> making people fat

This thread isn't about being fat, it was about gout.

I've never been fat but had plenty of gout attacks. Back when I was getting my worst gout attacks I was in the best shape of my life but the problem was I was consuming too much fructose. From a combination of drinking fruit juices (a single glass can have more than my limit of 10g/day!) and not paying enough attention to sugar content of regular foods. When I finally started adding it all up I was easily reaching 100g of fructose per day.
The immunocompromised and the economy get a benefit if we get to 70% vaccinated; I get a benefit for myself just by getting the vaccine.

I’ll allow that there is seemingly a significant portion of the population who believes they don’t personally benefit from a vaccine, but your comment said -everyone- is incentivized to shirk: that’s just not true.
Even so they’re getting fibre, vitamins and other micronutrients they wouldn’t otherwise get.
Oh, I fully agree it's a formed habit. Unfortunately I'm already addicted to it. However, the ads do nothing to me: I'm not a 20 or 30 something anymore, and I find ads of "cool people doing cool things" both fake and embarrassing.

(I know Coca Cola is terrible for your health and I keep telling myself I'll just stop drinking it. Maybe some day I will...)
You can do similar things in chess too. Just play your own game until you reach a tricky position where you ask the computer what to do. As long as you don't make massive blunders, you would win more games than you would without a computer. It's a lot harder to get caught for cheating online if you play like that. Playing the exact moves that the computer plays throughout the game is the easiest way to get caught cheating. Also, insert standard statement here about cheating being bad etc.
In Emacs, add (start-server) to your config. Then in your shell rc file:

alias vim='emacsclient -a/usr/bin/vim -nw'

Now if emacs is running you'll get emacs in the terminal when you use the command vim to open a file. If it's not running, vim opens it instead.

Super slick for converts from the vim workflow

You stay inside for 3 weeks and it will literally end the respiratory illness unless there's another reservoir you've failed to account for.

In other words, the illness will die out, unless it doesn't. Here's some practical experience with this approach:

I think most people want to run a business around something they really care about or are excited about, so when you have to run one around something you have zero interest in then I don't see the advantage anymore compared to taking a day job at some company.
They are, they just don't understand it....

I was not doing value judgment, but just an observation
IQ tests correlate with things. Thus it captures more than just how good someone is at the IQ test.

You can say "There is this test, and people's scores on this test correlate with various things like, income, marital fidelity, religiosity, incarceration rates, job performance". We call this test the IQ test.
This is in no way meant to offend you: You thought about it, but you didn't, just like most people do. It's easy to say you would do something, but actually going ahead and doing it and going against the mainstream is a whole other thing entirely. If that's the data point you want to offer, than it seems like it was just supporting my point.

(And who am I to judge, I've resigned to using Github as well...)

Just recently switched to Strava (60€/a) after Endomondo (30€/a) announced it will stop working on 31DEC. So far, so good, but have done only two runs with it. I think they are the only large multi-sport tracker left who is not owned by a sports gear manufacturer. Using Tapiriik[1] to sync the accounts has made the switch less painful.

> I’m not in science, but friends who had colleagues more involved in biological sciences said those fellows were total skeptics that anything like 6-8 months would be possible.

Yes. I have an academic friend in a high-level biotech research role who said a vaccine wouldn't be possible in this timeframe, that we ultimately could only delay the spread but not save people, so to avoid economic harm on top we should let the virus "run its course" and kill however many it's going to kill.

They were wrong.

I'm on Linux now. It randomly breaks but so does Mac so I might as well have a tiling window manager.
BS like this is exactly why I moved away from Mac altogether. My wife's Macbook Air had a similar black screen after upgrading to Sierra. On my Pro, upgrading to Sierra completely messed up Cubase and a bunch of audio plugins, to the point that I had to reverse the upgrade. I still haven't upgraded to Sierra. Shortly after, I moved to Windows and despite its almost weekly updates, nothing has broken this bad on it yetm

You conventionally use fission material to start a thermonuclear bomb, but that wasn't the point at all. On the contrary, it was to highlight the careless neglect of intricacies that the article argues would keep lesser educated terrorist from benefiting from encryption. Wasn't that the point?

My comment was deliberately contrasting having access to Uranium and having a feasible enrichment process. It does not matter if for a dirty bomb, a nuclear bomb or thermonuclear bomb.

The articles argues about lacking education of fundamentalists and it is probably often true. The WTC attack was an exception to this case, but let us assume this premise to hold in the general case, like with my grandma (sic). Fine, some terrorists would fail due to lacking knowledge. If that happens too often I would expect this to change rather quickly.

It also contains other premises: States act according to the law. That is empirically wrong as we know from different whistleblowers how states handled surveillance. We could go back to that argument if we start talking about whether it was the "right thing to do", but I am referring to the premise at hand.

A state is not your mothers tits and I would not want to keep the benefits of encryption from the general population. Maybe you could argue that the EU, the US and some other states could be trusted to have this power, but I simply do not agree.

The argument remains purely subjective forever at this point, but my position would leave the technology accessible for every user and the security benefit is quantitatively higher compared to the terrorist case. I am thinking about every country here with billions of users. We could create some tangible metrics here, but I am confident.

> kills only a fraction of the people every year that asthma does

I could argue that, but that could end in a trap since it could get into ethics and "saving human lives at all costs" that can easily be manipulated. I think in the end it would hold against establishing a huge surveillance mechanism with very likely lacking oversight if I dare to look into the future, but it is another perspective.

I could also argue that the goal of the terrorist isn't just to kill as many people as possible, they primarily want to signal their objections to a certain way of living, but that is also another discussion. Maybe create a forum where they could vent their objections. Some honeypot you could take a look at and just keep them from coming up with any ingenious plan. Worth a shot, much less expensive and you wouldn't have them on their guard.

And you would still have secure encryption. There is real evidence that the possibility of being surveilled changes behavior and we live would again live at mothers tits, sorry , I meant under constant state surveillance that we would incorporate into every form of online exchange. Sounds like cancer.

My brother spends a significant amount of time outdoors (not hunting) and was attacked and seriously injured by a wild animal, with two more attacks by the same species in the same area in the same year, one of which resulted in another hiker's death. A year later my brother was charged by a moose in a different area.

Animal attacks are real, and even when you leave them alone they won't always leave you alone. That said, bear spray is much more effective than a firearm, and has saved my brother's life in the past.
iMessages is e2e encrypted, so I’m not sure what you’re saying here
Something about this doesn't make much sense to me. "Fauci said he's being 'practical' when he says, 'I think if we can get 75 to 80% of the population vaccinated, I think that would be a really good accomplishment.'"

If 75% of the population is vaccinated and the effectiveness is 90%, that ought to drop R0 below one pretty quick.

There seems to be a lot of "mental fatigue" with all these virus measures. Eventually, people are just going to stop complying. At some point, hitting people over the head with regulations is just going to be ineffective. It's already hitting that point even without any vaccinations at all.
COVID deaths yes, but not total deaths, which is what the article is about.
Market value is hypothetically based on present value of future earnings, not immediate value to society. Unless Moderna's business plan is to ransom humanity to extract the most value possible from covid, it should not be surprising that there is more value in a longer term business.

It also says something about the in incentives that drug companies trying to maximize market cap have.

The leaderboard aspects of Strava are the worst part. I like it as a personal training log, and as a way to keep up with friends who are also being fit. The social aspects are really nice, as it's fun to be asked about your run through X over the weekend, or to know who to ask about running routes in a certain park.

It's also a nice nudge to go work out. "I don't have anything on Strava yet this week, I should go for a bike ride over lunch today" is really helpful mentally.
"System-wide VPNs should still tunnel everything, so it's not as much of a security disaster as it sounded like, but I still don't like that. It's my computer, I should be able to firewall whatever I want."

It's extremely difficult to go around it - certainly not by accident ...

> No-one is seriously calling for forced vaccination for corona

There will be de facto mandatory vaccination, to a degree. This is a Canadian news source but read about the companies involved with creating this program (by the way—-it’s not Ticketmaster). It is definitely coming to America and already underway.

No coronavirus vaccine, no entry? Experts say it’s possible in pandemic’s next stage

https://globalnews.ca/news/7457999/ticketmaster-covid19-vacc...

In Europe, mandatory vaccinations do exist in some countries, for both children and adults. Also, in Croatia (which is part of the European Union), if you refuse to have your child vaccinated, it is legally considered to be child abuse. In Croatia, they have school doctors that literally come to the schools with nurses that not only ensure the health of all of the kids, but also have them vaccinated there. Homeschooling is also illegal in Croatia.

> and then help you agree on the smallest possible experiment to take the hill.

in most corporate environments, that wont cut it though... what management wants, and product owners are preassured to deliver, are large wins and overal product milestones, not incremental updates (outside or bug fixes)

> the disconnect between the work being done and "those who pay you."

yes, i think in many places, there is a fundamental tension between the "corporate thinking" and "agile thinking" and without real syncronization of methodologies and culture, any kind of "buy in from management" will usually lead to dysfunction and overall dissapointment

who won't be told no, we have a giant flaming disaster. That would be an example of 'disagree and commit.'

I'm open to the idea that a lockdown would work, and I'm also open to the idea it's not necessary because some subset of restriction is enough, or because we're willing to pay the cost of excess mortality during vaccine development -- the one argument I'm not open to is "but muh freedom."

I'm sorry that reality doesn't always map to the libertarian ideal. Sometimes you have to compromise temporarily for the greater good. For your own greater good. For a net gain in freedom.

Selected models maybe. In general- no. Not more reliable, not just works.

> Sweden did nothing to prevent Covid

This is not true. Sweden limited mass gatherings to 50 people, high schools and universities went to remote learning, large part of white-collar work switched to remote (companies did this voluntarily), and many people voluntarily limited their activities. Also, their sick pay system allows every worker to stay home when they are sick.
100% and most people don't even notice.
>That compounds the material risk of doing these ventures with a social risk

I think part of the issue here is that people may be talking about optimizing different risks. For example, minimizing financial risk may lead to wholly different decisions than, say, minimizing the risk that you will have a fulfilling careers. At times, they may even be orthogonal.

I don't actually think "excellence" is that hard to define. It basically boils down to effectiveness at solving organizational problems (and those may not always be technical in nature). The difficulty is when the problems the individual values doesn't align with what society values. If you can build excellence at a problem highly valued by society, you might be able to have high-status as well. Jonas Salk comes to mind, even though he didn't necessary get financial success.

I personally think the "high prestige" path is followed because there is a clearer template. I couldn't find the excerpt from William Deresiewicz's book, but I remember a quote from a student who was relaying why some from elite colleges struggle upon graduation. The gist was that from kindergarten to college graduation to accepting their first post-graduation job, there was a relatively clear cut template of moving from scholastic excellence, strong extra-curriculars, elite internships, etc. But after graduating and accepting a job at one of the few "prestigious" fields like law, finance, medicine, or consulting. there was no longer a well-defined template and many struggle to know what to do next.
Euromomo draws weekly z-values per country. From graph you can get the data. Data says mean of z-scores for weeks 01-45:

Sweden 2.02
Finland -0.10
Norway -0.26

(notice that mean of z-score per week is not the same z-score for the whole year, as deaths per week have seasonal variance thus are not evenly distributed)

The difference between fruit juice and actual fruit is massive. Volume for starters it’s far easier to overconsume juice than whole fruits.

It’s far harder to go wrong with whole fruits.

But I guess, that's also called, "just working on a boat". I'm sure they'd love the free labor. And you'd go crazy at not being able to return for an extra week if the catch was going good (or really badly) I suppose.
