A few thoughts, after reading the other seven comments:

How long do you care about the lives you touch, and life on earth in general, surviving? If beyond your own, lobbying those who make regulations that guide the actions of many more than you is a priority. Relates to “build relationships with your neighbors”, on a grand scale.
Start, however small, increasing the carbon content of your soil (anywhere you can, ehich might be by volunteering at a community garden) by composting food waste, cardboard, paper, yard waste, etc. I’ve had good results adding my urine to our compost and diluting it with water for the garden; adds N, saves housewater. Working towards recycling poop. I also add wood ashes for the K, and am practicing how to pyrolize rather than fully combust wood scraps.
Promoting the health of microbes, invertebrates, insects, birds, small mammals, on up to beaver, deer, elk, cougars, and wolves (again, depends on location; maybe the most you see more of is birds and smaller) is helpful, as these animals eat and excrete on the land. More diverse plants will help more animals get by, and eventually some sort of forest landscape (including cacti as trees in deserts) will help provide shade and food and cleaner water. In the midwestern US, returning in part to the deep roots of prairie grasses and the beaver-engineered wetlands will help buffer against extreme weather.

To get to this “re-wilded” state we’ll need to reprioritize how we collectively convert energy. Want to keep burning hydrocarbons? Let’s do it in the interest of improving energy-conversion methods that don’t contribute so much to climate change.

Promoting the care of people that live nearby, downwind, and downstream from chemical plants, smelters, etc. is a way to help, too. See How to Save A Planet podcast for more.

And so many more authors trying to push for awareness and change that aligns more closely with values of stewardship and reciprocity rather than dominion and exploitation. I will die, I’m okay with that, and I care less about being remembered than about other people continuing a healthier human story for millennia to come.

The guidelines https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ask to use the original title "If You Paid Your Debt to Society, You Should Be Allowed to Work", or perhaps a subtitle if the title is too clickbaity.

If you have something interesting to add, write a comment. For example, your comment here

Sometimes you can cheat and add the author to the title, like If You Paid Your Debt to Society, You Should Be Allowed to Work [by Jamie Dimon]". But there is a high chance that the mods will remove the remark.

Oh, this is not even remotely true. Our medical infrastructure is a limited, contended resources. When the medical system got overrun for several month, the risk is not only passed to those anti-vaxxers but also to those who with serious other medical conditions.
I can see an Alcohol Prohibition-like black market emerging. Exciting times!
This is what I'm thinking: One day this might be a business. Someone has to pay to remove debris, and I'm just wondering who will pay enough?

Even here on the surface there are places with debris not cleaned up, because the cost is too high.

I think the services aspect is the way to go. Forget about debris. Yes that's a big problem, but it doesn't seem to have a sufficiently motivated customer.
The Ultimate Hackers Keyboard has exactly that as a module you can attach to the keyboard.
It is absolutely a hard problem. It is a hard problem being hit with the full weight of a fantastic amount of money and intellect to get it right the first time.

When the contrary position is not generally the position of either genuine goddamned loons or the much more unfortunate case of people given historically very valid reasons for hesitancy that in this case no show sign of being true, there might be a reason to re-evaluate that stance.

Right now? I'm good.
You won't stop mutations. It's a pandemic, world-wide - and short of blocking all international travel, freight/shipping, etc - if there is a new mutation somewhere in the world, it will eventually land here in the US.

Herd immunity - either reached by vaccinations, previous-infections, or both - is all we can hope for.

Good news is, we don't need unvaccinated people's cooperation to reach herd immunity - they will eventually have natural immunity anyway.
They only have to be cheaper than Visa and have a dead simple integration process. After the fixed cost of integration, the retail pays nothing to have the option - and if a prospective customer does use the service, then they might make a little bit more than if that customer had used a Chase Sapphire Reserve
Cool site! If you'd like a bit constructive feedback, the autofolding menus were a bit slow to open and anxiety inducing.
In the beginning of the video they were high up and I feared Elon could fall to his death and that would bring "all of human's progress to a halt". They not only work 24 hours and 7 days a week (In 12 hour shifts: 3 days and 4 days in a row, then 3/4 days off), but they also rush things, with tight deadlines, ofc. top-notch workers/engineers, but still. No fatalities while working like this (I googled it the other day) - It all looks dangerous.
I searched for your username in the Bolt fire comments and didn't see it. So your big problem is that that article got fewer comments than this one, while you comment on this article and not that one?

Mmm, Stronghold. Tax and ration tiers were an interesting mechanic for morale management. That game also had perhaps the most intricate siege simulation I've seen (ignoring the fact that many historical sieges had attrition as the goal). Had quite the large community of map and castle makers.
Nuclear is far from the best source of electricity, but it is far less damaging to the environment than coal or NG if handled and designed properly. If countries can work together to put them in places that protect from major earthquakes or other natural disasters then I think we can get some decent movement on reduce GHG emissions from power plants.
Do they scan it with a call to the cloud to verify it? That's the real threat here - continuous tracking, ability to turn it off or geo fence you to a certain area.

Can you point to anything that backs up that claim?
it significantly cuts down on the incentive, though.
What about the lingering effects of the vaccine? Many seem to have this tiredness or general unwellness.

I agree in principle that if there's a safe bed available, setting up a tent in a park should be illegal. But reality is complicated and there are lots of edge cases.

Theft and assaults happen at shelters, so maybe there's a bed available but do people feel safe? If you were assaulted at a shelter would you want to return the next night? Forcing people to chose between two unsafe options (shelter or jail) feels cruel.

Addiction also complicates things. Should a shelter allow substance abuse? If so it can be a really bad place for recovering addicts. If shelters do not allow substance abuse, then addicts have no place to legally exist. If locking them up actually helped their addiction that might be ok, but it does not.

There are other problems with shelters. Many of them have weird hours and capacity limits. Many are gender segregated. What people need is a space where they feel safe, they can store their belongings, they can come and go as needed to get to appointments and services, they can live with a partner or on their own. These are the things that will help people get back on their feet, overcome addiction, etc, and "shelters" are totally inadequate.
> otherwise the people will remember

This breaks the immersion.
> Also, you wouldn’t feed human edible vegetables to animals, that would be very wasteful.

...yes, you would. What else could you feed them?

Animals get lower-quality stuff. Wheat for people and oats for horses. But it's not like people can't eat oats.
While this is true (my mother works as a homeless community outreach nurse in a "destination" state and has talked to individuals who show up as a result of this) its only a tiny trickle of the torrent.

A huge, huge number of your local homeless population is just that, local. A plurality of them are homeless due to unaddressed mental health issues. Solving homelessness completely may be impossible, but better mental health treatment infrastructure would get us a lot closer.

> The rise of homelessness is almost equal to the decline of single occupancy housing (flophouses, chicken wire hotels, etc).

This has specifically been a huge problem in cities with expensive real estate like Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is why the free market approach to fixing the housing crisis doesn't work. The land is so expensive that it doesn't make financial sense to waste it on low margin affordable housing. Developers realize this, snatch up the current options for housing of last resort like SRO buildings, knock them down, and build luxury condos. Supply of the bottom of the market is decreased in favor of supply at the top of the market and this new construction often is less dense than the housing it replaces. People argue that the new supply will eventually trickle down, but that new supply is always snatched up by people moving into the city leaving the people who used live there with no place to go.

There needs to be regulation to force the construction of affordable housing in these markets as the free market has shown it won't be built otherwise.
I can't tell if you're being facetious or not, forgive me.

We can't base policy off something that effects an extreme minority of the population, like this 2.7% statistic you cited. We'd never do anything if that were the case...

The affected people should take all necessary precautions available (get vaccinated if applicable, wear a N95 or KN95 mask, shelter isolated at home, etc). Everyone else needs to go back to work, school, stores, restaurants, etc.
There is a subset, no matter how small, that has lost control due to their drug habits and they need to get on their feet. Drug habits can grow beyond anyone's strength to beat and the best way to combat that is through a rehab program that prevents you from stopping the process.

Drug addiction runs in my family and we had to do the same for my uncle. Several weeks of keeping him on a short leash impacted the rest of his life and he was able to take care of his family unlike before. It's not pleasant and it requires a tremendous amount of willpower and people under that spell need every bit of help that can get.
Looking at the history of disease, that's pretty unlikely. Traditionally, the optimal virus is going to get more contagious, but far less deadly; a disease that kills its host rapidly generally burns itself out.

Now, the consequences of getting to that more optimal virus I'm a lot more hazy about.
Also, more than a few of those chronic drug addictions are self-medicating for other conditions that are only tangential to housing itself and aren't going to get any better if you take the drugs away without offering other support.
Sure. Some are even going so far as to
ban vaccinated people from their establishments as well.

I have seen implementations of type erasure/delegates that store an instance pointer and pointer-to-member-function as an instance and pointer-to-member-function of a dummy type with the same calling convention. It's interesting how many different member function pointer sizes Windows has. Undefined behavior and compiler dependent, but consistent.
The landing page says it's $59/year for premium functionality, but the actual pricing page says it's $90/year (which violated my expectations as a customer, unless I misunderstand what's happening.)

> “She [Simone Weil] intrigued me because of her great reputation for intelligence and her bizarre get-up... A great famine had broken out in China, and I was told that when she heard the news she had wept: these tears compelled my respect much more than her gifts as a philosopher. I envied her having a heart that could beat right across the world. I managed to get near her one day. I don’t know how the conversation got started; she declared in no uncertain tones that only one thing mattered in the world: the revolution which would feed all the starving people of the earth. I retorted, no less peremptorily, that the problem was not to make men happy, but to find the reason for their existence. She looked me up and down: ‘It’s easy to see you’ve never been hungry,’ she snapped.”

> However, also in Banished it is your goal to overcome the stagnation and lead your settlement to expansion.

Is it? My view of banished was always that the goal was survival and living with the finite resources. Of course at some point you realize that with your foresters, miners, stonecutters, tailors, brewers, priests, teachers, blacksmiths and all the other people you need you have to build more food production, which requires more people and so on.

But I have never felt in banished that my goal is expansion, my goal was always a stable equilibrium that I could hold without touching it. It's sort of like software development for a specific problem, the best solution is one you never have to think about again.
Can, or do? How frequently? How much lower is their viral load, on average, than an unvaccinated person's?

You are either making a truly extraordinary claim, or are supporting my point. If vaccination significantly reduces viral load in 95% of cases, it's true that it might not reduce it for everyone. But it makes a huge difference, in terms of public health. Both epidemics, and viral infections are a numbers game. Reduce the denominator in an exponent, or a constant multiplier, and you get the difference between life and death.
A professional is useful even if they have to refer you to someone who has to prescribe you a solution, even if it’s ketamine recommendation.
That would be awesome, but unfortunately the CCP have proven to us that we can't trust their word.
How long does it take to plan and build a nuclear plant? At the rate solar, wind and energy storage are improving, will it be worth the wait? Solar has dropped in price by more than 80% in the past 10 years.

Ok well since you're playing the race baiting game can I assume that you're fine with the criminal activity leading to small sentences on Jan 6th?

Why don't you tell us how allowing more criminal activity and giving people less harsh sentences is going to fix minority communities? Does it work along the same lines as throwing them free money?

>Wasn't even going to go there, but if you are going to let your racist

But you did and you did so because you have a lame rebuttal no good logical argument to defend your bs. When you label everyone who upsets you racist it starts to make the word meaningless so good job on that front. "Look another racist! See... no one cares"

Ah, right you are then.
Exactly this -- people have just seized on the the "not FDA approved" line because it sounds reasonable if you don't really understand how FDA approval works or what it really means. As soon as it's approved, the goalposts will absolutely move to "well, I don't trust the FDA".

For those "waiting for FDA approval", have you ever taken a vitamin supplement? Guess what, you're putting not-FDA-approved chemicals into your body.

But sure, I was exaggerating. I should have said 10-15k where you will find more examples that are less deadly to drive :)

But actually, I agree with the other comment. I would be surprised if the automotive industry doesn't manage to force us all into car subscriptions.

For the first little while you'll have to buy the car and the subscription, but over time the upfront cost will be less and the subscription will get bigger.
I don't understand calling it a nanny state. The government punishes you for not wearing a seat belt, children are excluded from school if they aren't vaccinated, drunk driving is illegal. Other than fda approval is the covid vaccine any different? if you're worried about the long term side effects and thus choose not to get vaccinated shouldn't you expect to not participate fully/freely in society (a la children's vaccines or repeat drunk-driving offenders)?
I live in a purplish city in a reddish state that never makes national news for homelessness, and something's gotten way, way worse about homelessness in this city over the last decade. Even out in the 'burbs, where you never used to see homeless people. All over. I hear there are some long-term tent camps in parts of the city, too, which are new in the last couple years.
> Foundation does this. No road building at all. Paths are created organically by activity.

You can put the roads where you want them by placing taboo zoning where you don't want them. Foundation's villagers have an unnaturally strong preference for staying on existing roads, so this is necessary if you want to straighten a road that was kinked due to an obstacle that no longer exists.

> In addition, the player never builds houses either. The townspeople pick where they want their house to go.

This is even less accurate; the townspeople can only build houses in areas that have been actively zoned for housing.

And their "desirability" requirements also mean that they won't build houses unless you've specifically built a lot of decorations nearby, so even if you zone everywhere houses will only appear in places where you make an effort to get them to appear.
The Supreme Court has ruled that states can mandate vaccinations: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobson_v._Massachusetts

I’m not sure why the misconception that freedom is absolute in the US is so widespread.
They have they’re called homeless shelters. Cities shouldn’t actively endorse camping by marking areas and if you think they should would you like to volunteer the streets outside and surrounding your house.

Homeless people should be interviewed and those with mental illnesses treated by the state as they are objectively sick people in need of help. Homeless people under 18 should be taken into care. Homeless people over 65 showing senile ageing conditions should be asked if they want to go into retirement homes.

Outside of this homeless people should be treated with decency and respect as adults capable of full agency. They should face the consequences of their disregard of the rules. Punishments should be scaled but society should not feel sorry for drug addicted homeless people and actively enable them to keep ruining theres and others lives. This provides an easy scapegoat for homeless people who have nothing wrong with them.
The numbers being talked about earlier (17 per 10k people) come from HUD. The US legal definitions matter to their reporting

> The cables and cards for PC Thunderbolt retrofit are far (like 3-5X!) more expensive than the MLNX cards and optical cables.

I added new Thunderbolt3 PCIe cards (Gigabyte Titan Ridge) to two of my 2012 Mac Pros for around $100 each a bit over a year ago and the prices have dropped since, so I don't get how that is 3-5x more expensive than MLNX cards. Expense was way way lower a factor than the finesse it took to get MacOS to support them for me, but it was the only path that worked for my needs (different need than OP article) and so I endured the pain of getting it working.

Also an assassin guild may be paid to do it discretely - i.e. disappear someone rather than just kill. That would allow for more assassinations per year to go unnoticed.

One nice thing about a molten salt reactor like China is building is that the dangerous fission products are chemically bound in the salt. If some external event breaks the reactor wide open, the salt cools and you just have radioactive rocks there on the site, instead of a radioactive cloud over a large region.
