This is why so many people find EA annoying. People donated to malaria causes well before EA was a thing, but of course now, without EA, there's nothing.
For young people the risk of death goes from something like 0.1% to 0.01% with the vaccine (just aiming for order of magnitude risks), which isn't a big deal for an individual.

However, when you are talking about populations of 10s of millions in low risk age ranges, it's 10,000's of preventable deaths!

Even if you don't care about the deaths (it's their choice to die; whatever), note that for every death, there are 10-100 long covid cases that are pulling resources from the health care system indefinitely.

The vaccine seems to cut those by about 90% too. Why should we waste tax dollars on medicare and welfare for anti-vaxxers?
How can it break a web standard when this server-side mess of different require(), import(), import "npm:", import ".mjs" does not directly translate to browser code anyways?

Interesting indeed that you can remap whole URLs:

{
"imports": {
"https://www.unpkg.com/vue/dist/vue.runtime.esm.js": "/node_modules/vue/dist/vue.runtime.esm.js"
}
}

"… instead grab the one from the local server."

This will surely result in much power and confused human debuggers;)

Changing import maps will also be a prime target for some class of hacks.
could be thousands of RPC calls ;)

another concrete example I just ran:

is gonna return 3 correct results and then a bunch of gibberish although I specifically requested for the exact term "my-store"
I don't know how to say this clearly enough: It's a Ponzi because you can't buy anything except other currencies with it.

Like sure, you can't steal it from me, but you can sure as hell prevent me from acquiring goods/services with it (Governments all around the world have done an amazing job of that whether they tried to or not), so it's only worth something insomuch as you can turn it into fiat.

And it's only worth what it is in fiat because people believe that in the future it will be able to buy goods and services, despite no evidence that it will be able to do that.
> I should have taken the time to think more critically about Musk’s vision…which doesn’t appear to exist.

OP has no credibility. Musk has made his ultimate goal for Twitter clear to anyone paying attention: he wants to make the “X app” aka Twitter the next WeChat.

Done right it could be his most successful company by far.

(I didn’t say “will” I said “could”)
Isn't that the problem? If you call everything a fraud, is it worth listening to you? Presumably in this case "fraud" refers to some specific instance of intentional deception, and not just some vague idea of "it's fraud because crypto is fraud, because crypto has no value" or whatever.

Given the list of things one can do to prevent the inactivity fee includes the simple "Log in to your account", this fee seems fair to me, especially since they will also be emailing account-holders with enough time that they can take any of the activity actions before being charged.

One would wonder why someone would leave sums of money in an online account without even checking that it still existed at least once a year!
IOW reference counting cannot detect circular garbage.
I don't want to discount what you say as indeed I would have no way to disprove a metaphysical god. On the other hand given that no proof is provided the other way for the existence it seems wasteful to discuss.

Kind of like UFO sighting reports. Lots of people share their believe but no proof manifested and we don't have reason to believe any UFOs would evade detection if there were any. Same with a god.

Climate change on the other hand is undeniably affecting billions of people in ever increasing negative ways. Indeed a colossal waste that we destroy our planet just because we cannot unify our effort and invest in technologies which don't wreck our planet.

Of course it's a huge amount of work given the considerable amount of different chipsets, cameras... but am I dumb to believe there would be a lot less work to upgrade no new generations of the same chipset? Aaand would it be less secure?

if you are going to publicly go after your boss, at least make sure you are right- https://twitter.com/EricFrohnhoefer/status/15921947898012221...

Twitter guy admits rendering the timeline hits well over 200 different microservices, which probably does add up to around 1000 internal requests. He even admits they have 10 years of tech debt and that they need to fix and essentially blames previous leadership for not focusing on performance. Also every request apparently has to do a full round trip to the US data center regardless of location worldwide. Musk really isn't wrong here, Twitter is a mess
When we talk about education, we often describe it as a tool for economic mobility. We tell high school kids to go to college, get a degree, and that is the path to a good career. For adult learners, we advocate that they go back to school, finish that degree, get a master's or a doctorate - easy ways to “get ahead” and enhance their ability to move forward in their careers.

But as the world evolves into a faster-paced and more nimble workplace, the focus has shifted from an emphasis on what degree a potential employee has, to what skills they possess. Those skills are rapidly becoming the employment currency that learners need, because that’s what employers say they’re looking for (81% according to this report agree that “Organisations should hire based on skills rather than degrees”).

Enter alternative credentials - skills-based and short-form learning, such as certificate programs, trade schools and micro-credentials. Rather than being based on a broad curriculum, these skills- and knowledge-based credentials focus on one thing: qualifying the learner for a specific job or certifying skills they possess. Both share the goal of moving an individual from learner to earner.

This raises the question again, and from a different angle, about the perceived value of degrees and whether alternative credentials are the answer when it comes to economic mobility. Here is some information and some concepts to consider.

Thank you, this is constructive. Let me complement with some more details:

Privacy. Messages in a private chat or group should not be visible to the operator or others. This likely necessitates e2ee, but it's possible that some multi-party protocol could protect from malicious operators without going full on e2ee (difficult on web).

Integrity: you don't want rogue operators to be able to falsify content. While you can't stop any website from faking content, you can stop it from propagating by having signatures and verifying them.

Availability: you should be able to post and fetch at all times, which necessitates aggressive caching. Signatures (from above) are useful here, because you can use untrusted storage layers.

Security: how do you prevent an instance operator from stealing your account or posting on your behalf.

Abuse: no system is anywhere near perfect, but the ones that come close are extremely centralized and use fingerprinting and behavior analysis. We probably don't want that, so what else?

Note that all of these are deeply tied into the identity problem. We would really need a form of PKI for real people (but without exposing real world identity). If people actually control their private keys, all of the above is greatly simplified. But even in defi, where custody of your private keys have a HUGE direct monetary value, most people don't want/know/care to set it up. So we have huge challenges.
Well, then how do you explain the discrepancy between all available data and the claims you are making?
"it's not like these foundations can get away with over-paying for goods and services"

It doesn't have to be gross overpayment[1], it could just be funneling the money to companies that benefit friends, family, or people they want to influence or get favors in return.

"I still don't see why this is somehow bad"

It's bad because these billionaires get good PR for giving away money and hero worshiped for being selfless benefactors of the needy, while they might be lining their friends' pockets and maybe themselves, just doing so under the veneer of philanthropy.

Whether these "philanthropic" foundations actually do any good, or how much good they do for all the money spent and all the influence they have because of it is yet another issue that's explored elsewhere in this thread and the many articles that have been written about them.

[1] - though I wouldn't be surprised if some foundations get away with this... whether they get caught depends on a lot of things
You know what, you're right. I just installed Opera for the first time, which includes a usable RSS browser. However, only one out of the OP's list of personal websites had an RSS feed!

Opera has a lot of cool features, BTW! In the first 30 minutes I'm much more impressed than I expected. Kind of incredible you can get such great software for free (if not open source). Of course, that probably counts as a red flag in some rational threat-models...
> "and attended a Spanish table"

I'd be curious to know what this means, it's outside of my experience.
The mRNA vaccines were developed by BioNTech and Moderna, two small and relatively new companies specializing in that technology. BioNTech chose to partner with Pfizer to scale their vaccine production. This may have had some positive impact on the Pfizer brand. In contrast, Moderna chose to take investment and scale their own production.

In either case, people are taking the vaccines because of the physical benefits the vaccines provide, not because of how they feel about the corporate history of the companies producing them.

Once in a while you can find a good Airbnb which you would not find an equal to in the many hotel apps. But over time, more and more legitimate 'homestay' rooms can be listed on real hotel apps.

I'm a hotels.com or booking or agoda user, and I've booked dozens of stays in the last few years. My partner has some hippie fetish which leads her to start with Airbnb in searches for stays. 9 times out of 10, the Airbnb opportunities are far less than they appear to be. Less often, the hotel options are.

The ancient original Airbnb idea was good - someone comes and stays at your place (while you are there), and you make a little extra money while they get a decent place to stay. But unsurprisingly that got corrupted into maximizing profits. Airbnb also recognized early that they could not make $$$ with their original idea, so they pivoted to the broader "take my whole apartment" concept which is the current norm.
Ask HN: Most helpful/useful/interesitng comments and commenters
HN rewards most up-votes to users who have posted interesting articles on the site (it makes sense, as up-voting articles is key to surfacing the best content). However, it's harder to find the users who have made the best comment contributions over time, especially if they have commented as replies to another comment or don't bother to post content as often.

Would it make sense to show the up-vote counts on comments that have some high threshold of outstanding number of up-votes?

Another, even more helpful feature would be to be able to bookmark users we consider thought leaders and see their usernames highlighted when we peruse HN and they've contributed somewhere.

We can already read through all comments made by a person, so this is not a follow feed idea. And the goal is not to do some kind of popularity contest (the up vote points and leader-board already has that). Instead I suggest this to enable all of us on HN to discover who we find most insightful and prioritize/reward more insightful comments as a community (vs just article sharing and relative value of top level-comments to each-other on a thread).

I can easily build a browser extension/bookmark-let to enable all of this as an add-on and proof-of-concept, but I'm suggesting it here, in case HN deems fit to build some or all of it right in and capture the data (Maybe you could prioritize YC applications from the most insightful commenters too.)

I'd say it depends on the company. Silicon Valley likes to promote on impact. So being able to communicate that impact is a valuable skill.
Because it's meant as a safety net, not standard operating procedure.

> I pointed out that "not your keys, not your wallet" is a trite statement that doesn't account for the reality we live in, in which property law is a thing.

So again, you are still interpreting the expression literally?

It doesn't mean that they are not literally your coins if you don't have the keys! Do you understand this?

It means that you can lose the coins forever if you don't have them securely stored yourself.

It's not a literal statement, it's a concise expression that gets used repeatedly to get a very important point across unsuspecting (unexperienced, novice) crypto holders. So it's actually good that it's a trite statement, because it helps to decrease the probability of someone losing money, potentially ruining their lives unexpectedly.

So that the reality is not literally what the expression says is besides the point!

In fact, I've never heard of someone (besides you) that has interpreted this expression literally and actually thought that the expression means that you completely lose the ownership of the coins as soon as you transfer them into a crypto exchange.

But if you want, I'm sure you can propose a better phrasing that has the same viral effect while also being literally true.

Could this have been working around with https://www.jaegertracing.io/? That was one of the requirements at the organization I worked out.

We didn't go as far as to block traffic if the request didn't have a parent span (which included the service name calling it) but if it became a problem I'm sure we could have/would have done that (like 200+ microservices for fintec/banking across like 10-15 teams) and figured out pretty quickly in CAT/UAT/QA environment what wasn't passing a span.
Basically, I have been places where a two person team had 3 Microservices and yet they still wanted to "refactor" it into 5 Microservices in total.
1-4 (and sort of 6 as a result) seem like general hiring struggles, and it's hard to account/adjust for that.

#5 sounds like you have a bad HR team, or don't have the right relationship with them. I've had HR discard good resumes because they were "over-qualified" and try and force me to interview people who aren't qualified, or try and convince me to say that I want someone with a college degree (the compromise was "or equivalent", which basically makes the request for a degree worthless) but ultimately, it seems like you should be able to control your rec more. The quality of recruiters varies wildly, have you tried escalating to get better support? Or maybe it's chicken and egg, because it's been two years without hiring, HR thinks you're the problem and isn't going to put effort into it?

> "...when finding things online was a treasure hunt rather than a simple search query."

I remember my first moments on the web, 1995 or 1996. There was a website, it might have even been disinfo.org, and it had really weird shenanigans like forums for people who (believe they) had been kidnapped by UFOs. I thought it was great! But the second time I logged in, I couldn't find it. So I wrote a nice email to Yahoo asking if they had removed it from their listings, and somebody at Yahoo responded almost immediately with the URL, like this was a normal thing to do. I think about that sometimes, when thinking about the early days of the web.

> It's recommending it across-the-board that I object to.

Early on, the goal was to reach herd immunity while we still had vaccines that were fairly effective at reducing transmission against the variants we had had, before they mutated.

But also, I don't know how familiar you are with gov't messaging. But the more widespread you make a message, the less nuanced you can make it. People at large don't take nuance very well, and people at large are bad at evaluating circumstances. So if you give them a message like "People over the age of 65 should get 3 doses, and people over 30 should get 2 doses, etc." You're going to end up with most of the people not knowing what to do.

To add to that, you have people "doing their own research" who have no idea what the requirements for actual peer-reviewed research is, screaming from the rooftops that you can't trust anything coming out of anyone's mouth. And they will latch onto any piece of nuance and tear it to shreds.

Now, I still think that American institutions have done a bad job communicating, but considering they were undermined at every step of the process, I'm inclined to believe that it's more reasonable for them to give a blanket across-the-board recommendation than it is to destroy their own goal by adding confusion of "nuanced recommendations".

It's not specific to EUA, this is commonly done when a Phase 3 trial shows a clear benefit. Essentially, once you're sure a medicine confers a real benefit, it becomes unethical to deny it to the control branch any longer.
