We sort of can, but it's mostly temporary on a long term scale unless you're talking about areas really far from the core of a metro. When more people move to an area, there is (generally) more economic opportunity. With that comes rising land values and demand to live in that area. As cities grow, expand, and generate wealth for the residents, they envelop the suburbs, and development makes those suburbs more urban.

If you keep those suburbs as single family housing, their value goes up tremendously at the cost of everyone else. It is not beneficial for the community at large to have these single residences in areas that could provide jobs, services, organizations, to many more people. Having more people also increases the tax base for a city compared to a single family.

> So very high spread in a local area does not necessarily mean it will spread rapidly in other settings (especially since Delta seems so good at outcompeting all these variants).

In South Africa omicron has replaced delta. Why should we expect delta to dominate omicron elsewhere?

Of course omicron may fail to be the dominant variant if there is a "better" one, but it seems more likely than not that delta will be replaced.
Would you mind providing the sources for the claim that "would overhelmingly choose the former"? I'd love to read a report or study about that.

> because consumers don't care about these things

I think that's not the issue. Consumers DO care about durable products, and consumers DO share their experience. Consumers talk to others about stuff they like all the time, and they also complain to others when stuff doesn't work. Consumers also spend a lot of time online researching products.

Amazon Reviews were amazing in the beginning, because so many customers shared their honest experience.

The problem is that as soon as there is a popular place where people go to read reviews, companies realise they can make a lot of money if they post fraudulent reviews (or send free samples to folks who write positive reviews). Products with good reviews make lots of money, so companies are going to put a lot of effort into getting good reviews.

On the other hand, consumers trying to share their honest experience don't have anything to gain from doing so, so they are not going to put as much effort into sharing their experience.
People saying this are being flagged, but the fact remains that COVID vaccines don't stop transmission.

The CDC themselves state that viral load is similar in fully vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

And yes, people have the right to refuse medical treament; that's a human right. It's there for very good reasons, and there is broad agreement among civil liberties experts on that point.
>Where covid patients fill the capacity, there are no "non-covid" wards anymore

Is that happening anywhere now? I mean, got links? I'm generously curious. There's a lot of fear mongering going around.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/09/09/bogus-okl...

This has been going on for nearly two years and governments were unwilling or unable to increase capacity in any meaningful way? What a total failure of government / medical system if this is true. The Spanish Flu lasted 3 years, it's not like we don't have a fairly recent example of how long this would probably last.
Afaict that's only for operations the vector register file. Most of the complaints about the lack of addc/subc are around how they're heavily used in JITs for languages that want to speculatively optimize multi precision arthimetic into the integer register file for their regular integer ops. JavaScript, a lot of Lisps, the MLs all fit into that space.
This specific usage comes from a foundational paper on the philosophy of mind by Thomas Nagel titled "What is it like to be a bat?" and was made popular by David Chalmers in his writings on the "hard problem" of consciousness (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_problem_of_consciousness#...). That origin is really the key to the phrase: Nagel's point was that there is no way of talking about subjective experience objectively. Rather, we always have to relate it to our own (think about how you might define subjective experience to someone else, for example).

If you buy into Nagel's argument then "something that it is like" makes perfect sense when talking about subjective experience, because the only basis for comparison that speakers have for it is themselves.

> Lastly, anyone who would overturn the status quo must provide the people with an alternative that's at least as good

Depends what "good" means. Something interesting about disruption is it often starts out worse than the incumbent in every way except one key one which people see value in. The incumbent then doesn't see it as a threat because it's so much worse, until a critical mass of users who value the one better thing builds up and the incumbent is disrupted.

I'm a firm believer disruption of big tech will work that way. PeerTube is worse than YouTube in many ways, except that it's federated. Mastodon is harder to use than Twitter for the typical user. I believe in both of them because I believe the one thing they inarguably do better (putting power back in the hands of the people through federation) is sufficiently significant, especially as faith continues to erode in the status quo gatekeepers.
Here is another version of that story, as told by Idries Shah. He attributes it to the Middle Eastern Mulla Nasrudin figure, and gives it a metaphysical interpretation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasreddin

A neighbor found Nasrudin down on his knees looking for something.

"What have you lost, Mulla?"

"My key," said Nasrudin.

After a few minutes of searching, the other man said, "Where did you drop it?"

"At home."

"Then why, for heaven's sake, are you looking here?"

"There is more light here."

According to Shah, the German clown Karl Valentin (1882–1948) used to act the story out on stage.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Valentin
Yes, lots of things happen before and after lots of other things. But figuring out causes is a lot harder than saying something happened after something else.

Regardless, if people are willing to voluntarily wear masks before they are required, like you claim, then one thing is clear: Masks do not need to be mandatory for people to wear them. Imagine if they dropped the speed limit from 70 to 50. How many people would start driving 50 a week early to "prepare"? Not many. If people are so resistant to an idea that it has to be mandated for them to do it, then they aren't going to suddenly do it before it is mandatory. And if they aren't resistant to it, then it won't take a mandate.
Cases in super vaccinated Portugal are also rising. If one is looking for scapegoats, how about locking out Romanian migrant workers, who are everywhere in construction and cleaning inside family's homes? Look how the Romanian outbreaks precede the German ones multiple times:

Also look how fast the Romanian numbers dropped. The same will happen in Germany in some weeks and politicians will take the credit.

That sounds politically dumber. "Marriage" has been normalized for centuries/millennia but now you think you can just quickly normalize another term before we solve this equal rights thing? You know, just a quick errand before we restore equal rights: change the prevailing culture and change definitions throughout a complex set of laws.

This is exactly the junior developer mindset described in the thread parent: restoring equal rights to gay people is a problem but first let's spin our wheels inventing a different terminology and taxonomy for marriage and upending legal precedent and existing case law about marriage.

Devil's advocate;

1) Number of bad actors will always be several orders of magnitude more than number of people twitter can appoint to the topic to. For example: this is the first time I'm hearing instagram-lost-password bots. There should be bots for every topic you haven't even heard about.

2) Increasing the "police" will increase the false-positives. Bots are an inconvenience, but undeserved punishment is a reason to leave the platform. Multiply this by number of connections that user has.

3) You'll inevitably hire one person who will police for fun, trolling, personal gain or religious/political/philosophical agenda for every N number of people you can hire to "police".

4) Bad actors have a lot of time, sometimes capable and rarely even well organized. They create sophisticated tools to mimic real users to "warm up" bot accounts.

5) Bad actors could be, and quite often are, from 3rd world countries. It is expensive for twitter to hire good engineers to fight them, but for bad actors, several dollars per hour could be the best thing they can do with their life at the moment.

The DC area has a better affordability ratio than most major US metro areas:
https://infogram.com/q2-2021-affordability-table-1ho16vogzgo...

That's pretty remarkable given its stature as a center of world power and influence.

That data doesn't answer the question about trajectory, though, which is what you asked. I can't find a graph that plots this stuff over time by metro, but it would be interesting to see no doubt.
Two years' credit monitoring plus, for "people who are already enrolled in credit monitoring...up to $50 per person." That looks like B.S. to me. But were I to play devil's advocate, I'd have to point out that the evidence of actual damage done is slim.
They are about 45 degrees to the right of center. I turn my head or swivel my chair.
And lockdowns can cause mortality too. In England, the waiting list for operations (these are procedures that a doctor has determined are required medically, some are elective but England doesn't do many electives because of cost) is expected to hit 12m in a few years...the total adult population in England is 56m. Ignoring the economic turmoil that they cause, ignoring the social turmoil.

There are no very good choices. But the high cost of lockdowns should dictate that they only be used when the alternative is extremely large numbers of people dying (at least in the UK, this was probably met at some point last year but hasn't been met for the majority of the Covid period).
presuming from the domain the author is Canadian and so likely this is more a proximal/recency comment on Canadian society, to which I actually do agree it is really changing.
After 2 years of Covid, I find it extremely suspect that the covid vaccines are still touted so hard as the only way to manage or exit the pandemic despite it clearly not being the silver bullet it was originally promised to be. The fact that the media and government can't talk about anything other than vaccines tells me people are not really interested in solving for anything other than selling more vaccines.
it's already pretty bad in tenant friendly areas and that's why those areas have severe housing crisis, not just in the Bay Area. Here is a more recent example:
https://reason.com/2021/11/10/developers-halt-projects-mayor...

you'd want to incentivize the private market to purchase, maintain, market to distribute housing to the masses and the government does that through favorable taxes. Making them unprofitable would put the burden on the renters + government with no private money capital injection.
We have 57 million fully vaccinated [0] people and 6 million infected/recovered [1] out of 83 million inhabitants. The recovered even have to get a shot later to keep their status as recovered/vaccinated (which exempts from the restrictions that are imposed now), so they might even be considered as a subset of the vaccinated group. More infections therefore would not have increased the total number of immune people but only cost more lives.

Beside that we can vaccinate a multiple of the number of newly infected people per day just fine. It's been about people being unwilling to get the shot, not availability of vaccines for quite a while now. Example: one day of vaccinations like yesterday (~1 Mio) [0] equals two weeks of new infections at levels like today (>73000).

I wish I could upvote this more - if I can’t do it in CloudFormation I won’t use it.
In my opinion, if as another comment hinted there is a real need then either:
a) you are unable to reach your target user or buyer
b) you are unable to close a sale
c) you onboarding experience or UX needs work (the little things needed to manage this solution day-to-day.

As the other commenter suggested, I would recommend finding buyers on Twitter and seek feedback before selling. It's easy to lie to yourself in customer interview so suggest reading The Mom Test to understand how to get meaningful feedback that is unbiased from your potential audience. You should also Tweet on your subject with a focus on the problem you are solving and why it is a problem, rather than your solution.
> We have more infected, the same number of admissions in hospital and a 15% higher death rate than all of 2020

Another really, really important piece of context is how human behavior has changed. In 2020, many people were very cautious about covid. For example, in liberal US cities like Seattle and Portland, many indoor activities were restricted pretty hard until 2021. People didn’t dine out in person, or didn’t attend the movies. In 2021, people have more or less returned to normal, less-cautious behavior. While masks are still worn, people are comfortable dining out and going to the movies and all sorts of activities.

My point is that this change in behavior is likely to “blame” for the increased cases. If people were behaving the same way a year ago as they are today, cases would have been significantly worse then.

In other words, vaccinations have allowed us to return to a mostly normal life while stopping cases from rapidly increasing. At the very least, anecdotally, in places with lower vaccination rates, a return to normal life has been accompanied by more covid scares.

Have you ever had a Cheesecake Factory Cinnabon Cheesecake? You might change your tune.

> and what works is to keep absolutely no junk food in the house or fridge

I don't eat junk food. It's been years since I bought a package of cookies or chips outside of hosting a party, which only happens twice a year. The cheesecake mentioned above is only on the anniversary of my wife and I's first date.

> Tea also helps;

I drink Coke Zero, but keep it to two cans per day, max. The rest is water.

> My salads are a whole romaine of lettuce, half a bag of spinach...

O_o I don't think I could eat that much greens in a single sitting. I did do a week where 4 lunches were salad. I split a bag of spinach into 4, added carrots, mushrooms, cucumber, grape tomatoes, ~6 oz of chicken each, and of course just a little dressing to give some extra moisture to the spinach. Felt good to be eating something healthy, but was still hungry.

I just think...there are people who seem to have a perfectly calibrated sense of hunger. If they eat a large breakfast, they won't even get hungry for lunch, and will probably have a light dinner. If they eat something really shitty like a Cinnabon Cheesecake, they eat two bites and then acknowledge that's enough, while I could probably pound two entire slices at 1370 calories and 120g of sugar EACH.

Am I defective?
Also, the government knowingly ignored warnings by the RKI (german institute for public health) saying that numbers and hospital admissions will go up rapidly in autumn.
No, this does not imply that going from 80% to 90% vaccinated could halve the number of hospital beds needed - that reasoning would only work if the vaccine completely prevented Covid-related hospitalizations, in which case zero vaccinated people would be hospitalized and Simpson's paradox wouldn't apply. What it actually implies is that at much less than 100% vaccination, you hit a point where vaccinating the remaining population does very little to reduce pressure on hospitals because most people who're hospitalized have been vaccinated, despite the fact that the vaccines do reduce the risk of hospitalization. That is, the benefits of vaccinating the last few percent of the population actually diminish rather than increasing like they would do with a more effective vaccine.
I'm not an expert, but coming from a logic background, I always think that ZK proofs are fudging the idea of "completeness" (and "soundness," for that matter). For example, in [1] (Definition 1.1):

> We note that the constants 2/3 and 1/3 are arbitrarily chosen for simplicity. We can always amplify the completeness probability to 1 − negl(λ) and the soundness probability to negl(λ) with repetition.

But that's not completeness in the metamathematical sense. That's a statistical boundary on what it takes to "convince" someone (or "gain knowledge"). But that's a stochastic redefinition of a pretty hard-line property of proof systems. In other words, you could theoretically have no knowledge and just get astronomically lucky to an arbitrary degree (whatever degree it would take to cross that proof threshold).

Benefit is the cost for enterprises. You're paying for bandwidth which'll be much lower than the regular usage to telcos.
You're however limited to data usage on this network and this focuses mostly on data
Depends on the application. But even if they are few, it's not a good reason to have them just for having a nice instruction set, that if you are not writing assembly by hand (and nobody does these days) doesn't give you any benefit.

Also don't reason with the desktop or server use case in mind, where you have TB of disk and code size doesn't matter. RISC-V is meant to be used also for embedded systems (in fact their use nowadays is only for these systems), where usually code size matter more than performance (i.e. you typically compile with -Os). In these situations more instructions means more flash space wasted, meaning you can fit less code.
And time and again the smallpox vaccine also failed to protect.

> Historically, the vaccine has been effective in preventing smallpox infection in 95% of those vaccinated. — https://www.cdc.gov/smallpox/vaccine-basics/index.html

(Other sources have numbers from about 90% to 97%). However, this imperfect protection, in enough people, was enough to do the job.
There was a paper recently circulating the media which shows the immense amount of "esoteric" people in German speaking countries. Those people are responsible for the staggering vaccination numbers and spreading of conspiracy myths around this crisis. It's so prevalent, I can't remember anyone who at least once spread some unscientific bullshit in the last 2 years here.

The handling of those people in the media and the way their opinions are presented equally with scientific facts result in this reluctance politicians displayed in this crisis. Now we all have to suffer because of it. I hope we finally mandatory vaccinations...it's overdue.
Maybe it's to guard against the possibility of revealing what's covered by an NDA by answering yes or no to increasingly-detailed questions about what is and isn't covered by the NDA?
Liability is a good deterrent in many situations but is far inferior to cooperation. Let's take an extreme example: the death of a child by a irresponsible corporation. Even with generous compensation, the family will not be made whole with the loss of a child's life.

Going back to the tree example, if a tree were to fall on the house, even if all the repairs were paid for by the tree owner, the loss in time and inconvenience will not be offset. There is also the chance that something personal is damaged and no amount of money can replace it. It is better if the tree never falls on the house in the first place.
