I appreciate your observations, but don't agree with your conclusion:

Javascript provides a decent API for interacting with the DOM dynamically. I understand you're frustrated with culture, community, and tooling, but you can still use Javascript without these to make web pages interactive in a way you can't do pure server-side. The MDN web docs are a great place to start.

They should, but they weren't auto fuses, and Ace Hardware didn't sell them either.

This is self-awareness issue. At what point did you realise you'd wandered into the wrong shop for your target segment? Judging by the misrepresentation of the genuine preferences of folks like me, as being somehow nonsensical or antithetical, I suspect, "not yet".

> My point still stands, though: an equal or greater number of people under 18 are lost every year to influenza than have been lost to Covid.

This is false if you include the period during which COVID-19 has been around in “every year”, because COVID countermeasures also suppress the flu. Without COVID countermeasures, and without vaccination for most kids, COVID would kill far more than the flu normally does. Now, the COVID vaccine right now is more effective than the flu vaccine usually is (but that may be temporary if COVID is endemic and different variants proliferate), so with vaccines available to younger kids than now that might get evened out or reverse, but right now COVID is clearly far more deadly to kids.

I recognise you may not have the backstory on why this is the case.

Australia relied mainly on AstraZeneca and the UQ molecular clamping vaccine for its vaccine strategy, both of which could be manufactured locally. It signed other contracts for vaccines lackadaisically and with a late delivery time.

AstraZeneca is less effective than mRNA vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna, and causes a rare blood clotting condition that's fatal at a rate of 1 per millions. The UQ molecular clamping vaccine failed clinical trials despite being effective because it caused some patients to return a false positive result for HIV. This meant that domestic vaccine production in Australia was limited to one less effective vaccine that sometimes (very rarely) kills the people who get it, which the media have had a field day with.

The government now faces the problem of having millions of doses of a vaccine that few people want, few doses of the vaccines everyone wants, drug manufacturers who've already signed agreements with everyone else, a low rate of infection (due to lockdowns) that means they don't deserve emergency support, and a population that has no idea what's happening because the situation is complicated.

On top of this, the government has made some bad decisions with the roll-out itself. It doesn't allow the age groups most vulnerable to COVID-19 to receive the marginally safer and significantly more effective mRNA vaccines, on the basis that this age group has a clear benefit from receiving AstraZeneca and a lower risk of blood clotting, so there's significant vaccine hesitancy and less effective vaccine coverage among the very group who's most likely to die from the disease. It also didn't allow young people to receive the AstraZeneca vaccine for a long time, and even now requires them to give informed consent to a doctor or pharmacist before receiving it, so the roll-out requires finding qualified doctors and pharmacists as well as nurses, at a time when the medical system is already strained.

I would give them a challenge/response to post in their HN user page and restrict it to accounts >4 years old and >500 karma.

Well, you asked ...
This is great in theory but in reality no such distinction exists. For example, is trying to read a missing file a failure of the code, or a failure of the user? It could easily be either, the developer hardcoded the file path wrong during development, or the user selected a wrong path in a CLI, ... the distinction between errors and exceptions must made by the call site, not the definition site. The code calling readFile() knows whether the error is recoverable or not. readFile() itself does not, so the same mechanism should be used for both errors and exceptions.

All this was figured out decades ago, that's why exception systems were invented, but language designers keep making the same mistake over and over again in an effort to simplify the unsimplifiable.

Junctions are where drivers tend to kill cyclists, so junction improvements are far more effective than anything along the "normal" road. Bike boxes and, ideally, dedicated light phases for bikes help far more than lanes.

You're of course correct about all this. I believe the glibc thing has created mainly cultural problems. People don't look at Linux as a separate thing.

If I look up Linux system calls on Wikipedia I get diagrams showing glibc wrapping the Linux system call interface because that's what you're supposed to be using. If I look at Linux man pages what I really get is glibc man pages with the actual system calls being almost an afterthought. Glibc wrappers actually do a ton of stuff like add cancellation mechanisms. Glibc also drops support for system calls that break their threading model such as clone.

It's the same problem with systemd. I look up Linux init system man pages and get systemd stuff instead. I expected to see kernel APIs useful for writing my own.

How many tourists did you get this year? How many local tourists went to other countries and came back?
I switched away from Google Authenticator app to Microsoft Authenticator app for that reason (it is a generic 2FA, so you can use it as a 2FA for google logins and any other services just fine).

One important difference is that Microsoft Authenticator supports recovery from iCloud (in cause you are on iOS; there is probably something similar for Android too), which is something that Google Authenticator does not. So in case my phone explodes, the only thing i need to recover all my 2FA stuff is a recovery key for iCloud (which i can print out and put in a few places, like a bank storage cell and my parents’ house), because my Apple stuff is behind 2FA as well. So essentially, i just pick up my recovery code, buy a new iphone, authenticate using the recovery code, it restores all my data from iCloud backup, and my Microsoft Authenticator app has all my 2FAs for all services i use it for there.

It is a fairly recent feature for Microsoft Authenticator on iOS iirc, they added it less than a year ago. A few other 2FA apps, like Authy, support that type of 2FA recovery too (and Authy specifically had that feature for much longer).

Can't you buy other vaccines?

I live in slovenia, and we're giving vaccines away to other countries (literally), because people don't want to get vaccinated, and the vaccines are nearing the expiry date.

You can choose the vaccine, and can get vaccinated any day, even without signing up.
A lot of things were apparently poorly handled with Lymerix and it also apparently wasn't a great vaccine. Lyme was also not broadly seen as a big problem at the time.

The good news is that Pfizer has an mRNA Lyme vaccine in clinical trials.
Reading the legal arguments of the Gail ceramic company makes me never want to do business with that horrible company.

>> "Respondent’s domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith. The domain name <gail.com> is nearly identical to the trademarks owned by the Complainant and was registered to prevent the Complainant from reflecting the trademark GAIL in a corresponding domain name. Furthermore, because the Respondent registered the domain name exactly when the Complainant increased its sales of GAIL products to the United States, this should be identified as an abusive practice"

Ugh. Seriously? Who pays a lawyer to write horrible stuff like this. It is so pathetic and there was no evidence any of it is true. At least the respondent won the case.

Science is not about finding the truth. Science can help you find evidence for a hypothesis you formulated. Yet, you still formulated the hypothesis.

I believe thats exactly how we stop that, by choosing not to shop at Amazon. The government is ( theoretically ) an expression of the will of the people, if the will of the people is to exploit others for their own benefit, the government will reflect that. Until we individually decide that our neighbors are important enough to us that we are willing to suffer a little inconvenience nothing will change, but if we are willing to individually suffer a little inconvenience we absolutely can effect any company even one as big as Amazon.

1. For a couple of decades, US was the only country paying high salaries. Why would you go through the entire process of immigration if you still end up being middle class in a foreign country? Upper middle class or higher is more attractive

2. Immigration is a Network effect. You would prefer a country where you already have acquaintances, friends or family over starting your social life from scratch.

3. Soft power plays a huge role. In many societies being able to go to US has much higher prestige than say Germany, Netherlands or Japan. So many people don't see immigrating to these countries as an actual upgrade in social status back home even if the life might be better

You have large cities, where the border goes across the urban areas, and your nearest store is in another country.

The challenge is that guidance not regularly delivered with any caveats or margins of error.

Way ahead of you there Mayor McDouchebag. The plan is real simple: LEAVE TEXAS.

I’ve lived in the Lone Star State most of my life and while there are some things I like about Texas, Gov. Abbott and morons like this guy have turned it into a dumpster fire waiting to happen. The state economy is going to nose dive at some point, people are already dying, and there’s no way in hell I’m going to sit idly by while they use my tax dollars to lock up starving children and their families (they’re not illegal aliens, they’re refugees fleeing an absolutely hellish nightmare of epic proportions) and shut down voting in cities while sucking up to Donald Trump (lookin at you, Greg) and criminalizing legitimate political dissent so they can ram through a bill to keep a permanent iron grip on power that’s been in their greedy little hands for far too long as it is.

Either later this year or early next, I’m gone, and I’m taking my high paying job and specialized technical knowledge with me.

So yeah, I’ve got a plan: a big “fuck you” to the once-great State of Texas.

You are glossing over what the vaccine mandates actually are. No one has prevented you from existing by not being vaccinated: but across all those areas and others like it, they are requiring you to be vaccinated.

The recent NYC mandate for example is specifically about attending indoor venues on Manhattan island - restaurants and theatres and such.
> Never in history have we really worried about asymptomatic cases of anything.

This was an extremely silly thing to write. Typhoid Mary was tracked down, was locked up for three decades and became a legend over a century ago. Before modern drugs and widespread vaccination programs people worried a lot about asymptomatic transmission of disease.

You might argue that not having to worry as much about survival now that we've got modern vaccination has made people think about asymptomatic transmission of infectious disease less, but seriously, that's also nuts. It's not like everyone somehow failed to consider asymptomatic transmission of HIV since the mid eighties. Worrying about it changed our culture.

> Never in history have we tested so much for one thing.

TB skin tests and strep tests have been much more widely used.
Ah, yes. That is true! What I had meant is that certain discussions can come up, such as, "that group needs to pay their fair share." Regardless of whether the group should pay more or not, the discussion is oftentimes not about tax rates as much as it is about simply paying more. In those sorts of discussions, what is actually currently being paid is rarely mentioned.
Why not? The chinese built them in a few days.

This is not a "standard" hospital, this is basically comparable to a warzone... so containers, drywall, and considering that most people there don't need a specialist, they can reuse doctors, that have nothing to do during the lockdowns (eg. in my slovenia, government-employed orthopedic doctors had someone else check them in daily, to get paid and get covid extra-pay, while never showing up for work and working in private practy all that time).
Every tool in the quiver is about reducing Rt below 1. If it's above 1, cases double every few days. If it's far about 1, it's hardly any days, if it's just above 1, it's more days. But either way, the cases are still doubling at some rate, not just spreading but growing.

So every single tool in the quiver is about reducing Rt below 1. A lockdown will give you a few points. Vaccines will give you more. Masks give you more. Social distancing give you more. None of them get you all the way there. Some are more temporary than others, so have to be implemented at the right times.

So...

> they don't do very well at stopping spread, so why all the fuss to force people to get vaccinated?

The do help limit spread. Going from "they don't stop spread entirely" to "why force people to get vaccinated?" is like saying "body armor doesn't prevent being killed, so soldiers shouldn't wear them". Plus, there's the aspect of it being contagious - vaccines make it less contagious overall. Vaccines reduce Rt.

> we still haven't built a significant amount of hospitals?

The goal was never to permanently increase supply of hospitals, it was to reduce the demand for them, by putting measures into place to reduce Rt.

> anti-mask at the beginning

During that time, scientists thought that COVID was chiefly droplet-transmitted, so the emphasis was on distance, washing hands, hand sanitizer, etc. In an environment where people were already hoarding toilet paper, then if it had been true that droplets were the only source of transmission, masks were overkill, wouldn't do a lot to reduce Rt, and also had the risk of limiting supply to people who needed them. After it became clear that it was also aerosol-transmitted, the scientific recommendations changed, because then it was clear that masks would help reduce Rt.

As for Germany... Delta has a higher Rt than the Wuhan strain. Their lockdowns were effective.
