He's starting with an assumption that disregards any factors that could make the hypothesis he's trying to disprove correct, and so of course the statistics come out in his favor.
It’s too easy for citizens to move between states. You no longer need to cross the Atlantic in a Conestoga wagon. This freedom of movement punishes states that attempt to increase their quality of life too far above the national average far more than it punishes low-quality states with brain drain.

Until it doesn’t.

The number of enterprise projects I’ve seen that were “emergencies” due to neglecting updates is astonishing.

If you’re not updating a COTS or custom system at least semi-annually you’re going to have a zillion security vulnerabilities, and will lose all institutional knowledge of operations and upgrade of said system.

Then the stuff really hits the fan when you’re forced to upgrade due to EOL/EOS.

This is the real reason SaaS is now popular.

That's a good sign. Gnome has only become practical for me in recent years. I believe it's because its designers were from the original Mac OS era (pre OSX) where they favored too much simplicity at the cost of functionality. Maybe Hello designers are trying to get the balance of usability & functionality of OS X / modern Mac OS? If so, that's a great goal and I look forward to trying out what they have to offer in the near future.

Simpson’s Paradox takes many forms. If your sampling or measurement criteria are wrong, even subtlety, then the results are nonsense without anyone knowing. Practicing statistics in an area for which you are not an expert is almost always a bad idea.
highly doubt that
The medical conditions folks should probably be staying locked down. The vaccines aren't a guarantee that people around you aren't contagious; just a low likelihood that you will be very contagious if you get it.

If they're around lots of people, even vaccinated folks, they'll still catch covid and die
ISTR some states are asking people for their insurance details - and while refusing to give details or being uninsured won’t preclude you from getting the vaccine, I could understand how that would could act as a disincentive to poorer folk to getting vaccinated.

Great. I have had nothing but the opposite experience. What now? If I can deconstruct your argument that easily, it must not be a very strong argument to start with.
How did a lack of federal power cause the Great Depression? I can see how it took a strong Federal government to do that the states could not to end the Depression, but not how that lack of power was a cause of getting into that specific mess.
Even if you're not a judicial activist, originalism for a 250 year old constitution is practically speaking, insane and unrealistic. The industrial revolution hadn't even happened yet! We have no way of knowing what the founders would have thought about modern problems.

If this guess is right, then knowledge of historical racist medical abuses is actually strongly correlated with getting the vaccine.
They're very similar, but there are differences. Most notably, Thunderbolt 4 guarantees a minimum speed[0] for compliance, whereas USB4 has a lower minimum.

Also, I believe USB4 was designed for smaller files / blocks and Thunderbolt is designed for more raw output.

False positives, what if someone can poison the set of hashes, engineered collisions, etc. And what happens when you come up positive - does the local sheriff just get a warrant and SWAT you at that point? Is the detection of a hash prosecutable? Is it enough to get your teeth kicked in, or get you informally labeled a pedo by your local police? On the flip side, since it's running on the client, could actual pedophiles use it to mutate their images until they can evade the hashing algorithm?
My hypotheses are:

1. Some companies found a way to promote this type of blog articles past a certain threshold to stay on the front page long enough for... profits?

I'm really conflicted about this.

For context, I deeply hate the abuse of children and I've worked on a contract before that landed 12 human traffickers in custody that were smuggling sex slaves across boarders. I didn't need to know details about the victims in question, but it's understood that they're often teenagers or children.

So my initial reaction when reading this Twitter thread was "let's get these bastards" but on serious reflection I think that impulse is wrong. Unshared data shouldn't be subject to search. Once it's shared, I can make several cases for an automated scan, but a cloud backup of personal media should be kept private. Our control of our own privacy matters. Not for the slippery slope argument or for the false positive argument, but for its own sake. We shouldn't be assuming the worst of people without cause or warrant.

That said, even though I feel this way a not-small-enough part of me will be pleased if it is deployed because I want these people arrested. It's the same way I feel when terrorists get captured even if intelligence services bent or broke the rules. I can be happy at the outcome without being happy at the methods, and I can feel queasy about my own internal, conflicted feelings throughout it all.
If you read the post, he actually starts with a couple simple observations that show why the theory is ridiculous.

This doesn't seem like a hard question to answer. Black americans are underserved by the health care system in basically all other ways. They see fewer doctors, have fewer clinics in neighborhoods where they make up majorities, get fewer referrals from the same doctors, get discharged faster and receive less treatment for the same conditions... I don't have links, but studies like this are everywhere.

So, to me the question is just "Are black americans actually responding differently to the vaccine campaign at all, or are we just measuring an effect that's been there forever?"
> The excess death statistics would like to have a word with you

Independent of the rest of your argument, this one is not a good one to hinge on.

"Excess death" is a pragmatic term, not a normative term. The baseline death statistics doesn't mean those deaths were OK, or natural and acceptable to endure. They include many peer to peer (e.g traffic accidents) or institution to peer (many "lifestyle" diseases') deaths too, which in themselves are also excess deaths in comparison to another baseline (e.g. obesity related deaths in comparison to 1960s).

These feeds back to the arguments of risk tolerance and freedoms; there is a mutually tolerated, implicit risk of peer-to-peer death in driving too. I am not saying this is comparable to the risk of death by covid (it is obviously not), but we can't make principled arguments of absolute safety nor absolute freedom without keeping things proportional to the risks and freedoms we're already been balancing.

> Basic human rights were not lost from the world by smallpox or other vaccination mandates.

If we're being anal about it, it is not entirely true. People have a right to keep the functional and structural integrity of their bodies; and even enhancing immunization would be a change in that, and that has an element of intrusiveness to it. Again, being a transmitter of the virus and harming other people's bodies is also a threat to the functional and structural organization of those bodies, and that is (very) intrusive too, but two things can be true at the same time, and therefore this is not the principle to argue from.

The honest argument would be accepting the need for striking a balance, accepting the sense of anxiety from both sides, and not pushing conclusions into people. We have to have people participate in the rationality of the decision making, from a place of empathy and growth.

I hope this is a moment we can also realize that just like public health is a shared resource and lack thereof is a shared liability, public rationality and sound decision making capability is also a shared resource and lack thereof is a shared liability. We've been turning a blind eye to all sorts of media training people to be more and more polarized, using shaming as a short-term compliance tool that has long-term stupefying consequences. Now we depend on all of us coming to our senses to survive this thing; we need a herd immunity against irrational self-deception just as much.
That's way too big of a hypothetical to make any of the statistics derived from it worth anything.
No you don't; the vaccines were funded almost entirely with public money anyway.
Don't forget the part where 600,000 people died and literally every single measure to combat that was instantly turned into a political wedge issue, and then when the literal Science miracle cure arrived, people wouldn't take it because they are selfish, confused, afraid of needles, and hate each other.
>> we need the federal government to do things instead of leaving it up to the states.

Unless it concerns powers specifically given to the federal government by the US constitution that would be unconstitutional: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." (10th Amendment).

If you do not like the laws in your state, vote to change the laws.

If you do not like the laws in other states, discuss and persuade the voters of those states to change their laws.
> originalism wants it to be interpreted in the way it was originally written.

Originalists want it to be interpreted in the way it was intended. They go to great lengths to discover the original intent behind the law as it was understood at the time of writing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Originalism

I’m honestly amazed that any other position but originalism is considered rationally tenable. Laws are written with an intended meaning and understanding. The idea that the intent and meaning of law should change with time is ridiculous. The law should be changed if people come to find it disagreeable, not reinterpreted. Judicial activists seek to subvert the will of the legislature, and in that way they are criminals.
Please don't argue in the flamewar style on HN. You can make your substantive points without that.
The sad thing is it was a perfectly fine site before they ruined it. Having somewhere to point people to show them that no, Bill Gates wasn't giving away a million dollars or whatever was a handy service to have. Simple, non-controversial. The only ones that had a problem with it were the extremely gullible. Then they made the mistake of dragging politics into it, and it ruined the site, like it ruins everything.

If 99 out of 100 people are vaccinated, the remaining person should be fine. "Should be" is the key phrase here—there are no guarantees in life—but while vaccinated people can still spread the virus, they're still much less likely to do so.

It's all a probability game. Add to this that the sole unvaccinated person is the one most at risk in any given setting, and I'm really fine letting them make their own choices.

>> Is the key protected by passphrases?

> Yes, developers can enable securing the keys with a user-set 4-digit PIN that the user must input upon key recovery. This is optional for developers

Is this rate limited by the phone for access to the secret key?
It is misleading though, since this definition is merely ‘flattening the curve’ for the rest of human life, and accepting the increased death rate every year. By contrast, a successful vaccination effort also ‘flattens the curve,’ but additionally substantially reduces the rate of deaths. The latter is what we have observed happen with high confidence in the vaccinated population for COVID: deaths of vaccinated individuals is much less common than for unvaccinated (back of napkin math seems to currently be somewhere between 100-1000 to 1 across most age ranges)
That's a big if and amusingly detached. Consider the oral history of the Tulsa massacre and how many "educated" people didn't know about it.

There's is a lot of weight coming from a grand parent telling you "hey, this bad stuff happened back in my day so you can't trust these folks" vs reading it in a book and that's hard to quantify.

Fwiw I do think there are other factors at play more related to general socioeconomic issues. They just might also correlate strongly with race, zip code and a bunch of stuff.
>Long ago, he joined a company fresh out of college that pretty much measured dev productivity with number of lines written. He quickly realized that it was a red-flag, but jumping ship so soon was going to be hard to explain on a resume.

Sorry to hijack your comment, but I would like to say:

There are many, many good reasons why someone would want to quit a job after only a short period of time at a company (harassment being an obvious one). It took me a long time to realize this fact, and stop viewing a quick departure as a potential red flag and also stop asking questions like "Why are you looking for a new role?"

Someone leaving a toxic environment really doesn't want to spend any part of the interview talking about the past; they want to show you they will be a valuable member of your team, while also learning if your company is one they want to work for. We should all consider that the next time we are reviewing resumes and interviewing candidates.
Not really, gaslighting is convincing someone to question reality.
Your advice might be sound with the proper operating system choice, but the fact that you made such a glaring error in your initial comment makes it hard to take you seriously. It also brings into question whether you actually have a good understanding of privacy/security, or are just LARPing.

Eh, I don't see much difference between older MacOS versions such as Mountain Lion compared to Big Sur.

Similarly, I don't see much difference between Ubuntu desktop distros in terms of differences across versions , say from 16 to 20.

Therefore... I don't see a being "one step behind" as any kind of issue. I've never run into an issue with past versions (such as those menntioned above) of OSes not running what I need them to run.

Personally, I'd like to see a Linux version which is very close to Apple so I can use it (such as OP's), instead of expensive Apple computers.
