Both analogs bear aspects of truth since software has the characteristics of being both a machine (crafted precision tool), as well as being information itself (freely spread & adaptable). Its future is probably some superposition of both.
You might want to update. There were two studies out of Europe last week stating that children are just as likely to get the virus as adults.

Immunized, not vaccinated. In particular, patients who have recovered from COVID-19 are (mostly) immune and count towards "herd immunity".

(Obviously vaccination is by far the preferable of those two options!)
Hawley mentors stunned by conduct, but early warning signs were there
I have been downvoted elsewhere in this thread for saying that it's not clear whether the vaccine confers sterilizing immunity (or perhaps, for suggesting that restrictions will continue until children are vaccinated. Who knows!) Be careful what you say here, lest you get downvoted to oblivion!
The Tesla robotic Uber thing can totally work but it's not going to work if everyone with a car now, tries to use it. It'l flatten out to find the break event point.

But that's a normal market effect and the same as Taxis which traditionally (at least in many places) had quotas to stop people not getting enough jobs to fulfill their wage (Taxi 'Tag' or 'Plate' or 'License'); or similar effects on the number of Uber drivers which obviously are not restricted so you have a sort-of imperfect market effect there where it's not worth more drivers joining as they won't get paid enough and some will leave.. or part of why supposedly surge pricing will drive drivers to leave to further away areas to take more jobs, etc.

Not a market expert but just wanted to note that while, in effect, you are right.. it's not really surprising, unexpected or unprecedented and not a pyramid scheme :)
> Here's the one affecting me: insurance companies use pricing to ensure that my employer picks a new plan every year, which always has an extremely decrepit sign-up process every year, which no doubt shakes some fraction of the workforce from going through it at all.

That's probably not the insurer’s intent, since it's in their interest to have the most people possible enrolled.
You may not be aware, but liberalism is a bit of an overloaded term. Some folks use it to mean liberal in the sense of 'permissive', while others use it in the more traditional political sense of 'permissive free market capitalist'.

The US has plenty of the latter (and, in fact, just elected one President). I believe that there's a difference between 'Leftists' and 'Liberals' in the Democrat side of US politics, where the Leftists argue for social democracy and the Liberals argue for unity and a return to civility, coupled with a moderately regulated market economy.

Victoria, Vancouver, Portland, Seattle, LA - all have similar problems with homelessness and it has a lot to do with climate.

I think if someone has a 'constant and grinding' exposure to homelessness, like they work near 5th and Market, it can actually have an aggravating affect emotionally.

Expensive housing however, is probably not a root cause of homelessness, because there is absolutely cheap housing all over California and the West coast.

We can argue about 'cost' but I don't think anyone would say that homeless people have some kind of 'right' to live in SF.

If we could feasibly provide more effective housing and services but it happened to be in Modesto or Sacramento than that would be perfectly reasonable.
Well it's up to the paper, but personally, I support papers re-evaluating their positions on this sort of thing.

You'll still be able to find the old article on archive.org et al, but what a paper publishes today should reflect what it stands for today. If the paper was wrong or unfair, what is wrong with modifying or removing the coverage which is served today? Is that really worse than printing a "correction" paragraph at the end of the original article?

Maybe publishers could implement a sort of "timeline" feature which shows how the organization's understanding of an event changed over time. But today, I can't see anything wrong with a newspaper accepting petitions to modify outdated coverage.

What are you all talking about, the original top-level post has a reasonably presented assessment of Tesla’s strategy and the ramifications of such a strategy. Sure, that assessment might be flawed, but I don’t see how any of that is “anti-Musk bias” or “jealousy”.

The comment regarding humans not needing LiDAR misses the point, which is that either every other self-driving car group is incorrectly deploying an expensive hardware solution or there are valid technical reasons why that might be a better path to L5. Tesla trying to overcome the limitations other companies are deploying LiDAR for is a technical risk they are taking on, and, as the top level post noted, might not be the worst bet given the downside which is that they’ll just have to license the tech.

From a month ago:

Dr. Anthony Fauci now says as much as 90 percent of the population may need to get vaccinated or infected to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19 — admitting in a new interview that he has been intentionally raising the bar based, in part, on what he thinks the country is ready to hear.

“We really don’t know what the real number is,” the nation’s top infectious disease expert told the New York Times.

“I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent. But, I’m not going to say 90 percent.”

No one will pay the political price of causing infections among children by reopening rapidly. And I'd like to believe that as a society, we are cautious about letting children be infected with a novel disease whose long-term effects are unknown.

> Hopefully, instead of being tools of stealing our focus and invigilation some day we will collectively figure out how to use computers so that we can live better lives.

This is just a specific narrow view of computers and how they are used by people in day to day life. The larger picture is that computers have impacted every single industry/domain and that impact have indirectly made lives better in some aspect.

In the end, computers are just tools, tools to automate tasks. What task humans want to automate depends on their needs/desires and so does the consequences of them.

Geometry is the curvature of the fabric the space is made of.

Topology is how you sew/glue this fabric.

You can make a cylinder out of flat paper, so it is an Euclidean manifold.

You cannot make a sphere out of flat paper, so it is a non-Euclidean manifold.

Non-Euclidean geometry refers specifically to the geometry, not to the topology. It is not "anything where the distance is not the Euclidean distance" or "anything other than the Euclidean space" or "anything not related to Euclid's proof that there are infinitely many primes". Such a concept would not be useful, because it would be so broad that nothing interesting could be said about it (as you said, it would include Doom levels because of the teleports).

So a cylinder or a flat torus or a space being infinitely repeated are not non-Euclidean geometry. Monument Valley also has no relation to non-Euclidean geometry.

Ask HN: Should I use Web Push Notifications?
I was thinking of adding web push notifications to a web-based instant messenger. Reading https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/03/push-notifications-on-the-open-web I realized that even though there's a standard API, each browser uses a proprietary "push service" to which my own server sends messages first, before they are delivered to the user's browser: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/push-notifications/how-push-works

In particular, the last link says: "Each browser can use any push service they want, it's something developers have no control over.". Given this, I wanted to know HN opinion on two questions:

1. Is the latency of these "push services" small enough to be used for the instant messaging notifications?

2. Given the recent news of Google/Apple deplatoforming Parler, and the recent push to deplatform Telegram (e.g. https://www.vox.com/recode/22238755/telegram-messaging-social-media-extremists ), is it wise to rely on Google's push service long term? For example, Google Chrome's endpoint URL is fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send. Is this an unacceptable business risk to rely on Google for push notifications delivery?
JSON has no floating point numbers. It just has decimal numbers, which can be arbitrarily large and arbitrarily precise. If you deserialize them into floats and then are upset that they aren't exactly right, that's on you, not JSON. Deserialize them into some bigdecimal type if this is a problem for your domain.
Imho you’re underestimating the impact of the disease in general. Disease is much more than who lives or dies, there’s also people who “survive”. A number of asymptomatic covid patients have severe lung damage. Vaccinating “at risk” people who might die doesn’t account for all the people who might live permanently disabled lives as a result of a covid infection.

About 25 million have recovered so far. That puts us at about 12% 'immune'.

We need to agree to what constitutes full level 5 self driving.

My interpretation of it is a car that can drive itself anywhere in the world, has been approved for commercial use in at least one country, AND recognized as the first to full self driving in at least 2 major publications.

Just because your application is simple, does not mean you need to use vanilla tools. Do you get mad at a carpenter for using a nail gun because he 'can more easily swing a hammer'? It is the application of tools not the tools themselves that is the problem.

On the surface it seems like people would just use two apps, but most people don’t care. So, if nobody is extremely pro WhatsApp because for example they have a non smartphone and it’s what works then WhatsApp dies.

It’s just a question of how many people are extremely pro WhatsApp and will Facebook drive them away.
I'm surprised you don't just link to the source that regularly updates itself on all Tesla deaths, and makes a point to cite its sources.

I live in SF and unfortunately, I have to agree. It's a weird city, especially when you compare it internationally. There are some amazing restaurants, but they're difficult to find and I think that probably adds to the appeal of them. I think the cost to entry in SF has a lot to do with it. If you're dropping that much money to open a restaurant here you have to make sure it appeals to the largest possible audience and that audience generally has pretty predictable boring tastes. Also, corners are more likely to be cut as far as quality of the actual ingredients. That's my take anyway, it's tough to wrap my head around even after all these years.

I would bet quite confidently that your friend would not have been able to avoid a crash, and the “AI” is just a convenient third party to blame.

My understanding is the windows kernel is mostly C, with some highly-restricted C++ portions with most of the C++ runtime-dependent bits carefully avoided. XNU is entirely C except for IOKit AFAIK.

My understanding is a lot of C++'s higher level features require pretty thick runtime support and complicate kernel level code to the point the traditional wisdom I've heard in both the hobby world and linux spheres is "Avoid C++ like the plague" or "use C++ but be careful to avoid using exceptions/RTTI/etc".

It looks like Skift (and Haiku, apparently!) are mostly using the "watered down" C++, mostly for classes and templated generics, which is a good reason to use C++, yes.

Israel will be #1 by far. They have apparently paid $65/dose or something like that, far ahead of what others have paid, moreover, the dealing looks a little problematic. Obviously, it's worth far, far more than $65 a person, but it may not make too much sense to get into a vicious bidding war as it's unlikely to increase the rate of production and the surpluses would just be going into the hands of Parmacorps.

The number I have seen quotes form Dr Fauci is 70-85%. However I have seen no studies so far that show that either of the vaccines used in the US slow down the spread of COVID, just that they prevent severe cases. Also neither has been tested in children under 16 which is obviously a large population.
Well, it's a Lisp. Complaining about the syntax tends to suggest less about the Lisp than about the person complaining, viz. that they have not learned Lisp, or that they have and did not enjoy the experience.

By the same token, if we go searching for code in a 20-years-dead language and make wisecracks comparing some random sample, to something that's had many years of development since; irrespective of whether it is representative (and it isn't, particularly), this still doesn't say much about what might've been. As a more equal basis of comparison, I remember working with the CSS and HTML of twenty years ago, and this was invariably excruciating. The CSS we work with today is the result of two decades of polishing, and it's still mediocre, inconsistently implemented, and still riddled with issues and oh-for-heavens-sake-why-can't-it-just-do-X moments.

This essay has been on my mind a lot in recent weeks. This idea seems relevant now more than ever:

> The man who lives in a small community lives in a much larger world. He knows much more of the fierce varieties and uncompromising divergences of men. The reason is obvious. In a large community we can choose our companions. In a small community our companions are chosen for us. Thus in all extensive and highly civilized societies groups come into existence founded upon what is called sympathy, and shut out the real world more sharply than the gates of a monastery.
We know of a half dozen human coronaviruses that stay in circulation rather than burning themselves out, so there’s reason to worry this one wouldn’t either. The exact question is probably academic, because it won’t be politically feasible to maintain social distancing when severe cases are down 100x, but we’ll definitely want to keep vaccinating.
Ask HN: Where else do you go for tech news/discussion?
I know what my rights are. My question for clarification is in spite of the fact that signed agreements give companies the effective ability to share with gov agencies. It still doesn't answer the question of how it's any different from a search.

Heh, re: health data. HIPAA considers the name of hospital to be private information (try FOIAing the hospital names where people have died from COVID). But, if I go to a hospital with my phone on, then that fact will be available in location data that's bought by gov agencies. Through your qualification, have my rights ended by this fact?
So the common factor I come down to is that everyone needs a haircut. How far do you expect a hairstylist to commute to cut your hair? Another programmer isn’t going to cut your hair, if they do I suspect it won’t be a very good cut.

You can have both Whatsapp and Signal installed, but everyone in a conversation needs to have the same app. So why not both doesn't apply as neatly as you assert.
The issue is that human interactions are largely based on reputation. If a person is blamed, immediately their reputation suffers. Hence blame=punishment.

As mentioned in other comments, if you are close enough to know and understand then qualifying facts may remove the reputational damage in your mind, and you may fully trust that person to do similar work in future.

But in society wide incidents few of us are that close to the event of concern.

Does anyone know where I can find how many doses have been distributed to each state and how many are stockpiled federally or by the manufacturers? That’s the info I really can’t seem to find and it would be really interesting to see. Also would love to see production numbers day by day if possible. The simplistic estimates I keep seeing on places like CNN basically just take the current daily vaccination rate and use that as the rate for future projections which is obviously incorrect as production and distribution is ramping up.

This site is nice, but also it only shows the percentage of people who got a single dose, which is basically meaningless. We really should stop counting a dose as one vial and stop counting how many people got just one dose.
Ah, that makes a lot more sense than a 200nm chip in 2021.

This is actually illegal under California law, but is rarely enforced because it requires someone (eg. the state government) to actually sue exclusionary communities in state court to get an enforcement action against them to allow more housing to be built.

Because the state government hasn't been doing this, some organizations have been stepping up - https://www.yimbylaw.org

I think it's a perfect solution until we have true FSD that can handle absolutely all conditions and situations.

I don’t think it matters if 100% is vaccinated. What matters is new cases and deaths. As long as those are steady or going up we’re going to be masking and social distancing until the end of time. Once it goes down and stays down, that’s when gradual rule relaxation happens, and mass vaccination is the hoped-for silver bullet for it
