Part of it is that many Americans loudly distrust the government, and other systems of power. This isn't all that irrational, because these institutions have routinely proven themselves to be untrustworty.

Then there are people who are normally on board with vaccines, who are reluctant for covid because it is brand new. Just like any sysadmin worth their salt doesn't blindly install every update the moment they come out. If I didn't have a compromised immune system I probably would have waited at least another year before getting my shots.

So sure, it's selfish, but its not stupid.

Barracuda security products | Clojure developer | Remote or Hybrid in the US
| Hello - We are a Clojure team, building a cutting edge distributed system using Kafka streams and Elasticsearch for the Barracuda Sentinel and Forensics security products – deploying via Kubernetes, with auto-scaling.

This service processes about 2M+ objects every 15 minutes, with a rolling multi-petabyte volume of data available for multiple products’ usage. These products are expected to grow at least 4X in the next year. We provide API endpoints for accessing or taking action on the data.

Performance monitoring and observability are first class citizens in the design enabling us to measure the impact of changes to the system as it evolves.

We're a remote team with a strong engineering culture; we value autonomy and are empowered to deliver. We’re collaborative across product lines. And we like each other. (Hybrid available if you’re near one of our offices.)

I’m Andrea, the manager for the team. I'm looking for engineers with experience building large-scale distributed systems in the cloud, and hunger for meeting the challenges of such a system. Come join us!

I've found explaining multi-module repos w/ go.mod files in subdirs and how that affects using a pseudo-version vs a real version to be the most challenging part. That could be a good addition.
it seems the only reason people on hn hate sql is that they don't understand sql and/or already buy in another toolset,if you only have a hammer at hand,everything is a nail
"No composability or code reuse" is definitely a valid criticism of SQL. Check out the very first example of my personal project https://docs.racket-lang.org/plisqin/Read_Me_First.html and let me know how you would implement something akin to `(CategoryName p)` and `(TotalSales p)` in SQL. A view does not count, because then you either have one view per derived field and that is very cumbersome to consume, or you have one view with all the derived fields and you will end up paying performance costs for fields that you are not using.

There's plenty of excess capacity at night. The grid is provisioned for peak demand during the day which is dominated by heavy industrial usage that it will take a lot of cars to match at night even a fraction of the heavy industrial stuff the grid sees most working days. Some of the electric utility companies are very hopeful to see more of the "bathtub" filled (the chart of electric usage over an average day looks like it has a sharp "bathtub" at night) because there's efficiencies to gain as that happens (taking generators offline during the bathtub and then bringing them back online in the mornings takes a bunch more effort than just leaving them running).
On my SE 2 tapping almost the entire right half of the screen gets it to wobble.
It is generally local governments that have explicitly granted and enforced those monopolies. The other issue is with them not ending up as purely fee for service, and people that don't choose to consume as much end up paying for some portion of it.
Most Russia talk assumes that we're talking about the Soviet Union.
I agree with this analysis, pretty spot on. Working there at the time there was still potential with the right leadership to turn it around. Unfortunately that never happened, instead we got Carol Bartz to destroy any remaining morale at the company.
I'm surprise to hear that it was so slow on a powerful machine. In my experience throwing more compute at a codebase can make compile times very, very fast, though of course only after the first run. It parallelizes pretty damn well.
Whether it’s a net loss or barely profitable, it still doesn’t move the needle as far as Google’s income.

More announcements should start like this one does:

"We are excited to announce that the beta release of HashiCorp Nomad 1.1 is now available. Nomad is a simple and flexible orchestrator used to deploy and manage containers and non-containerized applications across on-premises and cloud environments. "

I know I've heard of Nomad but couldn't remember what it does. This explained it perfect! I often see an announcement show up here on HN or on Twitter or my RSS Feed and there's not any mention of what the thing is/does other than what's new.

For point 3, that's true of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, but not the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.

Also, what about this reason? "I don't think the vaccine is effective, since we still have to wear masks and socially distance after getting it, so I'm not going to take the risk that it might be unsafe."

Technologies: Very junior in testing, but fast learner and hard worker

Hi! My name is Ola.

I used to be a teacher but recently moved to another town where the only job opportunities are remote jobs.

I always felt technology is something I wanted to do but I always felt scared to try. I thought it's the right time since I moved and am forced to change my life.

I have tech mentor, my older brother, who is training me (also remotely). I thought I'll check if this community is looking for a junior tester - if you do I'll be grateful to hear from you. I do understand I'm entering the field so I am open for unpaid remote internships too - you'll get more from this than the amount of time you'll put to introduce me to tasks.

I'm junior but hungry for change. I post my email address in my profile description. Thank you!
Is it pedantic to point out that Ada++ is inconsistent with the objective of the site:

> The Programming Languages Zoo is a collection of miniature programming languages which demonstrates various concepts and techniques used in programming language design and implementation. It is a good starting point for those who would like to implement their own programming language, or just learn how it is done. [emphasis added]

And I know you've posted about Ada++ a few times (I thought I recognized your name, you were the submitter the day after April Fool's Day), but Ada++ is still not a real language. At best it's a cosmetic (and poorly done) transformation of Ada itself. I mean, this is a code sample from the site:

case Variable:
when 0 => Put_Line ("Zero");
when 1 .. 9 => Put_Line ("Positive Digit");
when 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 =>
Put_Line ("Even Number between 10 and 18");
when others => Put_Line ("Something else");
}

Note the weird mismatch of the : as the starting delimiter for the block and } for the closing delimiter. Because literally `is` becomes `:` and `end` becomes `}`, and `begin` becomes `{`. Since `case` statements in Ada don't use `begin` but do use `is` you end up with this gross translation.
Is life simply a movie to be enjoyed, or is there value in contemplating the ephemeral nature of our existence, and investigating the nature of death?
The last time this was so much as mentioned in a comment on HN was 2 years ago (last story was 4). Seems like it isn't widely discussed but it has been ongoing for decades (Gerasimov's doctrine is from a Jan 2013 speech but it is Soviet and KGB tactics through and through).

That is true, I picked a bad example, although Walmart Marketplace is a very high touch service which is expressly targeting sellers that they don't want to cover themselves.
Of course Boeing will say it’s key. Can I just quote back from the same article?

> Boeing delegated to Mitsubishi of Japan a big slice of the design work.

How can that “100%” be true… these are all just empty words.

> If 10 or 15 years from now the world’s leading authority on this kind of structure is in Japan, then you can’t reallocate your resources to do that work,” Sorscher said. “You are dependent on them.”

This is part of the point the original article makes. Nothing here disproves it. The fact that Boeing succeeded (despite several production issues) doesn’t mean they won’t fall victim to the innovation issues that will result from offshoring engineering knowledge.
I usually wait to install a software update patch in a production environment until first movers have reported no bugs, so why can't that apply to vaccines as well ?
Aliexpress is Ebay, not amazon. That being said, both feature a decent return policy, shitty and invariably wrong item description, no ability to properly filter goods and fake reviewes.

I think this is society's greatest threat... We are unwilling to take risks to solve problems.
I mean... Yes? That's how it goes with experimental drugs. Let's say it's March 2020. They've whipped up the first batch of mRNA which will hopefully induce spike protein production. Never before tried in humans. But it didn't kill the rats! How eager would you be to take that shot?

Like don't get me wrong. We should have begun human experiments with some brave volunteers far sooner and with more recklessness, given the stakes. But no one really wants to be the first dozen, or thousand, or in the first long-term study on side effects.
yahoo finance still has a nice niche too.
> A single meeting can blow a whole afternoon by breaking it into two pieces, each too small to do anything hard in

I can relate to this so much. My IC job (which I'm quitting, thank goodness) has had an average of two meetings per day for most of the last 12 months. I'm often frustrated by the lack of free afternoons to get into flow state and get things done.
France here, I’m just waiting for the end of the state of emergency + two months. I’ll vaccinate when the press is free to discuss the problems (and does it).

I estimate we can’t know the truth about vaccines as long as the press is mandated by law to say what the president mandates them to say, and there is no reason to trust a president who holds his “conseil des ministres” in a bunker (“conseil de défense sanitaire”, jail time for anyone who discloses the contents - seriously why do they have to hide).

It’s not like they didn’t lie to us during Chernobyl or by saying “masks are medically useless, according to le conseil sanitaire” (words of President Macron in April 2020 - our current president) so they have 0% track record of being good custodians of truth. Research is supposed to be dirty with plenty of disagreeing voices. As long as we see scientists agreeing in the press: It’s not science, it’s staged.

During the period of blood transfusions with AIDS, we actively contaminated hundreds of thousands here in France, fully knowing what we were doing, and masquerading all of it in the press. I’m pro-vax in the end, but concerning rushed vaccines with no freedom of press to disclose scandals: I’ll just wait it off, thanks.
VLC has pretty good startup time. VScode plugins (generally) dont take down the whole program or BSOD any more. I do feel that its not as snappy, which is sometimes physically unpleasant, but it is possible that we now wait less because we're not rebooting or ctrl+alt+del'ing our way out of some nullptr deref
It's fun to point out to laypeople how insecure the mechanical locks are, and how easy they are to pick. But it's less often mentioned that this is a desirable feature; imagine bulletproof locks - what would the recommendation be to people who get locked out? What would the economic damage be across the board?
It is important to consider vaccine hesitancy in marginalized communities. A reaction to this by an outsider, may include questions like, "But these are some of the people who are most affected by not vaccination." Which can be true, doesn't address their concerns. As always, this is a generalized statement. Marginalized communities are not monoliths. Statements about groups don't always speak for everyone in that group.

> Some communities of color, including Black communities, display higher levels of COVID vaccine hesitancy than the general population, due in part to an egregious history of medical maltreatment—from the Tuskegee experiments to forced sterilization, to the nonconsensual and uncompensated use of stem cells.[1]

I don't think it was "institution skeptics" who made COVID a political issue. How many months did it take before academics were claiming that anti-lockdown protests were dangerous and must not happen but BLM protests were to be encouraged, because "systemic racism" is a public health issue? Not many. How many other academics condemned this blatant politicization of science? Not enough.

Lockdowns don't work: US states that locked down hard have not seen different results from those that had far fewer restrictions. Sweden has been less impacted than the UK and many other European countries that locked down hard. Have academic institutions ever acknowledged that, or accepted that their predictions were wrong? They do not. The ones I've seen just claim anyone who disagrees with them is an ideologically motivated anti-science conspiracy theorist.

These things are not the right way to re-assure people institutions are on top of things. They clearly are not.
> This logic seems to be flawed on the face of it.

It is really not. If your reaction to finding out about clubhouse, is to breakdown crying, about the new voice chat app that you have found, then you almost certainly have mental issues that you should try to resolve.

> by having conversations and meeting people

Thats great. But if your reaction to this, is to talk about this like it is a new religion that you have joined, then you almost certainly have legitimate issues in your life, that you should seek professional help for.

Its a voice chat app. That is fine to like it. But having a coming to jesus moment, means that you are almost certainly mentally ill, and need help.

> just by the numbers

Yes, I am sure that just by the numbers, that there have been multiple people who will talk about the new voice chat app, like it is the greatest thing to ever come into their life, and they will break down crying while talking about it, as if it their new cult/religion that they have joined.

But that is the problem. Those people need professional help.
i don't think instability (aka crisis) is a fundamental feature of capitalism, but rather, of complex (human) systems in general. early writers on capitalism like adam smith and marx had identified the likeliest first-order instabilities pretty clearly, and provided reasonable safeguards against them. but these were not popular with wealthholders/powerseekers, so were weakly instantiated to begin with and weakened over time so that we now have a corporate fascist form of capitalism taking hold in countries like the US.

for capitalism to work, we need to put all of our regulatory energies into creating fair and transparent markets incentivized toward productive activity and against rent-seeking (these are among the most important of those first-order instability guards for capitalism).
It is difficult to weigh actions that greatly harm one person against tiny annoyances to millions, but you could argue that the tiny annoyances to millions is a larger offense than violently robbing a single person on the street.

I mean...kind of like the excuses we need masks ad infinitum, regardless of vaccine status? Both points are valid IMO
I really doubt it. Got any link to back it up? And if correct then it is simply irrelevant as that country's been gone since some 30 years back.
I'm always surprised just how difficult it is to have Go code in a monorepo given Google's famous use of one. I guess they just don't use modules internally?
At face value, you argument amounts to "brutally exploiting workers produces better results".

For a truly private server, you'll need two needles of that mountainous haystack: set GOPRIVATE and tell git to use ssh first:

You should take into account the meaning of “thriller”.
A typical frontend needs a heavy layer to connect properly with a gql endpoint. You also need somewhat black box type frameworks on the backend. You can make a REST http server just by understanding basic routes.

GQL is very black boxy when you think about the layers involved to expose it.

You can't square access to "aggregate sales data" of inventories that are not yours with having a policy not to use third-party sellers info for personal/internal sales gains. In this case Amazon went from being a decent host and service provider to a malicious, unfair competitor.

Either they divest themselves from being an active participant in their marketplace, or they put out their eyes and sequester Third-Party sales and transaction records into a bin to never get looked at except for reports to third-party sellers themselves. That's about the only way I can see for Amazon to ethically move forward.
You cut it
I strongly suspect that the U.S. will largely return to some version of 'normal' by the end of the summer at the latest. No required masks, minimal social distancing, and a return to pre-pandemic levels of domestic travel. Under this scenario, it seems that either enough people in a region will be vaccinated to reach local herd immunity or the virus (unstopped by masks/lockdowns/distancing) will quickly infect the remaining unvaccinated population. Either way, wouldn't herd-immunity eventually be attained?

In other words, the vaccine is so effective at preventing serious illness in those that have it, I don't see public policy being put in place to save those unwilling to be vaccined once everyone has had a chance. It seems that will eventually achieve some level of herd-immunity through a combination of infection and vaccination.
> that still doesn't require me to stay away from them. if there is an opinion so bad that it actually is intolerable, (which the kkk obviously represents) then it is on us to do something about it. none of that affects whether i ought to socialize with these people or not. it only affects why. if my goal is to change them then i should be allowed to do that.

That's up to you then. Shunning occurs on various levels.

If you want to talk to someone in the KKK to discuss the merits of their opinions, be my guest. If you want to employ KKK members, I'm leaving your team. If I'm your manager, I might even fire you for making such a boneheaded decision.

Giving everyone legitimacy is a childish idea easily abused by bad faith actors.
