I mean, they're a mess of "we're gonna guess which...this year", which seems really un-amusing - why can't they produce a series of shots that cover all the variants that they have any idea might be circulating, if they're so dangerous? We have to assume it's "because they're making a calculated risk assessment, weighing the benefits against the cost".

If they guess right, and you get one, and you're exposed sufficiently to be infected, then they could make your infection less unpleasant (death is, after all, the worst case and unpleasant).

"I never get sick" is rolling dice. So is getting a flu shot, but in a different way. In the end, people still have to have the right to make those decisions for themselves (same weighing benefits against costs), with the understanding that if they get something bad enough (not that Ebola is that common in the US, or that there's a vaccine) they might not be savable and/or might be locked in a box to prevent risk to other people.
In other words, no.

> I remember a professor who blamed natural disasters on some states legalizing gay marriage as punishment from God/nature/etc

It's probably wrong to lump these religious/political views in with the nutjobs, but like you say, it isn't grounded in reality and that's a common thread. You can't reason with them either way, because reason had no part in their views to start with.

I don't think it's unreasonable to question the sanity of anyone who sacrifices the health of themselves or their children just to 'own the libs', but I suspect a lot of it is actually just blind trust in their party who stokes their deepest fears, repeats over and over that the other party is lying/dangerous, and
tells them what they want to hear. I doubt very many are knowingly taking up opposing views out of pure spite for the other team, then coming up with excuses for it, but I guess that could be what's happening subconsciously.

Personally, I see elevating Fabrice Bellard to this godlike figure that nobody else can possibly touch as insulting to the whole rest of the multimedia community who helped maintain ffmpeg. Fabrice didn't touch ffmpeg past the first couple of years, and its infamy and usefulness started long after Fabrice stopped working on it.

Fabrice is extremely smart and talented. But there are plenty of unsung heroes in the multimedia work that should also get plenty of recognition, too.

I think “strongest” refers to the Gates/Buffet bet at the beginning of the article. There is no die you can pick that will give you an advantage over someone who picks second.

Contrast with a scenario where two dice are our normal 1-6 flavor and one die is all 6’s. In that case the all-6 die is stronger because it doesn’t matter which other dies it goes up against.

> Such as the battle for minimum wage, the weekend, the 40 hour work week or the abolition of child labor?

https://www.bls.gov/IAG/TGS/iag70.htm tells me that the average hospitality worker is working 25 hours a week. Did we have another huge fight to bring the 40 hour work week down to 25 hours? I suspect not, or people would talk about that instead of the 40 hour week. That victory looks a bit hollow - much like any successes in pitching a minimum wage of low single digit dollars per hour which has been rubbed out by inflation.

Even the child labour one is interesting - children are unemployable regardless of the law, they don't have the skill, stamina or strength to participate meaningfully in a modern economy. It makes a difference, but this is a ban on something that doesn't make much economic sense to start with. This isn't a meaningful political question these days, the economy has no use for children. Child labour went the way of slavery - any society attempting to utilise it will get steamrollered by capitalists using productive techniques to do an order of magnitude better.
If you had to pick a dice from the three, then your opponent got to pick one to go head to head with you, which one would you pick? C, I assume, since it is clearly the best by "any conventional metric". And yet, you would be likely to lose because your opponent would pick B. Same with any other one of your choices.

The point they are making is that the three dice don't satisfy the transitive property.

A > B and B > C, but A is not > C.
I had a fantastic job while taking care of my Dad towards the end of his life. Emergencies would come up that required me to fly to him (he was in Boston in assisted living and nursing homes, I was in the Bay) and the company and my manager were so understanding about it.

I think a job where it's understood that you may have to take a day off with very little notice, or more, will go a long way to everyone's peace of mind, and I found it was possible to find that.

Ask HN: Advice on my method of Market Research
I'm researching lots of markets right now and I go by a few specific approaches.

1. Figure out places where the target users hang out online. It could be subreddits, facebook groups, discord etc

2. Post on hangout places about the problem I'm trying to solve. This helps me in identifying if the problem actually exists or not and about any existing products. You can actually find a subreddit for almost any niche you want to serve to so problem feedback from reddit is invaluable.

3. After identifying a problem, I do a "Roast My Startup" post where I list out all the pain points and how our features will help in solving. This helps me gauge how badly the product is needed.

4. I create a quick landing page with an email attached and market it to the same places. I get quick data of how many buyers there will be initially.

5. Occasionally, I also do cold outreach if I think a user is a perfect fit.

6. Once I get hands on some very willing target users, I try to schedule a call to learn about the problem in more depth.

I realize that I've read a few books and don't know if there's any gap in my knowledge. Can the gurus here vet the process and point out any wrongdoings. Thanks!!

> The active users of SVN on GitHub clearly aren't going to switch to git

Interesting the passage about the elaborate manhole covers. Just a few days ago there was a thread that showed how these elaborate manhole covers were made:

> Sometimes people will engage in performative angst in comments about companies as a way to signal they are part of the "in-crowd" that totally hates everything corporations have "ruined". These views are not representative of the larger world. It is just them trying to get upvoted because they care about the internet point number.

I feel like this is close to another point that has been hard to learn for me too: often, when talking about something, people care more about the talking than the something, or at least they care more about the talking and less about the something than me. This is not a value judgement, I don't think one way is "better" than the other, it's just one of those things that can cause a lot of trouble when you don't know about it.

It also helps not engaging with people. What usually attracts me when I engage with people that I don't know very well is that they're talking about something that I know, and thus I feel in a way involved in the conversation, I can contribute something. But when I see it through the lens of a group of people that know each others and just happen to talk about something that I know, it's easier to let it go.

As a more general comment, I really appreciate this blog. There's some variety in the subjects, the writing is engaging, sometimes there are cool technical tricks, sometimes interesting insights.
After SpaceX showed how it is possible to build rockets much cheaper than previous ones I attribute the size and complexity of current reactors to outdated mentality by their designers

Setting goals like "maximum efficiency" and trying to bring cost per MWh too low is a self-defeating exercise

Example: designs that require active cooling.
As someone who just went through a 10 day process to get an eSIM on a recent long stay business trip I can relate to the sentiment in this article a bit too much. What I went through was honestly the most ridiculously broken outdated process via the most outdated, user hostile webform I've ever experienced. I am actually concerned for Japan after having been through it because I know many people there go through similar experiences quite often.

I told a colleague and he said he needed to transfer his license plates from another prefecture and he actually cried over how much of his time it took. About 3-4 full days of running around different offices.

I know this sounds mental but I almost felt like I'd end up in seriously dangerous depressive spiral over how much of my time it all sucked up and then I just felt depressed about all the people who work at the national carrier and their lives too. One day I was on the phone from 9am - 8pm trying to get the issues resolved.

I'm not sure when, if, how things will improve for Japan but I hope things change for the better sooner rather than later because there are, like everywhere a lot of remarkable people and things there as well.

Vaccines are treated differently than drugs by insurance, often covered by completely different networks under the same brand. Most people don't know this, because there's no reason for them to encounter the difference, because the situation of having to obtain a vaccine that isn't part of the standard schedules from a pharmacy is very uncommon.
Terra programs are kind of embedded in Lua, you can't separate the two. So to be very precise: Terra has metaprogramming done via Lua at compile-time, with Terra types being Lua values you can pass around, transform, return etc. in the metaprogramming "layer" of the Terra program.

In Zig, you do the metaprogramming in Zig itself, but you're also limited somewhat as you can only use the comptime "layer" of the program. In my mind, it's very similar.

Codepen is certainly part of it. Lots of boxes with nothing inside but centered text saying things like "See the Pen Spooky Boo! by Will Boyd (@lonekorean) on CodePen."

I think there's a security problem with this command.

I've become a big fan of the /r/combatfootage subreddit since the war started and every time there's an anti-air rocket video there's a big discussion about the utility of sending a $1 million S300 anti-air rocket to take down a $100-250k Iranian kamikaze drone. Or a $100k stinger missiles for a surveillance UAV. Or even worse economics once the Patriot system vs anything, etc.

The newbie argument is always to point out how wasteful it is to do that.

But every time people have to point out that Ukraine's power going out for 6hrs or some civilian loss of life or protecting some military deployment zone is way more expensive/valuable in the long run.

Asymmetric warfare always requires a more expensive solution. Until affordable solutions are adapted to the problem.

Japan is the future that we in the West will never get.

After almost 30 years of economic slowdown and demographic crisis Japan is still culturally cohesive, well functioning society with fairly high standards of living shared more or less equally. Not stuck and split by endless internal conflicts and violence..

Also Japanese economy could be divided into productive part (Toyota's etc.) and unproductive (Mom and Pap shop run by 75 year olds). And the former is increasing it's productivity every year.

I don't believe that in 25 years EU, China or US would be nowhere near levels of comfort and stability of today's Japan.
I've always been really curious how this works - from what I remember back in my subversion days, both sides have things which are very hard to represent in one another.

I imagine some of those are overcome by enforcing heuristics (e.g. the branches/tags/trunk hierarchy is mandatory and has business logic run based on it), but I'm really curious if there was ever a more detailed writeup on how it works?
100%! I’m blessed to be in the position that I am. But everything is relative. Some of my colleagues have it so much easier than me, because they went to school at Berkeley, etc. Started off their careers directly at a tier 2 company as interns! Got those sweet RSU’s at 22 years old.
