I've definitely had similar feelings in Half Life 2: Deathmatch. I'm particularly fond of "low grav high kill" servers due to the fast pace (the low gravity enables a lot more movement around the map, and the "high kill" - i.e. weapons buffed / health nerfed such that getting hit by anything results in instant death or close to it - ups the stakes). Unfortunately, such servers often feature "sniper" maps, wherein players "in the know" will scramble to find the "hidey holes" and repeatedly slaughter any of us unfortunate schmucks.

It got to the point that on such servers I'd protest by refusing to use guns at all and used a crowbar and grenades exclusively. Not sure if anyone really took note of what I was protesting against, but it sure got me on top of some monthly crowbar kill leaderboards :)
Companies can mandate no smoking as a condition for entering their buildings. Is this also an example of the company having an unreasonable say in what happens with your body?
What's really missing is a "meh" button, meaning "this was a waste of time".

I'd have clicked it.
That's a good idea but first we should fix ourselves. Daily we produce so much toxins that ultimately harm the animals, so if we want to fix anything we should fix ourselves.
Nah, airborne viruses affect the community so you can't leave it up to personal preference. It's similar to how a house fire can spread to neighboring houses regardless of the homeowner's preference to have it put out or not.

For example, in my area two years ago, measles made a return because of anti-vaxxer Facebook mommy groups. I needed to bring my days-old infant to the pediatrician for checkups all the while knowing measles lingers in the air for two hours and a pediatrician's office is the most likely place to harbor the virus. Fun times as a parent and a big shout out to all the selfish people endangering newborns with literally no immune system based on junk "science" when the facts are overwhelmingly clear in favor of vaccines.
If they are safe, then there is no reason the vax makers should be protected from liability then.
At the moment we could be mandated to take something yet have no recourse if something happens down the line.
The documentation required for approval was submitted by the pharma companies a long time ago. Many experts, including some previous FDA commissioners have stated these vaccines should have been approved by now given the data submitted. The current FDA commissioner has said it will take until January, without explaining why it's taking them so long.
Unlike COVID, HIV isn't a respiratory infection that easily spread through breathing droplets exhaled by infected persons. Do you now see how the difference in the transmissibility affects what would be considered reasonable policy between the two diseases?
I believe they're recommending setting your phone up in a "lock immediately upon sleep; require password after five minutes" configuration.

Passwords are better than biometrics for security; but between password validations, presuming some level of convenience is needed, using biometrics to check that the same person is still there is better than "just stay unlocked for a few minutes even after being put to sleep".

It's like HTTP Basic Auth (sending credentials with every request), vs. logging in, receiving a short-lived session cookie, and then sending that session cookie with your requests for a few minutes.
Delta also presents a risk of breakthrough infection for vaccinated people.

And that seems likely to lead to the development of new strains against which the current vaccines are ineffective, as the virus mutates in vaccinated people.

I'm vaccinated myself, but I don't count on that providing protection for long. I expect it to be more like the flu, for which yearly vaccines are required against whatever strains are expected to be common that year.
The aerial view says otherwise:

I was a first time author and they were a big publisher, should have pushed back on it. Mentally it knocked me off my horse for a bit in making good progress on the book.
the 'funny' factor is totally unnecessary.. "yes" "no" or "somewhat" would have been much better and straightforward if you wanted to convey some information about the ipv6 status of these sites.
It might be worth noting that FAANG companies with huge campuses have medical offices on campus, so I'd assume employees aren't showing their proof of vaccination to a random person, but to some sort of medical professional who I'd think is bound by HIPPA.
Lead accumulates in the body poisons you for far longer than the other chemicals you mention.

Even with relative to the particular effects on health, you really can't compare lead and those others. Lead was really the worse.
This is a concerning argument. We have laws regarding labor for a reason. "I just decided to pay you below the minimum wage and not give you any days off" has not been considered acceptable for decades despite the employees being "free to leave if they do not like the new policies".

Edit: I am arguing against the argument itself in general. Not specifically for the vaccine case.
Running a communication server at home is inherently a bad idea. I have done so for a some years and switched to a Hetzner VM just with this service some time ago and it feels much better.

One of the problems with a server at home is connectivity, because every second your service is not reachable, you are not serving your users well. In general, I would say that I have a very stable connection, but once a year or so I have to disconnect the internet connection for some reason and it doesn't feel right to steal your friends and family the possibility to exchange messages. Furthermore, I had some trouble with the dynamic DNS from time to time, which always caused the communication service to fail.

In addition, my backup strategy wasn't very sophisticated and at some point I had to search 200GB of data (broken filesystem) in order to restore the contact roster of all people on the server (the last backup was a few weeks old)...

So if you really want to, do it, but if you ask me, my clear advice is to run communication services at some professional hosting partner.
Why would I afraid of hanging out in close proximity with unvaccinated individual if I'm vaccinated ?
Threading is on the roadmap and should be coming Soonish (prototypes of it are already implemented in Dendrite, matrix.org's beta server).

Until then, it does support Reply messages similar to Discords.
Unfortunately this sounds highly plausible. :(
What problem? They would continue working from home I would assume.
The big issue with California and predators is in what they end up eating in the suburbs: trash and poisoned rats. A lot of businesses in CA have a box in the back full of rat poison. The rat eats that then walks off and dies someplace, the coyote/couger/bear/owl/hawk/vulture finds the carcass, eats the poison, and also dies. There aren't many sources of high quality food in CA suburbs for predators. You don't get large populations of deer, like in suburbs out east that were clearcut from forest, since suburbs in CA are developed out of farmland or pasture or oil fields generally and there isn't much habitat surrounding most of these developments that support larger game populations like out east (compare satellite imagery of Sacramento to Cleveland and see how stark the differences in forest cover are in CA vs a typical eastern city.

> If we get there, the whole browser ecosystem collapses, and the open web is in very serious trouble.

I'm not so sure about that. It doesn't seem to me that users are demanding ever more features in their browser. I'm personally just interested in relatively dumb websites, and the only features that could improve the experience is those that improve speed (so I did see some features on the list I wish Safari added, but not many).

And I'm not sure that approach is even sustainable in the long term. How big should the collection of web standards be? Maybe it's come to a point where it's good that a browser holds back a bit? I think that makes it easier for Firefox to keep up with the common standard. It's clear that they're a few years behind on a lot of things, but if Apple really tried Firefox could be the one browser that was always behind, and since nobody is really encourage to use it by any big corporation, it could easily die. I make a point of supporting Firefox on my Windows devices (and it's my back-up browser for Mac as well).

I think the Web being such a gigantic standard that only one or two big megacorporations has the chance to make a browser engine for is much worse for the open web, than Safari lagging a few years behind.
I'm pretty confident that AWU supports this policy.
Like I said, it’s really quite a stretch to conclude that “Arabs sided with the Nazis” because of the arguably inconsequential positions of one individual — from the small Palestinian subset of the middle-eastern Arab population. Mind you these meetings occurred at the tail end of the war to discuss the forced migration of European Jews to Palestine.

Anyhow, what makes this feel like such a low misrepresentation are the historical facts that Arabs were taking in the Jewish victims and refugees that the Nazis were forcing out of Germany while the Europeans and Americans were refusing them.
The platform that the RAV4 uses (TNGA-K) was also designed with hybrid in mind, yet the compromises still had to be made for the larger battery that the PHEV version requires. The larger battery has to go somewhere, so I suspect the situation for the Ford Maverick won't be so different if they do come out with a PHEV version.
And 6 months from now it's booster shot or no more employment. Same with 6 months after that.

Use your heads, this isn't supposed to end.
But there's also evidence it presents a significant risk for people who were vaccinated against the earlier variants too.
Vaccines that are under EUA status?

This one is different. In my country in 2018, deaths caused by the flu was more than 50% of all registered Corona deaths. Just that season alone.

Now some wants to mandate Corona vaccines, but then what about flu vaccines ?
> Well, that's my own prerogative.

Does this also imply that you will be responsible for the cost of your own choices, and that you will not infect anyone else and not interact with the public?
I don’t understand why safari gets so much hate. Personally, I prefer it over all of the other browsers I have tried:chrome, ie, edge, Firefox, brave, opera, etc

You can't fit the bigger address into the v4 address field, on the wire or in API/ABI. Also, conflating them would bring massive confusiin when v6 and v4 hosts can't reach the same addresses.
They say stolen several times but seem to lean towards calling it “leaking”. That said, the letter from Apple seems to reference trade secrets rather than theft of property.

As far as mandates are concerned, it's far easier to prove vaccine-based immunity.

The questions I have about natural immunity is:

1) how "strong" is it relative to the vaccines in use?

2) how variable is it?

3) how to you prove it?

4) and how expensive would that be at scale?
It's not about performance but open standards.

You can; Hetzner Cloud has private networks.
It's not?

For example, "Did a nuclear power plant meltdown in Kansas yesterday?"

We use science for all sorts of stuff like that.
I agree. Its a coin flip. We don't know what the long term effects of COVID are, we don't know what the long term effects of the vaccine are. I'd argue that we know more about what COULD happen with the vaccine long term and I'd rather place my bets on that. The alternative is hiding away for 20+ years and not getting vaccinated or contracting COVID, obviously not feasible.

You shouldn't be willing to have any shot if that's your perception of the threat level. Why create a back door when you're literally opening a front door through the shot? Who gives a shit if it claims to be mRNA or not in that scenario?

Don't breathe unfiltered air either. Why not just distribute this backdoor as an aerosol?
I think the C172-only limitation is clearly interim. GAMI's been burning this in testing for a decade or so. Now, put it into a lot of low-powered trainers. Based on that experience, expand it to other engines and airframes.

The end game is an all-models STC; this is an interim step (and a massive one to get the FAA to go from zero-to-one approved models).
> Nope. Ever thought about gardening instead?

I'm not really a backend/server person... Is this an inside joke that I just don't understand?
You are correct that there have always been really bad years (that chart doesn't go back very far but look up the great burn of 1910). However total size is effected by us getting better at fighting them.

What has changed is that the fires burn hotter and so fully destroy vegetation and even seeds with intense heat which makes it much harder for the forests to regrow in the way they typically would in a "fire adapted ecosystem": https://www.cpr.org/2020/09/01/colorado-wildfires-forests-re...
> What other car makers has self driving capabilities [...] and has cameras around the car?

Very nearly every luxury car on the market has that stuff and has had it for years.

Mercedes has had speed-adjusting cruise control since 1999, complete with auto-stopping since 2005, for example. Before Tesla ever even made a vehicle at all. Most other auto makers are just vastly more responsible in how they brand their self-driving capabilities than Tesla, but they pretty much all have them.

Tesla's "industry leading" innovations are really scoped to a few key things - the electric powertrain, massive in-car displays that replace switchgear (debatable if this is actually an innovation or just a cost-cutting measure, though), and OTAs.
You raise good points.
I'll just counter this: you say currently and that's a very important word. Currently things are good in tech, in fact never have been better. Almost any startup with half decent product raises tens, often hundreds of millions of dollars with ease. With this loose finance (the causes of which are the low interest rate) of course paying a lot for developers doesn't matter much.
I'm talking about a scenario in which if (when?) a lot of hot air is released from this bubble. This will terminate many companies that don't really produce much and will cause the rest to cut costs aggressively. I guess something similar to the dot com bubble only I think this time it will be worse.
I do agree with you though that if the abundance of money continues, for the reasons you listed the current dynamic will probably prevail.

After reading what I just wrote I fully realize this is one of those things that is impossible to predict and pointless to worry about. It can happen tomorrow, in 10 years or maybe never.
Like Matomo? https://matomo.org/
Many web developers I know constantly complain about Safari. While nowhere close yet, it's slowly inching towards the annoyance levels of IE.

It seems like the WebKit team was relying a lot on Google contributions, and the Blink fork (in 2013) was the starting point for a slow but steady decline.

Apple is swimming in money, yet they apparently can't staff their Safari team enough to keep up with Firefox, which notoriously lags behind Chrome. Not just feature wise but with stability and polish. Eg the flexbox implementation was extremely buggy for years.

I do believe part of it might be strategic to prevent webapps from becoming too useful on mobile, but that can't be the whole story.

Yes, this is a good solution, as long as everyone agrees on the days, sounds like it should work.
How useful would that book (IPv6 Address Planning) be to someone not working specifically in networking/ops? I like developing applications and i manage, of course, my home network.

I'd love a book that gives me everything i need to know about IPv6. From justifications, to things to know when working with it, implementing it, using it in my local network, etc.

I don't perhaps need or care to learn it at a super low level, but i do want a complete understanding of it for my specific use cases. Applications and home networks, i imagine. For a novice in networks, to be clear.

Thoughts?

Death is one thing.

Then, there seem to be long term side effects from having the Covid-19 disease that one would not risk having from the vaccines. Because this is such a sensitive topic, I will refrain from sharing more information or links.

But, between the known problems of Covid, including risk of death and risk of infecting other potentially more vulnerable people on one hand, and no evidence of serious problems from the vaccines on the other hand, the choice is simple, in my books. I may be proven wrong in the future, but I have to act based on information I have currently, and I have to act relatively fast.
There isn't a PHEV version of Maverick yet, but I'm sure there will be since the platform is shared with Ford Escape which has a PHEV. Notably, the PHEV Escape loses storage space compared to its hybrid and pure combustion siblings. PHEVs need batteries an order of magnitude bigger in size and capacity compared to regular hybrids and they need to go somewhere.

Using skateboard batteries for PHEV would help mitigate the packaging issues for PHEVs, but then you're still stuck hauling around a combustion engine and all the design compromises that entails like long, tall hoods filled with components.

Skateboard batteries mean deep, expensive changes to platforms, the kind automakers only do every decode or so. With the cost of batteries plummeting and emissions rules like EU7 coming, most companies have chosen to focus their development dollars on pure EVs and cheaply retrofit their PHEVs on to existing ICE platforms.
I don't think anyone should be absolutely sure one way or another, but China is a pretty big place and the country only has two labs at that level. Coincidences happen, yes, but this one seems pretty unlikely.
I wouldn't compare a vaccine to a no smoking rule, it's not the same.

Bear in mind that eating muscle tissue from infected animals is a much lower risk than innoculating yourself directly with brain matter from an infected animal.

The prion protein is expressed in the central nervous system, which isn't legal for human consumption. Also, ingestion of meat exposes it to stomach acid and digestive enzymes before it gets into the consumer's circulation -- enzymes that break down foreign proteins into (harmless) amino acids.

In contrast, accidentally injecting yourself with material from an infected brain is about the most direct possible infection route.
If I infect another unvaccinated person... so what? They made their choice as well. The vaccine is widely available enough now that anyone that doesn't have it chose not to get it (or they have an exceedingly rare medical reason)
Apparently 67.6% of India has SARS-CoV-2 antibodies [1]. This can't be attributed to vaccination since nowhere near that percentage of India has had a vaccine for it.

Which is why we are basically back to the 80's with commercial software and demo versions.

With the difference that demo versions are no longer time limited, and even with the demo version there is code available instead of being an option on the commercial product.

Companies just call it open source instead, regardless of what is stated at OSI website as definition.
There are more severe breakthrough cases in vaccinated individuals than there are deadly outcomes to getting vaccinated. Also there's the risk that even a mild case has long term side effects.

Since the number of deadly outcomes or side effects to the vaccine is so low the breakthrough cases in vaccinated individuals become significant when you compare the risks.
