Meanwhile, Haiti manage only 836 COVID-19-related death since Nov 2019, but less than 2% of its population are COVID-19 vaccinated.

It probably will be a resumption of flu season but without the sensationalized scary capitalized acronym (like COVID) and with far less post-flu complications (by virtue of more avoidance of quasi-flu shots that are incorporating mRNA approaches).

Maybe the best I could do is share a story of a college friend of mine whose ambition from the beginning was to start his own company. This was in the late 1980's - early '90's before it was every programmer's default dream -- still something of a rarity. He was strictly middle class from a small town with no financial/family advantages.

He chose an area that he thought was ripe for innovation (computer networking) and got a job at a company he thought was at the cutting edge. He was up front at all times that his ambition was to learn all he could then strike out on his own.

While there, he started a program where the company's engineers gave seminars or presentations to one another on topics of interest. This helped establish him as a leader even though he was not management.

He eventually identified a market niche that was unserved by his company or anyone else. He left with the company's blessing and started his own company with friends and fellow alumni, with seed funding from the companies he had identified as needing the product he aimed to develop.

He profitably developed the product, which was made easier by the loyalty he earned from his engineers due to his leadership qualities.

From there he replicated the pattern on larger scales, identifying market needs and pitching solutions to companies in exchange for funding. This was before VC funding was the norm.

He semi-retired young and went into the non-profit world to try to help solve wider social problems.

I hope you can get something valuable from this brief anecdote. I think the key is to prove your value to employers/investors and demonstrate leadership before expecting things of others.

In theory or in practice? How should/does it work?
That's the sad thing about Github. It takes something that is decentralized and puts in the hands of a company that is closely associated to the American security apparatus. I agree that China shouldn't trust it, given the current situation.
StoneKnifeForth
Nope, but I can see the jsfuck example doing something like that as it kinda weirdly lagged on mine (android 12, chrome 103).
It makes me think there isn't any reason old languages cannot adopt these.

Or even, come up with a new, batteries included version.

Eg. keep the Java syntax, but add one standard package manager (instead of ant, mvn, gradle), one standard test framework, standard formatter, etc. Call it 'Java++' or whatever.

Visual comedy transcends language barriers. I have fond memories of enjoying hours of Mr. Bean with my Chinese relatives who didn't speak any English, but could still enjoy the skits because there was almost no dialogue. The story was conveyed physically.
>"This is StoneKnifeForth, a very simple language inspired by Forth. It is not expected to be useful; instead, its purpose is to show how simple a compiler can be.

The compiler is a bit under two pages of code when the comments are removed.

This package includes a “metacircular compiler” which is written in StoneKnifeForth and compiles StoneKnifeForth to an x86 Linux ELF executable."

[...]

"The output executable is 4063 bytes, containing about 1400 instructions."

My thoughts: That would just about fit on a VIC-20...

There are so many to choose from now and some really ingenious delivery systems. For instance, Concerta is a plastic pill surrounded by a hard dose of MPH (methylphenidate). The outer shell of MPH burns off in your stomach providing an immediate dose of the medication. And inside the plastic capsule, there is more MPH in a liquid form. The inner liquid MPH slowly leaks out by osmosis via a tiny hole in the plastic inner shell.

How anyone thought of this and made it actually work is mind boggling.
No he doesnt. He lives in his private jet or mansion. duh. but he did buy a Casita and have it deployed in his backyard at spacex. He also said it was cool on twitter

Put it the other way. If you could have an extra $1500/year after-tax, would that motivate you to do some lifestyle changes? In EU you can travel to 3-5 countries (like a weekend trip) as a 20-something with that amount.

Edit: $50k after-tax is probably even low for HN, but it's probably in the top 1% globally.

Hey, thanks for this! I've been considering going to the doctor for a long time, but never have. I just sent my GP an e-mail and hopefully will have an appointment set up soon.
He literally uses rocks to bash on anything.
Very true. It's kind of a lesser evils situation as to where you want to put the complexity. Personally I'd feel more comfortable putting it in Excel than a traditional programming language, for the above reasons. But there are situations where that doesn't make sense either.
Were it so simple.

Unlike buying a product, like a banana, or using a service, like your barber, when you “use” facebook, YOU are the product. You are being sold to companies buying adds.

So what is ethical?

Trying to be edgy is truly terrible as well.
Facebook is unethical, I never consented to the shadow profile I'm sure they keep on me. (since I'm an antisocial snob and have never used their offerings).

They have acquired a few products I have used (oculus for one) and that fact makes it even more irritating, as far as I'm concerned the sooner their business model is destroyed the better off the world will be.
The problem is chronic. Activists of all kinds have to eat, see the doctor, pay rent, and so forth.

Those things are currently damn tough for most people, and that's where

You aren't wrong. Having been in those scenarios, when it was my turn to make the calls, the stuff got done safely, work / life balance is appropriate, and so forth.

It's expensive too! Tons of economic pressure on not doing the right things for and with people.

The farther away from the edge people are, the more they are able to do those things you say. The more robust their support network is, the more able they are.
I went shopping last week and my go-to whole bean was $20/bag. I bought it, but I also went online to look for some cheaper options. Any suggestions?
this is a good start
I agree that it's not really about the "quality" of the taste of the thing, I strongly disagree it's generally about tribal membership and signaling. I'm reasonably deep into coffee snobbery now, but not as a part of any group - the only person who knows would be my wife. I genuinely enjoy good coffees and often it's the highlight of my morning. I don't think I'm unique in that, especially since the pandemic.

That said, as with craft beer I think it's very often not about the objective quality (if there is such a thing) so much as it is the novelty. I'm guessing the people you portray negatively are more interested in the fads and trends and always chasing something new than enjoying what's in front of them. The perk of that is funding a broader assortment of offerings, the downside is as you mentioned that it can bring elitism and gate keeping.

I think your "tiny gains in subjective taste experience" is glossing over very real and dramatically different flavors (like a sour beer vs. a hoppy beer).

If it's okay for someone to express, and comment on how they enjoy something... Why is it not okay for someone to do the same when they don't enjoy it?

Truly have never understood this knee jerk reaction people have to criticism. It's a healthy part of civil discourse. I'm not only interested in seeing everyone's praise.
You didn't even look at the source, did you? An election is not free if one party, the SdP, uses intimidation againstvall other candidates. Up to the point that in some districs the SdP list eas the only one available. The SdP, with help from the Nazis, build up pressure on families of DSAP (social democrats) candidates. Economically, not supporting the SdP was a death sentence. The list goes on. It was the SdP who made those elections not free, not Czech authorities.

And despite this climate of fear, women voted, again using your numbers, 20% less for the SdP than men.

Nitpick so, those Sudetendeutsche enabled the local Nazi allies to win a communal election and get to "go home to the Reich". They did not enable the Nazi's rise to power in Germany.

As far as losers go: The German minority was economically desperate in the 30s, unemployment was rampant, industry loosing contracts, self determination was deteriorating. So yes, in a sense those were losers. Men, apparently, felt more like losers than women. Or they lacked the courage to not fall in line. The election results clearly show that.

I say that as being a direct decendant from those losers, and I have no idea how my grandparents voted back then, or would have if they were old enough to vote in 1938 that is. I assume so, that they would have clearly favored Henlein, both of them.
A big drawback to this of course is that it's very difficult to take notes or jot something down while walking around.
Growing up, this is what my dad always commented on about temperature changes (in the NYC area). "Sure, the daily high isn't much higher than when I was growing up, but the overnight temps are crazy high; up in the Hudson Valley, we used to almost need blankets in the summer"

Not sure what my point is, other than the fact that, like everything else in the sphere of climate change, if you've been paying attention then nothing is really all that surprising.
Of course the article is less about good coffee or bad coffee but about how coffee is intertwined with our lives and our culture (at least, American culture). For example, the author mentioned Perkins and I knew exactly what he was talking about. The stories about his stepdad Ted were touching as well.

Two memorable coffee experiences come to my mind.

One was a dinner I had with the late John Vlissides (probably known to some HN denizens as one of the Gang of Four design patterns folks) at a basement Indian restaurant in San Francisco. The meal was excellent, and for some reason we had coffee afterward instead of the usual masala chai. The coffee was far from bad, in fact it was quite good, so we asked about it. The waiter came back with the answer. It was not Peet's, not Graffeo, not some gourmet roaster I had never of. It was Hills Brothers. Hills Brothers was (I guess still is) an old school coffee roaster founded in San Francisco in 1900.

Soon after, I went to the grocery store and bought a can of Hills Brothers coffee and brewed a pot. It was disappointing. Not nearly as good as the coffee we had that night in the restaurant. It could be that Hills Brothers delivered different coffee to bulk buyers such as restaurants as opposed to the retail market. Or the difference could have been my dining companions.

Another coffee memory is hauling my late parents' 50+ year old Pyrex glass percolator out of the closet and brewing a pot. I remember when I was a kid, watching the clear water start to boil, and droplets of coffee falling from the grounds basket into the water, turning it first reddish brown, then darker brown, and then finally black. There is something mesmerizing about watching coffee percolate this way. After it was done I had a cup. It tasted kind of burnt, but at the same time kind of thin and weak. Not terrible, but not really very good. I don't think I made it incorrectly; I think this is how coffee always was for my parents. Hm, that was a while ago. It's about time to haul out the percolator again.
Yes. Not unusual for a first grader to have a basic understanding of it. Naming 3d shapes (pyramids, cylinders, cubes) is kindergarten level stuff.
That is assumption backed by the most patchy evidence. The fact is that we have no idea what population was in the absence of major construction or seashell middens left behind, in almost all places.

Recent decades have seen population estimates forced to be raised by orders of magnitude in many places.
considering that FB did and does serve a purpose beyond meaninglessly scrolling through your timeline and liking pictures - f.x. organising and advertising events or managing group interactions. is there a new FB - something that could replace it or maybe even did? I'm off FB now for about six years but sometimes I wonder if I'm missing out sometimes. I really don't want to move back in.
Kudos to the author.

The readme links to a protocol.md that lives in a private repository, any posibility it gets copied to the github repo?
This is the first time anyone has called it "strange" that I am an empathetic person. Perhaps many people have not gone through (and recovered from) enough hardship to properly develop their sense of empathy like I have.

Better bar me from becoming a pilot, quick.

There's a lot more room for individual expression in comments. If someone's quoting a saying or making a quip that's best expressed in another language, that's fine. If they're consistently posting in a way that most people here can't understand, we'd ask them to stop.

This also affected postmenopausal women who were included in the trials. To quote the paper: "66% of postmenopausal people reported breakthrough bleeding."

Then of course, menstruation age and pregnant women should not be told the vaccine is safe for them, as it was never tested on them. Similar to other pharmaceuticals, it should only be recommend after very careful consideration.

For example, the Tick-Borne Encephalitis Vaccine has a track record of decades, but still, the recommendation in pregnancy is [1] "The vaccine appears to be safe during pregnancy, but because of insufficient data the vaccine is only recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding when it is considered urgent to achieve protection against TBE infection and after careful consideration of risks versus benefits."

> It's not a good question tbh

ESR is mostly wrong about this. He assumes that the person asking the question is not writing in good faith or that they have not considered and dismissed alternatives, without evidence. It's almost always appropriate to assume the person asked what they asked for a good reason ignore the question if you don't know the answer.

SO is plagued with this nonsense, where people answer the question they wish was posted (because it's all they know?) instead of just moving on.
Before someone asks why would you obfuscate, here's common use case: There's plenty of paid/proprietary Electron apps these days and they're not just websites, some of them do some heavy lifting under the hood and people want to protect that better than what Electron offers out of the box (read: nothing).
The is one thing I really appreciate about Just For Laughs Gags. No words or languages to understand, just silly harmless situations and pranks. AFAICT it's mostly done somewhere in French Canada, but there's a few from Singapore I believe.

If this were true, I would think that one could look at the incidence of Alzheimer's among hemophiliacs (unless there aren't enough old people in that demographic to calculate a rate for it), which should prove/disprove it pretty conclusively. Not "easy", exactly, but straightforward.

'I wish this thing that other people enjoy would die, even though it doesn't impact my life at all' is not a healthy part of civil discourse.

[edit] The thing is that I actually agree with the parent: I can't stand Mr Bean - it makes me physically cringe. But I recognise that other people are fans, so I'm happy to just shut up and let them have their fun.
These prices seem comparable to established platforms like Upwork for isolated features like this, even if you filter to West-only freelancers. I sometimes take small gigs like this to learn new tools and/or just help the community while earning a bit of extra spending money.

$100 feels a little low for this just because of the added fuzzy-search implementation, but it's important to remember that a huge amount of developers between the coasts make significantly less than $100k/yr.
Another good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o861Ka9TtT4
Yes. But fortunately, Pfizer, Moderna, and other American Big Pharma's just happen to have some amazing new pills for this.

(as with treatment for Covid, expect prices to go up in the double digits after a year)
I started using a text-only browser for recreational web use (not lynx) and can never go back to a graphical one.

The popular graphical browsers keep growing in size and complexity but I am still doing the same basic tasks on the web, i.e., retrieving files and consuming them. For these basic tasks, the so-called "modern" browsers are overkill. Chrome is something like 150MB with dynamic libraries. The text-only browser I am using to submit this comment is a 1.3MB static binary.^1

1. It does not matter which one. Generally, all of them can be modified and re-compiled to suit personal tastes, a process that (compared to compiling Firefox, Chromium, etc.) is relatively quick and only requires modest computing resources. There is no shortage of people with both the skill and the time to write such text-only browsers. Whether we can we say the same for those with both the skill and time to write "modern" graphical browsers intended to compete with the likes of Chrome is left as a question for the reader. Users of "modern" web browsers have very little control over them. We never see anyone report they disliked something about Firefox, Chrome, etc., so they modified the source and re-compiled. On the contrary, we routinely see people report they switched from the browser of one "tech" company profiting from online advertising to the web browser of another. Or we see people reporting use of some browser "extension" that the "tech" company browser vendor can disable at any time.
It's a bit bizarre that this is the route that folks are becoming aware that privacy has been decimated in the last decades. I'll take it I suppose. Yes, everyone deserves privacy until a lawful warrant has been issued. Not the current reality unfortunately.
I get angry because they're largely bullshit filler to begin with, and even that aside I can skim a lot faster than I can read. They're an intentional waste of my time soley for the sake of draining my wallet.

Just take "Eddie Murphy Raw 1987" - which is near the same time frame. Just compare the talent.
Why do people believe there's a conspiracy to keep poor people poor?

From an economic standpoint, rich business owners want there to be more wealthy consumers in the world, because that means more customers. You don't see Whole Foods expanding to as many poor neighborhoods as rich ones, because there isn't enough money there to buy.

From a social and cultural standpoint, rich people with expensive tastes prefer to spend their time in upscale environments. They aren't happy that so many places are impoverished.
