He wasn't given an exemption at all though? He was denied entry and then appealed. Are you thinking of the exemption he was given by the tennis tournament, to play? It would be understandable if that one doesn't work to pass the border.
The pricing page lists the paid version as a one time payment of $10 and not a subscription. Price seems fine to me if you end up getting any value out of it.
One the one hand: Australia is the wrong country entirely to try this shtick on. The "fair play" ethos is strong, the "tall poppy syndrome" (1) is evidence of Australian reflexively reacting angrily to the "don't you know who I am?" routine, to someone asking for the rules for normal people to be set aside for the rich and famous.

He might have gotten away with it, but once it was in the papers and the public eye was on him, game over.

Australia also takes border biosecurity _very_ seriously, even before the pandemic. Remember Johnny Depp and his dogs having to leave when they were smuggled in via private jet. (2) Remember the TV show (3)

I feel little sympathy for Mr Djokovic trying to bend the rules in favour (for reasons that appear frivolous: it would be trivial for him to actually just get vaccinated) and being found out. What was he thinking?

On the other hand: it does seem like various branches of the Australian government are infighting and contradicting each other. If Mr Djokovic was not good to arrive, could they not have got their act together, and told him so clearly, before he set off? It's a media-legal circus now.

Djokovic won the original challenge on procedural grounds that the process was incorrect, not that his exemption/documentation was valid. He was never exculpated. And let's not forget that Djokovic screwed this up for himself.
Or maybe you shouldn't build a society around making capital gains and interest income from doing no work as that encourages politicians to become corrupt for a quick 10 million bucks and thereby let them off off dividends or stock buybacks long after their political career ended.

All those people that pretend to understand that interest rates affect discounted future values seem to forget that this is also creating short term thinking where destroying something (potentially long lived) to get money today is profitable and encouraged.
It's pretty strange to say an elected official isn't representing the public or that this didn't have popular support.

You want to know why I don't steal? It's because I don't have to. I have sufficient security of income and opportunity that it's not necessary.

I'm not bragging, though, what I'm getting at is that you're missing a huge part of why people steal - maybe even the largest part: because they feel they have to survive, or because it's okay because society is stacked against them.

This is what above was talking about when talking about fixing root causes. If you can ensure that people have shelter, food, safety, security, and belonging, you'll generally find that you don't need to _morally re-educate_ them, they won't have the impetus to steal.
Ha, we've had this discussion back with Anderson's "End of Theory" [1]

Until we can come up with a way to automate large-scale robust causal inference, there's no end of theory. Because of course everything is correlated with everything in real life, the problem is isolating reasonable relations/networks/models of causal effects.

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with Australians - and I speak as one, now thankfully living elsewhere - but "I got screwed, so someone else should get screwed too!" is a big part of the national psyche, along with "How dare someone get something that I'm not getting!".
Nope. The criminal is the one who needs to realize and internalise his desperation, and move on to a better life. Everyone has needs, get in line sunshine.
Do you truly believe that some bayesian economic simulator on a IBM System/360 Model 50 was going to be better than the market regulating itself via supply and demand and free competition?

I don't think that national interests really mattered anytime in any country. That is just a tool to keep power. Maybe it's important for some politician, but focusing on power grab is way more beneficial at the top.

I don't know Australia at all, but I imagine they have some kind of elected representative which have an influence on who is leading the country.

As far as I understand they are doing that for election purpose, which I imagine means it's somehow a popular decision among Australian voters.
“Judges are not stupid and are fully aware of what a Friday, 5:55pm, exercise of a Minister's power means ... The Government's delay - given everything about Djokovic's case was known or knowable this time last week - will hurt its case for urgent removal & help Djokovic's claim.”

Djokovic was never eligible to enter Australia. He lied about having a medical excuse to not be vaccinated. He used 'exemptions' from organisations other than the immigration authorities to muddy the waters. He was trying to blag it all along and got caught.

He got lucky with a border guard making a mistake which ultimately allowed him entry, but doing anything but cancelling his visa would have been contrary to normal treatment under the law.

Now he'll get an automatic 3 year ban, if not more due to the other laws he broke when he entered Australia.
How do reconcile that view with this just... Not happening in other countries with much softer policing?

Left-pad was as far as I know written by one person. Had they used underscore or lodash or any of those bazillions of utility libraries out there, that have real code review, and are actually making money, this would be way less likely.

It will not be known as the tournament where the best player wins, but as the tournament where the best vaccinated player wins, because the best player was not allowed to participate.

OC is wrong.

Online ad serving is a 100 billion dollar market and it is entirely dependent on control of the client, or at least the default behavior of the client, to make it show ads and to not save the media, requiring repeat visits to show more ads. It is vital to their industry that ad systems can display ads on browser clients by default.

This is a huge part of the push toward apps - more control over clients.

If they could go after ad-block extensions in browsers they would, but this is difficult for historic and technical reasons.

Youtube-dl is a separate client with no ad-displaying ability at all. It saves the media. They're going to do their best to portray this as somehow improper because their business depends on it.

Andrew Gelman has a great essay reviewing a paper that discusses this in the context of Covid:

>Greenhalgh’s message is not that we need theory without evidence, or evidence without theory. Her message, informed by what seems to me is a very reasonable reading of the history and philosophy of science, is that theories (“mental models”) are in most cases necessary, and we should recognize them as such. We should use evidence where it is available, without acting as if our evidence, positive or negative, is stronger than it is.

They are afraid that Australian people who made the effort of being locked down and getting vaccinated would be unhappy that some Tennis star would not be required to do the same effort. That's perfectly understandable IMO.

Anyone who thinks Djokovic is at fault. I don't support executive power bypassing courts but I think this doesn't diminish the merit of the winner. He was more intelligent.
I agree with this. But asking the candidate to invert a binary tree is one thing and asking the candidate to flawlessly solve back to back leetcode "hard" level problems is another.

I feel you. I have worked on an Angular project for over a year and was miserable working with it (and I _really_ tried to like it).

At first glance it seems "complete", but once you start building there's just so many insane edge cases that don't work well or have bugs. I also think that "integrating" RxJS was a mistake, while I get it and it's nice, it's imho too low level of an abstraction if you have many people that don't necessarily want to learn all the details (easy to shoot yourself in the foot with it), too different from anything else in JS, and too poorly integrated into angular.

And also the verbosity of everything.. was too much for me.

In Europe all the football teams have their own junior teams that are separate from education. Eg there are Chelsea/Real Madrid/Bayern under-10s teams that kids attend after school and feed up to the seniors. In addition, the leagues in Europe are a pyramid. Part-timers play at the bottom, superstars at the top. There's relegation and promotion, and players can develop at lower league teams to get bought by the top clubs later.

In the US they don't have that. AFAIK, there's no "Green Bay Packers U-18s" football team that is integrated with the professional club and promotes young players. Baseball does have a farm team system called the Minor Leagues.

The NCAA which runs university athletics in the US managed to make a junior league feeding all the professional leagues in various sports. The progression for an American athlete is then to get a scholarship to play at some university, and then get drafted by a professional team once they finish.
its a sure way to sell oneself to public but yeah, types of people that manage to get and stay in top politics don't give a damn about this

That has been the entire logic behind extending covid restrictions to apply beyond vulnerable groups.
In 2019 you probably read about the launch of the PoS beacon chain, as in the "phase 0" of what was then known as the Eth2 roadmap. Beacon chain launched in December of 2020, and since then the work on the merge has been ongoing, which is the hotswap of the network's consensus from Pow to PoS.

We're now in the phase where public testnets of full PoS Ethereum are running [1, 2]. Ideally, we'll have the merge before the next difficulty bomb goes off in June.

Not exactly true. Despite not being vaccinated, he was granted an exemption for having proven a recent COVID infection in December. The state government of Victoria and Tennis Austrailia, the organization behind the tournament, granted him the exemption. However, his team did not apply for one from the federal government and the federal government had not granted him one before arriving.

Edit: Just found out from another reply to one of my comments that he likely also falsified his PCR report :\
> He got the exemption.

By lying on his application and entry forms.

> It was challenged in court. He won that case.

The first visa cancellation was overruled purely on the grounds that it was issued too quickly and did not give him enough time to respond. It has nothing to do with whether his exemption was valid (which it clearly isn’t).
And at the end, did the project work? Does the product generated profits?
What I thought amazing was how in the court case the judge clearly sided with ND and the case was essentially decided because the immigration officials didn't follow the correct process.

I wish judges like that would have shown their spine like this when it came to the awful treatment of refugees. But it seems that immigration follows lawful processes is only important if a tennis millionaire is entering the country.
Is omnicron worse than a common cold? Maybe the colloquial you always get a new virus with every common cold is also true of covid.

If vaccinated people are spreading covid (and maybe more so since their symptoms are probably so minor), what good does banning an athlete in great health do?

All it proves is this is about politics and power, not health.

At this point all those who go along with this charade, insisting the emperor does indeed have clothes, are complicit in their crimes, the same way those who in the past defended the governments making the “dirty” ones sit at the back of the bus.

What’s the big deal they just have to sit at the back of the bus? What’s the big deal about having to get vaccinated?
I don't think we have even managed to imagine a world where the natural numbers wouldn't be a useful building block.

That means the natural numbers are a fundamental logical building block of any formal system like mathematics, doesn't matter what the laws of physics are.
> but the best solution is to have trial work periods. There’s no better way to see how someone performs at the job than having them actually do the job.

> I agree trial work periods may not scale

Great to see the author uses the Green Lumber fallacy to argue against leetcode-style interviews. Now I'm going to guess he also must have skin in the game, otherwise he would only be an empty suit doing armchair recruiting.

Let's say we want to do work trial periods. I tell you what actually happened to us: we opened an internship position and we had ~1600 applicants. Since having 1600 trial periods is impossible, we need a way to weed this down to a manageable number. Congratulations, now you moved the problem of "who do we hire" to "who do we invite for a trial period".

The software engineering interview isn't perfect, but sadly trial periods are not the answer.
