I don't see how this statement is true without considering prior infection.

I don't know about everyone else, but I get most of my hate, arguments, misinformation, angry, and harmful messaging from HN and Reddit.

RE: downvotes

I understand my comment is low effort, but so is the parent comment. I would be more than happy to see both removed.
It works for situations that you can expect no chance of repudiation or imposters. Then it is no different than an illiterate person signing with just an X.

Even a verbal agreement is legally binding and useful when repudiations and imposters are not likely.
I'm not the most familiar with rent the runway but I'm curious if this type of business alleviates or worsens the fast fashion environmental issue.

In theory it helps by reducing the need for people to own the latest fashion and that could lead to a reduction in waste. But I'm assuming that they also have to bulk purchase the latest trends.
HN is one of the most sceptical places on the internet, which I find interesting as it's just a news aggregator for people in software.
If it agrees with my priors it's objective fact. If else, it's an anecdote
This is systemic racism, and like most actual examples of systemic racism (as opposed to the completely trivial number of black men that are killed by police each year), this one is widely supported by most liberal whites, who, yet again, have completely ignored minorities after supposedly elevating our voices for the past year. What a joke. We should start teaching Malcolm X in school.
Hey, you would not believe that if I had no proof ;-) ... but the true cause of the "yes cards" was some kind of glitch on side of visa/mastercard AND the banks. So at that time some banks had not even issued chip cards to their customers. If you "cloned"/transformed the data from the magstripe to the chip and tweaked a few bits ... well, that confused the system and defaulted to "yes" due visa/mastercards setup/fallback. Naturally, this problem has sloved itself by now.
It sucks - I wish these people didn't need to be let go - if only they had been warned repeatedly about the consequences of not getting the vaccine (to their health and their jobs), been given clear evidence on efficacy from trusted sources and hadn't bought into bullshit they read on facebook.
Structural pattern matching is exciting to me, though I’m going to have to resist the temptation to rewrite everything with it.

The improvements to the typing system are what i’m keen to adopt ASAP, as I can see it having a big impact on my day-to-day quality of life.
Is it just me, or every time there's an issue with facebook server side, the FB SDK just absolutely damages any software with it installed as a dependency. The thought put into failover states under the hood is very lacking. It speaks to an ethos of if developers aren't a working data pipeline to facebook services, them and their own products can go pound sand.

I'm not sure he's quite understood the economics of the 24th century.
Renewables don’t have a solution now either (no base load, remember?), nor do they even have anything concrete on the horizon, so they certainly ought not be the primary focus. So if not nuclear nor renewables, then what?
I'd say this is more akin to taking a software beta. Prior to a few months ago it was still experimental and in alpha. The software was rushed to market and you have no recourse if it bricks your system. The vaccine mandate is similar to forcing only trusted users on your network. Now you have created a catch 22 because any dissenters have been removed from the health care system.

Don't take this as a request not to be vaccinated, but rushing has created some very bad problems in the past:

That is the reaction of a child. Not an adult working in a critical service.
My discomfort is solely in other people using it, and the effect it has on them.
The problem is if you can get natural immunity independently, how can you be dependent on the government? Reduced dependency for vaccines and healthcare will reduce the need for government intervention and reduce the justification for increased taxes and regulations.
> they avoid internalizing the costs of their decisions.

You don't know that. There are ways to take precautions to the benefit of your fellow citizens that do not involve taking the vaccine. There's more than one way to be civil.

> And no one is being held down and coerced to receive a shot.

No.. but you're limiting their rights under the guise that their decisions must be harming someone. You're engaged in penalizing behavior without actually establishing any guilt. It's disturbing that this is bandied about so readily.
Um okay... but he asked what the FBI was. Is the FBI enforcing covid vaccines? I don't think so

They literally claim they're "unable" to give data to 3rd parties.

Another claim is that they have secure features for activists and journalists.

The trust is broken...

Or they got it already, and equally or better protected than by vaccination.

Obesity has a sizable impact on the healthcare system. WHO says that obesity kills 2.8 million people a year.[0] Would these kinds of methods work there too? Get fit or be let go?

Obviously this wouldn't ever be taken seriously, but it is surprising to me that obesity is an issue that's mostly ignored. Yet the impact of it is on at least the same scale as the pandemic.

What qualifies you to speak on the subject?

What makes you more qualified than the people who actually have professional education, training, and experience in running a hospital?
I don't use Facebook so I'm only going by what I've seen from screenshots or over someone's shoulder. Isn't one part of the misery political posts from people you do know? e.g., extended family or old friends going off the deep end?
Given that "sin" is a purely religious concept, and that one's culture around alcohol has a pretty big effect on whether alcohol is associated with misbehavior (there are lots of people and places for whom alcohol does not cause "sin"), it's totally fair to say that alcohol bans were at least partially religiously motivated.
shit I got the terminology wrong. I AM a millenial, I meant Gen Z
The issue I see is that now you have mixed data and schema. And unfortunately altering schema is much more difficult in current systems. There is no homoiconic SQL DBMS. This lack of homoiconicity is aso reflected in the fact that only values can be parametrized. Identifiers can not.

Also you face issues if there is some other entity depending on MyTable. You can no longer have a FK because you no longer have a table to which to point the FK, you have 3 tables.

You could create a table containing just the key and have FKs pointing from the three tables (I think this pattern does have a name) but you run more issues because there is usually no way to force bidirectional mandatory optionality using FKs. (A FK can be 0..1 - 0..M, 1..1 - 0..M, 0..1 - 0..1 or 1..1 - 0..1. But it can never be 0..1 - 1..M, 1..1 - 1..M or 1..1 - 1..1. In this case 0..1 - 1..1 is not an issue because it can be reversed as 1..1 - 0..1. )

Now you have two options:

- Either create FKs in both directions, but then you run into the issue that most DBMS can not update two tables at the same time in the same statement. You have to use transactions and defer FK checking until the end of the transaction. And by this point you have created a DSL over SQL.

- Or you use extra flag columns in order to achive a three step process (insert key in key table, insert extra attributes in other table, update key table to mark as active) and enforce everything using constraints and triggers, but similarly, by this point you have created a DSL over SQL.
The concept is fine. The implementation is garbage (in the US), and insufficiently transparent.
> If these workers are disproportionately black or Hispanic workers, then this would appear to be a textbook example of systemic racism

Does every incidence of disproportional representation indicate systemic racism, or is there some context lacking here?
Yes, they did backtrack. They said the vax prevents COVID spread. Then in the next phrase said.. but we don't know about Delta yet. At the time of publication, delta was the most commonly spreading variant. That means they made a claim 'the vax prevents COVID spread' that had an unknown truth value at the time, especially in the context of contemporaneous events.

The second link you provided is actually relevant. Thanks.
It’s not all about you. Unvaccinated people are more likely to infect others. Stop being selfish and get vaccinated.
I'd probably be willing to concede to a weaker form of the bet, say if more than 20% of taxi service miles driven were by self-driving cars. But we don't need to tell my friend that.

This sounds more like an issue when it comes to interacting with those people in general, regardless of the medium. I bet those friends would still bring up their political views in irrelevant conversations irl, on twitter, or literally everywhere else they socialize.

This isn't a fault on the part of FB. You indicated you are friends with those people and want to follow their content. If you want to be friends with them on FB, but not see their content pop up on your timeline, that option is a click away. If you want more granular filtering, so that you can still see non-political posts from those people, you need to indicate to the algorithm that you want less of that by clicking "show me less posts like this", and it will eventually learn.

I see those options as a reasonable approach, as I struggle to come up with a better way to filter the content of people you follow with such granularity. The only option I can see in my mind that would work better is literally having someone work as your personal "filter", so that they can only show you the posts you want from those people. But that, obviously, is not a viable approach.

It's just like in real life. If you have a friend who you want to continue socializing with, but in public settings they say extremely off-putting things half the time that you don't want to hear, your options are to either stop socializing with them completely (aka unfollowing), to ask them to stop doing it, and that's pretty much it. All of those options are available on facebook as well, except facebook offers even more options that are all pretty good.

And I am saying this as someone who opens facebook at most once-twice a week for a little bit of time, just to check up on what my friends post and to read thru a few interesting discussions in the hobby groups I am in. If I occasionally see a wild political shitpost, I just click "show me less content like this". And the algorithm, surprisingly enough, tends to adjust to this pretty well.
I think it's mainly ego at this point. The establishment said that herd immunity won't work, accepting that those who already have had the disease are as immune as those with the vaccine would be in effect admitting they were wrong.
I'm reading this interesting book on the global history of prohibition that challenges a lot of traditional narratives. [1] One novel thing in the air at the time was the rise of social science and scientific thinking. Before the early 20th century, there wasn't much hard data on how alcohol led to bad health and safety outcomes. Some of this research probably went too far (equating all alcohol to poison). But new awareness of the real dangers (and lack of evidence for many folk remedies of alcohol like warming you up) had a big impact in convincing people and governments to get on the temperance bandwagon.

Police powers are obviously being used... how do you think laws and regulations are enforced?

If a business violates the OSHA rules and then doesn't pay the penalties, they are shut down and, if the business continues operating in violation of the regulators, arrested. That's the obvious and implicit statement. The police do that!

The police aren't out raiding houses but the police powers are obviously being used; it's the state's monopoly on violence! It's the government's biggest lever!
What's wrong with the idea of treating gaslighting as a certain kind of manipulation?
Yes - infected+vaccinated is more protected than infected. But infected is way more protected than vaccinated only. If your position is that everyone should meet the highest standard of infected+vaccinated - which is only marginally better than just being infected - then we should be mandating mandatory covid infection. But if your position is that vaccination alone provides acceptable protection, then infection alone already far far surpasses that in both lasting immunity and total efficacy.

[edit] Here is an excerpt from their conclusion:

"This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity."
This seems like a bad faith argument. Black and Hispanic workers are free to choose to get vaccinated just like anyone else and there are no barriers to them doing so, and it's not unreasonable that POC who work for a hospital would be held to the same standards as any other employee. "Racism" applies to things that can't be changed, like skin color or national heritage.
These mitigations wouldn't be in place if there wasn't a pandemic on - the faster we can solve that the faster we can open things up again.

And this problem might be unsolvable - if that's the case then the vaccine mandates (which do lower risk) will probably become as set in stone as MMR shots which, if you went to school in America, you almost certainly got.
I have to say, I find it surprising that ycombinator hasn't hired another developer to work on HN. It's great that you're actually well-versed in the codebase, but you shouldn't be the lead moderator, lead customer support contact, and lead developer, that's nuts!

Heck, I can't tell—are you merely the "lead" on those things, or are you the sole person? You often say "we" when talking about HN, but I can't tell if that's a royal we or not.

I know that HN is meant to be low-resource, but if ycombinator thinks it has any value at all, they ought to be able to spare another developer. This is just basic organization management. Of course you haven't finished your software yet, you can't do everything!
Your profession is a big fraud. Big fraud that is dismantled with knowledge, not the supposed one that you and your colleagues get brainwashed at the universities.
Check where 'alumni' comes from.
Check why you dress in black at universities.
Check how your "medicine" was founded.
Check who owns the pharmaceuticals, and by the way, all other giant multinationals.
Check who does the supposed scientific research.
Check where does the new religion of scientism comes from.

If you check all these, we'll come to the conclusion that the bad garbage is inside the heads of so many that believe in the system. Then you'll begin to feel that this "medicine" is killing many, many people that could be saved.

Those who believe that:
a) is better to put some mask instead of breathing air and inputting oxygen into the body;
b) is better to "stay at home" imprisoned instead of walking outside and taking sun;
c) is better to be injected, as much as possible, with so many poisons instead of eating healthy (not by your "medicine" standards for sure), have good emotions and improve the immune system.

I have some news to you: You are very very ill... from your heads!
This is a bit extreme, but I'm of the opinion that it's literally impossible to act immorally against Facebook. It would be unfortunate if this were to happen. Ultimately, whatever is good for the goose is good for the gander, and there's no worthier goose than the razing of Facebook et al.
Welcome back AS32934.

A little bit of Internet history just happened — has so much traffic ever stopped and started in such a short period of time?

Somewhere, one more happily undulating circadian egress graph just had a whopping exponential decay chunk taken out of it. How close to 0 did it get? What void lies below the graph? Elder gods? Blank packetless skree? The Great Quiet? We may never know — it’s noisy again now and will never get quieter.

Long may these events continue. The Internet was never meant to work all the time, it was meant to take a pummelling, say whatever, and carry on regardless.
Maybe a timed rollback with the previous state stored on the device that needs to be rolled back, althogh if you're doing this at facebook scale I'm sure that's a little more difficult than it sounds, perhaps.

For me personally, I don't know anyone who's died of COVID, but I know two people who had complications from the vaccine, including my aunt who was already in fragile health and who was sent to the hospital due to myocarditis, and then told not to get shot number two. She's already partially disabled because of her health problems, but because of government mandate that requires she be 'fully vaccinated' (i.e., dead in her case) she can also no longer work any job (even remote ones, because apparently sitting in your home working is also illegal). Thanks Joe Biden!
It reduces your risk of serious illness to the point of irrelevance. If you’re vaccinated, you’re not quite at zero risk, but you’re close enough that the pandemic is over for you.

And delta is so transmissible that herd immunity is no longer achievable even with 100% vaccinated.
Hit F12 on your browser and look at the network traffic. HN only loads a handful of files: the html page, a style sheet, a JavaScript file and a few GIFs for the arrows and faveicon.

The JS is uncompressed and very readable. It only contains logic for site use, no code to call back some other trackers.

A perfect example of site that doesn't need to use client-side analytics to sell ads.
Pffft. If you can't think of a single thing, I won't even bother arguing with you.

Enjoy the dystopian future you're creating.
The problem isn't (wasn't) facebook.com's A records, it's that the authoritative nameservers for facebook.com are (were) unreachable. In theory someone could change the NS records for facebook on the .com nameservers to point somewhere else and serve up a fake facebook.com domain, but... 1) those NS records have a 6 hour TTL, so it would take a while be effective, and 2) who has the authority to do that?
I believe that this answers my original question I made in a previous comment regarding the impact on environmental fast fashion. Sounds like it's better for the environment for someone to use rent the runway versus making a purchase at H&M.
Anyone capable of that level of introspection is unlikely to be someone who is on the wrong end of misinformation. If the solution is for everyone to identify misinformation and to block it, then the criticisms of social media platforms are legitimate. Only those who are the least likely to be effected would be the ones opting out.

I don't dispute that the vaccines may be effective in reducing hospitalizations & deaths from Covid but that's a separate question from whether and how much they reduce transmission.
> That's also probably why we're seeing the domain "facebook.com" for sale on domain sites. The registrar that would normally provide the ownership info is down.

That’s not how it works. The info of whether a domain name is available is provided by the registry, not by the registrars. It’s usually done via a domain:check EPP command or via a DAS system. It’s very rare for registrar to registrar technical communication to occur.

Although the above is the clean way to do it, it’s common for registrars to just perform a dig on a domain name to check if it’s available because it’s faster and usually correct. In this case, it wasn’t.

As a mediocre armchair accountant, I'm interested in how to read their P&L since so much of the loss is depreciated clothing, which they presumably continue to rent out even after they mark down the value of the clothes.

Presumably a dress has a much higher LTV in future implied subscription income then its inherent accounting liquidation value.
