> And nuclear war isn't an option either, because all of China will end up completely uninhabitable if even a single major American city gets targeted.

No, by far, China is the only nation which may ever consider taking the first strike.

Every major city has regular NBC drills, stockpiles of everything, and huge shelters.
Considering the vast majority of Sweden is basically uninhabited - I'm not sure why everyone is so dead set on comparing Sweden only with Norway and Finland (I get it that they are similar in this way and many others).

Realistically, most of the people live in a few cities and the density is similar to Ireland, Croatia, Bulgaria, or even Greece.

Sweden after its first wave doesn't look much different than any of those countries.

Is it because a lot of the susceptible people already died? Maybe. But it's not like you can A/B test this stuff.
But are you right or wrong? Any evidence of such a person existing? Groups and political labels change their membership over time so you can't use those as a proxy for people.
That's not how it actually works in practice. Landlords are able to charge tenants as much rent as the tenant can afford, so tenant income increases are what causes rent increases.

Supply and demand don't "work" the same when there is a monopoly of a necessary good.

Consider the scenario where there is no more water in the world. All that is left is in a well in your back yard. You can charge whatever you want for the water, because people need it. The limit is what they can spend, because the demand is essentially infinite.

Now, if you had to purchase a more expensive pump to extract water from your well, would you charge more for your water? No, because you can already charge as much as you want.

I haven't seen the data for other countries, but in New Zealand, you can look at trends of rent vs house price and they are not correlated anywhere near the way rent and income is correlated.

Supply and demand do still exist and affect rent, but when supply is low for housing, landlord cost increases have no effect on rent.
This is a good question! We addressed this explicitly in our (new) book that starts in Pyret and transitions to Python:

Not sure why you're being downvoted.

At once the term "hacker" may have accompanied all programmers to some extent, but I view it as someone who tears code apart.

Reverse engineering, deconstructing, picking apart. Being curious about a system and picking at it so much you find flaws in it.

I'd also consider engineers that hack things together. Being creative with what you have, also helps when stringing vulnerabilities together.

Creativity and curiosity are good traits of a hacker and being a hacker is a good trait of a programmer.
I think intersectional thinking clouds their understanding of the power relationship. Ordinarily, a public health person recognize non-college rural people as a disadvantaged group, and understand that these people may have less trust, be working with poor information, etc. Getting those people to use available health services is Public Health 101.

But in an intersectional analysis, “non-college rural whites” is near the top of the “oppressor” hierarchy. I think that causes people to perceive their attacks as “punching up” against more powerful people who are being willfully malicious.

You're right. The railroads have to pay all the costs associated with the tracks, the truckers shifted those costs onto everyone else.

> old single tracks into recreational bike trails

This is rampant in Seattle. They've not only torn up the tracks and turned them into bike trails, in order to install light rail, they've had to blast new right-of-ways at incredible cost.
It seems like the causal answer of "the sky is blue because the atmosphere scatters electromagnetic radiation from the sun and tends to scatter shorter-wavelength blue light more" is both more clear and less imbued with the moral context brought about by the use of "harmful". When you say harmful, it calls to question "harmful to whom and why?", which is important in its own right but wasn't part of the original question "why is the sky blue"? I agree that it's important to look at the context, the purpose-driven layers surrounding the "purpose of the sky being blue", but I think that in this case the causal answer is the more concise and confined.
"all of the things that are evil also don't work" is very a convenient belief. It's also wrong.
No - the point is that at first Sweden had a no-policy, basically, which didn't work out for old people. So that changed that a little, and it seems to have worked much better.

The idea is that since the first wave and them changing their stance slightly - Sweden is not performing an order of magnitude worse than Norway and Finland, and it's pretty average compared to the rest of Europe - and definitely doing better than Russia.

Yet they did better than the US, UK and Spain which also engaged in lockdown measures. This also fails to acknowledge that there might be a worthwhile set of cost:benefit ratios to compare your single data point against.

People accuse the COVID situation of being political and dividing people. I think one of the major lines of division is in the expectations that one has about their daily life in a given society, and how few some people have about their own.

Each to their own, but the failure to acknowledge the validity of the opposing point of view, even in a polite tone, is a troubling development.

> In summary many people hypothesize that natural infection is better because it induces a broader and more balance antibody response, but the literature has not established consensus that this is necessarily "better" in terms of health outcomes for individuals.

Great summary - I have seen no evidence that natural immunity is better. The opposite could be true. A nucelocapsid-specific immune response cannot be used to kill live virus (the nucleocapsid is not accessible for binding on the surface of a live virus). This means natural immunity will result in an intense off-target immune response (in addition to an intense on-target one for the spike). That off-target response elevates the chances of collateral tissue damage (cytokine storm).

> Also it doesn't look good to repeat a racist fox news soundbite that's already been debunked about how the blacks are invading our cities and spreading covid [1].

This is a strawman argument. The OP proposed that on average whites are more vaccinated than blacks, which your citation supports. So vaccine marketing should target the biggest vaccine skeptics, otherwise the racially inequal outcomes will only grow.

The Telegraph's title glosses over other factors, so hey: This one ^ does too!

I am relieved by my region's luck and the collective will to move the goalpost of success to be 'limiting the number of people dying of COVID'. It has been basically normal life domestically besides scattered lockdowns for 5 million people, without losing parents, grandparents; 1 death per M here compared to Sweden's 1425, USA's 1895.

National vaccination rate is lagging, on track to be sufficient in October, when the national modelling (Doherty) shows we will be sweet to test, trace, isolate, quarantine our way to control/suppression without need for further lockdown ad infinium. Just one precarious month in the way...

You are of course right that the driver needs to be alert while driving.

hacker = diy = punk = black flag?

The words mean so many things. It usually starts with being curious and learning how things work and then going one step further and using that technology in ways no one expected.

A programmer was never a hacker. Many hackers program but most programmers do not hack.

Just because you have been working in computers since 8 it doesn't make you a hacker. Taking something and using it in unexpected ways would need to be part of it. None of this matters without the right philosophy of curiousity and discovery.

The things that jumps out to me is how statistics and studies like this shape the larger cultural discussions, legal discussions, and public policy discussions.

I would doubt they went far enough to get meaningful measurements. I think this is just more of the Ivy League enriching itself at the bottomless climate feeding trough. The discovery that light colors absorb less heat isn’t remarkable. I would be embarrassed to see this if I were an MIG alumnus. Statements about replacing all pavement in a metropolitan area (that doesn’t even patch its potholes) are so out of touch that they discredit the whole article.

I would add that city people underestimate or simply do not know about the ability of vegetation to cool off its environment. My city has areas (few abandoned plots) with a wild high grass and bushes on them. When it’s hot and you walk nearby, like 2-3m close, it is as if you went from the street to under AC. I don’t know how they do it, but my guess is that photosynthesis is a hell of an endothermic process. And you’re right, modern “city trimming” is just a disgusting non-functional nonsense.

That’s my point—what you’re looking at is low vaccination rates among disadvantaged groups. Public health officials have just forgotten that non-college rural whites are one of those groups.

And this medication is already approved by the FDA for those of us who are diabetic. At higher doses, even.

They’re just taking the same medication and using it at lower doses for weight loss instead of diabetes control.

And frankly, as a fat diabetic, I strongly suspect it’s doing the exact same thing in both cases, and the reason it works for diabetics is that it helps them lose weight.

It’s definitely on my list to discuss with my endocrinologist.

I work as a customer representative in a mineral company here, was earning a little bit okay $1400 monthly, with my two kids I decided that I need to invest, the taught of my investment came after I meant a guy online who makes me feel comfortable and always talk me into self-employed business, I decide to always seek for his advice and he gave me a broker site where I can invest and have profit within a short period of time, I do really trust him but after I invested into the crypto site I discover he was behind everything and I have lost all my savings to him without knowing how he gets into me and lure me with his sweet fuckin words, he ruined my life and I couldn't be myself anymore. So i decide to seek for help, omg... any attempt i make i get more scammed couldn't figure out who was real and who wasn't and at the end of it all i came up with a decision that nothing on the internet is real again. after 2 months i gave up on recovery the money i sent to broker site by bitcoin payment which is up to $73,992 i was on Spotify trying to get some lonely songs for myself when i came across wizardharry (@) programmer (.) net, it sounded real but i was scared to contact him cause it seems i'm not just lucky with making money on investment maybe i had to work through out my whole lifetime so i ignored but i was in a worker meeting when a discussion lead to bitcoin scam and i heard one of my co-worker saying wizard Harry got her funds back and i ask her how she reached him and she gave me this WhatsApp (+1) 807-808-6168, i reached out to Wizard Harry immediately i got home and we talked for long and i decide to put him to test, to end the whole story, i got more than what i loss on my new blockchain wallet, i was scared at first until he explained to me, a big thanks to the only real recovery hacker online and that's wizard Harry who i have experienced his magic wizard.

> ...Looking at the handwriting for reel 1, it appears that the transmission session number is rather 709, not 109.

Perhaps, I'm mistaken, however in support of this reading speaks also the mission's Lunar day numbering [1]

This places the March session recordings, as marked on the reel (509,...) on the 5th Lunar mission day, then May session recordings could correspond to the 7th Lunar mission day (thus 709).

Again, just a hunch. Maybe the narrator announces the number clearly on that May tape.

> The Afghan government’s own anti-corruption authorities mainly prosecuted political enemies.

This point seems crucial. If there were a way to engineer the composition and incentives of an anti-corruption body such that it prosecuted genuinely corrupt individuals, regardless of political affiliation, then there might be some selective pressure towards less corrupt people being given power.

Of course it's hard to bootstrap that process if the court system itself is corrupt, but requiring jury trials and video evidence would be a good start. The anti-corruption body would therefore be mainly tasked with carrying out sting operations against officials that they receive complaints about, using a "mystery shopper" approach to see if a bribe is requested (or accepted).

I won't work at an office anymore, even if I get paid less for working remotely (although I've always made mode working remotely than working in Orange County, CA where I live), because it's just better, and I'm more productive. Even when I worked close to home, I still wasted an hour in commute and parking, and maybe another hour getting ready for work, etc. Not to mention all the risks associated with the commute, the respiratory diseases we keep catching from sick people who don't stay home and prefer to cough and sneeze in the faces of their coworkers just to show off as the world's greatest workaholics.
