Test subjects were 18-55 — I guess I wouldn't say that's exclusively "healthy young people" other than in comparison to the 80+ group which is most in danger. But we are mostly on the same page — is the cure worse (or equally bad) as the disease for the 60-70, 70-80, 80+ populations?

Even if the vaccine is not suitable for the older groups, high vaccination rates in younger people may be enough to drop the rate of infection significantly below 1.0, eventually conferring herd immunity for the immunocompromised.
It's of note because it's uncommon.
The context of the chain is that you can leave the US or the UK, but you can't leave China. The original comment literally said - if you don't like the US, you can leave, but if you don't like China, you can't leave.

If you are an enemy of the USG, you can't leave the US. If you are an enemy of the Chinese State, you can't leave China. I fail to see the difference.

I assure you that US citizens that move abroad and act in ways that conflict with the USG are also surveilled. The tactics are different, because the US has sufficient power to surveil you without needing any threatening. If ever the threat of violence is judged effective that is what will threaten you. First under the threat of extradition (which is violence), if that fails the US will make phone calls to the government of the country where you live in, and if that fails and you're still worth it then it's covert action.

Maybe if you live in the Anglosphere China is a bigger threat, but in that case it's not a big threat at all. But for people that live anywhere else in the world or have done so the US has done enough terrorizing and threatening to see that the US is a bigger threat to your freedom. What good is democracy when the US controls your economy and defence? What meaningful freedom do you have of acting according to your interests when that boot is against your neck? Both China and the US are exactly the same threat. It is absurd to give more power to the US to isolate China. If what you care about is freedom, the best scenario is actually to have both China and the US in economic competition.
I'm largely with you. I'm a bit annoyed with the BBC on this article. It seems like just last week overpopulation was a big problem. Now we are "ill-prepared for the global crash" and there will be a "jaw-dropping impact". Oy. No wonder people feel anxious.

Based on the pinyin based Chinese input method I've seen, I guess the user will want to switch to US for entering code, right? Otherwise, the IME will offer Chinese characters...

What I like about using US Intl (I've modified it slightly) is that no switching is required, I can conveniently enter both the programming related characters (such as curly braces which require gymnastics with a German keyboard layout) and the German specific characters such as umlauts.

But I can't imagine that this could be possible for Chinese without switching modes (or input methods or keyboar layouts).
I think they get deleted because it becomes a flaming shit war real fast and is very unproductive.

I personally don't think this title or video are relevant in the slightest on HN, and despite Reddit thinking China controls the website, there are regularly 200,000+ upvoted anti-China messages and theories on the very front page that immediately disprove their argument that China has any pull on Reddit.
My goodness, Docker Compose file to production stack?! My dreams have come true.

The arguments for k8s I have is that the local and production setups are identical.

It's a PITA to run k8s locally, but the alternative is that you use Docker Compose local, and then deploy to k8s, which means two sets of configs. And that's terrible.

Or, you use Docker Compose locally, and fragment all of the containers into individual ECS/Fargate services which you write the deploy pipeline for individually.

These were your best options, for one glaring reason: You can't use a docker-compose.yaml in production. (I know, I know, Kompose, but it doesn't always work quite right and you now have a k8s cluster).

Are the immune responses to the vaccine identical across the trial group? No. Is everyone's response to sars-cov-2 identical? No. Is everyone's immune system unique in its signaling and adaptive behavior? Yes. How is it possible to correlate immune responses by measuring 0.000x percent of the available data? We do not have complete understanding of our immune systems, thus we need more data and most of it can be relevant.
I just got confirmation that one of the true reasons was "control", ie. being able to have an eye on every worker. Many managers feel out of touch in the modern workplace, so it's not just employees who are frustrated. The next "fix" in the eternal swing of the pendulum is of course: easier access and overview on workers.

The problem is, nobody else care about your "deep work", or benefit much, except yourself. The pendulum always swings too far, and turn back..
Thank for the clarification. Sorry for the misunderstanding this caused.

The umlaut is a dead key so it's very easy. ß is AltGr or Option + S which I admit is a bit more annoying, but your spellchecker should take care of that, no? (I'm Swiss so even when I have to type in broken German, we don't use the ß here).

All layouts are tradeoffs. Not using the US layout makes a lot of things annoying in our field. I write code and use my IDE's keyboard shortcuts more than I need to write long texts in my native language.

Working on compilers, graph algorithms of various kinds tend to come up rather frequently. The only one that I recall having to implement myself was enumerating elementary cycles in a graph. That said, you often have to do a modified standard tree or graph traversal, so some variant of BFS or DFS is pretty common.

The only other exotic data structure I've had to use is the union-find data structure. It's a pretty slick data structure, both because it's so easy that you could probably come up with the optimal one just by thinking about it for a few hours, but also because its runtime is O(n * inverse Ackermann(n)), the latter function grows so slowly that it is less than 4 for the number of atoms in the universe. Although, unfortunately, the data structure doesn't do a good job of telling you which union call is the one that merged two sets that should be separate together.

I think this may be the end of the American experiment. How can you have mostly open organic institutions that anyone can influence and keep out bad actors, especially when one of those actors is another enormous state with the ability to plan and execute plans over decades?

I feel like pre-internet and the current level of globalization this would make some sense, but why would the end result here not be a corruption of open institutions by powerful bad actors?
Carbon removal and prevention projects are certified. This creates a certificate which can then be sold on the market.

That got me googling and I found this gem:

> Today, Munich is Germany’s most expensive city in which to buy property, with asking prices reaching €35,000 per square metre in some exclusive developments, according to Engel & Völkers. The average price per square metre in the city is €7,630, dwarfing the €2,993 in Germany as a whole. [0]

That's wild. In USD per square foot, that's $3,700/sqft, $800/sqft, and $316/sqft respectively. Meanwhile, San Francisco's median is $1,100/sqft, the metro area's is $500/sqft, and california's as a whole is $315/sqft, remarkably close to germany as a whole. America's is $123/sqft.

Thank god for SF salaries (apparently about 150% of munich salaries).

> Folks who shout they are being silenced

Many aren't arguing that they themselves are being silenced. They are arguing that others are being silenced either out of sympathy for those being silenced or recognition that the force silencing the less powerful may one they have the power to silence the person speaking out.

Those of us that still have a voice should be pro-active in speaking out for those that don't lest we one day find ourselves without a voice as well.

"They came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up." – Martin Niemöller

> With hindsight, we see the irish nationalist was less conflicted than Orwell had been willing to admit to himself. Or am I missing something important, given that this was written in 1945 and not 1922?

Ireland spent the Second World War neutral, albeit sympathetic to the Axis (Eamon de Valera famously mourned Hitler's death!); what Orwell was trying to say is that the only reason Ireland had any neutrality to preserve is the U.K. was implicitly defending it: had the Axis powers won the war Germany or Italy would have soon enough made Ireland a puppet state.
True, but a bit reductionist. A Unix file system also gives certain guarantees. For example, you can atomically rename a complete directory tree while client program keep accessing the "old" ones, you have a large choice of excellent SCMs for tracking files, can have networked and/or distributed file systems, uniform permissions or ACLs ... all of which come in handy if you're running a web server.

Pros of Sentry (imho)

- free open source
- teams management can be delegated
- works fine with mac, linux & windows browsers
- maintenance free self hosted on k8s for 2 years
- lack of mobile apps has not been issue

- requires little end-user support

This is the same list as the Pros for passbolt. And both ’just work’ without much maintenance or support, running self hosted on k8s for free.
> Shouldn't we instead try to work towards a society where no opinion is taboo?

There will always be taboo opinions. For example, I can't imagine a civilized society where an opinion like "capital punishment for every minor fault is ok" is not taboo.

> Instead of making opinions taboo, we should work on an educational system that doesn't let harmful opinions take hold of people.

How? I think the problem is that this is impossible at all. Not every opinion is based on reason and education will not be a shield from them.

I just watched another thread that was in no way a flame war get deleted in the tik-tok topic.

They have taken to deleting ANYTHING that mentions the CCPs investment in Chinese Tech, regardless of whether it's a cordial discussion or not. When people are asking "why would the US be concerned about a stupid app like Tik-Tok" and the response is: because the CCP is heavily invested which is concerning - that shouldn't be deleted. The fact it was brings into question the motivations of the moderators...
I have never in my life understood how being a member of a racial/gender/religious group implied association with some specific political party. When you actually do fit in that box, it creates a perception that you lack the free thought to do otherwise and not that you hold these views for well thought out reasons (no matter what they are).

It's one of many forms of labeling that are easily attached to people and it's one of many reasons why I'll be firmly independent until the day I die. Although I'm sure that has a perception associated with it too.

Adding the ability to donate is not a neutral decision and affects everyone using the platform whether they "donate" or not. I use quotes because we usually reserve the word "donate" for non-profits and charities.

Not donating is saying just as much to the host as donating.

I got an XPS13 a month ago. Love it...

Nearly ordered the 32GB RAM model with 1TB SSD and the 4k touch screen. Here in the UK that meant a special order and a three week lead time.

Then Dell had a flash sale on the non-touch 16GB model, with 14% off, an extra 5% via a cashback site's affiliate link, and next day delivery.

So all in all, I got a machine that is nearly as good nearly all the time, for 60% of the top spec price.

I figured by the time I really do need 32GB, I can sell it and buy a top of the range AMD-based Dell or Lenovo.

It's worth noting that there was a sudden & pretty draconian regulation passed early this year that gutted Gokada's primary business (ridesharing on motorbikes). He was very passionate in his disagreement with the government's decision. The company pivoted pretty neatly (in my opinion) to last-mile deliveries instead - the pandemic certainly helped drive demand - but currently there's morbid speculation that potential financial struggles on Gokada's part might have been a factor in his murder. There's also the possibility of someone in power being displeased at how vocal he was about the regulation.
I also think that the solution, if you will, does require to take the idiosyncracies of a country into account.

Many people may no realise this, but this exactly holds for African countries too. As the continent develops, some countries will become certain roleplayers that essentially are already apparent now, for those willing to go and look for it.

South Africa is the financial capital of Africa, and it would do most people here good to emphasise that. It is an entry point into the rest of Africa (despite, or because of even, being the furthest away from Europe) and its long term trajectory is probably going to remain in what I guess we could call facilitation.

If we compare SA to Ireland or Switzerland, again, they are countries that attempt to facilitate development. I think tax needs to be a topic in its own right, and the exact properties of a country is also a topic in its own right.

Luxembourg will always be forced into a niche, and whether that niche is tax based on not depends on the options at their disposal. Wealthy people see tax as an expense just like any other and the onus is on ordinary people to build inherent value rather than simply financial value.

But you need cultural momentum for this. South Africa's niche role is compounded by cultural and African factors and I am first in line of those that want a foundational based economy, rather than a facilitation based one. But you really need the will to work hard and build inherent value. My final point is simply that one can complain about countries that focus on tax (or tax evation) but the real question is: What else are the options. (And I'm sure there are opportunities waiting.)

Personally I think they ought to pay any tax that doesn't require an 'unfair' transfer of revenue. Selling your product to at a nonsensical price to an affiliated company in a different country should be considered collusion as far as I'm concerned.

The tricky part is pinning this down in legislation, although viewing it as collusion might make this somewhat easier as there are already laws against collusion and monopolies that you might be able to leverage.
