We allow people to receive no vaccination at all. But we won't allow them to get this vaccine if they want it?

This reminds me about all those governments that allow people to buy and sell cigarettes, but ban the sale of raw milk.

Can we just name this "Raw Milk Syndrome"?
It’s the second sentence on the page:

“We find that housing speculation, anchored, in part, on extrapolation of past housing price changes, led not only to greater price increases and more housing construction during the boom in 2004 to 2006, but also to more severe economic downturns during the subsequent bust in 2007 to 2009.”
At some point, some large app needs to stand up against Apple. Fortnite was a start, but that's a game; it doesn't "hit home" in Silicon Valley culture.

I still have hope that Facebook will pull something major in response to the ATT changes. To be clear: I support the goals of ATT, and I think Apple is in the right on it. But I think freedom of distribution on iOS is more important than this, and when choosing between Freedom and Privacy (or as our forefathers would say, Freedom and Safety); I will choose Freedom, every single time.

Apple should not be forcing users to choose. There do exist non-resolvable dichotomies when one has to choose, but this is not one of them.
You don’t report upstream, you don’t probe into their lives and you are not a criminal if you miss something.

What you do is to create a process for KYC where you check against lists of threats like known terrorists or sanctioned persons, companies and governments.

For example you check if your client lives in Crimea or Cuba, if so the dealings with them need to be limited in accordance of the jurisdiction trade in.

You also need to look out for suspicious transactions and block or maybe report those, for example if a local barbershop business is moving a lot of gold, you are supposed to catch that.

There are a lot of companies and startups in the area who make tools to streamline this process. Since there’s no standardization across the globe, you need to build systems that can catch names that went through multiple transliterations or create statistical models to detects unusual activity and so on.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but the governmental organisations don't have the thigh grip on citizens that Facebook or Google have on their users.

This citizen control business is made of thousands of organisations that often work against each other. Significantly more vibrant space than the internet of 2021, a lot of userbase shifts are happening all the time. Lock-ins are softer than those of Google, visas and migration agreements give space to a lot of user flow between those.

There's no monopoly or central organisation to stream peoples lives to.
Well, yes ofcourse, object detection will still be a feature no doubt. The vehicle must have context of where it is. But overhauling infrastructure to be machine readable is an excellent idea to implement on high risk situations like suburbia and cities where pedestrians and dogs are actual factors. The vast majority of roads and infrastructure have no pedestrians. It's just highway and freeway. It would make sense for the car to follow other cars and calibrate its position accordingly without neccesarily "seeing".
While this is an interesting point to consider it's not completely equivalent. In short, taking an action that might harm in exchange for a small possibility of a benefit is much less appealing than taking an action which might harm you but will definitely bring a benefit.

To expand, people accept a level of risk depending upon the benefit they expect to get from it. In the case of the contraceptive pill the user has a clear & definite benefit (e.g. they are very unlikely to get pregnant from the sex they are definitely having). The benefit of the vaccine for the individual is less clear & loosely defined. It's another probability that's hard to know. The recipient might not get Covid-19 and if they did they might not get it badly. So it's a much more difficult benefit to weigh against the risk.

The assessment is easier the more at risk the recipient is (hence restricting use to older generations) and on a larger scale, where policy makers can compare that 1 in a million increase to the x in a million that will die from Covid-19. But for individuals, most people are not good at making those judgements correctly.

I left about 2.5 years ago. I wasn't unhappy with the job, just got a better offer, but this is pretty true. You could count on a "re-org" or new project management strategy being announced every two quarters with no more justification than "the current thing isn't working", and you could count on essentially no follow-through after that announcement.
// Correct: returns '1'
'Résumé'.localeCompare('RESUME', undefined, {sensitivity: 'accent'})

localeCompare() returns 0 if the strings are equal and -1/+1 if they're different. Since this section is about comparing two strings that only differ in case and accents, I would expect to see a method I could use that would consider the strings to be equal. Instead, this example just shows two ways to compare strings (=== and localeCompare) that both consider the strings to be different.
I would say that while CAN is much more complex as a protocol, it is far simpler from the point of view of the software interface: CAN works by sending and receiving atomic messages, and usually there's a straightforward messagebox protocol with the control which can be used. I2C on the other hand required a very complex (and timing-sensitive) interface between the software and the peripheral, due many details of the protocol being underspecified and varying from device to device. SPI is far simpler than the other two, even though there are many variations (usually just a matter of tweaking some bits in the peripheral).
I'd like to contribute an algorithm to this field of study. I call it, "Spend several months researching a novel algorithm when brute force would have been effective for all real-world problem sizes."
And we know adenoviruses interfere with the coagulation cascade through FX binding, so it’s well worth taking a pause and taking a closer look into what’s going on. With two well-tolerated and safe mRNA vaccines in the market, we can afford — to a degree! — to put Ad-based vaccines through additional scrutiny, especially since they’re likely to be the primary vaccine type on a global level.

In order to reach climate change targets we must reduce car dependency. How can we do this without nudging people away from cars? And how can we nudge them without taxes?
in collective bargaining you ALSO have no bargaining power as an individual.

That means you can't go to your bosses and say "I think I'm worth this much (more) money".

You also can't leave your job to get paid that much, because seniority at your new company means you will start at lower pay than you currently have.
> but I have no bargaining power as an individual

What about "stop putting me on call without compensation or I will leave the company"
If you find that ironic, then surely you see the irony when rich entrepreneurs blaze capitalism and oppose wealth tax while making money out of public infrastructure and skilled workers.

It is indeed too easy to see hypocrisy when strong opinions are expresses—particularly so if you don’t share the ideology. So easy in fact, and is done so often that it has become the meme that dane-pgp pointed out.
mRNA vaccines are a new way to cause the body to develop an immune response - it's not using dead/deactivated tissue of the virus that the body detects and then its holistic system develops a response to. From my current understanding with this new type of vaccine it's skipping step(s), bypassing mechanisms, that leads to the body producing something that targets the "spike" of the virus - basically making it inoperable.

I don't think we know long-term how this may impact the immune system: does bypassing certain systems/mechanisms cause other problems with future immune response?

It took how long for us to realize as common sense that use of antibiotics allows superbugs to more likely evolve?

Crimea was historically a part of Imperial Russia for more than a century.

In my understanding, if Ukraine becomes a NATO country, European Russia becomes indefensible. That means, the Russian govt is ready to escalate the matter all the way to the nukes.

" telling employees to download an app on their personal phones that would check their location and ensure they were working their scheduled hours."

That's 100% illegal on this side of the pond at least, if the company wants an employee to use an app they can provide a company phone. Then sure, whatever, she could switch the business phone off after hours, no problem at all.
This was a good read. Many tech companies (and some non-tech companies) talk the talk about hiring from a diverse crowd, then interview them as if they're all CS bros (reverse a tree, "justify the text" bullshit leetcode nonsense, 8 hours of interviews), the exact kind of stuff that people from diverse and non-traditional backgrounds don't know and don't care about.

The difference is that the energy used by Netflix to stream content is a mean to an end. Find a way to reduce the energy cost and you can provide the same value for less cost. It is possible to both increase the value provided by Netflix and decrease the energy consumed by it. In fact it's even desirable.

The energy consumed by Bitcoin is the entire value. Find a way to reduce the energy cost and everyone will mine more and consume more. If they don't the trust in the network decreases and the value of Bitcoin decreases. It is not possible to get a popular situation where bitcoin is valuable and does not consume a lot of energy. The valu of Bitcoin is strictly tied to the amount of electricity people are willing to waste for it.
The American Civil War was incredibly deadly and leveled massive portions of the US. The stereotypical backwardness of the southern states is a product of the damage done. The war was almost 200 years ago and they are still playing catchup due to the structural damage that was done. If the US populace is naive about the prospect of war, it`s not because of lack of exposure.
> After I finished school, as a software engineer I bought a home and a car (by taking a loan) and effectively I had negative wealth.

I mean, sure... but your wealth was only negative for a VERY short period of time. Your car still had value and you could close that gap in probably a few months and be net-worth positive.

I think there are way more people who are paycheck-to-paycheck at best. The average credit card debt in the USA is thousands of dollars. I don't think that's because people are just stupid with money, I think a lot of that comes out of necessity because they can't keep their head above water.
Ask HN: How do you promote code through environments in GitHub for GitOps?
Currently, when developer push code to dev branch, Github Actions build starts, builds and merge code to staging branch. It also opens PR to merge to main branch.

I have ArgoCD which syncs with both those branches and apply to our Kubernetes clusters.

While simple and works, it's messy and introduces extra commits.

How do you do this or what's the proper way to do this?
In the Gulag Archipelago, there's a story about Tsar Nicholas asking to be placed in solitary confinement so as to understand the conditions. The author notes that even this gesture was an indication of at least moral aspiration. Which I believe may fall under the umbrella of noblesse oblige

This is in stark contrast to the Organs operating the prisons during the Soviet era who would never submit themselves to torture to understand the plight of the prisoners they sentenced.

Anyway, just a fun anecdote, clearly noblesse oblige wasn't enough to stop the people from revolting in several cases.
> An interesting (and today, happily, academic) question is what happens to the UK in the event of, say, AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation -- aka the gulf stream that sends warm air up from the equator) shutting down. Noting that London's only 4 degrees latitude away from, say, Moscow.

Probably not that much because the notion that the gulf stream shutting down would send Northern Europe into an ice age is mostly a fiction:

http://ocp.ldeo.columbia.edu/res/div/ocp/gs/

Simply being next to an ocean with prevailing winds off that ocean is what gives the UK an oceanic climate, if the gulf stream vanishes there might be some slight cooling but it isn't going to make Glasgow have the same climate as Moscow because Glasgow won't be far inside a continental landmass.
Imagine you bought a BMW car and a year after you bought it they pushed an update that limited the speed to 90 mph, the car refused to drive through a 'bad neighborhood' and refused to take fuel from non-approved fuel stations? There would fucking riots in the streets.

Yet somehow this behavior is tolerated when it comes to this industry. The whole parade is being run by greedy wankers with no respect for individual liberty.
To be fair, if you've been in business more than a century (and are facing weird pressures probably best weathered by staying true to your Paper Of Record history), you probably don't want to be agile and risk taking.

It is so common in SPA that the long-press of the back button to see the list of recent sites should be muscle-memory by now for everyone.

Yes, it's an annoyance. Yes, sites should fix it. But not ever using a site because of it seems silly when it's literally a half-second longer click.

(Also, for this site I don't actually see the bug. So either they fixed it very rapidly, or GP was just referring to individual searchers being in the history, which is common for any search engine.)

> Because at least old money understands the concept of noblesse oblige

Interesting observation. I recently learned from a Fresh Air interview with Heather McGhee about Hinton Rowan Helper, a white racist Southerner abolitionist. He wrote a book analyzing the way chattel slavery harmed working-class whites and white society, the essential dynamic being:

the wealth of the plantation class did not depend on the labor of the white working class, nor their ability to buy product from the plantation class (cotton and tobacco were shipped north and globally); as a result the plantation (ruling) class had no incentive to invest in society; Helper quantified this by looking at number of libraries, schools, etc. in the North vs the deep South.

Obviously I don't want to claim the horrors of slavery are comparable to the effects of tech companies on the economy... but I wonder if the same _essential dynamic_ is there:

- wealth equating to political power

- an industry driven to remove any reliance on an educated populous or satisfied workforce (through automation, and the secondary effects of automation as in the way Uber etc. offloads risk onto drivers/society)

- an industry for whom the populous are not customers but "the product"
The juxtaposition present in the US is what I'm getting at, not that it's the only country with violent media. The US is A-OK with graphic violence, but try to show a nipple and you've got an uproar on your hands. The imbalance is astounding to me. I'm not European, by the way.

What part of the country are you in? And what counts as "pretty easy to get"? In California, the most populous state, people under 50 are not generally even eligible to try to get an appointment for another two days. I don't know how it is in other states, but I don't think this is unusual.

That the vaccination rate is supply-limited is manifest in the fact that less than a third of the U.S. population has been vaccinated at all.

Yes, there are places where there are vaccine surpluses, but this is not because the supply isn't the limiting factor. It's because in some rural areas there are large numbers of vaccine denialists who are choosing to forego the vaccine altogether. That leaves some localized surpluses. But overall supply is still the limiting factor, and it will continue to be until everyone who wants a vaccine can get one without having to wait.
I’ll add my own observation as someone in Taiwan. The vast majority of people here also don’t really believe a war with the Mainland will happen any time soon.

Yes, people will casually talk about it, our politicians will occasionally bring it up, and our media will sometimes cover it, but more local events take precedence.

For example, for the past week, the train crash that claimed 49 lives has been the main focus, despite the increase in fighter jets flying near our ADIZ.

If you ask people what their future plans are, the idea of a possible war doesn’t really factor into their planning.

Now there was a time it did. In 1996, before the first democratic election and again in 2000 when former President Chen was elected.

Back then there was a genuine fear and people were preparing for the worst. Maybe everyone is just used to it now.
