The data is clear if you look at vaccination rates per county:

My suspicion is this stems from trump's poor handling of COVID and downplaying the threat of the virus from the beginning, Vox goes into more detail:

https://www.vox.com/2021/7/6/22554198/political-polarization...

Based on polling, conservatives are less likely to even consider vaccination:
"while Republicans, rural residents, and White Evangelical Christians continue to be disproportionately more likely to say they will definitely not get vaccinated."

Thankfully the trend might be changing, folks like Steve Scalise who initially declined the vaccine received the shot and is now advocating for it, but we don't know if this has helped convince conservatives to vaccinate yet as he only did this in July:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/08/02/republican...

This shift among conservative leaders and media has only happened in the last month or so, The Atlantic did a piece on this:

> In general democrats are wealthier than republicans so it is no surprise that they have higher vaccination rates.

The vaccine is free. The correlation on vaccination rates to how counties voted is a much stronger relationship than income.

The data lines up with my anecdotal experience as well. The folks I know who are antivax and taking hydroxychloroquine are extremely conservative. When they've talked about their viewpoints they point to Fox and trump as trusted sources on the topic.

You could make an argument that college education plays a large role in whether or not folks are antivax, those numbers closely align with party identification though so I'm not sure that's useful:

"There remains a large gap in vaccine uptake across education, with about eight in ten college graduates (79%) saying they have gotten at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, compared to about six in ten adults without a degree who say the same (59%)"

For this Cuomo situation, I smell, call it, opportunistic, timely press manipulation, a version of Kabuki theater. While I "smell" this, I can't prove any of it. I don't know what he did to the women, but I still smell something timely.

So, the hidden, unspoken rules of the game are for all the Democrats to make very loud, visible public statements that they are morally outraged and jump and dump on Cuomo. That way the Democrats look more moral, sticklers for good government, and defenders of women. They get LOTS of press, at least for some weeks.

This Cuomo story stands to last in the press: The press can still run Cuomo sex stories but can't actually remove him from office or actually fine him, jail him, etc. Essentially the only way Cuomo can actually be seriously hurt is via the legal system, and that will take months, months for the media story to continue. And this case in the court cases may be of the form "he said, she said".

Moreover, "this just in", at Newsmax there is a headline

"Dershowitz: Cuomo Case Short on Law, 'Going Nowhere'"

In this case, the Democrats get months of publicity looking moral and nothing very serious happens to Cuomo. That's what I smell here.

For Cuomo, sure, a first guess is that jumping and dumping on him makes him and the Democrat Party look dirty, corrupt, immoral, mean to women, etc.

Q. Why are the Democrats eager to get all this publicity?

A. The Democrats REALLY want the publicity, especially that they are so moral, and assume that the public won't much care about what Cuomo did.

Right, there is a contradiction here: In all of this manipulation, the Democrats want to look especially moral but are also willing to work hard to have one prominent Democrat look especially IMmoral. Such is publicity, manipulating the media, etc.

Did I mention that I can't prove any of this? Uh, such is politics in NY and USA?

The Pain of Being a Tech Lead
There was a period in my life where other peoples' weddings basically dictated my vacation planning. I was extremely happy to go to as many weddings as I could! I was single and most of the weddings were where I was going to fly anyway.

On the same token, when I got married the vast majority of my guests traveled by plane. One of my aunts had a lot going on in her life and didn't want to fly out for a few days. I totally understood and respect her priorities. It was a lot to ask of her to fly out. (Most of my extended family welcomed the excuse to take a large extended family trip together.) Another friend declined. He certainly "could afford it," but I didn't feel like there was any obligation on his part to put the time and money into travel.

I had so many "mandatory" group activities growing up that I just accept that people will say no to invites. We live in busy times, and I think the most well-adjusted people know how to keep control in their lives.
Which I think is the argument behind declarative languages. If we can encode the intent precisely, then at least in theory the compiler can find the optimal solution for the given architecture and other constraints. Of course in practice that probably requires strong AI to accomplish.

Super dumb question, when we talk about graph deep learning are we talking about deep learning with graphs is input? Or is it the use of graphs as the underlying architecture for a deep learning system.

I work in the field of information security and in my head I can see a scenario of using what I would call time series graphs, in which something like an attack or basic system behavior could be modeled as an evolution of relationships over time (implying some causality). Or maybe more precisely, they are a set of discrete graphs in which some edges are temporal proximity rather than a concrete relationship. My problem is I’m so illiterate when it comes to machine learning that I’m having trouble translating it into a basic context that I could start tinkering with to learn.

Part of the challenge comes from the fact that nearly every relationship or metric is discrete/categorical in nature, there are very few continous/scaler values when it comes to information that would be processed. As a result, most of the introductory tutorials and training around image classification or speech recognition or clustering are difficult to apply. I want to watch a billion events per hour to find instances where there are atypical relationships between system events in one log to network connection events in another. These graphs are extremely simple to compute, but categorizing them and analyzing them is proving difficult for my lay brain.

Right. Back when i was living in Germany we were part of a very international community. I learned about the USA taxes craze when our poor American friend had to file his US taxes. Everyone in the group was like WHAT? My opinion is that it's a quite abusive practice.

However I've heard some people say it is worth the hassle so that you can save your passport everywhere saying "I'm American " and getting some sort of special treatment. Or that your embassy saves you from some crazy scenario you could get into as an expat.
Not exchanged, but considering Australia and America are both immigrant countries, you may be able to get an Italian or Irish passport based on ancestry if your ancestors came from there.

>Stallman allegedly has a pattern of troubling behaviour going back decades

The vagueness in your comment mirrors the vagueness in the stories that tend to accuse Stallman of "troubling behavior".

They do mention a couple of examples of things that could imply sexual harassment if you squint (e.g. that business card) but what the examples really tend to show when you look at them independently of the hit piece they inhabit is that stallman is kind of cringey.

This is what happens when you make powerful enemies. This is how you do character assassination. Hell, there were stories like this about Bill Gates too.
Pretty light on detail and its been a while since I bowled, but back in college movies like kingpin and the big lebowski convinced me to buy my own bowling ball. At the time it was around a 150 bucks for the ball I used, and it had a different material on the outside than the shiny plastic house balls that allows better grip(Plastic, Urethane, reactive resin, etc). In addition to the lopsided weight, you could drill it differently(and fill in previous holes) if you wanted to adjust the hook. I know that I was able to bowl above 200 consistently and frequently would get 230-240 without much practice(other than the recreational bowling). The main reason being that having a bowling ball that is able to find the pocket will knock down more pins. Lastly, having a custom drill to your hand and finger size allows you to carry much more weight. I bowled a 16lb ball easily. The house balls at most bowling alleys drill enormous holes in the 15 and 16 lb balls so you have to give it a death grip to hold the ball.

Interesting but counterintuitive, at least to me. How do you determine homogeneity is this sense? What evidence suggests this to you?
Most civilized countries determine tax status based on where the person lived for the year. Reporting how much you earn overseas is one thing, but paying taxes twice while living and earning overseas is extraordinarily cruel.
>I've always thought it was a perverse conclusion that the way to make someone operate heavy machinery more safely is to increase cognitive load of the people operating them.

But the catch is that people doing things optimize for static cognitive load. In practice this means slowing down so "stuff" that demands thinking happens less readily when other things take up brain cycles. So you can get them to drive slower by adding "stuff" to the road. There are right and wrong ways to do this. Generally you try not to limit visibility.

Remember, the goal is safer, not slower. And slower is just a crude proxy for that. With big multi-lane roads your best bet is generally to try and normalize traffic speeds or segregate traffic based on speed (truck lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks, etc).

>Why not have a the straight roads you describe, with rigid automatic enforcement and penalities that take dangerous drivers off the road?

Because in a democracy with even enforcement they vote out the people who implemented such a system and with uneven enforcement it just turns into a system of extracting revenue from whichever groups nobody cares about. Orwellian crap like that simply doesn't fly in most of the world.
You'll still get like 10% of a US salary though.
> I'd say the main one is that it enables automatic refactorings, which are mathematically impossible to achieve when you don't have type annotations.

Yeah, it's really not impossible. Maybe in theory, it's "mathematically impossible", but in practice, doing a search on your local codebase and understanding the code you find makes it easy to do refactors too. Dynamic languages also can help making refactoring obsolete, as you can create data structures that doesn't matter if they are User or Person, as long as it has a Name, print the name (or whatever, just a simple example) whereas with a static type system, you'd have to change all the User to Person. You're basically locking your program together, making it coupled and harder to change.

> It enables great IDE support

Is there anything specific that IDEs support for static typing that you can't have for dynamic languages? I mostly work with Clojure and have everything my peers have when using TypeScript or any other typed language.

> unlocks performance that dynamically typed languages can never match

I think there is a lot more to performance than just types. Now the TechEmpower benchmarks aren't perfect, but a JS framework is at the 2nd place in the composite benchmark, beating every Rust benchmark. How do you explain this if we consider your argument that types will for sure make everything faster and more efficient?

You don't need bit shifting. You can just divide or multiply by powers of 2. (And most of the time the compiler will emit the corresponding bit shifting code.)
Not only that, those delays themselves tend to change depending on how 'busy' the instrument is, for instance, whether you are using layered patches, multiple notes at once, different instruments at once and so on. It can change from one note to the next, sometimes without any clear hint as to why that is the case.
I know how they work, but I’m really bad at arithmetic in general, so anything more than just basic operations (I do consider the above article pretty basic) and I’ve struggled to build stuff that required a lot of binary operations on values.
> We ought to have a culture where someone who behaves like this is laughed out of the building.

Some of us do, but the partisan politics have blinded many. We can't even agree on basic things any more, like supporting the Iraq war should be a disqualification for either party at this point. People keep supporting these liar, fraud, war criminal types.
And it's not as if Eritrean migrants or refugees are welcomed with open arms anywhere in the world, so there aren't that many in that position in the first place.
Not sure it deserves to be called garbage collector, too simple.

The approach is pretty close to arena allocation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Region-based_memory_management... The only twist, with modern 64-bit processors there’s no need for linked lists or multiple blocks, can instead add new physical pages into pre-allocated address space.

> Well, you know that you pay taxes on the country you live & work in ? So you have to find a job and a house in Cyprus.

Remote work? Or own a foreign company and pay yourself in dividends? These are extremely common cases.

> And on top of that, Cyprus is one of the few european countries that are not yet in the Schengen area. So you'll have to stay on the tiny 9,251 Square Kilometers.

That's not how Schengen works: Schengen is about being able to freely travel in the Schengen area without having to even show your passport / national ID card. For example I regularly cross borders, by car, between Belgium, France, Spain, Monaco and Andorra (Monaco is Schengen while Andorra, wonderful place on earth btw, is not, but Andorra has got agreements for free travel with France and Spain anyway) and I've never been asked my ID once. Heck, lately I've always been doing my PCR tests, as officially required due to the sars-cov-2 restrictions, and although it's mandatory to cross borders I've never been asked to show them.

A passport from Cyprus allows you to travel, without the need for a visa, to most countries in the world if I'm not mistaken. The thing is: because Cyprus is an island you'll very often be flying to/from there and you'll have to show your passport. But you're definitely not stuck on the island.

To clarify, I didn't mean to imply that reimplementation would be a legal issue.

I meant to imply that unlike the case with Windows/Wine, there is no reimplementation of the overwhelming majority of macOS APIs. So if you wanted to do this now, you could only do it by copying frameworks directly from macOS (which some people are doing for various reasons), and that does have some potential legal issues.

Theoretically, a reimplementation is possible. It doesn't exist, it's a huge project (far, far bigger than GNUstep), and as someone notes down-thread, it's also a moving target. There are also uncounted numbers of bugs in the current implementation of Apple's APIs, and for many things to work correctly you'd need to implement the bugs too since developers have designed around them.

Yes, Wine exists. But Wine started in 1993. The idea that a bit of hard work by some good developers is going to provide a reimplementation of the macOS frameworks in a year or three strikes me as without any foundation in reality.

Thanks. Yes, off-topic. Particularly considering that according to Genesis 13:2, Abraham (key for Paul's argument in Romans 4 for justification by faith) was "very rich in gold, silver, and cattle", and that in 1 Timothy 6, Paul warns Timothy not against riches per se, but against " the love of money".

Biblically speaking, its not whether one is rich or not, but whether one loves (or worships) riches and the associated power, or whether one uses his or her riches to serve God and love one's neighbor. Thus Paul wrote of learning to be content in plenty or in want, and James warns of not showing favoritism to the rich (echoing perhaps the Old Testament command to not pervert justice in favor of the poor or of the rich).

Trying to tie this thread back into the topic.... I guess it was good that when Abram emigrated from Ur in his home country, the Chaldeans Revenue Service didn't have the steep exit tax that the US imposes on rich emigrants.
