Firstly, we have a lot more than 3 months of data now. This study of the Moderna mRNA vaccine shows that after 209 days "antibody activity remained high in all age groups" and and "nearly all participants had detectable activity in a pseudovirus neutralization assay".[1]

Secondly, sure, we don't know how long vaccine immunity will last, but that's a far cry from saying that vaccines were not designed for lasting immune reponses. For example, Pfizer/NTech's phase I/II trials explored over different doses, and they ended up selecting a dose of 30 micrograms rather 10 micrograms or 1 microgram because 30 micrograms elicited greater antibody responses, sustained over their measurement period of 43 days.[2]

Thirdly, quoting from the abstract of that same Nature paper: "Two doses of 1–50 μg of BNT162b1 elicited robust CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses and strong antibody responses, with RBD-binding IgG concentrations clearly above those seen in serum from a cohort of individuals who had recovered from COVID-19." [2]

Let me state it again, without the jargon: Vaccinated patients had antibody responses clearly above those who had recovered from COVID-19. This, as I understand it, is why the CDC recommends that those who have recovered from COVID-19 still get the vaccine, as it offers extra protection from weaker or faded immune responses. [3]

Do you really think my statement that 'the vaccine is specifically designed to trigger strong and lasting immune responses' is wrong?

As I shared above, the phase I/II trials of these vaccines measured time series of immune responses to help select the dosing, and they picked a dose that had a strong immune response that lasted over their measurement time series.

Tell me why, in any circumstance, waterproofing a battery is where you'd stop.

You still need to waterproof the circuitry, the connectors, the components like the screen.

The original point was thus:

The argument for making a battery non-user-serviceable and glued into the device (as it is on the iPhones) was to retain waterproofing/water resistance.

THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO MACBOOKS YET THE BATTERIES ARE STILL GLUED IN.

Doesn't it mean exactly that? It doesn't matter if it's caused by ceiling and floor effects, the end result is that the less competent tend to overrate themselves.

If there's a 1/2,000 chance of getting stuck in the Suez, the insurer would need a premium of $500,000 to break even.

Not necessarily. The Ever Given has a length of 1312 feet, beam of 193 feet, and draft of 108 feet. That ship is huge!

There's not a linear relationship between ship size and "chance of getting stuck". Slightly smaller ships would probably have a much lower premium.
Used KeePass and pass in the past. KeePass is nice, but has much more features than I really need. I wanted something lighter and simpler, so I migrated to pass in 2015. Even though it is nice that it relies on tools like gpg and git, it complicated things more than not. It is (was?) hard to use on every OS except Linux. And in addition to backing up the database, the gpg key now needs to be backed up, too. Password management is messy.

When searching for alternatives, I found the concept of stateless password managers. Proprietary cloud solutions are off the table for me. Because I travelled a lot in 2018, a new criterion emerged: How does bootstrapping work? How do you get any password from the database on a device that you do not own? This is obviously difficult with a traditional approach. I quickly migrated most important logins and never look back!

Besides storing passwords, a password manager should also help using them. KeePass provides Auto-Type for this. Eventually, most passwords will be used in the browser. Having a compatible browser extension became a must. Copy-pasting is a dealbreaker, because every application can read the clipboard! Most desktops support text drag and drop and on mobile, the application should provide a custom keyboard or accessibility feature.

In the meantime, I am using my own browser extension and wrote a converter plugin for KeePass to occasionally copy them (for convenience only) to my mobile. Typing the master password is cumbersome, so I use a random file (one of the dozens) in the Downloads folder as keyfile. In case of emergency or for bootstrapping, there is a web app.

Starting with a motivation can be great especially if it lights my butt on fire. This one sort of demotivated me by telling me exactly what it looks like when I fail.

Then it told me to continue doing that but write it down when I do, creating a reference of failing attempts at reading a book.

That is the real problem with BTC, that the tokens are non fungible.

When I accept these 'tainted' BTC tokens, they might get blocked by others parties.

So even here, XMR has a real benefit since those tokens are really fungible.

The question will indeed be if it can live together with the economy, or beside it.
I’ve put hundreds of hours individually into most of the Fallout games. There are so many side quests and crazy things that can happen, character options, things to explore, ways to accomplish goals that I can keep going back.

I played Final Fantasy VII Remake twice, because they made the game so you can’t get everything by going though just once and I also wanted to get the PS trophies. So I replayed it, though I found it tedious and annoying at times. I don’t remember how many hours I spent but certainly under one hundred.

I’ve replayed all these games, but I wouldn’t say the latter has replay value.

Barely. They’ve aggressively pushed the app on mobile users for years, and they keep moving more and more of the mobile site behind a login screen. For example, you must now make an account to view more than the last few comments on a post on the mobile site.
I don’t think we will ever see this. The incentive to modify the code and make it do “evil” things is too high.
Having irreplaceable batteries makes your device have a very short lifespan. This is horrible for the environment. I'm typing this on a pixel 1 that I've replaced the battery in, and have used for 4+ years.

Laptops should have replaceable batteries. Period. If you get a new laptop every 2 years and don't know what it's like to have a perfectly good MacBook with 30minutes of battery life, then maybe you can just imagine being in that position and consider how globally impactful this anti consumer practice is.
The API was never removed, it's just behind a system permission (only system apps can be granted this permission).

Before Marshmallow (2015), recording phone calls was behind the same permission as recording the mic. This was obviously bad as voice calls are much more privacy sensitive than the mic.
In Marshmallow, phone calls recording was updated to be guarded by a new permission, a system one, so only system application can access it.

Nevertheless, there were multiple ways to bypass the new system permission, which call recording apps made use to continue recording calls even without the system permission.
Those ways were fixed one after the other as part of securing and refactors of the audio stack. The last such bug was fixed in Android 9.

Any OEM can bundle a call recording apps, it's just that many don't.
I'm amazed at google's spam filters. They catch like 99% of the spam from an email I've probably had for 12 years or so. Every now and then something slips through but it's pretty good. When I look at the spam folder I see I probably get 20:1 spam:legit email.

I don't disbelieve you, but the fact that this "holy shit amazing" job in a highly-skilled and in-demand field pays less than I was earning at McDonald's when I was 14 makes me extremely concerned about what Americans have been convinced is normal.
The state of Mozilla is evidence of the correctness of one of those group's positions.
expanding on your idea - how about the possibility that it would also allow to have weapons with small-ish (and highly tunable) yield which would allow for tactical use of it. The NK tests for example were of small yields and many declared it to be fizzles - i wonder though could it have been that they actually were able to build small yield weapons which in some sense are more useable than the megaton ones.

The classic Cold War style MAD is probably showing its age and limitations - even when your country is being attacked, at least in some conventional way and especially if using modern high-precision hitting mostly military, it would probably be a very tall order to muster a decision to throw the megaton ICBMs into the country of your attacker. Compare to that the decision to use small-ish (the smaller the better) tactical nukes directly against the much larger/powerful attacking forces is practically a no-brainer.

Firefox is less than what I think that it could or should be - but it is the last shield against the wholesale takeover of the primary face of the internet by an advertising monopoly.

The thing that scares me most about mozilla is the question of which long term revenue generation mechanism best guarantees their ability to continue to develop and mature software the allows for a user focused internet software ecosystem (which WASM is forming of the web).

I built a 6 disk TrueNAS Raid-Z2 box two years ago and though it was inconvenient to build vs buying something off the shelf, TrueNAS has been excellent. Does what it says on the tin and continually improving with each release.

Their cloud sync and UPS functionality have been great (flaky power around here). Haven't dug into the TrueNAS' ZFS pool/snapshot management and jails management (FreeBSD's containers) functionality, but both are compelling once I get time and a good project for them. The NAS performing so well has me itching to upgrade to 10 gigabit ethernet around the house once prices come down a bit.

Also I ran the OS off mirrored thumb drives until recently. That was pretty nifty.
I had such issues like 5 years ago. Since then no issue with a btrfs root fs.

If you're looking for a cheaper model, the HP ProBook x360 435 G8 is available with either a 5800U or PRO 5850U starting at ~$1000: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-probook-x360-435-g8-not... (performance should be the same but the PRO models include some extra security features: https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/pro-security )

Lenovo has a number of 5000U models coming out (including various Thinkpads), but if I were looking for an upgrade this year, I think I'd be most excited about the 5800H Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro (available for preorder now).

Regarding H vs U processors, based on my testing of a previous-gen 4800H laptop, it benchmarked comparably on a perf/W basis to the U series, but via 3rd party tools (I use RyzenAdj) you can easily set whatever TDP you want (eg from 10W or 15W to match a U up to 65W+).
OK, so is PassMark more accurate than Geekbench?

ok now I'm worried. I got the JJ vaccine 4 weeks ago. Suffered semi bad flu for few hours that night then after felt great. Now some who now me may consider me a hypochondriac but I've felt a tad "off" since the vaccine but kept it to myself. Maybe only 2-3 tiny lightheadedness episodes while walking the dog (nothing major just more of "what was that"), or some very minor chest tightness and stomach bloating feel.

But last week (would have been 3 weeks after shot) I awoke in the middle of the night with pretty a bad chest pain like you describe. Felt like it was in middle of my chest and was quite painful. I had to physically sit up in my bed for about 5 minutes hoping it would subside. I got up and got some water and hoped it didn't get worse as I started contemplating what I should do if it does.

I was so tired though I just propped myself up with pillows and slept sitting up against the headboard because laying down seemed to make it come back worse. I eventually fell asleep and when I woke for the day I still felt a small amount of pain still. Went about my day normally and it seemed to go away later in the day.

I would think I am out of the window by now after 4 weeks to which I am in any danger from what I'm reading on news sites? I've been the gym since that episode and have done cardio fine. My wife suggests I take some low-dose aspirin for next few days.

A very good point and one I've learned over the years with Zcash. But the social problems, maybe, can change: someone can launch a new coin that fixes them or an existing one can get its act together. Or maybe not.
