You're not an anti-vaxxer for refusing the corona vaccines.

You're an anti-mRNA-vaxxer, which is a totally different thing.

mRNA vaccines were just FDA approved around Aug. 23, 2021, and have no long-term data, and mRNA changes your cells, unlike prior weakened vaccines.

I understand if people make a decision to take an mRNA vaccine, but the decision is not an informed one at this time.

The current drive by the Biden administration to get almost everybody vaccinated is as much a political goal as a medical one, really to meet a quota.

Imagine that on every international flight, 8 passengers died from covid

Imagine that at every capacity game at Madison square garden (or another sports venue of your choice) 200 people died of covid.

Every time.

Now think about that and ask yourself if you might think twice before flying internationally or going to a basketball game.

You could also do some comparisons to road deaths and think about all the public health measures we have in place to prevent them and how many people still either know someone who has been impacted by road accidents.

This is completely fake, leftists are always authoritarian statists, happy tribes of utopically dancing hippies is just a wet dream (and bourgeoisie pays for it).

This shouldn’t be particularly surprising. Going back through the twentieth century communists generally fall into two categories; 1) Mass-murdering, totalitarian dictators when in power and 2) terrorists when not-in power.

“People have completely forgotten that in 1972 we had over nineteen hundred domestic bombings in the United States,” noted retired FBI agent Mark Noel. Most of these bombings were committed by terrorist groups such as the Weather Underground. Which is just one in a long list of communist terrorist organizations including FARC, M-19, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the PKK and, let’s be honest, Antifa. In fact, a 2001 Department of Energy study found that,

From an international perspective, of the 13,858 people who died between 1988 and 1998 in attacks committed by the 10 most active terrorist groups in the world, 74 percent were killed by leftist organizations.*

She's been posting in this thread using two different accounts, "ahoyhere" and "amyhoy", which is why I mentioned it; that, plus the chance that someone might look at the issue who actually had the ability to do so. So I don't think it's "without any basis". I agree that my suggestion that she might have been using that mechanism for flagging might qualify as "insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like"; at any rate, in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28893741 she claims her reputation is so low that she's not allowed to flag. Since her "ahoyhere" account has 7448 karma, that claim of hers is probably false, similar to many other claims she's made in this thread. Perhaps that's an honest mistake.

However, my suggestion was certainly in good faith; your implicit accusation of dishonesty definitely violates the guidelines of HN.
I rarely listen to podcasts but was going to try and listen to a specific one Joe Rogan did recently. After listening for a few minutes, an ad came on. I pay for spotify, why am I listening to an ad?

Anyway, I waited like 90 seconds and he came back on. Withing about 15 minutes, I had two more ads come on and they were 90 & 120 seconds each. After the second ad played, the podcast didn't start. Fiddling with it caused the podcast to start over from the beginning. When I tried to seek to the last place I was, it played an ad immediately. Seriously unbelievable.

I gave up and will never attempt to listen to an ad supported podcast on Spotify again.

How often have you dropped an idea you think is true after attacking it with everything you have? If it never happens then it is likely that you are not doing a “good job”. If few ideas you like/agree with survive then you are more likely to be doing a “good job”. It is humbling for me to realise how quickly I can emotionally believe something to be true and then realise that I have no real evidence to support it. And remembering all the things I used to think was true and I now realise might not be (not enough conclusive evidence). The key insight is that ideas are just models of the world. All flawed and with the potential to be improved/more accurate. Don’t become your ideas. Stand apart from your ideas/truths and be critical of them. Assume you are wrong and try to prove it.

It doesn't really make sense, and is rather an offense to normal morality, to say that because someone has a disability, that weakens them in terms of resisting abuse or torture, that it mitigates the responsibility of the perpetrators.

In support of this being a societal norm, here:

"The eggshell rule (also thin skull rule or talem qualem rule)[1] is a well-established legal doctrine in common law, used in some tort law systems,[2] with a similar doctrine applicable to criminal law. The rule states that, in a tort case, the unexpected frailty of the injured person is not a valid defense to the seriousness of any injury caused to them"

Nit: Kotlin doesn't exactly have optionals, it has essentially a type modifier (?) that represents a "nullable" type, i.e. the sum of a type T and the value 'null'. This is indeed safer and terser, therefore strictly more powerful than Java's Optional type, but it begs a question: Why not allow users to create similar higher-kinded types instead of baking this one very specific type kind into the compiler?

Their recent decision to axe typeclasses in favor of multiple function receivers, which solves a small subset of problems that HKTs do in Scala and Haskell, make me look for greener pastures whenever I need them.

Absolutely. At times, it makes me wanna blast it with cosmic rays, induce a burst of mutations, mix things up. Just give me a knob. Sometimes I want to stick on one specific sound. Other times I need to explore.
As far as I understand it, “CISC” doesn’t mean “has a lot of instructions”, it means the individual instructions are themselves complex/composable/expressing more than one hardware operation. For instance, on x86 you can write an instruction like ‘ADD [rax + 0x1234 + 8*rbx], rcx’ that performs a multi-step address calculation with two registers, reads from memory, adds a third register, and writes the result back to memory — and you can stick on prefix bytes to do even more things. ARM doesn’t have anything like that; it is a strict load/store architecture where every instruction is fixed-width with a regular format and either accesses memory or performs a computation on registers.

Stuff like hardware primitives for AES/SHA, or the FJCVTZS “JavaScript instruction” don’t make a processor CISC just because they’re specialized. They all encode trivial, single-cycle hardware operations that would otherwise be difficult to express in software (even though they may be a bit more specialized than something like “add”, they’re not any more complex). x86 is CISC because the instruction encoding is more complicated, specifying
many hardware operations with one software instruction.

I’m not exactly sure whar all the “cruft” is in ARM that you’re referring to. The M1 only implements AArch64, which is less than 10 years old and is a completely new architecture that is not backwards-compatible with 32-bit ARM (it has been described as being closer to MIPS than to arm32). NEON doesn’t strike me as a good example of cruft because SIMD provides substantial performance gains for math-heavy programs, and in any case 10 years of cruft is much better than 45.

I’m curious as to why RISC-V is different or better? I don’t know much about RISC-V — but looking at the Wikipedia article, it just looks like a generic RISC similar to MIPS or AArch64 (and it’s a couple years older than AArch64 as well). Is there some sort of drastic design difference I’m missing?
That is a bizarre characterization. Many (most?) people designing and building state-of-the-art data infrastructure software, for example, are 40+ and in extremely high demand, the opposite of unhireable and they are paid silly money. This isn’t unusual.

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but when can we get some momentum behind repealing or ruling unconstitutional anti-subversion laws from the DMCA? It would be nice if this sort of thing goes to court and starts to challenge that law, but I don't think that's a likely outcome here, since the nominal case is about fraudulent advertising and no subversion attempt was really made. But it's exactly the kind of problem that the law creates and perpetuates indefinitely. It's been barely over 20 years and exploiting them has become the business model of giant swaths of our economy. The harm done to innovation, consumers, and probably honestly the productivity of the US as a whole has so massively dwarfed that of even the most pessimistic models of "piracy" and has reshaped our way of life for a generation. It's a bad law and it needs to die

Yes, in absolute terms, the number of people who have died from COVID is significant.

But your examples use random populations, which is a bit misleading because we know that the vast majority of COVID deaths are in specific populations -- the elderly, the obese, the diabetic.

Of course, some countries have seen far more deaths than others, but the statistics make it pretty clear this is because their populations are older and have more comorbidities.

See https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/04/health/obesity-covid-death-ra...

> In an analysis of data and studies from more than 160 countries, the researchers found that Covid-19 mortality rates increased along with countries' prevalence of obesity. They note that the link persisted even after adjusting for age and national wealth.

> The report found that every country where less than 40% of the population was overweight had a low Covid-19 death rate of no more than 10 people per 100,000.

As the article notes, over two-thirds of Americans are overweight so let's rephrase your question: imagine that you went to a full-capacity game at MSG and the majority of people were overweight (and 40% were obese!). Because that's what America actually looks like.

Maybe we should be thinking about that too?
