If you remember, vaccines were developed under enormous pressure and every day of delay meant literally tens of thousands of people dying across the world.

So the uncertainties about these vaccines must be weighted against the situation in which they came to be.

Fortunately, the doubt against vaccines seems to be largely unfounded and it is easily evidenced by drops in death rates in all countries that implemented vaccinations.
Maybe because they're

The apolitical government agencies lie a lot less than you are implying.

You also seem to be implying if the government is pushing something than it is safer to do the opposite. Go outside during tornado warnings? Spend all day outside if they forecast extreme heat? Ignore a mandatory evacuation if a hurricane is coming? Keep your seat belt unbuckled? Fly on an unlicensed airline?

Exactly when should you ignore the gov’t and when should you listen?
To be clear, I agree that Freenom's behavior is a scam. I've been on board with that the whole time.

The car analogy seems questionable-at-best to me though, yeah it doesn't have the same elements. A car isn't hard to switch out, and you're not adding any value to it by using it. At worst you're right back where you started. The house analogy does seem better because it's hard to switch.
Everyone on HN is obsessed with that "vulnerability" without considering that: a) almost all sites that try to avoid it fail anyway when you try to sign up - "that email is already registered" and b) it's really user-hostile for a tiny increase in privacy so it's perfectly reasonable to not implement it on most sites.
Interesting, thanks.

I just read this post on Popehat[0] recounting an event while Ken White was working for an LA federal judge back in the day. He was brought to a ceremony conducted by Judge Ronald S.W. Lew where numerous, VERY elderly Filipino WW2 veterans were granted US Citizenship. This was promised to them in addition to veteran's benefits by FDR in exchange for recruitment into the war effort, and after the war quietly swept under the rug by the congress.

There's no reason why it would be caused merely by paving over of lawns and gardens in the last year - there's a lot of year-to-year variation in weather like this, and without sufficient advance planning and restrictions to enforce this, it's really easy to build in ways that get away without flooding for a few years or even decades until they don't.

Wafer is a simple and lightweight base library for building Web Components that can be used on the browser, server or both.

It small (<2kb minified and compressed) and opts for a CSS selector based API for updating component templates.

Component declarations can be used unchanged on both the client and server (node) to SSR components (using Shadow or Light DOM) and optionally hydrate on the client.

Interesting research, even if it isn't something you'd immediately assume would go into commercial products.
The fact that they see a weight decrease simply from adding calorie free weight to the food is interesting to me. I knew different foods can have vastly satiety at the same calorie count, but I would not assume that this could be simply due to a weight or volume difference. I would more have assumed that our bodies response to breaking down the foods would regulate our hunger to aim for a given amount of energy intake.

We don't know how the brain produces consciousness but we have a good idea from observing people suffering brain damage from accidents how a functional brain is directly linked to consciousness.

Science can't prove the world is not the dream of a giant turtle- so technically I can't "know" anything- so asking "how can you know that?" Is kind of a boring line of questioning. It has no answer other than "Well I guess technically I can't know that, or anything," But that doesn't mean turtle dreams are going to get equal weight with our empirical models of the world.
very insightful, would like a version for before-round-A startups.

By the point when you got round-A, you have already passed the most difficult time for a startup: to survive from bootstrap or angel-fund to round-A.

the key is actually how to get angel-fund or bootstrap so you can reach to round-A, instead of being those 95% failed to launch ones and never saw the light.

The difference is the weird branding issue. It's as though implying 'The EU did this!' when really it was local taxpayers who did, in fact, they've likely overpaid as services will disproportionately go to poor countries.

I think it's fair on some level, but should be commensurate with the activity.

Towns should not be forced to fly an EU flab 'because some fund'.

If a highway in Poland is built with EU funds, then it's very fair to have ample signage indicating that.

Or of the vaccines are paid for by the EU, then the vaccine rollout should make that very clear. That's fair.

That way at least there's legitimacy to it.

If "trusting the government" is the reason you are taking a vaccine, you don't know enough about history, current events, or medicine. Any government, as a whole, is stupid and slow. But even stupid institutions can get things right when they are obvious enough. When they do, it doesn't mean you should start trusting them.

Simple understandings of biology and medicine should inform you that taking a vaccine to the worst pandemic in living memory is the right course of action.
So? We helped fucking pay for it, and we're eligible to draw from it as-per the withdrawal agreement.
Ask HN: What are list of technologies you used in your job for last 24 months?
Hello All,

As you know, now days job description/requirements are so vague and includes so many things for just one role that it is hard to understand what is realistically needed or actually being used for that role in any organization. So this is one attempt to solve this puzzle, hopefully, with your help.

So maybe if you could write something on below format that would be helpful to everyone

Your Role/Title [1]:
Extensive Used technologies in last 24 months [2]:
Rarely/Sometimes used technologies in last 24 months [3]:

[1] For example: Senior Java Developer, Full Stack Developer etc...
[2] Almost every day or most days in week
[3] Not used in [2] but requires sometimes

Also one last question to this, if you could write job posting for your job today, what list of technologies bare minimum candidate must know to be successful in your job?

Thanks for your time. I hope it will help everyone to get realistic idea what is actually needed for any job :)

It is an incredible result, my first thought is that it depends so much on the sampling of what books get published, and what books wind up in the maw of google books.

I have done things like look at specific dates that turn up in Wikipedia and you see some things that are real but when you get close to the time frame Wikipedia existed sampling effects are strong.

It would be fun to look at ‘I am a *’ though.
You can’t fight racism and sexism by using “reparative” racism and sexism. Going after straight white men because of their identity is as abhorrent as any other form of racism/sexism.
This article is a prime example of law enforcement passing the buck of responsibility for their own actions to a black box system by claiming that the system's output is "unbiased".

> “You may wonder why you were enrolled in this program,” the letter continues. “You were selected as a result of an evaluation of your recent criminal behavior using an unbiased, evidence-based risk assessment designed to identify prolific offenders in our community. As a result of this designation, we will go to great efforts to encourage change in your life through enhanced support and increased accountability.”

> Last year, a Tampa Bay Times investigation revealed that the Sheriff’s Office creates lists of people it considers likely to break the law based on criminal histories, social networks and other unspecified intelligence. The agency sends deputies to their homes repeatedly, often without a search warrant or probable cause for an arrest.

Now law enforcement gets to absolve themselves of accusations of bias or targetting because they assume that their computers can't be "biased", even though they only buy systems that confirm their own hunches about which people are criminals or not.

If anyone complains, they can say they were only doing what the supposedly unbiased system told them to do, after all.

> What is the effective difference between believing someone deserves to suffer, and purposefully withholding aid that could be rendered?

This is silly. By your logic we in the Western world are essentially causing the suffering of the Uyghurs in China because we haven't started a war to stop their oppression.

You aren't complicit just because you don't try to fix every wrong in the world.

The real world is difficult and involves suffering, pain, unfairness, etc. Our resources to limit these negative aspects of existence are finite. When we view someone "suffering" and see it as the result of their own actions, yea, I think we are even more reluctant to do anything.

All that to say: Good luck convincing people that they should allocate scarce resources to help out the people who throw containers of urine at them and defecate on the sidewalk in front of their apartment.
> traffic rules

I think you're probably trying for one of those moral relativism fallacies (why don't we just go around killing people?) but you actually picked a ridiculously easy target that supports my point. How many instances are there of speed limits being set to create speed traps rather than to actually promote safety? Or set based on oil embargoes in the 70s and just left there? Or rules based on nimbyism and not wanting traffic in certain neighborhoods? Or lights timed to catch people at red light cams. This is all off the top of my head, I'm sure I could go on, but we should definitely be skeptical that many traffic rules are made "for our safety" and not for some other agenda, good point!

Adding to the remark in the article about new and used cars being linked at the dealers: many new car dealers do not shop at auctions. They only buy used trade-ins partly to help encourage new car purchases ie the "four square" calculation they use.

So when their new car supply is interrupted upstream, that also interrupts their flow of used cars, so some dealer lots are a little thin on both new and used inventory at the moment.
Yes there's lots of these articles about global recession but no where in these do they mention border closures are not something supported by the WHO as a way of controlling the spread. The WHO's entire stance on lockdowns is that they should be temporary and targeted because the economic impact caused by them causes a greater impact to health. That's an inconvenient truth that the CDC and other government heath agencies aren't keen on having widely known. Thus it seems to be left out of the press.

> "You know what's not going to happen... The government just sit back and watch 80% of the world's wealth disappear."

Probably depends on who it's disappearing from.
It is a hypothetical scenario for the purpose of an example. It could have been literally anything, the point is for it to be rare.
But your point still supposes that deregulation is something that needs to be advocated by a special interest group.

My point is that there are many people who are philosophically opposed to regulation enforced by a violence monopoly (the government) so the default position is that all regulations need to constantly revisited and removed if they can’t be adequately defended.

It is just as likely for established mega corps to spread propaganda about the importance of the existing regulations over an industry to protect from new entrants as it is for companies to push for their removal.
I blame it all on that one Beck song, plus that one Radiohead song
“Two years of Newtrition investment and research had produced CHOW™. CHOW™ contained spun, plaited, and woven protein molecules, capped and coded, carefully designed to be ignored by even the most ravenous digestive tract enzymes; no-cal sweeteners; mineral oils replacing vegetable oils; fibrous materials, colourings, and flavourings. The end result was a foodstuff almost indistinguishable from any other except for two things. Firstly, the price, which was slightly higher, and secondly the nutritional content, which was roughly equivalent to that of a Sony Walkman. It didn't matter how much you ate, you lost weight[1].

[1] And hair. And skin tone. And, if you ate enough of it long enough, vital signs.”

I wish people were more mindful of this when they critique our "averages" so incessantly. Certain parts of the country bring down the average hard, and while we SHOULD be doing everything possible to improve these areas, I roll my eyes when a European tries to use an average weighed down by places like Baltimore to tell me my likelihood of getting shot, having access to healthcare, or overall risk of catching a certain pandemic disease. My state had lower case rates than most of Europe, buddy.

It does. You are allowed to fork or reimplement the Signal client, and even distribute it, with the official Signal servers configured, so long as you do not infringe the Signal trademark.

They don't like forks using their servers, but it's the users who connect to their servers, not the fork publisher. Those users are permitted to connect via the TOS, which is independent from the GPL.

I run a small IT company and the Windows sysadmin stock answer to nearly all problems:

Ah, this again. Freedom is fine, it's just that people don't read the terms and conditions before clicking "I agree".

I have a .tk domain that I bought in 2008, never had a problem, and I've been using that for all sort of things (including running a mail server).

The thing is, you're supposed to read the terms and conditions before using something, AS FOR EVERYTHING.

When I registered (and later bought) the domain the terms and conditions clearly stated that you do not get legal ownership of the domain with the free offering (which is more akin to a lease than to a registration).
>As for the metadata, no metadata is leaked that signal does not also leak.

Signal does not leak to third party servers with whom I talk to. There's encrypted comms to the server, and that's it. I try to talk to someone who has gmail account, Google now has access to 100% of my metadata with that contact. I trust Signal more than I trust Google with my metadata.

Also, there's precedent from TWO court cases Signal doesn't collect your metadata. Show me one email vendor that has such real-life proof about not collecting metadata about their users.
> Delta chat leaks metadata to email providers, and PGP has no forward secrecy or deniability.

Signal leaks metadata to the signal server. Deniability is useless. Forward secrecy is cool as long as you are not using more than one device.
