Probably recency bias, media coverage, and because for the resources it uses (with any source of energy), it’s hard to see it as a better alternative to what exists currently

Agriculture, fossil fuels, transportation and manufacturing for single use products are some of the highest order problems to me.

I saw this video, which illustrates what you pretty much stated:

I actually wish I got the JnJ vaccine (I got the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine last week).

Best general explanation I've seen so far, thanks for posting the link.

Unfortunately, it still completely sidesteps any discussion of the relative risk of a vaccinated person (who is protected from a severe infection themselves) still a) getting infected and b) causing a severe case in someone else who is not yet vaccinated.

So while "efficacy" may not be relevant on one dimension (MY chances of severe infection) it still seems important in another dimension (the chances of ME nonetheless getting infected then giving a severe case to someone else).

I agree. There’s a lot of nuance in color palettes that can lead to changes that are hard to describe.

There’s also something to be said about an expert’s ability to discern the finer details of one version over other versions of the same thing.

How do you test if they're experts?

Seems like you're really trying to defend your point in the comments, but I'd say like you do in other areas of art and design: a portfolio

+1 for Walkable City! For everyone saying that the conclusions in the post are obvious, it apparently wasn't obvious enough that in the US, many cities are built for cars and not people.

Another good book is 'Happy City' although I liked Walkable City more.

this is pretty cool! one thing i would want to see is the classic or 'must do' routes of the destination.

thanks! That is something I'll definitely add at some point if the site ends up becoming popular. Most of that info can be easily found on sites like mountainproject or ukclimbing though so I didn't want to reinvent the wheel.

fyi, your link only goes to the YT homepage

The narrative of what's happening has evolved too.

It wasn't until retail investors were blocked from buying did people perceive it as a class war. Even on HN, the bigger news is about Robinhood and other firms and how they handled the situation.

At this point, anyone still buying and holding is doing so to make a statement about showing it to the suits, which as you said is going to end up poorly.

I'm also fascinated that the number of subscribers to wsb grew from 1.8M to 4.9M in two days and how they're handling it.

The point of the break period is to give yourself time away from your work so by nature I'm not sure how 'productive' you want it to be because any other productive activity requires focus. If you want to avoid moving pictures during your break, the optimization of the time doesn't have to be productive:

- go for a walk (even if its only within your work area)

- talk if you're around someone who also needs a break)

- organize your time/ideas for your next task

- water your plants (if you have any)

- play with your dog/cat (if you have any)

- stretching or some other short spurt of physical activity

- work on a puzzle

- chess

- drawing

- meditate

- nap

Good point regarding productivity.

And that's a good list - I like the walking and stretching ideas a lot.

Chess and drawing too especially the latter since that's taking my eyes off the screen.

I deleted the Instagram app from my phone a while back, but still was stuck browsing on the web version.

More recently, I've had issues logging in via mobile browser so that's helped as another blocker.

Thanks for sharing this.

Given that the coral microbiome has a complex composition, I'd be curious to see how this could offer consistency in measuring coral health across different species.
