I think it's a little unfair to label everyone "anti-vaxx" who are weary of the emergency approved, no long term testing, first time ever, mRNA vaccines. For those people, encourage them to look into the more conventional Johnson and Johnson vaccine. Even then, I wouldn't consider them anti-vaxx until full FDA approval has completed, at least for the J&J vaccine.
I make all my medical decisions based on what sweepstakes the local hospital chain is offering for getting non-FDA approved experimental use authorization vaccines. Seriously, non-ironically, I literally got an email today telling me they are offering me a chance to win a trip to Disneyland if I get vaccinated!

Dammit! This is America. We are supposed to pay for our medical care and pay A LOT OF MONEY! How dare they offer me free stuff to get vaccinated! I never got offered actual money to get a medical procedure ever in my life. It makes the whole thing smell funny.

That, and I wouldn't be doing it because of any other reason than peer pressure to drink the Kool Aid. Exactly 1 person in my county died of COVID last month. I am just not scared of getting COVID enough to risk the vaccine. Besides, you guys are creating the risk of creating a Marek's disease like variant[1] by all getting a vaccine that doesn't prevent you from getting the disease, but only from getting bad symptoms.

Coincidentally I just finished reading Biohazard by Ken Alibeck and while old news (circa 1999) it left me with no doubt that there are still stockpiles of bioweapons grade smallpox in military labs. This news is strangely reassuring given how low vaccine stockpiles are against these awful diseases.
I obviously agree that it's still a lot of nurture, and that breeds can totally deviate from their original "characteristics" or intended purpose. My point was more that it's still completely different to humans because broadly speaking, specific dog breeds are much more likely to instinctively behave in a specific way. Whereas let's say the difference between middle eastern and white men is almost purely "nurture", and the nature part is usually purely physical.

And while yes, dog owners do have a huge influence on a dogs character, it's undoubtedly harder to teach a collie how to hunt and a terrier how to herd than it is to teach them the role they are actually known for. That's not true for humans, and his comparison is just incredibly uncomfortable because it implies a similar difference between say, pitbull and a greyhound. Which is not true.
I understand how mRNA works. I've got a background in both Chem and CompSci and I read https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/reverse-engineering-source...

But I wouldn't use it for the same reason I don't use Bluetooth headsets -- tech is just way too new, and of for some reason there are long term unexpected side effects, we won't know until a decade or two goes by.

PS: I'm vaccinated with the viral vector AstraZeneca one
" In theory, transmission should be reduced the most if both infected members and other contacts wear masks"

Wish you had read the studies you posted
So still very much transmissible.
Any kind of donation. But getting a 70% for a single thing is hard if it not the absolute social norm. Probably only churches achieve this. But it works for other vaxxines too. but it might take another 10 years given the doubts a new vaxxine might raise. We need people that we trust telling us that this is safe and that they expect this from us to get the cost benefit to work for the 70% . So all please all high karma HN posters: call for people to get vaxxed and put reports of risks in a statistical context...

" In theory, transmission should be reduced the most if both infected members and other contacts wear masks" from the very study you posted.
No, you asserted it doesn't matter because it still works and returns the first value. I was saying it might. The point stands. Different data structures, different modules, different semantics. Can and should is an important distinction here.
Individual people have rights, which come from God (higher power). Groups and "society" are not able to have rights, as "groups" are an artificial construct.
The elderly and immunocompromised people you are related to, spend time with, and care about. Or, hell, even those that you don't, but just happen to come in close contact with.

Also, nobody said your body is not about you. GP suggested the vaccine is not about you. Indeed, it's not. We vaccinate not to protect ourselves, but to protect society by reducing the spread of disease. The fact that it will also protect you is of course great as well. This is nothing new, and has been the same for every other vaccine.
Such a well written (scathing, and satisfying) takedown of the anti-vaccine position.
That’s just misrepresenting. While there exists pathways for RNA->DNA, they are a niche occurrence happening on evolutionary timescales. It is not at all applicable to the 30 minutes of mRNA half-life of the vaccine.

And even just playing with the idea of our genome having the spike protein’s gene, it would either just sit there doing nothing (remember it is injected into muscle tissue) or get expressed. The former case would cause no problem (no descendant would inherit it as the gonads are not affected), and the latter would be trivial to see with a continuous immune response.
Interesting. I was under the impression that Iversion intended APL to also read almost like English, provided you knew the names of operators and idioms.

Aaron Hsu has some talks showing this off about his co-dfns compiler.
The key is finding the right mix between autonomy and direction. You really need both cause there is a need for direction and organization esp as the group grows beyond team size.

But most problems aren’t a result of following the correct “science” of management, itself a dubious proposition, but can be traced back to what’s really important. You have to have the right people in the building to start with.
> I questioned why and was told that it was unreadable, [...] this annoyed me because he didn't know APL.

I often tell people that Spanish is unreadable if you don't know Spanish. This also applies to language features! It's only fair to call things "unreadable" if you have the full context to understand but still find it hard.
Like they say, "my body, my choice."
Again, I’ll be altruistic once I have recourse. Why must I waive my legal rights?
Computer scientists are good at understanding computers. Sometimes. That's pretty much it.

Even if you grant that computer scientists are more intelligent than the norm, I find that doesn't help very much. Often, I encounter some computer nerd who has constructed a crystalline tower of logic that's resting on a rickety foundation of evidence and experience.
I don't see how 'static is cheating, that's the semantic you want: to be able to live as long as the various threads. If you used scoped threads you wouldn't need 'static, but those are less general, so I didn't get into it.

No, it's just buggy. :( Thanks for mentioning though, that bug is not one I had seen just yet.
This sounds like complete bullshit. There is no way this is true. What are you measuring??

I would love to be proven wrong.
Interestingly, creativity and lying are highly correlated [1]

On the other hand, we don't know what long-term side-effects the mRNA vaccines have (besides a much lower death-rate and potential herd-immunity... which is why I got vaccinated) and there are definitely articles [2] which point out that it's not always benign to humans.

Revenue-wise, this customer works. It's also a household name brand that will significantly bolster our bargaining position, and improve our series X prospects. Just wonder if this is a problem many vendors run into, and perhaps there is a purely technical solution to it (i.e. isolated newer-k8s-in-older-k8s).
> How do you do those things without driving?

I typically walk. I take buses or trains if I need to go further than walking distance, which is fairly rare.

> Are you assuming everyone has access to effective and efficient public transportation?

That's usually what you'd build to get rid of cars, yes.
It's interesting to look at the forest plots on that page and only focus on RCTs, which are labeled. I cannot understand why someone would try to meta-analyze RCTs with observational studies when dozens of each exist. But this really hammers home (despite their misleading summary statistics at the top) that the evidence does not support an effect of HCQ on COVID-19.
> - &with/1 can be hellza confusing in many case if you're calling a bunch of functions, and any ol' one of them can return an error message (e.g. where the heck did `{:error, :bad_arg}` come from?!

You agree with the article on this point:

I'm 100% with you, but I know plenty of fairly computer-literate people who wouldn't know how to interpret a URL, and wouldn't know what to do with that information if they did.

I don't know how those two stances, or the positions between them, break down across the population, but at minimum it wouldn't surprise me to learn that it leans towards not understanding or caring.
That's true of most companies. Saying that you care about your people doesn't make it true.

Wireless bridges can be useful when you're trying to connect several devices through a single wireless link. Think about potentially having a whole room of devices all with a perfectly placed antenna instead of half a dozen antennas placed in compromised locations.
I wish people wouldn’t conflate not wanting to take this particular vaccine at this particular time with being “anti-vax”.

I am vaccinated. I vaccinate my kids and have done so as recently as a few months ago. I believe in vaccines.

But I’m not ready for this one yet. When it has gone through the same FDA approval process as would be used for any vaccine I will be first in line.

I don’t see why people are so offended by this view. I literally get seen as a crazy person simply for wanting to wait until the same standards have been applied.
I was in a server room that overheated and servers started to shut down. AC failed and there was no environmental monitoring.

The air was too hot to breathe.

I had to take and hold breath to jump in to shut down most important assets.

There was redundant air conditioning except for exactly one element: air inlet on the roof. A thin plastic bag blocked it.
I wasn’t asking out of that same motivation. I was just wondering how true it is that the body gets rid of all the components of the vaccine and simply retains the benefit of antibodies with no “vaccine remnants”.

Last time I tried Jellyfin (months ago), I couldn't get Live TV to work. I'm sure it does work, but the config wasn't straightforward. Once you have it working, you then have to figure out TV listings, and I don't think there's a good free way to do that in the US. I looked at the costs, and it seemed the same or more than just paying for a lifetime Plex Pass.

With Plex, it's literally plug and play - I don't think I had to configure anything to get the TV tuner card to work (other than to scan for channels). And its TV listings are pretty decent.

Plex certainly has its warts. But it's much less "trouble" than Jellyfin.

However, if all you want to do is stream media that's on your HD, and don't need fancy features (e.g. autodownloading subtitles), Jellyfin is probably good enough.
I found Kubeflow Pipelines to be worse than vanilla Argo. Not only is the documentation poor for the python DSL that gets compiled to the Argo workflow spec but some operations are downright impossible to express in the DSL. Vanilla Argo + RBAC works wonderfully especially with Argo Server since v3+.
There's this weird notion among directors, VPs and svps that any problem can be fixed with staffing. It just needs more staffing, no biggie. They just can't grasp that it could be done by motivation of existing engineers, lesser micromanagement and more inspiration.

When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Viruses mutate. Healthy humans won't stay healthy forever. The vaccines are not experimental.

The moral thing to do is protect idiots from their own stupidity because we value their lives still, but recently I'm questioning that.

Well then we have a sensational misleading title on our hands.

Yeah the whole nonsense about the vaccine cresting a new genome is ridiculous, it's sad that some people are buying it. Apparently even Mark Zuckerberg fell for it for a short while early on.
It's a concern, but if they go down, I can always switch to Jellyfin. I suppose I'll lose all the info on what stuff I've played and where I was in it - I should look into whether there's a way to import that into Jellyfin.

Not so arbitrary. If you are big and in the market Apple is not interested in, you are safe. Once Apple wants to step into that market, you should be careful (ex: spotify).
Ha, as much as I want simplicity, I don't miss switches and potentiometers with burned contacts that cause intermittent failure. I'd be happy with reliable optical encoders and properly embedded digital systems. The kind that can hum along for decades without maintenance...

Two problems:

1. You can't use that defense in one situation and ignore it in another

2. The thing you're mocking (abortion) has individual consequences, where the thing you're arguing against (vaccination) has community consequences

If you are the only viable human victim of the decision, then it is your body and your choice. But just like being a suicide bomber, it's the victims around you that have to be considered. I don't give a crap if you blow yourself up in the woods or in your garage, as long as you don't hurt anyone else.
"Human beings between the ages of 0 and 100" I'm guessing, which would make the comment false
The model only tests how oxygen and carbon dioxide replace each other, not nitrogen. So 50% of the 21% is oxygen, the other 50% is carbon dioxide.

Of course, it could be even worse, that carbon dioxide starts replacing the nitrogen behind the mask. More testing needed.

Healthcare isn't zero-sum. You aren't not going to receive healthcare because someone else is. Because we don't all get sick/injured at the same.

In any common sense Healthcare is most definitely not a limited resource. In fact, due to more preventative Healthcare options available it would definitely decrease the loads on hospitals.

See- every other developed nation with basic health care.
Really? :D I highly doubt that, as I personally did dabble with a bit of OpenGL and still know jackshit about GPUs. People are likely to overestimate their knowledge on things they know little about.
I’m USA born, have lived here my entire life, and have known what “being in a tizzy” meant since… 4th or 5th grade? I thought it was a relatively common word/phrase. I do read books though, but nothing fancy. Our literacy standards are apparently spiraling downward.

The problem with RSS is you can’t force sign up people without them realising.

Almost all newsletters are spam and should be treated as such.
It did go through the same FDA approval process as any vaccine. Full scale clinical trials then FDA review of the results. Getting an EUA means it skipped the normal months-long wait for the FDA to review it, not that it wasn't fully tested. We also now have more safety data on these vaccines than most vaccines ever get, thanks to over 2 billion doses administered worldwide, starting over 6 months ago. There is no real basis in science/risk for your stance.
For what it's worth, you aren't alone.

Democracy is inherently fragile; it only succeeds when you have a well-educated electorate interested in the good of the country as a whole, and a large enough percentage of the population with enough wealth that such things are maintainable.

Unfortunately for us in the states, the past several decades have been ones of increasing partisan bickering, and a loss of a collective sense of civic duty.

Median incomes have not kept up with the cost of living for close to 50 years, now, putting the squeeze on even having enough time to think about these things.

The zeitgeist on the internet isn't helping, and I think Sort by Controversial ( https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/10/30/sort-by-controversial/ ) is less fictional by the day.

These things are all bad news. That doesn't mean we're doomed, and I'm not fatalistic. There are lots of people who care, too.

And there is a lot of work to be done to shore up the foundations of our country. When I was younger, I lived in countries that did not have a functional civic apparatus. I do not want to see that here.
I am still remote but I think you are spot on.

I hate the office but I will be back in as many days as possible as soon as possible. I am not going to be part of an out-group to an in-group that contains the people who decide promotions.

I have no doubt the people who come back to the office the quickest and the most often will get better raises over the next few years on average vs THOSE remote people.

The dynamics here are pretty much face up.
Author here, thanks for sharing this. Let me know what you think.
I'm trying to connect the dots on research on expert advice and our fields 'thought-leaders'.

I remember how Jobs was „attacked“ in an interview for not supporting adobe flash. They said it was because of his history with adobe, but jobs repeated all the time that HTML5 is going to be the future and adobe flash is old technology that has no future.

I understand the critique about their app store policy. But if you don‘t like their policy, don‘t build a „business“ depending on it. Or find a way around it. But stop crying in public and play the victim. Be creative, just like the people who invented the things our businesses rely on.
the risks of vaccination are basically zero for everyone regardless of age group.

and the hospitalization rate of catching the virus are much higher than the death rate for 20 year olds. death rates drop off halving roughly every 8 years. hospitalization rates only half roughly every 16 years. so as a 20 year old you run ~1/200th of the risk of death as an 80 year, but you run 1/13th the risk of hospitalization compared to an 80 year old. that is still very non-zero.

there's literally no downside for any age group to getting the vaccination. even with 12-18 year old kids the risk of hospitalization and MIS-C is around 1-in-12,000 and the rate of side effects from the vaccines are much lower.

not to mention that we don't know how often the real virus triggers things like type 1 diabetes in kids and things that they'll carry around for the rest of their lives (which we expect to happen because other viruses cause them, and SARS-CoV-2 against completely naive immune system with no inherited T-cells is almost certain to be worse).
Dear Linus, you're not a doctor. Coronaviruses are known from about 70-ties. They cause about 40‰ illness cases similar to flu. It is a known fact. It is also known fact they can easily attack their previous host too. That's why no coronavirus vaccines were injected since 70-ties. Technology barrier was not the issuse. There were also no vacciness during SARS and MERS. It is also known fact that about 80% of people has no signs of illness after the contact with the virus. Don't panic. Stop spread the propaganda. Vaccination won't stop spreading the virus. Peope are not the only host for Sars-Cov-2. Go back to school.
