I have at least one autoimmune disorder.

There are tests that can be run to show an immune response.

One thing I’ve learned is it’s extremely hard to get doctors to run the tests.
AND there are a whole lot of them.
AND
I’ve run into many doctors that are 10-20 years out of date with treatment and diagnosis protocols.

As in, current recommendations are that test X isn’t reliable. Use test Y.
Doctor refuses to run any test because you’re the wrong gender.
AND
The moment you see someone in a practice your banned from seeing anyone else in the practice. So second opinion means going to 20 miles to another center.

Oh, and it’s 3 months+ to get a single appointment. You may need two dozen appointments until they narrow in on the issue.

That something is possible still leaves a massive gap of getting it done.

No. AFAIK, they may target different proteins on the virus hull and also differ in other respects among each other. Some of them might be less effective than others, some might be more prone to being rendered ineffective by virus mutations than others, there can be substantial differences in the number of complications caused by vaccination, and some of them could also cause problems with developing future vaccines for deadly coronavirus variants that may occur another time.

At least, that's how I understand it from what I've heard. Others should please correct me if I'm wrong.
There are more immune mechanizms beside antibodies (T-cells, B-cells).
For the common cold there are different viruses, so you may get a cold caused by different ones.
It's nowhere near as clear cut as you make it out.

There are even plenty of examples in the page you link of justifiable ex post facto laws. For example war crimes.

To be honest, because of the devastating long term effects of environmental pollution, and the deaths it has caused, I would quite happily argue that laws applying to it could be ex post facto. Crimes against future generations.

I remember covering this in my philosophy degree and you can argue about it for hours. The example I remember was Nazi collaborators who reported on Jews or resistance fighters or even falsely accused neighbours.

They got people killed, often maliciously, but what they did was perfectly legal at the time. Should they have gotten away with their complicity or should they have ex post facto laws brought against them?

In the time of the US founders, the scale of damage a single human or company could conceivably do for profit was a lot less.
What if Covid-19 has long term negative effects?
Yes and no. They can do the same thing, but with varying amounts of effort. SML has what is essentially a hard coded typeclass for equality with special syntax for it as well (two single quotes instead of one). There can also be issues creating and overloading operators. There's still ongoing discussion about modular typeclasses for SuccessorML

Here's some info if you're interested.

It doesn't work for photons, if you want to calculate the momentum (mass) of photons it will be planck's constant / λc.

Going going by the standard relativistic mass calculation of SR alone m = γm0, γ = 1/[square root of (1 − v2/c2)], you get a division by zero which is well a no no, but this is where as you approach the speed of light your mass becomes infinite comes from.
Let's see, because the vaccination probably requires two shots per person with probably 6-8 months in between, so it will take time...
Based on the experiences that I - and my wife - have had in trainings of this type, I am somewhat skeptical that any such “cult” exists. There were moments of discomfort, but I was never coerced or made to feel negative about myself as a white man. I have always walked away from these events with a better sense of myself (for good and bad) which I view as a positive thing.

This is infuriating :( Hope you weather the storm and end up in a better spot soon.

But, this is one of my concerns too. I equate money with time and if, as a law-abiding citizen, I work diligently for a couple of decades and pay my taxes, when circumstances change – I should be assured some sort of a safety net. Otherwise, what is the point of wasting time working to pay taxes? Is this the hard reality that we cannot rely on governments taking care of us and need to come up with more individualistic backup plans in such circumstances? Does paying all of your taxes and being a model law-abiding citizen make you a sucker?
That type of thing is exactly what I'm referring to. At its worst NextDoor is a social network for a clone army of Nosy Nancy. "Saw teenager walking on sidewalk. Suspicious. Noted, shall call police." Nosy Nancy lives a block away from a school and watched a student walking home after school.

Iterate ad nauseam for Goodwill donation trucks, VTA Lite Rail stations, recycling centers, whatever fits that neighborhood's definition of "undesirables" and what "attracts them".

Yes, there are good things regarding NextDoor and I have experienced some of them. However, in my experience the ratio skews poorly and towards suspicion and towards hate.

It's been a few years since I've been there and I have no regrets. On a nice day, it was a silly place.
Only 0.002% of estates pay the tax every year. The best way to avoid paying the tax is to reduce the wealth of an estate by transferring it to insurance or separate entities like a foundation, limited liability company, family limited partnership, or charitable trust. Most wealthy people start estate planning long before retirement. The ones that end up paying are folks like Prince or the newly wealthy that die young.
Pretty cool. To say it feels alive, well, compared to a city without any traffic, it does. But without pedestrians, and with cars never turning, it doesn't feel very alive yet. Would be cool to expand on this.
Pfizer is already mass producing their vaccine and are saying they’ll have 100 million doses available this year and are targeting 1.3 billion next year.

The US has five million people who tested positive and have recovered. Likely also another 30-50 million who were never tested because their symptoms were to minor. And another 66-165 million who have cross reactive T-cells.

Some researchers have concluded that the herd immunity threshold for sars-cov-2 could be as low as 10% or as high as 50%. I don’t think anyone sees it as high as 80%.

>yet, we're somehow entitled to any riches they may have left behind

The kids of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are getting a miniscule amount of their fathers' wealth - how is that possible if supposedly they have a right to it?

So you have it all backwards. The descendent are not entitled to the wealth of their parents or ancestors. The right to property (including disbursement through inheritance) is given to those that own it! The dollar I earn, I can do as a please with and has already been taxed.
Those charts are already inaccurate. I wouldn't rely on them.

That's a good point.

Where's the line between knowingingly circumventing the spirit of the law by following the letter.

For example Teflon has been replaced with chemically similar compounds that just aren't Teflon. It'll take decades for the studies to come in, in the mean time every human is being exposed to these chemicals in significant amounts.

Then we have bpa, Neonicotinoids and other pesticides. We have cases where companies knowingly sell talc contaminated with asbestos for decades.

We know these products kill people, we now the companies that make thenknow they are killing people and yet we can't claw back decades of fraudulently acquired profits and revenues?

Imo, we should treat these behaviors like Nazis where everything they touched gets seized, even decades later. If that ruins some lives, well, whose worse off? The injured class or the child who inherited blood money?

I've used Java and C++ in a few low latency applications and I do prefer Java in certain scenarios. The whole ecosystem around Java makes rapid development easier meaning we could make safe changes quicker which is a big benefit in trading systems where you need to react to unpredictable market conditions.

The article focuses quite heavily on Zing vs Hotspot but it'd be interesting to see an analysis of a variety of the standard JVMs GC methods (namely Shenandoah).

For anyone interested in low latency Java I'd recommend watching some of Martin Thompson's talks on building LMAX and his blog Mechanical Sympathy is a great start too.
> All the rights that corporations have stem from the rights of the owners. Corporations have rights, because the owners have rights.

This is simply not true. All of the rights that corporations have stem from a public-interest grant by the state. If the rights of corporations came from the owners, we 1) could jail stockholders for the crimes of the corporation, and 2) wouldn't need corporations, because all they are is liability shields.

Corporations aren't actual people, they're statutory people. Little branches of the government.
Studies also show that the immunity for original SARS (the close relative) lasts many years.
Vaccination is not 100% (more like 50%) effective and will really only help if we achieve herd immunity.
I wonder if people went into the habit of synchronizing git pushes with socializing breaks, with the proverbial excuse of "yeah, compiling ...".

On day, someone forgot to brief the foreign intern about the necessity of breaks, intern fixes the issue, pointy-hair-boss gets wind of the news, old crew gets fired, new intern gets promoted and fixes also the Pinterest spam on google images.
No. No I do not think that's reasonable.

Having a period after death for the government to bring charges against the estate seems reasonable. We already have this, but I could see a reasonable person arguing to make it a longer period.

I think it's unreasonable for the same reason getting rid of all statutes of limitations would be unreasonable. At some point, you have to let people stop looking over their shoulder. Society doesn't work very well when you incentivize people to dig up century old dirt on their enemies.
I always very much enjoy these posts with many upvotes and few comments.
who do you think is more likely to take a bribe from Chy-na?? Trump or Biden? Trump already has more money than many of the establishment politicians. Biden didn't come from a wealthy family but is dirty rich now.
Your perception of reality is heavily distorted by the leftist media that an an interest in keeping themselves in Chy-na. Bloomberg admitted the self-censorship not long ago. Any media outlet with interest in staying in Chy-na is morally compromised
Not knowing anything about big pharma, does Astrazeneca make all the money here? How much does a vaccine like this cost per person given the scale of the distribution and manufacturing?
Most big tech companies today try to build their own "walled garden" and are against interoperability. The "copyright" excuse is often used to shut down screen-scrapers or alternative clients (which is essentially what youtube-dl is), despite having even less legal standing (you could argue that YouTube has lots of copyrighted content that can and maybe did get copied, but in the case of alternative clients for social media, the majority of people - who are the original copyright holders for their content - would not care about which client is used to access the content they post). Defending youtube-dl would - if successful, set a legal precedent for the entire industry, and if unsuccessful would still prevent this company from ever using that same reason to shut down alternative clients targeting their own service.

Furthermore, if you are in any way funded by advertising or "engagement" (which is again, the majority of big user-facing tech today), I don't think messing with the RIAA or MPAA is a good strategy. Your advertisers depend on them more than on you, and if the RIAA informally "suggests" them to go to a different ad publisher they totally would.

No major IT company is going to get anywhere near this. Successfully defending this wouldn't really benefit the company (it's not like winning this upcoming lawsuit would absolve you of copyright, so that problem will remain - plus if you need to license content the now angry RIAA will be less likely to give you a good deal), might actually harm the company's own attempt at a walled garden, and would piss off a powerful industry that can influence your only funding source.

Run that in desktop, and you’ll see occasional tearing.

Run the same demo on top of bare OS kernel (i.e. reboot to console), and it will work flawlessly on top of DRM/KMS, on the same Raspberry Pi4.
That is really neat. Never thought of just including the c-files in a c-file.

There is a breakpoint between invoking gcc manually and having a build system like make or cmake that is quite annoying and this would be a nice bridge.
I did the same. It works really well for hole-punching through my stupid Comcast router! And I anticipate it will continue to work really well as I add more devices on my parent's, sibings', etc networks. It's cool to not have to think at all about where my devices are, since they're just all directly accessible through their dedicated IP on the wireguard VPN.

I also have my phone, laptop, etc all on the wireguard VPN, so I can ssh to anything from anywhere. I also have my laptop open to password-based ssh only from my wireguard VPN, so I can ssh (via termux) into my laptop, which has been extremely convenient in addition to being just plain cool. I can't speak highly enough of wireguard!
The fact that catching the COVID should be avoided instead of looked for is really obvious.

How to avoid it is the real discussion.

I could avoid it easily until now because everybody wears a mask here.

In some cases or in some countries, this is not possible, or too much people are infected already, and lockdown becomes the best solution.

Nobody is saying that lockdown is the only solution in every case, and absolutely nobody is even thinking that lockdown is making people happy.
It seems unlikely that this would be retroactive. It would probably fall under some pre existing statute like vandalism.
People aren't worried about 8-10 weeks of lingering effects.

Those 4 week and 8 week statistics are part of an attempt to understand what's going on. It doesn't mean 8 weeks is considered long covid.

They are worried about effects where people got it months ago and are still disabled from it. Things like still struggling to walk upstairs 6 months after getting covid.

And that young, fit people are reporting it, not just "old".

The worry is that it doesn't appear to be getting better for them yet. The greatest worry is that people who get it might never recover, or might take years to recover. We can't know yet.

Flu and other viruses affect some people that way, but it's a small number of unlucky people. The worry is that the number affected by long covid in this way are a much larger number of people.
> (like we have for literally every single fatal illness)

Smallpox. And if you consider within the borders of a given country, a dozen others (polio, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox).
There some risk of permanent or long lasting damage even if you do not die from the virus. (So it is more risky than just a nasty flu).

>Jesus christ, sometimes HN has some wild opinions.

I'm not a libertarian myself, but I miss the libertarianism of Silicon Valley and HN. They are still around, but there's a lot more progressives around and there is a very real authoritarian and violent strain that runs through that movement.
> If you listen to what they say, they admit they were not able to measure for the no-colllege male demographic in 2016, or in other words, they couldn’t model identity politics. Why couldn’t they do that? I’m not sure,

You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what FiveThirtyEight is trying to model, versus what pollsters are trying to model with the numbers they publish that FiveThirtyEight consumes. The kind of demographic weighting you're complaining about FiveThirtyEight being bad at is something the pollsters do, and is outside the scope of FiveThirtyEight's forecasting models.

If that's punishment for the children of the rich, then those children born to parents who are broke must also live a punished life, yes?

If you are against children being punished because of the economics of their parents, then surely you are in support for a strong social safety network for children (universal subsidized/free childcare, including meals, and healthcare), yes?

Which requires taxation or other funding sources.

Which means we must ponder things like: how much of Sam Walton's $100 million inheritance did his children need in order to not be punished by a higher inheritance tax? $5 million each?
I wish I could be enthusiastic about Nordic, but it's impossible with their extremely non-free SDK license: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF5_SDK/nRF5_SDK_v12.x.x/d...

The first three clauses are fine, essentially BSD-3-clause. Clauses 4 and 5 make it extremely unfriendly to free(-as-in-freedom) projects though. I don't even understand how clause 5 benefits them.

Espressif's devices are definitely not open in any sense of the word, but at least their SDK is under a bog-standard Apache license. Same goes for most of the STM SDK.

Why not? Maybe not for a client, but for a blog or static site it takes just about no compute to host that, especially if it's behind Cloudflare or something.
You know what's funny? I used to think this too, but I just started a new project with vcpkg and it works great. I understand that Conan is supposed to be good as well, though slightly less user-friendly. I can just define all of my dependencies in a json manifest, set my cmake toolchain, and run `find_package`, `include_directories`, and `target_link_libraries` as normal. It's great.
I was considering bug chasing and then isolating. I regret not doing so.

It's been estimated that 80% of the population needs to have been infected to achieve herd immunity. That means ~240 million people in the United States need to be infected. We're at 8.7 million infected. No way we get herd immunity anytime soon.

I'll do you one better. Suppose your forebears made the money illegally.

Most certainly the ill-gotten gains must be clawed back. Are you seriously positing that you should keep illegally obtained money because you yourself didn't know?

Punishment is another story, of course it wasn't your fault, so you won't do the time, but you certainly don't get to be rich off the proceeds of the crime.

ie If I rob a bank and leave the money for my kids, they don't get to keep the money when the feds finally crack the case.
This is one of the few articles that violates Betteridge's Law of Headlines[1], in that the answer is actually a qualified yes.

This is a topic that is often touted by the FIRE movement, but one I feel could use more mainstream understanding: very small decisions (ones that get washed out quickly by hedonic adaptation[2]), summed over a lifetime, can be the difference between comfortable financial independence and a cash-strapped retirement. The rule of thumb that I've found helpful is to remember every $5 daily decision I make not to spend, if I conceptualize it as being made for my future self in similar situations on future days, adds up to $20,000 in a decade.

The mental exercise ends up being almost Kantian[3], but in a population of one: "if I buy this latte, I am espousing the general principle that when I am bored and near a Starbucks I buy a latte. That habit costs $10k per decade. Is that worth it to me?"

Of course, there is a place for treating oneself and differences in people's saving habits are not the sole determinant of wealth outcomes because of a variety of other structural factors. But I've found that treating habitual decisions this way has been a great boost in my mindfulness and pursuit of financial independence.

I just ponied up for the first issue, I really hope this meets the minimum requirement. Just the other day I subbed for Retro Gamer. It's expensive af at $92 with a 20% discount, but worth it, imo.

Something about having a physical magazine that's an unchangeable snapshot in time is so appealing to me lately. I have no nostalgia for the Amiga (never had one growing up), but I do have an Amiga 500+ now and love discovering this thing 30 years later. Community is incredible and the Amiga's ongoing development makes it a really fun system to own.

Edit: On a side note, I still subscribe to National Geographic Magazine. If you are interested in that type of content, Nat Geo magazine is just exquisite. Photography is stunning and the long form articles are usually months/years in the making and written beautifully. It's absolutely loaded with substance, even the ads are interesting. I can't recommend it highly enough and I think it's only $19/year. Paper quality is slightly lower than what I remember as a kid, but that's pretty minor.
