There are more types of RNA than just mRNA. https://www.livescience.com/25988-rna-versatile-molecules.ht...

I'm not an expert so I'm not going to speculate which type might be used, but the risk that the government is using (soon to be mandatory) shots as a way to insert a biological backdoor into the masses far outweighs the risk of catching covid again. They want backdoors into all software systems... why wouldn't they want a backdoor into your biology? If not now, then what about when we're on our 5th booster?

If I was dying on my bed from some crazy variant that the government was fearmongering, I would still think that my risk assessment was valid. I'd have no regrets.
Note, some of that is a requirement by the Matrix protocol and is out of clients control. It's ultimately up to the server to configure different password requirements.

Getting downvoted to me is an honour because most people on the internet are dunces. If you get downvoted you know you struck a nerve or at least the other person wasted a few seconds of his life reading your retarded opinion. Happiness is in the little things.
…but why? Why would they? And why would you think so?

I think you’ve already decided what to believe and are just looking for ways to justify it. You’ve just got to support this “anti-freedom” narrative somehow for whatever mysterious reason that’s important to your ego and sense of self.

I don’t get it.
I see similarities with Redwood[0]. Nextless.js is just added sugar, spice and rest of the boilerplates.

Vaccine records are nothing new - I remember needing to get a meningitis vaccine to go to college 15 years ago.
There is one thing to note though, I would assume Google and maybe a few others might have more people willing to transition to a hybrid model or spend days back in the office specifically for the huge amount of amenities they offer, and the food's pretty good.

Contrast this with contractor body shops, small or medium businesses in regular buildings where your day is a screaming hellhole of a tiny cubicle with low walls or an open plan office that also has support with loud headsets next to you, the only lunch option is an overpriced sandwich or salad, the commute is over an hour each way in a cramped, standing room only transit and not a private company shuttle with wifi and clean seats.

If I was working out of MV I would be more inclined to spend a day or two a week voluntarily at the office.

If I was in an open plan cube farm where I give myself mild tinnitus just having noise cancelling headphones cranked up to eleven for the entire duration, then an hour and a half ACE/Caltrain/BART multiple transfers home, fuck that, 100% remote, if I get pushback on the remote part I leave.
They were told about the devil's pact they were doing regarding adoption, but since they were the same group that believed in company propaganda like do no evil, they went ahead anyway.
It's my hope the future will be more decentralized than that. Perhaps a smartphone is a portal to a dashboard coordinating a fleet of machines -- some in the cloud, some in the community, and some under your personal control in your property.

A high definition display (perhaps a projector or OLED screen) embeds a streaming device of which there are already plenty on the market. A computer with integrated game controller and advanced graphics sits charging on a dock, ready to pair and cast it's intensively, locally rendered graphics to a screen of the user's choosing. A room off to the side contains 5 or more smartscreens, ready to accept display from a personalized repository of cloud containers.

A touch-tablet hangs from a swivel arm under the cabinets above the kitchen stove, a swipe away from picking up a webpage from a smartphone or another on-network device. A UV light is embedded under the cabinet to help sanitize the tablet after cooking.

I think the intelligence gets decentralized behind APIs -- some hosted locally, some hosted through the internet. The user interfaces become more focused on context. You have various levels and kinds of input and edge intelligence based on the specific goal, all backed up by some handful of cloud applications. But a fleet like this becomes too hard to manage for an individual. So the specific deployments, allocations and budgeting is managed by an AI system that you set "moods" for through a smartphone app with some -- but limited -- advanced, specific settings available through a hamburger menu.
Individual preferences need not apply. The "smarter" mob demands you remove your mask and ignore acquired immunity and instead submit to experimental vaccines because they'll feel better about it.
I computed that on the day when I got my vaccine (the first dose was AZ) and the risk of thrombosis from the vaccine was comparable to that of that of thrombosis from corona in the next few weeks, assuming that my risk of being infected was the average for the city and that the incidence would be stable over the next weeks.

Three weeks I think? So the vaccine raised my chance of thrombosis in the next two weeks by 50%, but cut my chance of thrombosis in the next six weeks by 50%. Pick a number according to the conclusion you'd like to see.
IPv6 has barely a carrot and no stick.

Does anyone give me more money for using IPv6? Sure I might be able to save some money by not using IPv4 but that is rare.

Government doesn't incentivize it. Ad networks don't either. There is very little penalty (financial or otherwise) for not going to IPv6.

IPv6 will not happen until those sticks and carrots get bigger.
I can get a job without a car. How soon until I can't get a job without modifying my body?
Well now you're just living the quantum life, brah.
And? Why aren't people allowed to take risks anymore?

If the vaccine is available and I choose not to get it and then die... Well, that's my own prerogative.

We are quickly moving into a corporate and government nanny state where citizens and users can't be trusted with their own agency so their agency is removed.
Probably because /64 is the smallest recommended subnet size, and a /60 has “only” 16 /64 subnets within it.
I knew about about but only found out about two years ago, and I'm not one who is bad with tech either. So how common of knowledge it is is debatable I would say.
> and to my knowledge there are many engineers refusing to be vaccinated

The majority of the general population is getting vaccinated. I seriously doubt that there are disproportionately large numbers of vaccine holdouts working in positions at Google that are correlated with being highly educated.

It's more likely that these policies will be well-received by Google employees who don't want to be exposed to an extremely risky virus that is known to be highly contagious but easily stopped with a simple vaccine.
They raised its price to €3.49. I got this in the samr email announcement today.
Or, and this is just a personal opinion, but the world could stand to lose some meat production. We could give them a stipend for moving away from ranching to protein production through plants or other goods. I know this is controversial, but meat does require orders of magnitude more water and resources and doesn’t seem reflective in the revenue realized.

Edit-but definitely start by paying them for whatever wolves eat.
Did you pay out of pocket for the vaccine?

Also, trillions to save 600,000 lives? What does that even mean?
Vaccines have been required for public schools (with government compelled attendance) for decades. This is nothing new.
Minorities are a protected class. That argument has no bearing at all on this subject.
None, I also think the site is stupid.

You strike me as someone who definitely does not work at google lol
This is such a stupid, stupid argument. Anyone who makes this argument has clearly never written PHP or has some personal stake in the Node.js ecosystem.

I've written Node.js/Javascript/TypeScript for the past 5-years and my last few projects have been Laravel just because of how damn easy it is. I've used Next.js, Gatsby, [insert flavor of the month here], but nothing has stood the test of time like PHP has. I never had a PHP server die on me because of a lost network connection. I never had a PHP server kill thousands of connections because of one error. I never was 4 versions behind a framework because it changes every fucking week. PHP never had me deploy a Kubernetes cluster with seven thousand pods and monitoring systems just to stay alive.

Node.js is a horrible programming language with a worse package system and anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't had the privilege to work with something else.
Natural immunity is not as well understood as vaccine response and longevity for COVID-19. There's also increasing evidence that newer variants like Delta present a significant reinfection risk for those who were infected with the wildtype or even Alpha six or more months before.
There is no bad faith argument from me. I'm simply asking what characteristics of an employee are acceptable to use to determine if they should be fired. What medical procedures can they choose to have?
For what reason? Arbitrary control?

Why does the right think that every government mandate that they don't understand (masks are the big one) are just about arbitrary control over people? It seems like a very common theme.
They're handy to have. I think most of them are technically not life saving devices, but you can use them for a bit of extra flotation if you need them. They're handy to rest your head on if you're taking a break and hopefully they make you more visible to other traffic on the water. If you're swimming with buddies it helps them to see where you are at in the water, especially if you're farther apart or if the water isn't flat.

I'll sometimes swim with a group at sunrise. We swim out about 750m from shore. Having the buoys helps us see where the other swimmers are at and ensure that everyone is safe. Also, if the swimmers ahead of you have good lines and they're sighting on the same thing as you are, you can be a bit lazy and just follow their buoys instead of having to pick out a landmark on the horizon.

You can even put an LED inside of some of them to get a bit of extra visibility depending on conditions. Lots of options!
> My point is, an appeal to history does not work when you are dealing with something new.

I'm not appealing to history. I'm appealing to the science of creating vaccines. Do you take no vaccines? You could apply the same argument to the measles or flu vaccine. Nobody did until now.

> By the way, how long have we had vaccines based on adenovirus vectors?

Can you articulate in a scientific manner why an adenovirus would be treated differently as it relates to the creation of vaccines and the body's response to them?
... left and right vote in addition to up and downvote?

Do not specify any rules nor instructions about when to vote left and when to vote right, but too much votes in either direction and the comment starts getting hidden.

If you disagree with the trend where any particular comment is going, figure out the horizontal direction you should click by yourself.

edit.

I think there is no need for up/downvotes after this system is implemented. Some secret amount of horizontal votes in either direction is good (counted as upvote). Too much over the limit and the extra is counted as a downvote. Hide the score from voters. Ban comments that attempt to discuss the score of any comment. Now everyone has a reason to be a bit more careful when voting (...except when a comment is obviously too left or right).
[not OP, but hey…] There’s no need for DHCP with IPv6. Clients choose the last 64 bits of an address randomly. The address space is huge — zero probability of a duplicate address.

The first 64 bits therefore identify the network. If your ISP routes a /60 to you then you get to split that into 16x /64s.

That’s probably fine, but the IETF recommendation is to dish out a /56 to small sites and give them a /48 if they ask for it. ISPs usually have multiple /32s at their disposal.

It’s not about number of available addresses or networks. The joy of IPv6 is the addresses are so wide you can bring back hierarchical addressing. No internal routing chicanery is needed.

If your site has 64 buildings then a /56 lets you assign a /62 to each, with 4x VLANs in each building eg for printers, guest net, phones, lighting, admin, with even a subnet for each business function in the building.
Science is not an appropriate epistemic tool to answer an historical question.
So 0? Or 100?

Is that perspective? Refrigerators use like 200-300W an hour, and every family has one of those. And computers sleep when not in use. Should we prohibit more than one fridge per household?
> Well of course you do get to choose to waive your rights to hippa protections, you can waive any right you want.

It's not waiving your right to HIPAA protections, because HIPAA protections literally do not apply in this scenario.

> 3028 - If my employer requires proof of my COVID-19 vaccination status, does that violate my rights under HIPAA?

> In general, the HIPAA Rules do not apply to employers or employment records. HIPAA only applies to HIPAA covered entities – health care providers, health plans, and health care clearinghouses – and, to some extent, to their business associates. If an employer asks an employee to provide proof that they have been vaccinated, that is not a HIPAA violation, and employees may decide whether to provide that information to their employer.

HIV is spread via blood / sexual contact. COVID is spread by being in the same room with an infected person.

Unless you're having sex or sharing dirty needles with your co-workers, your analogy falls apart pretty quickly.
Yeah, it's not HIPAA, but employers are prevented from discriminating based on disability and required to provide accommodation for disability.

I'm not confident anyone could successfully win a lawsuit claiming refusing a vaccine is a disability worth protecting there.
so can employers for instance ask about HIV status and discriminate based on that?
The actual amount of gallons of gas burned in planes using AVGas is extremely small compared to the gallons of gas burned by cars or by planes using jet fuel. Unless you were on the tarmac with prop planes running, I doubt you'd smell the lead.
Obviously, anyone already using this site can already afford IPv4
In Spain ISPs went from having some IPv6 networks eback to IPv4.

The reason?

They must block pirate tv sites and the Allot network equipment that does that does not support IPv6.
One argument that got thrown around a lot was that people in the hospital with COVID are taking medical resources away from others. You could make the same argument for people who choose to drink, smoke, remain obese, sedentary, have untreated diabetes or other chronic conditions that will eventually put them in the hospital needing a lot of very expensive care.
An employer requiring vaccinations prior to employment isn't unheard of in the US. It has been going on for several decades for workers in the education and healthcare industry as some of them have had to get vaccinated for chickenpox, measle, mumps, rubella, the flu, and other viruses as a requirement for employment at their respective organizations.

Also, what would be the next part after this? We would want to first evaluate that before allowing them access to it.

As for remote workers, I think that is a legitimate point and something companies should consider.
From the years 2012-2019 I hardly talked to my parents or siblings at all. I would fly back home to visit one of the two sides of my family during the holiday season, but that was it.

Looking back at those years, I (unconsciously) fit neatly into the mold suggested by this article (an emphasis on personal happiness, rejecting relatives that hold clashing beliefs, resentment from divorce, etc).

Ironically due to COVID lockdown in the last 18 months I found both myself and my wife rekindling relationships virtually (video games, discord/zoom calls, random BS texting, snapchat) with uncles, cousins, siblings, and parents that we hadn't really talked to in years. It's honestly been wonderful.

If you feel the article speaks to you, I encourage you to give estranged relatives a shot, or at least think about it. It's easiest to maintain momentum not talking to someone at all, but you might be missing out.

One thing that worked for me to break the ice was to start a group SMS chat with parents and siblings and just share random goings-on, pictures, etc.
If you want to get on the leftist anti-wage-slavery train you are welcome to join us, but I suspect that the number of antivaxx folks who are willing to actually make that leap is low.
I was being exactly as generous as I needed to be. This was a person who went out of their way to tell this thread "I belong to bunch of lovely subreddits and I'm deliberately not mentioning them so 'the average HNer' doesn't join". It wasn't even related to their point. They went out of their way in a footnote (!) to rub in the fact that we're so terrible.
The variants all come from unvaccinated people. With enough time, a vaccine resistant variant could come around and infect vaccinated folks who are forced to be around you.
Err, I don't think we could have had vaccine mandates much earlier than now. At most a month or so.

In the spring there were fewer doses than people who wanted them - people were flying to other states to get vaccines. Mandating vaccination wouldn't have sped it up much, while making workers' lives even harder.
It is a violation of the Nuremberg code.
If you work at google, you might want to send them this.

I've thought a lot about this specific idea.

I think the problem with your business model is:

- People who have already built their company/website/product are not going to move the world to adopt your platform. It's just too much work.

- This leaves you with people who haven't built/shipped anything yet, who aren't really willing to pay $500-2000 for your software (there may be exceptions, but not thaaaat many).

I think a really successful business model would be something like:

- Free for the first $10k revenue

- 3% of revenue after that (auto calculated via Stripe)

This way, many more people will get started with your software, and those that are actually successful will end up paying you a lot more than $500. "We don't get paid till you do" is the headline on your pricing page.

I'd imagine your retention would be amazing because it'd be very difficult to move off (similar reasons as Stripe, AWS).
That's the point of the GAMI fuel approval: it provides a practical path to stop using 100LL.
Ads should be relevant to the site, not the user.

For example, I buy hot rod magazines to get the advertisements selling hot rod parts in those magazines. I don't buy them to read toothpaste ads. I even pay money to get those ads.

But if I was visiting a site about dental hygiene, I'd be interest in the toothpaste ads.

I've tried to configure context-sensitive ads from Amazon on my web site to be books on programming. But Amazon would insist on showing:

1. batman movie ads

2. the same ad for a C++ course over and over and over and over

So I wound up removing those from the site. Instead, I created a list of good programming books myself, and would randomly cycle through that list to show an ad.

It would be so much better if I could enable:

"Only show books from this category."

as my aim is to only show advertisements that would be of interest to the people reading the site.

Google has context sensitive ads, and one would think this would work. But it doesn't. For example, I have a page on the American Revolution. Google's context sensitive ads are usually for travel agencies, presumably based on the place names on the page. Actually relevant ads would be for history books. I tried meta keywords, etc., nothing worked. I gave up. Google's context algorithms are worthless and the site owner should be able to provide guidance.
It does support IPv6, though.

$ dig +short ipv6.watch aaaa
2a01:4f8:1c1c:4b9f::

$ curl -6Is https://ipv6.watch/ | head -1

Unless you mean HN? Feels strange to me to make that comparison.

Where are you getting this belief from? We literally have had vaccine requirements for various places for decades...
Too many bubble-products, too many companies, too much brittle ground to stand on for a career that requires deep learning and bearing the total cost of that. It's not worth it after ~12 years. I'm exiting and would recommend the career path to very few, even with interest.
It is possible, but I doubt it will gain any major adoption.
Well, now I manage to have lunch with my wife every day. I prefer that.
One day I saw my mom watching her tv as it was flickering from a bad bridge rectifier. Mom! Can't you see your TV is flickering?? She was totally unaware of this happening. I convinced her to get a new tv. She watched the new TV just like the old one. Completely unaware that either one was producing a bad signal.

Most people cannot tell they are being hypnotized. Does it matter? Yes, it absolutely does matter!
Other good reasons aside, I care because it can also affect how my work and risks become altered. I have friends in healthcare who live in divided teams - ones vaxxed and others not. The ones who are not - openly avoid and channel all Covid positive patients to the ones who are - under the pretense that they have better protection. That's unfair. Those who chose to vaxx didn't also sign up to carry increased exposure frequency and risk as a side-effect. This ominous behavior easily translates to other scenarios outside of healthcare. Retail workers who are vaxxed are steered exclusively to people facing roles because those are riskier. Travel necessary, let those who got vaxxed take those trips. Whether we like it or not, individual vaxx status affects us all since it influences behavior and decisions because of its effect on risk determination at the individual and collective level.
