The coupling to depression is unsurprising. I don't think I know anyone with long term pain (even under management) who isn't battling the black dog.

So a trivial take away is that for above 15% increase in self reporting as long-term sick, pre- to post-covid, we've also scored increased needs for mental health treatment alongside debilitating multiple symptom diseases and musculo-skeletal pain.

Twice the cost burdens compared to simple illness increase because longterm.

* This might sound trite, but you will make the most money when your company has lots of money. If your company is struggling or its industry is going through a cyclical slowdown, you will typically make less than at a flush firm or in a booming industry, even if you are a top performer. Tactically switching industries midway through my career led me to significantly higher comp longer term (several multiples).
* Become indispensable in the key areas that are most highly correlated with company success. I mean improving the company's bottom line, not working more hours than anyone else. Be focused and direct. These priorities are often broadcast by ownership/the executive team, but sometimes the message gets lost in translation by middle management. Do these things with visibility and measure the difference you've contributed. If your job isn't in the critical path or your job doesn't have enough transparency, move on.
* If you don't have equity, it's not your company. Don't make the mistake of sacrificing your mental or physical health for your company's sake. It's never worth it. Having 'moral' equity instead of real equity is an awful feeling. Instead of holding out, moving on was always the right call for me.

Immunocompromised people die from opportunistic infections that don't normally cause illness at all. They would acquire immunocompromised status from HIV. Hence nobody would die "from AIDS", they would die from complications with the annual flu. They would be dead and still be HIV positive.

That's why you haven't seen your goal because you have an unfalsifiable viewpoint where there is no competing information to alter your view because it is an impossible standard. AZT has bad side effects and is antiquated technology. Okay. Yes, there was a lot of hysteria in the 1980s and pharma companies aren’t held accountable for their role in that. There is also competing information that can be reproduced easily regarding HIV to immunocompromised status and opportunistic infections killing people.

I would implore you to look at the things that are substantiated. In the 21st century, there are now drugs that keep your t-cell count high, such as PrEP. These aren't killing people and prevents progression to immunocompromised status, it also prevents spread of HIV.

I'm sorry you'll never get to your resolution about drugs from the 1980s, but there is nothing to build upon with that information and you’re extrapolating from a position thats been a dead end for a long time, in comparison to what we can build upon with successfully protecting t-cells.

Show HN: Explore fun and Noteworthy flights with airgeek
Being an aviation enthusiast and airplane spotter/photographer for years, I have been looking for a tool that can tell me some fun/spot-worthy aircrafts in real-time or in advance. I have relied on a combination of FlightRadar24 + FlightAware + other websites and got tired. So I finally decided to build a simpler tool myself.
Introducing (http://airgeek.link). Simply input a specific time and airport, and instantly access a curated list of “fun” and noteworthy aircrafts. As I built the tool, I got intrigued by other aviation random facts so I expanded the toolbox to discover a flight's past gates and explore all canceled flight of an airport.

The journey doesn't stop here. My future feature list is long! Visit the "(http://airgeek.link/next)" page for a list of upcoming features. Your feedback is invaluable as I strive to enhance (http://airgeek.link) for everyone.

From what I understand of the state of modeling here, it's like verifying primes. It's relatively easy to verify whether a specific number is prime or not, but very difficult to generate a new one. Likewise if you know the specific structure of a material, we can model / characterize it but the search space is so large that it's beyond our capabilities to find new candidates.
I doubt it. The alarmists have never been right about global warming. Even back when it was called global cooling. Nor about peak oil. Nor about the ozone. Nor about HIV. Nor about covid.

Is new orleans underwater yet? I remember how concerned the alarmists were about new orleans. The levee is holding?

Also, the article is from 2022. The eruption occurred in jan 2022. And they only expected it to affect the climate for 'the months to come'. So, no reason to be alarmed now more than 1.5 years after the eruption.

Other than the iPhone and the ear pods, I can't think of a single Apple device that doesn't have USB-C. The Macs all have it, beats pro have it, homepod has it, even the Apple TV has a USB-C port.

I'm sure the universe of people who only have those two devices and don't have friends that own literally any other devices will be distraught that they have to add a $5 cable to their next phone purchase, but I don't feel very bad for them. Would you prefer it if the 15 had two ports instead?

It would seem unlikely that all sick people would move just for one perk. Most people do not take moving as a light decision.

Also most people that actually do move would likely have jobs with taxable wages that helps to subsidize things.

I'd be interested in the other direction: I accidentally stumbled into a position where I get to do packaging work, which is one of my favorite parts of the job. But like... that was an accident.

You sacrifice your desire for it. Since you can not have everything you want, you need to decide what trade-offs are acceptable to you. It is essentialy the same as what you said: You have to decide what cons you are willing to put up with.

I think the author's framing is correct, because the alternative is wanting everything/perfection, which is impossible.

The very system of contractors vs part time vs full time getting different levels of benefits is designed to avail employers of paying their employees benefit. The end to the loophole is simply ending these arbitrary classifications and it won’t happen without a serious fight because why would employers give up their right to hire employees at a discount? The modern day purpose of the system is to allow employers to misclassify their employees for the purpose of stealing their wages.
In a practical sense (but not a legal sense), being a user of the software, and being a customer of the company providing the software that you entered into a contract with and paid, are the same thing.
>There does not exist a website that is better WITH ads.

Ads can fund the development of the site, the services of the site, and the content on the site. The amount of additional value that the site is able to provide users is much more than the value that gets taken away by including ads. I haven't even mentioned how the ability of users to advertise things on the web is also very useful.

>Ads are beneficial to adtech and companies with ad spend.

It's hard to imagine how they going to achieve this given that ultimately it's controlled by the closed source baseband code that's not written by Google.
I think you are spot on the money with your assessment. Describing his political views as questionable is putting it lightly. I read through some of his writings many years back when trying to understand the neoreactionary movement. His essays are largely creative writing exercises, which typically meander about the subject at hand. Some of that may have been to deflect criticism for his actual views. Eventually, he said the quiet part out loud:

> It should be obvious that, although I am not a white nationalist, I am not exactly allergic to the stuff.

His projects should probably be viewed through the lens of what he is trying to accomplish more generally.

They haven’t actually tried it. The last time it was yanked from being voted on because politicians make promises to get elected and are then told by their donors not to dip into their profit pools.

But in many ways California already has it if you qualify based on income (Medi-Cal / Medicaid).

It actually works well which is why it won’t be made available to everyone. Stock prices and profit margins would drop too much.
Similar approach seems to have worked well for Java. There are long term releases like versions 8,11,17 and everything in between are kind of catch up releases with short term support cycle. Enterprises typically adopt LTS releases while enthusiasts/startups/developers would tinker with other short-term releases and give valuable feedback back to the community.
Arguing for more-descriptive titles (and against shitty ones) is always good.

Meanwhile, "as per" is redundant.

> Nobody’s real brain wallets are being hacked! It’s just left over traces from someone running aome testing in early days of bitcoin.

I've talked to a LOT of real people who's real brainwallets were hacked. Certainly there is also some 'testing' but that doesn't change the fact that there have been real and substantial losses.

Brainwallets are very dangerous.

A brainwallet is the same thing as using a user provided password to secure a high value system that has an unsalted and public password hash database. This is a negligent practice. In the corporate world it wouldn't be shocking to learn that a security engineer was instantly fired for implementing such a practice.

Good security advice results in practical security even if the user uses the system less than perfectly. Attacker-originated security "advice" provides security only under unrealistic perfect use. Telling people to use brainwallets is like recommending one-time-pad encryption. In practice the security will be fragile if not outright broken though in theory with it may go okay sometimes.

Correct usage would require secure mechanically generated uniformly random seed phrases with a hundred plus bits of entropy. That isn't generally what people do in practice and the few who have often have issues with retention of the string being inevitably very poor, causing them to lose the funds by forgetting (esp after getting a fever). (Of course, if they're going to write it down and they didn't generate it themselves then it's not something anyone should be calling a brainwallet anymore.)

The person who originated the practice and created the first "brainwallet" site did exactly what you're doing: insisted that it was secure, and insisted that people who lost their funds deserved it. Are you also doing what he did? stealing the funds of the deserving victims yourself?

Eventually taking the weak brainwallets he talked people into creating wasn't enough: He lost his bitcoin (I think via gambling but maybe an exchange hack), whined he was broke for a while, and whined that not many people were making hackable brainwallets, then added a more explicit vulnerability to the site. He vanished after it was caught.

I am not an Urbit enthusiast but I did spend some time back in 2015 trying to grok their docs. So I was able to read this doc successfully. (It is exceptionally well written for such an obscure topic, one which is often intentionally obfuscated.)

Urbit terminology is obscure, probably intentionally so. (As an example, Urbit picked 0 = true and 1 = false, just because it's different than what you're used to.)

Nock is a virtual machine that defines only a few primitives. If I recall correctly, there is no "add," only +1. If you want to add 2, run +1 twice. The intent is that the VM is so impossibly simple that there is nothing to add. Just express whatever new semantics you want in terms of the frozen core.

A "jet" is a JIT-compiled version of a Nock expression, via pattern matching. The expectation is that the Nock interpreter will notice common patterns and execute some identical, but faster, computation under the hood to evaluate a jet. To continue the example, repeated application of "increment" could be lowered to the machine's add instruction. (However, I was under the impression that the pattern matching happened automatically, but it apparently involves Nock primitive 11, which is... less elegant. Sounds like Plunder gets this part right.)

Hoon is a small language on top of Nock ("typed Nock" if you like, but I understand that also macro-expands to pure Nock). I find it absolutely impossible to read because it makes extensive use of sigils ("runes"). A gate is a Hoon function. An arm is basically a member method or namespace member function. You get the idea.

The article does a good job of using the more-standard term to describe the remaining pieces: arvo (kernel), vane (driver), etc. Since Urbit is so opinionated on these, my prediction is that eventually someone is going to steal one or two Urbit terms to describe something another system does - probably "jet" if I had to guess - and that will be Urbit's ultimate legacy.
