Is AZ decreasing their delivery to the UK and Europe by the same percentage?

edit: I find the downvotes without explanation a bit depressing. I'm replying to a post containing this:

Decreasing UK and Euro deliveries equally is clearly something that we can do and not some legal fantasy.
I've been writing python for a living for about 13 years now. I've dabbled in go, but found it incredibly verbose and of a much lower level than python. The error handling alone is enough to turn me off completely. So much boilerplate, so much code and words to express even simple things.

No thanks, I'll stick with python, for me it is the perfect balance between expressiveness and being easy to read.

Also Django itself and the python ecosystem is hard to beat. It gets out of my way so that I can focus on the business logic, instead of reinventing wheels.
Lisp development is niche, but has sufficient use so that languages like Common Lisp, Clojure, and Racket will hopefully be supported and enjoyed for a long time.

The author hits on the sore point of available libraries to hit APIs and I would add access to deep learning infrastructure. I use the Hy language (hylang, has a Clojure style syntax) that is built on Python (you can get a copy of my Hy book for free, the minimum price is free https://leanpub.com/hy-lisp-python), but I still like Common Lisp as my main driver.

Anyway, I consider myself to be very fortunate to have about half of my career since 1982 use Lisp languages.
> For example, your invariant might be something like I’m expecting here a monotonically increasing array of numbers with a mean value of such and such and a standard deviation of such and such. The best any static type checking will let you do is “array[float]”.

Isn't this just plainly false? With dependent type system wouldn't you be able to encode all such invariants into the types? Curry-Howard isomorphism and so on?

I'll stick with the proverbial Seneca: “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

Which is actually a generalization of the author's (relatively narrow) thesis where 'opportunity' depends primarily on the people that you meet and the 'preparation' is being passionate about something.
> Then finally, and famously, in August 1994 they took £1m to a remote Scottish island, where, in the middle of the night, they burned the lot.

"remote", right. i.e. not closely inspected.

I don't buy it. If I was tasked with convincingly burning £1 Million cash, with a budget, by definition, of over £1 Million; I think it could bring it in for £100K, by spending some money on fakes that look ok from a distance, when on fire in low-res video at night, with a layer of real cash over it.

Either that, or supervised disposal of counterfeits.

All the financial incentives are in the direction of faking it.
I don't have a problem with that so long as the transactions did not include a bunch of very smart and well-funded market manipulators who used the mob to take their hubris to the bank.

I got up early to watch pre-market action the day it went up to $500 in after hours trading. The next day it dropped all the way down to $112.

Who bought on the trip up to $500 and who got hurt on the way down to $112? There is no way to know without a forensic investigation of the transaction record. I am sure the SEC will investigate, if anything to understand how to prevent this kind of a thing from happening again (or how to slow down the rate of change, if that makes sense).

I am of the opinion that this will end in disaster and tears for a large number of people. I hope only a few bet their life savings on this after getting sucked into the emotion of the mob.
Why are jobs that are needed the most paid the least? That is some sort of manufactured contradiction. If they are paid low because they are easily replaceable, why are they the most needed jobs? If they are paid low because they aren't needed, then they aren't needed and shouldn't exist.

What could a third possibility be for these jobs being paid so low, i wonder? He said, facetiously knowing the answer
In other words, static typing is pointless. It has, maybe,
some documentary value, but it does not substitute
documentation on other invariants. For example, your
invariant might be something like I’m expecting here a
monotonically increasing array of numbers with a mean
value of such and such and a standard deviation of such
and such. The best any static type checking will let you
do is “array[float]”. The rest of your invariant must be
expressed in words as a documentation of that function.

I wonder if "design by contract" [1] tooling would help here? It seems to me one could express the stated invariants of the array as pre- or post-conditions on any function processing that array.

Perhaps, but most applications don't start off complex. Most of them start off pedal to the metal develop as fast as you can.

>EU is asking for transparency. One thing is AZ fulfilling all contracts by less than 50%. Other thing is some countries get 90% of fulfillment, and EU gets 30%.

I think this has been established at this point. The question then become what the EU expected in the case of a domestic production shortfall and what they can do about it. I find it somewhat funny that haven’t bothered to demand doses manufactured in the USA. Perhaps they know better and don’t want to waste their time
The free AOT compilers have atrocious compile times (far, far worse than even Rust or Scala) and don't support all of the features so library support is extremely fragile. A lot of extremely popular Java libraries make extensive use of runtime reflection and none of the AOT compilers handle it well without a lot of extremely error prone manual configuration.

I actually like Java and the JVM but if AOT compilation and efficient memory usage is what you want Java is definitely not the language to use.
Denigrating any subjective experience because it's "too direct" is bordering on passive aggressive. Every suggested edit you've made to the comment completely alters the meaning of the text: you're basically saying that if you're not looking to learn and completely disregard the veracity of your own experience in every statement you do, you're better off not saying anything at all.

It strikes me as exceedingly dishonest to pretend that you're genuinely interested in someone's opinion if you already know you strongly disagree with it, and it's by no means a requirement to lack an opinion to have a respectful debate. Telling someone that you believe they're wrong is not an insult.

People have subjective opinions and experiences, this does not necessarily make their statements true. This should be obvious and I don't see why it's the sender's responsibility to preface everything they say with that fact to avoid stepping on the toes of whoever reads it. Opinions don't kill debate, it furthers it.

> If we all wrote like this (and I'm certainly not perfect myself), HN could be a much friendlier, more welcoming place.

This is a well-intentioned thought but I'm not sure it actually makes sense. The things that make or detract from HN being a friendly and welcoming place have a lot to do with its size and heterogeneity -- ideology included. You're trying to neuter the disagreement and rephrase it in terms of a question. That's not always a bad thing, but in some cases you really do just disagree. If that's going to be the case, why not be upfront about it, so long as you can be civil? (GP's point does seem to be phrased in a pretty civil manner IMO)

Yes! Lambda calculus is my "native brain programming language" and I can't find a language the expresses it better than the Lisps. I never have to bend around the language, it feels as if I can always do exactly the method I wanted to solve something.

Another big benefit is the simple syntax makes complex metaprogramming achievable. You just move the s-expressions and atoms around. Unnest and nest them. Like normal code. It makes sense.

The government absolutely could offer competitive incentive packages if the appropriate legislation can be passed.

That works until there aren't any more marginal buyers. Just because some people out there are willing to sell the stock for $10 (which no rational person is when it's trading in the hundreds, by the way... the idea that there are marginal buyers who are somehow willing to vastly underprice their sales relative to the market value isn't a valid one) doesn't matter as long as large swaths of it are held by people who won't sell at that price.
I agree that AstraZeneca should have been communicating better. It is not the first time they have caused public outrage due to communication issues. On the other hand, this is pandemic and they are trying their best with the vaccine. Is it really the time to criticize them for minor faults?

They really believed that they will be able to manufacture all the doses in time. They had a bad luck. But again a year ago most didn't even believe that such vaccine is possible, so they deserve credit for their efforts. Their vaccine appears effective – most importantly the vaccine completely eliminated hospitalizations and deaths. The value of their product is very high and they are not even making profit from it.

>> Then maybe AZ should have made arrangements, or asked for help, if they saw they weren't going to be able to fulfill the orders - or maybe they were expecting to move orders from UK, yet they were blocked? Who knows, right?

I don't think there is any conspiracy. From AstraZeneca's point they want to produce as much vaccine and as fast as possible and to give it to all countries. Taking manufactured vaccines from one country and giving them to another doesn't magically increase the amount of available vaccines, so the value of that is low so they are not going to do it unless really necessary.

Maybe the argument is that the UK has already vaccinated their risk groups and their urgency is lower, so they could give more vaccine now to the EU. This is the argument from the WHO as well. I even partially agree to this, although I am a little bit suspicious about the WHO as they haven't been very efficient during this pandemic. But at least it makes sense unlike all these talks about sanctity of (unclearly written) contracts.
The depth of ignorance of your comment is astounding. Who was president for the past 4 years up until 2 weeks ago?

> the law firm the letter is purportedly from

I quickly determined that there was no such entity; that's part of why I felt completely comfortable responding as I did. Here's another example of fake legal threats in this affair, from what I would consider the canonical site about it.

http://conjugalfelicity.com/robert-stanek/stanek-responds-to...

IIRC (it was a long time ago) the email I received wasn't quite the same, but it was broadly similar - fake identity, clearly from someone barely educated let alone educated in law, same general amateurishness as Stanek's books and reviews.

BTW, while I'm here: this deep dive into l'Affaire Stanek might seem indulgent and off topic, but it's not. This is the archetype. This is how online defamation and anti-defamation campaigns play out. They're ugly, they're messy, lots of third parties get dragged in, and people do get hurt. To a defamer, merely getting your target involved in something so obviously tawdry is almost as good as having the initial accusations stick. The internet's infinite memory can be used in more than one way to get revenge, and I think that's important to know.

My Taiwanese friend insists that "boba" wordplay was popularized and faded along with the career of the Hong Kong actress 葉子楣 and her famously large pearls in the late 80s/early 90s. 珍珠奶茶 seems to more popular with younger people at least walking around Taipei, so it might be related to whether it was introduced via Hong Kong or Singapore versus Taiwan.

Japan is doing bizarre things like ramen and pizza with it now.
> the Capitol riot was prompted by fascism and white supremacy.

If you're proud to be a fascist and white supremacist then this doesn't make someone not want to be one. If you're not then you'd be offended by that accusation that you are one. It's a polarising statement that target's an individual's identity, not their actions. It was an ad hominem attack.

Had you made reference to the disinformation campaign surrounding the election results or the President's remarks that actively fanned the flames of their outrage (outrage that they certainly perceived as legitimate but the rest of us know was misguided) then that would be a very different argument. It would be one that forgave regular people for being people and targeted those truly responsible. It's an argument that invites people to agree with you rather than making them the enemy.

Sure, npm has bad UX. (For an actual example, see the stubborn refusal to follow XDG spec.) This is not an example of that. Defaulting prefix to "/usr/local" is what every well-behaved Linux package does.

It seems odd to install so many packages at the "global" (but not owned by root!) level, that using the "--prefix=~" flag would be a hardship. I just checked; I have three. You can't fault npm for this.

There's been one major success case: A64Fx and ARM SVE. The Fujitsu processor just recently took #1 in LINPACK, #1 Green500 (also the most efficient) and also #1 in HPCG (an alternative benchmark that GPUs traditionally suck at).

Its not a full GPU yet, but that A64Fx is clearly a powerful SIMD compute cluster, very similar to a GPU. It has succeeded where the Xeon Phi seems to have failed.
