You're right that communication is critical, but it's precisely because facts are omitted that causes the problem. Those facts just come out later, and that only makes things worse. Instead of transparency and straight forward communication, public health officials are engaging in manipulation of the public. So called noble lies, like telling people masks don't work in order to cover for the lack of mask availability. That burned their credibility and is just one example.

The lies and lies by omission are literal oxygen to anti-vaxxers because they can point out, with proof, that we were lied to. Naturally the next question is, what else are we being lied to about?

Stop lying, start treating people like adults, be upfront from the start, and you'll see anti-vax and anti-expert sentiment dissipate.

I would also point out that there is an intentional conflation between anti-vaxxers (those opposed to all vaccines) and vaccine hesitant (those who are pro-vaccine generally, but are weary about a new vaccine or were already infected and have natural immunity). The latter are being grouped with the former, and this has also destroyed a great amount of credibility and trust.
Did I have a long-lost twin separated at birth? It's good to know I'm not alone, at least. Some of my own specific choices are a bit different, but this could have been me writing it.

What's it going to take to get technology that actually respects BOTH privacy and freedom?
That's the biggest problem with the current monopoly capitalism. Centralization of power into single people making decisions with momentous impacts (be they 140+ IQ or total idiots as some other CEOs are). A good economy is made from small and medium enterprises in which some of them failing do not make much of a difference. That is also the basis of a good investment strategy, diversification.

If the single person in power does good then everything is good (more for the top people but good for everyone nonetheless). But if they do bad then thousands to hundreds of thousands of people suffer. (Reminds you of monarchy?) And the current way of looking at this is just to hope that the person in power will be happy to do good due to more shares. What would be, in my opinion, better would be to split FAANGS and encourage SMEs (small and medium enterprises)
Keep this comment in context of the anti Asian rhetoric also going around and the increase in racially motivated crimes against Asians.

To ignore this context is extremely distorting.
Fair point. I hold my ground on the discrimination point.
Another explanation, from the comments in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28326220
This assumes the audience for this title are people that have not yet been infected.

It could also apply, for example, to the hundreds of millions of people world wide who have already been infected.

I don't think a fact should assume an audience.
As I understand it, Israel does count previous infection similar to vaccinated status.

Not an argument, just a data point.
Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity
Go 1.17 is released
This is why self-driving vehicles will never be accepted in the west. OK, I'm including Japan in the west for this.

- Self driving software correctly stops.

- Human decision making overrides, and says go.

- Pedestrian gets hit.

- Self-driving vehicles are taken out of service.

Does anyone else see the irony of this situation?
The software was right, and the humans were wrong, so shelve the software, and have all humans drive buses for the rest of the paralympics.

In the west, it's the story that counts.

But in China, the math would be calculated differently. The self-driving buses would keep rolling, without human supervisors.
Don't assume that because a site has advertising, its content is of no value.

There isn't likely to be a treasure trove of interesting "non-commercial" content about pickaxes being hidden from you by Google - what you listed seems like a reasonable set of general results for a general search. Most people searching for pickaxes, or discussing them online, will either want to purchase one or be referring to Minecraft.

If you want less generic results, make more specific searches. Or keep looking beyond the fifth page of results.
Honestly, that should work. The first rule of piracy is "Don't do anything that costs more than you could get."

I've gone back and forth with this mindset myself, swinging between "privacy all the things!" and "I can't win what's the point". I think I've reached a happy medium where rather than larping as Edward Snowden I'm larping as a privacy-conscious sysadmin. And I've managed to not annoy my wife too much along the way, which is a nice plus. In fact, she gets more annoyed now when she accidentally connects to the non-pi-hole'd guest network and all the ads reappear on her tablet.
Have a play with AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions, then compare that with Azure Functions and you might wonder if what Azure has done is even remotely “serverless” FaaS or just a huge messy clusterfuck of an App Service which is billed per second and overly complicated to manage and observe.

Also i wonder (approximately) how long after infection it would still be possible to test.
> Do individuals have a right to their own body?

Insofar as their rights don't impact the rights of others.

Individuals have a right to drink alcohol. They do not have a right to then drive a car.

Vaccination by mandate is an extension of that reasoning. You have a right not to get vaccinated, but you don't have a right to participate in the public. Because restricting public interaction is neigh impossible (Even with imprisonment) the lesser of the two evils is mandated vaccination.

> Is there a limit to what a collective or technocrat can medically impose upon an individual, where and why do we draw this line?

Yes, communicable illnesses prevention. That's the line. It's something that seems to have been lost on the modern era. It was not controversial 50, 100, or 150+ years ago to quarantine people with disease by force of government (but often just voluntarily). This notion that there is no public interest in disease prevention and instead it's a "individual choice" is modern. Likely due to the advances in medicine, ironically vaccination, that have weakened the effects of most diseases.

I dislike this moral pearl clutching. Perhaps it's because I'm more morally a utilitarian.

At the end of the day, the harm caused by vaccination is next to 0 for almost all the population. The small percentage with adverse reactions is a small price to pay for society to work in general. The alternative is a lot more harm that we are currently seeing from the covid deaths.
I guess it would be comparing the improvement from a vaccine to the better natural immunity versus the risks from a vaccine. I don't know that this is obvious.

For example, a hundredth of a percent improvement is 1 in 10k. And an already exposed person would be expected to have a less severe reaction if exposed again.

Also some people worry about certain aspects of the vaccine. Did you know that it took over 25 years to develop a lipid delivery system for mrna vaccines that wasn't toxic in animal tests? Or that they have concerns about accumulation of these lipids in organs like the liver? Or that getting sick after the vaccine may not be healthy? Or that they don't do a great job of looking for auto-immune reactions when it comes to vaccines?

It's a lot to think about. I'm a numbers guy and am happy with my conclusions on this. But I don't think it's right to force anything on others. The media often seem to do a better job of coming to conclusions for people rather than educating them.
I put a fair bit of work into making the foss tech things in my house _just work_.

For instance, I run a tablet on my kitchen counter with the homeassistant interface. It displays photos when not in use.

My piHole setup (multiple of them for redundancy) can be paused from the homeassistant dashboard.

There's a different dashboard for access to Plex or other web UIs. Everything runs behind a reverse proxy with pretty URLs and authentication is from a single source usually.

The one bit of magic is the vpn for when you're out of the house. So it goes.

How exactly does TUBA solve the problem where ipv4-only host wants to communicate with a non-ipv4 host?
This proposal solves none of the issues we are facing of IPv6.
The RFC suggests some of the transitional technologies that are in issue with IPv6 today/the past: tunneling IPv6 over IPv4 (6in4, teredo, etc.), dualstack, NAT64 and other mapping, AAAA recrods in dns.
But it doesn't get around the fact that you cannot fit more than 32bit of information into a 32bit address.

An alternative way of phrasing your first point is to say supermarkets are turning into department stores.
Just thinking about the problem some more (from the perspective of the data owner), I wonder if instead of solving the problem at migration time the problem could be solved at the time of data creation.

What if data was routed to a) the Saas tool and b) to long term storage. So the act of migration becomes an act of moving raw historical data to the new tool instead of pull from service, transform and push to new service.

Oh, I think I just described a data lake..
Why 5 years? Why not 1? Why not 50? What's so special to people about 5 years? I keep hearing people say "it hasn't been tested long enough" followed by "I'd take it in about 5 to 10 years" which is a HUGE difference. Is it just that "time has passed", because a year has passed since the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was first given to test subjects. But I guess it's up to people - their body, their choice.

Even though we live in what is commonly referred to as a "society". We agree to live by certain rules and norms that allow us to coexist. There is a faction of fools out there who resist being a part of society, but claim all of its privileges. These are sub-human individuals who just seek some form of control over others. That has to stop.
"My guess is that the way things are going in these cases are not in Apple's flavour. "

1. I feel this went in Apple's favor.

2. I'm not sure if I got my facts right, but Appe is required to pay developers out of a 100 million fund? 100 million is what they spend on office parties?

3. Offer companies whom are under 1 million in sales, a 15% fee. Biggercompanies are still at 30%.

4. Companies can pay directly. (Yea--I care enough about Epic Games enough to pay them directly? Epic--treat your low level employees better, and I might care? )

Apple seems to have won?
Its free PR for them - probably exactly what they intended.
Apple's 2020 revenue was 274 bn $, and on track to substantially increase in 2021. Tim Cook's compensation is about < 0.3% of that revenue.

Then again, I'm not sure it makes more sense to compare stock-based compensation with revenue than with market cap.

Hi! Super idea! Nice idea. And it's for free?
This large study shows through science and data that the vaccinated, as opposed to the naturally immune, are

13x more likely to catch Delta
6x more likely to catch COVID generally
7x more likely to be symptomatic
More likely to be hospitalized for COVID

From the study:

>SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccines had a 13-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected.... The increased risk was significant (P<0.001) for symptomatic disease as well.

>SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees had a 6-fold increased risk for breakthrough infection and a 7-fold increased risk for symptomatic disease [compared to previously infected.] They were also at a greater risk for COVID-19-related-hospitalizations compared to those that were previously infected.

>This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity.
One thing I absolutely despise about "creators have to make money" is when some of those creators actually use YouTube to cram their shitty music down my throat via ads while I'm playing some other, completely different music that I actually chose.

It's grotesque that they think this is an ideal way to promote fan appreciation. I mean, the music styles don't even sync: You could be listening to Bach, with a playback history that clearly shows a preference for classical music, and some idiotic teen pop song by some attention-desperate, barely known singer starts playing via ad, which if you don't click to skip it (say you're in the kitchen with your hands dirty while listening to your interrupted Bach) will play FULLY for its entire 3 to 4 minute duration. Just bloody stupid...
Quite. Even back in the 70s most department stores seemed old fashioned.

The NY health department does use helicopters to drop larvicide on likely mosquito spawning grounds[1]. Your mom did believe a false story and also there absolutely was (and is) a plan to use helicopters to distribute an an anti-disease treatments over NYC.

I think the tricky part of the misinformation we are all dealing with is that many elements of it (method of distribution, the idea of spraying down a city) are things that are happening in some way - the false narrative is the particular combination people believe in. I think it's part of why flat denials are often ineffective.

Yes! What you're describing is important, and roughly matches what we want for all apps. Managing apps + databases across multiple regions should be as simple as `fly region add syd`. This takes like 5 steps right now, it should take one.

We're also improving the Phoenix deploy process. I don't like it when people have to see Dockerfiles. Modern app deployment needs frameworks and infrastructure to work together. Our Elixir deployment doc (https://fly.io/docs/getting-started/elixir/) will someday be replaced with, hopefully, "mix phx.deploy".

Their column store is really fast, but I am disappointed they did not mention what you lose: complex queries. You cannot do joins or combine data from separate events. For example if want to measure errors per active worker, as fraction of total load, all those fields have to be sent in same event to Honeycomb from the same service. This kind of question is answerable with promql, and other systems I have used.

It really like using Honeycomb vs Grafana + Prometheus for figuring out what is broken. I cannot wait until their dash boarding and alert/slo management mature enough that I don’t have to use separate products for it.

I think folks are trying to break apple's stranglehold / monopoly so that other app stores can be offered on iOS. This should help address these types of issues so more devs can get onto iOS more easily without having to meet Apple's level of requirements.
I’m a little out of loop, but isn’t it true that there can be no possible studies for long covid more than a year and half or so?

Of course there is long Covid, and of course there is the possibility of long Covid vaccine regardless of how ridiculous and unlikely that surely is. But from a scientific standpoint, it seems all we have could be initial studies at best.

>There are western countries that are wealthy despite little to no involvement in slave trade.

You're actually the first to mention the slave trade in the chain -- the discussion was just about wealth. Latin America is still also poor when compared to the "developed countries" at the top of the economic food chain, and their people weren't exported as slaves.

But the economic and political structures left by colonialism (both internal and international) meant that the people from these countries could never get out of that hole. Ultimately, people in Finland live much better than in Bolivia because there's a lot more money going around to build nice infrastructure, pay for teachers, quality goods, food, and so on, and where this money comes from can be traced all the way to colonialism.

Nokia couldn't have existed in Bolivia, even though the raw materials to make phones can be found there. It lacks absolutely everything else that is required to maintain a company like that: infrastructure, education, political stability. And the reason why this country lacks all of these things, is this "historical injustice". It's not only that the wealth was stolen, but also the capacity to create more wealth was stolen, not just the cobalt, but also the hypothetical industry that could have generated wealth for the people of the country.

I've been wondering the same. Heck, perhaps get a third shot just to be safe and then get covid for good measure. But then we don't have enough production capacity for the vaccines worldwide as it is, and I'm not sure about my current chances with 2x mRNA so... it'd be interesting but I don't think I'd actually do it given the chance.
> Because previously-infected people tend to experience worse vaccine side-effects for little to no additional benefit?

This is not the case. Research it yourself:

"Evidence is emerging that people get better protection by being fully vaccinated compared with having had COVID-19. One study showed that unvaccinated people who already had COVID-19 are more than 2 times as likely than fully vaccinated people to get COVID-19 again."

Even if people had free time, why would they want to spend it in a store if they can get the same result without having to travel to the store and spending time in the store?

Obviously, many people enjoy shopping, but even they will probably reduce the time they spend in a store and/or spread their purchases between in store and online, so the physical stores have to resize for the new demand.
