So for years I was diagnosed as depressed, but I never really felt depressed just tired, really, really tired. After a suicide attempt I decided to just let go and find a therapist who I could really really relate with and let it all hang out. Low and behold this gentleman figured out what I had a feeling about all along but could not put a finger on it. What he figured out was that I had PTSD comorbid with ADHD, when I would get down in a hole via the PTSD the ADHD would leave me in a pattern in which I could not figure out how to put one foot in front of the other, which would leave me in the hole watching the world stack on top of me.

He said he had seen this a lot with "resistant" depression because it is not depression at all, it is PTSD coupled with ADHD/ADD which is a really bad and many times fatal combo. ADD makes you feel just as worthless as depression, and PTSD is a match in a dynamite factory coupled they can look a lot like resistant depression. I user anyone who suffers from resistant depression to at least have the checks for comorbid PTSD and ADD.

There are two things relevant to this design:

1. what you are looking at is basically a freezer; For certain effects you need a very very low temperature.

2. Gold in general is a very good material as it is very stable and doesn't react with a lot of stuff (it is not very corrosive). It also conducts electricity very well.

I would also argue, that what you see is normally the open version of it or it was opend to show the inside: https://www.information-age.com/ibm-commercial-quantum-compu... they are in tubes; Might even be vacuum.

Also heat goes up, cold stays down; might also have influecned the design but actually you are probably better of asking a physics person :D
> so we [the world] can develop and approve vaccines for new diseases within months?

Approving vaccines could be done in days, if we are willing to ignore the obvious problem of that approval being completely worthless. Situations like the current one with a heavily incentivized race to the mass market are favoring crooks willing to fudge tests. In the last two decades multiple bad actors (GKV, Ranbaxy, Cetero) had been found in the economy of clinical trials. Due diligence takes time.
LOL looks like this has become such a common tale now and this instance is the straw that broke the camel’s back. The Mac-faithful of HN have been angered with your peasant tales! You will be flagged and must never speak of this again!

Well... that ain’t gonna happen, hate to break it to ya. I switched to Manjaro years ago and never looked back. I’m still excited about it and glad to talk about any and all aspects of my multiple workstations that all run perfectly. I’m really happy with them because unlike my Mac, an update has never bricked any of my machines or stopped me from running apps with their “safety” measures.

Sorry Mac users that your passion for computing has withered away at altar of Apple and now you want to stop others from discussing their own kits. It’s to be expected though - Apple gives you no freedom, so you want to take it away from everyone else... Good lick with that!
HN isn't the place for baseless conspiracy theories.
So how long do you think these trials ran for? Less than two months?

"we can't measure it" doesn't imply "it doesn't exist". Maybe it exists, maybe not. Let's improve our tools and try again.

> Someone I know in immunology reported that only 5% of grant proposals received funding.

And what percent deserve funding? Given the incremental publish or perish nature of academia most of it likely isn’t (if it’s anything like the other sciences).
Haha. I understand what you're thinking, but from a benefit standpoint, it's not only about the 95% having fewer symptoms.

It's about the 95% never being contagious.

So they can't cause the disease to spread to the 5% that are at risk of death.
True. It seems we need to wait for a generation of media-consuming legislators to age into the Senate to get past The Eagles complaining that their music is being "pirated" on Tik Tok.
The 94.5% value certainly seems like it has too many significant figures. If just 1 more person had happened to contract covid in the vaccinated group, the success rate would be reported as quite different.
Silicon Valley is called that because it’s where all of the chip fabs were. They’ve not anymore, and with TSMC coming to Phoenix, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that Phoenix is becoming the center of the microprocessor manufacturing industry in the US. The existing infrastructure here with machine shops, contractors, etc that build and maintain the fab equipment is an obvious reason why they chose this City.

> Chemical/industrial agriculture only supplies food for about 30% of the world.

While that is possible, if solely measured by direct to consumer purchases/ I think that may be an understatement as the majority of it is used in the ancillary food system as fodder for livestock (GMO and subsidized corn for the most part).

The numbers are are really hard to get accurately, as the Food Industry as a whole cannot be correctly quantified by its Nature--they span from massive Mega Corp farms and it's food processors to under the radar subsistence local farms and markets that operate on a SystemD model.

I wish it were true, to be honest as it would indicate my revolution/cause has succeeded, my most ambitious target was to get involved and help break into the 50% threshold in my Lifetime: when I started and began this endeavor in my mid teens (the early 2000s) it was nearly ~85% percentage bias towards chemical based conventional Ag.

I think it's still surprising, if not "paradoxical" (obviously it's not paradoxical if it's reality).

The difference is: in your two examples we know there's a delay, and all you did was say that some people will know the result before others who are receiving the delayed result.

What the original question is saying is that you can't ask "well, what is happening right now on Proxima Centauri?" since the very question of "now" is not specific. I think that's quite different.

On Earth, with Newtonian physics, we intuitively think that "now" is shared, so we really can say "I wonder whether someone has scored a goal now," and the answer shouldn't depend on whether you're in a car or not.

>Anyone know the difference in delivery mechanism between these two? Both are mRNA right?

They're extremely similar. Both are mRNA delivered via lipid nanoparticle vector.
>Big companies become big because they find a loophole and way to exploit it. Normal businesses don't get big.

That's a non sequitur. A lot of "normal businesses" became big.

In any case, Apple didn't become big because they found a "loophole". They were on the brink of bunrupcty and become big because they put out product after product that people liked: the first iMac, the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad.

And they didn't even compete on cheaper prices, undercuttting the competition by throwing VC money (a trick Amazon did): they did it while selling only on the higher end of the market, and charging the same or more than their PC/mobile competitors.

Oh, and for the most part they didn't even do it though marketing either. Their ad budget was laughable and less than half to 1/5th compared to competitors for the first 15 years. Heck, Samsung used double to triple Apple's ad budget, and Google used 1/2 Apple's budget on just a single phone product.

> I'm sure plenty of people would be a lot less conspiracy-minded if the vaccine was just a run of the mill recombinant protein particle one, even if we needed boosters 2-3x a year.

I’d be surprised if it made a difference. Most people, myself included, have literally no idea what the relevant differences are between a protein vaccine and an mRNA vaccine (I’ll look them up after writing this, of course), let alone what S1/S2/N/E protein vaccines are.

I trust the medical establishment for much the same reason I trust our civilization in general, but people like my mum who thought they knew better are unlikely to start trusting them regardless of the names of the technical methods involved.
> And of course, being in the middle of a pandemic 'helps', in terms of funding,

Pfizer and BioNTech explicitly did not take US govt funding to create the vaccine.
I think people should be given the choice. They should lift the ban now, so people can choose.
No, that’s not what the statistics is saying. The compares the rate of symptomatic disease between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups in a double blind study.

The incidence of symptomatic people in two equal sized groups over time has reached 90 versus 5 in the unvaccinated versus vaccinated group.
There will likely be non-mRNA options, assuming they're also found to be safe and effective.

I personally will be getting whatever comes first for the general population, on day one. But it'd be dishonest if I didn't admit having concerns over safety we might not be aware of at the time this is administered that would only be known many months or years later.

That's overridden by the fact that I lost one family member to the virus and another who survived it but is already seeing long-term effects in her lungs from when she had the virus. She was just hospitalized again for those effects. If folks have more info about measuring long-term impacts of a vaccine, I'd love to hear it for the peace of mind. Again, I'll be getting the vaccine regardless, because of very clear long-term effects of the virus.
>Relax dude. You are not on trial.

Uh. I am relaxed. I'm trying to get you to relax. You should be more self aware as you're actually the one that kind of seems on edge with your initial post.

You barge into this thread with a tone that is dismissive, opinionated and wrong. You're telling me to "just use an IDE" and also that "emacs is not an IDE." I'm just telling you to stop doing that.

I usually won't tell someone to "relax" or that they're "not on trial" because it's kind of insulting and dismissive. It's also a strategic move used to flip the script to make another party seem overly emotional.

Just Read the thread next time before you respond so aggressively with your opinionated views.

>For clarity maybe?

Nah not for clarity, this is a lie. People aren't stupid and they know why they say the things they say.

You said it because you believed that I held that opinion and you wanted to dominate the conversation by telling I'm wrong. You made a mistake and you didn't really read my post. Don't do it again.
You’re forced to read these... So yes, by all means let’s only allow stories that endlessly fawn over any minor shift that Apple makes!

As per CDC, survival rates by age group are as follows:

0-19: 99.997%
20-49: 99.98%
50-69: 99.5%
70+: 94.6%

What would be the benefit for people 70 years or under taking vaccine that has "95% protection". Can anyone elaborate on what that figure actually means?

For example, of the <1% of people who would die with the virus, is a vaccine that is 95% effective going to save 95% of them? Or is this just about reducing severity for the few who have more than mild symptoms?

> Effectiveness of targeted ads directly translates to effectiveness of mass surveillance.

Assuming you're correct about the technical points of efficacy, we can still turn this around as a social problem and hypothesize that the willingness to use unproven, annoying targeted ads directly correlates to the willingness to use intrusive mass surveillance.

You bought a vacuum here are more vacuums might directly translate to you attended a protest so you're a permanent malcontent. Worse yet, the "metrics" of social monitoring aren't as black-and-white as future purchases, so badly-used surveillance might falsely think itself useful simply through confirmation biases.

That's an additional problem, also known from the flu vaccines: some of those vaccinated just can't develop enough immunity to be protected, and unfortunately there are more of such among the older population. We also don't know the numbers for that population for these vaccines.

I worry also for the times during which there are not enough vaccines for everybody who is willing to get one. And also for the times when the immunity by those vaccinated vanes -- in other vaccines that also happens faster among those who are older. These numbers we can't have now anyway, that will by definition take much more time to be known.
a test in isolation cannot be bullshit. when people talk about iq test many people imagine the person believes an iq test is a rigorous measure of all intellectual talent. or course it is not that. but it is also wrong to suggest it has no meaning at all. it does have some predictive power.

imperfect measures are not always useless, which is goof since all measures have some error.

> It's the same reason you see Coca Cola ads everywhere

This is one thing I don't understand, even though I know it must obviously work (to be clear, I'm not disputing it works. I just don't understand why/how). I know their purpose is to "remind you" Coca Cola exists, but unlike with junk removal services, you will never "need" Coca Cola and either you like it or you don't. People who like Coca Cola tend to drink it regardless of ads (some are addicts), and don't need the reminder. People who dislike Coca Cola won't ever drink it and the "need" will never exist in the future, unlike with junk removal.

So again, what's the rationale for these ads? Who needs a reminder that Coca Cola exists? I bet they are data-driven and their studies show that people do consume more soft drinks after seeing these ads everywhere -- I'm not disputing this -- but I really don't understand why it works.

Maybe the target is young kids exposed to these ads for the first time? But in general, the people in Coca Cola ads look like teenagers or in the 20-30 age segment, not kids.

"Pen and paper, compass and straight edge,"

Compass and straight edges compute what are called the constructible numbers [1], which have 0, 1, and anything obtainable via addition, subtraction, multiplication, multiplicative inverse, and square roots of positive numbers.

These will not allow you to get to logarithms. You can't avoid having to calculate them numerically; from there you may also create approximations to construct them but you might as well just use a ruler at that point.

You can compute logarithms by hand but they're notoriously tedious even by 19th century standards (and they had a great deal more tolerance for that sort of thing than we do today, for obvious reasons), which is why you could buy books full of them, and that's generally what people used.

> There would be no reasonable mechanism for a vaccine that prevents infection but somehow still allows "spreading".

Sure. I agree.

But there are mechanisms for a vaccine to prevent symptoms and still allow for some infection and spreading.

> Either you're sick or your not, the immune system doesn't "prevent symptoms" (strictly: it's the cause of them).

You seem to be contradicting yourself here. Being sick = having symptoms = the immune system being (overly) active. The main goal of all the vaccines under development is to prevent the immune system becoming overly active (AKA: fight the symptoms). Not necessarily to prevent any virus from being made in the body and being spread. Although we all hope that it also prevents spreading, it's not a given and it's not proven to do so (yet).

It's perfectly possible to be infected and infectious without "being sick" (no symptoms). Children do it all the time with SARS-CoV2.

> As far as "long term side effects"... that's also an extremely rare kind of interaction.

We're about to vaccinate some 5 Billion people. That means we have to take into consideration "extremely rare" kind of interactions. Especially if you don't want to feed the anti-vax conspiracy theories.

> I worry that your phrasing is invoking anti-vax paranoia.

I worry that releasing the vaccine too soon could invoke irreparable anti-vax paranoia.

I'm all for the vaccine and I would be willing to participate in the trials (if they had space available). But I don't think that it's a good idea to just rush this vaccine and start immunizing the herd en-masse with the risk of serious disease in 1 in 100k people (for example). Now that would really feed the anti-vax paranoia.
