This is not necessarily the case, it depends on how contagious the disease is.

The UK managed to vaccinate approximately 700-900K people per day during the recent drive.

During the same time period we had approximately 200,000 confirmed cases (via test) per day. The general consensus is that the real number of infections approached 1 million.

It's not impossible to imagine that if the R rate were a bit higher the virus could spread faster.

You do have the issue that it won't reach people locked indoors, but then again vaccination doesn't reach all people either.
Any society of sufficient size will attract trolls who don't care about the worth of the society.

I think politics and government are intertwined as a matter of history, not as a matter of inevitable fact. Political rivals can disagree and use systems to disenfranchise one another, but they can also agree on some norms of decency (in an ideal world these would align with their constituents, but as a matter of history they tend to be the norms of some established elite).

If you want to call my position myopic, look at Jan 6th and what the lack of censorship had done then. There is plenty of harm caused by deliberately not censoring some things, as it gives a chance for malicious groups to grow.

What I think is myopic is the overall attitude "censorship bad, free speech good." It's incredibly individualistic and could only exist in the experiment that is the U.S.

Also: the line between nonviolent and violent behavior is, as all other lines, fairly blurry. Do we censor attempts to incite riots under free speech? If so, why do we not also censor statements that promote a culture of hating society?
It applies because it's a microscopic part - literally one word - in a long detailed paper about something completely different. The issue isn't 'legitimacy' or even rightness (although I think the idea expressed in the comment is straight up wrong) - it's that it isn't particularly interesting or on topic. It requires a big leap into grandiosity to make it so - a single word in an abstract doesn't say anything about 'the infusion of emotion into science'.

Edit: Incidentally, 'Copernicus took issue with the church position' is, inadvertently, an oversimplification similar to the one you're making in 'how science works'. The 'Copernican Revolution' is a big topic in the history and philosophy of science. For a very short outline, scihub up

https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.2825071

Copernicus wouldn't qualify as science under your definition of what science is about either.
Agreed, at one point there were teenagers playing baseball in a half full parking lot. I told them to stop and they told me to f off and call the cops if I felt like it. So I did call the cops, and sure enough the support person got on my case and told me it wasn't an emergency in a really harsh manner.
Its like genital mutilation. These are legacy solutions when legacy forms of govt/social control like religions, royalty or cults were the main educational source for surviving back then. Ironically there still is some truth in things like religious fasting provided your glutathione levels are high enough.

There's no excuse for it in todays day and age, but what can you do? I sometimes think democracy is a soap opera for serious people, whilst the military run the real show.
When I was a kid, I always thought that where I grew up (southern Indiana) was basically a forest and that the farms and towns and roads that I saw were just "nestled" in the forest. That's because everywhere you look, there's almost always a line of trees on the horizon. Not being particularly mountainous, or even hilly, it looks from a distance like the tree line is the "forest". In pretty much every direction. I was a boy scout, and we did a lot of camping at various parks. I really didn't know exactly where I was, I just thought we were out in the "forest".

It's a trick of perspective. I had never really seen my local area from the sky until about 2000. Now, Google Earth can show you the whole thing, at zoomable resolution.

Boy, was I wrong. Not only is southern Indiana mostly not forest, it's mostly farms, roads, and fields, and towns, with only scattered lines and splotches of trees. In reality, those boy scout trips were basically in nature preserves and national forests, the few remaining places of actual forest. Human habitation has absolutely decimated the forest...across the entire midwest. And the many millions, billions of animals that lived in the forest, they're gone, numbers dwindled, or exinct. Bears and big cats and wolves and elk....almost all gone here. Not to mention the intricate ecosystems full of life, from squirrels down to insects and ants...uncountable the individual living things that have been absolutely obliterated by our hunger.

Just take a look at Google Earth, switch to satellite mode, turn off all labels, and take in the vast green patchwork of farms that stretches for a thousand miles in every direction in the middle of North America. There is precious else but farm and city and road.
This.

I've been using Linux for years, and the last time I had to mess with Wine prefixes I was super confused and it ended up not working (of course). :p

Absolutely not! The only way that you can believe this is if you a) consider the preservation of human civilization to be approximately equal, in terms of significance to your decision making, to living a more comfortable life personally. In this instance, we are at war, and I have nothing to say to you, so you can stop reading. Or b) you are making a very serious error in your calculation.

Imagine that you the kind of immortal being that can still die in car crashes, but you never age. Whenever you take a risk, of death say, in order to get the expected utility of taking this risk, you need to multiply your risk ,which is a small number, by the opportunity cost of that risk, which is an infinite life's worth of utility. I do not, like many of the "rationalists" believe that this figure is infinity, but it is very obviously much larger than your risk is small. It's hard to reason about, but I urge you to imagine it in the shower with the lights off. Really try to get into that space, and imagine what risks you would consider to be acceptable as an immortal.

Humanity is such an immortal being, but it currently lacks the tools to act for itself. We can build those tools, but that will take time and lots and lots of thought.
Absolutely. It's not the same sort of challenge as a crossword puzzle, but that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable to have a different kind of word game.

Also, I don't get GP's point about each guess giving more info. Filling in crossword answers also gives more info for everything it crosses.
You would do well to read the other cases concerning offensive speech that have passed over the near 80 years since that case. Fighting words now requires qualifications like

"produce a clear and present danger of a serious intolerable evil" and “imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.”

In subsequent cases even literally burning a cross on your lawn wasn't deemed "fighting words"

The doctrine is very nearly hallow. So hallow that should I yell in your face I'm going to get you alignItems! I shall have to add right now with the candlestick so it should qualify!

basically, YMMV
Isn't Riley attempting to slander Corbyn by implying he is a Nazi?

The saddest part about this is that Riley decided she should take someone responding to her tweet to court.
We had an interesting freedom of speech case in Canada last year. Basically a judge ordered a Pastor to read a speech he prepared for him, anytime he wanted to speak out against the mandates.

This was v. condition of his sentence:

"The final term of his probation order will be that when he is exercising his right of
free speech and speaking against AHS Health Orders and AHS health
recommendations, in a public gathering or public forum (including electronic social
media); he must indicate in his communications the following:

I am also aware that the views I am expressing to you on this occasion
may not be views held by the majority of medical experts in Alberta.
While I may disagree with them, I am obliged to inform you that the
majority of medical experts favour social distancing, mask wearing, and
avoiding large crowds to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Most medical
experts also support participation in a vaccination program unless for a
valid religious or medical reason you cannot be vaccinated. Vaccinations
have been shown statistically to save lives and to reduce the severity of
COVID-19 symptoms."
> They are fast to develop. However, there are other steps in the pipeline that aren't so fast.

It doesn't seem meaningful to define development time without including all the steps required to provided an available vaccine to the public

So how long until it becomes a REAL problem for humanity? A couple thousand years? (if we are already 10k years in)
now if only this was packaged as part of a conversion kit for ICEs. 3.5k$ would be a magic price. And a shop could similarly charge to retro it at that price. So hopefully 7k$ total. Mind you the work shops will bank even more with all the "scrap metal (engine block, catalytic converters etc)" so maybe we'd see free swap deals.
One-on-ones? Let me tell you: just like couples there are a few in which the relationship is unreasonably effective and, of half those cases, they couldn't half-explain why two times in a row. The rest? The std. deviation is shocking. It's all over the place.

So there we are: it is and can be awesome. But in too many corporations games -- especially lack of openness -- prevents things from going anywhere. And that, friends, is a darn shame.

As I mention time to time on HN the best, short, spot on reads that take this to its core avoiding simplistic conclusions while arriving at doable, realistic things are two:

In different, self reinforcing ways, there's a confluence: those with self awareness will figure it out nicely summarized by Schutz's Jung quote:

"All the greatest and most important problems in life are fundamentally insoluble ... they can never be solved but only outgrown. This 'outgrowing' proves upon further investigation to require a new level of consciousness."

This dovetails with one of the central insight's in Human Element: the biggest impediment to teamwork are rigid individuals. The how, why, and what next? Gotta hit the books. Good grief: used copies of the book can come to your front door for less than a Padron cigar or 15 year Laphroaig single. That's value.

Off subject but a particularly funny example of can't-change is the Angelica Huston part in Buffalo-66, an absolutely outstanding film.
I don't think you'd be very excited to do your job either in the environment they're in. The BLM movement has been given far too much latitude to kick up dust over police encounters that aren't worth getting bent out of shape about.

Perhaps you could try to be a police officer and help out.

I believe this was reversed but it did stand for a bit. The judge involved should be made to be re-educated or removed from office, though. The entire thing felt like an abuse of his power.
Seriously! AIDS changed culture tremendously, and created a ton more fear around sex. If a vaccine is developed for it, it will be epochal -- like the introduction of Penicillin.

A cure for AIDS is almost like a cure for cancer, or fusion power. It's one of those technological miracles you thought maybe wouldn't ever come.

Or the Pill, or the Bomb.

(I know antivirals have advanced tremendously, but very few people would choose to be stuck on those. Also the progress was gradual enough that it didn't really affect straight peoples' consciousness. For most, AIDS remained a scary threat on the horizon, persistently uncured, still an eventual death sentence.)

So, this is wonderful news.

I don't think it will actually affect culture very much though. Straight people still worry about pregnancy. People are generally more cautious than they used to be. And the sexual counterrevolution is in full force.

But still. It'll be wonderful to close the chapter on AIDS. And it's inspiring that these long-term projects can eventually pan out.
> If we are going to allow casinos to operate at all, then we shouldn't allow them to discriminate against potential customers on the basis that said customers are better at the game

Casinos aren't common carriers. The rules should be fair, disclosed in advance and not ad hoc. But why one would force a casino to e.g. take the other side of a billionaire's bet is beyond me.
This seems like an external real world Schrodinger's cat.

> If the code is ever going to be executed, it needs to be converted to machine instructions at some point.

That’s not really true — take Python. The CPython interpreter has been compiled as native machine instructions. But the user’s Python code is turned into byte code and executed by the CPython interpreter; the user’s Python code is never converted to machine instructions.

> Languages are not compiled or interpreted, rather they may have compiler implementations, interpreter implementations, or both!

That’s true, thanks.
Highly recommend reading Kolbert's book.

Disabled Woman Arrested, Interrogated Over Domestic Violence Stickers
https://www.reduxx.org/post/disabled-woman-arrested-interrog...
Awesome! As someone who used to drink a lot of Diet Dr. Pepper (DDP) I could easily tell how close a given can (or bottle) was to its "use by" date. This makes for a great party trick [1] but otherwise has limited utility.

It also made for some socially awkward situations where, when visiting friends, they would want to have drinks on hand that their guests like and would go out of their way to get some DDP for me, not checking the date, and then serve out of date soda which tasted horrible.

Not surprising the rate of hydrolysis is temperature dependent so if you keep things refrigerated they last longer, but if you leave them out on the back porch in the summer where they get warm they go 'non-sweet' relatively quickly.

I switched to water (or tea if I want caffeine) with diet sweetener in packets (which doesn't go bad because no pesky water to 'unzip' it). I wrote to the Dr. Pepper company once and suggested they design their beverage so that the sweetener was dry and only released when you opened it (I got the idea from the way the Guinness folks started selling Guinness in cans with a gizmo to put a head on it when opened. Alas, nobody at the company was interested in "fixing" a non-problem, they responded (nicely) that I should just be sure to check the date and included a coupon for a free six pack. Of course at that time (and is still true around Reno) the bottler doesn't use an easily readable date code so it isn't much of a solution.

[1] And by "great" I mean the nerds all are fascinated by it and the non-nerds were nominally repulsed that someone could have such familiarity with the hydrolysis profile as to call it out by taste.

Ask HN: How to send lots of SMS for less than Twilio?
Not spam, all double opt-in. Even with 10DLC it's too much $, even on cheap providers like SignalWire. Email to text is unreliable and can't do above certain volumes (unless there's some way to get whitelisted I don't know?)

How can I do this for cheaper?

Edit: at request of a commenter here are some numbers.

Pricing varies by carrier but with my carrier mix it is between $0.0065 - $0.007 for 1 message on average. I need to send ~250k each month for now and also need lots of room to send more. These prices are SignalWire which is the cheapest I found so far. Bandwidth looks like the same. I think maybe Teli and Telnyx are a small amount cheaper, anybody here has used them and can say they are good?
Another reason the vaccines didn't stop the virus is that not enough people got vaccinated.

> You can feel any way you want about NYT, but you’d argue that “multiple word length” options wouldn’t make the game better for some? Or hybridizing it with the crossword?

Anything that takes away from everyone getting the same word on the same day will absolutely nuke its popularity. There's really nothing novel about the game to make it popular other than that. Don't get me wrong, it's fun and well implemented, but the concept existed before Wordle. What makes Wordle successful is how dirt-simple it is to share your results on any medium.
Is this playable anywhere? Search engines only show me Frozen themed chess sets, and people playing regular chess in cold weather.
I assume you mean fun in the sense of "not a pain in the ass" (specifically, in terms of common operations).
If the will of the people can be silenced for being offensive to those in power, there can be no valid democracy because there are people who literally cannot present their opinion to see it fairly represented.

How many times do we see tyrants 'elected' with 100% of the vote in 'democracies'? Do they count as democracies?
True, but your garden-variety command-line utility might not be able to send a POST (like wget, but apparently curl can).

Both of these concerns are valid and need to be taken together. GET can be run just like a normal URL and thus is more versatile, but as you probably understand, less secure.

When I worked at an arcade, one the cleaning crew was well known to also be hired, for the same shift times, at the movie theater across the way. He would dash between the two (in the same all black uniform) just enough nobody noticed him missing.
Are you joking? My statement is plain as day.

Claiming "I've seen such and such" is the textbook definition of the word "anecdote". Using that to justify a position is what we (all) call "anecdotal evidence."
Ah the fallacy that resources can be applied equally everywhere. The fallacy that reducing enforcement of "mean tweets" can equally be applied to increasing the enforcement of burglaries. In microeconomics this dichotomy is described as the Production Possibility Frontier that recognizes tradeoffs exist. I dislike seeing the arguments "why are we spending money here when we could there" when they are not a 1 for 1 trade. We may sacrifice a large percentage of "here" to get a small percentage of "there". Read more on the Production Possibility Frontier if curious what I mean by that.

An example is that the guy who solved this "mean tweet" problem is the same guy who could go and solve the burglaries problem. Assume you have a team that analyzes cyber crime that is underemployed but the team is required for rare cases. In their free time they enforce "mean tweets" (I'm not arguing that is okay, I'm arguing about resources). The assumption that they could use their free time better to solve burglaries is probably not true. Unless they Aram Mojtabai from the Blacklist. All of his resources are 1:1 as he can do anything.
Maybe in Europe, but in the USA where the laws are "right to work", it's just as easy to fire an employee whether they are remote or on site.

A few other bits. It's easy to learn, the daily format is habit-building, and luck. Lots of luck.
It depends on what you consider an alternative. If power, size and GPIO are not considerations, a refurbished Dell Optiplex 790 SFF computer with an i3 and 4GB memory can be had for around $100.

Some barebones NUCs with little/no memory also come in under $100. Lower power, smaller size, still no GPIO.

If you need the small size and/or GPIO and aren't concerned about GPL violations, a 32 bit Orange Pi with 256MB memory starts at $20 shipped.
