> The Utah Data Center (UDC), also known as the Intelligence Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Data Center, is a data storage facility for the United States Intelligence Community that is designed to store data estimated to be on the order of exabytes or larger. Its purpose is to support the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI), though its precise mission is classified. The National Security Agency (NSA) leads operations at the facility as the executive agent for the Director of National Intelligence.

Right, I think parent isn’t talking about slowing the spread, but fatality rate in isolation. Since the deaths are highly concentrated in older people, once they’re all vaccinated then COVID will, on average, be much less lethal and there will be much less pressure on ICU beds.

Tangential:

Pure impl v2:

class foo {
public:
//enum is a keyword, so let's call it _enum
const _enum current_operator;
foo(_enum co) : current_operator(co) { }
// ... evalOp() as in your stateful impl example ...
};

//Example use:
Reduce(foo{ADD}, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);

Point being, functional purity doesn't necessarily mean only functions taking all their inputs as arguments. It means no mutable state. In the above example, the class foo essentially represents a partially applied evalOp(). If you have multiple, related functions working on similar sets of parameters, you could put them in such a class with const members to create what is essentially a package of partially applied functions.

Fatalities, not infections. Average age of death is in the high 70s or 80s, so vaccinating the elderly is definitely the best way to drop that particular metric.

Show HN: Inspect iOS traffic without messing Proxy and Certificate
Hi HN.

I've recently built a Swift OSS - Atlantis[1] - which uses Method Swizzling[2] to automatically capture all traffic then transmitting it to the Proxyman [3] macOS app via Bonjour Server[4] for a later inspector.

Therefore, no need to mess up with HTTP Proxy or Certificate anymore. It just works.

Hopefully, it's easier to help folks debug your iOS app.

In canada we have vaccinated 58,818 so far or 0.16% of the population https://covid19tracker.ca/vaccinationtracker.html .

This is moronic reasoning. Just because stocks are "cheap" relative to bonds right now does not make stocks an "attractive" investment. As Buffet says, never confuse price with value.

For the people that haven't noticed, a global pandemic and lockdowns killed 40% of small businesses this year, forced many large businesses to take on new debts that will blunt future profits, and forced the government into unprecedented deficits. Stocks are "cheap" because risk went up.
Why does it need to be any more complicated than a flu shot? You can get those on demand at most pharmacies, urgent care clinics, even many employers set up dates/times for it on-site.

OK there's some special cold-storage needed, and you need two doses, so maybe it will be a little more complicated, but in practice I'm expecting that we'll get to a point where you just walk in to a local vaccination provider and get the shot.

A computation model doesn't have to be Turing complete to be useful in practice. Consider a language where all programs must halt - all loops must be bounded, and recursion is not allowed - you can still solve a lot of problems with a language like this, but you cannot say, run Brainfuck, as such a language is not Turing complete.
> Net population growth has not certainly peaked.

Net population growth peaked 30 years ago, see [0].

The rest is "technically true" if you argue solely based on an exponential model. That's not how it works. There is more to modelling population growth (or a pandemic for that matter) than just fitting an exponential.

People had lots of children in the past because almost half of them died young and the parents needed children to care for them when they were old. So they defaulted to "more children". Then child mortality was brought down and people adapted with delay - which lead to more people growing up and increasing the population. Then people adapted and the fertility rate fell a lot and in some cases even very fast. Compare how fast Iran an South Korea transitioned and see how long it took the United Kingdom to do so before [1].

That's true, it's just a prediction. The first doses are going to care homes which have a wildly disproportionate number of COVID cases that end up in hospitalization. I think it's around 30%. And these people can also stay in the hospital longer, trying up beds.

Vaccinating these retirement homes, even with a single dose, should rapidly decrease the load on hospitals.

That's why I think people aren't being optimistic enough about recovery times. When 40% of the hospitalized cases are gone we can handle even a huge surge without overloading health systems. Since most lockdown metrics are based on hospital load, this means taking the country out of lockdown

The people going out, being social and contributing to case counts are mostly younger healthy people. Which are among the last to get vaccinated. There was a fascinating article here a while ago claiming that if we vaccinated those people first, we actually would stop the spread far quicker.

> Basically what I'm saying is, if functional programming is so great, why did LISP et al not take over the world? (Not a LISP hater, just curious).

Because the two aren't the same. Sure, some of the functional programming techniques were invented or had one of their first implementations in early Lisps. But Lisp family isn't built around functional programming per se (particularly with two of the most popular Lisps today, Common Lisp and Emacs Lisp, being multiparadigm languages, with the former having an OOP model that puts everything else to shame). Lisp did take off, but then died in the early 90s because of AI winter, and in the meantime C took off. Lisp never recovered, but it lives on in a way, having invented and refined half of the techniques we use in programming languages today.

(That's not to say Lisp is dead dead. Plenty of active development is going on. Scheme subfamily is alive and kicking, lots of code is being written in Emacs Lisp and Common Lisp too, and it shows up in many unexpected places. Hell, probably everyone at some point writes their half-baked, bug-ridden reimplementation of Lisp when they end up writing evaluators for XML or JSON.)

+1 for nix and home-manager. Most other solutions make it hard to manage installing packages on different flavors of Linux. You can get even more fancy by using the direnv integration to have specific versions of binaries available when entering a directory. See https://www.mathiaspolligkeit.de/dev/exploring-nix-on-macos/ . By checking in the nix files into your projects directory, you get really reproducible projects, because all you have to do is to checkout the project then run direnv allow and nix/home-manager will install all tools needed to run/build that specific projects. Different projects can use different versions of tools.
It’s more reaching the optimal solution rather than lack of innovation. Look at commercial airliners for example. All of them look very similar, except for the number of engines, and size. It’s not the lack of innovation, it’s due to the fact that we have reached the optimal equilibrium of what an airliner should look like, given the restrictions and design goals of what an airliner needs to be.

The same applies to other day to day products as well.

But innovation still happens, by creating a new class of product. All carriages started looking the same, until the automobile was invented.

N=1, but childcare has been the biggest avenue of infections I've seen here in Germany. Basically every childcare of colleagues with children has been shut down at one point in October/November (when the numbers started rising here) due to infections among the children. In most cases one or multiple of the families have been completely infected as a result of that, and I guess the only reason it hasn't spread around the workplace is due to good precautions.

Vaccines are traditionally not very profitable. Companies don't have an incentive to ramp up production ASAP because they know as soon as everybody is vaccinated demand will tank. There's plenty more profitable things to spend their time and resources on.

However, for everyone besides the drug companies it's advantageous to manufacture doses as quickly as possible.

It's the same reason DPA is used in wars. It would be vastly more profitable to produce scarce luxury items but not in the best interest of society.

The interests of drug companies and society are not completely aligned here and DPA would force them to apply all their resources to the problem, rather than maximum profitability.

It’s a failure in the sense that people put too much confidence in this kind of algorithm and put them above any eye witness when they should just be considered as another element.
I’ve always thought that vaccinating elderly and first responders was less about stopping spread and more about reducing fatalities among the most vulnerable. After all it is the least vulnerable who are most likely to be the main spreaders, and until a reasonable portion of <65 year olds are vaccinated, the spread is likely to continue and probably even flatten before that point.

However since most countries in the world are in the middle of a 2nd/3rd wave, it makes absolute sense to vaccinate the vulnerable first rather than try race against the curve with a vaccination programme. Especially when the vaccination lag is longer than the spread.
That's like comparing a UN food drop in a war zone without any food and going grocery shopping.
Every time I think about anger, I end up concluding it must originate from fear. Frequently that fear is related to one’s status in various social groups and/or perceived lack of control. What fundamental fear is of in specific circumstances IMO determines whether the anger downstream is, to quote the article, “correct”.

If someone stole from you a little, the underlying fear could be that it is a trend, your subsistence is directly in danger, and/or that your social status is becoming such that others feel comfortable stealing from you[0]. Payback desire is the desire to reaffirm your status and deter future occurrences.

If you feel angry because of something your spouse has done, there may be a hidden fear of losing control, or losing them. Being angry is probably going to be the least optimal response, and the need for control could be something worth working on.

If someone physically attacked you, what kind of fear lies behind your anger is obvious. (Anecdotally, I get a brief flash of irrational anger if I accidentally and suddenly hit my head, e.g. at some low-hanging feature. I think somehow this triggers the same response as if I was physically attacked. Lasts milliseconds.)

The more confident, relaxed, and non-controlling one is, the less cause there would be for anger.

[0] It doesn’t have to be, depending on circumstances: if you are an affluent tourist with a fat bank account and real estate, and someone snatches your wallet while you are walking down a night market in a developing country you are visiting, you have not much reason to be angry: sure, it’s an inconvenience to call your bank and block credit cards, but objectively you are not in trouble, and you are detached from society in which the theft took place. A local resident could have a radically different response in the same scenario.
Young people have far lower fatality and hospitalization rates though. If COVID only infected people under 40 it would be equivalent to a bad flu season.

A lot of reason for mask wearing and social distancing is to protect the vulnerable
