Can you explain employers and schools who previously had vaccine mandates (hepatitis and measles are examples I’ve seen for schools and healthcare workers) and what makes this vaccine different?

If the argument is “mandates are wrong”, we’ve had them for over 150 years. If the argument is it’s not safe, its FDA approved and has been administered over a billion times.

EDIT: @LurkingPenguin: While this is a good point, the data shows that vaccination protects against an intense infection resulting in the need of ICU and ventilation care (protection having been infected by COVID and recovering from previously does not).

Do you have a source? Sounds interesting.
The number of nations with nuclear submarines is so small it’s clearly one of the strongest strategic advantages a nation state can have.

An example of how seriously the US takes this kind of thing look back to history. After Walker leaked secrets the US started getting even more protective of its submarine programs. The combination of power, propulsion, stealth, and attack capabilities make them the pinnacle of deployable mobile power. A carrier group can start a war, a single submarine can finish one with 24x12 100kt warheads.

The density of sensitive information relating to submarines is very very high.
I'm not missing your point. I'm arguing that your point is wrong.

> 5. Housing construction isn’t keeping up

This is sufficient to explain why prices are much higher than they used to be. All the other stuff is window dressing for things the author already believes about the world. Once you've admitted that we've way under-built, then you don't need any other explanations.
I've always thought the solution to this was exponentialy increasing property taxes beyond the first property you (or whatever legal entity you create to horde properties) own. I'm dumb, so I'm sure there are reasons this won't work, but it seems like it should.
There is no evidence to suggest that Satoshi is a woman. Other writings refer to Satoshi as a 'he' without issue.

It was clear the the GP commenter was grasping for something bigger than the actual results provided, and neither that article or your explanation of it added more depth than the Twitter thread alone did.

I don't understand why you need to attach such a large value judgement here? If the answer is "Yeah, it was mostly a PR move re-stating their existing focus" that's fine, it's not any sort of attack.

Adoption curves will look like a hockey stick. When the adoption is low, it’s a lot riskier to use a framework. The best thing you can do to boost the popularity of $FRAMEWORK is to use it yourself, and post patches, issues, or learnings. The availability of this information will make it easier for others to adopt the technology as well.
I wouldn't do it myself morally speaking, but for a million you could retire in a cheap country and live relatively well. I could see why someone would make that choice. $100k isn't enough to do that, especially after you launder it.
Southwest's pilot union sued the company over its Covid-19 vaccine mandate a few days ago[1], this is clearly related. The media isn't reporting this because the media owners don't want the masses hearing about others beginning to revolt against the draconian and illogical vaccine mandates (i.e. Why wouldn't a naturally derived antibody test be allowed in place of a vaccine, considering that's the whole point of getting a vaccine?).

The pilots saw what happened to healthcare workers who didn't immediately push back on mandates, so they are playing it differently. And if you don't support employees demanding medical freedom because they see through the corruption taking place, you don't need to fly on airplanes.

>Under the RLA, our Union is forbidden from taking job action to resolve labor disputes under these circumstances

They couldn't admit it if that's what they're doing. They'd have to deny it either way. Even an "unofficial" unorganized sick out.

On the other hand- if a pilot knew he was getting fired in two weeks for not getting vaccinated, and he happened to have two weeks sick pay, well then the company policy did all the "organizing" that needed to be done.

Oh! Sorry about that. I'll repost what I said last time this came up:

> I'll repeat what I always say whenever this comes up: subscribe to the Sunday edition of a major city daily. If your city doesn't have a very good one, then just do the New York Times (but note that the Metro section is one of the most interesting and useful parts of the daily paper and you'll miss out on that if you subscribe to a national paper). You want the Sunday edition because it's the week's largest edition and contains stories that ran earlier in the week, plus sections that aren't in the weekday editions. And you probably want real paper. The idea is to scan through it from beginning to end, getting an idea of what the major stories are and what's broadly happening in the world. Read it over coffee or while watching football or whatever.

Both of those vaccines had been in widespread use for years before any mandate was ever instituted. Hospitals often also accept natural immunity in lieu of vaccination for every other vaccine besides COVID, where orthodoxy demands denying that natural immunity even exists.

Schools also never mandated flu shots, which are a much closer analog to the Covid vaccines both in terms of effectiveness (imperfect, leaky, marginal reduction of transmission at best, wearing off over time) and seriousness of the underlying disease than measles or hepatitis.

I had the same experience with LFS, seeing under the hood and putting it into practice gave me a deeper appreciation and understanding of what's going on.

Actually, the US currently has 37% as many divorces as marriages per year, and that ratio been going down for the past 40 years.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/marriage-divorce.htm

Even that stat is a bit misleading, since first marriages have been almost twice a likely to last as subsequent marriages.

And even that is still misleading about marriage odds. Low income, teen or near teen women have a much higher rate of divorce than the rest of the population.

> The price of the average house in the USA is based primarily on the government-guaranteed 30 year fixed rate mortgage. For a given interest rate and income, the house will cost exactly the maximum amount of loan the borrower can get.

This implies that very poor people can buy houses for very cheap. The price of a particular house is not set by reference to the person purchasing it. The price comes first, and the buyer second.
Too much tech and reliance on tech; Less tech?

Not being a luddite, just making an observation. The biggest threat to modern society, nation security,mental health,etc... you name it, is too much tech too fast with not enough social frameworks to adopt to it. The adoptin will come but all the big social pains are part of the adoption process which could be less painful at a slower pace. Wrt reliance on tech, it creates a power imbalance where adopters gain short term advantage over non-adapting people, the reverse is true as well. For example, the US military us relying on drones and ships with reduced manpower, not simply because they can but they realized getting a large number of americans fit for service or manufacturing ships, planes and tanks at WW2(or more) scale is impossible due to americans being physically unfit but also because of the wastefulness and inefficiency of the military indistrial comples. Instead of solving underlying issues, it was solved with tech. So if China for example catches up with tech against US, all they have to do is not rely purely on tech like the US and use body count to win any conventional conflict. I am just using that as one example.

Let's say I am relying on uber and a grocery delivery app. Being able to have a reliable phone and a working app (and a working not-banned account) is a dependency for my basic needs. This is not a convenience but a reliance. Lack of public transportation or grocery stores within walking distance of residential areas could be an underlying problem covered up with tech reliance and those who refuse to adopt tech are excluded from opportunities. This is an example but I literally can't enter my apartment without an app, every resident is an involuntary adaptor of some app.

I didn't want to pick more controversial examples but every major modern problem I see, I can connect it to this issue.

Sorry if this doesn't help you come up with a solution given this is HN.

Well apartment buildings is one. Is rented out real estate really ‘hoarded’?
So wrong.

1. Population is growing -> sure worldwide, but projected to start declining by mid century. In addition, Japan, Italy and other places are already in decline. Japanese home prices have been almost flat for 30 years. Tokyo has no zoning and you can build what you want. If you live in the developed world, East Asia, China, etc you are going to witness declines if you don't have immigration

2. People are moving to cities -> Were. Covid has allowed a lot more flexibility. First tier city residents moving to second tier and rural areas with good internet service. Real reversal of the last twenty years.

3. More people are living alone -> sure because there are fewer of them. Direct contradiction of point 1 by the way.

4. Multiple house ownership. So what?

5. Housing construction isn't keeping up. Sure. But that can be fixed if there is political willpower.

6. Material shortages and building costs. -> We were just in oversupply of materials post '08 financial crisis. We could be again. Just focused investment on production of materials. Land.. If you have Hong Kong density, the entire US population could squeeze into a corner of the state of Texas.

7. Sure inflation is soaring, but can come down again, with higher interest rates, which would also absolutely slaughter leveraged real estate investors.

8 Weird thing on the monopolists... They were already financing 90% of house anyway with debt. You were paying a rental equivalent called a mortgage. Now they're financing 100%, and you still pay a rental equivalent.

9 Outrageous leverage - individual homeowners have way better leverage. 30 year fixed mortgage with the option to refi to lower interest rates if they are available. Corporates don't get to access that. What's really happened is that post '08 financing disappeared for buyers with low credit scores.

The Solution is Simple
1. Get rid of most single family zoning
2. Create incentives and penalties such that cities with higher real estate prices build more housing of all kinds
3. More supply everywhere

One aspect of articles like this that I've noticed is the absolute certainty the author seems to have that these terrible outcomes are inevitable, with no expression of a confidence interval or possible less world-ending alternatives.

I just... can't take articles like this seriously. It's the political equivalent of gore porn, and it feels like a waste of time to think about.

When Nassim Taleb wrote about "Black Swan events", he more or less ended circumspect skepticism, because now everyone is trying to find the next "black swan event" that they can predict, and have discovered calling out hundreds of them is the most effective way to get one right, with minimal/zero consequences for being wrong.

Was a lot of fun, but a huge amount of time compiling

Every time I decided to try a new window manager and update USE flags to do something like add GTK support for Gnome, or QT for KDE, and obviously remove whatever I had to start with for optimization it would recompile everything. I remember in particular doing something like a fresh Gnome install, starting to use it and realizing I'd missed a USE flag for audio and having to re-compile all the Gnome apps to have them be able to use sound.

Was fun, but brutal in terms of efficiency.

over 1 in 500 Americans have died of COVID-19. The US has 4.25% of the world's population but 14% of the total deaths. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-covid-19-death-toll-hits...
For over a decade pundits have been calling for the housing market to fall, yet prices keep going up to no end. Even Covid could not derail it. Although homes are more expensive than ever before , thanks to historically low 30-year mortgage rate and low inflation, real estate is probably a better investment now than ever before, although the down payment is more expensive. But despite this, the returns are very good, assuming you can afford the downpayent. One thing I have observed reading these articles is that it's way easier to explain why prices keep going up than propose any viable solutions. I think the best answer is building outward, expand the economy outward.

If you're wondering why V7, it was the first portable UNIX and the last public Bell Labs distribution. It's free software now. V6 is the one for which the first BSD was a supplement for and that goes with Lion's commentary and was partially rewritten as xv6. PWB/UNIX, which eventually evolved into Syatem V, also derived from V6. So in a sense V6 is the first portable public common ancestor and V7 is the last.
It seems like if it's zoned as a single-family home or residential or whatever and you're not a single family it's hording. I'm willing to be talked out of that. Seems wrong to have to compete with a corporation to buy a house.
