> 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?

> Regarding evidence for "spooky things", well, by their nature there is no or little evidence for them. They are black swans and the means by which they are addressed is the precautionary principle. In particular, by their nature, there can be no evidence about presence or absence of long term effects of novel delivery mechanisms.

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.

It's like never investing in the stock market because one day something might happen and cause something to happen. It doesn't make any sense.

> Personally speaking, I suspect I'm a lot better off being vaccinated than not but some of the credulity around vaccines is rather surprising to me (especially the fact that many people don't seem to know that J&J uses a novel delivery mechanism too).

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.

My comment did the exact thing you had already complained about, and my footnote was explicitly addressing the reason for this gap.

It's an incredibly bizarre look to lash out childishly because you can't follow the conversation well enough to remember what you wrote in your previous comment.
I like "...the discovery of such problems is inhibited by the common focus on throughput performance".

That was my first thought when I read an essay about "throughput computing" from Sun Microsystems circa 2000... That is, corporations measure and manage throughput, but customers experience latency.
You might not agree with what is stated, but the final paragraph is full of clarifications of interests.

We're about to go through another spike in cases in the US because of the Delta variant spreading through the unvaxed population. This has implications for vaccinated people.

We may need to reintroduce some lockdown rules and the Delta variant is still going to kill some vaccinated people (in much lower numbers, but unnecessary).
As a non-SF resident, doing useful research inspired by 'google the current DA' is pretty laborious. I found https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Chesa-Boudin-San-Fra... which seems sensible on the face of it, and doesn't sound at all like he's "ensuring that criminals run rampant throughout the city".

The general problem of media assuming good-faith information from police is widespread and SF is no different from any other location in the US (or Canada for that matter).
Curious. This was 2010 and 2011 in Texas and California. Looks like the pre-existing condition rules went into effect in 2014, https://www.hhs.gov/healthcare/about-the-aca/pre-existing-co... - I wasn't denied care because of any, but I assume they used them to price the plan for the employer.

The 2010 plan also had a lifetime max benefit limit, which has now been removed.

Or it could just be some plans are more privacy-invasive than others. But I hope not, it was nice to be able to stop filling out those forms.
The low Ipv6 domain adoption is due (in my opinion)

To not every one have Ipv6 so in your dns you need to have ipv4,to not lost this audience.

After it can be related to protection system like waf.
The majority of isp give a /60 cidr to every one so it's easy to have a lot of ip. Some company like cloudflare have a mapping system from Ipv6 to ipv4 (of course with a lot of collision) and low number of procetion service provide a good detection system for Ipv6 one
So majority of system in customer stack is not ready for Ipv6

I can understand you will not consume some time for low number of benefits.

(Ipv6 it help a bit all tracking system )
I'll take that as a no.
There was one year where I got three raises to double my income. I came into that corporate employment as a design before I was involuntarily transferred to a developer role without a raise. A year later I was selected for a military deployment to Afghanistan, where I continued developing by starting a personal project. When I came back to my corporate employer I got a raise for being off the low end of the pay scale. A few months later I was promoted to senior which came with another raise. Shortly after that another group made me an offer and my current employer gave me a third raise to stay put.

Agree. Also forbidding access to work, restaurants, theaters, child day care etc to non-vaccinated should be a preference of their owners or the government

If somebody thinks vaccines just protect themselves, now that's a real idiot, because it is not how they work. They work by preventing you from spreading an illness that could kill other people, specially those that for any given (serious) reason cannot be vaccinated.
None of that is actually true though?

> It simplifies aspects of address configuration

I assume this is referring to SLAAC? SLAAC is...fine. Most managed networks will want the extra control offered by DHCP though and DHCPv6 is currently in a much much worse state than DHCPv4. Also a single interface having at least 2, usually 3 or more (link-local, autogenerated, privacy) v6 addresses on the network is definitely not simpler in any way. Also clients still have not figured out which configuration methods they should actually support - Linux network managers generally default to SLAAC-only and DHCP needs to be explicitly enabled, for Windows setting managed flag in RA works, I believe. Android does not support DCHPv6 at all.

> network renumbering and router announcements when changing network connectivity providers.

Absolutely not. Network renumbering is a breeze when all you need to change is the public address of your gateway and the local network keeps the same local addresses. Prefix translation is awful and no firewalls have good tools to handle changing your v6 prefix.

> It simplifies processing of packets in routers by placing the responsibility for packet fragmentation into the end points.

With respect to fragmentation - yes, but overall this statement is blatantly false. v6 packet processing by routers is much much harder due to the variable length headers.

> The IPv6 subnet size is standardized by fixing the size of the host identifier portion of an address to 64 bits.

Ok, this one is true. Not entirely sure why the author considers this better, but sure, I'll agree.
Looks very nice! I will have to try it. Do you have plans to announce it to matrix.org's This Week In Matrix (TWIM) updates? If you're looking for more testing and feedback I'm sure you'll get some from the visibility there.
Because people are rightfully hesitant to believe anything suspected liars tell them they need to do. The science is far from settled and Google banning doctors for discussing amongst themselves is as big of a red flag as can possibly exist.

If you ask most people on the right how the virus has affected them, their friends or family, they'll tell you the lockdowns and mandates have been 100x more harmful to their entire community, family and friends than the virus has been. This is an extremely common response.

Although I have all my vaccines and "believe" in their effectiveness and general safety, I am very much against mandating vaccines broadly across our society, whether in public services (like schools, colleges) or private companies. I feel it violates our fundamental right to health privacy and bodily autonomy. Everyone has different personal assessments of risks and benefits, levels of trust in private companies that supply vaccines, levels of trust in governmental agencies that certify treatments, and so on. I feel individuals should be allowed to exercise judgment based on those personal assessments, and that freedom is best retained at the individual level.

I get the argument that vaccines may prevent spreading to others, but I view viruses as a 'background event' like the weather, and don't think one individual should be coerced to undergo a medical procedure to protect another individual. I think those who fear the risks should manage their own risks as individuals, and either wear appropriate clothing (PPE) or limit their own public exposure. But leaving aside these philosophical debates, it seems like the CDC is also now unsure about vaccination reducing spreading, and believes that vaccinated individuals can spread the Delta variant. So why force any individual into vaccination?
The lack of IPv6 support this site shows is mainly due to lack of support from CDNs.

ISP says there's no demand for IPv6 addresses. There's no demand because other people don't have them. Others don't have them because ISPs don't issue them.

It's not circular logic, it's no loose ends.

Reminds me of a story in The Dragon Book. (compiler design book from the 1970s) FORTRAN IV doesn't (didn't) allow arrays with more than three dimensions. Because programmers didn't write programs using arrays with more than three dimensions. Programmers didn't write programs using arrays with more than three dimensions because the compiler didn't allow arrays with more than three dimensions.

> Hippa applies to all and is meant to protect people from discrimination on health matters

No, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is not a workplace anti-discrimination act. You are, while also probably misunderstanding the lower-level details, confusing its basic purpose and function with something else, probably the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Interesting. I have been on various meetings since the beginning of covid with general counsel telling us of all the pitfalls of hippa issues. I wonder if HHS published this specifically to promote clarification. It’s against the wide spread legal opinions that have circulated. Maybe the impending lawsuit is expensive enough that most attorneys are being overly conservative on the advice.

It's because their antibody response is similar to those who got just a single dose of COVID-19 vaccine, which is not enough to protect against Delta variant. I suspect natual immunity played a huge role in prevention of vanilla COVID and Alpha variant but it's not with Delta which probably contributes to the recent spike.

It really depends on the sort/breed/age and so much more.
This just feeds the beliefs that some people have that the vaccines don't really work.

We should be strongly demonstrating that the vaccinated do not need to wear masks, distance, etc so that there are clear benefits to being vaccinated.

If the vaccines reduce the disease to nothing more severe than a cold or mild flu, we should be back to the same daily routines we had when those things were an ordinary risk at the workplace.

PC's didn't have any dedicated sound hardware (unless you had a sound card), so any kind of sound/music playback would have to be done in real-time on the CPU, which didn't leave much for the rest of your game. C64, Amiga, etc. all had dedicated sound chips which could do a lot of the synthesis and mixing without burdening the CPU. (This is the same reason why PCs didn't get side-scrolling games until much later than consoles: consoles had dedicated hardware for scrolling tilemaps and displaying sprites, while PCs just had a memory-mapped framebuffer of pixels.)

Ground leases in Ireland used to be common, but they're transferrable and can generally be converted to freehold for very little money, so they don't have a significant impact on costs. That said, land on Tory Island is presumably ~worthless anyway.

Autoscaling is of course something they can do: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-autoscaling...

If you use life cycle management and data streams (which AWS doesn't have), you'd be able to control the sizes of your hot indices (i.e. the ones you write to). Basically keeping your hot indices small helps keeping things fast. If you have issues with app writes spiking, I'd use some queuing solution in between. Plenty of solutions for that.

The rest is just a matter of configuring things right in terms of number of shards and setting up properly. Basically, you get what you pay for in the end.

What CDNs don't support IPv6?
Neat idea, though it does seem like some users already replicate the experience by using twitter along with some tooling to periodically delete tweets.
I think there's an AD policy that can do this, but there isn't a user-visible option to do it, in the settings "Windows Hello Face" is either on or off.

IPv6 does not need DHCP on L2.

If you even experienced a DHCP clusterfuck, you do start to appreciate the stateless auto-configuration that IPv6 provides.
The idea is that there's SO much address space -- you should never need to consider a question like: "is /60 to /64 enough for all of my subnets?" when planning your network. Subnets should be created because they make sense from an organizational point of view. The amount of available bits shouldn't be a practical consideration.

Also, remember, NAT is highly discouraged, so you'll (maybe) eat up another subnet if you run something like Minikube on a laptop.

> Surely there are other EV efforts that would benefit from Toyota's manufacturing prowess and capacity.

They are not actually that exceptional anymore. At best they are marginally better.

Tesla new architecture of structural cells in a pack connected to massive castings is far better then Toyota EV have.

> Solid hydrogen fuels will be the next wave.

I really don't think that will be the cast.

> Imagine we hit "peak" Li-ion around 2030, producing 75 tWh annually. (Amazing, right?)

> From their website: Storage is 30% lighter, 7% smaller, and 17% less expensive than Lithium-ion battery per kWh.

By the time this technology is even remotely feasible. Li-Air, Li-Sulfer batteries and a whole bunch of other potential chemistries could be ready. All these more advanced chemistries can beat these advantages without issue.

Li-Sulfer battery could be 2-4x as dense ad current LiIon far smaller and far cheaper.

Even current High Nickel Cathode-Silicon Anode that will roll into the market will beat the numbers advertised by the company.

Why would anybody go refuel with solid hydrogen when you can have better range then Tesla Model S with a battery small battery pack you can put in your trunk and a tiny powerful EV motor?

A car based on the technology is simply worst along every single dimension.
I am sorry but you are really quite off. Answer me this, how you would feel if you were an Arab living in Palestine? How would you feel if you had to live in an apartheid system where another person can kill your family or steal your property with more-or-less impunity just because you are an Arab? Now tell me how would you react when you read that Israel precision-bombed an entire family [1] in response to “Hamas rockets from nearby”. Stop dancing around the real problems. Widespread racism. Apartheid policies. Settler colonialism. Systemic injustice. Disproportionate responses. Tell me your solutions to these problems.

I think you assume a lot when you say that people post “from the sidelines”. I would say that given the huge number of Palestinian victims some the people who post on the forums have probably suffered a loss of family/property/livelihood because of the Israelis.

Yes, but if biodiversity loss and changes in the land caused by some action we've taken leads to civilizational collapse, then obviously that's not good for our lives and we should stop doing it. If biodiversity has effects that are good for us, then we should build things with that in mind (I only say "if" here because I have not read much in depth on the effects of lessening biodiversity, although it's pretty obvious how it could be destructive). I support infrastructure that promotes biodiversity, but disagree that we should do it for the animals, we should do it for us.
Letting a contagious pandemic rage in your country is not exactly good for national security reasons.
UK statstics show a 20 factor reduction in hospitalisation rates for vaccinated people vs non vaccinated. However what is not considered in all these statistics is the non-symtomatic cases. If hospitalisation rate is 20 times lower it means also that symtomatic infections are way lower than those detected. In your cited statistics for those 27 cases there would be a lot more not diagnosed at all. The risk here is that although they will pass it without notice they will also risk infecting others-hence the recomandation that vaccinated people still need to use masks. There is a great risk on falling into complancy here if we think vaccination is the silver bullet and is enough.
Are lockers really that secure? Similar documents advise against leaving laptops in hotel rooms or cars, even if locked, because they are easy to get into. I imagine a locker is not hard to break into. Small locks can be picked in a second or two by people with practice, which does not look different than retrieving your own phone.
