What makes you think they do? You think you could use something, that doesn't mean a stranger owes it to you.

If you change seats to get away from someone on a bus, do you tell them why? If not, how would you feel if they followed you and said you embarassed them and you owe them an explanation?

You can attend school, just not public schools. Private schools are free to not require vaccines.
Public school students don't have the ability to work from home. The closest equivalent, homeschoolers, aren't required to provide vaccine info.

sure, but some of the largest and most important ecosystems which contribute a lot to the overall stability of the earth are being completely obliterated.

> one’s chances of dying or being disabled for years or permanently are much higher.

What is "much higher" in a number?

> If one doesn’t take the vaccine there is a significant chance they give the virus to someone else, killing them.

"Significant" would depend on their lifestyle, would it not? Are the rural unvaccinated as "significant" as the urban unvacinnated?

> Civic responsibility isn’t brought up much these days.

Not everyone has the same idea of what civic responsibility should be, which is probably why we have to write and then enforce laws.

What a beautiful victory for the underdog, Anna Kiesenhofer!

> Van Vleuten later confessed to “mixed feelings.” She was proud of her beautiful silver medal— the first of her career—but she sounded frustrated by the confusion and the lack of race radios to give clarity about what was going on.

> Bronze medalist Elisa Longo Borghini of Italy, however, said she knew a solo rider had successfully crossed beforehand.

> “I knew that I was third,” she said.

It's hard for me to sympathize with the silver medalist lamenting lack of situational awareness as an impediment to going for the gold.

Isn't the Olympics about discovering for the max of human performance (especially in enduro sports like cycling)? If she could've worked harder, maybe she should have instead of hanging out with the P-mob.

I'm using FF all the time (except on iOS); in fact, right now as I type. I guess the reason I'm using Chromium for videochat and customer/work-related collaboration is so that I can close Chromium when I'm done for good ;) and continue browsing on FF for the stuff I care about with many windows and tabs open. Also, I can just nuke credentials for customer-related access when I no longer need those.

Maybe I'm burnt by having FF experienced getting slower over time with script-heavy pages (memory or resource leaks?) in the past, and don't want to loose my browsing sessions? It's a moot point anyway since I don't consider collaboration/videochat apps part of the web, so in the end why not have "web" developers target Chrome if they absolutely want to depend on Google. It'll always be more work to target multiple browsers, and developers/bosses will always find arguments to reduce the effort and suck that is browser development/testing. For me, that isn't what the (extant) web is about; there's a reason that a browser, like an MP3 player, used to be more like a decoder/media player rather than all things to all people. I found that, with few exceptions, quality of content I care about correlates inversely with the amount of JavaScript crap on a page/app.

> previous dudes seemed to have no idea about history or their mind was missing the logic skill

I'm getting less and less sure you're qualified to judge that as we go.

> Btw China is a big economy and many of HNers tell me that their are communists and the party dictates everything etc, so you need some other skillful argument to attribute all the good in China to US and capitalism and of-course blame all the bad on communism.

They're economically very capitalist with stock markets, free enterprise, billionaires etc. Having a totalitarian government has not been all bad for them, which is not an endorsement of such a system. However, communism very clearly failed for China, and the story did not change until they abandoned it - at which point that had a success story every bit as impressive as that of South Korea.

> Also I personally believe that most of us understand by communism is not superior to the systems we see in Western Europe, my objection was to your bad argument that there are good clean data where you can extract clear conclusions.

How much more data do you need to see before you can have a clear conclusion? You've got literally 40 case studies, roughly 20 of them independent "experiments", and 100% failure rate. Seriously, it's case closed already. This is not something reasonable people can disagree on. It's the economic equivalent of trying to argue the Earth is flat.
yeah, I'm very far from being right-wing or anti-vaccine or anything like that, but I've been unsettled by this whole thing. I don't think there are microchips in the vaccine, and it's probably a good idea to get the vaccine, but this level of control + lack of responsibility is a perfect recipe for negligence-caused disaster. Or even intentional disaster. Plus it seems quite a bit like it could be one of those slippery-slope situations.

Ideally, companies would create a vaccine as fast as possible(but safely, without being immune from lawsuits - especially if negligence or malice can be 'proven', why make someone immune from consequence then?) because that's always going to a profitable endeavor anyway. And people would be smart enough to get the vaccine and take precautions about spreading dangerous diseases. I don't know what the right solution is, given that we don't live in such a reasonable world

What if we built a device that could trace a particle from your car's exhaust and could tell you if that particle lodged itself in someone's lung at just the right moment to cause a stroke? Or how about a device that could trace the germs from when you skipped washing your hands for at least 20 seconds with a lather because you were late to your 1 on 1 with your boss, which then caused your elderly neighbor to catch an infection? Or what about sensors that could tell if your inadvertent non-intentional stink eye at someone with social anxiety was the trigger to push their mental distress beyond the point of no return? Or how about that coworker who you promised would be a hero for taking the vax, who then convinced their son to get it, who then contracted a heart issue soon after? Would you take responsibility for that?
> Pfizer should be able to profit from the vaccine

Government-mandated vaccine from a private supplier. What could possibly go wrong.
FWIW, the strongest programmer on the team was the guy with the physics degree.
I have not heard of a surge in cases among the unvaccinated, actually. Do you have a cite? All data I've seen points to a 90%+ effectiveness of Pfizer vs. Delta for infection, and it looks like more than 99% vs. death. It's MUCH MUCH MUCH safer to face potential infection with the vaccine than without.
>I get a world tilting thing maybe once a year. Usually while falling asleep.

I think this is very common and occasionally experienced by most people, including myself. Typically when you're on the border between being awake and falling asleep.

>I also sometimes get this weird perceptual thing where objects look huge, again, normally while in a dark room.

Haven't experienced this one, but perceptual distortions in a dark environment shouldn't be a concern, I think. I definitely get thrown off sometimes. It's natural, since your brain is constantly trying to predict what should be there, and ambiguous signals due to limited light can throw a wrench into that, especially if you're not habituated to the light conditions.

>I've also had odd sensations that accompany these perceptual changes.

Could there be a nocebo effect? After learning about seizure auras, it's possible that when these things happen, you might enter a brief positive feedback loop where aura-like things could psychogenically manifest. Was this also the case before you learned about such things?

Ethanol-inclusion fuels would require both airframe and engine modification and re-certification, which would probably be more difficult (read: slower) to accomplish than what GAMI just got over the finish line.

The industry and FAA have been working on this a very long time. I’m not happy with the pace of progress and not demanding “nothing changes”, but I give them credit that they’ve thought and worked 100x longer and harder on the topic than everyone in this HN comment page combined.

I think this is the best technical solution of the ones proposed and publicly tested. I’ve visited the GAMI test stand and gotten a demo of their operation and followed their progress over the last decade. I hope that this now goes quickly from “only Lycoming 172s” to include my and all other avgas-burning airplanes.
I'm not an antivaxxer, I did in fact receive one dose of AZ. All other vaxinations up to date. Flu shot almost every season.

The vague tweet above and the announcement yesterday from fauci about the titer levels suggest this is something to watch for because it could be ADE causing high or higher levels in the vaccinated. If it is ADE, this vaccine program would have to be halted.
Yes. Authorize or Cloudflare is having issues. Not fun. Most of my other Cloudflare websites had a short blip but are working fine now, so I don't know why Authorize.net is still having trouble.
Hard to say, as you pointed out, Whatapp runs on Erlang, and despite their upstream patches, no BEAM based framework is competitive on the techempower benchmarks.

But let's not forget, AWS SimpleDB was written in Erlang, as well as the first iteration of Facebook Messenger.

I invested a decent amount of time in learning Elixir and Erlang and understanding BEAM. My personal takeaway, which seems to be mirrored by every big company, is that the ecosystem just isn't worth the investment.
The only person who seems to have personal stake on Laravel is you. No mainstream backend framework make you have your infra managed in k8s. There lots of reason to not use Laravel or PHP (or ruby on rails, or django, ...) in general. "It won't beat Laravel" , why? That's like saying to Django maintainers: give up what you are doing , because you will never beat Spring/Actix/.... Laravel might be useful for people who want to go the PHP route, but most people don't(save the wordpress sites fallacy). Also benchmarks put Laravel, and even Lumen in the bottom of the list (https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ ), I get the appeal of Laravel, and I have used it in the past. But is not like the only and must have solution for all problems.

The mechanism of action of the Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca vaccines is DNA, which is effectively like mRNA but with a couple of extra steps with their own risk attached. I think there's some suspicion that the blood clotting issues with the AZ vaccine were due to errors in the DNA to mRNA transcription causing erroneous and dangerous proteins to be produced. There's not really any traditional inactivated vaccines in widespread use against Covid at the moment.
> . The price of rebuilding all general aviation engines to take lower octane fuel (or possibly ethanol, which has very high octane but a few caveats) has got to be FAR less than the public/mental health burden of allowing leaded avgas.

Engines are _already_ rebuilt based on number of hours flown. If it was this easy, the cost would be simply absorbed into normal maintenance.
You'd have to build something like the Apple T2 chip.

I appreciate the explanation, but it doesn't really seem to justify making the distinction.

Calling all emotions axiomatically good, but also saying that they are "unhealthy" if they're "inappropriate responses" still seems unnecessary.

The last paragraph really nails it. Especially in these online spaces, how you say something and tailor your voice to specific communities sometimes matters more than your content. No amount of downvoter commentary is going to capture that.

It seems like a lot of opposition to downvotes comes from people who take them personally. The internet is fickle and often dumb, don’t let fake points push your emotional state around. This is coming from someone who likes to share unpopular positions and, as a result, spends a lot of time thinking about fake points.
1.) The "success story" they're speaking about is the broader vaccination requirements that have been around for far longer than COVID.

2.) You mean the surge in cases that are seeing vaccinated people faring statistically far better than the un-vaccinated? I don't think that it was ever a secret that the vaccine wasn't going to be bulletproof or capable of complete success against all variants, especially variants that didn't exist at the time of development.
Yeah. I've made this point to friends too. In some sense covid sits at exactly the pessimal spot. Any less severe, and we'd have just let it roll over us without the societal breakdown. Any more severe and the mitigation strategy couldn't have become a political issue.

Maybe there's a side-channel attack where we can convince the conspiracy folks that this actually is a Chinese bioweapon designed to destroy the political cohesion of the west, so they should get on board and get their shots. Think it'd work?
The ESP32 never ceases to impress me. They're ridiculously cheap and low power, and the fact that they're able to emulate a PC operating system just makes them even cooler.

Is there something specific that comes to mind when you speak of this knowledge and data on vaccines that makes you so assertive or are you just paraphrasing something you may have heard elsewhere?
I don't understand. There is no CGNAT in IPv6. You can do NPT (network prefix translation) if you really wanted, but why would you let users share the same IPv6 address/prefix as it is too much work (and not needed in any realistic setup).
I've found that it can take longer than 15 minutes to get back in the groove. There is certainly something that happens while coding, i.e. "being in the zone". In my experience, it can take some time to get back to that high productivity, high focus zone. Getting back to a low or medium productivity is easier.

Although I agree that just because there's a meeting in the afternoon, it's not like you can't start something big (could also start something small, or chunk up the big task), however, I think the article still has something useful to remind managers, even today.

It shows what you type on screen. For example, if you press Ctrl-C, it shows that on the screen. It’s useful for screencasts.
I see - "wallowing" implies different parties and motives than the more normal concept of getting outrage-driven clicks. However, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with outrage media. It's a pretty reasonable thing to report on, and it's reported on pretty reasonably. It's both important and interesting, so the fact that it is also outrageous seems irrelevant to the implication that it shouldn't be observed or commented on. You might make an argument that nothing old should be posted, and I would disagree, but that too seems like an argument unrelated to whether or not something is outrageous merely for the sake of getting clicks.
Domains are less scarce than addresses. By design you can create as many subdomains as you like. (e.g. `abc.spam.com` is too low-rep? Now let's try `def.spam.com`...) You might imagine negative reputation to travel up to parent domains, but that causes problems with public suffixes and TLDs. (e.g. is `microsoft.com` a bad domain because it's got the same TLD as `spam.com`?)

The whole point of using a scarce identifier is to allow for a "neutral" reputation for new identifiers. If identifiers are less scarce, then known-bad actors can get free reputation (from bad to neutral) by just starting over with a new one. Which means that you have to distrust neutral reputation more. Without some level of scarcity of identification, introductions don't really work, because I have no idea if the new host I'm being talked to from today is just the one I banned yesterday wearing a different mask. This ultimately implies e-mail moving to some kind of federated whitelist system rather than the current system of federated blacklists.
I assumed it was using the "export" but that makes sense
So vaccine holdouts get the benefit of remote work while those who are trying to do right by society have to suffer in the office?

> What is "much higher" in a number?

The Pfizer vaccine as I believe 94% effective against severe disease, so around 20x higher.
It's not obvious from the page how much calculus it can do, and if it can solve algebraic equations. Or how much linear algebra it can do.
> If you aren't vaccinated you can't attend school.

Unless you get an exemption, which can be requested and are often granted on a variety of grounds.

> We requires our citizenry to be vaccinated against major preventable diseases. We always have.

We clearly don't, though. As a citizen you can be entirely unvaccinated and live a completely normal life.
ADE may only occur when immunity wanes though and we may just be at the start of this period. Also ADE can occur for some variants but not necessarily all.

And we would hope they would share data on blood titers very soon between these groups because yes, blood titers are more accurate and definitive.
They raised $100M. Would be $50 million per GIMP developer.
None of that, it just looks like the floor is tilted forward. It doesn't feel like it though. It's a very odd visual distortion.

I noticed while at the eye doctor when testing different lenses I guess he could recreate the feeling by using incorrect magnification on one eye? Making my brain thing the room is tilted left or right.

Unrelated, anybody ever feel like they lost consciousness for 250ms? Super rare, but I get the feeling that I feel asleep and all my muscles went limp in that moment. It's like when you are falling asleep and you sometimes jerk yourself back awake.
