No vaccine is 100% effective. No medicine seems to be 100% effective either. This is a known issue, and it always has been. Good thing we don't need it to be to eradicate an illness.

It won't be necessary for most folks to take both, though, that's just not how things work.

I'm curious about this way of working. Can you get a preview of all the functions in the system and how they interact with each other? How do you refactor effectively? How do you work with other people in a repository? Compare git changes and other stuff?

Why the hate for the unvaccinated if all you risk as a vaccinated person is a mild disease? There was no such paranoia for the flu which was still deadly.

I had recently read a paper by a professor in Stanford Psychiatry that made very exaggerated claims that would go on to not be replicated to the degree originally made, which I had expected as the treatment used was not a major improvement on the existing methods and that researchers from even prestigious universities might be incentivized to not investigate or report the full truth if they might benefit from it in some way.

While it's interesting that the treatment was "successful" and that symptoms continued, this isn't really a strong statement of support for something like Chronic Lyme Disease or at least its widespread presentation - much more likely a statement of support for Lyme Disease bacteria not always being treated by the regimen, or potentially even that it's easy for someone to get a second infection and have no significant immunity.

I've spent a good amount of time on oil wells, and this was always obvious. Methane passively leaks from the ground of most wells, and is usually related to the quality of the cement reinforcements. There is no real incentive for oil companies to use higher quality materials.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say but evidence overwhelmingly suggests that former President Trump colluded with Russia (a hostile foreign power) for personal electoral gain in exchange for decisions which benefited the Russian government. The problem isn't with the news media reporting on this it is, far from nothing, the problem is with Republican leadership refusing to put country ahead of party and get rid of Trump
As a biomedical researcher who prefers using python & R over Excel:

(1) Graduate students (who are the bulk of the scientific labor force) usually have some training in python, R, or Matlab, but are seldom practiced in applying it to real-world work. So if a lab standardizes on python, R, etc. the senior people have to do a lot of extra work to support the programming, rather than doing work with intrinsic scientific value. It's easier to teach the Excel quirks than to teach effective programming practices. Excel quirks are concrete, and "good practices" in programming are vague and situational.

(2) Python & R have their own pitfalls. It's easy to apply the wrong filters to a data set and compare subsets that aren't what you think you're comparing. Although when they go wrong, they go very wrong, and this is easier for a supervisor to notice.

(3) Excel has rich text formatting, graph embedding, and data types, so it's very useful as a human-readable data interchange & summary format even if you never do computation in it.

IMO neither programming languages nor Excel are a great fit for data analysis. Something purpose-made, like JMP or even GraphPad, is probably the better choice in most situations. Programming gets you automation but at the cost of high complexity. Since you still need to look at and think about the data there's a limit to how much time automation can save (Amdahl's law).
Fast fashion is probably one of the most price elastic goods in existence. And your suggestion to "just don't make it" is patently silly. Are you advocating for a ban on clothes or are you advocating for all manufacturers to willingly stop production and avoid profits? Either of these is detached from reality. A carbon tax is what's needed.

When has that ever happened?
A decade ago Lyme disease landed me in the hospital with carditis and neurological issues. I still worry that my brain doesn't work as well as it used to, but I don't have symptoms severe enough to make me seek out additional treatment (yet).

It should be noted that while there is some evidence that Disulfiram has effectiveness against Lyme, it's not yet well-studied and the incidence of significant side effects, particularly neurological side effects, during treatment is high enough that I wouldn't risk it. Both the risks and benefits haven't been studied enough to quantify, though I'm glad it worked well for your family.

Fair. However, there continues to be an unresolved tension in the C++ community about whether they want C++ to focus on its considerable legacy by ensuring enduring compatibility ("No ABI breaks, ever!") or to continue growing and changing even if that means not everybody can follow ("Performance trumps compatibility, ship it!"). Although we can anticipate some sort of compromise, it just isn't possible to have a C++ 2x that delivers everything the modernizers want yet still runs people's technically conforming C++ 11 code unchanged with that binary DLL they've got no source code for. Some people will be unhappy, maybe everybody in the C++ community will end up unhappy.

In the "no breaking changes" case I agree that C++ objects that live in the free store are in the same place as Go, the programmer has a responsible which they may not fulfil, to manage this resource and a linter can only help mitigate this problem.

But plenty of people including Stroustrup want to do lifetime management, despite potential breaking changes from that, and under lifetime management the compiler has visibility into your object lifetimes and can reject programs which inadvertently leak.

Now, that doesn't (can't) make leaks impossible, but it means any leak is now in some sense "on purpose" and would happen for GC'd resources too, it isn't just an accident. For example Rust's mem::forget will prevent the drop happening for the object you're forgetting, but it's not as though you type mem::forget() by mistake. You clearly wanted to achieve that (e.g. you stole the underlying Unix file descriptor from a File and sent it over a socket to a separate process, so now cleaning up that descriptor is the Wrong Thing™) and incorrect usage is not the same category of error as forgetting a with clause in Python.

Which seems like a missed opportunity for a service all its own: a babysitter who babysits while bringing the child somewhere, rather than in a static location. Which could mean "Uber where every driver has a babysitting certificate and the car has a bassinet and a minifridge" or it could mean "someone who'll watch over your child on public transit." It's fundamentally about the babysitting, not really about providing the transportation.
Wow, that is evil. Thanks!
What makes you assume ChowFun is a sustainable and scalable business model? How do you know Uber's 30% commissions haven't changed significantly since you last read about them? What makes you so sure Uber isn't constantly trying to innovate in that space to create the most sustainable business possible? That would align the users and and the stockholders, so I'd be surprised if they were pursuing anything so short term as "abusive 30% commissions" (which maybe were just a quick bootstrap idea).
Same thing happened to silicone breast implants. Lots of class action lawsuits claiming leaking silicone caused health issues. Lawsuits bankrupted Dow Corning. There was no evidence that it caused issues and you can still get silicone implants today.
While I wish this line of logic were true, generally as corporations improve their techniques, they try to scale up their business and are rarely content with what they have. Sad, but I think true.

Seattle / SF are both still very car-centric and have pretty bad public transit. Unfortunately I don't know of any places in the United States that are representative of what I'm talking about, outside some small pockets which don't span more than a few blocks. Largely due to zoning restrictions.

Not Just Bikes has some good video of places in the Netherlands and elsewhere that come close to meeting the ideal. Take a look too at maps of small/medium towns in Germany or Japan compared to USA.

> Her bias is, she wants to hold on to even the slightest glimmer of hope that someone might find a use for an item.

I have this same problem. It's actually taken me a lot of effort over the years to get away from this mindset. Not that I try to be wasteful, it's more of just forcing myself to be realistic about the likelihood of me being able to repurpose a thing. Sure a thing might be useful to someone but unless I'm really interested in the effort required to find them and facilitate the transaction, that thing is just going to sit around. I have finite space available so unless I really want something or really want to make a donation happen it's going in the trash.

In general we tend to over-pack and over-engineer a lot of our shipping and handling processes. Turns out many things just aren't that big of a deal (like shipping bees).

Google is highly incented to do things like this where technically, it reduces Google's ability to track. But, it hurts other advertising companies more, so overall, it improves Google's position. Win-win-win of great PR, less anti-trust pressure, and broader gap to the next best competitor.
There was an incident maybe 30 years ago where a medical school employee went into New York (I think it was) to pick up a batch of human heads to be used for teaching purposes. He left the box in his car while taking care of another errand, and it was stolen.

The box was found sitting on the sidewalk a few blocks away, with the heads still in it.

One can only imagine what went through the thief's mind when he opened his "prize".

>Note that there is a theory gaining traction recently that Alzheimer's is caused by the brain's attempts to manage active infections.

I think it's always been noted that Alzheimer's risk can increase significantly after certain infections. I don't think this really takes out the genetic component and other environmental components to be contributors, though, and I've not heard much on the front of it being the primary contributor of Alzheimer's risk.

Weird position to take when most high-quality content is already shifting to a paywall model (or didn't base their business model on advertising in the first place). And ad-supported content is in a race to the bottom meaning any content useful beyond light entertainment is drying up.

> IOW who "won" might be considered to depend on what we mean by the word "Taliban".

Well it certainly wouldn’t include UBL or anyone in Al Qaeda, since they are two totally different groups with totally different goals. We could have gone in 20 years ago with the goal of destroying Al Qaeda and their ability to organize terror attacks. We chose to also overthrow the Taliban “government” and install a new government in Afghanistan.

> If there is someone who was Taliban during G.W.'s term and is still Taliban today, ask him whether this feels like victory. He might say yes, but then ask him about his old fighting buddies who weren't as lucky as he.

"The days of the Taliban are over. The future of Afghanistan belongs to the people of Afghanistan. And the future of Afghanistan belongs to freedom." -President Bush 2006

“I am considering two promises. One is the promise of God, the other is that of Bush. The promise of God is that my land is vast. If you start a journey on God's path, you can reside anywhere on this earth and will be protected... The promise of Bush is that there is no place on earth where you can hide that I cannot find you. We will see which one of these two promises is fulfilled…As for the United States' future in Afghanistan, it will be fire and hell and total defeat, God willing, as it was for their predecessors - the Soviets and, before them, the British.”- Mullah Mohammad Omar, 2001

Mullah Mohammad Omar died of natural causes. Jalaluddin Haqqani died of natural causes, and Sirajuddin Haqqani and the other Haqqani senior leaders of today were around in 2001. Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, “the Butcher of Kabul”, and a key senior ally to the Taliban pre and post 9/11 is alive and pardoned. Abdul Ghani Baradar, co-founder of the Taliban, is out of prison, and signed the agreement on behalf of the Taliban for the US withdrawal. The Taliban of 2001 and the Taliban of today are the same Taliban, just 20 years apart.

I don’t find your “considerations” at all compelling.

I've written for at least a thousand international clients, hundreds in the UK, and this doesn't seem to be a US thing based on the resumes/CVs I see.

I have no agenda here. I'm just telling you the facts from someone who has probably read far more resumes than most others. You don't need to accept my expertise. Again, run a google image search on resumes, tell me how many you see with the word 'I'.

You clearly don't value my experience. That's OK. I'm not some advocate for first person pronouns - it doesn't help me in any way that resumes are written in this manner. I'm just explaining to you that it's a fact.

> This is a very big question though. WTF are people thinking? There's a difference between no longer wearing something because it no longer fits but is otherwise in good condition to not being used because it's completely ruined. What mental block exists in the original owner from just throwing away the ruined items vs just holding onto them to donate so someone else can throw it away? Do they actually feel like some good is coming from donating worthless items? I honestly just do understand this.

It's still "good," just not good enough for them, and they don't want the item "to go to waste." Basically, they can imagine someone using it, but it's an unrealistic fantasy.

I think that also applies to freebie crap no one wants.
> It is very unfortunate that in the world of ubiquitous information, ability to just look up a reasonable solution to a well known and well studied problem that has already been solved long ago is practically a superpower

I'm working right now on writing a shell script to exhaustively test a particular use case, because actually exhaustively testing it would (probably) take longer than writing the script. I'm doing this knowing full well that the next time this comes up two years from now, I'm probably not going to remember where I put this script, so I'll probably have to re-create it, but that's ok - because writing "boring" shell scripts is actually something I enjoy.
Free societies do have provisions that allow for such things used with parsimony in times of great need.

When you're enforcing an actual lockdown, thankfully it only takes a few weeks and people can go back to normal for the next 2-3 months. The tradeoff to liberty and freedom is more complex than it seems.

For example, New Zealand did it successfully, and I'd say there was a lot more freedom thanks to the times with low restrictions despite the brief but strong lockdowns.

>The NA English accent is considered the most clear and easy to understand.

Do you have any evidence of this? I would believe that it depends strongly on the language(s) you already know. Perhaps you are confusing prevalence with clarity. North America has tremendous soft power - more so than any other part of the world and their accents are ubiquitous.

Clarity is not necessarily function of the accent.

Depends where you sample from.

In the USA, estimated new HIV infections in 2019 35k. Assuming 350 million Americans, that gives a very rough estimate of 1 case out of 10,000 per year.

You can enrich this by shifting target population. You could do this in the USA by targetting high risk communities, or by moving the trial overseas.

An trial in the USA with 10k in each arm could very likely be constructed to generate at least 10 cases per year. Likely up to 50.

The trains will run for 100+ years. This is possible because almost all parts can be made in house and those that can't are eventually replaced.

I'm fact the Zürich rail company (ZVV) in their purchase deal of the bombadier light rail included all plans for all parts. Bombadier was not happy but the ZVV has to make sure they can service the trains even if the manufacturer goes away.
