In case anyone is surprised to read this, it isn’t speculation. It’s deep in the thread but it’s indisputably there from someone who would know.

The circumstances surrounding this incident in the last 24 hours sound absolutely fucking abhorrent. I’m honestly shocked reading the firsthand accounts in that thread. Just wow.
That is nice, until you get an enemy which is much more organized and wipes all the small unions out, or plays them against eachother.

Depends on the class and the student.

I remember my highschool chem teacher harping on the class after every test "I'd like to tell you all that if you don't do the homework, you won't pass the test, but toast0 didn't do the homework and did the best on the test so do the work" (or something like that). To be fair, I'd look at the homework, I just didn't feel like writing it down and turning it in, most of the time, so for classes where grading let me skip homework and I felt I had a good grasp of the material, I skipped it.

But, for kids like me, we'll succeed im school as long as there aren't active roadblocks from staff (or other students or other life issues). I think the real question is how to help the kids that need help. How do we get them motivated and engaged and empowered to learn the material?
My impression was that being outside virtually eliminated transmission; I can’t imagine people bring deer indoor — are people nuzzling their faces into deer???
In the scope of things, capitalist republics hardly qualify for long term survival either, having practically just showed up. It sure doesn't look like it's headed for stability, either.

So, a motorbike a passes a human powered vehicle? That should come as no surprise to neither of you. :)

To be honest, I don't get the appeal of e-bikes for the type of riding you do. Getting up to 15 MPH when you're riding for 8 km in a city when stopping for lights should be no problem without disabilities on a decent bike. An 8 km ride takes 20 minutes at 15 MPH. At 20 MPH it's 15 minutes. You'd add 5 minutes off your ride and get some proper exercise.

As a reference, my grandmother rode her bike 12 miles to school and then back at the age of 10.

E-bikes make a lot of sense for longer rides with cargo bikes packed kids, trash, food and whatnot.
I am protected.
How would the general population afford electric vehicles? Are people fine with only certain classes of society being able to afford private transport, the plebs can use public transport if they need to go anywhere. Public transport isn't safe in developed nations and anyone that can, uses private transport in developing ones.
There's no nice way of saying it but anyone that's onboard with this is retarded to how the real world works.
No. The ones that don't want the vaccine (and don't have a real medical reason not to) have to take the goddamn vaccine. Their beliefs are objectively wrong, and if they want to live in society, they have to do their part.

Bodily autonomy is very important to me, but it does not mean that you are allowed to cause real harm to others' bodies.

The antivaxxers have nothing. They're ridiculous morons who try to undermine society. Meet fire with fire, marginalize these idiots if they refuse to get their shit together.
I mean we have enough rednecks to get it done. Declare open season and even provide a bounty and it could be done shockingly quick. It's probably not a good idea though. I don't know, I'll yield to the science on this one.

GDPR isn't a be-all and end-all, Dutch laws already incorporated a lot of aspects of it such as having to notify their customers prior to GDPR becoming effective.

That's not counting the secret agencies.
Absolutely, especially given the state of European electrical power production and grid, most of all Germany's. France at least has got the memo and is trying to do something about it, while Germany seems totally paralysed in this regard, which I doubt will improve with the coming administration.
Nobody except the countries we ship the old ICE cars to. Those cars that fail emissions tests end up in Central Asia.

Sometimes I wonder if we're not just shifting emissions onto other countries rather than reducing them.
In 10 years we will have forgotten that internet was mostly bidirectional.
Of course it can repeat itself. Dutch laws already mandated disclosure of a breach like this before the GDPR. The company simply didn’t give a fuck and found a legal firm that gave it license not to.

As the article noted the company operates on a “if we don’t see it and it doesn’t hurt us we don’t care” principle. Even with the GDPR, the company can still chose to not give a fuck. It just becomes a more risky gamble assuming anyone ever finds out.

"We can do the same with covid"

Do you have any evidence for this claim? It shouldn't need to be pointed out that COVID is vastly more contagious than TB. What sort of tracing system do you imagine implementing to achieve containment? You'd probably need a video record of every waking moment of every soul, subject to instantaneous remote analysis by authorities. And now the deer as well...

Huh?
The submarines establish that the US has collapsed as a result of nuclear war with China, and execute their orders to retaliate. That’s the entire point of ballistic missile submarines.
There are <$5k EVs in China (when bought new). They're not super luxurious but they exist. The west just hasn't caught up yet, but it will if there's political will.
Interested, what are the companies that have not prepared for electric in Germany and which have?

I don't really see that many Teslas here in the UK, but maybe as a percentage of new cars sold the number is quite high (and I'm sure it's a lot higher in London).

I personally know one person who's more than a year late for a hospital procedure (for a non-life threatening condition obviously) due to covid. Their life is partly on hold.

And I personally had to worry every single time my mom went for chemotherapy this summer – what if something went wrong and the hospital didn't react properly due to short-staffing from dealing w covid patients?

The antivaxxers can go to hell. They're doing real tangible harm. The vaccine does real, tangible good. There is nothing more to the story. Get the fucking vaccine.
I suspect it's either a typo or an extremely US-centric view.
If you fundamentally have a problem presenting your ideas to others, then maybe you aren't fit to work in a team.

The ability to code is less than half the battle. The other half is actually making sure the idea you have is even a good idea. Any moron can write garbage in a room alone.

The premise of the test is whether or not a person can write code that solves a problem. Which is literally the lowest bar possible for a coding interview.

How about the thought process it takes to derive a optimal solution? Maybe interviewers want to test someone who can actually collaborate with them, explain their reasoning, and logically come up with a solution? Maybe that's more akin to real life than being in a cubicle coding all day alone with 0 human contact? Hmmm...
SIMs don't have to be removable; there are re-programmable versions called eSIMs. I assume cars are more likely to use these.

The article is interesting, but I'm not certain what the schools are actually doing.

The point is measuring actual student skill, not busywork throughput or the ability to meet arbitrary deadlines. That's fine, IMHO.

But we still need an objective way to measure the skills - e.g. an exam, an in-class assignment or presentation, something like that. Students should be allowed to retake exams if they fail. But then, if students from affluent families do better (because they've got more time to study!), they should be given a better grade, otherwise things lose meaning. Maybe we could switch to performance-based learning, where students graduate later, but in the end they achieve a certain skill level.

The improvement should come from changing poor students' environment - try giving them enough room to study and the right tools - not by dropping the grade system.
It is working. Sure infections are going up but a lot less people are dying or have to go to the hospital[1]. In Switzerland you can also very clearly see the Kantons with the lowest Vaccination rates have the highest new infections now.

The "store" is in some sense a package manager and installation queue application; it still can provide value even without discovery... if nothing else, for paid products, it provides a convenient way for users to purchase the product with stored credentials and then an account mechanism to do license transfer to new devices (which is the reason why most developers used my payment system and most users wanted them to, even though I didn't force anyone to do so: I solved these problems well, which added value, particularly for the smaller development efforts that don't have the resources to pull that work in house to decrease their fee).
The german car lobby tries something different: Why not using the combustion engine with clean sources of energy?

I think its a rather clever choice to be against the end of the combustion engine when you can fuel them with something like: hydrogen, e-fuels or methanol. In Ingolstadt (Audi HQ is there) a former Audi engineer invented a car with 800 kilometres (500 miles). So there are alternatives to electric-only.
Yes, strange indeed that those imperialist Swiss, Norwegians, Danish, Japanese, South Koreans, and Canadians never want to admit that it's their imperialist ventures that made them rich. I wonder why?

This article is misleading right from the outset, and it has clearly misled a number of readers who have already commented here.

combustion engine phaseout ≠ total shift to emission-free vehicles

What's wrong exactly with an ICE that uses clean and sustainable fuel? This is what Formula 1 is aiming for. There's nothing wrong with internal combustion per se. It's just the fuel we are currently using being harmful for the environment and unsustainable that is an issue.

Although I suspect as usual this point will be particularly unpopular with the HN crowd, as it seems anything less than full electric is the Antichrist.
There is a facemask mandate in public spaces, but enforcement is often lacking.
I'd say 5-10% of shoppers don't wear masks. And no shop seems to refuse them. In my local mall, I've seen the mall manager walking around unmasked.
Realistically this could easily not happen, or not happen in quite the way we expect, with some exclusions. I imagine the used car market is already going crazy.
> I get it, traditional mail clients kinda suck, they feel bloated and janky.

I'm actually not sure about this, Thunderbird to me seems like it's pretty good: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/

The only bloat that i can think of is the calendar functionality that i simply don't care about, but that's easy enough to get out of the way. Maybe one could also have gripes with the account administration section, though that's not necessarily touched in the daily usage.

Apart from that, it does everything i need, in the simplest way possible and is as boring as it is usable. Contrasted with lots of the modern day software, i'd instead put it into the category of "workhorse" software, where LibreOffice, GIMP, KeePass, Notepad++, SourceTree/Git Cola and others live - dependable pieces of software that do what i need without many breaking changes and all that many bells and whistles. The kind that you install and forget about, maybe updating them once every few years if at all needed.
Goons screwing around with Poser was probably peak gold or close to it. The large-scale projects like Goon City and Goon Tower stick with me as inspirational with respect to what spontaneous groups of idiots can accomplish pushing in the same direction.
In the US, even before the pandemic, ICUs were typically run at very close to capacity. From Becker's Hospital Review[1]:

> For most level 1 trauma centers and tertiary care facilities, operating intensive care units at 80 percent to 90 percent capacity is standard — even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

In bad flu years, ERs are commonly overwhelmed[2] even though we obviously have vaccines that provide so-so protection:

https://time.com/5107984/hospitals-handling-burden-flu-patie...

I suspect that the situation in Europe is much the same.

Even if the vaccines continue to provide good protection against hospitalization, that doesn't mean that breakthrough infections won't have any impact on the healthcare system. As an anecdote, I just learned that a friend, who is a super fit collegiate athlete, just had a breakthrough infection and almost went to the ER because her symptoms were quite bad. She decided against it and the symptoms subsided within a couple of days, but if you hear about and read enough reports about breakthrough infections, it's pretty clear that it's not rare for "mild" cases to be pretty rough -- rough enough to have some people thinking about a visit to the hospital.

SARS-CoV-2 is well on its way to being endemic (it basically already is) so if we're being honest about getting back to normal, it's time for public health decision makers to be more realistic about the impact the virus will have on the healthcare system. Practically speaking, that means being prepared for high utilization and expanding capacity.

These proto-memes were probably independently "invented" on a lot of different forums. There was a much bigger emphasis on making content yourself back before content aggregators, which meant there was a lot of innovation going on in a lot of places. They'd sort of trickle through the internet through some sort of weird back-channel osmosis and merge and intermingle to create new formats.

I think almost anyone who spent a decent amount of time in forums aimed toward adolescents around 2000 will have had some small impact on the emerging meme format.
Don't let few primitives who spit their hate all around them poison the whole image. The thing is, if you're stupid and also wrong you don't know either of that, and facts won't change that.

> How would the general population afford electric vehicles?

I would think that the principle of economies of scale would apply in this case, reducing the cost of production. The progress regarding battery recycling will probably drive the price further down.

I'm pretty sure it's phasing it out on new cars not completely replacing old ICEs.

If anything I think 20 years is too long. Specially since these drafts always get diluted and things like hybrid motors are probably also going to be deemed 'electric'.
Of course we are, and have been doing for ages. The difference is that the trash cars end up being replaced by giant comic book spaceship cars that use the gains in fuel efficiency to add more bulk to the vehicle and still emit as much nasty. Switching to replacing the existing dirty new vehicles with electric transport won't entirely remove the problem, but it will at least stop making it worse.
Don’t let that take hold. You had nothing to do with it and deep down, you know it. If anything, you helped as best you could as some dork who stalked him on LinkedIn.

It was "EA pride and accomplishment" bad. A brainless self glorifying marketing piece that didn't spend a second to even acknowledge all the issues many channels suffered under.

The worst video on YouTube probably doesn't get actively promoted by Google or carry the weight of being made by Google.
KEF Concertos. I literally cried when I blew them up for the last time, and I could no longer get replacement parts for them.

Ironically this Washington Post article about people not seeing fact checks is paywalled.

Fact checkers have a big problem: people saying things that are outright and obviously untrue is relatively rare. Thus taken literally fact checking is not a very satisfying profession, as it would end up being dominated by trivial low impact, low status stuff like memes. As a consequence their staff leave their swimlane far too often and end up writing "fact checks" that wade into complex in-flight debates, usually by trying to claim missing context or that the wrong spin was put on something. These articles are no different to regular journalism and no more reliable.

Fact checkers also have a hard time understanding that they can make mistakes. People who fact check them back are invariably ignored. They're staffed by journalists, usually from left wing outlets, and their whole take on the process is basically just normal journalism in which the stories have a false/true/partly true label underneath the headline. There's no rigorous attempt to engineer trustworthy processes, even though the process of determining what's true or not is an extremely difficult and complicated one. Indeed that's basically the idealized version of the scientific process.

The canonization of these people via policies at tech firms makes all this 1000x worse. Because fact checkers are just lefty journalists in disguise, tech firms have effectively handed censorship control over to people with wildly ideological takes on things, and thus their so-called fact checking usually degrades into "whatever left wing authority figures say is true, is true". The result has been an orgasm of censorship in which 25 year old journalism interns have ended up blocking the views of highly credentialed experts, usually of the very same kind that are supplying them with their own counter "facts". They are so bad at this they can even end up making claims like "Health authorities disagree with this claim" about claims health authorities are themselves making!

https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/kitten-corner-are-the-cdc...

As a profession fact checking is by now totally discredited. I don't know anyone who takes these claims of people being "fact checked" seriously. It's just an annoying and overt form of ideological censorship fraudulently posing as some kind of intellectualism.
At this point, as conspiratorially as it sounds, I think this is exactly what the powers that be intend.

FYI: the fact checkers are fake:

- social media fact checking is outsourced to third parties, with unknown biases

- often the FB fact checkers are apologists, for example it's suspected that the fact checker for China stories is a CCP member, and for Islamic stories a Muslim apologist. Neither is allowed to be factual.

- it "so happens" most MSM story cycles from 2019 to 2021 were 100% fake (WIV, Russiagate, Rittenhouse WS, etc.)

> we group languages into 14 language groups based on linguistic classification, geography, and cultural similarities. We did this because people living in countries with languages of the same family tend to communicate more often and would benefit from high-quality translations. For instance, one group would include languages spoken in India, like Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, Tamil, and Urdu. We systematically mined all possible language pairs within each group.

> To connect the languages of different groups, we identified a small number of bridge languages, which are usually one to three major languages of each group. In the example above, Hindi, Bengali, and Tamil would be bridge languages for Indo-Aryan languages. We then mined parallel training data for all possible combinations of these bridge languages.

Pretty cool.

I am not a veterinarian but there are things you can do, and that is being done (for swine flu for example), to prevent disease outbreaks in animals, also within wildlife. Primarily surveillance and control.
In a sense you can see that in some online servers. For example, here in my country, a few months ago a group of streamers started a Minecraft server where they all play.

They are divided in 3 towns of around 10 people each. What is funny is that in one of the towns, one of the first they created was a "god" that they worship. Then they created boundaries with other towns and a "customs" at the border. They later elected a mayor for each town...

It's interesting to see how they mimic and create these structures when they're not actually needed.
