Quoting from the link you provided:

"We demonstrated an effectiveness of 51% of BNT162b2 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infection 13-24 days after immunization with the first dose. Immunization with the second dose should be continued to attain the anticipated protection."

I.e. if you take only the first dose of the two required then 13 days after taking it you already get an effectiveness of 50%. Therefore they recommend that people take the 2nd dose as prescribed. They don't mention effectiveness one week after the 2nd shot, which is what Israel considers to be immune (i.e. "green passport" status).
So they’re mad that Facebook did the right thing and created general rules for acceptable content and applied those rules equally, regardless of political background, race, colour and gender?

Facebook can’t be seen as a right or left media, that’s bad for business. They also can’t have groups and users that overly hostile towards other users, that’s also bad business. They are trying to be the Disney of social media.

In general Facebook isn’t great at moderating their platform, there’s to much content and their automated systems are rubbish, according to the human moderators. The result is that the moderation that do happen can seem extremely random, and some may feel like they are unfairly targetted.
You should give yourself more credit, you just haven't practiced enough.

If you spend half an hour straight on throwing practice, you'll get quite good at it.
Comparing USA states to countries is a very common practice of uneducated Americans.
That figure doesn’t pass the smell test. I think you’re confusing the cost of a phase III trial with the total end-to-end cost of developing new drugs.

Injecting 30,000 people twice with a vaccine & tracking their post injection experience does not cost $1billion. (Googles) The FDA thinks a phase III trial costs about $20million. So there you go.
I can’t believe your system allows for something like this to happen.

A private organisation run by non-doctors and non-nurses allowed to administer vaccines? WTF?
I’m working on a website with WCG colors right now, and in practice you’re mostly right: Chrome and related browsers only support sRGB, and will thus only show sRGB colors. In Safari you can opt in to use display-p3 for colors in CSS, and it will display those as WCG and everything else still as sRGB. This looks amazing.

However, there’s Firefox which only supports sRGB, but then displays everything in WCG completely over saturating every single colored pixel on a website [1]. The only way to get your website to look the way you intended it on Firefox is to make the whole thing black and white.

>Pfizer wouldn’t be allowed to produce anything.

Pfizer wouldn’t be allowed to stop producing anything.
It's been a few years since this was published, but I hope OP is still proud of the derivation even after the footnote discovery at the end.

One thing I don't understand is where the introduction of "triangles" comes in. Is that a standard approach from some area of geometry, or is it a characteristic of the applied field of rasterization?

Also, OP should have a included at least one joke :-)
I'm always surprised their aren't more US schools that are just academics. They all seem to have football teams and sports stadiums and up market dorms.

I went to Exeter. I picked the cheapest accommodation. I was more than happy with the on site sports centre. I wouldn't want to pay double for gold taps and an arena.

I think it would be interesting to see how places fared if tuition was linked to rankings. Top 10 can charge full wack, Next 10 80%, etc. But that would force people to make hard decisions...
And without search-on-type, you have these two in Firefox:

• / enters “quick find” mode, which is roughly the same as Ctrl+F/⌘F, just it’ll close the search bar automatically a short time after you stop interacting with it.

• ' enters “quick find (links only)” mode, meaning it searches only within link text.
What is the calculated value? Is it even tractable to calculate it?
It's about accessibility, not productivity.

A guy living in Japan who is not Japanese is greatly discriminated against, much worse relatively than black people in USA. However if said guy goes around in Japan beating up Japanese people I'd still say he was an insecure racist even though all institutions are against him.
There aren't that many hurdles.

1. You download the apk

2. When you try to install it, it tells you it's from an unknown source and the installation was blocked to protect you

3. You tap "settings" and flip a switch to allow installing apps from your browser

4. You go back and tap "install". That's it. It's done. And you won't need to go to the settings the next time, it'll just work.
> the proprietary algorithms of YouTube are designed to addict me to music

Seems to me the interests of the user and the provider are pretty well aligned here. A good recommendation engine lets the user enjoy more music, and keeps the provider in business. I don't mean to sound unsympathetic here, but addiction isn't a common issue with music streaming. There's a reason it isn't regulated the way online casinos are.

> Dead trees and Emacs org-mode are both resilient against data loss

Dead trees are not resilient against data loss. They're clumsy to duplicate and are easily lost or destroyed. Emacs is just a text editor. There are plenty of relatively bug-free text editors, both Free and non-Free.

Again though, I support Free Software, but don't see how these examples illustrate issues of power and control.
I don't think a free market would help that much.

It would have been better if they'd just actually made "tuition fees" an actual proper graduation tax, rather than a tax for the poor and a loan for the rich.
No, you can use hinting links and clickable links, but not with text selection.

qutebrowser has offered caret mode for a while, but without the hinting. You have to select some text with a search to initiate.

This is a new development in pointer-less and keyboard-driven browsing.

Also, the experience of a Chrome extension is pathetic compared to that of a browser where keyboard is first-class. With Chrome, even things like closing a tab or opening a new tab are inaccessible until the browser has parsed a page, the DOM has loaded, and the extension has injected and then run the JS into the page. (Which also means that you can't use it without also allowing JS in all pages you browse.)
I guess at some point Google will close the F-Droid loophole in Android and only allow installations through the Playstore anymore. You know, for security reasons... winkwink

Maybe the real reason will be pressure from the government to hurt the ones like Huawei a little more, maybe it will be the need to squeeze more money, or maybe the need for censorship because those evil alternative app-platforms allow whatever unwanted stuff.
The same reason that software is outdated in many GNU/Linux repositories. F-droid is a repository that builds all software from source on a different schedule than every individual application developer, the google play store is just a platform where the application developer uploads the binary.
My understanding is, that the Universit of Oxford insisted on the non-profit model as part of their IP-liscensing agreement with AZ. So same prizes for everyone as far as AZ is concerned. The EU plan is to buy more than needed and share it with other ountries in need. There are even contractual stipulations in the AZ-EU contract covering that.
Game engines are eating the world: real-time animation
Yeah, back in the days I was in the demoscene, coding for fun. 25 years later, I started coding demos, on Apple 2 (yep, that old machine I had when I was kind). You can call it nostalgia, but hey, that's coding for fun, pushing the machine to the limit, taking time to optimize for speed or memory instead of customer's satisfaction. Plus you get to meet other passionnated people, like before.

So yeah, it's somewhat "going back", but at least, I can express creativity in some unbounded ways. Plus, I code my dream, not the dream of the company which is paying me :-)
I take a completely opposite view. If I get stuck on something, I go straight to StackOverflow etc to ask for a solution or at least get more information. Then, I can keep tinkering myself or switch to a completely different task. I am far more productive when I leverage The Hive Mind.

Plus, these questions give me a great reference for next year when I am doing something similar but have forgotten the details.

This approach probably works well because I know how things work at a high level; I think it would be disastrous to do this without any real understanding.
This style of documentation is called literate programming, and you should go and google about this term and the various implementations for various widespread programming languages if you never heard of this before. It's an eye-opener how clear, transparent and well-intertwined good code and comments can be.

I've used such a literate programming style with scientific python once in university classes and it was a breeze to prepare and hand in exercise sheets (rendered with Latex to PDF). My feeling was that today people use Jupyter/IPython notebook to archieve something similar (especially with embedding results), but a jupyter notebook is much more complex than a traditional, clean and terminal-readable literate programming source code.
thats the spirit, "my thing is important, yours is just rubbish and should be done away with"
> Sounds like they are planning on having the community take over responsibility for XQuartz.

Either that, or they realised that it would be literally impossible to build it on Apple Silicon, if the hand holding became not possible and the internal tools not available.
Sadly it's the same in software these days. I've seen places where the business teams outnumber the development teams. It's such a clusterfuck with everyone trying to steer the direction their way, when only so much can be built. Of course, when it comes to hiring more devs, "we don't have the budget for it".
What a great comment! The approach is very Musk top-to-bottom. You win by being the lightning rod.
Well, do they abide to Chesterton's fence by themselves? [1]

For me it is often a question of what I am looking for.

If I quickly need to know how to get the last item of a list in yet-another-language, Stack Overflow will provide me an answer in about 2 seconds.

The documentation will certainly provide the answer too, but I'll need to look at several places etc., since the format is just not optimized to answer exactly this question fast.
Universities have been centers of protest for a long time, and extracurricular stuff has always been a major component of what attracts students. I don’t really see much connection between this and the closing of the maths department at the University of Leicester. Students these days are very career focused, and research is funded based on “impact”. These are the driving forces. The image of the student who cares more about radical politics than learning anything or finding a job is from the 1960s, not the 2020s.

I’ve been in plenty of meetings where we tried to make students happier, and I can assure you that it’s all by boring means such as inflating grades and reducing workloads (and indeed by more worthy and less cynical means from time to time). Politics on campus gets a lot of press coverage, but it’s a marginal issue in terms of student satisfaction.
I'm sure the content is good but it is difficult to read with all the grammatical errors.

As others have noted, there is a distinct lack of technical details.
I think it was also a law of large numbers game. With teamwork we'd all be throwing rocks simultaneously at the same target. Also the practice component that the other poster mentioned
Quick question: is there a particular reason why the table and the other elements aren't centered in the browser by default? Even this site seems to do that to some degree, which improves the usability at least somewhat.

AFAIK that would require just a text-align rule for the title and margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto; for the table, which seems a bit more readable on wide screens.

.NET is the kind of stack I can come back to after years of not using it and fit right back in without googling. Even a 10 year old book would still be mostly relevant.
I'm not sure the workout analogy really helps. Our body is really good at optimizing movements you do often enough. Do enough push ups, at some point you will become very good at pushing things, do not expect to be good at pulling though. Run 1 km everyday and you will become a great short distance runner, try to run a marathon and you will miserably fail to finish it. Sure, you will get cardio benefits and get healthier overall for the first months, but once the newbie gains stop, training specific skills won't generalize to general ones.

Does education work in a similar fashion? does being very good at solving very specific timed algorithm problems at a whiteboard translate to being a good software engineer overall? If that's all you trained for, you will be just very good at that.
What does “open source” mean in 2021?
I fully agree. It turns out that there are long-term costs to giving 18 year olds everything they think that they want for your short-term financial gain.
You're mixing up two different datasets. The former deals with first dose effectiveness (which we've always known to be lower - that's why the regiment is two doses), the latter with the full two dose regiment.

Ynet is Yediot, which is either the biggest daily newspaper or the second-biggest depending on how you count, either way it has more influence than Yisrael-Hayom. They do neglect their English site, but this particular content matches their Hebrew publication. It can't be seriously compared to USA Today (which is one of those magazine you mainly get for free, and barely has any dedicated readership).
The EU is 3x worse than the US, 4-5x worse than the UK and about 20x worse than Israel. It's one of the few - maybe the only - developed "countries" that has both a record number of cases and low vaccination rates. How is that not bad?

A lot of pro-EU people refuse to blame to commission because they see it, justly, as a vindication of the Brits who warned of the EU bureaucracy when they left. But IMO, being pro-EU starts by naming the problems in the commission so that they can be fixed.

In the case of health care, it’s apt because the federal government cannot force states to take actions.

They can only issue guidelines.

Well, both sides were extremely surprised that the invasion of France worked ot the way it did. The French, The British and the Germans as well. Becaue by all acounts, it shouldn't have worked.

IMHO, Germany lost the war in late 1941 when they failed to knock out the USSR. The same way the lost WW 1 already in 1915 when they failed to knock out France on the continent. After 1941, Germany had no clear path to victory anymore in a global, industrial war of attrition. And the fate was sealed with the US entering the war. And sill, millions more of people had to die until it was over.
The use case is all the situations where a mouse is not available. You already discovered several, and you're only scratching the surface.

The truth is that you cannot predict all the scenarios and possibilities out there, no matter how hard you try, and it is naive and arrogant to pretend that you can.

For me personally, mouse use comes with a huge ergonomic hit, and results in discomfort and pain.

Keyboard browsing (I use qutebrowser) is also much faster and more efficient once I've conquered the week-long learning curve.

Keyboard support also has a long history in browsers, with Opera 4.x being one of the pioneers of one-key shortcuts, though not vi-style.
Yes. I think I was clear enough that I'm speaking in relatives, not absolutes.

Apple's size, platform positioning and the fundamental microeconomics of Apple's markets all drives towards "competition for monopoly," to use the term of art. They're not above customer lock ins, closed ecosystems. They're not above creating little tyrannical kingdoms... Apple may become a Facebook (ar amazon/google) eventually, but atm they are not.. and the opportunities have been many.

Apple still, essentially, makes new products and hopes people like them enough to overpay for it. They actually exposed themselves to risk of failure if new products aren't good/popular enough. Who does that?

One or two Windows Vista level failures could kill Apple. There is no guaranteed income for macs or iphones in 2022. Facebook, Google, MSFT. even amazon... the quality of their work does not pose a risk of failure in the medium term. Google's user base is protected by default. They own android, and pay for iphone defaults. Own youtube, your emails. The search data. On the customer side, they have a (recognised by courts) monopoly. Search advertising is non-optional for many, many businesses. Adwords is the only seller.

For a (old) counterexample, think of rss podcasts. Apple named it, popularized it, dealt with a bullshit one-click-like patent claim on subscription audio as a whole. Meanwhile, Apple never tried to dominate, close, or "own" podcasting. Podcast today is the only free, popular medium.

Currently, Spotify's is literally trying to buy up all the top podcasts just to exclude them from the open protocol. The aim, naturally, is to own podcasting.. at which point they can force all the little guys to give them content for free and on their terms.

Podcasters, they think, are totally disunited, unlike recording artists. That means once spotify has market share, they can dictate terms like youtube does for video. I bet they already have a cute name for podcasters picked out. Vloggers are called "youtubers." Maybe podcasters will be "spotters." Has a nice ring to it.

I'm not calling them angels. Half of it is probably being boomer and being slow to adapt to modern ways. That said, if you compare Apple core business models to the other guys...
Do you have a hosted version of that source code somewhere? I have been thinking about doing this with my own keyboard at some point.

Vaccination is not the only way available to stop the spreading of the virus:

- Keep social distancing
- Avoid friends and familiar reunions
- Wash your hands frequently
- Wear a mask
- Be careful

The top 5 places with most coronavirus deaths are:

1. USA
2. Brazil
3. Mexico
4. India
5. UK

None of these are in the EU.

How would a model-specific driver for something that speaks NVMe even work? Is it for Linux? Is it open? Is it just modifications to the stock Linux NVMe driver that take some drive specifics into account? Or is it some stupid proprietary NVMe stack?
UK just wanted to stop funding EU students, since EU disallowed paying for your own students and not others. The problem is that English universities are inherently more attractive so UK has way more EU students than EU had UK students making UK support a disproportionally large number of students.

Most people are reactive, not proactive.

Proactive people look at the big picture, search for facts instead of opinions, watch for trends in data and make decisions based on those.

Reactive people just go with the flow until some big event happens, then maybe sometimes things change.

Remember, civilization needs constant effort to maintain so by default things are getting slightly worse over time. If there's enough proactive people for upkeep, it stays the same or even gets better. If not, things keep getting worse until something sufficiently bad happens, then outrage follows and reactive people spring into action - e.g. protests or outright revolutions depending on how bad things were allowed to become.

When things are good (or at least good enough) for a long time, less and less people see the need to be proactive...

It's mainly that I just prefer programming in assembler on the 8080/8085 - it's easier to fit the instruction set neatly in my head. The 8085 is also much easier to emulate and I like the ease of interfacing it with hardware. This preference tends to colour everything I do on CP/M.
Well... maybe not. What the EU suspects is that vaccine that was produced in the EU with EU money was shipped to the UK in December. I have read that even until last week shipments went from the EU to the UK.

If so, AZ and/or the UK government are actively cheating the EU. Is it true? I guess time will tell.

The thing about compression is wrong. "HDR photography" compresess for the eyes (let's simplify and leave the brain out), it has nothing to do with displays. If a part of a photo is too dark, the details will be clipped out for your eyes, no matter how much bits they will be encoded with - it will be just too dark.

In reality eyes can adjust the "exposure" on the fly because they recieve all the needed information always. But in a displayed digital image this information is already lost - eyes don't recieve all these bits, the display doesn't send them.

In the editor you can adjust the "exposure" for the RAW files too - they have the needed information - but! - it is not a static image, because you are adjusting it, you are sending continuously different information to the eyes.
