Actually Ampie used to work differently: Ampie would store the local cache of links from your twitter feed and links submitted to HN, and check against it when you went to any web page. If there were hits, it would show a small tab in the bottom right corner, showing that there are N tweets, M HN submissions with this page. Then you could click on the tab and the sidebar would pop up, so no requests were sent until you actually clicked on the tab.

There are two problems with this: first, the cache had to be large, several hundreds of megabytes, because there are a lot of links (~200k from HN, and each person I follow on average tweeted 1k links among the last 3k tweets that twitter lets me access) and indexeddb is not memory-efficient. Second, this is easy to miss, and those numbers alone don't give enough information to go through the effort of clicking there every time. And this doesn't include the backlinks and HN comments mentions (fun fact: there are about 4m URLs mentioned in HN comments), so you'd miss out on a lot of stuff. You could suggest Bloom filters as caches, but that is a bad solution since now you only can show if there is a hit or not (instead of two numbers), but also there are false positives so the sidebar is not reliable anymore, and given that you go to hundreds of URLs a day, the FP rate has to be really low which makes the cache really large. Maybe using something like https://jlongster.com/future-sql-web would have reduced the memory usage, but at that point I gave up on that approach already.

Given how technically hard it was to maintain those caches of links (they had to be updated incrementally, for example, not to send hundreds of MB every time they were recomputed, you had to wait to download the cache after installing ampie), the fact that most of the friends I have talked to didn't mind if the request was sent on every URL visit (as long as I promised not to save it), and the fact that this made the sidebar less fun, I decided to remove those caches and just send the URL to the server on every visit.

So yes, every URL you go to is sent to the ampie server, but I do not save the URLs sent to the server, and if ampie is disabled on a domain (you can disable it on a domain in the settings), it will not request information about pages on that domain at all.

Surely it is tribalism, but are you now giving a demonstration?

I have seen Trump boast about vaccines, in his usual distasteful way. I have seen him recommend vaccines. I have not seen him disparage or discourage vaccinations (though he's been extremely clumsy, as he was with everything).

It seemed to me that originally, when Trump boasted about the vaccines, his political opponents (the Democrats in US, and others elsewhere) were the ones who were sceptical about vaccine development - simply because of this tribalism.

(Note: I'm not American, not in either tribe.)
You're right. I read 2008 in the post and thought the writer was talking about a time shortly after then. By the late 2010s linters were prevalent.
Lattice C was where I got started with C, also. (On an Amiga, though.) 30 years later, most of that knowledge is still useful.
No great loss at all. An even better result would be if CNN no longer published content anywhere.

There was a secret (illegal) anti-poaching deal. The firing was in line with that. If you didn't then there's no deal.
"Look at the most recent issue of vaccine boosters. The FDA panel of experts (whom we're supposed to trust now, right?) said boosters are not necessary [for the general public (https://qz.com/2061783/why-the-fda-panel-says-most-americans...)]. CDC comes in and says the [boosters are available for some groups (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-s...) based on the recommendations of the FDA panel]."

The problem with getting your science news from FB memes is that some nuance tends to get lost.

"Studies show that after getting vaccinated against COVID-19, protection against the virus may decrease over time and be less able to protect against the Delta variant. Although COVID-19 vaccination for adults aged 65 years and older remains effective in preventing severe disease, recent data pdf icon[4.7 MB, 88 pages] suggest vaccination is less effective at preventing infection or milder illness with symptoms. Emerging evidence also shows that among healthcare and other frontline workers, vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19 infections is decreasing over time. This lower effectiveness is likely due to the combination of decreasing protection as time passes since getting vaccinated (e.g., waning immunity) as well as the greater infectiousness of the Delta variant.

"Data from a small clinical trial show that a Pfizer-BioNTech booster shot increased the immune response in trial participants who finished their primary series 6 months earlier. With an increased immune response, people should have improved protection against COVID-19, including the Delta variant."

No, Facebook did, by just refusing to take part in the cartel. You only need one company to start bidding up salaries for the category of employee they want to move the market if they have a big enough budget. The DOJ didn't even push for a reasonable fine, one measured in years of revenue, or reasonable punishment, like jailtime for executives and HR staff who were in on the conspiracy.

So you think it's a problem that people want to see an actual explanation, rather than just hearing authority figures say "don't worry your little head, we'll make the decisions for you"?

Every day we hear the mantra, "follow the science!". Here are people striving to do exactly that, and they're being criticized for it. Saying that they're not trying hard enough if they're not finding the answers they seek when it's framed the way you say it must be presented is not a recipe for helping such people overcome their objections.

I’m not entirely sure what your point is here. Clearly an sophisticated electronic devices full of sensors and radios can be used to track you, I don’t think anyone on HN disputes that. But that issues seems rather orthogonal to topic at hand.
> These are bad examples because you are explicitly paying for these items as opposed to clickbait / attention grabbing content which gets more viewership the more controversial it is (which has been proven by various studies).

This seems the same to me.

A book with a flashy cover or title is more likely to be purchased because it's attention grabbing. Action movies have trailers with explosions and one-liner quips because they're attention grabbing. Cereal boxes say "new and improved!" because it's attention grabbing. Magazines and cable news ask "Does Jell-o cause cancer?" because it's attention grabbing.

Controversial content gets more clicks because it's attention grabbing, so I would absolutely expect that to be more enticing than the same information packaged less flamboyantly (just like I'd expect more attention-grabbing books, movies, cereal, and magazines to perform better as well.)
Yeah, this is really fun. Thank you

Yeah I'm baffled by all of the comments saying that this is great as an anti-theft feature. I don't know where people live that that's the case, but I sure as heck have never known police in the US to give a damn about $1000 property crimes. They don't care about $20000 home robberies and car thefts, even with strong video or other evidence. I can't imagine they're going to start chasing down criminals to get a used phone back unless it's for the mayor's kid or something.

97% is actually a really good delivery rate. From my experience working on several push-based products, ~80% is the industry standard.
I'd actually say critical thinking has seen considerable improvement in the past few years. For one thing people no longer unconditionally trust the press and government institutions like they used to in, say '00s, and instead see them for what they are - a little more than Pravda and Politburo. Wars are also a lot less feasible now (thanks, ironically, to the cancer that is social media) than they used to be - people will bypass the media and shit all over the military industrial complex saber rattling. The establishment's control over narratives is at historic lows - that's why you're seeing increasing censorship - "consent of the governed" is getting a lot harder to manufacture. I'm pretty sure NYT would not be able to sell Iraq war to the public in 2021. I like that. I wish there was a less society-damaging way to achieve the same effect, but there doesn't seem to be one.

No, it does not. It only prevents serious cases.

If vaccinations encourage new variants is a total different question. It is very possible. Evolutionary pressure is a bitch.

I would be completely shocked if your "personal risk assessment" is accurate. There is no clear indications on which folks will get long COVID, "age, health status, lifestyle, and so on" are generalizations not absolutes. Your chance of dying of COVID, regardless of your health status, is much greater than the chance of experiencing serious side effects in what is probably one of the most widely distributed vaccines in history.

"Feelings" have no place in science. These are numbers not subjective anecdotes, which appear to be what you're basing your decision on. Say what you like, the data doesn't lie, only people do.
You're right. I think there's several regulators on it, but no one has forced them to rephrase the statement.

Well, see, universal vaccination I would say is sufficient to achieve this goal but not required. I wonder if it would be better to focus on vaccination coverage in hotspots where we do have issues with hospitalizations.

What triggered me to wrote this is articles like this one [0] that, in my opinion, don't do anything to convince anybody to get vaccinated. All they do is shame people or groups of people. And what's missing from this article? While it talks about case numbers

> Manitoba's Southern Health region, which encompasses the RM of Stanley, made up roughly half of the province's new COVID-19 cases in recent weeks, but is only home to around 15 per cent of the population.

it completely leaves out what's actually going on in the hospitals in that particular region. Case numbers aren't meaningful. Especially with vaccines that are great at preventing serious symptoms but only good at preventing spread. Don't get me wrong, I'm vaccinated and I believe everybody should be. But the vaccines aren't gonna protect us from ever getting the virus. We all will get it. What matters is to strategically focus on vulnerable groups and difficult geographical areas. But unfortunately we seem to be looking for a one size fits all approach. But maybe people in rural Manitoba need to be taken care of differently than people in urban Toronto.

I agree completely: much of science now is highly politicized. We have seen what happens to professors or research scientists who try to take a position that countered popular opinion on a sensitive topic - they have protests against them, they are spat upon and assaulted, and they lose their jobs.

All of the other scientists and researchers see this and adjust their own behavior and areas of study to avoid being mobbed.

I have had to become increasingly cautious and wary of trusting all published science, especially that in social areas now.
I don't think we're going to agree here, and that's fine.

There is one interesting outcome of this discussion, though:

Given our discussion, one of us has to bite the bullet on a particular point:

Artifact A:
> Those "tremendous wealth of externalities"? That's called living in a society. There's no getting around it.

Artifact B:
>These sorts of things are generally challenged because in practice, it's a de facto mandate/ban/whatever. "You're free to choose size of the whip,"...

I will bite the bullet, and accept that unvaccinated people are not directly causing me harm (unless, for example, one punches me in the face). I will wave my hands and accept the externalities as simply "living in society", (even though, as societal beings, unvaccinated folks do have a significant detrimental effect...)

Accepting, for the sake of argument, that personal responsibility ends at what the individual does (rather than any 2nd to n-order effects, i.e., "externalities"), then it also means that the argument "in practice, it's a de facto mandate/ban/whatever." doesn't hold, since no one individual is holding a syringe up to you and forcing you to take it.

again, can't have it both ways.

Thus, if we accept that we are societal beings, and externalities matter (e.g., 2nd to n-order effects), then my right to swing my fist ends at your face, and vice versa, directly and to a tolerable n-th degree.

Just as an employer can choose not to hire you for toxic behavior or any numerous reasons (particularly at at-will states), the only thing they cannot use as a factor is anything that makes you a protected class.

You are effectively proposing that the choice to be unvaccinated should be a protected class.

That is what I disagree with. There is no justification to make it a protected class.
The more someone has to rely on backup channels and then backups of the back channel, the less likely you enroll new members.
there might be a correlation to how quickly companies form, projects start, and innovation progresses in America (entrepreneurship) compared to Europe, and how the robust workers' rights might figure into making companies reluctant to hire a batch of workers that they can't easily terminate.

While obviously Jobs’ claim was false, I will say that Apple is the only company I am aware of that manufacturers power supplies which are reliably completely free of perceptible inductor whine. I have very acute high-frequency hearing and I often have to replace non-Apple USB(-C) switching power supplies with Apple ones so I don’t go crazy from the whining. Teardowns of Apple PSUs typically reveal very favorable electronic and industrial design as well.
Thanks for your detailed response.

This is great news for the hospitals bottom line!

Not such great news for the hopeful mothers planning or already carrying a child who wouldn't wish their unborn offspring as a medical experiment. These are real people with real concerns. Not crazies who think there is a microchip in the shot. Studies on long term fetal impact are impossible with the mandated timeline.

If a woman has a pro-choice right to abortion, then it seems a pro-choice right to a medical injection is in order. The two points are logically inconsistent with each other.

You should still get vaccinated. Post-infection immunity is very heterogeneous, with respect to what level of protection you'll have, and how long it will last. You might have great protection for a bit, or you might get reinfected just like the first time, like many have.

The combined protection of natural with vaccination will be better than just one or the other. I hope you stay safe.
True, but I think there's a saying about quantity having a quality all its own.

The printing press was still running at humanly achievable speeds. The new stuff is super sonic. We can't cope with it. Plus with people living longer and longer and the natural neuroplasticity decrease that comes with age, more and more people are vulnerable.

It's the kind of thing that will need to be regulated very carefully and very strongly, because that's what laws are: barriers for when the human psyche fails. Imperfect barriers, but better than nothing.
