I think there were broadly 3 strategies:

1. Do very little intervention, but perhaps isolate the vulnerable. This was the "Sweden strategy".

2. Do big interventions if cases rise, but only so far as is required to prevent hospitals being over-whelmed. This was the strategy in most of Europe, and in particular the UK.

3. Do big interventions with the intention of reaching "covid zero", including restrictions on international travel. This was the strategy of Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan and perhaps China (hard to get the full story).

Having spent the past year under (2) I wish I was living under (3). Sure it's painful in the short term, but compared to rolling lock-downs for over 12 months?
Honestly I'm not sure if 14000 acronyms is a big number for a community of this size, it is accounting for nearly 400000 publications after all.

You might also want to ponder the fact that there are about 4 times as many names as objects being described by these names :)
Some opinions here feel dead wrong to me. Moralism included. However I did not downvote a single post on HN as I am a firm believer that this up/downvote culture leads to people adjusting their behavior to suit the average / PC and also leads to "mob lynching". It stands complete opposite to free speech in my opinion.
Woah, you are right! I just checked my Chrome task manager (Shift+Esc on Linux). It is never less than 50% CPU at top of page in 3D mode. If I scroll, it jumps to > 100% CPU! The tab is using 250MB of RAM. And to think I am working on a ridiculously over-powered workstation w/ 3.8 GHz cores & 4K screens!

Isn’t Fortnite basically entirely back on the play store and that’s where most users are coming from? That proves it doesn’t work.
I still don’t think the analogy captures the reality of the situation. I’d argue it’s more like buying a car that advertised room for five passengers, but when it’s delivered your discover a third row giving you enough room for your entire family of seven. Until you take it in for an oil change, when they lock your kids in the trunk and try to sell you an SUV.
That's very difficult and unlikely to happen under US law. They probably have a corporate entity that will just cease to exist along with any debt. If they don't, bankruptcy or old debt will only impact their credit for afew years.

No different and probably more easily explained then an eviction. Try renting anywhere with an eviction. The risk is largely the same.
Given the mortality rate (roughly on par with 2003), I wouldn't say it proved to be "so deadly".

On top of this, a lot of the people who died were already vulnerable, so we will likely see a downtrend on elderly deaths in the next years (all the people who would have died in 1-5 years for other reasons but died now because of covid).

Sure, a lot of people died but I don't think it warranted 2 years of isolation and aggravating the already dire financial position of millennials.

Our goal as a society is not only to ensure most people stay healthy and alive; we could just put everyone in confinement cells for the rest of their life if we wanted that.

I think our goal is to balance that with what people desire are.

I'd happily take a higher chance of dying to live the free life I want.
Yeah. That is a problem with older Raspberry Pis, which do not have a keyboard. It is possible to use a GPIO port for this, and shut it down with an attached button. But one has to be careful not to use the port unless it is configured properly, because that could cause a short-circuit, and the R-Pi is not protected against that. Having a keyboard on which you can type Ctrl-Alt-Del is much easier to use and will work on most relevant circumstances. In modern Raspian editions, this can be configured in systemd.
I usually frame it this way - Mazda Motor Corporation, an order of magnitude smaller company can provide me with a several salons in my < 2mil population country where there are physical people that will fix my problem.

And Google, the mighty megacorporation, can't even clear a basic phone support bar, much less a local user support office in each region? Something normal for other corporations?
Exactly right, and also, thank you for reminding me I forgot to brush my teeth.

>> Whenever you want a new column, you must execute DDLs (ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN) also leading to forced commits, overly broad permissions, chaotic backup procedures and/or code artefacts containing the dreaded SELECT * syntax.

I don't understand what you mean here. With datalog, if you have a predicate person(Name, Age, Height) and you want to add an argument (a "column") for income, you can simply create a new predicate person(Name, Age, Height, Income).

Or, if you want to avoid duplication, you can write a rule to combine the information in two (or more) predicates:

person(Name, Age, Height, Income):-
person(Name, Age, Height)
,person(Name, Income).

You don't need to remove the old predicate. That's actually one case where Datalog works better than SQL, that only allows "rows" i.e. "facts" (in Datalog parlance) but not "rules" that establish relations _between tables_.

That's true for Datalog, based on what I know about Prolog (not a Datalog expert!). I don't know how it works in Logica, but from reading the article above I think the semantics would be similar.

>> Basically, the workflows and use cases for SQL RDBMSs and Datalog/graph databases are not the same, and if you're using one on top of the other, you're getting the intersection of possibilities but the union of problems, as is well known from O/R mappers );

That's funny. But I don't think it applies here. SQL and datalog are both relational. The difference is that Datalog lets you define relations over tables ("rules"), not just relations over data ("facts"/"rows"). Essentially, SQL is one half of datalog's relational semantics - only information without reasoning. Datalog adds reasoning on top, but the reasoning is still, well, relational (facts, rules and queries are all relations). There's no impedence mismatch here, as in trying to fit relational data into a non-relational program.
Fingerprinting something like this would be trivial, they've probably already done it. Using the ja3 library [1] you can make pretty good deterministic TLS connection fingerprints, and that works fine for traffic that you can't decrypt. IDS/IPS software has used similar methods to identify and block encrypted traffic for some time now.

That went away with global menu, I'm afraid. In vanilla gnome every app handles it own menu however it likes, so this kind of integration is not possible.

For all its flaws, Unity really tried to offer an unified desktop experience.
The number of traffic-related fatalities in Denmark is around 200 per year, see e.g. [1]. Blood clots appear in 4 per 1M people (UK numbers, [3]) or 10 per 1M (Denmark numbers, [2]). That would mean about 24 to 58 Danish people would get blood clots from their first shot. Denmark had 2447 covid deaths, [4]. If you zoom in on certain age-groups, then perhaps Denmark's decision could still make sense, though.

Agreed. Last time I went for an annual physical I decided to get some blood work done, including some STD tests. With insurance I had to pay close to $200.

We really shoot ourselves in the foot in the US by (among other things) not having easier access to testing of all sorts.
Seems rather short sighted in my opinion given that the current scientific consensus is that Covid will become a seasonal thing as it mutates which means that booster shots will probably be needed. Given that amount of R&D funds that the two companies have put in I would imagine they would be reluctant to join in efforts to produce a vaccination for future variations.

Absolutely, it's been kind of incredible progress. But it's still going to be a bottleneck more often than JS execution (in my experience at least).

Not always; I have definitely run into applications where parsing large amounts of data in code is a bottleneck, especially when building large charts. But often.

Wow I checked that out and it's pretty close indeed. The Quake game is pretty nausea inducing but I think that's a side effect of the extreme FOVs (180+ degrees).
...what do you use this for?
Relax friend, I did read your comment before replying and I was agreeing with you that it's ironic. I guess I did misunderstand your statement about precise meaning, but what exactly makes you think I was trying to insult you? I wasn't, and I apologize for giving that impression.
Except it's not the government, or any politicians for that matter. It is the decision of medical professionals, basically the danish version of FDA decided to stop using Astra Zeneca vaccine. They have that level of power here in Denmark.
Just say no: negativity is secret of political tweet success, study finds

In both the comments and in other discussions, I've seen a lot of trolley problem analogies. This is a spectacularly bad analogy.

In the trolley problem, the people on the tracks have no choice! With regards to vaccines, we can give people a choice. A competent government would respect people's agency. It would say "Hey folks, the virus kills 1/N and the vaccine kills 1/M, take your pick."

When people learn the M is several orders of magnitude greater than N, they will act accordingly.
Diagnosis of syphilis is pretty straightforward, given a reasonable-sized blood sample - there are several simple tests (which tend to have quite high false-positive rates, which is good for a screening test) and then you can do something more complex and specific like imuno-fluorescence.

Speaking as an ex microbiologist.
No it doesn't. The write is not durable in other datacenters when the client acknowledgement is returned. It is still possible to lose data.
I figure you never used a Mac. They're not great but way better than Windows. For starters, I don't have to turn off 30 checkboxes to turn off telemetry, I don't have things like candy crush preinstalled, I don't get a browser shoved into my face after every update and I have control over when the system reboots to update. And this is just off the top of my head. Worst of all this applies to the "professional" edition of the OS I paid for. Windows is utter garbage right now.
> “This is a safe and effective vaccine”

Since academics traffic in reputation, this is an example of a conflict of interest I think.
Looking at exported vaccine doses is a blunt measure

The lipids used in Pfizer's come from UK, Moderna exported vaccines from EU are actually brewed in Switzerland and finished in Spain for export

Just to chip in a comment about the size of Usenet...

I did some analysis comparing Slashdot (with distributed moderation) traffic volumes to Usenet (centralized moderation) in the late 90s.

If I recall, the peak volume of posts to the largest (moderated?) Usenet newsgroup was about 3000 posts/day. I seem to recall it was alt.fan.rushlimbaugh or something. I don't know about the quality of moderation but I took that to be the "peak traffic a single/paired human moderator" could handle before we had databases and distributed user-moderated content.

Not sure what dang et all are handling here but it seems higher than that nowdays (but not more than 10x higher with all the newer technology they've developed?)
I interpreted that differently: no moralism but harsh objectivity.

Granted, it's not the most empathetic response, but the gay scene has some very unhealthy subcultures. Drug-fueled disinhibition isn't healthy, and this syphilis outbreak goes to show it.
I'm very curious about the impact of PrEP. On one hand, condomless sex has absolutely exploded in the gay community since PrEP, and honestly, why not? As the saying goes, "Who wants to chew gum with the wrapper on?" But PrEP also requires frequent and regular STD testing, so these cases of syphilis should be caught and treated early before they have much of a chance to spread.

Say those 10k are elite supercomputers, Newtons and Einsteins, and the rest of us average out as five year old smart phones. If those smart phones are still effective computers, then there is negative utility to deleting them. We want both.

But we want a high enough average so that the supercomputers can still reach most of their potential, and the average is not crushed by the desperate. I think that means that six orders of magnitude more of lesser computers can still contribute massively to the calculation, compared to the 10k elite. It still implies a very large population, just not a barely functioning one.
Looks interesting. Does it cover specific libraries for python or js?

You're making it sound as if this is about a single person clicking a single link and skimming until they find the necessary context (say, 15 seconds) to judge whether they want to continue reading, versus debating a topic in a subthread (minutes). Obviously, the actual point is that everyone needs to click many links whenever they visit HN and is continously sinking that time for as many useless titles as are being posted or as they can be bothered to click through on. (If needing to click to find out what it's about is fine, we should browse HN with only the stories' rank and no title at all.) We could instead choose to not religiously stick to applying a guideline on using the original title. After all, I would also like:

> HN [to not be] like Stackoverflow with its persnickety rules.

It seems that this statement by Stallman is what upsets him the most:

"Sexual assault: this term is so broad that using it is misleading. The term includes rape, groping, sexual harassment, and other acts.

These acts are not merely different in degree. They are different in kind. Rape is a grave crime. Being groped is unpleasant but not as grave as robbery. Sexual harassment is a not an action at all, but rather a pattern of actions that constitutes economic unfairness. How can it make sense to group these behaviors things together?

It never makes sense. News articles, studies, and laws should avoid that term."

That doesn't seem very controversial or upsetting, and even when he does say things I think are upsetting, how is that related to him promoting free software? As long as he obeys the laws I don't care if he would actually like to change them.

The greater questions is: Why exactly do we need everyone to agree with our own morals? Isn't that the exact opposite of democracy?

Especially in the US, which is a melting pot of people from various cultures, isn't the whole point that people should be able to have whatever morals they want, but everyone needs to obey the laws, and then every few years people vote on what the rules should be?

I use Rubymine daily and really enjoy using it, but I can't help but feel like the editor layer is the wrong place for this sort of thing to live. When writing code, I constantly switch between my IDE, my browser to test the code, my browser to search for documentation or StackOverflow answers, etc.

I'm a lot more excited about low latency and high-resolution desktop-layer sharing like screen.so and having a great purpose-built editor than I am about having this built into my editor and be another potential source for bugs or slowness.
I'm of the complete opposite opinion. I look forward to the day when our machine overlords make all decisions. Humans are assholes with their own nefarious agendas. Machines are not. Of course if the day comes where machines ask for bribes then I'll change my opinion ;)
Does anyone know how many doses of other, presumably safer, vaccines Danemark has?

Perhaps they have the luxury to choose which jab to use, in which case it seems logical to prefer the safer one. TFA mentions that the decision would delay vaccine rollout by 4 weeks.

What is the impact of that delay?
They put me on blood thinners right away to prevent future clots and prevent the clots from getting bigger. I’ll be on them for at least a few months.

They then put me on pain meds and supplemental oxygen for a few days and watched me. The pain went away after a few days (I assume when the inflammation went down).

They didn’t actually treat the clots themselves. The body apparently does that itself over the course of a few weeks and months. There are invasive surgical ways to try to break them up but they felt I wasn’t bad enough to risk it since I could sit up and breathe on my own.

They checked my heart for tissue damage and thankfully didn’t find any. So now they’re doing a slew of tests to find the cause (genetics? Cancer? So far tests show cancer is unlikely).

Recovery has been good to be honest. I’m not really in pain. I do get out of breathe very easily but they say that’s normal and should go away in a few weeks as the clots dissipate. The lung damage should heal, I think.

The real danger from more clots to the brain or damaging the heart are prevented by the blood thinners, which are apparently highly effective. So I think I got lucky and I’m glad I went to the ER when I did.
I suffer something similar in Brazil, I've of the most famous words like this is paint, most people here day it like pint
I think if you’re taking highly addictive stimulants and doing things you later acknowledge as unsafe like unprotected sex I would speculate something is going wrong in your life that’s compelling you to participate in self destructive activities and that you should get help for the root causes of it.
That could be great, because it could also enable "someone you've been with reported sick, get tested" which would remove a lot of awkward interactions / barriers for reporting. Then again... do we really want dating apps with more or less full network and history of STIs of its users?
No that is you relabeling things you don't like. Just because publishers call unauthorized reproduction and distribution piracy doesn't mean you can just start referring to added arbitrary subfees to bills child molestation.
"fined almost $100,000 for sharing a Facebook link ruled as defamation against the prime minister." is the dangerous precedent
I disagree that blasphemy was to serve the greater good. This implies that extreme actions carried out in the name of theology are made in good faith [sic], without ulterior motives outside theology.

Excommunication was a perfectly good threat if the aim was genuinely to safeguard souls. The ulterior motive behind the escalated punishment and law, was the potential risk of allowing people to live their lives outside the church, or as part of another religion - an existential threat to the dominance of the Catholic church as an institution.

A common trick in government is to identify the preferred solution first, and then reverse engineer a set of requirements only met by that one single solution.

I presume the real unstated requirement boils down to "Moxie is associated with the cryptocurrency." Not disclosed is whether he or Signal have financial interests in its adoption (they have said they don't "hold" any of these pre-mined coins, but that's all they'll say).
Losing sense of taste can also be a early sign of depression.

I had that (long before covid) sign and it gradually improved as I fixed up my life.

Wishing the best to your friend but I would give him hope.

I have a friend who got recently diagnosed chronic fatigue syndrome and I doubt that's attributable to covid.

I'm very skeptical of long covid claims, I think those are most likely just side effects of the social experiment we just run, socially isolating the entire population and stressing them out for a year.
I seriously doubt the willingness of upper class suburbanites to put up with gasoline and rubber rationing in the event of a war. Home front mobilization in the US has become anathema.
Ironically, it would have played into Abbott's plans to lure CA businesses to Texas if he had built working transit in our major cities. Instead he's got Rick Perry's failed energy grid and the economics of hard-right politics to inspire defections.

In what world are owners "stuck" with property? The bought an asset, the can sell an asset. Yes, they may need to absorb some losses, but probably not more then then several thousand it will cost a renter to move if the landlord does any number of things in addition to the risks you outlined above.

Yes, landlords have risk. My original point was that renters shoulder the same and more risk.
I've got a feeling this post will be downvoted into oblivion but before that happens I just want to strongly agree.
Surely you must have observed a few bad decisions made by these professionals over the last year? Enough, perhaps, to doubt that they are actually selected for competence, to doubt that their goals align with those of society?
Reading that it's pretty obvious they're preventing modules to try to kill of XPEnology. Sometimes Synology baffles me, the users that are part of the XPEnology project were never going to be paying customers anyway, and they seem to go to extraordinary efforts to try to stop them.

The "this is for security reasons" is just silly, none of the exploits they've been hit by to date that I'm aware of utilize or require inserting a kernel module into the system. And if they have the infrastructure to sign modules to allow insertion, they could extend you whatever signing they utilize.

It's not like a nation state actor couldn't hack Syno corporate and get access to signing keys if they were after a targeted attack...
