It is incredible that each time I read new article on FTX I think "well, that tops everything I've seen so far in supposedly legit financial companies" and each next day I learn something that totally leaves the previous one in the dust. Turns out they didn't just used customers' money for risky investment as I thought, they actually pretended that illiquid token they themselves invented is a good asset to cover liabilities for customers' money! And they actually sent balance sheet with this to the investors trying to entice them to invest in this. No wonder Binance run away at the first look of it.
And young male athletes with the greatest development of blood supply in the deltoid represent the most common demographic affected by acute cardiovascular injury post vaccine. Coincidence?

The vaccines were not built to be aspirated, once the plunger is up they can not be reset. It represents a fundamental lapse in standard harm reduction.

Also "wait 15 mins to see if emergency care is needed" could well have been replaced by allergy screening given before the injection. Many thousands of cases of anaphylaxis from the shot have been documented some of which were fatal, all avoidable with allergy screening which is practically free.
This stunt embarrassed a multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical company, cost a lot of people a lot of money, and drew even more attention to a controversy, while also eroding huge amounts of what little trust Twitter had left from both users and corporations (whether they advertise or not), and also focused all of this negative attention directly on the world's richest man and made it look like he's just a sad little boy begging for attention and validation from the masses.

All that and zero downsides? That's a huge win in my book.
Flu shots target several strains of one virus, not several viruses.

There is no credible epidemiologist who wouldn't call the COVID-19 vaccines a vaccine.

And there are a number of vaccines with limited reduction in transmission but effectiveness against more severe outcomes.

I guess I am lucky… but I never had to “look for a job”. My fort job after graduation was the company itself that reached out while I was finishing my studies (and was not the only one… I was overwhelmed by offers). After that every time I changed job is because the company I moved to reached out to me. I am in Europe though… maybe the market in the US is tough!
That's not even one of the measures that I mentioned, but yes!
> "...the business plan of some of these companies was to become so useful to the decision-making class (business executives, government officials, and rich people) that they’d ultimately get some sort of government support."

This! The speculative investors have tasted blood during the 2008 financial crisis and the general public has already been conditioned to accept the idea of "too big to fail". So this music chair game is going to be played for a long time.

Maybe that is the problem.

Instead of applying to 100 companies out of desperation, if a candidate practices and develops specific marketable skills and targets specific roles, he only needs to apply to 10 companies that he knows deeply and are in tune with his skills.

The law of reversed effort — When you focus on your own skills and self-worth instead of desperately pursuing random externalities, externalities that are actually suited to you in turn get attracted to you strongly.

So then even if you apply to 10 companies, the number is low but the expected value of an offer is higher than if you applied to 100 companies the other way.
It seems like if they stopped sharing data with advertisers and research partners, this would be fine? Presumably FTC is some BigCo PII compliance thing?

That’s fair. By disposition I prefer to always try to make a clear case for an idea. It sharpens my own thinking and sometimes observers are inspired to look into something more deeply.
The point about being an entertainer is a good one. Nonetheless, after reading that I came out with more respect for Levine. With FTX in shambles, it would've been easy to go with the flow and lean into how he predicted the whole thing with his Ponzi question, but Levine instead honestly comes out and says that he actually liked SBF more after that interview.

Sure.

This is definitely hype.

For all the fancy numbers you've thrown out there, I see absolutely nothing that strongly indicates that what's going to happen is "Tesla will be a big car manufacturer, competitive with the others."

Don't tell me things in terms of money -- we've already gotten the lesson that Musk is adept at the "money raising/moving game," whether it's stocks or crypto or gov't money.

Take all that away. What's the story of "vehicles on the road?" What's going on with exploding batteries and cybertrucks and adoption. (Maybe it is better than it looks from me, someone who doesn't much care) but what I'm seeing as Teslas is "a niche product for rich people." Personally, I probably won't buy any EV unless it comes from a name I know, like Toyota -- they build bulletproof (damn near literally) vehicles that JUST WORK ALL THE TIME.
Unfortunately, there is a history of this exact type of scam among firms very, very closely associated with the Democratic party.

The owner of this firm probably had more pull with the higher-ups than SBF will ultimately have - he got no jail time & a 5 million dollar fine. He's already back to running hedge funds.

We went from finding out pharma companies exploded the opiate epidemic to people getting tattoos of the brand of covid vaccine they got in a few years. Just because pharma companies make some useful products does not make them good actors. Of course Pfizer is going to say everybody needs another covid booster shot. Every time they convince people they need another it's billions in revenue.
Wow, imagine having 8 billion of customer money, negative, at a badly labelled internal account. And now remember that Wirecard fell over made up assets of 2 billion.

> Then we have to account for the much reduced risk of that though

I fail to see any evidence of "much reduced risk". We know before vaccinations existed some people died, some people were a-symptomatic. After mass vaccination campaigns, same results. Have the deaths gone down? Sure, but there are obvious factors, outside of vaccination, that are certainly contributing to that, if not wholly responsible for it. We know the virus has been getting less deadly with each new strain, we know that putting people on ventilators and cranking them up was 100% the wrong treatment. The media has largely stopped beating the fear drum, there are no more death counters up on the news stations 24/7 so people aren't freaking-the-fuck-out. I highly suspect you could have given out placebos instead and would have seen the same results.
which blows my mind because without him it wouldn't be a classic.
For those of you confused as to how these companies are running at all given that they have never turned a profit the answer is:

1 - they pretty much all raised a ton of capital by going public,

2 - they have all taken on significant amounts of debt. This was previously considered a good move because of low interest rates.

3 - some of these companies actually could be profitable, but only if they cut expenses, I.e. Layoff overpaid employees.

Now to be clear, some of these companies are hopelessly screwed.
The author has no clue what he is talking about. I absolutely loved my Nokia 6822 - you could install a third party SSH client on it and that's how the remote work era really began for me. Next phone for me was obviously Nokia 9300 - also with full QWERTY keyboard. What came later was Android/iPhone which in a way was step back in terms of productivity due to lack of physical keyboard.

Do you have any idea if this effect was found for the non-mRNA vaccines as well? I had the Johnson & Johnson vaccine with no boosters and I've been getting an unusual number of colds this year, though I assumed it was due to life returning to normal with a backlog of viruses I hadn't been exposed to in 2020-2021. I did get covid twice after being vaccinated though and both cases were very mild with the second being almost asymptomatic. The two days after the vaccine were the sickest I've been in a decade but it seems it did its job re: making covid milder.
At a first approximation, everybody is charitable with Exxon, as demonstrated by continued popular uptake of their products across at least two spectra of political beliefs. Some may also embrace critical beliefs about exactly how much oversight/restraint Exxon should have and/or what forms of public support alternatives should receive, but it's about as rare or rarer to have Exxon's products treated with the suspicion that vaccinations are more dangerous than the diseases they treat.

I think the suggestion that “X crashes Safari for at least one user” vs “X crashes Safari for all users” is a pretty different severity so the relevance of this story hinges on if it’s some minority of users or a large majority, or even all users.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to try to narrow it down here simply because the story sort of hinges on the magnitude here.

I think the flaw in this logic is that somehow it's technically hard to start a personal blog, so they invent a technical solution (a better platform). But there are plenty of great platforms that are easy to use, Wix, Squarespace, and Wordpress.com, etc.

The problem isn't technical though, in my opinion, it's social. My working theory is that there are probably the same amount of people or more who were or would be vested in a so-called "personal web" as there were 10 or 20 years ago. But I think that we've all allowed ourselves to be trained that the levels of engagement and web visitors that we would have been happy with 10-20 years ago just doesn't match up to what social platforms can provide, so most people that would have a personal blog just aren't.

I know my personal blog from 20 years ago, which I posted to daily, feels very small and quaint. I also know that I would be disappointed with "engagement."

A more personal web doesn't really need better platforms or tech, it needs a mindset reset.

Here are a few tips that might give you some ideas:

1. If you're doing a daily scrum (or standup) there are a few things that are common: What have you done? What are you working on? and What are you having problems with? Don't be shy with the what are you having problems with because someone might volunteer to point you in the right direction.
2. Be on Slack/Teams and in meetings and don't be afraid to ask questions.
3. Hopefully, your team is doing code reviews. Interact with feedback during your reviews and ask questions and get clarity. Read other people's reviews too. You'll learn who the best reviewers are and learn to tag them occasionally so you can get the high quality feedback.
4. If you get the chance to do on-sites or meet for team gatherings, be eager to go so that you meet in person. Relationships are important.
5. Be there for the other devs (especially the ones that are Jr like you). Everyone has to help each other - that's how this thing works.
6. Remember to find a balance that respects other people's time because they have work to get done too.
These initialisms, abbreviations and acronyms are getting out of hand.

Gates was widely revered by the public as primarily a positive wunderkind business genius until the later half of the 1990s, when he became particularly richer than everyone else, Microsoft became increasingly powerful, and the robber baron image took over. In the early days he didn't have to survive an era of everything-public as Zuckerberg did (there are no leaked chat logs from when Gates was 19 et al).

At 30, most people in the US still didn't know who Gates was (maybe they had heard his name once), much less know anything of consequence about him. Today, if Zuckerberg does or says anything embarrassing, tomorrow hundreds of millions of people will see the headlines and read about it on Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc.

Gates and Microsoft got to ride rather quietly to the top of the tech universe until the mid 1990s. Tech just wasn't nearly so important circa 1980-1990 (vs comparing Microsoft or Apple to GM or McDonalds or Coca Cola today).

>There may be concerning long term effects, but keep persepcive, the worst possible case is still better than the known case of COVID.

The most common outcome of Covid is feeling bad for a couple of days (up to a week), and then moving on with life across all age groups. This has always been the case.

The difference is debt they've taken on.
To add to your point about meetups, I don't think there's been a better time to start an IRL tech meetup in a long time. The local tech scene in the SoCal area has definitely not been the same since the pandemic, and I recall a few threads on HN with remarks about how local tech meetups didn't come back. If someone can't find a meetup in their area, they might as well start one and have a good chance of getting networking value out of it.
This reads like a justification for trolling. "Nobody's hurt and it's all in good fun. My fun and my friends' fun, that is."

Putting up a fake sign is like dropping a single piece of litter. It's not going to do much by itself, it's just a tiny bit of pollution which makes signs a tiny bit less useful to the general public.
I disagree--the bottleneck here is entirely the allocation. The copying is just a memcpy and it's very fast for small structs like this; like I said, it's not the same as a clone() in Rust, which is a deep copy. If you optimized the allocation away entirely (leaving only the copy cost), there wouldn't have been a significant performance problem and this blog would never have been written.

They knew this balance sheet was bullshit. They were just trying to cover up the $10 billion "loan" they gave alameda after it blew up in the spring. I agree that alameda made mistakes that traditional funds wouldn't, but the balance sheet isn't one of them.
Do the math.

If you can bill 40 hours/week for 50 weeks per year, that's about 2K hours so $120K/year. But you can't. You'll probably do well to bill half that because contracts probably don't fill basically the entire year neatly like that. You probably also want to budget time anyway for vacations/illness/etc., selling, billing, learning, and all the other off-the-clock things you need to do.

So now you're closer to $60K per year and that's with self-employment tax and no benefits including health (unless you're on a partner's plan).

So at $60/hr, even with a fairly full calendar, you're pretty much scraping by in the US.
Or more likely, it's just "everybody we hate are surely connected and conspiring against us" type of thing, where everything just gets dumped into one huge pot, mixed up and served up for rage clicks.

What would be the mandate for user error (which is what 'preventable medical errors' boils down to), beyond an ongoing attempt to improve procedures in hospitals which I'm sure they're already doing, especially since the US is very litigious and they often get sued for malpractice.

Humans are messy, can't hold all knowledge about everything in their heads at all times, and error prone. Unless you replace them entirely you're not going to be able to eliminate medical errors.

"Scientific Advertising" by Claude C. Hopkins. This book is turning 100 years old next year, but what I loved about it is that because it predates the Internet (and even TV and the mass proliferation of radio), it doesn't get bogged down in specifics.

But, the principles laid out in this book almost entirely apply to online marketing.

So when I read this book, everything clicked. The closest I can compare it to is when you first learn multiple programming languages and develop an abstract understanding of the concepts. Once you have that abstraction, you can generally pick up any language pretty quickly. It's mostly just semantics.

Similar to this book's impact on my understanding of digital marketing. With the basic concepts of scientific advertising under my belt, I can pretty confidently hop into any platform and learn the syntax, as it's the same ideas, simply reimplemented with better tech.
OP didn't say they're giving their child another booster.
My opinion is that imports are such a simple, rarely-modified, hard to mess up (and often automatically-managed) part of the code that it's much more valuable to have simplicity/explicitness over complex new mechanisms that save a few characters. But we can agree to disagree

Another thing that helps is that in Deno, it's common to have a deps.ts file that imports and then exports all the third-party libraries in use, for the rest of the project to reference. This is mainly done to make sure everything is using the same versions of everything, but it helps with brevity too. You could even approximate your own namespacing mechanism using this pattern

> As far as I know, Java's (default) runtime gives cheap allocations at the cost of long GC pause times.

"long GC pause times" is kind of vague, so I guess you could be correct, but in practice there's a LOT of different ways the memory management can be handled, many of which are deemed "pauseless GC" (though the term is somewhat misleading).

My statement was considering that reality though. While not true for some use cases, in the vast majority of cases, the runtime optimizes the allocations more than sufficiently.

> It's not "copying", it's "allocating"

Allocators can do a pretty good job of minimizing the overhead of allocation, to the point the amortized cost isn't much more than a single machine instruction. Allocating gigabytes of memory quickly is possible. Copying the data can be a lot more work, and often objects have copy semantics that add a lot more additional work.

> Anyway, "a runtime that minimizes allocations" is just an escape analyzer and Java has one of these too, and IIRC it's a lot more sophisticated than Go's (but it's also a lot harder to reason about as a consequence).

I think you're implicitly saying "a runtime that minimizes heap allocations" there, in which case I'd agree.

> You don't get a choice about COVID getting into your body, and that is far worse than whatever possible long term effects of the vaccine might be.

You seem certain of this, but the vaccines are new enough that we can't possibly have long term data to even evaluate.

Bodies are complicated, even more than software systems. I've been in enough SEV reviews where the root cause was seemingly innocuous to know that I can't anticipate with much confidence that any particular change won't result in some cascading failure scenario. This is why we have test environments. Luckily in software it's extremely rare for a change to take years to manifest bad behavior, but not so in medicine.

I'm no biologist, but an obvious question to ask is if the spike protein by itself, which the vaccine will produce, has different impacts than the spike protein coupled to the virus envelope. It's certainly smaller, will it be able to pass through areas where the whole virus package wouldn't? What about the end of the spike that would otherwise be attached to the envelope, will it have an effect?

You can't naively draw a Venn diagram of virus and vaccine impacts where the vaccine impacts are fully a subset of the virus impacts.
