Yes, which is why we should be only vaccinating "important, large, and uniquely at risk sub-population"s.

Is this only news "because Tesla"? User jcims mentioned Ford's having the same feature. Probably GM's do, too. For years, I've seen occasional news stories about car dealers adding similar features to vehicles which they sell to buyers with sketchy credit.
The germans' attitude to privacy is... incoherent, to put it mildly. People get up in arms about the weirdest things, such as the Google Street View you mention. Thousands of people see an apartment building's facade every day, so what does blurring it on Google Maps give the residents, privacy-wise?

And yet, people are amazingly complacent în other aspects ("War halt immer so"). For example, your apartment's doorbell has to have your last name on it: someone with an unusual name could conceivably be tracked down just by postal code. For another example, when I was blogging, I had to display my full name and address in an Impressum on the website - dox myself, so to speak.

And, of course, the Berlin government forces people to register their address, and allows everyone to query it, because why wouldn't they:

Above 75% is roughly considered to be high occupancy. Efficiency drops at that point for various reasons, such as the difficulty in moving patients between units due to a lack of beds. These numbers are also comprised of large regions of the state with multiple facilities, but the facilities still operate independently.

For adults, those regions of Michigan have the following ICU utilizations:

Region 1: 90%

Region 2N: 82%

Region 2S: 89%

Region 3: 94%

Region 5: 85%

Region 6: 87%

Region 7: 94%

Region 8: 72%

The NYT compiles per-hospital stats at [1], although the data is incomplete.

If Detroit were to not have beds available for patients, one option might be to transport patients as far away as Cleveland. There's a recent article discussing the situation at the Cleveland Clinic's 64 bed MICU [2].

This implies that you have no-one in your team to do code reviews and that you're fine allowing random third parties access to your infrastructure and a peek into your projects and code base... Both the premise and the proposed solution sound very odd to me.
Maybe. Probably you're right.

What I am thinking right now: How will this affect me as European wanting to access US sites? There are already a bunch of sites that completely exclude European traffic on IP level.

It's great to have data privacy. I am totally for it. But it comes at a cost. People are not willing to talk about this cost, let alone take it into account when making a decision.
I am, yes. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear about that before, but in no way I think that what I'm doing is better than what other people are doing. When I question the priority of human and animal welfare, I do it from a position of curiosity, not of superiority. My point is that if you want to convince me that animal welfare should be the thing to focus on right now, articles like that aren't helping, since they can easily be replicated to defend other positions.
> I'd imagine since then awareness has risen massively, so if anything people would likely be more concerned today.

It's sadly the opposite; It's so normalized that a whole generation was born into it and don't even see anything wrong about it.

All a lot of them see is how Google is giving them "free services" and how Facebook allows them to make "free friends", and then they declare; That's the web, and that's how the web has always been and how it should be.

And who can blame them; They never knew any other web than the glorified digital mall [0] it has mostly become.

The advantage of autonomous cars is that they can resist their owner. That enables big cost savings for everyone (insurance, manufacturer, rental, leasing, repo). Well, everyone except for the "owner".
Right, that’s fair, I was overreacting a bit because you left out the age qualifier.

For reference the under 40 stats are (4, 9) + (12, 16) extra events for moderna vs

My response isn’t hand-wavy, it’s pretty categorical: the problem is that people can’t deal with uncertainty, and fill in too many blanks in their minds with over-simplistic assumptions. If you’re looking for a full picture of certainty about the future, that’s not exactly what science will give you.
I think that is exactly the way we are heading as pandemic becomes endemic.

A yearly shot for vulnerable people possibly rolled in with your flu shot (or at least scheduled the same way).

I go get my flu shot every year since I'm classed as vulnerable for health reasons - the exact same reasons I went and got both covid shots and the booster the second I could.
Surely no single celled organism built a spaceship or other launch system to go into space because it wanted to do so?

The ability of humans to willingly create the technology to do it is what counts, in this case.
I know, I tried(and probably failed) to explain to OP why his simple idea to "just make the browsers disable third pary cookies" or other technical solutions are not going to work, you need GDPR like laws to focus on the actual problem and not some technical implementation because developers will find workarounds for technical only stuff.

Browsers could help by implementing a standard GDPR popup for this shitty websites to share , at least it will not be same dark pattern UX, broken implementation shit this sites use today.

Browsers could do a lot of good things if they would focus on the actual users needs and not on what some developer feels cool to work on or what soem giant company ants to implement next.
> I think it'd be interesting to wait and see if keeping those measures in place , even if covid threats magically disappeared overnight, would reduce other infections (common cold, flu, etc.).

That’s a hard no from me, we can’t keep moving the goalposts for giving things like mask mandates and social distancing the boot. Three million plastic masks get thrown away every minute, each of which takes centuries to degrade and potentially introduces micro-plastic pollution into the food chain. I’m not going to contribute to this environmental catastrophe a second more than the law requires me to.

Keep masks and distancing on a personal basis for those who want them, but the mandates must end the instant it’s possible for them to. COVID culture does enormous collateral damage to the environment and to many industries, we can’t keep it enforced by law on the basis of ‘perhaps’, ‘maybe’, or ‘the common cold’.

0 out of 79 cases requiring hospitalization? If we assumed a _generous_ vaccination rate of, say, 80% for SA or GB, then we could say that 16 of these cases are with unvaccinated individuals. So, 0 out of 16 is still pretty good for no hospitalizations.

Or am I figuring this wrong?

> I imagine that when storage became more plentiful OS developers became less interested in implementing solutions to problems of this nature and who can blame them really.

You say this like making an application this way is some difficult problem. The whole point of me pointing out that it was the way applications worked on a Mac in 1984 (or indeed any of a dozen other desktop OSs) is that it isn't actually difficult at all. The difficulty it appears to have on Linux is all artificially induced by the culture of Linux software development.

> Linux is a tinkerers OS (that just happened to become popular for servers) and expecting it to change its stripes is asking a lot :-)

I don't expect it to change. I've been hoping Linux people would see the light for 20 years and it hasn't changed. That doesn't mean I have to like it or pretend that it's a good idea.

If you genuinely want people to understand why they're wrong, then know that this is not the way to do it.
It was a separate example of the logical fallacy.
I think the idea that germans are the victims of history (and that's why they're so sensitive about oppression) is actually older than the stasi, or the nazis. Hitler, for instance, uses the theme an awful lot in his speeches. It just got a big boost from the post-holocaust psychological judo where germans recast themselves as the victims of the nazi dictatorship, rather than the enthusiastic supporters.

It leads to some funny statements, to be sure. The woman who said she felt like Sophie Scholl because she had been in coronavirus lockdown was one example - but honestly, if you mess with somebody's parking place, they're about two sentences away from saying you're literally the NS-diktatur.

Still, if it leads to a sense of urgency over privacy, I'm all for it.
That's a 50% increase in relative risk. Or as the pharma companies would call it, 'a risk increase of 50%'
While I agree that there should be more discussion about what should/shouldn't be decentralized and to what extent, the huge issue right now that's responsible for how heated of a debate this is right now, is in the implementation. It seems almost like it's already been decided by players in the decentralization space that the only solution is a blockchain with a token economy model that sits nicely alongside -- or in fact integrates with -- crypto trading, NFTs, etc. Now add to it the rat race everyone is in to transition to a DAO as soon possible, despite the existing insane complexity modification difficulty of blockchain platforms, or that the DAO concept has a short history but one filled with failures, and we're left with something that, frankly, frightens me.

I'm not anti-crypto, and in fact I work in the space and am primarily focused on some areas I feel are in need of being "decentralized" in the CDN and streaming video spaces. And while a ton of technical progress has been made, I can't shake the feeling that we are in many cases implementing this stuff wrong, or haven't even bothered to address the "how" or "why" in as much length as one should before going out and building it.

It is a matter to know the tools and hardware.
Who is legally the owner when a car is repossessed?

I'd say autonomous vehicles are pro-social machines. They will, in general, act to follow the rules established, ideally more often than a "dumb" car operated by a human.

Given how many traffic accidents are human caused, that's sort of the point of the entire exercise.
You don't own the vehicle if you have a loan, the bank has the title. The title holder is the owner. The best part about paying off a financed car, to me anyway, is the day the title shows up in the mail and you actually own your car.
You’re thinking about the booster wrong. Having a vaccine for the ancestral strain is actually pretty great, because it confers (or has to this point) some level of protection against all child strains due to there being at least enough similarity still.

If you make some highly specific omicron booster, it might not do anything against whatever variant comes next.

As long as the original shot keeps working, it’s the best one to ride with for now.
They have the Google logo in both "Work with world-class engineers" and "See why thousands of teams trust PullRequest". With the latter being next to the customer testimony section, if they are only suggesting that Google engineers do the reviewing that's quite disingenuous.
Unfortunately it doesn't work if you forbid unbound variables with set -u. Like this (as suggested in the Unofficial strict mode article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8054440):

$cat z
#!/bin/bash

set -u # fail if unset variable is used

if [[ -n ${COLODEBUG} && ${-} != *x* ]]
then
:() {
[[ ${1:--} != ::* ]] && return 0
printf '%s\n' "${*}" >&2
}
fi

echo hello
$./z
./z: line 10: COLODEBUG: unbound variable
$

The -n test should look like this:

if [[ -n ${COLODEBUG:-} && ${-} != *x* ]]
Just because they thought they were right doesn’t mean they were, though…

Yes, some people can be wrong.
I think from a certain size on, they have to take them back. I understand smaller stores not wanting/having to bother. But maybe I'm wrong, after all I almost exclusively buy from REWE, so it's never something I encounter personally.
That group is also men and women. If it were broken down even further to just 'men' the effect would likely be even more pronounced.

> Apparently I'm not the only one since there are a lot of business that offer "cookie policy management" as a service for companies.

Those companies exist solely to prey on people who can't find their way to a site like gdpr.eu

Let me give you all of the law you couldn't understand in simple statements:

1. you don't track your users by default. period. no consent is needed

2. you need to store some data about a user because that is crucial to the core functionality of the website (e.g., keep user logged in, keep a user's shopping cart etc.), then you can use those cookies, and those cookies alone, for that functionality, and that functionality alone.

2.2. Do not store personally identifiable data. If you do, you're liable for protecting and not leaking it. When a user requests this, you must delete al of that user's data

3. For literally everything else you have to ask the user's consent.

If you were actually building a simple website, you could've stopped at 1.
This doesn't work for Vivaldi for some reason. I get a dark grey screen, text says "Press esc to exit full screen mode" for a few seconds, then that disappears leaving just the dark grey.

This is also the case on up-to-date regular Firefox on Linux, and has been for several years.
Interesting. It must be recorded at the county or something then? I haven’t seen a title for a vehicle in quite some time.
A lot of energy and effort is put in playing the game of "guessing" how much a given "currency" is worth to others who are also guessing ... etc.

Strategies range from ... fancy analytical methods finding intricate patterns in order to try to capitalize from inevitable regularities by magnifiying fluctuations on a short time scale and maximizing frequency ... to mining, staking ... to simply HODL.
Not to mention the f*ery on top and in between trying to profit from common "strageties" by pumping, hyping, dumping, inducing FUD ... finally knighted by tweets of centibillionaires.

Every "currency" afaik (which is transparent of course) is a disaster in terms of wealth distribution. It is not a trivial issue to solve and some inequality is healthy and desirable but for me it still remains the big elephant in the room nearly everybody invested in the "crypto space" - understandbly so - glosses over some to the point of simply equating technologically decentralized = sociologically decentralized eg DeFi.

Another example to better illustrate my point:
The game "monopoly" was meant to be educative and enlighting on the destructive centralizations at the beginning of the 20th century but the board game was enjoyed so much that its "purpose" is now a long forgotten remnant. I kind of feel the same when looking back at the original paper "A peer to peer electronic cash system"
published in the wake of the "banking crisis". The game of betting on the right coin to attain "LAMBO" (the "Hotel" in Monopoly-Lingo) is enjoyed so much that it ends to be ironically - beside all honorable intentions - the driving force.

It's already the future you live in.

Repo agents, for decades, will roll up on a vehicle and hook it up to a tow truck and take off. People go out of their way to hide their vehicles, or block them in with other vehicles, when they haven't paid their loan and know their vehicle is now eligible for repossession.

This just makes it safer for the repo agents, because they can recover the vehicle faster and don't have to risk some nutjob running out of a house/apartment/office with a bat/gun/knife trying to confront them because someone was like "Dave, someone's hooking your car up to a tow truck".

I guess not, how would that even work?... I guess if you like the LaTeX version, in TeX you could write new commands that evaluate the expression instead of/as well as displaying it.

I don't know APL, but it seems the most condensed language for doing mathematical stuff. In APL (I looked it up) you'd write "!6". Try/learn APL online here https://tryapl.org/

In Julia you can use Unicode characters as variable names, write e.g. "2π" instead of "2*PI", and it's easy to "operator overload", so that e.g. "+" adds/combines together 2 or more of whatever things you want to add/combine, whatever they are, in whatever way you like. Or add new operators. Thus lines of code in Julia can get a lot closer to looking like mathsy/sciency expressions than in most languages.

Try this: after listening to a story or to a lecture, retell it to someone else in as much detail as possible. Or try defending lecturer's position or what their information implies. You'll be shocked to discover, you don't know enough details.

You'll have to listen another time, and off goes the profit of x2 speed. But even after listening multiple times, it's still very hard to argue for, or retell in details what's been said. Unless it's a radio show, where information is sparse.
Absolutely. You will find that I was very specific about the unfairness these regulations impose on the ill equipped.

Amazon is always going to find a way to work within the limits of whatever the EU throws at them. Begrudgingly, certainly, but eventually in strides, and with the confidence that an army of lawyers and other smart people does offer. They can even willingly chose to work outside of it, because heck, breaking the law is just another business expense.

Your typical local mom and pop store is likely unaware of what the boundaries are, where they are, what it all means, how to implement any of it. They are mostly looking in horror at the incomprehensible monster that is GDPR.

The point being: Restrictions on SaaS solutions are not gonna hit Amazon. Amazon does not need a SaaS cookie banner. They can have their own team that does nothing but build well tailored cookie banners for any country in the world and update them daily to whatever standards are required today.

Alas, a small business can not. The rules are the same, and thus the burden is distributed incredibly unfairly.
