And Booking, now also twice. What can I say, Apple was fun. Stayed for 12 months and then I left.

> If someone ever responded like you say you do at the start of an interview my notes would read something like "lots of great experience, seems incredibly intelligent and skilled, total pretentious a-hole".

Well, I wouldn't act like I write on an anonymous online forum like this, obviously.

So far I would say that most of my ex-colleagues would describe me as someone who is quiet, listens well, makes lots of notes on a paper, has a fancy pen with ink, and is surprisingly non-hipster despite all that.

I'm very involved with helping other developers in my social network getting the most out of job interviews and salary negotiations. I know the right ways of getting the most out of performance reviews and how to nail an interview that would otherwise make one uncomfortable.

But, point taken.
You'd think so but it's actually the other way around: the people most likely to die are not given vaccines (because there's no point). This can be seen in the UK data where increasing vaccinations causes an increase in deaths in unvaccinated people from non-COVID causes. Clearly that's not a biological link - rather, what's happening is that as the vaccinated population grows, the really sick and dying people get concentrated in the unvaccinated cohort, which then experiences higher death rates.

Data is tricky, especially with something like this.
We may go back! Earthly is quite nice
Can someone with more understanding than me please comment what can be acheived with this tech in next decade or several decades.

From a layman perspective this seems outstanding to me but I am failing to imagine what can be achieved from this?
How do you keep things like "power plants" and "water systems" running in this proposal? Either you allow so many exceptions that it's worthless, or you literally shut down modern civilization. It's far from clear that it can be blackstarted.
Obese people don't take up literally the entirety of ICU capacity in heavily-affected areas[1], nor does obesity spread exponentially in a matter of months.

Really appreciate this sub-thread, including @Zoo3y and @teucris' comments. I share a similar perspective. In the case of this article, I feel like a lot of the behaviors come back to rent-seeking — here's a perspective that might resonate with you:

haha nice modern version! I originally heard the first version as a mathemetician instead of an engineer.
That's irrelevant to the points being made. We all know this at this point, it's been said over a thousand times.
Awkwardly complaints about echo chamber as a problem tends to not refer to feedback dynamics (crudely but disambiguating refered to as circle jerk) so much "People disagree with me, the nerve of them!". It is not viable to have parties A through Z sharing the same world and all having absolute control over all others. We see this same complaint every time modernation comes up, let alone the fundamentals of democracy.
AWS Lightsail is pretty close to this. It’s still possible to get an overage if you have a lot of traffic, but otherwise it’s pretty safe.
I would like to see this via a modern-day ThinkPad-style keyboard, such as Lenovo KT-1255 keyboard.
If ARM is truly too important to the economy to be owned by a “selfish” business, shouldn't we just declare it public domain and move on? Why can’t Nvidia’s competitors who they’d try to abuse and squeeze go use some other ISA? Is ARM really that good, or is it just popular?
Thanks for the correction! I've never used Pulumi directly, and thought it was just a wrapper around terraform providers.

Do you think it changes anything about how I've characterized it above?
No. Mentioning it is only meant to distract.
They say that, but I would 100% of removed mine. Why leave a time bomb in your house? Spend the effort / money and fix it for real.
Is that excuse something you'd use as a defense in court? Because that looks like mismanagement to me, and changes nothing. After two years, there should be more ICU beds, not thousands less.
This is the most megalomanic thing I've ever heard of. ARM has high chances to be both the next x86 and the most common embedded architecture. While at the same time Nvidia GPUs are already the de facto standard for GPU computing. So Nvidia would have monopolies in 2 verticals. No reasonable and competent antitrust commission could ever allow that - although probably everyone was betting the latter wasn't the case...
I don't know who that is, the reason I'm skeptical is the sheer amount of cofounders in most observational studies. My pre-pandemic prior was slightly positive towards masking, strongly negative towards government mask mandates.

My personal totally subjective risk estimates after reading a ton of studies and metanalyses is that n95 masks probably reduce transmission at least somewhat (90% confidence), surgical masks probably have a weak or negligible effect (50% confidence), and cloth masks probably don't work at all (50% confidence).

I personally still wear a surgical mask while at work, at the hospital/doctor's office, and in crowded spaces I expect to be in for a long time such as the DMV, airplanes, trains. I don't wear a mask outdoors, in grocery stores and convenience stores, or when visiting family members. I am moderately against government-imposed mask mandates (both for science-based reasons and ideological reasons) though I do comply with them when they are imposed.
Bodily autonomy and health privacy are fundamental human rights. No just society should be able to violate a person's body in this manner or coerce them through methods like lockdowns. It is simply not compatible with a free and just society. And I say that as a pro vaccine person with my booster.
The real problem is not the technology but the mindset. Simply follow the twin principle of live and let live AND do no harm to others. Have a moral compass. You don’t need to be religious or even spiritual for this. Just understand that this is best for you in the long run.
> We have no reason to believe that someone will misuse your information because of what happened.

Yeah, ok. They literally sent victims to a DATA BROKER to "protect" them. The very same people who would buy up that leaked data that came the "hack." What fucking world do we live in??

Edit: ...
My partner was diagnosed with cervical cancer a couple of months ago and is now on the brink of starting radio- & chemotherapy.

Due to the covid situation here in the Netherlands the treatment may not go ahead as planned, and treatment might get delayed, due to the new measures.

I then know of people who's heart surgaries have been delayed 5x times due to the stress covid is putting on the health care system in another country.

Please, get vacinated/boosted and if possible convince a close one to do too.
> the people who are forced to take the vaccination without their consent and in violation of their conscience.

Your imagination got the better of you here - nobody will be forced to vaccinate, especially not without their consent. Similar to how nobody comes to your car and forces you to wear a seatbelt.

Germany's constitution is quite clear about this, for apparent, historic reasons.
Some expectations are pessimistic, some are optimistic.

Societies, over time, have gone up and gone down. So sometimes an optimistic perspective has proven right and sometimes a pessimistic perspective has proven right.

The article has a decent argument why a pessimistic approach is plausible. Your examples don't anything particular specific and so they don't really give a case that an optimistic perspective is appropriate. I mean, optimism might appropriate but "change your view to see the good" is just kind of manipulative (something very common now, a reason for pessimism, sadly).

> the other view is necessary.

Yes. In fact, so necessary that fake opposition becomes necessary to legitimize totalitarian policy, if organic opposition has been silenced or removed.
based on voluntary cooperation (free market) not force and violence and coercion

Yeah, that's also an untruth. Western capitalist societies are no more pure capitalism than the Soviet Union was pure communism.

Democracy is fundamentally coercive: the majority gets to rule, and everybody else lives with the result. Some of those rules force people to do things they don't want to do in the name of being able to live together: pay taxes, obey police, obtain permission to operate a motor vehicle. Those who don't obey are subject to force.

It's the worst system except for all of the others. It works best when there's voluntary cooperation, and there's a lot of it. But there are limits to it, and anybody coming to it thinking that they're absolutely free and without obligations and restrictions is going to fare very poorly. Such people force them to pass even more rules to codify what is and isn't allowed, and make the system worse for everybody.

Reddit is missing a huge opportunity by not improving their crappy search functionality.
That doesn't really fix the paradigm today though. A lot of people (myself included) consider 32-bit support to be essential if they want their device to run everything they want, and I don't really see that going away until there are convenient, performant ways to execute 32-bit code on modern CPUs.
30% are holding everyone back

Are you still talking about Germany, because that's exactly the situation we have in the U.S., too. Same ratio, even.
anything that would improve the US this admin does the opposite 90% of the time. look at the remain in mexico thing which was done away with and now after the epic border fail is going to be stood up again.
> 40 to 60% of all ICU beds are filled with fully vaccinated people

Though correct, this is a dumb statistic used to peddle antivax propaganda. As vaccination rates rise, this number also rises.

If 100% of people were vaccinated, 100% of all Covid ICU patients would be vaccinated.

Spain has quite high vaccination rates, which is why this ratio is so high there.
I think I'd rather some people be vaccinated without their consent with a safe vaccine than have some people be infected without their consent with a deadly illness.

We know mask mandates, vaccines, and other medical interventions save lives, reduce transmission, reduce hospitalizations, reduce long term symptoms and long covid rates, and reduce deaths, and they may even reduce mutation rates. So the choice to vaccinate, that you paint as one of conscience and consent don't just affect the individual making the choice, but all the people around them.
> You cannot know it, because it hasn't happened.

I know of another case, when subset of citizens was labeled as cause of all evil with following mandatory medical procedures. It did happen in Germany long time ago and I don't want to believe it can happen again.
Oh, that's encouraging. That's from October 2021. Early estimates were higher.
I just became fully vaccinated and each day since I am dealing with dizziness / lightheaded-ness spells.

Everyone should take one for the team you say but do you know what the future holds for the team? You just trust emphatically what the early science says vs. waiting over time to see all of it's effects on a huge population? That and time is the true bellweather but we are forced guinea pigs to join the experiment or lose our livelihoods.

Can you tell me Why is the FDA want 55 years to process and release all the vaccine data they have.... shouldn't they be getting that out ASAP ... from Reuters (non-biased or sided media) https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/wait-what-fda-wants...

You either believe everything your govt says and the very early science says (time is the bellweather and the large population data that comes with it) or you live life on the fence questioning things before making the best decision for yourself or you go completely agaisnt the ones who just buy, soak up and believe everything their side says.
They are in the UK
LOL, "my body, my choice" right up until it's something that the political left want, then it's, "Fuck you, get in line or die."

Either we have autonomy over our medical choices or we don't, period. This is the problem with having principles. You either live by them and have integrity or you abandon them and you don't.
There is a trade-off but there is overall far more value in having it be unified.

The trade-offs are mostly very small or non existent once you consider the standard extensions that different use cases will have.

Overall having a unified open instruction set is far better then hand designing many different instruction sets just to get marginal improvement. Some really extreme application might require that, but for the most part the whole indsutry could do just fine with RISC-V. Both on the low and on the high end, and in fact better then most of the alternative all things considered.

If integer checking is really the be all end all and without it RISC-V can not be successful without it, it will be added and it will be pulled into all the profiles. If it is not actually that relevant then it wont. If it is very useful for some verticals and not others, it will be in those profiles and not in others.
It's a tyranny of the majority: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_the_majority

I simply don't understand why one person needs to undergo a medical procedure to enable someone else to experience the safe conditions they want. These vaccines don't even grant immunity in the traditional sense (see CDC's revision of definitions here) - all the vaccines do is move things from one nonzero probability of risk to another nonzero probability of risk. If people are SO worried about their health, they need to behave honestly and either quarantine themselves or wear a full body protective hazmat suit everywhere. But requiring others to get a vaccine to attain some arbitrary risk ratio just doesn't make sense.
You can look up all the statistics on vaccine effectiveness against serious cases. They work really well for that. They don’t work as well as first hoped against infection but data on third booster suggests better results on that front.

Look it up instead of asking me for proof, while you yourself are restating hearsay originating from who knows where.
I don't see million of lives lost due to end-to-end encryption, unlike with second-hand smoke, people driving cars like idiots or COVID. Also police mostly doesn't protect and help people and stop crimes, they arrest people after crimes happened. Police being helpful to anyone is mostly a myth.

I mean I generally agree that we should be careful with sweeping "we need X to protect lives" but is global pandemic that killed millions really the case?
As I already replied elsewhere in this thread, as of 12/02/2021 German CDC estimates 7-day R-value as 0.92. That is below 1.

I don't get the live streaming market, or The Kardashians, etc.
While I don’t believe this was true across Australia at certain points in the pandemic, your point is definitely taken and I would agree with the message.

However, I don’t understand the US-centric (satirical) perspective in a comment like this. The article is about Germany, the person you replied to made no specific mention of the US as far as I can tell, and their view is not unusual in many other regions of the world (such as the one I live in). Does the radicalism of Fox News really need more attention or notoriety?
Blessings to you, all that tells me is that you've never had a real inconvenience in your life.

I estimate that about half of my searches have either site:reddit.com or site:news.ycombinator.com at the end. In fact, I have an autocomplete snippet on my Mac so I don't have to type all that.
Also to add:

Allowing nVidia to become a monopoly would bite the US in the ass strategically, as nVidia loses incentive to innovate.

That's how the US, effectively, ended up having no viable aircraft when it entered WWI, after being the country that invented the thing. (Wright and Curtiss, IIRC, locked the market with patents).

Or, more closely, how the US telecom/Internet infrastructure is atrocious, despite — and because of — the Internet and the telephone being invented here. Go figure, Ma Bell wasn't the bees knees.

Strategically, the US needs someone to keep nVidia up on their toes. Innovation cuts into profit margins when you have a monopoly.

My experience with problems that can't be solved with a Google search is limited. I tend to use existing technologies and I stick with an architecture that has been around for long enough to have proper support online.

Still, sometimes I run into limitations with regard to TypeScript, for example. If that happens I'll go over the problem with more experienced developers. It'll be a pair-programming thing for several reasons: two pairs of eyes and two brains see and think more than 1, and you both learn something new, and you both have a little more brainpower available because you want to look good. At least I do my best a little more ;)

> If you're playing that game, are there reasons that you'd ever be copy pasting sorting algorithms from the internet? Why bubble? Don't most programming languages have libraries available to help (especially python)? I work in an area with very little sorting, but I can't imagine myself doing that in a higher level language, or even in C.

It's a silly example, I don't care what algorithm we're talking about. And no, many languages lack any sort of built-in sorting solutions. JavaScript (front-end and Node.js), for example, requires external libraries for performant solutions.

The right answers, but for the wrong question ;)

Not disagreeing with you, but parent was asking why is Germany so bad relative to their European peers.
That's not terribly difficult
Historically there might be just as many authors (and other artists) who’s works didn’t become popular and make money until after their death, as those that became rich and famous during their lifetime.

Of course it seems “times are a changin” and the vast majority of fame comes in the form of a viral and fleeting 15 minutes. Perhaps the law could catch up with the times, by having life imitate art and literally give copyright protection no more than 15 minutes.
One thing the TFA says: "Because Arm’s technology is a critical input that enables competition between Nvidia and its competitors in several markets, the complaint alleges that the proposed merger would give Nvidia the ability and incentive to use its control of this technology to undermine its competitors, reducing competition and ultimately resulting in reduced product quality, reduced innovation, higher prices, and less choice, harming the millions of Americans who benefit from Arm-based products, the complaint alleges."

When a downstream firm merges with an upstream supplier that is really important to the downstream firm and its competitors, the merged firm can competitively hobble the downstream competitors. They can refuse to sell the upstream good to competitors, or raise the cost for competitors. Plus it may force the competitors (or potential new entrants) to vertically integrate themselves and enter both the downstream and upstream markets, which chills competition in the downstream market. The government also credits business justifications for the merger, and in the end they balance those with the potential harms to competition.

The article (I can't find the complaint) also says, and this is a typical vertical merger concern, that this will give Nvidia (the downstream firm) access to sensitive information of Nvidia's rivals that they had previously shared with Arm.

EDIT: There is also a general antitrust push in the Biden administration, notably in the appointments of Lina Khan and Tim Wu. Interesting to see its fruits.
This comment is so unrelatable to me, every kid over the age of 7 when I was in school knew what a google was or better yet, a googleplex. This was also in the 90s so it predates the search engines popularity by a good bit.

It was, simply put, the biggest named number anyone knew and was frequently used as such in arguments... e.g. I watched that movie 1000 times! Oh ya? Well I watched it a google times.

No, not at all. That’s not at all how it works.

Other vaccinations are also given three times (second dose after a short interval, third dose after a longer interval), so it might well be that this vaccine turns out to be one of those, we just do not know. That’s the point.
