Just explain how the vaccine works. I think a lot of people seem to not really understand it, which makes it this mystery fluid being injected into them. You don't need to get too detailed.

The vaccine contains mRNA, which is basically like DNA (in layman terms). The mRNA is from covid and it's what gives it its 'spiky' structure. When the mRNA is injected your body uses it to generate those spikes - that's just a normal function of your body. Your immune system learns how to attack those spikes, and so it'll recognize covid in general. mRNA is very short-lived so it breaks down, the end result being that your body gets some covid proteins for a little while and your immune system cleans them up.

I think a really simplistic breakdown like this goes a long way to helping people feel comfortable. They're no longer wondering "what's in this thing? how does it work?" and instead it's like "oh ok yeah, I have at least an extremely basic understanding of DNA, and this is just a tiny little piece of DNA stuff that breaks down super fast".
I would trade all my personal privacy if that meant eliminating pompous drivel producing dolts like you from all aspects of my life.

I'm 65. When I was a kid I built a crystal radio, which inspired my grandfather to tell me about the early days of radio. He said he and his friends used to compete with each other to build radios that could receive stations from the farthest away. It was a real hacker culture!
I think it's worth noting that the proposed change is only to prevent alerts from cross origin iframes, not in general.

I can think of only two applicable mechanisms of action with lasers, there could be more:

1 - Radiation pressure. This is just momentum exchange between the object and incoming photons. It very clearly has a force and is partly responsible for sending dead spacecraft into a tumbling motion. The challenge with radiation pressure is that it has an extremely small effect relative to the input power, in the range of micronewtons per kilowatt. Low power lasers that would not be considered 'possible weapons' would be effective but over very long timescales.

2 - Ablative reaction. When you ramp the energy level enough to cook off layers of material, the ejection of the particles has a reaction effect that pushes the object in the opposite direction. Fiber laser engravers (YouTube it if you're not familiar) use this as the mechanism for material removal. These lasers have relatively low average power (say 20W-100W), but its delivered in very short high-power pulses necessary to heat just the skin of the material. Because of that, the instantaneous power levels might be 100-500kW, clearly 'weapons' class. It wouldn't have any effect on ground targets but could easily be employed in anti-satellite operations.
False equivalence. Actively requiring someone to take an action to participate in society is not the same as someone making a personal risk assessment for themselves and deciding whether or not to participate in society based on that.

Besides, if we go with your standards, those that can't take the vaccine would not be allowed to participate in a mandatory vaccine society anyway. So either they're forced to avoid participating, or they at least have the option to based on a personal assessment.
Anything concrete on that?

Personally I don't really mind the broken-up content but I do mind Twitter as a platform. It does tracking and it tries to constantly push me to make an account and/or use their app. I definitely won't use tools to make it more usable either. It's not about usability, it's about Twitter itself.

But it's fine, it doesn't have to be for everyone.

Sure, I get how it works, but I feel like false positives are inevitable with this approach. That wouldn't necessarily be an issue under normal police circumstances where they have a warrant and a real person reviews things, but it feels really dangerous here. As I mentioned, any accusations along these lines have a habit of sticking, regardless of reality - indeed, irrational FUD around the Big Three (terrorism, paedophilia and organised crime) is the only reason Apple are getting a pass for this.

I find that there are games that transition from low to high complexity over time, and I often dislike it, for example in Crusader Kings. I always love the early part of the game where I'm looking out for my family, building nice stuff in my domain, earning money, murdering siblings etc. Life is simple. I absolutely hate when you (either deliberately or by accident) end up in charge of a large kingdom or empire and suddenly you're having to manage hundreds of counties and deal with dozens of people who hate you.

My impression is that many new academic writers try to imitate the style of established academics. The results are very unnatural and hard to read texts. And journals are fine with terrible writing style, because most academics are not good writers. Furthermore, unclear and convoluted writing is often seen as fitting due to the complexity of what is being written about.
Everything’s a trade off, but this one is worth trying imho.

There are lots of things could be done to even the playing field. Eg require all browsers to come “out of the box” with with zero sites trusted.

This would incentivise regular sites to not use heavy JS, if they knew they won’t be JITed by default.

And by all means, if you use say Salesforce, by all means trust the site. But that tiny bit of friction is a good thing imho, analogous to running ‘chmod +x’ on Unix.

In general, I think it’s time to say that browsers should have a more refined security model, and letting every darn site on the internet access to run code on your computer is maybe not a great idea.

> It was given emergency approval which sounds dramatic - but isn’t.

In New Zealand since they had elimination they didn't do emergency approval. They expedited their normal process, but since there were literally no people dying in New Zealand of COVID-19 they weren't losing anybody by waiting for their medicines agency to complete all the steps it would usually take at the pace necessary.

They're currently vaccinating their general population, having at first prioritised health workers and those at the border who might meet infected people in the course of their duties.

Obviously things look a bit different when you've got people dying every day, but the vaccine is the same, so if you'd be more confident that it was assessed without worrying about all the people dying meanwhile, New Zealand did that. Months ago.

I think the thing is, you associate yourself with a national indentity, almost every one does. And when you do, you treat attacks or seemingly-attacks on that nation as attacks on yourself, hence the anger.

Propaganda alone would never explain it, I think we tend to treat the problems of our nation as problems of our own. It is normal to get defensive on these things.

Note that I said “human edible vegetables”, not “human edible food”, in context of a historical absurdity of a peasant feeding carrots to his horse. It’s as absurd as if 500 years from now, people on future equivalent of Hacker News claimed that in early 21st century, the poor complained about rising alcohol prices that they used to run their private jets on.

Now, I’m happy that your knowledge already allows you to infer that regular peasants did not, in fact, own draft animals, and I’m sad that it does not allow you to infer that the draft animals were not fed human edible food. Alas, that was the case: draft animals, which were universally oxen, would eat pasture grass, cut hay, and waste biomass like straw left over after growing grains. Human edible food was much too valuable to feed it to animals on a regular basis, and vegetables even more so, considering how little vegetables a typical peasant consumed himself (his diet was overwhelmingly grain based).

Fine. But remember, you can still hate Facebook and it can still be a crappy platform even though you're wrong about the explicit claims you've been arguing.

Yeah, they're kinda "dumb." These companies have incredible engineers but they still screw up really simple things.

> I gotta say, I don't believe you. I've never once seen a Suggested link that wasn't to some kind of obvious click farm.

This is clickbait content created by professional view arbitrage firms who use natural virality to make a buck. They are making money, but they aren't buying ads, they're selling them on their own websites.

> Never once. If you want to make a technical argument that Facebook drives revenue via other means than direct payments, then that seems reasonably likely (if deliberately misleading).

This is exactly the argument. And it's not an argument, it's a fact, assuming you aren't just missing the "sponsored/ad" labels on Facebook.com. Facebook is promoting this crap because most people are likely to click it and they are optimizing for engagement so people come back and click more, including on ads.

> If you want to argue that these folks aren't spending money that ends up in Facebook's pocket in order for Facebook to put their content in front of my eyeballs... then I'm just going to laugh at you, sorry.

This is not what was said and nobody intelligent would say this. (Strawman argument)

> If Facebook didn't see benefit from putting this garbage in front of me that I never click on, then why would it be putting garbage in front of me that I never click on? Clearly Facebook wants me to click on it!

Their algorithm hasn't figured you out as well as it has others. They promote low quality clickbait content BECAUSE it leads to "engagement" and clicks. They want you to like being on Facebook, and constant clicking = addiction. But these are not ads, unless you're missing an obvious "sponsored/ads" label.

On the other hand, I find that a lot of "engineers", if that's what we're calling ourselves, have a tendency to completely underestimate and denigrate the so-called "average user" [0]. They often construct some strawman that's dumb or oblivious or easily fooled when constructing an argument.

Well, I don't think that's the case. Yes, there are users out there who meet those criteria, but there are also "engineers" who do. By and large, just because they aren't "engineers" doesn't mean they don't largely have the same concerns as everyone else who uses a PC: They want to get their work done, they don't like interruptions to their workflow, they don't like change for the sake of it, and they don't appreciate slow and unresponsive UI. "Engineers" are a subset of user who just happens to think a bit too highly of themselves because they use VSCode and JavaScript instead of Excel or Photoshop.

We may not be experts on UI design, but you don't have to be a chef to know when the food you're served tastes lousy and you don't need to be a designer to know when bad UI is shoved down your throat.

[0] I submit that the very concept of "average user" is a fictitious entity which only exists to be a strawman. See: https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/01/16/when-us-air-...

Yeah, I agree. As much as I hate EULA's and "Are you sure?" confirmation dialogs, THIS is a scenario where that's probably a good idea.

The authorization (consent) was given the moment the guy linked his creditcard with 14k+ credits to his tesla account.

Then, he gave the login to a third party.

Lots of things that one should simply not do, and is not the fault of tesla (which should have spend the time to at least have a confirmation prompt, I totally agree, but that's an extra service to the not-so-very-smart-people who blindly link their creditcard to stuff)
>Treating others as ridiculous won't help with the convincing.

Nothing will work to convince an unreasonable person. The next best thing to do involves blunting the impact of their dangerous choices, e.g. adding penalties and restrictions for the unvaccinated in society so they can't harm the rest of us.
It wasn’t always standard some cars came without it before they made the standard range+ the base model. The part about it being purchased by just pulling the shifter is a lie though you can only buy these up grades from a menu in the Tesla app.
It's a combination of both.

The relevant keywords are "Interaural Time Difference" (ITD; this phenomenon) and "Interaural Intensity (or Level) Difference" (IID/ILD; i.e., volume).

In fact, there are a few other mechanisms too. The shape of the pinna (external ear) does some filtering that allows you to distinguish sounds that produce identical ITD/IID.

The neuroscience of this is really fascinating, and the circuits have been worked out pretty well.
These days I’m not sure there is such a thing (or at least it’s a short list)

Yeah and sadly many of those who are consumers of illicit content get away with it because it's much more important to target the creators. The unfortunate reality of finite resources.
Stifled creativity is the dark side of learning to act "appropriately".

Sometimes an individual might "overfit" and limit their thoughts or actions too much.

But it's a fine line, everybody expects you to understand what's not to be said, without being told. It's all about the context, the frame.

We can see some of this in X itself. A capital intensive technological solution is appropriate work product, at X.

Radical schemes for reducing overall consumption or redistibuting wealth, would not be appropriate work product at X.
Your comment could be read two in ways:

1) People refusing to get vaccinations are more likely to die, which will affect the human gene pool.
2) The coronavirus itself is going to evolve faster (creating new variants) because of more replication in the unvaccinated human population.

I'd be cautious about the first one - we have a long history of getting things wrong in this area. The second one is pretty undeniable (this is how we got the Delta Variant, I think), and it makes the (often reasonable) "their bodies, their choice" argument harder.
As I understand it, mRNA vaccines are considered safer "by design" than other types of vaccines, because mRNA is so short-lived and the body has no way of replicating mRNA, and each piece of mRNA is only translated a few times, so the number of proteins a shot of mRNA vaccine creates is very specific. Because the mRNA can be made to only produce a very specific component of the virus, there is basically no risk for a real infection to develop, because there isn't a real pathogen, in contrast to some other vaccines which contain modified/weakened pathogens.
> The authorization (consent) was given

It was not.
Unsurprisingly, this applies to programming all too well. A computer program is simply a description of an idea, and the ability to write complex code does not a great programmer make. The best programmers are able to come up with simple solutions to complex problems. The worst programmers are those who devise complex solutions to simple problems.
If you don't have kids, and are rationally altruistic, it can be argued that you can create more expected pleasure by willing your fortune to charity than spending it on yourself, or earning just the minimum.
This is called DX-ing, it's very well alive, however I'm not sure how much of the equipment users still build themselves, if any.
"Radio was the original overhyped technology"

What?

Radio literally raised our IQs, I don't mean educated us, it changed the structure of our brains. (It also educated us)

For the rich it moved to TV, but for the poor it's only the internet that might replace radios power.

As a side note, the radio guided ship was about torpedoes, which actually never happened, it was developed in WW2 but not used, it went to wires which is interesting. But radio controlled bombs where used in WW2 which is pretty close to a torpedo.
