Stay at home orders are selective. Focused primarily on industries and jobs where minorities overwhelmingly find themselves. School closures favor children from households that can afford a computer for each child; requiring a parent to stay home, namely a responsibility falling upon women who are dropping out of the workplace at an unprecedented rate. So what then happens to those households who don't have that privilege? Do you care?
The people paying the cost of public health are children, women, poor, and minorities.

Meanwhile I haven't given anything up, so it's very easy for people like us to sit here while earning our full income from home and say, "Yes, this makes sense. It is totally worth it." It's worth it to us because we aren't paying the cost. These stay at home orders and quarantines have overwhelmingly and profoundly impacted people who were already struggling without offering them a path forward. Rest assured the economic uncertainty from shut down was a catalyst behind the BLM protests. The people impacted by shut down are predominantly poor and minorities, and the fact we haven't considered how to share that burden before stabbing in the dark is what makes them racist.

At the global level, malaria kills almost a million people every single year, mostly children under 4. There's no herd immunity and it has and will continue to happen for decades. The WHO anticipates due to new covid travel restrictions on malaria relief workers an additional 3 to 4 hundred thousand deaths due to malaria will occur in Sub Sahara Africa alone. Surely malaria is a pandemic that shadows covid by any measure, except the measure where it overwhelmingly affects poor black people. Meanwhile the second our society is faced with something which mostly kills old white people, the average age of which exceeds the average human lifespan, we're cancelling school and creating a generation of illiterate 2nd grade children while their parents are left with no way to feed them.

So yeah the reaction to covid has been first and foremost selfish, and given the government is a historic institution of race, these orders are themselves the children of our racism.
Nesting them can lead to very not-so-easy to understand logical expressions, furthermore if the parts between ?: is long enough it can also noticeable reduce readability.

Instead of `<cond> ? <left> : <right>` I prefer `if <cond> { <left> } else { <right> }` the additional brackets noticeable improve readability and you can extend it to support `if <cond> { <a> } else if <cond2> { <b> } else { <c>` instead of `<cond> ? <a> : <cond2> ? <b> : <c>`.
(Oh and that last example might be wrong needing brackets depending on operator precedence...)

Through if you don't nest it it doesn't matter (oh and because it's a expression evaluation `else` is not optional but required as you need a value the expression resolves to).
I used my AirPods for roughly 8 hours a day, probably half of it on the phone. They were done after less than a year. Battery empty after 45min and one side running on like 35% volume only.
So, ~50kWh battery packs?
The US SC agrees with you: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/11/us/politics/supreme-court... .
That matches my understanding as well.
It will get warmer in the bay area, but unbearably hot in Austin. Temperatures are rising there too rapidly:

Once you teach people a valuable technique, they don't want to back to being ignorant of that technique or avoid using it when they are able and it's the best tool for the job.

They also don't want to throw away all their other valuable techniques.

Programming with mutation is not just efficient, it is also highly expressive and easy to verify, for the right kinds of problems.

Just because it's useful for writing operating systems, video games and database engines, don't be mistaken in assuming that it's only useful for operating systems, video games and database engines.
Both of those people probably have several homes and easy for them to commute in private jets so don't matter much.
I see it as a way for cloud providers to attract more companies. If CSP X and CSP Y implement a standard pricing model around resources A,B,C then they both benefit when customers use A,B,C. This can be beneficial for smaller/newer CSPs - especially CSPs that want to specialize in providing certain resources.

Now, whether a CSP buys into a "standard" depends on whether it makes sense for them financially. This boils down to whether they can save money by pooling resources/services with other CSPs. I don't have that data but I suspect those opportunities exist.

Perhaps, but remember that many of those who have been infected were asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, leading them to dismiss their symptoms. Given that these people would have no idea that they were infected, they would be just as inclined as the rest of us to get vaccinated.
This, all the way.
What about people who earnestly believe that genocide is justifiable? What should YouTube do with that content? Or people advocating Euthanasia of mentally handicapped individual? I'm not saying I know a good line, but there clearly is one.
They probably will be service EOL (“vintage”) after like 5 years. Even earlier if the sales aren’t good in the first place.
It boggles the mind that millions of Americans still support Trump. It's probably not true but I feel like half the news I read can be boiled down to "Americans are fucking retards and here is one result of said retardation".
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but don't the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines not grant sterilizing immunity, aka you can still be a carrier if you're immunized?
Bingo. Yes, the placement of "IS LIFE" was their guess and yours is so much better.

Supreme Court Rejects Texas Suit Seeking to Overturn Election
Like, the FAA? I think governmental institutions lost much trust the past few years. If big pharma execs band together to publicly state that they will not go onto a fast track on administration wishes, something is very wrong with institutions. And I wouldn't trust a pharma exec farther than I could throw my grand piano.
The order:

https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/121120zr_p86...

Full text of order:

“ The State of Texas’s motion for leave to file a bill of
complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot.
Statement of Justice Alito, with whom Justice Thomas joins: In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction. See Arizona v. California, 589 U. S. ___
(Feb. 24, 2020) (Thomas, J., dissenting). I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.”
Just 0.55% 18y.o. live alone in America? When do you folks start with college?
Oh wow I see, thanks for the pointer! Looking it up now, it seems the increased risk was 1 in 18400, or 0.005%. [1] So I guess it was rare enough that it could easily not have shown up during trials either.

One key point in my question that I'm stuck on, though, if you happen to know the answer: how long did the effects take to become apparent in those children? Were they immediate or did they show up long after vaccination? (I'm mainly wondering how long people should expect to wait before side effects become apparent.)

I appreciate your direct but non-confrontational reply. FWIW I'm quite carefully staying behind the line of "death-wishing", in "it is what it is" territory.

Multiple social issues throughout 2020 have together completely exhausted my usual compassion and optimism towards people. 300,000 Americans and 1.6 million people worldwide are dead but many millions more still don't see this as a public health emergency. Moreover, beleaguered medical workers have been harassed everywhere online and fist fights and other assaults have been reported across the country that were started by wearing a mask. And then there's the cyclopsian intersection in the venn diagram of "people who are aggressively anti-mask" and "people who are unconcerned with or even violently opposed to the health and safety of anybody outside their tribe".

From an entirely pragmatic standpoint, the freedom to choose one's own destiny is arguably the most important human right. All of the information necessary to protect yourself and those around you from this disease is now widely available. Most people who wish to minimize their risk of exposure can do so, with the notable exception of the many medical workers who have been, not asked, but demanded, to put themselves at risk in the service of people who believe those same medical workers are part of some vast conspiracy.

So, I'm asking honestly here, to you or whoever else: convince me to care about the plight of terrible people.
YouTube censors content all the time. Pornography and pirated content, being just the most obvious examples. Others that want censored content have only to look to other sites to find that content.

In my opinion, YouTube should (and does) have content standards, and be extremely free in how they determine them. People certainly have a right to publish and consume conspiracy theories, but I don't understand why YouTube has anything close to an obligation to host or promote them.
> you almost never get a balanced view presenting arguments for all sides

By banning allegations of election fraud you could change "almost never" to "never".
It's worth separating the two types of 'high risk': There's 'high risk of having a severe response to COVID' and 'high risk of getting COVID'. The former (e.g. elderly) are not always the same as the latter (healthcare workers) - but there are some overlaps (e.g. care homes).

My hunch is most of the queues for vaccines will be type A e.g. the elderly. Not necessarily more likely to have COVID, but more likely to be at risk of severe symptoms if they were to get it.

I would be interested in reading more about this, as well, but am uncertain how to go about searching for it.
I feel it's exactly the other way around. People are dead just as much irrespective whether they died on 9/11 or because of Covid or because of, let's say, a traffic accident. Family and friends will miss them just as much.

To me giving a different weight to different causes of death is what seems the more emotional response. If your feelings are influenced by that context for why we care, that is emotional. There's nothing inherent in the distinction between those circumstances that should influence how much we care.
The children are very young, under 3yo. I don't think they have much of an online presence but I will be sure to inquire and do some op-sec on those accounts if needed.

From what I gather, all relatives are on board with the victim leaving. Point taken, though.

The victim packed up their apartment and left today with a U-Haul and is en route to a neutral location that the abuser doesn't know of. Only the victim's parents (and me) know where they are.

Everyone I talk to says the same thing- people are the weakest link. There's something to that for sure.
Not sure where Larry's going to moor his yacht in Austin.
Fair point -- I should have been more clear, this analysis was based on comparing the post-lockup price to the first trade, and also to the primary offering price (not 180 days to 179 days). You'd sometimes see a drop from the "pop" price, although not always, and it would almost never fall below the primary price.
NY’s position right now is ridiculous. I hope the courts rule that NY has no right to tax income for someone who hasn’t stepped foot in NY since March.
So your argument is "government bad". I counter with "government good". See how productive this discussion is?
I begged and begged and got a Centris 610 (4MB RAM/80MB HD) without a CD-ROM drive when I was young. It was certainly a step up from the LC series with also a Motorola 68040. At least it wasn't a Performa from Circuit City lol. Those were awful.
Oracle Redwood Shores (Old HQ) is one of the most beautiful campus of tech company in Silicon Valle with trails etc and a lake where the America's Cup winning Catamaran is parked. Wonder if they will move that to Austin as well.
A very interesting paper. It would nice to see more on the topic as quantative studies how the change happens.
Why would it decrease it? It seems to me it would only increase it. The people likely to get the flu are the same group likely to get covid. The flu is harder to get than covid.
> Because Apple offers luxury products. People who buy luxury products are willing to pay a premium for it. Not understanding that different people value different things from you is a very weird stance to take. I personally wouldn't pay the premium price to lease a luxury automobile, but I understand why other people do it.

But understanding it doesn’t mean you cannot criticize it?
Ask HN: Why does Reddit censor user content on behalf of the CCP?
I'm not just talking about the default subreddit mods, but actual admins (reddit employees).

An on-going example: Chinese P ol ice Rut hlessly Be ati ng Uyghur Muslim in Ha nd cuffs (https://old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/kb497a/chinese_police_ruthlessly_beating_uyghur_muslim/) - Archived link: https://web.archive.org/web/20201211200928/https://old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/kb497a/chinese_police_ruthlessly_beating_uyghur_muslim/.

This thread was briefly locked by /r/PublicFreakout mods, as seen here: https://old.reddit.com/r/WatchRedditDie/comments/kb8m3f/removed_cuz_u_cant_say_anything_bad_about_china/. The mods unlocked the thread again, but if you look closely then you can see that this was done in collaboration with reddit admins deranking/censoring the thread.

This is clearly evident by the fact that:

(1): the `crosspost` button has disappeared from that thread (it's still visible on all other /r/PublicFreakout threads)

(2): If you go through all the /r/PublicFreakout pages then the thread is nowhere to be found. Here are some achieved links in case anyone want to verify after the thread has already become old: Page 1: https://web.archive.org/web/20201211200853/https://old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/, Page 2: https://web.archive.org/web/20201211201110/https://old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/?count=25&after=t3_kb7mby, and Page 3: https://web.archive.org/web/20201211201117/https://old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/?count=50&after=t3_kaqd2p.

(3): If you look at most popular threads for the past 24 hours, then it's nowhere to be found (Archived link: https://web.archive.org/web/20201211233512/https://old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/top/)

At the time of writing, the thread is 8 hours old with 2504 comments, 18k upvotes and 60 awards. Yet on the Top threads in the past 24 hours on /r/PublicFreakout then you can even find a thread that's 20 hours old with 218 upvotes, 12 comments and zero awards.
I have been watching him since March. He can only talk about dweeezeban1 and dweezeban2. I ordered some dweezeban2 for my horse on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Durvet-Ivermectin-Paste-Equine-Deworm...

There is no evidence that dweezeban2 works against COVID. Just like there is no evidence of election fraud. Protests are mostly peaceful.

I have so had it with media and big tech.
Ok what if your telephone or internet company decided the same thing? We will listen in to your private conversations and if you say something we don’t like we will terminate your contract.

Some services are so large and entrenched that they have become natural monopolies that need to be regulated. We place restrictions on what natural monopolies can do because of the effects on society as a whole.

The question that needs to be debated is if YouTube has reached the status of a natural monopoly or not. I think it probably has, but I am open to evidence on the other side.
Yeah they were trying to show how 'open for business' we were after Brexit. Open to getting screwed more like.
Wow, and that is really impressive. I'm guessing that means the noise I typically associate with lawnmowers is more the engine than the blades/vacuum. Maybe that means it's time to find my finest nimby-hat and try to get a ban on two-stroke engines implemented here.
Yes, definitely so can a website.

The whole point of Apps is that they are reviewed and therefore are safer than random stuff on the web.

It’s would be scaremongering if these kinds of threat were hypothetical, but of they are pretty widely known.
No, you made my childhood! I was kind of a lonely kid and discovering computing (via the Mac) and getting these shareware discs and playing Ambrosia games was like finding something really magical.

Who Moderates the Social Media Giants? (2020) [pdf]
Not on HN, though.
Awesome link, thanks. Good all around useful info!

There is a restraining order, active court cases, bail, all that stuff. The victim is packed up and moving out of their shared apartment today to a neutral location. I guess what I meant by that is that we are in a rural area. Police response time to a 911 call is regularly 45+ minutes. A violent spouse can do a lot of things in 45 minutes. Best to avoid that entirely.

I'm reasonably sure that the victim's physical security will be assured as of this evening. I'm looking forward, trying to think ahead of any ways (technical or not) that the abuser could use to find their new location.

Supreme Court Rejects Trump Bid to Overturn Election Results
This woman's testimony starts at 1:34:40

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZXkAv7yKgw&list=UU8Ioh4atND...

I use this example because I find it particularly blatant, but there are many examples to choose from.

According to her testimony, ballots which had two intentional marks (e.g., one for Biden, and one for Trump) would go to Biden.

When she raised challenges to this, she was ignored. When she escalated to the supervisor running the floor, she was ridiculed.

There were many other witnesses at TCF Center who shared similar stories.

"Elites don't promote racism because they're racists, they promote racism because it's a mechanism of control."

That may be true, but the policy we were discussing (property tax funding education as an example of 'every policy being racist') affects large portions of both whites and minorities, and thus does not make it a racist.

"Elites get the proles fighting each other and each coalition starts demanding aversarial policies that harm the outgroup and neither hurt nor help the elites, but keep everyone distracted and fighting each other."

If that's your premise, then your position is moot. This is happening already.

I'm a little cautious about this mRNA vaccine. Novavax though looks awesome, it produces some insane amount of anitbodies and uses a very well established vaccine tech.
They do in fact pay $800, but in small chunks. Still they pay the full price, right?
Yeah. But it is not real relationship with them. You are not getting to know them nor getting to understand them.

It is just feeling good about people who don't show their strugglers and their real themselves to you.

Speaking from experience here.
Did Cloud Functions launch the equivalent to Lambda launch yet?
This is categorically false. If you're a Texas resident, working for a California based company, but doing your work remotely in Texas, you absolutely do not owe taxes in California.

The concept of "work done for California" does not exist. If the work is done in Texas (at your house), you pay Texas taxes (no income tax).
> I would personally much rather not spend time with people I didn't choose to spend time with.

:D you posted pretty much exactly what I did.

I grew up on a farm so it was kind of funny reading "A lot of farms don't have access to electricity"

It's weird to read something like that. Every farm in my farming hometown had power nearby. Heck, you'll see power lines all across Idaho primarily for farmers running pumps. You simply don't get more rural than Idaho.

To put things into perspective, this house has power.

I wonder if you are using SSDs instead of DRAM for the search index as Google did in 1998. Actually, a more detailed comparison of Mojeek with Google in 1998 would be interesting.

Barrier to entry in Ag is the dealerships. Deere has the best US dealership network for heavy equipment outside of CAT. It is Ok if your Tesla is in the shop for a few weeks getting fixed, but for Ag equipment, even a few hours at the wrong time is super painful. Deere has parts for 20yr old equipment and their own freight trucks, don't overlook this advantage.
Oh boy, do I hope we don't talk about the US in 2021, anymore. It's been like a slightly different, ever the same car crash you drive by, every day. For four fucking years. I am sure my dopamine receptors look like old, all dries up raisins by now. I wish we as a species could agree stop all news for year or ten. Detox and heal, form new habits like life has value and shit.
I agree with your reading. For what it’s worth, my agreement was initially based on personal experience with people who exhibit NPD traits, but I decided to refresh my memory of the DSM criteria. I know the DSM isn’t the only, or even best, resource for diagnosis questions[1]... but of its 9 criteria, 7 are either in whole or in part accommodating to low self esteem and the kinds of things described in this article.

I may be biased by the article’s prose (and by the site itself), but I get the sense that this is a diagnostic motivated to associate general expressions of victimhood (including the more visible expressions of trauma and oppression alluded to in the article) with harmful and manipulative expressions of victimhood that are plenty common in NPD (and certainly BPD).

I’m not qualified to draw that conclusion in a meaningfully scientific way, but I’m certainly skeptical that there’s a distinction in this classification that warrants distinction. And I think the harm it could do if adopted is pretty significant.

[1]: From personal experience, I likely wouldn’t have been diagnosed ADHD without being prepared with some creativity.
