> Nature shows us that it is possible to have richly diverse, highly competitive, and extremely long running species operating

but not infinite unbalanced growth disconnected from natural resources.

when the balance is broken by men or natural causes, consequences are immediate and unavoidable.

Case in point, the population of moose in Yellowstone park

The Yellowstone moose population has declined from roughly 1,000 in the 1970s to about 200 in 1996, with the northern range population down by at least 75% since the 1980s. The population declined steeply following the fires of 1988 that burned mature fir forests. Many old moose died during the winter of 1988–89, probably as a combined result of the loss of good moose winter forage and a harsh winter

nature has no way of protecting individuals other than letting them die out and replace them with something that is more fit to survive

I don't think that's a good outcome for humanity at large or a good message to transmit to the future generations...

> And I think we should pay attention and see if we can emulate that in our socioeconomic constructs.

We should pay attention to the fact that the narrative of "nature is competitive so should we" is almost completely fabricated, nature is almost entirely about sharing the resources and inter dependencies between species.

Predator-prey is one of the mechanisms, but not the only one.

Bees and flowers don't follow that pattern, like also remoras and sharks, anemone and clownfish, oxpeckers and hippos etc. etc.

It's a last resort, not a daily activity predators carry out 24/7 just because they can.

If you watch a documentary you can always see a group of predators drinking water close to a group of preys, because both need to drink, more than eating.

If we think about it domestic cats are much more dangerous for extinction than wild predators, in the US only they kill more than 2 billion birds every year and over 12 billion other mammals.

Just because we put them there without thinking of the consequences and the sustainability of such a large cat population.

Nature wouldn't have allowed it.

Anyway, we are one species, we are all humans, we are not predators and preys, it's very illogical (and always leads to terrible consequences) to compare us to the entirety of nature.

We are all under the same label in the biological taxonomy.
It makes sense looking at the previous generation - I know that I bought a PS3 because it was also a blu-ray player so I can see Xbox wanting to take advantage of that.
The first source I quoted said a "a few hours or days," but I guess that wasn't convenient for you, so you clipped it.

The numbers 5 and 10 are means. "A few hours or days" represents a range. If you look at the first study, there were several participants who never had detectable spike protein, even when they first checked on day 1 after vaccination. So the spike protein cleared in less than a day for a large chunk of people (i.e. "hours").

As for which study I would trust more, the first study (that reported the shorter period had four times the number of patients). But I guess that is also not convenient for your narrative.

I think you're being overly critical. This blog post had much more signal than many of the "business advice" posts that I see on HN.

Here are a few:

> ... Moiz Ali did ... Native Deodorant (acquired ... for $100 million). ... The only thing he did different was to start selling it directly on the internet instead of going through the usual retail channels.

> Alex West’s Cyberleads ... ($300k in yearly revenue). ... a carbon copy of Growth List and the only thing ... changed was ... to make it laser-focused on agencies.

> ... Shaan Puri’s Milk Road newsletter (100k+ subscribers in ... 6 months). He ... copied ... The Hustle but switched the topic ... to crypto.
General Motors also backed lead heavily, because lead additives destroyed engines in only a few years, increasing turnover.
> Humans get away with much more, such as just photographing other people's work and then selling those photographs[0]. I don't see how generating a bunch of images, selecting one, and perhaps tweaking it more is any less fair use.

Humans have also gotten away with murder. I don't think that kind of reasoning is very solid.

My understanding is in industries where it really matters, like music, "tweaking" like that would require royalty payments at least.
A quick ctrl+f on that Cinavia wiki page doesn't have any matches for Sony. Could you enlighten me on what relevance Cinavia has, specific to Sony?

While a turing-complete language can be nice for document creation, it is a bad choice for document interchange. It opens up clients to abuse, because rendering/evaluating a document now requires performing arbitrary computations. It also tends to push computations to the client/receiver that would be more efficiently performed once by the server/sender. So one needs a “dumb”, non-turing-complete document format for interchange.

It’s easy to make everything a Lisp. What’s more interesting, and more challenging, is how to create expressive and expedient interchange formats that don’t turn into programming languages.
This sounds like useful advice. Thank you.

You've succeeded in your goal of posting a sample of what actually shitting on someone looks like. Hint: it doesn't look good on you.

> So engaging with you, or really in any valuable conversation on HN, is an exercise in bad faith, everyone must always wrap themselves in a thick layer of bullshit to appease the gods above or else face sanction.

Engaging with society requires wrapping everything in a think layer of bullshit. Being able to show some restraint is what keeps things civil, because there's a wide range of social norms. Get a therapist and learn how to cope with it.

Again, you could also find or create another venue. You're not entitled to a platform.

Live in Minnesota. Plenty of liberals, but 'friendly' Minnesotans are not. I vacation every year on Hilton Head in South Carolina--although, with many transplants and vacationers from what I assume are wealthy liberal areas, it's not anywhere near a haven for political cultists. That said, the people are GENUINELY more friendly and will strike up active conversation, want to hang out again, etc; whereas, in Minnesota, it's incredibly difficult to talk with someone more than about the weather.

That's what they mean, I'd assume.

If you're gaming in a living room there's something to be said for consoles just working. Steam's controller support seems to have gotten worse and worse over the years. I keep a wireless mini keyboard/touchpad on my end table just because Big Picture Mode is a load of suck. PC goes to sleep, controller never comes back. Controller goes to sleep without a game running, never comes back without closing Steam and opening it again. I don't understand how one PC game can be using it fine, then when you close that game and open another it won't pick up the controller even though it worked fine yesterday.

With the console you just push the button and it turns on and your games are right there.

> We've been working on some updates that will allow Deno to easily import npm packages and make the vast majority of npm packages work in Deno within the next three months.

This is really huge and will be a huge boost to the Deno ecosystem. On the other hand, I quite enjoyed that it wasn't jacked into NPM. There were reasonable alternatives like https://jspm.org/. This is a big swing at Node and I'll be watching with maximum curiosity.

As an aside, the only thing preventing me from adopting Deno as my daily driver has been the lack of AWS Lambda support (requiring a lambda layer, slowing down cold starts). Would be great if they could leverage connections and advocate for native AWS support.
Dude, chill. I've been lurking HN for 15 years, and you made me create an account just to respond to this. Comments like these are the reason why everyone thinks we are a bunch of crazy ultra-nationalists. OP said nothing about Croatian state, or rulers, or church or anything. Do you just cruse the internet and start spewing random Ustase fact every time the word Croatia pops up? Even if there was anything objectionable in what was said there are way less unhinged ways to respond. We are all victims of selective and glorified history taught in our schools (plus a steady diet of hatred-filled media) and through normal dialog we can all learn more about each other's perspectives.
I guess this might be due to using the same dice to decide how many moves you can do in each turn.

This is a bit of a weird take IMO -- CEOs already need to persuade most employees (human capital) and most investors (financial capital) that their manifesto is the best option, or the employees will quit and the investors will take their money elsewhere.

With some exceptions, no one is really forced to invest / remain employed as they might be in an actual dictatorship.

Observe the benevolent-dictator-for-life phenomenon in open source software -- I fully support democracy but it's not obvious to me that its benefits scale down (or perhaps transfer sideways) to corporations; if they did, wouldn't we see a lot more organizations structure this way? Most of government is already not organized around democratic norms, with one extreme being the military.

I'm curious -- what convinces you of the need for this shift?

Tell HN: Amazon allows unauthorized parties to use credit cards
About three weeks ago I noticed an unauthorized charge on my Discover card from Amazon -- I have the Discover mobile app and get instant notifications for every transaction. I immediately froze my account. After contacting Amazon, they confirmed that the charge did not originate from my account and told me to contact Discover; I contacted Discover, got my card cancelled, and a week later had a new card with a different number.

That was the end of my problems. Or so I thought.

The day before yesterday I noticed a recent charge from Amazon. Upon calling Amazon, it appears that it was for the Prime subscription of another Amazon account, not mine. I put it very plainly that this charge was unauthorized, and that I do not want anyone else using my credit card with their Amazon account. To my surprise, they told me that they couldn't remove my credit card from another person's Amazon account as a form of payment. All they could do was refund the amount to me. I asked if that party would be able to continue to charge purchases to my credit card, and the customer service representative said yes. And there was nothing they could do about it.

Amazon, being a big company, I'm sure they somehow update credit card information from the credit card companies themselves. Thus, they were able to get the new number for my card after I cancelled the old one, and I assume they surreptitiously linked it to every account which had my old credit card linked.

I contacted Discover again and they're investigating it. I just can't believe Amazon is allowed to operate this way -- I assume it's illegal in some form. Do I have any form of legal recourse? Has anyone else experienced this?
Thinking can be sterile, unless it leads to making real life choices. Then, when choosing, so-called second-order thinking can only be fruitful if all ramifications are explored, level by level, which is almost impossible, as other forces opposing your own are simultaneously at play. In that context, self actualization will drain one's forces and lead to defeat, not counting all other people's life that may be crushed in the process.

A better way may be to always make the best, highest choice possible. Always aiming for the grandest, most elevated and most valuable choice possible, considering all variables, thoroughly solving every problem as they come. That comes with a cost, but the benefits are infinite.

> Though it seems funny now to think that Scheme lexical environments
were ever difficult to understand, you must take my word that in 1976, people
with PhDs in computer science required careful explanation with lots of
examples to get it. In fact, many people — myself included — had to write
lexical interpreters to understand the interactions that led to the external
behavior, and understanding the interactions was required to get it.

Nowadays lexical scope is the default, and dynamic scope is hard to explain to folks who don’t understand it yet. Makes you wonder how many hard problems would be easy with a different frame of reference.

Although I imagine that a lot of folks would strongly disagree, there is a very real sense in which programming languages haven’t really progressed since the early 80s.

Surprisingly, this still seems true a dozen years later.

> import express from "npm:express@5";

> There will be no node_modules folder, no npm install; the packages will be automatically downloaded in the Deno cache.

My understanding of deno's package system (see https://deno.land/manual/linking_to_external_code#it-seems-u...), is that basically, at compile time it will go and fetch external URLs and cache those files locally. So this change basically makes it so your import:

> import { assert } from "https://deno.land/std@0.152.0/testing/asserts.ts";

Is magically generated from npm when you do this instead:

> import { assert } from "npm:testing@2.0.1";

Ok cool. Whatever.

...surely this isn't the actual problem?

There seem to be certain pretty fundamental problems:

- not all npm packages are typescript

- a package is not just an 'assert.ts' file, it's often an amalgamation (eg. using rollup)

- a package often has many dependencies

- a package may use the node API, that deno doesn't have (it has a more-or-less compatibility mode, see 'differences that cannot be overcome' -> https://deno.land/manual/node)

So bluntly, how on earth is this going to work?

I mean, I'm a fan, the folk working on Deno are smart and motivated, and if it works, I'm more 'wow' than 'I don't believe it'... but I'm very surprised to see:

> the vast majority of npm packages work in Deno within the next three months

That seems... ambitious.

I can't see how the approach is really sustainable, given that basically, it means 'anything node supports we have to support to'; doesn't that mean you're forever playing catchup and 'doesn't quite work'?

How is vendoring going to work without a package lock file? Doesn't this just mean you've reimplemented npm and you'll forever be playing catchup to the various npm features that are required to make packages work?
