The pandemic was predicted many years in advance, by many people:
https://www.businessinsider.com/people-who-seemingly-predict...

The fact it was a coronavirus coming over from animals was also highly predictable, given SARS and MERS. There is a fantastic book called Spillover by David Quammen which lays all this out and explains why it was virtually guaranteed to happen.

> always shipped a high-quality charger and headphones with the iPhone, something which started with its ancestor the iPod.

Phones with proprietary connectors always shipped with chargers. Probably most micro USB phones as well. Apple was not special in this regard.

Likewise with earbuds, many phones, smart and dumb, also shipped with earbuds or a headset. Apple was leveraging the iPod name to sell the iPhone so omitting earbuds would have been conspicuous.
The size of the spacebar on a standard keyboard takes up the space of 6 keys; but people will push the spacebar in the same place. It's nicer for the thumb to be able to access more keys, and nicer to not need to rely on the pinky finger for so many keys.

I think most keyboards which give the thumb more keys also follow this trend of taking away the numpad, F-keys, arrows; often even the number-row as well. (Maybe just my bias, but I think most keyboards with more thumbkeys are symmetrical, too).

While there's a trade-off "moving hand to a greater number of keys" against "complexity, like layering".. I think the small keyboards make more efficient use of the hands compared to standard keyboards. -- My guess is that people who try designs with more thumb keys then think layering is pretty neat.

Ivermectin isn't popular because of Joe Rogan and he hasn't especially promoted it.

At the time that Rogan did have the episode with Dr Kory and Bret Weinstein, Ivermectin was already very popular and he hasn't been promoting it since (yes, he may have had a guest or two that brought it up during the conversation, but it was peripheral).

The media had a collective freakout because when he got Covid he mentioned on Instagram a laundry list of medicines he's taking and Ivermectin (the human form) was among them.

Blaming him or Spotify for all of society's ills is just an attempt to prevent dissent on mainstream discourse.

Note that while CTR_DRBG is totally different from the similar-sounding Dual_EC_DRBG (which is widely suspected of being backdoored), CTR_DRBG has some flaws (being a counter-based design) that allows insecure or secure-but-lower-than-expected-randomness depending on the symmetric cipher used. It seems that it uses AES-256, but depending on whether it takes 224 or 256 bytes of output per round is not discussed on the document (counterintuitively, taking only 224 bytes is slightly more secure than taking the whole 256 bytes).

Edit: re-reading the document, it seems to imply (considering the buffer size) that the output they are using is 128 bytes.

> Non technical people don’t need most of those keys

But... if you're non-technical, then considering you may encounter a situation where you need to use the keys (e.g. "press ctrl+alt+delete"), choosing a keyboard where it's more complicated to press those keys seems a weird choice.

I think the people who opt for small keyboards are more likely to be keyboard-enthusiastic, and go for e.g. vim or emacs as their main text editors.
> If everyone does this, it creates a recession.

If everyone suddenly switches from low-savings to high-savings, yes, that may happen. But if everyone consistently has a not-low savings rate, then that is the 'baseline' that the economy will base its production on. It's the sudden changes that can cause problems and not necessarily the/a steady state.

Even sudden changes up can cause problems, as we've learn with supply chains when everyone switched from buying services (going out) to buying goods during the lockdown(s).

Of course 'just save more' isn't an answer for some people, as the author's coworker observed:

> But if the amount of money is the same, the bids per piece of stuff should go up. Because there is the same amount of money bidding on fewer things. So the industry should still make the same amount of money.

That’s not how it works, so your premise is flawed.

Even if it is how it works, that’s not directly related to the stock market, because stock market valuations are speculative based on future earnings, not present earnings. Earning less money is not a prerequisite to a reduced stock valuation; often, growing slower than previously anticipated is enough.

The move to USB-C chargers did not "necessitate an additional purchase". All the decade-old chargers and cables still work fine.

None of your points make any sense, actually. It's not true that nobody other than Apple gained financial benefits, not that anyone should expect otherwise when a company sells a product, really.
Don't forget to look back in time to 1980s USA.
Yes. Before the iPhone, the only smartphones anyone really had were Blackberrys. And those weren't "slabs of glass".
I'm still upset about the 3.5mm headphone jack to be honest.

I'm still upset† about the 30-pin connector. I can no longer stick my iPhone into the slot on the top of my clock radio just so trillion-dollar Apple can lock me into its 30% walled accessories garden that prevents me from doing what I want with my own hardware that I paid for and have no other options. (Did I miss any HN clichés?)

(I'm actually slightly upset† about the iPhone not coming with a cleaning cloth anymore. I've been using my original one for 15 years, and it's starting to get worn out.)

† For varying definitions of "upset."
You also seem confused. Yes, some people are interested in Ivermectin as a protease inhibitor. But the reason the de-wormer came to prominence in the first place was because some lower quality studies found it has a positive effect on COVID-19 outcomes. The most famous study in this collection came out of Brazil. But the reason that study found a positive impact from Ivermectin is that parasites are a harmful COVID co-morbidity, Ivermectin effectively treats parasites, and a lot of people in Brazil are afflicted with parasites.
It looks like the source of your mistake is missing that while the active ingredient is the same, the formulations differ both due to size and variation in how the body handles the drug. For example, differences in bioavailability or the liver’s effectiveness breaking it down affect the choices about dosage and what other compounds are used to encourage uptake, make absorption faster or slower, etc. This is why you’ll often see species-specific warnings on veterinary medication since they don’t want you assuming that you can give one of your pets the same thing you got for a different one without checking.
There is also the non-inflation adjusted line there. Nevermind. I think I can tell you're not really interested in having your opinion changed lol
The argument there is:

Not that something truly in the public domain is not open source.
s/to/tu
Your first paragraph is a wild guess. There’s no reason having parasites should make Covid-19 more severe, and many human parasites do not even multiply inside the body during their life cycle.

In fact there’s even a paper floating around showing an anti-correlation between helminth infection and Covid-19 severity.

My point being: the “obvious” mechanism of action may not be as obvious as you think.
They didn’t need to play this smarter. The amount of people who switched away from iPhone as a result of this move hasn’t cost them more than the billions in profit mentioned in the headline.
My issue with this viewpoint is, it’s survivor bias in its purest form.

We try our best to learn from history, and I think we can reasonably accept that the tradition that got perpetuated up until now might not be optimal, and is only “wisdom” until it’s widely proven wrong. Problem is, it can take centuries to finally accept that it was wrong (and boy do we have deeply wrong views of the world and humans, that took centuries to prove wrong, and we’re not there yet)

That’s why I’m not fond of labelling tradition as “wisdom” when we should keep a critical view of it, and be open to chalenge these at any situation where it matters to not screw it.
If you have fog or dew, you can just use a fog net: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_collection https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2011/03/07/the-fog-collect...

These are mentioned in Table 1 of the Nature article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03900-w.pdf

In coastal California, redwood trees have been doing this since the Jurassic.

In the conditions you describe, fog nets commonly yield 2–3 ℓ/m²/day of water (20–30 nm/second), though experimental projects have reached yields over 13 ℓ/m²/day (150 nm/s): https://www.oas.org/dsd/publications/unit/oea59e/ch12.htm

Fog nets are easier to make and easier to repair, and consequently enormously cheaper. This makes them practical not only for drinking water but even for irrigation. They are more tolerant of damage, though they do need yearly maintenance. But they don't work on days without dew, and in some places, that's nearly all days.

> Better to purchase durable goods (save real value, not shared delusion of money)

I don't understand what you mean by it being better to purchase durable goods. Do you mean things like appliances and vehicles? Those things depreciate.

Saving, and investing in stocks (diversified) has been a better move historically than just about anything else you could passively do with your money.

> I heavily disagree with the focus on car infrastructure and the extreme amount of billions I consider largely misallocated. Does that give me the right to inject my politics into traffic signaling software?

I think I agree with you in some ways, but this is an odd example to give of something that’s not politicized. The prioritization of who gets protection in a light cycle, who the light cycle timing is optimized for, who gets detected to influence the signaling and who doesn’t… those are absolutely political choices. (And here in the US where I am they almost always prioritize the movement of cars above all else.)
the difference being a nice guitar will sound better than a crappy one, and the purpose of playing a guitar is to create nice sound. sure, a mechanical keyboard may feel and sound better than a crappy one, but the purpose is to create input for a computer and it doesn't matter what it feels or sounds like (aside from enjoyment for the user)
Absolutely, yeah. Even just Quordle would be pretty incomprehensible to most normal people lacking the baseline expectations set by vanilla Wordle.
> But what can’t be argued against in good faith is that the planet would be better off if Apple ceased all manufacturing operations.

Hmm… I mean, if they stopped making stuff themselves they’d be outsourcing more, but assuming you mean they don’t cause anything to be built even in their name, sure.

> Painting them as anything other than an eco-villain is simply dishonest.

Regular reports about how much they’re reducing emissions in their entire supply chain, that they themselves are already carbon neutral in the US, and are on a path to get the supply chain and product life cycle carbon neutral by 2030?

Sure, they’re not perfect, but a villain? Nope.

> They seem to be on a mission to create as much e-waste as possible

Funny way of doing that, by removing redundant stuff from their sales.

I’d certainly like it if their stuff was easier to repair — my first-gen Apple Watch only died last year and could’ve been saved if the screen hadn’t cracked when the battery expanded, and my MacBook Air from mid-2013 is still working but could use a new keyboard and battery and one new USB port and the power cable is a disaster — but 8 years is a fantastic duration compared to any tech I’ve ever used, possibly excluding the things my family bought before I was aware: a Commodore 64, a Video 2000 cassette recorder, a landline telephone, and a cathode ray TV (but even then some of the buttons fell off).
> It's also a way to customize something to your liking

This too. It can be another way to express yourself. The same reason people care about desktop UI, wallpaper, themes, etc.
That’s one way to look at it, but the opposite from how I read it.

My interpretation is not to ruin my health for a company I hold less than 0.5% stock (options) in. The amount of skin I have in this game is not enough to make me sacrifice the little pleasures that keep me sane.

They also have to consider the $ cost of the GPU and time to earn back the initial investment. The AMD 5000 series and 3080 were already more popular than the 3090 for miners because of the hashrate/$ - considering you can't slot more GPUs into a M1 Studio and need to buy a whole other system, I'd imagine that it's current price would leave it uncompetitive for miners even if it did match the 3090 perf.

(nvidia had the same issue with miners still preferring their LHR consumer card to their attempts to push miners to their business tier cards)
I think its less that MSM called the human, prescribed version "horse medicine" and more that people were actually taking horse medicine as a "preventative".

In my part of flyover country, you had to provide evidence, from a veterinarian or a sale bill from an auction house, that you owned livestock to be able to buy livestock ivermectin. Because people were buying it to use on themselves.

That's where the 'horse medicine' thing comes from. It's real.

Main thing is don’t expect too much. You will not experience that same feeling of comfortable camaraderie again for a long time.

Make an effort to listen to people. Keep your ego in check - avoid saying “Well at my old company we did …” - just listen to what people are doing here and now.

I would also say try to maximise informal 1-on-1 time with other people, ask them about their work, their opinions, etc. If you are in a larger group don’t opine, just listen. If you have questions, don’t interrupt the group - use it as an opportunity to go ask the relevant person after and build a 1-1 relationship.

Try to keep a smile on your face. Avoid dark humour or joke-complaining.
