Psychologically, the moment you get the first shot you feel immortal. The CDC here is offering the public health version of abstinence training. Yes, in theory you should behave like you're unprotected until two weeks after the second shot. In practice, people are going to throw a rager on the first warm weekend of spring, followed by a hedonistic summer, and it would be nice to have more guidelines about mitigating risk in those circumstances, and fewer expecting people to maintain an unrealistic strictness.

It's also a bummer to see basic CDC guidelines still not mentioning adequate ventilation, which helps far more than masks do, over a year after we learned the disease is airborne.
No you get a free vaccine, obviously.
Did people stop drinking alcohol during prohibition?
7 people in a fairly specific demographic (women 18-38, I believe), when there are 2 other alternative vaccinations available.

Do we have any data on the total number of women 18-38 who received this vaccine? It may actually be fairly low given we may have selection bias to give these vaccines to an older population.

The outcome may simply be to recommend that members in this demographic avoid this particular vaccine until further analysis is done.
Not going to happen. I am not going to risk my life and my family's life on emergency use experimental vaccines. Typical vaccines are multi year efforts 5 o 6 years atleast multiple rounds of trials over longer time horizon to identify the side effects.
I biked up Mount Umunhum (means "place of the hummingbirds") on a terrible, steel frame mountain bike when I was a kid up Hicks Rd. Los Gatos and came down the other side by the reservoir at 45 mph / 72 kph (measured by cyclometer) sitting on the rear bike rack because the road was very, very steep. It had an old Cold War radar dish on it since it was the highest peak and it was visible from my house in South San Jose. The road to the radar dish was closed then. It has a weather station on it now.

I've never see it not covered in snow in the winter, green in the spring, or brown or yellow in the autumn and summer.

If this is the case, Has this happened before? If it does happen more often, maybe this area could be turning into a desert? If I remember, the native peoples lived amongst trees and more vegetation than exists today because immigrants cleared the land for farmland. (The house I grew up in was originally on the land of cherry orchards and I would find many ancient, rusty iron nails.)

South west San Jose / Almaden Valley are probably in the partial rain shadow of the Santa Cruz mountains, but the top of the Santa Cruz mountains should have lots of rain and fog.

It appears to me that the complaints in the video seem to go more towards the problems of license compatibility (or lack of backwards compatibility) between GPLv2 vs GPLv3 creating tons of problems with outside contributions to the kernel if the typical "or later" clause was used.

Some of the other commenters here seem to stress the Tivoization clause, but it appears to me that that is not the real issue. Linus even says so, at one point when the guy asking the questions repeatedly tries to stress that point.
The mRNA vaccines are new. We don't know that our experience with other vaccine types will be exactly the same.

We could tune the material to whatever wavelength we wanted, but for ours we targeted above 850nm as that was a common filter. Regarding the actual camera to IR, you are right. Even the front facing camera on a iPhone is sufficient to read them.

Many cars use front facing cameras that with minimal adjustment could read at the proper wave lengths, but one issue for a lot of vehicles right now is that the windshield has an IR filter to minimize heat and interior damage. For cameras behind the rear view mirror, the standard windshield creates an issue. Windshields with a small cut of the film would be sufficient, but they are not manufactured to my knowledge.

For general fiducials not related to these, I had hoped to put them everywhere. Think even hidden everywhere and read by phones. But at least for a while I think the read facing cameras on phones will continue to have the filter and using the phone backwards with the front facing camera is awkward.
They didn't require "her phone" until after she was already working for them. They didn't hire two things "as a package".
8 bit is definitely doable today, fast

There are basically 2 strategies:

- do fast operations, with a limit on how many you can do. This is called Leveled Homomorphic Encryption, with CKKS being the most popular scheme. Microsoft open sourced a lib called Seal for it.

- do unlimited operations, but with extra overhead. This is called Fully Homomorphic Encryption, with TFHE being the fastest implementation. My company Zama has open sourced an library in Rust called Concrete.

Reminds me a lot of deep learning in 2010, just before it took off!
Yes, but not from previous reports. See the other responses about how previous reports are handled. I would expect cases to rise as unreported things get reported, and as doctors start to ask the right questions when they see these events and report things that previously wouldn't have been reported but probably should have. Not to mention that with these reports I expect doctors to ask the right questions and so previously misdiagnosed events get diagnosed correctly (some of these might be unrelated to the vaccine though making the data messy).
I didn't advocate for 'no censorship'. Censorship is a continuum. It is more-or-less a fact that zeal for censorship has gone up in the HN gestalt, and I assert the HN gestalt is making the mistake of thinking they or people friendly to their views will be the ones deciding what gets censored.

Increasing comfort with censorship of a larger range of views will also translate into increasing comfort with stronger measures taken, because of course if you are running around saying censorable things you should get higher interest rates or it should show up on your credit report. But... are you sure you're going to be the ones in charge of what gets censored? Because you aren't.

Advocating for less censorship and less consequences for censorship, not no censorship, is a sensible Nash equilibrium to pursue for everyone. Advocating for more censorship and more comfort with censorship will empower people who will eventually censor you. Those who are using the gestalt's comfort with censorship (and equivalent comfort with censorship elsewhere) are only using the censoring of things you agree with today as a cover for the acquisition of power. Once they have it, what you want it for will not be something they're too worried about. They're going to use it for themselves. It is wiser not to give that power up just because they're promising to use it for things you like today.

(Among the ways in which censorship is a continuum are the size of the community in which it is taking place (HN is fairly small), and the nature of what is being censored (most of what gets nuked from HN is for tone or outright trolling, though I do not assert all). It isn't even remotely hypocritical to be comfortable with that, which is rather minimal and functional, while being uncomfortable with the increasingly political nature of censorship being advocated for in the largest forums. I'm also on record as being skeptical as to whether something the size of "Facebook" can ever be "a community": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20146868 )
It's not the risk of clots. It's the risk of vaccine hesitancy because people fear a cover up. I think that's outweighed by the increased vaccine hesitancy because people only hear this scary story and not the low numbers (see also AstroZeneca).
The latter change introduces an unnecessary clone(). The correct approach is to instead introduce a variable so that headerRegex can keep being a reference to either that variable or to HEADER_REGEX.

I missed this when first reading their site. It seems that they're really pushing for the $9/month subscription – the old 12 months of updates pricing is in the small print below a huge box selling their subscription.

Maybe they too are moving in that direction? I wouldn't blame them.
I'm surprised to hear this description of Ukraine. I'll agree that their economy is not particularly strong (although it is recovering), but it has historically been an agricultural powerhouse and is still one of the world's largest grain exporters. Famine in Ukraine in the last century was a direct result of the collectivisation policy of the USSR, not an intrinsic inability to feed their own population.

The message I'll take from our exchange here is that what you and I know to be true is a result of the culture and media that we've been exposed to throughout our lives, and that objective truth is hard to determine, even for well educated people. Less well educated and informed people stand little chance of discovering the true-truth in this environment.

To me the justification is: we're in the midst of what we already know to be a global pandemic. The number of lives lost is nothing to scoff at. We do not want to declare victory until we know we can declare victory.

Personally, I feel that's a fair justification for the CDC's hesitation.
MLK Junior had --- to use a bit of satire but with a serious message --- had two choices:

1) Because the issue of racism and it's surrounding issues was a dead horse, elected to opt out and open a barber shop, preach, or become a lawyer. Thankfully he didn't.

2) Because the issue of racism and it's surrounding issues was a dead horse, he cause could has said enough talk, and went a violent approach for payback or retribution. Thankfully he didn't.

He took the middle road which requires more backbone, more intellect, more will power, better communication, and a better message. Thank goodness for that.

To the OP: the whining, and outrage is interesting at the periphery. But now what?
A while back there was an interesting post about dry stone walls[1] (e.g. stone walls erected without any mortar). The top comment included this recommendation for beginners in stone masonry:

> When you pick up a stone from the pile, it MUST be placed on the wall. You either have to make it fit your intended spot through rotation or another adjustment, or you have to find another place on the wall for it. It CANNOT be placed back on the pile.[2]

The post explains that using this restriction makes you a better masonry overall because you train your self to the exact skills required. I find this a lot better analogy to restrictive programming languages then a straitjacket. When you restrict your self to always place a stone you pick up, you train your eyes to first evaluate which kind of stones you need next, and you train your self to find that stone in a pile. I don’t see exactly what you are training exactly when you wear a straitjacket.

> Inequality is only bad if you're in a zero-sum game.

Which we are, because inequality enables advantages in grabbing pieces of various natural monopolies. Land is a prime example; real estate is a zero-sum game (the oblate spheroid we call "Earth" has a finite geographical area, and therefore so does any portion thereof), and rich people are able to play it by "investing" in real estate (read: hoarding land with the understanding that its value will increase perpetually on average due to the fixed supply and population-scaled demand). This is inherently exploitative of anyone lacking such an ability, and inherently results in the transfer of wealth from the working class to the ownership class - both directly (via rent) and indirectly (via opportunity costs).
>Apple definitely cares about its customers being driven away from them.

Maybe Apple realizes not caring about blatant scams won't drive customers away from them because there'll always be a core of people who buy into Apple's marketing and jump in to defend them basically no matter what's going on?
This is why people talk about optimization instead of intelligence, since you side-step the baggage that comes with the word "intelligence". E.g. an optimizer doesn't need to be universal to be a problem, whether it's optimizing for social media addictiveness or paperclip manufacturing.

Internal implementations and external interfaces are not necessarily the same thing. When reading a single-threaded application's code, it is helpful to read it as a series of instructions, executing serially. In reality, both the compiler and your CPU are constantly reordering instructions, and executing them in parallel/out-of-order. However, this is all done while still preserving the illusion of serial-execution. Taking a beginner programmer down this rabbit-hole of implementation details, is going to be more harmful than helpful.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I already find git easy to use. And thinking of commits as diffs that can be cherry-picked, rebased and reordered, is something that helps me greatly in understanding it.

Be careful to click through to the actual pharmacies, though. It is often out of date with actual availability being lower than indicated. Our state has also been running mobile events that have generally not been fully booked.

The reason for the pause was explicitly stated by the health officials as quoted in the article, so I don't know why you'd say this was unclear let alone unsaid.

Tivoization is when a computer comes with GPL code, but refuses to run it if there have been any modifications to the code. Tivo used to ship GPL'd software, and provide the source, but they had some kind of lock that checked the authenticity of the code being run. So it defeated the entire purpose of the GPL, which is so the end users have control of their own computers.

The neocortex knows whether or not I’m popular, but it doesn’t care, because (on this view) it’s just a generic learning algorithm. The old brain cares very much whether I'm popular, but it’s too stupid to understand the world, so how would it know whether I’m popular or not?

"If I put my hand on this sugar, grab it, and move it to my mouth, then this other part of my brain will release reward chemicals" = good plan.

Concepts become abstracted over time, like "eat" as a shortcut for the above. "Popular" could be another shortcut for something like "many people will smile at me, and not hurt me, causing this other part of my brain to release reward chemicals and not punishment chemicals" = good plan.

Why should you not attend medium-size gatherings after being vaccinated? It's okay to be in a group of 100 people in a plane, but not in that same group of people in a field outside? It doesn't make any sense to me. There are more people dying from shark attacks than from covid spread through medium-size gatherings of vaccinated people.

I feel like the CDC has this mistaken idea of how to get trust, that they will become trusted by always erring on the side of "more lockdown". But always making the same mistake isn't the way to get people to trust you, it's the way to get people to realize, oh this group doesn't really tell you the truth. They are like the boy crying wolf, giving you many false warnings and making it impossible to tell the real warnings.
> With a prescription, you also have a steady supply and no need to commit crimes to keep up your supply.

It's almost like addicts are self-medicating and we should give them a legal, prescribed supply of medication.

> Look at when the opoid crisis became a crisis -- it was when cheap, easy opioids stopped being available.

What? In high school (20 years ago, Central PA) I knew zero people who used opiates. A few years later I knew people who made trips to Philadelphia. Now they're available everywhere. Perhaps the flow of pill scripts slowed, but fentanyl filled that gap.
Yeah, that's the greedy algorithm and it will probably take you pretty far, but there's no guarantee that it's optimal. What if the package has lots of dependencies, but they are already covered by other packages. Do you kick other packages out? Which ones? Or is it better to keep them in and add some other packages?

This problem is almost certainly NP-complete (it's basically the the "set cover" problem from Karp's 21 NP-complete problems), so for something the size of NPM it's almost certainly infeasible. Your greedy version would probably get you a pretty nice result, though.
> Legality would likely push people on the "I think it's bad for me, but I'm tempted to try, and since it's legal it should be ok safe" to the wrong side.

I don't believe that's a thing. Look up Research Chemicals when you have a minute. They're variations of existing drugs with pretty much the same properties, but not necessarily illegal, e.g. 1P-LSD. Governments react by making them illegal at some point, but you have quite a while until they actually are. Still, we're not seeing things like 1P-LSD in every household, because, most people don't avoid LSD for legal reasons.
> That's pretty much it, it's just a stupid dance. You can get angry and say "No no no, this dance is stupid!" Or you can learn the dance, do the dance, then be richer than 95% of people in the world.

I mean, yeah, that's what I'm saying: It's stupid and I don't want to be part of it. I'm taking it a step further and saying that the people who help propagate it aren't doing themselves or anyone else any favors.

There's more important shit than money, and it's lame that we have an economic system that rewards people so massively for doing stupid dances.

> Also note that there are entire classes of scams that never get click baity titles because Apple DOES detect them and shut them down before they're widespread.

That's beside the point. According to the thread, Apple detected this one. So why didn't they shut it down? The thread speculates that it's because Apple is making significant revenue from it and, frankly, that sounds like a logical conclusion - at least until Apple can be bothered to remove the app or explain their justification for leaving it up.

Besides, doesn't Apple manually review apps on their store? I've read story after story of app devs complaining about how that review process screwed them over in one way or another. Surely one of the top 500 highest grossing apps on their store would garner at least a little extra attention in a manual review, right? How did this even slip through the cracks in the first place?

> learning Rust is a serious problem IMHO, not only because it's hard in itself, but it's because it's hard to structure a plan to learn it.

I totally agree. One of the issues is that there are so many complex and novel topics that you will run into in your first week of working on a real project, and you have to wrap your head around all of them to some degree to be able to progress. If there is an obvious and clear progression path, I did not discover it.

> the complexity of programming is very, very far from Python

I could not agree more. These languages are deeply philosophically different in my mind.
