Why not both?

Personal conscience and conviction -- as overwhelmingly stupid as the vast majority of people are with or without it -- is at least extremely important for the minority of people who end up being front-runners for society.

But so too is society a super-organism, in which we are but cells. And cells which actively spread disease for their own sake are kind of independent to a flaw: cancerous one could say.

Maybe there's a better world in which context is a factor in whether or not a persons convictions are the most valuable thing in the room. Personally, I'd say if you're killing others for your beliefs, then your beliefs should be allowed the same treatment. Whereas if your beliefs are merely unpopular.. well, I wouldn't fix a car with a popularity contest, let alone a toaster or an entire fucking government.

The Framework Laptop uses the same panel as the Acer Swift 3 and several other quite popular laptops, so should be good in that regard.
This takes place daily in any ER on a low intensity basis (broken arm can wait for the heart attack), but hospitals specifically consider the 100 people dying 20 beds situations when they train for mass casualty events (with specific doctors and nurses tasked with triaging incoming patients)
The dead body floating thing happened in 1 or 2 states. My understanding is that dumping the body in Ganges is a cultural thing in some towns in those states. Someone from there told me that the older generation wants their body to be thrown in Ganges or buried on the shore so that they can get 'moksha'.
Not accusing the parent of this, but there is a significant portion of the population that would be quite content that this doesn't go away ever.
> And you don't find that ridiculous?

Of course not. It's not about the absolute transmission rate of vaccinated people. It's about the reduction in the transmission rate compared to the unvaccinated. Regardless of the absolute effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing transmission, it seems to me it should remain fundamental to protecting public health if unvaccinated people spread the virus several times faster.

Of course, if the effect were only marginal, that would be one thing. But that is not what the data seems to show at this point.
you could be like BC and keep everything open! at least it's consistent! -_-
If anything, I am drinking the best coffee of my life after switching to decaf, after saying no to bad supermarket and office coffee. In many big cities it is possible to find very high quality specialty decaf coffee in local roasters.

My favourite is Colombian beans decaffeinated with the "Sugar Cane Process". In my opinion this method produces the best tasting coffee that preserves the qualities of the origin beans and it might be more environmentally friendly compared to methods that require double shipping the beans to a 3rd country for decaffeination.

Yes, I believe this is called checks notes survival of the fittest.
TBH, I consider wearing a mask to be so low-effort, I take it for granted. I know for many other people in this country that's not the case at all, and wearing a mask to the grocery store for them is somehow akin to wearing a 20-pound iron ball chained to their ankle. But to me (and my family), a mask isn't a big deal.

By "what more realistically can we do" I'm really talking about shutdowns, lockdowns, and capacity reductions. I'm ok with continuing WFH for people who can... so I suppose my stance is inconsistent: I want to get back to "normal" but I'm ok with WFH and masks.

Overall, I'm frankly at a point where, double-vaxx'd and boosted, I really want to go back to not having to second-guess my decision to go out for a bowl of ramen.
Scalping only exists because the product is sold below the market’s clearing price. Raise the price and you’ll take the air out of the room for scalpers to exist.

EDIT: remove unnecessary scare quotes left from unpublished draft
Short answer: yes.

Long answer: you'd probably come up with a protocol around "ok, we have this ventilator available, give it to the unvaxed patient, but if we have other patients who end up needing one and they haven't improved in X hours/days, we will reallocate" and similar for all the various ways people can present, but "conveniently"... if the health system is that overloaded, you're gonna have ERs with a lot of patients all arriving at the same time.

Hell, even pre-COVID, I got stuck waiting in an ER in December for days because the hospital was full once.

(To your edit: has either smoking or obesity caused hospitals to fill to capacity and have to turn away patients? You'll notice here I'm talking about scarce medical resource allocation prioritization where they're actively competing with those more considerate of the rest of us, not something like insurance payments or coverage.)
I don't want to talk about vaccines anymore. Whatever study people have to cherry pick or whatever beliefs you may hold, whatever your stance is, most people have made the decision on whether or not to be vaccinated.

What I wish we focused on instead, is the medical system as a whole. We've been hearing stories everyday about how hospitals are on the brink of collapse. Why, in 2 years of this pandemic, have we not devoted the resources to expanding bed capacity and staffing hospitals? Why is testing still so unsustainable? From day 1 of the pandemic, from social distancing, to masking, to now getting vaccinated, the messaging has been do all of these things to avoid overwhelming the hospitals so it seems weird to me that 2 years later the messaging is exactly the same.

Maybe Signal will finally add native Apple M1 support now? It’s been over a year and they already have ARM code in their iOS version.
I don't use Private Relay, but I do have Verizon. I just tried enabling it (with WiFi disabled, obviously) and had no issues. Do you have a source to back up your claim that Verizon blocks it?
I would think Apple has some leverage to force it if they really wanted.

If Apple really wanted to force the issue, they could tell T-Mobile no more iPhone contracts unless you do it. Apple can survive and thrive on fewer networks - the iPhone was AT&T exclusive for a long time at the beginning.

If that happened, there would be no way for T-Mobile to get a supply of iPhones. People would need to buy iPhones from Apple and then replace the SIM cards themselves. It would make T-Mobile bend pretty quickly unless they managed to get Verizon and AT&T to join them on the issue.

But then Apple has a second card to play, and that's the court of public opinion. If Apple wanted to make a public ad lambasting the carriers for undermining people's privacy, the damage would also force them to bend.

Finally, of course, there's the fact that carriers need Apple just as much as Apple needs carriers. However, between the carriers and Apple, who has $200 billion in the bank to do things themselves if they wanted?

Edit: Heck, T-Mobile has a market value of $130 billion. AT&T has a market cap of $188B, and Verizon $223 billion. If Verizon and AT&T joined T-Mobile in protest, Apple could theoretically attempt (or at least threaten) a hostile takeover of any of them. That would cause a lot of discussion among the carriers and send a strong message very quickly.
My children’s health are a risk you are willing to take. That’s what you are trying to say.
Verizon just blocked personal hotspot from my phone with the message that I would need to switch to a non-unlimited plan to reenable it.
Those are not insubstantial:

Diabetes has been documented as a symptom of cytomegalovirus (mono), mumps, rubella, rotavirus, and enteroviruses (polio and hand-foot-mouth). Fatigue is a symptom of lyme disease and mono.

I don't want my kids to get any of those either, and they were vaccinated for mumps, rubella, rotavirus, and polio by age 1. If I have the choice of being cautious for 3 months until a vaccine is available for COVID, I'll take it.

> Shouldn’t we try very hard to avoid the possibility of screwing up a growing child’s body?

Yes, that's why we vaccinate. Those pesky diseases can screw up a growing child's body quite effectively.
> We do major version bumps on a yearly cycle and people get stuck on 8 year old versions and won't upgrade

We do the same thing and have the exact same experience, unfortunately. Software is a messy business and it's hard to apply strict rules to human process.

I think ultimately SemVer can be used to to accurately communicate if you, a user, are safe to upgrade between versions if applied strictly. Whether or not your users will (or be happy about it) is another ballgame.
When I see this article and the state announcement, I think of the Robert Pirsig Quote: "If a revolution destroys a systematic government, but the systematic patterns of thought that produced that government are left intact, then those patterns will repeat themselves in the succeeding government. There’s so much talk about the system. And so little understanding."

As someone originally from Pennsylvania - PA seems especially excited about invasive species. The spotted lantern fly was a big nuisance. Everyone talked about it. The spotted lantern fly and even this pear tree are not the enemy.

Invasive species thrive in ecosystems that we create. You don't want spotted lantern flys? You don't want thorny pear trees? Maybe ask who is defining the term "invasive species" and why they are defining them as such? Anyone thinking about cutting down your pear tree.

Some call that "gouging".
A particular subset of the XMPP story I want to share is that back in the mid-00's, the XMPP folks were trying to make it the protocol of the real-time web. I think that was a laudable goal.

One thing they particularly feared was for the web to become HTTP-only, with all the overhead that entails.

How prescient.
This is the most English thread I’ve read all year.
The purpose of private relay is more to prevent ISPs/Cell carriers from vacuuming up your data and selling it in probably totally identifiable ways to the lowest sketchy bidder.

All the big carriers have already been sued by FCC for selling location data without permission[1], and even last month Verizon is trying to justify collecting more data on everything you use your phone for[2]. Apple's business model is less gross than ISPs and their partnership with Cloudflare to prevent even themselves from being able to access traffic logs is an extra plus

Where did you get this data? All CDC itself says on the website says “Cases of reinfection with COVID-19 have been reported, but remain rare. [1]” and it seems there is an active effort to suppress the effectiveness of natural immunity effectiveness (at least against the same strain). Intuitively given vaccine’s ineffectiveness at protecting against Omicron spread, I tend to think the push for boosters are quite dubious and natural immunity is at least as good as vax if not better, and sufficiently low risk for Omicron after 2x vax. Besides, anecdotal experience of below 40 adult friends catching Omicron with 2x or 3x vax has been much easier than the two days of bitter experience after their last dose of Moderna. The only acceptable rationale is to flatten the curve so the Omicron surge wouldn’t DoS hospitals in the short term which can happen even if the relative risk of hospitalization is low due to the high transmission rates, but that can be better achieved via more temporary isolation/N95/etc than boosters.

The product is hot, it's understandable that Ford wants to prioritise users of the product over scalpers.
I agree with almost everything you say. Hospitals saved my MIL when she caught Covid in 2020 and had lungs affected. She was treated by a Doctor via video and only a nurse (hired a month ago, new to her job) doing the actual physical work.

My only gripe is the shame that is attached to testing positive. The system kicks into extraordinary paranoia when someone tests positive. That is the reason why people refuse to be tested. My MIL did not test for weeks after she started coughing. Thankfully, my SIL traveled from the US forced her to test and admitted her.

I understand the reasons and the struggle of the hospitals, but there is a bit of heavy handedness (nowhere near China, I must admit) that is scaring people away.

I am thankful to the Doctors and nurses of India. They have saved at least two lives in my immediate family.
Why did you go full LSP instead of just building an integration to VS Code from the start?
Good point. At the very least, it buys you time while attackers try to deobfuscate. How valuable that is is left for everyoneto judge; especially considering what a sibling says about locking yourself out - basically you and your team might also have to deobfuscate and thus lose time.
I support this. One year seems reasonable. I can't stand scalping. I assume the dealership retains the ability to buy back the truck? That gives someone an out if they really do need to sell in the first year.

I'd also like to see it with consoles and GPUs. In those cases, Consoles are easier. GPUs are harder. But I imagine for consoles you could limit the PSN account to the one who purchased it.
"Also, generically, when we have a super spreadable disease, we want to minimize transmission."

There is a contradiction in there. Minimizing transmission of super spreadable disease is extremely hard, precisely because it is super spreadable; in this case, just by breathing in the same space. It could be done with very harsh measures - see the Zero Covid strategy in China - but after two years of pandemics, people are tired.

"as a precaution against mutation (the more infections mean more mutations!)"

True, but there are 8 billion people out there and a majority of them aren't living in countries that successfully minimized transmissions of covid. Further mutations will likely come anyway, as the global viral load is probably in trillions of viral particles daily. At that point, it is a question of tradeoff.
Right now all Google IC promo/refresh/PIP decisions are made in closed rooms with only middle managers present. When Google gets a union, the union will force Google to add transparency to the perf process. This will take a lot of power away from empire-building middle managers.
Covid is no longer an emergency. It's been two years.

It's time for the executives and individual teachers to stand down and work within the intent of the laws as they are on the books. If the legislatures didn't pass the right laws, then too bad, and people may die.

But anything else is tyranny of the executive. And if we don't take the power back from them now, they will never give it up later. It may already be too late.
> You call me a shill

No, I said you were shilling. I don’t think you’re a shill but your posts are definitely shilling the product

> and then say you’d switch to IRC over teams.

For text chat. Yes. I also said that was an extreme case however IRC is still more intuitive than Teams for text chat.

> IRC has no features compared to teams - screen sharing, voice/video, threaded discussion, calendars, a mobile client with all these features, etc..

Have you even read a single bloody thing I’ve posted? How many times have I said I don’t give a crap about mobile support because 99% of my usage is on a laptop? How many times have I said that Teams suffers from having too many features rather than doing one thing well.

It’s like talking to a brick wall…

Also I did say IRC specifically for text chat.

> This implies you don’t really care about capability at all

You’re conflating comparability with feature bloat.

I’m all for comparability as long as it doesn’t harm usability. But comparability can be in the form of supporting 3rd party API hooks - it doesn’t have to mean bundling every feature into a confused user interface.

This is where the UNIX philosophy comes in: everything in UNIX is compatible with each other but each individual program is designed to do only one thing and do it well.

Now I’m not saying we should have separate video conferencing, calendars, text chat, etc. However in the case of Teams it suffers from trying to do everything. It’s the “Jack of all trades, master if none”.

So naturally I will use a program that specialises in a specific area well if it improves my productivity. For me using a better text chat solution improves my and my teams productivity vs using MS Teams for everything.

> You have some beef with Microsoft where you’d rather have nothing than something to avoid using a product you have a irrational bias against.

Enough with the name calling. There’s no need. Especially when the issue here is your own reading comprehension.

I’ve given clear reasons why I don’t like Teams. You obviously disagree, which is fine. But at least read my comments before replying with your ridiculous bullshit. “Ridiculous” because you’re consistently citing examples of stuff I’ve already discussed as not a requirement in literally the previous post. Which you’d know if you’d bothered to read my entire posts properly.
All Verizon phones are unlocked, but the lock status does not change whether or not they can manage the carrier settings that Apple exposes to them.
"The only limit is yourself."
Let's be clear. More people die of air pollution and climate change than of COVID, but the latter turns out to be a disease that requires immediate care which is why it gets more attention.

Before the attitude changes and governments broaden their view, I can understand why people feel "done" with it.

12400f costs 180 dollars right now. 5600x costs 300 dollars. They perform similarly in gaming tasks(5600x does have larger L3 cache and in cache-sensitive professional applications it is faster). 12400f draws 117W(intel spec). You won't be running both of these CPUs with their stock coolers so, the difference in CPU cooler costs will be 20 dollars at most(if you are not opting for some kind of water cooling on mid range build, which would be insane). Heck, even if you buy CPU cooler you still end up spending less money than on 5600x with stock cooler.
Its time to move on. Everyone has had a chance to get vaccinated and boosted that is at high risk (under 5s are not at high risk). We can't live in our houses forever.

Said another way, the mental health issues with being stuck in our houses are much more severe than COVID-19 at this point.

Age adjusted, Florida is the 11th highest death rate in the US. NY is the highest iirc.
Not necessarily; the first few carriers don't seem to have successfully seeded outbreaks, in general it takes a few attempts to get a disease like Covid established, and almost all countries seem to have stopped it spreading directly from China including closely-linked ones like Taiwan but also places like the UK and US. As far as I can tell something just went really badly wrong in Italy that no-one is interesting in examining too closely, and when this spread Covid to other countries it was spun as proof the other countries had screwed up and failed.
Four years ago I decided for New Years to get myself addicted to caffeine and alcohol. I couldn't get the alcohol to work, but the caffeine has been wonderful. I am quite happy with the effects; it's great stuff. No more afternoon drowsiness, easier to get up in the early AM, etc. For me, it's sweet tea, rather than coffee, though.
> If these vehicles are in high demand, to prevent scalping?

I see the manufacturer wanting this. But not dealers. Scalpers are just outsourced distributors from a dealership's perspective.
At the same time though, opening up completely comes at hospitals being overwhelmed, supply chains breaking apart (already happened in my country).

It is a bit of a paradox. There is no right action it seems, locking up doesn't make sense but neither does opening up.
That's like saying: the crotch rocket is based on internal combustion engines, that have been proven safe in multiple automobiles. So crotch rockets are safe because they use internal combustion engines.

There’s plenty of jobs that are just heads down coding, cranking out tickets and attending a couple zoom meetings a week. Once you find such a job, just stick to it. Don’t go getting promoted to some higher position where you have to endure more meetings or become responsible for more things and have a bunch of people depending on you.

When you want more income, pick up a second job that is also similar. You should easily clear a quarter million dollars or more a year this way, and all you’re doing is writing code and going to some meetings. Easy.

I'm a longtime Pinboard user but it has some annoying quirks. The biggest weakness for me is the limited search. e.g. Yesterday I was trying to find my kids' school menu site and searched for "menu"... nothing. Turns out I did have it bookmarked, but the title is "Menus and Pricing". So you have to search for "menus" to find it. I've made suggestions to the developer on stuff like this over the years but it hasn't improved much.
