Why Sars-Cov-2 is a suspect:

1) Many of these hepatitis patients tested positive for Sars-Cov-2 when they arrived at the hospital for hepatitis.

2) Sars-Cov-2 is changing fast. Just in the last few months it has changed substantially several times. Increased hepatitis risk in kids might be one of those changes.

3) The usual causes of hepatitis were not present, and no better explanation has been found yet.

Investigation still in progress. Might be one of these two viruses. Might be something else that hasn’t been detected yet.
Still a weird rule tho. You'd think they want to hear if their advice was good or not and have a catalogue to look back at on what worked for certain situations.
YMMV. Linux on the 2019 16" MBP has a lot of issues that make it irritating. It works, but not perfectly by any stretch. And yes the machine is nice, except for the keyboard, which is probably one of the most important parts!
> My anecdotal experience is that the response-curve to muscularity for heterosexual women is non-linear (now there's a sentence I'd only write on HN...), and there's only a correlative effect for normal range BMIs.

No need to rely on your anecdotal experience, there is actual data if you read the linked studies:

> Contrary to popular theories of men's physical attractiveness, there was no evidence of a nonlinear effect; the strongest men were the most attractive in all samples.
I know we're not supposed to ask this on HN - but did you read the article? It's precisely examining the topic where most people's immediate response would be to want to punish the person who caused this - but in showing us the tragic human stories involved raises enough doubts to convince me it's an issue that needs a very careful weighing up.

The only reason I wanted to know if you're engaging with the article rather than the headline is that you haven't acknowledged the issues raised by the writer - which struck me as odd in this context.

> Picking Germany as one example, we need German language keyboards,

Australia and NZ are easier because there is no new language involved (both use English); unlike UK, there isn’t even a different keyboard layout, both using the US English layout (but I suppose some people in the UK would be happy to buy it even if it had a US keyboard.) The only physical hardware change required would be a different mains power cord. Some of the other issues (regulatory/tax/currency/customs/etc) would still exist, but cutting the language issue out must simplify things.

>Apple keyboards are miserable

> I have a Macbook pro I get from work and the keyboard on that thing is borderline unusable. With it's weird flat keys, no travel, and the elimination of function keys for this terrible GUI thing.

You have an older version made sometime between 2016-2019. They got rid of the butterfly keyboard for the 2020 models.
People are nitpicking you, but you’re right that the presentations do tend to omit or underemphasize concrete computation. Part of this is lineage, in that it’s related to differential geometry where much of the point is that you are abstracting away computational aspects like coordinates. But to do much of the fun stuff, you need coordinates, which the community would do well to connect better with the abstractions.
The few times I've had my home internet drop out and I needed a few hours of wi-fi to get work done I realized the local cafes were the same people there sometimes taking all the spaces. I usually got lunch and etc too considering I was taking up the shop's space for a few hours... but I was one of the few who did that.

Maybe there needs to be an office space + cubicle + coffee shop rental thing ... but I'm not sure you could charge enough to justify it / folks would probably save money and just go camp at a coffee shop.

It's an interesting dynamic.

> We have places where you can pay to "pan for gold", i.e, get muddy and get maybe a flake of gold, so we have people paying to be 49ers.

Back when I lived in California gold country I used to know a guy who would go panning for gold for free and usually made enough money to pay for the beer he took out there — though I suspect the fresh air and beer were the important aspects to his gold bug.

Should add his “secret spot” was somewhere right in the middle of Auburn and I believe within walking distance from his house.
The problem is, if you forget your them in the way that happened in the article, you would forget to give them the keys too. Or do you mean you give them the keys for the whole car journey? That's got to depend on the age of the kid surely?

It's still a bit silly to tell every SaaS developer that they shouldn't validate that they have a normal-looking domain because some people's use cases call for sending emails to local addresses or to TLDs directly. If a developer needs to handle those cases, they know already, and they're in a vanishingly small minority.
It's interesting because, not too dissimilar to building tree houses, digging or tunneling is something kids are obsessed with that has a clear evolutionary advantage.

A nice tunnel is something you can use to store food in, stay safe from predators in, use for shelter or to stay cool in, have a shadow puppet theater.

I wonder if hes just got a bit of a positive feedback from some monkey brain circuits.

I think the GF should get him enrolled in some community college tunnel building classes or some such and demand he build it well and safely. Beyond that, it seems like a pretty benign hobby.

I'm sure unlimited plans existed, but I remember them being "top of the line" and friends certainly got into (minor) trouble for exceeding their plan.

Happy you like it so far! Have you seen the Advanced editor I added recently to control precisely how things like investment returns, accounts, income, and expenses change over time? When you open up the full dialog for that, I bet that control point table would be a perfect place to add support for CSV import of income (or whatever other variable) by year.

I think the standard is to evaluate in terms of valuation? So if you give up 10% for $500,000 you are setting a valuation of $5M, so 1% for $500,000 -> $50M valuation, etc.
I'm thinking instead of cafe maybe a place that one can rent a small, dark and quiet room at relatively flat price. Say any coffee for the first hour and then $2 per hour. Additional basic Coffee is free but food needs $$$. Does it make any financial sense? I guess no? Is there a way for the customer to claim the expense as sort of WFH expense?
It’s likely more dangerous thank bedrock tunneling frankly. Loosely consolidated sedimentary soil can easily shift and slide with relatively little outside input. A truck driving by, a rain, sprinklers, even someone walking over it.

And it only takes a small amount of dirt covering someone to crush them or suffocate them to death. Literally less than a foot depending on distribution.

Construction crews have to shore up anything higher than waist high for this reason.
Agreed. I can't stand the feel of the MBP (16" 2019) keyboard. For one thing, it's too far to the right. But I also agree with you on the weird flat keys and soft F keys. At least mine has a real esc key. And this is purely habit & preference, but the control/option/command nonsense is infuriating. Everybody else does this the right way, get with the program Apple.
Honestly I think the technicalities of a language take second place to "How easy will it be to scale the team?" (aka "How big is the candidate pool?") and "How quickly can anyone who leaves be replaced?" (aka "how easy is it to avoid the golden handcuffs?"
When you have a list of symptoms you want to ask the internet about it’s probably something you should ask your doctor about instead. If that turns out to be useless then ask the internet.
Merely for your consideration, I believe it'd be possible to match both goals by setting next year's version to 2023.0.0

I also didn't know about the leading number being a yearly increment and would have thought 7.0.0 was a substantial change over 6.0.0; setting the number to 2023.0.0 makes that distinction a lot more obvious

Your response to governments dictating who's a person:

> Governments have always had the ability to dictate who is a citizen and who isn't.

You're saying a non-citizen isn't a person? I find all your viewpoints defeatist. Maybe that or you still side with governments worldwide? If so, fine, but I don't.

> Granted in a democracy the people have a say in what governments do

Do they though? In America, from a purely signals and systems perspective, my choice comes down to red or blue (1 or 0) on a number of representatives and measures I do get to vote on--that's ignoring possibly corrupt voting.

In the myriad of complicated laws that are passed, and even wars that are fought, I don't get more say than a binary choice on abstractions (representatives)? In what way is that government ruled by the people!?

The ugly truth about Net Promoter Score surveys
As noted by another commenter, we're "social" animals. So consider "strength" in the context of the social dynamics of the mating group.

That is, in some groups, literal physical strength is going to have benefits, and be sought after because of how it can be physically applied. In other groups, the aesthetic of being physically strong brings along social standing, which is attractive for its own reasons. Etc.

The point being, cultural norms of beauty, whatever they are, correlate to the other desirable traits and outcomes (money, power, safety, stability, etc) that humans want, in that context.

I drove a rental recently that had a “check back seat” message and a chime when you turned off the car and it detected something in the back seat. I seemed to quickly learn to ignore the chime as it becomes the noise the car makes every time you turn it off. I would be surprised if they had any effect.
They do!

My car has a "rear occupant alert" system. The problem seems to be that it struggles to differentiate between junk in the trunk and a living thing. Unfortunately, that makes it relatively useless since it's almost always beeping at us.

Eccentric aristocrats get trapped by the social norms of their classmates. There's even lore around this.

after reading that it is pretty clear that the discovery wasn't accidental, but the really annoying thing is the exposition and exaggeration present in the text. "they were so surprised they had to recheck 100 times".

Yes, my customers know in advance that I have other jobs, though I don’t tell them any details. I get paid based on delivering, not for eight hours a day. And no one has a problem with it. All of the worries that get expressed about employees working multiple jobs just disappear for freelancers, even if I’m doing the same work.
I picked up a Dell Inspiron 7000 17" and liked these details:
- Large 17" screen with slim design similar in size to many 15".
- 2560 x 1600 resolution. 4K is too small, 1920p not enough pixels.
- Dedicated Nvidia graphics.
- Effective keyboard for coding.
- Lower cost than XPS yet seemed more full featured.

Battery life is somewhat lower due to the size and higher performance components. But seemed like a good trade-off in the end for the better coding experience.
A couple topics no one has mentioned:

"inherited property" = He started this with Grandpa, then he left for college and/or grandpa died, now its a memory of the good old days. Now if he could only find someone to experience this together in the current year, like someone who calls him "boyfriend"... (edited to be more explicit, this was never about digging a tunnel it was about hanging out with grandpa, kinda like I never fished to live and wasn't even a huge fan of eating fish but I liked fishing with grandpa as a kid)

All the single people on Reddit AND HN not understanding the difference between doing something with someone and doing something around someone, so using strict binary thinking if the poster is not a fellow digging addict the poster must ostracize the digger and force them to be alone. My wife does fine precision woodworking "with" me not "along" with me, for example. She's right there scrapbooking while I'm hand cutting (loose and rattle-y LOL) dovetail joints, etc. The poster is making a huge mistake by not hanging out with BF using the excuse of not wanting to lift a shovel. Read a book, watch videos, do some craft, no need to pick up a shovel.

There's never been a better time in history to take up tunneling. Youtube is full of abandoned and active mine exploration videos, uncountable hours. There's something strangely chill and technologically impressive about seeing mining works on screen. I picked up this youtube interest during the covid lockdown as a way to get out there while also satisfying some techno-curiosity. "Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Locations" is good, Frank is pretty chill dude. Beware that looking at mining videos leads you down a path where next thing you know you're watching The Proper People do urban exploration and then you find the Dead Malls of Discord server and you're watching cruise director Kristin wander an empty dead mall at 2:00am when you have to work the next day...

My experience with cranky old men, being related to several and probably turning into one myself, is if they're not overly talkative you'll get the standard complaint regardless what's going on. So my elderly uncle goes to his rented farm patch "to weed the tomato raised beds" almost every sunny day but that's like five minutes work and the rest of the time he does all kinds of crazy stuff ranging from tractor maintenance to fertilizer application to whatever else his hobby interests lead him to. So this dude is probably restoring the house to move in, or planting a huge crop of "something" or maybe he's just fishing all day, but yeah he's not the talkative type and he "went out to dig today". Or sometimes that's just how guys plan hobby time. Today I WILL mow the lawn so I say I am mowing the lawn but really I spent most of the time doing misc yardwork tasks, trimming bushes, etc, still I'd simplify it as "I mowed the lawn".
My Bolt has a rear seat reminder setting - it's literally a chime + console message to check the back seat after you turn off the car. Not very smart, but it's there.

Not sure what you mean by "smart cars" (Telsa, etc.?), but my 2021 Hyundai Palisade already has this feature. It can detect if someone is in a back seat and displays "check rear seats" on the instrument cluster when turning off the car if it thinks someone is back there (seems like it checks the weight on the seat).
Sure. Fine. Skip that part then.

The larger point I was trying to make still stands.

It seems to me like you are speaking from the perspective of personal projects (or small teams at least). However, if you are an organization which currently consists mostly of Java or Python devs, then Go might not even be an option for you. You can't just pick whatever seems best, somebody needs to maintain it and maintenance is much more expensive in the long run so going with something familiar and established in your environment pays off.
The reason I see people not engaged in group meetings is that the content is not relevant to their work. This gets more true as the level of leadership in the call increases, with the peak irrelevance being when execs read Powerpoints to an entire company instead of just sending an announcement out. I know not all execs do that, and I do believe in engaged discussions with remote work... but I have to wonder if there is a bias coming into these conclusions specifically because execs have a different relationship with employees vs. people lower on the org chart.
How I Tamed My Panic Attacks
> It is talking point targeted at people who do know American history and who do criticize those actions as bad - but who never really cared about Russian or Easter European history at all.

Guilty as charged. I've never particularly focused on understanding Russia, apart from family stories about Russian occupation after WWII before they got out of East Germany to the West and ultimately the US (watching The Lives of Others is like the life I missed). So that talking point is targeted at people like me. And the points do resonate with me somewhat, since I do consider USG an empire. An economic empire that mostly keeps its territories in line through market effects and treaties, fundamentally nicer than an army-first directly-commanded empire of old, but still an empire.

> You can not legitimately analyze a any state or group of people without engaging with those.

I don't disagree, however earnestly engaging with those is a lot of work to sift through various opinions. What we're dealing with here is an ongoing torrent of superficial analysis that destroys consensus truth. So while I think most experts on Russia would seemingly agree with your analysis, a propagandist can stand up an equally-plausible expert that says the exact opposite. Without any social proof (eg in-depth study of Russia in school or independently), there's little way for an individual to sort through that muck. Enter relativism.

> It is fundamentally absurd way to interpret Russia even in theoretical alternate reality where Russia did not tried to commit genocide in Ukraine

Sure, but that wouldn't stop such analysis from carrying the day with many people. In order to eliminate relativism, one either needs to become an expert in the field (what I described above, impractical for most), or one needs to find objective points that can't be relativized away in our postmodern media environment. The blatant mass slaughter of civilians is such a touchstone - it puts all of Russia's countervailing narratives in stark relief.
It's hard to not talk past people about these things... i'm really struggling to understand what you're trying to communicate.
