I am well aware of that. I hosted my parents 50th anniversary in 2021 and had to explain that to my mom when she asked if I'd host my aunts and uncles. (We have a very large family.) This was a few months before I got vaccinated.

From what I understand, the vaccines generally shorten how long a person is infectious.
The problem is, as always, with allocation of resources. If you are running NHS budgets and these treatments cost £1M each(we don't know what price was agreed in the end, but let's say it's £1M per treatment), that's £1.6 billion to treat 1600 kids. £1.6 billion is a lot of money that can save a lot of more than 1600 people if used for other therapies. It's a horrible choice to make of course, but it's the reality of it. Yes of course the government and the country has enough money to afford it - but NHS is given a fixed budget.
In Europe they have these things called planes, it's like a tube you enter and sit for a few hours and once exit you are in a driving distance to American hospitals where you can pay and receive the same treatment as everyone else without nationalised healthcare.

It would be good to distinguish build-and-deploy which Vercel does by default to other pipelines where you might build the artefacts, test them, then the deploy is more of a copying of those

Ask HN: How do you do financial planning?
Do you outsource your financial planning or do you prefer to do it yourself? Is there an AI that can outperform a human financial planner?

My goal is to automate the process of making financial decisions based on user profiles, including age, conservativeness, estimated retirement age, and estimated retirement funds.

The whole problem of {user profile, context, set of possible actions} -> {action} seems doable to me.

For example, if I am confronted with a new concept like an RRSP (US eq of 401K) loan, I would like an app that can calculate whether it's worth taking the loan based on the potential profit and tax benefits. Or I have a line of credit offer. Can I make profit from it?

Grapefruit and Salt: The Science Behind This Unlikely Power Couple (2016)
I think where the founders got it wrong is not expecting the population to be so ignorant and easily swayable. For instance, school voucher measures, which would benefit so many people, tend to get shut down due to lobbying efforts from rich and powerful teacher's unions: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffreydorfman/2016/11/13/teach...

If people were wiser and did their research better, these kinds of campaigns would be ineffective and the rich would lose their sway.

The founders also probably didn't expect our government to grow so large and so corrupt. The richest and most corrupt entity in the United States is the government itself. The vast majority of the government is not even beholden to people at all in any way, shape, or form. This includes the tens of thousands of employees in the federal bureaucracies, as well as organizations like teacher's unions who are funded indirectly by tax dollars. Many, if not all, monopolies today are also artificially created by government policy, allowing for an unholy union of corporations and the government.

Aren't all philosophical contributions made by asking a question?
Upper management – employee productivity has gone way down in the last couple of years.

Employees – yikes, sounds like we should do something about that. Can you tell us how you are measuring productivity? Is shipping velocity slower? Is our revenue lower than projected? Maybe we need to adjust priorities or roadmaps? Let's come up with a plan to make sensible product and process changes that will help us better hit our targets.

Management – ...

Employees – can we even say for sure that productivity is down?

Management – we can, trust us.

Employees – ok, what can we do about it?

Management – 10% of you are fired.

Employees – that will just make the remaining people less productive.

Management – and everyone has to come in to the office 3 days a week.

Employees – but we were hired as fully remote. Most of us don't even live near an office. What will this accomplish?

Management – this will fix all our problems, trust us.

Employees – but what problems are we trying to fix?

The worst part of this is that a year later these companies will magically declare that all employees are 2.37x more productive now, and WFH was always a mistake. The corporate world/media will eat it up, and so office culture will get even more entrenched.
We treat all sorts of addictions and unhealthy relationships with various things as things not entirely in a person's control. Why not an unhealthy relationship with food?

I like reminding people that an alcoholic can abstain completely with no negative effects. People addicted to various drugs can abstain with no negative effects. Same is true for just about every other addiction and/or unhealthy relationship.

Except food. You have to eat. You have to face your temptations every day. Be mindful of your unhealthy relationship every day. Be responsible for consuming moderately in the face of your addiction every day.

And instead, we treat these people with scorn for not being able to do what others find easy. Should I mock alcoholics because I'm able to drink responsibly? Mock drug addicts? Gambling addicts? etc? Why am I the asshole for mocking those groups, but not the asshole for mocking people with food addictions?

I apologize in advance if what follows is written badly, but the topic is touchy and I have to write defensively.

Assuming IQ measures what we call intelligence (which is a big assumption on which I have no particular position), it would stand to reason that high-IQ people would move up the income bracket scale at a higher rate than they would move down and vice-versa.

If that is true, then the eigenvector of the transition matrix would skew towards the top bracket.

I am not claiming that this is true, but only that the chain of reasoning holds, and therefore this qualifies as a self-consistent, falsifiable statement.

Which were already sold off, apparently. So I'm ignoring them in this calculation, as an offset against the purchasing price, to make it a pure matter of dollars per share of apple.

Clearly not enough of a factor if they're buying more.

> price targets, time horizons, and Berkshire’s own internal financial modeling.

How do those do more than tell you what the stock is worth? I'm talking about the output of those calculations, and what you should do with it based on where it relates to the current price.

> Is it because you’re forgetting that they acquired these assets by purchasing another company?

I'm not forgetting that. I'm saying that if a big company was acquired "much cheaper" than its assets, then surely other entities should have been bidding on it, driving up the price until it's close to the value of the assets.

Let's pretend Berkshire had sold the AAPL too. That would mean they bought a company, immediately sold off "everything but AAPL" for one pile of money, immediately sold off AAPL for another pile of money, and ended up making a big profit. That doesn't make sense. Who sold it to them for such a large loss instead of shopping around?
Currently used cars are 'that' significantly cheaper than new. Add in things like interest rates on used being higher than new, and that new cars typically have very long warranties on major components and we're suddenly into the 'Boots Theory' of Socioeconomic Unfairness.

That's such a reductive, dismissive take on the issue it's actually offensive towards everyone in this country trying to make the healthcare system work. The government isn't ran by some cartoon villains, and the resources at NHS's disposal are finite - I certainly don't envy anyone whose job it is to make sure they are allocated in the most efficient way that also saves the most lives.

This would surprise me. Being fit and muscular is a sign that you are wealthy enough to spend time exercising and researching how to exercise, and/or have a trainer.

Being able to control your diet is cool, but what is even cooler is being able to go for an 8K run and then eating whatever you want.

Oh, yeah, it's a combination of safety changes and shape-optimization for fuel efficiency. I didn't say it was bad, just that it's less-pleasant to go on a lazy Sunday drive in a modern car than it was in cars back when taking an aimless drive was a fairly common leisure activity.

I've been in some of those older cars more recently and yeah, they're just big and feel very open—and, anyway, these cars' being common pre-dates my childhood; though, even my sporty late-90s high school sedan felt more open than newer cars, because it was, due to all those safety changes—better visibility, less of a feeling of the car's interior trying to crush in toward you—and it wasn't a spacious-interior car for the time.
> Wow… instead of a lifesaving cure they recommend the treatment of the symptoms until the kid dies because it’s cheaper.

That's the same sort of ethical calculus that goes into deciding the distribution of any life-saving resources.

We can always spend more (resources/social capital) to save more lives/years of life. How do you decide where that line gets drawn?

Most medical systems decide it by looking at the cost of treatment (Dollars, organs, risks), and quantifying years of quality life gained. If you'd like that bar raised, increase the tax rate/insurance costs.

'Save every life at any cost' is not compatible with a world where you have decide whether your budget goes on a low-ROI, or a high-ROI intervention. 'First come-first-serve' is not compatible with a world where you are optimizing for overall positive outcomes.

Do you have any alternative guiding principle for where money in the healthcare system should be spent?

You failed to meet your own bar, which isn't surprising. Yes, pretty much all of human conversation requires context and inference. That's not "pedantic nonsense".

> It's obvious you are digging into meaningless topics for the purposes of trolling.

I'm not the one defending a comment that boils down to "yeah well, you have no idea how recruiting works and probably aren't good enough for Amazon anyway".

My position in this thread boils down to two things:

1) The original comment was a pretty banal and run of the mill comment that did not call for belittling the commenters worldliness or skill set. At worst it called for a down-vote.

2) Comparing working at Amazon to dating an A-list celebrity is a poor analogy for reasons including but not limited to:

* Actions taken by the celebrity vs Amazon

* The differences in exclusivity of the two

* The clear paths available to working at Amazon vs dating the celebrity

* The number of users in the forum known to do one vs the other.

Such power is already vested in undemocratically governed private insurance companies, no? I can’t imagine any health insurance plan would have covered this treatment.
Yes we know that.
5 why's refers (afaik) to the depth of the why tree. If the first why has 3 answers, then you ask why 3 more times to each answer (n = 4, depth = 2)

If each of those 3 whys have 2 answers, you would ask why 6 more times (n=10, depth = 3)

If each of those whys have 3 answers, we would need to ask why a further 18 times! (N=28, depth = 4)

That is leaving out the last depth, but suffice to say there are a lot more than just 5 questions. It seems rare for any system where the cause and effect tree is linear. Hence, 5 whys is meant to be very holistic, not just deep.
What sort of regulation? Make it cheaper by x% per year or we stop using it? Doesn't sound that dissimilar to "make it cheaper than the total cost of the current treatment or we won't use it".
That’s a choice you made. I do hope they open it up though because they will make a ton of money and use that to expand the network even more.
But....they can? You can give someone else the power to vote on your behalf if you cannot do it yourself. Unless you mean that if someone is literally unable to make any decisions by themselves their caretaker should be able to vote on their behalf how they think this person would vote? That doesn't strike me as a very reasonable system, you can't know how someone would vote unless they tell you, and to assume you can or should know is irresponsible.

OpenSCAD is completely the wrong tool for the job. You want a graphical parametric modeller. The only vaguely decent FOSS one is SolveSpace. It's a bit lacking for actual CAD (no fillets!) but it works fine for 2D layout.

I have actually used it for that (actually I did full 3D modelling of part of my house) and it worked ok, however I would say that measuring things with a laser and copying them into CAD is not a very accurate way to do things.

You will end up with large accumulated errors, and most houses are not as square as you think they are.

I haven't ever used one but I suspect those phone based AR measurement apps have a good chance of being more accurate.
That certainly makes sense for some things, but for taxes it seems surprising that the political capital of creating 10000 jobs is more than the political capital of reducing the stress of filing taxes, saving citizens significant amounts of money on tax services, etc.
It's sad if you really believe that. Too many people in the tech industry have led such sheltered lives that they lack perspective on what happens in the real world. At a bare minimum every adult should know how to unload and render safe a firearm.
> Replace them frequently and have them assemble in a place without outside influence for the duration of decision making, essentially like a jury.

A jury also gets to hear arguments from both the prosecution and the defense. For complex trials this can last weeks/months. Presumably for the "jury" legislature that you propose, you'd want lobbyists/bureaucrats to plead their case. How do you prevent them from being hoodwinked by the lobbyists/bureaucrats? If you think that they shouldn't be able to hear arguments from lobbyists/bureaucrats, how do you prevent them from coming up with absolutely braindead policies like "haha tax cuts/spending go brrr"?
>> Likewise it is physically impossible to maintain organic mass if you consume at a calorie deficit.

Well, this is not an absolute thing. If you reduce your calories your body can sense that, and will reduce your metabolism as well (e.g. reduce your average body temp or other body function). With the reduced metabolism you will probably still keep your original mass. And then we didn't even talk about carb-protein difference, while those still has the same calorie content, their metabolic effect is totally different.

That’s at least interesting.

I don’t think it would work but it’s definitely interesting.

There are lots of plausible explanations for why some of our observations don't match GR predictions. It's been a long time since I studied this stuff so I'm pretty sure I'm way out of date, but dark energy still seems like epicycles to me and I'm not sure it's the Occam's razor explanation either. No, we don't want to abandon GR, but we know it's not the complete theory, and a lot of this stuff might make perfect sense if we have a theory of quantum gravity.

I'm fine with wild speculations like there are new universes inside blackholes that look like white holes to the people inside (or "Big Bangs") and I love to think about all of it, and higher dimensions, and all of that, but I'm just a nerd. I'm not putting it in a journal or a press release or trying to justify funding on the basis of it.
