I agree with a lot of this. A lot of techies are used to software and customer environments where vendors and customers work together for shared success. Finance is not that sort of space. Much of it is fundamentally zero-sum and adversarial. It needs a different style of oversight than SAAS.

Am I missing something or would they have also failed them if they had been driving a car with a manual transmission and made some limited use of engine braking to slow the vehicle instead of immediately depressing the brake? Seems to me that the provided reasoning also implies that downshifting to a gear other than neutral would result in failure...
In that fantasy world they'd still need to provide evidence that the ban us justified, otherwise people can challenge it in court. The vaccine people have the "benefit" of a collapsing medical system and am absence of a similar load and collapse in countries with high vaccination rate.

It's a very good thing that it isn't susceptible to that particular weakness, as that would have been a disastrous one. But there are a lot of things that are left to be desired about this setup:

1. Message secrecy and the soundness of the encrypt-then-MAC protection seem to be partially, if not completely, dependent on the `APP_KEY` that you generated and are currently running the service with. For all anyone knows, that `APP_KEY` is all zeroes or comes from a bad RNG source. A better scheme wouldn't introduce a fundamental dependency on untrusted server randomness.

2. Message deletion is unsound: I have no proof that a note being "deleted" means that it's actually purged from your storage. I'm decently sure proving that is actually impossible in the general case, which is another reason why it's dangerous to have the note's encryption handled on the server side.

3. The "password" functionality seems to just be a string comparison against a DB-stored password. It's not mixed into the secret material for encryption at all. It's hashed at least, which is good, but it doesn't look like it's salted, which is bad.

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

This is an absolute statement as division is literally caused by dividing between "sides". You get a divided country when the people within it divides each other into sides. Its never been the case when people have said "our side has caused the division". never.

That is the irony you should be finding! If you do finally see this irony you might find more nuance, but maybe more frustration and more uncertainty and confusion but less anger and possibly more empathy to the other. That's why its so easy for people to divide, as its less painful. Dividing and categorizing is how we make sense of the world, but it can be a curse too.

You have widening operations e.g. 16x16->32 bit multiplications and can reduce number of available registers to get longer vectors, but among the really interesting ones are fault only first load and masked instructions that enable the vector unit to work on things like null terminated strings. The specification includes vectorized strlen/strcmp/strcpy/strncpy implementations as examples. Most existing (packed) SIMD instruction sets aren't useful for these common functions.

> Is more housing really the answer?
> Instead of increasing the supply, perhaps addressing the demand is the only way out.

Prices are a reflection of supply and demand. There are only two ways to lower prices. Either increase supply or lower demand. One of them is a solvable issue, which is to increase supply. The other option, which is to lower demand, is either unrealistic or unfair. How, do you suppose, we lower demand? The only way you can lower demand is by getting people to change their mind. But how can you realistically expect people to change their mind? Everyone wants to move to L.A., the Bay Area, and other expensive cities because of the good jobs, universities, and career opportunities exist there.

> I keep thinking of induced demand increasing traffic on the roads

Induced demand is an interesting topic, but do not conflate it with the housing crisis. These are two fundamentally different economic situations. Induced demand is theoretically "induced" because the public good or service is free and utilizing the resource comes at no additional cost to the consumer. Homes on the other hand are not free. They come at a price. And therefore, there is nothing inducing its demand like you would theoretically see with widening a freeway.

That wouldn't happen, even with our substandard testing, unless the strain somehow had very low ability for transmission and then only evolved that in this last jump which is not likely. Since there are multiple variations from the older strain, we'd have seen at least some of the new variations along the way.

That's a statistical effect: far more people are vaccinated than not, so they are more likely to show up in the ECU even if the vaccine reduces their infection rate.
"Are unreasonably strict lockdowns a good idea? Does it drive unnecessary fear?"

???

If you look at the data fro Our World in Data you see exponential spikes, implying any group facing them is on the precipice of disaster.

The lockdowns decisively killed the spikes and prevented untold harm.

That for a few weeks 'you couldn't go to the park' is relevant, but not hugely material, neither is that they caused a bit of fear.

The 'no parks' bit is maybe an excessive feature taken in an emergency context but it's not a big deal.

TL;DR: Can we have an experience similar to `guix refresh` with content-addressed nix?

(Disclosure: experimenting with the content-addressed nix now, have not used guix before, but heard good things about it.)

It seems to me that there are some higher-level design decisions around usability that need to be worked out, concerning the push to content-addressed nix and making all build dependencies pure in restricted mode (to separate “fetching from external services with known hash” from “building without accessing external services”), particularly to interface with other language ecosystems (crate2nix of Rust, cabal2nix of Haskell, yarn2nix of Node, etc.), as summarized in this “Status of lang2nix approaches” discourse thread [1].

[1]: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/status-of-lang2nix-approaches/...

I wonder what is the intended user flow for updating hashes of dependencies (say, from a certain language ecosystem).

Can we make it as easy as `guix refresh`, possibly with tools external to nix (similar to niv, lorri, and other nix-related tools which extend nix)?

Before the restricted mode in content-addressed nix, we could do, say, callCabal2nix which indirectly does import-from-derivation (IFD), that is, refer to an intermediate derivation which is computed. With the push to content-addressed nix, this appears to be ruled out (see the thread [1] for the alternatives, but it seems that there is no satisfactory approach yet).

If we want to make it easy to update dependencies with a single command (like `guix refresh`), what needs to be done? Do we need to change nix to accommodate, or we could do it with external tools alone (like the way niv and lorri which “patch” the nix workflow without modifying nix proper).
I would hope there's something more to his reasoning.

There's tables showing values for just the code and RISC-V beating aarch64 and x86-64 with ample margin, in this very discussion.
Did china get less freedom because of covid lockdowns? That is, surely people faced absurd restrictions, but given the length of the restrictions, which is better for people?

I know that I would prefer 1 month hard lockdown than 1 year soft. But idk how it actually went there (curious to know!)
Well, there's always civil war. That'd be a bit more divided. We should probably try going in the opposite direction, which usually involves less trying to impose our wills on each other.

> Why do 30% of people refuse to get vaccinated? (here in Aotearoa it is 5%). Something is happening, people are getting left behind, in vast numbers.

It's an interesting question and there is lots of debate in Germany at the moment as to why. Some factors are:

* Germany did very well during the pandemic so people didn't experience a Bergamo or Madrid moment

* Germany has a strong esoteric / anthroposophical movement (Steiner, Waldorf et al.)

* Federalism: Vaccination rates vary a lot by state
And not just freedom, but more important things such as a functioning society in general with regards to childrens education, babies being born, the economy doing well etc etc. It's not like lockdowns are only affecting some dude's ability to go and drink beer. And they are actively harmful to people's health too, so actually it's about finding a balance between everyone and everything, and the immune compromised people at risk from cold viruses.
No, we should have strived to get everyone vaccinated (by making it mandatory) and then this pandemic would be over in Europe.

"Opening up" would have killed more people than it killed in the UK.

The people driving this wave, who are getting seriously ill and dying are the unvaccinated.
Absolute nonsense. In a field where very experienced people are in high demand, they'll bend over backward to offer you the job. I have references and a long history of employment. I'm not "negging" them (also, grow up), and refusing part of an interview when THEY are the one in need of talent, well, that just means they change their recruitment workflow, or lose out on talent.

I am not difficult to work with and I have a real good track record at applying for jobs, and getting job offers. Anecdotal, sure, but when an applicant gives me a good reason why they feel a certain part of the interview isn't helpful to either one of us, then I adapt. Especially if that person already got through the recruiter and tech-review filters, that means they are good.
I think a lot of people are ignoring the issue that the web has changed considerably since 2005. It is approximately 10 times larger in terms of number of websites and web pages. And a lot of it is SEO junk that is just designed for search engines to be easier to parse and show ads in your face.

Also user preferences have changed in the last decade or so. I know millenaials and users in their late 30's or early 40's still yearn for the old web where they would type a search term and correct results would astonish them. However, younger users tend to gravitate to videos and that is why a large portion of the google results are now video results.
Alternative take: SEO became a thing, and the initial search algorithms were not designed for an adversarial game

Work like a panther
There’s a pattern among history’s most successful & influential people: Most of them worked fewer hours than the average American.

Darwin, Hemingway, Beethoven: None of them worked more than 4 or 5 hours in a day.

Yet they produced lifetimes of great work. Here’s how:

Hemingway would write in the morning until lunch. That was it.

Darwin would place sections of focused deep work in between long walks and reading.

Beethoven would write music for a few hours in the morning. Then he’d enjoy his day.

You’ll see this pattern over and over.

There’s a common thread among these 3 and many others:

Each of them had the freedom to organize their days around productivity.

They would work, hard, when they worked best.

By doing so, they could maximize both their productivity and their leisure time.

They understood that good leisure is intentional.

It’s not Netflix for 8 hours––it’s pursuing passions, exercising, side projects, or spending time with friends.

By enjoying life, you’ll do better work.

In other words, a balanced lifestyle isn’t lazy: It’s more productive.

Here’s a model you can use:

Treat your mental energy each day like an hourglass.

Many scientists and creatives think you have about 3 to 6 hours of truly focused work before you run out.

When you turn that hourglass over, make the most of every minute.

I’m writing this because, until recently, most people haven’t had the freedom to organize their lives this way.

But remote work gives you the agency to organize your day like Hemingway & Darwin & Beethoven.

If you want to use an Rpi4 as a desktop, you should seriously considered one of the more mainstream 64 bit distributions.

I use Manjaro, for example, and it is excellent and far superior to Raspian, which is better suited to being an introductory OS for the lower end Pis. I use raspian on the Pi’s that I don’t use as desktops.
The Pine64 SBCs look to be good choices. They don't have WiFi, but fortunately I don't need WiFi for this.

Not everybody who hasn’t taken the vaccine is an antivaxxer.

I think a distinction needs to be made between anti vaxxers and people who are just naive/“dumb”.

I have seen more of the later group. Which is why I’m surprised when someone here or in mainstream media says this has anything to do with a political side.

This distinction is useful IMO in creating sound policies.
Self defence is not antisymmetric, as a contrived example suppose two people are independently running away from murderers and bump into each other in the dark (maybe add some extra factor like a gunfire sound starting at the same time) then both would be covered under self defence to use (deadly) force againt what was actually an innocent victim.

For sure, energy has a cost which you want to optimize for - no question about it. The crux is when that cost is artificially low: you can dump your radioactive waste in the river for as much as it costs to transport it, but the cost is then payed by the people downstream. Now as you say if this is tightly causally linked, the people downstream will fight back against you and then it's not so cheap. But the problem comes when the causality gets foggy; it takes decades before there's enough data gathered to connect the high cancer rates with the waste dumping miles upstream. By that time the people who made that decision made bank and exited and are beyond accountability

Where this causal disconnect occurs is where regulation is most effective

I think we agree, you want to price in your externalities, but pricing externalities _is_ regulation, so we're saying the same thing. Perhaps we're crossing wires somewhere

I'm not so sure how valid the argument about test capacity limits and underreporting is. While laboratories for PCR tests might be above capacity the 2G+ requirement (recovered or vaccinated AND tested) must have increased quick antigen tests dramatically, which also get registered and positive tests reported. E.g. to enter a public pool I had to get tested and they had a test tent right next to the entrance. The week before I could just enter with my vaccination certificate. Many people have to get tested more extensively now for work or travel. So I would be very surprised if the test coverage hasn't actually increased and declining numbers with more tests certainly looks like a good sign.
