Disease effects versus vaccine effects. Propaganda consumers ("news" viewers) seem to be generally clueless about one side or the other, which informs their balancing decision.

But you're right, a baby getting Hepatitis B versus the HepB vaccine. For the 0.15% of babies with perinatal HepB (2022 CDC cohort[1]) it's easy to say give them the vaccine after infection.

What about the other 90% of babies without HepB getting the vaccine (yes, they do)? Are our hospitals and elementary schools some version of Epstein Island? Are the hospitals competent enough to give the vaccines too incompetent to screen? What are population-level downsides to giving vaccines at such young ages before there is a reasonable risk of infection? I don't know, but I believe my preferred propaganda networks refuse to tell me, which makes the balancing decision harder for me in such cases than it is for you in your preferred case.

Calling a sentient living thing "a common good of humanity" is pretty dark. Putting those concepts together like that is an oversight.

What does the AMA have to do with the Clinton-era cap on federal DGME and IME residency payments? New York spends billions every year, California spends none. These are choices that Congress and California make every year, not the AMA.

spent 2 hours, had my blood pressure taken 4 times ... cost me $2,000.

I'd hate to see what they billed your insurer.

legal

don’t tell you

As a Wikipedian who has edited primarily on US legal systems but also Germany's ... I seriously doubt more than a handful of non-attorneys have any clue about the actual workings of the German legal systems.

The biggest issue is of course the lack of codified laws and regulations. (Note that collections like the Gesetze im Internet are more like US Statute Compilations. If you don't know what the Statute Compilations are and have never heard anyone mention them, case in point.) The Swiss SR is odd man out of course, even though it's unofficial it's still usable. US states and states like Germany do however follow similar court reporting practices, e.g. court case decisions are only selectively published, so we have similarly little insight into how laws are actually implemented in practice. (The US federal government is better, but its impact on everyday people is incomparable.)

Pity the kids getting jobs in the ol' Argo Mill. Exactly what the article and OP are lamenting: trillions of dollars of investment in 1800s-era mining for gold, that rare earth metal vital to national security. No sane person would ever want to live in the Rockies.

contaminated drinking water, poor air quality, acid rain that ruins your cars paint, noise and light pollution etc, etc,

Ah yes, who can forget everyone's experience at the Denver, Colorado zoo, a 10 minute drive (or 30-40 minute bike ride) from a massive oil refinery operating since the 1930s. Same with the Rocky Mountains, totally polluted and gross by the likes of factories like Coors. Definitely stay away from those places. Sundance Film Festival in Boulder, CO? With so many factories up there and everywhere around, what's going to get them first, Colorado's water, air, or rain?

N_DEVELOPMENT is a line discipline number for testing, first supported in Linux v5.18-rc1 from 2022, so you don't have to overload an actual discipline like SLIP or PPP when hacking.

I believe your point is that, despite the resources thrown at the instant situation, you are admitting they are not resolved as of now, but the resolution will happen and be benign.

assuming that anything released that is not resolved has to have gone through intense rigorous investigation, such that it means there is no known explanation for it

Yes.

therefore it must be something truly anomalous

No, that is false. You are missing my point that, in the instant cases, presuming your point is true, is that this is a failure of the combined capacity of the US government. Nothing to do with cabals or aliens. Those are particular to your arguments.

Assuming your argument is true, my argument is strengthened. My argument is what your argument implies but does not make explicit because it wants the argument to be about cabals and aliens.

You are discussing IAP/IFOs. That's good they were able to identify light and released videos of it. And yeah I get why conspiracy theories of military parabnormal cabals is exciting, but also beside the point. This is about UFOs/UAP and not about whether AARO can identify light but whether the US combatant commands, the alphabet agencies, and the White House together can.

IDK I do find it funny the linked project readme is dunking on this thread.

And I am again going to mention the book Linkers and Loaders by John R. Levine from 1999, I'm not sure if there's anything comparable to it. How else does anyone know anything about this stuff?

No, these releases are UFOs as of now, after extensive cross-agency review. Your premise of "one person didn’t know what it was" is demonstrably false. This is not a release of identified anomalous phenomena or IAP or IFOs.

The Pentagon, White House, &c are not unusual or unique observation conditions. These are not just UFOs at the time, they are UFOs now after going through extensive review regimes.

Wishcasting. The US could let in tens of millions of immigrants in a single year.

Areas and institutions that lean Democratic politically. Plus a few GOP areas with long-running demographic decline.

balloons and birds

missiles

diffraction+aperture artifact

Uh if the US military cannot identify birds, balloons, light, and more importantly missiles after thorough cross-agency review, I think you're not seeing the forest for the trees.

I do wonder what percent of government actions meet this definition.

Because they suck at it, would by guess. And other countries are honed in on in other HN topics (even within this one), this is one of the few for the Russian SFSR/F.

Too bad they can't really remove entrenched information about their government systems, which are becoming easier to gain understanding of, often with official assistance. It is only going to increase despair in their country and without as knowledge of its formal descriptions get more detached from knowledge of actual federal subject governance, with no democratic outlets for change. Though I'm sure in the central okrug, and even in the Pecherskyi raion, they don't realize this.

The W3C equivalent PDS efforts are in the LWS WG.[1][2] And of course other W3C standards like DIDs, VCs, and ActivityStreams/ActivityPub. W3C is still missing standards around data replication and a global indexing / feed layer.

What does majority US control of a US company have to do with US government "America First" policy?

And I don't think de-prioritizing foreign investments is part of that policy.

I'd rather the system start managing models rather than each app doing their own thing. Whether that's engineering for and supporting KServe and inference snaps, an Ollama systemd service, or something else I don't care. But it's time to get serious about system tooling around AI.

I don't think either freemium or low-tier consumers will get cut off. You have to maintain dominance in the public mind, and use it to cut out competitors in an ever increasing product set. You can't compete with free.

Good. If they meet US and EU standards, and we can sue them into oblivion if something goes wrong, sure, slap the 100% tariff on them and import those suckers. The US plays fast and loose with consumer protections in general, but not cars.

Where are Fedora and Debian/Ubuntu on this?

Buses and train cars are a small part of infrastructure, regardless of whether it's the only part of infrastructure certain information ecosystems speak to. But sure. $30 billion per year over many decades for those parts, in one city, provides pretty extensive systems that don't even make sense in smaller cities.

I bet per capita buses and train cars are dwarfed by even cities well below the tiers

And I will find even smaller US cities with even better metrics.

New York City. Compared to small cities like London, Paris, or Rome there are areas where it's not on par, but its multimodal transport, energy, heating, water, sanitation systems is larger and more comprehensive than most cities in Europe.

Murderers who are declared insane by a court aren't even involuntary committed for lengthy periods of time.

This is probably the lesser of evils, more likely than not. That said, I'm still using AI to write articles lol.

I use AI to generate proposed edits, usually from provided references. That way it's less free form. I try and run them through two or three models, since I have found they're best when critiquing material from other models. References themselves are often uncovered by AI, or at least AI-backed Google Books. I also use AI to fact check material from other editors.

The fact that many replies mention Matrix and the Politico article does not is hilarious. Why even bother with major news orgs anymore?
