What point is this article trying to make? Dollar Generals and Family Dollars are not "dollar stores".

The data doesn't align with their conclusions; the article even admits that "Five Below", which are basically toy stores where everything is exactly $5, aren't "technically dollar stores", so clearly they must know that Dollar Generals and Family Dollars aren't either, which makes the whole headline fall apart.

Is this nextcity.org a political advocacy organization or something?
> But everything we know about existing respiratory viruses (and indications so far this year) suggest antibodies will wane.

Not necessarily the case. Infections with HCoV-229E produces durable immunity and reinfection is due to antigenic drift:

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.17.423313v1

That it at odds with prior studies that found ~12 month reinfections with coronaviruses, but it is with considerably better methodology.

And it is simultaneously: not clear that vaccines produce sterilizing immunity, not clear it is necessary to do that at all, and not clear if how much measurements of NAbs correlates with sterilizing immunity.

I can tell you a story about how delta reaches 90-100% thresholds of herd immunity in this wave and burns itself out and we don't see it much again for 3-5 years in countries like the US/UK. Or I can tell you a story about how it keeps coming back every year with 2 or 3 waves. Anyone who tells you they know which of those outcomes must be correct probably knows a lot less about virology than they think they do (even if they have a degree). I'm reasonably hopeful its the former, but I never predicted delta and thought we'd be virus-free this summer and was wrong.

Even in the worst case though the vaccinated/recovered are never going back to 2019 levels of susceptibility to severe outcomes, so we're looking at a steady drip-drip-drip of people killing themselves to avoid vaccination up until we get bored with that and they pretty much disappear (that's where T-cells and B-cells and cross reactive partial immunity to all future variants comes in).
Does Amazon refuse to deliver to homes in the town you're familiar with? Doesn't help with produce since not everywhere has same-day Amazon Fresh I guess (and Amazon's isn't very good compared to store alternatives in the Bellevue, WA area), but it hasn't occurred to me to buy basic office/school supplies, OTC medical stuff, or many other things from a store instead of Amazon for a long time.

We have all that, just without Hitler in power. At least in the US anyway, the government has access, should it become necessary, to a comprehensive catalog of your activities and communications. It's just that they should get a warrant before accessing it, which I'm not naive enough to believe that they do in all cases.

The ship already sailed on the whole "ubiquitous gaze" thing.

There isn't any evidence that screen time negatively impacts teen's well being: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-018-0506-1
Why? Well, because they have a false agenda to push. A comparison against similar countries is harmful to that agenda. No other reason.
On the flip side, having a monoculture is good because you made more eyes looking at the same piece of code.
> they get declined if your account is empty too AFAIK but haven't tested it ;P

Not always, at least some banks will allow you to go into overdraft and then charge a fee (e.g. $15 for Commbank) - so it's worth being cautious about running out.

I remember miscalculating and going into overdraft by a very small amount (e.g. a dollar or two) and then being slugged the overdraft fee - I would've much preferred the transaction to be declined, but that isn't/wasn't the default behaviour.

For example: https://www.commbank.com.au/support.banking.explain-account-... -> `CommBank may allow you to overdraw transaction accounts for the following payment types... Spend using your linked CommBank card`

(It used to be enabled by default with Commbank, not sure if that's still the case; but I'd kinda guess "yes"...)

– Back-end Engineer: Python/Django. Help us get our backends ready for more scale and new features. We're currently typing our entire codebase and improving our test coverage but have some fun projects coming up.

– Full-stack Engineer (Growth): Python/Typescript. Help us continue to grow by finding both technical and product opportunities, running AB tests, and working closely with our data science and marketing teams.

If you're interested in what we're doing, send us an email to hiring@sokanu.com with a résumé/GitHub and let's chat!
How could the OP possibly know how interested other people are in spaceflight? They did exactly as much, by claiming they were as interested as the average nerd.
>dispatch explicitly warns the officer that the guy has said threatening things about police on social media.

In which case the dispatcher should be charged with murder too, just like the officer has been.

http://www.stanislaus-da.org/pdf/news/2021/press-release-202...

The "warning" was based on an "officer safety bulletin" that was issued in response to Instagram posts, which I'm willing to accept was the result of a complaint (possibly someone namesearching for "MPD," we don't know). The police actually visited and interviewed him before determining that there was no threat. The original notice was rescinded and reissued saying he wasn't a threat. I haven't been able to find more detail, but it would seem the dispatcher took it upon themselves to relay the original bulletin. :shrug: It'll come out in the transcripts.

It seems to me that--unless you have other info--the police weren't tracking people so much as acting on complaints. I think we can conclude this was not information that appeared as part of the car computer, since the dispatcher thought it necessary to add to it.

I have issues with the idea of "officer safety bulletins" based on Constitutionally-protected activities, but that's a different story.
It’s an interesting point, and I’m relatively neutral on all the underlying empirical claims. But taking the assumptions as a given, doesn’t this violate the Hippocratic Oath?

Physicians are ethically forbidden from recommending a medical treatment that’s a harm to the patient, even if it’s in the interest of society.
I don't get the sense that the author is trying to say that the past was better. Although I could be misreading you and you're not intending to say that he is. I suppose this is another consequence of getting old.
I like it.

I would like Republicans to stop stealing citizens' votes, first, ideally.
Totally, it always bugs me when people complain that Linux is too technical and fragmented and that this way it'll never be mainstream. Who cares, really. I like having all this choice. In fact I'm using FreeBSD (though it could as well have been Linux) as daily driver because I don't get these kind of choices in mainstream software. I don't care if it never gets big, if it did I probably wouldn't want it anymore.

For example Ubuntu is getting very close to that point already. They stuff lots of stuff in it that I don't want (like snaps) and make them really hard to disable completely. Exactly the kind of thing I left Windows and Mac for (as daily drivers - I still use them for my work)

The Earth's rotation is complicated. See https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/global-warming-cha... for how global warming is theoretically speeding up the Earth's rotation (melting ice causes land to rise at the poles, and moving rock turns out to be more important than water migrating from pole to equator) and https://phys.org/news/2015-12-scientists-reveal-rotation-ear... for how interactions of the core, mantle and crust are currently slowing the day down.
This is NOT bullshit. Do you live in SF? I live right next to the CVS/Walgreens that are targeted in Soma and I can guarantee you you'll see someone robbing them blind if you stay in there for about 1 hour in there.

I go in there to buy something small once in a while and 1 out of 4 times I see some guy just grabbing and walking out while the security watches him steal right before their eyes.
Seconded. I made the step a few months ago, too; I turned off all "last seen" and "read"-notifications as well as uninstall my mail client from my phone [0]. I also intentionally did not respond as fast (at least on cold conversation starts). Once people get used to the fact that you might not respond in a few hours, they stop worrying so much about it when it happens.

[0] I know I still have IMs, but mails tend to be things I need to do at a computer and seeing them only stresses me with things to do for later.
Right, hints can only tell the database to use features it already has, they don't add new features on the fly.

I think the hints discussion is interesting, but not relevant to this particular article.
Perhaps this tilts exceptionally to the Man-Made side, but it is a welcome contrast to the usual media approve drivel.

Whatever may be found or not found, it's totally unacceptable to let China off the hook for its coverup. It's one of the reasons I refuse to take the vaccine. Politics was played, and I'm not playing that game.

You want total vaccine uptake? Root up the source of the virus with every muscle and force the US government can mister so this doesn't happen again. I'm not taking multiple vaccines for multiple pandemics.

Only when I'm confident this virus is naturally evolved or China and the scientific community have paid a steep price will I get in line and take the shot.

It's not about you or me or the hospital system. It's about making sure this doesnt happen again.

No sense defeating this pandemic and moving on just to have another lab derived virus escape in 2 or 5 years.
There's a swath of people who have adopted the position that it's best to let industry be the primary agent of regulation, largely for ideological political reasons. As we saw with the MAX debacle, such a position is foolish, as companies will always be cravenly willing to cut corners in the interest of short term profits.

This is one of the biggest political changes I've gone through. In my early 20s I was much more sympathetic to what I'd now call naive libertarianism. Today I realize there's no magic bullet, and you need healthy leadership in both the private and public spheres. Ideally the two buttress each other against their individual flaws. However in the US the process of regulatory capture has hijacked this ideal.

We won't be able to fix it unless we vote in politicians who see this as a top priority. We get the quality of government we ask for.
I think the best way to save the planet is to move heavy industry into space. Move our power generation into space and beam it down. Make advanced technologies in space which benefit those on Earth. Move people into real orbital habitats.

Make Earth proper a gigantic park / nature reserve.

We can't "wait" for anything, or the window during which we can develop space travel will close. 10 or 100 years from now we might no longer have the motivation or the means to fund and build new vechicles like these.
Yep, I know someone who went to one of the Euro matches. They got covid, and they also said that the facebook groups for supporters were absolutely full of people who had also gotten covid.
You don't need to spend that much.

Get a used Nikkor ED Ai-S 180/2.8 or a Nikkor ED Ai-S 300/4.5 if you want to do the California nebula. Either should cost you under $200 if you're patient and good at eBay.

The bigger issue for the California nebula (specifically) might be that most of its light is at a narrow band of 656 nm which gets blocked off by stock consumer cameras; you might need to mod your camera's IR filter.

If you want an entry-level target, get either of the above lenses and image M31 (Andromeda galaxy) instead, which is visually of similar size to the California nebula anyway. Andromeda can be imaged easily with an unmodified camera. I always recommend Andromeda as a good entry level target for people after they've gotten bored of the Milky Way.

The most important thing will be to get a tracker, good sturdy tripod, and get to a dark place like a national park or national forest.
"Few if any had all of these factors."

The UK certainly doesn't have all of them for a start.

The lock-downs had high levels of compliance, just a lot of people moaning from their sofa (or whatever soapbox they have available, reach varies greatly, inversely with intelligence in many cases).

Population density, travel hub, obesity levels, delayed first lock-down would be my list.

A nation’s digital currency would still suffer from the threat of inflated supply, whenever politically expedient.

Also, most countries don’t want to use their own currency as reserve because they don’t have scale globally.

And they would prefer not to be beholden to giants like the US or Europe where they may have little sway and are vulnerable to financial system coercion - standard foreign policy for the US.

Bitcoin does not suffer (or suffers less) from those problems.
The nation with the largest amount of military force and nuclear weapons, as well as control of the globally used & prized currency ($ USD), and even the universal language of the skies (well, maybe you could say it's England's language, but the central power of the U.S. is the reason it's the language of the skies), has around 1/3rd of it's nation that actively would like to see at least an other 1/3 of it's nation die, and said other 1/3 really only wants to get things like nationwide enforcement of basic human rights (like in all other, I think, 32 of 33 highly developed nations do), and to actually embody the meaning of "welfare state" that the U.S. has been defined as for... idk how long tbh, but for quite some time - Along with a want for the aforementioned 1/3rd not wanting to literally kill them.

And they're simply unable to come to any understanding, after decades of botched discourse.

The Chinese central government was always really ambivalent about foreign IPOs. DiDi has too much control over domestic markets for the Chinese to be comfortable with foreign influence. I don't think it has anything to do with the anniversary.

Actually, the CCP never formally accepted the foreign stock ownership structure, for example. It was always a grey area.

Alternatively we could take this as a chance to re-frame some of the dysfunctional pre-existing cultural norms around respiratory infection. Especially the widespread notion that only wimps and slackers use sick days.
We don't know, do we?

We never would have even looked for a magnetic-line slope-angle sense without inventing compasses, and then also understanding the structure of the earth's magnetic field. Likewise, we only understood echolocation after we invented it; before, we had no clue any animal used it. Octopods have no sense of joint angle. Some bugs taste what they walk on.

Thinking the only interesting phenomena in the universe are ones we already know about, or know something useful to do with, is akin to the fundamental failing of TFA.
I really like F# for this, it's like Haskell-lite
Slaves were (are!) humans. Slavery has nothing to do with killing or not killing non-human animals, because it doesn't affect non-human animals, it affects other humans.

There is just no sensible comparison that can be drawn between what we do to other animals and what we do to other humans and once more I'm struck by the surrealism of the positions taken in this kind of conversation. It's as if the obvious has to be stated at every turn: non-human animals are not human. Humans are human. We live in a civilisation built by humans, for humans, that only makes any sense (in asmuch as it does) to humans, not to other animals and it makes no sense to try and treat non-human animals as humans, any more than it makes sense to try and treat humans as non-human animals.

> You are also speculating, but simply about different things. You're speculating about harm from the vaccine,

No, I've provided evidence of that. It's not speculation: young boys are seeing disproportionate levels of vaccine-induced myocarditis

> One way to avoid going down that speculation rabbithole is to defer to experts whose job it is to weigh the pros and cons and crunch the numbers

Indeed, that's all I've done here.

> "The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends vaccinating all children ages 12 and older who are eligible for the federally authorized COVID-19 vaccine."

We're talking about kids under 12.

> "CDC recommends everyone 12 years and older should get a COVID-19 vaccination to help protect against COVID-19."

We're talking about kids under 12.

> Experts, including those at Johns Hopkins, believe that the benefits of being vaccinated for COVID-19 outweigh the risks.

And other experts disagree with those experts (the ones I linked to, above). Now what?

That's the problem with blind appeals to authority...you can always find another authority. I'm getting pretty tired of seeing news reporters credulously using the phrase "experts say", and applying no critical thought to what they're actually saying.

In this case, you can find legitimate "experts" on both sides of the debate, and both deserve to be heard.
