Your tone is inappropriate, please try to make your point without implying GP is dumber than a third grader. It implies malicious intent and is bad for discussion.

Non-action decisions (e.g. not getting vaccinated) is currently harming other people. Inaction is also harmful.

You also didn't pass the Moderna side-effects to anyone else, unlike with the flu.

This is a ridiculous comment.

1. Vaccines do stop transmission because they make it less likely your internal systems will get infected

2. Vaccines also prevent hospitalizations very effectively

3. Known side effects from the vaccine are very, very low. Much lower than the risk of getting COVID, for the same health outcomes.

4. Getting COVID (the bad outcome caused by the virus) has some chance at Long Covid. The vaccine reduces this because it makes it less likely you get the syndrome after infection.

I have found (as I've gotten older, and, hopefully wiser) that I no longer seek out objectivity because it cannot exist in most human interest topics.

Economics has no objective truth, as evidenced by its inability as a whole to make accurate predictions. Politics has no objective truth, because we need to understand people's motivations which are often hidden from themselves.

If you see this kind of headline and get upset because of the editorializing, I suspect you should only read about physics and math. At least until you start to see the subjectivity in those fields as well.

We cannot escape our biases. We cannot communicate objectively - the decisions of what to talk about, how we express it, and how much context to include - those all fly against objectivity.

It took me a while to accept that I'm not a logical robot and to embrace the parts of humanity that I previously found distasteful because it couldn't be cleanly reduced to a binary.

I work at a F50 that has a similar home grown solution. The nice thing is team members can customize their local machine however they want! Then for the actual dev env, its standard.

Works really really well when you allow your employees to explore and do what they want locally. Then when things break or go wrong (either I tweak something, or an incompatible Apple update lands) - I can just reset to the same dev env as everyone else.

It's fantastic. Spin up and throw away a dev env that is so much more powerful than my local machine could be (100+ GB RAM machines are a click away).

100 years in an arbitrary period. Why not go back 10k years to define a luxury?

I checked my car (2004 Mazda RX-8), which was estimated around $8k. I actually sold through a Carvana-like service for under $1k because I got tired of listing it myself at under KBB's rec ($2k at the time, IIRC)The other online price checkers come in closer to the actual amount I received.

What's the difference between what you're doing, and why should I trust your number? Something that far out of expectations and experience, plus other low trust factors on the site[0], lead me to ditch your conclusion. Sorry if that sounds blunt - but the whole thing appeared to me to be a RNG lead gen for local car dealers who are short on inventory - the incentive is to give me a higher number so I become a lead for you.

[0] low-trust indicators I noticed: poor data curation - inconsistent capitalization (some all caps, some lowercase), multiple options for the same trim with nearly similar names. Rougher design than most modern sites. SEO Keyword stuffing at the bottom of the page. Leadgen pages for 3rd parties in general tend to be sketchy in general.

I strongly disagree with your comment. Your definition of luxury is narrow and proscriptive. If you're trying to evaluate whether people would accept certain changes in their lifestyle, their definition of luxury is the one that matters.

In a tight definition, indoor plumbing is a luxury. As a person whose family vacations used to include an outhouse, I most certainly do not consider that a luxury in my life.

The average salary of a US hospital director is $125k. https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/healthcare-director-salar...

One metric that's interesting: what the market is offering for temporary contracts for traveling nurses. Past flu seasons haven't seen contracts of $10k+ per WEEK for ICU nurses.

The landing page is a scalable way to see if what you're saying resonates with your target market. You will need to generate traffic, either manually or via ads. With an LP, you can see if your message (and how you phrase it) is something that someone will proceed down the funnel for.

IME, it's very useful to force you to clearly state your value prop. Then you can test if that prop resonates and lands with a specific audience that you generate.

It's not going to get you anywhere on its own. It's one step of the puzzle, but an important one.

I built www.emailnewslettertracker.com so I can route emails to my Remarkable2 tablet. It's based on inbound SES and lambda, with a reverse engineering of the Remarkable browser extension. Because of the reverse engineering, I don't really want to bring attention with thousands of users, but if a couple of people wanted access, please feel free to sign up.

I built it because email newsletters are increasingly valuable, and I wanted to read them on RM2.
