> areas that don't have reliable cooling available. Places like, oh, Paris

Most of Europe has extremely poor cooling of buildings even without AC. Stop making buildings black and add outdoor blinds instead of living in a greenhouse (the kind of stuff that is super common in Mediterranean countries), that will already help a lot. Trying to solve the problem with more electricity is making it worse, not better.
Do you reserve the restaurant exclusively for yourself? No. So this scenario is not really similar at all to skipping the line at a restaurant just because you visit often and tip well(which means you are paying a premium here). It's turning away the entire line for a single patron. The restaurant better make sure that's in their best long-term interest before pissing off the other patrons. Also the number of patrons willing to shell out for leading-edge lithography is probably in the single digits. TSMC can't rely on foot traffic to pick up for lost business elsewhere.

His argument is fallacious.

He's saying that since there all other variants we're susceptible to the vaccine, it's unlikely that this one is.

...and goes on to list the high number of different markers the vaccines target.

Unfortunately, vaccines largely target the spike proteins, and sequencing of omicron is demonstrating that every single protein marker on the spike is changed.

Vaccines will likely have a very small effect on this variant.

There are also two other mutations of concern that have never been seen together that each increase binding to ACE2 for cell entry.

This all needs to be formally confirmed, but this is probably BAD.

Meanwhile, today's poor have a surplus of accessible carbohydrates, and this ends up being harmful to them!

> Elderly people, many of whom received their last dose >9 months ago, are definitely at some risk again despite being technically vaxxed.

No, not all elderly people -- I was careful to put "healthy" in there, and I meant it. Honestly, I probably should have added "not obese" as well. There is not enough risk stratification happening in discussions of this illness.

But sure, at a high level, if we want to put third doses in the arms of people over 65, I think that's more evidence-based than the current recommendations.
Maybe the original author never read Chomsky.

https://chomsky.info/198210__/
The author went out of their way to hide the factors of N, presumably so that nobody else would actually be able to generate signed certificates. However, they did this by hiding half the digits of the factors.

Revealing so many digits of the factors actually allows easily factoring the original number using a version of coppersmith's method (easy as in under a second on my laptop instead of the 9 hours on a distributed cluster the authors used). This is actually a pretty classic CTF exercise.

If I'm still nerdsniped by this tomorrow I'll try my hand at implementing this and factoring the number myself

According to the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 Dashboard, as of now, Sweden has had 15,145 deaths; Norway has had 1,050 deaths; Denmark 2,863; Finland 1,309. With populations from Wikipedia (10,402,070 for Sweden; 5,402,171 for Norway; 5,850,189 for Denmark; 5,536,146 for Finland), this yields deaths per 1,000 people of:

Sweden 1.456
Norway 0.194
Denmark 0.489
Finland 0.236

Saying Sweden has "just survived" doesn't capture these numbers well, I think. If this is "embarrassing" for anyone, it's Sweden, but I wouldn't use the word embarrassing. It's tragic.

>Vaccinated people are not submitted to the same constraints (such as mandatory tests for accessing this and that) so carry the virus in more places favourable for transmission. They also don't worry as much about getting the virus (at the same time rightfully so and not rightfully so), so they give up on taking the precautions they took the previous year, and they also do not take a test when symptoms arise but remain light. All this unfortunately compensate for the fact that, individually, they are less subjected to spreading the virus.

this is complete conjecture and moreover the conditions vary by place. for my part (in england) there are no meaningful restrictions on anyone whatsoever, so this can't be the explanation. I've also heard completely opposing theories, that the _un_vaccinated aren't worried about getting the virus so they don't get tested. you can spin any theory you want. nobody knows shit.

(by the way, england currently has the lowest case rates out of the four UK countries + ROI, despite those other jurisdictions having coronapass regimes of varying strictness)

It is easier and comfortable to get a good finish with electric toothbrush. It is not a thing of advanced technology, as the mechanisms are simple, it is just they do the work well, mere brushes per second and better control of where. One can not keep such daily constant with manual ones.

The batteries last one year, or two as much, after which time you will have to recharge the brush with every 2-4 minutes of use. So do not buy the more cool LED display model, etc; just go for a basic model, as all of they are mere DC motors with basic mechanism, with basic batteries.

The bristles of the brushes, are designed for deliberately to lose stiffness after X time (or at least it is what happens with Oral-B, two months in my case), what in my village is called programed obsolescence.

The inconvenient related is I can not disinfect so often as I was used with effective liquids the brush before use it, as it hardly accelerate the programed obsolescence of the brush ( By degrading quicker the colored "paint" what maintains the bristles rigid and usable). I wonder if they degrade equally with UV...

So I am always trying to find more resistant or durable bristles compatible with my machine, hacks, brands, etc, because after using an electric toothbrush usually one don't look back, what is my case.

Covid lockdowns helped with video calls, but ever since FaceTime came out, lack of upload became way more noticeable

Also, smartphone proliferation made streaming from home NAS very convenient, as well as home security cameras and smart home features.

I disagree that current upload capacities are adequate. With 1Gbps+ upload connections standard, we might actually see privacy forward solutions that do not require us to depend on cloud services.
The gap will probably widen. Bandwidth is increasing in some cases (HBM, Apple's wide RAM) but latency is not getting any lower and there's nothing on the horizon that would lower latency. Unless your data is pretty small so that it fits completely in L3...

No, we have not. In fact, there has been a rather significant resurgence in measles over the course of the last two years. One of the many side-effects of our reaction to Covid that is not properly accounted.

Look, I'm about as pro-vaccine, pro-lockdown, pro-mask as they come.

But the hyperbolic reporting on this variant is not helpful. News articles in mainstream press are already wrong: WHO has named this Omicron (while many publications came out with Nu).

This is a virus that takes weeks to months before a variant becomes dominant. You can afford to wait a day or two to get information correct before publishing.

Edit: downvotes? Did no one remember how long it took for Alpha or Delta to become dominant? Literally months. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/?CDC_AA_refVal=http...

Take some time, get the damn details correct. You can afford a day or two before reporting to double check facts.

At least this blog had pointed out that Nu was an expected name as opposed to the actual name. But still, getting details like this wrong or speculating on the name is very counterproductive to the issue of trust.
It doesn’t make any sense to me why they gzipped the data. I’ve looked at a few real world DGCs and the “compressed” output was actually larger than the original data! Just adds more complexity for no purpose…

PL/I model was inspiration for Common Lisp condition system, which handles both recoverable (continuable) and non-recoverable conditions (akin to exceptions). Continuable exceptions are also a thing in Windows NT, though rarely seen in practice.

All of those hark back to PL/I error handling, possibly through Project MAC (which was probably bigger PL/I user than anything from IBM for a time)

Definitely any company that could afford a (then) AS/400 wouldn't look kindly on using it for gaming.

That being said, some did, otherwise these little games wouldn't exist. At one of my previous jobs, the end of the year was boring, no clients and projects would be on hold until January. One of those years I wasted a week making a crude reversi game complete with CPU player, and it was well received among the other programmers.

We tried to make a checkers game, but turns out a checkers CPU player is a lot harder than reversi for business programmers.
Whether this should be flagged depends on the flagging criteria, and I'm not sure there is general agreement on HN about 'flags'. This seems like a good place to have the conversation described by the OP, but I think that people are just flagging posts from viewpoints they disagree with these days.

At the risk of taking the conversation off-topic, this is probably a reflection of HN's changing demographics. It seems like HN is ever-more plagued by low-quality comments, such as reactions to headlines like: 'the title said rails, so I thought they were talking about Ruby on Rails, LOLZ!'. In addition to that, we have more newspaper editorials and polemics on the front page, and fewer 'nerdy' articles than ever before.

What stocks and why? This question is rather vague.
What are the _total deaths_? What is the total mortality rate?
You are right, but the ancient cdecl function call convention used by C for variable argument lists is really obsolete and it should never be used in any new programming language implementation, even if it has survived until today in various ABI specifications.

Like for the C null-terminated strings, there are many alternative ways to implement variable argument lists and all of them have already been used many years before the first C compilers, e.g. passing a hidden parameter count or implementing transparently for the programmer any printf-like functions as vprintf-like functions.

With the alternative implementations, the stack should always be freed in the invoked function, which also enables various other important features, e.g. tail-call optimization.

When I, as a European Union citizen, want to watch some videos of how to access European funds for investments on the EU Commission's website, they are all securely hosted in European Data Centers, using a nicely European-built streaming service to play them. Just kidding, they embed YouTube, an American company.

I think until the weird robed cultists that run the EU find some time between their Brussels orgies to encourage innovation inside the EU borders, we'll only be using fines and legalese to even the playing field with the rest of the world.
I dislike any ownership of the public space. I think there's a guarantee that will be used against you if you start to allow some people to own their public representations. Powerful people and corporations would love to own their public representation and limit what could be done with them. And the lines aren't going to be clear cut.

There's a conflict between the ability to document the public sphere and any right to privacy in the public sphere. And the need to be able to document the public sphere I think takes precedence. And just like you don't like all the speech in the public sphere, but it needs to be protected, you don't have to like all the documentation of the public sphere, but it needs to be protected.

One of the big problems I see with 38/400, is while it had some very innovative features, it also had some very old-fashioned ones: EBCDIC, COBOL, RPG, etc. IBM has de-emphasised those old-fashioned aspects over time, but maybe it would have been more successful if they'd moved away from them at the start?

I think it also might have been more successful if instead of porting it to POWER they'd ported it to x86 – they might have needed to add some tagged memory extension to x86 to do that, but I'm sure Intel would have been happy to talk. Indeed, the same idea has a history in Intel, if you look at the iAPX-432 and the i960, so Intel would certainly have understood the request–they might have even been excited about it. (Of course, given IBM's commitment to RISC and POWER, wasn't going to happen.)

Like a lot of other IBM systems, it became more closed over time. The System 38 had huge amounts of very detailed technical documentation publicly available. With the AS/400, much of those details moved under NDA, and it has only got worse over time. Now, you can't even write a compiler for (non-PASE) AS/400 without signing an IBM NDA, the executable format is under NDA. How closed is that!

I even wonder, what if instead they'd ported 400 to 370/390/z, or tried to make 38/400 and 370 more compatible from the start? Maybe some of these ideas might have cross-pollinated to MVS/VM/etc. A lot of what is most original about the 38 and 400 (single-level store, capability-based addressing) actually descends from the Future Systems project, a cancelled 1970s effort to design a next-generation successor to the 360/370. Maybe those technologies might have been more influential if they had a future on the mainframe? A merger of the AS/400 and 9370 (low-end mainframe) lines could have led to that.

I agree with about 95% of this, but, I don't think "travel bans got a bad name because you-know-who proposed them."

Had it been just "we're going to reduce air traffic into the country to slow the spread of the virus," I don't think that would have been terribly controversial.
