> In no world is this statement justifiable. It is obvious

I have an idea. What if we did a randomized control placebo group and compared death rates. That is the gold standard, right? Well they did that, and the placebo group and vaccine group had the same death rate (their next move then was to end the placebo group).

I would be surprised if it turns out the vaccines don't save lives, but I haven't seen any clear cut proof that they are, given that the one experiment that would have proven it conclusively didn't, and then was ended early. So I think it's a perfectly justifiable statement and point of view.
And if you're charged by time spent on a page it makes sense to use a bot to download the pages you want to read and then render them locally.

If I'm paying per second I can download something that would take me 5 minutes to read in 5 seconds, saving me 59/60ths of the cost.
My condolences to your parents and family.
Are we looking at data or this is a media driven anxiety?

I'd assume that they're gonna support ROCm as long as the Frontier deployment at Oak Ridge National Labs is up. ORNLs isn't exactly a customer you want to piss off.
I don't see the practical difference between forcing someone to show self-incriminating evidence and forcing someone to unlock a box in possession of authorities that contains self-incriminating evidence.
Better than just dying and taking the source with it.
The simplest counter argument is that it’s just cheaper to go with hydrogen. People have created this narrative where “efficiency = cost” when in reality it’s more expensive to go that far in efficiency.
Many more are not getting the vaccine because of mis and disinformation. I agree that people should never be forced, but requiring unvaccinated people to take extra safety precautions or mandating vaccines to come back into the office seems like a good idea. There is also a small percentage of vaccinated people that will die of covid due to contact with unvaccinated.
The only NAT between most users and most sites are the users' modem/router combos, and those are pretty fast and reliable.

The book and movie the Irishman comes to mind when I think about people who got away. They never really can keep their mouth shut.

It’s in our nature to tell others who we are and everything we do. It’s why we have social media. It’s our nature.
Clickbait headline, yes. But if both the "liberal" and "right-wing" "solutions" to the problem involve spending thousands upon thousands of dollars to inconvenience the many thousands of homeless people their economic and social system has created, then they're both fundamentally wrong.
Yup, smart money will move in this direction. It’s far too late to try to work against the titanic forces that are in motion. Large scale climate engineering is probably going to be needed.
First impression: very nice look and feel, definitely prettier and much snappier than Element.

It does lack a lot of basic features though (like reply, editing/deleting messages, ...).

Totally understandable, of course, but React apps always tend to be fast early on but slow down as more and more features are added.
It’s on the front page of nearly every major news source nearly every week, it’s pretty hard not to notice. It’s not like people don’t realize something is going on, most just don’t want to think about it that hard. And can you blame them? The average person has approximately no impact on global climate change.
Thank you! The symmetry is most pleasing.
It shouldn't be, but it shouldn't be disallowed.
Governments’ inability to deal with Covid - something that required only a few weeks to months (rather than decades) forethought based on data - is likely a harbinger of how badly we’re going to deal with climate change.

For some reason we seem paralysed and unable to really act until disaster is moments away. Is it politics or just human nature?
Don’t be afraid. All will be fine vaccine was also developed within a year. Global warming is just a measure to transform wealth from the west to shithole countries

The Tech Executive Operating System – Part 1
This is a year ago and isn't technical or the usual HN content. I'm curious why it's ranking. Some sort of current event I missed that's related?
Yep, most up armored Humvee or MRAPs will last less than 10k miles.
It depends. My expectation is that the TPM holds a key that's used for FDE, and if you have a password that password is used to get that key. So the password will only increase security if it's used to encrypt the TPM's key, but if it's just used to authenticate to the TPM, it wouldn't.

Someone more familiar with TPM 2.0 could likely answer this authoritatively, but my assumption is that it's the latter.

Properly leveraging TPM 2.0 features would likely be the best way to solve this problem.
None of those reasons were a public health matter that directly affected other people.

I guess facial recognition systems should allow for a "distress" face that will lock the device being authenticated down further.

Yes, clear violation of a legal order, but it's in the same spirit as TrueCrypt's "hidden volume" feature.
This seems to make sense. I very much doubt the US, Russia, China and a large number of emerging economies are going to make large enough changes to have an impact and they are the main drivers. Seems to make sense to just assume at this point that its coming while working to try and stop it.
What's worse is that, well, just no one is willing to do anything at all about it. Nobody in society is willing to sacrifice anything to stop it. We're still going to drive cars to work, everything disposable is still going to be made of plastic, we're still going to burn coal to power our bitcoin miners, and we're still going to eat large quantities of meat at every meal.

Frankly, it's become very difficult to have anything but a fatalist view of the whole thing.
The US would most likely invest the money, either partially or fully into the war machine.
I disagree with the premise. I'll do a quick analysis on why.

Google Chrome is Google's master plan to remove responsibility from the Operating System and put it into their full control. Of course, they have operating power to move forward 300 APIs at the same time. However, they do it with the main propose of governing the ecosystem where those APIs are pushed (the web).

The only way to be up to date with all those changes is power (operating money).

Firefox is barely able to catch up with all the updates to the standards... there is obviously a burden on what is needed to be implemented for a browser in 2020 vs what was necessary 10 years ago.

However, Apple argument is not about delivering value to their users via a browser, since that's an ecosystem they don't control. They deliver value through their macOS/iOS SDKs, which are ecosystems they fully own.
Apple moves Safari as minimal as possible (regarding new APIs added) to make sure people can still browse, but while still incentivizing their own routes.

This kind of API strategies are everywhere the software touches. From Apple moving Metal forward instead of Vulkan, Microsoft with Directx12. Google with Flutter (towards cross-platform API UI dominance) and so on.

I don't think is a question of what the companies want, but what do their users use.
As long as Safari is the dominant browser in Apple's ecosystem, they will make sure you can max out the value received through other ways that align more with their vision and proprietary APIs.

So, if you consider "Web" what Google is pushing on now, it's clear Safari is not pushing forward in that ecosystem.
But none of them do it for the sake of their users, but their ecosystems
I bring it up anyway - COVID or climate disaster. I mention it in work meetings or with friends/family.

It's a fact of life.

I don't dwell on it - simply note it, then move on with the rest of the discussion. Ignoring the realities you're facing (bad air, threat of evacuation, etc) simply to avoid discomfort seems worse to me.

A dog is not related to antlers. But proof of vaccination is related to vaccination history.
Obviously I would prefer employer to not mandate anything regarding vaccine.

I work from home but manage small sports club. I would never ask anyone for their vaccination status nor requiring them to be vaccinated to join.
Citing new data, Pfizer outlined a case for booster shots
It's all race and im sick of it.
I'm curious, in your mind is someone who wants to be unvaccinated the same as anti-vax? Someone could be unvaccinated and not discourage the vaccinate and simultaneously not want the vaccination for themselves. Would that be an anti-vax position?

full disclosure - I'm vaccinated with moderna.
Invasive ad targeting is bad for journalism and other high-quality publishers
Yeah, probably. But we need to be careful about higher order effects of those interventions. Climates and ecosystems are complex systems, thus, perturbations/linear solutions usually cause unexpected behaviour.

Things like desalination where we aren't disturbing the system is fine. Cloud seeding on the other hand I wouldn't be so comfortable with widespread adoption.
A big reason why CUDA is popular with compilers is that the PTX assembly-ish language is well documented and reasonable.

Compilers generate PTX, then the rest of the CUDA infrastructure turns PTX into Turing machine code, or Ampere machine code, or Pascal machine code.

In theory, SPIR-V should do the same job, but its just not as usable right now. In the meantime, getting it to work on PTX is easier, and then there's probably hope (in the far future) to move to SPIR-V if that ever actually takes off.

I'm not a developer on Triton, but that'd be my expectation.
> > I think the concern is delivery mechanisms that have never, or only rarely, been used before.

> What is this concern based on? That it's new or rarely used? Why would you have prior concern one way or the other?

I didn't originate this conversation so I can't speak for the original commenter, but it seems to me it's worth pausing for thought when a billion people are due to receive a medical intervention of a type that has never been used before.

> This runs into the same problem. And it's even worse because you have a known risk (COVID-19) and a future, unknown and unquantifiable risk with no prior reason to believe such a risk exists and you're opting to defend against that risk instead.

I'm not opting to defend against that risk but nor do I think the calculus is as obvious as you are making out. On the one hand I am very, very glad the vaccines are available because they seem to be significantly suppressing infection numbers and keeping people out of hospital. On the other hand I believe that individuals should not be coerced by their employer into receiving a vaccine.

> Sure, but to be fair not a single one of these people ever questioned any other vaccine delivery mechanism they were getting. Questioning this stuff is new, and it's a deliberate disinformation campaign.

Which people? People have been questioning the safety of vaccine delivery mechanisms for at least 20 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine#False_claims_about...
I did not say any job, I said "a" job. Yes vaccinations will protect other people. Banning alcohol would protect many people, but its a violation of a person's rights to ban it.
I don't see what the big deal is with getting a booster shot? I got the first two shots, call me a sheep but I'd happily take a third.

> Use your heads, this isn't supposed to end.

That's a self-fulfilling prophecy, the lower the vaccination rate the longer the pandemic will last.
The title is pedantic, as were many reactions from older people on French twitter, which is not really surprising. I'd rather have them buy manga from actual living authors compared to things that already fell into the public domain, like Proust or Molière. However that would mean publishers can't get free money by guilt tripping people into consumming the "good" kind of culturen, so that wouldn't work. I do wish this money could be used to buy an e-reader though, you could get one for ~100€ and still have 200€ for whatever you want.
I'm not trying to be rude, but, why are you worrying about it?

From a "the children are our future" perspective, sure, future generations will have a harder time. Poor and coastal communities will be displaced, there'll be economic hardships, and in general life is going to just be harder.

But it's not like we haven't faced hardships before. In fact, it's such a well-known problem that we probably have more solutions (both short-term and long-term) than for any other disaster we might face. Even in the worst case, it's manageable.
My understanding of that is that it's using "square" as in aspect ratio like how screens are 16:9 or whatever, while "square" in units is more commonly used as in `exp(n, 2)`. And that terminology mismatch is why it often doesn't seem to make sense.
Yes, how dare the homeless create a public nuisance. They should remain quietly in the background so prime residents don't have to acknowledge them.
it doesn't matter that much in case of games, because the code is not very useful without assets. famously multiple quakes were released as GPL software and it didn't really cost id software anything in lost sales. art and levels were NOT released as GPL.

i'd say MIT license wouldn't impact the sales outcome at all.

You made it 4 words into your reply before using veiled political language regarding your relationship with whomever you are romantically involved with. "Partner" became common in the mid 80s because it was a way for gay people to refer to their love interests without revealing their gender.

You say that art and love aren't political, but that's only useful when trying to split hairs about the subject.
Come now, macros are just functions over syntax. ;-P

But yes, the only headaches I’ve had have been with hard-to-follow macros.

That said, the Phoenix Framework has some well-chosen macros that are a delight to work with. Furthermore, all these macros are defined in your source when you create a new Phoenix project—I feel that over all there is remarkably little magic in Phoenix, and what magic there is is easily inspectable.

13 One of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?”

14 I told him, “My lord, you know.”

He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb’s blood. 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them. 16 They will never be hungry, neither thirsty any more; neither will the sun beat on them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and leads them to springs of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Rev 11:18 "When the nations got angry, you became angry too! Now the time has come for the dead to be judged. It is time for you to reward your servants the prophets and all your people who honor your name, no matter who they are. It is time to destroy everyone who has destroyed the earth."

The evangelicals assume God doesn't care about the earth, that he gave it to them to do with whatever they like. They might be overlooking something.

The first step is to actually encrypt your drives. Far too few people and places even do this step.

Either use the OS-provided solution (Like LUKS, FileVault, or BitLocker), or use a cross-OS solution like Veracrypt <https://veracrypt.fr/>.

Secondly, to avoid the problem in this article, you should have an external password necessary to unlock the drive; not a TPM. This is, of course, not what most people do, since typing in passwords is tedious.

However, if you mostly need to boot up the laptop when connected to a specific network (e.g. on company premises), and it’s acceptable to require a manually typed password when the laptop is not present at that location, and if you use a Debian-based OS, there is a solution!

It also prevents casual but intentional unauthorized access, just not a determined attacker.

As you note, there are other layers of security for that.
That is about masks with no mention of vaccines, and I hope that any person truly interested in the topic would understand that masks are not settled science.

Vaccines however have bene proven safe and effective over and over and over with virtually no contradictory data. It is settled science (though not all the details obviously).
How many German people under 40 die from thrombosis or suffer myocarditis in an average year? This year, when everyone is getting vaccinated, it's easy to draw unwarranted conclusions that rare conditions are being trigged by the vaccine when it could possibly be just cooincidence.
Note that I'm willing to pay to browse relevant ads, as are a large number of people who buy specialty magazines.

But there's no advertisement broker that provides such a service to web sites. They all follow the google/amazon model of serving irrelevant and annoying batman and travel agency ads, which motivate people to install ad blockers.

Note that (before the intertoobs) there were other products where people were willing to buy ads to browse:

1. the yellow pages

2. newspaper classified ads

3. JC Whitney catalogs

4. Hemmings Motor News

5. all the computer/electronics/hobby magazines

Another method is exemplified by the "Detroit Muscle" car show. It is ostensibly about how to soup up your car. But it's actually an ad platform, as they use various tools and supplies to do the work, and show how to use them. That's what pays for the show and it's why I watch the show. I like ones about how to bend metal and here's the tool that does it. There are shows on how to weld and here's the welder for the job.
You've said it would lead to better discussion. I'm not convinced that's the case. I think flagged and grey comments being filtered out actually helps conversations more often than not. Can we empirically determine which will lead to better communities? Based on my experience than nearly every single community with lax moderation (official moderation and community moderation) turns into a cesspool. There's a reason you're here for conversation after all and not on 4chan.
Mitigation is going to happen no matter what. All of the things you mentioned are already happening as temporary stopgap measures.

The issue is that investing in decarbonization, etc., is both a superior long-term strategy AND it makes all of the mitigation strategies you mention more effective bc the primary effects are not as bad.
Do you have a source for that? All I found indicates that its share of energy production has increased considerably in those years [1].

That's a pure disadvantage against employees. Vaccine mandate is a bit different; it is about employee protection, especially for those subset who cannot get vaccines due to their health conditions.

Honda actually seems to "get it" in Europe and Asian markets and may be on the path to navigating this transition. Honda of America seems the dumb beast too stupid to adapt and there is probably going to be a reckoning when it stops being hugely profitable to build giant gas guzzlers in America. Honda of America seems to have zero foresight or long term plan still.

The Korean car conglomerate is definitely doing well with EVs, but if you are expecting someone to crush Toyota and/or Honda in Asian car sales especially, I'd keep an eye on Chinese EV companies. Some of them are doing wild work, and have got EV car costs down below nearly anyone else in the world with their economies of scale already. If some of those Chinese EV companies come to the American market I'm even curious if it would look just like the Honda/Toyota strategy of the 70s/80s with good value for the money cars that will surprise a lot of Americans that did not know they were looking for that sort of cheap/reliable.
AMD's MI100 is slightly faster than NVidia A100 for double-precision FLOPs at slightly lower costs. Good enough for Oak Ridge National Labs (Frontier Supercomputer), to say the least.

NVidia is faster at 4x4 16-bit matrix multiplications (common in Tensor / Deep Learning stuff), but MI100 still has 4x4 16-bit matrix multiplication instructions and acceleration. Its not far behind, and the greater 64-bit FLOPs is enough to win in scientific fields.
> You're welcome to. However, I'm curious why your question is relevant. I can't articulate a scientific reason that thalidomide caused birth defects, for example.

You're admitting that you don't know or understand the science of either COVID-19 vaccines or thalidomide-caused birth defects (really it's going to be for lots of other medical things too let's face it), so why are you questioning only COVID-19 vaccines and not other things?

Why aren't you waking up tomorrow and saying smoking doesn't cause cancer? Why aren't you skeptical of that claim too?
No but compelling you to use your biometrics to self incriminate is something else altogether.

What makes you think no one owes you an explanation? If they're downvoting you and influencing how visible your comment(s) are I'd argue they do need to explain.

Likewise you seem to need to take your own advice to brainstorm to understand why it is likely to add value to someone else leaving a comment and not simply requiring you to brainstorm and make guesses, e.g. bias and blind spots a person may have; what other possibilities are there?

Edit to add: 2 upvotes then down to -1; it's hilarious how bad and poorly used downvotes are.
