Not the GP, but I'm imagining that they meant that in the same way the 'War on Drugs' was not discrimination based on skin color, it had a disproportinate impact on African-American communities (which for all accounts was by design).

Lower socioeconomic communities have poorer access to vaccinations and lower rates of vaccination.

Just because something does not claim to discriminate by race, does not make it true. Measures to segregate the unvaccinated WILL impact lower socioeconomic communities more than middle class communities.
Google and Facebook are the most important companies for controlling information flow in the modern world. As a side effect this rule will increase conformity in their ranks, with predictable consequences.
Considering a “long game” is in the 80 hour range of play time, 10 hours for startup can be somewhat excessive.

It’s true that new players may think they are in control when they are really not - but it’s easier to understand when the other side had larger/more units.

There is a reason why new players in RTS games tend to overbuild defenses - they’re default goal is to play for and secure the map.
That's how you know it's not just a public health measure. For other vaccines, we rely on the majority being vaccinated so that any isolated outbreaks are naturally contained. I assume google doesn't ask you to prove you're vaccinated against measles for example. If one person is not vaccinated, it's to their detriment and irrelevant to everyone else. There are weak arguments about vaccine efficacy etc that some people could still get infected, but the point is that majority voluntary vaccination contains disease to the point that there is no justification of invasive personal measures (in this case disclosing personal health information to an information predator, but its unacceptable regardless of the employer). It seems to me this is much more about signaling to their various stakeholders about their politics rather than an actual public health campaign.

FWIW I think (I think) they should be allowed to enforce this if they want, even if i dont like it. Although I might support measures to make this kind of discrimination illegal, I'd have to think more about that. Despite having my vaccine, I would not work for a company that asked me to prove it, however. I've got no beef with the vaccine, only with giving state or corporate actors power over my health choices.

It's reasonable to assume that Commodore would have migrated the Amiga platform to (probably) PowerPC if they hadn't self-destructed.
Several senior employees left the company to form new studios, taking several people with them. Ben Brode and Mike Morheim for example.
Think of yourself at the center of a circle with a series of concentric rings. If you are vaccinated with a 90% effective vaccine, your chance of catching the bug is 10% from anyone in the first ring. However, if everyone in the first ring is vaccinated, the chance of catching the bug from anyone in the second ring is only 1% (i.e 0.1*0.1). Thus with enough people vaccinated even a crappy vaccine works pretty well.

Perhaps a rather simplistic model, but somewhat illustrative.

> Breakthrough infections are rare, right?

Sort of; we don't (and won't) entirely know.

With the delta variant becoming more common, it's seeming like vaccinated people might still be able to transmit the disease, even if they don't become infected themselves. There's also the matter of asymptomatic infection: remember that the 95% efficacy numbers reported by Pfizer and Moderna (for example) are about symptomatic infection; during their clinical trials, they only tested people if they showed symptoms.

And if a vaccinated person is infected but asymptomatic, they may never even know about it. Technically we may or may not call that a "breakthrough infection", but that person could still presumably infect an unvaccinated person, and that's the thing that matters.

> Obviously there may be some individuals who can't get the vaccine, but that should be a relatively rare circumstance, and could have policies around dealing with it.

Right, and having people around them who are unvaccinated by choice is an unnecessary risk to those who can't be vaccinated.
At quite a distance, sure.
Not that rare in the scheme of things. Odds are strong that if you're vaccinated a breakthrough infection will be much less serious though. However in either case, you've now inconvenienced the breakthrough infectee who has to be concerned with how they go on to infect others, e.g. unvaccinated children.
Or it's a democratic majority belief that "we don't want more immigration" and both parties try to cater to it (but also to cater to the need for cheapo working hands to squeeze value off and help thwart domestic labour rights, which mass low-skill immigration offers).
If I recall correctly, there are ways to ask for religious exemption to some of the requirements (e.g. vaccination when immigrating, answering "no" to an immigration question about willing to bear arms for the US), but they require establishing proof that you have been a member of a religious community that has rules conflicting with the mandate - it's not as easy as saying "it is so because I say so". Depending on how enforcement will happen, it may be possible to at least reduce the loophole.
Unclear how different is this from getting vaccinated as a child, giving blood sample for lab test as a child, and having your tooth removed as a child.
i’m with you there. what really concerns me is that people that vaccinated themselves and people who don’t want the vaccine seem to live in completely different worlds.

we are a post truth society. logic and reason have been dismissed and sent to the basement. I laughed hard when I saw Idiocracy first - now I no longer find it funny. I wonder why.
I thought polio was also dealt with via mass vaccination? There are rumours of weaponized polio but not in general distribution, fortunately. An hiv vaccine with the efficacy of COVID vaccines would result in a vaccination rate so fast it would have relativistic effects.
Yeah, just like the American Pie movies, kids like em, so they're kid movies!
Wait, why is there no "play with it here" github.io page? This shouldn't require anyone to build anything just to play with it? O_o

Catch22 though. If you eliminate bounce back, you have to rank to get the ranking signal into Google. So how did they rank in the first place? I haven’t tried to reverse what they’re doing but I don’t think the author quite figured it out. Interesting phenomenon though.

Society has progressed from such times. There are many things that were acceptable back then that would not be now. If the draft was re-enacted, we would hopefully see strong pushback.
The same way that my friend who is vaccinated was infected by his unvaccinated wife. Close quarters with an infected person is going to increase risk for some one who is vaccinated. The Pfizer vaccine is 38% effective [1] at preventing infection on average. It’s obvious that spending 8 hours next to someone who is actively infectious will reduce that efficacy rate.

[1] for the Delta variant, which at this point is what matters

This should not be happening. Something is Broken.
Automotive writers in Japan has been heavily biased to Japanese car industry (but also like driving German cars despite there is no Autobahn). Now they write how BEV isn't quite good as Tesla says, and next EU decarbonization regulation is a bit conspiracy to make Japanese cars hard to sell.

Those arguments are true in some part but meaningless or misinformation in some part. I agree that LCA CO2 regulation is win for EU/China and lose for Japan car industry, and now EU car manufacturer become able to make BEV in clean energy so EU pushes the regulation, but decarbonization is now obviously justice so blaming it is nonsense. We're stuck in small land/grid and against nuclear for now.

They also hype about hydrogen cars. Hydrogen seems to good to investigate for truck or other industry vehicle, or dedicated storage, but they overly hype about car with fuel cell or even ICE burning hydrogen. Maybe because who read such article loves ICE.

I think Toyota and Honda did well for decarbonization until the solution become making BEV that needs massive amount of Li-ion (material and power intensive battery).
This type of scraped-content websites were common for English language searches back in 2010 or so. I believe the 'Panda' algorithm update eliminated them from English searches.
I feel like developer experience of Discord is the only argument you need when talking about whether Elixir can scale economically. If a company can do it on venture capital, it's well within the grasp of FANMAG.

https://blog.discord.com/scaling-elixir-f9b8e1e7c29b?gi=ecb5...

Edit: That said, squeezing every last drop of performance out of a server by writing everything in Rust is something that a FANMAG can well afford and may make more sense at the 100mil+ concurrent users scale, but it wouldn't be economical to start a project this way without certainty the capacity would be used.
i think the draft is way worse in that you are separated from your family and there is a real possibility you’re going to die.

also, remember that this is not the government. your employer can ask you to do anything (within limits) and invoke at-will employment when you don’t want to do it. I love capitalism!
One angle that isn't being discussed – having vaccinated employees greatly reduces healthcare costs for the company and its insurance provider. I'm sure they would love to enforce vaccinations, annual checkups, healthy diet, exercise, no smoking etc. among employees as a condition for providing insurance or employment if there wasn't a social pushback for doing so.

Of course Jobs was always trying to imagine the future, and telepresence wasn't exactly his idea. Lots of sci-fi novels with that premise by 1990. And what do you need to take advantage of this hot new remote work thing? A NeXT Workstation, of course! Just $9,999, checks payable to Steven Jobs...
> then eventually you're tracking down acceptance criteria for your own stories (what happened to the project manager?!

Lol depending on the product owner I get anywhere from "some nice stories and design mockups" to "there isn't even a document describing the requirments and I have to write my own stories for bookkeeping purposes."
> "Others have damned him..."

Everyone's entitled to an opinion, I suppose. But something tells me that keeping company with Heinlein, Asimov, and the other greats now deemed problematic would be far better than with these "others".
It's really shaky to say "religions" don't oppose vaccines because religious interpretation (and personal interactions with their god(s)) is up to the individual.

But it's all irrelevant in this case because Google is almost entirely an at-will employer. They can change the terms of the agreement at any time - take it or leave it.
From TFA, it seems like it's hard for gays to understand how straights think about hosing and for straights to understand how gays think about housing. I somehow doubt that the type of sex you enjoy is so influential in the type of housing development you prefer.
You raise an excellent point. When you sign up for the US military you give up a lot of your rights. This is definitely bad from a perspective of individual rights, though I can see arguments for a draft being a matter of addressing an existential threat.

Do we as a country feel like COVID is an existential threat? I’m definitely concerned about how we handle future, potentially worse pandemics before we figure out where we draw these lines and what appropriate trade offs are for public health.

Vaccination isn't an all or nothing game. Every single bit helps. Some people will always opt out one way or another, but that doesn't make the entire policy useless.
Not disagreeing that Covid19 is a much more lethal disease, can you point to some reference that compares covid death to flu related death (prior to covid).
I agree, the original poster is correct as the title is factually wrong by any reasonable definition of ‘kid’ and ‘animated series’.

Hopefully NPR will correct the title to make it less misleading.

But as I said, these are not comparable quantities. 99.9% is the percentage of previously-infected people in Israel who were re-infected. This 99% is the percentage of infections which are reinfections. It's a totally different number.

If we were to naively calculate an "effectiveness" from this data point (which I absolutely do not think we should do), it'd go like this: First, about 10% of the UK population has been infected. If there were no protection for re-infected people, we'd, of course, expect 10% of cases to be re-infections. Instead it's more like 1%, which suggests that being previously infected makes you 10x less likely to be infected. This gives a 90% back-of-the-envelope "effectiveness" against reinfection.

Now, I don't think it's actually 90% - I think that analysis leaves out a lot of other information we'd need to know. And besides, we'd have to perform a similar conversion for the Israeli 99.9% number to have something to compare to. But we shouldn't make the mistake of saying "99.9% and 99% are in the same ballpark".
Yes me too. have like it better than DDG.
From the first point of the Nuremberg Code:

'The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment. The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.'

Is that true? We’ve classified a lot of things in life. The entire taxonomy of animals for example. No, I’m sorry, this is not beyond us. Where does Coronavirus fall? It’s not HIV, that’s for sure. Is it closer to the flu, or not?

I think we’re done playing this game as a society.
The vaccination rate for vericella (Chickenpox) is over 90%, so our society has herd immunity and cases are rare. Same with measles, mumps, diphtheria and polio. I don't know the vaccination for meningitis, but cases are rare and mostly in children not old enough to be vaccinated.

If an officemate wanted to be a free rider on one of those they could, and it would be very unlikely any harm would come from it.

If we had a 90% vaccination rate for this coronavirus we would not be having this conversation (and several hundred Americans would not be dying daily from a preventable illness).

As for the flu, its not especially dangerous, not prone to exponential spread, pre-symptomatic transmission is rare and the vaccines are not especially effective. So the flu shot is in a different class than the others.
Makes no rational sense. The unvaccinated choose to be unvaccinated. You can walk into any Walgreens and get vaccinated for free. The vaccines have over 99% efficacy. Over 99% of new infections are unvaccinated people. Vast majority of vaccinated people getting infected with delta are having mild illness.

If I had to bet, these sorts of policies actually disincentivize people to get vaccinated. Let everyone suffer so you can keep living unvaccinated.
I recently rediscovered Tom DeMarco's article "Software Engineering: An Idea Whose Time Has Come and Gone?" where he makes an interesting argument that tight control is much more important for a $1M project that yields $1.1M in value vs. a $1M project that yields $50M in value:

"...the more you focus on control, the more likely you're working on a project that's striving to deliver something of relatively minor value."
Curiously, this namespace issue is solved in other sporthorses with microchips and horse passport numbers. I suppose it's the betting that causes them to have to make rules.

The convention in European sport horses is typically the registered name uses the first initial of the sire (so a horse named Donnerhall's decendents all have D names, and if you have the name and breed, it's like designer advertising for what line they're from) with the exception of the Lusitanos and Spanish PRE's, which use names where the first letter is assigned to the year of their birth.

So a Portuguese or Spanish horse named "A"ndro would have been born in 2004, and a horse named "E"duardo would have been in 2009, and it's a useful convention you can know a horses age from its name. Their studbooks are relatively narrow with fewer foundation stallions and breeders.
Ask HN: My old company is still depositing my salary. What to do?

This seems like an overly pedantic approach. How many children younger than 5 are around posting on HN?

Granted, people here may have children of that age. But we're also talking about the expected value of vaccines as well. While I haven't kept on current information, last I heard vaccines also weren't approved for such young kids either.

Could they have been more exactingly accurate with their language? Sure. But the issue was small and basically entirely irrelevant given both the venue and topic at hand. Yet you basically tried to present this as an all-round smashing of their entire point.
True, but also a 74LS00 still costs $0.19 (just googled it).
Saito Network Web 3 Grant: Milestone 1 Accepted
The Saito team are proud to announce that Milestone One of our web 3 foundation grant (Saito – Polkadot Game Bridge) has been delivered and approved.

This milestone brings Saito’s decentralized game engine to the broader web 3 community. The engine allows developers to build turn based games in a truly decentralised manner. It removes the need for a centralized, trusted, third party for complex game processes like card shuffles, dice rolls and turn management. This is achieved by implementing a standardized, blockchain-ready stack, and complex cryptographic techniques like mental poker.

Saito open-sourced the game engine that powers the Saito Arcade as part of our commitment to web 3. This commitment goes beyond gaming. Saito is an open network layer that delivers web 3 to users. Applications on Saito can run without closed plugins, private APIs and non-open infrastructure. The work done as part of this grant provides developers with a working example of how you use Saito to underpin their web 3 applications, keeping them open all the way to the infrastructure layer.

Work is well under way on the second and final milestone. This adds token transfer functionality, developer documentation and playable games.

Saito co-founder noted “We are grateful to the web3 foundation for their support in this and excited to show the community how Saito can provide open infrastructure to web 3 projects.”

I would have downvoted here instead of arguing with you as I am doing, lol. I disagree. I strongly dislike moderation ( it feels like an unfair boss coming in and using tricky stuff to avoid directly addressing the moderated party. Cowardice. Injustice. Etc…and such lousy grammatical constructions as “you are posting too fast”. Someone inform the HN bot that quickly is an adverb and that fast is an adjective, many incorrectly written street signs notwithstanding.
Sure, but to whatever extent the human resources are the engine that drives creation of revenue, clients, and IP, it would seem that taking a large chunk of an existing working machine would have better odds than some other startup, right?
