There are not enough per-orders to vaccinate everyone even if they all pass trials, and nobody has the ability to manufacture enough to vaccinate the world alone in a reasonable time period anyway. If all the early vaccines pass trails we can start opening up the world in 6 months. If they is the only one we are more than a year away.

That said, all the deals are contingent on being effective. With this being 90% effective that sets a bar for the others. The FDA has previously said they need your vaccine to be 50% effective to approve it. However with this being 90% effective they are unlikely to approve one that is only 50% effective. Unlikely doesn't mean they won't: different allergic reactions; usefulness in different age groups; ability to ship to remote groups; difference in effectiveness to some minority: all are factors that may make some vaccine approved even if it is clearly the worse one to get overall.
It looks like they haven't stopped. They just are continuing to enforce it as they please.

This is a red herring. All the states are only a few % away from net neutral when it comes to federal money in vs out. Pretty much any state could go it alone from a monetary perspective. Trade agreements would be the hard part.

Also, I think you're greatly mis-judging how a deal to the tune of "be 5% poorer but do 100% listening to what the people on the coasts have to say" sounds to e.g. the midwest. You say that like it's an obvious bad deal. I don't think all of them would agree with you on that though. They might just take you up on it given the option.
To be a little more explicit about it:

* The index of packages on crates.io is stored in a git repository

* Cargo knows how to clone that down without you having git installed

* The contents of packages are not acquired by doing a git clone; source code is stored in an S3 bucket, and Cargo downloads it directly.

* You can have your project depend on a package that lives in a git repository, but you cannot upload a crate to crates.io that depends on a git repository. This means that this feature is mostly useful for end projects and private libraries, not public dependencies.

Look, I get that you find lockdowns an inconvenience but the real world isn’t a TV show where a cheap and easily distributed cure will be invented 10 minutes before the end of the episode. People will reliably die until a vaccine or highly effective treatment is widely available, and the only way to slow that is to rely on proven public health techniques.

While you’re being inconvenienced remember that you’re better off than most people who’ve ever lived. Isolation and fear of early death were a pervasive part of life until the 20th century brought vaccination and antibiotics, and we’re getting only a small reminder of what used to be normal.

> Kick out poll watchers

Were any poll watchers kicked out? Trump's claim that there weren't poll watchers in Pennsylvania all turned out to be false; their lawyer admitted in court that they actually had 19 observers in the room [1].

EDIT Meanwhile, the graphs in TFA shows that there are "bumps" in the curve, showing that Democratic-leaning counties had lower turnout in the 2016 election. This is consistent with the widespread reports of Republicans trying to suppress the vote in Democratic-leaning areas, of which [2] and [3] are more recent examples.

If you get the vaccine then get infected I wonder for how long you will be spreading it to others while you don't show any signs of virus.
Measles et al never died out, despite very aggressive, and for years successful vaccination programmes (thank you anti-vaccesrs for messing that up).

But even if we all need to get vaccinated once a year, for a 90% immunity, that sounds manageable. So good news, if it all holds up.
Previous polling in the US showed only 70% of people would want a vaccine as soon as it comes available. And it keeps going down as time goes on. https://news.gallup.com/poll/321839/readiness-covid-vaccine-...

There's no direct access to an EU court for most things; in almost all cases you first have to go through national courts.

In addition to that, most of the GDPR laws don't actually create a direct right of action. In many cases only the ICO is allowed to take action. And they may not bother.

Pretty much. After Biden was announced as the winner, people were posting pictures on conservative subreddits showing thousands of people celebrating in the streets, and they said "It sucks that Biden won, but at least covid is over".
If new pfizer's vaccine has similar numbers, e.g. 90% after two shots and 80% after one shot, can it be more efficient to just use one shot, considering current race with time since we need to deliver vaccine to billions of people? Are there numbers for protection level after one shot somewhere? I couldn't find it at first glance.
Philadelphia received over 350k mail-in ballots [1]. Biden's current winning margin for the whole state is under 46k [2].

Wayne county (Michigan) received over 430k [3]. He's won Michigan by 148k [2].

In Wisconsin, the margin is just 20k [4], with the most populous county representing 459k votes.

In Georgia--same kind of thing.

Normally I agree with the dismissive "it's so decentralized, you couldn't do it." But it's different this year. Anyone could have predicted that the pro-Trump areas would finish counting faster, and then the pro-Biden areas would have multiple days and nights to count, all in staunchly pro-Biden areas capable of swinging the election. Of course we expected mail-in votes to lean Biden, but that doesn't mean anywhere from 51-99% indicates "no fraud."

I'm not saying any fraud happened. All I'm saying is that it's not rational to presume it couldn't have happened without being detected. And it's worth some efforts to see how well we'd catch it if it were occurring.

No, trademarks are irrelevant at this point. The original author of a work retains copyright in that work, regardless of the license under which derivatives are distributed. If they have distributed their work under a lax license and then chose to stop distributing under that license, a pre-existing recipient of that code does not suddenly gain copyright. They can not claim the project as their own or lead users to believe they have copyright in the materials they are modifying and distributing other than as a derived work.

For this to come under trademark legislation, there would have to be demonstrable trade. That's hard to show in the case of free distribution.
Well, dunno about where you live, but around here, "farmers' markets" are actually attended by genuine small farmers, who genuinely grow the genuine produce they sell.

Of course, "around here" is in a rural area, surrounded by...farms.
That is the vision of both ULA and Blue Origin. They tend to get overshadowed by SpaceX in the hearts and minds of geeks, but they do have a vision.

ULA's vision is "Cislunar 1000"[0], to have an industrial economy on Mars and in orbit, enabled by fuel production on the moon. They hope to reuse their upper stages by converting them into space tugs powered by lunar fuel.

The problem with ULA is that they don't have the resources of Musk or Bezos behind them. Rather than creating the future themselves, they need to convince someone (aka NASA) to pay them to create the future.

The vision driving Bezos to invest into Blue Origin is the idea of moving industry off of Earth and into Space where it can do no harm. The moon is a focus of Blue Origin.

Both Blue Origin & ULA use Hydrogen & Oxygen for their upper stages, so the article isn't particular useful for them. The best way to get Hydrogen on the moon is to electrolyze water, and that also creates oxygen.

However, this would be very useful to SpaceX or any other Methane-Oxygen based rockets. There's no known substantial source of carbon on the moon so Methane can't be synthesized there, but Starship uses 3.55X as much oxygen as methane, so if oxygen can be locally produced, many fewer refueling launches from Earth become necessary.

Even dry ice in coolers is low tech but gets you a lot of time considering storage for the second booster dose will be centralized.

you are not alone. sleep, daily exercise (like running at least 1 hour) helps quite a bit after few weeks but it's difficult to maintain that pace for me. planning and organizing in advance is also tremendous helpful but even more difficult to maintain. As for meditation it never really worked for me unless I'm already calmed down - so it's only helping after exercise. At the moment green tea seems to have some effects but I gave up on thinking I can fix this myself (trying on/off without much lasting success for more than 10 years..) and now looking into getting a diagnosis and maybe try meds if the doctors they that it might help.
Hard to say. What is in the contract? I don't know (I assume it is public but I don't know how to look this up). Different countries may have different contracts.

I wouldn't be surprised if the contract was only that X doses would be provided to the US market (as opposed to shipping to the market in Mexico...). In this case the government is only buying a spot in the shipping queue, and not any doses.

It could be that the doses were bought by the government only for the government (military and politicians), and the rest of us are on our own. (this seems unlikely - doctors should be first in line, but an obvious extension is the doses are for doctors/nurses and the leftover for the above)

It could be the government is buying all doses for their country and will distribute them for no extra charge. This is probably what Europe has done/will do - because they tend to have government health care for anything considered essential.

I wouldn't be surprised if all 3 of the above were in use by different countries. There is disagreement as to which is best on a political level.

> I can't imagine any system where there aren't "safe" areas that politicians essentially ignore.

Of course, when you're campaigning for the support of millions of people in a large country, some areas will be prioritized over others. The problem that swing states create, which we've seen play out on multiple occasions in the US, is that a candidate can win the popular vote by a margin of millions and still ultimately lose the election. It doesn't seem logical that a democratic system exists where the majority winner can still lose the race because of how particular states are weighed in terms of electoral power. With gerrymandering factored in, the system is further skewed to require an even lower vote threshold for a particular party to retain a majority in congress versus another. Compounded, these modifications begin to fundamentally undermine the democratic system, which further discourages voter turnout and participation in the system entirely.
You criticized the commenter for objecting to lockdown. Why are the people you refer to dying? Is it possible it is because they aren't quarantining and staying at home?

I'd bet that the larger counties, while they have more ballot counting machines, probably don't have proportionally more. Expensive, specialized, maintenance-intensive, etc. Every county needs at least one, but beyond that I doubt there is a huge priority on having excess capacity.
