I'm sure many people here have been the victim of repeated security breaches. I feel like all the criminals have my info already. The best I can do from my end is compartmentalize risks by using different email addresses, phone numbers, logins, and passwords everywhere. But it isn't practical to do that either (particularly with phone numbers). We need to solve that problem, and we need to introduce actual fines and jail time for these breaches.

Looks sharp! I've worked with WPF quite a bit in the past and still think it's the nicest UI framework from a developer perspective. How's the performance these days? Compared to plain Win32 applications, I remember it feeling very sluggish once your WPF application has a few dozen controls.
It seems like it might be bad for computers, but good for embedded.
Additional problem is that when doctors that are against mass vaccinations (like inventor of the mRNA vaccine) want to debate no-one mainstream want to talk with them besides anti-vaxxers[0][1].

Everyone will get this virus. Countries that do good now will do bad later and countries that did bad now we do good later. It's all inevitable. All you can do is take it on the chin or delay it. Every country has predetermined number based on their population demographics and health, that they will hit and there's no thing we can do about it.
> It’s an optional service the state provides to many many*

This is essentially the power of attorney portion of my post. Perhaps it would be more inclusive if we just had a way to grant certain checkboxes and options to certain individuals. eg I could grant financial decisions to my mother, friend, cousin, and could even give a time limited grant to a girlfriend like "For the next year you can make life and death medical decisions for me" or whatever.

Sadly i dont see it happening because our government is so archaic
It's true that rewriting everything is not always the right answer and that fixing existing systems is underrated. However, there are very few instances in history of systems being indefinitely fixed and upgraded. Most societies were not gradually improved and reformed forever: eventually they fell and were replaced with new societies. The same is true of technology and companies: most technology is eventually completely replaced with newer, better technology that is inspired by earlier technology but that is still new. The cool thing about DeFi is that it has built-in ways of upgrading itself. In traditional systems, upgrades are more centralized and have a single point of failure: once that point of failure (eg the developer/maintainer) stops upgrading, the system dies.
Hence the need to isolate the unvaccinated, to protect them so they don’t get these new breeds and don’t make new ones based on them that reinfect the larger population.
It seems you're not understanding the German situation. But also: consider that your theoretical argument made out of anxiety for some imaginary totaliarism makes, in today's context, no sense:

Triage is happening and people with better chances of survival (e.g. everyone vaccinated) are getting the beds. So already "antivaxers are treated less like humans".
Good point. I've got about half a dozen websites that all share the same IP. I've been doing that for over 20 years now.
Something something bad design, give me my upvotes for saying what everyone else already said.
Given Germany's track record on human rights, you'll forgive me I don't believe you... or your government.
What's the technological equivalent of regulatory capture of trusted governance roles?

1. system control plane with security vulnerabilities, where the first attacker can lock out subsequent attackers?

2. corporate board without poison-pill, special class of shares with extra powers, or other defenses against hostile takeover?

3. corporate or IP acquisition due to debt, market failure or poor fiscal governance?
while LA (city) is denser than most people realize, LA (the region) is decidedly not dense overall, as large portions are low-to-mid density, choked by a tangled glut of roadways, and pockmarked with mini-downtowns intermittently. (poor) zoning is absolutely a significant factor in limiting supply artificially, which in turn backstops, and moreover propels, pricing.

you might be making more of a sociopolitical argument, that the rich are going to eat all the gains and more, while crowding out everyone else, through mechanisms like regulatory capture. that's possible, but the substance of that argument is not coming through very clearly amidst the economic tangents. it still doesn't support the idea that below-market mandates are necessary to bring prices to any natural, or artificially manipulated, affordable equilibrium. note that in a rich-eats-everything-world, we'd not have enough tax money to make housing artificially affordable. if the rich can dominate real estate in that way, they'd surely dominate tax policy in their favor as well.
It's flawed from the get go if reddit is the basis.
Why do people think a paid tier will prevent their data from being sold after pocketing it? Aside from that if they go bankrupt then it isn't theirs to not give away anymore for one.
No, it is not.

Cloudflare is giving it's customers what they want. They don't want all kinds of bots claiming to be search engines crawling their sites. Cloudflare isn't hurting cloudflare competitors by doing this. Cloudflare isn't hurting their customers by doing this. To repeat - most websites don't want lots and lots of crawlers. They want the 2 or 3 which matter and no more, because at some point it's difficult to tell what the crawler is doing... (is it a search engine???). They aren't obliged to help search engines. Even if Cloudflare wasn't offering this, bigger customers would roll their own and do.. more or less the same thing.
No, it's not the goal. The goal is also not to split society in two and create a group that'll hate everyone forever, just because our leaders can't own up to their mistakes. The goal is to get through the pandemic best we can, and keeping societal values and principals intact should be an important part of that.
> prudent drafters include severability clauses

yes, but we dont get to draft the law/contract that is marriage -- that's done by law makers. IIRC even a pre/postnup cannot contradict law.
Yeah, it's a filter we actually got from management at one company. They were looking for specifically agreeable type of developers. It was a consultancy and they needed to put 5 more developers on one of their big clients, and the client was getting sick of the previous people we had there; they were constantly fighting back against their idiots of managers.

Boss wants employees to write many hours, not have a weekly phone call from the client asking to replace another team member...

Agreeable people also stick around longer, because they think loyalty pays, and agreeable people rarely negotiate a good salary.
I agree that is the only way but it better be my day off when the lockdown happens. How would nursing home staff stay locked down? Or other people critical to ensuring we have power or that our water treatment plants keep running. But I do agree a more aggressive lock down could work but we will never be able again to do something like that. Not unless it starts killing people like Ebola and everyone in those jobs says screw it I quit and walks away.
Likewise, I used it for letters and school papers. Its time was brief but it was fully functional, not just a demo.
I think it's material if people felt certain rules were invasive (which they were). And that was my point -- such people may be less inclined to follow certain guidelines in later phases of the pandemic.

> The lockdowns decisively killed the spikes and prevented untold harm.

I don't think that is definitively true. Florida hasn't been locked down at all with zero mandates since last June and while it's certainly not rainbows, it's not nearly "untold harm" either.

Did it "kill spikes" or just delay them to some degree?
So what I'm reading is Intel ordered the FTC to dismantle any potential competition.
Then, the villain was Jews. Now, the villain is a virus. Incomparable.
I asked if you can prove that they stop hospitals from being overwhelmed, not whether they were effective. So far it's not looking very good, is that why you support the decision to mandate the shots?
Why? No evidence is needed that vaccine mandates are justified, as if evidence were required it'd fail immediately given the low and falling efficacy, that vaccines are individual protection so it doesn't matter what other people do, and given that hospital capacity is the problem of the hospital providers to solve and not their customers (this is fairly basic).

But hey, if you disagree with that last bit and think hospital staffing is everyone's problem, be aware that this sword cuts in both directions. It actually makes it super easy to argue for banning vaccines. Here's the argument they'll use:

1. Vaccines aren't entirely safe. They can cause blood clots, strokes, heart attacks and many other kinds of injury.

2. The injured end up in hospital, consuming medical system capacity which takes it away from the people who opted out and didn't take the vaccines. Possibly for life, in some cases.

3. This is selfish because many of the people who took vaccines and got injured are young and weren't at any meaningful risk of COVID. They did it to themselves despite knowing there were risks, because they were incorrectly scared, or authoritarian, or whatever, but now society has to take care of them anyway.

4. And in addition the unvaccinated are now almost all recovered, and they have natural immunity for life. The vaccinated on the other hand, are now dependent on endless booster shots which not only injure new people on every round but are also are extremely expensive and taxing on the healthcare provisioning system, meaning less resources available for everyone else. Proof: the UK has just started cancelling operations to free up healthcare resources for booster shots!

Thus, the vaccinated are a drain on the healthcare system and should have their freedom to choose endless boosters removed - or at the very least, they should be forced to pay for them themselves (and any subsequent healthcare issues they experience).

You may not like the above argument (I don't!) but it is not fundamentally different to the ones being deployed in this thread. And if the unvaccinated become the majority, as may easily happen given that vaccinated people will constantly be joining them as their status expires, then nothing in theory stops such an argument being made (although in reality the public health establishment would never go along with it).
You posted a tangentially related source to your claim and I posted the correct context of this claim.

It clearly shows that ICU beds decreased involuntarily and actually as part of the healthcare system starting to fail due to exhaustion. It actually underlines the point of GP you responded to.

But yes, German public funded organizations are notoriously inflexible when it comes to attracting employees due to tons of bureaucratic red tape.

I don't see the relevance of a defense in court here. How about we stay on topic?
The legality of the government forcing a medical procedure for the common good been decided by the supreme Court nearly 100 years ago. There is no specific "liberty" that is being violated here.
All other things equal, you would prefer smaller code for better cache use.
RISC V is an opinionated architecture and that is always going to get some people fired up. Any technology that aims for simplicity has to make hard choices and trade offs. It isn’t hard to complain about missing instructions when there are less than 100 of them. Meanwhile nobody will complain about ARM64 missing instructions because it had about 1000 of them.

Therein lies the problem. Nobody ever goes out guns blazing complaining about too many instructions despite the fact that complexity has its own downsides.

RISC-V has been designed aggressively to have minimal ISA to leave plenty of room to grow, and require minimal number of transistors for a minimal solution.

Should this be a showstopper down the road, then there will be plenty of space to add an extensions that fixes this problem. Meanwhile embedded systems paying a premium for transistors are not going to have to pay for these extra instructions as only 47 instructions have to be implemented in a minimal solution.
In theory, if no household has any contact with any other household, the virus will be unable to propagate and will quickly die off.

A perfect lockdown would stop a human-only pandemic immediately by stopping all transmission.

Unfortunately, this virus infect other animals as well. Good luck locking them down.
Why?

I mean... we let people smoke and die due to that... why not due to covid too?

The vaccines are too weak to actually achieve herd immunity, so pretty much everyone will get in contact with covid, sooner or later,... some will beat it by themselves and some will, sadly, die.

If people want to take the risk of covid, why force them? I got vaccinated and I don't care if some people don't want to do it.
And how exactly does this statement now help to address the situation?
I think the biggest unsung problems in this saga, is actually one of marketing.

The average person has experience with vaccines that have 3 properties: (1) long lasting, (2) prevent contagion (3) and major symptoms. By calling the mRNA shot a vaccine , the WHO and CDC transferred such properties to the shot. That may have been great for encouraging adoption, but also comes with consequences particularly if two vaccine properties fail to hold, and a 3rd is not flawless.

This was never made clear by anyone of relevance - instead the mantra was "take the shots and all will be well". We oversold the solution.

People took the shots, then behaved as if nothing else mattered. Dropped masks. Started going nuts.

Now we see the results.
I agree, I think we are looking at the problem wrong. And this is a very insightful comparison with the linkedin levels of connections idea. I am working on something with this.
One thing to point out is that when we think of searching through information, we are searching though an information structure aka graph of knowledge. Whatever idea or search term we are thinking of is connected to a bunch of other ideas. All those connected ideas represent the search space or the knowledge graph we are trying to parse.
So one way in the past people have tried to approach this is they try to make a predefined knowledge graph or an ontology around a domain. They try to set up the structure of how the information should be and then they fill in the data. The goal is to dynamically create an ontology., Idk if anyone has really figured this out. But, Palantir with Foundry does something related. They sorta dynamically create an ontology ontop of a company's data. This lets people find relationships between data and more easily search through their data. Check this out to learn more https://sudonull.com/post/89367-Dynamic-ontology-As-Palantir...

No, vaccinations are how we get out and people who are medically able to get them and don’t are hurting each and every human on this planet due to their own hubris.
So, how is paying a fine (as in eg. greece) not a form of "force"? In one way, if you're rich, you can pay for your right not to wear a seatbelt.. i mean, get the vaccine, but for normal people, the current measures are basically them being forced to do something that they don't want to do.
In the US, it's because a bunch of demagogues have decided that they will make a lot of money (or retain political power) by saying that vaccines don't work and/or are harmful. Fox News regularly spews this kind of nonsense in its programming and a number of Republican politicians are happy to go along with it.
> Had he not posed with an assault rifle in the first place two people would not be dead today, he is still morally responsible for that to me.

So basically Rittenhouse 'morally accountable' for not foreseeing the unforseeable. How silly.

Rittenhouse attended a protest while legally carrying a firearm. 2020 had seen tens of thousands of people do the same. How many people were forced to fire their guns in self-defense at a protest? I can't think of a single one. Any risk he was incurring would have been remote and purely hypothetical. For that you hold him morally responsible for these men's deaths?

What about the actions of those men who he killed? Unlike Rittenhouse's attendance at the protest, their decision to attack Kyle Rittenhouse was decidedly not legal. Unlike Rittenhouse's choice to attend the protest, which carried only hypothetical danger, his attackers would have had no doubt that attacking a man with a gun carried risks that were neither remote nor hypothetical.

Remember, when conflict seemed imminent, Rittenhouse ran away, attempting to avoid conflict. His attackers chased him down and forced the issue.
I've been using Altavista at that time, every now and then switching to Northern Light. Everything else was abysmal. Google blew them out of the water in terms of speed, quality, simplicity, unclutterdness and everything else. I can't remember ever retraining muscle memory so fast when switching to Google. So, no, Google has been great then and apart from people actively working against the algorithm is still good now, but obviously a completely different beast.

The 7-day R-value with current vaccination rates and local restrictions, yes.
And

1. The recommendation to take the vaccine goes exactly against anything the doctors said pre-covid. Before covid, nobody would recommend you to take a vaccine against something you are not in a risk group for, and double doses and boosters were unheard of. This makes me suspicious, and I don't think that is unreasonable.
2. You get really sick from the second dose of the vaccine, which also is not normal, you are not supposed to get sick from vaccines, you are supposed to take them to avoid getting sick

So the whole vaccination situation is something that's new and confusing, why do what my doctor always said to not do? Why get sick from vaccines, aren't they supposed to stop you from getting sick? Why double and triple vaccines?
It isn't up to them to give everyone a fair shot. That isn't what their customers actually want. Cloudflare aren't in the "fair shots for all search engines" business. They are in the "stop requests you don't want hitting your servers" business.
> Nobody knows if a vaccine mandate leaves people behind it tropes. You cannot know it, because it hasn't happened.

An immigrant friend went homeless after Berlin required places like hotels & accommodation houses to be 2g (tested or recovered) only.

He got his vaccine as he wasn’t against them in the first place, he was just a wreck less dumb person. I would argue that other measures would have been less catastrophic while still “punishing” the individual.

Isn’t this an example of being left behind on a similar policy? If I misunderstood you, then my apologies.
Given Japan was a nation where a certain class could execute summarily anyone below them, for something as germaine as insulting them, and given what Japan did to Chinese civilians during World War II, you'll forgive me if I don't look to their 1870s ideals as inspiration for living in 2021.
> I think I'd rather some people be vaccinated without their consent

Read the book "Ordinary men" (by Christopher R. Browning). Normal people, like you and me, had "very good" reason to do what they did when they did it.

Sorry, that's unconvincing at best.
Your arrogance is in the timescale your assumption operates in and not seeing the interdependence between man, nature, and unknowns.

This is incredibly arrogant. I'm not using the word in the pejorative sense (I'm not calling you names), but in one that's better described as hubris.
Is it, to some extent, a problem of naming and terminology?

When vaccines were first introduced in the UK, there was a great deal of discussion about ethics of forcing people to get them. One really cool view was, of course you can’t force people to inject a chemical into their bodies. But if people choose not to get vaccinated, it’s on them to reduce the risk to others - ie basically subject themselves to lockdown.

I think this is harder to argue with than “forced vaccination”. Sure, don’t get the jab if you don’t want to, but what are you doing instead to not endanger others?
Yes. Here's some tabular data on hospitalizations and deaths vs. vaccination status[1] Those are easy to monitor. How well vaccination prevents infection is harder to determine.

Also remember, this is still the first generation of vaccines. There are some nasal spray vaccines in testing which look to be much more effective in preventing infection.

We could do that for smoking too, but since smoking is a choice, we let people smoke and die. Why not do the same with the vaccines? As with smoking, the unvaccinated are taking all the risks.
What an absurd thing to suggest.

You won't be physically forced to, but you also won't be allowed to do most of the things we normally consider that people have a right to do unless you comply. That's really a non physical way of forcing compliance (like saying I'll fire you from your job unless you agree).
So it will be "voluntary" by imposing successively higher fines until you cannot pay. Then your credit score will be ruined, you can't pay rent and join the homeless. Completely voluntary, just like compulsory state television fees.

Incidentally, both state radio fees and mandatory vaccination were immensely popular in the Third Reich.
What do you mean by skin on top of WebKit? WebKit itself just renders the web page. The browser manufacturer has to build an entire browser and decide how to treat user privacy for example, does it have telemetry and what kind, whether to use native controls or not, what browser features to implement like reader mode, how to handle multiple tabs, gestures etc.. Calling that a skin is same as calling Vivaldi a skin of Chromium disregarding the effort made to make it different.
