Not all regulations are written in blood, and not all regulations have their intended effect.

Aviation is a great example of this. Yes aviation in most of the developed world continues to be extremely safe and the regulations are largely written in blood, off the backs of many failed aviation experiments. But regulations _are_ stifling aircraft design and the FAA is trying to desperately figure out how to not calcify the industry without endangering people. Anything but your largest passenger movers are all either from the 1960s or just reruns of these '60s designs. Despite huge advances in sensor fidelity, reliability, and electronics process changes, the cost to certify a new aircraft design is so high that most aircraft makers don't bother and just coast on old designs that have already been approved and are mostly just grandfathered in designs. It's taking decades for leaded aviation fuel to be phased out because of the difficulty in iterating on engine designs due to above regulations. We could have been much farther along in aircraft energy efficiency, maybe even electrification, if these regulations weren't as onerous. (One could even make a case, though probably unsubstantiated, that had regulations not had this impact that aviation would be cleaner and would lead to lower pollution-based mortality, so a regulation that's _ensuring_ blood.) Experimental aviation and sport aviation regulations in the US are a direct response to this slowdown in innovation and I hope they pave the way for more lightweight regulatory out-valves in aviation.

Ham radio is another great example of a medium that is dying due to regulations. There's large restrictions on digital modes and encryption on multiple ham bands. Because of the internet then, Ham doesn't really offer anyone anything that they can't do on the internet, so most people these days just don't care. The regulations themselves are in place to make sure the spectrum allocated to amateurs isn't abused; allow encryption and commercial vendors will use Ham bands for their own private operations, and allowing too many digital modes could (but doesn't necessarily) increase the noise floor. That doesn't mean that regulation doesn't have a strangling effect on the medium as a whole.

It's important to remember that as technology improves, regulations may have to be rethought. I'm fully onboard with the idea that regulations need to work hand-in-hand with the market to produce desirable outcomes, but to deify regulations like this is much too coarse a filter for a complicated, nuanced issue like finance. It provides a nice fight with clearly delineated sides when you pit "regulation good" people against "regulation bad" people, but the truth is that regulations are complicated and IMO should be reevaluated in the face of change.

My one guilty pleasure as a Linux user, was using my work laptop that was managed by the IT team. It was the only way I could ever use Windows 10 and describe the experience as "pleasant". I guess the almost complete lack of forced reboots/update installations and stupid junk on the default install contributed to the experience.

I still used a Start Menu replacer. That was one thing I wouldn't want to give up.
I've been thinking about this as well. As Google search results get increasingly worse, I find myself subconsciously filtering out all the garbage and gravitating towards a small number of known sites; and, as many other HNers do, I frequently mitigate this filtering step altogether by adding add "reddit" to any search in which I'm seeking out real human sentiment.

I've done similar optimizations elsewhere to counter Google's trash results, e.g., I've been beefing up my personal recipe database, with the goal being that I can avoid a google search altogether whenever possible, only hitting google as a last resort.

More and more I wonder, with the modern internet, is it even a feature that the whole web is indexed? Might be a bug.
It's especially bad for video games, but I don't see people discuss that so much. Think about this, probably 99% of games that are over 10 years old cannot be played legally on any modern hardware (console games at least, PC games are probably a bit better, but still might require some tinkering), that's a pretty serious loss of cultural history. I think copyright needs to be shortened if publishers don't make games available in simple and reasonably priced ways. Just sell me a ROM, I'll gladly pay for it.
Just don’t do it.
>The goal is to keep serious cases to a minimum so they don’t clog the healthcare system...

Reminds me of 2 weeks to flatten the curve. Yet here we are. Why all the sudden are we at risk of clogging the healthcare system with some areas hitting 70%+ adult vaccination rates? Germany already has given out 124,401,062 doses of the vaccine. All I ever see is the goalposts being moved with this stuff.

I have taken the vaccine, but I am hesitant about mandates and vaccine passports.
It was teeth-grindingly bad even on 2GB of RAM.

Of course more people would consume the additional housing. Did you think the proponents planned for it to sit empty?

There is some rank ordering for access to housing in desirable places. They take in N households. In a market economy, a small value of N shows up as a high price. Of course a lower price would correspond to a higher value of N. That's not some kind of counterintuitive cause and effect relationship, it's the same fact.

The point is that more people get to satisfy their desires to live in cities. Living in a city stops being something reserved for the top N households.
Sorry, but what healthcare system has even tried to keep up? Instead of adding capacity and implementing targeted, fast training programmes they have been firing healthcare workers, and letting the rest get burned out. In most areas of life companies that suddenly face a surge in demand would come up with dozens of creative ways of meeting that demand - instead, governments enforced lockdowns which pushed hospitals deep into the red.

Just today there is a story about how the NHS in the UK bought all the private sector health care capacity at the start of the pandemic, and then didn't actually use any of it!

https://unherd.com/thepost/the-nhs-covid-beds-that-were-neve...

In neighbouring Switzerland the healthcare system did in fact add lots of emergency ICU capacity in March 2020. They spent the next 1.5 years getting rid of it again because it wasn't necessary. Look at their dashboard to see this.

Healthcare management is the failure nobody dare name in all this. They've had 18 months to find ways to add capacity, for a disease with no cure and that doesn't even require surgery. Instead they expect all of society to become slaves to the god of hospital beds.

What now? A civil war over vaccine mandates, let alone one with the anti-vaxers winning, is a delusional fantasy.
J extension is, as you suspected, not anywhere near ready.

The reasoning is simple. It is indeed relatively new territory. The research needs to be done, and standards should be based on solid research. This will likely take a significant amount of time.

Experimentation can be done using custom extensions, but only what's mature and proven belongs in RISC-V official extensions.
It has been happening for smoking, at least in some places. Speaking from experience in the US:

Smoking sections in restaurants have all but disappeared, taxes have increased on cigarettes dramatically, warning labels have been placed on boxes/cartons, and so on.

The process has been to try and remove second-hand smoke from those areas where it might affect non-smokers. Traveling abroad to China and Hong Kong a couple years ago it was almost unbearable dealing with people smoking everywhere.

Similar to how as a non-smoker my health risk is non-negligible being exposed to second-hand smoke, so too is my health at risk by unvaccinated individuals running around with higher viral loads increasing the chance and rate of breakthrough infections, and also increased risk of future mutations that could potentially bring about another pandemic.

Very clearly with smoking we've been moving towards a system where you can make whatever health choices you want as long as you aren't impacting the health of others - why should it be any different for vaccines of any kind?
What do you mean? The immunity doesn't kick in the second the vaccine is injected into your arm. How else should they count vaccinated vs unvaccinated? (Also note that there is a category of partially vaccinated in the stats that is people who have only received the first dose of a two-dose vaccine).

There are many treatments other than just the vaccine that can prevent hospitalization and death too. Some countries like India rely on them daily since the vaccines aren't widely available to them.

If you get infected with COVID there are far more options than "Sit around with a thumb up your ass until you have to be hospitalized and put on a ventilator".

Kind of like when searching for "jew" on Google led to antisemitic websites, that's because jews usually prefer the term "jewish".

Interestingly, back then, Google was big on neutrality and refused to do anything, stating that it reflected the way people used the word. It was finally addressed using "Google bombing" techniques. Something that Google didn't care much about back them because of its low impact.
Myocarditis risk from Covid-19 is 4x higher than from BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine.

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2110475

Vaccination was most strongly associated with an elevated risk of myocarditis (risk ratio, 3.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.55 to 12.44; risk difference, 2.7 events per 100,000 persons; 95% CI, 1.0 to 4.6)

SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with a substantially increased risk of myocarditis (risk ratio, 18.28; 95% CI, 3.95 to 25.12; risk difference, 11.0 events per 100,000 persons; 95% CI, 5.6 to 15.8)
In Louisiana we don't let people smoke in lots of places.

No smoking in schools, no smoking in restaurants, no smoking in workplaces, no smoking in public buildings.

Is that not similar to Germany disallowing unvaccinated (and not naturally immune) from non-essential indoor shopping/leisure activities? Or requiring testing for employees who are not vaccinated/naturally immune?
I don't get the obsession with ansible and terraform as CF replacements....

When I explored both, I found no way to "translate" an AWS VM into an azure VM, you have to use completely different modules and inputs.

Same for just about every module I could find... I see almost no benefit if you're working in one cloud to use a "platform agnostic" tool, if that platform agnostic tool uses platform-specific modules.

We tried terraform for making VPCs and Subnets for a simple 4-VM setup, and every module was AWS specific.

I tried it in Ansible and had the same issue

Ultimately we went with CloudFormation because, while it's not perfect either, it didn't break from minor-level module revisions on the community supported packages
> nobody has a right to spread a deadly disease

Including the vaccinated, who can still spread it, so I guess we must lock them up since they are already vaccinated, and we can't stop them from spreading the virus otherwise.

Saying that people don't have a right to spread the virus is disingenuous. The reality is that people don't have a right to be free from sickness or death. You can only make personal decisions about risk you are willing to take. To force other people to do things to make you safe is not a right.
This is correct, the two biggest plastics are polyethylene and polypropylene, which natural gas is the feedstock.
No, it wasn't. At least in my experience, Vista with 2 GB of RAM was dog slow on a mechanical hard drive. So slow, that I eventually replaced it with Linux and got my start into Linux in the first place.
But obese and overweight people are the strain on the system. That's it, to the tune of 78% of hospitalizations as of March '21[1]. I sincerely doubt the numbers have changed much since then and I'm not going to bother to look for a follow-up study. If people in the United States weren't outrageously unhealthy, this pandemic would not have caused the awfully high number of deaths that it did.

You are totally correct that obesity doesn't spread exponentially, but it exponentially increases your risk of having a bad time with this disease. This will sound harsh, but I'm not really a fan of locking down young healthy people and forcing them to put their lives on pause because so much of America can't go for a run or get in the squat rack. The conversation no one wants to have right now, because were so steeped in arguing over what vaccines - mandated or not - can or cannot do, is one about how we actually get Americans to shed some weight and eat better.

Ironically, closing the gyms "because covid" will make this problem worse.

Would you mind sharing which papers you are talking about?
Vaccinated people get infected and pass it on too, what's your point here?
I don't think this is true. The virus can survive in some for a long time. Same as with the flu. I think the endemic phase is absolutely inevitable. The only question is how long does it take, and how many people will be killed in the process. Both can only be reduced with vaxxination.
The historical consensus behind this idea is not there. Here's [1] a good example of some scholarly dissent. I'm pretty sure the truth is more complicated than advocates of the "Wildcat Banks evil" idea keep parroting.

And if you regulate those individuals, they will never trust an economic policy you push forward again, because you majorly pulled the rug, after building a ponzi scheme that they were monkeyed into taking part in.
This is an important concept to understand, but the author has an extremely pathological perspective, evidently caused by a poor paternal relationship.

Any giga-successful founder is going to have frame like a five hundred year old oak. Perhaps the archetypal example is Steve Jobs’s (in)famous Reality Distortion Field.

In virtually any pitch meeting the investor’s Bayesian prior is that you’re not worth investing in. If you can’t hold frame that you are you’re not going to make it to yes.

Another example is romantic success. The most successful persons in that field maintain a powerful frame that they are desirable to be with.

I don't care how they technically implement the icons. It's my start menu, and not their billboard. If they want ad space, they better set up a monthly payment to my account.
With unvaccinated people?

I don't see how that's an accurate comparison at all. It doesn't require people to undergo medical procedures, doesn't violate their right to their own bodies or their basic freedom
Forget how leaky they are - COVID can also be carried/transmitted by animals. For anyone who thinks all we have to do to vaccinate everyone - "everyone" includes all the animals humans do or could come in contact with. You going to do that too?
How many people even say they want micropayments? It seems like a relatively niche position even in my circles — most people seem relatively happy with the idea that their monthly costs are fixed and they don't need to think about how much it'll cost to open a link.

The proposed web3 model seems far more likely to be like those abusive micro-payment games with constant prompts to pay for something, with a page's worth of content moved behind successive paywalls since publishers aren't going to switch to a system which pays even less and you'd need to ask permission before charging someone.

This also adds problems with people who don't have money or aren't allowed to spend it (children, elderly, etc.) or the same scandals when those people are taken advantage of, not to mention the privacy impacts of effectively creating a super-cookie which can be used to track people all over the web.
Definitely money. You really think the government is just going to let you loophole your way out of taxes?

When was the last time TV’s went up in value by thousands of times, creating tons of millionaires and billionaires, and advertised itself as a money replacement? The government isn’t stupid when it comes to collecting your money.
To write a zkp you first need to have a proof. How would your proof look like here ?

In the case where you prove existence, it's easy as just knowing the object is a proof. Here it's not really a proof of existence, it's more complex.

The only proof acceptable here would be the whole tree starting from this point. This seems too complex to use in a zero knowledge proof
Microsoft somewhat already did the work needed to migrate of windows by making Active Directory and Group Policy irrelevant.

With office 365 and intune you can essentially have the same control as traditional AD joined machines actually Intune probably has better management than GPO these days.

The only thing that is still missing for corpo is Intune for Linux and even that isn’t 100% required as long as there will be Intune for Edge on Linux, once you can manage the browser the majority of the controls the organization needs are handled.
>There's not even a need to look at the research, which shows RISC-V as the clear winner in code density. It is enough to grab any Linux distribution that supports RISC-V and look at the size of the binaries across architectures.

Wait, if we are talking about actual ISA instructions, why is it hard to believe that RISC-V would have more of them ? The argument in favor of RISC is to simplify the frontend because even for a complex ISA like x86, the instructions will get converted to many micro-ops. In terms of actual ISA instructions, it seems quite reasonable that x86 would have fewer of those (at the cost of frontend complexity).
> So it's more virulent, but less bad

I think you mean more transmissible, less virulent.
>whether it's slower or faster doesn't matter in the end, it will spread until it's endemic.

I'm not sure this is reasonable to assume. Below a certain threshold of transmissibility any virus (including this one) will die faster than it spreads, leading to eventual extinction of the virus.
> People like to use the term free market to describe the optimal market system, but that's pretty lousy terminology. The truth is, functioning markets are not "free" at all. They are regulated. Unregulated markets rapidly devolve into monopolies, oligopolies, monopsonies, and, if things get really bad, libertarianism. Once you arrive there, every thread ends up with people posting about "a monopoly on the use of force" and "paying taxes at gunpoint" and "I'll run my own fire department" and things that "end at the tip of the other person's nose," and all useful discourse terminates forevermore.

Hear that, libertarians and "free market" fanboys?
Making the virus extinct has nothing to do with reality; it's an utterly unrealistic expectation.

If you sincerely think we can make COVID extinct you might want to do some more research into real science and less propaganda.
> If I want to support a specific policy or candidate or the like on my private property by putting out a sign in their favor, necessarily I must have the right to prohibit anyone else from putting out any signs on my property supporting whatever else. They may do so on their property, but not mine. If the government requires me to allow everyone to put up a sign supporting everything, it has the same effect as supporting nothing.

However the government does allow political signage in public places and has laws preventing others from removing them. However if said signage is considered by the local government to be inappropriate then it is removed. So how is a social media platform different than that public arena?

The problem I've seen is that places like Facebook and Twitter have moderation that is clearly biased. The Hunter Biden laptop story is a perfect example...they restricted the sharing of the NYP story despite no evidence that the article had any misinformation in it (still a factual story). This is no different than if you had political signage on your property and the government built a wall right outside your property to block anyone from seeing it. Are they restricting your 1A rights...technically no, but realistically yes.
> it's the same thing as the flu.

Not at all. How many people experience long-term crippling effects from the flu?

BTW, the care we are taking has reduced the number of flu cases too.

And even if it were just a flu for you, there’s a 3% chance each person you infect will die a horrible death after a month of agony.
What were your symptoms?
Even if this was true (which it isn't) the main difference is that you have only minor "lockdown"-measures in Denmark right now which is very different compared to 2020. Vaccines push down the R-Value significantly so you can keep everything open while still having a manageable pandemic.

Please stop spreading lies & anti-scientific propaganda. Vaccines don't prevent the spread of COVID.
It appears that this is from October 2020 with some links updated in January 2021. So, it's nearly a year old. My citation is from November 2021. Surely we've learned a significant amount about COVID in 2021.
