Just FYI, this idea that the only impact of covid is deaths in people over 65 and obese people is simply bad reporting.

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#demographics

If you want to stick to deaths, we have by age

Under 5: 183

5-11: 119

12-15: 152

16-17: 125

That's a total of 579 deaths among kids 17 or less in spite of the fact that schools and most activities were closed. We don't know what the total death count would have been with everything open, but 579 child deaths used to be considered a lot, and it would have been a lot higher without the precautions that were taken.

Or there is the distinct possibility that this was a heavily-traversed border pre-Brexit and with Brexit it now requires a lot of border checks.
It's basically impossible to run out of space. You can always go on a hike someplace to get another palace or journey. You can also reuse palaces in different contexts or weathers. For example, imagine it's all underwater, or it's snowing. You can create imaginary palaces as you gain skill.

Quebec's app does the same thing, it has the public key builtin for validation. The only time the app can connect is to download an updated list of rules that determine if the enclosed information in the QR code related to vaccine status still protects the owner (and label them as adequately protected if they meet those criterias).

>So no, the UK joined the EU in 2009.

The "European Union" as an entity came into existence at the time of the Maastricht Treaty (aka Treaty on European Union), and the UK was a signatory to that treaty. That was in 1992.

Could you explain why you think 2009 is the relevant date?
Still, there are shortages. For example, my local supermarket has for a month or so had signs explaining that "Supply difficulties" may mean some items aren't in stock, e.g. most of the Italian ready meals section (I like Italian and I'm lazy) is replaced by an incongruous display of Italian wine, even though the wine section is actually on the far side of the store.

They are clearly struggling. And even if Brexit is only 10% of the problem, they run into the fact that it's key to central government policy to portray Brexit as successful, and so you mustn't mention that element.
This job just seems so alien to me. How do you get a job where major corporations just task you with things like “Come up with a new product for us. Something Irish themed. Alcoholic.“

How much do they pay for that?

That's a fair observation, and making freedom a right comes with a host of risk and peril. But isn't that where the criticality of learning from history comes into play? Furthermore, name one dictator or authoritarian regime whose rise to power wasn't predicated on the necessity of government intervention and rule to protect the people. Everyone from Nero to Boneparte to Hitler to Chavez all claimed the mantle of necessity and greater good, and look where they all led.

The back-and-forth balance between freedom and containment of bad ideas can be tricky, but if you think you'll solve the problem of future authoritarianism through present-day authoritarianism, I don't know what to say.
> was also something that could not be disagreed with.

At the time I recall significant disagreement on this point between politicians, the news media, the school boards in my area, and my neighbors. After much debate, our local public schools ultimately did decide to maintain full-in person school for as long as possible due in no small part to equity concerns. Everyone seemed uncertain about whether this was the right thing to do, and I don't recall anyone on either side insisting that disagreement was forbidden.
Am I the only one who sees it as a problem that US and European companies can't really work on China market, but they leave their markets wide open for Chinese companies?

Like, no company is allowed in US/Europe if it does not recognize Taiwan as an independent state? Isn't it how conforming to local rules and regulations should work?

There is no reliable scientific evidence of significant "long Covid" effects on many children. Even before the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, children were commonly infected by the other four endemic coronaviruses. A small minority experienced post viral syndrome but the vast majority made full recoveries.

Yes, it is, but we as a society attempt to limit its impact on children. The fact that there are alcohol and cigarette companies that do shitty things should not give facebook a free pass to do shitty things as well.

You should be careful about the assumption that you've got this stuff all worked out and that there's a clear set of tradeoffs. There's a strong case to be made against M4A that has nothing to do with "the minority trying to convince the majority to vote against their interests". That sentiment has a name: it's called "populism". It's the opposite of reasoned consideration of policy.

A local response from some child psychiatrists is that they're swamped by existing patients, as the pandemic changes have been very harsh on kids already having issues with e.g. self-harm or being shut-in so relapsing patients are returning and not leaving much space for new ones.
Why you should use feature flags in your front-end application
I deeply believe that non-age segregated or at least level segregated fails the other objective of schooling. That is education. Honestly the class room model with enough resources and giving separate access to those truly needing it might be best model.

Like, open offices increase efficiency too right? So why wouldn't they be perfect for education, let's say a few hundred kid in same space?
I've read about plenty of this, all of that is completely normal. Every election people will try to game the system. It happens. We deal with it on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes we do a better job than other times. It's not fundamentally different from any other social system.

>does not mean the issue has been decisively proven or disproven

Yeah you're technically right but the point is: that doesn't matter to the election. It's of historical interest only, you can't use it to try to prove that an election didn't happen the right way because our system doesn't work like that. Elections aren't decided based on an investigation that happened 60 years in the future, if that was the case then we could never have an election because we'd have to wait 60 years for the results.

my wife is a teacher, when her school closed some of her kids ended up in CPS and others simply vanished and haven't returned. Elementary schools in low income areas are basically social safety nets for kids. Now that her school re-opened a sizable portion of the student body is still missing.
Even with the recent rise in prices, energy prices are still way to low to actually influence choices most people make. Trains are still more expensive than car travel by car, flying is still cheaper than rail, I still don't know how much I pas to heat my house because it is negligible compared to what I spend on other things....

Energy is so important, yet so cheap. I still hear people flying in for a two hour business meeting, or commuting by car tens of kilometers. Only when that ceases to be economically viable we should call the price high. Until then, I'm happy it finally makes economical sense to reduce CO2 output.

When the lockdowns and the masking up in daycare started, I presumed this would be the case and took steps to ensure my 2.5 year old received sufficient social interaction. I took her out more, talked with her more, and attempted to find like minded parents.

As things opened back up the differences between kids of parents who did that and not is striking. My daughter is social and rarely shy, other kids we see seem so scared and withdrawn.

Sample size of one but I'm glad I did it.
> in a private company, they're the ones writing the checks

As long as they're being otherwise reasonable, I don't have a problem doing something that doesn't seem terribly "important" to me either. However, in my career I've had many frustrating instances where they were demanding something in a timeframe that I couldn't deliver it without ensuring that there wouldn't be any unintended side effects - and then blaming me for the side effects when they came up. I only push back when they don't realize how complex what they're asking for is. Of course, then they play the "tell me how long it's going to take so I can argue with you until you agree that it will take as long as I originally asked for" game.
> Nuclear is a great option

It's not, for a multitude of reasons:

- New ordinary reactor projects (EPR) are ridiculously overrunning timelines and budgets, they are putting Berlin's infamous BER airport to shame

- New revolutionary concepts (MSR) are at the moment vaporware, not to mention the unsolved proliferation issues

- Europe (unlike the US, Australia and Russia) doesn't have remote places to safely dump all the nuclear garbage

- Most of Africa and South America are politically too unstable to do anything involving nuclear. Last thing unstable narco countries or war zones need is to worry about terrorists snatching up nuclear material and building dirty bombs

- Most of the world's uranium production comes from dictatorships and has intense environmental concerns surrounding it, making it an ethically questionable fuel source

- Even our existing nuclear plants are plagued with mismanagement, cost-cutting and accidents (see e.g. the infamous Sellafield plant in UK), not to mention they are extremely old. Many have been placed in geologically questionable areas, further increasing the risk of a repeat of a Fukushima-style incident.

Yeah, I agree that a mixed model can possibly work, but I worry you'd be running into similar problems as those that came out during the pandemic.

I'm a big believer that meritocracy and an ethics of self-motivation can genuinely help disadvantaged but talented people, but that requires offering them a place where they can dedicate themselves to developing that talent. I worry that talented but poor people would actually those that get hit the most by mixed solutions like that.

> I agree with this for like 95-99% of people.

Honestly, K-12 education is completely useless for the top 5% in the first place. You simply can't design a system around those people.
The rest of Europe has mostly projected driver shortages, and no acute shortages of drivers, let alone goods.

So yes, while there is a wider issue, the wider issue is not the current problem or the high-order bit.

Note also that UGKOV plans to address the driver shortage by offering to ease restrictions on non UK-based (i.e. EU) drivers.

So yes, this is totally due to Brexit.

My sister is in the same boat with you,and she is raising a couple of Q soldiers for sure. You really can't teach your kids what they need to know, and also, kids need interaction with other kids to develop social skills, etc.
Our elites just love flying round on jets to African countries to help, if you run a foundation you’re seen as a good person. The defining musical event of the 80s that still has cultural continuity today was Live Aid.
Most cities have food banks and soup kitchens too.

> it fits their narrative around brexit

What narrative around Brexit? I see a lack of narrative around Brexit. We are always told about “supply chain issues” with barely any reflection on the cause.

Yes, other nations in Europe have supply chain issues, but they’re not seeing the problems we’re seeing in the uk.

This is a Brexit issue, but no major media outfit seems to be holding the government (who are the architects of the exit and the deal) accountable. Especially the serial liar at the top.
Most probably they'd use 0 cloud native services and everything run as a custom stack in bounce of compute instances with auto scaling and load balancer in front (or maybe K8, I'm oversimplifing)

Honestly, it shows that perhaps they can migrate the stack easily everywhere else (and indeed they did in the west).
There are hundreds of thousands of people in the UK with HGV licenses but only half of them driving.

This problem has been brewing for decades as the jobs have been outsourced to low cost countries and the drivers mercilessly exploited. Now that some economies have improved and COVID has hit a lot of those drivers are either unavailable or simply unwilling to travel so far and so long in horrible working conditions for so little reward.

Society needs to recalibrate the value of workers who do manual work. There really is no good reason why the average software developer should be paid more than an HGV driver while enjoying much better working conditions.

> "Cybernetics" as a descriptor went out of style by the 2000's I think.

A bit off topic, but in the ‘science of automatic control systems’ sense -- one could argue today it could be pronounced ‘kubernetes’.

But imagine the consternation when we first collectively realized k8s had no cybernetics, no auto-governance (another related word*) of tech running on it. This is why a few of us met with CoreOS in the mid-2010s to talk about the idea that would turn into Operators: put the cybernetics back in kubernetes.

Disappointed even today that so much mindshare and effort is around standing up and running k8s itself, or ‘declaring’ what runs in it (tbc, this part is good), and much less on ‘Operators’ so k8s could run your SaaS for you (which would be better).

The original public introduction of the concept:

- Brandon Philips @ CoreOS, Nov 2016: https://web.archive.org/web/20170129131616/http://coreos.com...

A more recent take:

- RedHat, 2020: https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/kubernetes-operators

* Note: “The word ‘governance’ came from the Latin verb ‘gubernare’, or more originally from the Greek word ‘kubernaein’, which means ‘to steer’. Basing on its etymology, governance refers to the manner of steering or governing, or of directing and controlling.”

If you've visited large cities and only found mega-corp food chains and no local quality foods, that's 100% for lack of trying.
That makes sense - I didn't consider that you may want to change the code yourself.
I was referring to the broader topic of lockdowns in general, but at least where I was, it was the narrative that "selfish" parents who "didn't want to look after their own kids" wanted to keep the schools open, and therefore risking the very lives of the teachers.
Well, aren't we all in the West (if I may assume where you live) guilty of that? 55 inch TVs are $500 nowadays, mangoes flown from South America are less than $2 in my local supermarket, we like to fly to Thailand because vacationing is "dirt cheap" there...

See many comments suggesting irreversible fat-finger transactions are why Ethereum is flawed by design. I would argue immutability is not something inherently flawed - rather, the design of the client software should take more responsibility for warning of a situation like this. And to an extent, if you're using a platform that's immutable by design you ultimately have some responsibility as a user that can never be done away with. Clients can warn of potentially erroneous transactions all day, but ultimately, an "erroneous transaction" is not something that can be precisely defined. Don't dismiss verification dialogs just because they're exceedingly common.
