> What's wrong with lying

Where to start.

First of all, dignity.

Mental pollution.

Problematic instancing of what is «greater good».

Retribution.

Precendents and possibility of abuse.

Alienating all those who immediately cease trust [against the matter] in front of what smells of a lie.

Cessation of trust [against the agent].

...There must be more.
> So just as you can't know whether you're the one spreading COVID, you can't know if you're the bad the driver.

This really isn't remotely analogous, particularly since you absolutely can know you're at risk of spreading COVID.
> I think Cheney was pulling the shots and knowingly and cynically ignored all of those glaring warnings, thinking they'd get maybe a small attack somewhere with a smaller number of US deaths

Did he have so much control that he could suppress intelligence about an attack? I know he was pretty powerful for a vice president, but it sounds weird to me that one guy who isn't even in command could do that.

Note I'm not American and don't know that much about that period.
With this and Afghanistan coverage one really needs to analyze what the media CHOOSES to cover. There are plenty of other things just a little less rare and way more scary than breakthrough cases of covid. With Afghanistan, the major news stations devoted a like a grand total of 5 minutes on Afghanistan before we withdrew.
-Werror can be useful for CI, but elsewhere it is obnoxious. Warnings should be warnings, errors should be errors. If you always turn warnings into errors then you remove a useful tool.

Warnings do not mean the program is incorrect, and lack of warnings do not mean the program is correct. It is just heuristics, and changes between major versions and different implementations, even while the program execution behavior is exactly the same. OpenBSD cares about portability. A well implemented program should work correctly with a good range of different reasonable compilers, and -Werror really throws a wrench in that.

Imagine you want to update the compiler to a new major version that has some corner-case correctness improvement or some security mitigation feature - but it also has a new warning. Can't do that! Unless you change the source of a bunch of libraries and applications which you didn't write. Mistakes have been made fixing warnings, like the infamous Debian openssl fix that removed most of the entropy from generated ssh keys.

If you care about correctness, you pay attention to and fix warnings where appropriate, without forcing yourself by making all your builds on different compiler versions/implementations just fail.

There was a time that CPython wanted to add a deprecation warning, but some popular libraries ran tests with the equivalent of -Werror during a regular build/install (trying to be super-correct best-practices etc), so adding a warning would break compatibility with most of the ecosystem, so CPython couldn't just add the warning using the long-established system. Instead they had to come up with a new system for warnings shown in some circumstances and not others, to effectively trick these super-best-practices projects into still working.
> though I have never had it tested.

Unless neighbors had theirs tested, there's no reason to assume there are issues with your well's water quality or that fracking caused them. Testing it if you plan on using it again is reasonable, though.
Wouldn’t something like requiring their employers to pay into a pension fund that is invested in a safe mix of stocks and other assets allow more of the population to share in corporate profits? (Ignoring social security for the moment, but assuming the policy was implemented as a similar sort of thing; but perhaps not as a deduction from the nominal wage).
The problem with it is that you lose trust.

If I know you lied about the efficacy of the vaccine then how do I know you didn't lie about the chance of bad side effects too?

In English, pink and brown are very specific colors which the brains of native speakers might not associate with their true hue values.

That's why the original commenter was having difficulty finding brown, because we do not necessarily associate it with a dark orange or flesh color with de-saturated red or orange.

But if we were trying to paint something like dark teal water. The brain would immediately go straight to blues/greens.

These "color categories" that we form in our brains can be different in every culture or language. That is issue with what was suggested.
Can you provide a more reliable statistic?
Wow, I didn't know that. The engine in my favorite airplane (Fairchild P-47) had 36 spark plugs. That's a hell of a maintenance requirement.
> [Indoor dining] is probably a risk that should be avoided

Eh. I have seen conflicting data on this. For example, some studies attributed only 1% of COVID spread to indoor dining (sorry in advance, I don't have a citation). My area is very highly vaccinated and requires all people to show a vaccine card to eat indoors, and while we do have some cases, the per capita rate right now is about 1/10000 and level.

Also, point of order, you can tell me I "should" do something according to your values, or according to some mutually agreed standard (which in this case does not exist), but you cannot tell me what I should do according to my values. I feel like this is a point of communication disconnect between those of us who favor increased or decreased COVID restrictions.
Direct deaths, indirect should be several millions
You’re conflating the wrong things again, if you’re worried about what others value then yes you need to make a name for yourself. But if all you want is happiness, other people’s judgment isn’t necessary

Says who?

What if we have been doing it wrong until now?

Maybe, going forward, we should have proper vaccine passports which include everything, not only COVID-19.

Have you had all your shots, or not.
They should probably be like LLVM and just keep a C wrapper around new C++ interfaces for such purposes.

But agreed this is the right first step.
Very similar to you. Had double Pfizer. Felt like crap on a Sunday, felt worse on Monday so skipped work and took a lateral flow test which came back negative. Same symptoms but for maybe 5 days. Lost my sense of taste on day 3 which was also the day I tested positive (I didn't take a test on day 2). I stopped testing positive a few days later, but taste was lost for maybe a week.

I had a cough for maybe 10 days, which has just subsided. I can't tell if I have brain fog, as my cough was really preventing me from sleeping well.

One interesting observation: I was pretty ravenous the entire time. I had a fever and was sweating like a pregnant nun in church, but I never lost my appetite. If anything, it turbocharged.
Improved quality of life and reduced infant mortality are shown to reduce population growth by creating incentives for people to have fewer children. If you want fewer people, then you want to improve the material well-being if as many people as possible. As it stands, the global population is projected to peak at around 10 billion people some time this century, per current trends.
Also the research mentioned in the article was commissioned and funded by the US, and covered up by US bodies until they were forced by a court to release documents. Any action against dangerous research needs to be global really.

> That's why you were having difficulty finding brown

Not sure if you’re replying to the right person? I didn’t say anything about finding brown being difficult.

I don't even know what that would mean for it to be difficult to find a colour?

> because you do not necessarily associate it with a dark orange

That’s what brown is - a dark orange. The same way navy is a dark blue. But nobody makes videos claiming that navy is a weird colour because it’s actually dark blue.

Why Americans Die So Much More Than Europeans
Not all health agencies, for instance in New Zealand they have been very honest about the science and what is known.

Regarding the article, I think many people wanted to know that there was an "end" in sight to COVID. This narrative was attached to Vaccines as "the end" by much of the press that I watch in the states.

Here in NZ the press is putting pressure on the Govt. to ease lock-down restrictions as the vaccination rate goes up. But we're still reluctant to allow covid in "and just live with it" even as levels of vaccination rise.

I think the only realistic "end" is when the multiplicative effect of masks, caution (social distancing for eg) and the vaccine reduces R below 1 in each individual country long enough to achieve elimination over time.

It would be a pity if in some communities Covid is never eliminated.
That's actually great feedback - I realize I left some key points out in that regard. Just updated it to try to be more clear, and communicate that I agree the responsibility rests almost entirely on the platform itself.

> at our current covid death rate, that 45K people happens about every 10 to 15 days. call it two weeks for simplicity's sake.

Your math is wrong, 45 /1.5 = 30

But so what? 8,000 people tragically die a day in the US under accepted normal conditions and we move on.

> none of this has ANYTHING TO DO with the argument I made, which is that the grandparent's estimate of a worst-case scenario was just wildly inaccurate

Realistically if you are young, healthy, and vaccinated that is the worst case scenario.
Even a few weeks of "brain fog" would be pretty devastating to my mental health, ability to earn a living, and ability to be an effective parent.
I agree with this and was wondering the same thing. Would love to see randomized studies comparing a) control, b) sauna c) exercise d) sauna + exercise.

On the other hand, anecdotally, lots of Russian weighlifters swear by sauna benefits and have been doing it for decades as a recovery from grueling daily heavy sessions.
Tbh the whole reason I actually had the shots was because it would increase my chances of survival but that is not my point.

I'm not saying the vaccine is good or bad. What I am saying is: As long as it's not 100% safe people shouldn't be forced to have it (or coerced by any means).

Neither you or anyone else has the right to force(or coerce by limiting their freedoms) anyone to do anything that has even a 0,00000001 change of being detrimental to them. It's their life, their body, their choice.

If the excuse if to "protect the vulnerable" then lockdown people like me that are considered vulnerable and leave the healthy ones alone to mind their lives. I am aware that I'm at risk and it's my choice how I deal with it. What give anyone the right to make the decision for me?

If my mother chose not to have it... All I can and will do is respect her call. At the end of the day she paid for the priviledge to end up in a hospital bed if that is her choice. Her tax money at work. It's as simple as that.

The world is already overpopulated. We just haven’t completely destroyed it yet.

The way we currently run the world is not sustainable long term for even the current population.
My favorite general relativity paradox: A runner is running with a 20m pole at a sufficient velocity so that a stationary observer sees the pole having length 10m. The runner runs through a barn which is 10m long. And two people outside shut the doors simultaneously so that the runner is completely enclosed in the barn for a moment.

But from the runner's perspective, the barn has length 5m long. What does she see happen when the doors are closed on her?
Not true. We know it didn't come from any viruses that have been published but the Chinese have been pretty diligent at taking down databases and hiding information and there are almost certainly many viruses they have that we don't have the details of that they could have used.

I have to say the data hiding is pretty suspicious. If it was a natural virus it would be useful to have a look at WIVs extensive research on bat coronaviruses and have a look at the other nine they took from the Mojang mine along with RaTg13. If they have nothing to hide why hide that stuff as soon as we have a pandemic that it would be relevant for?

You're painting with an awfully broad brush against a very divided country on military policy which has been shaped by closed policy taking shape since the Carter administration. A lot of which was covert operations and came out when the freedom of information act came about. Now you expect a full blown violent revolution. What a short sighted, poorly thought out action.... but if violence and burning is the only way to "get you some change", it doesn't leave a lot for the future. Good luck and I wish you the best, but that isn't my way unless there is no other choice. And I mean no other choice, whatsoever.
> at our current covid death rate, that 45K people happens about every 10 to 15 days. call it two weeks for simplicity's sake.

I think your numbers may be a tad off in general, but regardless, I'm pretty sure you're including unvaccinated adults. While I absolutely don't want anyone to die, I don't feel a responsibility to protect people who aren't willing to take the most basic of steps to protect themselves.

Why? Amphetamine is arguably better than caffeine as well, and serves a similar purpose. Thats obviously somewhat subjective, though.

So yes, seems so.
Every one of those examples has nothing to do with requiring vaccinations to attend schools. Only the last one has any relation to vaccine mandates at all and the causal link there is somewhat tenous given the sordid particulars of Buck v Bell (including the deliberate incompetence of Buck's lawyer). It isn't clear that case would have gone differently without the Jacobsen v. Massachusetts precedent.

Given the strength which which you made your claim, I thought you would have better evidence to support it.

I do think that the medical attrocities you list have had a lasting and deleterious effect on public trust of government medical ethics and contribute significantly to vaccine hestitancy.

> Most programs do not need precise control over these sizes; many programs that do try to achieve this control would be better off if they didn't.

Interesting that modern languages like rust, go, and zig all lean towards using integer types with well defined sizes. I think that we've learned that the less exact definitions in c can cause problems. For example, if you develope and test in an environment where int is 32 bits, you could easily end up with bugs that only exist if int is 16 bits.
Your argument could be as easily used to say "maybe mass murder isn't a bad thing."

The early death of a person who would prefer continue living is, to reasonable people, a tragedy.

If overpopulation is really such a problem, I'd think incentivizing the choice to have fewer kids is a reasonable one.
I'm really not. 78% utilization is completely unsustainable when 20% of the utilization is from COVID and infection rates can easily double in the span of two weeks.

78% may have been the past utilization, however nowadays use of the ICU removing COVID patients is around 60%. So clearly there has been some level of denial of care. And even then we are close to the breaking point.

I think you're not making the point you think you're making with that data. 78% utilization is a lot when a very significant part of that is from an infectious disease known to spiral out of control easily.

What Is the Internet of Things? Everything You Need to Know About IoT
>Most people are not aware of telemetry. Most of those that are, disable it.

Do you have some numbers to back this up? I would suggest getting that before making any major product decisions. Also if you read the privacy policy, the telemetry is spelled out in detail, or at least it should be, so the people who are voting should be well aware of what is going on. If nobody reads it, then the solution there would then be to make it obvious and easy to read, not to throw it out completely.

>I fully agree, that is the other reason zero telemetry is a way to go and should be default. You can not beat that.

I don't understand. That isn't a meaningful comparison because you're comparing it with nothing, you would need to present an alternate data source. This to me is kind of like saying "not having a stomach beats having a stomach because you won't need to worry about eating anymore" or something like that.

>Imagine in an election, the votes of those who didn't explicitly vote get automatically extracted and cast based on a biased algorithm produced by the government.

I'm sorry but this is exactly what various governments already do in a lot of cases. Not for general elections but for services or programs that they run or for appointed positions. They will do a study with passive data gathering and determine who is actually using what services, and if the results are good they will increase funding to the service, otherwise they will cut funding, fire people, etc. This is generally how any organization functions at scale, so I really don't understand what you're getting at here or what alternative you're proposing. If you want to apply this to product development, it would simply be infeasible for users to vote on every single ticket that a developer handles, so you need to find some other data-driven way to make decisions. That's what telemetry is put in place to do. I think there is a misunderstanding here of how this works, but it's not your fault.

I wish you luck with your company, but I suspect you will have difficulty getting funding on the level of Firefox or Chrome, especially if you have no hard data from some kind of telemetry or similar source. The privacy-conscious user is known to be a fickle market. I also would advise against making misleading and/or unsourced statements about other browsers if you intend to develop a competing product, this makes your company look bad.
