If you catch the flu once your immune system remembers it and can easily deal with exposure much better, but this memory fades in time. Your immune system isn't perfect either, and there are breakthrough cases, and this is more frequent in the elderly, albeit frequently milder. The vaccine offers protection similar to catching the flu (albeit much better in the case of the mRNA and J&J ones (<10% infected compared to ~50% infected in traditional technology) but protection is not guaranteed.

I'm disappointed I'm explaining this, I thought it's common knowledge that vaccines offer great protection but not invulnerability.

> Why do you want to punish people who managed to keep their job because you don't like the fact they are scared of covid ?

These very same tech workers have zero problems punishing the rest of society and selfishly forcing them to cower to their fears. So yeah, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Very little tech work is “essential”. So they should be on unemployment… let them wake up and realize the world doesn’t revolve around a fucking respiratory virus.

It requires a lot of privilege to be scared of Covid.
I think you will have to click my username "lcall" then find the url there, for my personal site, then follow the instructions in my earlier comment. It appears I posted links to my site a few times too many (thinking I had written valuable content, I suppose; nothing for sale), and comments linking to my site are now shadow-banned. Dang (the admin) was kind though, and I'm not totally banned. :) Let me know if that doesn't work. Suggestions (here or emailed; address is in site footer) are appreciated.
Yes, but it's a greatly abbreviated process for each year's new version of the Flu vaccine.

Going forward, the FDA has already said that a reformulation of the mRNA Covid vaccine would face a similarly shortened approval process.

> We need more people like the old Linus that are more concerned with the quality of the artifact than increasing the size of a community

There is a difference between (a) maintaining high code quality and review standards and (b) yelling at people and/or degrading them.

With this in mind, think through the first-order and second-order effects that happen when toxic leadership behavior is allowed, tolerated, or encouraged in an open source project.

Toxic leadership in an open source project, all other things equal, harms the project and the people.

Of course, historically, there are cases where intelligent and committed people exhibit toxic behaviors -- but this is not a pattern of behavior for us to aspire to. Quite the opposite.

I understand that many people (including software developers) struggle in interpersonal interactions. I don't demonize people when they are unaware or lack the tools to treat others with respect. But these behaviors have huge negative effects, so it reasonable and beneficial to have fair, humane codes of conduct to mitigate such negative patterns of behavior.
Centos cancelled for the benefit of Redhat and detriment of many of its users.
Kernel changes that exclude users of 10year+ older hardware.
Corporate-backed campaign to discredit ethos leaders and defenders of user rights and veteran contributors - Redhat turning back on FSF and Richard Stallman, OSI banning Eric Raymond.
Ubuntu and Redhat losing interest in needs of desktop and small business users, putting most efforts into features for big cloud operations.
User group events degraded / cancelled.

Yeah Debian is still keeping mostly pro-user but they are not the leader in the cutting edge of development. Distributions innovating more do exist, but they are very small part of the Linux world. Most of it is Redhat, Ubuntu and hardware vendors.

Systemd, GNOME, GPU drivers are very windowsey; tightly coupled big software that one is discouraged to study and improve, almost as bad as their closed source counterparts on Windows.
Found the NFO! Some bits:

Sorry for the English, I do not speak well -- so, some idioms

This release should serve as a life lesson to those who consider
themselves as "people 'blue' blood." It aims - in some ways
to bring down pride (swallow their pride), to tell these people
where to get off. Show that, besides them, there are other people
who should at least respect, appreciate their work and consider to
their opinions (or at least listen to).

This release is dedicated to one man and one company, which behave
antisocial, defiant, arrogant, are not considered to anybody or
anything, and therefore need to conduct a little "educational" work
from the community.

*** Let's start in order: one man - Ilfak Guilfanov.

I wanted to write a lot, then I thought - it makes no sense.

And so, in principle, nothing much to tell. Those who are "in" know
a lot about this person. It is impossible to buy IDA even if you
really want to do. I described some details about this in my blog,
'ida' tag (do not linking here, if you need - you will find it).
Also, you can read some more here (Russian only):

I apologize to crackers who were recruited in HexRays SA, you are
in some measure also falls under attack. But your head, sadly,
leaves no other choice.

In December 2007, after a memorable revelations of Ilfak in the
topic http://www.idapro.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=463, occurred
after warez-release of the IDA v5.5, I created another topic
http://www.idapro.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=458. In it I outlined
some thoughts about "double standards" of the author of IDA. Just
a small example. Struck up a brief conversation, which resulted in
Ilfak behaved absolutely inadequate (in his usual manner) and I was
banned on the forum. But that's not all. Before I was banned, he is
sent me a private message (PM):

I recommend to reconsider your attitude to people and to express
your thoughts in dealing with them.

In any case, at the moment you "reap" is what you had "sow" by
yourself.
I do not soft-pedal such things.

*** Next: company - ESET - NOD Antivirus developer

There is a saying: "Curses like chickens come home to roost"
(I have already voiced it in relation to you in 2008-2009th years).
Now it's time.

So, the characters from ESET (a minimum):

* J M - the main short-sighted and po-faced personage
* M Z (Customer [Un]Care; z@eset.sk)
* D N (Virus Researcher)

The ESET company treats software developers (small companies and
individual developers of shareware-products) as a shit, and does
not hide this.

I played roguelikes and IF games before they came into mainstream... again. About 2003-2004, under Linux and some 8 bit micropc emulators.

Most game scripts (scripts as in literature) were previously in most IF games as a concept, even with time travel or twisted world mechanics. Nothing is truly new.

I was using Super+a as a lauching prompt since forever, now a lot of environments use it because it perfectly fits to the left hand.

CLI IM'img/IRC, with or without Bitlbee. Already done in mid 2000's. Fun as hell, no anoying spamming or notifications. Now everyone has a Weechat plugin.

There was a Gopher revival in ~2007, now Gemini came over as a companion for modern devices.
Keenan Crane has been doing incredible work in this field for the last few years. I'm following his work avidly.
This is my experience as well as someone who lived in NYC for >10 years.

For example, I was living downtown during Sandy and my area lost power for 4 days. The police were there to deter looting and property crime. Every hour or so, a police cruiser drive down my street with lights on but no siren checking for crime.

I'd walk home at 3-4am and feel completely safe. This was in Manhattan and I realize the outer boroughs are, at least in part, a different story.

I once had a car alarm go off outside my window at 2:30am early Sunday. While deciding what to do I called 311 after about 10 minutes. While talking to them a police car rolled up and officers broke into the car and disabled the alarm. I went out and talked to them and said they'd respond to any unattended car alarm, which was defined as an alarm that had been going off for more than 10 minutes.

And here's a big one: lower income people are infinitely better off in NYC than SF IMO. While Subway coverage isn't complete in the outer boroughs, lower income people aren't typically burdened by the costs of car ownership and having to drive 4+ hours a day to get to and from work (unlike, say, the people who drive the tech giant buses [1]).

It confused me why so many self-described liberals didn't see or didn't want to see the misery in their own city, caused by policies they supported to turned a blind eye to.

"Seems designed"

We don't believe things because they seem a certain way. You need to prove it is designed.

And even if something is designed, how does that drag along the 2000 years of baggage associated with the popular religions? OK so there is a creator. How do I prove they actually turned Lot's wife into a pillar of salt?

And if we aren't talking about the "christian god" necessarily, then what this the point of the conversation? Spiritualism outside of the major religions is a rounding error, and I won't debate your belief in that, unaffiliated spiritualists are not organizing and designing the laws in our country to align with their unproven beliefs.

I think that's one reason i dislike it - its basically overly vauge and confusing to evade criticism. Hard to criticize something without a clear definition. The other side can just always say you're defining it wrong and deflect all criticism
Well I guess the answer is yes but since I never encountered that issue in the first place I wouldn't consider my opinion definitive. I did just test tabs in iTerm and Finder, both functioned just fine without any weirdness. Hope that helps!
Second that. His thinking and what he does is astounding. I am envious of his ability to string things together but most so of his thinking of new ideas.
It's not about theology. It's about politics. "As political scientist David Campbell of Notre Dame demonstrated in a recent essay, the perceived confluence between Evangelicalism and the most reactionary forces in the Republican party is a major reason for the upsurge in the percentage of Americans who self-identify as nonreligious or wholly secular."

The problem (as others have said) is ownership is a legal construct not a mathematical one. A smart contract may not be recognized as a valid contract in a court of law, or have precedent over say the actual handshake agreement.

Even ignoring that, many NFTs do not convey any ownership of the digital work, but rather of the NFT itself.

So far the most likely value is in a platform that actually lets you leverage that ownership, such as Meta letting you put a framed monkey on the wall in your virtual home. But that sort of platform tie-in means it is basically the same as say the DRM-encoumbered media stores we've seen go bye - ownership which is only recognized within a platform is only really providing durable value to that platform.
Oh well, there goes any chance of getting district heating this lifetime
I called it "the sane version of Conservatism". There are many others. Political scientists probably have a more specific name for mine. I should learn that some day.

Yeah, many people with very different ideas call themselves conservatives.

> I've never known conservatism to be anything except opposition to change as that's the most conservative thing you can generally do: nothing.

Have you never known conservatives wanting to lower taxes, deregulate the economy, and decentralize decision making?

Religious texts tend not to contain a lot of the bigoted mores usually ascribed to them--be it the Torah, the Bible, the Quran, what have you. Instead, a lot of this tends to originate from non-scriptual sources, such as the opinions of religious experts over the centuries interpreting these texts and imposing their own beliefs as ironclad scriptual law.

(There's a particular irony when this happens in Christianity, as one of the main themes of Jesus' teaching is that strictly following religious law doesn't inherently make you a good person; the main villains of the New Testament are holier-than-thou religious types.)
The problem with counter-surveillance is you take a risk doing it. Maybe your technique works, maybe you've got an advantage...but you don't know. And if it doesn't work, a good adversary will also not take immediate action either.
What you're saying would be fine if topics all came up in a vacuum with no priors and could be treated and dissected interchangeably. But that's very much not the case. In the real world we have to deal with, the topic of sexual harassment has a long history. In the context of that history, a comment responding to a claim of sexual harassment by dismissively belittling it is breaking the HN guidelines—not just the one I mentioned above, but others too, like this one:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

Not to mention:

"Eschew flamebait."

And I think we could add this one too:

"Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine."

I'm not saying people have to accept everything that gets said in every such article, but there's an art to addressing these things without blowing up the thread. Many of the comments in this thread are on the wrong side of that line.
Credit? Sure, they can take 100x the value of the median engineer who worked on the project.

Smartphones failed for a bunch of reasons in the 2000s, recognizing the convergence of touch screens, and mobile broadband was pretty smart. It likely would have happened within 6-12 months of when it did, if an engineer/pm failed to convince Steve jobs that the iPhone was a good idea.
Neuroscience models this at least in part as a limbic-cortex feedback loop.

Bonobo tribes have killed their alphas and developed egalitarian social ways. I sometimes wonder if we have to figuratively end billionaires to end the abstract model of hierarchy. He who is highest on the wealth leader board controls agency like priests of old.
Really?

The whole point of a command economy is to have a central planning authority that oversees production of x tons of potatoes, y tons of steel and z T-34 tanks. They explicitly ignore abstract financial metrics like GDP and stock prices. They still ruined the environment.

Unless you're arguing that the mere existence of abstract concepts somehow degrades the environment, I don't see how this proves your point.
Kik and Fring were Android apps I used in 2009. I doubt many were using video calling on smartphones before that.

> So, in a 5V system, zero is represented by 0V, and one by 5V. And sure enough, if you could look in enough detail at the voltages, you'd find that sometimes the zero was actual 0.001V and the one was actually 4.912881V.

It’s way cooler than that. Sit back and watch the master explain it: https://youtu.be/eq5YpKHXJDM
I was fascinated to learn , recently that the Puritans became Unitarians! Overtime the religion wandered a lot as each generation reinterpreted what they believed- and it went from being what we call 'puritanical' to a generally more progressive faith. You can go into some of the most liberal Unitarian churches in New England and the original pastor was an OG puritan.

Re. corporatey, windowsey, see my answer above.

The problem with old HW support is that the hardware is fine, the drivers are available and fine, but the kernel people decided to throw them out and replace by newer drivers which can run only newer HW products. Developers/vendors could be more user-friendly and keep support for the older hardware since the older compatible drivers exist, but they often don't.
Not sure about the Tenderloin specifically, but often the causality is the reverse of what you suggest: people develop mental health and drug issues due to the pressures they face after becoming homeless.
Work at a large shit hole place. I'm so content on doing nothing and getting paid. Used to work hard but then management ruined it all. Now if i try hard, nothing comes of it so there is no point. If anything, people get upset when you try to actually solve problems, ask hard questions, or generally make progress.

I started doing a 2nd & 3rd job now actually as a consultant during the day. My clients? Old co-workers and such that i established great working relationships with. They dont give a shit about titles and know me (or the other guy who does good work but has meh title). I'm getting paid 3x my shitty day job salary as hourly rate.

Honestly now it's a god damn sitcom. I write code for like 5 hours a week and produce more value then all these high paid numbskulls in our org. Pull an extra 10-20 hours of consulting during the week and suddenly i'm the one laughing and smiling. Instead of being salty at the mckinsey fuckwads who come in , make shit loads more than me and do nothing.

I'll never forget the one super high paid data engineer from mckinsey. His linkedin reads like a corporate synergistic bonergasm for suits. His solution to all of our data problems? Oh man just put it in redis, redis is faster than a relational DB. thanks you dingus, take you zillion dollar contract $$$ and go frigg off to some other soulless corporation.
Get cancer and die, rat.
To me the reason why I don't think it really matters how the people of SF self-label is that they profess a lot of beliefs that they fail to carry out, in spite of the overwhelming electoral power they possess. People in SF, and California at large, will talk until they're blue in the face about wanting various things to be better (like, as I mentioned in my first post, universal health care: something that is clearly within the power of a state to enact) but when it comes time for anyone to enact those policies it fails time and time again.

In other words, while I think it's important to recognize the significance of self-identification, doing so while ignoring incredibly evident hypocrisy is a kind of solipsism.

I think you misread the page, as it says that Red Hat has 13,400 employees, which is 22x more than 600, not "almost twice" :)

But also, both numbers are also outdated. The Canonical employee count is apparently around 500 in 2020 [0] and the Red Hat employee count is no longer public post-acquisition, but it's higher than it was in 2019.
