Removing personal choice should sound alarm bells for anyone who has read Brave New World, 1984 or the Gulag Archipelago.

If you permit me to stereotype the HN demographic here- you are probably reading this comment from the comfort of a warm apartment with running water and you're probably not hungry. Removing personal choice is an extremely dangerous idea where those reliable things that you take for granted start to disappear. All you have to do is look to N. Korean, Turkey, Hungary, Venezuela right now, this day to see how disastrous it is. You may call me hyperbolic but this is exactly how it starts. If we have to lose some elderly people to a virus (with an IFR of .1%, median age of death of 84 and 92% with comorbidity), i'm sorry to say that we have to lose them. The alternative is authoritative oppression, starvation and misery for hundreds of millions of others. Make no mistake, this is exactly what is at risk when you talk about removing personal freedoms.

If you told six month ago me that we'd be treating people who are high risk of this disease the same as people with low risk I would have been in complete disbelief.

>they can't refute the ideas of Covid flat-earthers

What is a covid flat-earther? If you are trying to lump flat earthers in with a group of people who are lockdown sceptics you're doing yourself a disservice.

>You criticise the article but then post this without any backup.

>ditto. Show us the figures please.

When I have more time I'll pull out this figure. Let me know if you find it in the meantime.

N=1 in this study. No mention of race, vitamin D levels or BMI, all of which are very useful data to have in the context of Covid-19.

All viral respiratory infections have the potential to have some side effects to varying degrees but I can't help but feel that this letter will be used to support the concept of "long covid" on an unsuspecting public.

Yes, covid is terrible but it's a different strain of a coronavirus (of which 20% of common colds are too), it's not something mystical. There's a strong chance we have substantial cross immunity to it though T-Cells defence. The literature is saying that if you're under 48 the flu has a higher mortality rate. We've mostly passed through the gompertz curve of the virus mortality as described by initial research by Hope Simpson regarding the seasonality of influenza viruses.

We can't base national health policy on individual health outcomes. Covid has been turned into a religion completely lacking any scientific rigour and I feel this paper will be used as a tool to add to the fear.

People seem to forget 90s Bill Gates. He was terrible and spiteful. There's no reason Jobs wouldn't turn into the current Bill, if he was able to live that long.

All those things have been or can be fixed. They're still moving massive amount of products. I'm no apple apologist but you're overblowing things.

It's got a stronger chance of occurring in the chip fab than in the CFO's office.

Why not use a Raspberry Pi populated with several USB to console adaptors, there are USB console cables with up to four serial ports per connection which would result in 16 console ports per Pi.

By viewers you probably mean "people they aim to track"

It says more about the PR campaign than the people.

It seems I have to repeat myself here.

>He's a businessman, not a scientist

This is the point that my comment refuted.

How do you know they really know their stuff? Is it because they used a lot of words you're not typically familiar with? It's straight out of the "blind them with bullshit" playbook and the modus operandi for a lot of HN comments these days.

OP is concerned about extra cable length that is needed with this approach (completely unfounded), drops a few attentuation loss over distance calculations, but really, the practical engineer says: "we'll have only as many winds of fiber per meter as is neccessary"

>But autopilot is explicitly a term for hands off operation.

I see you've never skippered a boat.

>But Musk as a human isn't so great.

I would be very hesitant to criticise someone who has arguably done/will do more for the continuation for humanity than anyone else who has ever lived.

Maybe it's your definition of "isn't great" that needs re-calibration.

>He's a businessman, not a scientist

How can you even say that? I've heard more scientific discussions out of him compared to all the other CEO's I've ever heard speak combined. Musk has a head for physics and numbers and can easily come up with calculations for classical mechanics, material technology, information theory off the top of your head. For you to say the contrary is doublespeak.

This is incorrect if the output measures lag the input.

x64 doesnt excite me as much as Arm does at the moment, for power draw.

I always downgrade people in my estimations when I see they correlate old with being bad without a good reason.

Caveat emptor

Watch his videos of don't. Make up your own mind.

Specious comment because if SpaceX funds itself from HFT their goal is to make life interplanetary which is arguably the best thing to do for society.

Musk has recently commented that his main goal for starlink is not to go bankrupt. Everything else therefore, would feed from that.

While i'm not fundamentally anti nuclear the long lead time and high cost of installation surely makes renewable and battery storage a serious contender against nuclear at this stage, right?

You're forgetting delays on the switch side like spanning tree checks, arp table population, DHCP. But yeah, there's no reason it shouldnt be improved.

Same. I'm at 7680x2160 pixels but over two 24 inch screens at 60hz. Once you get used to it you won't go back.

This is why I like the Tech Lead on Youtube. He's now retired but he encapsulated the typical engineer playbook we are all striving for, get highly educated, get a good job, be happy. From examining his outlook we can see that there rarely is satisfaction at these high stress jobs, and that there are other goals in life that are far more wholesome.

Batteries being made today will last 30 years, the first 15 will most likely be in a car and after that in a house battery. In 30 years we'll have drastically different ways of coping with waste so this concern about recycling is such a red herring.

Starlink has its place but it's not anywhere close to reaching the terrabits that fiber optic can do.
