First, the parts of religion that are a part of human culture are usually not religious at all. That’s what the “cultural Christian”, or “Christian atheist” means. What happens in schools in countries like Poland is a religious indoctrination, and usually focuses on promoting social pathologies, such as denying reproductive rights and spreading hate speech against minorities.

Second, again using Poland as an example, this is largely outside of government control: the state cedes all authority about this part of schooling to Church, and Church is free to choose whatever propagandists it likes.

Infection-enhancing SARS-CoV-2 antibodies recognize original strain and Delta
Infection-enhancing antibodies have been detected in symptomatic Covid-19 among the vaccinated.

It's no longer theoretical that antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) is a concern for the vaccinated.

The enhancing antibodies recognize both the Wuhan strain and Delta variants. ADE of Delta variants is a potential risk for current vaccines.

Vaccine formulations lacking ADE epitope are suggested, but the majority of people are already vaccinated with problematic formulations.
That introduces a variable that has to be initialised outside the control block. It's not terrible as hacks go, but I guess the readability cost of the additional variable is higher than having the body in the condition.
This is compelling:
“ First and foremost, I can write a program by starting a Lisp running and teaching it incrementally to be the program I want. The Lisp is already a working program; it just isn't the one I want to build. So I teach it one expression at a time how to be the program I want. When it does everything I want it to do correctly and well, I'm done. I can save it and ship it.”

I really find this compelling. I’m going to give the language a shot. I get some of this with Python. When stuck with a small thing I can code it in the Repl or even import a module or function of my own making and iterate on it.

This makes no sense whatsoever, maybe the abyss has stared back? Turbulent flows can be quite predictable, as the fluctuations smooth out statistically. Even simple turbulence models are quite accurate when it comes to the effect of turbulence, say, in pipe flow, or over flat plates and airfoils. Even for situations in which that is not the case, why would error bars go to infinity?

As to the smoothness problem, that may get you to claim a $1,000,000 Millenium prize in mathematics, but plays no role whatsoever in practical simulations.

There are many reasons that I wouldn't fault anyone for being 'hesitant' at this point:

1. For young people, the risks seem to outweigh the benefits. By no small margin either [0]. If your response to this is "but herd immunity", try to remember that this has been described as "mythological", given the leakiness of the vaccines, and the undue confidence socialising shown in the double jabbed.

2. The pharma companies are providing these vaccines in exchange for massive profit - tens of billions of dollars so far - while they simultaneously disallow any possible legal action. It's hard for me to believe that something is safe, while the manufacturer sells them on condition they won't be sued over any potential side-effects.

3. Pharma companies have a record of hiding data they don't like. They bribe academics and lawmakers, pressure newscasters, and have a looong history of testing vaccines and medications on unwilling / unknowing particiapants. Tip of the iceberg.

4. Mainstream media has given us many reasons to distrust it in the last, oh, 7 decades or so. Even more so recently.

5. The governments who are managing the pandemic the worst seem to be more interested in bringing in "vaccine passports", lockdowns, and mandatory vaccinations than actually hiring / training more nurses & building more ICU units. Where I am, the government has been caught having secret parties with vulture funds and large franchise operators; our Chief Medical Officer pretends antigen tests have no use; our Attorney General just changed the rules around social gatherings after our top leaders were caught at a party.

6. Better vaccines - by all accounts, ie Novavax - are on the horizon.

7. The utter disregard of human rights, civil liberties, and medical ethics shown by a horridly wide swathe of media and government, who are happy to dehumanise the vaccine hesitant in the name of [mythical] herd immunity.

8. The fact that this whole thing stinks; from the censorship of discussion regarding a lab-leak scenario, to the extreme politicisation of potential cures and hypotheses, to the simple brow-beating and straight-up death threats thrown at people outside the groupthink.

[0] - https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40328123.html - note that this is only death due to clots caused by vaccination vs Corona death, and does not include the vaccine's risk of myocarditis, pericarditis, GBS, CFS, lingering numbness and swelling, missing periods, Bell's palsy, etc. Also note that Moderna and Pfizer were shown to have similar clotting issues.
IMO: The article needs more concrete examples. Give some specific examples of writing code when a specific infrastructure product was a better example. THEN, give some examples of when a specific infrastructure product was a bad choice.
Yes a lot of jobs in Canada that are "remote for now"; sometimes made explicit, other times implicit.

Also an uptick in American companies attempting to hire remote from Canada, which is potentially good, except that I doubt many of them actually have the infrastructure (payroll, benefits, etc.) for doing the hire, so it's either contract, or it never actually happens.
Congrats on the launch!

Is a chatbot the best way to accomplish this? I used the app for 5 minutes and barely got past the onboarding. Yes maybe it feels more personalised but it's much slower to get to the point.

Like WORMS_EAT_WORMS mentioned, stepping away from screens I've found is much better for improving mental health, which also makes me question the premise of apps like Headspace.

Would be great to hear your perspective on these points.

Best of luck!
Is it really a problem, at least with the Delta variant?

It seems quite a few vaccinated people get COVID-19 but it seems very few get seriously ill. The protective effect seems to outweigh any infection-enhancing effect.

"media literacy" means the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, create, and communicate using ... print, visual, audio, interactive, and digital texts.

every public high school shall include ... a unit of instruction on media literacy [to] include:

... Evaluating ... the general landscape and economics of the platforms, [and] issues regarding the trustworthiness of the source of information.

... Deconstructing media representations according to the authors, target audience, techniques, agenda setting, tereotypes, and authenticity to distinguish fact from opinion.

... Conveying a coherent message ... to a specific target audience.

... Assessing how media affects the consumption of information and how it triggers emotions and behavior.

... Suggesting a plan of action ... to engage others in a respectful, thoughtful, and inclusive dialogue over a specific issue ...

Are you saying that you are unable to purchase health insurance in your hell world? I live in the United States, and when I was working as a 1099 contract worker, I bought health insurance for my family for little more than what an employer deducts from my paycheck. It was actually a very nice plan.
"An aside, are you getting your information about vaccines from Joe Rogan?"

No.

That article mentions Mareks disease in its argument. Yes, it's true that vaccinated chickens will reduce viral load compared to unvaccinated chickens. That's not something I'm arguing. Viral load is not the same as virulence, although it could be a good indicator depending on the other variables. You would have to look at viral load (or fatality rates really) in the unvaccinated population for each strain to determine if the disease has gotten more virulent over time (Mareks has). Nor am I saying people shouldn't get vaccinated.

What I am saying is that the vaccines should be updated to prevent the breakthrough infections, otherwise we do have some risk of additional mutations occurring. It may be true that vaccination reduces viral load compared to unvaccinated people, but the measure that matters in this conversation is what that load looks like between strains. Delta is more virulent, producing up to 1000x the viral load. Unless the vaccine reduces viral load by 1000x or greater, then vaccinated people with delta would have the same or greater chance of infecting someone else as someone who is not vaccinated and has the original strain.

We are seeing more virulent strains. These emerged prior to widespread vaccination. But it seems even with widespread vaccination, there may be enough transmission to generate new mutations (Isreal is 80% vaccinated and they are seeing another wave including breakthroughs).

So really, the only thing I take issue with, aside from your personal attacks, is that your following statement isn't really true, and the article doesn't support protection against development of more virulent strains, but merely that there is lower viral load when vaccines are involved.

"Even legitimately ‘leaky’ vaccines have been shown to reduce virulence"

Companies of any real size tend to get better rates than most individuals can get because they can average things out over a larger group of people, since odds are a decent % of the people won't need to spend a significant amount on health care any given year. So while there is some cost to the employee it is still probably doing better than if they simply put that money directly in your pocket. But yes US healthcare is insane.

> Trump dump: president throws entire box of fish food into precious koi carp pond

> While his host, Japan’s prime minister Shinzo Abe, spoons small amounts of feed, the US leader gives the fish a large feast

> Having apparently lost patience with tempting the fish to the edge with modest offerings of food, Trump simply upended his wooden container and dumped its entire contents into the water.

> White House reporters captured the moment on their smartphones and tweeted evidence of the president’s questionable grasp of fish keeping.

> Abe is seen grinning, as is a woman in a kimono standing to one side. Next to her, Rex Tillerson – perhaps grateful for a moment of comic relief after he was named in the Paradise Papers – could not suppress a laugh, according to witnesses.

> Some speculated that a poor palace employee would be dispatched to the scene of Trump’s faux pas to the clean up the mess as soon as the two leaders disappeared inside.

> Trump is not alone in misjudging the fishes’ appetite, however. According to the Aquascape website, overfeeding is the most common mistake made by keepers of koi carp.

> “This can make your fish sick, and excessive amounts of waste that strains the limits of what can be biologically reduced, results in a decline of water quality,” the site says.

The whole article is written as "trump stupid, kill fish"

Of course the reality is... trump did it all by protocol, doing what the host did, first feeding by the spoon, then throwing in the rest... but they even managed to crop the video, showing only what trump did, and cutting Abe out of the frame.

This is not some random guy on facebook, or some cheap rag.. it's a (once) respectable newspaper. If I cannot trust them with reporting about something, that was recorded by many, many cameras, and with video available everywhere, how can I trust them with reporting about something, I have no direct insight to?
In the current theory of GR (which predicts the existence of black holes), black holes themselves are point singularities - so the only meaning for "size" is the event horizon.

Note that physicists don't believe this 0-size point is actually correct - the expectation is that a theory of quantum gravity would predict some fixed size for the black hole, one that also prevents the infinities inherent in the GR description of black holes.
Counterpoint:

You need to do some processing, like for example create a summary report of several gigs of really big json docs every few seconds. This is a problem that can really be sped up by using more cores.

Which option will you choose:

1.) Install configure and maintain a stream processing tool/framework and add dependencies to your code? Oh and don't forget to add service discovery, special filesystems and install 7 different runtimes and all the dependencies.

2.) Run Kubernetes + Kafka and several python or node.js microservices (each with many instances, because node.js is practically single-threaded) - one to chop up the data and put it on a queue, another that reads it from the queue and actually processes it then placing the results on the queue and another one reading it from there and responding to the ui.

3.) Create a function that does all the processing per document. Run it using pmap (parallel map, starts off threads in the background) or reducers in Clojure or your favourite framework. It uses all the cores on your machine.

I know I'll chose the more Boring technology in most cases, as most cases are pretty boring and don't need all that advanced services, orchestrators and architectures.
Yes they do benefit society but in different ways. My own bias is that I approach the subject of compensation from a capitalist economy. If I were the brain surgeon in Cuba (and I have met one when I visited) I would be using my skills and abilities to improve my quality of life since the $30 / month standard wage in Cuba doesn't provide for much. The street cleaner is probably thinking and doing the same thing.

Job listing: Remote possible

First/Second interview: We would actually prefer this position to be on site.
Nope. It’s not wishful thinking, it’s my day job. It pops out of analysis of what aerodynamics advances are possible, eg work by Pfenninger and others which is decades old. It’s fascinating how some confuse their own lack of familiarity with the state of the art research on this with lack of any sound ability.

Boeing and Airbus have both invested millions in startups that are working on battery electric aircraft. But beyond that, it wasn’t Toyota or VW that made the Model S and the Model 3. Why would we expect a massive, slow-moving behemoth to be at the forefront of electric flight if the massive, slow-moving behemoths of land transport weren’t at the forefront of practical long distance electric cars? Companies such as Eviation, MagniX, and Bye Aerospace have promising approaches for the roughly 1000km range, with more advanced approaches (longer wings, pressurized cabin enabling higher altitudes, better battery chemistries, etc) enabling all short haul flights. Long-haul is a much bigger challenge, but still possible.

And dropping water from high altitude will still cause water emissions. You’d need operational complexity such as freezing the water into pellets, or dumping the water occasionally at low altitudes. And compressed hydrogen has terrible energy density so you’ll want liquid hydrogen, which is still the lowest density liquid known to humankind plus is also almost the deepest cryogenic liquid, with a bunch of energy required for liquefaction and some pretty annoying/dangerous handling issues during refueling. Sure, it could be done, but it’s going to be harder than people think and the poor round trip efficiency is going to limit the economic case for it versus battery-electric.

>Benefits are just an appealing name given to anything an employer chooses to spend money on instead of paying you that money (and the trade typically works in their favor).

Nominally, this works out for both employer and employee, since those benefits can be paid for with pre tax money. Really, it gives big businesses an advantage over small businesses that cannot afford the costs to administer these benefits or the non discrimination testing. And it advantages businesses over employees by obfuscating what their true pay is.

It also gets hairy for a married couple where one spouse is a W-2 employee with the standard retirement contribution and subsidized health insurance benefits, but the other does not.
