Good:

+ ~90% of individuals achieve immunity.

+ no significant side-effects.

Not so good:

- two doses needed, 3 weeks apart, immunity after one month from first dose. Slow rollout.

- -80C storage and transport needed. Challenging, but doable in developed countries, but still may slow down mass rollout. Not feasible in many developing countries.

I still wonder about long-term immunity. Anyone can share any insight?
Just because you don't find layoffs as ideologically palpable as shedding (some or all) the inefficiency incurred by covid doesn't make the markets wrong.

There's potential for a huge gain in efficiency here. The stock market is fundamentally a long bet (if you want to short the entire market you invest in things outside it). Of course the market is exited at the long term prospects of that.

Also, you're being a little disingenuous when yo say "These are the same markets that cheer when job cuts and redundancies are announced." When one under-performing company cuts jobs it tends to go up because costs are decreased. When a well performing company announces a mass layoff it tends to be a toss up because signals are mixed. When a ton of companies announce layoffs the market tanks because the signal being sent is things are getting worse all around. You're comparing a positive reaction to a single entity event (company announces layoffs) to a positive reaction for a market wide event (potential for covid to become less of a burden on the economy as a whole). You can't cross compare as if they're 1:1 like that.
"diverse backgrounds"

What does that mean exactly? Surely a random sample of people will have diverse backgrounds.
> It is very easy to have a "apps and services"-free experience: just kill notifications. Why would the paper make a difference? It's not like your "attention-clawing" misconfigured device is not still at your reach.

Absolutely true, this article is generally a reminder for people (like myself) who can struggle with attention and are a little too easily pulled into things once I'm engaged with a screen.

I try to keep my notifications groomed appropriately, but I also have many allowed through thanks to work. I can groom all I want, but a computer is always going to offer more distractions than paper.
No, it won't. they are projecting 50 million doses to be ready in 2020 and 1.1 billion next year. That means that mom and dad and grandma are likely to get it within the next few months and that by mid next year, you'll probably have access to it if you are a healthy thirty year old.
Experimental vaccine? I disagree.
Nearly 45,000 people have taken this vaccine, and they have been monitored for months to make sure no adverse reactions have happened.
Combine that with the fact that we live in 2020, and that our knowledge of vaccine science is much better than it was just a couple of decades ago, and it's hard to believe that this is an "experimental" vaccine.
The first couple days the big counties were counting 24/7. The managers were on TV talking about their teams, and you could watch live streams on many of the counting areas.

The court is likely throwing nothing out. The no poll watcher lawsuit was already laughed out of court when the lawyers had to admit a 'non-zero' number of poll watchers were present the whole time [1]. Trump might be fine lying on Twitter constantly, but in court his lawyers would prefer to not commit perjury.

If the markets react that means it is probably significant news, since the people who have millions at stake think this is enough to increase the future outlook of the top companies. You should take them seriously because the markets reflect the thoughts of hundreds of thousands of people who's salary depends on trying to find out what the future looks like. Not sure what would be a better indicator of whether news is significant or not.

Now of course what is good for top companies may not be good for individuals, so you can't just say that a stock price increase means people's lives are going to be better. But I think you can say that a stock market increase means the news you are seeing is more likely to be important.
Besides the 90% protection, does the research or testing imply a reduced severity should one actually catch the disease by rolling a 92 on the dice? I'm presuming the white blood cells and t-cells can act as de-escalators but I don't really know.

16,000 votes is only a half a percentage of people in AZ committing voter fraud, and that's assuming they each only submit one fraudulent ballot. Apparently people have been caught submitting dozens of ballots in the names of people they didn't have any right to. If 0.02% of people did that, it flips the state.

You can also make the "doesn't make sense" argument about voting itself, since exactly zero of the states will be decided by a single vote with extremely high probability, but lots of people still voted.

It's not much of a stretch to expect that a fraction of people smaller than the lizardman constant are not doing a diligent cost benefit analysis.
That and not caring who is hurt along the way and from whom their hoarded wealth was exploited.

Back in 1989, I worked with a guy who did some troubleshooting on a machine, then got the modem to connect by whistling at it down the phone line. I didn't see or hear it happening, but I had no reason to doubt him.
I think it would have been even easier to understand if they used the launch year of the architecture. Of course you may need a finer number (include the month or just a count if there are multiple launches in a year?) but I think it is worth it to get a rough idea of how old something is without finding a lookup table.
I don't know if there is "one true motivation" for working on open source software, and any other reasoning is a lack of understanding.

Do you really perceive EU/US having the same level of independence of judges, newspapers and regulation bodies as Russia and China? Do you think that minority parties and voices are accepted to the same degree?
depends. If this provides spread prevention as well, then places can start opening up in about 6 months as enough locals get vaccinated as to slow the spread to the rest. On the other hand if this provides only some immunity but you are more infectious (ie the body doesn't fight the virus off, just makes it less dangerous - I don't think this is possible but....) we can't open up for years as anyone vaccinated is a risk to everyone else.

Of course there are other vaccines in development. If any other them pass trails that changes things too. we can only speculate as to how.

No matter what though, there is now a real light at the end of the tunnel.
Even in that case. Think of a car lease, ownership can be reverted but the lessor has no access to the vehicle on their own.
> So those who claim that Russian vaccine is only on the 1/2 phase spread an outright lie.

Russian vaccine was announced back in August, when it was only on phase 1/2. In contrast phase 3 Pfizer/biontech had been well under way at that time.

Russia announced a not fully tested vaccine, proudly called it "Sputnik V". The exact words Putin used when announced it was: "As far as I know, a vaccine against a new coronavirus infection has been registered this morning, for the first time in the world". So geopolitical concerns and pride are correct assessment. No wonder it drew skepticism.

> Not sure how you would practically do that.

The idea would be to somehow scan the design of the chip, presumably using an electron microscope as progre said, and compare it against the design's netlist. This isn't something I know much about, so perhaps it's not at all practical, but at least in principle this should be possible for chips with open designs.

> You could thwart all that with a microcode layer anyway.

I don't see that the particular techniques used in the design, such as microcode, would matter. The question is whether the published netlist matches the one on your chip.

> I think the closest you're going to get to "verifiably secure" is an FPGA based core.

I agree that's the most practical solution.

Thus far in 2020, Gallup finds 55% of Americans reporting that they own stock, based on polls conducted in March and April. This is identical to the average 55% recorded in 2019 and similar to the average of 54% Gallup has measured since 2010.

Look at Drafts - it has all that, and supports JavaScript.
It might be tougher in my state because we allowed ballots that were received by mail on Election Day, but without a postmark. One of the accusations of voter fraud includes backdating the postmarks on some number of ballots so they would be counted.

Obviously postmarks weren't created or intended to be cryptographic verification of when something was received anyway.
While true, the approach they took is extremely similar to several other vaccine candidates which is a good sign that the approach works and other vaccines will be equally effective.

There's going to be more and more of these as browsers fully accept and cement themselves into their role as operating systems and inevitably expose more bare metal functionality.

The only way to stop it is to not use a browser that thinks it's an OS. That means not being able to use websites that use new OS features like web components, webgl, etc. It means not using these features as web dev unless you're forced into it by getting paid. Browsers that treat the web as a document instead of an application will have far, far fewer remote exploits.
The top 1% own over 50% of equity in the country. The following 9% own about 30% of equity. All in all, that's the top 10% owning more than 80% of the equity in the country.

This seriously enrages me. We knew coronavirus was going to last years and could mutate. Why did people claim lockdowns were the "Science" solution?

This! There's also plenty of research backing up the idea that writing with a pen commits the information to memory more effectively than typing. It makes sense if you consider the extra time and effort being dedicated to what you're writing.

I've ditched pen and paper in the past because it was too slow for me. Over time I've realized that desire to "go fast" can be good in some contexts, and bad in others. Slowing down with pen and paper does a much better job of clarifying and directing my thoughts.

However this 1995 paper (1) indicates that the S&P 500 behavior does "Granger Cause" changes in USA GDP. i.e changes in S&P 500 does predict changes in GDP from 1 to 3 quarters out. So that's the one legitimate reason to be encouraged by rising markets. Perhaps the woman who cuts my hair will be able to get off food stamps by spring.

There's still malware on the app store, Apple only removes things that look like malware. They don't instrument the code during reviews.

I would be outraged if I didn't know what cookies were, but since I do, I think it's entirely reasonable, any half modern browser provides a mechanism to allow or disallow, and otherwise manage cookies, and I'd much prefer that we abandon these idiotic "we value your privacy" nag-screens and bars and let it be up to the browser and user settings.

Even the smallest change to the Set-Cookie header could have made it trivial to implement a browser-side UI for this:

Set-Cookie: <cookie-name>=<cookie-value>; Max-Age=<non-zero-digit>; Description=<LANGUAGE:User readable description,...>; Importance=<Required|Recommended|Noncritical>

If people don't want cookies, they can disable them in their browser.

This is still one of the most idiotic laws the EU has made so far.

A vaccine was (and still is to some degree), in fact, unpredictable.

When will one be developed?

How effective will it be?

Will it have any negative side effects?

How hard will it be to manufacture and distribute?

All of these are important questions that were hard to predict. Today's announcement sheds some light on possible answers to these questions, so this new information is being priced into the market.
People are being willfully obtuse when they say the kind of fraud being alleged isn't possible. A certain political party spent that last six months forcing rule changes on swing states vis a vis mail in voting that you can't compare this year's election to any that came before.

Most of the fraud allegations (at least the ones where the numbers would be large enough to make a significant difference) revolve around these unsolicited mail in ballots and the extended deadlines which we've never had before in this country.

And please, kicking out GOP poll watchers (and only GOP poll watchers) and blocking their ability to observe and inspect ballots might not prove fraud took place, but it does prove criminal intent in my eyes, and the eyes of millions of other Americans.

These concerns need to be addressed.

You mean delaying the announcement of a vaccine. They didn't delay the process.

- Statistically strong

- There are some mild side effects

- 50M doses initially - billions in 2021
> There's potential for a huge gain in efficiency here ... Of course the market is exited at the long term prospects of that.

IMHO this supports the OPs point, which is that the stock market in its current incarnation does not care about the lives of human beings.

Which is unacceptable. We collectively have enough creativity and intelligence figure out how to have a stock which can not only reflect corporate profit but also human well-being.

I think it begins by acknowledging market externalities - pollution being one of them - which allow for activities which are profitable within the shared fiction of the market, but which are, in our broader shared reality, ultimately destructive.

The Happinese/Well-being GDP also seems like an interesting idea.
Because an effective vaccine would be really good for the economy so a positive market reaction indicates that people researching this stuff think the likelihood of an effective vaccine being ready in the near future is higher. So it's not cheering the market reaction, it's cheering the potential for an effective vaccine and the market reaction is just a signal that the vaccine is legit.
