Your better answer isn't possible. Not only is passing laws basically impossible at this point, but giving bureaucratic institutions authority to solve unforeseen problems is a good thing. It just isn't possible for lawmakers to conceive of every loophole and edge case. It's too slow to pass a new law every time one comes up, if it's even possible at all.

R0 above 1 means there's a doubling rate.

A doubling rate means it doubles within a period of time.

Let's arbitrarily pick 10 days as a doubling rate.

If, at a time when the doubling rate was 10 days, a particular mitigation measure had been taken, sufficient to knock R0 below 1, ten days earlier than it actually happened, then for the population in question, the situation is half as prevalent. Project that forward, everything that happens since that point flows from a situation that is half of what it actually was. It's a huge difference.

The situation isn't discrete, it's continuous. Getting hung up on 100% prevention is beside the point. Knocking it back by 50%, or even 20%, or 10%, is huge compared to the alternative.

People check the weather every day. I wish our nation had developed a very clear signal that everyone could check every day. Just check it in the morning to know whether it's advisable to wear a mask that day. Back in the post-Delta pre-Omicron days, I did a project of my own to develop something I could check every day. (https://tunesmith.github.io/covid-dashboard/) It's messy and hacky and some of its math is out of date and I haven't gotten around to updating it for omicron, but imagine something like that that is funded, tailored for everyone's county, and really easy to report and communicate. It would have helped, just to know whether today is a mask day or not.
I think the tax environment for companies is favorable, also fewer environmental regulations (and making chips uses some nasty chemicals)

Just wanted to say that taxes in Texas are less favorable than eg California when it comes to middle class citizens - no income tax, but very high property taxes.
Race Across America probably should be outlawed. Like the Cannonball Express it's just dangerous ... dangerous to the riders.

And I am absolutely fascinated by it.

I had not known about it until I past a woman biking across Arizona with a support car following. When I got to the campsite (vacation with the family), I googled and determined she was participating in a race called "RAAM". I couldn't believe it was a non-stop race across the U.S. Sleep, or any kind of rest, is a liability.

I guess I had expected the race to be broken up across a dozen days or so with checkpoints and times taken and added to declare the winner by race's end. But, no, it's just crazy.

And I guess it's the thing that endears me so much to our species.
I don’t see the problem. If the US government shows a potential interest in subsidizing fabs, the expected outcome is that chip makers would explore their options for building fans here.

That’s the entire purpose of the subsidies.
Right, while in the uk with much higher density of towns and train stations, people also use them for local travel to get into town or one town over. The extreme case is something like a million people use trains to commute into London every day, with another million or so on each of bus and Tube (subway).
Arguably yes. Twitter was one of the main tools used by the organizers of the BLM Summer of Love in 2020, and the MAGA coup on Jan 6.

Once every N years, I build a new file server, nothing fancy, some ecc ram and the cheapest xeon and motherboard with 10x sata ports. Then throw in 10 drives about twice the size of the ones in the previous file server.
Then I copy everything from the old one to the new one.
Then the old one becomes cold-storage, which is turned on every few month to have zfs do scrub and copy over backups of important(tm) stuff (family photos, documents and such) before it's turned off and disconnected.

Seems to cost about $3500 each time I do it, but I only do it like, every 4 or 5 years.. My current one is actually at 7 years and I need to do it soon, but I hoped that prices would fall a bit after the corona hike, which they seem to do shortly.
A couch surfer riding a dirt bike across the country was staying on my coworker's boat. He came in one day and asked for a job. We gave him a silly microcontroller project to work on for a few hours, and then offered him an internship. The particular internship didn't pan out, but he made a lateral move within the company and has now been around 4 years or so.

One time I called him a hobo and he was offended, and then he looked up the definition and agreed that he was indeed a hobo.
This reminds me of something I've seen online where a short piece of writing is initially shown in an extremely abridged form, like "I made tea". Many of the words are clickable and are recursively expandable, repeated replacing individual words with phrases or inserting dependent clauses for more color, until you end up with a whole paragraph of a short of prose poetry.

Is climate change a problem ? Could you make a product to help address it ?

Sure products exist in those fields. But none of them "solve" the problems. Lots of room for new products.
Additional meta-data may in the future be extracted through machine learning from such videos.

Regarding open programs: I once led a project where we developed something that keeps track of the software you're running (no screen recording) in order to conduct research into attention and distraction. We didn't have the resources to support many platform versions, so we wrote only a Windows client (most used OS on the floor). It was similar to RescueTime https://www.rescuetime.com/ but more respecting one's privacy and absolutely avoiding the cloud, as we deployed the experiment in a lawyer-intensive environment; for instance we logged running program names but not titles of open windows because file names often reveal sensitive matter. We questions occasionally how productive they felt in the last half hour, and they could comment.
Well I only made that assumption because you seem to have assumed people use React because of Mark Zuckerburg, apologies there.

In either case, kudos to you for actually enjoying the early days of using Ember 1 and Angular 1. I only look back on those days in horror.
the comment you’re replying to mentioned 10 years ago — i’m guessing the companies who happily disregarded people 10 years ago might feel a bit different today.

I would like to point out that the New York Times has made the same claim very recently too (in the same context, a defamation trial).

Events like the Texas blackouts rarely have one sole cause. Reliance on renewables was clearly one factor out of many.
This is common these days. People use CPS to try to bully people.

I'm the white parent of a black son we adopted at birth. We live in a white middle class neighborhood but one neighbor doesn't like having a black kid living there. They've called CPS multiple times. It's always nerve racking because you don't know what can happen even if though the claims are bogus. They come to the door assuming you are guilty.
Wikimedia didn't invent wikis.

In fact wikipedia has many festures that are completely against the ethos of the first wiki.
There are a number of posts that address this issue, as well as issues raised by responses to this post. I posted somewhere "no true Scotsman"--I'm not claiming my post was enlightening in itself, but the post I was responded to (and the entire thread) was, IMO, enlightening.

As for averaging, yes, you can: if a nudge is ineffective, then its result will be random, and a bunch of ineffective nudges will average zero effectiveness. The effective nudges will then push the overall average above zero. We don't see that. (The same would be true for medical interventions, unless some cause harm.)

As for being able to try lots of them: in some circumstances, maybe. But when a government is trying to nudge people towards some desired behavior (vaccination, say, to take a random example), they don't try sending out a bunch to different groups of people, then polling each of those groups to see which groups--and therefore which nudges--moved. And it's not always practical, anyway (and the vaccination example is a case where it's almost certainly not practical).

I did Paris Brest Paris in 2019 (finished in 89 hours) and got Sherman’s neck for the very end. I saw other riders suffering from it, and one woman who had put her hair in a long braid and then fastened that somehow to hold up her head.

Luckily, for me, it came at the very end and I was able to finish.

Worse was that I compressed my ulnar nerve and had loss of feeling and tingling in my left arm for 6 months.

Lots of good memories from that ride.

Miss _one_ case, and the state is on the hook for millions, a case manager who makes $47k a year at 60 hrs a week with an oversized case load takes on an incredible amount of liability.

Yes that's insane but such insanity is hardly an argument for CPS making sane, reasonable decisions. It seems to point in the opposite direction.

But also, I am concerned by how many commenters believe CPS and their related agencies are completely incompetent or unnecessary.

Something like CPS seems necessary but that need doesn't imply that current CPS is competent. It seems like you have a grossly incompetent and abusive system that continuously defends itself by pointing to how necessary it is.
Indeed the documentation was a level that service engineers today would envy and more so techincal details at a level you only get from some serious reverse engineering/hacking today.

Kinda best way to put it is documentation was akin to what you would expect from a mature MCU today as comparable level and in some ways, more accesable and you felt you owned the computer more and had a more intermate understanding.

Though many things go that way, Cars another example and cars of that era, you could get documentation and fix yourself. Today, you under your hood might as well be a Borg cube.

Quote from part 6: "The pink side with the yellow center is a theoretical possibility that remains unobserved as in practice it seems to be unopenupable."
The Lancet knowingly lied about HCQ. Therefore I don't trust them.

Anything less than an airtight full aerosol filtration respirator will not stop aerosols infected with SARS-CoV-2 from leaving and being inhaled by people. Fact. The latest CDC data suggests that "medical masks are better than cloth masks" but never attempt to identify a difference between a cloth mask and nothing.

This article outlines a paywalled paper suggesting masks don't work at all. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/04/data-do-...

The incidence of infection between areas that are fully mask-mandated can't be proven to differ significantly from areas that had no mask mandate due to many other factors https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/masking-lack-of-evidence-with-....

I don't trust the establishment because they were wrong about everything. Fauci lied about masks, then lied about lying about masks, then lied about HCQ, then about IVM and other treatments. The NIH has provided 0 guidance on treating COVID other than vaccines. They did eventually do a study on HCQ to "disprove" it's effectiveness but started the dose at 1200mg/day! Nearly lethal. This of course started on patients that were too far advanced in disease and also had co-morbidities. It was a sham and borderline homicidal. All to protect the emergency use authorization for vaccines and Remdesivir.

A course of HCQ: $10. A course of Remdesivir: $3000. Which is a more fiscally responsible opportunity for a for-profit industry that controls the NIH and FDA?

The NIH staffers including Fauci (and of course the expert who is not an expert: Bill Gates) stand to make a lot of money on vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer.

Fauci also lied about the NIh funding gain of function research in the Wuhan lab under oath to Congress. https://www.outkick.com/nih-admits-fauci-lied-about-gain-of-...

Historically the entire medical industrial complex and APA lied about the "chemical imbalance" theory for depression for decades while making billions of dollars selling SSRIs and misleading the population for profit: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01661-0

It is my opinion that these establishment organizations have 0 credibility anymore and I would never trust anything put forth by them at face value.

2. If masks don't prevent transmission, and mandates are intended to prevent transmission then mandates don't work. Aristotelian logic.
Ask HN: Near future climate change scenarios?
I'm looking for possible realistic near future scenarios regarding climate change to communicate better with people who think everything's going to be fine.

The more precise, the better. Both worst-case scenarios (people start wars over water) and best-case scenarios (politics is turned upside down and focuses primarily on how avoid more catastrophies) are welcome.
Drug addicts? Why not just addicted?

Differently from sport, there’s no such thing as low drug usage being healthy.
Doesn't the Unix Shell implementation break the "threading" constraint, in that each program in the pipe will have a main thread each, and all the programs will run concurrently?

Or should the "threading" constraint really have been stated as "you can use multiple threads, but only if they all have their own address space"?

Alternatively, given the multi-core capabilities of even budget/mobile/small systems these days (even the Rasberry Pi 4 has a quad-core CPU), isn't restricting the implementation to a single thread a weird artificial limitation in 2022? Also, a GPU-based implementation would be interesting, and GPUs most of their power from their massively parallel core architecture.
I’ll be brutally honest, I’m no longer shocked by this sort of thing. I personally don’t get it, but I get how it’s their thing.

It took just a few years exposure to the internet of the late 90s and early 00s to open my eyes to the simple psychological truth that the parts of our brain wired up to pass on our genes are some of the most powerful and fascinatingly flexible.

The ample documentation on the development of so many different fetishes all following similar phases from expose through formative experiences to focus and on to full blown fetishisation. It’s the sort of thing that made me consider psychology as a career. The human mind is fascinating.

When I read accounts like this it’s like watching a remake of a classic movie or a cover of a song, there’s always new bits, but you can see the classic parts like landmarks along a trail.

Too bad I couldn't go this year :'( I went to 2017 and I had booked for 2021 which was cancelled due to COVID. But this year it clashed with other commitments.

But very glad to see it succeeding.

Ps: The event can probably be described as DefCon with a second interest point of the maker community, to which it has been targeted more in the later years. Originally it was purely about security, it's been run since the 90s. The event is outdoor with most participants staying in tents.

Normally it happens every 4 years except this one which is an odd one out due to Corona. Each time the event gets a different name and 3 letter acronym, one of which is Hack, Hacker, Hacking etc.

Previous events were HAL2001 (Hackers at large and the design was inspired by the space suits from the movie). And What The Hack in I believe 2009. And these are just some examples, there were many others. SHA2017 (Still Hacking Anyway) was my favourite. It was such a success that they reused the same field again, this has never happened before. And they're right because it's an amazing location by the water, you can even arrive by boat!

Usually these events have amazing energy and collaboration. I really miss not being able to go this time.
> dont try to place things manually

Ah, so the solution is to use Word as if it was a worse LaTeX, I see :^)

Jokes aside, the precise manual positioning of figures and such (e.g. figures at a certain height of a paragraph, with text flowing around it) was the only potential attractiveness of Word.

If that’s still broken I really don’t see the reason for switching to a program with worse typesetting (and not only) capabilities, given my use case and the fact that I’m quite comfortable with LaTeX by now
> Also have worked with phenomenal Indian devs who were paid the same as me.

I have almost never seen a company where people are paid exactly the same... Usually there are differences. I'm pretty sure your Indian buddies didn't have exactly the same salary.

If you pay 80% less to Indian remote worker it would stupid to expect the same result. But maybe you are in some bullshit corporate environment and don't even want the results, you just want to look like you are saving the corporate some money or whatever. Often these outsourcing choices are about corporate bullshit.

However if you are looking for results, you could hire top people from cheap cost of living like India or so with maybe 10% or 20% cheaper than the western counterparts. I'm pretty sure that's possible, you don't save 50% but you can for sure get a little bit more bang for the buck if you are willing to do the work of filtering good candidates remotely.
The original[1] article is also intriguing and not the analysis of someone I expect to see from someone who describes themselves as center-right. I think this line is a great allegory for my overall frustration with political discourse online:

>The story of baby boomer extremism could be told by analyzing networks of professors and students on elite campuses—but if that story did not also mention Vietnam, Watergate, the end of the civil rights movement, or the 1970s energy crisis, the average reader would conclude that the essayist had lost that decade’s thread.

My personal take has been that our problems have less to do "free speech" and "media decisiveness" and more to do with how America's economic system today has left most people on the edge of destitution and are left people too tired to engage meaningfully with politics. There is a huge chasm between the policies we actually need and what gets debated about daily. I would consider this a leftist position, so I'm excited to read what this author proposes.

One of the things I regret most is not keeping backups of the programs I wrote as a child almost 25 years ago. They all just gone, tens of thousands of lines of code. I remember spending whole summers coding and it's all gone.
lots of misinformation here about the current state of play with respect to GTO. If you're interested in understanding the principles of GTO and how amateurs currently leverage it check out the Finding Equilibrium youtube channel. Specifically, there's a series where this guy teaches his girlfriend to play poker by building heuristics that generally mimic solver advice. It's a cool way to see how solvers are changing the live poker game; from this relatively basic series you can extrapolate how professionals refine their strategies and heuristics to get very close to solver approval in the majority of situations.
If it really doesn't matter which vaccine, is this a case of stirring up the immune system to get rid of anything the immune system recognizes as different? There are articles showing ivermectin helps shrink melanomas too. The leading hypothesis was that the immune system once woken does its thing. It does concern me that once woken it might also take offense to my pancreas or thyroid or gluten or...
I remember applying to fast food places and for shelf stocking at grocery stores around 2010. Every place that wasn't a mom&pop joint would tell me they didn't even have a way to accept a paper resume. Everything needed to be done through their online system and they had no way of manually inputting one or hiring an employee from outside their online system.

I remember Publix had computers by the front of the store and their only purpose was for people without computers to apply. If you came in looking to apply in person you'd be directed to the computers and told you'll get a call if they want to interview.
I have BID. I've been in therapy for more than a decade. Therapy has not done anything whatsoever for my dysphoria.

I'm convinced that my overall quality of life would improve if I got the disability I desire. The mental anguish is simply more intense than the consequences of physical limitation. I personally know others who have "gone through with it" and they really are happier now.
It's the same :) 'paideia', "education", comes from 'pais', "child" - as I wrote, «"children", hence "learners"» (...«the educational part»).

(Note: as I was checking the spelling of 'paedia', see edit below, the statement of pais→paideia also came out in the search results, from wiktionary.org . I suppose it must be quite uncontroversial.)

I suspect that with that '«all-around»' you refer to the left part of 'encyclopedia' as 'enkyklios paideia', "encompassing education".

Edit: but I see, re-reading the post, that I wrote 'poedia' instead of 'paedia'. (I think I am making at least a typo per post in these days. Maybe when the temperatures will return in the 20's...)
