> Evidence-based medicine, more than the indeed important issues raised in the article, is mostly impaired by the absolutely abysmal average quality of clinical research papers. The absolutism of higher-ups combined with their unrivalled (in the scientific world) statistical ignorance is hurting science more than anything else.

I couldn't agree more. Throughout the pandemic there has been an infuriating pattern of terrible research coming from medical doctors, followed by dismissal of any/all critiques by people much more qualified to make these critiques, because "they're not doctors".

The average medical doctor has next to zero ability to evaluate a study, and is easily fooled by elaborate statistical techniques into concluding that up is down and left is right. Meanwhile, scientists and statisticians with enough experience to see the methological flaws are dismissed, and policy makers turn to MDs -- who are often wildly out of their depth -- for pronouncements on "science".
Yes exactly, that's how we think about it. We are using nature's own capture machine, trees... thanks for this clear explanation :)

How exactly does deciding on your own desired housing budget force anyone to remain poor?
A "mathematical object" in this case is a description of how the object is expected to behave.

But even so, I think something is lost in reducing monads to a clump of related behaviors and properties. You still need intuition about what these behaviors actually mean and what kinds of real-world objects actually conform to these properties.

So you are right that monad "is not" a nondeterministic computation or a container or whatever, but a monad "is" a common set of behaviors/properties that we should expect nondeterministic computations and containers to conform to.

Abstraction without intuition is obfuscation!

From what I’ve seen in and outside America, my gut feeling (I don’t claim expertise) is that zoning can make things worse.

The apartment directly under mine is used as an office. Down and to one side is a psychiatrist. Ground floor is a cafe and a pizza takeaway. The apartment opposite me has a grocery store on the ground floor, an office on the second, a dentist on the third, and it looks like the rest of the units are residential. I may be missing something important about the rules here because I can’t read German well enough, but it feels self-balancing.

America… well, this is a tourist perspective, but I didn’t realise how realistic SimCity was before I visited.
There is a bottleneck in the number of MD positions. Without the MD title, your typical life science researcher cannot easily carry out medical research. Medical education and training has a scale problem.

HN style startups I don't know about. Nobody ever offered me stock in my employer.

The overarching theme, I think, is that small businesses are more vulnerable, so there's more pressure on everyone, and fewer rules that matter.

Small companies, or sole proprietors, in my experience, like to pretend people are contractors. Woe unto you if you're 17 and naive enough to question the legality.

When I think of small businesses, I think of people demanding personal loyalty, lack of respect for the law and safety, and favoritism. I think of cult-like indoctrination. Bosses/owners who think it's ok to demand the same sacrifices of employees that they make to run the company. Lack of internal controls over financial matters, discrimination, or harassment.

Besides my general sense of the world, this is founded on my first couple of jobs after high school and before college, and experiences of relatives that ended up in odd places because they were really smart but didn't have a marketable degree.

Ok, in California for example, before this works, you need to undo most of the anti-building laws (these are mostly environmental related btw - not sure if you would be happy with removing them), corrupt permitting boards, and also do some reform on the lawsuit system (since everyone sues you when you start building). Also there are tons of accessibility related laws that make building more expensive - e.g. you must have an elevator on any complex with 3+ apartments. It's probably illegal to build cheap apartments with no AC like we used to.

If you dont change any of this, a new "affordable 1br apartment will probably cost 700K.
I fully agree with this.

Maybe they're working on something big, but Canon, et al. to me appear to be headed the way of Kodak, at least in the consumer market.

They would have a hard enough time with casual users just because the camera on their phone is "free" (included in the price and perhaps more importantly, the form factor). But I don't even see any attempt to compete with Apple or Android cameras.

I use a full-frame SLR, and love my lenses. But I put it at even money whether I will ever buy another.
Love The Cars. Never liked "Drive", and never understood why that's the track most people know them for. It's just boring. It would be a bit like knowing Nirvana only because of "Something in the way", but not knowing "Smells like teen spirit". For me, their first album really nailed it. The singles from that album are great, but so are "You're all I need", "Moving in stereo" and "Bye bye love".

My pet theory is cities are malthusian. Contrary to popular belief, Malthus didn't predict runaway population growth. What he actually predicted (and was right for most of human history), is that any gains in productivity would be eaten up by population growth until the average wealth per person diluted down to it's previous level. So back to cities. Here's my pet theory. You build more apartments, or faster trains or whatever to expand the availability and affordability of 1 be apartments within a 1 hour commute, and it will work for a while, but within a few years people chasing opportunity will have moved to the city until the rents and costs of living eventually return to previous levels. This dynamic works because unlike pre industrial malthusian times, cities do not rely on birthrates for population growth.

> How about people figure out how much money they need to afford the lifestyle they want and then get a job that pays that much?

What if your lifestyle consists of:

1. pay off student loans in 10 years

2. be able to take transit to work (can't afford a car)

3. save at least 5% of take home pay to get a used car

4. eat ramen and salad

5. maybe see a movie once a month, or go to a bar twice a month

6. internet & cell phone

7. try not to starve or get evicted

8. avoid more than 2 roommates

9. have Obamacare catastrophe-ony health insurance (bare minimum)

And the only job you can get doesn't even pay for that?

That's pretty much the lifestyle of every 30 something I know who is struggling. That's also why this and student loan debt is being called a crisis, because it is. It's not like people honestly want a lifestyle that involves a McClaren and weekly trips to Bali.
> We debate these things because some people say "I feel X" and others say "You aren't allowed to feel that way and here is how we will marginalize you for that".

Talk about missing the plot. This is 100% incorrect and not at all what the debate is about. No cares how anyone feels, people can feel any way they want, this is not the complaint.

The issue is “I believe I am <gender>, and I demand you treat me as <gender>, and also demand that you also agree that I not only feel like <gender>, but that I actually am <gender>.”

Yeah, sorry no that isn’t how biology works. It’s also selfish and narcissistic to demand everyone else partake in your self perception. Demanding everyone use your “pronouns” is just as silly if I demanded that everyone use the adjectives “strong and handsome” when they refer to me because that is how I feel and perceive myself. Having my own adjectives is extremely pompous, and so is having your own pronouns. You can feel however you want that’s fine, but you don’t get demand every else in the world must take part in your self perception and compel their speech and behavior to do so.
Yes, making accidental non-compliance easy and thus commonplace is IMHO a shortcoming of spec as per Nextgrid's comment.

Call center fraud is a huge and pervasive problem. The use of 3rd party call centers, all over the world, have added additional complexity to address it.
The reason why single earner households can't afford a house on a single earner wage isn't because houses got 2x harder to build, or a single earner got half as productive. It's because there's only so many houses (land) available, and therefore the people with money (mostly 2 earner households) bid up the price until the people who can afford it equal the number of houses available. So yes, those people "with 'traditional values' or whatever" could certainly get that implemented, but that'll involve banning women from the workplace (or similar legislation to prevent 2 earner households from out-bidding 1 earner households).

> A grand jury is not serving you; it's serving the government ... it's a service to us as a society

These are contradictory. If it's a service to the society, it's a service to me as well, as I am part of the society. True, not "just" me, but I also never advocated for any right that applied to just me. The discussion was always about creating a right for everyone to discuss with (reasonably sized, reasonably financed) companies, their reasonably-chosen concerns.

> If no one can compete with them [...] that's not bad for consumers. That's good.

Yes, individual transactions become cheaper when the business is large. However, choice is greater when the business is small, because then there are more competitors. We can agree that it would not be efficient for the economy for every establishment to be its own business, meaning that every hardware store and every restaurant was its own corporation. However can we not agree that it is also not efficient when a very large business goes bankrupt and we either have to urgently reshuffle the economy and/or bail them out?

And additionally, do you not think predatory pricing is a thing? This is something recognized to be used by institutions such as Wal-mart and Amazon.

> if having guaranteed human phone support is something valuable to customers, then customers will pay for it.

How would I even tell the company I want this feature, if I can't get through to them on the phone in the first place? How would they know it's wanted, if they never hear from anybody? And if they can't even answer to people who have paid them for their core product, why would they to anyone else?

Agreed. The niche subs are doing great. But if you browse /r/all or even most of the default subs, it’s pretty awful.

I use Apollo, and have filtered dozens of defaults from /r/all, and added certain keyword filters.

Once you do this, it’s an interesting place again. I do worry about those niche subs in the long term. It’s increasingly rare to see a truly interesting small sub show up on the front page. Finding the good stuff takes more and more effort.
trust me, price controls on labor will surely fix the housing shortage!
Plenty of people do not search for jobs unless under duress.
It's pretty much automatic. If there's more demand than supply, then companies will offer more money to hire this person with a university degree.

The only way you keep this person's wage down is increase supply - have lots of people with university degrees. But that's not the real world, in the real world most people are not able to get a degree.
That sounds all well and good but I live in a desirable central coast city and thanks to SB9 I can now build 4 extra res units on my property. You are mistaken if you think anyone is going to spend that effort and charge anything less than current market ... maybe more, new houses are expensive.
What we need is subsidized housing close to mass transit, single payer medicine, progressive tax reform and subsidized child care. Changing laws to allow the wealthy land owners to build more for-profit residences will help only land owners.

"that means more hours employees will need to work to maintain their current level of living."

They are doing this because the profit in centralized, long-load power on government contracted buy is amazing.

Distributed power, which I like, tends to remove cost and is harder to generate a revenue flow from because its about avoiding those big central, fat-bill lumps.

Not to under-state that they really do want clean power, but their choice of which kind is motivated by a join over both clean, and profit.

So will plastering banners all over the internet end the war? How is it raising awareness exactly? And why aren't we raising awareness about thousands of other political, social and economic issues around the world that actually need awareness, rather than pretending to do so about the most popular issue of the day?

Politics doesn't belong in software. Some software can be political, sure, but the only purpose of these banners is good PR and virtue signalling.
>Minimum wage has other effects. It eliminates extremely unproductive jobs

what are these "extremely unproductive jobs" you speak of? Is the job of a burger flipper really so bad that we should eliminate it from the economy? Is it so bad, that if someone's skills only allows him to do that job, that it's better for him to stay at home and twiddle his thumbs than to show up to work?
Old win 3.1 toolbars had tiny 16×16px icons, that could be quite colorful without being overly distracting even on a lower-resolution screen. With the new emphasis on "touch" readiness combined with higher screen resolutions we get bigger icons but simpler, black-and-white shapes, which helps tell apart simple toolbar functions from icons that might represent all sorts of other things within an application.
This is always my thought as well.

I believe coffee drinkers are less likely to commit suicide too, which definitely would align with the purpose a job gives you (fwiw).
It would appear that the mRNA vax triggered an uncommon autoimmune response for you. Such reactions are not common, yet have been documented. Since they are transient there has been very little attention given to them.

It is extremely unlikely that you got a bad batch of Pfizer. Moderna and Pfizer are different formulations, so having differing reactions to them is unsurprising.

It isn't and the cost of developing something... is too much for a side gig with the intended purpose for the VPS to pay for itself.

> why would you bill per user?

In my situation I don't need to bill per user (and it would be counterproductive for me to do so in the long run), my point here is what my price calculation per resources spent doesn't correlate with my resources cost in any meaningful way, at least with anything with the word 'income' in it.

> and your costs track a certain number (e.g. number of checks/hosts)

In the end I just drew some arbitrary numbers for a checks/hosts numbers, slapped the price tag of a couple bottles of beer and called it a day. One person was happy with it and he uses only a couple of basic HTTP checks (so maybe around 0.002% of VPS? Who knows). Other one said it was too much for him. *shrug_emoji*

But using a proper programming language to define dependencies is one of airflow's main advantages! I'd even go so far as to say you're not using it to its full potential if you're not writing code to infer complicated dependencies programmatically.
I live in Liverpool, a moderately large city in England (and work in the city centre). An hour's cycling, let alone driving, will get you basically out of the city. And, for all that there isn't space for vast exurb-style tract houses, there are a ton of houses of different sizes up to large detached houses with decent gardens, large parks, and all the other nice things.

Travel-to-work areas are circular-ish, and the available space for housing increases with the square of the distance. Accommodating a large hospital's workforce won't make a sizable dent in that. Compulsory tiny rabbit hutches in the sky it is not.
Ask HN: Anyone feel like the security field has gone to shit?
Ten plus years ago the security team would actually read our code. They knew what to look for, where the language or database or server had vulnerabilities. Any issues they brought forward were actual real issues that needed attention. Now so many "security researchers" are simply running our code through automated tools. I have to spend time helping them create the Jenkins jobs to run the task and then they also need help analyzing the results. For example I had to explain dev dependencies don't ship with our production code so a given exploit is not applicable. Do I just work for a junk company or is this the new norm?
That math doesn't work out. $24/hr is roughly the average (not median) US wage today. $15/hr is close to the median US wage. Making that work would imply extreme wage compression for everyone regardless of occupation or skill.

It is not necessarily a bad thing, cause good and bad are metrics determined by different people's relative preferences.

No not a joke. I've done this many times.

Use a server image as the base which uses the latest version of the OS and core packages and then have your own custom install scripts that initialise the new server with the elements you need from the latest versions.

Getting those scripts right is the key part.

Once these are set up, standing up new servers and burning old ones is a cinch.

Minimum wage has always seemed to me to be an unfair way to mandate a minimum standard of living. You are placing that burden solely on business sectors that cannot automate most of their workforce.
