> There is no fully approved vaccine available in the United States.

Comirnaty (Pfizer-BioNTech) is fully approved for those 16 and over, and has been since late August.
Unequivocal? There is literally no doubt as to the “safety”? That is demonstratively not true. On several occasions, several of the vaccines have been halted by several separate health authorities over safety concerns. That is not zero doubt. This story is about exactly that.

You have to come up with a definition of “experimental” that suits you, and “emergency authorization” doesn’t sound like very well tested and understood.

People don’t understand risks very well nor can they compare risks very well and that has been demonstrated over and over again.

Covid vs vaccine risks vary quite a lot depending on what kind of person you are.

If you are quite old or have significant health problems, it is pretty easy to demonstrate with high confidence that the vaccine risk is way smaller than the Covid risk (many orders of magnitude).

If you are very young (say a healthy teenager) the Covid risk is very low and the uncertainties of the vaccine risks start to compete where it is much harder to have confidence that for a population vaccinating is a better idea. People also can have different appetites for risk and different appetites for the good of the individual vs the good of the many.

The problems with vaccination are many people pretend they are perfect or evil who are either knowingly distorting the truth or repeating lies or dogma. Also many people desire authoritarian solutions for everyone to agree with them.

What is actually needed are attempts to accurately represent risks and unknowns, and comparisons of those risks and unknowns which update over time as the unknowns get smaller. There also needs to be the ability to acknowledge that a crossover point may exist where on one side one decision may be better than on the other.

People though are being used to turn any contentious issue into political dogma and opportunities to signal morality.

The situation is not as simple as you and many people make it.
Well, curious behavior for curious purposes isn't without precedent.

Active Exploits Against Apache (CVE-2021-41773)
I would argue it's impossible at a large organization to be aware of all of what's going on around you.

I can't tell you how many times a manager sidled up to me and said "What do you think about X?" when they had forwarded me a several months long conversation as an e-mail, and expected me to spend hours unraveling it while simultaneously hitting my dev targets.

That is to say, it's super easy for a managers to broadcast information, and super expensive for the team to consume it. It becomes a thing where you can't even tell what information is going to be relevant.
Yup!

Breakthrough infection and breakthrough disease are entirely different things.

There's so much scamming around cryptocurrencies. I personally lost several thousand dollars from the Nano/BitGrail scam.

A dear friend of mine delved into cryptocurrencies specifically to buy drugs, and he gets them shipped through the US postal service all the time. He regularly abuses ketamine and LSD in large doses and has done serious harm to his health with them.

It's deeply depressing to me what has happened to this dream of internet currencies, and I hope that the US justice department can clean this garbage up.
In your example US and French companies in France would have to abide whatever rules are in France whereas US and French companies in the US would have to abide whatever rules are in the US. As it has always been.

Any cross border treaty provisions, or provisions relying on multi party agreement will be ineffective in the case of the French-US relationship until both sides harmonize. Depending on how the treaty is structured it may be that none of the provisions can enter into force until all provisions are able to. And various other possible complications can change the dynamic too of course.

Affordable, Rapid Bootstrapping of the Solar System Civilization (2016)
I feel like most of the folks on the DOS nostalgia train are people who didn't actually live through that era trying to make all those things work. As you note, it was finicky, crash prone, and very very annoying to work with.

We did have fun, but we would've had more fun on a more capable, less slapdash OS. Which is why so many of us abandoned Win/DOS at our first opportunity -- either on (likely university-owned) Unix or BSD hardware, or on early Linux, or for some to the Mac or Amiga or even Atari, all of which were empirically better platforms than DOS/Windows at the time EXCEPT for gaming.

> The amount of frothing vitriol in this thread makes it clear that Armstrong made the correct choice. Public discourse in the Bay Area has become completely toxic.

He was correct, so was Shopify, so was Basecamp and all these businesses that told their employees to leave their partisan politics and social justice concerns at the door.

I'm not sure what HN has turned into but the litany of disingenuous comments from people claiming a tech company has the duty to mend society the way they believe is the best makes me believe that a lot of people here don't understand what running a business is about and It is not being a PAC.

I'm also amused with the people claiming that all these companies "are bleeding talent". No, a lot of us here just want to write programs or manage teams or products, nothing more. Certainly not be involved in any social justice activity.

Nothing developed 15 months ago can be shown to be "unequivocally safe". No matter what your position on COVID vaccines, its simply a matter of fact that there's no way to know the long term effects of something that hasn't been around for long.
Thank you so so much!
All of these statements are like when people comment their condolences or congratulations on social media. Yeah, it’s just a gesture, but the gesture is appreciated.

You're comparing yearly numbers to a one/two shot event. A relevant timeframe needs to be selected, otherwise you may as well use cases/people/hour (0.2 .. 2 case per 177Mp·h) or cases/people/decade (18k..180k cases per (177Mp·decayear)).

Article says most cases happen within a few days from second shot. Guesstimating at 5 days, we get 1800..1800/365*5 => 25..250 cases per 177Mp·5d.

145 cases would be around the number of otherwise expected cases, if measured on a population level. Assuming young people have lower incidence rate and it is not already accounted for, there would be more vaccines carditis than natural occurrences (EDIT: during the relevant 5 days after 2nd shot).

Still likely less than those expected from covid infection (didn't do math).
or not tied to BLM; just a bunch of white teenagers running around trying to set starbucks on fire and getting into fights with the police to start a revolution. which is even worse because it shows the lack of sense-making on both sides.

Even when they set that construction site on fire, the stark difference between the front of the march which went peacefully by and the trail of destruction from the end of the march; it's no wonder the people at the front were confused when the police confronted them. unless they were staring at their phones the entire time, they'd have no idea what the "pacific youth liberation front" was doing behind them.

Unless you went actively searching for both sides, the passive social media and MSM would just show you whatever half of the story aligned with your political views; any conversation was just 2 sides completely talking past each other because they only saw their echo-chamber and refused to acknowledge the other side's echo-chamber.

The best/dumbest example was video of a (dismounted) cop who rolled his bike over some guy's head. And then the time-lapse video of that guy spending 15+ mins following the cops around and laying down in front of them; only getting his head rolled over on the 5th time. The immaturity of all parties in that video is just mind-boggling to me.

> The method I use and often encourage other people to use is version control latex and csv files and python scripts in git, which can do everything MS office does.

Unfortunately what MS Office does that people often want is "present an interface with which I'm familiar" and "read all these MS Office files that people send me", neither of which LaTeX, CSV, and Python handle well (although I wouldn't be surprised if there were a Python module for at least rudimentary support of MS Office file formats).

Not to disagree with your main point—I also rely on that toolkit, though, as a not-very-computational mathematician, I find I don't have that much need for programming in my workflow—but I do think one has to be careful about what people are reluctant to give up.

> You have to come up with a definition of “experimental” that suits you, and “emergency authorization” doesn’t sound like very well tested and understood.

I think you may have misread my comment. I agree that "emergency authorization" constitutes "experimental". My point is that there is now a vaccine that is no longer experimental, i.e. is as fully FDA approved as any other, and the mandates in place were put there after that approval.

To the rest of your comment, when dealing with a contagious disease which spreads throughout society, I think that the people participating in a society should be able to set prerequisites for participating in that society. One person's rights end where another's begin, and with contagious diseases, a given person's low risk of death does not prevent them from spreading it to someone with much higher risk.
> Vaccine is the only thing that can (and does) make this pandemic manageable.

This is false. There are treatments available, like monoclonal antibodies, they just have not been publicized as much.

Somebody, somewhere made a choice to push the vaccines and not the monoclonal antibodies. As an interesting fact, before the pandemic the knowledge to produce the nanolipid capsule existed in only 2 small companies worldwide. Big scale facilities for producing the nanolipid particles necessary for the mRNA vaccines were non-existent, they had to be built. Just as well, facilities for producing monoclonal antibodies en-masse could have been built, but were not.

This is a perfectly valid opinion to make, but I think everyone doing so should disclose where they work.

Additionally, I would hope they apply the same scrutiny to all companies that are harmful or don’t provide value; for me, that would include (non-exhaustive list): tobacco, alcohol, soda, fast food, junk food, high-frequency trading, gambling, and any company that is currently not or does not have an actionable plan to become carbon neutral, and that’s just off the top of my head.

Or we could just let people (and by extension advertisers) decide for themselves.

Vivaldi only has a small team. They said in 2016 they only needed five million users to turn a profit (They generate income based on search engine referrals).

Another downside to Vivaldi is they don’t push out many releases meaning that their security is likely lagging behind. My assumption on this is their custom UI takes a while to build after a new release.

Edge and Chrome both push out timely security updates.

I'm not sure that fixing something that is broken is a good allegory for what programmers do, because a lot of us (most of us?) create new things.

The impact that creating something new can have can range from changing the course of history, to literally nothing (like most everything I've written).

Programmers and mechanics have a vastly different impact potential than one another.

Because it is romantic. The "unsinkable" ship, one of the largest passenger ships ever built at the time, sinks on its maiden voyage. The first-class passengers live opulent lives with ballrooms and swimming pools and fine dining and the famous grand staircase, as steerage passengers are crammed in down below. When disaster strikes there aren't enough lifeboats to evacuate everyone, and as panic sets in the limited lifeboats are launched half empty or are mislaunched and freefall into the ocean. As the ship sinks the band plays on...

Sure, the Lusitania may be more "shocking," but it's certainly not more romantic.

Actually, you're conveniently omitting a part of that history, which completely negates your point. First it was LCD and Plasma. Then Plasma went away completely, and you had fluorescent backlit LCD. What's the point of calling something LCD when it's all LCD? Was the Sony Trinitron called a CRT? No, it was called a Trinitron, because everything was CRT.

When LED started happening, it wasn't just a big backlight like the old gas backlit LCD. There were many LEDs, and they were selectively turned on or off to save energy and greatly improve contrast. Not just a dumb backlight like "LCD" in the days when it was competing with Plasma. So yes, LED, which provided the Luminance channel of the image, was a completely valid way to call it.

>LED backlights "LED TVs" when OLED tech started getting hyped up

well this is simply false. LED TVs came out over a decade before OLED TVs and were called LED TVs.

Since the Q applies to the LED, not the LCD part of the TV, QLED is exactly and the only proper way to call it.

It's the same kind of bullshit conspiracy theory as "covid is a hoax" and "the election was stolen." The QLED and LED name have zero to do with marketing. They literally describe the TV.
