R only drops if this vaccine provides sterilizing immunity. The press release only discusses protection from disease.

A vaccine that only prevents disease, but which does not prevent infection, does not necessarily create herd immunity.
Thankfully, the US antivax movement is not as strong in the rest of the world, and thankfully not everyone needs to be vaccinated for the R0 figure to drop considerably.

If cretins don't want to be vaccinated, it's their loss.
That's so cool. Thanks!

> the aggressive rent-seeking behaviour from Apple

Can you clarify what you mean here? I associate the term "rent-seeking" with efforts to manipulate public policies in a way that advantages the company specifically over other competitors.

You seem to be talking about an ecosystem "lock-in" approach, which is something different than "rent-seeking".

Does this feel a bit unfair to TBL, as it's not his expertise, so setting up an evaluation with a question like this is precarious?
I think the term would be "as a service." And I am actually ok with that. There are lots of things I buy that are like that. You don't always need something physical and lasting to show for a purchase. I understand the Oculus business model and went in understanding it. I'm putting in an up-front cost and then future payments for content and I don't own the headset or the content in any kind of traditional sense. The closest analogue in this case is a digital vacation. I will have experiences and memories to show for it and a souvenir once the headset no longer has any functional value.

I am totally ok with it being regulated what could be called ownership. I think the crappiest thing about FB is that a whole lot of early adopters thought they were becoming owners and only later realized that they were renters. Legal action seems possible over this. I went in with clear expectations so I do not have the same complaint. I also recognize this is still an early product category and that I take certain consumer risks to experience the future today.

> Trump in particular shouldn't be under suspicion here because he has been strongly encouraging his supporters to vote in person, where fraud is much harder to pull off:

That...doesn't follow.

If I was planning massive mail-in voter fraud/sabotage/suppression, I'd probably be overly sensitive to the possibility that my opponent would also do what they could in that direction (or, in the case of unfocussed sabotage efforts, that my voters’ ballotd would be at risk from my own efforts), which would make me more likely to encourage my voters to vote in person, so that only my opponent’s votes would be at risk.

So what you are pointing to, inasmuch as it says anything relevant, makes Trump more suspicious, not less.

Honestly I think many companies would be willing to pay for open source if internally engineers could say, "look, we depend on this project for our success and we have a vested interest in seeing it maintained well and getting our features/bug-fixes actioned, and it's a lot cheaper for us to spend $1k/year (or whatever) than for us to pay our own developers to work on it (and not our own features)". I think a lot of business people would respond well to that, and if enough companies do that it could drive a lot of additional innovation and development in open source.
One of the linked articles [1] describes the arguments in favor of pro-ISP restrictions as concerns that municipal broadband would either be a waste of taxpayer money or an "unfair" threat to private-sector ISPs: "'The general rhetoric behind these laws, from the incumbents, is that cities are too incompetent to run their own networks, so it's a risk to taxpayers,' Craig Settles, a broadband consultant who works with cities to create municipal networks told me. 'But then, the other side of it is that cities are so competent that they represent unfair competition.'"

Is this a relatively accurate and complete characterization?

That's true of everything in the US because it is uniquely in a position of having the resources to do anything, but leadership and consensus are the only things preventing it.

Its not that the consensus doesn't have its merits sometimes, it is just a unique position to be in where the infinite resources and infrastructure are available.
Yeah, it's not a very good story. There are a few possible outcomes.

1. All workers start showing up later, thus the employer is motivated incentivize those who show up earlier.

2. Instead of raising wages, the employer limit the number of available position, thus incentivizing workers to show up earlier in order to be paid the denarius whereas those that show up later risked not getting the work and therefor lowered the statistical amount of money they can earn over time.

3. The workers organize together and mutually decide to bargain with the employer as a group for work hours and wages.

4. Scabs decide to work for the employer at an increased rate of 1.5 denarii.

5. Half of the crops rot on the vines, the employer raises the price of the wine to double it's original amount to recoup the losses.

6. The employer spends some additional money on lobbyists to convince Roman governors that their business is too important to fail, and receives a bailout.

7. The original workers and their families starve to death or turn to crime.

8. The bureaucrats and landowners profit and the scabs are forced to take 0.75 denarii as their wages because they have no bargaining power and they fear starvation as their contemporaries were made an example of.
I love how people think Elon is "evil" when it's clear people who interpret his banter this way have 100% fallen for his trolling.

And yes, I fully acknowledge Tesla is a shit show and would never want to work there - a good friend of mine works at Tesla and confirms this all the time lmao.
You don’t have to ‘enter the mobile market’. That is a lifestyle choice. It’s not part of your identity.

At least you admit this is about your desire to sell things to Apple’s customer base.

You could always build for Android.

You can compete with Apple.

Obviously not on your own, but remember that when Apple was founded it was just a few people in a garage, whereas IBM was a global corporation.

You can choose to contribute to an alternative if you like.

As for customers ‘not choosing the best thing’: It sounds like you are saying that people don’t know what is good for them and you know better.

I disagree. I believe people value things differently from you or even I.

If we want them to choose an open mobile operating system, we need to build one that does the things they want and is open.
And it has been wireless since 2016. In OP's case, it's completely Audi's fault.

Meanwhile Android Auto got wireless in 2018 only for Google and Samsung and is just now getting around to being wireless in 2020, but only with phones running Android 11 and still only in 36 countries.

Good that you've managed to read the first sentence. But it would have been better if you've also read the second one where he explicitly said "I created the account just for my Oculus Quest 2 and don't post anything on it".
I'm in the same position. We have a huge budget, but literally no way to transfer money to individuals or even aggregators like GitHub. Corporate credit card use for software is forbidden. Everythi g has to go through an 18 month purchase process.

Sonic think a prerequisite for success would be to have a single organization that does the payment processing get set up as a vendor with lord knows how many large companies. That's probably why it's never been done at any kind of scale

With the exception of Raspberry Pi, you can’t really purchase Broadcom SoCs for your own products anyway. Not unless you are a large vendor with high quantities, in which case they’d be happy to support your project.

Never build a product around chips you can’t access anyway. Using the Broadcom Raspberry Pi modules is a great option if, and only if, the features you need are already well supported and documented.
He said in that clip that everything that creates value is valuable, it doesn't have to change the world in any big way. I donno, he specifically got asked the question and I think the answer is probably the most correct one as well.

If you just listen to what other people say and try to follow that yeah, that is outsourcing your thinking. But do people really study and start an AI company just because Elon Musk thinks this is a big thing for the future?

> I believe this is a misquote.

It is a legitimate known translation, not a misquote from the Ralph Manheim translation of Mein Kampf (ISBN 0395078016 / year 1943), page 403. Other translations have similar wording on the page, although not in such a nice succint sentence.

Manheim was known to have gone into great effort to create an exact English equivalent of Hitler's work for Mein Kampf.

> It's also a morally horrific line of argument. Like saying you shouldn't care about shooting civilians because bad people in the past have used human shields as a war tactic.

The point of the quote is to show there are no limits curtailing liberties, not an absolute we shouldn't bother. The attempt to spin the quote into something else, probably because, you wish to "protect the children" is proving the point.
The op should respond since they seem to feel imprisoned, but you do not.

It sounds like you just like the quality of their product.

Apple does let you use the phone as you want to.

They just didn’t design it to do the things you say you’d prefer. I assume that you wouldn’t have made the trade off if you didn’t think it was worth it.

Liking a product enough to buy while wanting it to be designed a little differently is what we do with almost all purchases.

That is pretty much the opposite of living in a communist dictatorship.

> so the whole world is studying this virus 24/7 for almost a year and nobody detected anything

I think you might overestimate what we can detect, when it comes to how viruses interact with a living human body. Yes, the whole world is studying it 24/7, and we really do not have a clue on long term effects. Science is pretty good, but some problems are pretty difficult too.

30 years ago, we could not have this ubiquitous testing capability and probably could not develop these tests at all. 10 years ago, we would definitely not have this vaccine one year after patient zero. Today, we really have no clue on long term effects until they happen on a statistical scale. Science and biotech progress rapidly, but there are still a lot of things we can't do.
I have the opposite experience in that I'm an American who has lived in the UK and have had visa issues in that direction.

At some point my visa was expiring and I applied for a new one, but my application was rejected. So I left the country under my own volition.

For the next two years, I visited the UK regularly (6 times total) for 2-4 week stints to see my longtime girlfriend, friends, and perform various activities related to a business I started with a friend in the UK (I had lived in the UK for 6 years).

The most recent time I tried to visit the UK, I was visiting my girlfriend before Christmas for two weeks. Already had an onward flight to the US booked for two weeks after my arrival, on an airline + route I had flown quite frequently. That is to say: none of the circumstances were different than all the other times I had visited the UK in the past two years.

This time, however, I was denied entry and held in detention for nearly 18 hours, having to book a same day flight back to the states (because my existing onward flight was out of a different airport and could not rebook).

My only crime was that when they denied a visa application, I left when they asked me to (which is another story about how hard they actually made it for me to leave in the first place).

On the other hand, my British girlfriend just got an ESTA to come visit me in the states. She had to stay in Mexico for two weeks as she was coming from Europe, but she's here now.

It's not about what you prefer, it's about whether they can hold onto their market share in solving these problems.
A tricky odds calculation.

It's kind of annoying to have to be fearful on public transport, having to avoid infecting older family members and therefore not seeing them, and much else. Then there's the risk to yourself with COVID, which varies based on your lifestyle, age, and good/bad genes. Clearly some percentage of the population die, and a bigger have long-term very unpleasant effects.

On the other hand, the vaccine can be discovered, 12 months from now, to cause an autoimmune reaction in some people and their immune systems attack their joints or something.

I think this pandemic teaches us all one thing - almost the entire world of understanding can be boiled down to probability.
This. Having done 4 intercontinental moves, some on tight budgets, I have donated/dumped boxes of books and now mostly read on my e-book to avoid repeating that. The only downside I have seen to this is the "display case" which is such a great way to find out when you share fringe interests with visitors.

One technical solution I have given a lot of thought is to achieve a tangible representation of books, music and photo albums as small printed cards. These cards should then be recognizable by your media devices (e-readers, audio-players,...) via QR codes or RFID tags. Think putting on a playlist by dumping a bunch of music cards on your player, etc.

Yes, but in other cases there have been "independent" reviews that weren't really independent, e.g. test makers who did their own test validation but got academics to do the writeup ... who worked at the university the manufacturer was spun out of. There's a lot of bad behaviour going on right now in the scientific world that would normally not be tolerated, but standards have dropped lot in the name of speed.
Musk is exciting for what he does, not his bloviating.

He's a low EQ high EQ guy that has a bulldozer personality and work ethic. If you want to learn from watching what he does professionally, you'll probably learn a lot. If you try to learn from what he says, if it isn't about technical aspects of his machines, you're in for a bunch of poor examples of how to be a good person.

He reminds me a lot of Linus Torvalds, exceptional individual who contributions have changed the world, but like all of us humans, with a variety of warts in how he interacts with others.

Main thing to remember- from George Washington to Einstein to Ghandi- there isn't a human that you can model all aspects of your life on, no uber-virtuous genius- each of us has different strengths and weaknesses and we need to pick and choose examples for our areas of need.

Nobody runs the show.

AT&T, Xfinity, RCN, etc are all here, competing with each other. If you live in a dense part of the city, you've got half a dozen other providers to choose from as well. Google-owned WebPass can put a microwave dish on your roof and offer 100+ mb/sec for $50 or less per apartment. Mine is a local company that runs a huge fiber line direct from the nearest exchange center and puts a managed switch in the basement, with each unit having a cat5 line direct to the switch. It's $25 per month for 250 mb/sec symmetrical with direct peering to Amazon, Netflix, Apple, and a few others, and all the common areas like the pool deck and gym have free wifi running at those speeds. I can upgrade to gigabit for an extra $25 per month, which I did for the first few year. But it works so well that I don't bother anymore.
For telco stuff specifically it's more that local governments love to rentseek from the incumbents. The faustian bargain is that the telcos pony up and in exchange the government, usually local, makes it nearly impossible for new players to enter. Some of those policies might end up making it harder for them to operate but it's harder still for competitors. The same is true when hospital networks try to expand beyond state lines. The reasoning goes if I can't expand why should they?
> but the user will most likely save more by buying an iPhone than a similarly or even a bit cheaper high end Android phone

I highly doubt this. A flagship iPhone costs $1000+. I would consider the Pixel 4a to be a "bit cheaper high end Android phone". You can buy a stack of 3 Pixel 4a phones for $1050. Are you confident 1 iPhone can outlast 3 Pixels? If you go to mid range Android you can get stacks of 4-6 phones. You could get 4 Moto G Power for $1000. My $250 Nexus 5X has lasted me 4+ years now, so a stack of 4 of them could last me 16+ years before hardware failure. In reality though, Android/app updates make my phone more and more sluggish over time and so I'm forced to upgrade every ~3 years to get a snappy experience again.

But their products being bad doesn't matter - they'll make sure to cripple all the competition so the only usable service products are Apple products. They've already started embedding agressive marketing pitches into their OSes so the competition will always be a step behind.

That's enough - their products don't really have to be the best. They'll win by competition not being able to surpass them due to restrictions.
