Here's a more recent presentation from the ACIP working group: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-...

The order the working group currently proposes:

1a: health care personnel, long-term care facility residents

1b: frontline essential workers, persons aged 75 years and older

1c: persons aged 65-74 years, persons aged 16-64 years with high-risk conditions, essential workers not recommended in phase 1b

2: all people aged 16 years and older not in phase 1, who are recommended for vaccination

The parent comment is also mischaracterizing the reasons the presentation gives for putting essential workers at the same priority as persons aged 65-74. Here's what it says (page 33):

* Essential Workers are at high risk of exposure. Prevention of disease will reduce transmission

* Preserves services essential to the COVID-19 response and overall functioning of society. “Multiplier effect”

* Workers unable to work from home

* High level of interaction with public or
others in the workplace

* May be unable to control social
distancing

* Frequently interact with others in
the workplace

* Racial and ethnic minority groups disproportionately represented in many essential industries

* ~1/4 of essential workers live in low-income families
There was a story recently about a real-life event that started out a lot like the scenario in Lord of the Flies, i. e. a group of children stranded on an island.

It turns out their society started looking after their weakest and made decisions based on consent.

Meanwhile, the book just confirms everyone's beliefs not only about children but mankind itself, namely of a Hobbesian/Darwinian/Randian rule-of-the-strongest being the natural state of affairs.

One mapping product that's rarely mentioned but seems to run on an entirely different/unique stack is 2GIS (https://2gis.ru). It's incredibly detailed and ubiquitous in Russia among other places.

>So we shouldnt shame the richest company on earth for using slave labor because its about "china"?

No, that’s a convenient misdirection to avoid real change. By making it “Apple is evil”, people just switch to another phone manufactured in China and pat themselves on the back for doing absolutely nothing.
one of the biggest issues with peer tube is of course discoverability, but also that most instances don't give you any real space to work with to publish content as well.
You need to raise your standards.
Concentration camps are inherently evil, it does not matter how many people are in them. A concentration camp isn’t acceptable just because it only has 999,999 people in it.
Banksy murals are inconvenient for the system, but it looks like the 'robbo team' was tricked (ego) to act like a part of the system.

Edit: They may be talking to each other just like that and will be friends.
Yeah, it's like the rest of the US justice system "you can plead guilty and with the time we kept you in jail waiting for trial you can go home tomorrow, or you can go to trial at some unspecified point in the future and risk going to prison for 20 years - which one do you want?"

There is no free choice in that question. Just an illusion of one.
Withrawing GitHub-Backup
Try pitching to founders that just raised a round and have yet to build a team. They could start with just 28hr workers.

Integrating 1x 28hr worker in an existing environment of 38hr+ workers seems just a mess to me, definitely not worth the 20% discount.

Another recommendation is to ask them "why not". Change your pitch so that most of the call it's them talking vs you.
Another fun one: the word for "marker" (i.e., a felt-tipped pen for drawing) is "фломастер," from the brand Flo-Master.

Although, given the way things are going, it wouldn't surprise me if the word was now "шарпи."

Surprisingly, the art supply brand Caran d'Ache is from the Russian "карандаш" and not vice versa.

The Ukrainian for "pencil" simply comes from the word for the metal tin, which, like lead metal, was in use for styluses used in drawing before the discovery of graphite.
I would appreciate if you could make a more substantial comment instead of simply trying to use "feminism" as a dirty word. I invite you to revisit the comment I replied to and recognize the way it denies women's agency by presuming that the author understands women's aspirations better than they themselves do. Paternalistic attitudes about how women don't belong in the workplace for their own good are rooted in misogyny, and facile appeals to "brainwashing" don't make for a compelling statement to the contrary.
"exaggerates the problems of low-cost/low income places"?

You know, the federal poverty level for a single individual is under $13K per year. In which low income / low cost area do you think that's not a problem?
I see your “each iPhone is an embodiment of slavery” and raise you a “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism”.

Slavery is endemic to capitalism; the capitalists have just figured out how to cover it up with their immense wealth and power.
What we do know about alcohol is that the WHO has officially classified it as a Group 1 carcinogen. Studies have linked even low levels of consumption to an increase in cancer risk, so even one drink per days seems higher than it realistically should be.

As for the life expectancy issue, that remains a mystery, but it would appear unlikely that higher alcohol intake is beneficial from a health perspective.

By not tipping, the poster is doing something about the system. If you make less money as a driver because people are not tipping, you're going to either go to another service or stop delivering altogether. That's a slow change, and some drivers will be adversely affected by it, but just because a solution isn't instant and affects parties not directly at blame doesn't mean it's not a solution.
I haven’t checked the latter with Gmail, but it certainly does the former. You can verify it by sending an email from an address hosted by another provider to Gmail and checking the headers in the received email in Gmail. The headers will not have your (sender) IP address.
I guess this kind of news paints the wrong picture, or more likely to believe in this kind of thing. The more likely case is that, there are a bunch of people who are unemployable having no skills or lack motivations to work or happen to be in miserable conditions (like the homeless in US) were forced (yes) to enter this kind of "de-radicalization camps", monitored (yes) and _given_ an opportunity to get employment (like an internship for students) and get _paid_ the market salary. Yes they were forced to have a job that they can potentially do (the work conditions are like other "normal" apple factory workers). If they decline, well they need to go back to the "school"..
$10 per month for that Planta app is a bit much. It's been a while I didn't see any useful app with like, a $5 one-time purchase price.
I do think they have the market share and leverage to strong arm those 1000 companies into reasonable labor conditions.
> So what happens if the second dose arrives very (eg. many months) late? Can you start again and give 3?

Stockpiling of vaccines is a method to obtain certainty that you can vaccinate on schedule. There are better methods of ensuring certainty, e.g. by supporting manufacturers as well as possible to meet schedules, analyze weaknesses in supply chains, trying to counter them early, etc.

The issue is the cost of maintaining the stockpile:

> she and her colleagues projected that frontloading vaccine doses would avert between 34 and 42 per cent more symptomatic coronavirus infections, compared with a strategy of keeping half the shipments in reserve.

What's the cost of delaying the second shot for some groups? It's certainly non-zero, but 34 to 42 percent less symptomatic infections is a lot of prevented infections (and death).

The cost-benefit analysis gives a clear conclusion: don't stockpile.

I think the question is "why Julia?" instead of "why not Julia?" Python is the de facto standard, for better or worse. If someone wants to unseat it, they need a compelling reason. You shouldn't put the onus on folks defaulting to the industry standard to justify their choice over a much less well-known competitor.
The point of any kind of messaging is to broadcast intent and is always at least a little aspirational. That's the first step.

I'd honestly be far more wary about companies who doesn't broadcast anything, just to make whatever profit at whatever cost. Any Chinese phone brand right now (correct me if I'm wrong) or companies like Huawei or Lenovo, where, like it or not would have that approach to business possibly baked into their DNA.
That's something that may well get trialled at some point. In the absence of a trial, it certainly wouldn't be ideal, though.
The biases of the tech crowd, and HN specifically, wouldn't be half as bad if they occasionally showed a willingness to investigate them, instead of continually insisting their reasoning is uniquely based on "logic" and "science".
> As one of the richest corporations on the planet ..

Huh, they are richest because they are not swamped with mass manufacturing and all issues that come with it.
Be warned Yascha has become (or always was, I'm not sure) a grifter hack. He jumped on the cancel culture grift now he's joining in with other armchair epidemiologists such as Matty Yglesias and Nate Silver in misreading slides and propagating a made up controversy about vaccine distribution. The ACIP meeting was recorded and open to journalists. They could go review it, but strangely they didn't. I don't see them reporting video from the meeting where they say anything of the sort your're suggesting.

EDIT: This whole thing is nothing but semi-sophisticated click bait and this is objectively untrue:

>You don't think these two facts are related? What about 20-something tradesmen?

The 20-something tradesmen have mostly not settled down that much yet just like the 20-something software engineers so they live in apartments wherever.

The biggest difference now compared to the 90s is that the blue collar people have been pushed 20-40min farther out of the major cities. Homer Simpson probably commuted 30min. Now the white collar engineer commutes 30min and the electrician commutes 30min farther because that's where the suburb he can afford is. The white collar engineer lives in what used to be the blue collar suburb. Also in my anecdotal experience it seems like stay at home mothers haven't totally gone away with either group but they've become rarer in the white collar group than the blue collar group.

Everyone blue collar I know bought their first house at 30+/- a few. The people that bought sooner were the people who prioritized it because they were popping out a lot of kids or were beginning to build their own business and needed space. If anything it seems like the blue collar crowd buys a little before the white collar crowd simply because they're more open to living farther out in order to make things affordable.

>Will they ever be able to afford their own home?

Yes. It just won't be in the same suburb as the people on HN.
Ask HN: Where can I find an online community of people working on side projects?
Hi HN. I'm a software engineer that has always loved working on side projects (alone or on teams) and developing products.

I've always loved collaborating with people, and in the past I would use my physical and spatial connections with people to share my projects, join in on new ones, and get help (e.g. work friends, coffee shop chats etc.). That doesn't really work anymore, and I've found myself in a bit of a slump and honestly quite lonely recently.

Where can I find an online community (forum, Discord, anything) of people working on projects, sharing/discussing ideas and trading advice?

I really need a community like this right now; to work on some sort of team. Feeling a bit lost working alone.
> Google's choice to bump these prices made me realize that they could do the same thing with their compute cloud pricing

At least in the cloud computing space, Google is an also-ran thanks to Amazon. They were able to play this game with Maps because they didn't have a healthy competitor. If they screwed with pricing as a distant second place competitor they'd be toast.

> This one choice by the maps team likely cost Google significantly in the medium to long term, if any other companies realized the same things we did.

It definitely did. What they did with Maps is exactly why I would never, ever consider running anything critical with Google.
Well, we definitely don't vaccinate all children. US compliance rate for the seven-series is only 70%, and only 82% for the three-series (DTaP, Polio, MMR). So the culture of noncompliance even for fifty-year-old vaccine designs is still there.

That said, medicine is largely a voluntary affair. Nobody is getting up in arms over people choosing to get vaccinated; rather, they're bristling at the idea of being forced to do it, or at the very least suffering severe repercussions or going on a watchlist for choosing not to.
Yes, you're right, it's been aggravating me for years.

I vaguely recall reading about this on HN when it happened, and the consensus was that the logic for determining whether to print the street label had been changed for aesthetic reasons.

Peak form over function.

Anecdotally, I don't see any rhyme nor reason for whether it decides to show the street name or not. Oftentimes, it will value a side-street over the main street, and in _some_ cases this makes sense (e.g. you are on the larger street, and want to see intersecting streets), but Maps doesn't seem to read contextual clues... if I am not navigating, or zooming in from further away, showing larger streets first would be better.
It's a different problem here-- making sure the second dose is available at all costs.

The problem here isn't a logistics problem, but a "which alternative is worse" problem.

It sure looks like 1 dose is still >50% effective after day 10. The data is sparse: you wouldn't want to give people a single dose on purpose. But holding back more than half the doses in case there's a low probability event of a complete supply disruption seems overcautious. Hold back 25%.
This.

My first thought was "I hope I never encounter code that uses this." It's interesting as a proof of concept, but it makes your R code difficult to understand to 99.9% of R programmers. In my opinion, that is a pretty high cost for what I would consider mostly syntactic sugar.
I think the only avenue for GrubHub drivers to get a bigger slice of pie is to form a union.

Customers tipping drivers in cash would seem to be a way to ensure they get an intended tip directly.
A Little Envy Can Be a Good Thing (In Humans and Machines)
What is not equal is the asymmetry of the information. In 2016 (2015?) the information was skewed to that provided by Russian intelligence.

If there were equal amounts of dirt on every politician, then fine, but there is clearly not. This is what bothers me about the whole thing. It can be manipulated by powerful states, and some of them are more willing to use it than others.
Making an Internet-Connected Mouse Trap
In Britain we have a phrase to describe silly outrage news like this: "Storm in a teacup".

This, combined with "Signal hacked by cellebrite" last week (bullshit: https://signal.org/blog/cellebrite-and-clickbait/) means the BBC is on a roll lately.

It’s weird that tipping has been expanding as we know that it’s bad for consumers and employees. Employers are the ones that benefit—they pay their employees much less expecting consumers to find it in their hearts to pay some unspecified extra money for a service.
It's hard to avoid confirmation bias when it comes to things everybody experience in their everyday lives. Almost everybody games at some point in their lives. Everybody know people who play video games for significant percent of their free time. If the link was significant we would've noticed by now.

It's very hard to argue video games and crime are linked when the curves are:

https://i.imgur.com/hSHDyoH.png

https://cdn.statcdn.com/Statistic/190000/191219-blank-355.pn...

Of course it's possible that the link is small and other factors overpower it. But it's unlikely, and given the everyday experience with people who play games and people who are violent - there's very little evidence of any link.

So indeed we fail to the confirmation bias. Or, said in other words: "ordinary claims require very little evidence".
I’m surprised there’s not more construction tech. I mean housing is multi trillion dollar industry with enormous unlimited demand. I get that it’s hard due To regulation and barriers to entry but still
> I said "liberal democracy," not "US government agencies." I also don't think the information itself is suspect.

So, how does exposing high-level corruption, war crimes, mass surveillance, etc. lead to a 'decline of liberal democracy'? Unless you mean 'exposing the ways in which our society is not a liberal democracy leads to the decline of the illusion of liberal democracy'?
What I was saying (poorly) is that they were not a sale to enterprise IT business.
I don't get the downvotes on this. Well, okay, I do, but it's not wrong. It's hard to buy anything without supporting odious practices somewhere in the supply chain. The incentive is to get costs as low as possible, and globalism let's companies put all the bad stuff far enough away that the consumers don't care.

I understand if you still want to buy smartphones--I'm typing this one one--but do it with h your eyes open. "Because it's a buzzkill" is not a good reason to ignore it. And if it bothers you, we should do something about it, like lobbying politicians, supporting labor unions, and raising awareness.

Well, I guess that last one will just get you downvotes
It's probably harder if you you're a first-time drug mule or whatever. This isn't designed to catch out international terrorists so much as people with illegal substances in their underpants.

When you're comparing rates it doesn't matter where the bar is set. That just changes the size of your numbers. For the sake of comparison the threshold just needs to be set somewhere that doesn't result in a huge number of states being crammed at one end of the spectrum.

The problem is the flattening of urban and rural within state like others have said. A suburb of NYC may as well be a foreign country compared to a suburb of Buffalo.

Of course if you're gonna doll out aid based on the absolute number you should set a sane threshold but that doesn't really matter for the purposes of this discussion.
1. Yes, I think all HackerDaily articles should be included. 30-50 articles per day is not that much.

2. I think separate RSS feeds for different timezones might be better (not _every_ timezone, but say, every whole hour offset), so everyone can choose what they want; either based on the timezone or on their daily routine.
Just to pick a nit, there's lots more than just auth in this.
Honestly no-one should be reading _too_ much into numbers, especially all-time numbers, just yet. The UK approved early, so it has a head start. Most EU countries only started in the last few days. The US and Canada are somewhere in between.

Daily numbers will start to become more useful in the next couple of weeks.
> The overvaluing and focus on sex of being something amazing or interesting.

Because there are severe consequences to it, pregnancies and STDs being just the start.

Yes, it is an amazing thing, and it is not overvalued at all. It's one of the strongest drives we have as humans, and it should be controlled, otherwise it will lead to chaos.
Anywhere you read the expression “zero-tolerance” you know something is happening.
If everyone's accountable, the world's a better place for everyone (except perhaps the people committing flagrantly unethical crimes). You don't need to be a staunch anti-capitalist to see that. And hey, if you've got money, maybe you can do something about it.
The summary is linked right at the top of the post.

Rise up and Disroot are the top choices, followed by Elude, Posteo and Countermail.
While I disagree on the targets of financial gains and income, I think that tariffs and excise taxes along with foreign currency exchange taxes would be more impactful. A significant portion of the issue comes down to the amount of manufacturing that has gone overseas, and with a lot of those at the top having tax havens and/or being incorporated out of the US, the use of financial gains taxes would do very little to curb the tide.

And despite the increased cost in a lot of things, I think a trade war with China is largely inevitable. As to the increased costs, maybe it would actually get people to think about what they're doing, and other points of concern like Right To Repair legislation. The fact that we buy so many things in our day to day lives that don't even make it 5 years is fucking ridiculous.
You might have similar sound sensitivities in your ears, but your brain also needs to process the information coming in, maybe you differ in this regard, and an amplification may help some people.

My ears are fine, and I still sometimes dont understand what people are talking about in some situations.
The other side is that the peak of American prosperity occurred post WWII where a majority of the developed world (any country that had experienced an industrial revolution), was blown to shreds. This gave the US roughly a temporary monopoly on manufacturing and exports. It’s hard to see a future where the dominance of American prosperity happens again unless that scenario repeats itself. Aka WWIII with the US coming out unscathed and the rest of the world destroyed.

No doubt your point of mismanagement and bad actors is valid but it’s important to recognize that much of the glory days of the American middle class corresponded to the height of many others misfortune.
