> SpaceX would not exist without inequality. Nor that supercomputer in your pocket.

Neither would exist without massive government-led taxpayer-funded investments, made during an era when inequality was far lower than it is today.
I don't understand the jab at closed source but I also find it weird people are so proud of software designed by least common denominator coders to be given, pleadingly, as charity to mega-corps.
And the pollution is magically washed out if the environment?
SpaceX wasn't built from scratch. They had some ex-NASA talent and depend on publicly owned launch facilities.

IMO on the whole they're also not a great example of sustainable progress. (Unless I'm overestimating their carbon footprint.)
How privileged you are.

My last two Visas had multiple vaccine requirements. Prove I'm vaccinated, get vaccinated, or lose my job.

This isn't anything new for a lot of people.
Maybe. However if I understand correctly it is much more contagious than the flu which means that this 0.4% will die almost at the same time (say in a year), while the flu will have to circulate for years until it claims its own 0.1% (or whatever percent). I am not an expert, btw.
It depends on the style!!

Many stiles have a clear contrast between "active" and "in-active", but some don't have.

E.g. some of the styles used during the early testing for the default non-light/non-dark theme had close to non differentiable, and it seems some people are still hit by this.
Yawn. If you're after a Let's Encrypt bashing session then I suggest you take it elsewhere.

They might not be perfect, but you get what you pay for, just like open-source software. Free but no warranty. Fine by me since Let's Encrypt is available 99.999% of the time, outages are the exception rather than the rule (plus you should always be renewing your certs in good time and not at the last minute).
I agree†, but the poll is still interesting.

† Although I think under those limited circumstances, the affected should be able to make their own choices about what is important to them in life, since they are the ones most at risk anyway.
They are in the US and pre-COVID many schools and occupations (esp. healthcare) had requirements as well.
Just because there haven’t been new vaccine mandates in your lifetime doesn’t mean they’re a new or unprecedented idea. I say new because anyone who attended a school has very likely already been subject to vaccine mandates for diseases we don’t see as much anymore, so it’s only the introduction of a new mandate that presumably may seem unprecedented.
And yet, it is also considered that he has benefited more than harmed; simply by helping provide countless people with refrigeration.
I don't know that there are documented non-COVID deaths due to it, but various parts of the southern US (where vaccination rates are low) have reported ICUs at or near capacity. E.g.

https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/health/2021/08/19/tenn...

One has to assume that at a certain level there is a finite quantity of medical care available at a given facility, and a spike in COVID cases would deplete it. Whether or not that threshold has been crossed, and if not how close such places are to crossing it, is an interesting question.
Looks like he and the guy he had been talking to directly account for ~95% of the line changes over the last 15 years. The next 2 highest account for ~3.5% but haven't been active in years.
Fear and Loathing in America (2001)
J is also way harder to learn in my opinion due to it having many times more operators. K2 and Q also have official books.
The entire experiment of socialism enforced on roughly half the worlds population in the 20th century would be the prime example.

Early soviet history had attempts to eliminate currency and other actions which invariably failed. The Soviet Union didn’t lack inequality but it was much more equal than tzarist Russia.

There are also many examples of failed communal ownership utopias at the local level. The outcome has largely been to move asset control to whoever has the greatest political clout in the community.
> Coronavirus was and is a real crisis. They do sometimes happen

Yes and crises precipitate change. It's in everyone's best interest to not let that change be an erosion of hard-won human rights and civil liberties. What kind of crises would it take for us to give those up? It's an important question, and the diversity of everyone's opinion is a crucial feature.
>I am not american so not sure why this reply is supposed to mean anything.

Does not being American affect your ability to read? I'm not Asian but I understand why many cultures have long ago adopted the widespread use of masks to prevent spreading illness.
No vaccine? You're never getting a haircut again. Or buying clothes in a store. Or meeting friends outside or going to a restaurant.

Australia is done, I'm making plans to leave.

And judging by the downvotes people think this stuff is acceptable?
> Your link does not seem to support that Covid-19 is 10x more deadly than influenza in a vaccinated person, like the poster you are replying to.

But my point wasn't about op, it was about the population as a whole, hence the "especially in vulnerable population" part.
I think the default theme depends on your OS theme or something like that (could also be the gnome theme, not sure).
I am a brown immigrant. I am critiquing America's system.
It’s not that complicated. The wage clearly has to be somewhere between the minimum wage in the country and 100% of the value (okay, perceived value) that the worker generates for the employer. Supply-vs-demand _can_ dictate where on the curve this labor is priced, but it doesn’t always- unions, networking, or even the ability to look like you can make the company more money go beyond that.
I suspect it’s more likely they have a bunch of internal frameworks for creating, accessing, and distributing simple databases (something akin to SQLite).

So the difficulty we’re seeing here isn’t deliberate obfuscation, but rather just an dev using a database structure to make app design and word lookup easier.

If there really was licensing concerns I would expect there to at-least be some basic encryption, not just some basic compression.
There are cheap Nextcloud instance available elsewhere, such as Hetzner.

Why would you blame random scapegoats instead of the people who are actually deciding to implement dystopian totalitarianism?
Yeah? What should the gov do in a health emergency?
My partner and I were talking about Paprika. And how the file we downloaded didn't work halfway through. Realising we must have downloaded the same torrent long time ago. It was slightly romantic. Don't think I've ever really considered seeders and peers (prob peoplewith similar tasteas yours).
I don't know how to tell you this, except to say that how terrible drivers are is summed up in the fatalities/mile statistic, and the number of miles is indeed important here. The way you are responding is completely counter but you don't provide any evidence. If what you said was true then the fatality/miles ratio would be much higher.
So, do the people support this? Is this a failure of a democracy, or do the people really want this?
Are you ok with going to a bar and showing you don't have HIV so in case you hook up with someone you won't spread it?

Or to go to a restaurant and prove you have a flu vaccine?

Or tuberculosis exam as it also spreads via the air from an infected person?

What about if you haven't been able to get the vaccine (like my girlfriend which she is stuck in a fucking bureaucratic limbo due to most public services not working due to.. well guess what, COVID lockdowns) and not being able to be part of everyday life?

And I really dislike the 'well we have mandatory things already, so why not this also?' way of thinking. If now to enter a restaurant we required a rectal exam, it should be ok right? you already have a driving license so we should be able to ask anything else based on that alone
I’m confused by you posting this link. The conclusion at the end of the post is that Eigen is the fastest library? Did I miss something?
Presumably the GP is referring to a conception of rights that exist independently of a piece of paper declaring their existence.
Yes, for you. The point I've been stressing is that it's (mask wearing, social distancing) not just about you.

Because you don't live in an isolated tribe, some percentage of your population remains at risk of contracting covid and perpetuating its spread.
It depends. There's a lot of people on/around IRC who really like it (see libera and all the other networks), and yeah there definitely are people spinning up new smaller networks. Especially with things like https://sr.ht/~emersion/gamja/ and self-hosted https://kiwiirc.com/ , as well as really polished client experiences like irccloud, it's easier to convince people to join in.

Right now I'm working with a dev from libera on a client that aims to replicate a lot of things experience-wise from newer chat services. Hoping that with that, smaller self-contained servers can become more of a norm~ But for now, your best bets for finding activity are probably Libera and a couple of the other larger networks.
I wonder if Dlangs "betterC" would be a good fit, since you get real metaprogramming then.
If I need javascript help, I can join ##javascript on Libera. C? ##c. There are active channels and networks for the majority of topics HN is interested in.
> Making it stable enough is a hercluean task for the Cloud provider, but the customer never has to think about it.

If the Cloud provider messes up, the customer still has to think about it. I'm not a huge fan of high level cloud services for critical infrastructure, because they're likely to go wrong (as high level services do from time to time) and when they do, you'll usually have little visibility into them, which makes recovery dependent on the Cloud provider.
This headline is misleading ... "Australian gov" sounds like the Australian Federal government, but the government in question is the South Australian government, which is a State gov.
What immediately came to mind wasn't this but an Aussie matrix spoof Computer Boy. Congrats go out to the Fanimatrix crew and BitTorrent for holding up as well as it has. There seems to be less BT piracy from what I can see/guess but what exists I wish was less of ripping off blockbusters and more of preserving abandoned gems.
I’m done with this bullshit.

Fuck Covid. Fuck extreme over reactions to it and Fuck Joe Biden.
Then get vaccinated and don’t worry about it.

We're listed on ircstats.org (under our old name of Oragono) as having 84 deployments on the public Internet last year: <https://www.ircstats.org/servers/oragono>

From pseudonymous support requests I've received in our IRC channel and on GitHub, I know of more deployments that are either private (requiring authentication to connect) or on the darknet (we have specific support for running as a Tor onion service). So I think that's our niche right now: small communities who want full autonomy in moderation and control of their data. I've taken a lot of inspiration from Darius Kazemi's runyourown.social: <https://runyourown.social/>
There's also ssize_t and ptrdiff_t for offsets that might be negative. Use is pretty nuanced, read the docs before using, etc.
Your situation is different.

If you require a visa, you are by definition a guest in another country. It isn't the hosts' responsibility to take care of you if you fall ill. You have the choice to stay or leave.

Citizens on the other hand don't really have any options. Being unemployed isn't an option. Nor is becoming a citizen of another country for most.
You are not being forced to do this.

You can instead spend 2 weeks locked up in a hotel at your expense.
> This makes me think that the federated network must by necessity exist in a fragile and tender state while Matrix is young, and need to be tended to with attention and care. The current stewards of the protocol don’t seem to be giving it that, growing features (even if good and competently designed ones) while treating the surroundings with something of a “they will come” approach. (To put it uncharitably: Look, there are now a whole two comprehensive server implementations, and the second one you could even afford a server for! Yeah, the Gnome people gave up on independently implementing a secure client, but surely an Electron one should be enough?..)

It's one thing to be uncharitable; it's another thing to be spouting stuff which is demonstrably false.

There are three usable server implementations participating in the network; synapse, dendrite and conduit (four, if you include construct). Synapse runs fine on a VPS with 2-4GB of RAM for almost all personal usage patterns, so snark about "servers you can afford" is BS. In addition to that we reduced its RAM footprint by 2-3x over the last few months (https://twitter.com/matrixdotorg/status/1434912387933560837).

The GNOME Fractal team hasn't given up at all - they just chose to rewrite the app for Gtk4, shifted to using matrix-rust-sdk in order to focus on the GUI layer and have been busier than ever.

> I’ve spent a very limited time studying the situation

This is clear.
>>Moreover, employers enjoy a bargaining advantage over workers and can coerce them to accept worse terms, because they need individual workers less than individual workers need employment.

Where does Smith argue this? What's striking in Smith's writings is how strongly he opposed high taxes on any group, including the rich, and any sort of infringement on contract liberty. With respect to the latter, in every prescription in the Wealth of Nations where he mentions regulations, he argues that such restrictions are immoral, irrespective of the intention behind them.

As for Smith's claim that abnormally high profits are a pathology stemming from curtailments of market freedom, it has been validated by economic analyses that show profit margins correlated with the degree of regulatory restrictions in an industry. Occupations that provide a pay premium, above what is expected from the skills and education level of the worker, are also concentrated in highly regulated sectors:

https://www.brookings.edu/research/make-elites-compete-why-t...

This same trend in seen in housing, with increases in regulatory restrictions in property development contributing to income inequality:

What I've witnessed in the cryptocurrency market is the same: token sales once gave access to lucrative early stage investment opportunities, like Ethereum which launched with a permissionless crowdsale open to anyone in the world with BTC.

This study confirms that:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11408-020-00366-0

"The average ICO has almost 4700 contributors. The median contributor invests a relatively small amount. The ICO market appears to have successfully given access to the financing of innovation to a new class of investors, which is a long-standing public policy issue"

In 2017, the SEC effectively shut down programmatic token sales, bases on its ideological tenet that centralized regulatory gatkeeping provides "investor protection", and since then, the huge opportunities have been fully monopolized by venture capital firms. Some have seen 1000X returns on investment by being alone in funding pre-launch projects.

The most valuable smart contract platforms launched since 2017 almost all have token distributions where at least a third or half of tokens went to a small group of venture capitalists who were able to bid on the first release of tokens without any competition from ordinary retail investors:

The chief medical officer of New South Wales said it during a press conference recently
I'm still skimming through the article on my mobile, so I haven't read it all, but I think "the problem of induction" by Hume is the core of the dilemma.

Russel on the problem: The farmers' chicks get fed every day since birth. They infer that since tomorrow is a new day, food will be brought tomorrow. And that reasoning is indeed true: every time they wake up there's soy beans... Until one day the farmer wrings their necks.
Came here to point this out too

Plus it's been done already by the Western Australian state government

The first being obvious enough in its abhorrence, and the second being a violation of human rights as defined by the UN. Unfortunately it seems like a large amount of Australians are eager for even more of this authoritarianism. By the time they learn their lesson it will be too late.
libstdc++.so (and libc++.so if you're bent that way) contain the standard stream objects, some standard string functions specialized on `char`, some threading and synchrony support and important parts of the C++ language runtime (eg. a default ::operator new, some of the exception unwinding and RTTI mechanisms). And that's it. It's actually fairly small and basic.

Pretty much everything else in the C++ standard library is template code in headers and gets instantiated when needed. You may end up having identical templated functions emitted into several different translation units and the linker will chose one at link time, which is one major reason why C++ is slower to build.

Only template functions that are actually used get instantiated. If you include a header with a gazillion templated functions (namespace level or member functions, it doesn't matter) you are most likely to end up with only one or two instantiated in your binary. Templates are like a cookbook, and just because Larousse has 10,000 recipes does not mean that's how much you're going to eat at every meal. Consider there is virtually an infinite number of possible instantiations for every template.
Well how do you enforce a concept? One move would be to introduce a bill of rights
No, it hasn't, but just posting an article how in the US before there was a vaccine mandate adds nothing to the discussion. Many countries never had them (and the world isn't only the US), and even if the US or other country has done this before, doesn't mean it is right to do so now.
> Funny how the "safety-ism" after 9/11 was pushed by the Republicans and now the Republicans are complaining about Democrats pushing safety measures against Covid.

So your answer is to go sophist ad-hominem, by putting me in a group you find unfavorable rather than addressing the content of what I said. Am I letting the terrorist win or am I killing grandmas ? therefore you can justify x.

> Except y'know most of these measures actually drastically reduce transmission

This is very un-specific, but aside from vaccinations & living in a country with island like borders, very little has been definitely shown to reduce spread.

> maybe this should be considered a national defense emergency and the US should invest a few more billions

I'm not especially against that, even though I do think that unfortunately in practice these things risk end up just being vehicles for cronyism rather than tackling the core issue.
In the UK, I've never had to prove vaccination of any kind. From my perspective, these "mandates" have never existed before.
Seriously what a clickbait article.
What is the connection to the US here? This article and the GP primarily concern Germany, as far as I'm aware.
Barreling towards Idiocracy, one dumb rule at a time.
> The wage clearly has to be somewhere between the minimum wage in the country and 100% of the value (okay, perceived value) that the worker generates for the employer.

As long as companies can keep finding investors to bankroll them, workers can be paid more than the value they generate.
Obesity is a big factor cough but there are others.

I found this article (https://ourworldindata.org/us-life-expectancy-low) that shows a number of factors that contribute to the higher American mortality rate. Unfortunately it does not cover ALL causes of death, though if you want, you could independently investigate that[1]. Compared to Western Europe, Americans die at higher rates from smoking, obesity, homicides, opioid overdoses, and road accidents. There are two other graphed factors that don't have an option to compare with "Western Europe", but on those, it's relatively plain that the United States has a significantly higher infant mortality rate and significantly less access to healthcare.

And then there are suicide rates, which have increased some in the United States, but which are middle of the road compared to European countries (France is higher, Germany's about the same, Italy, the UK, and Norway are lower... I did not check these exhaustively). You'll have to click the button on the graph to change the country and then add up the rate by each age to get a comparison. I suppose the middle-range American suicide rate didn't fit the narrative of the article, but the author still wanted to highlight it as a concern given that it's been going up in the United States.

(Unfortunately, not every graph shows the same set of countries compared to the United States, which makes me think the author chose to cherry pick countries for specific graphs, and I'm not sure why, because it doesn't seem necessary. For example, the graphs in the article allow you to choose additional countries and sometimes regions to add to the graph; if I add "Western Europe" to each graph where it's an available option, the trends that the author is illustrating are completely preserved.)

vaccinated people can still spread it to their family (kids still can’t get vaccinated), also note breakthrough infections. I live with an immunocompromised person so I won’t take the risk, if the vaccine isn’t mandated I wont go.
Valuations have been stretched for almost half a decade now according to old market metrics.

All of these valuation metrics were originally derived when actively managed mutual funds ruled the roost.

Passive ETFs are imposing an entirely different trading/investing ruleset on the system.

This should not be underestimated.
I don't consider it even close to inarguable. The fact that there are some "big names" that help shape, shift and constrain public discourse does not imply that the same people also shape policy decisions.

[ EDIT: I don't know that the JJ founder does anything at all on policy, but he seemed to be playing the role of "stand-in for rich people that potentially push policies but nobody knows who they are". ]
