Vitamin D levels have been shown to be negatively correlated with the really bad effects of the Covid-19 disease. In one study, there was a stark difference between those who had less than 20 ng/mL serum levels, and those who had more. There are many studies which corroborate this, generally.

There was another study that showed that taking 5000 IU or 10000 IU would result in levels well below 210 ng/ml in average people, which is around the level where we'd expect side effects. This is not medical advice. I am not a doctor, just a random guy on the Internet. However, I take 5000 IU daily, and I intend to raise this to 10000 IU when I get vaccine doses. Again, this is not medical advice. Look up the studies yourself, and do your own research.

EDIT: negatively correlated

First thing I do when opening a Word document at work is converting it to PDF and reopen it in Sumatra Reader.

It just feels a lot better to me. It opens faster, it opens at the position I left it at, zooming in and out is fast, scrolling is smoother, and even if I wanted to, I couldn't modify it on accident.

It just feels a lot more reified than something that is responsive or editable.

Not great for mobile, but that's not what I care for at work.

It doesn't work like that alas - the AZ thrombosis is a pretty serious condition and the best theory we have right now suggests it can't be just treated with an aspirin.
I recommend the Meyerowitz-Katz and Merone survey of IFR [1] over Ioannidis. The tl;dr is an IFR estimate 0.68%. Consensus in the epidemiology community is that Ioannidis has become a politicized hack, consistently pushing lowball estimates.

Of course, your argument is still valid even with the lower estimate, I just think it becomes more complicated. Unfortunately, this case is quite a bit more complicated because COVID fatalities are heavily weighted to older ages, while this purported VIPIT is appearing largely in younger, otherwise healthy people.

Congrats on the raise! Did you guys use any particular software / resource to make this look pretty, or was it built internally by your design teams?
Yeah sure. And try to rename a file while it‘s preview loads. Does not work, the flow will break. Sometimes it will just not rename the file. Sometimes it will block the UI as long as the preview is not loaded.

I would never set preview on Windows to the same level as preview on OS X. Because the one on Windows as just not as good.
This is why I call for zero-knowledge information exchange, decentralization, and genuine end-to-end encryption. The most secure data is data you don't have, and any company which claims to store data "securely" is grossly irresponsible. Even the world's largest tech companies with access to truly staggering engineering budgets can and will leak your data. It's not if: it's when.

We need to regulate this.
Yes, that would be actual operator overloading.

Personally, I've always wanted languages to be stricter about that kind of thing. It's not that hard to explicitly express the desired conversions to make the types on both sides of your binary math operators the same and it feels a lot more "controlled" to me to do so.

That's the entire thing about ideology - you don't do it consciously, for most people the dominant ideology is the unknown knowns.

Video games are art. Adding crime in the way it was implemented is an artistic decision. Making crime dependent on policing instead of other, more realistic factors is also an artistic decision (and it's not true that police is the only way to handle crime from a gameplay perspective either). Balancing what exactly the sims are concerned about is also an artistic decisions.

Artistic decisions, especially when they seem obvious, are often ideologically motivated without someone even realising it, and this is both what the writer of Polygon was touching on as well as explicitly on of the things the author of Magnasantis was targetting.

> she's in apartment 349 which is on the third floor. Very hard to imagine off gassing from the ground creates hazardous conditions three floors up.

I don't know enough about VOCs in this context, however, I do know radon problems fairly well and with radon gases released by radioactive decay underground find their way into peoples' basements.

From there, they don't stay in basements. If they did, the risk to humans would be more mild. Instead, the radon gases migrate upward in the building towards the attic exposing everyone in the living quarters along the way.

Attic design is critical to how the radon flows in a house. You could actually increase the amount of radon that flows into a house by having too much attic ventilation along the roof peak. The ideal way to minimize radon involves low-roofline ventilation of the attic combined with trying to seal the basement floor of cracks/holes/etc.

*If* VOCs travel like radon, it would actually make sense that the higher floors will be more affected.
I've been obsessed with dynamicity and having everything adaptable.. but yeah static stuff have this weird feeling of 'right'.
This is reportedly a side-effect of FDA guidelines and how drug studies are conducted. FDA guidelines asked drug companies to list "all possible side effects", which meant that if a single study participant had a bad meal while taking the experimental drug, and suffered diarrhea as a result of the bad meal, then diarrhea became a possible side effect of taking the drug.

The FDA adjusted their guidelines in 2015 in response to this (https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-confusing-drug-ad...).

The difficulty there is if you believe your home is making you sick, you’re quite likely to feel more at ease and sleep better in another place. Or you’re sleeping away from all your new furnishings and the building materials which are off-gassing.

So, you get a datapoint that’s better, but what do you do with it?
Nice project, although I have question I would appreciate someone can answer.
How does in real world "right to forget" works. What is confusing part for me that data that identify you are also required for the business, so how do you draw line what can be forgotten and what cannot. Let say I use some service, then I violate policies of that company, then I exercise my "right to forget", and after they delete my data I sign up again and repeat the entire thing?
Second, how does that work in regards to book keeping and tax policies, where you are required to have data about your clients?
I don't have the table but the conclusion of the relevant authorities in the EU is basically that the risk of the vaccine-induced mortality is at least comparable to the risk of COVID19-mortality for younger women under 60 specifically. Norway saw an incidence vaccine induced serious side effects of 1:25k in younger women. It's unclear if the gender bias is due to the bias in the vaccinated group of HC workers.
IIRC no one in either arm of that study had a serious case. The study was nearly useless.
General Average
"General Average is a principle of maritime law born out of the idea that the shipper and the vessel owner are entering into a joint business venture, and that if it weren’t for the shipper’s cargo, the vessel would not be sailing on its (at times dangerous) voyage.

General Average dictates that in the event that an intentional sacrifice is made for the safety of the individuals and cargo on board the vessel, all parties involved with the ocean voyage will proportionally share in the losses of the cargo and the ship. All parties involved must share the cost of any losses caused by the sacrifice so that in the event of an emergency, the crew doesn’t waste time deciding whose cargo should be sacrificed. The party whose cargo is lost in the incident has the right to compensation from the parties whose cargo was saved as a result of the sacrifice."
Sure but that’s not a real metric.

There really is nowhere for everyday consumers to complain about comparable issues in Linux. There is nobody to complain to, and the the only options are self help.

Anyone who fails, fails silently, and there is also the issue that because of all the variation in hardware and software setups it’s hard to even determine that an issue is the same.

On the other side, Apple has more than a billion active users, so a few hundred people with a single issue really doesn’t mean anything at all.

There's a bit more to it.

I think one of the more novel (hah! 40 years old now) aspects is that tasks can be declared on the stack which allows for structured concurrency to be done in Ada without needing a separate library. Something like (outline):

package body SomethingSomethingDarkside is
procedure Foo(N : Integer) is
task A ...
task B ...
task C ...
task type D ...

Bunch_Of_Ds : array (1..N) of D;
begin
DoStuff;
end Foo; -- doesn't actually terminate until all the above terminate
begin
Foo;
Put_Line("Won't be printed until after all of Foo's tasks finish.");
end SomethingSomethingDarkside; --

Neatly fits the intention of Structured Concurrency. Tasks can also be allocated on the heap which allows you to have something more like what conventional threads or Go routines or Erlang processes do.

And protected objects come with built in mutexes and blocking conditions on entries to prevent race conditions or control system invariants.

My question on these is always how it handles multi page documents. Most DOM and CSS approaches to HTML to PDF require it to fully render everything for placement before it can convert.

If you have to render something big, like a 300 page member directory for example, the approach will blow up.

> Cherry picking bits and pieces of what I mentioned rather than addressing the entirety of the argument does not a good counter-argument make.

Here’s where I addressed the entirety of your argument:

> Really your comment has nothing to do with whether MacOS *just works(, you have articulated a list of preferences and desires for it to work more like other things you have more familiarity with.
You just want it to work differently - I.e. you just don’t like it.
I increasingly don’t like it either for various reasons, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t just work.

As for cherry picking. I don’t need to refute every point you made - they all fall under this umbrella.

> And no, neither does linking some dictionary entry as if it actually proves you understand what that dictionary entry is saying.

It does. If it didn’t you’d have addressed it, but you didn’t.

Your entire argument boils down to “Mac OS doesn’t work like linux”.

That doesn’t mean it doesn’t just work. It means it isn’t a good choice for you.

> It is tolerable usability-wise only after extensive fiddling and tweaking and troubleshooting,

Almost nobody does this. Most people find it very usable as is. As I said - this is just about your preferences and nothing more.

> and that's only on good days when those aforementioned bugs ain't actively preventing me from using basic OS functionality.ugh

This is also something almost nobody experiences.

Perhaps your attempts to make MacOS work differently from how it was designed are causing you these problems.

What is odd to me is that you continue to use an operating system that is so ill suited to your preferences.

> so it would seem the vaccine risk is about an order of magnitude lower than covid

If you get infected, or did you account for the risk of getting covid in the first place ?

And with all that COVID has easily identifiable risk factors that impact the probability of severe outcome by order of magnitude, do vaccine side effects have comparable risk predictors ?

So, from where I'm standing, if you're young, healthy and able to avoid high risk COVID areas you're much better off skipping vaccination till they figure out the risk factors or vaccinate enough higher risk groups that it's no longer an issue.

It's really hard for a language to grow mature enough for businesses to use it for valuable systems. You don't just need the programming language, it's also expected you have good editor support, some type checking tools, performance measurement tools and a whole bunch of battle-tested packages for common problems in programming. It's also risky as a business to begin building stuff in Julia when it's still a relatively niche language. That's not management being reactionary, that's just being pragmatic.

Almost by definition, new languages just can't compete with established languages on maturity. They have to compete on other metrics - better language design, a different runtime, new capabilities, etc. and therefore will attract a different crowd - initially

Over time, the bleeding edge first-movers will create basic necessities, which then attracts the programming language afficionados, who build interesting new software and nice-to-have, which attracts ordinary programmers, who then grow the community enough to give it stability and battle-tested packages, which then lets the language become "boring, old and stable". But this whole process takes ages. Look at e.g. Rust. Julia is somewhere between the "afficionado" and "ordinary programmer" stage. Of course you shouldn't use it for mission critical software where maximal stability is key. That doesn't mean the Julia hype isn't warrented.
The interesting thing is that corruption was also rife in the past as well, but like birthing pain, it is mostly forgotten as it morphs into memory.
Despite reading quite a lot about astronomy, comets and asteroids and the history of all of the three, I didn't get the distinction between asteroids and comets yet. I understand the composition makes the difference, but I didn't get why we expect exactly two (!) distinct categories of intersolar/interstellar objects, and giving them exactly two distinct names. Why not more, or less (i.e. no distinction at all, just a summary of the probable composition)?

Why is this so? Is there a fundamental reason to make this special distinction, or is it just "tradition"?

An interesting thing to think about was people used to think of getting somewhere. Now we think of things coming to us. In a way, we did achieve the "zipping around", it's just that we did it via the internet and wireless communication. Of course, it is not the same, but it is similar.
I agree. What annoys me is when not very artistic mediums like scientific articles force a fixed page layout. It gets even worse when you have to hunt down the relevant figures over the following pages because they couldn't be put on the same page due to lack of space. Also opening a figure in a separate window isn't much a thing either for pdfs.
> Don't get me started on moving around in PDFs. There are always 2 sets of page numbers, one for the PDF and one of the document. Extremely confusing.

It's only a tiny subset of all PDFs in circulation, but the LaTeX PDFs I produce using appropriate settings (mainly KOMAScript class) always nail this. The current page number always corresponds to what is printed in the PDF. This can be alphanumerical (e.g. page "a" / 300, where 300 is the total number of all pages) or roman, for the frontmatter. The PDF viewer will then literally show e.g. "Page XII / 300".

So in that sense, it's in the hands of the party producing the PDF to get this right, not an inherent limitation in the standard.

But now, new problems arise. If you're on the printed page XII but your viewer displays "Page 22 / 300", you know where you are in total. "Page XII / 300" is "correcter" but can be anything.

> Searching. Ugh, searching a PDF is a nightmare I don't want to even think about right now. Ctrl+F is broken 99% of the time.

Don't share this experience. It's a the same level as in browsers, where CTRL+F is also quite limited (I'd give a kidney to have regex available everywhere---ripgrep-all gets close on the desktop). The only different thing in PDFs is if hyphenation occurs, which is arguably less common in browsers (simply because of poorer typographical standards/people care more in proper PDFs). Your search term will indeed be invisible to CTRL+F. The only other time it breaks down in PDFs if the PDF is corrupt/poorly produced/bad OCR.

You're still not making any sense. How does this contribute to systemic risk? How does "adding housing supply" change anything with respect to systemic risk? And this person was renting out a place they already own.

This is all gibberish - economically, if a marginal landlord buying a property then renting out contributes to the increase in real estate price due to creating additional demand then they equally contribute to the decrease in rent by creating additional supply.
