How about put them all in a missile, launch it to pass at above the target ship at, I dunno perhaps few kilometers, and then free fall up to several hundred meters where their motors will come online. After that they'd have enough power to start acquiring targets and destroy that billions aircraft carrier. Do this 2 or 3 times and it would be Afghanistan all over again where $80k missile was destroying millions $ soviet aircraft. Exhaust the expensive platforms using cheap drones.

> I have continuously been near or around folks that have come down with Covid and have yet to encounter a second infection or positive test since my initial infection. I look forward to when greater fact-based realities start to take hold again.

People can get covid twice [1]. Especially older people who are at higher risk of death.

These Rust replacements are unique in the way that most of them vastly improved on the original. I still don't quite understand what about Rust made that happen. They could have been easily written in, say, Nim years before Rust existed.
> Do you think it's a reasonable thing for most people to take your stance and not get vaccinated?

As with any other disease, it is reasonable (and expected) for everyone who had covid to not get vaccinated, given that the immunity you get from having the disease is always better than what you'd get from a vaccine.

That this is even considered controversial by some people just goes to show you how far our science education has failed us.
I'm not sure why people keep saying this. The original studies did not study if the vaccine prevents spread, that is true. I'm not certain myself, but I believe that studies done based on COVID spread in countries where vaccination rates are high (at least Israel) point to the direction that it prevents spread as well. Are these not valid data points?
Do you have a photo?

This is probably the wrong forum for this question, but I have no idea which one to recommend.
I thought I read that it was proven to significantly reduce the likelihood of infection as well as completely eliminate the risk of hospitalization if you do get infected. Admittedly, the media coverage was abysmal (everyone was just quoting “90% effective” without clarifying “effective at what?”).
Your "debunking" video has already been debunked: your video released on May 9, the radar data you are pretending to debunk was released on May 27. Your linked video does not address the footage released today! :p ;) xx

Facebook should never have stifled the debate about Covid’s origins
Arguments against your case:

* Outlets had previously been reporting that mild cases do not give enough immune response to be lasting

* Variants might not be caught by the natural immune response, but the vaccines are showing to be pretty effective with them.

* Many people also think it's selfish not to get the free flu vaccines each year, so it isn't surprising that after a pandemic where half a million Americans died due to the spread of this disease, "No I'm good" seems callous. Surprise, you live in a society - and I don't say that sentence ironically.

Yes, science and reality is important. That's why the fact that the vaccine is a sure shot vs. you winging it with your prior illness, despite the fact the vaccines are overwhelmingly safe, gives some people pause.
Not proven, but looking increasingly likely. From your own link to the CDC, "A growing body of evidence indicates that people fully vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) are less likely to have asymptomatic infection or to transmit SARS-CoV-2 to others."
Based on the story title (but not the story itself exactly), I’m one of those Americans. Six months ago I packed up the essentials from my apartment and loaded them in an RV. I built out a great office space in the front (better than the average “home office”, aka a desk next to their bed, for someone where I’m from) and have been working from the road since Christmas. Traveled through 15 states so far and outside a few hiccups along the way, overall really loving it! AMA.

That's why the fundamental solution to both the ageing problem and space exploration is not biological.

Humans are fundamentally adapted to live/reproduce on the oxidizing and wet environment on Earth. Rather than bring out a mini Earth environ each time we go to space, we should start thinking about how we can just bring out our mind. It would be much more sustainable in the long run, maybe even on Earth itself.
If you calculate in the worth of your time, its an easy choice. Its so much cheaper and faster to just get movers. Safer too if you're worried about your back.
How I Work From Anywhere with mosh, tmux, Git, and stow (2019)
You're right: containers and the container ecosystem are complicated and a bit messy.

However, containers solve real problems; real problems that you are going to want to solve one way or another, whether you choose to use containers or not.

For example:

1. making sure your application is run with the correct dependencies

2. keeping your application (somewhat) isolated from other applications on the same host

3. packaging your application in a way that is widely compatible

You don't have to use containers, but you will gain a lot of insight from understanding the problems they solve well, and where their rough edges are.

Additionally, some of the things that seem ugly are, in some cases, necessary, or design decisions that do make sense in context.

For example, the use of a layered filesystem. If I am building my application on a given base image, then when I deploy a new version of my application, the host only needs to pull the top layers that contain my application. If I have many applications on the same base layers, that amplifies the savings on pulls and storage. Furthermore, a running container can perform all of its writes on a layer, which can just be discarded when the container exits. There is no need to make a copy of the image FS for the container, which saves on startup time. The layered filesystem approach has a lot of benefits. The cost (downside) is having to understand the additional complexity of layers, and having to structure the layers in such a way as to avoid things like excessively large images.

I don't know about Canadian winters, but heat pumps certainly perform well in Swedish winters, which I don't imagine are much milder than Canadian ones.

On a type to be named _separately_.

To-be-named-at-runtime is simply dynamic typing. It's polymorphism without static typing.

Generics based on type erasure, e.g. Java, wrap that with a type system hoping* to prove safety at compile time, yet compile to a single dynamicly typed implementation, that does not use this type info at runtime.

Generics based on code generation / specialization, e.g. C++, generate distinct run-time implementations with the type hard-coded.
(Though you can plug in dynamic typing by making the hard-coded type a pointer.)
In C++ this is more than optimization, it's semantics — you can specify distinct behavior for specific types.

JIT compilers can start from a single dynamic-dispatch implementation and generate specialized implemetations for some types, bridging the divide.

But in any case, the common meaning of "generics" is not merely polymorphism, it's polymorphism plus a type system where you _name_ the type you're gonna use.

This is important when vaccine supplies are limited (in some places in the world that's the case), but not if they aren't.

"Since then, one study after another has reinforced the single-vaccine-for-survivors idea, though some skeptics have pointed out that it is logistically simpler to just give everyone two doses than to figure out who needs only one...Cheng at Cedars-Sinai said she would still default to the CDC guidance calling for two vaccines, even for people who have had COVID-19. The data does suggest, however, that one dose could be enough"

I know this feeling, having moved from the US to Austria, where I lived for 3 years, and moved back, basically selling everything I had twice.

There's a shift in perspective with possessions. I'm less attached to anything, but at the same time, I appreciate the nice things I own more. And there's definitely a lot more, stronger opinions, on what I want, and what should be a part of my "home".

A bunch of opinions have sharpened unpredictably. Like, I hate grass. I don't want something I have to build an irrigation system to maintain. I like owning a single family home, but I don't want it do be this 'castle' where I'm totally isolated from my neighborhood. I hate big garage doors in front. The front of the house is for the doorway and a porch. The car has its place to the side.

Had I not had to rebuild from scratch a couple of times, not sure I'd be this focused.
My understanding is it's essentially just as efficient as a resistive electrical heater as all the energy used in your video card is converted to heat at some point in the process. There may be some very minor loss here, but I'm not enough of a physicist to say what it'd be.
This is spot on... I wish I could share my recent experience
This doesn't work because non-vaccinated people will breed variants, which the original vaccine won't work on.

- Drop the drones from a larger aircraft (e.g. Xi'an Y-20).

- Computer vision is incredibly cheap and small in 2021 (particularly "hit this giant thing that looks like a warship").

Western military thinking is obsessed with ever advancing technological solutions (with high associated costs/limited numbers). But "massing," be it small boats or small aircraft/drones defeats it consistently. Good enough is often good enough.

No matter how good your technological advantage is, it can never be in two/four/six places at once and that $1M smart defensive missile can only shoot down so many incoming targets.

That's why the US's nuclear defense was ultimately MAD, because Russia simply built tons of dumb/cheap nukes that overwhelmed anything the US could shoot down even assuming the perfect defensive platform. If the defense is 10x or 100x the cost/space/complexity, you'll win the mass war every time.

We need more Embraer Super Tucanos and less F-35s, because an F-35 can never be in eight places at once no matter how advanced it is, same logic with cheap & small Vs. expensive & large warships. Warships need more computer controlled guns that shoot big bullets and less smart missiles that take up 100x the space, 100x the cost, and thus you get 100x less supply.

A drone is an Embraer Super Tucano on steroids, because now you've reduced the pilot cost/limitation. The fact that the US doesn't already have offensive/defensive drone swarms means they're asleep at the wheel.
Be careful to clear this with your company first. It can become a tax nightmare and could lead to termination if you’re working at a large organization that doesn’t have a presence where you want to work.
I looked at Florida earlier this year and decided against it. The “no income tax” thing gives people the wrong idea - it’s not a cheap place to live unless housing is cheap, which is no longer the case. Property tax is similar to the situation in California. The house is reassessed when sold and then you have small increases until you sell. Newcomers bear the brunt of it and long-time residents pay very little. And then homeowners insurance anywhere close to the ocean!!!
I think we should petition for a law that states this. Companies will never do this out of benevolence.

Money laundering is not always linked to criminal activity except in so far as money laundering it itself illegal. Many nations (and not just "third world" nations) have some pretty onerous restrictions of flow of capital. A lot of money laundering activity is simply people moving money between jurisdictions. Admittedly, sometimes (usually?) with illegal goals such as tax evasion, but not always.

Some of it is intentional "motive hacking." As you say, prestige, research funding and the like are as (or more) operative as salary.

Some of it is unintentional. Before publish or perish, publishing volume probably was a signal for something. I doubt it was ever a signal for high quality research, but low (or no) volume may have been a signal for low quality. Also, formal decision making bodies (like grant makers or tenure committees) tend to gravitate to quantitative, legible metrics.

Whatever the reason initially, publishing volume became a hugely important thing with impacts on many aspects of research.

At the same time, in CS especially, the number of researchers has also ballooned. That's a whole other strain on a system of, at core, knowledge dissemination.
Precisely! This is the reason why "crypto is good for money laundering" falls apart, IMHO.

The broadly-accepted imperative requirement is "vaccinated", as in "do not enter without a mask/etc unless you have been fully vaccinated". There is never a reference to "inoculated" (to wit vaccinated or had Covid and recovered).

Furthermore, there may not be "official documentation from your gov't and official health body". I was tested & 'treated', but my wife had exactly the same symptoms & recovery without bothering with doctors (seriously, it was really mild), so there is no documentation and no apparent process to procure such documentation.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Seems that, to most people, Covid & vaccines are magic: the disease is perceived little differently from evil spirits (sparing some and slaying others, with nothing corporeal to perceive & avoid), and the vaccine is a tangible talisman mysteriously able to ward off such spirits (by a mere prick from a costumed wizard wielding magic potions). This leaves most people, unable to really grasp the objective mechanism of vaccination (being a simulation of actual infection, to teach the body to fight it off), with the only objectively perceivable act they can grasp in the issue: vaccine injection. Hence many dismiss the near-spiritual notion of "I contracted it, survived, and am now immune - without intervention by wizards". Thus, to present it a bit over-the-top, recovered and vaccinated are not treated the same by those not professionally involved in medicine.
> but how have we always just accepted the lack of personal privacy when it comes to finance?

We didn't. This is something that has changed in the UK in my lifetime. Unless you were the subject of an investigation you didn't have to provide much detail to the tax authorities, and what you did provide was kept strictly separate from other areas of government.

There was an attempt to strike a balance with the emphasis on privacy. Nowadays the government thinks it is entitled to all the data all the time.

I always think about the scenario that I have outlived everyone I ever knew. Not sure if that is a good thing necessarily. I wonder how many new people you can meet or make friends after say 80 especially if you are not very healthy.
Things are being put into your body with or without your knowledge. You had no idea if you were infectious with COVID for up to 14 days possibly, so it doesn’t matter if you didn’t go out when you “felt sick.” You may feel like your being responsible, but that does not mean you feeling that way actually means you are being that way.

Over 500,000 people have died. Awesome. You recovered. A lot of other people didn’t. I wouldn’t be so confident you’ll always recover. And it’s possible that you’ll infect folks who can’t recover along the way, because of your “lack of interest.”
From my understanding if you had an mRNA vaccine, your body was only exposed to an artificial spike protein, so effectively you have spike specific antibodies.

On the other hand, if you had a real infection by the virus, you likely have antibodies for the spike protein and other part of the virus like the shell. So from my layman understanding, the immunity should be more resistant to a mutation of the spike protein.

That being said I also know someone who got Covid 2 times, once in march 2020 and once in april 2021. (Confirmed by PCR the 2 times). The second time was much milder, but still she had to stop working for a week (versus one month the first time). It is still possible it was a defective test the second time, and something else than Covid.

I agree with you, and would also point out the subtitle on the article says: "though viral variants could dampen some of the protection they offer".

Variants are the problem here, which is the case for all anti-vax arguments.
And every new study like this confirms we didn’t know enough about it to propose solutions like “herd immunity”
PCR, no, antibody tests do. E.g. if you give blood with the Red Cross right now, they will do a basic antibody test that will react if you have had COVID or if you have been vaccinated. If you test positive for that, they do a second test that will only react if you have been exposed to the real virus.

Stop spreading misinformation. My comment was not false, and in fact is quite obvious. e.g. from https://www.michigan.gov/documents/mdch/Waiver_Ed_Natural_Im...

"It is true that natural infection almost always causes better immunity than vaccines."
It's strange how the same people who scream "TRUST THE SCIENCE" the loudest seem to ignore your body naturally producing antibodies to Covid after you've been infected and recovered.

You simply don't need a vaccine to help your body produce antibodies if you already have them. Not just for covid 19 but for anything.

Don't let anyone shame you or pressure you into getting a vaccine that you're not comfortable getting.

My understanding is that the opposite is true, at least based on what we know right now. Here is an article summarizing just that[1], which links to a few peer-reviewed studies (and a couple that are pending review) suggesting that the vaccines are better than natural immunity.

I don't have any background in this or agenda or anything, so don't shoot the messenger - just sharing what I understand to be the opinion of at least some of the medical community.
