I don't think CNN is what we should use as "evidence".

If you look at any of the research, the US has effectively the same survival rate of an emergency admission or elective surgery as the rest of the world (within a small margin).

This doesn't even control other items such as age, violence, body weight, pre-existing conditions, etc etc. Arguably the U.S. has a bigger issue with weight, which would indicate the U.S. healthcare system may be slightly more robust.

I'm not saying it's perfect, but I'd avoid diving into political leaning pundits -- common wealth fund and CNN are both political pundits. Looking at the raw data it is not as clear.

Even this is political, but it's more clear: https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/quality...

U.S. does a lot better in some areas, worse in others. But if you control for weight it's going to be better.

If all the companies that are willing to hire you equally treat you like crap, you aren't really given much choice. In terms of entrepreneurship, it carries a ton of risk. People living paycheck-to-paycheck typically aren't able to carry such a risk with no safety net (family, etc.).

It was unexpected but still somehow expected since many of them were already overworked before covid hit.

Turns out the healthcare systems didn't get overloaded by just the virus, but also the years or decades old issues bubbling under the surface.

Nurses all the way in Finland are voting with their feet as well. Management that isn't up to par, working hours, pay... David Graeber's essays about how caring work is both underpaid and underappreciated rings true.
> The worst of the great catastrophes and oppression of the last century were perpetrated by strong centralised governments.

Absolutely. It's a good thing I'm not calling for massively beefing up government then, I'm just advocating that tax laws exist & are enforced, so as to redistribute wealth, which I don't view as oppressive.

> If libertarianism would result in a great many oppressed people, any sort of centralisation of power will result in even more oppressed people.

I disagree with the implied premise that there is not a "centralisation of power" under libertarianism. While there isn't a state to have a monopoly on violence, there can certainly be a centralisation of economic power. And when we rely on money to pay rent, afford food, pay for healthcare etc, economic power is functionally equivalent to power in general.

> the worst oppressors are invariably governments

I wouldn't say invariably. Consider the United Fruit Company for example, or the current prevalence of child labour in tech company supply chains (e.g: Glencore, Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt).

I know a (thankfully small) handful of cases in which Americans' kids were arrested in a friendly country. The State Department provided invaluable support. (Recommendations on legal counsel, prudent next steps, relevant authorities' phone numbers...nothing nefarious, just context and support.)

I am under no illusion that I, with my resources, would get that sort of access. But it exists, and probably benefits U.S. international business concerns. Since this article concerns itself with rich overseas Americans, I think it's relevant.

I find this story to be mainly sad. Larry Page had a 12 year old son that was sick enough that a 1500 mile medivac seemed like the best option. New Zealand is somehow shut tight enough that this shouldn't have been possible. I think regular people SHOULD be able to medivac to western medical care during medical emergencies, even during pandemics. I feel bad for the New Zealanders that their government went to such isolationist extremes that this could even be in the news.

Newbie here. What is a consultant? What are the education or job experience reqs to be able to properly call yourself a consultant?
Yeah. I’ve actually had moments of skepticism. I’m fully vaccinated (as is my entire family) but had a family member get hospitalized by myocarditis after their 2nd Pfizer dose.

When I did the math of COVID-19 prevalence in our area (cases were very low at the time) and rate of myocarditis for his age group it was actually a higher probability for him to get hospitalized from myocarditis as a vaccine side effect than from COVID-19 at that time (young athletic males seem to get this way more than other demographics).

Now… when you take into account higher cases, SIR models, the Delta variant, and that myocarditis is easy to treat it’s clearly the lower risk option longer term. There is also the ethical part where it’s the right thing to do for your neighbour and Countrymen. My point is that it is not always clear to everyone, especially those who may not have the skills to make sense of academic research.

I’ve even gotten sucked down the hole of “what happens when an mRNA lipid nanoparticle crosses the blood-brain barrier?”, which is quite interesting.

I think it’s less Mozilla’s fault and more user’s shift to mobile that has eaten away at market share combined with the sync hook between mobile and desktop. People say it’s that they lost their focus on the browser or alienated power users, but really Firefox OS was their best shot at long term survival. There’s a vacuum in the mobile space for true OSS. Google has been effective at cutting them off at the pass with both Chromium and Android, but neither allows the true spirit of free software to flourish.

No, they are not simple questions which is why you are not getting any answers. You appear genuinely concerned but lack background and access to basic information, the first you can fix by some serious hard work, the second is much easier, you could for instance start off with the definition of the terms that you are using and then using a dictionary or wikipedia, both of which are fine for this level of engagement.

The short - and hopefully simple - answer to your question, which I hope is simple enough while not abstracting away too much of the more complex reality underneath it is that the mRNA tech was for a long time believed to be non-essential, and besides that there were some licensing issues and other claims. The pandemic provided the right circumstances (read: funding) to try to see if the advantages of mRNA would allow for either a faster development track or for a vaccine that could be changed more rapidly if the virus targeted would mutate.

Both of these turned out to be true - after the fact - and given that a vaccine is better than no vaccine the approval was then fast-tracked enough to allow the vaccine to come to market. There was a lot of testing to ensure that it was safe to administer of the various components in the past, the only part that was new was considered safe based on an abbreviated trial (that still had a surprisingly large 'N' for something done in such a short time).

Totally! Agree that feminists and modern women aspiring to adopt male traits rather than embracing innate female goddess energy and power is stupid, especially when they, at the same time, "stand against" how "toxic" men are.

But then again, some of those traits you pretend are toxic, are actually just awesome, and work in the human world. So why should "man" or "woman" polarity have dibs on that stuff? That gendering of traits is the fucking stupid thing I think. Anyone can choose to do anything. Don't trust people who devalue choice, they're the ones that love to try to deflect blame and responsibility onto anyone but themselves.

But yeah, the human world is pretty fucked up as a whole, male and female, because we're all full of ape brain shit, of which you're no better being human, too.

To make an assessment of safety, what is the number of people who have taken them and got significant problems?

It is very hard to find this number. I know a person who got bad reaction to the vaccine, heart and brain aches. Their doctor turned them down, saying "that's normal, that's what vaccine does" a didn't even do ECG. How many people got treated this way?
Can't possibly be as good. We know how this goes.
This doesn't seem like a fair comparison. The person in the article you posted was terminally ill and wanted to return for personal reasons. Based on the posted article, Page is seeking medical care for his child that cannot be provided in Fiji. In fact, the article explicitly mentions that New Zealand has two separate categories in which both incidents explicitly fall under. Page's case is category 1 while the man in your article is in category 2 based on my reading.
Thanks for the question! A couple of things that we think are killer features of Warrant:

- The flexible access control modeling. Implementing a basic RBAC scheme isn't too difficult with a couple extra database tables, but going further than that (fine-grained access control, inheriting access, etc.) is quite a bit of effort. With Warrant, you can model anything from RBAC to fine-grained access control and everything in between.

- End-to-end SDK support. There are many authorization libraries out there, but all of them seem to forget about the frontend. Warrant provides SDKs for authorizing access to your backend as well as a React SDK to make it easy to show/hide pages and components in your React app.

Fair points, and I don't stand by calling it disinformation. This particular incident has just really frustrated me. I'm not sure exactly what the CDC was thinking by elevating this study so much, or why it was leaked before publication. But it does look suspect to me.

The study:
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7031e2.htm

The limitations discussed in the paper seem to have been completely ignored by the media. That isn't surprising at all, but it is a little suspiring that the CDC made a such a quick and resolute policy change based on a study with such obvious (and some might say peculiar) limitations.

Fwiw, Apple's incentive seems to be hardware from the outside more than Software, imo. They tend to sell the hardware by the software for a lot of people, but given that they're so concerned with keeping their software on their hardware i suspect they don't have much reason to push their software over your software.

What would concern me is if we see a big revenue stream from their software. Then i'd question them not wanting Linux on their machines.

But imo you already gave them what they want when you buy an M1. I don't see a reason why they care beyond that.

This is why the focus is on sex assault and not nursing home deaths. Like it or not, there's a segment of the population that celebrates men who grab life by certain parts. they're typically elderly.

And the elderly are a more active voter bloc.

The reason they stoped investigating the nursing home deaths is because titillating older women with a handsome elderly man is more likely to lead to political success than talking about how he killed older ladies.

> Most western countries have better healthcare system than the US, New Zealand included.

Canadian here. The AVERAGE Canadian's health care is MUCH better than the average American's.

But the best hospitals and the best healthcare in the world is in the US ... if you can afford it. Most of our multi-millionaires and billionaires go to the US for anything critical.
Yup, and let's be even more clear about this.

This Chinese tone that "justifies" the invasion creates these kinds of side discussions, which serves the same purpose as Whataboutism, even if that isn't the intent of the speaker/writer.

A thought experiment: Assume that Tibet was actually some kind of horrific feudal empire that did whatever horrible things to its people you can imagine.

Even if that is some kind of justification for an invasion, e.g., the people had pleaded with the CCP to get freed - which they did not, it is CCP's actions ever since the invasion that betray's their intent.

If the goal had been to free the Tibetean people, they would have removed the leadership, which was done in days, and then freed the people. But CCP has done the opposite, consistently holding more tightly to the land, eliminating the Tibetian's culture and freedom, and claiming ownership.

It is as if the US had not only invaded Iraq to remove the dictator who annexed adjacent countries, but then claimed the land and oil as it's own, and also started systematically removing all mosques, moving US families into each town, and imposing American culture on Iraq.

China are illegitimate occupiers, and wrongfully claim stolen Tibetan territory as their own. Full Stop.
It was disgusting re: the ships and the Javits center. But, the rude refusal to use any of those (by both Cuomo and Newsom), solely because Trump provided them, was also one of the early revelations of the politicization of the pandemic.

Yup, news reports about "hospitals are 90% capacity" or whatever is a business decision by design. They might have a couple more floors available but no staff for them because they aren't scheduled, because patients aren't there. They proactively cut staff wherever possible and then try to react.
How dare they and this forum. How dare you all assume they identify as a she. Tsk tsk, where have all the decent folk gone? What a sexist article, shame it's even on the front page. Where are all our precious ethics researchers and the twitter mob?
Well, now, let's not paint "authoritarianism" as "lefty". Some Marx-reading student on campus is not exactly a threat, is it?

The ultra-left sentiment is, indeed, anti-liberal at its core, but it is still an irrelevant fringe.

The actual, viable threat of authoritarianism is coming from the opposite side, which is a spit away from holding absolute power, here in the States, at least. And then, it's on.
> U.S. citizenship carries extraterritorial benefits.

Not sure about actual benefits. The US passports is one of the worst when it comes to travel. Many countries have stricter entry rules only for US citizen, or require at least a higher Visa fee in comparison to other Western nations or outright don't allow US citizens entry at all. I found my Austrian passport to be actually extremely beneficial. Most powerful passport is still from Singapore when it comes to extraterritorial benefits.

In terms of getting people out of thorny situations, countries which don't have citizenship based tax laws are also pretty good at that, if not even better, because the US has in fact a lot of scarred relations with other nations whereas other Western nations have it easier to get a country pull some strings in order to get their people out.
