msn launched in august 01995 and this article is from 01993 (albeit december 01993)

maybe msn was in development but this was years before bill's famous fire alarm 'internet tidal wave' email about how the company was totally fucking up by missing out on the internet

like a year and a half before

https://lettersofnote.com/2011/07/22/the-internet-tidal-wave...

it has a paragraph about msn that kind of supports your point that it was intended to be a compuserve-like thing at the time

> MSN. The merger of the On-line business and Internet business creates a major challenge for MSN. It can’t just be the place to find Microsoft information on the Internet. It has to have scale and reputation that it is the best way to take advantage of the Internet because of the value added. A lot of the content we have been attracting to MSN will be available in equal or better form on the Internet so we need to consider focusing on areas where we can provide something that will go beyond what the Internet will offer over the next few years. Our plan to promote Blackbird broadly takes away one element that would have been unique to MSN. We need to strengthen the relationship between MSN and Exchange/Cairo for mail, security and directory. We need to determine a set of services that MSN leads in – money transfer, directory, and search engines. Our high-end server offerings may require a specific relationship with MSN.
This is really excellent advice. As someone who just did a career transition quitting my old job without a new one lined up, I can say that there's no guarantee (and even more-so in this economy) that you will get a new job any time soon. If energy for applying to new jobs is your problem (which I can definitely relate to) tackle that head on.

One note is that, unless it's your dream job, I wouldn't waste your time on cover letters. It's a numbers game so try and get as many applications out as you can and don't be afraid to just mindlessly send out resumes.
That’s not what traditional finance does…
I have asked for aspiration when I was vaccinated, all four times. I’ve had Pfizer and Moderna. It was no problem.

There exist syringes which the injection cannot be aspirated with, but those weren’t used when I was being vaccinated.

—

Strong agreement on the concern about deltoid vasculature.

(I have direct, lived experience with someone at risk of death from a substance going into a capillary which was supposed to stay under the skin on injection. It happens. It’s real. Some doctors will claim it’s “impossible”, which is obviously false when you look into it. The datasheet that came with the injector needles even state that they’re “over 99.5 accurate in delivering a subcutaneous injection”. I forget the exact phrasing. It means that statistically, 1 in 200 injections tends to go into a capillary.)

—

Also, it’s interesting to look into the reasons why aspiration was removed from standard practice. In a nutshell, it’s because of two things:

1: Some syringes exist which cannot be aspirated with.

2: Aspiration can be painful for infants and is tricky to perform because they are small and they struggle.

These are the reasons why aspiration was essentially removed from clinical practice. Really. Those are the reasons. It doesn’t make any sense. It’s obviously harmful that aspiration was stopped.

The papers the grandparent post links to are good.
No, the filter is in the hands of everyone who runs a mail server. Gmail et al. run the most centralized spam filters, but anyone running their own MX will almost certainly run their own spam filter as well. Likewise, Mastodon moderation falls to the servers.
The lesson drawn, and a good one as an investor, was the YC advice that start-ups should build stuff for other start-ups.
Drugmakers pulling advertising and doing less advertising in general is a good thing anyway.

So the negatives are definitely overblown.

Any examples you'd like to share?
>Until then we'll have to make do with Twitter, etc for RSS and cobble together our own ad hoc editor networks via awkward emails and/or shared google docs.

Or you can use existing blogware and rss. Plenty of people do use rss still today. Plenty of small and major media websites still offer it. Every few years there's a hn thread something akin to "ask hn: does anyone use rss still" at which point its the most engaged thread on the front page, with nearly all replies either saying that "yes I use it every day," or even "I got to this very thread from an rss feed." Honestly, if you are a blogger and want to select a readership base that has certain characteristics you are interested in (maybe it overlaps with your stereotypical hn user: techie or in the technology industry with more money than the median worker), you should offer an rss feed to capture these readers who might not even bother with platforms like twitter at all.
TIPS are not the everyday investor's product. You need to hold them to maturity to beat inflation - and few people are willing to lock up their money for 5, 10, or 30 years. In major market drawdowns like the ones we've seen, TIPS returns have not done well.

A high yield checking account is a better product for the typical investor - assuming they understand APY and that the yield resets periodically (monthly).
I'd agree, but this is even more subtle, as a sibling comment to yours said: the space is actually smaller. So text rendering should take this rule into account as well. But then you're assuming that you're doing single-language text rendering. Putting the character at writing time still seems like a simpler tradeoff (maybe with editing help like auto-replace or correction).

I can totally see this happening. We haven't solved the Twin Nuclei problem (as Eric Weinstein calls it)

My understanding is that mirror sugar is very expensive, and I could see someone doing the genetic engineering required to produce it.

Thanks for sharing.
Although, according to Matt Levine who writes Money Matters, that can sometimes be a feature instead of a bug whereby private firms are better able to ride bad market conditions than public firms are.

In some cases you could see it being positive not having your stock price drop everytime the Fed announces a new rate increase or jump everytime they don't (or etc etc with other events) if your primary goal is to continue at a steady pace to achieve some goal.
>may be privy to company secrets if I had to write some sensitive company memos.

This is the thing that has blown me away as I've watch our privacy get flushed down the drain. When a handful of corps (not to mention Govt. TLAs) have access to everyone's data and comms, doesn't that enable them to spot and mitigate any possible disruptions to their business by upstarts?
how is it a "nightmare scenario"? it's not ideal, but it doesn't sound bad (there are other browsers, workarounds, etc. it's not like these sites are forever gone because of a ransomware or SSL key exploit, etc)
Agreed about privat equity in general but the UK papers are all owned by media groups I think so no PEs fault here.

The issue is lack of advertising revenue. No local classified adds or local firms. All gone to Facebook.
what should I be looking at in this source? how does it scale? you can scale nuclear/hydro very easily for millions of people .. they inherently scale.

solar does not, you need tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of panels. it does not scale. this seems so self evident. like people are holding their hands over their ears and eyes, ignoring the obvious...
> Is that counting the 1st booster? These policy changes came after the 1st booster.

Yes it is counting any booster after primary 2 doses - which policy changes specifically? Most of these countries have been relatively consistent in their approach to boosters.

I'd say pretty good... there is no slowing of the fire hose of scandal and ruthlessness coming out of that place.
Interesting to not see POTUS there.
"Barbarians Led by Bill Gates" has a good overview of the internal power struggle over their online stagey at this juncture. They largely resisted the wider internet because it was already developed and based around Unix tools and open standards. They saw no commercial value.
"Our first batch of headsets is targeted to early 2023. Preference will be given to Founders Edition units followed by the earliest pre-orders. Our preorder agreement guarantees headsets will ship by EOY 2023."

Latter sentence more likely when phrased as a whole.
How much of this "fake tweet causes a billion dollar drop in market cap" is coincidental? Everyone talks about it like the tweet CAUSED it, but did it really? Especially when the market is already so choppy?

Yes!

Local by default also has the feature/problem of making you look at the scale of the data involved in your query up front, before it's having a 100-1000 req/s hitting it in production. It's harder to pretend this large dependency graph will just magically take care of itself (or worse, be someone else's problem after you've declared victory) when it's staring you in the face.

> "A vaccine requires an antigen. There's no antigen in the mRNA or Adeno-vector vaccines."

That's not what a vaccine is. Vaccines do not "require" an antigen, they "act as" an antigen. Whether they include the antigen directly or a mechanism for producing it doesn't matter. Live-virus vaccines are just a more imprecise version of the technology that powers mRNA vaccines. They're doing the same thing, but more sloppily.

> It injects instructions into your cells to replicate a protein, that's gene therapy.

Again, you don't understand the term. "Gene therapy" involves actually changing the DNA housed in the nucleus in your cells. mRNA vaccines can't do that.

This is also how every virus, including COVID works. "Injected into cells" is imprecise terminology that makes it sound like it's doing something novel that will persist in your cell after the mRNA decays. That isn't true. The mRNA doesn't become part of your DNA. It eventually decays and becomes useless. Until then, mechanisms within the cell use it to produce the protein - one of the same proteins COVID produces when you are sick with it.

If you are scared of this mechanism of action, you should be downright terrified of ever getting a viral infection, or any vaccine at all, or really just living in the world. Real viruses do the exact same thing, except some of them (like retroviruses) also alter your DNA. The human genome is littered with the genes for viruses that wormed their way in over time.

mRNA vaccines are just doing the same thing the virus already does, but in a more controlled, less dangerous way, and obviously without viral replication in the host.

But, again, the whole point of my original comment is that none of this will matter to you, most likely. I suspect you will keep believing false things about these vaccines which justify your position that you don't want to take them. Hopefully this information makes some difference to someone else.

Anyway, I think this is enough back-and-forth with you; between this and the "Marxist-level thinking" comment it's pretty clear there's nothing to gain by this anymore.
I like the many possibilities here of

1. apple shipped a feature for walmart causing their browser to crash

2. apple shipped walmart code in their browser which crashed

3. apple shipped walmart plugin in their browser and then apple made a breaking change which crashed

3rd one is my favorite because it's the most dysfunctional
My guess is Elon Musk will sell Twitter at a loss within a year.
I like the autocomplete from my bookmarks and history. What's mind boggling is how slow it is (on Firefox on a beefy PC + SSD + Windows)
> > Was I wrong about something ?

> Extremely.

Can you concisely explain this without writing a book obfuscating your arguments..?

> You can't start a breeder reactor without fissile material

Who said otherwise? We stopped the breeder reactor journey mostly because fuel is so cheap. This will become more relevant over time, if necessary, due to natural market forces. dude, what? stop trying to obfuscate the obvious..
What I understand based on a study posted here is the vaccine reduces your bodies ability to reactive and after 9 months the vaccine's preventive properties disappear making you more likely to get sick. The more shots the worse the affect.
Where do you suppose the term comes from?

That's a pretty huge claim to make without any sort of evidence. Bill Campbell had an enormous impact on the Valley and a stellar reputation as a coach.
Seems pretty unlikely that this fake tweet affected the company's stock. It's odd this reporting has survived.

Other similar companies that are not in the Insulin business in any way moved down by about the same amount at the same time. Eli Lilly's stock has mostly gone back up. Also the timing is off, the stock moved after open the following day, after other news was announced and not in line with the timing of the tweet's creation or growth in impressions.
Although it wasn't vaccine related, my wife had a similar bill for a similar reason and I learned a couple things:

They may be saying the hospital or some provider within it was out of network, challenge this on the grounds it was an emergency. Challenge everything on the grounds that it was an emergency.

We had excellent grounds to challenge a few of the charges from the hospital (clear billing mistakes), but it never got to the point of evidence. We just called to argue and they instantly dropped them. I would strongly advise just calling and complaining and seeing what that gets you.

Many hospitals offer interest/fee free installment plans, you just have to ask.

I am, by nature, a mild mannered (perhaps even meek) person, but let me tell you that just doesn't work with hospitals and insurers. Their process requires you to take an adversarial/demanding role with them otherwise you will not just get billed unnecessarily but also not receive all the care you are entitled to.
It started with the kids wanting a specific game that they saw in a hotel somewhere but was bespoke. So we tried recreating it. Generally 2D things are relatively simple, and if you can get away with using the built-in physics system then even more so.

I'm not sure how much direct feedback I can give but splitting up art and programming (oldest sits next to me and gives me instructions) is quite fun. What makes Godot particularly fun at this is that you can poke around in the inspector as the game is running for fast iterations and changes.
"First gas for 3073 miles" would be a funny road sign as well.
For me, it was "Behavior Trees in Robotics and AI: an introduction"

What conceptually helped me out was the idea that behavior trees (BTs) are hierarchical finite state machines (HFSMs). I read that and thought "woah!"

I've been fascinated by behavior trees ever since I learned that they were a big thing in Halo. It's charming to me to think that video games are able to help out in robotics, as the book pontificates on briefly.
I think the cost solves this issue. It would be annoying if there were lots of fake street signs. Many people must get the idea to put up a random sign for something that doesn't exist, and more would upon seeing such signs, but very few people are willing to pay a thousand dollars a year for the joke.
>Go read @bitfinex'ed 's Twitter account. He's been exposing tether / iFinex / Bitfinex / Alameda / FTX and SBF as frauds since the very beginning.

Seems like the account trashes mainly Tether/Bitfinex, but also whatever other crypto company shows up in the news (eg. FTX, Binance, or coinbase). If you trash everything, of course you're going to turn out to be the guy who was right "since the very beginning". It doesn't mean that you're actually a good source or anything.

For instance, I scrolled all the way to the bottom (to escape all the recent FTX tweets), and found a retweet[1] portraying FTX as some sort of predatory lender and how "SBF HAS ACTUALLY RISKED LITTLE OR NOTHING", which we now know is the opposite of what happened (matt levine says that the probably lost money bailing all those companies out).

Because the battery is what should be driving the value of the EV for me, the customer.

When the battery starts losing capacity, a larger battery will still have more miles, for longer, than a smaller one. The length of the trip has nothing to do with it, btw, only the total amount of miles driven in the expected lifetime of the vehicle.

The second biggest cost factor in an EV is the electric drivetrain.

As a customer, I want the manufacturer to spend the most amount of money on the parts of the car that get me from point A to point B (which are battery and drivetrain), not something frivolous like a $5000 car seat, when a $500 one is 99% as good.

The recent crypto downturn has been unrelenting and deep: It's totally plausible they just thought they were the kind of geniuses who could spot the bottom of the market and quickly bled through all the money

Stretch it as far as you can, take some time off before you call it quits. Worse comes to worst, at least you'll have a place to return to. Second, when looking for work it looks spectacularly better if you're currently employed and looking to leave the place.
Fielmann is great. The process of getting glasses there is quite streamlined. Their Null Tarif glasses are really cheap.

They also offer polycarbonate lenses - blender plastic. I pay extra for that because I like riding a motorcycle with the visor up. They just paid for themselves this month: there's a big dent right in front of my retina from a rock thrown by another vehicle.
> Playstation 5 Memory 16 GB GDDR6, 512 MB DDR4 RAM (for background tasks).

I am an AAA PC Gamer, but why are PC games requiring 16GB of System Memory minimum on top of 8 to 16GB of GPU Memory?

And the problem is, again as I have stated for nearly a decade. The Cost of memory per GB aren't dropping much.
I worked at a mobile commerce startup in Helsinki in the late 90s and I remember seeing some of these in the hands of business acquaintances. It just amazes me that Nokia cranked out so many oddball designs and that basically they all disappeared without a trace. I wonder if any of them actually were seriously studied by academics for their UIs.
The vast majority of our waking hours are spent pondering things that are not in the least bit real like this.
Just memes that only humans are aware of and believe in.

This airport is as real as a song, as santa, as a country, a law, the value of money, words.

In fact, an overwhelming majority of things that we generally perceive to be real are only things that exist in the shared consciousness of human beings.
The only difference between santa and a law is just how strongly people believe in and how many people willingly support the latter.

But santa and laws are of the exact same category of made up ideas that we choose to believe in and that influence our group behaviour.

Some things do exist, like the combination of materials that make up buildings that we inhabit.

But their meaning and purpose and ownership and the reasons we enter them and the vast majority of what buildings mean to us aren't in the least bit real.

I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to find out that ant and bee colonies also share their own memes that help structure their societies.
They don't charge a fee for me. And we disabled the wifi part of it and just have Eero do everything.

I feel like part of the issue is not as much that typechecking is slow, but that at runtime type checking "doesn't matter". I think a lot of people would like to see the Stage 1 Type Annotations proposal [1] move forward where JS would allow and ignore type annotations at runtime and even "type stripping" disappears at runtime for TS files.

It doesn't matter how fast a type checker is at that point at runtime.

The only reason to bring back type checking at runtime would be if V8 et al ever also started using type hints as JIT hints and you want to triple check you are sending the right type hints and not accidentally stomping on your own runtime performance. (Which is intentionally not in that Stage 1 proposal mind you: no one is expecting runtime type hints in the near future.)

I'm seeing 72.4 from your source (last updated just over a month ago) vs 74% from the NYT. I'm guessing your source is just slightly older?

+1.6% in the past month seems reasonable to me
While I’ve just started reading it, Casey Newton’s “Platformer” newsletter seems like genuinely informed coverage of the tech industry. Stratechery is focused more on the business side, so they’re not identical, but I do think Thompson can be a little more blinded by his own biases—his analyses are often of the “clearly, [thing X] happened because of [theme I keep returning to],” and as entertaining as his articles are, they’re starting to feel a bit like cork boards covered with index cards and colored twine, where all the links are to things he’s written previously.

(Disclosure: I’m a Stratechery subscriber over the last few years considering dropping down to a membership only for the twice-weekly Dithering podcast.)
I wonder if there was anyone who knew this and knew enough to force knowledge on everyone. Binance's FTT-USDT linear perp would have minted if you knew and could advertise that to the world. And considering the amount you could have minted, you could have backed account hard with hella USDT. For that kind of information, no way you're getting it for free.

You're going to get that as late as possible after someone has sold hella FTT-USDT perps and stood enough USDT there to survive funding fee for a few weeks.
I would guess it's not that simple.

People's reaction are varied, this tweet actually resonates with people's beliefs much more strongly than what you might expect. For a lot of people, medicine that you need to continue living should be free. So I would say when this went viral, people at the very least go: "hmm...".

Couple that with reactions from politicians and suddenly you find yourself in a situation where the price of insulin is once again being questioned.

So imo, it's not just a funny tweet but more like a conversation starter and so it absolutely makes sense to me why this would be reflected in the stock price of insulin makers as a whole.
