Not sure about this, but related: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22098473 The thing is, there doesn't appear to be any way to know whether this is the case.

I do see some FB engineers sometimes, but mostly working on open source projects there.

There is, but it's pre-pandemic data and about the general public, not the HN crowd: https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/2/21144680/verge-tech-survey...

Probably. But I am afraid that losing valuable contributions from FB people leads to groupthink and ideological bubbles. I realize that I myself have a very negative opinion of FB the company, and I think this is mostly due to the stuff I r

I wasn't talking about his death specifically, although the fact that so many people wrote about how they felt personally affected definitely says something. Name one CEO who would trigger the same reaction. Also, I also wasn't ta

I never said he was a good person. A certain Adolf from Austria is also certainly an important historical figure. I'm just saying that whether we like him or not, Steve Jobs matters, and that a century from now it will probably be help

I see your point, but I think history doesn't care about merit. Even if he was only the best phone seller in history, selling phone has become so important in our times that this achievement would still make him a historical figure IMO

For better or worse, I think he embodied the tech culture of our time more than anyone else. My bet is that he will be remembered as a capital figure for putting half of the planet on a smartphone, which is a huge cultural change (not neces

That is _exactly_ what I've been looking for the past 5 years! Unfortunately I am still on Mojave, so of course I get an error: dyld: Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_VNRecognizeTextRequest Any chance to get it to work on poor macOS 10.

Hi there, Thanks for this release! I use ST every day and I love it: the speed, the efficiency, everything. The one thing I miss, though, is manipulating files from the left panel (moving files especially). I know there is a plug-in doing t

Hi, sorry for the delayed response. Sure, it's not gonna teach as much as C about performance or how computers work. It's used mainly to introduce algorithmic concepts and basics of imperative programming. And I agree with you tha

Of course not! I rather consider I'm talking to the parents through their kids.

Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/2400 . Indeed, some people will have the vaccine before them so their parents will have SOME data by then.

by fdeage 6y ago
Probably the best option if we had some data history, but we have no stats on possible long-term effects for these vaccines, so I would have to compare with other vaccines (which might work differently). It's beyond my knowledge on vac

Giving medical advice and showing data supporting (or not) vaccination are two different things IMO.

by fdeage 6y ago
Thanks, that would be a good angle.

Of course, their concerns are valid. But I suspect their fear is more due to the current French anti-vaccination climate than to the careful reading of studies about post-vaccination effects. And remember they can still get the virus at s

That would be ok too, I guess... Let the one with the best data win. As for my employer (= French govt) policy, I'm actually not sure there is one, but if there was, that would probably be to convince people to get vaccinated.

I think the parent was referring to M. Eric Dupond-Moretti, who, a few months before becoming France's current Garde des Sceaux (Minister of Justice), joined the Assange defense team [0] and sent Macron an asylum request for Assange [1
