It's my understanding we only measure antibodies, which hang around after an infection for a while. We still have "the pattern" to create more once our immune system learns how to beat something.

What is the point of this comment? He is mandating a vaccine during a pandemic.
As a part-time libertarian, one of the frustrating parts of the pandemic has been discovering how many people need the nanny state to step to stop them punching themselves in the face.

Near the start of the pandemic, I thought the most intrusive state powers would barely be needed. Why would you ever need to make a vaccine mandatory? What rational person would refuse a lifesaving medicine offered to them for free?

Well, I've got my answer.
Reference: I used SwiftUI quite a bit at work but much more on my side project which is an iPad / Catalyst app [1].

Since my use case (layout of complex slides) differs from the _standard_ uses of SwiftUI (nested lists or collections of items and detail views), I can say less about the viability of building these nested lists. However I do have a lot of feedback about SwiftUI evolution in general.

- Error reporting and build times have much improved and are mostly ok nowadays
- Previews still don’t work well for a reasonably sized app, except if you go out of your way to keep the dependencies small and have the UI be its own framework (which is good advice in general but not always easily possible)
- SwiftUI’s layout system is less flexible than what UIKit can do. You can hoist UIKit views in SwiftUI but there’re issues where the UIKit View cannot know the available size that it should operate it (e.g. there’s no SwiftUI equivalent to ‘sizeThatFits:’) you’re still a bit limited here (for very complex responsive layouts).
- Instead of placing UIKit Views in SwiftUI what I’m doing is placing SwiftUI Views in UIKit. This works well and gives me more flexibility.
- SwiftUI has a lot of benefits that make it a joy to work with. Easy animations, dark / light mode, very fast layout, great selection of views/widgets.
- There’re still weird layout bugs from time to time. In comparison to UIKit there’s usually no way to engineer around them. This is much more pervasive on macOS though.
- For certain use cases, getting good performance is a bit tricky. However, a similar usecase with UIKit would also be tricky. Sometimes a really smooth UI takes a bit more dedication.

The major downside, as of today (for me) is that SwiftUI is not downwards compatible. The newest version (SwiftUI 3) will only work on the newest iOS releases but adds criticial features and fixes important bugs. If your product is supposed to also run on older iOS devices (say, down to iOS 13), stay away from SwiftUI as the old version has a lot of weird issues and bugs.

I was the lead engineer at a top university for a large multi-year DARPA project on Android privacy, working with literal experts in the field. I applied for some roles at Twitter for Android privacy engineering after the project was over, and they rejected me without even speaking to me.

Forget Twitter lol
Tangentially related: many VGA monitors can be given a new life by driving their panel using cheap ready made controllers. Search for "hdmi controller board" on Ebay, Aliexpress etc. Some are programmed in advance and the seller must be given the exact name of the panel they will work with before purchasing, while others are sold ready to be programmed. Some can also drive large TV screens.

Here are some links that might turn out useful.

Your welcome, corobo. Thanks for the reminder about the reminder. I believe it's as true as ever after all these years.
> Phone apps can be good desktop apps with minimal modification

I don't really agree here. Phones and desktops are very different, and have very different UI needs.

> Stop it, please. Smartphones are computers. They're used for the same things, even increasingly so. Stop pretending they're that fundamentally different.

Navigating with a mouse and keyboard is not the same thing at all ad navigating with your fingers on a touchscreen.
This is just a talking point coming from people who don't want to get the vaccination. Those people who don't want to get the vaccination largely exist because of misinformation, not because of any real risk (read: very very very very minimal risk) that comes with taking the Covid vaccine.

Everyone (who can) should take the covid vaccine, regardless of their antibody status.
Federal agencies are still subject to the ADA, which Biden cannot waive without Congress. While the ADA appears to allow for vaccine requirements in general, it still requires reasonable accommodations for those who cannot get a vaccine.
I agree that it's rare that a proof is accepted and falls apart later, but it does happen occasionally.

Somewhat famously, Voevodsky turned his attention to mathematical foundations, including proof assistants, at least in part because he was spooked that a part in one of his big papers was later shown to be incorrect. (Interestingly, someone much less known pointed this out in a preprint but it was, from my memory, largely ignored for some time -- who's going to believe a nobody versus a Fields Medalist?) There's a talk that Voevodsky gives at (I think) IAS, where he mentions this.

Edit: okay, here are the slides: https://www.math.ias.edu/~vladimir/Site3/Univalent_Foundatio...

The whole talk is interesting, but slides 8-13 talk about the topic at hand. In particular:

> This story got me scared. Starting from 1993 multiple groups of mathematicians studied the “Cohomological Theory” paper at seminars and used it in their work and none of them noticed the mistake.

> And it clearly was not an accident. A technical argument by a trusted author, which is hard to check and looks similar to arguments known to be correct, is hardly ever checked in detail.

...

> It soon became clear that the only real long-term solution to the problems that I encountered is to start using computers in the verification of mathematical reasoning.
Maybe this is due to the fact, that this is inherently undemocratic?

SCOTUS ruled that mandatory vaccines are constitutional back in 1905.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I think it’s a great idea to base fees based on your performance in classes after you’ve actually finished it. In the US there are plenty of scholarships but you need to have demonstrated prior achievement which shuts the doors for many people who don’t excel until they get to college (although, admittedly there are few people in this group).
What some call a feature, others will call a bug.

It doesn't make sense to assign blame on those who bug-fixed the backdoor in the license that clearly would allow a third party to change licensing terms. Even(!) if that third party was rms.
I occasionally receive application layer DDoS attacks generating around 20k requests per second (where typical legitimate traffic is 100 r/s). So nothing huge, but enough to cause problems for ordinary Django/Python applications like mine.

To fight them, I use OpenResty (which doesn't seem to get much attention on HN). OpenResty is basically Nginx with Lua scripting capabilities. Before any HTTP request hits my (slow) backend, it goes through a set of hand written Lua rules where I check very basic things about the client and HTTP request like how many requests/second (or minute) the client is generating, does it have any authentication cookies set, what is the client's ASN, how many times has it hit this particular route, etc. If there is a red flag, I quickly render a page (in OpenResty/Lua -- which can easily handle thousands of requests per second) with a captcha on it. The client then submits the captcha, and the server side Lua code sets a signed cookie authenticating their session (so it is not blocked for future requests).

One gotcha I remember was having to take special care to handle POST parameters from the initial request but otherwise, it was fairly simple.

My "web application firewall" has some fancy things like hot-reloading rules, fetching ASN numbers from the IP, and checking for legit bots (with reverse DNS lookups). I like to imagine it as an early form of Cloudflare.

I should note that my "captcha" is actually just a static image (with the alt/title attribute as the correct response). The people who attack my sites never bother to customize their attack. If it becomes an issue, I'll have to use a real captcha, but for now, it works.

I feel like these people just hit random websites to test their DDoS capabilities.

You buy the War Rig and then pull over at some random gas station in a middle of nowhere. Pop in,get a few beers and ask for directions and then walk out in slow motion:)
I've long since deleted the recruiter's response, and my own template, too.

In the end, it did boil down to "Look, I get 10 cold emails a week. I won't give you my phone number or call you myself until you tell me the industry and salary. If you're unwilling to do that, consider this the end to our conversation. Further emails will be deleted unread."

It's just not worth it to spend even 1 second of your day dealing with that sort.

Any widely flex-priceable commodity is good for money laundering and taking losses on money laundering seperate from transaction taxes neccessary to make the money clean. How can auditor spot something wrong when it is all bullshit in prices?
On the other hand if I remember correctly, it had a very primitive C programming environment, with memory handles, that had to be locked down before any kind of pointer could be used on them.
The difference in vaccination rates among Democrats and Republicans is much, much larger than any racial gap. Numerically, they are calling out the largest group, which seems reasonable. What strikes me as unnecessary is adding "white". Removing that word doesn't change the factual implications of the statement.
The smallpox vaccine worked (works) much better than the covid vaccine. I don't think this is an honest comparison.
There is no way the speakers work though? But imagine wiring them up.. Is it even feasible I wonder
Well, it seems you're right that soiled pizza boxes can be recycled: https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/yes-you-can-recycle-your-p... . But I think calling it a myth is not accurate. A significant fraction of recycling operations still refuse soiled pizza boxes (whether for good reasons or not), and it was widely held guidance until very recently that pizza boxes are not generally recyclable. So thanks for spreading the (relatively new) information!
> In terms of runtime, oh my god, get out of town.

I think you're mixing two different things here. Runtime is large for proof assistants, e.g. programs that can actually generate pieces of proof for you. Specifically the generation part. Verification of a complete proof were all the steps are provided like you would do in a paper should not, AFAIU, take a long time.
They've got only 21 days of funding until the debt ceiling is breached. So you may still lose your pay regardless.
I agree, actually. I think a book published by a major academic press is a plus for any tenure/promotion committee. Further, this is definitely not just "expository" work; as the article notes, they had a bunch of gaps/errors to fix. I expect the importance of those contributions would be reflected in strong recommendation letters for promotion.
Isn't that Steven Wolfram's research program?

> Anyway, why do you want to defend dishonest money that funds generational theft and international unjust war? Like, the banking crises of the gold era are MUCH better than the massive evils perpetrated by the modern US federal government. Why are you defending that? What solution do you propose if not hard money?

Uh because it doesn't. That's tinfoil hat conspiracy talk.

> What solution do you propose if not hard money?

There really isn't anything wrong with fiat lol. You obtain it, you spend it on necessities, you invest the excess. Inflation is an incentive to productively allocate capital. The variable supply allows an expansion and contraction of the supply to retain stability.

It's backed fully by demand.

The system works just fine lol.
This argument is so tired. It applies to almost every single service provided by any government anywhere.

New traffic regulations? Everyone needs transportation to get somewhere. Controlling transport controls everything. This is a road to tyranny, etc, etc..

New worker's regulations? Everyone needs a job in our economy! Controlling wages controls people's lives! This is authoritarianism, etc...

New taxes? Everything you need to survive could be taxed! When does it end?? etc, etc..

The most minor policy change anywhere runs into this utterly inane argument. Updated food standards? Building codes? Public hearing to add a stop sign? When will this government overreach end???

It's tired, it's pointless, it's been said millions of times by the same libertarian/anarchists for a century. It adds nothing new to the conversation.
Yeah, obnoxious or not, the Turing award is a bit too important for this kind of middle school drama.

Some more relevant data here: https://archive.is/RrzbZ

>Polling data from the Kaiser Family Foundation released [0] Wednesday morning (week of August 4th) makes obvious the disparity in the importance of each group. It estimates that Black Americans make up about 13 percent of the unvaccinated population and 13 percent of the group that says it will never receive a dose of the vaccine. Republicans, by contrast, make up more than half of each group, including nearly 6 in 10 of those who say they won’t get a vaccine.

> Web apps (or electron apps) are always worse than a well-written native counterpart in every verifiable UX metric.

That is true.

> Let's not kid ourselves: web apps and electron apps are developer-experience focused, not user centered.

That isn't true. I spend most of my days on Linux. Before web and electron apps, the alternatives were not well-written native apps. The alternatives were "Use another program". As a user, I'm really glad many things are web-centric these days.
The alt-right did not co-opt the term. It was somewhat co-opted in some "manosphere" men's rights movements, not the alt-right.
> What rational person would refuse a lifesaving medicine offered to them for free?

Somebody who has already had covid. They've already taken on risk - why expose themselves to more?

Your argument of people acting rational breaks down in a lot of cases. Plenty of people have self destructive behaviors (many with externalities that affect others) that we are ok with.
I did the same, but it meant that the build could not go in parallel.

I also stored the warnings.txt in git so that before any commit I could simply do a git diff to see what warnings were changed by my additions.
That’s a serious charge.
I mean he answered these questions. The line is drawn here.
I agree. If you don’t like something are you currently coming speak to them before even going on interviews. Accepting the counter offer is the worst thing that one can do.
I was a bit disappointed when the focus is not related to cryptography.

I.e. a poorly written comparison function compares multiple expressions and the use of && short-circuit the logic, result in a timing attack.

Would love to read an article about this topic, i.e. how to write a function whose execution time is constant regardless of the inputs, and thus not leak any side-channel information to the attacker.

Worse yet, sometimes the circuit won't work with a low-ESR capacitor. For example, you can't put a low-ESR capacitor on the output of an LM1117, it will oscillate.
At least I was right about them clothes. They are just abysmal. Woolen caps and no wind protection.

There has been only -32°C in Helsinki and remember how scary it was. Exposed fingers become numb in seconds. I had good parka with wolf tail trimmings, but could not bicycle against the wind.
No. There are substantial studies on the reinfection rates of P.1 (aka Gamma)

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33909850/

https://www.thelancet.com/article/S0140-6736(21)00183-5/full...

B.1.617.2 (aka Delta) also has shown properties showing that it evades natural immunity after 180-days, similar to P.1 / Gamma.

The "antibody measurement" studies are trying to narrow down the exact time that our immunity wanes. But it is a well-proven fact that natural immunity lasts less than a year, given what we've seen in Araraquara, Brazil and Manaus, Brazil.

It seems to be ~180 days, subject to more tests. So that's the number I'm going to assume until I see a better study.
This is just describing bad PM behavior
”… stole a bunch of money without violating the terms of a smart contract”

— so, didn’t steal the money? Or are you admitting a smart contract isn’t any kind of contract at all?

Glad “the community” stepped up to prevent smart contracts from being credible. Though I’m not sure why this community is a preferable regulator to the ones we have for actual money. Since cryptoinvestments are also bound by real-world law, you now have two regulators: the real one and the “community” that transfers cryptomoney to itself when it wants.
Well, I'm not exactly sure what the line is. In the US, as with all things related to government power, it's decided jointly through the work of the three branches of government and the factors that influence them - democratic appeal, the constitution, jurisprudence, and so on.

At any rate, "vaccination for a highly infectious, potentially deadly virus" indisputably counts as "health". Everything might be health-based if you want it to be (maybe), but the nature of the American system hopefully and usually minimizes room for abuse of that power - and certainly there's no appearance of abuse of that power here, now.
What I find interesting about this clip is that the 1991 movie 'Hook' is literally the opposite. There, Peter does make the sacrifice of maturity but the screenplay demands he re-discover the innocence/freedom of his life as Peter Pan in order to ostensibly enjoy his life. At the end of the movie he tosses his phone out the window after telling his boss whatever he's calling about isn't important as a decision to value the innocent immediacy of his family life. What the screenplay doesn't tell us is whether he had a job the next day and the consequences of that!

I think Peterson is speaking to another tier of freedom that comes with responsibility and concern for one's future and security: it tends to (non-exploitatively) benefit others around you, your community, etc.
Because it’s hard to distinguish between someone who’s trying to help you be more secure and someone who’s trying to extort hush money out of you for an error in your code.

It’s not hard to read it as “we don’t negotiate with terrorists”, and Apple (or Google or Amazon…) know people think they have deep pockets

Bad.

I prefer to have a choice.

The, "Trust the authority. It's for your own good." argument does not sway me.
Vaccination is not a political position. Vaccines only work if a large majority of people are vaccinated and people who refuse to receive the shot are putting everyone else in danger. A basic function of a government is to protect public safety, and that is what a vaccine mandate does.
Yes, but if I remember correctly, was the programmer’s responsibility to save the state on every user input to prevent data loss on prc exit.

The bullshit title of this article is a good example of the same phenomena in media.
"Directly" is a strong word. It's an interpretation which assumes there is such a thing as a right to an abortion such that the states would then be violating by passing legislation.

Now, I am not of the opinion that something has to be explicitly protected in the constitution for it to be a right. I prefer to assume a limited view of what behavior government has the authority to limit. However, if something is not explicitly protected in the constitution, then it is at least up for debate.

There's procedural implications for this distinction as well: the Supreme Court can overturn its prior precedent (as Brown v. Board of Education overturned Plessy v. Ferguson). But the Supreme Court cannot overturn the text of the Constitution itself. Only an amendment by Congress can do that.

EDIT: Just to clarify, that procedural distinction means that the Supreme Court could uphold the Texas law while overturning a similar law restricting gun ownership without contradiction.
That line would be drawn through elections, legislation, and court decisions. Decisions like the one OP was referring to [0] where the Supreme Court found that compulsory vaccination is within the state's power, and further that "[r]eal liberty for all could not exist under the operation of a principle which recognizes the right of each individual person to use his own [liberty], whether in respect of his person or his property, regardless of the injury that may be done to others."

IMHO the effective thing to do is to focus all our efforts on vaccinating 100% of those that will end up in the ICU (the elderly and those with co-morbidities).

These kinds of vaccine mandates get some of those at the greatest risk vaccinated but also ends up being a giant distraction in the US and makes it harder for the rest of the world to get the vaccines that they need as well. I think the blanket mandate approach is used because it is a lot easier for the leaders at the top to make these proclamations then to organize an outreach approach that actually reaches those most vulnerable.
How can I, and Amazon shareholder, go collude with other Amazon shareholders? Tell me how this is possible. I've never heard of it.

You can only collude with someone you were in competition with. Shareholders of the same company by definition cannot collude with each other because they are not competing. Collusion would be Walmart and Target and Costco and Amazon unionizing together to negotiate wages.
Blacks need to get over the irrational fear of "Tuskegee". They need to be forced to take these vaccines.

I can - I'd dump the voodoo.

And there are a vanishingly small number of medical reasons to skip it. Most of the people claiming this are making it up.
If they had this auction in the US prices would be significantly higher. Rolling around in a couple of this Rigs would be pretty bad ass.
"refuse vaccines which don't work against transmission?"

Pretty sure that's false.

Regardless, if you have antivaxxers taking up a hospital beds and others with legitimate issues missing out on care, I'm sure you can see how this is a public health issue.

There's no way you asked that question in good faith. Not a chance.
Unfortunately, this means that there is no equal treatment under the law, which means that the rule of law is only partial.
