In practice clinical systems interoperability is still very limited. Many provider organizations remain unable to share data with each other, especially across state lines. State immunization registries exist, but data updates lag and some patients will have been vaccinated in other states or countries.
I had a lot more candid conversations with people back when at least one of us had an office door to close. We have only begun to absorb the importance of psychological safety in software development. We rarely chase it directly, instead championing analogs that can be twisted out of shape and work at cross purposes.

I can't tell you the number of times I've had arguments about what the point of unit test coverage is. The goal is not 100% coverage. The goal is to look at a green report and say, "I'm pretty sure this will work if you ship it." To trust the code. Yours, and everyone else's. To feel safe in making changes, or absorbing them. And for that to be useful, that report needs to arrive sooner and more reliably than another path I could use to arrive at the same conclusion. And that is why E2E tests are such a problem - they can take over 2 orders of magnitude as long to run as the unit tests, and still be wrong.
Parent comment was suggesting they turn away unvaccinated patients in order to leave a certain number of ICU beds open.
>If you have an idea for a better way, you should share it.

I'm certain that the other poster won't present some kind of practical outline because part-way through the brainstorming they will realize they are designing a "Social Credit Score" and become too frustrated to continue.
> make sure that patients don't bring in any ignition sources or highly flammable objects.

Out of curiosity, what would this include? Smartphones? Bluetooth headphones (to be used with smartphones that are outside)? Smartwatches?
At this point in treatment, a lower risk option would likely not be enough. That said, the hospitals didn't do anything at all. A low risk option would have been better than nothing.

Why do people still ride horses? We don't need them, yet some people own and care for horses. Some people still drive Model T Fords, and other old things.

I still want a Gray Planer (a huge old obsolete machine tool) taking up a huge chunk of my garage, for zero practical reason. Though I'd settle for a benchtop shaper.

A lot of programs were written back in the days of MS-DOS that people got used to using, and they still work. You can't directly run MS-DOS programs anymore. You used to be able to right up to Windows 7, 32bit.

If you've got an old program that still does a job, you're used to it, why change anything?

There are programs that talk to hardware that run on MS-DOS, those programs and hardware represent a huge investment of time and effort, writing the program, building the hardware, and especially debugging the system. If you have those systems in production, you're going to do every single thing you can just to keep them running. You are certainly not going to risk any changes to a working system in the name of efficiency, especially if your business, or job, depends on it.

In many, many cases the original people, documentation, and decisions that went into the design are all unavailable, and all you have left is the artifact that works reliably if you maintain it and feed it proper inputs.

Museums and Archivists need to run old software to be able to retrieve old documents. For most cases, you could use DOSbox, or QEMU , but sometimes you need the old programs on the old hardware.

Finally, and likely most importantly, is nostalgia. For many of us our first real computer was an IBM compatible running MS-DOS. Because you can't buy DOS any more, FreeDOS does the job.
I think some likely did end up there after missing an early monoclonal antibody treatment protocol. Those are low-risk, high-effectiveness treatments for early phases and yet do not appear to be a universal standard of care for eligible patients.

(Low risk enough that they’re approved for some confirmed exposure cases prior to developing even a positive PCR test result.)

If you want a demo for https://aiven.io, I would be happy to give a walkthrough (non sales related, purely technical)? Or, if there is enough interest, I could do a short video explanation and upload here.
Do agree - the lesser damage is definitely vaping.

And Pareto -ranked risk analysis should be the ONLY way to decide such things.

The societal veto is "Yeah, we want cars despite being highly Pareto-ranked for death!" in which case NOTHING with lower rank should be worried about or allowed to be regulated more than what is spent on that particular risk!

But facebook comes across as unwilling and uninterested to fix the bugs in cases like these. Sometimes, even, the bugs themselves seem to surface resulting from fundamentally misstructuring the problem.

Ah yes, the war against the free market continues, unabated. Certain tenets of socialist ideology - like the idea that large companies exploit the masses if afforded contract liberty - are so deeply ingrained in the collective psyche, that they are never even questioned.

The beliefs of fringe groups rest on a set of absurd conspiracy theories, like vaccines being harmful to public health, and pushed on the population merely to profit Big Pharma. But the beliefs of the mainstream rest on a set of equally absurd conspiracy theories, and all of them based on socialist class warfare narratives. It is in the interests of a critical mass of special interest groups, who hold political power, for people to believe in these conspiracy theories.
Rust is just getting started to see the same problems as C in the 80's (becoming successful enough that multiple competing compiler implementations emerged, which in turn required standardization). I think that the same will happen with Rust (but those can be good things, if it works more like the C committee and less like the C++ committee): first multiple competing implementations (like gccrs) will emerge, and once the situation gets too messy, a proper specification followed by an ISO standard, and a committee to carefully refine and maintain the standard.
It still does not solve key distribution.

Matrix P2P removes the homeservers, but clients are still talking to each other through some medium that can impersonate them.

There's really no magic solution to solve this, you need either a trusted third-party (such as Certificate Authorities, who are expensive) or a Web of Trust (impractical for users).
How do you know if someone is unvaccinated? Don't worry, they'll tell you.

But seriously have you ever been to a hospital? Everything happens very slowly. When a patient is waiting around in the emergency room, there are many hours to make the decision where they're going next.

Also, are hospitals not still doing separate wards for Covid/not-Covid? A good first pass would be simply increasing the allocation for non-Covid.

Children will always think parents are mean, however you could preempt that by letting your childrens friends parents know that you are vetting games and give them suggestions for which games are safe to play.

That way, your child plays the games that are safe, your childrens friends parents don't have to do the work and nobody has to have FOMO.
He's doing far better than 99.9999% of what's on the web, social media and mainstream media. I'll give him a pass on that last sentence!
It works like this: if you end up in the hospital because of COVID, the odds are really, really overwhelmingly indicating you’re not vaccinated.

No need to check ID, reality will do the heavy lifting for you.
Thanks for sharing this Tom. Just shared it with my cofounder.
For me it looks very weird and defeats the whole purpose of Matrix. I mean: it was designed from the ground as a federated network, similar to E-mail. Turning it into a completely different topology will not end well. If they want a P2P client, they should design it from the scratch. Otherwise it'll end up as a bunch of hacks glued with tape.
U.S. Congress Hearing: “Disinformation Black Box: Researching Social Media Data”
Citizenship isn't a basic civil right. People who follow the law can get long term visas. And those who want to stay can go through the process of becoming citizens. Plenty do, without any heroism involved.

You don't get to show up and become a citizen just for the sake of existing.
No, you didn't make a mistake. The Lord's Prayer is Jesus' answer to the question "how do we pray?"

From my understanding and reading, the word's exact meaning seems somewhat ambiguous, but may be estimated from the context of the surrounding verses. So, I think the intent was partially conveyed, but without other primary sources it's difficult to have an absolute degree of precision.

This is why I think the argument you made is the most-likely-to-be-correct argument (contemporary use being influenced by the NT). It's also why I'm not sure there's any debate to be had here, nor why the question to you was raised. The Wikipedia article is quite clear that no other ancient texts from that time period contain the word.

So what do scholars do? The best they can!
The reason I mentioned carbon fiber wasn't specific to SpaceX but because it's a good example of something which had substantial up-front R&D costs which were largely paid by government investment to get it to the point where a company has a commercially-viable path to using it.

There are a ton of similar examples — microchips being the most common here — and the point wasn't that everyone should develop their stack from scratch but rather that the original claim that scientific and engineering progress depends on current US levels of inequality just doesn't fit the history. Most people who aren't committed to a particular political position tend to agree that you need both and in the U.S. we've certainly seen a lot of successes from the combined approach, as well as educational levels of inefficiency when the incentives are misaligned.
Ok, what would you suggest in it's place?
Absolutely, this can vary. IME at least in the old days, it did tend to be a single unit type (eg Red Alert Medium/Heavy tank rushes, or a well timed Zerg Rush) but it is by no means a hard and fast rule.
That is not even remotely the principle the Soviet Union ran on. Stop using the USSR to mean “thing I don’t like”.

I disagree.

Let's take your example of Mark Z.

What makes you think that this is unique case? What about people that suddenly come to fame, like viral video subjects?

A simple solution is to disallow logging in from new devices and the attempt being silently dropped so you are not bothered, unless you do some magic like generate one time key to complete the procedure on the new device.

I could think of a lot of people that would find it useful.

Or allow setting up 2FA token (other than mobile) correctly.

Instead what FB does is make it impossible to secure your account because they insist whatever you want you should always be able to recover your password with your phone number.

Years ago when I was still using it (I had reason) I tried to secure it with my Yubico. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible to configure FB to not allow you to log in on a new device without the key.

I understand how the discussion probably went: "Let's make it so that we can score some marketing points but let's not really make it requirement because we will be flooded with requests from people who do not understand they will never be able to log in if they loose the token."

But that's exactly what I want. I have a small fleet of these so it is not possible for me to loose them all but unfortunately most sites that purport to allowing 2FA can't do it well because they either don't allow configuring multiple tokens or if they do, they don't allow really lock your account so it is not possible to log in the next time without the token.
This is really upsetting. People literally tossing vaccine into the trash to claim they are vaccinated and can travel.

In Europe most passenger railway companies are nationalised (or at least heavily controlled by state owned entities), and rail transport in Europe is arguably much better than in the US.

Bad, but not as bad as mosquitoes. Ticks are much more of a problem now, as Lyme is a growing concern.
You’re thinking of HotOrNot. A “face book” has been a staple of US universities for decades to help new students identify each other. They were literally printed booklets with people’s faces in it.
I don't have to suggest anything in its place. I'm just relaying that I've actually interacted with it for years and have found it cumbersome, and I don't think it's fair to say that it's "worked" as if it hasn't made first-contributions significantly harder for a lot of people.

At this point I might suggest Gitlab, but I don't really feel like having a back and forth about what may or may not be ideal about that.
My biggest criticism is more that the widgets library really should already _be_ there, and ideally updated automatically, on a client's system.

Hello World (GUI) shouldn't be a 50MB deliverable. If I'm providing someone with a toaster I shouldn't have to ship a whole mobile home. Nor should that end user need to park 300 mobile homes on their hard disk.

The people who create those organizations do so with an expectation that they will earn a lot of money in the (not at all certain) case if they succeed and continue to own them until they sell their ownership to whomever they want at a time and a price they feel is right. It's not just a thing they would like to have, that expectation is the only reason for trying to launch such a company.

If there is a credible threat of nationalization (e.g. the government has nationalized similar organizations lately or even asserted that they are considering such things), then people who have the will, skill and capital to start financial services will rather do that elsewhere, where they have larger chances of a positive outcome for them. Safe and predictable legal environment - an expectation that your business won't be taken away from you - is a strong influence on the amount of investment and entrepreneurship a country gets; and more investment and entrepreneurship generally does result in more wealth for all of society even accounting for the share of the created wealth that's taken by the owners/investors.

As I said, if they didn’t have support from the US it would just be some other country. And if it weren’t the Sauds it would be some other totalitarian body.
They derive their power from their natural resources. If history is racist then perhaps we should abolish history books?
It's a common term in modern RTS, and it's got more meaning attached to it than simply "a large group". For example, in StarCraft 2, a full army of zerglings wouldn't be considered a "death ball" because it'd be so easily defeated with a few Colossus and high templars (units that deal a lot of splash damage, which zerglings are particularly susceptible to). A death ball is an army so powerful it's virtually unstoppable once it's formed. Players can try to achieve a death ball to gain a victory, but it's often expensive and leaves you vulnerable while you're building one. Also death balls are usually slow, and the opponent can use faster units to attack vulnerable parts of their base while the player building a death ball is out of position.
I agree that companies shouldn't be allowed to monopolize and rent seek, but I'm not sure nationalization is the answer. It isn't done because of the same reasons communism fails. Innovation halts, corruption creeps in, and it becomes bloated and worse for the end user than when it started.

Oh don't worry about that, Chinese banks have been making risk-free money for decades, propped up its stratospheric property bubble and almost exclusively lend to SOEs (these SOEs then mark up it and re-lend or bulk-buy condo towers, shadowbanking at its finest) and avoid the private sector, probably no banks elsewhere are more of a leech than them.

SOEs themselves are ruthless leeches.
F-Droid do the builds rather than Element (or other Matrix client vendors), so the whole thing is at the mercy of the F-Droid CI process. The Element Android build has entered the queue apparently, but not landed yet. We alerted the F-Droid team last week to prepare for the release, but beyond that there's not much we can do.
This is the problem - you are asking entities like Youtube to make decisions with significant business / cultural / governmental implications on the basis of very little information. Worse through the flag mechanism and "cancel culture" sometimes on the basis of of anonymous denunciations.

I am incredibly strongly in favor of vaccines. Suppressing rational discussion of if a third shot is needed or not is a bad mistake and makes partisans less like to be vaccinated. It only flames the point of view that anything that doesn't toe the line, or is flagged by ideological vigilantes will be supressed.

Plus this question has huge global ramifications - since a third booster shot would be using shots that could be deployed in Afria / Asia/etc.

Windows is still a terrible user experience, you never know when it's going to stop working for half an hour or longer in order to run an update.

Sometimes those updates cause printers or other peripherals to stop functioning. Sometimes they brick your computer.

Once you have a computer working properly, running MS-DOS, Windows, Linux, etc... for the most part it stays running, forever... unless you change something.

MS-DOS 6.21 with all the drivers, SideKick loaded as a TSR, and my 26th line clock program, with a 40 megabyte hard drive was a heck of a productive environment. The only thing that sucked was that we didn't have GIT, so you had to back up your source code to .zip files on floppy disks.

I had a 300 megabyte backpack hard drive to allow me to make backups of my system, and customers. Plug that drive into the parallel port (that all computers had back then), and a book floppy, and all my stuff was right there.
I'm trying to find the source data Apple uses for text replacements / suggestions.
AoE2 is usually a monoculture, due to the nature of its upgrade systems.

If your knights are +2 armor and +2 damage, you'll probably want a mono-culture of knights. Futhermore, a singular upgrade (aka: Cavalier research) immediately applies to all knights.

Your +2 armor / +2 damage Cavaliers are probably superior to your +0 / +0 archers from the Feudal age, even if those archers are theoretically useful against some units.

Strictly speaking: its not a monoculture: Scouts + Knights is the common combination for cavalry civs, because Knights lose vs Monks/Archers, while Scouts win vs Monks/Archers. Furthermore, Scouts share the +2 armor / +2 damage upgrade with Knights. But still, the upgrade system almost "forces" a monoculture (or close to a monoculture): its far more efficient to only research one or two units, rather than researching many, many different kinds of units.

This is not to downplay the serious and growing impact of China on global GHG emissions, just that casting coal as only a China problem is inaccurate and does not move us toward a solution.

This. Each org, team, and project has their own set of tenets. There are a few common sense tenets that are overarching (Security is priority 0), but there is no one set of 'AWS tenets.'

Tenets are used as quick statements to validate decisions. And the tenants are always up for debate and revision.

Using 'AWS tenets' isn't some nefarious way to control Rust. It's borrowing a useful (IMO) management/decision making structure to help guide decisions. Using 'AWS tenants' doesn't give AWS undue influence anymore than using the concept of Andon cords gives Toyota undue influence.
