As I step into an elevator, I often think about the algorithm that's driving it. Now I know what they are! Thanks!
I’m hoping to get them to Mayo but they are currently in Istanbul. Thank you much for your insights.
Thank you much for the insights. His initial treatment for leukemia was at the kinder Clinic in Munich. They were very good. I will suggest the approach you mentioned here.
Im happy to hear that your wife survived. It is a very difficult issue.

A close family friend’s 14 year old son was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor (following successful AL Leukemia treatment). I would like to help them find the best specialist in the world for his condition. If you have any tips, I would appreciate them.

I tried to download Adlock via a webpage loaded in Chrome and I noticed there was no download button. It seemed like bad design, but then I went to the same webpage on Safari and noticed that the download button was prominently positioned on the same page multiple times (https://adlock.com/adlock-for-macos/). Do you think this is due to a design issue on the website, or Google actively making...

I recently stayed in a hostel in mexico and met a bunch of very cool people who were all open to meeting people (as travelers often are). I still rented a private room but the environment of shared amenities (even bathrooms) and the fact that everyone is a traveler tends to lead to good interactions. So… try traveling and staying at a shared place (not Airbnb or hotel).
I appreciate the criticism and tend to mostly agree. I do have much more knowledge than your average Joe on the topic (MPH plus worked full time/still part time on pandemic response for an international NGO) but I’m no expert. But nonetheless, my writing on COVID for them (much different than my writing I posted here) is presented to all of their donors/other international agencies.
I’m more focused on psychology/philosophy at the moment, and intend to stay in that arena for the most part.
I suppose just throwing it up there is the way? I guess I’d like to be transparent that I am the author and looking for feedback.
Thanks. I’m on here quite a lot for the past few years. Do you think the “show HN” is appropriate for things I’ve written? It seems it is typically used for products.

I’m a product manager who frequents hacker news. I typically write about non-tech issues in my free time. Is it bad form to post my writings here? If it isn’t, is there a convention (such as “show HN”) that I should use?

Pretty sure it was Sean Parker but I could be wrong
Our brains went to the same place. I posted the same link 3 minutes later haha
While flights are often cheaper than rail in Europe they are not always faster when you include travel time to/from airport/train station (airports tend to be outside of town and train stations are typically center of city) and that you have to be at the airport earlier. I lived in Munich and a number of times it was faster to take the train. Me and my GF both went to Paris; she flew and I took rail from Munich and my train was slightly faster or at least break even. Also, traveling by rail in Europe is a nicer experience in my opinion.
Fantastic point. This is my first infographic so I am learning a lot from the feedback.
Agreed. I'm going to do a second draft. The real challenge is finding risk statistics for all of these sports/activities.
It should be less blurry now. Thank you for noticing this.
I just hosted it on Imgur and imbedded it on the website. Seems quite a lot better now.
Fantastic point. This is a work in progress so I can address it. Many thanks for your thoughts.
Yes, they are additive. The blur happened when I uploaded to Wordpress and I couldn't find a way to fix it.

I would love to make an update for Delta if I could find some solid numbers on the death rate; perhaps it is out there and I haven't found it yet. Also, the monoclonal antibodies seem to be a very interesting factor. I was just helping run a vaccine center in Texas and our partner Regeneron clinic was working overtime. Supposedly 70% successful at keeping people out of the hospitals (but not enough to keep the hospitals from being overwhelmed in Corpus Christi, where I was deployed). Thank you for reading.

My understanding is that “effectiveness” in these studies means that it is x% effective at preventing covid-19. So comparing these numbers is not the most important thing. Most all of the vaccines on the market are very, very effective at stopping death and hospitalization, which is the most important thing.
Ask yourself, why now? I work at a vaccine center and they are all slowing down. For those who aren’t “hesitant” but maybe haven’t received their shot for lack of urgency (convenience issues/complacency), going to a store full of people not wearing their mask may make them feel less secure and will provide urgency to get their shots. Interesting strategy but as the unvaccinated anti-maskers stop wearing their masks in public (no one is going to check their vax card), you are going to see outbreaks and death. Let’s see if it works to get more people vaccinated.
Interesting idea but I have serious doubts that those who eat in the Harvard canteen are a good representation of the general public.
Probably a dumb question, but why can’t we just blast nuclear waste out into space with a rocket? Seems like a rather small payload in the grand scheme of things.
