So instead of wanting to look into a possible major issue with the safety of the Covid vaccines, you'd rather insult the data without providing any substantiating source, then put your hands over your ears and say "LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOUUUUU LA LA LA LA"
This is a summary of the more detailed findings in their paper, which I found easy to read and has some intriguing suggestions for fixing privacy issues with the original proposal: https://mozilla.github.io/ppa-docs/floc_report.pdf

It would be a lot of work, e.g. just the plumbing for residential (kitchens and bathrooms in every unit) would be very different from plumbing for offices (a few central toilet rooms).

Electric, HVAC would be similar.

However, still could be possible in some buildings and ultimately be worth doing. For other properties it might be cheaper to raze and rebuild rather than try to fit residential space into a commercial-plan building.

Completely agree with other posts that the risk of loss should be squarely on the owners/investors. Property is an investment like anything else, and may lose value. And I'd guess commercial property is riskier than residential.
My mother-in-law died 9 days ago, after being on life-support for 2 weeks. All following a sudden onset cardiac arrest 3 hours after getting her second Pfizer shot. She had a fever from the shot, was sitting in the living room watching a movie with family, and her heart suddenly stopped. She was healthy and in her early 60's. The medical team, after a week, concluded it was likely vaccine induced, and reported it to VAERS.

A neighbor of mine, who is 35 year old male, had an almost exactly similar event. Because he was younger, he survived. His medical team also reported to VAERS, and the Mayo clinic is researching it.

The vaccine is generally safe, and you should get it if you aren't immune to COVID. That being said, the effort to prevent vaccine hesitancy has suppressed media reporting on these events, understandably. They are likely more common than we think, but still relatively rare.

MRNA is going to be a revolutionary technology, but we should be honest about the fact that there are going to be some individuals who will experience some extremely nasty side-effects.
My point is not that good management is possible. The article drew conclusions to which my experience is a counterexample.

Good to hear all the opinions. I'm an Elixir newbie and I appreciate them.
True, but I would argue that a novice/mediocre programmer will tread more carefully when using goroutines because the subject itself is often taught as a more complex/high level topic. Meanwhile, inheritance is often taught as a basic concept which can deceive inexperienced programmers into thinking that they completely understand it. That invites more potential missteps.
Anyone who works on large C++ projects will laugh at your "several minutes" comment. You may not realize how bad things are on the other side of the fence
I really wish Hacker News would stop being the place for people to share this kind of feedback. There's a comment section on the article itself.
Realistically, can you ship a website where everything happens client side? - reflow, adjusting layout, computing locations/sizes and whatnot. I am not a web person so my thinking may be outdated on this. I'm imagining something like a stand-alone self-contained "docker" type thing.
I don't see the contradiction between rejecting those mass-market items and wearing second-hand clothes. Everyone has different priorities of where to spend their money.

It could even be a matter of principles. Anything produced at scale, especially clothing, exploits cheap labor. That's something these people may want to avoid. It's also bad for the environment to buy cheaper items that will likely fail quickly, and if old clothes are still usable then why waste resources on new ones?

The holier-than-thou attitude that the other commenter mentioned is still what I believe is the reason for hipster hate. And it's not always unwarranted. If someone becomes a hipster because they want to feel superior, then that certainly does make them annoying.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the article and it could provide some useful insights.
I think Kyle Simpson's You Don't Know JS does a good job about this. But on the other hand, it seems like it's usually safer to keep it simple, treating it more or less as classical and using classes, to make a codebase that others can relate to well.
Yes! Seconding this request. For my purposes, a range from this level of non-technical to some light Googling would be fine, but it seems like so much of streaming hasn't reached levels of approachability for people outside the command line and scripting. Much appreciated!
By the looks of it, you should keep that handy.
What an incredibly concise, elegant implementation.
I'm not aware of the mechanics of how that works. I have a state pension account from a previous job. Does my state pension manager buy an insurance policy? Please explain.
Given everything we know about the virus and the vaccines, that seems like an appropriate label.

As a manager, how would you feel about a hybrid setup with people in the office say two days a week?

Would it recapture a substantial portion of the benefits, or do you think you find that the manager utility of each extra day in the office doesn't diminish much?

This would be very expensive since commercial office buildings and residential units are vastly different in terms of construction, building codes, utilities, and layouts. Sure, you could chop them up into artist studios and lofts, but they would be extremely expensive.
I don't doubt I can be creative and write good code - I'm a good programmer, and I'm working on something that I'm interested in (I'll programming language implementation to keep it short), it's more of a thing where I like the idea of bouncing ideas off people and kind of maintaining a good separation of ideas - both things I'm not very good at when I'm basically alone at the desk.

The point about networking is quite cynical but I'm working in a fairly nepotistic sector (but well-compensated) so a few connections can go a very long way.
I would prefer a car that is almost entirely mechanical because mechanics make way more sense to me than software.

The old crusty mechanic I take my 20+ year old 4Runner to for service complains about this a lot. Cars don’t make nearly as much sense to him as they used to.

Just to be clear, I appreciate improved safety that technology brings to cars, and I know I can’t have it both ways.
given that the frontline practitioners are actively discouraging any patients from making a connection for adverse reactions with the vaccine?

Do you have a source for this? As another poster replied, I was encouraged to report symptoms and given a packet with information on what to look out for, what to report and a website to do so.

Same with my wife and two adult children.
I think with Tesla the only subscription is "premium connectivity", which is basically a cell data plan. The car works fine without it. Even the nav will still use traffic data for routing, it just won't visualize it for you.
I would imagine snorting really fine grounds, similar to how people use tobacco snuff.
What are you basing this off of? Climate models that can't pass back testing with historical data when they are started 5,10,20,30 years ago. Sea level rise the last 150 years has been between 1-3mm a year and rising since the end of the last ice age (24k years). Food production continues to rise, the planet is greener. Extreme weather events are not increasing. The winters in North America have slightly warmed the past 30 years. Less area burned every year. Humans will adapt just fine. I'll source all this later if you really want?

Peter Hubers tome The Bottomless Well considers software as the apex of the energy pyramid. Each level of the pyramid- animal, wood, coal, gas, electricity, nuclear, software- (I may have recollected the order not entirely correct) is more usable and powerful than the one below it.

You can see this pyramid in the evolution of the automobile: mostly petro-mechanical, then a growing fraction electrical, then an increasing fraction software.

I was not fully convinced by the book is that computing is a type of refined energy, but can agree with some of arguments for it. Other computer utilization like mass data centers and crypto currency support computing as the new wave of industrialization.

As an aside: Hubers thesis is the world will never run out of energy because we are constantly improving it, for example with or as software. Furthermore the amount of work per capita has grown with the quality of energy, and shall continue to increase in future.
Like I said, there are examples that predate the industrial revolution, but they were mostly limited to government and public service jobs.

Exactly, they replaced the separate buttons with a knob. Great that that physical controls might be needed, but this approach isn't better than the touchscreen. In some respects, its actually worse.
Prove that you didn't accept the EULA when you drove it off the lot, if the system was never designed to log when the acceptance was made.
Problem: you don't understand it therefore you think RL isn't sufficient.

There is no evidence that the thing you don't understand isn't based on RL too.
Yep. It's not practical. It's often better to bulldoze, rezone, start over, and build high-density vertical housing. It's totally SimCity. :)
> I’ll never willingly go back to the office.

I think there are alternatives to coming together in person than forcing everyone into an office, which if done with enough enthusiasm would be more productive and enjoyable for everyone.

Teams might be better having mandatory lunches once in awhile at a nice restaurant instead having mandatory onsite office time. Better the team’s performance, the better the restaurant.

Think about the money that having an office costs, and then think about how it could be better spent on team based experiences and growth activities.
It's true, there are no tech people driving Teslas or late model luxury cars. As you say, there is universal agreement with you, because your opinion is the objective truth.
Which DSLR no longer has an aperture and shutter speed knob? I know the MFT mirrorless lost most of the controls, but did the latest Canon/Nikon really do this? My DSLR is eons old, so this is just baffling to me.
The entire idea that "x workers don't care about safety" is just dumb.

Yes some individuals care less than they should. But every job has some people who are smart enough to value their own safety. And those people will seriously consider any device the significantly increases safety.
What bothers me the most about FLOC is that there is no reason or advantage for me as a user to run it unless I'm forced to. Cookies, even if they get hijacked for tracking, are genuinely useful to persist state and having them on results in a better experience. Even in the case of something more invasive like DRM/EME, I might want to turn it on in exchange to be able to watch some new show on a streaming service. Turning on FLOC brings nothing to the user in return and feels like charity towards advertisers.
I've been involved in several IT projects and companies in the agricultural industry over the years. Most people that try to solve agricultural problems with tech are surprised to find that there is far less money in agriculture than they expected and farmers are far less willing to part with it on unproven tech.
I don't think that's how prototypes work in JavaScript though. The newly created objects refer to a chain of prototype references, and changes to the underlying prototypes will affect already existing objects.
> If we have to return, I won't quit. That's reckless, imho. But my resume will be updated and I will be open to remote positions. Many of my colleagues feel the same way.

This is what I assumed it would mean. Not that people would spontaneously quit, but that there would be some 30% of the workforce looking to be out the door.
Not to mention the amount of CO2 emissions from the ritual of driving to a place and back every day, then to a lunch and back. That seems to not be mentioned in this dialog.

Early on in the industrial revolution, companies would send work to their workers for home work. Making cloth and whatnot.

I'm guessing this batch of "pro office" articles is just paid adverts / propaganda from members of the commercial real estate industry to shift perspectives.
Like I said, there are examples that predate the Industrial Revolution, but the idea of an average worker having pay stability is pretty new: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salary
So you want a mechanical door lock, manual windows, no car stereo, no power steering, no thermostat, no cruise control, etc...

The problem with that dumb car is that it is missing that very convenient feature. So you want a dumb car but with feature X, because feature X is really great. But the other guy will not care about X and will think it is bloat, but Y is really important, while for someone else, it will be all about Z.

In the end, to satisfy everyone, you will need X+Y+Z, everyone will think it is bloated but you can't remove a single feature without someone complaining... As in, I want things light but don't remove my feature.

Unless it is custom made bloat is almost inevitable.
I feel like in the old days, Mazda would have been the one to introduce a Maverick sized truck, and they likely would have been leading the way with electric.

This form of rhetorical questioning is a pretty common idiom.

That's not an open invitation for elucidation on property laws. It's an assertion in the form of a question.
There is a relatively high rate (fully acknowledged) of high fever from the MRNA vaccines, particularly after the second dose. Compared to standard vaccines of the past, the rate of fever and illness is dramatically higher. But COVID is so dangerous and contagious that the benefit is higher than the cost.

I say this as somebody (if you look at some of my previous comments) who lost my Mother-in-law due to a rare side-effect that is still being researched after her second shot.

> As the chance to catch Covid decreases over time, the risks associated with vaccines become more of a problem.

This is a big assumption. It could also be that it becomes part of the virus background infections we all deal with except that it is high risk if you get it the first time.

When looking that the risk of an non vaccinated individual catching Covid today keep in mind that a lot of people have been vaccinated and the incidence numbers de-facto refer to incidences of the non vaccinated part of the population which would justify a smaller denominator than used (whole population).
I doubt anyone with upperclass wealth will consider moving into a retrofitted office building. The quality of the housing will not be equal to a modern tower. Even running water and waste water will be very problematic. The complete lack of amenities of modern towers built for housing, gym, pool, recreation center, balconies... Depending on location parking could basically be impossible or they have to convert limited office parking into resident parking.

IMO we are more likely to see these become "luxury apartments", which means the expense of luxury minus the actual luxury.
Without vaccines the risk of catching covid is of around 70% at least.
What information would that give?

Too bad they don't track by socioeconomic status.

Too bad they don't track by political opinion.

Too bad they don't track by IQ.

Too bad they don't track by skin color.

The assumption of nature over nurture has been continually used to justify unequal treatment. If you do it to dogs then you'll do it to humans.
I've changed my mind in favour of this explanation. I knew “the internet” had something to do with it, but I thought it was about socialisation; the cultural artefacts explanation neatly explains internet memes, too, so it's probably more right.

Silicon is likely fine as a material. GPU cost per operation is still dropping insanely quickly. A lot of really hard ML problems are just making big things feasible, or sampling big things enough to get decently precise estimates. With 10x the GPU power and memory, a lot of this gets easy. With 100x, some hard things get trivial. At the end of the day, GPUs and TPUs drive AI research more than anything else as models grow massively.
I have a 2015 Crosstrek. It is a great car.

The console is awful. Truly awful. Push the volume button within a few seconds of turning the car on to turn the radio off? Doesn't even register. Even if you give it a minute to warm up, it is half a second of lag on a physical switch. The touch screen has a half second of lag and requires several presses to do something as simple as switch from the radio to bluetooth.
Just converting a very small share of buildings to mixed commercial-residential might be enough to adjust for the reduction in office demand.
Even if you have to tear down and rebuild, rezoning and conversion here seems much more politically achievable than up-zoning existing residential areas. On the one hand, you have to fight current residents who would be displaced, as well as their neighbors who don't like change. On the other hand, you have the ability to make the land valuable still by repurposing it for residential instead of having an empty wasted tower.
Stripe also offers interchange plus pricing, but you’ll have to badger them for it… if you’re selling in Europe it can work out much cheaper, but it depends (eg amex would cost you much more).

Also the exchange rates can be avoided by setting up bank accounts with different currencies (eg transferwise —- now wise). This alone saved us a bundle.
Labs. I just bet.

(I've been bitten twice when riding, both times by labs. They're goofy dogs, but have a mean streak if they don't know you.)
How do you do those things without driving? Are you assuming everyone has access to effective and efficient public transportation?
Kodi and plex were once one in the same codebase. Depending when they added the feature it may work in plex as well.
It's the idea that money/technology can fix a people/process problem. I see it all the time. It takes many forms:

If we could just find the right magic tool then all our problems would be solved!
Step 1 is build automation, step 2 is define the process!
What we need to fix this broken process is more people.
These two teams have different goals/OKRs so they have trouble getting along, let's fix it with technology

Technology and money are great accelerators but if you don't have a process that could be performed manually with enough people then technology is just going to make you do the wrong thing faster.

I'm sure you didn't mean it quite so bluntly, but characterizing the history of aviation safety as a triumph of computer control systems over analog ones misses the mark by a pretty wide margin--even if we're just talking about the advances that only computers have provided. Probably the only way a modern car is technologically less sophisticated than a passenger aircraft is its inability to substantially steer itself (and this problem is orders of magnitude more difficult for cars than planes).

A lot of the systems we take for granted in our cars (ECU, ABS/stability control, adaptive cruise control, steer-by-wire, OBD) were pioneered in the aviation industry, and both industries' safety records have been massively improved by the ability to do digital design/analysis (CAD, FEA, CFD, etc). Then once you start talking about advances in computer-aided manufacturing and QC/QA processes, training, failure analysis, human-machine interaction...

One of my perennial frustrations with current tech is the idea that putting a computer in the control loop necessarily makes things safer.

FWIW: I had covid over a two week period. It was easily the sickest I've ever been. I just got my second shot yesterday and I'd say both shots were like covid-lite. Basically all the same symptoms, just condensed into a 24-48 hour block and at not quite as bad.

The volume of dog owners who can't control their animal is shocking to me.

My neighborhood it is pretty good. A few blocks over is complete chaos. Every house has a dog that seems frantic and freaks out over everything and they're all only held back by an invisible fence.

I don't get it. What do these people get out of a dog that is clearly frantic / stressed like that when any person comes by, or another dog or anything?

If you're not going to invest some serious time / effort to train your dog, please don't get one.
