I was enrolled in the 1960's in an antiquated system called "Cour Classique" in French. We had a strict curriculum, designed to produce priests, doctors, lawyers and notaries. The system spanned eight years, high school and college. We were given no options until the last two years. I got my B.A. at 19, and promptly joined the Canadian Peace Corps (CUSO), learned Spanish in two months, and taught physics (in Spanish) in South America.
You can do that, but you need to implement your own stacked states and call the function with recursive GOSUBs.

The pandemic is largely over culturally and mentally for pretty much all of the country - I'm in the middle of San Francisco and the only real remaining enforced anti-COVID measures are flashing your vaccine card before going into bars, masks inside of gyms, and masking and demasking when you enter restaurants - although I remember a friend with kids telling me there's still some strangeness at schools.

Expecting draconian regulations on social media to work is a recipe for failure. How many billions wasted on the war on drugs? People are always going to want to view extremist content, see beautiful people that cause body image issues, etc.

One might argue that there is also fairly little downside to not getting the vaccination.

And without some hard numbers comparing the two fairly little downsides we shouldn't attempt to compel people's behavior either way.

No, this is just not correct. Compulsory vaccination has been a thing for hundreds of years.

> The host system and isolated environments will all be managed declaratively and reproducibly using Nix, a purely functional package manager

Nix seems cool, but all of my forays into it have been so unpleasant as to be unworkable. It seems to work well enough if all of your dependencies are already in the Nix store and have been thoroughly tested, but as soon as one has to start writing Nix packages themselves it's a train wreck: the peculiarities of the Nix expression language, the chaos and lack of documentation in nixpkgs, the immense understanding one must have of the common low-level libraries used to create Nix packages, and you'll still spend tons of time trying to package obscure C dependencies with their own bespoke build systems.

My constructive feedback is:

1. Add types to the Nix expression language so someone digging through the code can have some idea about what needs to be passed into various functions. This would probably help people traverse nixpkgs as well, since the client code will need to "import" the types of its arguments.

2. Make Nix more syntactically familiar. Familiarity here seems like it should be more important than innovating on programming language syntax. Thanks for not going full-Haskell on us, but it would be nice if looked more like JavaScript or Python or something that virtually any programmer could look at and recognize (I'm no great fan of either of those languages).

3. Very controversial, but the whole industry needs to minimize the number of C and C++ dependencies. Not only are these languages fundamentally insecure, but projects in these languages have their own bespoke build systems which assume dependencies are already installed at the correct versions and in the correct paths. Packaging these projects is painful, and it's largely the reason we have package maintainers who specialize not in building programs of a certain language, but in building certain dependencies.
Regardless of the moral issue, due to EMTALA hospitals are legally required to care for unstable patients regardless of whether they made unhealthy choices. Changing that would require an Act of Congress.
Yeah, I'm really optimistic about the labor market now

This is the first time I've ever seen restaurant workers, delivery drivers, etc taking charge of their own careers the same way Silicon Valley tech workers do.

All of our laws and safety nets are designed around the idea that people will act in their own rational self-interest and hop jobs when it suits them, but I never saw that actually happening until this last year.
This is pretty cool. Any plans on releasing some form of wrapper or SDK for this? I have something similar in node that's a pain to maintain. I think this could replace it very nicely.
Compile-time checks definitely can't guarantee anything. You could still end up with null pointers from, for example, a library like gson using reflection to set fields. If you add "non-null" to the type descriptors inside class files (something like Kjava/lang/Object; instead of the usual Ljava/lang/Object;) and have the JVM enforce non-null-ness at runtime, you'll still have crashes caused by null pointers but earlier. Oh and you'll have to make an exception to allow these to be null during a constructor or static initializer invocation so it could actually initialize everything. It gets messy.

IIRC that proposition for value types makes them more akin to structs, without inheritance and dynamic methods. And I don't remember whether the fields are final, but given the current trend towards making everything as immutable as possible, they probably are.
> The downstream impact to disease and transmission risk, definitely not.

In what way?
From family experience: Covid can definitely hit kids much harder than the common cold and they can transmit to vaccinated parents.
Supply constraints (not anything 'safety' related) were the original driving factor for slower 2nd doses elsewhere - but it was already confidently conjectured by domain experts that a longer spacing would likely be more effective. It's even taught in vaccination textbooks, pre-COVID, that a delay of at least 2 months is usually necessary to train the strongest/longest immune response.

(Much like 'spaced repetition' to consciously memorize facts, an immune-response is more-reinforced if a separate presentation happens at a distinctly-different time, when forgetting has begun but is reversible.)

Thus, those countries that trusted the pre-COVID science – like the UK or Canada – delayed 2nd shots for 8 weeks or more - giving more of their population the all-important 1st-dose sooner, & closely monitoring the effects on community cases.

In the meantime, Fauci did interviews insisting the 3/4 week rapid boosting was "optimal". (That was overconfident bluster unsupported by the rushed & limited trial data, which other more honest scientists pointed out.)

Surprise! With data, the textbooks were right. 8 week or longer delays generate immune responses that are stronger & last longer. In the UK, now without such tight supply constraints, it's considered dangerously negligent to not warn patients they should wait at least 8 weeks for the 2nd shot:

https://inews.co.uk/news/uk/covid-vaccine-second-jab-early-e...

In the US, disease experts like Eric Topol & Monica Gandhi now suggest some of the 'fading' immunity showing up in Israeli & US studies, especially with Pfizer, is due to the rushed 3-week booster.

Our flailing CDC still insists, today in their vaccination FAQ, contra the science & the interests of Americans, that "you should get your second shot as close to the [21d or 28d] interval as possible". They're also still urging people not to use N95-quality masks, even though they are now cheap & plentiful and likely 2x-4x more effective than cloth or surgical masks.

The failure to recognize that prior infections are as protective as vaccinations is another error that's wasting vaccine & creating arguments that we could just... skip & do better for everyone.

Thus: "Our local scientific bureaucracy is killing us & generating unnecessary extra social conflict, with their unscientific inflexibility."

I was tested 2 weeks ago for antibodies after receiving the vaccine. My results were "0." And yet I experienced all the typical side effects from the vaccine, indicating that I probably had an immune response to it.

Nobody knows what any particular antibody count means with respect to risk to your health from a future COVID infection. Instead, we need to be looking at the hard statistics about who's getting admitted into hospitals and who's dying.
More than you can store.

And possibly it's live data.
This does not consider that the job market is actually asymmetric. Unfortunately employers hold the cards when it comes to wages.
IMO the issue is children & schools are the perfect combination for the spread of illnesses. While no one wants to make definitive statements on how much the vaccine reduces the duration & level of contagiousness -> it is almost certainly not 0%.

I think as long as the vaccine is an option for all/most ages then it isn't much of an issue. Although it would be interesting if we allowed kids to get the vaccine at school - possibly without parental permission. (Sort of a tricky area... I think some places provide the HPV vaccine like this since some parents won't let their kids get it.)

From the article’s conclusion:

You can crash your car even while sober. And you can arrive home safely even while drunk. You don't have "complete control" over whether you crash. But the responsible thing to do is exercise what control you do have. Yes you could catch and spread the virus even after vaccinated but it is still irresponsible to disregard this and risk the lives and livelihoods of others. It is a trivial request and the consequences of spreading the virus are non-trivial.
Same here - I absolutely don't understand how major manufacturers can completely ignore this market niche.

With all existing Android users, even if just 0.1% would like to have a keyboard you would still have a business ( https://www.businessofapps.com/data/android-statistics/ - assuming that only half of those 2.8 billion android users use a mobile phone and not a tablet or something else, that would still give you a market of 140M potential customers?)

Maybe it's about patents (keyboard tech)? And/or maybe Android users are really stingy (I would pay +50$ for an integrated keyboard, maybe most would not)?

So it's about tracking people so the government can more easily keep the public safe. Let's give them all the power in the world to keep us safer!

We should be demanding OPTIONS. Even from a pragmatic standpoint, this would convince more people. When they mandate only one thing, it's as if they are pushing towards a dictatorship just for our own safety. How convenient.

I'm sorry, but people are a bit too eager to go there just because of fear. We were in this situation with the Patriot Act and the non-existent weapons of mass destruction. Governments have a track record of doing this!
"1/3 to 1/4 is [...] how much more", as is, is ambiguous: on some cultures, "how much more" may depend on the local field of reference (1/3), and on others on the global one (1)
But it was rolled out to those at highest risk first no? It wasn't until many months later my wife (who wasn't employed in healthcare at the time and is relatively young) was able to get scheduled. By that point it had become clear the at risk population hadn't had an opposite effect than intended.

They might have some sort of immigration quotas for the Earth, and if the population is approximately what it is now, then there's going to be a lot of open space, farmland, and wilderness still. That's assuming you have cities with a lot of people packed close together, and rural areas with sparse population. That seems much better than the alternative of turning the entire land-surface of the Earth into a uniform-density suburb.

You think not mocking people when they die will increase vaccination rates? I honestly don't really know, but I'm skeptical.

Adding social pressure to vaccinate is useful I think tho. We will see what happens with these new mandates.
Yeah, me too, not my point.

Imagine half the uk population wanted to get tested before getting the vaccine, the cost for the NIH would be way higher than just vaccinating everybody. You can't tell people `if the antibody test is positive, you don't have to get vaccinated`, at least not until the vast majority is already vaccinated. And even then, it's mostly lost money.

You could have told people "pay for your own test", but in this case, the fabrication and distribution of those test would slow down the vaccination. And you have to make sure that the test are not faked, so a doctor should verify that the test was yours. I know some doctors who faked smallpox vaccine, so you can imagine how much of a good idea this is.

Also, even if the individual cost is not that high, telling people to `pay not to get vaccinated` (because it would've been spin like this, I've read UK newspapers) is not the best idea want the biggest issues for most western government is lack of trust.

So: it is more pragmatic to jab everybody. Easier to orchestrate, you don't expose your leadership too much. Overall, best solution for the governments. Is it the best solution for the population? Debatable. I'd say its the most cost-effective, the one with the less headaches, so yes?
Nuance of the English language, but, "If you were British, you would know where York is", suggests I'm not British, and implies I don't know where York is.

That specific form of the sentence has negative connotations and might be considered divisive in (British) English.

It's essentially a challenge to my honesty, and had you said "if you are" rather than "if you were" it'd be a more amiable challenge, implying I should respond with proof that I know where York is, and not suggest I'm being dishonest.

As I said, it's divisive, but to some may be considered offensive too.

Just one word makes all of the difference.

If you want to suggest I would know where York is by virtue of being British, you might say;

"You will know where York is, because you're British" or "You must know where York is, you're British".
> It's even easier to fake vaccination status. Blank COVID cards are widely available. Most of them are handwritten - and even when vaccinated, they give them to you blank, you fill in your own name at home.

That's absolutely true, because the government response has been disorganized and bullshit. It's also why vax passes won't work; because the records are probably trash.

> No, Americans are not bad at that - rather they don't want that. Don't confuse the two.

No, we're really shit at it. Everybody who has been vaccinated would love for the government to have kept track of it, and would love to be able to ask for or give an easy proof of it. In my personal experience, the unvaccinated are also liars. They would, of course, not want it to be tracked, because they would like to continue to lie.
That makes absolutely no sense, why would the same penalties not apply for lying about natural immunity?
Drinking and driving is banned because it increases the probability of causing harm yourself and others.
Exactly. Transistors were invented in 1947, Engelbart presented on downscaling ICs to an audience including Moore in 1960, and he observed his law in 1965.

It's mostly held, transistors have incrementally increased as predicted over 50 years ago. This is consistent with Stephenson's observation that there's been no meaningful innovation since the late '60s.

That doesn't strike me as particularly dumb. It's pretty easy to print out a fake driver's license (or use someone else's) that's going to work fine getting into most bars, and the risks of getting into legal trouble for attempting to use a fake ID to buy alcohol are probably pretty similar to the risks of using a fake vaccine card, and yet most people don't argue that that system is a dumb way to enforce the drinking age (ignoring whether the drinking age itself is a reasonable policy).
A theory of everything needs to account for everything. This article doesn't even demonstrate that a housing shortage exists, and it completely ignores the unfavorable demographics of the aging boomers and lack of replacement demand.

High prices are not by themselves evidence of a shortage. High prices can, for example, be caused by ultra-loose monetary policies that encourage housing market speculators to soak up supply. This condition can readily unwind, although few prior to 2009 would have considered the possibility.
Not sure what you mean, if the test determines I have immunity similar to what a vaccine provides and knowing that I choose not to get it, what are the downstream impacts?

The only surprise is that it took so long, in fact I'd argue Intel isn't doing it enough. Intel is losing marketshare and has some power hungry chips, however financially it's doing well. It makes a lot of sense to compensate via price.

As I keep saying, Intel is very far from dead. A company does not need to have the topmost performing chips to do well, not anymore than AMD/TSMC needed to in the past. Especially not in this seller's chip market.

It just means Intel needs to invest more for some more time and will lose some marketshare. If in 3-5 years Intel will not have improved its processors in a nonmarginal way then they'll be in trouble.
From your link, wouldn't: "the multiplier being the maximum amount of commercial bank money created by a given unit of central bank money" be interpreted to mean that as soon as central bank monetizes it's debt, i.e. the money is initially created, it inherently is equal to a certain amount of commercial bank money, as long as it doesn't remain unlent? So it's not really the new creation of money, but rather the realization of it's value, upon being lent by a bank?
