My point isn't to say that 1 in a million die of COVID, my point is that psychologically the decision makes sense.
You can't side load apps on iOS like you can on Android.
It's a myth that there are just a ton empty houses sitting idly like that. The reality is that the most expensive housing markets are also the ones with the least vacant. Even after a ton of people temporarily moved out of NYC during the pandemic, like me, the vacancy rate of NYC is still less than that of the entire US.

If Apple made an iPhone version with 3.5 jack, i'd throw my Samsung out of the window (literally) in a second. I have no interest to replace my 300euro or so headphones with their Bluetooth garbage.
That's helpful, thank you. CAN does sound much more heavy-weight, though I guess it might be a good fit when you have multiple MCUs (not just sensors to connect to one MCU).
Yes, it does exactly that. If you check "Web" on the left sidebar, and uncheck "Stories" it will find the posts where "friendship" occurs in the linked web pages. But we still show the title of the original hacker news story in the search result and highlight the search term if it ALSO occurs in the title.

If you scroll long enough within the search results you will finally reach results where the search term is not in the title, but only within the linked web page.

It is more obvious if you search for queries which are less popular than "friendship"
But the pre-installed Safari is okay? All browsers on iOS are just Safari skins, so why isn't iOS as a whole rated 17+? All those web filters for adult content don't work. You might not be able to access pornhub but there are millions of other websites with pornography.
Really?

Over the last 200 years, at least, how many major conflicts have started for secular politics vs religious politics. I feel there is a heavy skew towards the former.
Being competitive and successful does not make someone a bad person. Being on the other side of open source does not either. You can't judge a person's character by these things.

If you want to focus on just his business, initially, Gates was a tech hero, upsetting the incumbents as much as any modern disruptor. His company came to be known as a villian, was itself upset, and is going through a reinvention period during which I think they are doing really good things. But none of that should be about his character. He played the game and won, then got out and focused on more important things.
>"including whether citizens are “ready to accept the level of casualties we have never seen since world war two”"

And if they're not ready then what? Oopsy can't have big war cause not enough votes? I do not like this part at all. It reads like they actually want a war assuming they train the obedient to be willing to die "en masse".
"Citation needed" is a lazy way to throw FUD at an argument; if someone who didn't even leave the comment you are responding to can spend 30 seconds to find the citation on Google to answer your question, you could have done so yourself instead of demanding other people cite every single thing they say lest they aren't believed.
Meta-comment: The ratio of downvoting to discussion in here is rather worrisome. The current top thread isn't really even about COVID vaccines; it's primarily an argument of the "this isn't an argument, this is contradiction" variety about birth control, of all things.

It should be possible to have a mature, good-faith conversation about this, even on a pseudonymous web forum.
Indeed, but they come from a place where not valuing dying for your country enables millions of civilian deaths and a totalitarian state.
Banking, at the level of being the financier of nations, was a global industry then as it is now. Many of those people at the time were British or American and a number of them died on that boat.
This is nonsense! Consumer businesses are the largest and most profitable in the world by a mile.
Why are you interested in this?

If it is for anything other than very LOW power (microwatts), you're going to be disappointed.

It is essentially a beta emitter hooked to a capacitor via some electronics to handle voltage conversion. The thing is the beta source is use it or lose it, and very low power. If you scaled this up to power a Tesla, it would be a nightmare, as it would need to dissipate the full power the car requires, all the time, or it would melt down (aka Fukashima)

How do you suggest they do that? Any enterprise certificate they use to sign the .ipa would be revoked within hours, probably minutes. Telling users to sign it themselves (and re-sign it every 7 days) just isn't feasible.

The only alternative would be not to have an iOS app, but that would also be a significant blow to their business. I can't, in good conscience, blame them for complying here.

I'm from the Netherlands. I don't know much about tax loopholes though.

I do remember reading about some loophole possible through the Netherlands, called the 'Dutch Sandwhich' [0] hence why there are supposedly a lot of companies with just a postbox address in Amsterdam (we call these 'postvakbedrijven' in dutch). Not sure what the extend of this loophole is, or if it is still possible to exploit.

I wouldn't bet my company on it though, I prefer just to pay tax in my own country. I see it as my contribution to society.

Unfortunately I think the anti-vaxxers can twist the logic however they want. The government is putting on a show about how transparent they are to win trust... etc.

I'm not sure how to get through that... from what I understand it takes alot of effort and time per person.
You're mis-reading him. You need to understand that this entire essay is an attempt to define tech founders as "labor". That's the only way any of what he's saying makes sense. So it's not really about, "how to get rich," but instead, "My friends and I aren't the next generation of robber barons, we're working-class folks like you."
What organizations are forcing you to get vaccinated. I’ve heard a lot of speculation and honestly there should be more forceful, but I’m not aware of any. Plenty of jobs force you to drive which is absurdly risky
We are still churning out fossil-fueled cars in Volkswagen, Renault, Peugeot, Mercedes, BMW factories all across Europe.

These brands are deliberately delaying their rollouts because with so few moving parts, EVs need much less maintenance and thus the aftermarket sales and dealer service profits are lower.

Rejigging those factories and supply chains to make EVs also requires investment and effort.

For the sake of the profits of a few companies we are jeopardizing the security and habitability of the planet.

If all new cars being made in Europe were EVs, oil would absolutely be irrelevant. The Middle East could blow up and we could easily change to alternative suppliers. We are already seeing this to an extent now, where Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabian oil infrastructure elicit little price response.

I grew up next to an US listening post, NSA back then and German BND for a couple of years now. Same thing! That lakes one wonder how many such places exist on the other side of what used to be the iron curtain.
France and Britain's response was to promptly declare war on Germany, which is a little more than doing nothing given that just 21 years earlier they had taken most of the casualties in the defeat of Germany in the world's largest war.

> There are problems and most Russians are aware of them and as soon as there emerge a political forse which will feel like they may fix them we'll definitely vote for it.

"Putin will kill or jail anyone who opposes him, but they sucked anyways. As soon as a good challenger comes along we'll for sure vote them in!"

I wasn't even trying to be snide, but actually writing out this scenario made it too absurd to signal any other sentiment.

It's not that a bipartisan system fixes any and all problems, it's that a system where any opposition doesn't fear for their life at least opens up the possibility of viable alternatives.
The idea that a financial institute would not work right up to the very edge of lawful if it meant losing out to a competitor is laughable. Not lost, just not fought, or more accurately unenforced. But the term money laundering is amorphous in the media. Depending on how they would like to frame the story. The number one issue on the planet is the disparity in the distribution of wealth and power. It is obscene. And this is part of it. And it is not going to change unless they are made to change, or, caught at it.
That’s fair. To me the context of dropping mobility is more important than the absolute percentages.
Is there a reason not to split the app into SFW and full versions? I am surprised I haven't seen this in other places, but it seems like the right solution here.
It's not about stop. It's about showing that you tried. Do you think those "click yes if you're 18" are there to stop you? Nope, it's about protecting your ass in case some concerned patent starts complaining.

They might not be Protestants, but the cultural framework created by them the is still there.
Very serious question here — where can we have 18+ discussions of NSFW topics? There are very real reasons to do this; somewhat mundane things like LGBT communities and sporting firearms competitors are having a very hard time using common communication platforms on the Internet because the vagueness in the definition of “NSFW” and the policing of subject matter.

Life is full of wonderful people of varying shades of weirdness. Freezing the people at the fringes out of mobile platforms does a disservice to everyone.
The point is that it’s not historically Ukrainian and that given its history Russia has more claim in it than the other claimant. And given its strategic importance, I don’t see them giving up that claim.

It’s akin to China asserting a claim on Guam. We will not let that happen.
I wonder if it's possible to use the web app on iOS. I've been doing that on my pinephone for a while and it works very well.
There is no secret about the benchmark, its all open source: https://github.com/wolfgarbe/LuceneBench
The comment by Barleyman on the Ars Technica article on this [1] has a graphic from someplace called the Winston Centre for Risk Analysis that shows the benefits in COVID reduction vs the harms from the AZ vaccine by age group.

According to that graphic, if you are in a time of medium COVID infection rates (60 per 100k per day), the risk from COVID outweighs the vaccine risks in that age group. If you in a time of low rates (20 per 100k per day) the vaccine risks outweigh the COVID risks.

The vaccine risk goes down as patient age goes up, and the COVID risk goes up as age goes up.

The J&J risks will probably follow a similar pattern and it also appears that the J&J clots require unusual treatment. That suggests a pause to at least figure out where the risk curves cross and to make sure that doctors and hospitals are prepared to recognize and treat the J&J clots.

Many Australians became such after migrating from war-torn countries or - like myself - are children of such immigrants (my mother and her grandparents are Estonian, and left Estonia during the Russian invasion of Estonia during WWII). You are correct that Australia hasn't suffered an 'invasion' (putting aside, yes, the invasion of Aboriginal Australia), but I do believe there are many current-day Australians who have a very good idea what a 'real war' can do to you, your loved ones and society in general.
I see this as making the safety of the specific vaccines an unfalsifiable proposition. If the absence of side effects proves that it's safe to vaccinate and the identification of side effects proves it's safe to vaccinate, what could ever prove that a specific vaccine is unsafe?
Lol, do you think pornhub has no visitors from vatican?

Hypocrisy is grandest in 'traditional' societies, Bin laden had an enviable porn collection.
The company that is still litigating the fact that it knowingly put asbestos in baby powered made a dangerous vaccine? Color me shocked.
J&J is objectively more dangerous. So what argument do you have to not pause it given the "experimental" tech is orders of magnitude safer?

Maybe I'm nitpicking, but I think "getting safer" or "decreased risk" do not mean "being safe" or "no risk". Black swans do appear and something less probable but with catastrophic implications is totally worth preparing for.
They expect to be recruited to army and good physical training will make them better soldier and increase their chances to survive. If full-scale war will happen, it's likely that every man of appropriate age will be recruited except for very important workers. That's why many countries have mandatory military training for its citizens.

Yes, but parents can turn on content filtering within iOS onto Safari, as well as allow or block websites individually. Other browsers do not implement this filtering.
Yes, much like AI was here for 40+ years with very little penetration into the mainstream.

Technologies like this remain stagnant until the landscape is ready for them. In this case, the advent of AI and big data is what will make relationship data important. "Semantic web" as in human edited XML/HTML with semantic data embedded was never going to happen and was silly from the get-go. But RDF-style semantic data transferred between machines that infer meaning is an absolute certainty.

It's one of those things that's forever a joke until suddenly it's not. There's a fortune of oil out there, but we have to get past the steam age first (and that'll come sooner than you think).

How do you install apps only available in Ubuntu as snaps?
You're out of luck. That's why we are so reliant on the credit reporting agencies. There is some recourse if you already own assets. There are two types of loans. Secured and unsecured loans. Secured loans are backed by assets and those certainly can be forcibly removed. Unsecured loans (the vast majority of smaller credit card type loans), have no backing and the lost money is generally understood to be recovered through interest payments.
Considering how quick people are to jump on the morals of other countries, specifically their not accepting what we decide is good, its not like this is a fight anyone is going to win.

I really would prefer the ability to choose the content I want through each app. Perhaps they could have a country of interest drop down. I certainly don't want someone to just up and decide but in today's social and litigious environment I can see why some companies are making the choices they do.
The problem in this case is an unspoken governance model where a participant from decades ago showed up, made public accusations about the trustworthiness of the other participants, then declared a time schedule of his own choosing during which he would consult his own private council to judge the veracity of all the public arguments given.

Whatever we want to call that, and whatever the origins of the problem, it is a bad thing.

Edit: clarification
Ha! Thank you for noticing that. I've fixed it :)
That's probably true, so maybe the 2% death rate is too high, again, let's assume that the OP's point of 0.5% is accurate.

As I said, that still implies that if everyone in the United States got it, 1.5 million of them would die (320,000,000 * .005). That's a lot of people.

If a government did nothing to prevent a terrorist attack that killed 1.5 million people, most people would (rightly) be pretty upset.

EDIT:
Also, forgot to mention, it's totally disingenuous to only look at "deaths". We do not fully know the long term health effects, but as I stated there's potential neurological effects, potential risks of type 1 diabetes, and people permanently losing smell.
> Looks like it was 6 cases after about 7 million doses. Even if it were caused the vaccine, the risk there is incredibly low. Much lower than the risk of an adverse COVID case, I would think.

Right, but the clots happened about 2 weeks after the vaccine, so that what portion of those ~7 million were administered over two weeks ago? Clots happened to a similar demographic, so what portion of those ~7 million were to women in the right age group? What about clots that cause damage that’s not immediately obvious (and thus not spotted).

I hesitate to dismiss the risk outright, but I do think that we should hold the CDC/FDA to the standard of “methodical.”
The burden of proof falls on the accuser.
I wouldn't describe it as theatre. It's more an abundance of caution while we deal with something new and dangerous. Thats totally sensible. There's no real benefit in jumping the gun and getting it wrong, particularly when washing your hands and wiping down surfaces is a minor inconvenience.

Incorrect - we have had outbreaks with 1000s of people infected - but as the post above you correctly mentioned - when that happened, we did an incredibly strict lock down.

For example, for ~3 months we had:

- 1 person could go grocery shopping once per day for 1 hour

- you could only go outside for a maximum of 1 hour per day for excervise only

- every single organisation (other than critical care locations) had their physical locations shut down

- everyone was mandated to wear masks outside of their residence

And a bunch more...

We had ~5 community cases identified in Brisbane recently and the entire city went into an instant hard lockdown for 3 days whilst contact tracers worked out the scale of the issue.

It has nothing to do with how many cases we have, but everything to do with how harshly and rapidly we prevent community interaction.

J&J is an adenovirus vector vaccine, which is barely less experimental than mRNA. AFAICT the only licensed adenovirus vector vaccines are for Ebola, and those have not been used very widely.

Earlier attempts to use adenovirus vectors for gene therapy had issues due to, wait for it, thrombocytopenia.

The the one and only COVID vaccine that uses more or less tried and true technology and looked excellent in trials is Novavax. (AIUI Novavax’s adjuvant is newish, fancy, and not necessarily that easy to scale, and it may well be responsible for the excellent performance.)
It is still around, although basically only from Clickteam still. You can get Clickteam Fusion: https://www.clickteam.com
According to the article, 6.8 million people in the US have received the J&J shot. Without the J&J vaccine, those people (6.8 million others) would not be vaccinated due to lack of supply.

The US CDC website[1] currently says the 7-day death rate per 100k people is 1.4. Without the J&J vaccine, that's almost 100 additional people dying per week - and just in the US.
