U.S. Seeks to Pause J&J Covid-19 Vaccine Use After Rare Blood-Clot Cases
You're already required to have a list of other vaccines before entering most colleges. This is nothing new. Try harder.
I'm not saying your calculus is wrong but this does make an assumption that all clots are created equal and I don't believe that is the case.

The specific issue being observed is "cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST)" in combination with "low levels of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia)" per the Joint CDC and FDA statement (1).

Low blood platelets means anti-clotting treatments can pose a substantial bleeding increase, making this already dangerous condition difficult to treat.

Incidentally Robert Musil's 'Man of no qualities' is set in Vienna of the same time. Does it also portray something similar?
As a young healthy people myself, I'm not tremendously concerned about either risk on a personal level, but I'm very concerned about getting vaccinated as fast as possible so I can do what I'd like without spreading disease. (To their credit, the agencies seem to have evaluated this and concluded the pause won't have a huge impact on vaccination timelines - but that won't do much for the people who were hoping to get it today!)
> For some, the money is just a byproduct.

In theory, sure, some are just motivated because they are driven types after a vision of conquering something or other. But this is just a story. In reality, incentives change behavior. Money motivates people. They tell themselves other things, but money motivates people. There's a reason why bonuses and equity are enormous. They attract and amplify financial greed in a vicious cycle.

I used to be a free market/libertarian type, so I understand the whole "let people do whatever the heck they want with their money, as long as it's not violent" but I'm not now. It's surprising that you can just...stop...believing that. Money and its protection, the market place, property...anything that is not a banana in your hand, anything you didn't literally make yourself from rocks and sticks, requires cooperation and dealing with other people, and obeying the rules. Today's instruments of wealth aren't chickens and bread; currency, money, debt; these are social constructions and social agreements. Everything from the government to the police to the courtesy not to rob someone in plain daylight makes currency and money possible; the entire structure of society is a protection scheme for money and property. It's a "safe place" for transactions. It took a ton of work to get here, and a ton of people to keep it going! Without the protection of society, we'd be at chests full of gold surrounded by people with spears. Instead, the system we have now is a social contract--a complex one--that requires a huge amount of cooperation from a lot of not very rich people doing their jobs so rich people don't get eaten alive.

I think it's entirely fair that as participants of that system, we decide what the cap on the number of gold coins you can put in your chest is. Because you can't really defend that level of wealth on your own, you need all of us to do that. So we have a say. (I would put that number, personally, at less than $1 billion. I literally believe that there should be a personal wealth cap of $1 billion. Full stop. It's actually OK to believe that, and I promise you, no one is going to die.)

The rich have so thoroughly blinded and corrupted our thinking about property. They hate scrutiny. They hate people thinking seriously about what the structure of society is. They hate when people notice how insanely unfair it all is. They'll just say Marxism, or Communism, or Socialism. And you're supposed to shut up because you're a monster like Stalin or Mao, apparently. And then the lies. The denial. The koolaid. It's amazing to me that people just accept their roles in holding up the pyramid so willingly. But I guess society would have fallen apart long ago if it didn't select for people willing to hold it up, no matter what the dumbness of the day is.
There's a certain irony in you posting that Lewis quote. "Omnipotent moral busybodies" is a good description of a significant part of the left-wing these days.

> This new, self-made entrepreneur class does not only think they have earned their money themselves, which as a sidenote is also kind of a fiction

It's not a fiction that entrepreneurs earned their money themselves. It's more complicated than that but it's not fiction. Most entrepreneurs fail, the ones who get rich usually do something innovative.

It is a fiction that entrepreneurs are "intellectually superior, morally superior and virtuous" but, again, who really thinks of themselves that way, Paul Graham-style entrepreneurs or the lefties who insist that they are motivated purely by "justice" but are clearly at least partly motivated by resentment?

There are good arguments for left-wing policies. But the left today is culturally ascendant and many of its most popular arguments are petty vindictiveness (like, for example, that rich people didn't innovate in order to get rich -- most of them did!).

One problem with technical tech is that it often talked about abstractly : "there is technical debt", "There are code smells", etc.

But if we want to use technical tech as a tool practically, we should be able to quantify the technical debt precisely.

We should be able to say I have 10 000 € per day or 100 000 € of technical debt.

I have developed (very early stage) a tool to quantify technical debt : I appreciate any feedback (if stated kindly :p)

The CDC and FDA have done a terrible job in my opinion with the pandemic. They are prime example of government institutional decay. The consiquentalists will win because the J&J vax helps more people than it hurts. This will only add to vax hesitancy. When the dust settles this decision will kill more people than it saves. I had the J&J vax. I got side effects but I now have some immunity to COVID-19 and it's worth it.

Dvorak vs Colemak (2010-2020)
Good grief. You make the claims:

> Hormonal birth control boasts clot rates of 1 per 10k

This differs depending on the age from my research. Your overall seems too high when risk adjusted. I asked you to post your source so we could discuss from the same source. In any case per (https://www.healthline.com/health/birth-control/pulmonary-em...):

- Out of every 10,000 women taking birth control pills, 3 to 9 of them will develop a blood clot.

- Out of every 10,000 women who are not pregnant and who do not use birth control pills, 1 to 5 of them will develop a blood clot.

- Out of every 10,000 pregnant women, 5 to 20 of them will develop a blood clot.

- Out of every 10,000 women in the first 12 weeks after giving birth, 40 to 65 of them will develop a blood clot.

In other words, taking birth control pills actually reduces blot clot rates compared to pregnancy, the very thing birth control pills prevent. Your entire point is moot.
We don't need to have abstract philosophical conversations about hypothetical numbers. We know the real ones.

When you have a Physician recommend a dangerous procedure because of their feelings over scientifically proven procedure it's dualistic.

This actually happened.
I think part of it comes from the perception of war (like parent commenter stipulated, different depending where you're from).

Americans know war from TV, worst that happens is some of those who signed up for the work don't come home, or a remote naval base gets bombed.

The Polish known wars throughout all their history. It's only natural to think the next war is coming, because some war has always been coming.

6 bloot clot cases in more than 6.8 million doses.

In the case of J&J’s shot, six women ages 18 to 48 developed blood clots after taking the J&J vaccine, the FDA and CDC said. The clots developed 6 to 13 days after vaccination. The women also had in their blood low counts of platelets, which help with clotting.
The government helped create both the 1929 crash and the Great Depression. The US suspended the gold standard to pay for the first World War. Commercial banks were flooded with money, and when inflation got out of hand the Fed tightened rates in 1928-29. Then after the crash, the government implemented all kinds of disastrous economic policies, including wage and price controls, and a massive trade war with Smoot-Hawley tariff act, destroying imports and exports. The Fed shrank the monetary base by 7% 1929-1930, one of the largest tightenings in 20th century. The Fed helped create the crash then applied disastrous monetary policy after the crash, none of which was a result of a gold standard.

Ok that’s new to me. Can anyone point out where this could be useful, if anywhere?
In Silicon Valley, the long-term capital gains tax rate is >37% (Federal + State + NIIT). That rate starts at well under a million dollars. And in the US, you aren't allowed to deduct inflation losses and have a limited ability to deduct capital losses, unlike some other developed countries. These losses don't affect labor.

Silicon Valley has one of the highest tax rates on long-term capital gains in the world, even more than almost all "social democracies". When Europe starts to look like a tax haven, the taxes on capital are not too low.
Vercel is the new Heroku. Same ease of use, MUCH better architecture and cost structure.
A good approach to avoid that kind of technical debt is domain-driven design (DDD). It helps to express concepts discussed with stakeholders directly into the code base. Thus the chance to make errors when translating the customer language into the technical language of developers is reduced. DDD could be seen as the continuation of requirements engineering, since it bridges the gap between specification and code. Both, the specification and the implementation would use the same ubiquitous language.
Modeling a wealth tax correctly is to not tax anyone.

Not convinced. Multiple processes mentioned in the piece. Maybe there is capacity being freed up as 10nm comes on-stream but seems likely that they are anticipating some weakening of demand or moving some work to TSMC.

I don’t imagine badly. I’d love to be able to have a Union where I can tell my manager not to put me on on-call rotations with no compensation, but I have no bargaining power as an individual. I’m sure other programmers have a whole slew of things that would be great, too, that can only happen if everyone works together to negotiate for it.
I had that once, in an apartment I rented in the US (TX). If you broke the lease early, you were on the hook for the remainder of the lease, UNTIL the apartment was rented again. This was called "rent acceleration" as I remember it. This was also ~25 years ago so maybe it is different now, but it definitely existed and I was subject to it.

At the time I bought a house so I broke the lease to move in. Fortunately, the apartment rented within the month so I didn't owe additional fees.

Out of curiosity I googled "rent acceleration" and see it is a hot topic now - mostly with commercial real estate and businesses break their leases due to the impact of covid on them. See https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/what-landlords-need-to-kno... for a summary. Also interesting is some US states make residential leases exempt from rent acceleration.

The Journalist and the Whistleblower
I don't know why, but for some reason I'm reminded of the Fermi Paradox after wondering why all of the technological process and app degradation is all happening now in a very recent timespan of a few decades. As in, why was I one of the people who was alive to witness the birth of the Internet, a massively influential point in human history, only a few decades ago? Maybe it's because when communication methods are discovered, humans inevitably want to perfect them, and the attempts to reach perfection have various consequences in a short period of time. There might not have been anything that could have prevented the creation of Facebook and such if humans discovered that it was possible to create such things.

I have this weird thought (from a fictional standpoint) that maybe all the adware and other bloat is rapidly converging on an inflection point that will cause some kind of technological collapse where we will have to start over from some earlier reference point, due to sentient AI or something. But I wouldn't know how, exactly.

It might make for a mildly interesting SF plot point.
You have to check box "Web" for it to search in linked articles too. Without that it highlights the words in articles that are found only because of title. And the indexing of contents isn't perfect, sometimes it seems to work for main article content but not for article author name even when it's shown.
Same for TSLA posts.
To be fair, the ones that died weren't alive.

This should be a good experiment to see how unions affect technology. Is it neutral, does it enhance it or does it hinder it.

And the reporting, it would be nice to see the coverage of this by their own reporters or journalists.
The ePrivacy Directive makes a bit of a distinction between data stored on the client, vs network information. Cookies are the former, IP addresses are the latter. From reading the paper, the TLS session ID is stored on the client, and sent to the server. So for the ePD, this is in the same category as cookies, not IP addresses.

The complicating factor is that the TLS session ID has a legitimate purpose, and this tracking is a secondary use of that data. I know what GDPR says about that topic, but I'm less familiar with the ePD. I'm trying to read the law, but it's less approachable than GDPR. I think secondary uses still require strict consent, but I'm not sure.
I think it wasn't them who decided but the clearing house. Right now HSBC itself did the banning.

I don't do bug bounties and I am not a lawyer, but use caution. You are accepting email destined for another organization. As illogical as this may sound, their company may react poorly and may send their lawyers after you. At that point, it is about proving malicious intent. They may fail but things can get complicated and expensive for you. I would explicitly start rejecting all email destined for that domain asap. All of this depends on how their folks think and trying to predict that is risky. I would also set up a simple static web page on that domain that says, "Did you mean to visit example.com instead?" without a clickable link so that your typo domain is not showing up in their stats.

As for what to do with this domain? This is probably not the answer you are looking for, but I would just let it expire.

> if they were worried about settlement risk they could just not release funds/shares until they settle

This doesn’t solve the problem of clearing collateral. That said, HSBC is a money centre bank. It isn’t worried about clearing collateral.

The policy is almost certainly a filter. If you’re trading MicroStrategy, you’re probably not a fit for their banking and wealth management services.

Is your logic basically that as long as the vaccine kills fewer people than COVID all is well?

Pausing briefly to investigate this seems prudent. If we had the same prudence with COVID overall we wouldn't be in this situation to begin with.
Seems like a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” kind of scenario. If you don’t pause the rollout, there will be news articles that the government ignored deadly side effects, resulting in lack of trust and vaccine hesitancy. If you do pause the rollout, you get vaccine hesitancy.

Agreed that if everyone is rational/good at math the optimal outcome is proceed with dosing, but sadly that is not the world we live in and the “broken trust” scenario might be more damaging.
Woah, this was a good read. I had no idea average people outside of Western countries were so restricted from the global marketplace. This is a system designed to keep you all poor.

Teaching Coding to Absolute Beginners
This is something I've been working on with my shell, https://github.com/lmorg/murex

The problem isn't so much finding a way of passing metadata but how do you retain compatibility with existing GNU / UNIX tools? It would be easy to create an entirely new shell (like Powershell) that throws out backwards compatibility but that wouldn't be very practical on Linux/UNIX when so much of it is powered by old POSIX standards.

I addressed this by having a wrapper around pipes. Anything that connects out to a classic executable is a traditional POSIX byte stream with no type data sent. Anything sent to a command that is written to support my shell can make use of said meta data.

As for handling graphical components, that's a little easier. Many command line programs already alter their behaviour depending on whether STDOUT is a TTY or not. I take things a little further and have a media handler function, called `open`, that inlines stuff in a shell that can be (it will render images in the terminal) but if STDOUT is a TTY then it will pipe the image data instead.
I get the advantage of collective bargaining for workers, but I still can't help but think that unions also add a lot of inertia and generally just have a dampening effect on agility, individual contribution, risk taking, etc. which is opposite of what you want for a software shop.

Maybe I'm wrong, and perhaps abusive megacorps really do need unions in place as a check against corporate power (never worked for one). I guess time will tell.

I took my first stab at designing and having my own PCB manufactured for a mechanical clock I'm trying to build. At the moment I'm currently stuck trying to debug the 7 x MCP23017 devices on my I2C bus. I picked up an oscilliscope and added a level converted between the RPi and my PCB, but I feel pretty lost as I'm a complete novice and have no formal background in electronics. This article provides a lot of useful information for someone like me! Online all you usually get are single MCP23017 implementations, nothing too complex.
The biggest reason that I do not fear any kind of significant European war is that European militaries are so incredibly weak and disorganized. There isn't a single non-US NATO power that has as many men under arms as Belgium did in 1914, and unlike 1914, there are no deep pools of reservists that can be called up and mobilized if those small professional militaries expend themselves.
Since when Ukraine and Baltic States are not considered in Europe? Do you mean EU?
