Welcome to the club. I've been consistently anti-censorship and pro-freedom-of-speech for as long as I can remember, and I lost touch with the majority here years ago. The sudden lurch toward authoritarian in the tech world was something that I didn't expect and that I still lament.
That's with some of the most extreme lockdowns in human history.
I’m a member of society, and I (along with many others) believe that we are way across the acceptable boundary between my individual rights and the risk everyone else should bear.

What do we do now? Do we need to fight a war to decide who gets things their way? There won’t be any real winners in such an event.
In reality money goes often goes into different buckets. This bucket may be used for it’s stated purpose while another bucket pays for misconduct.

People often care about what their investments and donations are actually used for. See charity scandals where donations pay for CEO bonuses.
there doesn't seem to be a way to opt back into it though. At the very least they should do that
I think most people will find that they'll get <100mbit over wifi. I had to design, buy, and implement 802.11ac stuff to get close to gigabit. And then wifi6/802.11ax came out and nothing wanted to play with Linux and wifi6. So I got a fiber media converter and put a switch on my desk backhauled over fiber to the "house switch" which is in turn backhauled to the server barn switch via fiber. Doing this prevents lightning from blowing up my wifi access points and NAS boxes, which has happened before, necessitating the need for fast WiFi in the first place.
In high school I noticed my sister wore glasses when going out with her friends, but never at any other time. And, after a year or two in high school, hasn't ever worn glasses (that I know of) for many years after. It was clearly just an affectation for her friends and her family just made fun of her in private about it.

You don't have to fool your family about stuff like this. Just your marks.
But I also get the point of view of the chrome Dev team if it's something like they just choose to not deal with so much feedback from people. I do the same thing that's why I disable issues on my popular open source projects....
Large reactors currently take at least 10 years to construct. The new small reactors are estimated to take at least 2-5 years.

These plants offer continuous power with minimal maintenance. Renewable equipment needs to be replaced and repaired at a higher frequency. They will also need storage and grid upgrades to stand as a direct replacement. They absolutely have a place in the energy profile. But, nuclear provides a type of base power that cannot be easily or cost efficiently accomplished by renewable technologies. We need to take advantage of the pros and mitigate the cons of each technology.
If you haven't read it yet, Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash is an excellent novel that explores something along those lines
I understand the hesitation here, but fundamentally this is like trying to close pandoras box. If something is technically possible to do AND governments demand it be done, it will be done. If not by Apple, by someone else.

Rather than complain about it, I am interested in what alternative solutions exist, or how concerns regarding privacy and abuse of this system could be mitigated.
There were two major events in US history that caused significant Federal power consolidation. Technically three, if you count the collapse of the government that was structured under the Articles of the Confederacy prior to the Constitution because it's lack of tax authority meant that it couldn't deal with the war debts that have been accrued from 1776 onward.

The first was the civil war, and federal power consolidated for obvious reasons. Easily half the states demonstrated that they could not be trusted to run their own affairs and protect the rights of the citizens enshrined in the Constitution.

The second was more subtle. The reinterpretation of the Constitution that occurred during the Great Depression granted the federal government the authority to regulate commerce within States under the interstate commerce clause. This authority drives everything from farm subsidies to drug regulation. It is a piece of federal power that people can reasonably argue about the virtue of, but in a modern comment deeply interconnected world it's reasonable to believe that the federal government needs limited central economic planning authority for the country to flourish.
This is quite good.
Supreme court acceded to the question of vaccine mandates on the grounds of maintaining public safety and keeping order trumped the 1st amendment.

The background was a polio outbreak in MA around 1905, with something like a 30% mortality among all age groups.

We are back to 1905, but now its not 30% that is at the issue, but some decimal to the right of zero.
I'm afraid it was 2+ years ago so I don't remember, but it must have been slower than the comparable speed from the gigabit wired connection. FWIW, I was so happy with the Sonnet (not as hot as some alternatives I've used) that I bought two more. However, unless you are using fiber or for other reasons preferring SFP+, going with the grain and getting 10Gbase-T is probably easier.

Getting back to the OP, this could be interesting for me if and only if I can get fiber based Thunderbolt-4, but it seems to not yet be available.
It still is, and likely will be for quite some time.

I suppose this is meant to try and preempt another Windows Vista situation. For people who buy windows machines, this strikes me as a good thing.
I think Mozilla should be more proactive about soliciting donations (esp. on a recurring basis). Put a "Donate" button into the new tab screen for example, or just prompt me every now and then like wikipedia does. Right now the "Donate" button is a tiny link in the footer of the Mozilla website.
What concerns me about that case and some of these other anecdotal stories with similar breakthrough percentages is that it can also speak to possible vaccine batch quality issues in a given region/area. The storage and transport of the mRNA vaccines is a bit complex already to ensure effectiveness.
Agreed; and to be clear, it’s great if both evolve separately. Building MacOS analogues is a great goal for BSD-based projects, especially given all the old machines that could use them, and I think will attract new folks to that community.
> To become vaccine evading, the virus has to have a host it can replicate it, and a host that is a resistant target.

Can you please explain more?

Why can't both hosts A and B both be vaccinated folks?

Is'nt there a 3rd category - those who have immunity via past infection? How do it work in that case?

---

If what you say above is correct, then why do we see new strains in flu?

Has'nt pretty much every person on earth been exposed to flu or vaccinated against it?
I have a Synology and use the iscsi feature for VMs that aren't even in the same building as the NAS, what sort of issues aren't solved in this sort of way?

Don't get me wrong I have nothing but problems with NFS and SMB access on the Linux clients. Windows works perfectly, as in whatever I set on the Synology is what I get on windows.

There's got to be a better way!
I agree with you (pro-vaccines) but the same can be said about "Your emergency approved vaccine fist is right in my face" is what the other side is probably thinking as well. Pesticides, removing lead from water, etc. do not happen on the client-side by taking an experimental pill that produces proteins to fight microplastics, heavy elements, etc.
this is exactly what is going down in developing countries

as soon as authorities announce a potential paper requirement , the literal next day there are touts selling the paper.
> I think it's more of the limitation of liability at this point.

Yeah that's definitely a big part of it. But that's for something for people to factor in on their own, if they so choose. It's not really a fact for the government to base mandates on, unless you only look at public health and ignore all other facets of the issue.

> Whether or not any central authority endorsed it is moot when 100 million doses have been given.

It might be moot from a public health standpoint, but it's not necessarily moot from a public policy or governmental standpoint. Like it or not, rightly or wrongly, it can have significant impact and repercussions if the government starts doing something half the population doesn't like, and then turns around and says, "Ok well, now we all agree the issue is moot, right? so let's force this thing onto everybody. Despite our own experts not having approved it yet."
I know what you mean. They somehow irritate my skin in a way that doesn't make any sense for a smooth surface to do.
It's not what exactly indicated by OP but I'd like to share. I would love to get into retro Apple computing especially the original Macintosh and Macintosh plus.

I use a 2015 MBP for work. It's a company computer so I am not allowed to install personal software. I feel it's a waste as I only run Pycharm and Data grip on it without really "using" and understanding the machine. I'm also a Windows person such that this is the first Apple product I own.

Somehow I got fascinated and did a bit of research, purchased an iBook G4 on ebay and immediately started to play with XCode. Bit I figured that the original Mac was more elegant and I love the fact that it has constrained resources so people were expected to use assembly from time to time.

That said, owning an original Mac is expensive plus it requires certain knowledge amd mindset that even iBook can't grow me into. It wad much like in the old days when we owned an IBM PC and everything including the system disk came and went from floppy disks. So I guess it requires a lot more money than I expected and I also need to learn where to turn to if it broke.
I agree, the worst part of the Aries project is the extreme egos associated with it - but i do really like the ideals.

Another example of over reach: Trust over IP [1]

Again congratulations of the launch, I am not advocating Aries but I am very interested. Especially the intersection of actual users (what you are doing) / pie-in-the-sky ideals

Product: we need to support doing x on a monthly cycle
Dev: Actually, months are a really inaccurate way of measuring time and we should convince all our clients not to use them.
CEO: you're fired.

Programming is the art of turning messy, real world, human problems into tools that work in the best way possible.

If you abdicate that responsibility, quite frankly, what use are you?
>vaccinated people get covid and spread it like unvaccinated[1]. Then what is the point of vaccination mandate? I really don't understand.

The point is to greatly reduce your chance going into ICU. Trust me, nobody like the intubation. Physicians don't like it, patients hate it.
That tweet thread is saying it will scan for hashes client side and upload the result, circumventing E2E encryption, but then says theyre just going to do it on your icloud backups because they dont have E2E encryption, so which is it?

All?
Sucks since we pay for icloud backups and get the lesser service
Projects like these will be always one step behind the thing they are trying to replicate (MacOS in this case). It is better to spend one's creative energy innovating and coming up with better solutions rather than re-implementing what Apple is doing.
Maybe we just like controlling each other's behavior? Maybe we can't handle more than one input dimension at a time, and even then that dimension needs to be binary?

> You're expected to know how to program if you use Lisp

I am pretty sure you are expected to know how to program if you use any programming language. And writing everything from scratch, instead of taking advantage of the work done by thousands of other skilled developers, is just silly. With that attitude, no wonders the world runs on C/C++ and not Lisp.
Well it goes back even before Google (Chrome) was a direct competitor.

Mozilla was going to walk away from Google's millions back in 2007. Here, the Mozilla CEO said: "We've spent a lot of time and energy making sure that Google understands that it cannot turn us into an arm of Google" [0]

That was their signal to make money without relying on Google's millions. That also provoked Google to create Chrome which, er... means that Mozilla turned Google into a direct competitor all by themselves.

Now 14 years later, Mozilla is still criticising Google, YouTube whilst receiving hundreds of millions from them. Due to that u-turn, I cannot take them seriously on anything about privacy or these sort of investigations at this point.

what do you find hateful? Do you not think that there is alot of politicized misinformation now that is making the current public health crisis worse? One of my best friends has fallen for qanon. He thinks that vaccine makes you magnetic and Michelle Obama is a man. Should we be ok with this? squarefoot does not say he wishes harm on anyone, he just sounds frustrated, and i can relate
And what happens when you still don't have enough people voluntarily vaccinating? Or businesses refusing to refuse business?

Not to mention turning every business into some sort of citizen police is a very weird concept in the US.
Sure, self preservation or self preference first. I get that. What about empathy to frail or at risk people? What about people on cancer treatments that diminish their immune systems? Those people even vaccinated may be at higher risk.

Are you saying that the greater good in overall societal health is less valuable than your individual preferred method of existence? Genuinely curious.
>The ISS is a special case. That requires a pilot who can take manual control should the docking system go wrong.

Yes, but the criteria for being that pilot has changed. Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur were Crew-2's commander and pilot. NASA hired both as mission specialists; neither would ever have been hired as shuttle pilots, as they don't have high-performance jet pilot experience (100% a requirement since NASA Astronaut Group 2) and neither went to test pilot school (not always a requirement, but pretty close to being so). I don't see any mention of fixed-wing flight experience in Kimbrough's NASA biography, something many mission specialists do have on their own.

SpaceX has enough confidence in its systems to have people like Kimbrough and McArthur piloting spacecraft, which is a testament to their training and SpaceX's fly-by-wire systems. But the piloting they do is very simplified to what shuttle and previous NASA spacecraft required.
In most states, Private schools are subject to the same rules as public schools.

Compared to the Reddit discussions in the COVID subreddit, these comments are publishable in Lancet.

I look forward to the full CDC approval that will validate your presumption about any given vaccine’s efficacy and safety. Right now, the manufacturers have no “skin in the game”…no legal liability. I assume that liability will return with full CDC approval, instead of emergency approval that they have now. (My personal peripheral understanding)

You see, there is a fourth choice, wait on vaccination until those making a vaccine are willing to accept the normal legal responsibility for the products injected into your body. Depending on your personal risk and risk exposure profile and your level of skepticism in an emergency drug, it may be the prudent personal choice. There are even other choices as well. There is more in Heaven and Earth than dreamt in your decision tree.
> private public space

Please explain further what that means.

Also please explain how setting restrictions on use of the space based on conduct, such as being vaccinated or not, is more arbitrary than, say, a dress code.

They could take money from Google and be more impartial though, that would go a long way convincing people that they are independent.

For example, they have a built-in, official Facebook Container, while the the Google Container[1] is a third party unofficial extension which is not even among the "Recommended" extensions (even though other similar privacy-focused extensions are in that list).

People talking about cheap 10G/40G are getting it used on eBay. They have a bad habit of comparing used prices against new prices without disclosing it. For example, if you're talking about new equipment, 40G is obsolete and you should buy 25G/50G instead. But used 40G is super-cheap because it's obsolete.
How well did the states do at running their own vaccine programs? How well did it work when some states recognized gay marriage and others did not? Having nationwide consistency is important for many issues.
Numeric data may be missing for any number of reasons. Storing the reason, as opposed to just null, could be useful.
wow.. Australia ranks 4th.

be interesting to run the numbers again given the last year and a half...
Sure: if they can prove it. But since that's hard and expensive and there is no effective risk to a vaccine (particularly if you definitely are naturally immune, as it would be an antigen response your body is already mostly familiar with and not trigger any primary immune responses), we do the other thing.

I am literally working with vaccination registry APIs right now which have an explicit system for registering and tracking natural immunity.
I guess that beats doing Pulse Check surveys.

I mean obviously there are internal problems if that many people are disengaged to the point of needing to be let go, but after reading the letter, if the company follows through on helping everyone find a new job, it could have been worse?
The CL community clearly doesn’t value working together to make Lisp a real world productive language. That’s why the world runs on C/C++ and not Lisp.
Honestly, the legislative branch can take most of the power anytime it wants. The Supreme Court interprets laws when they are vague, or when they are unconstitutional. It is loathe to consider things unconstitutional when they are plainly constitutional. But the deep division in American politics has resulted in a legislature that is almost incapable of considering major legislation that has lasting impact on Americans, much less passing it. They can certify a stamp or name a post office anytime, but something with as many moving parts as Obamacare was nearly a decade in the making and barely lurched over the finish line as a crude simulacrum of the original plan.

There's a reason Congress tends to enjoy a low-teens approval rating on aggregate (all Americans continue to vote the same legislators back into office year after year after year).
Yubikey webauthn over RDP works just fine for me.
That's pretty common, in my experience. People read "suspect" and hear "guilty". Reagan's Attorney General Ed Meese once said in an interview, "you don't have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That's contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect".

As best I can tell, the average person interprets "innocent until proven guilty" to mean something like, well, you can't put him in jail until he's convicted, but once he's caught, that's just the court system.

It's a well-known fact that the US criminal justice system disproportionately arrests, prosecutes, and imprisons Black and Hispanic Americans, and has for a while. I'm surprised to find that my expectations of the HN community were too high.
People who like and listen to and respect Sam Harris -- do you believe he is _not_ a bigot?

Or is that why you like him?

Or, do you listen to him in spite of it?

Peterson has said many objectionable things over the years, but I see him as more of _just_ a charlatan huckster-type, as opposed to a _racist_ charlatan huckster-type, like Harris, and Maher, and Dawkins, etc.
The technology is mostly not the limiting factor for movies any more. You can make a competent film using a $5-10k camera and lenses, some lights, microphones, and a computer program. There are youtubers that make a game of doing good movies with crappy cameras.

What's missing from that picture is expertise and skill on the part of the camera operators, the director, the actors, the writers, and other participants. And the marketing. Those are the bits that are expensive, not the tech.
Want to bet that there was a round of human review applied after the algorithm ran where, at a minimum, employees judged to be high-performing (or otherwise favored) were saved even though they were initially flagged by the AI/data analysis?
It's worth noting that both organization's posts are factually correct, but discussing different terms. Facebook considers the advertisers their users as well and obviously sets their own ToS, so this post is a non sequitur from their point of view as it is discussing FB's other (non-advertiser/customer) users.
We should all be concerned about what’s going on here. A company such as facebook, who’s entire existence is built around vacuuming up as much information about us that it can manage.

A company who’s ethics tell itself this is totally OK flies into a panic when researchers collect a relatively tiny amount of data on how facebook’s massive ocean of information might be manipulated by malicious outside actors to steer wider societal behaviors.

If they fly into a panic about this, it means they understand very well how dangerous or impactful even a small amount of information collection can be.

They get very upset and put together entire projects condemning companies like Apple for daring to limit their access to our devices.

I’d like to know why they believe we (society) should trust them at all if they’re not at all willing to be transparent in return.

Their data collecting has always been troubling, but I think their reaction to outside studying is very concerning and combined with their past behaviors should raise our concern levels by a lot.
