Man, what a wild read. And a year later, testing in the US is still pathetic. Not sure if 50% of the country testing themselves every 4 days would have really stopped the spread entirely, but I guess we'll never know.

In your case, dbt would be the tool to manage your Trino view programmatically:

* You define the sql queries that select the input data as models and the dbt scripts (also sql) to combine/manipulate the models.

* On running, dbt will generate the Trino SQL queries to join/transform these models into the final result (also a model).

* Depending on your configuration, any models can be stored as a Trino view or it can be materialized as a data table that's updated every time you re-run the dbt scripts.
Well said, I agree with your points. Anyone who want the protection conferred by the vaccine in developed countries likely already has it. At this point, the unvaccinated are just used as scapegoats for why the pandemic isn't over. It's a great way for politicians to shift blame regarding criticisms of how they've been handling covid.
I think we should counter-balance that with people's right to privacy. Does anybody have the right to know if I'm eating too much candy or not?

With Covid it's different because while I may die from too much sugar that will not kill anybody else. Whereas if I don't get vaccinated I'm putting other people at risk, I'm putting the whole society at risk, of spreading Covid and allowing Covid to mutate to new ever more dangerous variants. If Irefuse to take the Covid vaccination I am "aiding the enemy". Covid is the enemy.

But alcohol maybe yes. Drinking and driving puts other people's lives at risk too. If you are convicted of drinking while driving I think your premiums should go up, I assume they do.
This is a terrible description of what the law actually does. Let's shine some light on the FUD. The law, H.R. 3684 (as enrolled), defines an "advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology" as a system which can do /one/ of the following:

1. "passively monitor the performance of a driver... to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired... and prevent or limit [car] operation if an impairment is detected."

2. "passively and accurately" detect whether someone's BAC exceeds the Federal limit, and prevent or limit car operation if it's detected.

3. Both.

This will apply only after the DOT finalizes a rule describing what all those things actually mean in terms of manufacture. The law requires that the Secretary publish this rule within the next three years, unless they think it can't be done, in which case they can push it out another three years. That rule must give car manufactures at least another two years to implement the requirement. It also gives the DOT an out to say that it can't be done, in which case in 2031, they need to write a report to Congress to say why it can't be done.

In software terms, this is a user story that was just submitted for development. It's Congress asking the executive branch to do some work, but not actually forcing them to do so.

Why I don't generally like bringing up fiction as proof of my words, Melancholy Elephants story has a very clear and explicit answer why this is a bad idea: http://www.spiderrobinson.com/melancholyelephants.html

What would you say to someone who's starting their career and feels they would tick most if not all of those yellow flags?

I have to say this is an awesome thing to be reading as within a couple of months I'll be taking on my first major project at my new employer. Valuable insight to consider as I proceed.
There's a number of insights I've had:

You won't push yourself as hard when you're by yourself than if you're in a group / personal training setting.

If you do a really hard workout in the morning and you're in tune with your body you can instantly tell if there's something you didn't do right the day before (eating / drinking etc).

If you notice the previous insight it can shape your behaviour the day before your workout (e.g. "I won't drink tonight because I've got a hard workout tomorrow morning"). Exercise can alter your behaviour in life.

Not everyone puts in the same energy into a workout / exercise. To be better than the rest you should focus on technique and always give it your best - even for simple exercises.

You'll advance faster if you work hard on the basics, but to become really good in say a sport one of the main things is to show up consistently and train frequently.

Training doesn't just make your muscles stronger, it strengthens your bones and (perhaps counter-intuitively?) makes you less prone to injury.

The hardest thing is showing up. Once you show up you'll usually do more than you thought you would.
It’s hard to say for such a large company with people in so many countries, but I doubt all that many Googlers work much more than full time. Many have families.
But isn't that through the lens of of self-determinism? China sees Taiwan as a domestic conflict between ROC/PRC, i.e. that Taiwanese are Chinese ( Han). They would never say the same about the U.S. or Russia for example. Not saying China is correct, just that it's pointless to explain their actions or intent based on the wrong model of their values.
I would encourage anyone looking for an open source game engine to first consider Godot, Ogre3D, Panda3D, etc.

Rebranded as "Open 3D" and backed by the linux foundation, O3DE appears to be little more than an open sourced version of Amazon's Lumberyard (which was itself just a purchased copy of CryEngine.)

Ultimately this came from the same Amazon that had this clause in employment contracts of people NOT working in game-related parts of Amazon:

> "I grant to Amazon a royalty free, worldwide, fully paid-up, perpetual, transferrable license to any and all of my intellectual property rights associated with the Personal Game and my Personal Game development."

From the same Amazon Game Studios that has failed to release several titles with YEARS of development in them including: Breakaway, Crucible, Lord of the Rings MMO, Intensity, Nova, etc.

The same Amazon Game Studios whose "New World" MMO had health and gold client-side, allowed inserting arbitrary HTML+JS code into the game chat that would run on other's computers, could kick players from the game, etc.

I don't doubt that this is open source by definition. I don't doubt that the Linux Foundation has allowed this project to live under its umbrella. But the way this came about is a far cry from being in the spirit of open source in my opinion, and rebranding it as "Open 3D" seems just a brilliant marketing trick.

In the best case scenario, Amazon's intentions are to convince the FOSS community to develop their engine to subsidize costs long-term while maintaining ownership of the project broadly, and having full control/ownership of the new "Open3D Foundation" that they can use readily for marketing[0] similar how they do to the Rust foundation[1] to hire talent.

It might not be the worst thing in the world, but seriously, just use any of the other open source engines out there. Godot is great.

I think jedberg's point is that revenue generated is not being factored in.

So Disney, who effectively has a monopoly on certain popular content can copyright it for a long time because they're making so much money off of it, while a small time copyright owner who is making $10k a year will not be able to make money for very long.

The idea is simple... a grid of 4x4 LUTs, each geographic neighbor has 1 bit in, and 1 bit out, there are 16 states, each with 4 outputs.

It's Turing complete, can route around bad cells, and you could securely partition a program to run in part of it, but not all.

I stopped reading at the early point the article asserted Bennett propelled himself to premiership though whatever policies he enacted.

This simply ignores the entirety of a 2 year long politicial crisis whose main actor was the former PM Netanyahu, and in which essentially nothing anyone else did mattered. Once Netanyahu was gone, it was a random twist of fate that brought Bennett ahead of at least 3 other parliamentary leaders.

I find the way American law-making is done to be fascinating. As far as I can tell the US is the only country on Earth where politicians are able to "bundle" completely unrelated things into a single piece of legislation. It definitely doesn't happen here in the UK in any substantial way (laws get amendments added on but they're always at least somewhat related to the main part), and I've never heard of it anywhere else in the world.

It's a truly interesting thing to read about from a negotiation perspective, but it must make the process of actually getting things done in politics really hard.

I wouldn't mind if they federated with Matrix. In fact that would be great. I would mind if they try to control it. Which inevitably happens when a major player invests into a FOSS project on a big scale. They'll start to worm themselves into steering groups and then use that influence to get some return on investment and start steering things towards their goals. In Google's case that would mean lock-in and datamining (and ads but I doubt that would ever fly on Matrix)

And indeed like zaik said below, they used to do XMPP and stopped it. XMPP is pretty good too these days by the way. But I prefer Matrix because of its bridges.

> Vaccination should help reduce the load, but has anything else been done? Hasn't staff in hospitals decreased over the course of the pandemic? Aren't we funneling tons of money to pharma

People can go and get a jab. This is easy. Can be done in minutes. No harm done.

You can't build a hospital like that or get personal cloned from some pool of educated personal. Even if we'd have started 2 years ago. Wtf do you want with a field hospital? Those people don't need bandages...what are you talking about??

I know this smokescreen it just came up all over the anti-vaxxer scene. It's a hilarious attempt to cloud their own responsibility and divert the anger away from them. It won't work because it's so cheap and stupid. Especially coming from people who refuse to accept the easiest and fastest solution.

And NO, hospital overload is the only valid point. By spreading and keeping the pandemic running you also ruin peoples lifes economically. People who depend on crowds coming to their store for example or doing sports with them. Than there is long COVID...

Man...this topic is not new. All those ways this is harmful has been presented in the media over the last years. How can you still be so ignoran December 2021????
From what I’ve read long lasting symptoms are very rare too, but the longer this goes on the more we’ll know about the long term effects of both COVID and vaccines. It’s kind of like a chronic lyme disease thing though, it’s really hard to prove whats going on with some people.

> PC games are probably a bit better

Understatement. 20 year old PC game? Those commonly run with a compatibility layer like Wine. Old titles for DOS, Amiga, whatever? Full blown emulation because the performance requirements are absolutely trivial relative to modern hardware.

Lots of older consoles have impressive emulation efforts but it's definitely hit and miss. Such projects regularly pop up on HN.

Copyright seems broken though, I agree.
It's primarily trust, or lackthereof.

Some of its political, and some of its misinformation.

But mainly people think their governments are either being dishonest or incompetent, or some combination of both. I'll let you decide whether you think that's justified.

But my point is this, when you lose trust in the experts to tell you right from wrong, you will instead resort to making sense of the world by your own ability. Therein lies a whole class of problems that lead to conspiracies and alt remedies.

I would be okay with it if the unvaccinated are still allowed to go places given they can provide a negative test. But ideally, they shouldn't be barred.

I like to think of the covid vaccine as a potentially forced evolution of humanity, of which a certain subset of its constituents favor reducing the rights of those whom refuse it - a group that they were apart of not so long before.

If the fines are more regular and serious, they will mould corporate behaviour ( e.g. see GDPR). If MS get fined a couple of billion each for this Edge crap, and for bundling Edge and Teams into Windows 11, they might think again and take another decade before trying again.

> I think people also have an inflated recollection of how good Google actually was back in 2005.

I've been pointing this out for at least close to a decade.

I know since I bothered to screenshot and blog about it in 2012.

I'll admit mistakes happened back then too, but they were more forgivable like keyword stuffing on unrelated pages. Back then Google were on our side and removed those as fast as possible.

Today however the problem isn't that someone hss stuffed the keyword into an unrelated page but that Google themselves mix a whole lot of completely irrelevant pages into the results, probably because some metrics go up when they do that.

Thinking about it it seems logical that for a search engine that practically speaking has monopoly both on users and as mattgb points out - tonsome degree also on indexing - serving the correct answer first is just dumb: if they can keep me going between their search results and tech blogs with their ads embedded one, two or five times extra that means one, two or five times more ad impressions.

Note that I'm not necessarily suggesting an grand evil master plan here, only that end-to-end metrics will improve as long as there is no realistic competition.
You keep talking about externalities. Obviously those should have a price. That is not a free market issue.

> Why would you leverage signatures?

Because in order to verify that a hash over some secret data is correct you need access to the secret data, which makes it pointless.

Only using a signature can the signer prove that they have knowledge of a secret number (their private key) by providing information that does not reveal the secret (public key, message hash, signature).
Very unclear.

In spite of some propaganda trying to instil the epistemological blasphemy that called anecdotal phenomena irrelevant, "some of us know people directly" to have the notion that consequences should not be taken lightly. And this is valid for the bad-lottery tickets in both infection and vaccination. The risk averse have material for concern.
> a few large dependencies

Unfortunately this does not match my experience :( Rust projects tend to depend on a lot of smaller, single-purposed (or, npm-y) dependencies, for example, Debian's ripgrep package has a X-Cargo-Built-Using saying:

X-Cargo-Built-Using: rust-aho-corasick (= 0.7.10-1), rust-atty (= 0.2.14-2), rust-base64 (= 0.12.1-1), rust-bitflags (= 1.2.1-1), rust-bstr (= 0.2.12-1), rust-bytecount (= 0.6.0-1), rust-byteorder (= 1.3.4-1), rust-cfg-if-0.1 (= 0.1.10-2), rust-clap (= 2.33.3-1), rust-crossbeam-utils (= 0.7.2-2), rust-encoding-rs (= 0.8.22-1), rust-encoding-rs-io (= 0.1.6-2), rust-fnv (= 1.0.6-1), rust-globset (= 0.4.5-1), rust-grep-cli (= 0.1.5-1), rust-grep (= 0.2.7-1), rust-grep-matcher (= 0.1.4-1), rust-grep-pcre2 (= 0.1.4-2), rust-grep-printer (= 0.1.5-1), rust-grep-regex (= 0.1.8-1), rust-grep-searcher (= 0.1.7-1), rust-ignore (= 0.4.16-2), rust-itoa (= 0.4.3-1), rust-lazy-static (= 1.4.0-1), rust-libc (= 0.2.80-1), rust-log (= 0.4.11-2), rust-memchr (= 2.3.3-1), rust-memmap (= 0.7.0-1), rust-num-cpus (= 1.13.0-1), rust-pcre2 (= 0.2.3-1), rust-pcre2-sys (= 0.2.2-1), rust-regex-automata (= 0.1.8-2), rust-regex (= 1.3.7-1), rust-regex-syntax (= 0.6.17-1), rust-ryu (= 1.0.2-1), rust-same-file (= 1.0.6-1), rust-serde (= 1.0.106-1), rust-serde-json (= 1.0.41-1), rust-strsim (= 0.9.3-1), rust-termcolor (= 1.1.0-1), rust-textwrap (= 0.11.0-1), rust-thread-local (= 1.0.1-1), rust-unicode-width (= 0.1.8-1), rust-walkdir (= 2.3.1-1), rustc (= 1.48.0+dfsg1-2)

Building it using cargo with Internet access is a breeze. Figuring out how to `cargo vendor` is not. And the sheer number of the dependencies makes it not practical to manually do stuff.

In short, what cargo actively supports and everyone uses are great, otherwise it's disaster.

I think you are right. It is un-ethical to put others at risk when you could easily avoid that by getting vaccinated.

I personally think it should be a crime or misdemeanor to not get vaccinated because of that.

For a precedent I cite the case of Typhoid Mary. She was forcibly quarantined because she refused to stop putting other people at risk.

Today's anti-vaccers of course say: "You are taking away my liberty to infect others!"
