What was long about it? It only months instead of years, and for mRNA vaccines this whole time was spent on the validation and approval process while the vaccine design itself took only about ~2 days right after SARS-CoV-2 was sequenced.

From https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/12/moderna-covid-19-vac...:

> "Moderna’s mRNA-1273, which reported a 94.5 percent efficacy rate on November 16, had been designed by January 13. This was just two days after the genetic sequence had been made public"
I can't wait! I love communism. So much death and suffering, it's better to live through it than to repeatedly read about in the books. I mean, they never did it properly and I am certain we'll do it right this time.
It really can't run Wireguard beautifully. I have one and it's the reason why I'm now running Wireguard on a Raspberry Pi 2.
The barriers to employing people are very high there; they have secured jobs for the elderly at the cost of jobs for the young.

There is no 'sufficient' quantity of services for a given population, there is always demand for more industrially manufactured goods, personal services, or artisinal wares.

I’d be really curious to know why your fact-based comment is downvoted.
I think that's a bit of a simplification of the debate.

For example, You can believe that structural inequality is real and very bad while still holding academic freedom and freedom of speech as more important (its not like they are even conflicting views. Entrenched power structures hinder the abilities of the descriminated to effectively exercise their freedoms). Or you can believe that there are power structures (invisble and visible) that reenforce inequity, but blindly tearing them down in a revolutionary fashion will just replace them with an even worse systems, just like how in politics most revolutions against oppression result in a new government that is even more oppressive. I'm sure there are even more views then that.
This is a great reply.

A nondev should likely stick to the first group, which has a lot of integrations and the hardest coding will be around excel formulas at most

In my experience its best to do the following:

Have 1 dashboard specific to business finance and ads metrics. This dashboard includes klipfolio or simpler things like grow or fathom accounting.

Another tool connected to your bd, at the most basic starting with mode Analytics and then going full visual with looker or tableau (this is where things get expensive)
This is a danger, although the cloud is still just VMs and networks that still need configuring and patching. Agreed people who would run physical hardware would be gone.
I agree.

I have an idea similar to this (in many way Agoria has improved upon my idea, mostly in the fact it actually exists)

Something I spent time thinking about is adding metadata around relationships between nodes. In keeping with the KISS philosophy of markdown it's difficult to capture that without adding some messy syntax.

On the whole, I think OP is onto something. Though heavily geared towards those of the technical community.
Data visualization for enterprise backends holding TB of data is also a difficult and interesting problem.

Just like having a database holding DNA data that a robot in a chemical lab needs to get hold of in less than X ms for the planning software not to go astray when locating where to get the plate from.

It is a matter to look for challenges.

Thanks to demoscene and early industry contacts I have seen the other side of the garden, and decided it wasn't that green after all.
It is not old understood technology. This approach is nearly as new and novel as the RNA vaccines.

Appsmith would work great! It’s an open source project with cloud hosting and self-hosting options. You can query any REST endpoint and use JS to aggregate the outputs to connect it to charts, tables or text components. Also use JS to change the query params when you use date or search filters.

What issues do you have with Apple maps? I started using it a few months ago and haven't even bothered to install google maps. The only things I have seen lacking is traffic data which I don't really care about and street view which I just use the web version for.
A state job guarantee (everyone who wants a minimum wage job can get one), with or without the rest of the MMT package, would:

1) Be less repulsive to those who think that salaried work is virtuous in itself.
2) Not discourage work (people would still need to do something)

These "jobs" could include any activity that is good for the person and/or society, like taking care of old/dependent people, studying, working for a non-profit, even looking for private employment, depending on the needs of the state.

(Of course, if the person does not show up for work, then they get the pay docked)

UBI would be ideal, but job guarantee might be a less radical approximation.
An issue that I basically never see come up is - why not administer the vaccine earlier on (pre-approval) to the most vulnerable? if P(death|vaccine) < P(death|covid) then it seems really barbaric not to give it. Many dead people now could be alive had that been done (and mRNA candidates were apparently available extremely early on).

The Oxford vaccine is a more classical one so wasn't available quite as early, but apparently the mRNA ones were developed in a very short space of time (weeks - months) and future development could cut that even further (and preemptive vaccines for potential pandemic-causing viruses could be kept in stock) - perhaps introducing a Bayesian triage pre-approval could be an important strategy in fighting viruses in the future?

In any case this and the mRNA vaccines are really tremendous achievements and somewhat restores my faith in humanity after a terrible year...
Thanks a lot for the encouraging comments! I have addressed some of your points below.

1. It looks like it wasn't a good idea to use Pinterest as an example link, haha. I think Pinterest is mostly a social network for discovering interesting links from the web, this is more of a tool that people would use to share important links with each other, instead of messaging apps (which is how most people I know share links with each other).

2. Hmmm, I've got mixed feedback on that, but I think the best thing to do would be to change it to white with maybe black or red text in the foreground.

3. You're right, the bookmark icon is for further filtering, something you'd use if you're browsing someone else's board and like a particular link you'd want to read later.

If you don't mind answering a question of my own, do you think you'd actually find a use for this and actively use it?

Thanks a ton for all of your feedback!
Why not just run the thing (which takes some small fraction of time), then pad to five seconds, and respond. Since your work will be done in milliseconds, padding to nearest five seconds will remove any noise.

And it's not a thing anyone has a legitimate interest in submitting more than that per second.

Utter nonsense. The community of Voat, as well as other far right/alt-right online communities, are hateful and wrong. If a group is intolerant of an unchangeable characteristic of another group (esp. race, socio-religious background, etc.), then it is hateful group to be opposed by free society.
Stop spreading lies. No official source have EVER said they where trying to achieve herd immunity, they have only denied it.
I picked plotly in 2019 to build kind of a low-code-dashboarding at my company and got to look into it again few weeks ago, noticing there in fact is an aggregation capability.
I'm totally unfamiliar with the subject matter, but my impression is that you've got something potentially very valuable here. The domain name is amazing, and the site design looks great. I imagine it's a crowded space, but I hope you don't give up. Good luck in finding collaborators - with right marketing, maybe a re-think of the concept, I think the project can go somewhere.
Don't forget that the BioNTech/moderna trials weren't really comparable - they relied on self-reported symptoms to trigger checks for infection. That is likely to lead to a higher apparent efficacy at the same underlyng efficacy.

By now it's clear that for all three vaccines regardless of the exact efficacy of the vaccine, the chances of getting a severe case is greatly diminished. It's at least plausible that getting a vaccine reducings the severity of an infection in general; specifically that it might push what would otherwise have been a mild case into the asymptomatic (but infected) category. I don't know how large that group is, but given how many mild cases there are, it could be quite sizable. And those cases would not have been included in moderna and biontech/pfizer's efficacy numbers, but would have been included in the oxford/AZ trial's numbers.

So while I'm no expert in any of this, I think it's at least fair to say that it's not trivial to compare the efficacies reported from the two mRNA vaccines to that of the oxford/AZ vaccine, because of this difference in methodology. Including vs. mostly excluding asymptomatic cases will affect the numbers.

The point being? All of these trials have their limitations; the oxford/AZ trials may have had bumps (but nothing all that serious sounding), but they also have extra data in the form of asymptomatic cases. The comparison isn't straightforward.
So if you were to write an OCR software today, you would just feed a neural network with a whole raw phone image shot of a floppy paper? Or would you try to flatten the image first, then extract words and letters and then synthesize that back to a bigger model (also using NN) that finally produces your text?

Did you actually read my replies above? I quote myself:

Librem 5 GNU/Linux phone has a lifetime support with updates.

The operating system is PureOS (Debian derivative). All necessary patches are upstreamed.
We figured it by seeing the cells they were typically connected to when we knew for sure that they were in a specific part of town. So trial and error basically.
Google doesn't use Android phone location data as effectively as they could for privacy reasons. Tracking people's location in aggregate to make decisions about which roads are usable at which speeds is okay, but as soon as you get to the levels of "only one guy went along this road in 2020, should we mark it as private", it becomes a privacy issue.

It's a privacy issue to use that kind of data, because the employees who build the map shouldn't be looking at one guys GPS traces. So instead the traces are cut into tiny chunks and aggregated and only shown where there are more than 50 people at the same spot. That effectively means there is no data available to make decisions on the most rarely used roads.
Drone720X Reviews: Best Pocket Drone –| Is Real or a Scam?
It is quite a while past when robots were held for solely military use. For a very long time at this point, it has been conceivable to purchase these flying gadgets on the web and in specific shops. Quadcopters, some of which fit in the palm of one hand, for example, the Drone720X. A smaller than normal robot outfitted with a HD camera which we offer you the test today. In-flight execution, camera quality and battery life are generally focuses that we will cover. Click here to order Drone720X in your city official website: https://iexponet.com/drone720x/
Long live C!
This is not a surprise.

It takes 2 weeks before the first dose is effective, and 3 weeks after the first dose, a second dose is required to boost the efficacy. It’s 2 weeks after the second dose that the vaccine takes about 95% efficacy.

Here is the Swedish COVID death toll per million plotted against comparable countries in Northern Europe. Sweden is a clear outlier, and there is little debate that their lax strategy was the reason.

What are you suggesting exactly? That old people with medical issues are quarantined in empty hotels? So we can protect the civil liberties of those who are less vulnerable?

It's just a petition. If it succeeds, the only thing EU has to do is to discuss it, and these things can be discussed.

Personally, I would like UBI to be tied to GDP per capita, like say 10% of the GDP would be redistributed to every person. It would help to solve the wealth and income inequality problem that causes huge misallocation of resources (for example, EU has twice as many empty apartments than it has homeless people).

IMHO, it is generally better than welfare because it is less overhead and less patronizing. It should replace a portion of existing welfare system. (Things like pensions are often considered welfare but they are really not.)
I feel like we’re watching a medical ethics textbook unfold in real time. When the cold judgement of impartial history books come out, it will be interesting to read about. I also am wondering about the mindset of people getting a 60% vaccine. Maybe they will expand access to it to younger front line workers, who know they would have to wait really long for the mRNA version

Matt Hancock, secretary of state for department of health and social care: "It is absolutely clear that because we’ve left the EU I was able to change the law so that the UK alone could make this authorisation decision. So because we’ve left the EU, we’ve been able to move faster."

See also Jacob monumental fucking bellend Rees-Mogg and Nadine Dorries who made similar claims.
Its a pretty hard problem. Businesses typically only list their opening hours on the door and then those are prone to change without notice. Planned to go somewhere for lunch and needed to check in to a train station in an hour, turns out the lunch place decided today they open half an hour late so I had to quickly rush somewhere else.

If google could deploy that tech demo that calls a business on public holidays to check if they are open, that would be amazing.
The data pipelines for maps can be very long - certain changes might take 6 months or more to be applied, because the computation required to rebuild certain things is massive, and it isn't worth doing simply because some street edge moved by a few centimeters.
Obviously no one is freezing the vials after they've been opened. Not sure why OP suggested that...
>Google maps was removed from the Apple store

They actually removed it entirely? You couldn't install google maps in any way?
> An issue that I basically never see come up is - why not administer the vaccine earlier on (pre-approval) to the most vulnerable? if P(death|vaccine) < P(death|covid) then it seems really barbaric not to give it.

Not sure, but I would think it comes down to hospitals not being overrun in the case of a widescale negative response to the vaccine. But since the whole thing is a game of probabilities, I do share your view.
A Soft Manifesto – The Creative Independent
Given the pace, and the lack of years-long trials, they perhaps brought in a lot of additional people to help analyse the methodology and data.
Decade after decade education in Spain has been attacked, reducing the amount of hours spent on basic subjects (check OECD stats), and allowing 17 different education systems to appease nationalists. This meant the bar had to be lowered, which affected college output.

Spain has also absolute and radical aversion to the private enterprise collaborating with universities, meaning that research is poor and underfunded.

Barriers to entrepeneurship are high, both in the form of red tape, and taxes.

Spain has, at any point in space and time, AT LEAST 3 bloated and redundant administrative layers: local, Comunidades, central state, with some areas having more (e.g. cabildos, diputaciones). More red tape, more redunancy, more pensions and benefits. This means more taxes.

Like in the US, Spaniards have massively invested, with money they didn't have, in real state. Unlike in the US, though, Spaniards have been convinced any private property other than housing is useless, or plain evil, so there's ZERO equities culture, other than those having the 401k equivalent. Major Spanish corporations are less owned by Spaniards, compared to other countries like the US.

And all these UBI equivent measures just feed into the same narrative: the State will feed you, no need to innovate, no need to work hard, and if you want to thrive, affiliate to a major party.

The country lacks affordable housing

See above: high taxes (e.g. IBI, property taxes), plus housing being the only true value reserve, inflate the prices.

@anandchowdhary Can you explain the security implications of using Upptime?

Does it need a token to access all of the user's GitHub repos?

That's a little worrying because the code does not reside in the git repo it's fetched from third-party repos by the GitHub Action. Does this mean the user has no way of auditing and locking down the code to prevent future compromises to third-party repos?

If yes, then an attacker that compromises Upptime or one of the third-party GitHub Actions could hijack all of the users repos (including non-Upptime repos owned by the users).
Pretty much every microSD card has had an ARM cpu core in it since forever.

The Bluetooth radio chip in your phone and the RF chip in your car's key fob already have multicore CPUs inside.

Even your optical mouse has a multicore CPU in it to handle image processing and translate the optical feed into motion packaged into USB HID frames.

Your fast phone charger has a CPU in it to monitor and negociate power delivery to not burn down your house.

Even your basic budget electric toothbrush has a 4-bit CPU inside it made by Swatch.

CPUs cores are in everything these days [happy NSA noises]
We should have been doing challenge trials from the start. Hundreds of thousands of lives if not more could have been saved, and people of sound mind could have decided for themselves if they want to participate and accept the risk. I know I would have.
You mean the CEO of Pfizer? He’s faaaar from being the creator of this vaccine, that was created by scientists in Germany, who were unrelated to Pfizer at the time.
I don't think the outcome is very interesting. There are all ready subgroups in society who have some kind of UBI like pensioners and trust fund babies.

I want so see the effects on the total economy. If for example UBI leads to massive inflation it would completely nullify the UBI.

How about productivity? Saudi Arabia is an interesting example, since their economy pretty much runs on free oil money. Saudi nationals are notorious for having bad work ethics, and they have to import foreign workers to run the economy.

I personally don't believe in UBI, but I'm willing to change my mind if proven wrong, as long as my own country is not part of the experiment.

I'm sorry, but their market cap is like 10x in the past decade. Their revenue streams are different now, yes, but they recognized they'd lost the platform with the SaaSification of most things and they wisely moved into other areas. Yes, they could have tried something else that kept them as the winners of the OS game, but vertical integration wasn't really in their bloodstream. Platforming and services were.
You may still be right. We will know in 2 weeks
Thinking about this some more, there may even be an advantage: The virus also mutates, so some error mRNAs may actually confer additional immunity to future or current virus strains. In reality there are probably way to few errors for this to make a difference...

Deaths are also a lagging indicator. This happened in the first wave too.
that 62% number is for symptomatic cases, I think it was around 50% for asymptomatic cases - the different efficacy-rates are fairly comparable
This is good news for the UK. However I lack any confidence that the british government will be able to roll this out at any sort of speed.

The government has had almost a year to plan for the rollout. Obviously there are some different logisitics for storing the various vaccines, however the last mile infra is exactly the same.

There is a plan to train 30k st johns ambulance volunteers, however if they want a smooth rollout, they should have been trained already. This hasn't happened yet.

Getting the jabs in the people is only part of the problem, the jab needs to be prescribed, but doctor time is rare (as they are all being hoovered up to provide 45% extra intensive care beds)

Not only that, after the jab, you need to watch the patient for anaphylactic shock. This requires nurses, again very much lacking in numbers.
