But the worst in Northern Europe, by far.
I've been a proponent of this idea until now that I am in a position to vote for it. Now I'm not sure if I'm convinced that people are ready for it.
I've invested significant effort in working and having a job, and, I wouldn't have have done that if I knew I could have still "gotten by" without, I'd definitely not be where I am today without that outside pressure to _not_fail_. I'd be probably dead or at least morbidly obese from doing nothing but sitting and watching TV/playing videogames.

I'm actually more in favor of entirely removing any economic support, that people can use to buy what they _want_, I'd much rather give people what they _need_ to survive, anything beyond that (tobacco, alcohol, entertainment, fashion clothing, cars, etc..) should be the privilege earned by working.
God the macro bs..and your people have tha audacity to complain about C++....
Why would they not get the booster?
So in a way people go to work for reasons other than simply the salary.

This is critical. Most people think passion first, then you'll find the perfect job, and it's not always like that. You may need to work for a while in order to find what you truly are good at, and enjoy.

For that to happen, though, there needs to be reduced red tape and taxes, so switching jobs is easy and affordable for both parties.

UBI torpedoes this: it means higher taxes, and reduces the incentives to look for a better job.
Afaik, the naming of locations is peer-reviewed automatically and by Google Maps users (they have the Local Guide program for this), but actual road changes are a different process.

> But if the liability is unlimited & unknowable, your new chemical might turn a profit & do some good - or you might be sued into bankruptcy, and you can't know for sure which it will be, no matter how much study you do. It's just gambling.

New technology is always a gamble. It's just a matter of who pays -- the people who profited, or the bystanders who had nothing to do with it? If you want to do business and protect yourself against downside risk, take out insurance and do enough due diligence to satisfy the insurance provider. Passing off the risks to third parties just because currently there is no accountability system in place is not a just system.
This fascinates me. Is there a website anywhere that is collecting these sorts of use cases? It seems truly mind blowing something as simple as an electric toothbrush would have a processor in it.
Well, the general upvoting of the free versions of things seem to indicate that it is pretty interesting to a lot of people here. I mean, not everyone here is in a position to pay for these things especially when in many cases you don't know what you are getting or you are not in a position to judge it's value.

Thanks for informing me, I'm surprised that it wouldn't be obvious that my "quote" is paraphrasing the tone of your message, but if it is confusing then I'll find other ways to express that.

Anyway, the burden of proof is on anyone who makes any claim in a debate. And you do make a claim:

> This information is incorrect.

... without any further explanation as to why that claim would be more correct than the claim by the person you disagree with.

Or put in other words: there is nothing in the comment that would be of any substantial help to a third person reading along who doesn't know anything about Gecko or Servo. Even if they were to believe that you were right they wouldn't know what the correct information is!
> It's really weird, each doctor who examined my hearing was amazed how well I actually hear without any aids with my condition.

The brain is amazing - I realized how much I rely on visual cues for hearing when I very faintly "heard" a GIF of someone mouthing the words f* you!

Another thing is the ambiguity that comes with not really hearing high pitched sounds - many words with consonants become very hard to distinguish. "Cat - hat - sat" are similar visually and if you only hear "at - at - at", your brain is still able to tell which one is the correct by context. This is terrible when learning a new language though.
State job guarantee makes valuable workers go to useless jobs. It makes harder for private companies to recruit those workers. State job not only gives income that disincentives workers to search something better but also tire them and binds them with inertia.

Just giving people money is way less harmful then giving them money and excuse of a job to take away their time and strength from them.
Herd immunity is a potential side-effect of a virus hitting a population, it was never the strategy!

If you have a pandemic with a new virus it would be kind off incompetent of the epidemiologists to not try to calculate if the population will reach herd immunity or not. That does NOT mean that heard immunity is the goal.

So where is your source on herd immunity strategy? Or will you just keep on spreading lies?

EDIT: Off course Sweden, just as Finland admits, calculated and talked about herd immunity. But there is not a single shred of proof that they picked that as a strategy. Do you really think everyone at the FHM (health agency) colluded on doing this behind the backs of the population and then they all keep it a secret? Why? What would there motives be?
Just a note about Spain. It's mostly Catholic so culturally the protestant work ethic is pretty weak there.

Same also for Italy and Ireland I guess. It's half and half in England. It's more protestant in Scotland, and of course the US was founded on the notion

The south of Germany is meant to be Catholic but I don't know if culturally they are more laid back when it comes to work there.

Mutations happen all the time regardless of vaccines. The vaccine adds evolutionary pressure and will likely give an advantage to the bearers of particular mutations.
I am right now making backlight with RGB LEDs for my monitors. It is going to have Cortex-M4 ARM in it.

I put into just about everything I build these days regardless of how small it is.
It's a reasonable assumption, considering that 90% of the nurses in the US are female.
Activity is important but the welfare dependency doesn't seem much worse than the normal job market / company dependency. I was harassed and conned a few times in my jobs and the notion that the people in front of me holds the power to my monthly finances was a heavy and dreadful feeling. And they know it.
I've done this sort of thing before manually routing based on OSM maps.

A friend of mine and I rented a AWD vehicle to be able to drive on the "F roads" in the internal part of Iceland, which is beautiful but very desolate. (I'd be surprised if the inspiration for Mordor didn't come from some places Iceland in fact.) I had downloaded the OSM maps on my tablet and was just manually plotting routes that looked like they could be interesting.

It was great fun, but it sort of turns out that there are F roads and there are F roads. Some of the roads are fairly flat, easy to pick out, and you see a car at least once every hour. Some of the roads... well, one road went steeply up, then without warning into what was basically a giant sand bowl half a mile in diameter. We were in the "bowl", with sand who knows how deep (deep enough that the car had trouble making forward progress) before we knew what was happening. In the middle of nowhere, with no cell signal and not having seen anyone for hours.

Thankfully, by turning around and just keeping the accelerator on, we were able to build up enough momentum to get back over the ridge by which we'd come in; but it was definitely a close shave.

I could imagine the same story as TFA happening with OSM maps.
In Germany, at least three quarters of nurses are women from what I would guess. So if you actually want to take a bet, betting on them being a woman makes you at least three times as likely to be correct as other bets.

Edit: first source I could find says that in 2007, 86% of nurses were women in Germany:

Most people are getting poorer. Their only way out is fighting for a job, but jobs are scarce, and the situation will get worse exponentially due to technological unemployment.

That's not an ideologically-constructed problem.

It's pure logic. What is ideologically-driven, in my opinion, is claiming that "other jobs will be created, so no need to worry". Which implies, on the other hand, that the poor deserve being poor, due to their own negligence, lack of education, or laziness. We don't need to care about them. We provide a capitalist system which rewards the brave and the competent, and it's meritocratic. That is pure ideology, not based on reality.
I imagine something along the lines of:

typedef char* charp;
#define P
#define T charp
#include <lst.h>

typedef struct { int x, y; } point;
#define P
#define T point
#include <lst.h>

int main(void)
{
lst_charp a = lst_charp_init();
lst_point b = lst_point_init();
lst_charp_push_back(&a, "the");
lst_charp_push_back(&a, "quick");
lst_charp_push_back(&a, "brown");
lst_charp_push_back(&a, "fox");
lst_point_push_back(&b, (point) { 53, 32 });
lst_point_push_back(&b, (point) { 11, 22 });
lst_point_push_back(&b, (point) { 83, 23 });
lst_charp_free(&a);
lst_point_free(&b);
}
Oh cool! I'll definitely take a look. Thanks!
I'm not sure this qualifies as an operations research problem.

I mean, there is zero drawback from administering a vaccine. There is no need to pick between vaccines. Vaccine cost is also not a constraint.

Thus the optimal solution is, unequivocally, administer as many vaccines as possible, regardless of their effectiveness.

The only thing that qualifies as a operations research problem is how to distribute a limited output of vaccines across a population in order to minimize the epidemic's spread and fatalities.
The mRNA vaccines certainly look like a break-through in vaccine technology and with that technology now being used, it should be a good base for future vaccines. However I think the biggest change society in the west should take from Covid-19 is better disease fighting preparations. A lot of countries managed to avoid Covid-19 almost alltogether. All nations should learn from this. There are plenty of steps to be taken which could mostly prevent the catastrophic results of Covid-19 so the 9 months it took now to get an approved vaccine would have been an acceptable waiting time.

- reporting of the initial outbreak in Wuhan was too slow, but still, many countries acted in time.

- whenever a local outbreak of a similar new disease is reported, all countries should immideately go on an alert level, so that when the disease starts to spread, they can act immediately. If efficient reactions had been taken in January, a lot of things had been easier.

- of course watch international travel closely. If you close down flights, close down all travels. It doesn't make sense to ban flights from China, when the virus was coming to the US from Italy. It doesn't make sense to ban EU travellers but allow them to enter relaying via Turkey. Even better: don't ban flight travel, but test on arrival, make a short quarantine mandatory, that is more effective.

- lock down quickly and hard where neccessary, especial with local outbreaks

and the by far biggest elephant in the room:

- better hygene overall. Everyone should own proper masks, FFP2 masks should be stock piled by the government in generous amounts. Going forward, if you have symptoms of any infectious disease, wear a fucking mask! Even if it is the common cold, there is absolutely no justification to spread them to strangers. Even if it is not a deadly pandemic, infectious diseases could be reduced considerably by masks and hand sanitizing/washing. The yearly flu is deadly enough, there are no reasons to let it spread so freely.
yeah Grafana is probably the default choice I see at most customer sites for dashboards!
We should have gone for Kamikaze nurses who bug-chase the virus early in the year and then protect the elderly. Of course with heavy compensation (basically all the stimulus that could be prevented). I think for e.g. 500k there would have been plenty of volunteers
Wow the stupidity of HN commenters. Do you really think that Yandex developers minutely picked the route between 2 points or PERHAPS the shorter road in question was marked as impassable by whoever punched its GPS coordinates in the database? Do you really think developers take care of the whole product from start to finish? I pity your coworkers.
> It's mostly Catholic so culturally the protestant work ethic is pretty weak there.

So is Italy, my country.

And I think there is a strong correlation with the fact that in Italy and Spain capitalism is different from, say, Germany or Netherlands.
Fashion is hardly an industry where it is easy to achieve fame or success, let alone "immortal" notoriety like Lagerfeld or Cardin. However, it is true that countries with a lot of luxury fashion houses are more likely to consider fashion as a proper art form than not. That's an important distinction from software. Successful designers are artists and that accounts for something in the way their legacy is celebrated.
that's not what your links says nor what pfizer tested/claims?
pfizer didn't test for infections, they tested for symptoms. Pfizer doesn't know if the infection rate is changed (could be more, could be less, who knows)
Porkbun is also recommended usually.
There are lots of examples in physics of math solutions leading to discoveries. On the plus side string theory is a tool that makes it possible to derive conjectures. One day we will find a testable prediction..
I think it is more of a land grab, "capturing the value" as it were, that's prompting this rot in the tech industry. And as with anything on the Internet, it is either ruined by the advertisment dollars or pressures of taking VC money.

The new-age investors (post-2005), though, "founder friendly", tend to somehow favour extreme user hostile behaviour because "growth".
There's no need to take that bet if you can instead just read the article, however. No idea why you bring up a German statistic.
Very interesting to see a project built on top of Underlay! I've worked in the space ~2 years ago when Underlay was still in stealth mode and haven't heard from them since. It looks like it has grown into possibly the solution for decentralized knowledge graphs that ticks most of the boxes we were aiming for back then.

Where there any other similar technologies that you considered instead of Underlay and what made you choose this one specifically?
Is it "stealing" if its something unused and actually needed for basic life and decency by other people?
Sovereign nations don't indebt themselves through banks. They're not taking out loans to fund their spending, so they don't need a creditor

Avoiding hyperinflation is about "how" you spend the money, not where they come from. In the case of Zimbabwe, the events leading up to their crash was massive destruction of productivity, which meant their wealth generation no longer matched the amount of money in circulation

The trust in their currency took a nosedive, because of the confiscation of assets from wealthy farmers - basically a clear message saying, that the government will not protect assets purchased with their currency, making it risky to own and use

Most western economies are much more stable and have high levels of demand for their currencies, which acts as a counterweight to inflation as well

Naming companies with founder's name fell out of (ekhm) fashion in business. It used to be Bell, Ford, Disney, Helwett&Packard, now it's Apple, Google, Facebook.

Still, I'd bet an average person knows more famous visionaire/entrepreneur people (like Jobs and Gates) than famous fashion designers.
Sets (and maps) are implemented as red black trees in the STL. The STL unordered_set (and unordered_map) is what I believe Java would call a HashMap, unless I am mistaken (I am not a Java guru).
You’re not in the minority, and even if you were, you’d be in the majority of people that actually pay for the product. Marketers send these emails because they work.
Nothing mind blowing. Processor is cheaper than building analog circuitry.

Think about your toothbrush. All important timing parameters are configured digitally and you can easily change it. You can technically do the same with resonators but it would take much more board space, be less precise, require inductors which you want to avoid in the circuit, etc.
Well it goes both ways, we can neither assume long term immunity nor lack of long term immunity.

But it's not even a binary: the most likely outcome (by far I think) is that strong immunity of the quality that keeps you even from becoming a symptom-less spreader for a few days won't be lasting, but infection will never again be as dangerous as it was the first time (or would have been the first time, without a vaccine). The immune system is a memory hierarchy.
Google maps directed me through a lake in Colombia and drove me in circles in South Africa once.

While it’s a great product, I would not put my life in its hands.
Because of ethics in drug development. And these rules are there for a reason. Not sure what could have been done better with Covid vaccines, we have three now roughly a year after the first cases. All of them work and are either certified or on the track to soon be. We even have four if you include the Russian one.

Summing up the ethics part: Studies include volunteers in a controlled environment. Just administering un approved stuff to people means using people as guinea pigs. I don't want that, and it is doubtful we would have gained anything. Because now it is "simple" distribution and production problem.
Not complaining, but I'm surprised this reached the front page. Was Pierre Cardin closer to tech somehow than other famous fashion designers?
But why make the assumption at all? 90% or not, in this case it was wrong.
I think this idea only really speaks to the Roam Research crowd, which is quite esoteric. Non the less, it is cool project.
> The only way that free speech works is that people feel free to vociferously disagree. Given the volume of, say, Domingos' tweets, he certainly feels free to disagree. At this point the same can be said of Gebru and Anandkumar. Great! What's the problem here? Can't we just all just argue and get along?

Well, given that Anandkumar tried to publicly shame a number of people over these discussions, clearly we can't all argue and get along if this is what it devolves into.

And that's kind of the point. Why can't we have innocuous discussions that end in "let's agree to disagree" without someone deciding that public humiliation and threats to people's careers are now okay? Why are the stakes suddenly inflated to "the future of female involvement in STEM" in these squabbles?

We can go around and around over who said what, but clearly Anandkumar crossed an ethical boundary here, and it's important to call that out. Creating a more diverse and inclusive community does not involve public threats. I wish that didn't need to be said, but apparently it does.

Vaccines have "efficacy" (lab conditions) and "effectiveness" (real-world conditions) as two different metrics.

Vaccine efficacy- % reduction in disease incidence in a vaccinated group compared to an unvaccinated group under optimal conditions (example: Randomized Control Trial).

Vaccine effectiveness- ability of vaccine to prevent outcomes of interest in the “real world”.

This short interview with a virologist is interesting for contrasting between different vaccines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2KVKn0BvlM
Sorry to hear that always happens to your projects. Maybe you should change career.
It shouldn't be up to people to have to spend time and money to correct Google's errors, and to stop Google inconviencing them. Somehow, it has become completely accepted for Google/FB/et al to make profits while shifting costs and externalities onto society.

Why do we allow these tech giants to treat us so disgracefully?
From where I stand the most important part is rent, water, veggies and some meat. The rest most people can learn and do themselves on their free time. Maybe have fablabs generalized so you get access to space and tools and off you go.
I don't think people stop working with UBI. What it does provide though, is a safety net to make sure you'll have food on the table but no more.

Suddenly if you're hating your job, it's not that scary to tell your boss that their abuse is over. You can have some time to re-train, and be whatever you really wanted to be.

There's also loads of activities that aren't counted as work that would suddenly become very developed such as volunteering.

Yes, some people might suddenly realise that if they live on the cheap they might play video games all day, but I don't think it will be most people.

It also depends how it's rolled-out, if its start at 50 EUR a month, then increases each year for the next 15 years, the economy will have the time to adapt, the citizens will have the time to adapt etc.

It also present an interesting effect. Low paid jobs that aren't well valued such as cashier or delivery person will become less attractive and will have to be paid decently to be worth it. Contracts with a lower amount of hours would also become more common
Most research suggests that the fatality rate for COVID increases exponentially with age. IMO the health risks for people below <50 years alone probably doesn't justify any restrictions. The stronger argument is that younger people are prime vectors for spreading the disease to people who are at greater risk.
