Yeah, I see the point. My only good argument against trying to optimize relative outcomes is that it isn't practical to try to do so.

To talk about the difficulties of implementing true socialism would be beating a dead horse, I think. But even if we could remove wealth inequality completely, people would still find ways to feel better or worse than others (sports, looks, social skills, intelligence, etc.). My high school in the suburbs was fairly homogenous from a socioeconomic standpoint, but that microcosm seemed more hierarchical than any other point in life.

I also would expect the good-or-bad feelings people get by making comparisons are more-or-less ordinal in nature, so I think people would manage to feel just as bad about small wealth differences (keeping up with the Jones's) if there were no more billionaires.
I suppose by helping people become open to other, possibly more reasonable, options.

At least with seatbelts it is the idiot who gets hurt. In the case of vaccines, it’s the others, mostly those who, for valid medical reasons, can’t be vaccinated.

If you haven't worked on a business team, it's hard to fully describe the utility or importance of Excel. I think the best analogy for programmers is, imagine Vim if all the commands were easily discoverable through a GUI, and if everybody on your team and all the teams you work with also used it.

Approximately any third-year (audit|financial|supply chain|actuarial) analyst will be able to fly around a workbook too quickly for an observer to follow along, and a lot of them will have custom commands and utilities set up. And those power users are using exactly the same tool as the person who point-and-clicks on every cell and button, so they can look over their shoulder and say, "You can just jump to the upstream cell with Ctrl+[" or "Have you tried using INDEX/MATCH for that?"

I haven't touched a Windows machine for two years or been in an Excel-first role for five, but the muscle memory for the Windows-specific keystroke sequences for all the common commands is still there.

Except that the resources that are going to care for the unvaccinated might block someone who is vaccinated from needed medical care. It also increases the amount of exposure someone who IS vaccinated needs to contend with, and as is mentioned over and over again, vaccines are imperfect. A colleague of mine has an elderly father who is vaccinated and in the ICU with Covid. The odds are much higher that he was infected by an unvaccinated person.

Also smoking is a terrible example - we tax cigarettes highly to discourage smoking because it’s a drag on our medical system. We ban the act of smoking in a wide variety of locations because it has an impact on other peoples health. Some buildings even disallow people to smoke in their private homes, and some cities disallow smoking in offices. We put restrictions on almost every aspect of smoking because it doesn’t only affect the smoker.

All kinds of vaccines have been mandatory for generations. You wouldn't have been allowed to attend school if you hadn't had loads of them. In the US for instance all schoolchildren are required to be vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, varicella, measles, and rubella, and almost all states also require vaccinations against mumps and hepatitis B. So please don't act like requiring vaccination is some unprecedented erosion of personal liberty, because it just plain isn't.

Shopify had a really great process and one reason I work there now:

- internal high quality recruiters that gave me a lot of attention and transparency to the process

- they went at an appropriate pace. They could accelerate of need be. They could slow down if need be.

- I never was ghosted by anyone. I never had any surprise extra rounds of interview

On the interviews themselves, a combination of practical design, pair programming, and deep dive into past work. It all felt appropriate, no weird whiteboard logic puzzles. No leet code super hard crazy problems. All things that felt job appropriate.

No obsession with me having used any particular tech stack. They knew good Devs could learn what they need to.

Certainly this seems like a secret plug, but in all honesty seeing the care I was given through the process helped solidify the decision. I saw it as the closest proxy to how I would be treated as an employee.
You missed the point of op. The point was that it is not unvaccinated people who fill up icu beds. That's everyone. If you kill all unvaccinated people you have 100% vaccination rate and icu beds will still fill up
>Once you push parts into the supply chain you can’t really tell where they will end up.

That's why I wonder if it wouldn't be a good, "broad spectrum" attack. I imagine aides to key Senators, Congressmen, White House staffers, C-suite people at defense contractors etc. buy all sorts of devices off Amazon, which they plug in without a second thought like the vast majority of us do. Obviously, 98% of the people plugging in the devices aren't valuable from a military/intelligence perspective, but even if only 1 in 10,000 targets was worthwhile, I imagine there would be a few that were goldmines of information.

On the other hand, I imagine if it was that sophisticated of an attack, the more devices you have randomly "in the wild" increases the chances it is discovered potentially, which could then nuke your whole operation. I remember in the Snowden docs, the NSA's TAO was sometimes intercepting orders for laptops etc people placed online, carefully placing backdoors in it, then sealing it all perfectly back up and putting it back on track for delivery. It arrives and you think it's safe since it's factory sealed and you got it brand new from a reputable retailer. That's a more targeted example of the same concept
I don't understand this line of thinking. Voluntarily taking the shot yourself is completely different from making a "majority decision". Off course I got vaccinated, but I'm totally opposed to forcing it on people.

It is absolutely crazy how easy it was for our incompetent politicians to blame people WHO ARE NOT EVEN BREAKING ANY LAWS for their own disastrous communication (just remember those "mask are actually bad for you" talking points when there weren't any) and overall pandemic management.

They constantly lied to us on every step of the way and now they're surprised that some people don't trust them?

Nope (again). Malaysia, Vietnam & others have taken similar positions.
And also (4) prevent you from getting sick. Which the mRNA does not, the vaccine itself makes you really sick.
> You get really sick from the second dose of the vaccine

What? That's not a universal truth at all. Anecdotally just a few people I know felt a little run down for a day, but everyone else (myself included) experience felt zero ill effects
We no longer let people smoke in places where others are affected. If COVID would only affect the unvaccinated person, I’d agree with you. But vaccination reduces the risk of catching the disease and thus the risk of passing it on to others. If unvaccinated people would all stay home and enter voluntary lockdown, this wouldn’t be a discussion. But they do not. They get infected. They pass it on. In Berlin, there’s a recommendation to not engage in dangerous activities, because there might not be an ICU bed if you have an accident. Planned surgery for cancer patients is postponed, because there’s no bed for aftercare. They’re all taken by mostly unvaccinated COVID patients. If the unvaccinated would all voluntarily stay home and suffer there, I’d agree with you. But they don’t. They’re taking the bed that I’ll need if I get run over by a car in the street.

> and don’t make new ones based on them that reinfect the larger population

The new breeds made by the unvaccinated are necessarily less dangerous and virulent, just based on the relevant evolutionary pressures (the more dangerous breeds that make people bedridden don't spread).

The new breeds made by the vaccinated, on the other hand - those have zero evolutionary pressure to become less dangerous, and can just as easily become more so (someone with a mutation that would make an unvaccinated person bedridden feels no effect and spreads it everywhere they go).

If COVID becomes less deadly but more widespread, and becomes part of the yearly flu season, blame that on the unvaccinated. But if COVID mutates to become more deadly and resistant to vaccines, blame the vaccinated.
I think it’s completely unreasonable that people complain about an explosives factory next to a school. The risk of explosion is very low and the economic impact on the company would be devastating. Why do people think their right to be a little more safer trumps the right to manufacture high explosives?
The problem with this claim is that vaccine fanatics spread vast amounts of misinformation themselves, and often rely on it for their core arguments.

Just in this thread alone, we can find people saying:

1. Vaccines would let us wipe out COVID (wrong).

2. Even harsher lockdowns would let us wipe out COVID (wrong).

3. Vaccines stop people transmitting it (wrong).

4. Vaccinated people don't end up in ICU with COVID (wrong).

5. Sweden had unusually bad outcomes (wrong).

6. That it's "very normal" for people to take yearly flu shots (wrong, only ~35% uptake amongst at risk patients in 2019).

And that's not even a full list. There's not only a large set of factually incorrect beliefs amongst vaccine mandate fanatics (and that's the only word for you guys now), but also a generalized incorrect belief that it's the other side who are badly informed.
Because the ICUs are at maximum capacity?!?
1. There's little concern about those with natural immunity who have recovered from COVID. It makes zero sense to induce extra risk of side effects from a "vaccine" if the patient already has natural immunity.

2. Research is indicating that in breakthrough infections to fully vaccinated people, the viral load is the same. [1]

3. The vaccines don't _prevent infection_ unlike the "classic" childhood vaccines. They are merely prophylactics that are incorrectly called vaccines to encourage people to get them and reduce hospitalization rate.

4. Everyone has their own individual level of risk. Healthy, young people have an infinitesimal rate of death from this virus compared to the old and infirm.

I don’t follow.

Clarence Ray Allen was executed in 2006 at the age of 76 by lethal injection at San Quentin State Prison in California. Prisoner execution is still legal 27 states (plus federal and military) including in California. Currently there are 697 prisoners awaiting execution in California[1]. So far this year 5 people have been sentence to death in California, which is up from 3 in 2020[2]. Since Clarence Rey Allen was executed, Californian courts have sentence around 170 prisoners to receive the same fate. The only thing preventing California from executing its prisoners is a handful of powerful individuals (particularly Gavin Newsom) that just so happens to be against this practice. If California were to get a new governor and a judge or two with a laxer moral stance surely state executions would continue.

No our side has far from “won”. We have come close. In 2012 and 2016 popular ballot measures came really close to abolishing the death penalty in California. 7 states (including my home state of Washington) have made state executions illegal in the past decade alone. I think it is only a matter of time before California does the right thing here and abolishes this barbaric practice for good. Sentencing people to death—though infinitely more humane then following through and actually executing people—is still a cruel practice, and California should absolutely stop doing that.

GMP is basically a worst-case example since it uses a lot of overflow. The RISC-V architecture has been extensively studies and for most cases it's a little more dense than (say) ARM when compared like-for-like.
The vaccine does not reduce transmission; heck it doesn't even prevent infection!

This is really bad since vaccinated people can be infected and shed the virus without showing symptoms! You are far more likely to be unknowingly exposed to the virus from a vaccinated person.

The rest of your assertions are rather baseless and unfounded propaganda not backed up by science in the least.

If the Omicron variant is indeed as mild as the doctors in South Africa are reporting, Omicron is the path to herd immunity. Especially since COVID is carried by animals. You going to vaccinate every animal any human could come in contact with too?

This whole "you are affecting all the people around them" is the biggest lie of all and the biggest pile of utter bull $h!t in this whole fiasco.
There is not an “enormous majority”, even in the relatively vaccine-hesitant US, that opposes vaccine mandates; there is, on recent polls, within the MoE of 50% that opposes a general adult mandate, and only a minority that opposes slightly narrower mandates attached to participation in most significant public activities.

In Germany, the subject of the story, support for a general mandate was in the high 50s a month ago and around 70% now. Opposition is a rapidly shrinking minority.

Nope. They eliminated valuable scrap imports as well. In China, in particular, this was as much to subsidize internal secondary processing capabilities. Sorry, you're out of our depth on this one.
I had no reaction to the first 2 or boosters, nor my friends. The plural of anecdote is not data.

What I can say is the Corona I had between the 2nd and booster lasted 1 day, the fastest cold I've ever had. That I had a light infection being due to my vaccination, is backed up by the data.
How hard? Bees against honey hard.
I'm a bit confused. First, JavaScript doesn't use bignum arithmetic much. JS Numbers are doubles. JavaScript JITs do speculatively use integers where possible, but this workload doesn't need add-with-carry, just efficient overflow detection (which is a problem with RISC-V, but not the problem we're discussing here). It could be a problem for Lisp and ML, but these are hardly common languages.

And as for crypto, couldn't you use the vector registers to do scalar ops?
It’s pretty shocking the number of contradictory comments from people on both sides of the argument. I wonder if this is a case of a lot of “smart” people knowing a little but thinking they know it all.

Widely used doesn't mean popular. Teams for example. Many widely used Electron apps are chosen by employers. Or are free and have network effects. Or became dominant as native apps and have a moat.

Arq went back to native because users hated the Electron version. Slack users who see Ripcord say the company should hire the developer. I almost never hear anything positive about the Spotify app.

Do you claim Electron apps have fewer sketchy practices?
What are these arguments though? This is clearly a failure of the government, not a problem caused by unvaccinated people. If you lose infrastructure during a prolonged crisis, instead of building more: you are failing. I don't understand how you can rationalize this in your favor.

Edge almost got me to switch to using Windows with WSL. No joke. Windows was looking good with the new WSL2 on the way and a browser that wasn't sucking. Edge was enticing as Firefox has been going downhill for years (still is, and I still can't find a replacement. Vivaldi was close, but is closed source and has some serious UI lag issues on Android). I, an avid opensource user and believer, was considering a switch back (I like gaming too, so that would have been a nice boost to ease of game play). I let time slip before I made the change and well, I'm glad I did. I would have run Windows for about 6 months just to move back after some "updates."

Contrary to popular belief, peer review and publication does not cement something as fact. If your peers are also nutters then you can get their blessing for your work. And at any given time there are fringe communities working on things that everyone else laughs at. It's a feature, not a bug, because consensus is useless in advancing our understanding of stuff. Things go wrong when laypeople pretend "science is settled" and adopt it as a religion.

> It's shocking how just four years of Trumpism have made it difficult for Americans to even imagine a US government agency actually doing its job, as it was intended to do.

It wasn't just four years of Trumpism. Trumpism was simply the fruition of decades of successful neoliberal anti-government propaganda, primarily from the Republicans, going back at least as far as Reagan saying "Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem." What Trumpism added was mainstreaming conspiracy theory on top of the general disposition that government should be starved until it was weak enough to be drowned in the bathtub. So now the Libertarians are talking about limited government and how Fauci created COVID for the Illuminati.

First of all, there are many millions in Germany, who are neither vaccinated nor recovered (if you have medical proof of recovery, like a positive PCR test in the past, you are treated like a vaccinated person for 6 months). So there are millions which can still be hit by full force. As a consequence, get sick, require ICU care. In some parts of Germany, all ICU beds are currently occupied, patients moved to other parts of the country as we speak. That is the critical situation at the moment. Also, all data available shows, that unvaccinated people are spreading the virus faster than vaccinated people. Those two parts in combination create a situation, where the unvaccinated part of the population do mainly contribute to the severity of things. That is, why the majority of the population cares about high vaccination counts.
I agree with you that it's obviously dumb to let Nvidia buy ARM... BUT we're already in a situation where softbank own ARM. I think the only argument that Nvidia is more dangerous is that they're more competent.
