If you're polling, I'll go out on a limb and say yes.

Obviously triage is more complicated than that, and acuity is always going to be the dominant factor. But if you have limited resources and have to make hard choices about who gets treatment, I don't see why vaccination status shouldn't be considered.
> Government can't just do whatever they want if they also being surveilled.

No? Because it seems to me if you're the one with power, you have a lot less to fear from surveillance, than if you're without. Say there's only one political party allowed (officially or unofficially) - that means it is free to organize and act as a political party, while if you were to try and start your own, you'd be jailed.
1. Anyone under 12 is extremely unlikely to suffer severe issues from COVID

2. Same could be said about Cancer, the Flu, or obesity

3. Same could be said specifically about over-vaccinating. High levels of vaccinations have been known to cause super-bugs.

The Chinese government starved and murdered 50+ million of its own citizenry. Spare me.
This is classic market protectionism. Lock the consumer into a product ecosystem, charge them every time something goes wrong, and make it very hard to fix things on your own.

What if there was a law that banned exclusive repair contract? For example it says here that Taylor requires that you call out a service technician. What is the company could not make that demand? What if by law you could call any technician you wanted to to come and work on your machine (accepting liability for damage of course).

Would that help?

>Burning wood is net zero.

Nope, when you do that, you're moving CO2 into the atmosphere.

I get your point, "but what if you somehow made that wood explicitly to burn it", but the whole idea is to sequester carbon and keep it out, remove it. Fossil fuel's CO2 also came from the atmosphere, no sane person would suggest that burning it is net zero.

This is a really poor take. At no point in our history is there anything approaching a sudden cessation of human industry and activity that is core to your thought experiment. You are comparing geologic, astronomical, and evolutionary changes that are incredibly gradual for the most part when compared to human activity. By using your exact same logic I can easily "prove" that the massive increase in CO2 that has happened in the past 150 years is impossible.

Your analogy is exactly like saying that since the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Tunnel_State_Park took a million years to form, it's impossible for humanity to create 1000 foot tunnel in less than a million years.
Many people start coding at a young age. Imagine your kid having to report their dapp to the IRS. It's not about the money. It's about the control.

The situation is probably worse for adults. Why go through the hassle of developing dapps when it means dealing with the IRS and potentially jail, etc.? Personally I've abandoned working on completely harmless dapps because of threats from the state. It's stifling for independent development.

On the other hand, when people compare this to China banning mining, I think the USA is far friendlier to crypto than China, because, as the ascending fiat superpower, China has much more to lose. As the dollar continues to devalue, the USA would most likely prefer a future based on Ethereum rather than the Yuan.
Anyone know of secular support groups for addiction? I've been abused growing up because of religion and the people that's worked for it.

Hm... Do any processors have native instructions for that? Like, swap "AA BB CC DD" into "DD CC BB AA", or perhaps "CC DD AA BB"? Maybe moving stuff from big- to little-endian or vice versa is too niche for that to be worthwile to implement in silicon (or microcode).

Anyway, speaking of endianness, ObPetPeeve: US date formatting -- fricking middle-endian! (And now, looking for that pithy quote about middle-endianness I can't find, I note that according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness some machines actually were middle-endian. Sheesh...)
Clearly we're talking about different interpretations of "taxing carbon". I'm quite uninformed, but the simplest thing would be to tax fossil fuel companies per unit of raw fossil fuel they extract from the ground. That's it. They can't lie about how much they extracted: that's securities fraud. Splitting into smaller companies, offshoring, IP licensing or other elaborate tax avoidance mechanisms don't work because you aren't taxing "net income" or anything else that can be gamed.

If a country refuses to impose the same tax on its domestic fossil fuel extractors, tariff or embargo all of its exports until it complies.

This will only work if the biggest importers start doing this right away.
I do not see a market for this product:

* People for whom this product matters ( those who don't have much money and hence should welcome the earning upside no matter how small the interest is, should not use this product because it is an investment account masquerading as a DDA account and could lose value. Having living expenses in an unstable account is just a plain bad financial advice.

* People who have a pile of money want their cash to be cash and cash only. They already have exposure to the market via investment accounts with checks/debit cards against them provided by the likes of Schwab, Fidelity, BOA, Chase and their immediate liquidity needs are addressed via revolving credit lines.
> They go with the company

...that is the bigger name and perceived as lower risk, better enterprise support, and fits with less internal work in their broader strategy even if that means sacrificing feature speed.

I mean, at least, most of the established market, rather than startups burning through VC dollars. But even the latter is likely to do one stop shopping with a big cloud vendor like Amazon unless particular features of an alternative are key to their business.

I'd say, anyone who doesn't want to catch and/or spread COVID. The delta variant is infecting people who have the vaccine. They have an easier time with it thanks the vaccine, but like a condom, it's not 100% effective at preventing transmission.

And no, there is no such conflation on my part. Once again: cryptocurrency is, by and large a collection of scam artists and shysters. Cryptography is a branch of discrete mathematics.

The thing is that actual anti-authoritarianism is quite rare. The litterbug in your example is still choosing their actions based on authority. And most anti-mask/anti-vax seem to be following authorities, but malevolent ones. From a libertarian perspective, a refrain of "freedom" about what is ultimately herd action is a performative fig leaf that burns goodwill towards the general concept.

If the Covid situation were transposed onto drugs, it's as if hard drugs were legal but still discouraged, and we had an entire political movement turning themselves and their kids into junkies just to spite public health.
There are a few cases where they haven’t chosen to - mostly people under 18 whose parents are antivax.

Or elderly people under guardianship of antivax - like my grandma being cared for by my aunt (though I doubt my grandma would have received the vaccine even if she was fully capable of making decisions, from past comments).

There’s also the fact that every cell producing the virus has the chance of making a mutation that will ravage the global poor who cannot receive vaccines because production is limited and the rich are hoarding them.

I am sympathetic to your viewpoint though. If I had a magic wand and could ensure the immunocompromised and others wouldn’t be harmed I’m OK with letting the willingly non vaccinated reap their own consequences.

Because they are little more than theater. They are mainly a social signal at this point. If you:

- fervently wear a mask

it is a social signal that you are 100% on board with any/all government public health mandates.

- fervently don't wear a mask

it is a social signal that you are 100% NOT on board with any/all government public health mandates

- wear a mask depending on if the people around you are wearing a mask

it is a social signal that you don't have strong opinions either way and that you don't want to offend anyone or get called out so you just follow the crowd to blend in

I can deduce whether someone thinks like me based on if they use a mask like me.
I think people are choosing this hill to die on because give an inch, take a mile. I think there’s something fundamentally wrong with a group of people feels like they can force another group to do as they are told, specifically to wear a certain item, or have a certain label. Masks have not been shown to be useful, yet there is a Cabal of people who are absolutely devoted to the idea. I think they have internalized masks as their badge of honor, and get upset that others don’t agree with them.

In short, I think the push to require the wearing of masks is rooted more in personal ego than it is in actual health benefits.
I 100% get this one.

A company has an obligation to protect their customers' data, due to GDPR and a variety of other privacy rules. If one of their people - employee or contractor - has access to customer data, the company must mitigate it being stolen. In an office environment, they could do that by limiting personal devices, barring notes and other information going out.

When these positions become WFH - even with a company owned/managed device - they have an entire new class of threats to mitigate: personal devices, shoulder surfing, etc by not the employee but someone standing next to them.

While I hate the surveillance aspects, I want my account information protected and I don't see a better approach in an uncontrolled/unknowable environment.

> So aside from being responsible for the bad actors they choose not to exclude, they should also be responsible for the actors they unfairly or disproportionately exclude.

I entirely agree. I think that this could be made quite general: when a private entity is in a position of gatekeeping a large proportion of a market (say, 30%), then it should automatically have a universal service obligation - unable to arbitrarily choose not to do business with those it finds inconvenient. "Fired" customers should have legal recourse under the universal service obligation. Abuse (by a fired customer) would be an acceptable reason to fire that customer, but the business would have to demonstrate abuse to a legal standard of proof.

Business owners might consider this to be an unfair burden. I see it from a socialist perspective: if you're a big player, that's the burden you must bear in order for the market to remain a fair place to do business.

They have been shown to disrupt key aspects of human communication. Personally, I've had friends tell me how much they like that everyone is in masks because they no longer strike up conversations during random encounters, say in the grocery store.

It contributes to a sense of permanent emergency which should be gone by now given that the vast majority of the at-risk population is vaccinated. At this point I don't see the purpose of attempting to stop or slow the spread of an endemic respiratory virus, that is just a fool's errand at this point.

They also probably don't work, or at least not very well. People used to point to the Asian countries that hadn't had big outbreaks as evidence that population-wide mask compliance could work to prevent transmission, but that is no longer the case as they have all had big outbreaks. Even China had to halt traffic in and out of Wuhan recently.
I did a quick Google for the Power Conversion Efficiency of Barium Titanate based solar cells and they are currently mostly in single-digit percentages [1].

Having built a model to identify sensitive data having a solid data labeling solution would be awesome. I can attest this is a real problem. Here's the library we built:

https://github.com/capitalone/DataProfiler

In this space, Prodigy really dominates:

https://prodi.gy/

We actually built our own internal system which integrates and can export the labels (does predictive labeling, etc). Of course, we only focused on text data at the moment.

All that being said, this is going to become a crowded space and highly competitive. Plus, once the data is labeled companies often drop their labelers. I would recommend ensuring some consistent use. Potentially, hosting their models off-prem or something to lock companies in.
I recently learned about the idea of the "global carbon reward", which is an idea to create a monetary (meaning not fiscal) incentive to reduce or capture carbon emissions. Kind of like a gold backed currency is based on gold mined from the ground but based in carbon "mined" from the air. And through the monetary route it doesn't create any direct expenditure or debt on govt balance sheets, a bit like quantitative easing that is happening anyway.
