Yes. Even the court says he provided the documentation required.

I don't understand how anyone can defend Australia's arbritary and vengeful border practices.

If the Australian authorities didn't want him in because he is an evil anti-vaxxer then they could have just denied visa from the get go.
Only in India the excess deaths were 4.5M in one year.

The total death count for covid will be known only in the next years and it’s for sure many multiple of the current official numbers.
Well, the most obvious answer is that the administrators are the ones that hire the adjuncts, if you follow.

All uni’s I know of in the U.K. have hired hordes of admin staff. I think this is largely due to centralisation, eg rather than have an exam admin in each department, you have a team in a central building. This sounds like it will be more efficient, deduplicate effort etc, and also has the added imagined benefit of presenting all the courses in a similar way, so you can have a “uniform” and “unified” student experience.

But this is a fantasy.

The reality is that different departments and different courses need to be run according to their specific needs. So the central administration then either fails to address this or hires more people to compensate. And once you remove people from their actual job (ie take them out of the department and change the job from “helping lecturer X get this exam done” to “execute processes A B C” then the potential for bloat and empire building skyrockets. You end up with all sorts of strange initiatives, buildings, and job positions, that seem far removed from simply administering teaching and research.

At the same time the U.K. gov slashed funding, moved to a reliance on tuition fees, and pushed universities to run like businesses. Their ostensible purpose and the incentives they face are now dramatically misaligned, so it’s no surprise that the outcomes we see make no apparent sense. It’s far more important to bring in grant funding than provide good education, for example, when you know students will keep paying regardless.

To nit-pick, that's comparing heat production with electrical power. If we assume the power stations are 50% thermally efficient (which is a bit optimistic) the power in "heat" terms of the power grid would then be about the same as the Saturn V.
There's no need to be so pessimistic. Plenty of people go into politics with good intentions, and some even stay that way after some time there. Some want to be remembered, some genuinely want to fix things. Some just want power.

Skepticism is healthy, full on pessimism "everything is just a power grab" is extremely unhealthy.
Maybe they should just do less then ...
Any recommendations for good tiling managers for KDE?
I know.

I'm fairly sure i did develop them but just deleted as i thought nobody would want that
Idiocracy was not meant to be a documentary.
I have no idea, I'm no doctor. I find it surprising that a doctor would advise him to play at a competitive level nevertheless if he has some cardiac problem but who knows.

Anyway I want to say that as a matter of fact if a court allows him to enter and play he should be allowed. Not interfering with court decisions is much more important than whether or not a player plays tennis, I don't care if it's an important player on an important tournament, because for me it's not important. I think also he should not enter if he is not vaccinated but for me the "why" is much more important than the "what". We always ask politicians "what" are they going to do, not "why" and "how" and so we keep rewarding luck. So the thing is not if politicians did this or that when the pandemic started, the question is if they were motivated by political interest or followed doctors advice. In this case politicians should follow courts decisions.
So we should only pay attention to whatever illness causes the most deaths and ignore the rest?

You're free to get ill if you choose (from smoking, covid, whatever) but it's really hard to believe people don't understand you don't have the right to endanger others, be it with tobacco smoke or covid.

That's also why we have speed limits. If you want to endanger yourself driving 250Km/h that's fine. But you can't, because you'd endanger others.

TL;DR: your freedom ends where mine begins.
The idea that an individual has "[the] right to protect oneself and one’s property" is fundamentally inconsistent with the existence of slavery throughout most of humanity's history.
These days a popular nickname for him in Italy is indeed Novax (the term we use for antivaxxers)
He could have just gotten carreer-ending myocarditis from the vaccination. The risk in his cohort to get it from vaccination is higher than getting it from covid, which he already had. How is not getting the vaccine under these cicumstances comparable to doping? Is not taking the vaccine known to be performance-enhancing?

Try unplugging from the power outlet and you will notice the difference.
It also depends on your social circle, I know some young people who do use `youtube-dl --extract-audio` for downloading some songs from YT.

My choice is usually to just reboot to Windows, fire up iTunes, buy the songs I want and listen to them DRM free. The only Apple product that I use xD
I agree that assembly is a good comparison.

With a threaded-code interpreter, yes, Forth's overhead is considerable, but with a native-code Forth compiler, performance is generally only slightly worse than C.

This is presumably because modern optimising C compilers are incredibly sophisticated, whereas modern Forth engines tend to be essentially one-man projects, even the commercial ones.
Thanks for the clarification. At the very least, the requirement for Djokovic to quarantine might mess with the timing. He might not be able to train right after arriving.
"STATEMENT BY NOVAK DJOKOVIC

12 January 2022

I want to address the continuing misinformation
about my activities and attendance at events in
December in the lead up to my positive PCR
COVID test result.

This is misinformation which needs to be
corrected, particularly in the interest of
alleviating broader concern in the community
about my presence in Australia, and to address
matters which are very hurtful and concerning
to my family.

I want to emphasise that I have tried very hard
to ensure the safety of everyone and my
compliance with testing obligations.

I attended a basketball game in Belgrade on 14
December after which it was reported that a
number of people tested positive with COVID 19.
Despite having no COVID symptoms, I took a
rapid antigen test on 16 December which was
negative, and out of an abundance of caution,
also took an official and approved PCR test on
that same day.

The next day I attended a tennis event in
Belgrade to present awards to children and took
a rapid antigen test before going to the event,
and it was negative.

I was asymptomatic and felt good, and I had not
received the notification of a positive PCR test
result until after that event.

The next day, on 18 December I was at my
tennis centre in Belgrade to fulfil a
long-standing commitment for a L'Equipe interview
and photoshoot. I cancelled all other events
except for the L'Equipe interview.

I felt obliged to go ahead and conduct the
L'Equipe interview as I didn't want to let the
journalist down, but did ensure I socially
distanced and wore a mask except when my
photograph was being taken.

While I went home after the interview to isolate
for the required period, on reflection, this was an
error of judgement and I accept that I should
have rescheduled this commitment.

On the issue of my travel declaration, this was
submitted by my support team on my behalf -
as I told immigration officials on my arrival - and
my agent sincerely apologises for the
administrative mistake in ticking the incorrect
box about my previous travel before coming to
Australia. This was a human error and certainly
not deliberate. We are living in challenging times
in a global pandemic and sometimes these
mistakes can occur. Today, my team has
provided additional information to the Australian
Government to clarify this matter.

While I felt it was important to address and
clarify misinformation I will not be making any
further comment out of utmost respect for the
Australian Government and their authorities and
the current process.

It is always an honour and a privilege to play in
the Australian Open. The Australian Open is
much-loved by players, fans and the community,
not just in Victoria and in Australia, but around
the globe, and I just want to have the
opportunity to compete against the best players
in the world and perform before one of the best
crowds in the world."

He must be a really convinced anti vaxer to die on this hill.
Obviously, but that isn’t what the GP comment asserted and it isn’t the statement I replied to.
The risk of getting a myocarditis from COVID itself is higher for him, if we compare the Biontech/Pfizer vaccine. Only for Moderna for people below 40 the risk was higher for myocarditis, and even that comparison doesn't include all the other risks from a COVID infection.
What I've noticed in the UK is that large SUVs are far more common in wealthy areas of cities than they are in rural areas.
The entitlement here is huge. Jesus Christ.

Bro - I’ve made a 7 figure TC, delivered 8+ value, and I still don’t think LC is worth a damn. It has little to no impact on day to day.

But - ok - you know - think that algorithms in software are literally the end all be all. You have some arbitrary standard where I need to remember how to implement fusion trees on the fly. It’s utterly ridiculous.

99%+ of software eng (even the super duper highly paid shit - remember I’m the dude who was making more than a million/yr) is boring ass pipes and glue. You don’t need advanced DS&A. In fact - if I saw some of the shit that I know gets advanced runtimes and gets some good performance metrics - I’d probably rip that shit out because it’s not maintainable by enough people and performance doesn’t fucking matter 99% of the time. Sure - that 1% is interesting but it’s like once a year you go, “huh, might need to crack out the ol’ stopwatch!”

Gatekeeping like a motherfucker. Holy shit.

> It's not wrong to discriminate against women? where?

I don't think I said that in my message? I interpreted your "wrong" as "not reflecting reality" rather than "morally wrong". Also, plenty (most?) countries don't have laws against discrimination. For example, here's the list of countries that have some on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anti-discrimination_ac.... That's 20 countries, so a bit more than 10.25%.

> That "all things being equal" trick you keep pulling is the problem. Yeah they're so equal except you're presumimg one is a hard worker and the other one is a slacker and you can't tell from the resume or interview for some reason.

I don't think saying that younger people have more energy than older people is a "trick". This isn't about being a hard worker or not. I'm trying to explain why employers would prefer younger people. Something that get thrown around a lot here on HN is that younger people have more energy. You may disagree, but most people (and thus employers/recruiters) seems to think this way. Thus someone older switching careers has to prove themselves more than a new graduate. You can make the argument that all these people are wrong, but you're going to have to defend your position with things stronger than baseball , raw mental abilities and work ethic. If young people have no issues with doing unpaid overtime and older people do, an employer will prefer them for example.
What are you saying? That it makes sense for anyone in any age group to avoid the vaccine because the risk of myocarditis is so much higher from the vaccine than from the disease? I think that's not very good math

Because that's one of the easiest arguments to dispel. No one should be avoiding the vaccine for that reason. Not even those who had the disease once or twice already.
The Australian authorities broke the law and mistreated him throughout the process. The court made its decision. I see the Minister using his power this way as systemic corruption that undermines the rule of law. As an Australian, I am not surprised by this; the legal system has been slowly eroded into a dystopian nightmare over the last 20 years and this is just another small step.

One 'unvaxxed' entry with natural immunity is nothing as a risk to public health compared to the systemic consequences of this.

For comparison, consider convicting a murderer over illegally obtained evidence. In a properly functioning liberal democracy the murderer should go free if the police act improperly, to protect the overall system.
I agree with what you’re observing, but I’d attach slightly different terms to it: I think what we seeing is the failure of the ‘American dream’ (roughly, equality of opportunity combined with self-sufficiency) and the failure of American society and the overall system to compensate.

Inasmuch as any political system can be seen as an experiment, the American experiment is failing badly - and given the ingrained political culture and expectations of most of America (noting that typical Democrat policy is verging on right-wing when judged by most standards) it’s not clear how they’ll be able to find a solution.

The result is rampant and widening inequality, and growing extremism within politics and without. I’m genuinely concerned that the scene is set for a really extreme leader (consider Trump as a modest and thankfully ineffective trial run for what might be) and/or a class war.
If that's insane, why not share all your keys and passwords in your profile? It's just numbers. A footage of what you're doing in your room is just a number. Even entire you are a number, to some precision, under some angles.

The key fact here is that numbers are just the means of content delivery in a digital world. To be clear, personally I'm not fond of Copyright status quo, but this particular logic makes zero sense.
Blame popularity and popular culture, it skews history. He didn't even seem to promote the narrative, but people at large think Zuck invented the internet like elon invented rocketry.
Is this original creepypasta? Google search doesn't return anything.
Do you have any strong dates when it comes to delivery/production?

You are not competing what's available now but what is available when your device is released.
Sorry, but no. Expecting consistency in the application of law is fundamental to democracy. It's not Australian to think that celebrities and the rich receiving a different set of laws and treatment is unfair.

...which Djokovic still received, by the way. There are people in his detention centre that have been waiting for 10 years to receive half the time of the courts that Djokovic has received in a week. If Australians were as you described, then Djokovic would be held for 3 years in his current facility then sent to Nauru for a further five years of off-shore processing.
I guess it depends on the size of your pixels. But as long as your pixels are small enough, I think this is the only way to have a gradient go straight from one colour to an opposite colour without going through either grey or a multitude of other colours.
Arguably SF’s lack of police response enables continued drug abuse and homelessness.

See: https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2021/rescuing-jessica-s...

This person has no interest in treatment. They want to do drugs and take advantage of what’s provided to keep doing that.

You can’t fix that with hotels. You either need to require treatment or imprison (paired with arresting dealers).

On the more progressive end, maybe drug clinics that administer drugs to addicts for free onsite (to crash the dealer market while you’re going after them). Eventually you have to force a choice. The do drugs openly while living in a tent on the street can’t be an option.
No, the truth is that nobody would care about you or me doing this stuff.

Djokovic is facing increased scrutiny because he is famous. Nobody would think twice about what some nobody wrote on their COVID forms.
This is like he opted not to practice or opted to drink a bottle of vodka before the finals. He hasn't been "blocked".
He should explain what he was thinking in early December, before he tested positive for COVID. Presumably he was not actually expecting to play in the Australian Open then, having no grounds for any kind of exemption? Did he actually say that at any time to anyone?
In Austin Texas when they legalized urban camping the short term effect was the homeless shelters and transitional housing programs cleared out in favor of camping in the posh downtown parks. There was a sudden increase in young rastafarian looking white kids living on the streets. When the ban was reinstated all those newcomers just melted away to wherever they came from.

Didn't seem like that bad of a life while it lasted, being in the tourist areas crime was never bad enough to be afraid for your safety, you had bleeding heart church groups that would regularly come by the camps to hand out food and clothing. All the while you can sell and doing drugs in the open.

This question is an awesome rorschach blot for the answerers ethics and morality.

I've worked with people that had answers regarding this all over the place.

My answer would be that it depends on context.

You could qualify "doesn't work" with all kinds of qualifiers, that they might or might not do, such as take credit for your your work, take credit for others work, interfere, steal, harass, block, distract, etc.

You could also specify a counter party for each of those: coworkers, management, the company, vendors, customers, or the public.

For example, do they steal money, property, or time from the company, coworkers, or customers?

In my experience the people you work with will have all kinds of different answers, that are sometimes surprising.

Some people never say anything to management or their coworkers, even if the culprit was stealing property from customers or the company, and only draw the line if it was them personally.

As a meta answer, we could try to construct levels of morality necessary for different levels of cooperation and trust to be achieved.

Anyway, if your coworker doesn't take credit for your work, steal, interfere, harass, or otherwise block anything, then you are more in a case of thinking about the relative fairness of the situation. Recognize that and put it aside. It's not useful to you.

If you end up in a situation where it's impacting your ability to get a significant objective done, then it's material and you should focus on practical ways to work around them, for example by working with other people or making it so they aren't in the decision path.
Do you have a source for that?

This would really be a game changer. Unfortunately, you need a really great number of units, that building your own custom laptop hardware is feasible. I really which System76 success with that.

I always thought, if Dell were smart, they would do their own Linux-based brand, where they would reuse parts from mainline Dell. Kind of how they produce gaming laptops.
It is more painful, takes longer and needs trained personell. The risk when injecting a muscle is very low.

Some argued it would increase acceptance and reduce stress if aspiration wasn't used. I dislike this line of reasoning but can understand the overall decision.
Considering most ads are more visually striking than the content they're being put in, I think putting the ads in the middle of the content itself is a good way to simulate that on a text-only website like hacker news. Also, ads are often on the top or at the side, not at the bottom. But let's try it and find out. Edit: I think this is still distracting, but that may be because italics is often used for emphasis on HN. I wouldn't call it very distracting though. It's a slight annoyance. But it does make things a bit worse.

I mostly use youtube-dl for archival of public videos (predominantly some educational material and sometimes rare old tunes of performers passed away many years ago). I do that, because somehow youtube has become the de-facto storage for such material (i.e. people don't host it on their own webistes), yet often some videos/playlists disappear. This is quite annoying, because as you said I have no control on the availability of said content. To me it feels like e.g. someone accidentally or intentionally deleted all Feynman lectures from planet earth as if they never existed. So I as well ask my self what the agenda of the plaintiff may actually be and which of their short and long term interests are being harmed. One hypothesis is that there is increased migration of videos from youtube to other platforms and Youtube wants to diminish that, however they don't want to take the PR negatives for suing youtube-dl, hence somehow encourage the music industry to do this dirty job instead (the latter already has a big track record).
Thx. Keep up the good fight. Remember something, successful tech companies are built on the blood, sweat and tears of engineers.

Our Management team are mostly non-software people, generally they were the problem. Not having the right education / understanding.

Everyone wants to get into tech. Not many people are well-equipped to do so.
Talk to me! I'm not that experienced, but I'm trying to get into the Junior DevOps space and get some good work experience under my belt while living in an APAC time zone, but the difference with me is that I'm a native English speaker from the Acela corridor in the US with the highest caliber of written and spoken English fluency. If that sounds like something you can accept (i.e., hungry junior guy who is eager to learn and accept training, certification, et.al), my email is in my profile.
He is a male under 40, isn't he? He already had covid.
We treat animals worse than humans. Even pet animals are often sent to an overcrowded shelter where animals are killed according to the "first in first dead" principle.

If you want to know what cruelties humans are truly capable off I suggest you look at how we treat animals. As long as we declare a certain subgroup of humans "inhuman" we will treat them the same way.
Just saw this, after writing my lengthy reply to you elsewhere (plus a couple of edits), and I think we agree on quite a bit. Cybersyn certainly was a substantial improvement in thinking over strict central planning. At the same time I think it still it aimed for unnecessary levels of complexity vs. using market mechanisms as a large part of both the input and control mechanisms, and trying to assert too much control.
> they test for your ability to write code.

Do crossword puzzles test my ability to write novels? No they don't, because remembering some obscure name for a medieval dignitarys hat of office doesn't mean I can write compelling immersive stories.

By the same logic, memorizing how some obscure algorithm is implemented doesn't test my ability to think about real world applications or code in the context of a large project.
It's not just education, it's shitty parenting. You'd recursively have to educate Hitler's parents, and to do that you have to educate their parents etc. ad nauseum. Pretty soon you'd blow your stack. Naive interventionism is worse than just whacking Hitler.
