How can you do that by only vaccinating humans. You do know COVID is carried by animals too, right?

You going to vaccinate all the animals too?

Or just dogmatically stick to the "unvaccinated people are selfish" because it best fits your political world view - damn the science?

Want to make this virus irrelevant? If Omicron is as mild as the doctors in South Africa are reporting then here is our path to herd immunity. Which is going to happen no matter what governments fuss and fume about. Even New Zealand finally gave up on their ridiculous quarantine strategy.

They floundered in the 90s by having no focus and no vision from a myriad of shitty CEOs. What brought them back to profitability was simplifying the line and making products that people actually wanted to buy in the iMac and then the iPod. Then the iPhone. I really don’t think their shitty working conditions for their retail employees is what is keeping them profitable.
Wow, fantasy campaign is the first crypto-native game that actually looks like it could be _fun_ (as an avid gamer, it pains me to see stuff like Axie Infinity as the poster child for "web3 games"). A roguelike with re-usable /remixable items across games and players would be super fun to play!
Note that the CDK has "levels" of abstraction.

Level 1 is basically full parity to CloudFormation.

Level 2 has reasonable defaults, typically.

Level 3 has opinionated implementations.

At level 3, you can have a reasonable multi-az multi-subnet ECS cluster in 5 lines.. which is a good starting point to work from in many cases.

For those doing really nitty gritty stuff, you can still work at level 1, and make IaC in a familiar language better suited for programming logic than CF (or even ansible or terraform) are.

We've used raw CF for hundreds of thousands of deploys (VM stacks).. AWS SAM for thousands of our serverless infra deploys, and we've also used ansible and terraform for some of our overhead / management layers (managing IAM, mostly). we're really excited to move our raw CF templates into the CDK next year, our "conditions" and parameter blocks are getting annoyingly dense and difficult to follow.
A solution is cultural:

Invite people to abandon their preferences and then organize those people so they show the world how many more needs it meets than not doing it. In particular, abandoning preferences allows the need for not to get met more easily.
If 70% want one thing and 30% want another, it doesn't matter who "caused" the division; in a democratic society you should be doing the thing that 70% of the people want.

Except! And this is a big "except": when doing the thing the majority wants would violate the civil rights of the minority. The problem (in the US, at least; I can't speak for Germany) is that the minority is trying to paint vaccination as a civil rights issue, essentially. I can see the argument, but it all feels a bit hypocritical, as I expect most of the minority who are complaining now were vaccinated (by mandate) against other diseases when they entered public school as children (and vaccinate their children by mandate before enrolling them in school). And while there is still some resistance to even that in some quarters, it is nowhere near the size of the resistance toward COVID vaccinations.
The entire point of a cesium clock is that it does NOT need to remain linked all the time. That is literally why you would get one in your rack.

Give them one month to take the vaccine. Health care isn't available at cost when they get ill from COVID for those that didn't get the vaccine. Health care is here to prevent if possible and it's currently possible. The governement advices the vaccine. Make sure every minority receives the message clear ( eg. Belgium has a lot of hard to reach minorities concerning the language, the message should be clear for all)

It's your option to take the advice or not, but take your responsibility if you ignore it. Don't cry afterwards.

Distribute the vaccines ( the better ones) to countries that lack them according to population density and lack of vaccine availability asap.

Please, get this done already. Richer countries have their responsibilities too, this is an option that the population should agree with. Everyone can do what they want.

If some % of the people don't want the vaccine. Give them what they want instead of the current indecision. All other options will only fuel their anti-governement thinking. Don't force it on to them, it's their fault.
>Except that the resources that are going to care for the unvaccinated might block someone who is vaccinated from needed medical care.

>> I find it ironic that there are plenty comments that paint the picture of how mandatory vaccinations divide the country....

>> How much more divided can a country already be when the absolute democratic majority has made their decision months ago to take the shot but 30% are holding everyone back.

> Its worth remembering that division is due to the other side always.

That's an unhelpful muddying of the waters. If some clear minority is undermining a popular policy, especially if it's doing so for irrational reasons or out of spite, you can definitely point to that minority as the cause of the division.

From listening to nurses and doctors, I get the impression that most people in hospitals with Covid-issues lately are vaccinated; and I trust real people with real experiences over authorities with agendas.
Hi HN-ers! I would have posted this in Show HN, but the NFT is not mintable til Dec 9.

I'm working on a project to create NFTs that consume tokenized carbon offsets. We call them "carbonized" NFTs.

A carbonized NFT is meant to act as a carbon sink. The mechanics of the carbon sinking can take many shapes and forms, which we’ll be experimenting with as we launch new artwork. But here is how our inaugural series “The Genesis Stone” captures carbon.

First, the buyer mints The Genesis Stone with Base Carbon Tonne (BCT) tokens. BCT are tokens which can be swapped with carbon offsets from the real world that have been bridged on-chain called TCO2. There are various flavors of TCO2. BCT allows them to be swapped interchangeably to allow for better liquidity.

Next, we at carbonized.xyz would go to a protocol called KlimaDAO to bond BCT in exchange for KLIMA tokens. KlimaDAO’s mission is to be a “black hole of carbon”, so the BCT is removed from the open market and stored in its treasury.

To summarize, the buyer receives the NFT, the creator gets KLIMA (in this case carbonized.xyz) and KlimaDAO gets BCT. Again, this is only one way in which a Carbonized NFT can work. We will be exploring other methods in future launches.

Mainly I am posting here to drum up interest in our first NFT launch. But would love to hear thoughts and feedback!

JS numbers speculatively using integers in practice rely on the carry flag for cheap overflow bailout checks. Maybe if the overflow check didn't have the same problem, they'd look at that instead, but I don't see why they should have to switch if it doesn't gain them anything.

And there's tons of reasons why using one lane of vector units as scalar ops is an issue. Power, lack of ubiquitous vector units, their pipeline is commonly decoupled from the integer unit making branches goofy, etc.
I'll start by saying I haven't been a supporter of vaccine mandates.
It's best if people can make this up for themselves. Given the right information it's not really a hard choice. And of course there can be personal reasons why it'd be wise to not get vaccinated, but those are rare.

The procedure is benign. Describing it as irreversible is technically true but practically it's scaremongering.

And it's for the sake of the people around you. Your society. So they don't die waiting for their healthcare services to unclog.
Edit: And it's also obviously for the sake of the person getting vaccinated, let's not forget that :)
You are correct, I looked at it again, it's actually using historical data.

But I'm still not sure what I'm looking at, overlaying a single year over an average is always going to look "excessive". I want to see previous years as well, why not just extend the graph? That's the one single most important number that you never get so see. Here they have buried it in a complex algorithm which looks honestly suspicious at first glance, upper bound for excessive death is basically the same as average. Is standard deviation really that low?

EDIT: I just want to see how many people died per capita in 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and so forth, why is that not shown anywhere?

There are several cheap ones listed here:

https://riscv.org/exchange/

such as the $30 Sparkfun Red or the $20 Lofive boards. Those are for running an RTOS, not Linux, but they compete with Arduino, mbed, teensy, and other ARM Cortex M series microcontrollers.

A price target of $10 is something you'll only hit with massive scale-up.
You're right, and remarkably Apple has found a major roadblock to clock speeds while using ARMv8.

M1's L1 cache is huge, as a workaround to ARMv8's poor code density. Larger cache means lower clocks, unfortunately there's no way around speed of light.
A company doesn't need to be owned by the govenrment (which I assume is what you mean) for the government to guarantee it is free from being bought out by it's competitors. Whatsapp/Instagram were great examples of this - where the leader in a sector managed to buy its primary competition. As far as I understand it no one can credibly claim Instagram's growth has been prioritized relative to Facebook - why? Becuase Facebook prioritizes facebook.

This isn't a question of "will the economy collapse if X buys Y" it's a question of "Which will yeild the best outcome, Y being acquired by X or no". The exact definition of "best outcome" is where the entire battleground though.

It is quite difficult to see who actually could acquire ARM though - because of ARM's quite unique position, any of the potential acquirers are either customers (Apple, Nvidia, Qualcomm) who would be vertically integrated to beat out competitors or direct competitors (AMD, Intel). I think almost the only people who could buy ARM at this point would be TSMC.

I wonder as to how far the current crisis is used by 'machiavellian' power players to weaken civil liberties and constitutional rights as was the case with "9/11" to push something through like the "Patriot Act" with its wide ramifications for us all today.

I understand the allure just for this damn pandemic, this state of global health emergency, to force everyone to take their jabs already.

But even without the imagination of a science fiction writer thinking through every "subtle" implications long ahead of its time, it takes little to see the possible dawning - at the end of this tragic ride of a pandemic - of a less free and more restrictive biosecurity world.
Once the shots are compulsory, how many boosters are to come? Is there an expiry date (like 6 months) for natural immunity? Can we say definitively we only need 3 shots? Not more like once or twice every year? For how long? And why not additionally for the flu and other seasonal respiratory infections, now that the mRNA platform has proven its efficacy, its scalibility, its tremendous customizability and the compulsory laws being in place.
No, I didn't think of that. It would give the same effect (after all 1920x1920 isn't that high a res). But on the other hand, could I resist using the other pixels I paid for?...tough choice.
Is there some story about it?

Since the weaker among us died with the first wave, it was already as manageable as the flu.

The mortality under 70 is pretty low.
Yeah, it's possible. I tried to word it carefully. There seems to be a trend in Bavaria though, Saxony maybe, but it's too soon to tell. Those two were the first to be hit by the current wave, and some areas of Bavaria had the highest incidence for a decent while I believe, so that might be an indicator of having reached the peak at least in some parts of the country. But you are correct, it's absolutely not clear yet, and could be due to lack of testing capacity.

> The new breeds made by the unvaccinated are necessarily less dangerous and virulent,

This is not a given. The virus is known to mutate more in unvaccinated hosts and this can make either more contagious or more lethal variations. There would be an advantage to have a longer incubation period.

On the vaccinated the same things are beneficial - longer incubation periods and the ability to infect others who are vaccinated. With a lower viral load, there will be fewer variations in vaccinated hosts, translating into fewer differences from the baseline virus.
It's not exactly hypocritical because we know that the Covid vaccines were both rushed and lied about. We still don't have full transparency about them, and the companies that made them are trying to make it as opaque as possible.

What most people expect is a vaccine that works as it was said it would, and isn't in a quagmire of censorship and profiteering. I think those are very real concerns that have not, and will not be addressed - and so, you will never get everyone on board.

I’m sorry to say this but that is just plain populist. I do agree that pandemic management surely wasn’t optimal, but insinuating malice is simply misplaced.
The situation was chaotic because a pandemic is chaotic. Lots of federal offices that are known for being low-intensity workplaces - such as public health offices - suddenly had more work due than in the last 40 years combined. Politicians without any experience in managing world-scale catastrophes had to perform, often 80+ hours per week. International supply chains collapsed, decades of ridiculous IT politics started showing. Due to Germany‘s federalism, states had way too much sovereignty for way too long into the crisis. Public health institutions, healthcare professionals, Pharma companies - all had different opinions on what might be the best next step. Masks were not going to be deliverable in the quantities required to provide for the entire population. At some point, a decision had to be made to reserve contingencies for hospitals.

Solutions to all these problems may be obvious in hindsight, but I ask for a little respect to all the people that had to find them in a dynamic, completely unknown environment. Lots of things went smooth as fuck, you just didn’t notice because you took them for granted. We’re talking about humans after all.
> In Germany we have a constitution that protects all human's right equally. If there's good reasons why you can't receive a vaccination, I'm pretty sure nobody can force you.

I've received lots of vaccinations in my lifetime, but I ask the question, who decides what the "good reason" is for vaccinating every eligible human?

We know the Covid vaccines aren't 100% effective in stopping spread, or getting ill, but for the sake of argument, let's assume the vaccines are 100% safe and effective.

The reason I don't think it should be mandated is because it sets a precedent for future mandates where the political climate may be different.

Everyone should have the right to choose what happens to their body. Unfortunately that may mean people make stupid decisions (forgoing life-saving treatment, or possibly even making others sick), it's infuriating at times, but the alternative is far worse.

The same argument applies to free speech and personal privacy. Taking away those rights, for what most would say is "obviously the right thing to do" may be all well and good in today's political climate. But it sets a precedent for the future, in which the political climate may be a lot different.

Obviously, this is just my opinion :)
Where do you come up with such a ludicrous statement? Try using VS code for python development and then use pycharm before you sit here and tell me that they don't have any other product that is competitive with VS code.

Not to mention they have an excellent multi database system management tool called data grip. But you go on and keep using VS code to manage your databases. Have fun with that.
Keep in mind: chickenpox is almost never lethal, and many school districts already require the chickenpox vaccine.
Aside from the dangers of secondhand smoke (which we have laws to limit the impact of), you can't "catch" smoking from someone else. Unless they force-feed you cigarettes until you get addicted, anyway.
It's fairly ironic how the demographics of antivaxxers (mostly right-wingers) are very keen to patriotic duties (and will probably recruit you to war when time comes), but couldn't even take a vaccine to attenuate a pandemy. That will be remembered.
> no reported hospitalisations

There are lots of hospitalisations, they are ramping up drastically. See SA regional hospital data.

> totally unsurprising to anyone familiar with viruses

Actually no human virus has ever evolved through selection pressure to become less virulent. This is just a (convenient to the deniers) myth.

Lab leak is just as fanciful as it has ever been, masking advice was updated as soon as we knew better, vaccines have been proven very safe.

I know. I'm mixed on this, but isn't it ultimate work-life separation?

Getting a little sci-fi here, but imagine not even knowing the names of your coworkers, project, manager, or even employer in the future; the system is so well-designed that you just have to do the little mission and there are communication channels minimally restricted to just the questions you'd have. Once such a system got up and running it would be the closest thing to a genuine "AI" or rather the more general case of an emergent intelligence; emergent since none of the actors are directly cooperating with the other actors, and hypothetically such a system could independently evolve and evolve with nobody at the steering wheel.

For an example of a compartmentalized operation, see CIA, NSA. I'm not saying these organizations are anything like what I described above. Just examples of highly compartmentalized work systems.

Anyways, just got me thinking ;)
There's no particular reason to think 5g will cause problems, just like there is no reason my car's headlights are expected to cause cancer. We need to have evidence for claims, and shadowy organizations aren't behind blocking every claim you want to believe.
