No it isn't. In addition to seeing law enforcement as a threat, there are other forces that couple explain disparate murder rates - such as the rate of drug use, the rate of single parent households, the level of lead in water.

Your comment reads perilously close to "Either you believe <party line> or <be racist>, no alternatives, so I choose <party line>." There are a hundred other explanations.

Is any country with high vaccination numbers struggling for ICU beds at the minute?
My specific use case is for automating the creation of videos that require a full desktop setup to record:

I run a few channels similar to this one, which provide value by showcasing how the top-end League of Legends players play the game:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMvtjPFhJR0BeErid-s1Zbg/vid...

Manually curating all of these videos would take a lot of time and effort.

In order to record these videos, I have scripts set up that load high level games ready to spectate, start watching via the League of Legends spectator client, play the replay back, start recording using OBS, programmatically adding an overlay to the videos showcasing information (which would be much harder to do post-production as this would require re-encoding a full 25-50 minute video each time), stop recording with OBS, and then upload to YouTube with relevant title / description / thumbnail.

I could (and have looked into) hooking directly into windows APIs to do the recording, and editing of the videos, but it is much easier with OBS.
> Almost everything you will ever need is already implemented in a library for you to reuse, and even reaching for that library is pretty rare.

Developers who have no interest towards algorithms will not even have the skills required to identify opportunities where algorithms should be used, much less the skills required to identify which algorithm should be used. For example, I had a conversation here on HN a few weeks back where somebody said that they will not need to learn anything about sort algorithms, because they can just google bubble sort and copypaste it if they need sorting at work. And that's how you end up with 5-minute load times for GTA.
What is a remedy in this context? Can you put this chicken scratch in real terms or are you simply so far into pseudoscience that you've disregarded language as well?

90% of ICU cases are people that think like you in my county. Almost all new severe cases and deaths are people who believe they are above the risk.

Tell me this, since you are a "healthy" individual do you also forego all cancer screening? Do you simply have such an attunement to your own body that you can feel any rogue cells as they form? Perhaps you rub yourself with quartz because you consider it to be a "good" crystal with healing properties.
Exactly right. You get to make a choice, but choices come with consequences. Don't want a vaccine? OK, but be prepared to be rejected from places that would prefer you have one.
I use https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader to optionally apply dark themes to websites that don't support themes, or don't provide theme options. It's pretty good, but there are definitely some sites that it doesn't work well enough with. Worth having though, as I do prefer dark themes - I feel my eyestrain has been reduced since using it.

Perhaps this type of functionality (perhaps limited to toggling the prefers-color-scheme setting) is something browsers should consider baking into the default UI/Chrome.

What type of responses did you get?

I agree, engaging people is a good way to go. I don't know any anti-vaxxers personally, so I have to actively work to remind myself they might not all have the same reasons as the ones I know impersonally (who all happen to be full of misinfo, like Eric Clapton, et al.).

There are no silver bullets that lead to peace and harmony, obviously, but a greater understanding of each other is good for many reasons.
Do you have any options for people in one of those programs to transfer over?
Alternatively: the unvaccinated are simply mistaken, and represent people's cousins and friends and children and grandparents, and their suffering and death would represent real loss and tragedy even to people who did everything right and got their shots.

The desire to see this pandemic solely in terms of an individual moral play (on all sides of the debate!) is really strong on this website, and I think it's very unhelpful.

We're all in this together. I got my shots. All my family members of age are vaccinated. All our friends and regular acquaintances are vaccinated.

I still wear my mask where I have to be near people in public, because every little bit helps. My risk is not zero, and if I get sick so might someone else who isn't as protected. I still avoid restaurants. I still work at home. I still limit travel.

We can stop this when the pandemic is controlled. Until then, it remains all of our collective responsibility. And I for one am willing to bear that.
where is the preference in firefox?
Most people agree that you should not be allowed to drink and drive, yet some cannot transpose this logic onto being vaccinated.

If you want to drink and drive, go for it, just don't do it anywhere public. If you want to be unvaxxed, fine, just don't go anywhere public.

Estonia gives a government email address to its citizens. I use it for some real world services, especially related to government. I kind of regret it, because the address is now inundated with spam. Apparently some of these services made that information publicly available.
A friend of mine lived in a house where the previous owner had struggled with bamboo. In some frantic, mad, last ditch effort they mixed some concrete and poured a half-assed slab over the bamboo stubs.

This did not at all work, as the bamboo grew back and broke through the concrete as needed, effectively becoming an armored rootball of hate.
>My first link reports 492 total active cases, not thousands.

You are correct, I was looking at total cases, not active cases. My apologies!

However, this still does not support the claim that young people are "widely" going to the hospital. Even assuming that age ranges are going to the hospital at equal rates (which is a preposterous assumption), given 20 total hospitalizations spread across 492 active cases (of which 290 are ages 0-29), we would only expect ~11/290 active COVID cases under 30 to be hospitalized. But again, this an extremely unrealistic upper bound, based on the ludicrous assumption that all ages get hospitalized at equal rates.

On top of that, these data are from Australia, where the population is still not widely vaccinated. I assume the vast majority of hospitalized COVID patients in Victoria are not fully vaccinated.

>The mortality calculated from that is a simple 3.8%.

This (and all previous calculations) depend on accurately estimating the denominator, i.e. the total number of cases. Given the amount of asymptomatic/low symptomatic cases, how is this accurately done? Has the composition of who gets tested shifted over the course of the pandemic? Has it ever actually accurately sampled the true number of cases?
From that Wikipedia article, pharma companies paid a total of 2.5 billions in damages from 2006 to 2020. Seems hard to say that they can't be sued, it's just a different court system.
That works, but only if the reason is one they feel willing to give you. For example, I suspect a really simple answer for a lot of people could be "if it increases the chances of Trump being president in 2024". Or "if Covid killed my wife and some, but not all, of my kids".
I don't have a problem with honoring the flag. My problem is that it's usually implemented as an afterthought, a checkbox probably using a poorly thought-out style sheet. If you aren't going to elevate your dark design to the same level of care and testing as you do for the default design, then just don't do it.
If the virus is under better containment, those more likely to be infected, are more likely to be comorbid with other conditions. Thus death rates when looking at the entire length of the pandemic are likely to be higher.

Delta is the first time Australia has seen widespread infection in healthy people.
You still spread covid whether you are vaccinated or not
Well then communicate your wishes to whoever develops the browser you use. Websites are just complying with what your browser is telling them you prefer. It's your browser that's not giving you the option to change what it tells websites to suit your preference.
>Some of those are devout anti-vaccination activists but I believe that they are still a relatively small fraction of the hesitant. When not being vaccinated comes with a direct personal cost we'll see how sincere those beliefs are.

I have a friend in this group. There was no logical reason to not get vaccinated, her parents just kept regurgitating all the blatantly false conspiracy theories they were reading on the internet. The amount of times I heard "I'd get it if Bill Gates weren't involved, he's trying to track us" made my head spin.

Now work is requiring it to stay employed, so she's getting it. I'm both sad that's what it took, and happy that it was enough to overcome irrational fear mongering on the world wide web.
This is also what prompted YouTube to derive revenue from advertising rather then charging content creators who want to upload video. In the case of YouTube, power laws have inverted the relationship with content creators: it's in YT's interest to not charge at all. A free to use / consume platform has turned YT into a commons which captures large audiences which drive advertising revenue.

Vimeo went into the opposite direction. They have a tiered pricing model charging for the use of the features and tools they offer. However, they pivoted away from catering to a large and diverse audience. Instead they focus on B2B communication. Vimeo is excellent for professional videographers or marketing agencies publishing video content.

The take away here is that the expense of processing and publishing video isn't going to lower dramatically in the short run. As hardware became ever more powerful over the past 2 decades, the demand for high-quality video has paced along in lockstep: 1080p, 4K,... So, the costs associated with hosting high quality content haven't dropped significantly in that regard. There's not much you can change about that.

What you do control is the business model you develop to cover the costs of hosting content. And that means finding a profitable market and asserting a good product/service fit up front, if you can.

Instead of building an app "to make it easier for developers to upload, process, and deliver media in their apps", OP ought to think beyond developers, and rather direct themselves to those who are either producing or consuming content.

Another way of thinking about this might be: Which problem really is getting solved? And whose problem really is it? Is it hosting audiovisual bitstreams? Is it processing? Is it just providing an at-the-ready API which allows users to just easily upload and embed audiovisual material everywhere without even requiring any technical knowledge?

The latter, by the way, already exists in several forms on the Web - e.g. https://oembed.com/ - which is already implemented in e.g. WordPress and supported by large social media platforms such as Instagram and YouTube.
Wow, amazing. I hope I never stand next to you. The shiver would probably freeze me to death.
The thing is, it's not actually a fallacy when you're working out how much benefit getting rid of the remaining unvaccinated people would have. Think about it this way: if there are say 20 vaccinated people and 5 unvaccinated people with Covid, vaccinating all the remaining people or banning them from whatever event won't do anything about the 20 vaccinated breakthrough cases. So the ratio of unvaccinated cases to vaccinated breakthrough cases effectively imposes a hard cap on how effective this kind of policy could ever be.

IMHO, Union types are the one the most important features that should have been in programming languages since C. And I believe it would have made our software much more bug free than it is generally now. Enums in all languages should be Rust like enums with exhaustive checking and allow recursive definitions.

But mRNA technology is not a gene therapy.

As an analogy:

mRNA technology is NOT like sending a saboteur into a factory to change the blue prints / designs / masters records (=genes) of the factory.

Rather it is like dropping a bunch work instructions (RNA snippets) over the factory and have some workers (cells) pick them up and build the things described there-in.

mRNA tech isn't the same as CRISPR.

The worst that could happen is that a work instruction that we inject becomes self-replicating (a virus), but because it can't replicate to begin with it there is no way that it mutates to gain such an ability.

You're completely right, thanks for the spotting that and the feedback!

I was going to remove it, but I don't think that's the problem. The whole section you mention is the problem - all these options should be auto-discovered, and in fact are, in any normal deployment. It's sometimes used for unusual deployments (connecting over a VPN, or a testing/development server).

For normal deployments, XMPP already defines which host/port/TLS-mode to use and how a client can pick between them.

So I've just merged an update that clarifies that these options are not generally recommended for implementations to expose to users, except to support testing/development.

I'd rather have this documented (i.e. "if you are going to do this anyway, at least do it correctly, like this").
Great so did you decide to fear a vaccine or are you happily doing your civic duty for the sake of your countrymen.

>Money, when paid into a bank, ceases altogether to be the money of the principal;

>but he is, of course, answerable for the amount, because he has contracted, having received that money, to repay to the principal, when demanded, a sum equivalent to that paid into his hands.

These are the two important parts.

The banker must pay back an amount equal to that which was deposited but is not required to return the literal cash. If you hand a banker a physical gold coin to deposit you have no reasonable expectation of receiving that exact individual gold coin upon withdrawal. But, you still get back a gold coin.

Anecdotally, it seems to me that around 70-80% of people on the London Underground are still wearing masks. Which is to say that the "mandate" is a joke (like so many of our restrictions have been) and clearly isn't being enforced.

The percentage of people wearing masks on the tube, where masks are "compulsory", doesn't seem much higher than the percentage of people who are voluntarily wearing masks in other public places which have no mandate, so the fact that most people are still wearing masks on the Tube is probably less because of the mandate and more because of people's general sense of precaution/paranoia. I suspect if the mask mandate were lifted then most people would continue to wear masks voluntarily anyway, just as they're still doing at the supermarket.
>What I find most sad about your post is that you had to open by stating your vaccination status.

The political status of this website requires me to disclaimer. I expect even with the disclaimer I will be attacked regardless. If not downvoted to the point that my words are hidden. Which isn't much of a prediction because this post is already downvoted.

>This is so weird and frightening, I dont know what to say. Things said and claimed by all sides in the past 1 1/2 years have made me really stop believe in humanity.

Political status/motivation. I wouldn't let it damage your position in humanity.

>People are seriously writing here that they think if people are being fired, that pressure will "hopefully change their minds". Are you aware how cruel you are? You wish someone to loose their income just because they dont have the same opinion then you? When did this happen? When did we start to produce people like this? When did we stop to take?

Don't go on reddit and look at this. They are cheering as antivaxxers are getting covid and dying. They are ecstatic to see people losing their jobs because of vaccination status. 6% of people cant get the vaccine but they dont care.
They are as effective as we thought they were. Delta is just more virulent than previous strains and we're at barely 50% vaccination rate. We're still waiting on safe doses for children and the millions of stubborn people who think public health is a personal decision.
Is every hospital getting overwhelmed though? I keep seeing reports of staff getting fired or quitting because of vaccine requirement. Maybe I'm getting fake news?
Agreed! As in my sibling comment just now, I've updated this section to say basically that.
> That's not an option. Hospitals in many were already understaffed before the pandemic. And the pandemic has caused such a severe worker shortage that traveling RNs are getting paid upwards of $200/hr in remote parts of the USA.

How did this understaffing happen?

> More than 260 hospitals and health systems furloughed workers in the last year, and many others implemented layoffs.

This is a user agent (browser) concern not a web site concern.

The browser is doing what works for similar broad preferences (eg: language). If you think browsers should offer a knob to turn off forwarding you color scheme preference that is reasonable.

What is not reasonable is to encourage sites to ignore content negotiation signals from the browser and rely only on site level controls. The behavior reduces the friction of the web and is a net win for the user.

Do hospitals turn away people with the flu away if they are not vaccinated? Or is it only Covid that you would impose this rule for?

Can you please briefly explain to us your negative emotions towards covid vaccination if you don't mind? There is no scientific reason good enough to not have it for most of the population.

Making it a stance about personal freedoms is often used but it detracts discussion about facts of approved vaccinations, positive or negative they may be.
