Sure, and the Israeli vaccine has no approval, emergency or otherwise, in the Palestinian territories. They received only 10,000 doses so far, from Russian vaccine. Same story... enough people in the leadership will gum up the works for purely political reasons, cutting nose to spite face. It’s basically the opposite of “operation warp speed”:

https://www.bbc.com/news/55800921

Can you tell me the difference between these two situations? Leadership lets their own regular citizenry die for political reasons. USSR refused food aid from western Europe during Holodomor. Venezuela refused food aid recently also. You can describe it all as “has no approval”. WHY does it have no approval — that’s the question.
> I haven't seen any proof that the rate of deaths caused by this is anywhere near as high as the IFR of covid.

This is a key flaw in your logic. The choices aren't just "get the AZ vaccine" or "100% chance of catching COVID", so you need to multiply the IFR of COVID by the chance you'll catch it to have a fair comparison.

Life is too short for shitty slow, bloated websites and buggy apps. Just dont use this trash, if the devs aren't going to up their game and prioritize user experience over profits then fuck them.

The only way web developers are going to improve is if they start losing users and money. Until then they'll keep crapping out garbage.
It is disgusting that it is part of science or physics. It IS a meme. It's a topic for philosophy and scifi, not science. It is not scientific.

If someone can make it scientific great! But Bostrom and Bayesian arguments are not doing science. It could be true, but we have no empirical reason to suspect so currently.
I’d argue that the average western person’s food budget comes from:

1) desire to eat « fresh » foods out-of-season (greenhouses, air transport, lengthy controlled-atmosphere storage)

2) feeding food to food and getting 1/10th back (feeding corn to a cow)

3) desire for labour-intensive foods. Potatoes can be straightforward harvested from a field by a machine. Alfalfa (or anything in a greenhouse) cannot.

I think the biggest barrier to going back to « the old way » is not having manufactured fertilizer. Nobody cares if the water came by pump instead of by hand. But I supposed over-watered at the end = more water in the product instead of useful matter.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought Johnson and Johnson was the one with the distribution issues?
I don't think your statement supports your conclusion.

There were more than 50 deaths by COVID-19 in Norway last month. How many people were vaccinated with AZ and didn't die? How many of them won't die in the coming months? Could they have gotten a different vaccine? What if there wasn't enough of those other vaccines?

In this statement: "AZ could kill more people in the affected age ranges than the virus has done so far"

What are "the affected age ranges"? Affected by what? COVID-19? AZ vaccinations? Thrombosis due to AZ?
There's a practical angle to this too. Without them opening their kernel modifications you are at the mercy of some small company in China for all future support and security updates.
Hey hackers,

Yura and Nik here - we are the makers of iZenHover.

iZenHover (https://izenhover.com/) sorts messages, mentions, and other activity across all your work apps into a single checklist, ranked by importance. As a result, you can enjoy more distraction-free time to concentrate on the work that demands focus.

The idea of a tool that would strike balance between 'manager schedule' and 'maker schedule' first came to my mind three years ago, after the two of us moved from Europe to California - for our Y Combinator batch. Being 10 timezones apart from the rest of the team initially looked like a productivity killer. The bigger our surprise when we soon realized that we actually accomplish more during the day!
Having all work calls and messages pressed into 2-3 moring hours has freed-up the rest of the day for the 'deep' work - like building stuff.

Here are some things you can do with iZenHover:

1) Bundle up your Slack messages, emails, Trello updates, Google doc mentions, and other work activity into a single checklist - so that you can address them all in one place and save time on switching between the apps. See the full list of integrations planned for ver. 1 here.

2) Get your activity checklist prioritized based on the importance rather than 'first in first out'. Here is how it works.

3) Schedule the 'power hour' to work through your activity checklist - so you can safely mute all app notifications for the rest of the day.

4) Send different creative auto-replies to your co-workers every time they try to get hold of you outside your power hour - so that they know you're not being unresponsive, just need to focus on something important.

5) Selectively 'whitelist' particular people - so that you can receive notifications from them outside the 'power hour'.

6) Provide the "Emergency button" - so people can get through if the matter is indeed urgent.

iZenHover is still in a super-early alpha - so we're here to listen and understand if we're moving in the right direction.

I and Nik will be here all day to answer every question you may have.
It's quite interesting that the most exciting part of the Mars experiment (flying the drone) was just a rounding error to develop (millions of dollars).

SpaceX is doing the right thing by focusing on costs instead of getting a bit more data.
Credit has little to do with convertability.
I’ve echoed this point a few times too. There’s a lot of apps that can barely figure out a todo-list (every glorified note take app/PM software), and here’s a company that boiled down Derivatives (with a capital D) trading in about two or three screens.

It’s an absolute masterclass.
What an outrageous example of a straw man, I never suggested anything of the sort.

Women here can run for president, own newspapers, vote and own guns and property. That's more free than most people these days.

We should celebrate that best of all time freedom for women. Never in history have women been as equal and empowered as right now and right here.

We should care more about our chinese and other brothers and sisters who live an oppressed life of authoritarian rule.

All people deserve what american women have, and all Americans deserve more than we've achieved, and american women deserve more. All of these can be true.
I know that its not functionally required but after who knows haw many years of "html isn't written by humans" why is it still not following the rules.
I get that humans make errors, I get that they are lazy and dont add alt text and all that stuff. But software that exists to generate html should clearly generate valid html.

Care to elaborate? Why block access to static pages by default? Tor’s aggregate bandwidth is tiny compared to CF’s aggregate bandwidth, so DOS attacks surely aren’t the reason.
Yup, I would echo this strongly. My wife ended up in hospital just before Christmas a couple of years ago, and she’s an extremely quick professional but between the emotional impact and the sheer volume of information she just couldn’t keep up. I did a bit better and kept up with the various prescriptions, test results, dosages, etc. Behind me there was a whole family team processing this — mom a nurse for 20+ years, her best friend an ER nurse for similar, a cousin that was a specialist in a related field, etc. All from 3000km away.

In the end, we lucked out that in the ER the first night we had a wonderful specialist who really took on the primary role in her care going forward, and the “shadow” family team stood down. And this was for a relatively simple issue that within 24 hours was determined not to be life threatening! I have so much more empathy for families in really challenging situations like yours now, just the sheer volume of information..

It's hard to figure out where a site like HN should draw the line when it comes to political arguments. We have to draw one somewhere, because political flames will consume the site entirely if we don't. But making all political themes off-topic isn't an option either (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...). It's a tough problem: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21607844.

One key test that we apply is whether an account is using HN primarily to do battle about these things (https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...). Even when they're not breaking the site guidelines in other ways by being snarky and so on (which is very good if so, and not at all common with this sort of account), that's still out of sync with the intended use of the site. This test turns out to be useful because it's an objective moderation standard (so when people inevitably say "you're just moderating me because you don't like my politics" we can answer in good conscience that that's not true), and because it fits the data well: HN accounts really are bimodal this way, and the ones that are using HN primarily for politics are far more likely to be damaging the commons here.

Those are the principles we use. The factual question is whether your account was using HN primarily to argue about politics. If not, I'm happy to be wrong—it just looked that way to me when I skimmed quickly. Even bimodal distributions have borderline cases! But it would be good to get more squarely into the desired mode.

Why not just do a partial burn and reduce the remainder to charcoal? It would be much cheaper, require no chemicals, and the end product is pure carbon, which would be easier to store. You could literally dump it in a pile and deal with it later.

You're the one talking about some utopian ideal of complete equality, I didn't bring that up :-)

I want us to not let people die from hunger, exposure and disease, which we currently do every day, because it's not profitable enough to make sure their needs are met.

I want us to stop punishing people for harmlessly growing and ingesting plants that make you feel good.

I want us to use our societies' wealth to do things for the benefit of society and humanity, instead of letting some wealthy people amass even greater wealth.

It was not very long ago that the great nations of the world did things "not because they are easy, but because they are hard". We need to bring that sort of idealism to bear on the great issues that trouble the world, namely climate change, ecosystem destruction, hunger and disease.
Yes - IFR for people in their 30s is still between 0.01% and 0.1%, which is significantly higher than the rate of death with thrombosis after AZ.

OP is claiming that "AZ could kill more people in the affected age ranges than the virus has done so far." so that's what I'm questioning.
What in the world? This is the most out of place reply I've ever received. I can't begin to understand what you think you read and the volumes of strange assumption you made about me

So then perhaps having a system where if worried about stalking from someone then the government can have a linked account to a "real name pseudonym" - which then the person verifies with, so if that gets leaked in a platform's database - then it's to the fake name.

But yes, ultimately being offline can provide most likely highest level of privacy - and then if wanting to not be connected to any verification system, then there are the myriad of problems like managing out people from bullies to bad actors from network(s) of verified users.
I'm not talking about motives, I don't know what they are, but I suspect that when crime happens, people prefer to move away if they can.

We had functional applications for forms and the like, in the 90s, running on machines with 8MB or 16MB of memory. They weren't as pretty, but they had simple development paradigms, VB and Delphi, easy to get started.

HTML has been the wrong place to make creating UIs (as opposed to marked up text) for such a long time. Things are getting better from multiple angles, but it's still very uneven.
Obligatory mention of Jevons Paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox
Going from a top down model like that is going to produce terribly inaccurate results. Property tax systems that use methodologies like that are exactly the ones that end up with the pathologies discussed in the article. Comps is the only decent—-note decent, not great—-way to do property tax assessments. (You can check model quality by looking at predicted value vs actual sales.)

With land taxes there frequently are no comps and so there’s no way to get to even the decent level.
Me too. Recently I was visiting what should have been a "simple" site, but for some reason maxing out my cpu because of some refresh loop. Maybe a bug, but the whole site could have been static html.
No one said its the reason, its just sign of how bad stuff is.

I'll bite. How would that look like in your opinion? In other words, to which part of her story would you apply this skepticism?

What does that have to do with anything?!!? This is a complete non-sequitur? You're throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks.

Why? People who believe they are harmed by cellular towers present very real symptoms. They are sincere. How do you you know her symptoms aren't psychosomatic?

Different type of vaccine. No.
I have to agree with this, but I think insecurity may affect junior developers more so than their seniors. Most of the new, in-demand tech that companies require of their applicants can be learned within a week or two, to be able to successfully contribute. That is, if you're already experienced with a number of complex frameworks or libraries. Then, It's simply a matter of reading the manual to figure out how to move the data from one place to another.

On the other hand, for a junior dev trying to break into the workplace, selecting the correct technology could be considered an important investment of their time, and ultimately their livelihood.
I’m personally impressed by how terrible the other trading apps are comparatively. Obviously they have more features etc but you’d think Vanguard & co. would try to follow in their footsteps.

Vanguard’s beta app, Beacon, is a step in the right direction, but I can already tell it won’t even compete with Robinhood’s design.
In Vienna, you could rent from a city-owned enterprise.
More so that wasn't the focus with the vaccines and it wasn't part of the testing.

Newer testing is showing a near complete stop of transmissions with vaccines. CDC is actively changing guidelines as these studies come out.
I started out working primarily on the front end when React was still in its v0 days, and it still amazes me how many options there are to build a simple form, how often it’s done wrong, and how often what could be a 2 hour MVP turns into sprints worth of bike-shedding on the tools to use.

I now work pretty much exclusively on backend systems and I’ve never felt better.
The US has bought and taken delivery of AZ vaccine, but isn't permitting its use. so it's in storage (although they recently announced to give some of it to Canada, and I'd expect they'd give it all away before actually letting it expire, because why wouldn't you?)
It’s a smaller sample than all cars I ever see, sure. But it’s still fairly big. If I look at a car I’ll usually try to look at the drivers face too, just because it’s useful information to know where they are directing their attention. I don’t think that’s particularly idiosyncratic and so it seems like a somewhat cheap argument to me to imply that people are basically just willfully deluding themselves.
I made something similar with KaTeX and Markdown. Mine is plain.

There has been a ton of work to address all of that such as web assembly, webgl, webgpu, webworkers, websockets, http2, sse, on and on. There's a lot of web tech out there (for better or for worse). You really can make a webapp that's just as feature rich, complex and performant as a native app these days. Still tons of work to be done though, web assembly in particular needs some additional features before it can really shine.

There is a neighborhood in my area that uses insanely high taxes to redline itself. $325k house in my metro area generally carries a tax of $4500 per year. The "redline district," we'll call it, charges $11k per year for the same valuation. That is $930 a month in real estate tax. A desirable neighborhood firmly surrounded by minority communities. The message is clear.
> Fill all the mines we’ve emptied over the years

...and why not do exactly that?

Keep in mind, a capture solvent is something that will stably hold onto the CO2 at STP. It doesn’t need special care or treatment; the CO2 just becomes incorporated into its molecular structure, and now that complexed molecule is “what it is.”

So it’s not like we’d be pumping the mines full of pressurized gas. We’d just be pouring a stable, non-reactive liquid or solid in there. Even if the mine had an earthquake, caught on fire, etc., that wouldn’t leak the CO2 back out into the world. It’s not nuclear waste. It’s rock dust.
The USA is already “lending” to Canada and Mexico.
The complete mockery of capitalism is a good point, the hardcore libertarians and standard bearers for capitalism today have obviously never read what people like Adam Smith actually wrote.
Wow, that's pretty surreal. An actual person with 2 high density connectors on their head. Each one streaming 48mbps of neural data. Parts of Philip K Dick's stories are almost real. Though I get that the data is coming out is still pretty low-fidelity and crude.
Not that I'm aware of, but it's actually pretty easy to build one from off the shelf parts (ESP8266, Plantower PMSA003, Sensirion SHT31, Sensirion SGP30, Senseair S8), which was my pet project during the pandemic. Basic soldering skills required, but otherwise nothing really complicated about it.

I can write something about it if there's any interest.

The leaders mistrusting Russia’s motives has to be balanced against the death toll of their citizens.

Refusing emergency aid and help because of some postulated alleged unspecified “motives” and not even willing to debate with others what those motives could be — is highly irresponsible.

You have to put aside political chauvinism when it comes to aid. It’s like when Palestinians refuse Israeli vaccine or when USSR refused European food aid during Holodomor, or when Venezuela did similar recently.

What about all the regular people who need emergency aid now, why are some people in the “leadership” able to deny them even access to it, for political reasons — while their own families secretly get all the best resources first? They don’t worry for their own families, so the plebes can just wait while the situation is resolved eh...

> Use the AZ vaccine on older people and the others on younger people, the risk calculus changes as you get older.

I am not sure older people would be too fond of this risk calculus. What about using "the others" on older people, and producing more of "the others" to vaccinate younger people later on?

The risk for the general population of younger people is low, they are not too afraid about the virus, and a potentially large part of them have already gotten COVID and recovered just fine. So there is no hurry in general. From what I read, people who are at risk without being extremely ill in the first place are old people and over-weight people (regardless of age). cf. https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.120.051936

I am not an expert abdominal surgeon. If we are in Antarctica and your appendix becomes inflamed, I will try to save you by cutting it out. But you will probably die.

I am not an expert front-end developer. I make sites for myself, for others, and have even been paid for it a few times. But I know I am basically an amateur. However, my sites are far, far better than almost all sites in the wild, created by teams of full-time, professional front-end developers. They work identically in all browsers, are fast, easy to navigate, and people say they look good. They validate, too, except for a few nonstandard htmx attributes.

There is something very strange in the WWW, when a self-taught amateur like me can make a site that is better than the New York Times’.
