> That's just as green

Complete nonsense. Most Hydrogen is produced with natural gas. And the conversion makes and end to end efficiency makes it actually far worse both economically and environmentally.

Maybe in some imaginary future that will not actually happen it is as green.

> refuels 10x faster than any battery based car

Waste overestimation and in reality even if that was true, you are gone spend 100x more times refueling then in an EV. Because EV you simply charge at home and 99% you not gone use any fuel-station.

And Hydrogen charging station still have many problems if you actually attempted to have a high volume of cars using them.

> They chose wrong maybe, but they chose, and chose a path they though most viable.

The path that would give them the most government subsidies and allow them to delay EVs as long as possible.

How would a hiring manager evaluate someone who was knowledgeable enough to work for Google but did not get the vaccine and was not valuable enough for Google to retain by other means?

The hiring managers I know would take it as something being wrong with that candidate, who may not be so knowledgeable outside very specific fields, and has trouble working with others. So, which companies will be glad to differentiate? Are there any whose names are known to most people?

We welcome calls for scientifically rigorous investigations.10, 11 To accomplish this, we encourage WHO and scientific partners across the world to expeditiously move to continue and further extend their initial investigation with experts in China and the Chinese Government. WHO's report from March, 2021,12 must be considered the beginning rather than the end of an inquiry, and we strongly support the G7 leaders' call for “a timely, transparent, expert-led, and science-based WHO-convened phase 2 COVID-19 origins study”.13 We also understand that it might take years of field and laboratory study to assemble and link the data essential to reach rational and objective conclusions, but that is what the global scientific community must strive to do

Until this pandemic ends, we ask, as we did in February, 2020,1 for solidarity and rigorous scientific data.

Not necessarily long-term. I would suggest that short-term effects such as thrombosis of myocarditis, however rare, are also a valid cause for concern.
I just wish they’d make a monitor that doesn’t cost $5000. It’s basically impossible to find a 27”+ monitor that works optimally with a Mac because they’re all 4K, and the way macOS handles scaling means you have to scale by a non-integer factor.

Just give me the 5K iMac panel in a basic shell, that’s all I need.

Someone wants to test:

function do_add(a, b, add) {
return add(b, a);
}

And does something like:

do_add(1, 2, add)
expect(add) to be called with (2, 1)

Then the function is changed to:

function do_add(a, b, add) {
return add(a, b);
}

Oops, broke the test. Is this a type of behavior change that you expect would break the test? Often there are many ways to correctly do something and a good test should allow any of them.

You can say that, but the SF Chronicle is not gonna print it.
The reality is that hydrogen cars are terrible for consumers. Typical price per kg of hydrogen (roughly the same energy as a gallon of gasoline) in California is like $15/kg (although you do get like 50-60 miles of range per kg). There are very few fueling stations, they are specialized (need special permits due to explosive nature of the fuel, like gasoline… plus you need a cryogenic cooler) and expensive (like $1-2million dollars apiece), rely on truck delivered fuel (on-site electrolysis is rare and generally much more expensive), and you’re limited to basically one state in the US. Industrial hydrogen is cheaper, but that’s partly because it’s OVERWHELMINGLY made by steam reforming of fossil fuels.

Hybrids are super easily coopted to just reinforce the status quo fossil fuel centric energy system. They’re somewhat more efficient, sure, but it’s an almost insultingly small improvement compared to BEVs and what we need to actually achieve. It would keep the same dynamic we have today where politicians are hesitant to include a carbon tax or increase fuel taxes.

So how about a compromise: every new vehicle sold must have a plug, be capable of traveling at highway speeds in pure electric, and a 40-50 mile electric range. Including hydrogen cars (which, after all, already are hybrid electric vehicles incorporating a significant lithium ion battery to provide peak power).

This would provide a natural consumer pull for electric vehicle charging infrastructure to be standard in places like apartments and houses and on street parking without hurting anyone’s current use case. It’s enough electric range so that vast majority of people could do it good 80% of the driving on pure electric. Even if you think everyone will have hydrogen cars, this reduces the number of hydrogen fueling stations needed by about a factor of 10. Major car manufacturers have been able to produce decent plug-in hybrids like this for a decade now. And it’s enough range that you could run the car purely electric if you had some reason that you had to do so, like in tunnels or city centers (although some mechanism to enforce this would be needed).

It also reduces the total amount of lithium batteries needed by a good factor of five compared to all-battery, which is important in the near term as we ramp up. And the extra 10-15kWh or so of battery is fairly trivial if you already have an electric powertrain (which HEVs and Hydrogen fuel cell cars do). At automotive volumes, that’s only an extra $1000-2000 or so of lithium ion cells and a vast reduction (>$10,000-20,000) in operating costs over the entire vehicle’s lifespan. (And actually, fuel cells have a limited lifespan, worse than large battery EVs, so making them plug in hybrids would stretch that significantly.)

I just don’t trust Toyota on this. Non-plug in hybrids and hydrogen cars just aren’t sufficient or low cost enough to operate.
IMO that's actually a good example of why we should be confident about the COVID vaccines. There was only about 2 weeks between the Cutter Lab vaccine being approved for distribution, and being pulled because of the side effects. Vaccine side effects aren't vanishingly rare, even serious ones, but vaccine side effects taking months or years to appear (in contrast to minutes-weeks) are.

Relevant vaccination as a condition of work is not a new thing; what is different with the Google policy is:

(1) It is not clearly a condition of employment, as remote work remains available, generally til mod October and individually beyond that.

(2) The work condition to which it is relevant is “in office work” because of the still-ongoing pandemic, which has not historically been a work condition requiring vaccination.

(3) The vaccines involved are under Emergency Use Authorizations, not generally approved.

To the extent that #2 and #3 might otherwise make the policy questionable, I think as long as #1 is still the case there's not much real ground for that.

I will start thinking about supporting IPv6 when Docker supports it out of the box.

Hopefully, then I can test an individual application by running it in a container with "docker run -p [::1]:80:80 ...".

I don't want to go down the rabbit hole of fiddling with the docker demon and setting up a custom network.

The new contest is not CUDA vs. OpenCL but CUDA vs. Vulkan Compute. As support for Vulkan in hardware becomes more widespread, it makes more and more sense to just standardize on it for all workloads. The programming model is quite different between the two (kernels vs. shaders) and OpenCL 2.x has quite a few features that are not in Vulkan, but the latest version of OpenCL has downgraded many of these to extensions.
Got it. Yeah, it's definitely tricky.

The other aspect is that a decent chunk of the IPv4 space at least is fairly dynamic. We've seen some blocks change owners every few weeks.
Serious question:

Is anyone putting up a real argument that the vaccines may have long-term harm that outweighs the harm done by the risk of the disease in the same timeframe? Say 20 years. Compute the risk of getting covid over 20 years based on, say, the risk seen in North Dakota over the last year and estimate a health outcome based on that. Is anyone putting up a real argument that any of the vaccines might have a comparable outcome?
If you need CPU-side SIMD, then try ispc: https://ispc.github.io/

Its pretty much the OpenCL-model, except it compiles into AVX2 code / AVX512 code. Very similar to CUDA / OpenCL style programming. Its not single-source like CUDA, but it largely accomplishes the programming model IMO.
The reality of this of course would be a bunch of meta comments "." or "dumbass" or just general low-effort insults

We do have that right. Take cars for example, we drive extremely dangerous machines down the road that kill thousands each year. They also put out dangerous pollutants that kill many people. We all live in a world where there is a give and take. It is only recently that people decided we have a right to live risk-free.
I suspect the standard will be to say "everyone must," with a long list of exceptions. And the truly vaccine-adverse will find their way into an exception. So the "mandates" moves the needle 10 or 15 percent, not the last 40 or 50%.

I'm fully-Pfizered, but I think heavy-handed blanket rules without exceptions would cause more harm than good. People in Idaho shouldn't have the same blanket rule as Google HQ, and I bet the small number of true religious objectors at Google HQ would have no real impact on the public health math.

It can be somewhat arbitrary.

You and I have very different opinions about what constitutes a major website. Gentoo isn't exactly on a lot of people's bookmarks bar. Maybe try https://www.alexa.com/topsites instead, and you can give adoption statistics by hits/population rather than number of sites.
HIPAA (not HIPPA) is only relevant in terms of your health care provider(s) disclosing information. A company is completely free to demand proof of vaccination records xor refuse to employ you (and as long as they're demanding it from you and not your health care provider [without your permission], there is no precedent being set here and HIPAA doesn't even enter the picture).

As a general rule of thumb (barring some edge case exceptions), it is impossible for anyone but a health care provider to violate HIPAA. For examples, reporters reporting on someone's health conditions, sharing health information that was intended to be kept secret, or demanding proof of vaccination are not violating HIPAA.

Plenty of industries demand vaccination (healthcare, childcare, etc.) as a prerequisite for employment; this is not a new model being implemented.
No, it really shouldn't.
It's causes social harm to not get vaccinated.

If your "freedom" negatively affects the safety and welfare of the other participants of a community then it's the best interest of that society to either coerse you comply, or expel you.

Selfish personal liberty should never detract from the freedoms of the commonwealth. Not getting vaccinated because someone believe biology is a political decision unilaterally detracts the freedoms of others.

A nationwide wave of evictions threatens more than six million families
HN discussions often portray housing affordability as a San Francisco, or tech-region, or coastal section. The map on this article (enable JS to view) clearly shows that it is not: housing precarity as measured by households owing back rent is pervasive across the US, and especially concentrated well away from tech hot-spots: California's inland valleys, the deep south, a large swath of (very non-urban) South Dakota, likewise much of New Mexico. There are counties with high-delinquency rates in virtually every state.

The total accrued debt is $23 billion, $2,300 per household (this in a country in which half of all households cannot pay a $400 unexpected expense). A second map shows the amounts owed by household --- that shifts slightly more coastal (where rents are in fact higher in nominal terms) but again shows a pervasive problem. It's not merely one of the canard "you have no right to live in one of the most expensive region" --- this is unaffordability of a fundamental Maslovian need across an entire country. Something is very badly broken with how the US chooses to provision and manage its housing, and incomes (wages, pensions, welfare support).

Title adapted from within the article as more descriptive than "How Many People Are at Risk of Losing Their Homes in Your Neighborhood?"
I meant in a tongue and cheek kind of way. I was thinking it was funny. Apparently HN is full of people that interpret text literally and cannot infer nuance whatsoever.

It was certainly very common before the 20th century, particularly one's mother given childbirth in those times. But I think you may be wrong about most.

While the simple life expectancy was so awfully low, much of that was infant mortality. If you look just at life expectancy of those who had already reached adolescence, it was not quite so dire. In particularly prosperous eras and places with relatively low disease, you could at the age of 15 expect to quite likely live to 50. Now, hoping to see 70 was rather optimistic, but you wouldn't be the oldest person in your village probably. And for Britain in the mid 18th century, making it to 70 nearly has odds in your favour. Though I guess that's coming to early modern times.
