It's not exactly the same, since the only mandatory vaccine I'm aware of is the one against measles, a very infectious disease which can kill kids and batter adults. It has sequelae which can appear years later. The vaccine has been in use for a long time and is well understood.

So as long as it can be ensured that the unvaccinated won't infect others (e.g. through testing), they should not be forbidden from participating in society. This is not justified by the current course of the pandemic. Maybe if we discover in a few months that the vaccines don't work any more because of the low vaccination rates this becomes more critical.
The expression itself is fine, but the original (something like "Free software isn't worth the hassle of forking over") was a confusing collision of terms. It took me a while to work out what meaning they intended. I'm generally relaxed about alternative grammar.

I've been looking at cryptocurrencies that add (more) value to society through their proof of work/stake mechanisms.
Currently I found FoldingCoin[0] and CureCoin[1], but I cant seem to work out what the difference between the two is.

Is one of these particularly better?

Are there other likeminded currencies that are easily mined?

There's also SolarCoin[2], however it requires installing solar panels to mine.

1. I have had some incredible Kabuli pilau. I hope everyone gets the chance to have some. There are quite a few restaurants in the Bay Area that serve it, but homemade is best in my experience.

2. Spotted dick is a cake (steamed?) with currants… at least the stuff I had. Delicious.

3. No idea about toad in the hole. It better be good with that name.
There is a huge difference between "incredibly carcinogenic" and "potentially carcinogenic".

Basically everything that comes out of a pan or fryer and is even slightly darker than "basically raw" will have some carcinogenic compounds. Frying any biomatter will create some measurable quantity of carcinogens, depending on the temperature and composition. First you will get the likes of Acrylamide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. Furan), Amines. In the presence of salt, spices, certain oils you can get even nastier stuff like Dioxines. And if you heat it even further, getting a few black spots, you are left with basic carbon. Even that isn't harmless, carbon modifications that you will produce in some minute quantity, like nanotubes and fullerenes, are carcinogenic.

Denaturing hydrocarbons like in cooking will inevitably produce some of the above compounds, there is no way around it. You can try to avoid producing some of them by carefully steering conditions in a way that reduces some of the above compounds. But usually that increases the risk of other ones being produced. You can also undercook everything, but then you'll be left with unsafe food because of the bacterial risk.

All of the above are carcinogenic in (comparatively) huge quantities. Usually "in mice". The link to cancers caused by preparation of food is vague at best, totally speculative at worst. I don't worry about it, and neither should you.

If you really want to learn about risky foodstuff, read up about cyanide in almonds and other fruits with a stone (people even eat that stuff "for health reasons"..., e.g. https://www.webmd.com/cancer/cancer-apricot-seeds ), coumarin (basically an anticoagulant, in higher doses rat poison) in cinnamon, tonka beans and woodruff, and the funny flourinated compounds you get from overheated PTFE-coated cookware (the presence of acid lowers the "fun" temperature but at least might prevent production of gaseous hydroflouric acid). There, the risky dose is much much much closer to the usual kitchen use. In comparison, all of the kitchen cancer scare is harmless.
"Only the truth is funny" -- Rick Reynolds, comedian

From https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/seasonal-influenza/facts/quest...

> The infectious period varies a bit from person to person but it is considered that an adult with flu starts being able to pass on the infection from during the day before their symptoms appear and then they remain potentially infectious for three to five days. The start is probably the same for children but it is often stated that it runs on for up to seven days after onset.

> However, the risk to others is not constant throughout. Infectiousness rises steeply when the person starts feeling unwell and that is when he or she is most dangerous to others. The risk of catching influenza from someone even just before they become ill and after the end of the first three days is quite low.

I have to disagree here. I have diabetes and have the two shots already. My wife is pregnant and we decided not to risk it with the shots. Impact on pregnant women and babies is still not known. Some trials have started, but you can't just say it's been exceptionally well studied.

Astrazeneca did cause blood clot in some people who ended up dead. Yes, it's a very tiny fraction but this goes against what people are claiming to be the perfect cure.

I personally believe people should have the choice to take the shot.
What does 'tumblehome' mean? The document you linked does not contain the word.
There are many ways you can force your population or employees to be less fat.

Google could ban fatties from coming into the office incentivising fat loss, you could force fat people to self isolate or not allow them to travel, also to incentivise healthy loving and make it shameful to contribute to the obesity epidemic.

This is all ridiculous, but the moral logic would be similar. The same is true for driving and weapons, which are dangerous.

Opportunities are not only measured in money and fame. Some people simply want a job to finance their private life, and no, that's not a millennial thing.

Others, simply don't want to spend three to six hours commuting every day, or work in an open office environment. There's probably hundreds of other reasons for working from home as well.

Spending a quarter of your life commuting, a third of your working hours being constantly interrupted by others in the office, up to a week per year sick because you catch some bug from various co-workers who don't dare call in sick for the fear of the repercussions, well, that's not how you get the job done either.

This is a liquidity event. Why are you surprised that people are selling?

Even if the IPO didn't pop as much people would still probably be selling because their equity has likely been illiquid for years, especially if they were a founder, early investor or early employee.
While Turing complete, and not merely in a highly technical, obtuse way (e.g. C++ templates), m4 nonetheless doesn't work well with dynamic or arbitrary inputs. I'm sure you can make it work using extensions like GNU Make's esyscmd and some preprocessing, but it would be ugly and even more impenetrable than typical recursive string interpolation code. To reimplement complex software you'd probably end up implementing a tiny VM in m4 and then targeting the VM. Though, I suppose m4 is far more accommodating in this regard than, e.g., ed or sed.

IOW, m4 is really only suited for fairly straight-forward static input-output transformations, such as common templating tasks. These transformations can themselves become quite complex and even convenient to implement (put your functional programming hat on), but once you stray from recursive string interpolation on lists of simple tokens sourced from statically defined input the ergonomics break down immediately.
This is a good step.

A certain green website wasn't always full of racism, this was done deliberately.

If you go back further Nick Broomfield did some documentaries in the 90s / early 00s where he went to various white supremacists, even then they were saying their plan was to go mainstream through various tactics, what happened on the green website fits almost exactly with this.

> most vaccines developed in the recent past have either been recombinant, attenuated/inactivated viruses or adenovirus vectored vaccines

If you list every other type of vaccine other than mRNA, then yes the majority of vaccines are one of those. I mean, you even listed adenovirus which is extremely new and only used in covid & ebola vaccines, which makes me suspect you don't actually care about the underlying technology or know much about it.

> This is especially true for the vaccines required for schooling.

The start of that movement was with the smallpox vaccine, which was quite a dangerous vaccine as far as vaccines go. Seems a weird comparison to make.

I have been reading comments here and I'm honestly terrified how easily people are throwing judgmental or plain rude comments calling names on other people who exercise their right to make a choice - whatever the choice is.

How easily are many falling into the trap of "common good" - please think about it, almost a century ago there was a time in one country in Europe where one nation was called to spread plague, only a few years later this nation was put to gas chambers. We are going to face the same situation very soon.

If you won't have respect to the other side you will see terror, and you will always find nice and round argument to justify that terror. Seeing how much of hatred is spread in this "technical" forum I must say, the time of terror is very near.

I wouldn't bet on it. Which is a good thing if you ask me. Because without mandatory vaccinations we will prolong this shitty thing for another year, this time at the cost of children and people under 16, while we had the elderly taking the brunt of the cost so far. And all that because as a society we came to a point where we refuse to take one for the team. Not to mention we ignore our own personal health.

You pay when you buy the home. But the point is you didn't have to pay it at all if you bought between last July and the end of this month (unless buying a very expensive house). Meaning (or so I thought) a big rush on housing and a big increase in house prices.
I like seeing reflections of creators’ personalities in code. It’s a little reminder to not take myself so seriously, to remember that these artificial systems called computers were totally created by humans and finally, that creativity in code is one of the human essences imbued in these systems.

I wonder if AI’s will create Easter eggs in their creations? Would they see them as a form of play, or only as a form of waste? What would that say about the eventual differences between a human and an artificial mind?
There's nothing selfish about not wanting to undergo a medical procedure to help strangers. A vaccine is first and foremost a method for protecting oneself and one's family from disease.

The only critical aspect of this situation is that there are kids and people who can't get the vaccine. It would be great if we could protect them and people who work with kids/medical personnel should be obligated to get the vaccine with full reimbursement in case of side-effects.
We should absolutely work to have healthier indoors climate through filtering, venting, etc. And I think we should all wear masks when e.g. going to the doctor or in public transport. But none of that will happen, we'll probably continue to spit on each-other and breathe stale air.

Not OP but if he has not gotten it so far with his lifestyle in 16+ months then it could be easy to think you won't get it for another 16+.

Other's just don't care, me for example. I lived in a heavily lockdown country and then said fuck it, travelled to somewhere with (near) 0 covid rules and went nightclubbing almost daily till I got it. Wasn't that bad for me. And my preference is to have it again than being coerced into putting something I don't want into my body.

If my employer makes that decision for me, then that is fucked up and I am quitting, or better yet, questioning the legality of it.
Via capitalism, Jeff Bezos and I decide the future of e-commerce. "We" make decisions when I buy socks and Bezos chooses how best to sell them to me. "We" are good.

Also, Kim Jong-un and his people make decisions collectively: Kim suggests something and when his people agree (or just don't die), decisions materialize! These decisions are collective because nothing would happen if Kim acts alone.

Wait. Maybe "collective" does not mean "multiple people working together" but cooperating towards common and mutual benefits. Those who cannot afford not to work for those who owns the capital don't make a "collective" with those who own them and decide how things must be (e.g how much Amazon can pay less tax than individuals and small businesses). Also, democracy is more than a word: when you have no choice but to vote for candidates who support billionaires, there's no "collective" behind the election either.

Source for which part? The numbers of NYC's infections and death rates, or that practically all covid-related deaths right now happen in patients who are not vaccinated?
I believe this goes way beyond the fear of vaccination. There is rampant distrust in many of our institutions and I would argue this isn't unfounded. We are witnessing profound and fundamental issues that go beyond what some perceive as antiscience and/or racist sentiments.

All this is being compounded by technology in many different ways. Everyone has the ability to create their own version of Malleus Maleficarum and publish it to the world in an instant. Social media, especially with the lockdowns, has demonstrated the limits of our evolutionary biology. Twitter often reminds me of a very crude form of the Babel fish from THHGTG[0]. It's going to take more than love and respect to overcome the effects of the virus and the response to it.

I don't understand the concept of fairness when we're talking about something that has killed more Americans than every war since the Civil War combined. I would consider every death caused by the asymptomatic much more unfair than someone having to pay for a charter school for the luxury of being a liability to the general public every time they step outside their home.

Every one of us will end up having to pay for the problems caused by 1/3rd the population feeling they have the right to risk my life because of unfounded fears. If said people were so worried about their life, they would do the same risk analysis lots of us did. It's very clear that COVID is more likely to fuck me up than the vaccine.

And if it turns out the data was a result of every first world country in the world coordinating amongst themselves to spread an insanely damaging lie telling us exactly the opposite of the truth, we have much much worse problems.
I'm so pissed off that my European tax money is wasted on financing bullshit like that.

In my day, nobody would sweat this trivial stuff. You need to travel for work, big deal! It's always been this way! Nowadays there are so many good easy jobs in the city, so many forms of public transport... It's never been easier.

In my day, people would go to work every day no matter how sick they were. Nobody bat an eyelash over this. You just soldier on and get the job done! The work isn't going to do itself! Somebody has to get the food out of the ground, package it, keep the supply chains running smoothly, etc...

That said, I’m making far fewer YAML changes these days than I used to. I’m doing almost everything via their UI so maybe I need to consider how much I actually need source control now vs just having solid backups.

Originally I was against their move from YAML config to the more user friendly GUI approach but I have to admit it’s a lot easier to make quick on-the-fly changes to my automations these days. I’m begrudgingly coming around to the idea of not firing up VS Code every time I want to tweak something!
