There is no right thing. I can fight rhetoric with rhetoric, too. Say: "Those who are afraid can stay home, mandating a new vaccine with no long-term track record is pure evil.".

I am saying this because of such statements:

> From a societal standpoint, he said people who skip the vaccine could compromise the safety of others.

> I hear everyone saying deciding to get vaccinated is an individual choice, but the calculus in that choice is twofold — one is to vaccinate yourself and the other is protect others. I think we have a responsibility to protect our communities.

It is absolutely disgusting to appeal to emotions and shame to make me have something injected into me that has not been extensively studied and of what we have literally no clue with regarding to its long-term effects[1] especially given that I have an immunologic autoimmune disorder.

In any case, what happens to those who cannot get the vaccine passport due to not being able to get the vaccine due to health reasons? Nobody seems to talk about this, or at least I am not informed on this.

[1] On top of that, recent evidence seems to be piling up about their serious adverse effects that are coming to light now. I am expecting more to come.

I don't hate Google at all.

I don't like the law that they are alleged to have violated here, but I am glad to see proof that it is possible that action is taken against them if they do violate whatever laws they should operate under.

> If you don't want to download a python script to your machine (why?)

Man, classic HN short-sightedness. Not everyone is comfortable with these tools. Not everyone has a Python interpreter installed by default. Not everyone is in a device/platform that can even run Python.

These bots are just damn more convenient. Assuming you are accessing old.reddit.com in mobile (the One True Way), to download a video you need to:

1. Find the URL. With mobile browser's penchant to autohide UI chrome, there's an additional cognitive load in doing it.

2. Open a new browser tab.

3. Fumble on your mobile keyboard to type the address of your preferred save video service. (Alternatively, you Google search the name, scroll past the first "result" because it's an ad, then click.)

4. Paste the URL from Reddit.

5. Wait and download video.

In contrast with bots:

1. Fumble on your mobile keyboard to type "!SaveVideo" (or whatever command it is).

2. Wait for the notif and download video.

> you don't spam people who is discussing in the same thread

Is that honestly spammy? I rarely see more than one subthread for the bot call, it gets upvoted so people can see it easily, sometimes people do search for it first. The worst I can say is that it quickly devolves into a stream of "good bot" comments but at that point, it's just another conversation to collapse.

WRT presenting information, there are more problems with Reddit's design decisions than these bots.

These days, it's easier to get ahead in the industry if you're female. This is to try to correct past sexisms.

It's probably a good thing in the long run but does explain why a freshly graduated woman is more likely to have an easier path.

(Oddly enough, this also works the same, to some extent, if you simply 'identify' as female, despite not biologically being one. Which seems to me, to negate the above.)

>The discrimination against non-vaxxed people is based on the fact they are non-vaxxed and potential sources of risk.

Poor people can be thought of a being more risky to be around, because they have low standard of living, can't afford prompt health care and so on, so there are chances that they might be carriers of contagious diseases..

So you can argue that being around poor people is riskier than being around rich people. Do you want to discriminate against them based on that?

No, if you don't want to be around poor people, you are free to do that. But you should not be able to mandate that poor people must not show up in community places.

There has been a lot of cyber crime in recent years, e.g. see the recent wave of ransomware attacks. These criminals are mostly amateurs that know some exploits and use them. The NSA is a huge organization that employs many professional experts. Spying is one of their main objectives so you can be pretty certain that they are pretty good at it. Computer systems contain a lot of vulnerabilities and you can be pretty certain that they know a lot of them.

The computers of most people are vulnerable even to normal cyber criminals, the NSA is a lot more powerful.

> "In the UK, most people getting into hospitals now with severe Covid are young and unvaccinated"

The stats I can find are here - https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas...

AFAICT they don't give a lot to work with, thought the 18-54 crowd do now make a large proportion of hospital intake than earlier in the pandemic.

The ONS - https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan...

Report that "The proportion of deaths involving COVID-19 has been highest in those aged 75 years and over throughout the pandemic, however, this proportion has been lower since the start of January 2021. This likely reflects the impact of vaccinations."

And we have the independent reporting that hospitalisations are now mostly among the under-45 and unvaccinated groups, and that as a result there is less pressure on the intensive wards - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/covid-hospital-adm...

So I would say the claim that "most people getting into hospitals now with severe Covid are young and unvaccinated" is probably overstated.

This. Austria has generous parental leave policies but the effect of that is that as a woman in your late twenties or early thirties, you will have a hard time changing jobs in highly skilled positions as the employer will expect you'll get pregnant soon and will need to find a temporary replacement for you which is impossible as no highly skilled worker wants to be on a fixed short term contract for the same pay, so many employers who can't or don't want to eat the cost of redundancy will prioritize hiring males instead and spread your workload while you're on leave to the remaining workers, causing them to be overworked for that period.

That's the hidden cost.

I’m again reminded of “Flow-Based Programming”:

http://www.jpaulmorrison.com/fbp/fbp2.htm
I have a movie in my head about how and why "progress" happens, and what its true nature might be. I imagine someone maybe a thousand years ago, living in primitive conditions, holding the body of their loved one who has passed away for some reason. The person is hurt, sad, furious, indignant at God/nature for allowing this thing to happen. The person promises that no matter how many lifetimes, or how much effort it takes, they'll fix the world to be the way God/nature should have done but was too evil or incompetent to make it.

Well, it turns out that the person's loved one could have been saved. All that was needed was what we consider to be a modern hospital. But a modern hospital has quite a lot of technological dependencies, and so do those things, and so do those things, and so on. But let's say you do it. You got copper wire and steel and internal combustion engines and concrete and microscopes and global communication networks and microprocessors and on and on and on and on and on. Now people don't die of that same thing, whatever it was. Via technological magic, we just look inside the sick person's body, see the nature of the illness, and put in the right chemicals, or perform an amazing non-invasive operation via a robotic snake or whatever. Problem solved via vision and the sustained application of brain power.

But it wasn't free. The global communications network you needed for all kinds of things, it's being used to deliver pornography. Pornography addiction is a thing now, a problem that wasn't even previously possible. The same tech you use to make the chemicals that can save someone's life, they're used to make painkillers. Back in the day, drug addiction was something like drinking too much, or maybe smoking tobacco. Addiction to these painkillers is common now, and many people are dying and/or ruining their lives. The same technologies you needed to facilitate global collaboration have made it possible for the first time for governmental powers to do effective mass surveillance. And so on, and so on, and so on.

The point of the parable is to suggest that back in the day, when we were indignant about the death of our loved one, we didn't realize it, but we were kind of at a fork in the road. We could choose to fix ourselves, and accept the death, and see it as just the result of circumstances, and therefore blameless and perfect, or we could choose to try to fix the world. This choice has very very deep implications. When we try to fix the world, it seems like the result might be that we sort out the original problem at the cost of creating a bunch of new problems that are equally bad, or possibly even much more complicated and difficult to solve.
Nah, the idea is not that it's the leave that sets any single woman's career back, it's that the expectation of the leave being taken by women causes them to not be hired/promoted/... before having children that the OP is concerned with if I understood them correctly. If suddenly all parents were to take leave, regardless of gender, then discriminating young people by gender would no longer make economical sense.

There should definitely also be mandated minimum vacation days in my opinion (where I live, four weeks of paid leave per year are the legal minimum for full-time jobs), but that's quite unrelated to the issue at hand.
> Plus they do not get that new vaccines usually take 10-15 years

This is outdated info, vaccines don't typically take that long any more, and there was a bit of a head-start here due to the work on SARS and MERS.

Which tech are you talking about? And which vaccine? J&J and AZ, for instance, are more 'traditional' and based on adenovirus.
So why the f** Google can screw youtubers with the Disney laws but it should not also apply to Google Search.

If you run the business well, an employee being gone for 6 months is going to be fine - even when you are an amazing employee. You, as a business, should plan on it.

I mean, if doctors offices and hospitals can get through these periods (and do, in countries that give leave to everyone), then so can most other businesses. Temporary employment for educated people exists.

I'm a western European programmer and my experience has been vastly different to yours. Of the 4 companies I've worked at, in 3 of them code reviews were there from the very start and the whole team engaged on them, reviewing and being reviewed, there was no verticality involved whatsoever.

The first one just didn't do reviews because it was a small startup that kept doing small POC for pitches where code quality wasn't a concern, and that one offered the juniors to set up a youtube channel showing the devices we worked with (it was VR related).

As for pay, the article didn't mention salary I think (?)

Except we have a great deal of information on the long term effects of vaccination, from studying many vaccines. It's quite wrong to say we have no idea.
True, but methane has a much stronger greenhouse effects than the resulting CO2 and water vapor. So that's still net-positive.

> doctors claiming there cannot be any unforseen dangers are lying to you

We have to sign a paper that we cannot hold anyone liable for any potential harm that might come from the vaccine (any time in the future). 5.6 million people have signed it and got the vaccine.
From a previous article[1] with some more context:

>In 2019, Google announced it was going to stop displaying "snippets" from French news articles in search results. Google believed that showing only news story headlines, not brief excerpts from articles, would bring it into compliance with the new law.

So even just linking the headlines _without_ the snippets was still not in compliance.

We have 30+ years of the world wide web being built on referred url links (with no snippets) without monetary payment but now French news organizations want compensation for it. I don't understand that logic. They get extra visibility + traffic clicks from Google -- but also want to be paid for it?!?

If after a Apple WWDC event, the front page of HN is filled with url links to Apple press releases and announcements, it doesn't mean HN should pay money to Apple Inc to send eyeballs to "apple.com". Linking to other urls and showing the text between "<title>...</title>" (for free) is how the web works.

IMO, removing the embedded snippets should have been enough. This feels more like a shakedown from French newspapers with backing from the France government rather than fair business compensation.

Right now, on the HN frontpage is this headline "France fines Google €500M over copyright row (reuters.com)" -- with no snippet -- but according to logic of French newspapers, HN still needs to pay Reuters in Canada a license fee.
