It's probably the fastest a new vaccine has ever been developed, using a technique never before used for this purpose, for something that will quickly be given to millions upon millions of people. Maybe it shouldn't have taken 3 weeks, but there was certainly a non-zero period of time during which the FDA should seriously scrutinize and not just take Pfizer's word on things.
Much needed clarity.
I've been using lynx for almost 3 decades. It was my primary browser for over a decade. The modern web has unfortunately left it behind but it still has utility. I have used it to test accessibility on sites. It is an excellent file manager. Just bookmark ~/ for navigation. It is useful for importing pages with -dump from the command line. It is arguably the best ever gopher client. It is also configurable beyond belief. Hopefully with a resurgence of interest in simplicity and text it will continue to be useful...
> You do realize that capitalism co-opts everything and that women entering the workforce led to two people now earning what a single person used to?

Two people earn a lot more than one person used to by any material metric. People don’t feel any richer because any surplus gets eaten up by positional goods. It’s not enough to have a perfectly reasonable 1950s house. You must have one twice as big, like your friends. It’s not enough to go on a camping holiday, or road trip. You have to have a trip to the Caribbean twice a year. Most of all, the ultimate positional good, the real prestige markers, an Ivy League degree for your children and a house in a good school district, i.e. one with no poor people.
> After 20+ years being parented and pushed into team work, is it so terrible to consider enabling free agency and experience?

This is an entirely western or American POV. I have no idea if it came from media (movies/books telling us we should move out as soon as possible) or from advertising (because if you can get people to move out you sell more stuff. More housing, more cars, more every day appliances etc...)

In plenty of cultures there is ZERO stigma of not moving out of your birth home until you get married and that might not happen till your 30s or 40s. It's just normal.

> Shouldn't the republican party be worried? If the trend continues and a lot of companies move from California to Texas bringing along a lot of liberal employees with them, won't that tip the already narrowing margin towards the democratic party?

Shouldn't the democrats in california worry also? If so many democrats are moving to texas?

Oddly enough, just a few decades ago, texas used to be a democrat state and california was a republican state.

Lyndon B Johnson was a democrat from Texas and Richard Nixon was a republican from california.

I wonder if texas and california might flip in my lifetime. That would be so strange to see.

> the United States doesn't have laws against hate speech

Interesting, thanks for enlightening me! Canada does have laws against hate speech and I'd mistakenly thought the US did as well. In any case, speech intended to incite lawbreaking, whether a hate crime or otherwise, is not protected under the first amendment. If you tell your Twitter followers to go burn down all the Jewish-owned business or whatever, and they do, your speech is illegal. So there are at least some limits.

And I agree that freedom of speech goes beyond the first amendment. But the "significant public figure" of that is important: not anyone could get published in the New York Times, you already had to have reach and notoriety. They wouldn't have published articles by some random basement crackpot moon conspiracist, because that person wouldn't have a chance to get famous in the first place. They probably also don't publish opinion pieces with easily-disproven counterfactual statements. YouTube's algorithm, by default, makes no distinction: any idiot can go viral and get tons of reach on a video loaded with outright lies. YouTube has provided a platform that makes the spread of misinformation much easier and in my opinion it's their responsibility to take action to correct that.
I’m so sorry your friend is going through this. Thank you for helping.

FYI - If you file a USPS change of address they mail your old address a confirmation. IIRC the confirmation includes the new address. Maybe someone who has done this recently can confirm.

It's not the age of somebody that determines how the virus reacts. The statistics you're referencing categorize age as a proxy for some real-world vulnerabilities that vary in significance by age. That is, worse outcomes due to Covid exposure tend to be more prevalent as age advances.

But that says absolutely zero about any single individual. Each individual, regardless of age group, can have more or less susceptibility than their age group. It is an _individual's_ health and other risk factors that decide the outcome for that individual -- not their membership in an age category. Therefore, each individual must decide their own risk tolerance and remediation plan.

In what sense do you need RDRAND to scale? You seed an RNG infrequently, and spool off arbitrary amounts of random bytes from it in each interval.
Sounds like you are passing judgement to me. The idea that women are oppressed when they cook for their families, but free and liberated when they work as a wage slave for their boss, is very very sad. You talk about choice, but never consider that men have very little choice either. Either be a wage slave, or by looked down on for "not providing". Spending time with your family and on the home front is one of the most rewarding things a human being can do. It is a great loss to society that this now looked down on as a lesser choice because there are "better" options available to women now.
The Dynamics of Discrimination: Theory and Evidence
By that same logic why wait for any studies on the vaccine at all? Why not just start administering it as soon as it's developed (en masse)?

The rigor is to give the public confidence that we're better off getting the vaccine than not.

Uh, author is committing tax fraud. The standardized tax deduction for mileage includes maintance and fuel etc. So to both itemize your costs plus taking the standard deduction is to double count the same costs.

Author is also benefiting from negative deduction on the value of his car. His car was long ago worthless, yet thanks to the standard deduction he is discounting it for tax purposes below zero. This is not normal accounting and not what the irs intended by offering the standard deduction.

If anything this means author is able to earn cash tax free. Except for the whole fraud aspect. If you are willing to commit fraud any business can run in the red for tax purposes.
No, arbitrarily frequent credential rotation is not universally good hygiene, and suggesting otherwise is not malpractice. Why not rotate frequently? Because doing so requires a high-availability CA, and reduces the reliability of the whole system, for marginal or no security benefit.
I dunno, in the CUT space you've got the 3-point hitch, SSQA, hydraulic remotes and a bunch of other standards that make implements pretty interchangeable. Makes brand lock-in pretty difficult.

If I had the option for either a pure-electric or diesel-electric I would have seriously considered it. At least in our case the workload is a lot of hauling, intermittent groundwork and field mowing(<10ac) all of which would have fit really well.

Also all the JD DRM stuff only applies in the larger 100hp+ market. In the SCUT/CUT/Utility Tractor market there's a fairly robust set of companies(Kubota, LS, JD, Mahindra, Yanmar, etc).
> And a side note: does anyone know what the trends over the decades are like for less "hodgepodge-y" languages, like Spanish and German?

I'm an amateur observer of this, but speaking in centuries rather than decades I can tell you that Old Spanish up until a little bit after the time of Columbus had different phonetics for several consonants, and thus different spelling. eg. There was a /ʃ/ sound spelled with X, as well as a /ʒ/ which was spelled with J or GI, GE -- this all merged and is today spelt with J or GI, GE, pronounced [x]. Also what is today /θ/ in Spain was once distinct /ts/ and /dz/, written as ç and z respectively (today c and z). /b/ and /v/ had not yet merged and their spellings have since been sort of "re-based" to look like their Latin roots. <h> for a time was not silent, and many words that start with <h> used to have an /f/.

So, the interesting thing about this relative to English: when pronunciation changed around 1500, they also updated the spelling.
I read that in Mexico that number is less then 10%.

seems mostly blue collar lower class here that are emotionally hyped up for the vaccines. seems to make sense.
It isn't entirely the typical anti-vax nonsense or outlandish conspiracy theories, though. mRNA vaccines are entirely new and I don't believe we've had even traditional vaccines start getting used outside of trials so quickly before. This is new ground, and not without its own potential risks.
When Trump got elected I had to listen to my friends freak out about a "Hitler" "Fascist" crazy-man. I silently rolled my eyes.

Then when he lost the election, and lied about it, and confused more than a third of the country in the process, I realized I was wrong.

I had wanted to believe (though never based on any evidence), that more information was always better, and that people are smarter than TV assumes. I wanted to believe that a pre-selected, pre-digested set of channels was ludicrous, and removing the gatekeepers would force a radically more efficient system. I wanted to believe that because I "knew" I personally didn't need such pabulum.

Perhaps we'll grow into it. Personally, I'd rather not risk it right now.

> Can't imagine using computers without one. I have no empirical proof of this, but I would be willing to wager the deed to my house that the vast majority of users, having been explained what a cli is, the benefits of it, and how to use it, would chose to never use a CLI again.

As stated, I agree.

But "ugliness" and unfamiliarity are big confounds here.

The fairer experiment would be something like: For tasks where a CLI app is a better fit than a GUI, would a person trained in the CLI and forced to use it for, say, a day (however long it took to become comfortable and see productivity benefits) then decide to keep using it, or go back to a GUI?

Imagine an office worker and some cumbersome workflow with excel, microsoft word, and GUI folders.

Google on firefox is severely crippled for some reasons. None of the modern features work in it.
Firefox Mobile used to be decent... no, exceptional 'til they shat the bed by removing features such as extensions, changing bookmarks and disrupting workflows. One can no longer save pages to PDF. Other things take thrice the number of taps to achieve the same outcome.

As much as I love Firefox and Mozilla at large, I believe a lot of their woes are self inflicted. Yes, COVID blah blah blah, but a cursory look at their financials shows a NPO that behaved like Goog was gonna continue funding them indefinitely.

Vivaldi is my daily driver on desktop and Firefox is the "sandboxxed" browser. Might start looking into their mobile offering seeing as FF Mobile isn't getting any better. Damn shame really.

These are not improvements of a hammer design, but completely different things. Screws do not play well with deformation, but let’s ignore that: you’ll probably have both a hammer and one of these things in your toolbox, and you’ll miss a hammer if it’s not there. It is a general-purpose hit-force tool for hitting anything, not only nails. A better design for a hammer itself could include a claw or new hitting surface geometry, handle amortizer and so on, which are successfully done in variety, despite gp thinks that it’s “stuck”. First, it’s not, we just waited for better materials, advanced tasks, etc. Second, it is not much to do with hitting something with inertia-accumulated force.

Anyway my point is that if you change all hammers in the world overnight (like software does) you better have done a good job of century-testing your changes in all situations. If your reasoning is just “it gets old”, well, this site’s rules do not allow me to express what I think of that.
Pregnancy is a "generic" risk factor for any medical intervention, as is young age. There is no reason to believe the vaccine is particular harmful in these groups. But since it's eminently possible to avoid the risk by vaccinating most people around them, that option is (slightly) more attractive.

No, they showed the danger of popularizing and amplifying the most virulent messages, which usually are hatred and paranoia. If it were just a randomly uploaded youtube video that showed up on the front page, it would be much less likely to be picked up.

Instead, we have the possibility of the recommendation engine recommending videos en-mass.
I agree completely. Transparency is better than shadow removal.
The CDC officially recommended the use of face masks in public places on April 3.

That was forever ago and only a few weeks into the US crises(couple weeks after first lockdowns started). There absolutely was a PPE shortage at the time, and there absolutely was new information coming in about the efficacy of wearing non N95 masks. That's a lot of attribution to malice or incompetence for such a dynamic situation that shaped up in such a relatively short amount of time..

Meanwhile the current admin had their last maskless rally what, just in the past week or so?
This sends very bad signals. She was fired for doing her job, exactly what she was paid to perform. On the other hand the many employees who practice personal disruptive politics at work in no way related to their jobs aren’t even reprimanded. That sends all kinds of confusing signals about what’s appropriate.
The FDA announced early this morning that they were definitively going to authorize it[1], but they didn't actually issue the authorization at that point, with people telling the press that authorization would come "in the next few days".

If someone called up the FDA after that and said "hey, you've already told everyone you're going to approve this, so just sign the papers and make it official today rather than going home for the weekend and finishing it up on Monday", I have no problem with that. That's not pressure to prematurely authorize it (since they already confirmed they would), that's just cutting through the red tape/BS and making it official faster (IMO).

Put it into a tech perspective - if your company's cloud product went down and you were losing $millions every hour, and the devs found the bug and fixed it, but the product manager said "hey great, we'll fill out the release paperwork in the next few days and maybe approve pushing the change to prod on Monday", would anyone go for that? No way - they'd say we're not going home until this is fixed and released. Replace $millions with actual human lives and that's basically what we have here, isn't it?

> There are about 3,000 people dying every day.... it is like 9/11 every day, or 9 jumbo jets falling

This is wrong. Median expected remaining healthy lifespan of a 9/11 deceased was ~35 years, whereas for a COVID decease it's ~3.5 years. So 9/11 is still 10x worse.

Don't get me wrong, COVID is still terrible, but it is not a "9/11 every day".
Why did 4 people vote against recommending approval?
The comment is “these concepts and artifacts are table stakes for any discussion on this matter, and they seem to be missing”, which in my view is a valuable contribution.
Other than helping yourself and others being vaccinated also means you don't get hit by the full force of a virus. Not just covid but the damage done by any virus is lessened after being vaccinated. Even if you do happen to get infected even after being vaccinated (which is still possible). A full strength virus from the wild versus being infected after being vaccinated is quite different.
It is possible he was just pissed at any delay at all. I am just feeling extremely skeptical about believing any of these people as their goal is to get us to forget about the pandemic and get back to work at maximum productivity regardless of whether this thing works.
Was that ever not the case? Was there a time when any person with any message could reach the whole country with their message?

The scarce resource here isn't freedom of speech, it's people's attention. As always, you can say whatever you want, and as always, it's hard to get people to listen to you. Before the internet, you basically needed an already-famous person to take an interest in you in order to get noticed. Now a message can go viral organically, without needing to involve any journalists or talk-show hosts, but the platforms are free to stop something from going viral if they don't like it. Facebook giveth and Facebook taketh away.

But to answer your question, I think breaking up the platforms would be a better solution than treating them as de-facto public services and trying to regulate them as such. Or appropriate them and make them into actual public services :)
> The author theorizes that this ban will inflame tensions, but I don't believe that's true. Look at Reddit's ban on toxic subreddits. They found that banning toxic subreddits reduced the toxicity in the website as a whole, and that "post-ban, hate speech by the same users was reduced by as much as 80-90 percent." [1]

Your analogy only really works if you ban half the population from the US. Sure if you banned democrats or republicans from the country, then you could reduce tensions. But if you censor one side and keep them around, it'll only inflame tensions.

Probably because its dangerous to democracy to silence people who question the integrity of elections. It sends the impression that there is something to hide. And people who suspect that the election was stolen will take this as confirmation of that suspicion. Since they won't be allowed to use that platform to raise their suspicions, no one will be able to respond to them to allay their suspicions. Then as time goes on confirmation bias will lead them to become entrenched in this belief. Eventually this belief (that the elections have been stolen) will lead to the perception of a loss of legitimacy for the government, and consequentially public servants will find it more difficult and dangerous to do their jobs.
You get to the same number vaccinated by Jan 15th or whatever no matter what because we're production limited.

If you managed to give 5 million doses a week earlier, you save about 200 lives (about 40 deaths per million per week).
