Politely disagree. I ride a bicycle as a means of transportation around Seattle and the exhaust from vehicles is so unpleasant that it makes me consider either not going out, or also driving a vehicle instead to get around.

Further, it's just unpleasant to be trying to enjoy a walk around the city; or being anywhere near a road and then having the jarring experience of being surrounded by a plume of fumes. They stink & they're terribly unhealthy to inhale. And even when you're not noticing them acutely, they're probably wading into your lungs at some degree as long as you're within X distance from a road. I think cities would be much more pleasant without them.
But if that's the case couldn't there just be a library that provides all the functionality without having to switch languages? Something like boost but for plain C?

Ask HN: Is there a search engine that performs “Exact Search”?
Google tries to figure out what you might mean and then return appropriate results, but sometimes I want an exact search. Even putting quotation marks around the phrase doesn't work reliably.

The same is largely true of DDG as well.

So ... what do you use when you want to do an "exact search" on the web?

Edit: In reply to a couple of comments ... I don't have a recent example to hand, and recent attempts have failed to reproduce the exact behaviour. Also, of course, Google tries to customise search results, so my example of a screw-up might behave perfectly for you. But I will keep trying to get an reproducable example, and would welcome examples from anyone else.

Edit 2: Example: I have open in another tab a specific web page, and from it I have copy/pasted "So a germ of an idea is enough" into Google, which fails to find it. Another phrase from that page is found, so the page has been indexed. Indeed, if I use the "site:" qualifier, it does find the reference. This is not exactly the behaviour I recently saw and was asking about, but it's close enough to be of interest.

>What does encryption have anything to do with vaccination and vaccination passports?

In the previous comment you basically made the argument that the measures are justified because they're not "interventions against social freedoms, rather an intervention to prevent a public service from being DDoSed". I just took that argument to its logical conclusion. Law enforcement resources are stretched pretty thin, right? Why not give them a helping hand as well by allowing them to eavesdrop on everyone's communications? After all, it's not an intervention to decrease public privacy, it's an intervention to prevent law enforcement resources from being DDoSed.
This might be a hard sell. ICE lawn equipment might be slightly heavier, but it also performs much better in my experience.

> What's clear is that COVID-19 isn't going away any time soon.

This isn’t new information. It was obvious all the way back in March of 2020 that covid was here forever.

Life must go on. We cannot live with this myopic fixation on exactly one specific form of illnesses. These “experts” have already asked enough out if people. We’ve been asked to put our lives on hold for more than 1.7 years now.

Dragging any of this on after the first vaccines came out was unethical as hell. Vaccines were it. There is nothing else we can do besides attempt to build some myopic hellscape where our entire existence is centered around stopping the spread of covid.
My friend living in Denmark, with a driver’s license from a corrupt country where literally anyone can get it, would render your whole 3-months intensive system useless. He is in fact driving, and could cause quite a crash, with all this amazing procedure you describe.

We are a somewhat globalized civilization and the same as this security theatre about keeping airports open with countries with 2% vaccination rate can be said about driving.
Did you read the papers? Specifically what do you find suspect in them?
I think deaths are counted differently, though - everybody who dies within one month after testing positive is counted for Covid (afaik - at least in some places). For vaccines, I am not aware of such rules. So the numbers can not easily be compared. That is the problem.

As I said, I am ready to believe that Covid kills more. But what if you factor in the odds of infection, and also individual odds (age, no co-morbidities, that sort of thing)? The odds are very different for somebody in their twenties and somebody in their eighties.

"Closely Monitored" - OK so where exactly is the data? "Closely Monitored" is just a call to "trust the institutions".
> but they are facing a lot of very real problems, for example, lack of maintenance infrastructure.

Comprehensive government regulation would create such an infrastructure. When the government says "in 5 years we will disallow creation of new airframes that use leaded gas, and in 10 years there will be no more leaded gas sold, and in 15 years additives will be illegal", everyone knows what's on the horizon - and you can bet that there will be engine vendors selling modification kits and maintenance infrastructure, since now everyone knows that there will be a massive market coming up as everyone has to adapt to the new rules if they want to keep flying!
I’m from europe and i have no idea what a leaf blower is. Our family didn’t have one nor did any family I know of. My family always had a garden with trees, and it was often my chore as a kid to rake the leaves together. Is the leaf blower an alternative to that?

Just asking because I want to understand how prevealent this form of polution is where you live.
To be honest, even if that was official policy, I would totally tick that box. You're much better off avoiding the kind of extreme intervention to prolong life that makes scrapping your corpse for parts seem like a good idea to a doctor.

Not really. People consume what is produced. You can see this bias in news and print media and its effect on propaganda, but it really applies to all items produced. It's a popular retort to "just don't buy Apple" in the tech lockdown debates that crop up.

>(and in general the low population density)

The low population density is arguably caused by the bad planning.

>make it a place ill-suited to public transportation.

I'm quite convinced that you will not be able to drive yourselves out of the issue you have in the U.S - you'll need to retrofit what you have to make it amenable to proper public transportation. EVs help a bit, but only really with the carbon dioxide-issue - everything else bad about cars is still bad with EVs.
It's (fake?) rage not hate.

4) Have your team read and learn some basic UX concepts, take a stab at an initial UX then have feedback sessions with your pilot users.

The thing is - UX can make or break an app. It really does matter. But you can end up wasting a freakton of time trying to get it perfect on day one. I've literally seen designers take front-end teams down 1-2 year rabbithole trying to get it perfect before launch. And I've seen managers eat it up, thinking that if they just have the right UX, the market will flock to them. But no - it doesn't work like that.

You are looking for "Good enough." at this point. To get there, give pilot users something to complain about - let them tell you what they need. Let them show you where it feels painful. And listen to them. Then fix it. Truth be told, that is exactly what most designers will do anyway. The trick is to find the users who are good pilot users - ones who will talk to you instead of walking away. Not only will they guide you to the right answers as well as many designers, they'll feel personally invested in the process and help find more people to work with.
> the IRA were mostly interested in harming property rather than people unlike today’s attackers

I think this is an exaggeration. Some IRA bombs damaged only/mainly property but the IRA also killed hundreds of people and not by accident.

I don't really agree that IRA attacks were ended by a negotiated settlement (GFA) either. That's a bit like saying that the the USSR dissolved because the Berlin wall came down.

In that specific case there was already an exception for "reader apps" where the user was already subscribed elsewhere and is merely using the app to access content they've previously purchased.

Where I suspect this would apply is apps like Fortnite, where if you were previously selling V-bucks directly via IAP, then popping up a web view to process the payment and returning you to the app to claim your V-bucks might not actually be the loophole people seem to think it is.
> For some reason very few people seem to be aware of this advice, and all the scientific evidence supporting it (in the context of SARS-CoV-2 and in general).

It’s because most of it is not backed by scientific evidence, there aren’t proved to be any general “antiviral” drugs you can effectively take to fight colds or other viruses. Tamiflu does exist for flu and maybe takes a day off your disease course, but even that is disputed. Zinc has as many negative studies as positive, high doses of vitamin C (e.g. “Emergen-C”) have flamed out in trials in the past. Some of them may have a small effect but don’t think it’s going to be a game changer in the fight against COVID-19. Only monoclonal antibodies and the vaccine are.

Suggesting there is some uncertainty involved.

> The most notable facet of a controlled demolition is the sheer sound of the charges going off to initiate the collapse.

If one uses the traditional loud approach, agreed.

> I've had the pleasure of being able to view a controlled demolition live, and I can tell you that the sound is loud enough and distinctive enough that all of the rescuers working on the debris pile that was the twin towers would have been reporting the explosions.

Certainly seems plausible.

To be fair to the GP, this isn't the point they're making. Your argument would be valid if they were positing "it's not like it's me who's going to die."

They're asking, in good faith, if the effects of pollution-related deaths would have a net benefit to the world due to overpopulation concerns.

Your response is a strawman.
This is a very flat UI. I ran usability tests in the past with enterprise software that followed Windows inspired flat design. Guess what the users could not manage? The flat design, as it destroys easy discoverability of what can be clicked on and what can not. This weighed as heavy on the usability of the software as other UI mistakes and usually compounded them - as in, a difficult screen, difficult because it had a wrong interaction flow, got completely unusable for users because a button did not look like a button.

Flat design got so thoroughly critized in the last decade, that people still jump on that bandwagon now that it's on its way out is astonishing. Leave it to Gnome to proudly announce flat design - worse-than-metro flat design, flat design without colors and backgrounds - for 2022. Unbelievable.

I think this is incomplete. In every case so far a reduction of infant mortality and improved quality of life are coupled with power structures that increase the amount of productive output that is captured by a family, increasing the relative cost of producing children.

US cities I've been to:

East Coast city 1: no light rail, buses come every 45min

East Coast city 2: no light rail, buses come every 30-45min, but at least they were free

West Coast city 1: no light rail, buses come every 45min and cost $$$ if you want to take an express route

SF Bay Area: BART is a disaster, CalTrain only works well during peak hours and only if you live in the Peninsula. I literally watched a group of 2 teenagers hop the fare gates, get on, then get off the station before the fare checkers got on. Every station smells like piss and most of the ones in SF proper have shit in them too. BART East Bay -> Fremont/SJ is easily a 2 hour ride because the train moves at sub-30mph in residential areas.

Chicago: Trains still move pretty slowly but don't have piss and shit all over them at least. From what I can tell, buses are also not viable for reasonable transportation.
Boston: Decent trains in most of the downtown/Cambridge area, but suburbs were pretty much a non-starter.

In comparison:

Shanghai/Beijing: security checkpoints at subway entrances, getting on/off trains is orderly and trains are clean. Trains run fast because authorities don't care about making too much noise, so you aren't better off driving because the train was running at 25mph. Trains come every 5mins or more often. You can get across the city in under an hour.

For the US cities that had light rail, the issues were clearly not due to lack of funding but due to NIMBYism limiting speeds and a refusal to enforce any level of security (in the case of SF). I bet you can get BART to come every 5 mins instead of every 20mins with the same number of trains if you 4x'd the speed to 80-100 mph. BART already does over that speed in long stretches like the Bay tunnel or the long stretches in Fremont so it's not like this requires any sort of re-engineering.
Of course they say that they believe it's murder, but do their actions line up with that? Generally, no.

No, this is too generic - name the correct groups: Conservatives, neo-liberals and the rich elites hate see "the government" or government-owned/ran entities make money.

Everyone else sees that government-run services usually provide decent service at affordable prices, and that after privatization, service quality goes downhill and the cost keeps rising.

I know one person who died from Covid, but he was a very unlikely case (in his thirties, and there were so far only 255 deaths in his age group in my country of 80 million people - he also was a news story), one who was hospitalized but seems to be fine now, and one who had a thrombosis from the vaccination (not life threatening it seems).

Another person I know was close to checking into the hospital for fear of heart issues after the vaccination. But it seems to have passed - except a few weeks later he now has a pacemaker, but officially not related to the vaccination (I don't know, not saying it is).

I have no doubt that for certain people the vaccine is better. But why do the stories never account for individual risk, dependent on age and co-morbidities?

Edit: changed 171 to 255, as 171 was just the male deaths in his age group. 255 is men+women.
