In agreement with the last part of the article, achievements count more than the number of hours spent in the office. That leads to thinking about what is worth achieving, instead of how to pass time until the workday is over. I wholly disa

Except I don't want any XR device sold by Facebook/Meta, but yeah hopefully all XR devices will see some benefit. Although big corporations are not exactly known for their altruistic nature, see https://news.ycombinator

Only just hearing about LTT Labs now, but it sounds like a great idea. And i see no problem with LTT and their approach to hardware, it is entertaining but make no mistake, that they know what they are talking about. But let's see what

Electric scooters have been heavily regulated where i live, helmet is now required and you have to leave them at designated locations. And a photo upload showing how it was parked is now also required. Oh, and Friday and Saturday between 00

Dang is a key factor in the success of HN, no doubt about it. Another part is the consistent website design, it helps in focusing on the essentials, i.e. the articles and the discussions. And last but not least i try to be the best I can wh

I suppose it's not just dev time on the line, but also the risk of doing the change that is thought to be too high. If I ever get to be a manager I'd go for an idea such as yours. Though I suspect too many managers are too far rem

Still, it's better to be a resource than the next level, which is a cost. I actively try to use people instead of resources in a conversation, have never understood the need to use resources as a word. Could be it's just a relic f

In the financial sector people over process is just not realistic, too much regulation makes sure that will never happen. Independent decision-making is also hard to do, as soon as something requires a budget, you can forget about the indep

Sorry, but the CAPTCHA is probably great at filtering out bots, but in this case it also filters out potential readers.

There is a pretty good and short walkthrough of the XR term on Quora: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-specific-difference-betwee... I have a really hard time seeing everyone would want to walk around with even sunglasses

Some substances will sell without any marketing, such as alcohol and cannabis. As far as controlling sales, i think a regulated market for drugs is required. So am happy to see both the Swiss initiative and also the German initiative for le

This is newsworthy, but among some of the news that shouldn't really be on Hacker News. It's quite clear that Spotify is trying hard to improve public relations as that directly affects their bottom line. And what better way to do

Are there any data you can point to about Omicron killing 50x more people than the flu, that sounds rather high. Perhaps it's due to not being able to tell if Corona is the primary reason for the death. But without more data it's

Maybe not a different reason but a combination of factors. The vaccination share has been almost constant since August 2021. As recommended almost everyone got booster shots the last two months, but that is as much a precaution. I think the

That is so typical behavior from Google, change the rules as you go along. There is no way an unlisted video should be treated as a private video. And it won't be the last time Google changes opt-out, that's for sure.

Am quite sure that this covid mandate will be overturned shortly. In UK a similar mandate for health workers is about to be dropped: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30142420 In Denmark any and all restrictions have bee

Reddit is another example, but it's hit and miss if a subreddit is good quality or not. The difference between HN and Reddit to me is that HN has consistently higher quality comments. Will be interesting to see how down votes will affe

Actually, I'd rather see some progress in housing. As in being able to go into a building, with a different unique experience each time. But perhaps GTA is a bad fit for this kind of innovation.

I was only addressing the situation where nobody is vaccinated and the vaccine is being distributed. With booster shots it should never be an option to shut down society.

by sharken 5y ago
Very true, but if you can delay the inevitable long enough to get a substantial part of the population vaccinated, then there is value in that. However, that strategy fails when you don't have access to the vaccine.

Well, here a recommendation have been the same as "You must do this". Only the legislation does not support using that wording, so recommendation was chosen.

If the majority of people receiving the vaccine are new to the vaccine and from 5-25 years, then you won't see any correlation between vaccination rates and death rates. It's also interesting that lockdowns seem to be a wasted eff

If enough users feel bothered by this i hope Google reconsiders. Don't ever change a users opt-out preference, instead give them information so they can decide on their own. But Google knows very well what happens if they do this - alm

That proverb holds a lot of truth. I would add that treating the company's money as if it is your own also works quite well. Never get too attached to a user story/task is another important lesson. Sometimes a task has to go, even

If a HIV vaccine really is happening, that will really brighten the memory of the last two COVID years. And as always there are some great insights to the inner working of the vaccine, Hacker News doesn't disappoint.

I see your point, here in Europe it's different, since health care is usually free. For me the infinite booster shots, is something that i want to skip, as an informed decision based on available data. That might change further down th
