Should we then force people to eat less with a « eat pass »?

Obesity is even more wasteful of hospital resources.
We treat children and adults with pneumonia (among other things) in the ER, and they can infect others. Some illnesses simply make folks sick enough for the ER.

I'd not mind a way to put folks further down the list if they choose to be unvaccinated or have folks have a special waiting room - but the ER is no time to figure out if someone chose to be unvaccinated or not. It would take up even more time and resources from an already strained system.

As always, the private sector knows more about the industry than the government. And American history shows that governments are always playing catch-up.
Not only that, but there seems to be a campaign against the press actually informing people about the limited effectiveness of the vaccine at preventing infection and spread. The stat that actually matters is the relative reduction in risk of vaccinated people catching Covid-19 compared to unvaccinated - it's what dictates things like whether it's possible to get herd immunity via vaccination, and whether events that would turn into superspreading incidents without vaccination still will now. But there's this narrative being pushed that it's wrong and misleading based on nonsense stats like the total percentage of cases which were unvaccinated over a time period that includes a major wave which ended before widespread vaccinations were available, or the absolute risk of someone who's vaccinated catching it (which is worthless as it depends mostly on the prevalence of the virus, and Covid spreads exponentially).

This all seems to be done in order to blame unvaccinated people - and more specifically unvaccinated Republican voters - for the fact that Covid is still spreading and causing deaths and economic damage. (Vaccination rates are also dangerously low amongst black Democrat voters, but of course it'd be politically unacceptable to blame them in the same way). The press keeps pushing the narrative that we could end Covid and all the damage it's doing if not for those evil unvaxxed people, even though this doesn't seem to be borne out by the experience of countries with higher vaccination rates or the scientific evidence.
This is not something you usually notice until years into using it. Even the heart inflammation thing did not show in studies and only months after vaxing, and instead of more severe immune responses on infection this is something that happens immediately and not years later.

This is all just loud thinking at this point. But it's something you regularly find new studies too because it seems to be a concern.

Coreboot was a great project for it’s time. But if you want free hardware you need to build it yourself. As in from the RTL up to the keyboard.
Ironically, yes.

Okay, so it was for a DevOps Engineer role and not an SDE role, but we did have one guy who refused. He didn’t feel that he was a good enough programmer to do that on a whiteboard in front of a panel of interviewers, and so he refused. He even refused to talk about the core functions you’d need to make fizzbuzz work. He felt that he could work it out over time outside of the pressure of a hiring situation, but he didn’t feel he could do it on the spot.

To be honest, I felt that his recognition of that lack of skill and talent and his refusal to be pushed down that road, that was one of his strongest features for me. He was willing to stand up in front of the whole group and say “I Don’t Know”. I pushed hard for him to be hired, and the guy who had asked the fizzbuzz question didn’t feel as strongly that we shouldn’t hire this person.

To this day, I think he was the best hire the company ever made. I don’t know if he ever learned how to do a fizzbuzz program, but he was definitely one of the best DevOps Engineers we had.

Covid was the third leading cause of death in the US in 2020. Just because it’s not a uniform risk profile across the population does not make it an unserious disease.
We definitely don't agree. The 2016 outcome was not the "opposite" of what polls predicted, it was simply the less likely outcome. Again, polling put Trump at low but plausible odds. If I tell you that you have a 30% chance of success and you succeed, that is not an "opposite" outcome.

And your Big Tech self-censorship narrative has no discernable substance. Unusual levels of self-censorship would be reflected in unusual levels of polling error, but the actual polling error wasn't unusually high in 2016 [1].

Election polls aren't even conducted by Big Tech AFAIK and they don't have access to personally identifiable poll responses. Pretty hand-wavy and baseless to suggest that people were somehow afraid of Big Tech punishment based on anonymous third party polling. The Big Tech censorship issue centers almost entirely on user content submitted voluntarily on Big Tech platforms.

While he certainly did invade and conquer, France was at war with the major powers of Europe before he came to power.

It's kinda cliché, IMHO. France (and many European nations) has been build around the belief that centralized power help to ensure political stability. As soon they are no more/less centralized power, every region starts to organize itself and territorial conflicts of interest emerges.

It's not about the power to be visible, more than being effective.

It depends on what you mean by "swallows values". If I have an IO<T>, I can very easily get at the T that's inside by flatMapping over it. It's true that there's no way to turn an IO<T> straight into a T -- whatever you do with the T must always get wrapped back in IO<-> at the end of the day -- but it's not gone, and indeed we do use monads to store state. (There's literally a monad called `State`, actually.)

What monads don't let you get at -- at least, not without more knowledge about which monad you're using -- is whatever other information given alongside the Ts it contains. If I've got a random M<T>, and I don't know that M is Option, I can only operate over all the Ts (the either zero or one of them) it contains, but I can't tell whether it has any Ts in the first place.
I've been using NetGuard (https://netguard.me/) for this purpose for a few years now - works great for blocking apps off from the internet entirely but is/was a huge battery drain filtering all connections (blocklisting). Will definitely give this a go!

That's just anecdotal. (My grand-parents, parents, friends took Pfizer/Moderna and there was nothing beyond the regular symptoms; and my grand-parents are in a bad shape).

There are stats about the side-effects of the vaccine, I think we better stick to those.
You seem to be anonymous here on HN, why don't you use your full name instead if you have nothing to hide and you're not intentionally deceptive?

No, privacy doesn't work like that. Even people who are not trying to deceive others are deserving of privacy as well.

Most of my accounts (except one) on the internet are anonymous, as I don't want people to tie anything I do for fun on the internet to my real-life persona. It doesn't mean that I want to deceive people, only that I want my meatspace life to be something else than my online life.
There's nothing inherently inconsistent between right-libertarian values and a vaccine mandate.

Libertarians believe that force should be applied to person A to protect person B from person A in certain circumstances.

If person A wants to punch person B in the face, restricting person A by force is perfectly consistent with libertarian values.

If person A threatens to infect person B with a deadly disease due to refusing a vaccine, then a vaccine mandate has some justification under the same ideals. The devil will be in the details (e.g., how deadly is the disease, etc).

It's also why a carbon tax and many other measures are not inherently inconsistent with libertarian values on a first principles examination.

But for some reason, libertarians in practice tend to dislike these policy proposals, even though they can follow in principle from the founding axioms. I attribute that to group-think and a general disbelief in the existence of negative externalities, not to a problem inherent in libertarianism.

Well sorry but I prefer backend because no one has an opinion about how something looks or presumes to know about that area.
To managers backend is voodoo stuff and frontend is where they have an opinion, because they are directly exposed to the result of the frontend, the presentation.

However working purely frontend or purely backend gets equally boring.

I got you - I was just replying to kylehotchkiss. Either way, if the data is properly client-side encrypted, it shouldn't really matter much where the data is stored, since they would need access to your device to decrypt the data. So I don't see how this is an issue.

My expectation here would typically be that the company itself is governed by a stable, democratic government. It matters, because different legislations can impose different requirements (see recent changes in Australia for example).

Yes, banking secrecy has nothing to do with this and doesn't really apply, since that is more about someone not spilling your information, while here you already ensure on your device that the data is not visible to anyone.

I think you are right - it's a marketing element, but most companies do that, don't they? See for example Apple with "Designed in California", which is really just trying to not only say "Made in China". People have known associations with certain countries (such as Switzerland), which are used for marketing, yes.

Decoding JPEG images is not very CPU-intensive at all. Back in 1995, an ARM chip was fast enough to render JPEGs on the fly - i.e. apps didn't need to buffer the decoded versions, it was fast enough to draw them straight from the decoder when redrawing windows. (This was on RISC OS 3.6, IIRC)

It's a great app but unfortunately some anti-malware solutions trigger on it because it contains some indicators of other malware (as it tries to block them). They are in plain text so other antimalware scans pick it up and block it. I wish I could use it but my work requires the antimalware.

I predict:

1) China won't attack Taiwan until it can be assured a swift victory.

2) China will reach that state within our lifetimes.

WWII was won, in part, by US manufacturing prowess. China has that advantage. It's military is currently behind in equipment, but if it chose to, it could build a blue water navy or whatever else it wants in record time. It also has the political ability to engage in major projects like these (see respective COVID19 responses).

I suspect Chinese military leadership is far more competent than US or EU. The cream of the crop in the West doesn't go into the military (see Afghanistan for an good example of how US armed forces are managed).

I also think we will see major disruptions in military from autonomous and semi-autonomous machines which will really reduce the US lead. DJI is headquartered in China, as are many of the other players here. If heave machines like carriers are obsoleted, the US advantage might turn into an expensive liability.

The Chinese military also has more manpower.

>Managing without power can be difficult

It is impossible. Whether the Power (in the most general sense of the term) is overt or covert is a function of circumstances and the nature of the people being managed.

The way i look at it is as consisting of three distinct axes;

* People - Their Nature, Wants, Psychology and Behaviour. This is what everybody should focus on majorly since this is the most variable, malleable, amorphous and difficult to learn and master. An analogy i use (and which often raises people's ire) is how we train other species to get them to do what we want; eg. Lions/Tigers in a Circus vs. Sheep herding Dogs vs. Teaching a parrot to Talk etc. You get the idea. There are some fundamental principles but they all have to be tailored for each species and the individual within a species. We are the same except that our social/communication structures are vastly more complex.

* Resources - Materials and Time. You are given a finite amount of these with which you have to do the best you can.
The big problem here is Time due to our equating it with Money and the self-imposed breakneck speed towards everything.

* Domain Knowledge - This is a must and especially relevant to Software Development domain because of the breadth and complexity of the subjects involved. The author of the article seems to conflate this with the whole of "Management".

All the above three will have to be "Managed" for a successful outcome but the emphasis on each will vary according to Circumstances and Issues involved.
> In nuclear war, practically all detonations would be airbursts. They don't cause similar fallout.

No, definitely not. It really depends strongly on who your opponent is and what their strategy might be. And on whether they stick to their pre-anounced strategy. And how many exchanges (first, second, third strike) you might get to.

Generally, there are two strategies that are usually distinguished in US literature for leading a strategic (i.e. big, as opposed to small, tactical) nuclear war: counter-force and counter-value.

Counter-value means that your nukes target what values the enemy has by destroying enemy cities and the population and goods/industry/infrastructure in those cities. Destroying a large, non-reinforced, "soft" target like a city with humans in it is more efficiently done by airburst, because the overpressure/temperature effect is weaker but spread over a far larger area. Weapons also don't need to be that accurate, if you miss downtown Manhattan by a kilometer, it won't matter much. Most smaller nuclear powers, those with a no-first-use doctrine and those without accurate fast delivery systems (i.e. modern ICBMs or SLBMs) do rely on a counter-value strategy. The goal there is usually something akin to France: They aim to be able to kill more of the enemy population than there are French to kill.

Counter-force means that your nukes target the enemy military infrastructure, most prominently ICBM silos and command infrastructure. Usually this strategy calls for a preventative first strike with very accurate weapons that can destroy heavily reinforced underground structures surrounded by possible anti-missile systems. Meaning you have to hit the target with multiple ground bursts, quickly and as accurately as possible. Since you have only one try at this, some of your warheads might be shot down and some might miss by a few hundred meters, causing the crater to not destroy that ICBM bunker enough, there will be quite a few warheads on the way to each single silo. Meaning that this supposedly "humane" strategy will produce enough fallout to still kill a lot of the enemies population. One example would be https://www.nukestrat.com/china/Book-173-196.pdf p184, where a US counter-force strike against a Chinese missile silo site out in the sticks would kill between 5 and 20 million Chinese just from fallout. And of course, if your counter-force strategy includes command bunkers near capital cities (ground burst), nuclear submarine bases near other harbors (ground/sea burst) or larger military airports (air burst), you are bombing much closer population centers, also with mostly ground bursts. Most prominent in claiming a counter-force strategy is the US.

So most probably, if your opponent is the US, GB or Russia, you'll receive a large number of ground bursts in the first strike. Only if there still were an exchange after that, would there be any significant number of air bursts.
It is more CPU intensive than a baseline JPEG.
My few word explanation: Monad is a wrapper for effectful impure functions. It swallow the effect (not value) and assure a defined value type to be available for further computing.
