The biggest reason the under 5s vaccine is taking so long is that they don't suffer severe enough symptoms that they can easily test the efficacy of the virus. The same issue was there with the 5-11s but pharma, CDC, & FDA just glossed over that to approve the vaccines.
You can create a separate locate database for /home if you want. Set it up for periodic updates (via cron or other means) and then use "locate -d <path_to_db>" for searching.

Aren’t we have to do it anyway in future? EV’s, eVTOL’s and heck knows what else is just gonna use more and more power.

The amount of telemetry installed and ran within Windows is obscene. That, alone, should drive people away.
(b) is relevant if you think that the qualia of consciousness has a bearing on the ethics of eating meat.

>Unless the word “equivalent” is playing a critical role for you, because it will be impossible to prove or disprove equivalence.

To be clear: I haven't actually stated my position in this debate.

More to your point: this entire debate is an ethical one, so it's in the philosophical realm, so one should disabuse oneself of the notion that anything is going to be "disproven". The best we can aim for is a consistent ethical system, and conversely, the pointing out of inconsistencies.

This having been said, there's a contradiction of terms if you simultaneously hold the belief -- as you seem to do -- that eating animals is wrong because they are in some sense "like us" while at the same time rejecting any notion of (non)equivalence. You exactly appeal to equivalence when you say, "Really, other animals are so similar to us on every dimension except language". So you are being inconsistent.

Therefore, if this is indeed your position, you're going to have to grapple with the issue of threshold. How much similarity is too much? Holistically, is the experience of being $ANIMAL equivalent to (or within some bounds of) the experience of being human? If there are differences, which ones matter and which ones don't ... and in what amount? Those are the questions the GP was asking, and they are directly relevant to the argument.
I have been told that oxide is not very bioavailable at all, Magnesium Citrate or Glycinate are better.
Hey, can you please not break the site guidelines like this? You've been doing it repeatedly, and we ban that sort of account. I don't want to ban you, so if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
Right, I'm saying he didn't really need to solve the literate programming problem if he was really focusing on writing a book on algorithms that was to precede his book on compilers. That's alright, the journey is often more important than the destination. He wanted to tell the story of writing TeX in a book in which TeX is written, and it made sense to intercalate the text and the program. There just wasn't a tool that could do anything with it yet.
No, because you can't prove that it would spread slower among UNvaccinated people.

Still the case with macOS in Finder. Even on Big Sur running on an M1. I dealt with this over the weekend.
Perhaps an allergic response then? The point being, units of the super-organism are causing the death of things they shouldn't be. Perhaps out of selfishness (like cancer), or perhaps out of a misplaced response (like allergies). But the super-organism has every reason to evolve them out.
>> people that attempt to inject affordability into the care debate are doing so for disingenuous reasons

What exactly is disingenuous about wanting more people to live longer with higher “quality of life” for less overall spend on healthcare? You can’t achieve this without resolving the affordability issues.

>> which is what you are advocating for, the bringing down of the overall quality of care

With all due respect, you’ve made that up to fit with your world view. It’s certainly not something i’ve advocated for.

Those triple heart bypass operations i started the thread with - the 10x more expensive US procedure results in 3 year shorter life expectency post operation.

It costs more, and it’s not as good a result?

(I am being slightly disingenuous at this point - the reason the US outcomes are poorer despite being 10x more expensive for the same operation are due to differences in the health of the average patient - in the UK because healthcare is free at the point of access, there tend to be earlier interventions, in the US there is a marked difference in severity of presentation - ostensibly people wait longer until they’re really unwell before accessing healthcare)
> Under this perfect assumption you end up having a problem with the red shift caused by the expansion of the universe (which I didn't account for above) that lengthens the wavelength of the light you want to see, requiring an even larger lens.

Redshift does not come into play at the 'small' scale of our galaxy since the Milky Way is a gravitationally bound system that does not itself expand with the Universe. Even within our local group (eg from Andromeda) it is not an issue since the local group is also gravitationally bound. Redshift only becomes an issue at much larger scales, if you are in another galaxy outside our local group.
"when to expect me to be here" is often worth communicating. "Why" less so. Avoids confusion like:

> I tried him last Friday, and the one before that, and the one before that. He's never available.
> Its too bad that my comment kicked off just the sort of nonproductive back-and-forth I was hoping to avoid

I appreciate the genuine question, and I don't mind explaining my reasoning. It's a complex subject, highly nuanced and riddled with early and inaccurate data and conflicting studies.

There's also a huge political component to it, which inevitably drags personal identity and emotion into the conversation. Back-and-forth and hostility are going to require a lot of disciple to avoid, which we thankfully mostly see on HN.

It's been strange to watch my karma fluctuate wildly from my comments in this thread. I would love it if there was some sort of indicator on HN about magnitude on votes. Right now, my comments are roughly net-neutral, but my karma has swung about 10 points either way in this discussion.
I'm really enjoying the discussion here, as I've been thinking a lot about what a full modern ML/DS curriculum would look like.

I currently work for a non-profit investigating making a free high quality set of courses in this space, and would love to talk to as many people either working in ML/DS or looking to get into the field. (I have ideas but would prefer to ground them in as many real-world experiences as I can collect.)

If anyone here wouldn't mind chatting about this, or even just sharing an experience or opinion, please drop me an email (in my profile).

EDIT: We already have Into to DS, and a Deep RL sequence far along in our pipeline, but are looking to see where we can help the most with available resources.

I really appreciate this Interviews book as an example of what topics might be necessary (and at what level), taking into account the qualifying discussion here, of course.
Those 10 year old Thinkpads are still surprisingly capable. I still didn't completely stop using my X220 (also with some HW upgrades like 16GB RAM and ac Wifi) although I bought a Thinkpad P14s Gen 2 (AMD) this year.

Some remarks for running Linux on the P14s:

> On AMD models, performance was less than stellar for my workloads and not a significant jump over a laptop from 2018.

Might be that you need to bump up some power management settings to get full performance via e.g. [1] or [2]. There is also /sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile but this is broken currently for T14/P14s Gen2 AMD and maybe other models [3].

> Wi-Fi/Bluetooth would not work on one of the laptops, even when I was using an up-to-date Linux distro. Likely related to the type of adapter used (not Intel).

Lenovo switched to using a Realtek adapter for some models (due to chip shortage according to their Linux support team). Linux 5.16 includes the driver now, there is also a backport [2] for older kernel versions available.

Edit: could you please also stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments generally? You've been doing that repeatedly, and we ban that sort of account because it destroys what HN is supposed to be for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing the guidelines and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
Recently I bought a T420 for 120 euros. I updated it to 8gb ram and 250 ssd for 100 more euros. Total cost 220 euros for a laptop that covers most of my needs as a developer. It runs Windows 10 and manjaro Linux on two partitions flawlessly!

I don't think that there's a better value for money laptop anybody could buy. If somebody believers otherwise I'd really like to see what's the other options.
I specifically don't want a tesla. Nothing has biased me against traditional dealers other than dealing with them all my life.
This is nice, but I find it disappointing that they didn't offer 4x8 32 hour weeks, when the company's culture seems to have already been set up for it. They could have let people opt in to reduced pay.
Great roundup, thanks! As I write this, 6 hours after this very-long-anticipated story was at the top of the front page, it's now down on page 3 with 299 upvotes. Not complaining, just find the ranking system to be so inscrutable at times like this. If I hadn't checked the site this morning, I'd have missed it. With a story history like this, I'd think it reasonable for the story to ride the front page all day. Of course, computers only do what one tells them to do, and ranking systems are hard...

> A big part of what YC is about is to be a bridge for everybody else to enter this space—no matter who they are or where they live or what demographic they belong to. YC has a long track record, right from the beginning, of funding founders who never would be given a chance by more mainstream institutions

I find this fascinating, maybe as an example of how institutions think of themselves and how they are actually perceived.

YC feels it is giving outsiders a chance (and that might be true for lot of the intl founders YC funds). But for most in the US, it seems like YC funds only safe SAAS startups, often by founders who were ex-FAANG (or ex-prominent YC startups), who are often white, and often MIT/Stanford.

Maybe it's the definition of 'outsider' that differs, but when I look around founders who reach out, female and founders of color often feel ignored. Consumer founders feel ignored compared to enterprise founders.

There are so many stories of founders who are actual outsiders (woman/PoC and non-elite schools) who have growing, promising, even revenue-generating companies who don't get even an interview and yet, other 'insider' founders (white, male, ex-FAANG or ex-YC portfolio) who get in on a recently thought of high-level idea (and then subsequently pivot a bunch of times in the batch).

I say all of this because it worries me if YC already thinks of itself as funding those outside the mainstream, that it doesn't actually realize who the outsiders are.
It seems npm and GitHub do take action in cases like leftpad and colors.. and people don't like them (Microsoft) doing so unilaterally. Maybe part of the 0-day fix is go multiparty: allow weighted votes by dependents to take over the namespace to force a patch/reversion. You own your code etc, but the OSS distro service has its own community-owned rules, and you are free to run a competing package manager without them. By using community managed package managers, you signal your intent not to break your users & contributors, and give an explicit remediation mechanism for handling such trust chain violations. Instead of a hundred-message GH thread, we get a voted minor version bump same-day.

Though agreed with the sentiment of 'prefer stable' during install would be A+. 1am package scans was a cruddy way to start my vacation.
This is the worst thing. Not for Apple or Apple users, but for the general internet. If that goes through, and countries effectively end up making Private Relay illegal, that is a very VERY strong precedent to block regular VPNs. And that's terrible.

I wonder if the same could happen to TOR, if VPN end up the same way...
As another data point, I do not see private relay being blocked using ATT.
Is it better to have lived and die, or not live at all?
What makes you say that? What is your reasoning? Just because you say so does not make it so, nor does it make it logical, reasonable, or enforceable. We have a legal framework for making these kinds of decisions in the United States. While I understand your position and can see some of its merit it's not about how you feel things should be but about providing a system of rights and powers that prevent the government from spiraling out of control.
> Personal conscience and conviction used to be held sacred in the US ... to the point that conscientious objectors wouldn't be forced to fight in wars (they could be assigned to work as medics in Army MASH units, for example, as my grandfather was in the Korean war).

On the contrary, I think we're at the other extreme. There would be an uproar if people were even forced to work as medics today -- or to do nearly anything at all beyond their own self-interest.

I was forced to be vaccinated as a child to go to school, and there were no exceptions for personal convictions. There was also no uproar. Everyone did it because it was normal and there wasn't any legitimization of "alternative" information.
Another interesting Callery Pear fact (and basically the only one I know), is that the "Survivor Tree" at the 9/11 memorial in NYC is a Callery Pear: https://www.911memorial.org/visit/memorial/survivor-tree

I can't explain why, but it was the most moving part of our time there when we finally visited last year. And, the reason I haven't been able to bring myself to cut down the Callery that's growing on our property, despite my otherwise wholesale dedication to removing invasives.
> Disprove it, then.

> Which families own the press? Or is it verboten?

It is not verboten, it is dumb. Putting a large trend on religious/ethnic group of millions of people is just nonsensical. Do you really think millions of "jews", from gas station attendants to doctors to CEOs are somehow collaborating on pushing media a certain way?

If bunch of dudes are colluding on shaping the public discourse from wealth inequality to something else, is it more likely it is because of their ethnicity or because they are on the "winning" side of the wealth inequality divide?

Musing: Though considering the complaints about "they are now writing about systemic racism instead", it seems like very left-wing message (wealth inequality) packaged for hardcore right-wing people, so I guess complaining about "the jews" makes sense.
There's an amusing comic novel by Andrew Drummond called "A Handbook of Volapuk" (itself a reference to a 19th century textbook of that name). It's about the 19th century Volapuk movement. Volapuk was an early attempt at an artificial language, like Esperanto, but earlier. The novel includes scenes of Volapuk lessons and they are actually accurate, although of dubious practical use.
I was never encouraged into drinking coffee in the first place. Could never figure out why people liked the taste of it. I mean, Caffeine - yes, I drank a lot of Cola when I was young, but coffee is definitely an acquired taste.

Anyway, when I was about... 20 years old, I think, I decided to quite Caffeine. I went "cold-turkey", and it was actually really hard not buying my fix of Cola at the supermarket! I stuck with it though, and switched to (somewhat watered-down) cherry juice. The taste was strong enough to distract me from thinking about Cola :-)
It is solely up to you. At least you want to jump into some clothes and not go there in your PJs but that depends on you as well.
> Right now, that is all technically possible, so they'd be defrauding their shareholders if they didn't try.

Can you expand on this? Are you saying that if a business opportunity exists and a company elects not to pursue it that constitutes defrauding shareholders? I would have thought it constituted nothing more than a disagreement over strategy.
This is correct. There is a "flame war" detection mechanism that will penalize topics that get too much activity.

I run with show dead myself. You'll be surprised what ends up in the refuse bin.
It's really tricky when you end up using libraries 4 levels deep, and never consciously chose something.

Looking at one of our production projects, we use colors via: "css-loader" -> "cssnano" -> "svgo" -> "colors"

I wish I could say I spent the hours to go line by line through every dependency of our app. But that wouldnt leave much time for anything else.
So I'll ask the same question that I've yet to receive a concrete response to: How long is long enough before you'll trust the vaccine? A solid number, in years please. Every anti-vaxxer I've asked that to has hand-waved the question away, because they know if they say something like "I need a minimum of 20 years before I'll trust a vaccine" they'll sound paranoid, which they are. Also their timespan is almost certainly long enough that any pandemic would be long over by the time they'd trust it, essentially precluding vaccines as tool during a pandemic if everyone were to adopt their perspective.

By virtue of its distribution these vaccines have already been tested far more extensively than any other vaccine in history at the time of their release. If you don't trust this vaccine then you should never trust any future vaccine.

All your "what if"s remind me of the "what if it causes fertility issues?" that swept the internet last year despite zero valid supporting data. Well my wife and I trusted the actual data instead of internet speculation, as well as the data showing what COVID can potentially do to fetuses, and we got pregnant well after both being fully vaccinated. Thus far the baby appears healthy (genetic testing clean, strong heart beat, correct size). So it turns out the experts were right on that one, and it's more directly relevant than your Vioxx example.
It’s pretty simple why it doesn’t work. For most people somebody else (usually the employer) chooses a health plan for them. The employer chooses the health plan that’s convenient for them, not for the employee. The patient has no visibility into the contracts between providers and insurance. The patient has (almost) no insight into actual pricing. So basically we are pretending that this is a market but the patient has no say in any of the choices made for them.

It’s a market for employers, insurances and hospitals. All of them have vastly different interests from the patient and are passing on their costs to the patient . The patient is left with having to pay for somebody else’s decisions.
Ignore the evidence of your senses. Reality comes from experts and consensus.
There seems to be very strong data to suggest Covid is a non-issue for children under 5.

I think if you are vaxed and boosted, and your older children are vaxed, and you don't live with an unvaxed vulnerable person, you can now safely continue your life activities ... mask if it doesn't inconvenience you.
If that's the case for the DS/ML domain, then a short take-home exam should provide a better example of practical coding ability (the common counterargument that "take-home exams can be gamed" is a strawman that would be more on the interviewer's fault for creating a flawed exam).

In my case, I typically got the "implement binary search" questions in a technical interview after I passed a take-home exam, which just makes me extra annoyed.
This is solved by ECH/ODoH but for full effect you have to trust the DNS server.
I can't even convince security professionals to install Signal, let alone something that requires installing a specific client configuration that may not be identical across platforms.

Real talk, I read stuff like this and it fills me with a sense of despair. Is this ease of raising just something people say or does it really match to people's experience?

I mean I have several companies under my belt that made great money, I have several startup where the MVP is done or nearly done (because I took time off during the first year of covid and programmed out a bunch of backburner projects) and another that is done and live that would represent a re-entry into a market I already did exceedingly well on (I have the k1s to prove it.)

And quite frankly, other than filling out an application for ycombinator (got to the final round a few years back for a telephony project but they picked twilio founders instead, haven't gotten to the interview round again as a solo founder), I have no idea how to get started. I didn't come from money, and my parents died when I was in my early twenties so is this "ease of raising" true but just for MIT/Stanford/Harvard grads and that section of society?

There are no founder meetups in my city anymore because of covid and idk how to get started from my house.

I mean I've done well for myself, I'm in the top 1% of my american social cohort for earnings, but I want to raise funds and I just don't how to start anymore.
I'm pretty sure this is one of the bigger reasons why timnit gebru didn't make it at google, because she thought her job was to actually make progress regarding machine ethics when it was instead to give them the appearance of having done so without slowing them down or making them look bad in any way.
