Section 6 doesn't say any of that. (b) talks about an exhaustive review, but it just says it would be bad for the climate and economy.

The text is the same in the Federal Register. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/01/25/2021-01...
Note this is to inform public health / prioritization in the short term. (Which is less necessary places like the US where there is excess vaccine supply).

We know that past infection greatly reduces risk (and this helps quantify it). At the same time, vaccination is thought to cause a much broader and more durable immune response than natural infection. We'd like people who were previously infected to get vaccinated eventually for these benefits, but they're not who you'd want to vaccinate first.
Based on US Census data, it actually looks like we're building about the same as we had in the past, if not more: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/housing-starts

These are building starts (i.e. permits obtained, but construction not having broken ground yet), but the more complete US Census data at the .gov website shows that completions haven't been far behind starts within the last five years.
I love your work!

Any chance you could convince Microsoft to add Let's Encrypt as an "integrated" CA in Azure Key Vault? It's absolutely bonkers how much money I have to pay to get a certificate in 2021 for cloud services! E.g.: the App Service certificates are $70/year each or $300/year for a wildcard certificate. That's nuts. Reference: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/app-servic...

I strongly suspect the reason Let's Encrypt isn't adopted more widely in cloud services is because there's no margin on a free service. This is why Microsoft, AWS, and GCP all carefully pretend that there are no free options, and make sure that it's a difficult uphill battle to use Let's Encrypt.

E.g.: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/certificate...

Notice how the document title is literally "Integrating Key Vault with DigiCert certificate authority". Not "Certificate Authority", it's the "DigiCert certificate authority". Apparently, HTTPS is now DigiCert's protocol, they're the gatekeepers, and you have to pay them money to use it.

It boils my blood that 1KB files of random numbers still cost money, and the trolls under the bridge are still taxing everyone for what is now essentially mandatory for all web sites.

If anyone here has a significant account with Azure, please apply some pressure to your Microsoft account manager next time you have coffee with them. This rent seeking for what should be free for everyone has to stop.

1. The level of profentiency in foreign language of people working for the European institutions is orders of magnitude higher than readers of HN. Not too mention translators.

2. I totally support a Europe where people speak foreign languages beyond English.

No doubt this is true, but it sure would be nice if we could instead tax the oil and raise revenue for the public good, rather than deliver profits to private railroad companies.
I'm quite disillusioned about the future of the Union because of ridiculous stunts like this.

Using English exposes people to a certain way of thinking that is more linked to a set of cultures or traditions. It's an undeniable fact, both semantics and linguistics teach us that.

But if the aim is to help politicians think from a different perspective, French is a bad choice. If that was the purpose, a reasonable choice would be to opt for languages related to cultures of more practical rationality.. German or Scandinavian languages

Of course it's the French politicians who have the nerve to try impose their language. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that French culture is one of the most pedantic and nationalistic in Europe, to the detriment of the other members.

> vaccination is thought to cause a much broader and more durable immune response than natural infection

Why? Is there any data to support this assertion?

If anything, being ill (symptomatic) means the viral load was high in the body, so the immune system response should be as well, and in addition, infection should cause the immune system to produce antibodies to all parts of the virus, not just the spike protein, as with mRNA vaccines.
There is no need to indulge them: you just tell them you are not going to sort the M&M's. If you do that in advance: great. If you ignore other points and tell them in advance also great. If you ignore requests and don't communicate that fact you are in trouble. Like the 15 amp sockets which can deliver 19amps in a comment above. That's a fire hazard. If you don't start a discussion that it is a fire hazard and you will only deliver 15amps or you will use a different higher rated socket you failed the test and your work is suspect.

I found myself in a very accepting friend group of people that didn’t use drugs and (for my situation this was key) didn’t know where to get them.

Aside from that, there was no shaming and very little drama. Essentially, my previous situation was that I was surrounded by extremely abusive family and dangerously messed up friends. I more or less made friends with “normal” people, got away from a really bad situation and it all just sort of… worked out.

There’s absolutely no secret sauce or trick in my getting clean. I can’t count the number of my old friends that tried stuff like I did and it didn’t work out.

It was literally just luck.
I am no expert either, but I would expect it will take at least ten years to commercialize any new battery technology.

Investments made today into li-ion production would expect to have a return on investment in under ten years, so it makes sense to make such an investment.

Edit: If it were to take less time to commercialize the new chemistry, it would be because it can piggyback off existing techniques. If that were the case, converting existing infra to the new battery chemistry would be possible. So the current investment would likely not be wasted.

Not that I have any knowledge on this subject, but why would a vaccine that stimulates the creation of a bit of spike protein create a "much broader and more durable immune response" than the actual virus which I presume creates a hell of a lot more of that exact same spike protein? Genuinely curious, because my simpleton assumption would be the opposite.
Thanks. Just seems like flamebait with nothing to actually add...

> What do you even mean when you say "on fundamental level"?

Fundamental properties of bitcoin are its decentralization and security achieved via and expressed in, very transparently and using very simple formula, in terms of energy expenditure, tying it unambiguously to the real world physics.

No other project has such properties or comes close to the level to which those properties are achieved in bitcoin.

> All of this can be said about btc too.

Nope.

> Btc has really bad performance and decentralization and independence (from what?) can be questioned.

Only if you don’t understand what performance of a cryptocurrency is, or what decentralization of cryptocurrency means. And independence is from marketing campaigns, politics and other shenanigans that crypto world is full of.
I think that economies are stubborn beasts, if they can avoid change they will. I don't think it's reasonable to expect any sort of energy transition to occur gracefully while oil is in supply. As the price goes up we'll see some industries priced out and over time we'll see early adopters convert but we're not going to see a smooth transition for the populace at large.

^ So accurate!

Los Angeles is suffering from this. Towers and towers of expensive apartments left empty at 4000+/mo meanwhile the homeless population grows and the population on the border of homelessness grows.

Traffic increases as people move out of the city center and need to commute in and then those people are taxed through congestion charges or tolls and provided with no, or tremendously expensive, parking.

The whole effort seems to conspire against exactly what made the city a city. Dense, mixed zoned, mixed class living
That’s like saying my landlord has a monopoly on collecting rent from every apartment in the building they own. Well duh! They built the damn thing from scratch. To make it about how Apple is somehow being abusive by setting the rules of the road and collecting tolls on their own property is asinine.
I feel like I've seen this article a few times, and it's neat I guess? As a developer though, none of these UI designs catch my eye. They look generic (if bordering on cheesy) and they don't actually document any of the interesting parts of the process here either.

It's simply ridiculous that there's going to be oil brought in on trucks which will be significantly less efficient than a pipeline.

The only sensible thing would be to have a pipeline, with zero trucks doing that work in its place, plus a carbon tax on top of that oil to adjust the price.

The carbon tax could be applied uniquely to oil brought on the pipeline so as to equalize the cost of that oil with that which will instead be brought over on trucks.

Which means no misaligned incentives to increase oil consumption but also no inefficiency from trucks doing the work in its place. That tax revenue is effectively new wealth since it represents the saved inefficiency of the alternative of having no pipeline.
There is lots of ag zoned land around me. nobody wants it rezoned to residential as that means more people and most people don't want more people around. People always buy the ag lots cause they are cheap and have low taxes if you have ag activity, and then want to build more housing on them than the zoning allows, because that is lucrative.

just use a septic field instead of the sewer hookup if the county won't play ball. then they can't increase your sewer rates every year.
what is "level 5+"?
Beaucoup is 'boku', not 'buku'. And having groups of letters be pronounced as a single sound is not the opposite of being phonetical, as long as the groups are used consistently (e.g. -eau- is always pronounced 'o', -ou- is always pronounced 'u', final consonants are never pronounced etc.) .

Granted, the sibling comment lists quite a few exceptions to these rules, but it is still quite a regular language.

The system of silent consonants is quite useful in keeping the language have somewhat regular declensions/conjugations. If they were not preserved, it would seem that French conjugations are mad, inventing consonants out of thin air. For example, coup/coupee, meaning to cut/ cut (up), are pronounced ku/kupe. This would make it seem like the participle is adding -pe to the infinitive (and it would add -te or -ze or many others), when in fact the participle is almost always adding -e, which forces the consonant in the root to be pronounced, since French really hates hiatuses.

If anything, French phonetics are the real problem, aggressively dropping consonants of the end of words, but loathing hiatuses, sometimes even between words in literary contexts (where sometimes a 't' or 'z' sound is added between a word ending in a vowel and the next word beginning with a vowel, 'la liaison').

This is good reasoning but I don't think it's possible to legislate service level objectives like that.

> But another way to address it is to ensure it's easy for new companies to disrupt the incumbents if they are acting poorly.

I agree but realistically there will be many cases when a company is far better at something than anyone else. I think the only way to avoid global infra single points of failure is competitive bidding and multi-source contracts, plus competitive pressure to force robustness (which already works quite well).
Of course, those regulations to support dense housing need to be supported by other things; like money for streets, sewer, water, etc. If the town's streets are already crowded with traffic and it's sewer system can barely keep up, then building dense housing it going to destroy the town. And for a town that is already "in place", adding a bigger sewer system is hard. Widening streets is even more difficult because you'd need to buy up the land that the current builds are on. It's not as simple a solution as "build dense housing" makes it sound.

This has never been true for consumers. The only “demand” it impacts are companies, who then move their jobs to China where they can use coal powered plants.

There is no world where this artificial increase in prices is good.

Green energy is improving, nuclear is improving. It’s improving because it has to compete with alternatives, like oil. Green energy is not cheap or widespread enough today for consumers or industry. So it’s only the people of the country that lose.
> ... that same difference in the Fed Funds rate.

The differential between mortgage rates and the federal funds rate is only driven in part by regulation. The rest is market forces and the perceived risk of rising inflation. If we had certainty on how inflation would change for the next 30 years, mortgage rates could be pushed to a negligible margin above the federal funds rate.

> If you want the government to control every decision regarding money in the future, you want the interest rate to be as low as possible. If you want people to use free markets to decide where money flows, you want high interest rates.

You haven't explained this assertion. I see it a different way. If we want consumer demand to decide how capital is invested, then we want more inflation. Inflation transfers wealth from creditors to debtors. Debtors spend their money, which indicates what's useful to produce. If we want a handful of bankers to make guesses (and often guess incorrectly) about what people will want to buy, then we want low inflation, transferring wealth from debtors to creditors.

The problem with (excessively) low inflation and supply-side economics in general is that the suppliers must make their choices with a decreasing level of information on what will be demanded. It's only through consumer demand and its pressure on supply that reveals what's important through market forces. Otherwise we may as well go back to central planning.

Note that I'm not advocating for fluctuating inflation. All parties benefit from stable inflation rates. Uncertainty is dead weight loss.

If the request is for longer than 6 months, then I don't get the argument.

How is this multiculturalism? I and many other people that rely on English as a language to communicate across nations feel left out. Looking at the comments, there seems to be a distorted impression that EU=France (or any major Western country) and on top of that, the rest of the countries should be grateful for being given a chance to be put in uncomfortable situations that require a costly readaptation, aka, be glad your language skill is now obsolete because we decided so.

It's ignorance towards the rest of EU member states. I don't even have a problem with French per say, I speak French and understand the urge to speak your own language. Just the approach of assuming that one of the member states knows best is mind-boggling to me and disrespectful. Looking forward to see the upcoming countries, each getting cocky about forcing their language. That's going to take us nowhere... So much for democracy.
