On global statistics, the deaths of hundreds of kids is almost negligible, so you are unlikely to see much difference in excess mortality. Significant differences are most likely the result of school closure and lockdowns, most likely traffic-related.

But deaths by vaccines are even more negligible than deaths by covid.
If you accept that there's actually 2 valid choices, you're doing better than most people...
Seems like the problem in the US is there are pockets of society which have multi generational issues where the parents don’t know how to teach their kids to be successful since their lives have been a failure too. As well as an environment that normalises crime.

It seems extremely difficult to break this cycle without actually removing kids from their parents/friend groups.
A substantial fraction of the US's land area is locked up in Alaska, where there isn't "a road going through [the low-density] areas." What little long-distance infrastructure exists there is almost entirely driven by the existence of extractive industries (notably, but not exclusively, oil) that are lucrative enough to put in that infrastructure.

Rural Europe tends to be as lightly populated as, say, rural eastern US, not rural High Plains, let alone rural Alaska.
I do run a computer analysis on maybe 10% of games, but I also participate in fishnet (explained elsewhere in this thread) on a local machine so that hopefully offsets it
Not OP, but I also bought such a device on Amazon two months ago. After doing some research, I went for the Anbernic RG351P. I've been quite happy so far.
The motivation for other manufacturers is exactly same as the motivation for AMD to do this. To make more money by controlling resale markets. RISC-V wouldn't change any of those dynamics.
Being poor is not an excuse for criminality. These people aren't stealing bread to live or clothing to not freeze. They are stealing valuables ("Louis Vuitton purses, designer clothes, toys, lawnmowers, power equipment, power tools") because they can, knowing their poor status will cause people like you to express sympathy for them and thus allowing them to get away with it.

They aren't stealing out of necessity - they are stealing because they can.
> But Union Pacific is partly to blame for not deploying more security, said Los Angeles Police Capt. German Hurtado, who works in the Hollenbeck Division.

Half-way through the article we get the point. This is just another example of how our retail supply lines are optimized at every turn to shovel maximum crap through the pipe... be it minimally-staffed stores or unsecured trains. It's all about cash flow, baby!

Let the market fix the problem.
This analysis is worthless. A good place to start would be with comparison of road design standards which would show that American roads are built much wider and with more additional features, which is stuff like curbs and not necessarily sidewalks or bike paths. If Americans started building roads to British standards then there would be an uproar.

The power for a particular office to track whether it's employees have been granted an exemption to a workforce requirement that allows exemptions for certain causes?

How?
I’ll bite. It’s not Indian occupied if the nawab (read king) of Kashmir joined India. It was “occupied” by mujahideen that Pakistan sent over and forced India to reclaim it.

Anecdotes aren't useful when the population set is billions. You will be able to find someone who took a COVID vaccine and then X happened. Car crashes, amputations, stillbirths, weddings, job promotions, winning the lottery even. That's just the law of large numbers. They're really not relevant to the discourse - quite damaging actually because of the outsize attention they receive.

> My point is that scientific researchers seem to look at timescales of 6 months for short term side effects rather than 1 month the GP seems to believe is a hard cut off for short term side effects.

Likely because we know how vaccines work, we've had them for about 300 years. mRNA vaccines have been in development for almost 60 years, and adenoviral vector vaccines for the same period of time give or take. There's no reason to believe that these vaccines have effects outside the timescales being used.

The entire world is actively monitoring the roll-out of these vaccines.
It seems like you could just ban that. Defers aren't typically used within loops, so why support it?
The article does not mean being ego-less about the product, the customer, or the user.
It means being ego-less about yourself as a developer, at least that’s how I understand it.

In other words, do not stop to care about the product, the customer, or the user. Stop caring about __your ego__, when other developers criticize you (in contrast to not caring when they criticize you)
Goodbye polygons, hello neural networks?
You’d think that all the empty packages on the ground would be a clue that there is package theft going on and that they should do something about it. Like avoid stopping in those areas, organize security, something. USPS recently lost my package in transit through LA, given the timing it seems likely it was stolen in one of these raids.
I don't find it remotely hard to believe that the skills needed to be a 'hacker' and the skills needed to run a security organization for a billion-dollar healthcare organization have zero overlap. You don't want a CISO or VP of CS to be playing around in VMware. That's got nothing to do with their job.

I really don't see how "determine unique legal identity" is such a requirement? What are you running, e-voting?

If that's really what you need, the relevant jurisdiction is likely to have some adopted e-identity system.

If not, go back and question how you can solve your issues with as little PIIs as strictly necessary.
Note that, for a given too-short antenna length, it will be better at emitting harmonics than the fundamental.

E.g. a 1m antenna is far below resonant for 1MHz AM, but may be pretty good at emitting any 37, 39, 41MHz ... content.

Of course, we expect that content to have less than 1/40th, of the fundamental, both because of Fourier series expansion of a square wave and because the frequency response of the system rolls off (edges off an ATmega aren't perfect, even before you get the reactance of the breadboard in the way.

A primary reason to add a filter, IMO, is to raise the voltage of the fundamental at the antenna, and therefore get a little more RF out on our desired frequencies.
> Why isn’t every talented developer trying to work there?

Aside from some exceptions, FAANG in general is not that “talented geeks disrupting the world with brilliant ideas” thing anymore.

It’s a big serious business for a while now.

Hence bureaucracy, average but obedient developers, low signal/noise ratio, slow carrier growth, extra layers of management, no freedom.

Not much talented developers I know of who are dreaming of working in these conditions.

The only hiring selling point is money. You don’t need me to tell you that this is the worst motivator for talented people.

> I don’t see how a government keeping a religious registry of its citizens is going to lead to anything good.

This isn't a religious registry of US citizens, it's a workplace mandate exemption registry of the workforce of a particular government office.
No, but I still have a soft spot for their article about the outhouse. It used to be bordering on the humorous, but over time it has become pretty dry.

For my vaccine-hesitant family members, I can guarantee you it is about religion. The world is a lot broader than Hacker News.

Also, there is a difference between something that could cause death, and something that already has from people who were defenseless, but I don't want to get into the whole argument here.
> First of all, information regarding the US is obviously irrelevant in the context of UK surveillance. Why even bring it up?

Barring evidence otherwise, I believe it's reasonable to conclude the situation in the UK is similar, or at minimum, that we don't know that warrants in the UK are an adequate protection. Unfortunately I don't know of information about this that is specific to the UK.

> you keep broadening out the terms of the discussion further and further, rather than addressing any of the specific factual claims in my posts.

I apologize. I did and do concede that referring to the proliferation of mostly (mostly) private CCTV in the UK as "government spying" is incorrect. I did not address the other claims you made because I agree with or believe them or think they're likely true and didn't bother investigating (such as a warrant requirement to take private CCTV footage, and that the police rarely bother to request CCTV footage). I see how that can create a frustrating feeling of getting nowhere.

But while I don't dispute the latter two facts (in fact I think we agree on all factual issues so far), I disagree with the implication that this diminishes the surveillance state, or that the problem is limited to how warrants are issued.

While the police/government may only rarely request CCTV footage, the possibility is there, which is enough to establish chilling effects, especially for groups that may fear selective enforcement, where more resources are expended to suppress them than what is afforded to regular crime.

This is how the US government defended their illegal bulk surveillance PRISM program - that while they collected data on everyone, they had strict (so they say) limits on who humans working there looked at, and that only what humans look at counts as a "search".

And while I do have a problem with how liberally warrants are granted, that would not be such an issue if there was less data for the warrants to request in the first place. Recent history has shown that once the infrastructure for surveillance is built, purely legal means are rarely effective in restricting its use.
This stuff is a temporary problem caused by the backlog of shipping containers, giving an opportunity for some the less fortunate in L.A. to take advantage of the stopped trains. As soon as things are moving more smoothly again, the issue will go away.

This isn't indicative of society's collapse, nor of the anti-work masses rising up, nor even of a catastrophic government failure. It does point out once again that California has an untenable disparity of wealth and we need to continue to work on fixing that problem.
Looks like the basic procedure for planning. You decide what you want and break it down into more measurable pieces. My only problem with it is why the hell isn't this called "planning", instead of opaque jargon? Is there an ecosystem of consulting firms selling it?

Besides how often plans lead to the planned outcome?

This is rich. The rich always get away with crimes: wage theft, labor violations, financial fraud, environmental destruction, opioid crisis... but some people shoplift and society is falling apart? Cry me a river.

Let the market fix their own broken supply chains.

People have been writing songs about retail theft for ages. Think about the term "riding shotgun"! This isn't a new problem.
Ask HN: How to track SD card theft?
If someone stole an SD from a security cam, is there a way to track it or identify the person, besides using a second hidden camera?

I was thinking of things like a fake card that's a tracker (GPS, network/IP connection, etc), or a card that contains software that can transmit it's location (is that even legal?).

Alternatively, I could replace the camera with something network connected. There's no wifi or ethernet. Cell could be acceptable, but would prefer a more localized type network, like LoRan or something (maybe 500yd range with trees in the way).
Awww. I think the little guy might be struggling.
I'm actually convinced that software engineering at FAANG > 95% of non FAANG software engineering roles. Its not just the compensation, the systems and infrastructure are nice to use. You don't spend nearly as much time mucking around with broken open source components.
that is true, though i don't think clear night skies and light pollution were what OP was going for -- for me it was more about the experience of pitch black darkness under OP's bed cover and the religious undertones of the essay.
Cynically, the thing you quote shows no evidence of vaccines actually having any effect and the study author wants more funding.

Less cynically, infections can throw your body's homeostasis totally out of whack over long periods of time. I've had lingering side effects that lasted nearly a year before I was totally back to normal. It absolutely would not surprise me, at all, if covid screws with some people's menstrual cycles. It would surprise me more, but still not incredibly, of a vaccine that provoked an immune response and makes you feel like shit for a day can also throw of your homeostasis for a while. What would surprise me is a f the vaccine did so at a higher rate than covid infection, which is to be clear, not even approached by the linked paper.

All that to say, you've provided an unsubstantiated hypothesis. More than likely, it isn't true. But even if it is, it doesn't contradict my initial statement. Because I didn't say there could be no long term side effects, I said that those side effects would be a strict subset of covid side effects.

Edit: also re-reading, I'm pretty sure she's saying they're be multiple months to make sure the stuff goes away. That is, the side effect, if real, is present and detectable in a month or two.

There's just like really no reason to bribe your going to take the vaccine, have no detectable health concerns for a year and then differently develop something.

Isn't it odd that crime is skyrocketing in places which are governed by people who think in these terms? It is almost as if policies which are based on those ideas lead people into a life of crime where they would otherwise have been given the satisfaction of taking care of themselves. It is not as if it is hard to get a job right now after all?
"I don’t care what anyone says about..."

I can see you're enraged.

There's the real problem about everything - making judgments and decisions about the world based on emotions, not facts. You should care what other people say, especially the people who study things scientifically. I'm sure it sounds great and judicious to your enraged lizard brain to lock someone up and throw away the key, but there's a lot more to consider than what makes you feel good.
C++20: Reaching for the Aims of C++
We mostly fight wars because of deflation (money is no longer circulating) or the inability to represent negative interest rates and a failed land ownership system. Once all people have a place to live in, equal access to resources and the ability to participate in the economy the average citizen doesn't want a war.

Of course there are more reasons. Political independence is probably the second most common reason for a war but as you move down this list, the war becomes less and less justifiable.

Also, nationalism is known for creating the bloodiest wars in recorded history, so be careful.
> The state is under no particular obligation to protect or enshrine as religious any ridiculous thing you can dream up.

Exactly, which is why being Christian/Jewish/Muslim/Hindu/lotsofpulp’s personal beliefs cannot be a criteria for not abiding by a government mandate. If someone else gets an exemption from government mandate because of their beliefs, then so should I, regardless of how old that belief is.

> Bootstrapping is fools. Virtually no founders out there are pouring their personal savings into their company

This conflates people who haven't raised external funding and people who actively put money into a startup. It is possible to bootstrap a startup without plowing money into the business.

It's true that bootstrapped founders are plowing time into their business, but this is true of funded founders as well. VC money may pay a handsome salary, but taking it often means that you have to vest shares that you would otherwise own outright.

Some EU countries require that you offer a simple and effective option to opt-out when gathering the contact details. Depending on the content, that can be a required to be an opt-in toggle.

It's not enough to offer users a way to unsubscribe once you've already started spamming them, there should be a way to not have the first spammy newsletter/newsletter group.
My first year of grad school I ordered a textbook but what I got was actually All of Statistics with the wrong cover bound on.

I skimmed through a couple chapters before returning it for a refund. I sometimes regret not keeping it as a curio, but I was a poor grad student at the time and it was an expensive book.
Another route would be to get into machining. Like in agriculture, it's very important to be aware of the potential for losing a limb in milliseconds if you don't respect the tools. You also end up with useful stuff that you can see, instead of commits to a git somewhere.

It's pretty cool that this one person wrote a piece of software that has been used by so many people, it's crazy to think of that impact. I personally find it difficult to get excited or interested in the technical intricacies of a closed source piece of software put out by a megacorp though, unless I'm getting paid for it I'd way rather learn about the technical details of open source counterparts and the systems they're apart of.
Nintendo used, or attempted to use, various hardware/software, legal, and economic techniques to force publishers to use their cartridges, for which they took a significant cut of sales. The hardware‐enforced logo mentioned in another comment was one technique, that was an attempt at abusing trademark (not copyright) law to limit third‐party cartridge manufacturers. However, the courts decisively struck that strategy down in Sega v. Accolade.

As for economic techniques, there’s a fun story about a third‐party developer named Color Dreams. They released several games, including Crystal Mines, without Nintendo approval, and made their own cartridges. As the story goes, Nintendo threatened to pull their stock from any toy store that sold unlicensed games, and all the stores naturally caved since Nintendo had the most popular titles. Color Dreams saw the writing on the wall, and came up with a strategy to target one market that Nintendo had no hold over: Christian bookstores. Color Dreams rebranded as “Wisdom Tree,” gave all their games a thin Biblical veneer, and started marketing their games heavily to the religious demographic. By all accounts it was a huge success (relatively speaking, for a completely independent publisher).

I agree and am anti Boudin/Gascon and other Soros sponsored DA's, but the destination of rail transported goods into LA, Chicago etc are typically through very poor neighborhoods. Stopping in these port and transport hub areas, whether semi trucks or trains, has always attracted crime and looting. The difference now is the centralization bottlenecks Amazon has created. Huge amounts of predictable opportunities have not gone unnoticed...
If I'm not mistaken, the individual who has spend many years (was it 9 years?) in detention is classified as a genuine refugee, however, he came to Australia by boat and the Australian policy is that boat refugees will never settle in Australia. As I understand it, he has applied for a refugee visa to the US and while his application is being processed, he's in limbo.

The data comes from Tesla, not from third party investigators. The minimal data from third parties, like Consumer Reports, says it's shit outside of highway use (which is the safest kind of road to travel on already).
"With a crime rate of 40 per one thousand residents, Galesburg has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 25."

Yeah OK, Strongtowns, let's scrutinize the road budgets (~5% of the property taxes). Who wants to live in these hypothetical high density developments when you can't even be safe?
Now, I wouldn't go quite that far. (I've been a Linux user since 1992-ish 0.99pl12 or 14.) It was pretty competitive with other Unixes, particularly since it didn't cost a million, billion dollars.
