Compliance is easy : don't add the code that track users and you're compliant.

If you do insist on tracking, make it opt out by default.
What makes you day they are violating readers' privacy rights? It's a not-for-profit student newspaper, they probably just don't want to risk GDPR fines. Or they don't expect readers from Europe.
Getting people vaccinated is crucial before holiday and new year travel. If Omicron is what gets people motivated- so be it.
No :( we think it was just swinging it super hard for a while but pretty unclear unfortunately.

Chances are basically 100% that the EU won't go after a student newspaper, so in practice yes. But in theory no.

> The new variant is basically a bad cold. Why do we still have these silly mandates??

Bold statement. We don’t have enough data for that. All the data is based on situation when mandates are applied. Nobody knows what happens without mandates.

Young people in Africa has still died for this, so it is still quite serious.

To add, it is easy to see biased point of view. In the modern countries there are ICUs which are getting filled already. Once they are full, everyone who is not getting there when needed, will die. If we count every person who went to ICU as dead, how this would change seriousness of Covid?
But from a technical perspective, adding end-point protection everywhere is not only a trend, but often a requirement imposed by law and regulation.

It's degradation, not evolution. Windows 3.11 - 98 control panels were the best. If only they had built-in parameter search option (kind of like VLC's settings advanced view) they would be perfect. All the GUIs should have been searchable by the way, so sad Ubuntu's Unity is dead.
Do you recommend software for the purpose of self-monitoring for this purpose? It doesn't phone home to employer but rather to your own personal surveillance record?
> We need to move on as a society.

Move on to what? Close doors at hospitals and deny help to those in need? What exactly is this place some people want to "move on to" exactly during a f*cking, unsolved pandemic?

Edit:

This also means unsolved to me:

Yes. Yes I do. Dr. Knuth, anyway.

He's not really a programmer, so much as he is a scientist first and foremost. When I think of a "programmer", I think of John Carmack and Tim Sweeney. When I think of computer scientist, I think of Donald Knuth.
Note that this means a PCR-test will have no meaning other than you came in contact with Covid-19 somewhere between now and up to 3 months ago.

The PCR-test measures the existence of virus RNA. Not when you were infected, if you are sick of that virus and also not if you are contagious.

Because the symptoms are now similar to almost all other virus infections there is no way of knowing if you are sick of Omicron after a positive PCR-test.

Edit: For some confused people an example.
You came in contact with Omicron but didn't get sick of it.
2 weeks later you came in contact with the RS virus and this time you got a runny nose so you get a PCR-test. The result is positive from the Omicron contact 2 weeks earlier. So they say you are sick of Omicron. But in fact you are sick of RS.
I am trying really hard to make sense of the past two years and constantly giving the benefit of the doubt, but it's really not easy. So many banal things have become news worthy and it's like all of a sudden everyone completely lost their memory. If someone has told me years before that I will be reading such articles on the news I would probably tell them that they need psychological evaluation. Have people forgotten about respiratory viruses all of a sudden? Do we really need an article to tell us that respiratory viruses cause runny nose, headache and fatigue? And I'm in no way downplaying the past two years but are people forgetting that respiratory viruses have always been a serious thing? Deaths from respiratory viruses have always been in the top of the statistics, every year.

We saw this coming. I read predictions of a right wing backlash to immigration as a kid. In the 80s.

Even in the USA, the nation of immigrants, where we assimilate immigrants the best (comparatively), increased immigration has always leads to a reactionary backlash.

Being very pro-immigration, a big of Matthew Yglesias's One Billion Americans thesis, I have no clue how to move forward.

1) Where? Where specifically are patients being turned away today from care due to overcrowding due to COVID-19?

2) If there are clear answers to #1, why in tarnation isn't our response, "OK, we need to improve the health care systems in these marginalized communities?" Why instead would we even consider repeating the failed, class-based horizontal interdiction efforts which have terrorized these same communities and cut them off from their centers of support (eg, schools)?
I don’t think so. I just think they are a bullshit artist. Where is that very critical HN opinions of extrovert MBAs that don’t or know do anything, but keep getting promotions because they are good at bullshitting? Suddenly if it is a fellow engineer doing the same they are actually “working in the back of their minds in very hard problems”? How convenient.
I've always viewed the popularity of the far-right as being a result of a general sense of hopelessness that turns to resentment.

Right wing media feeds off that hopelessness and apportion blame to a convenient target, one that usually can't speak up for itself. The homeless, immigrants, benefits claimants are favourite examples.

At the same time they portray the people responsible for the decisions that lead to that hopelessness as uniquely competent by taking a tough approach on the scapegoats.

The only real way of reducing the temperature is to make those people more secure, financially and socially. You don't care if your neighbour is a Polish plumber if you're not worrying about making rent/paying bills.

Conservative parties normally won't enact the measures necessary to cool things down, since they typically benefit electorally and convincing those already in the pipeline is extremely difficult.

Workers in India have it rough, the concept of releasing letters[0] is quite offensive to my western ear. You give me permission to leave?

With H1B it's not much better in the US, lets say your job is taking advantage of you, working you 80 hour weeks, one day you decide that you want to go to your daughters big soccer game and they fire you for it. Find a new job in 30 days (?) or move out of the country. Children in the workhouses during industrial revolution had more mobility. Absolutely bonkers. Clearly designed to be explotative.

My Indian peers have been as good as my western ones on average. I understand the motivations, but you guys really don't have to put up with this. If anyone should revolt it's them.

We actually don't know if the new variant is milder than Delta. And even if it is milder,
ir is spreading so rapidly that a small proportion of severe cases could still flood hospitals.

It's worth remembering that a particular flaw of IRV which is not shared by all multiple selection voting systems is that it can incentivize putting a low-popularity party ahead of your more popular preference, since your vote will very likely transfer. This is called "non-monotonicity" and has been documented e.g. here:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-05-04/an-example-of-non-mon...

But the Australian system is still much better than the first-choice-only method used in most electorates. You don't have the situation (discussed in the article) where an extreme faction can usurp a major party by being unified in the primaries. By shuttling "One Nation" voters to their own party, you give them a little representation, but you keep a lid on it. Meanwhile, you give a voice to new perspectives that might be ignored for a long time in a two-party system.

Thanks so much :) Really glad you liked it. I love making these videos. They just take so long to make. I love these final "showcase" type videos that are really cleanly edited but I'm also considering mixing in "here's how it's going right now" and releasing those videos more frequently to show that process before I release the final video (that is edited like this one).

Any thoughts about that?!
This “authorize charge” change is really giving headache both to customers and companies. If person owning CC is not available, emails are misses, etc. so scheduled e-mail campaigns are not sent, backups are not done, scheduled data loads were not performed, etc.

Basically running business is getting harder and harder in India.

So this one thing why USA is still leader: not because it is “great” but because it is still “Wild West” (sure somebody will say “free country” - let’s be honest it is more of a “Wild West”)
Clearly the only logical solution, based on science(tm) and all available data is to force everyone to stay at home until further notice.
Thank you, you are totally correct; we are living 50 years after, and those pipelines are different. I tried, without great success, to create perspective in a very one-sided thread.

This link is interesting indeed. While there was some fair criticism of this study, I do agree with the conclusion:

"I agree that blind auditions can make sense—even if they do not have the large effects claimed in that 2000 paper, or indeed even if they have no aggregate relative effects on men and women at all."
Which hospitals in the US are overwhelmed? Keep the hospitals open, treat people who are sick, give vaccines to people who will accept them. We've had this vaccine for about a year now. Either people who are vaccinated should return to their lives or this vaccine isn't very helpful.
We are talking about different things here. You assume the company put you in a position where making $1,000,000 mistakes is reasonable. My point is that companies wont put you in such a position unless you have enough experience that they trust you wont make the mistake. Similarly, for them to put you in a position where you are allowed to make $1,000,000,000 mistakes you need even more experience.

That is why company CEO's have tons of experience if they were hired, they were forced to take the slow path of slowly ramping up the mistakes they were allowed to make. Compare with Bill Gates who was the CEO of a massive global company when he was 30, he ramped up to big mistakes really quickly, no company hires like that.
Asking basic questions about floating-point in interviews remains to this day a good way to distinguish good and bad programmers.

You'd think everyone would know the basics, but even in stuff like finance, people routinely fuck up decimals.
In Germany we now need to wait until the hospitals have capacity again to treat regular stuff like broken arm. So I presume lockdowns and/or covid rules will stay active until hospitalizations are down. Whether Omnicron causes lots of hospital cases by damaging more cells or by being highly infectious is secondary. The primary issue is that hospitals are too full.

Google isn't one entity any more, it sounds like it's more like some kind of unofficial in-house version of YC except with more politics because the startups are more closely coupled.

Also DeepMind didn't come out of Google, it came out of some British boffins that got acquired for squillions (comparatively, I mean it's only a serious and arguably somewhat successful attempt at building general AI, it's not like it's adtech or finance or something else really important...) and as far as I can see the number one thing Google has done to help them, other than throwing money at them, is to otherwise leave them the hell alone.

I think you're not looking at the numbers the way I do.

1. The closest to reality is probably the 70k figure, since the requirements for probable and confirmed are held to unusually high standards (sequencing of one or both samples).

2. The numbers have to be adjusted by date to make sense of them. That's a cumulative analysis of data since the beginning of the pandemic, meaning first infections are overrepresented because you have to have a first to have a second, and because most first infections require uninfected people and there are way more of those.

3. Page 20 shows reinfection rate was climbing along with first infections before widespread vaccination, and also that reinfection rate is receding as first infections climb lately. Statistically it's expected to grow as the previously infected population grows. This, if anything, displays that vaccination in previously infected individuals is effective at preventing reinfection.

I'm old so I still think compiling css is wild

And I was really thinking this was going to be something that took away not just npm and node and whatever else, but the entire build/compile step

Then I read 'self-extracting executable' or similar and had an inside smile

Tho it does seem like it could be a step in the right direction

Maybe it's just an unsolvable problem

I do feel like it's only us olds that complain about compiling css

It's prob part of why that ruby instead of node post blew up -- modern web dev sucks

So prob +1 for making it slightly less sucky

Tho wish tw never displaced bootstrap from Laravel
> Isn't it time for those of us who have had two doses, or even three (I have yet another one scheduled a week from now...), to stop worrying and start enjoying life the way it is meant to be lived?

Yes, and I would add, time to stop worrying so much about what other people are doing. People are getting really worked up about how so-and-so hasn't been vaccinated or so-and-so doesn't wear a mask properly. It's one more newly promoted category upon which we can focus our vehement, irrational tribalism.
> We have all the data one could hope to have, vaccines, treatments

It's still going to be at least 8 months before everyone in the US can get vaccinated. And that's assuming the Pfizer vaccine gets approved for those under five in January, which seems less and less likely given that we haven't seen any updates on that in weeks.
This newspaper would not fall under the jurisdiction of the GDPR since they do not come under the targeting provision.

> Drata is a vendor that helps a company navigate your SOC2 compliance process, by organizing all the controls and helping you gather evidence that you have done so. For instance, they'll connect with Github and make sure everyone with access to your repos is a company employee.

In other words, Drata is a CYAaaS.

I think the fact that the parties that are in favor of leaving NATO have very little political relevance speaks for itself.
And my anecdotal evidence after living my entire live in Germany is, that most people just don't care, and even the people that care and like NATO outnumber the ones that hate them. It's just my experience though.
And if you're so deep into conspiracies, that your only explanation is that "the media" faked the poll (and possibly even the election, wtf) then I don't think there is any value in continuing this discussion.

What matters is how much pressure it puts on the health system. There are 3 things to consider here:

1. how many people end up in ICU (which for Omicron we don't know yet), and at what point ICU becomes overwhelmed in a given region. Once the ICU capacity is exceeded, the mortality rates for bad cases goes way up.

2. How many illnesses unrelated to Covid go untreated due to load on the health system, and subsequently how many excess deaths this causes.

3. After 5-6 months, a lot of vaccine immunity starts dropping off. A regions capacity to get booster doses delivered makes a difference here.

As far as I can tell developed countries largely aren't dealing with hospital overcrowding. If I don't go to an in person event in a large American city, will this prevent cases from occurring in say, eastern Europe? In the aggregate and at the margin, maybe, but this is a highly dubious claim.

The jury is still out, but data from SA indicates it might closer to a mild cold than bad cold.
In this instance most societies have decided that discrimination by gender is a negative for society irrespective of whether or not you can come up with a metric that gives one gender a higher value to the company, so no.

But it would still be important to understand how the AI would assign value because it would matter to ensure that it does not apply criteria that are not legal.

At the same time, what this seems to suggest is also that purely judging by other factors in resumes might effectively act as a proxy for directly judging by gender. As such the more interesting question to me is whether that means that deciding based on such factors might put employers at risk of claims of gender discrimination.
> there is no way of knowing if you are sick of Omicron after a positive PCR-test.

Huh? I though Omicron was particularly obvious on a PCR test (spike-negative but virus-positive).
