I don't think ive ever read a reply to one of my comments. I use Materialistic for Android and it doesn't really provide all the controls the desktop does. Particularly, I cannot edit comments, and I have no inbox or way to see replies to my comments. I remember when I realized that was even a thing when browsing on the desktop once, I had all these thoughtful and interesting replies and rebuttals but in the end it just gave me anxiety. So I just don't worry about it anymore, I comment what I think without the need to see if someone wants to debate, it's very freeing as I only comment rarely and on things which i feel strongly about.

Maybe im missing out on being schooled on all my 'infantile, toxic' opinions but I like it better this was. Reddit, has a much stronger echo chamber as there's no way to not see constantly delayed prominently, blinking and screaming for your attention, that someone replied to you. Likely a mob here to attack your self worth just for the sake of hurting your feelings, usually provoked by any opinion that's even slightly outside/opposed to the subreddit-approved thought patterns. It trains you to be afraid to challenge the status quo (there are many people who seem to use reddit only to attack). I know HN is better than that but I cannot help feeling some anxiety after a couple specific comments from which I futilely attempted to defend myself with reason and caring conversation.

I learned my lesson
You can’t spread HIV just by sitting next to someone. Your analogy also doesn’t hold at all because countries DO punish people for knowingly infecting others with HIV.

>Because the vaccins 'overwrite' the wider protections of the immune system it is not very wise to vaccinate healthy people for this fast mutating virus.

Bullshit. Stop spreading misinformation.
From the article you post:

“ In a November press conference, Tedros Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the WHO, said that the vaccines were 60 percent protective against spreading the virus prior to the arrival of the delta variant. That number has dropped to 40 percent post-Delta. Omicron may worsen the problem, if, as suspected, it is more transmissible and leads to many more breakthrough infections.”
That’s really interesting, where did you hear that? I’d like to read more if you have anything

No, they can believe what they want as far as I’m concerned. Completely physically excluding them from society is enough. If they want to ‘protect’ themselves from the vaccine they have that right, absolutely, but the rest of us also have the right to protect ourselves from them.
Sounds like the author is getting help already. Starting with the diagnosis. Receiving a diagnosis that you have a personality disorder is not an easy pill to swallow. It also doesn't fix anything, but it helps explain past behavior.

Narcissism may also play a role but as a personality disorder it is incredibly difficult to manage and find support for.

Saying "drop your pride" to someone that you suspect of having NPD doesn't seem any more helpful to me than saying "just stop having obsessive thoughts" to someone with OCD. Besides sounding harsh, this attitude is probably not very useful or effective.
"Hurr durr look at cases there's more than before" is not how you can tell whether the vaccine has an effect and is not how the scientific method works. It's likely that without vaccines, the omicron variant would have caused an even higher case load than we are seeing now. We know this because there are studies that show the vaccine reduces your likelihood of getting the original strain. Also we have studies that show vaccination reduces your probability of infection by omicron [0]. In addition, without vaccines, there would be more hospitalizations.

These facts don't necessarily support vaccine mandates from a moral POV, but they're still the facts and by ignoring these facts you're the one spreading nonsense.

The problem here is you’re not really substantiating what, in your opinion, makes Linux and BSD terrible desktops.

> They seem primarily to be UNIX workstations meant for UNIX developers to do a little web browsing on the side and not much more.

What is it you want to do? Linux and BSD has way more software than Haiku would so why make this point in a thread where you’re discussing running Haiku?

I think 90% of society would probably be better without having easy every day access to advanced computers. Let the HPC people keep running their physics and chemistry experiments, but maybe we dont all need to have 10 computers surrounding us 24/7.
Within my family, they weigh the risks of what they believe the side-effects are and the disease.

They all live in very remote areas with few people so the risk is low to begin with. They aren't entirely "unintelligent", and I respect their decisions.

It sounds like the author has made a self-diagnosis, and is not currently seeking treatment with a licensed therapist. There is no language around addressing the disorder, and plenty of blaming external forces.

If so, it might be worth exploring the option of therapy.
The case rate among unvaccinated can be up to 18 times higher than the vaccinated, even in areas where the vaccination rate is close to 75% https://www.doh.wa.gov/Portals/1/Documents/1600/coronavirus/...

The vaccines reduce contraction, transmission and severity
Let's talk about eating unhealthy and heart diseases.
So I don’t think we are anywhere close to what you are suggesting.

But if it comes down to it, I’m actually completely ok with such an approach.

How is this any different than mandating the small pox vaccine, or the polio vaccine?

The vaccine dramatically lowers the probability of a severe infection; reduces the burden on healthcare systems - which in, in many countries apart from the US (for instance, Canada) is a public good. And therefore enables hospitals to provide care for patients with other diseases; patients who need urgent surgical procedures.

Even where there is private healthcare, it still is a public resource.

One possible symmetric response to people who refuse to get vaccinated is to deny them access to healthcare if they get a covid infection and need medical care - But I think that is far more draconian and inhumane, and is arguably more akin to medical apartheid, than denying those who chose to remain unvaccinated (without broadly accepted medical reasons) access to public goods when they do not accept their responsibility towards public welfare.
“were dismissed” is a reason you can give, so it’s true.

Cost. Especially if you have a large amount of users, and you already have the IT staff and servers to run it on (you can try to justify it with less admin costs and less server costs but the numbers don't add up for some orgs)

As an example, I worked at a healthcare org and it would have been $70,000 a year for hosted Outlook, but only $110,000 to buy the software outright and run it for ten years (700,000 - 110,000 is a big savings)
"Just be yourself" is a terrible idea if you're a person who is on the edge of a tribe or someone who has bona fides in multiple communities that do NOT like each other.

For example, I'm from a purple area in a purple state and I'm a homosexual who converted TO Christianity as an adult. Twitter considers my existing to be an incitement to a shitfight: Any random innocuous sentence could set SOMEONE off.

This is why the only Tweets I make (as opposed to using it to read other people's Tweets) are shitposts. If it's all going to be a shitfight, it'll be a shitfight on the ground of my choosing.
More healthcare professionals for the United States (or as some would say, Red States).
I personally have no issue with this for the well-being of the majority and the medically vulnerables, and to make sure our healthcare system isn't overwhelmed with COVID cases that could otherwise be avoided or at least won't require hospitalization.
I'm not sure they qualify to be called "Chindōgu", two of the rules are "It must be a tool that solves everyday life problems" and "It is not for sale" while some inventions of theirs don't solve anything at all, and some of them seems to be for sale in their shop.

It's just normal "Unnecessary Inventions".
The closest thing to the metaverse in the form of open worlds are flight simulators right now. They have an enormous amount of content to model the entire planet already. A lot of that content is generated rather than designed. MS obviously did a nice job with this and e.g. X-plane and Flightgear have pretty detailed worlds as well. Most of these worlds are generated from various data sources (satellite imagery, altitude data, open street maps, etc. MS does the same but adds machine learning to that mix to generate plausible looking buildings and objects from the massive amount of data they have access to.

Fusing that with what Epic is doing is basically going to enable even more detailed gaming worlds where a lot of the content is generated rather than designed. Flight simulator scenery is bottle necked on the enormous amount of triangles needed to model the entire world. Storing them is not the issue. But rendering them is. Removing that limitation will allow much higher level of details. X-plane is actually pretty good at generating e.g. roads, rails, and buildings from open street map data but the polygon counts are kept low to keep performance up. Check out e.g. simheaven.com for some examples of what x-plane can do with open data. Not as good as what MS has delivered but not that far off either. And they actually provide some open data as well, which simheaven recently integrated for x-plane.

Flightgear actually pioneered the notion of streaming scenery content on demand rather than pre-installing it manually. X-plane does not have this and MS has now shifted to doing both installable scenery and downloading higher resolution stuff on demand while you are flying.

Once you hit a certain size, pre-installing all the content is no longer feasible or even needed. Once these worlds become so large that exploring all of it would take a life time (or more), it's more optimal to only deliver those bits that you actually need, when you need them. And doing that in real time means that even caching that locally becomes optional. And even the rendering process itself does not have to be local. E.g. NVidia and a few others have been providing streaming games with cloud based rendering. That makes a lot more sense once you hit a few peta/exa bytes of scenery data.

Another interesting thing is generating photo realistic scenery from simple sketches with machine learning trained on massive amounts of images. This too is becoming a thing and is going to be much more efficient than manually crafting detailed models in excruciating amounts of detail. MS did this with flight simulator. Others will follow.

Interesting times.

There is no science if the facts are not allowed either.
Lots of people in this thread are arguing the "do the vaccines reduce spread thing" as justification for or against this policy. I don't think that even matters.

These vaccines have risks that are not being opening discussed. There is an unprecedented systematic campaign of censorship, deception and propaganda aimed at people who question anything about these vaccines. Vaccine injuries are real. The performance of these vaccines are not meeting expectations. They should not be mandated, full stop. We need a system based on informed consent, not coercion.

> dramatically reduces the hospitalization rate

When administered to the at risk population. When required for young, hospitalization system impact would be marginal.
so tiring to see vaccinated people not understanding the science and the fact that they transmit the virus just as well. low information comments.
Could you elaborate a bit on what right you are asserting? I don't think I'm alone in not understanding what right you are fighting for. You're asking me to take a stand without telling me what I'm taking a stand for.
But the format and length for these numerical strings is fixed.
Seems like a bunch of people (tried to at least) patent the selfie stick at one or another point. You wouldn't try to patent something you have no interest in earning money from, and is therefore not Chindōgu
If some group of the population is responsible for 85 to 90% of the spread of a disease, then they are directly harming also all the other people who can't be vaccinated for health reasons, they are helping the virus spread and mutate more often to promote new variants that the vaccinated people might not be resistant to, and they thus are the main reason why we still need to have measures in most countries to limit the spread.

If you're not seriously doing your part, then you are actively supporting the virus and working against all the rest of the population that is either unable to get critical care or just tirelessly working in the healthcare sector treating all those avoidable critical patients.
I thought the book made a good case for frontloading enjoyment in your life and not putting off such things until a distant future glorious retirement.

They also talked about income smoothing, which is essentially a justification for, under some situations, spending more money that you "should" earlier, because later, you'll be older & less able to enjoy it -- and hopefully later
you'll be making more money too anyway.
What lucrative opportunity did you transition too? It seems as if outside of startup luck there isn’t much room for high salaries
> blocked from receiving government services

Quite the hyperbole: not all government services, just employment insurance and that too if you were only fired for not receiving the vaccine. A reminder that in many of these jobs, there was already a requirement for getting a set of vaccines so this is not new. Though for some people, this vaccine is "different" but once you ask them to explain why they can't. So no new rules. You needed vaccines for most of the jobs and this just an additional one.

You will still receive employment insurance for other stuff, irrespective of your vaccination status.

> prevented from patronizing various businesses

You are not prevented from accessing essential businesses and no one checks your vaccination status or even asks for one.

> even restricted from traveling and the ability to work

You are still free to drive to work or take local public transit.

The difference between ICU rates of unvaccinated and vaccinated people in Ontario for example tells us that the vaccination is working:

One more drawback to mention (Having lived in Tokyo a few years) it’s worth pointing out its not exactly kid friendly. I really don’t think most big cities are tbh.
It ties in easily with AD, does shared mailboxes, calendars, contact lists, meetings, automatic out of office, sorting, legal hold, archiving, backup etc relatively easily without having to glue together a hundred different things.

MS will support it & offers training. It can be managed easily by the same windows admins they have managing their AD infrastructure and desktop support.
We use Marco Polo as a closed group thing, so content mining and recommendations aren't really relevant to our use case. Turning it into an open social media platform seems like it would basically be TikTok with different content.

As for liking it... I've always preferred text over audio or video, but some members of the group are much more likely to participate this way, so it's a compromise.
HN is a complete echo chamber that quickly bans viewpoints opposing the dominant techbro ideology which is hollow and induces existential crises upon the briefest reflection.
I've been vaccinated 3 times. But. 5m out of 7 billion on Earth. The WHO is making rumblings of downgrading pandemic to endemic. Your body is all you really have so if someone chooses to not get vaccinated I believe that to be their (and my) right. I won't have that decision made for me and I won't make that decision for another, except my boy, who is too young to decide for himself. Just like my parents vaccinated me against Polio without asking me first.
Conversations with multiple people will flow between things in which you’re interested and things in which you are not. It’s a learned skill to remain in the conversation, even if it is just as an active listener.

“If you’re bored, you’re not paying attention.” There is always something interesting going on, even if it is not the content of the conversation itself.

Development of these skills, and related conversational skills, can be an intellectual exercise more interesting than many books.
I hesitate to find it amusing that healthcare software is so busted that we laugh off the negative, fatal consequences.

> It's a game for people with time, which is quite different.

I think you're locked into a certain worldview that does not necessarily line up with reality. I see people on social media that definitely do not fit your picture, and that's the vast majority of them. 'Young' people, lets say under 25 are a small fraction of what I come across on Twitter, and old people and retirees are an even smaller fraction.

As for FB, I couldn't tell you, I have been there twice and decided that it wasn't for me. But Twitter is chock full of working professionals.
And the greater problem with science communication regarding intramuscular vaccines, and the political theater surrounding it, is that neither "side" actually gives the full story because they worry nuance would be lost and facts without context used against them.

Yes, intramuscular vaccines for sars-cov-2 work, for about 6 months, to significantly reduce the likelyhood of serious disease in the internal organs. They do this by getting your body to produce serum igG antibodies against the shape of the spike protein produced, or delivered, by whatever mechanism. They also train your T cells to recognize more broad coronavirus epitopes that hold up longer against changes in spike coding.

But the igG antibodies in the body serum produced by intramuscular vaccination do not appear in any useful quantity in the upper respiratory mucosa (a different immune compartment). And the T cells definitely do not get there. The upper respiratory mucosa is where respiratory viral diseases infect. Intramuscular vaccination does not protect against sars-cov-2 infection of the upper respiratory mucosa. It just means that your lungs, which have some serum igG antibodies seep in, are protected and your body organs are protected. You can and do still get infected and transmit the virus to others at the same rate as the un-intramuscularly vaccinated.

The intramuscularly vaccinated should not be exempted from any mask requirements and people really, really have to become aware of this if we're going to stop the pandemic. It's either that or intranasal vaccination, the smart move, like India is pushing towards. Enough of the intramuscular boosters. We need intranasal to stop the spread.

Pretending intramuscular vaccination is some be all end all that stops spread is stupid and deadly. It is only the first partial step.
I haven't done any C++ in nearly a decade and I know who she is, I have read some of her articles and listened to her in a podcast or two.
This is not what the stats are saying. And what about South-Africa with a vaccination rate of 26%?
This is going to be a problem in about 8,000 years tho.
Best hope you don't end up releasing 2.100 then
Except literally everyone who interacts with the outside will get coronavirus regardless of whether 100% of us are vaccinated or not.

So no, it doesn't. You may as well say that exhaling CO2 is causing global warming.
> Let me just summarize by saying that I intend no criticism of people who don’t like parties,

Fair. I am glad to now understand your point better.

> seems to stem from sour grapes more than anything else.

I would call it experience, but that is semantics.
I'm not sure how you can replace your infrastructure with an OCI image, provided that OCI image means a container image?

I don't think Ansible is a waste of effort. For example, we have OpenStack images that we spawn, but use Ansible to have repeatable builds of those images. Additionally, you can learn enough Ansible in a weekend to be dangerous. IMO the payoff is there, it's a very simple yet effective framework, depending on your usecases.
