With the NHS you need to "play" the system a bit unfortunately. The key is finding a great GP and asking for him/her by name when getting an appointment. There are a lot of terrible GPs out there and if you just listen to them you may get screwed. If you have a good GP (I would recommend looking up the practice and figuring the head GP there and then asking for him/her by name) the healthcare system is pretty good. Yes specialist referrals can take a while, but again if you have a good relationship with your GP they will be able to expedite it for you.

It's definitely not the same as the German system for example where every minor issue gets a million tests and multiple specialists, but usually that isn't needed. If you feel you need that and want to spend thousands on private appointments with specialists it is not going to be a good system for you. FWIW I've never ever heard of anyone that hasn't had loads of ultrascans in pregnancy. That is not normal at all.
It pains me to wonder how anyone did network troubleshooting on AWS before they built this tool. AWS networking is so abstracted that you can't even run a traceroute to find out how packets flow through your VPC setup.
This is fallacious thinking. It would be a huge effort, practically and legally, to increase the occupancy rate of existing dwellings from its already extremely high level of over 97% to something like 99%. It is way easier, cheaper, and more practical to attack the denominator instead.

I doubt many people really want obnoxious drones flying through their neighborhood anyway. I know we already have cars and trucks which are noisy and potentially hazardous, so maybe people would just get used to drones too - but drones are just inherently unsettling at some basic level. I'm not sure why.
So are you saying that even if the bad actors found out how the secret sauce works, they would not be able to spoof a legit page? In other words, is the obscurity in the CV part purely for competitive reasons, or does it also serve a security purpose?
I would ask you to think through the logistics of managing any of your proposed solutions when you don't have a safe place to sleep or store your stuff.

Instructions like

1) leave your stuff some place out of your control

2) somehow get to a parking lot where people pick up day workers

3) hang out with day laborers hoping to get a job

4) get in a random truck on the promise that someone will pay you

5) get driven some place to do a job

6) do the job

7) assume they'll take you back where they got you

8) assume they'll pay you what they promised in cash

9) get back to my stuff, hope it is still there

10) hope that I can store my cash some place safe

11) of course, don't forget you're doing this with basically no sleep, unhealthy food, no good place to poop, no reliable place to wash, etc. For months at a time.

And of course do that for a couple months or years without having anything terrible happen to you until you save up enough to rent a place?

That doesn't seem like a realistic plan.

This is definitely part of it, but I feel like it underplays the fundamental difficulty of studying nutrition.

Put yourself in the shoes of someone who wants to study this, and you rapidly see the problems. Effects of nutrition take many years to show, so you're generally going to need to track people for years. People move, get bored of talking to you, die, etc. Their diet also varies greatly over time. They don't always remember what they ate, and certainly can't quantify it with any degree of accuracy.

If you perform some intervention, it's hard to know that the people actually complied with it. You can do it in the short term by having an in-patient setting, but again you miss the long term effects, which are really what matters to most people.

I feel like people reach too easily for conspiracy theories these days…

Grass. I believe oats and seed is fairly recent development. Historically, you had animals grazing by rotating pastures, or consuming dried grass (hay) when you couldn’t graze (eg winter).

Also interesting tidbit — apparently horses of modern sizes cannot eat grass fast enough to sustain their size. They require the higher calorie density of oats and such. Horses that get back into the wild apparently quickly revert to much smaller sizes with a couple generations (according to acoup.net, which I never verified further)

The vaccine doesn’t keep people from spreading delta because it’s not a sterilizing vaccine[1][2]. It’s strange there was that big concern over asymptotic spread and the response was to administer an intervention that greatly increases asymptotic cases.

the alert(), confirm(), and prompt() themselves interrupt normal browsing, so I'm not sure what you mean here. They're synchronous so block the main thread, but they also block other user interactions until they're dismissed, so what would be the benefit in leaving normal browsing unaffected if the user cannot browse anyway?

No it doesn't; you are not having fundamental rights such as free movement abolished. Now have another go at comprehending the analogy now that its basic mechanics have been explained to you in simple terms and consider that your inability to grasp the analogy demonstrates a moral or intellectual (or both) failing on your part that you seriously need to address. You are demanding the abolition of the right to free movement, god only knows what you'll want next.

I think you're misunderstanding the response.

There is no "healthy diet" that is universally applicable. Go back and look at the list of different possible restrictions in the parent post.

Then add the fact that many people are allergic to all kinds of different things.

Then add to that the fact that people of different ethnic backgrounds are adapted to do better with different balances of nutrients.

Any "hypothetical person" such as you describe would, fundamentally and inevitably, "normalize" one specific type of person and "other" everyone else. Claiming that "this is a healthy diet" in such a way would be grossly irresponsible, even if you then went on to list the features of a person it is "healthy" for.

Finally, even if you wanted to make such a description, the whole point of this thread is that we do not have a scientifically-rigorous-enough idea of what it would be to be able to do so with a high degree of certainty, even for a clearly-defined set of parameters for who would be eating it.

Well said. It's stunning how ignorant Google is about the web. The vast majority of the web is old and poorly maintained or not maintained at all. It relies on things not breaking, web tech being backwards compatible.

I’m a healthy 25 year old. I think simple QALY metrics for me getting the vaccine or risking getting COVID naturally are roughly even (the COVID side fluctuates as the chance of getting the virus changes) at around a 1e-6 chance of serious complications. The AstraZeneca vaccine seems to have a slightly higher chance of complications.

These simple, individualised analyses are about the extent of what public health authorities may do when deciding on the safety or benefits of a treatment. However they exclude other advantages to being a person with a vaccine:

- maybe some of your friends are being very cautious about the virus (for rational or irrational reasons) and being your vaccinated means more meaningful interactions with them

- maybe your employer lets vaccinated people return to the office (and you want to return). Or maybe there are other things that require vaccines (when I went up to university I had to confirm that I’d had a bunch of vaccines, for example)

- maybe you want to be altruistic and reduce the risk you cause to other people

- better ability to travel internationally

- if everyone does it then there is less of an ability for further mutations to develop

I mostly understand why health authorities are limited, and perhaps those simple statistics are the right thing to communicate to the public. But I think in our society as it is, getting the vaccine is still +ve EV for young people.

> You're somehow OK with being required to wear clothes, which provide almost no protection from anything, but not OK with being asked to show that you're an unlikely COVID carrier/spreader?

So natural immunity should be included then? I hear all these arguments but then people pretend like natural immunity is not a thing. Sure maybe it isn’t as effective as a vaccine (though some argue it is better), but it definitely makes you at least unlikely to spread.

I might believe this isn’t just a huge power grab and people are actually concerned with the health of individuals, if folks would acknowledge “the science” of natural immunity.

Saying it isn’t as good as vaccine means nothing, because we are only trying to eliminate more likely spreaders, not any statistical chance of spreading.
> Why would a company pay more than they need to?

Remember BlackBerry? Local comp, prevailing wages, "competitive offer" from the "local market". Good relationships with local colleges. No stocks.

A competitor (Apple) paying much more got pretty much all the kids from the schools around Blackberry to apply there first and then go to BlackBerry if they didn't qualify.

Blackberry didn't get acquired. It just got crushed.

But the company was right, it didn't need to pay more to attract local "talent".
I wonder what the stats were on weight of packages vs required drone weight. Ie where is the cutoff of package weight, to ensure that the money they invest in drones would affect X percent of sales?

Eg i imagine if they made drones for a package weight of, say, 10 ounces, they could.. hopefully, make smaller drones and perhaps have an easier time with regulations. However the package size limit is so small that the drones aren't likely worth it.

So as we increase package weight, we include more packages and percentage of sales... but also increase drone size and regulatory issues.

I imagine there isn't a "sweet spot" otherwise they would have done it. Nevertheless i'm curious what that axis looked like.
Plus/Increment/Add 1 month, does have one single meaning, it's that the outcome may be invalid that is the issue.

"2021-01-31".plus(unit="Month", size=1) => "2021-02-31"

But nobody really wants that, because it's not a valid date. So implicitly the library is deciding to return a valid date.

A library could be written to just provide invalid dates, and let the end user handle any errors. That library could also include an explicit validation method that takes a date and returns a valid one.

"2021-02-31".coerceToValid() => "2021-02-28" // Overflow == Max

"2021-02-31".coerceToValid(asDays=True) => "2021-03-03" // Overflow Carries (to the right)

In fact the library, that provides an ignorant response and no contract on validity would hold to the associative property, it just wouldn't be as ergonomic.

Surprised no one has mentioned Morning Brew: https://www.morningbrew.com/daily
If you look up how gdp is measured, you will find that they measure the total of transactions for the final consumer, for exactly the reasons I’ve listed.

From the IMF:

“ Theoretically, GDP can be viewed in three different ways:

The production approach sums the “value-added” at each stage of production, where value-added is defined as total sales less the value of intermediate inputs into the production process. For example, flour would be an intermediate input and bread the final product; or an architect’s services would be an intermediate input and the building the final product.

● The expenditure approach adds up the value of purchases made by final users—for example, the consumption of food, televisions, and medical services by households; the investments in machinery by companies; and the purchases of goods and services by the government and foreigners.

● The income approach sums the incomes generated by production—for example, the compensation employees receive and the operating surplus of companies (roughly sales less costs).”

So, sorry but you are mistaken about this, I’ve been trying to get you to understand this but you’re not paying attention. So in my hot dog example, you’re not supposed to count anything as gdp other than the final sale to the person who ate the hot dog. Or you can measure it one of the other two ways listed but you’ll get the same answer.
Yup. Zipline in Rwanda and Ghana have made over 150,000 commercial drone deliveries. And have done so safely. (Their autonomous winged drones have a range of over 300km on a charge.) https://www.morningbrew.com/emerging-tech/stories/2021/06/30...

Only token demonstration projects in the US, unfortunately.
My former startup got Jersey City to draft legislation that fully paved the way for delivery drone to operate in the city, they even went as far as to have the FAA clear their draft legislation, basically on the premise that drone companies would take it seriously, talked to Prime Air and they just shrugs and said sorry, not interested.

If you’re vaccinated, risk from the Delta variant is probably long-haul Covid
I had all these concerns prior to this announcement. I wouldn't say all of those are now gone. However I must point out that the vaccine, at least in the US, is not being hoarded by the elite and wealthy. It is in most urban areas being made as readily available as possible. NYC even started providing a pre-paid $100 debit card which offsets time lost from work for those who could not afford that. Perhaps I am missing it - what sort of divide is being drawn?
That's exactly the problem. This will be linked to a central authority that then will be able to record all you travel and activity. Able to turn it off and geo-fence you. Social Credit system for the west.
I think of life as dynamic. There are limits of course - it's taken billions of years for life to operate in the vacuum of space but it really does seem like part of the definition life should be that it spreads. I'm confident that you too move around.
> If you suffer from high blood pressure (above 140/90mm Hg) and your sodium intake is considerable, your blood pressure rises even more. You can easily set up a study with a control group and test it repeatedly, the results will be the same.

How do you square this with jonasmerlin's sibling post of a Scientific American article, pointing out that the foundations of this belief do not stand on rigorous science?
I came across this problem once before and came to the same conclusion. “A month” is an ill-defined unit, so I just don’t allow it to be representable in datetime arithmetic. You make the point that “1 day” would also fall under this category, but it’s less variable and so it being equal to “24 hours” is good enough.
The thirty-year trajectory of MS vs. Linux argues in my favor, I think, but being wrong is nothing new.
