I completely agree that all the occupations you listed, are way more important, especially parents. I'm a little on the fence on teachers now, because I feel too many are teaching from an agenda playbook, rather than to make our little ones actually smarter. But, the point you made, is exactly the point. We as a society are trying to build something more, whether that is get to Mars, have autonomous cars, or even have social media that is able to completely control us. I agree, calling people resources, or talking strictly about butts in seats is what people that are attempting to be soulless do. But everyone that is "powerful" today needs developers way more than they care to admit. It is amazing to me how many people I know wish they could be developers, like have actually said those words to me. Mind you, these are people that want to be more successful, and thus need to "build" things at scale, and are thus reliant on developers. And having to pay someone 200K or 300K or 400K to do something they could do if they just had the time (or at least they think that) drives them mad.
Doing web development in c and getting that sweet performance boost is very tempting but the time it takes to develop even a simple website is just not worth it.

A huge challenge in Norway, was that all our retired ethnic Pakistani people panicked and booked flights from Pakistan to Norway. They didn't trust that Pakistani hospitals would handle the pandemic. Sweden probably has a lot more foreign residents with swedish citizenship than Norway?

Even though we have relatively few immigrants, at times, more than 50% of all the covid-infected belonged to these groups.

Have you had a closer look at that synchronize state stuff? I can't see much in the article.

> devices synchronize state using a LAN

If that has anything to do with music latency, then it's not "nothing substantial". It's their core business and their flagship feature. What they do well, that others could not, is playing multiple speakers perfectly in sync. Either stereo, or multiple rooms, almost as many speakers as you want, connected via wired network, or wireless, or by their on mesh system. And each speaker is basically a separate computer. It's not connected by analogue cable.

Anyone who were looking for Sonos alternatives with that functionality knows it's very hard to find and suddenly their prices become somewhat justified.

I don't care much about company names in general. But I agree with you about the TransferWise name change to Wise.

I opened a business account with them a year ago in order to transfer large payments in foreign currencies, because I remembered they had a positive reputation for that purpose.

I think if they had always been called Wise, I just wouldn't have remembered they existed with that specialisation, and would have used Revolut instead as I was familiar with them (but not happy).

TransferWise's specialisation in currency transfer and reputation for doing so better than other banks was the only reason I opened the account, though I've since used them for more things.

The initial entry through memorability and reputation was crucial.

Apropos: Helsinki has never experienced heatwave longer than 5 days (above 25°C). Last summer it was phucking 45 days.

However the bottom temperature of the near-by Baltic Sea is -4°C. I know this because I was hunting for halibut.

There is already a separate system which refrigerates government offices from the Baltic Sea.

I would suggest is to use the system to cool all homes by using the central heating system. All you need is lower is temperature to 15°C in those pipes.

Plenty of things are left out, indeed. to add to the list of missing, important numbers:

> so if you are vaccinated you can get infected

Yes, you _can_, but at what rate compared to unvaccinated people? It's not the same, real-world data shows that.

> What's the mix of vaccinated and unvaccinated people in the hospital

This number is meaningless without also knowing what percentage of the people are vaccinated. Compare:

"80% of the people in hospital have $foo, and 80% of the general population has $foo" - $foo has no bearing at all on hospitalisation.

"80% of the people in hospital have $spon, and 5% of the general population has $spon" - $spon is clearly linked to the majority of hospitalisations.

"45% of the people in hospital have $bar, and 5% of the general population has $bar" - $bar is linked to higher rates of hospitalisation, _despite_ not being the majority of hospitalisations.

Spoiler: for some age groups in the UK now, "being unvaccinated" is much like $bar.

Headlines about e.g. the Provincetown outbreak that say "most people hospitalised here are vaccinated" without further clarification, are somewhere from meaningless to misleading.

There is a logical flaw in his comment that "Facebook needs publishers". Although that is true in general, it does not follow that they need you as a publisher.

> The T1 had zero impact whatsoever on getting Linux running.

If you define running as "Linux boots", than this is correct, but as the the T1 chip provides access to the Touch Bar which is necessary to have function keys, I'd argue that there was indeed impact of the T1 chip for Linux essential compatibility. Also access to the webcam is provided by the T1 chip and required a quirk to work, as well as Touch Id, which isn't even supported at all yet.

What the parent comment was probably referring to is not the impact of the T1 chip per se, but of all changes Apple introduced with the MacBook Pros featuring the T1 chip, like a different way of interacting with the input devices, a different setup for audio and Bluetooth, a new chipset for Wifi and so on. The sheer number of changes caused these devices having a pretty bad compatibility with Linux when they came out and even today there are still a lot of unsolved issues around audio, Bluetooth, Wifi and other components [1]. And of course some features like the extended capabilities of the Touch Bar or the Touch Id sensor are still completely unsupported.

Btw: T1 MacBook Pros also required a quirk for NVMe, because Apples implementation back then also wasn't standard-compliant [2], [3].

Alain De Botton (A British Philosopher) has a fascinatingly obvious book on The News: A User's Manual (2014) that I was lucky enough to read before the fake news cycles in MSM hit and became really pernicious. The book is much more about the archetypes of stories. It seems that when people find something that works (for them) in a story then they double and triple down on that style until all permutations of novel familiarity are exhausted, if ever.

Which reminds me of another concept about mass media creation: Loewy's "MAYA" (Most Advanced Yet Acceptable) principle for successful artistic creation. It tends to get updated to Most Advanced Yet Familiar for our nostalgic times.

"But it was ''The Rise of the Meritocracy'' that made Mr. Young world famous. Written as a doctoral dissertation looking back from the year 2034, the book described the emergence of a new elite determined not by social position but by achievement on the standardized intelligence tests that were a very real, and dreaded, fact of educational life in 20th-century Britain. To name this new elite, Mr. Young forced the marriage of a Latin root to a Greek suffix, yielding ''meritocracy.''

He meant the term as a pejorative, for underneath the mock academic tract lay bitter social commentary. Though the test-based system of advancement emerging in postwar Britain appeared to provide opportunity for all, it was, Mr. Young argued, simply the centuries-old class system in sheep's clothing.

Lacking access to the best schools, underprivileged children routinely did badly on the 11-plus exam, the test given to children after sixth grade that largely determined their professional future. As a result, the disadvantaged remained at the bottom of the social ladder, their poor scores used to justify the status quo. ''The Rise of the Meritocracy'' became an international best seller and was credited with leading to the abolition of the 11-plus in Britain."

I can get HIV simply in my job, by accidentally jabbing myself with a needle that I used to vaccinate someone with HIV positive status. My pharmacy has a lot of heroin users (because we provide methadone service) therefore the risk is more than just theoretical. We have procedures to deal with that but getting HIV for my age is much worse than having covid. Even with medicines the side-effects will reduce life expectancy for about 10 years. Yes, I want HIV to disappear more than covid.

I definitely don't support criminalizing of knowingly infecting someone with HIV. The reason why is that it will prevent people at risk to get tested before having sex (because ignorance is defence in this case). We don't want that.

Somehow all your numbers are not impressive because I don't know anyone young who has died from covid. I know they exist but most deaths I could remotely link to covid are old people who were on the death bed already. It is much better to talk about QALY instead of deaths.

I believe that lockdowns in Australia are more than just a nuisance. QALY lost in them could easily overweight any gains. But those gains are dubious. No proof that it was previous lockdowns that did anything substantial. See Japan, they did nothing comparable to Australia and yet had no serious spread either.

About vaccines – delta variant makes herd immunity impossible. 70% is not a magic number anymore. Sorry, but Australian government dropped a ball with vaccines as well. I think they could afford to be so cheeky because they banned all protests. They are now like Communist party that doesn't need to listen to critique regardless how many mistakes they make.

Main issue with hospitals is not lack of buildings. The main issue is trained personnel. You can teach enough of them in 1.5 years even from scratch. Somehow when Tegnell said covid is long term most people laughed at him. I agree with him because I studied public health, and my course project was about provision of healthcare in Afghanistan. I am not an expert in this field but at least I think I can evaluate some of the claims due to my background.

But aren't patents supposed to protect implementations of ideas, not the ideas themselves? So then "keeping state between autonomous devices connected via LAN" seems like a worthwhile implementation, regardless of whether all the individual components were already existing in other technology domains.

Besides, I don't think that consensus-based asynchronous state protocols like Paxos were widely available in 2003 (and even so, implementing Paxos on a resource-constrained device like e.g. an Arduino might still qualify for a patent in 2021).

I think only looking at number of deaths from covid is a huge mistake. What about the quality of life of all of those who survived?

A lockdown is no small thing. It's forcing millions of people into forced isolation, which has hard to forsee consequences for mental health and social development, means destroying innumerable small businesses, and with it, people's livelihoods, closing schools, with devastating effects to education [1], etc.

Also worth noting that the initial projections for covid deaths in Sweden vastly over-estimated the pandemic's eventual lethality:
