I think you are mistaken to lump China in those countries. People are constantly underestimating the Chinese relationship with contagion. I guarantee that China would not be able to hide any major covid outbreaks. Word would escape to outsi

Thank you these types of comments are why I frequent HN! Really insightful, first time I came across rollback I had one of those loving CS/SWE moments. So I'm grateful that you're so obliging to my curiosity! Out of interest

I find this hard to conceptualize/unite with the players view of the game - so if an input arrives out of order the engine can essentially just reapply the new adjusted stream of events to correct itself? From a data modelling perspect

Not to pile in on you, but the reality in the UK has been instead that tens of millions have had their lives impacted by hodgepodge restrictions. The economy has had trajectory altering damage. Our younger generations (aka our future and th

I have been splitting my time between a covid-free country and a covid-ridden country and it is very VERY hard to get peers from the so-called "free" nations see how their individualistic obsession with personal rights and privacy

But with housing that argument only works because there is a scarcity to housing and a fixed entry point. People want to live near London/SF/NYC for work and maybe because they like cities but the minimum for a place there is like

Exactly - it's definitely not racism. I do experience "chinese restaurant syndrome" (maybe the name is prejudiced???) when I get dim sum in the UK, US, Canada, sometimes Singapore but rarely in Hong Kong. Stuff like 豉汁蒸排骨 and

I've always enjoyed the duality of Mozart's supposed personality. We will never truly know the person so we can mostly only judge him by his works and boy can he craft a divine sound. But when you apply a personal lens to your o

At this point, at least for me, whatsapp is less "messenger client" and more "private social media". So the usual network effects and userbase arguments apply. I don't see myself dropping whatsapp anytime soon given

>There are plenty of 50-100M pharma startups; they wouldn’t exist if your number was right. Isn't there a selection bias in that the startups that got to 50-100M survived because they were lucky with a candidate treatment. The ones

Yeah when I first saw the betting market for "next president" and Kamala was 1000/1 I dreamt up scenarios of how a Biden win followed by some sudden illness between now and Jan could cause it and it raised an eyebrow over mar

I find it curious that people are so skeptical of China and Vietnam's numbers. A government might be able to hide some percentage points, or even an order of magnitude of the spread. But hiding more than that is pretty impossible in th

I don't really agree with your stance but I see you've been downvoted and so I have upvoted you. I don't think your viewpoint should be censored by being downvoted into deletion as I am seeing your opinion mirrored by friends

It's good that you can find freedom in cycling, tho the coach in me wants to challenge you to see whether you can find peace and freedom in a very leisurely stroll. After all, if you're not going anywhere, what is the rush?

I don't want to commit to an answer but want to hear the tone again. I guess there's an argument to the game deliberately pushing to only hearing it once, on the other hand.
