Please do not post flamewar comments to Hacker News, regardless of how wrong other people are, or how much smarter you are, or how wrong you feel they are, or how smart you feel you are. Flamewar hell is not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.
We're trying for a different sort of website, one in which people have thoughtful, curious conversation across differences.

If you look at my comments more closely you'll see that banning accounts is a small portion of what I do. Mostly I try to persuade and explain to users what kind of site we're trying to have here, what the site guidelines are, and how we apply them.
It always feels like the mods are against you (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), but you can't take that as evidence that we disagree with you. The people with opposite views to yours are just as sure that we're secretly agreeing with you and moderating the site to privilege your views. That's just how it goes.
I would like to push against moral judgement being used to determine if treatment should be offered at all. (To be clear: I’m a fully vaccinated and boosted person that masks consistently.)
My understanding is that the field of medicine is heavily against this because they have historical cases where moral judgement to deprive care have resulted in human rights abuses and medical neglect due to bigotry. It might end up disproportionately affecting the homeless, those afflicted with addiction, single mothers, and the poor.
I agree with this comment and am fully vaccinated as well, and would like to just comment on the

Dear COVID scientogists, if you engage in a public discourse where your opponents have to write a disclaimer like this to prevent getting downvoted, you have failed at civic discourses and even if all vaccines were 100% effective and had 0 side effects, your behaviour would still be abhorrent.
I agreed with GP sentiment (and wrote a similar comment myself), but absolutely disagree with your sentiment.
Being able, but unwilling, to get vaccinated substantially shifts my priors of where your comment is coming from. It is useful information, and I appreciate when people disclose it.
If you replace vaccination with an analogous, more politically one-sided limit case (say [not being a Nazi]:[supporting a policy of Hitler] - in typical Godwinian fashion), you can see why this sort of information would be useful.
Your line of thinking is a typical ad hominem; you should evaluate an argumentation based on its merits, not what the meatball behind the online handle happens to do in his free time.
Beware what you wish for. There is no bottom to this rabbit hole. Everyone does something potentially harmful to their bodies. Drivers, airplane travelers, meat eaters, people who stress themselves too much, suicide attempt survivors, people who live next to a polluting industrial plant even if they could afford to move elsewhere.
There is a reason why the Hippocratic oath does not have exceptions for currently unpopular groups. Even captured Nazi war criminals weren't denied medical care in prison.
I am not in favor of sentencing people to death just because their stupidity happened to lie on the vaccination axis, while other stupid people get to live.
Vitamin D and air quality is the major underlying factor behind COVID severity - its why the virus exhibits such seasonality. Pushing vaccines doesn't address underlying public health problems.
The healthcare isn't free. It is paid for through taxation. They have paid into the same healthcare system (through taxation) as everyone else and should be entitled to the care.
Draconian measures such as what you suggest just make people more suspicious of authority not less.
Firefox on Windows can also be configured to use the system store. Most corporate admins would do this because it makes for only having to manage them in one place. On Mac it can't though, and on Linux there isn't really a definitive system one (unless you consider OpenSSL's).
No not if the cert is preloaded into the system store or browser.
However mobile platforms are more finicky now. For example in Android 7 and above you can no longer add certs to the system store in most management modes. Only to the user store. And apps can choose whether to obey the user store or not. So many apps then refuse to work.
There's a few management modes that do allow it but they require a full wipe to start the enrollment process which starts from the setup wizard.
Do you see evidence that cases are increasing in the unvaccinated much faster than in vaccinated? I'm not finding anything that supports that assertion. If you can point me in the right direction, I will look with an open mind.
My point was, if transmissibility has increased to a degree that cases are increasing vaccinated populations, isn't it logical to conclude that cases in the unvaccinated would have increased to a much greater degree?
Which of Thiel's companies was it? Palantir? Just curious what your contribution was in his longstanding efforts to make the world an objectively worse place.
Do you know of any oss projects using absurd? Or maybe an ORM built on top of it? It doesn't seem like there's any ecosystem built around it yet, and their example project is too trivial to be useful. I'd have to have to built even the most basic CRUD functionality from scratch.
It’s really not that much trouble. Most of the ORM like things over IndexedDB introduce extra bugs and slowness for you to deal with anyways - SQLite is millions of times easier to use than IndexedDB, so you’re getting a good deal out of considering AbsurdSQL “just” an ORM for IndexedD… as long as you don’t need to support Safari.
Yeah but you don't need to go through a web worker to use any other database product. Seems like with absurd you'd have to create a separate worker for each query and write your CRUD stuff in a potentially clunky, asynchronous style by passing messages to/from those workers. Sounds painful to me.
I think it's safe to say you're not the intended audience for anything math-related, given that you're going to a dictionary to try to figure things out...
