> So true and not mentioned enough by the media.

This is nonsense. The topic has been in the news almost from the beginning of the crisis. The government is being constantly criticised for that. Why do you people repeat this? It's a lie.

The fact that this topic is now being used by anti-vaxxers to cloud their anti-social behaviour and shift the growing anger of the vaccinated population away from them is ridiculous.

There are two issues here and stacking hospital beds and personal would not make anti-vaxxers better in any way.
I've always been curious to see how project owners respond to someone re-implementing portions of paid features in an open source project.

Assuming the patch is valid, do they decline it citing the paid feature or do something like making a straw man argument against it?
Aside from the absurdity of comparing recommended vaccination as a responsible social welfare act to the murder of children, the comparison isn’t even apt. My point was about short-term and critical healthcare resources, and the eugenics argument was about long term waste of societal resources. If anything, the smoking comparison is a little more apt because smokers ARE long term drains on societal resources. But still no one is arguing about killing smokers.
Sorry to hear that MrDresden. I hope your partner's care is successful going forward and it can be expedited as a high priority case.
It's a kind of bikeshedding

Any other thread on HN might only attract comments by people with a genuine interest and knowledge of the subject, because if I don't care about some thread about Rust I just won't comment.

Of course, everyone has an opinion on vaccine mandates, so this thread has about 50x the average responses.

Out of which 12 millions went to the Ethereum foundation. The other 60 millions were given to people who crowdfunded the project (and they did it using BTC). The ETH supply has more or less doubled since now. The Ethereum foundation holds today about 10% of all Ethereum and as far as I know they are "locked" in a smart contract.

One can criticize Ethereum and crypto as much as he wants, Vitalik Buterin (the creator of Ethereum) seems someone to be driven by something he believes in and not by money. If you read his blog posts / Twitter feed / comments on issues / EIP etc. the dude is relentless.
I recently applied for a job in a data warehousing team that was using this. The way they were using it replace their transformation stage from legacy tools like SSIS,DataStage and Informatica, It was certainly impressive and looked great to work with. I can see dbt becoming a lot more common moving forwards.
> Furthermore, the vaccines don't prevent transmission,

They do prevent transmission, since they make people less likely to be infected, and if you're not infected with the virus you won't transmit it. The vaccines are somewhat less effective at preventing people from being infected at all than they are at preventing hospitalization and death, but still significantly effective. [1]

Disclaimer: I am fully vaccinated and have had the booster shot.

From US perspective...

What I find ironic is:

President Biden, Anthony Fauci, White House Press Secretary all said they would "never mandate vaccinations" and it's "not the place of the federal government to mandate vaccinations" and that they believe "it doesn't have the authority to do so anyway"...

And since when do we not care about the minority? Also when it comes to medical decisions about my body the government shouldn't have a say in it.

On top of all that the effectiveness of the vaccine and it's longevity leave a lot to be desired. This ain't no polio silver bullet and the virus continues to mutate and break through even the most vaccinated populations.
No, they were rather locked out of participating is all life outside of the home or forest unless they accept the injection
Where I live the most militant anti-vaxxers are from the left (greens / environmentalists / "hippies")

This is not surprising at all considering they're generally skeptical of corporations, GMOs, big pharma, etc.

Where are all the apologies from outraged HN comments and media (Krebs looking at you) now? The “breach” news broke and everybody immediately backed the whistleblower and condemned the big evil tech company. Turns out the whistleblower was manipulating and lying in order to try and extort Ubiquiti and receive a BTC ransom. Funny how you don't see the same "media" issuing a redaction or apology for the damage they caused to the stock price of Ubiquiti or tarnishing their brand and reputation.
This is why, in the good old days, my favourite search engine was Alta Vista. In its left margin it had arranged key words like a directory tree that could be used to further refine the search. So my ideal search should do something like this if I type in a generic term: provide me with relevant information about the general topic and than help me to refine my search. The way of Wikipedia to provide a principal article and a structured disambiguation page is the way I would prefer.

I admit, my evaluation of the search engine was just a simple test how much I can get out of the results for some generic key words in the first place. A more detailed evaluation should, of course, look deeper. It was more of a test balloon to see if this search engine raises any hope that it could be better than Google with regard to my own (subjective) expectations of a decent result set.

You're still just talking about jabbed vs unjabbed.
Thumb2 is a thing. Thumb is purely 16 bit instructions. Thumb2 is a mix of 16 bit and 32 bit instructions.

As an illustrative example, in Thumb when the programmer writes "BL <offset>" or "BX <offset>" the assembler creates two undocumented 16 bit instructions next to each other which together have the desired effect. If you create those instructions yourself using e.g. .half directives (or if you're writing a JIT or compiler) then you can actually put other instructions between them, as long as you don't disturb the link register.

In Thumb2 the bit patterns for BL and BX are the same, but they are an ACTUAL 32 bit instruction which can't be split up like it can in Thumb.

Not unlike my situation -- Loved working on a 13" laptop screen (with 4 virtual desktops to help with organizing), but a change in my duties at work had me working with 2-3 large spreadsheets at once, so I went to two large external monitors side-by-side and it's a god-send.

Really? I did about a year of it and I must admit it was not a fun year (~2014, so a while ago). Styles and binding were so overly verbose, and I felt like I was constantly fighting the tooling. The dev loop was horrible compared to anything related to building UIs for web apps. Interested in your experience and why you think it is a really nice UI framework from a developer perspective?
It's really disgusting. Some politician invented that "obligation is not enforcement" talking point and now all those tag-alongs just repeat it without thinking about it for a second.

An obligation that is not enforced is not an obligation. A decision that only stays voluntarily as long as everybody complies was never voluntarily in the first place.

I'm usually a very phlegmatic, law-abiding citizen but man, where does this love for newspeak and doublethink come from, all of the sudden?
Good point. Minimum fee of $100?
It's a similar thing IMO. WPF is understaffed to the point where it might as well be dead in my mind.

It hasn't received major new features in a decade. It's currently owned by the Windows team (not the .NET team) and they have staffed it with a skeleton crew. They don't even have bandwidth to review most community PRs.

Even the .NET team doesn't get responses to issues they raise on the WPF repo: https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/issues/3811

Adding to all that, WPF has a massive dependency on C++/CLI which means it cannot take advantage of many new .NET features until that is rewritten. And from what I can tell (from the outside) that will never happen.
Absolutely not. I’m Swedish and lived in NO and DK during the last 2 years. Every time I went home and could live life like normal was godsend.
Its probably just time delayed. Give it a few months. The vaccine protection seems to wear off rather quickly, based on data from UK and Israel.

You are expected to allow yourself to be subjected to whatever injections and suffer whatever loss of human dignity for the purpose of some vague "risk-reduction" that ultimately will contribute little towards the actual goal which is never clearly defined and is subject to eternal revision (only in good faith though :)). You are expected to do this to your children as well.

I have never really understood what 'modern' means whenever someone shows their new library / framework / tool.

We're mostly just re-hashing ideas from the 60s and the 70s anyway.

I think modern simply means "similar to what big tech does". So those ugly characters with big arms and small heads? Modern. Flat design? Modern. Is it good? Who cares, it's modern.

When it comes to GUI it looks like we are slowly converging back to Windows 3.1 in terms of visual and programming style. Is it modern?
By not getting vaccinated aren't you a danger to others who are not vaccinated?

On the other hand, I don't care if you choose to be fat or smoke yourself to death, that won't harm anyone.
Why not?

China and Russia are ramping up on military presence, maneuvers, and armament. Our top businesses are constantly under attack by nation state actors. I've witnessed a few attacks directly.

I'd be willing to bet that there will be some action taken in Ukraine and Taiwan within the decade, possibly simultaneously.
I don't understand how this merger substantially lessens competition.

Step 1: acquire ARM

Step 2: make life more difficult for other ARM license holders and/or easier for NVidia

Step 3: be the only viable supplier of ARM chips

I'm not seeing how this scenario warrants more scrutiny than "normal".

Speculating: maybe the old "normal" was too low, this was just the easiest first move, and other more difficult antitrust moves are in the pipeline.
In Germany, the majority of the cases are from unvaccinated people getting sick and infecting other people

https://rocs.hu-berlin.de/publication/maier-2021-germany/
In general that helps with everything.
You make a good point re vaccinating lower risk patients. In the UK, not only the population has a high vaccination rate, but the rate is particularly high among the population at risk (~95% for the >70yo [1]). As a result, hospital cases and deaths are a fraction of the Jan 2021 peak, even though infection levels are high.

That's for the demo site. These limitations aren't inherent to the bigbluebutton platform. If you deploy it on your own machine (It's suggested to do it on servers not VMs but for small teams it may be more than enough) without such limitations.
That's not a great analogy, you can't redeem currency at a bank.

My understanding is that stable coins are stable because they claim to be backed 1:1 by some other currency. If they are not actually doing that, then thats a fraudulent statement, isnt it?
The point is that jabbed versus unjabbed takes precedence over the 3 above listed categories. If everyone who can be jabbed is; then the above 3 categories need not apply, even in the case of omicron. This is especially the case if a booster is given, creating secondary immune response to Sars-CoV-2.

Yes, there will be some immune escape but many of the antibodies that are acquired via boosters will cross react with omicron.

> 115 new cases of COVID today in a country of 120 million during the Delta wave. It's a mystery I tell you. A complete mystery.

They value all those things just as much as you do, they call some of them different names.
And they don't believe that 'the other side' actuals exemplifies or actually values those things. Every lie they see coming from people in power (masks don't work, two weeks to stop the spread, the vaccine will fix this all) makes them less trustworthy.

I'm sure what you are saying is true but it doesn't really address the problem at hand. The bird has flown the coup and now action needs to be taken to save lives.

Absolutely agree with you about hospital/medical resourcing though, we have the same situation in Australia. In the name of efficiency these services get paired to the bone, and we have no capacity to respond to unusual events.

The Neo liberal worldview posits that redundancy is bad. I think Western countries in general are suffering from this Anorexia. It cripples innovation as well.
Nice find. If it was VA like the SQ2825 I’d buy it. (Just a personal preference, IPS glow bothers me and I want the higher contrast of VA panels.)
Because in a Taiwan scenario, China almost certainly would attack US Satellites.

And vice versa: USA would want to stop Chinese Satellites, so that they are blind to the movement of our carriers.

Frankly, I'd expect that the Space Force is already conducting testing-level operations against our opponent's satellites.

From temporary blindness (this laser-thing they're talking about), to permanent disablement (missile, like Russia's test). Maybe the US isn't so gaudy to publicly create space debris like Russia, but I'm sure we have weapons in development that can do the same thing.

> Edit: The "space force" needs to justify its existence, and this is a way for them to do it. Why haven't we heard about this before?

"Space Force" always existed. Or do you think that the US Army doesn't use GPS or Spy Satellites?

The issue with before, is that we used to have a Space-component for US Army. Then a 2nd space-component in the US Navy. Then a 3rd space-component in the US Marines. Finally, we have a 4th space-component in the US Air Force.

This was stupid. We removed the space-elements in our 4 branches and combined them into a singular 5th branch. Instead of redundantly creating 4 different space branches subservient to 4 different organizations, we can have one branch focus on the space stuff, and the other 4 branches asking the 5th guy for support as needed.

If anything, Space Force is going to be a hell of a lot cheaper than the stupid organization we had before.
The vaccine is not the virus? If you are under 60 without serious health issues COVID is indeed no worse than a bad flu for the vast majority of people. Certainly not a guaranteed death sentence, let alone guaranteed hospitalization. Especially if treated as soon as detected instead of letting people sit around and get worse until they have to be hospitalized.
