It seems an eminently sensible suggestion to me. Invest heavily in shielding and treatment for the vulnerable and vaccine development, while allowing the non-vulnerable to live their lives and keep the economy afloat.
I bought my first laptop in 2000. They had a titanium powerbook g4 close by. It was an order of magnitude more expensive. (I think about 8500 DM / 4300 Eur vs 1100 DM / 600 Eur). My laptop was garbage, of course, but the other one was a few months of my salary at that time.
I bought a Powermac 12" a few years later, but the price was much more reasonable then. Loved that machine.

I think that this is absence of evidence being taken as evidence of absence. It's pretty hard to bang the table and insist that natural immunity lasts for years when there are no examples of anyone being immune to this for years (yet). I think that professionals would fight shy of asserting this because they are exposing themselves to professional opprobrium (potentially) and they have lots of other things to do now and they are probable concerned that the message will be hijacked to justify not wearing masks/hugging old people/ having big parties/collapsing the healthcare system and killing lots of people. After immunization and when the infection rate goes low again I expect that stronger claims will get made.
As I said in another comment, people that don't want or can't get vaccinated will very fast become second class citizens.

I've played DOTA 2 and Starcraft 2, and while both are exceptionally competitive multiplayer games - DOTA is far more toxic. I've had maybe 10 toxic communications in years of playing sc2. Almost every lost game of dota ends in name calling and blaming each other for the loss. Almost every game of starcraft ends with the losing player writing "gg" and surrendering.

In my opinion there's several factor contributing to this differences in cultures:

1. starcraft match usually takes about 15 minutes. Dota game takes about 45 minutes.

2. you are expected to surrender in starcraft when you recognize it's over - playing to lose condition is disrepectful; you cannot surrender in dota in practice (abandoning the game is harshly penalized by the matchmaking system)

3. there's more than 10% chance you'll be stuck playing a lost game that you have no influence over for more than 30 minutes in dota. This never happens in starcraft - either you surrender or you think you can win.

4. the culture of starcraft is influenced mostly by Koreans. Showing off isn't considered cool. Fountain diving is common in dota.

I don't think it's multiplayer games that are inherently toxic. I think highly competitive team-based multiplayer games played with random people with no way to surrender are :) And even then I'm yet to see an example of dota player becoming violent because of the game. If any game can do this it has to be dota.

Some catching up must be done. As you point out, tests do not exist yet. It doesn't matter if you give up on it. It's being pursued. I think it's an interesting consideration.

Both Pfizer and Moderna were approved within a week of request. So it's not expected for the approval process to be slow.

If you compare the data between Pfizer[1] and AstraZeneca[2]. The AZ trials were significantly more complicated, with variations in methodology between phases and locale and much smaller sample sizes. It looks like they had to massage data and combine phases and explain differences, why they were doing it, and why it should still be considered safe.

Pfizer just submitted a giant sample size homogeneous trial result.

I would imagine it's way easier explaining and approving the one methodology/result with a giant sample size from Pfizer than the four methodologies/trials with small sample sizes and different doses within those trials given by mistake from AZ.

My main point is that all "computer stuff" is accidental complexity as I believe people in 1987 would think. It might be hard to go along with it when one is software dev and much of our lives are on the internet. But that is what Fred Brooks was writing about back then.

Essential complexity idea is about real world being inherently complex and that we cannot remove that complexity by making bigger better computers. Dan is not attacking this at all, he only argues that accidental complexity is not getting easier.

You argue the same thing as Dan. You want to move essential complexity to a different place. But that does not refute "Essential and Accidental complexity" in context of book it is just arguing that accidental complexity is not getting easier. Fred Brooks argues that even if you make accidental complexity easier you will not make real world easier. He was not saying that accidental complexity will get easier or that it is some kind of law that it always gets easier.

Your comment should be made into article or at least maybe some question on economic stack-overflow. I too don't know solution yet. There are many people who have an idea, but many of those ideas will just fail because it's not sustainable or there are better ways already. The biggest problem is discovering those best ideas from noise. Some dedicated think tanks of specialists disseminating ideas would be best, but currently there is simply too much noise to filter.

Connection to App Store does not mean it's actually supported with patches or secure to use. I would call it "a brick".

But the new OS is not going to be installed anymore (according to the link above). Any technical reasons for that, apart from the planned obsolescence?

When your preconceptions turn out to be this dramatically contrary to the actual facts, I seriously suggest you take a look at what it is about those preconceptions that is leading you so far away from reality.

Thank you, I am also assuming good faith and so could you please provide evidence for your claims? For how long do security updates typically come and for how long the OS is updated to new versions? Anecdotes are not enough on HN.

> industry leading device support and lifetimes

In the industry of planned obsolescence 5 years support becomes a gold standard praised by fanboys. But in reality it is very short and leads to nature pollution. I see no reason not to support devices forever or let the community support them when they are too old. Apple does neither of those.

MMT doesn't say you can't have hyperinflation due to economic mismanagement, it just says you can bootstrap yourself out of unemployment (a crisis) by printing money.

Just because a government is printing money it doesn't yet mean they practice a sane economic policy, which would be to increase the demand to meet the supply of labor.

He's saying lock them up until they can vaccinated.

I mean, they'd be locked up in a national lockdown - so the issue isn't really them being locked down or not locked down. The question is do we lock down everyone else at the same time?

From this article on Wikipedia you've posted a link to:

> In a 2014 literature review, the American Veterinary Medical Association stated that "controlled studies have not identified this breed group as disproportionately dangerous", and that "it has not been demonstrated that introducing a breed-specific ban will reduce the rate or severity of bite injuries occurring in the community".

> In 2012, the American Bar Association passed a resolution urging the repeal of breed-specific legislation, stating that it is "ineffective at improving public safety".

> In 2013, researchers in Canada found no difference in incidence of dog bites between municipalities with breed-specific legislation and those without it, and in 2008, the Dutch government repealed a 15 year ban on pit bulls, concluding the law was ineffective.

In any case, I'm not sure that having a legislation can be used as a proof of anything. In some countries same-sex sexual activity is illegal and penalized. What does this prove?

Not to pile in on you, but the reality in the UK has been instead that tens of millions have had their lives impacted by hodgepodge restrictions. The economy has had trajectory altering damage. Our younger generations (aka our future and the people who will prop up our economy and nation as we get too old to and eventually leave this earth) suffer the most for something that doesn't really endanger them statistically.

We've essentially seen a year of this now. I think I would either rather pile all the money lost from protecting "democracy and freedom" into inventively locking up our vulnerable in comfort and safety (e.g. commandeering the Isle of Wight or Cornwall for all I care) OR failing that, go full authoritarian akin to China to eradicate the virus.

The UK is an island for crying out loud...

This halfway house is disastrous for everyone, and we will feel the effects of it for decades, long after most the vulnerable we're trying to protect will have passed away anyway. I'd love to believe we could pretend that we can behave like our civilised Scandinavian peers but the reality is that in the UK social trust is simply too low. During the summer and after, I knew more people breaking the rules than adhering to them. Very few people actually stick to contact tracing and even fewer places will bar you from entry for not tracing. What a joke. The UK govt has made their bed but the population are equally to blame when essentially compliance with most measures are so low.

How come you don't observe massive emigration with such levels of unemployment? In Poland it is hard to find workers (observed for example by long waiting queues when asking around for builders, heat or water specialists, etc. In general construction and house refurbishment market is booming during covid. PL demographics projection is very bad , further worsening the forecasts on the market. Wages are growing but the workers shortage is too big to be fixed by this. Is it different in Spain? Or maybe the young are not skilled in the work that is in demand and would only accept office work?
> there were equal amounts of dirt on every politician, then fine, but there is clearly not.

If we are talking about the 2016 election then there is actually data on how much dirt was being thrown around. Looking at all the scandals being printed in news papers, with the big ones being the email scandals for Clinton and audio tapes for trump, the data as presented in a research paper was that the intensity of scandal articles was higher for Trump, but the duration of articles was higher for Clinton. Trump scandals got focused in the news during the last month of the election, while the Clinton scandals had been published on and off for almost a half year. In total, articles writing about scandals was around 3-4 times more in total for Clinton and distributed over a half year, than those of trump which was distributed over the last month of the election.

The general conclusion I got from that research is that dirt that can be dripped over a long period has a better chance to stick than a louder but shorter lived dirt. It also makes comparing one kind of dirt to an other difficult. This lesson seems to have been taken in by heart in the Snowden leaks and panamaleaks, both which stretched out their leaks for months.
If your goal is to change the world--incepting some politician to change their position or some businessperson to alter their product--that makes a lot of sense... if you are working for some company extracting value from you, why would you ever do this?

It would be interesting to determine the effects of things like population density and urbanisation on the death rate. Sweden is a pretty sparsely populated country I think, which presumably acts to reduce the rate of spreading?

Differs in a bunch of design decisions. Memory management for items is strictly out of scope, though some of the structures use malloc/free for their own purposes (e.g. heap). Much more focus on sorted/hashed structures, explicitly differentiating for [not] having duplicate items that compare equal. Also, atomic/lock-free versions. Uses macros instead of #including files multiple times.

Nope, that's what they kind of started saying after the herd immunity experiment failed. Back in May they were still happy to go on record to say that herd immunity was part of the Swedish strategy:

https://www.npr.org/2020/04/26/845211085/stockholm-expected-...

But by July antibody tests showed that herd immunity was still very far away. Tegnell has since claimed it was never their goal, which to me sounds like hand washing.

EDIT: As pointed, Swedish representatives later asked the article to state that herd immunity was not their goal after all - you could almost forgive the journalist for the confusion. Here is Tegnell instead strategizing in private about letting the virus spread in school children to hasten herd immunity:

It's highly redundant when there are 2 strands, as is the case with DNA.

RNA has a tendency to accumulate mutations quickly, as evidenced by the many hundreds of variants of SARS-CoV-2 that have already been sequenced (and that's with only ~30,000 bases).
I wonder if more authoritarian governments like China or Russia would be willing to do challenge trials.

Outside of ethical concerns, it comes with other complications, like how to design infecting the challengers so that it would be representative of real world infection/viral load.
The mRNA produced for the vaccines have various modifications that cause greater stability than normal mRNA.

The two shots have nothing to do with mRNA stability, they improve immunity, as in any other vaccine given in two or three shots.
We should gauge our society on how we treat our most vulnerable people, and if this is how people want to shape our society then stop the train and let me get off.
Locking up vulnerable people in quasi-concentration camps staffed by hazmat suit wearing doctors administering ‘care’ in the most basic and cruel manner is no way to treat any human being live, let alone a group of lab rats. I’d challenge anyone advocating this nonsense to lock themselves away for six months with only the most basic/essential of interactions and see how they get on. This lack of empathy or any sense of understanding of human nature and sociability is absolutely absurd.
These should be autonomous and able to do surveillance of an area by pre-programmed routes or loitering. Most transmission will be from the drone to the operator in that case. If you intend to do active control, you should be ready to move since your position is exposed.

The more autonomous the drone is, the less transmission you'll need. If you are looking for a specific type of vehicle for example, it should be easy to have the drone do it autonomously and not even transmit anything itself until it finds it (and possibly never - it could keep the footage until it returns to the operator). A drone (or a dozen of them) asked to find enemy armor within a map area with zero commincation either to or from the drone would be extremely difficult to hide from. This is a capability that has existed for years with large drones or satellites but they have been expensive, limited use in bad weather, and most importantly not available to individual soldiers on the ground without needing to coordinate that support.

> launching a projectile to take it out

The problem with anti-drone weapons is that so long as the projectile is heavier/larger/more expensive than the drone, the drone is winning even when taken out. It's an active area of research but other than another drone, the only viable BVR counter-drone I have seen so far is a trained bird...
Science isn't the problem, but the shady businessmen using it for amassing ungodly amounts of money without second thought for the long term consequences of their actions are.

Sorry for the early Godwin, but forcing vaccination is what the Nazi would do.

My common sense tells me the fear is disproportionate compared to the real damage done by this virus.

And I'd like once and for all that people that will take the vaccine explain me why oh why they fear that others aren't vaccinated?

> Also, natural immunity is only estimated to last around 2 or 3 months and offers no protection against other strains (some of which appear (statistically speaking) to affect younger folk more severely than the original SARA-CoV-2 strain).

This is plain wrong. Natural immunity for SARS-COV-1 was observed even 10 years after infection in some trials. Immunity against other coronaviruses also lasts longer than 2-3 months and actually there is strong indication that natural T-Cell immunity might last people much much longer and be sufficient on its own like it is also with other coronaviruses.

The only thing which is estimated to disappear after 3-6 months are antibodies in your bloodstream.
Because they claimed that elderly patients were sent to care homes. I guess you could argue this is "fact based" in that it's a distortion of the facts.

Because they argued that comparing Sweden to it's similar neighbour is "cherry picking", and yet cherry picked a much less suitable group - the whole of Europe - because it suited their argument.

Because they, without any facts, imply that Sweden's high death toll could be avoided by putting the elderly in hotels

It would enable someone to query their knowledge graph.

Imagine I have a personal collection of recipes I like to cook, and the recipes link to foods with relation ingredient. When my friend comes over for dinner, I could ask them what foods in my kitchen they like, and instantly query all recipes containing those foods. Maybe I’ve added how long each recipe takes to cook, which appears as one of the many RDF triples I can use to filter and sort the matching recipes.

Knowledge graphs enable incredibly rich, structured queries. This is the promise and power of semantic web. Otherwise all you can do is rudimentary keyword searching.

The vision of the semantic web is to enable these rich queries over the entire collection of human knowledge, not just personal notes.
