Well good thing there's not a huge surge of reports coming into VAERS or other reporting databases then, or we might have evidence a similar thing is occurring.
As a drone guy, 5C charge rate is a bit scary. 2C is reasonable.
Because before 2020, natural immunity to virtually any infectious disease was considered sufficient and superior to immunization. The entire concept of natural immunity being "not good enough' is brand new. It was never uttered before COVID, and it has never been proven even during COVID. It's an absurdity, that nobody in the realm of infectious disease even entertained before government started acting forcefully on behalf of pharmaceutical companies in the past 18 months.

Go look for yourself. "Do I need varicella vaccine if I had chickenpox?" The answer is NO.

>Oh, this is a different disease

Okay, then produce a single study indicating that those with prior COVID infection are hospitalized with a reinfection at higher rates than the fully vaccinated. That study doesn't exist. It's all just arbitrary anti-body level response studies, which are useless. If you can't produce a study to show why this infectious disease should be treated differently than all the others, then we'll go with the default position: natural immunity is enough.
VAERS records around 10k deaths post-vaccination in the US. Around 150 million Americans have been vaccinated. If all those deaths were caused by the vaccine, that would be 0.006% suffering the extremely persistent harm of death. In fact it's not known however whether those deaths following the vaccination were necessarily caused by covid, but unfortunately very little follow up (autopsies) is being conducted, so there's no way to know. Counter-balancing that is the fact that previous research has found "Adverse events from vaccines are common but underreported, with less than one percent reported": https://digital.ahrq.gov/ahrq-funded-projects/electronic-sup...

These vaccines aren’t even a year old. If there were long term side effects, do you think they would show up in a few months? Have we even had enough time to see if people are having trouble getting pregnant? Let alone get vaccinated and then gestate a child to term.

Sure, act like the vaccines have been around forever. You are revealing your age. Some of us have seen this show before in 2009 and in the 1970s. Even with the best intentions, scientists make mistakes.
Fun fact, the images were saved compressed, and the compression ratio depends on the content of your image, so it's possible to create images that compress so poorly there isn't enough room to save them.

At Apple scale, a once in a million issue is going to ruin the lives of 2000 people. A false positive here is not a mild inconvenience. It means police raiding their house, potentially damaging it, seizing all of their technology for months while it is analyzed, and leaving these people highly stressed while they try to put their lives back together.

This isn't some web tech startup where a mistake means someones tshirt got sent to the wrong address. Peoples lives will quite literally be ruined over mistakes here.

I do all that in C++: substantial allocations, like ring buffers, are mmapped with a MAP_HUGETLB flag or on /dev/hugepages. And, I use a destructor to unmap them.

Suggesting destructors slow down execution really is a joke. The joke is on people who believe it. People will grasp at any straw to avoid need to learn anything new.

We allow parents to make decisions for children up to a certain age. I'm definitely not arguing that.

It is about me. A population is made up of individual people. Those individual people have rights. Given a choice of a population of X size who surrender the rights to govern their body, vs a population of free willed humans of (X - (00.03 * X)), I would gladly take the latter, including as a casualty. Humanity under authoritarianism is never morally acceptable, regardless of how benevolent my dictator appears to be.

I seriously doubt Google is going to have a different opinion on this. They already scan google drive content for mere copyright violations.
It depends what they’re united on. If they’re united on something evil, it is good they lose power, if united on something good then they will use that power for good.
Our wars for example in the Middle East, our unity was on security and safety as the highest good, so we were willing to do something awful to pursue that thing.
The letters next to their names have changed, but we’ve still made a god of security and safety, and have allowed it to blind us to the evil we’re doing.

Well, let's not disregard the more serious attack that the parent poster mentioned:

> For example, if they do a "Scan document and send to contact "Accountant", you very well may have modified it to be your email or phone.

In places where personnel PII is closely guarded this would absolutely be a big deal. Also, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the impact of a denial of ink attack at larger scales. In my experience, printers spewing gibberish isn't usually intentional, but a side effect of an improperly configured scan. Not only can this be costly in ink alone, but also in time and the patience of your employees. You've assumed that the attack is targeting the more expensive color ink, but what happens when employees can't print simple documents in black ink? Just change the cartridge (on hundreds of printers), right? And when it happens again tomorrow? After a few days you're going to have to start thinking about the wages you pay these folks to do that.

Now we depend on all of us coming to our senses to survive this thing

Am I missing something? It seems to be clear for well over a year that "this thing" is not some existential threat that threatens our very survival. Why are people talking as if it is, and seeking to craft policy as if it is?
Soon enough this will scope creep into anything containing what a puritanic neoliberal corporation considers contraband. Time for a serious look at Linux phones.
You can't build the battery-changing system into the drone due to size, power, and weight constraints, so it has to be part of the van. So you need something on the van that can

1) Secure the drone in place while the battery is being changed, and ensure drone can successfully land with sufficient precision for the battery changer to work, or to manoeuvre the drone into place.

Probably you would also want to keep supplying auxiliary power to the drone so you don't have to wait for it to reboot and reconnect to the van's swarm management when the battery is removed.

2) Physically remove and replace the battery, including manipulation of any connectors and fasteners required.

3) Convey batteries between the drone and the storage inside the van. I imagine this would work something like an LTO tape library, where the van tracks which storage slots are occupied, if they've been used or not, and have some internal mechanism which moves batteries between the storage slots and the battery changing mechanism.

I can see this being quite bulky, as with that many batteries you would need compartmentalisation and maybe even a miniature fire-suppression system in case one of the batteries "cooks off".

4) Must not interfere with whatever cargo-loading system is in place - you could have a nice flat battery tray in the roof, but you might need to punch a hole through it to fit a cargo elevator or so on.

Also, must not take up too much internal volume of the van that could be better used for profitable activities (storing cargo for delivery)

5) It would still have to comply with normal road requirements such as maximum heights, environmental resistance (rain, dust, etc.) and so on.

That's just off the top of my head, I'm not an engineer and I'm sure there are plenty more challenges that I haven't thought of.
Also there are crazies on the other side too. People thinking there are giant conspiracies of powerful people plotting together how to get more power.
No the scary thing about it all, is everyone the powerful and the weak are acting the way they are and feel completely justified and have their approval of their conscious.
Well, like the real reason is that the web is a threat to the app store. So, likely we'd just see some new excuse (if they even bother)
I have thought about this too, retrograde orbit buys you a lot of “free” energy for deorbiting things going in the other direction. The “puff coherency” problem as you succinctly put it seems like the hardest problem. Maybe if the gas is ionized, you could use another spacecraft[s] to generate a magnetic field that could trap the cloud long enough to get the “puffer” craft out of the way before impact.
Egan is probably far from an easy blanket recommendation, even here in HN. I enjoyed CR, but there are many parts extremely boring and way too detailed (which is usually his point and style) and that will put away a lot of people.
>You're either imposing a very safe vaccine on people

It's not very safe; there have been more adverse events reported in VAERS following the covid vaccines than in the past 20 years for all other vaccines. And unlike all those other vaccines, there's absolutely zero long-term safety data, because it's impossible to know the effects 3-5 years in future of a novel treatment that's only existed for one year.

Safari uses AVFoundation and ImageIO for handling video and image data respectively. These frameworks are tied to OS releases. This ends up meaning the latest Safari on an older OS might not handle some formats/codecs.

So Safari gets free accelerated handling of new formats and codecs but only when the underlying OS supports them.
That is a really esoteric flavor of boot you seem to be enjoying to lick there…
they did mention it in the long description. It's off for now but they are planning on turning it on.

I'd guess it's safer than JIT because the translation to assembly is simple, or can be simple. It's not trying to do the complicated process of analyzing a dynamically typed language and applying different ways of optimizing.
>Short of going door-to-door with guys with guns and body armor, forcefully pinning down people and jabbing them with vaccine

Even this would not work (at least in America), because there's a heavy overlap between the unvaccinated and gun owners, and they vastly outnumber whatever police force would be attempting to enforce the vaccination.
This is a fantastic book. I took Hastie and Tibsurani’s class years ago, and I still refer to this text.
I see your point and agree with thing you’re saying in general. However, this impacts US workers due to the following:

- Visa workers paid less for a job with a higher rate of lay is illegal. The paperwork and justification to offer jobs to visa workers clearly makes the company liable for Fraud, Illegal Hiring, etc, etc. problem is to stop it things just happen:

- they must be turned in
- the US Govt must stop turning a blind eye
- companies at fault and convicted must face real consequences (fining a company $5 to $10M for this when savings over multiple positions over time has saved them 10x, 100x or more than the fine is useless
- CEO, CFO, etc jailed no less than 10 years per instance (10 year min time served)
- company fined out of business on 2nd or 3rd instance

NEXT…

- Americans can leave on lower lifestyle cost but refuse (tech high pay jobs, obviously not everyone)
- Americans need to be educated in jobs as well. Many times positions go infilled as no available US worker or the $150k per year doesn’t allow to live and eat in places like the Bay Area and Americans while forced to share housing here couldn’t imagine to share a room with 4 or 5 or 6 others.

Yes visa worker process needs to be massively reworked and politicians need to stop screwing Americans for lobbyists pouring money, etc at them to bend to the business needs. But a lot is also caused by Americans keeping up appearances and government allowing the cost of housing and living to be so out of control.
Apologies, I realize that now.
Bouncing droplets mimic spin systems
This matches up with how I view Apples corporate thinking. "we know what's best" "the consumer is not to be trusted".
Apple limits access to hardware, system settings, they block apps that don't meet moral standards, are "unsafe", or just might cause apple to not make as much money. They do not significantly care what people say they want after all they know best.

A lot of people love not having options and having these decisions made for them.

I would never want a device like that or with something that scans my device, but I think the vast majority of their customers if they even hear about it will think "I trust apple, they know what's best, it wont affect me"

Im ok with apple doing it because i think most apple users will be ok with it. I would not be ok with it if all Android devices started doing it though.
This reminds me of vegan bacon.

Vaccination absolutely is a medical procedure. How could you say otherwise?

It's now clear that these injections do not have the efficacy of what has traditionally been termed a "vaccination," but they're definitely being marketed as a preventative, or therapeutic medical intervention.

Weird comment this one...

> What? I have never heard anything like that at all.

Sure you have. It's embedded in the common phrase (invoked earlier) about the right to swing a fist ending at the edge of people's noses. Or in the oft-invoked expression about yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater. Or the frequent refrain about rights being paired with responsibilities.

> You think if something like this is accepted there won't be pushes to go further?

We don't have to "think" it, we can point to historic and present examples where like compulsory actions existed without devolving into totalitarianism because we have a society shaped by people who understood it's possible to have both substantial general protections and specific exceptions.

An Android device running non-stock is a realistically better scenario. The big problem there is that the state of Android drivers means your hardware options are severely cut down (in practice, to a selection about the size of Apple's - the Pixel line and some assorted others).
Somewhat, I don't think its a direct target but some people tend to parrot what they see on social media so indirectly it ends up here.
> So you're just googling post hoc and haven't actually looked into it. How scientific.

Actually, I've seen dozens of articles fly by and they all said pretty much the same thing, because the data is so clear that no one really disputes it. I just googled it because it's stupidly easy to find. Nothing's going to convince you anyway, so there's no point in putting in more effort at this point.
> Also, if the government really cared about the health of the population, why aren't they mandating exercise or dietary health?

Probably because obesity isn't contagious...
I live in Sydney Australia so I can provide some perspective.

Lockdowns only seem to be effective when coupled with efficient testing, tracing, isolating and the use of face masks. At the moment the Delta strain is challenging this idea though. Cases here are plateauing or rising slowly and we are lockdown.

Culturally there is more emphasis on the individual in western cultures vs the collective in eastern cultures. Perhaps due to historical religious differences. This clearly has an effect on things like mask wearing, self isolation, coming forward for testing and complying with lockdowns.

While Australians generally aren’t as community minded as those in Asian countries they aren’t as individualistic as those in say the USA. This is clearly evidenced in the average Australians view towards gun control for instance.

Dead Zones, Facts and Information
I’m glad to hear that natural immunity is considered. I might get one dose as a booster for my natural immunity, but not two.
Regardless even if I got two, I will behave as if I had none, and will not go dining if they require proof of vaccination and whatever other things.

I will never report someone for violating a vaccine mandate, or a mask mandate. Or if they forge their vaccine card.

If they are knowingly sick, going out with a fever, and a cough in public places and essentially trying to get people sick, I will report them. Even if they’ve been vaccinated but “just” had the Flu.

And that person exists by the way. People who essentially knew they had covid, were feeling symptoms, yet went to a party anyways. But I’m sure there is the person who proudly goes out with their vaccination card showing both doses sick with something else like the flu, judging those who have no symptoms of sickness but aren’t vaccinated also being out.
