I didn't realize that, but you're probably right.

The point I was trying to make is that neither I, nor my roommate (the only other patient I've had a conversation with) realized exactly how bad of shape the hospitals were in until we showed up at the ER and experienced it in person. The relentless media coverage is easy to tune out after a while, but actually experiencing the effects of a COVID surge personally brings it home. I'm not sure how else to suggest someone experience a hospital as a non-patient..
Smoking kills 500,000 people per year in the US - which is only slightly less then COVID at current rates - I don't see anyone rushing to shut that down.

Heart disease kills 650,000 per year, but there is still a McDonalds and Taco Bell on every corner.
My GF does a similar thing, but it's spotting woman drivers from behind.

My belief is that it's usually the girl and women's boyfriends and husbands who are to blame, because they don't let them drive very often or even ridicule them from the passenger seat when they do, but the end result is quite pronounced where I live (Czech Republic).
Indeed. I only responded because I take issue with people who say things like

> "Seriously, site makers and theme designers, please stop using $PREFERENCE everywhere as part of your aesthetic, as $PREFERENCE are really bad for extended prose."

...as if it's a universal truth when in fact people have different reading capabilities. For example I'm dyslexic and I find it much easier to read monospace text than most dynamic width type faces because letters jumble up less for me. I'm not suggesting I'm the norm but it's certainly not as clear cut as many (like the GP) make out.
I'd say there's more to it.

. Underestimation of the cost of an early 20th C. war. Some glorious charges, you win, get home in time for dinner.

. A game theory problem in that once you start mobilizing you can't stop. Not starting the war is more dangerous than simply drawing down.

. The simple fun (for leadership) and profits in a war. Pushing pieces around a map is an enjoyable endeavor.

. Interlocking treaties with single points of failure.

etc.
Never send to know for whom the bell tolls.

As another comment said, if the unvaccinated were willing to stick to their "ideals" and die at home instead of an ICU bed, I would be a lot more amenable to arguments against mandates.

But as-is, normal people who took precautions to get vaccinated are being hurt by anti-vaxxers when they get an unrelated illness or injury (car wreck, infection, etc) and then suffer worse outcomes (including death) just because the ICU beds are full of people who could have literally just decided not to be in them (given how effective the vaccine is at preventing hospitalization).

Our society is far too interconnected for almost anything to not at least indirectly affect someone else, even if the first-order effects are well-limited to "just you".

Never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.
I always find the whole thing ridiculous. They literally just needed to copy-paste the original book.
In their effort to discourage people from buying the international edition, they scrambled the exercises and their numbers. And introduced errors that way.
If it's a 12MW turbine it's 10 minutes for 2000kWh. So actually probably not worth bothering with the lightning capture. I'd always thought lighting strikes were more energetic than that.
In can't agree more.

In Java, there's the JAXB ”parser“ which translates an XML schema into (mostly) straightforward classes. Correct initial setup is the only hard part.
People are dying from simple stuff while waiting for ICU beds, but the anti-vaxx crowd doesn't really care.

You're right, teams should collaborate, but I've never been in a place-where only one team was in the space. It's a handful of teams from a bunch of practices all taking the same space.

I've never been in a company where the couple dozen people all on the floor are on the same project. I'd imagine even if they were there would be subdivisions there - do 30 people all effectively work on the same stuff?
Vaccination provides clear social benefit by reducing infections, which limits spread of the virus and potential sources of mutation. It also limits the number of hospital resources that must be allocated to covid patients, freeing up those resources to aid others who are in need of medical care.

In the same way, driving while drunk is tremendously dangerous to yourself but is also a danger to others.
Its always interesting how willingly people are to accept powerful entities with the capacity to exert meaningful control over society to exist, so as long as their actions align with some subset of their beliefs/sensibilities.

I’ve actually never seen a “smart” monitor.
Indeed censoring a democratically elected president of a nation had chilling effects in Europe. We remember our not-so-long-ago past with censorship.

Social networks are not judges. Governments are not always right. For decades, most of the online world has lived with freedom to express themselves.

I'm siding with Brazil on this one. Online freedom matters.
what exactly is a "smart" monitor? I'm familiar with smart TVs, but I can't see how any of those features could be useful in a screen that I plug directly into a computer.
What do you mean by this action, specifically? Everything that has been done since March 2020?

I don't see the necessary nuance for this debate to be meaningful. As a case in point: the OSHA regulations are for vaccination _or_ weekly testing.

There's probably a reasonable debate to be had about requiring people to disclose vaccination status (but, again, significant precedent)--but I do think the hysterical reactions sound a bit funny when viewed as a reaction to being forced to spit into a cup once a week.
I had not thought of it in this way. Crypto culture exists almost entirely online, so it is reasonable to think that NFT mania is a situation that couldn't have occurred in meatspace . Doubly so because no real money is changing hands.
Did you go to an emergency room in 2019, by chance? Waiting many hours to be admitted has been the norm in American healthcare for a very long time.
any source, example, article about this?
> In Europe they are still treated as test vaccines, so you have to sign a paper and take the full responsibility for any side effects.

This is not true. They got emergency authorization, but had to go through the same test phases as with normal authorization and will eventually get full authorization. This is not really different than in the USA and does not make it a 'test vaccine'.

Also I was vaccinated in the EU and I did not have to sign any papers or 'take full responsibility for any side effects' in any way, nor did anyone else I know that was vaccinated in the EU. This may be the case in your country (I'd be interested to know which country that is), but it is certainly not a EU wide requirement.
I'm summarizing him and everyone else with attitudes like his: the vaccine isn't 100% so it is nothing. Maybe I'm a bit extreme, but at this point I am tired seeing the same ensconce.
Message for future language critics: if you mention space versus brackets, no one is going to take you seriously.

I competely get why people hate self, or this in js for that matter, when they came from those main stream languages with implicit access. However, once you get used to it, you will actually prefer the explicity that make you more mindful and hopefully write better code that try to minimize states and context at all cost.

If people could take a shot or two that massively reduces the risk of sugar induced cancer, diabetes and heart disease they'd be fools not to take it.

It depends on the amount of life insurance you get. Mine is of an amount that blood work was required and it definitely affects the rate. One of the things I learned is I have a "fatty liver" - which is indicative of poor metabolic health. I started taking care of that, brought the levels down to normal, and my rate was lowered.
Insurance is a racket everywhere apparently.
Doesn’t have to be nice. I just don’t want to be distracted with noise or people walking by and waving at someone else.

Having some visual privacy and ability to talk on the phone guilt free is nice too.
No that's an oversimplification. I can ride a bike because I want to ride a bike. But terrorism by definition describes a type of tactic used to reach a stated goal. It is not simply killing people. That's called murder. And murder can be an end to itself. There have certainly been murderers who had a compulsion to just kill.

Terrorism is killing a lot of innocent civilians in order to incite terror in a population to bend to your demands. They have an agenda and feel they are justified.
I never understand this whole "99% survival rate" being presented as if that's low. I don't know about you, but if I'm around something that has a 1 in 100 chance of killing me, I'm going to do everything I can to not let it, because those are NOT low odds.

It also conveniently ignores the known and unknown long-haul effects from Covid, which impacts a significant percentage (20%?). I, for one, like staying in relatively good health.
"OK"

Said South Africa...
Advised acquaintence in a PR company and reporters at beginning of this that they should "find" stories that the wealthy and celebrities were flying to countries where they could jump the queue for vaccination if they wanted to get more uptake. Response was government had other plans.

Given my previous work in digital identity, I was getting inquiries from vaccine passport companies in the summer of last year. This was always about the passport.
> This disease just isn't that deadly

Vs. 4.6M dead worldwide, discounting 2nd order excess deaths.

How can you be so blithe?
There are absolutely enormous anti-smoking adversing and education campaigns. Cigarettes are mandated by law to have very specific packaging that loudly lists the risk of death. Large taxes are placed on them. In a great many places you are not allowed to smoke in public. Smokers have higher health insurance premiums and cannot access certain kinds of medical care like various organ transplants. Selling a cigarette to a child is a crime. Exposing children to second hand smoke can be abuse.

And yes, there are a large number of people who sue Cigarette manufacturers for their role in the deaths of these people with the attempt of completely destroying the industry.
I don't know anything about the laws here - but isn't this medical data? Doesn't HIPAA make this sort of stuff illegal?
I believe this is the third nuclear weapon related post I've seen on HN this week. I'm not sure what that means..
I'm just near the end of a kitchen remodel, with all new appliances. They are all "Wifi Enabled" and push like crazy to make sure you know it. I briefly looked at it and there doesn't appear to be any way to use the Wifi features without signing up at some remote website and allowing all your interactions with your appliances to flow through their servers. Yeah, no thanks. The FAQ on one site actually says not to worry about privacy, since they use the latest greatest encryption when they send your data to their partners!

I'm all set, I don't really need to control or monitor my kitchen appliances through wifi. But it did make me suspect that in another few years the newest appliances will simply not function at all if you don't log in, and pay the monthly subscription fee.
What are the stories presented in the park that are not historical facts?

(pro QBist physicist here). Just some clarifications on the interesting points you raise.

1. In practice, experimental physicists can and do disagree all the time about what their apparatuses are doing, what the results mean, and so on -- at least, they do at the beginning of the experiment. By the end, they have gone through a process that results in agreement, which allows them to write a paper together declaring things in an objective manner. So it is important to distinguish between the "inputs" to scientific practice (our individual, subjective initial guesses about what is going on) from the products of that practice (effectively objective statements). QBism interprets wavefunctions not as products but as inputs: we need to start with a prior "best guess" about the probabilities, and it its the interactive process of updating our subjective priors in light of data that leads us to converge on a single wavefunction, which then attains an objective status in the sense of being the same for everyone. QBism's point is that this whole process of "objectification" is itself a process to be analyzed, not taken for granted as if the objectivity were there from the beginning.

2. The PBR theorem (which you cite) doesn't bite QBism, and PBR themselves admit as much in their paper. See point 8 in [https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.13401].

3. What you say would be silly, if QBism treated classical states as "more real" than quantum states. But they don't.

QBism treats quantum and classical states on the same footing: both are sets of subjective probabilities about the outcomes of possible measurements you could do. So classical states are probability distributions, and probabilities in QBism always represent subjective degrees of belief of an agent (following the de Finetti/ Ramsey school of probability theory). The difference between classical and quantum states in QBism does not lie in what the states ARE, it lies in the rules that tell you how to compute one state given your subjective beliefs about another state. And those rules are objective in QBism; as objective as the rule that says probabilities have to add up to one.

4. Doubly ironically then, this is probably the one point raised by critics that hits the QBists hardest. QBism can bring clarity to many issues (I find it handily resolves the measurement problem and non-locality of "collapse" - see eg.[https://arxiv.org/abs/1311.5253]) but there are still plenty of physical phenomena that don't yet have a neat QBist explanation.

Well yeah, but that collaboration is also often done via phone/videoconference, and some of the things discussed may not be for everyone's ears, so I can understand them wanting a private office. The logic behind cramming developers into open-space offices is more along the lines of "their job is more or less silent, and they don't have as many calls that could disturb the others, so we can put them all in a big room and save money, yay!".
The problem with the model where everybody is inputting all the time, is that nobody is actually doing any of the work to turn that noise into product. It's not a sustainable model for actually accomplishing anything, unless you've got engineers taking things off-the-clock and turning that discussioning into code in the late night or early morning hours.

Been there, done that, it's not any fun, and a good way to get resentful and burned out. It's really helpful to formalize communication to a greater degree.

I interned at a company decades ago that was doing large dynamic system simulations and worked with an older guy who was known for knowing how to make the solvers work on impossible sysyems. One of his biggest tricks was replacing discontinuities with various tuned arctan so that transitions are smooth and integrators don't thrash about computing derivatives.
But try to withhold payment if you get no treatment - deary me, no no no, that sends you to jail (really, in some places).
Society is a closed system. Mandating wearing seatbelts only saves me right? Except that someone will have to go to the effort of scraping me off the sidewalk, attempting to resuscitate me, transporting me to the hospital, resources at the hospital will be consumed that could have otherwise been preserved or applied elsewhere, and if I'm not insured, the cost of most of this will be borne by others. If I don't make it, what happens to my dependents? Friends? Family? People counting on me at work?

Communicable disease and taking reasonable precaution isn't that different. This one is interesting because its virality and fatality rates are apparently on the cusp of what society as a whole agrees are worth doing something about.

It’ll all be natural language interfaces based on neural networks like that.

I wish things were otherwise but I can’t in good faith recommend someone learn “to code” or learn any programming language anymore.
I think the good trade-off is small-ish rooms with O(4) desks/people, ideally ones you work with. It is still sociable, reasonably private, but without the constant droning sound of the open floor.

> let's say that some integer must be between 10 and 100, do you use type checks for this?

Yes. I explicitly mentioned dependent types for this reason.

This is also expressable in a more limited fashion in a language like TypeScript, although some may argue it also employs a form of dependent typing.

The doomsday device on Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove is also a fictional cobalt type bomb, or as quoted [0] in the movie:

"If you take, say, fifty H-bombs in the hundred megaton range and jacket them with Cobalt-Thorium G, when they are exploded they will produce a doomsday shroud. A lethal cloud of radioactivity which will encircle the earth for ninety-three years!"

It's a fantastic movie that I highly recommend to anybody that hasn't seen it yet.

We have 5 people in my family. We cook different meals for ourselves vs. children due to different dietary requirements. So the kids have learned to cook their own things, too, and do so for 2 out of 3 meals each day. If you assume even just 2 openings of the fridge to get ingredients for each meal and put them back, that is 24 openings at a bare minimum. Adding in some snacking and needing more than 2 openings for ingredients when cooking, that isn't hard to envision 40+ openings.

But aside from the arithmetic, I'd think the number of times matters less than how spread out they are. If it opens and closes often during mealtimes, but stays shut the rest of the day, does the number of times it was opened really make a huge difference?
