> If you mean you can't make a show where a character aspires to be a housewife, I'm not sure I understand what the narrative purpose of such a story would be. Becoming a housewife isn't really an aspirational achievement in the way having a prestigious career is, and I don't think it's a story many are really interested in, nor one that would be easy to tell in a manner that doesn't seem forced.

This is not a true statement for many folks out there, and there are plenty of people who can relate to stories of being in the home. I think the best answer is broadening the things that are acceptable to aspire to, not opening one door while simultaneously locking another.
Versioning is mentioned in passing as a design requirement, but not mentioned further on - how does versioning work in a system like this?
I guess I could say I'm "mask skeptical" even though I do wear one to conform to social pressure.

I wish the conversation would move on from "do masks work?" to "do they work well enough to be worth the cost?"

Because I think the costs are being significantly underestimated. We are social creatures. All of the joy has been taken out of routine daily activities. Putting on a mask at the supermarket entrance as if you're about to enter some contaminated danger zone. Being unable to give a friendly smile to people as you pass them. I am 100% sure it's affecting my mental health, and I can't be the only one. In online discussion, these concerns get brushed aside as if they are the complaints of a spoiled child: "stop being a Karen and put a damn mask on..."

I'm not some science denier. It seems logical that a barrier over the mouth and nose must limit how far droplets can travel. As I understand it, empirical evidence also supports this (when the mask is worn by an infected person). There may be some (weak) evidence that masks also protect a non-infected wearer, despite this study.

But the size of the effect can't be that big. Here in the UK mask compliance is high, yet we're well into our second wave. So in the real world, masks can't be doing all that much. (Or, most of the infections are happening in mask-free places such as between family members in the home).

So maybe I'm just another "Karen", but I want more evidence that I'm enduring the costs of mask-wearing for a good reason.

In the meantime, I'll keep wearing my mask because it seems to keep everyone else happy, but I'm continually disappointed by the lack of nuanced discussion about this.
Is what is considered a 'temple' and what is not considered a 'temple' something all laypeople and scholars agree on?

(anecdotally, I've discovered some people have very strong reactions to the word 'temple' being used for certain buildings, and I am curious to know why - haven't figured out why for the people I know yet, but be aware it's not going to be a conflict-free term either)

This is pretty backwards in spirit. If you own the code, there is no reason to let any corporation use you like that. Just change the license to something anti-corporate if you started with too permissive one, it'll make it apply to all the new commits and force such corporations to pay for commercial license or stop using it. If you think they are willing to hire you to work on your project, they are even more willing to just pay for it.

What about 35% of respondents in n=292 (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6930e1.htm?s_cid=mm...)?

"Interviews were conducted 14–21 days after the test date. [...] Among 292 respondents, 94% (274) reported experiencing one or more symptoms at the time of testing; 35% of these symptomatic respondents reported not having returned to their usual state of health by the date of the interview (median = 16 days from testing date), including 26% among those aged 18–34 years, 32% among those aged 35–49 years, and 47% among those aged ≥50 years. Among respondents reporting cough, fatigue, or shortness of breath at the time of testing, 43%, 35%, and 29%, respectively, continued to experience these symptoms at the time of the interview. These findings indicate that COVID-19 can result in prolonged illness even among persons with milder outpatient illness, including young adults."

If you want to wait a lifetime to see if there are any issues you have that choice. But vaccines, even mRNA ones, are unlikely to have any long term effects worse than the disease itself.
Technically wearing a mask helps "protect themselves" by second order effects.

We should never encourage lying or deceiving people (pushing not technically true narratives). This just erodes trust in society.

I agree that it doesn’t justify it, but to be quite clear, the argument isn’t that there are many backgrounds represented but specifically that some of those backgrounds are Christian and they were presumably okay with it. Again, this is terrible logic because one or two Christians don’t speak for the lot.

I don’t know what else you could’ve meant by “the decision was made by someone of a different background” (paraphrased because copy/paste on HN mobile is tedious).

It’s also a matter of relative cost efficacy with reasonable effect sizes. Studies like this begin to empirically place magnitudes into different ballparks.
I actually like the option to have both inferred parameter and return types, primarily because they help in writing code while prototyping quickly with several types.

Once the code is well defined I then start adding the type annotations , often times using the ide tooling to auto generate them.

I think a good balance would be that all published packages should have type annotations added in their source code for clarity while short scripts could do without them.

I'm confused as to why they removed that 7%. Are they or are they not trying to test the effect of advisement? If that really was the goal, then the veracity of replies wouldn't matter, and the study would make sense - but then they also wouldn't have omitted that 7%.
Glad everyone's so quick to pick out the issues with methodology here. Now go back to all the "wear-a-mask" studies and apply the same criticisms.
We have learned a lot about how the human body works. There is no plausible way that there could be something bad: the vaccine breaks down in the way RNA does withing minutes of entering the body. If anything bad happens because of RNA breakdown: you wouldn't have been born as RNA is basic to cell biology and breaks down as part of normal processes all the time.

The first mRNA vaccine went to phase 1 trials more than 10 years, which means we have a few people walking around who got a mRNA vaccine more than 10 years ago - if they got a side effect it wouldn't be noted. The sample size is of course too small, and it was a different vaccine, but there some long term safety data.

Anything is possible. My physics teachers like to point out that all the air in the room can teleport to the moon - but the odds of that are too low to worry about, even on the time frame of the universe.
You’re absolutely right. I’ve edited my comment.
This is another specific scientific communication, of the type that are widely misunderstood. Remember "no evidence that masks reduce transmission" and "no evidence that immunity from COVID will last"? Both were true statements at the time, and widely misunderstood. "No evidence" of X does not mean that X is at all likely to happen, based on our current understanding of disease.

Because of the test design, the test itself only measured people who got COVID. But based on current scientific consensus around disease, that means there is a very high likelihood that it also prevents asymptomatic transmission, as the immune system will generally fight off infection. One test being narrowly worded (as is correct scientific practice) does not overthrow our entire understanding of disease.

I disagree, in fact the history of science and religious institutions dates back to the very beginning of science.

Gregor Mendel, father of modern day Genetics, a Catholic monk. Georges Lemaitre, a Catholic priest who came up with the Big Bang Theory. Look at all the scientific work of the Jesuits, their big research universities, etc. There are countless examples of groundbreaking science coming from religious institutions - and this is just from one world religion that I am most familiar with. Many Islamic and Jewish scholars have also been scientists.

These deeply religious people believe that naturalistic observations can get us closer to the ultimate truth of God. There is no purely empirical argument that can be made to refute that worldview - you must turn to philosophy and contend in that arena.

Yes, wearing a mask doesn't protect you against infection from droplets in your eye. And aerosols tend to shrink a bit through evaporation between when they might be exhaled and someone else inhales them. So there's some asymmetry between masks protecting yourself and protecting other, but it isn't clear how much.
> At the core, both religious people as well as scientific people just want certainty of whatever they believe (also known as 'the truth'). They just go about it in different ways.

There is a tiny difference that you don’t seem to mention. While everyone would like to be right, science people change their views provided with evidence that they are wrong, while religious people don’t, they have dogmas. If someone doesn’t change they only claim to be “scientific people”.

Sure, if science is non-replicable than it can’t and shouldn’t be called science. It bothers me too about social sciences and psychology, but the problem in this disciplines is that objects of their study are extremely complicated.
This is the key fact. Only 2% of the subjects tested antibody-positive at the end of the study (low enough that it's near the false-positive rate of the home antibody tests). The mask group had fewer cases (by PCR, they had zero). But the numbers are too small to say. If you ran the study in the US in the same time period, you would have had a better shot.
Get the right one and they are quite, effective and cost efficient too!

I like designs like these: https://quietcoolsystems.com

It took a couple hours to install, mainly because I went back and forth where to install the intake vent. I had power readily available from a hallway outlet - added a switch above the outlet, carried it up into the attic and to the fan. If you aren't comfortable doing your own wiring that will be the hardest part of installing the fan. The rest is simple - cut a hole in the drywall of your ceiling where you want the intake, mount the insulated box with the insulated dampers that close when the fan is not in use, hang the fan with the proper 90 degree bend in the duct, wire it in and finally snap the grate on and you are done. The only "glitch" I had with my install is I had the fan pointed down a bit too much and my attic has blown in insulation (ugh). The fan ended up blowing a big "hole" in it. So I adjusted the fan, raked the insulation back into place and haven't had an issue since.

My air conditioners each use about 2400 watts each (I have two!), the motor on my whole house fan is around 640 watts. We had an exceptional fall the year I put it in, and it more than paid for itself. And I got the benefits of fresh air. I live in the Mid Atlantic so spring and fall are the biggest time of year I can use it, but this year our summer wasn't too bad with humidity so I used it most of the summer too. It's amazing how much heat you can tolerate if you have a steady breeze.

I highly recommend them! My only complaint is I wish mine had variable speed. There are many times at night it gets way too cold to run at normal speed, but if off the heat of everything in the house will heat the interior back up again without at least some airflow. With the size of my house I need to add a second one anyway to get enough airflow/turn over so I'm thinking about one of their units that has two fans - can run just one for a lower amount of air volume.

One of my best home upgrades, that's for sure!
> Simple unwillingness to accept a direct competitor has already beaten their ass to market and mindshare?

I have not seen any shred of competition suggestion here. But even if there is competition, that should be encouraged - competition is healthy, and it promotes development. Who is to say that Rust has all the good ideas and nobody else can have any good idea ?

You should encourage competition not stiffle it "because somebody else is more advanced"
So there are more already this year - but I reckon a lot more than usually last month, that I’ve seen on HN at any rate.

Yeah so in that universe it's technically possible / lore-able to have Africans in medieval England. It's also technically possible to have neanderthals by the same account yet we don't see any. The problem is, it's not motivated by any story element, only by diversity compliance checkbox-ticking which is definitely not in-universe.
There the tragedy of the commons. You see it in software, where individual teams or people can make decisions that seem overall correct for them but have an overall negative result overall. I've seen this when you have shared components that require core platform updates. One group working for one customer needs a new features without considering the other customer that uses the same platform or may want the same feature but with a slightly different configuration or interface. It adds to technical debt and reduces overall productivity in the long run.

You see this in open source projects too where code gets forked and then it becomes difficult to adopt features from mainline or the other forks etc...

I did not read the article so maybe this was answered. But if the study was to see the effect of the recommendation + small supply of masks, I don't see why the non-compliant 7% would be censored. In one ear and out the other is one possible recommendation outcome.
From the Chinese side, "standing up to them over COVID-19, HK and South China Sea" looks like "promoting baseless conspiracy theories about CoVID-19, meddling in China's domestic affairs and participating in American attempts to contain China."

Australia's foreign policy has a massive contradiction at its heart: China is Australia's most important trading partner, but Australia's closest military ally, the United States, is pursuing an aggressive strategy to suppress China's rise as a peer-level state. Australia has to figure out how to reconcile these two facts, but it can't have its cake and eat it too. It's not possible to go along with American anti-Chinese initiatives while at the same time expecting the economic gravy train of exports to China to continue.

In this context, the decision to call for an investigation into the origins of SARS-CoV-2, heavily hinting at some sort of nefarious origin, was a completely unnecessary blunder. One wonders what the Australian government thought it would get out of that.

> It seems like an mRNA vaccine is more akin to food you consume that produces a desired effect, rather than something permanently sticking around in your body. It doesn't permanently modify your genetics.

This is a really good analogy. It's important to note that this stuff literally has to be stored at cryogenic temperatures just so it won't completely degrade before being injected. Once inside your body, it's completely gone within hours.

If true, that would also mean that the danger of COVID-19 -- while clearly not zero! -- is also about one sixth of what we've thought it was.
It isn't clear that the people in the control group didn't wear masks. Few Danish people were wearing masks then but I'd imagine that people who went and volunteered for this study would be more likely to be the sort of people who would go and get their own masks if they weren't given them.
