The political cost of letting Djokovic stay was too high for Morrison

Australians have been barred from visiting a dying parent in hospital, blocked from seeing a new grandchild and forbidden from having a wedding. Should they accept that a tennis star gets the leeway they were denied?

Angering those Australians would have been a huge danger for Morrison when he is only a few months away from an election.

But this is not game, set and match. The entire saga has put Australia’s pandemic dysfunction up in lights. It was a national embarrassment and may continue through the courts.
Couldn’t have put it better myself.

There are rarely recognized negative factors associated with having ultra high bandwidth instant response impulse satisfaction on tap.

I used to read a book a day. I used to ponder curiosities in more depth until I could piece together conclusions from library visits and talking to people f2f or on the phone; long held interests and sustained human relationships would oftentimes result as a side effect. I used to spend a lot more time outdoors.

There are trade offs to instantaneous information access and I am going to try and mitigate them as a belated New Year resolution.
Meaning is overrated - if You look around You will see that we have the ability to put meaning onto anything and pretend that somehow we discovered the truth.
Recently I started to believe that the thing we are looking is not a meaning per se but compelling story arc/narrative for ourselfs that we see in stories told to us. This may seem on the surface like search for meaning, but I only can see mindless imitation.

One tip I can give you: Give yourself small, achievable (!) goals for each day. Nothing too fancy, nothing you need to put in hours of research before you can complete them, just something.

And then execute it. Each and every day, without failing. Sometimes you do more because you're "in the flow" on others you do the bare minimum.

I am doing this with my fitness routine for over 2 years now (started pre-COVID) and it does wonders to my brain and my overall well-being. Because I am committed. I have a streak for over two years (when I got vaccinated, I did more the days before and took a few days off - the minimum was kept for every single day, just not executed on every single day. Only exception: Vaccination) and I feel motivated not to break it.

This recurrent approach worked wonders for me.
I'm one of the people who've experienced this (exceptionally rare) side effect personally. I was hospitalized twice after my second Pfizer dose (in Australia). I'm still recovering. It sucked. It still sucks.

And I'm still very happy to be vaccinated. I do not at all regret my vaccination. The EV of a covid vaccine was, and is, hugely positive. I drive to work, I've run two marathons, and I've been scuba diving dozens of times. All are riskier, overall, than the vaccine.

Even if 100% of the ~12.6 in a million cases of myocarditis from the vaccine had resulted in death --- which, let's be very clear, they absolutely have not --- it would still be a risk worth taking. Your per year chances of dying from homicide in the US are 3-4 times as high.

Fixing this is a two part issue. One, we cannot get rid of physical security, as everyone should have the right to protect themselves and their property.

Two, the way to prevent crime from happening is to make people feel in the heart and soul that crime is morally wrong and destructive for the community around them. This is not instinctual human behavior. For those who learn this and live this, great. For those who don't, see option #1.
> An important topic that must be addressed in any ABM application is the identification of the bounds of the work and the relationship between the model and the related real-world situation

Here I think is the core of the whole problem: In case of people (as quoted "often people in epidemiology") how can we verify if ABM is correctly modeling people if we still don't know a lot about ourselves? For example we don't yet have a theory of consciousness, or we still are not able to accurately explain the process of how a child learns (yes we have multiple theories that we switch when one is not working) and so many other things.

The same can be said when we model other things from planets to animals and particles: How can we know that the model is accurate?

I am not saying the new way of doing science using "AI" is not science, but I am saying we need to move pass bold headlines and make sure that we results we take out of this have value and hold out.

My default way of running snippets of Python code in VS Code is selecting code, and pressing shift+enter (mac) to execute the Python in an interactive window, which (I think?) is an IPython REPL.

Responding to your rhetorical... Yes.

Covid is rampant at this point. An aggressive testing path and allowing him to play would absolutely be in the public's best interest.

It's clowns on both sides here but the risk of letting him in is definitely not high enough to balance the public benefit of him being allowed to play. Once he plays the special public benefit ends and so should his visa.
Patrick has already done this for us :-) The standard practice for Slackware is to install the entire distribution - roughly 12GB. If you don’t do this then your mileage may vary, and you may find yourself wasting time doing your own dependency management. For additional packages from SlackBuilds.org, there are various third-party package manager, some of which can handle dependency resolution in the usual way (e.g. sbotools, slapt-get).

It is very, very rarely onerous, since 98% of the time you already have the libraries/other dependencies installed. The other 2% of the time you might be stuffing around with community-built SlackBuild scripts or writing your own, but I have never had any major dependency-related issues before myself.

(I have been daily driving Slackware64-current on my personal laptop for a year or so.)

The question is, who's setting the expectations? I abhor 'accomplishment' tokens/scores. Even in de 90ies, my favourite game was Simcity with unlimited money. Screw the budget and the missions, let me build the city I want; let /me/ decide what the accomplishment is.

Right, but if we had an injection which fixed the car death rate, we damn well would take it.

Indeed. There's so much focus on short-term solutions for crime – even outside of the US.

Taking a leaf from Deming, we have a system, a process, a society that creates a certain, relatively stable, number of criminals per year. Trying to address specific criminal acts or specific criminals is just meddling that can backlash as easily as it can help.

When you have a stable source of trouble, it makes no sense to try to fix individual occurrences. You have to address the problem at the source.

We have created this system! We can create something else if we're unhappy with it.
I think correct way is to punish relatively harshly(few months to years depending on amount), but also remove secondary effects. Like ban employers from asking about felonies unless they are dealing with minors or for example with fraud with financial positions. Do that and the person reports automatic payment of few months of wages.

Now some of the offenders might have chance to integrate back to society...
Completely absurd behavior from the Australian authorities.

They knew he wasn’t vaccinated from the get go, yet gave him an exemption which they later withdrew after he entered the country.

No way to treat anyone, international tennis star or not.
> Angering those Australians would have been a huge danger for Morrison when he is only a few months away from an election.

This has been the entire strategy for the government's handling of the pandemic - national interests be damned, as long as it favours the party being re-elected.

To be clear, this is a political ideal of the Roman Empire that has influenced much of modern civlisation, it's not an inevitable state of humanity.

This is not uniquely American. In the EU so many people by SUVs (despite the impracticality in smaller European streets) “because it’ll make sure I have the benefit in a car crash”. It is technically correct but such an extremely cold statement.
This seems like a silly and needlessly anti-American framing. There’s plenty of high profile theft in Europe - more in fact, since the security is so lax:

As long as sum(value of goods lost) < sum(priced-in value of goods lost/damaged)+sum(expected cost of health/liability/life insurance rate hikes after robbers maim or kill staff), nothing will be done, it would simply be more expensive and risky.

This is bizarre logic. "I got screwed, so someone else should get screwed too!"

He got the exemption. It was challenged in court. He won that case.

Now a minister's "personal discretion" (why is this even a thing?) timed perfectly so that even if Novak wins the court case, it would be too late for him to participate in the Australian Open.
Who is going to respect such a vicory when the current champion has been blocked from participating?
Saying "public interest" without a referendum or any representation from the public, is such an abuse of power. Go settle your revenge fantasies in your personal time.

If you live in apartments, how often have you seen your neighbors do laundry or bring home groceries?

Reminds me a real story where a guy found a USB stick nearby a city building. It contained a shivering warning about your neighbors. The stick owner lived in that building and some day asked himself this question and tried to watch what his neighbors do routinely. He followed some of them and found out that they simply get on some buses, ride in circles and get back. It looked very confusing to him. Then one Sunday evening he looked out of his window and noticed that in most windows people are staring at something. He felt to decide to go out and see what they are looking at. When he did it, he realized, they all were looking at him! Feeling very uneasy he returned to his room. Maybe they knew he spied on some of them, but how, why? Few weeks later all that was almost forgotten like a bad dream. The guy was returning from his job and when he went upstairs, he heard a conversation seemingly mentioning him from one of the rooms adjacent to where he lived in. He decided to go closer to that room and heard an usual conversation from a family with kids, they were laughing and speaking as usual families do. But the door wasn't completely shut — they must have forgotten to close it. He decided to peek into the gap, and God that was a big mistake. What he had seen instead of a family apartment was a completely empty room and four people sitting in it back-to-back, chatting and laughing with absolutely calm faces. He was stunned for a moment, but the hair stirred on a guy's head, when one of them noticed him watching. He rushed into his apartment and shut his door. When he finally braced himself to look into peephole, everyone was there. All his neighbors stood there with calm faces, looking right into the peephole, waiting for him to get out.

The last message on a stick said they cut all the wires and the cellphone has no battery. The only message poor guy could send from.his laptop to the world was this text file on a USB stick.
Novak? More like No-vac-cine.
Djokovic admitted in a statement on his Instagram page that there was a mistake in his travel documents: https://www.instagram.com/p/CYnO7cDqbdj/

I don't think his statement puts him in the best light. He also admitted that he publicly took an interview when Djokovic knew that he was positive for COVID without giving a heads up to the interviewer. Although it was brief, he also removed his mask. I'm a fan of Djokovic, but that demonstrates either he is reckless or has a poor understanding of how dangerous COVID can be to individuals who aren't elite athletes like himself.
I assume they're on about an unbounded, pass array in situation (?) rather than having to dynamically build that part of the query (?,?,?...).

In those days doing things by computer wasn't ubiquitous anyway (due to expense, lack of social/peer pressure, and fewer people were trained to use computers). So it was still common to hand write formal letters so such like.

This meant that even those on older hardware like 8-bit micros with monospaced dot matrix printers were still at an advantage. So people often ran with older hardware for longer.

It wasn't really until a combination of PC gaming taking off (particularly with 3D games that consoles of the same era couldn't compete with) and the WWW that many Europeans started taking IBM-compatible machine upgrades seriously.
> One is that people who have a good grasp on algorithms, math or academic problems

And can you guarantee that this is what LC questions test for?

We are talking about questions here were the answers are known, their usage for interviews is known, and curated lists of questions commonly used for interviews exist .

So yeah, they may test for a good grasp of algorithms, data structures and math.

But they can also just be memorized and replayed at will given enough time.
Yes, it would be wrong because you don't have informed consent and you cannot really prove your assertion that compliance would be higher if adverse information did not get suppressed. In fact I think this had a negative influence on overall compliance for those that became aware of any framing. Neglecting the severe trust issues some have in official channels, this can even mean an overall bad outcome for health if you do not play with open cards.

I agree with your assertion about the medical industry otherwise. Still, dynamics of vaccines propose that their customers buy a minimum amount of dosages for the venture to be profitable. You create countless incentives to apply as much of them as possible and medical reasons slip into the background.
It is surreal to see this in a country where the police and “justice” system is extremely trigger happy and wants to lock everyone up for any reason they can get away with.
Containers are secure in the sense that you can tell when you receive them whether someone has been inside them (and had the opportunity to change their contents). They are not secure in the sense that they prevent people from entering them.

The notion that Cybersyn was a central planning system is common but untrue. That's not what cybernetics, which drew primarily from systems theory approaches, was ever about.

The so called 'cybernetic factory' at the heart of the project was about making real time information exchange between several levels of hierarchy possible, with much delegated to the factories themselves. Centralized decision-making was reserved for high-level planning akin to Auftragstaktik in the German army (I believe it's called mission command in the UK and US).

Friedrich Hayek of all people, who met Beer at a conference in 1960 in Illinois was actually very sympathetic to Cybersyn. The frequent comparisons between Cybersyn and Soviet Planning are pretty much the result of a political campaign against Allende, it doesn't have much to do with the scientific ideas behind the project.

If you have heard people talk about 'smart factories', 'industry 4.0', IoT devices gathering data in real time and relaying them to big computers where they can be analysed and quickly sent back to the workers you have in reality stumbled upon people who are trying to build CyberSyn 2.0, probably without knowing it and less socialist branding.

Cybernetic Revolutionaries: Technology and Politics in Allende's Chile by Eden Medina is a good, in depth book on the topic.
What is Australia officially afraid of? That Novak might have covid? When most of the Australians are vaxxed or have had covid already?
> "The coronavirus pandemic is rapidly moving toward becoming endemic, according to the European Medicines Agency"

But on the very same page, we have exactly the opposite opinion from the WHO:

> It is too soon to say the coronavirus is moving into an endemic phase, a World Health Organization official has warned. “Endemicity assumes that there’s stable circulation of the virus, at predictable levels with predictable waves of transmission… that doesn’t rely on external forces being placed in order to maintain that stability,” Catherine Smallwood said at a press conference on Tuesday. “But what we’re seeing at the moment, coming into 2022, is nowhere near that. We can’t just sit back and see a stable rate of transmission.”
