“Is One Vaccine Dose Enough After COVID-19 Infection?”

> A small, NIH-supported study, published as a pre-print on medRxiv, offers some early data on this important question [1]. The findings show that immune response to the first vaccine dose in a person who’s already had COVID-19 is equal to, or in some cases better, than the response to the second dose in a person who hasn’t had COVID-19. While much more research is needed—and I am definitely not suggesting a change in the current recommendations right now—the results raise the possibility that one dose might be enough for someone who’s been infected with SARS-CoV-2 and already generated antibodies against the virus.

That would be illegal where I’m from since it also disrupts 911 service. Yes, even in your own home.
reminds about the story when a hacker exposed the rape of an underage girl by the football players

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/anonymous-...

"Online vigilante Deric Lostutter helped expose the cover-up in the Steubenville rape case. Now he’s facing more jail time than the convicted rapists."

Yep, the rapists got 1 and 2 years for the rape, and the hacker got 2 years for that hack. Clearly shows what the society's priorities are.
I had the virus and completely recovered in line with other viral infections I have had in the past.
So this news is unsurprising for me.
>I will happily submit my Android location data to Apple to find out if I'm being tracked by an AirTag.

No need. Your android device can already pick up the airtag beacons. Google (perhaps with Apples help) _need_ to get safety alerts working cross platform ASAP. Someone and likely many people are going to be hurt by this tech so this needs to be done, and hopefully before regulators kill the whole idea of tracker tags.

Another way to say it would be that I think it's about the job not aligning with people's intrinsic motivators. Doesn't necessarily require the job to be at all stressful.

When people don't have enough of those things, they get burnout. Some people get them from other parts of their lives, so they're unphased by lacking them at work as long as they make "enough" money. Some people just need less than others, for a variety of reasons.
Well no, that's the advantage of my own device controlling when my location is shared -- I'd turn off the FindMyFriends tracking except for when I want to be tracked (like if I'm going out to meet friends and want them to be able to find me)
Not true. The IDE is based on the -cli. Please read the last few paragraph.

I kind of feel like China has already passed us. The US defines "innovation" as patents but in reality innovation is so much more than that. The US feels like its slowly grinding to a halt, and when I see how China is growing, I think we're already behind. I have been shopping for machine tools, and the stuff in China isn't just cheap knock offs anymore. It's good enough for them to use in country to build bullet trains and passenger jets. Of course they do import machinery from elsewhere too, but I just get the sense that they are moving very fast. If they'd passed us on daily innovation, we wouldn't exactly know it. Its hard to quantify.

By the way I blame patents for this. Patents are a legal blockade on third party innovation. But that's how progress is made! Everyone copies everyone. You see something and you make a better version. Patents gum up the works and drive things to a standstill. They don't have this problem in China. Some people think investment won't happen without IP restrictions, but I think it will, just differently. There's no more unicorns and whales, but there's a lot more fish.
No, once everyone who wants it is vaccinated, their health is their problem not mine. If anyone is still scared of unvaccinated people, they can keep themselves at home forever, they don't get to force medical choices and restrictions on others.
I love email, it's great for long letters and so. That said, I have trouble (further) adopting and especially recommending a fundamentally insecure and flawed medium like email in 2021 when clearly technically superior channels of communication exist. Signal, Matrix etc are not 1:1 replacements for email at all, but when it comes down to it, they are simpler and more secure.

Evernote uses a custom email address to route whatever media, link or text you want to send, to the specific notebook you select in your email subject. This is one of my favorite uses of email.

You are given a unique email address that is linked to your account and defaults to your default notebook.

The formatting of the email subject lets you choose any notebook as the destination for your email. You can also create a new notebook by simply adding a new notebook name after the "@" symbol.

You can add in hashtags to the email subject, after @notebook. These tags are included in the note and immediately searchable.

Simply add #planning or whatever existing tag you find useful. You can also create a brand new tag straight from email.

Using “!” then the full date and you can activate reminders.

Does anyone have any other apps or workflows that use this type of content-addressing?

Is that an accurate description for what this is? a content addressable macro?

I'd love it if Roam had a similar feature for emailing content into a specific block.

I found this short blog post that outlines this email feature if anyone is interested in checking it out :

> Obviously you will be able to see all your WhatsApp messages when WhatsApp goes down. The same is true for Facebook Messenger and many other applications, because everything is saved locally. It's even possible to send WhatsApp messages while being offline which will then be delivered later on.

I wonder how long this has been the case. My experience in the past is that these applications are not usable without a stable internet connection. That said, email clients have a concept of an outbox where messages that were sent are placed until an internet connecton is established. At that point, those messages are actually sent to their recipients.
Yes, this kind of shielding in construction is well understood, people concerned about information leakage have been doing it for decades and made the specs public. (Also people suffering from perceived "eletromagnetic hypersensitivity")
Interac E-Transfers are great, except that I wish they didn't train people to click a link from their email and type in their bank password. Sure, it redirects to a login page on your own bank's web site, but how does a non-technical user know it's not a phishing lookalike?

Really, the existing autodeposit feature would be perfect if it let you log in to your online banking and confirm pending transactions before autodepositing them. For that matter it would be nice if the email gave me a string I could paste into my online banking to get to the existing confirmation page.

It's all much better than having to link your bank account to some third party or give away your credentials though.
You forgot to mention: rats the stalker out immediately if the stalkee has an iOS device, or the first time someone with an iPhone hops in the car if they use Android.

The latter isn't something under the stalker's control, it's just a really poor tool for that particular type of antisocial behavior.

Plus it's tied to your Apple account, so we're talking about getting a fresh iPhone and ginning up an account, or leaking exactly who is doing the stalking.

The number of people who will try it isn't zero, we don't live in that kind of world. I don't picture it going very well for them.
>I can’t really think of a solution to this beyond Apple and Google working together.

This is not unreasonable to expect. They did it to build the contact tracing service.

When it comes to safety, profits and walled gardens need to come second.
I think they should require vaccination for travel (and schools and many other things) but I also think it is a problematic precedent.

How is limiting state power during a particular emergency situation a terrible precedent? The state can always grab more power at a later emergency, as history has shown. The difficult task is getting them to give up power once it is no longer needed for the emergency.

As far as I understand it is less likely for the spike protein to have a radical mutation and keep the ability to attach to cells at the same time. That's why the variants we are seeing have the same spike protein as other mutations of the virus tend to quickly disappear.

If a new variant with a different spike emerges, I guess we'll call it SARS-CoV-3 and produce a new mRNA vaccine for it.

I think the problem with forcing financial companies to develop interoperable systems is that the rules governing the standards are often set by the regulator who really don't have any skin in the game.

If you take UPI, for instance, it's a fairly robust standard that has been developed by a non-governmental body that has been ruined by the regulator insisting that banks charge 0 transaction fees even for individuals that do a large number of transactions. This is because the regulator believes even a small fee will hamper adoption. This results in a relatively high failure rate because banks refuse to invest in servers and technologies that can handle the huge volume of transactions.

I am happy that technological standards are largely untouched by the government.
Yes this is a glaring safety issue and should ideally be an explicit opt-in feature.
> The interesting thing for me in this study is that we've got a strong tie to surface level appearance

I'm not surprised. Studying charismatic species will likely help with getting you funding, is more likely to get you news coverage, attract graduate students, etc. Keep in mind that field botany is not very well supported by the NSF. Those who work in this area often have to find other sources for funding. Studying a plant that looks good to the members of the California Native Plant Society, for example is not necessarily a bad strategy.

I have no hard numbers, but you can see a similar pattern in other areas of field biology. For example, it sure looks like there are a lot more people studying birds and cute furry mammals than reptiles, fish, or insects.

> it's not that I don't know history, or I don't understand that some jobs die and others replace them.

ok, but it's not that some jobs die and others replace them, it's that efficiency gains allow less effort to satiate demand and thereby create a labor/ingenuity supply for new endeavors.

the job of writing (or performing music, etc.) did not die, it's that the demand for satisfying arts consumption can be met by a smaller sector of the economy.
That's terrible. I've never used it though, as an Australian. The name does sound vaguely familiar though. Are there any businesses that actually require you to use it? I've never seen one.

any country, including Israel, has a right to defend itself.

when these "poor victims" bombard Israeli cities with rockets, or murder civilians in suicide attacks in the name of islamic jihad, you can't just let someone into your home who is carrying a knife and has blood on their hands.

As for Lebanon they support Hezbollah, an islamic militant group which was created by Ayatollah Khomeini and sees eradication of Israel as their holy Jihad. They are largely controlled by Syria which is dreaming of "throwing the Jews into the sea", and is as far from democracy as you can possible get.

Nothing, I haven't even questioned his intelligence or said anything about him at all.

I just don't have a slightest clue in how to assess his intelligence and compare it to mine based on what I know about him, which makes me wonder what's making it so obvious to you. Especially when talking about things so blurry as "business decisions", since there are so many outside factors at play in any business that one's intelligence is never a single thing that determines business success.

Ah yes, what a good article; The one time the Brazilian Mises Institute admitted a leftist position in politics was right because it fixed a problem right-wing-economy politicians made it worse over the last decade.

I owned a 95 chevy truck until it hit 270k. My current vehicle is a 98 ford with 220k. Prior to that, I owned an 86 Saab with close to 300k. The odometers on all these had 6 digits. There may be statistics somewhere that say these are all outliers, but my experience has been that 90s vehicle are nowhere nearly as unreliable as you claim.

Cars from this era were far easier to work on than those made more recently. That's one reason I keep buying old. So it's not obvious that buying a newer car which is more difficult to fix, and may have to get taken to a mechanic or the dealer is a better deal than an older one which I can fix myself, even if the older vehicle needs fixing slightly more frequently.

Viewed this way, newer cars are both more expensive and provide worse value than cars from previous eras.

It's fine to claim it. It's shorthand for "We achieve smaller FID values (most of the time) than any other generative model."

You're correct about what you're saying, though. It's also worse: FID is a measurement biased towards imagenet-style images, and this model was also trained on imagenet, so it's quite well-suited for achieving small FID values. Whereas for generative anime, it's still unclear what the best model architecture is.

Not true. There’s a principle called “first sale doctrine” that basically says that IP rights are exhausted in the first sale of an item. So, as long as they are buying legally made copies of the product, then the company has no legal recourse. You can’t stop someone from buying something in country A and then importing it into country B and reselling it.
None of those links really support that the vaccine is better than a “natural” immunity. It sounds about as effective as the Pfizer vaccine, and that’s when you count the whole population of people that tested positive for COVID. A good portion of those were probably mild or even asymptotic. I had a raging infection where I could barely get up out of a chair for a few days, high fever, etc.

Also, I’m far from an expert but wouldn’t the vaccines only produce antibodies for the spike protein as opposed to an actual infection producing antibodies for the spike protein and the virus itself?
Trump did far worse than simply not fire Fauci. Trump made Fauci a living martyr (yes, sorry, I can't think of a better phrase).

The things Trump did and said regarding the pandemic were so consistently and profoundly idiotic, they made the bumbling bureaucrats around him look like sages. And his empty threats and blustering emboldened them, and amplified the worst of the covid scolds in opposition.

Everything we can fault Fauci for is equally on Trump's head.
