geographic area were almost always limited to the kind of roles that could be successfully handled by programmers with 3-5 years of experience. There simply weren't many higher-level roles available.

I'm in a standard tech area outside of Silicon Valley - plenty of standard enterprise Java jobs with a slightly smaller number of C# positions. My experience here has been that I seem to be able to make lateral moves into similar jobs that don't particularly offer more technical or career growth.

This relates back to your original comment about not seeing correlation to gains in output and skill versus experience in years 12-15 for working engineers. Most job roles in my area simply don't require more output or skill than a software developer gains in those first 3-5 years.

I would guess that for people who do observed a significant correlation in growth in output and skill over those longer years of experience are biased by seeing engineers who were in positions that required growth in output and skill.

Another weird effect (at least in my group - which tends to have long tenured employees - I've been here 12 years) is that I see engineers get stuck in specific responsibilities centered around institutional knowledge. For example, being the devops type for three legacy systems that will exist forever. If a new need comes up, my group seems to prefer hiring a totally new person to own that new project. We have actually lost a couple of employees who (rightly) were frustrated by not being able to get off of legacy support projects. These are the programmers with 20 years of experience but really have that initial 3-5 years plus the same year of experience * 15.

In my case, I had personal reasons for staying in the area and have had to manage my own tech growth. Typically by side study and programming. Some of this has led to new work in the day job but I realize I traded career growth that I would have very much enjoyed for stability. I have also have enjoyed a tremendous amount of flexibility, some autonomy in choosing dev stacks, and collaborating with medical researchers.
> Problem with that is that if you do "winget upgrade --all" it will upgrade all your programs even those that you don't want to upgrade. The alternative is simply upgrading one by one.

Well, TBF, that's exactly what "winget upgrade --all" sounds like it should do.
This is fun, but I do get the sense this is another iteration of "Persom who is an expert in X thinks its important for everyone to know more about X", where X can be basically any field.

FBI to Launch Crypto Crimefighting Unit
All of your points are valid. But here is the catch which many ICs might not realize. There are far more management positions than pure ICs. It's the unfortunate that you be disadvantaged if you stick to strict ICs path. The competition is also fierce. The talented ICs are so far above the rest (the 10x/100x engineers).

It's a simple supply and demand problem. The company needs a lot more of above average managers/hybrids. It's not good for average ICs to stuck to their little world if they want better promotions.
Japanese drug prosecution is about as strict as American child porn prosecution, with the same para-judicial stigma about possession of it. If you are caught with drugs in Japan, you are going to be doing hard time, and even when you get out of jail people will not want to associate with you. In the rare case where the police prosecute you without evidence, you're still going to wind up spending months in a holding cell waiting for exoneration, and have to explain to everyone in the meantime that you were falsely accused of drug possession.

(The inverse is also true: Japan is rather lax about CSAM possession, about to the same degree as America is lax about weed possession. It's technically a crime but most people caught will be let off with a fine and a warning.)

FWIW I do the same thing but with docker.

Exposing the docker daemon on the network and setting DOCKER_HOST I’m able to use the remote machine as if it was local.

It’s hugely beneficial, I’ve considered making mini buildfarms that load balance this connection in a deterministic way.
Some of us find it very, very hard to have healthy online habits. I know many here don't like the idea of internet addiction, but at this point I am convinced it's a real thing and for some people the only solution is abstinence.
Yes. That was something I wanted to write in the 15 years of HN thread but then decided to left it out. I was thinking if there are any site that I have been visiting for more than 15 years. And Anantech is the only one. I stopped reading The Register and Tomshardware a long time ago.

I dont mind LTT, the problem is just it is way too dumbed down. It is part of the reason why Hardware discussions, even on HN is pretty average to say the least.

May be people just dont like reading long and detail review but instead only want short form video.

> Imagine if you think there's a 50/50 chance she'll completely destroy your life on social media, rather than just say "no thanks".

It's really not a thing. This one is just stupid. This time of thinking is OCD level anxiety of about unrealistic outcomes.

> In my mid-30s I ran through a spate of recent divorcees who all had almost exactly the same complaint. Their husband of 10 years hadn't slept with them in 5+ years, and was always in the basement playing video games or watching porn. Which he didn't want to watch with her. Two of them - totally separately - told me they would dress up in lingere and go to the basement and the husband would say he was too tired. A third said she felt "unfuckable" and started crying recounting it. (I said, oh no! You're totally fuckable! I also said, I would never play a video game rather than lay in bed with you. And it was like... holy shit) This is literally what's going on.

As a late 20's, moderately sexed, east coaster, the quote here is weird, dude. Both the content and the fact that it's being shared at all. People being depressed and having low sex drives and maybe just not liking their wives is bad and definitely a thing. Guys who can't comprehend not prioritizing sex as the top item at all times is also weird. I don't have interest in fucking more than maybe 3 times per week on a good week. Other than that and I would almost certainly prefer playing a game with my wife.
For the Swiss market
I thought the majority of old school fans hated the BH/KJA sequels?
I feel it. Sometimes it gets terrible, the reflexive pulling up the Internet just to see what's out there. And I can feel what it does to my mind. When it gets really bad, I'll find myself pulling out my phone when I'm sitting on the toilet, when I'm sitting at the table eating, sitting in the hot tub. And of course sometimes at night in bed, if I wake up. Or even during work, to distract from some bit of unpleasant (but paid...) activity I should be doing.

Yes, this is all somewhat of a reflection on my inability to push it away. I get quite angry at myself sometimes when my control slips and I feel hours of my day slipping into the void.

But my professional life depends on Internet access. So I can't just put it down and walk away. I've considered blocking HN on my router, sometimes ;-).

I agree, but right now it feels like the scooter companies have decided it's easier to inconvenience pedestrians than to ally with us and fight car culture.

I'm a huge fan of the idea of plentiful, cheap scooters for short trips, and was excited to have a new cohort of people who would want more safe bike (and scooter) routes. Alas, as much as I love the concept, I've developed a strong dislike for the companies.

I've little doubt that they could dramatically reduce the amount of improper scooter parking, but it would involve punishing their customers, and that would hurt their growth in the short term, for the unimportant benefit of avoiding crushing regulatory responses on the long term.

We didn't choose for them to be our enemies. We were natural allies. But they decided they'd fight us than have to combat the real problem.
So does dragging around all the accessories that you "need" to plug into your laptop.

2. I want a laptop.
I have to say, watching the 2022 Winter Olympics using the Peacock app has been awesome. Being able to watch the events I want to watch, as opposed to being forced to watch the events broadcast producers decided to air has been great. Not being forced to watch background pieces has also been great. Being able to choose whether to watch the live event, or watching it later when I have time, has also been great.

It's basically what I always wanted when spectating the Olympics. I can choose to watch the practice runs for the alpine downhill. Somebody else, in the same house even, can watch figure skating for days. It's like we're living in the future!

I don't imagine that would help. Most of these scooter companies already do some sort of education regarding traffic laws... but when was the last time you saw a person on a scooter, stopped at a red light, wearing a helmet?

The only way it'll be fixed is if someone actually enforces compliance.

> When it comes to your kids, everyone should want to set them up for life.

Sure, but there are things that kids need a lot more than money. Like a parent who is present and enjoys life, not always working and always exhausted. Also, kids are profoundly affected by the level of warmth or intimacy between their parents. If you feel too tired to enjoy sex with your wife, it is probably leaking into other areas as well.
If you eat a lot of similar stuff, after looking up things periodically over time you'll get to be able to ballpark calorie counts. Calories aren't really hidden that well.
Admittedly I don't have any experience with this sort of thing, but I have always read it as; Microsoft want his work, they should have just paid him X million for it, or paid him to keep working on it.

Instead, they made it into some sort of interview, got all of his input then went off and copy-paste'd the code (an exaggeration) into WinGet and ghosted him.

To add insult to injury he got a nice little "fuck you" the day before they released it.
I've been thinking of building an HN clone for politics and society. The requirement to post would be an account of the same name on HN, validated through something like a code on your profile, and only for users above a certain karma threshold.

It basically outsourced the work of making sure users are of decent tech savviness and good faith.
I think you underestimate the number of people who are careless and inconsiderate. Or maybe you live in a very nice part of town. I sometimes get stuck doing 8 things on the way to do a thing I intended to do, because I see a thoughtless thing and cannot help myself from fixing it. It's important to higher functioning to be able to look at a thing wrong and say "not my job to fix it!" without guilt.
Ask HN: How to overcome salary ceiling?
Let’s say you’re an experienced engineer/team-lead/architect and you’re on a mission to constantly grow professionally.

But there’s always some current market salary bracket for whatever your position is.

And this bracket tends to grow much slower than expertise of most of the senior talents i know.

How do you manage to get salary growth rate same as your skill growth rate to stay motivated?

Is there any scalable solution except faang rat race?
And why would that be? That's a strong claim that's completely unsupported.

Personally I disagree.
