Because of the same reason I read the comments in any HN thread. Often times you will find additional links or insights that are more useful than the source article itself. That's the awesome thing about HN to me. The problem with anything Apple related is that you have to sift through a ton of heavily regurgitated "religious" beliefs to find that nugget of useful knowledge in the comments.

> Adding those two populations together would seem to indicate that most Western populations are already at herd immunity by this point

That's assuming that nobody who got covid later got vaccinated (or got it before the vaccine kicked in). That seems like a very unrealistic assumption to me. On the other side, there are probably a lot more cases than are reported.

You're right that it almost certainly matters for heard immunity, but i think you need a much more complex model to know how much of an effect it has.
No they aren't. We don't have long term data so what you said cannot be proven or said to be accurate.

Being farmed in perpetuity seems like a worse fate than extermination.
This does not seem like a useful source to draw this conclusion. 14/15 persons of both group died, but I do not see whether it was related to Covid. edit: 2 unvaccinated people with covid died 1 vaccinated. Point stands.

45.000 people is simply too small a number to draw such a conclusion. However, we are currently collecting a large amount of worldwide data, and that shows very strong reduced mortality and hospitalization on the vaccinated population. This is much higher quality data to draw conclusions on.
I recently watched a youtube video about why avocados cannot be grown by seed and learned about grafting. Interesting stuff. Didn't know apples also were grown through grafting.
> Recognizing that you haven’t done the prep means it’s not too difficult if you do the prep.

I simply say - every part of endeavor may be bringing you down. Your emotions (fears - of failure, of success, what not), your incompetence (including inability to do necessary preparation you mentioned), and so on.
Naturally, you have to address those different facets differently - handle the emotion with some introspection, learn to do the prep and planning (skill). Diving 'inside' will obviously not solve the lack of skill or lack of other resources - turning more and more inward would be absolutely wrong way, searching for fears and blowing them up.

Technically not, since IPSec can also be tunneled over UDP which then turns it into an application layer protocol.

In this study the vaccine reduced Covid-19 infection rates by like 90%, and essentially eliminated severe cases. This is great!

But the same number of people died in each group. So vaccines do not reduce Covid-19 mortality, period. Does this mean vaccines are a waste of time? No, of course not! It just means we should be precise and correct in the claims we make based on statistics, and not fudge them to say things that sound good but are not true.

EDIT: Fair enough, I'm making the same sloppy mistakes... this study doesn't say anything, positive or negative, about vaccine effects on mortality. But it certainly doesn't support the journalist's claim. It does support the claim that vaccines dramatically reduce infection rates and severity, which is great and reason enough to get vaccinated.
I've seen this article and I applaud it for addressing the issue thoroughly but I still am not convinced that static typing as we know it is as flexible and generic as dynamic typing. Let's go at this from an other angle, with a thought experiment. I hope you won't find it sarcastic or patronizing, just trying to draw an analogy here.

So, in statically typed languages, it is not idiomatic to pass around heterogeneous dynamic maps, at least in application code, like it is in Ruby/Clojure/etc. But one analogy we can draw which could drive some intuition for static typing enthusiasts is to forget about objects and consider lists. It is perfectly familiar to Scala/Java/C# programmers to pass around Lists, even though they're highly dynamic. So now think about what programming would be like if we didn't have dynamic lists, and instead whenever you wanted to build a collection, you had to go through the same rigamarole that you have to when defining a new User/Record/Tags object.

So instead of being able to use fully general `List` objects, when you want to create a list, that will be its own custom type. So instead of

val list = List(1,2,3,4)

you'll have to do:

case class List4(_0: Int, _1: Int, _2: Int, _3: Int)
val list = List4(1,2,3,4)

This represents what we're trying to do much more accurately and type-safely than with dynamic Lists, but what is the cost? We can't append to the list, we can't `.map(...)` the list, we can't take the sum of the list. Well, actually we can!

case class List5(_0: Int, _1: Int, _2: Int, _3: Int, _4)
def append(list4: List4, elem: Int): List5 = List5(list4._0, list4._1, list4._2, list4._3, elem)
def map(list4: List4, f: Int => Int): List4 = List4(f(list4._0), f(list4._1), f(list4._2), f(list4._3))
def sum(list4: List4): Int = list4._0 + list4._1 + list4._2 + list4._3

So what's the problem? I've shown that the statically defined list is can handle the cases that I initially thought were missing. In fact, for any such operation you are missing from the dynamic list implementation, I can come up with a static version which will be much more type safe and more explicit on what it expects and what it returns.

I think it's obvious what is missing, it's that all this code is way too specific, you can't reuse any code from List4 in List5, and just a whole host of other problems. Well, this is pretty much exactly the same kinds of problems that you run into with static typing when you're applying it to domain objects like User/Record/Car. It's just that we're very used to these limitations, so it never really occurs to us what kind of cost we're paying for the guarantees we're getting.

That's not to say dynamic typing is right and static typing is wrong, but I do think that there really are significant costs to static typing and people don't think about it.
You can broaden that statement and say that almost all the CRUD-app bullshit which devs get employed for these days isn't that, either. I've worked as a dev for insurance, B2B fintech, and athletic wear companies. They're all doing trivial CRUD problems behind the scenes, where the only real challenge is dealing with asinine management and organizational issues.

And even if the consumer internet problems are technically challenging, like problems of scale for Facebook, you can argue pretty easily that solving them to increase Facebook's power and profitability is a net negative for society.

For China to simply say "no" to that and invest more heavily in the physical economy is... a smart move, by my estimation. It tracks with what I'd do in my "king for a day" fantasy. Not that I think they're out there building a utopia - they're still a repressive regime - but they're wisely avoiding a class of problems that the West has jumped into headfirst.

This conversation triggered memories of hunting for my first time as a teenager: I shot a beautiful doe with a black powder rifle using iron sights.

Observing the forest with my eyes and ears, waiting in still silence for hours in chemical and visual camouflage, lining up with its chest, making a slight sound to get it to pause... You feel a certain focused hunger as you gaze down the barrel, that you've never felt before. But the way it feels... It's something you know. Something that is deeply ingrained in you. The moment feels like forever, as you release a deadly projectile from your species' 'advanced technology'. Then, gutting it in the forest, dragging it out, hanging it up on the gambrel, cutting all the meat out, seasoning it, grilling it, and eating it...

Probably the most powerful, self-realizing, humbling, spiritual experience I have ever had. For the first time in my life, I actually felt like an animal! A real animal!

Did I have to kill that doe to survive? Absolutely not. I could have driven down the road to McDonalds and had a burger in my stomach in under 10 minutes.

Once I found the doe on the ground, I sat with it for a couple minutes in silence. I felt very thankful for it. "My God! I just killed this thing!" (I'm agnostic.) There is a certain realization - that we are all simultaneously frail, and immensely powerful. In that moment, you feel your place in the hierarchy.

I have a feeling that many among us today choose to actively fight this innate reality. People implicitly reject the concept that they are animals. They don't like the idea that they exist today because their ancestors killed things. Did things we now consider immoral. It can manifest in to a sort of self-hatred that is reflected on to others.

"Why do we even eat meat today? It's not necessary." Absolutely true! But to that, I say, because I enjoy it, and because I can. No other support is needed. My species has clearly evolved to enjoy consuming it, and to devise technology to acquire it. Become comfortable with what you are made of, animal spirits and all.

But above all, with great power, comes great responsibility. Hone your sense of morality, as we are in a position privileged to do so. Thanks for reading my rambling. :)

Maybe not guilty but reflect on the many costs involved and try to lend your political voice to improvements. We burn a ton of fossil fuel moving people around with 10-20x their weight in metal; EVs can improve that somewhat but even if you can charge your renewably they still have a substantial CO2 cost in their manufacturing and the massive roads needed due to the intrinsic inefficiency of private vehicles. The associated low-density lifestyle similarly adds a big energy cost and makes transit hard to build. There are also many deaths and life-altering injuries annually, not to mention the way everything is made more expensive to subsidize vehicle storage in addition to the direct costs many people struggle with.

All of that exists because the system is built to encourage it, and building something more sustainable means lots of us need to start calling for major changes. I think it's reasonable to worry about that even if you didn't personally create the problem.

> Honestly, I think the PRC's hubris is more than matched by the US's (and Western world's).

Yes, I still definitely agree with that one. US’s hubris is the undeniably the largest in the world.

> I think it's ultimately the PRC's goal to have domestic champions replace those global corporations in the global economy (e.g. Apple declines as Huawei ascends)

Maybe, maybe not? We’ll see if this goes well as planed. Easier said than done.

> I don't think the PRC is as stupid as the US was, and will not allow those companies to "pack up and move" to the degree it's disruptive to their ability to provide an unmatched manufacturing supply chain.

The point is, companies are already doing this. You’ll be surprised how much conglomerates like Samsung has already taken production out of China.
> A lot of us are making a living mapping real world problems into software solutions. If that mapping is messed up (and it always is to some degree) then the formal correctness of the type system doesn't matter at all.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying statically typed language can't protect against design flaws, only implementation flaws. But implementation flaws are common, and statically typed languages do help to avoid those.

The "give up and let it be endemic forever" defeatism attitude appears very statistically foolish.

It's likely, yes, but why on earth would we want to just accept that?

The flu, for instance, bounces around in severity and kills tens of thousands per year in the US. Few of those are kids, so what? If we're happy to let the virus continue to transmit in any populations, it'll change in various ways. One year a variant may pop up that'll be more harmful to those kids. At some other point a variant may pop up that'll be more elusive against adult immunity, etc. Over years, how many lives does that add up to? Why wouldn't we aggressively try to vaccinate as many people as possible before those things happen?

Success wouldn't be guaranteed even if people weren't opposed to it for various spurious reasons but it would be nice if we believed we could accomplish hard things...
You know vaccinated people still transmit right?
I totally agree with this sentiment. It is probably better to make robust code-quality software for scanning and eliminating these vulnerabilities. Taking C as an example, it is a simple language so probably also the easiest language in common low-level use to be able to parse and detect serious issues.

The benefits to that are more advantageous given the sheer amount of code on systems.
With or without laser pointers? :-)

the problem with golden delicious is that you need to eat them within 3 days of when they are picked. a good golden should have a thin skin, be sweet, and crisp.

i think part of the problem is that farmers pick them to early so your usually getting an green golden that has rotted a bit to turn yellow.
You know the vaccine doesn't do anything to stop transmission right? So you can be in a room full of vaccinated people and still be just as likely to get it...

I did continuations back in 1987, in Turbo Pascal, but I didn't know it until today. I wrote a cooperative multi-tasking library to support some things I needed to have happen at the same time in MS-DOS.

The first time my procedure "fork" returned twice, it took me a while to wrap my head around it. I don't see why you couldn't implement continuations in modern Free Pascal/Lazarus, all you really have to do is make a copy of the stack(using the heap), then adjust BP and SP, everything else on the stack is relative to those two registers.

Lyrasis Job Opening: DSpaceDirect DevOps Engineer
Anecdotally, I never installed it for the same reason.
It's so odd because Postgres generally does everything else so well and is generally very customizable and modular otherwise. Yet the maintainers totally scoff at the idea of query hints even in the face of so many examples of planning failures.

Their arguments are asinine too (from https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/OptimizerHintsDiscussion):

* Poor application code maintainability: hints in queries require massive refactoring.

* Interference with upgrades: today's helpful hints become anti-performance after an upgrade.

* Encouraging bad DBA habits slap a hint on instead of figuring out the real issue.

* Does not scale with data size: the hint that's right when a table is small is likely to be wrong when it gets larger.

* Failure to actually improve query performance: most of the time, the optimizer is actually right.

* Interfering with improving the query planner: people who use hints seldom report the query problem to the project.

Literally all of these are expressions of condescension and distrust of their own users. Anyone who would use hinting would be using it to solve a real issue caused by the shortcomings of the planner -- that much should be self-evident.
Outwards arrogance is often the manifestation of impostor syndrome, but I digress.

Corporate arrogance isn't a property of individual personalities. Most Googlers are perfectly nice people. The Google corporate culture is a whole is rooted in a deep superiority complex and dripping with arrogance. Google believes it knows better than its users, and that translates to all aspects of product design. If you moved those same engineers to a different company, you wouldn't have the same behavior.

I'll also mention that each organizational design has upsides and downsides.

This culture seems to work well in Google's early markets (e.g. search) where users are statistics, and where most problems are hard algorithmic problems, and users are secondary. It has upsides in B2C markets like Google Docs or Android. It crashes-and-burns in a lot of B2B markets, like Workspace or GCP, where customers have a high degree of expertise which ought to be respected.

I'll mention a lot of fintech companies, as well as elite universities, have a similar culture. Those are domains where it leads to success as well.

Inside that is called raising the bar. Often times I would personally aim to find people who were 50% better than the best person I knew in that role. Often times I would still incline on people during their POD. I would just strongly incline with 'raises the bar' on folks who met that rare exception. Honestly I was on the Dave Clark side of the business and we were much more chill about things vs the Jassy/AWS cult. Those dudes might as well be from the moon. So take my statement with a grain of salt. We worked for the same company... but we also didn't, Amazon is just that big.

I had plenty of times where an entire hiring pod would incline on a candidate because they had the soft skills we were looking for in that role and we knew we could sharpen their technical skillset in house. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to work at a FAANG... you just have to be interviewed by a team that is hungry and likes you.
