I'm all for creating feedback loops that can create the self-fulfilling prophesies of a fossil fuel free energy future and a human civilization on Mars. Seems to be working pretty well so far.
Speaking personally - not always do I notice the mosquito.

But I have noticed often enough to note the difference. For me, the smaller, more stealthy mosquitos give me the small, temporary bump, but the larger more noticeable ones like the tiger mosquito or what we call zebra mosquitos (I think they are actually western encephalitis mosquitos (!)) have a more dramatic reaction.
Quantum gravity gets the headlines, but only a pretty tiny minority of physicists actually work on stuff like that. Most people are researching problems much closer to hand. Basically the utopia you're looking for is already here.
If it's for creators, you have a built in sales list. Go to all of your potential customers and send an IG, FB, Twitter, etc. and ask to talk to them. You probably wont get responses from people with 2M followers but thats not your target audience, they already have a business built around them.

Once you do this, the creators will spread the product for you if it's good. Being a creator is all about collaboration so they are used to this in terms of the products they use and sharing those products with their peers (and communities)

In terms of distribution, this is a relatively easy one to solve. The classic: Figure out who your customer is and talk to them, you have it easy in that your customers are TRYING to be visible.

Where are you getting the 2x going rate number? I see in this link (from your wiki page) that they are estimating the background occurence to be between 2-16 per 1M. It also explains why they think Germany's numbers are higher. The UK numbers would still be in line with the background range I found earlier (2-5 per 1M). Either way, I think it's still consistent with the idea that events with low background rates are easier to catch because each event carries more significance and is less likely to face bias from the doctor to write it off as in related.

"No doubt that underreporting is a real issue, but how is it different to Covid or any other drug/disease? Wouldn't you agree that underreporting is lowest in a pandemic?"

I don't think it's significantly different. The emergency use order did carry additional reporting requirements, but it also opened it up to be administered by people who would not normally administer vaccines and would not likely be familiar with VAERS, and in some cases patients doesn't know who administered it to contact them to file the report. If you couple this with the massive increase in vaccines administered, I think the number of unreported events are higher now, but the rate is likely similar to before. That's just my guess based on the reasons above and my own experiences. Why do you think it would be lowest now?

"How likely do you think your theory is? Have you spoken to a medical professional or an immunologist about your theory?"

I'm not sure how likely it is. I feel like it depends mostly on the individual, like most autoimmune diseases do. I did discuss this with a doctor and they said that it is a reasonable question and theory that appears not to have any studies looking into either side of it. It's possible we won't know for years or decades, especially since we don't even know how autoimmune antibodies levels lead to disease in general.
Yes, but the energy generated is only 70% of the energy put in.
As has been copiously pointed out, I don't think a corded mouse has been an option from Apple for a long, long time.

I mean the Magic Mouse -- the one that makes some people enraged because you can't use it and charge it at the same time. (Turns out: this is literally never a problem.)

Of course, mice (and keyboards, and pens, and notebooks, and and and and and) are intensely personal items, and what works for me is just that: what works for me. I don't really use Windows except in remote desktop sessions, so compatibility with MSFT doesn't matter to me. I don't play games on my computer much anymore, but when I did I used a trackball that, if memory serves, didn't require any drivers.
> There is no pot of money in between that defines limits or possibilities. We should by all means spend time thinking about what it would be good to spend $ 5 trillion on, but given the available resources and the amount of slack at our disposal that is a case to be made independent of the spending on the war.

Bollocks. The amount of productivity of each worker and the primary productivity of the land is finite.

That is The Pot.

Anything that drains that pot results in a poorer country.

> The “nuts” were also saying covid was coming and was dangerous and were called crazy xenophobes.

I only ever saw people saying that calling it things like "Wuhan Flu" was xenophobic.
Yes. When we started the "War on Terror", there should have been a "War Tax". As there was in WWI and WWII. "During the Second World War, the top individual tax rate rose to 94 percent and remained at 91 percent for nearly two decades—until 1964."
Rumor has it Russia is developing such a system today (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9M730_Burevestnik)

Of course, you never know whether that’s wishful thinking by the Russian and/or US military. The Russians may exaggerate how far they are in order to increase deterrence, and the Americans may exaggerate in order to get the money to get even bigger toys)
> the known risks of COVID-19 likely outweigh the unclear risks of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines for pregnant and breastfeeding people

Emphasis on "likely" - the authors do not conclude with any certainty, they're speculating based on the available evidence, just like you.

I guess your personal threshold for "plenty of reason to conclude" is lower than mine, and that's okay - to each their own.

But it's very clearly spelled out in the sources I cited: currently there is limited evidence demonstrating the safety and benefit profiles needed to conclude that every child and every pregnant woman should be vaccinated.
I'm surprised about the inventory thing. I ride an 03 Cannondale road bike that uses all standard stuff— screw-in bottom bracket, band-on front derailleur, 9-speed shifters. I've always been able to get parts for it off the shelf at multiple shops, to the point that basically nothing on it is original other than the frame.

But this has even been the case with my much-weirder winter bike, my kids' bikes that have off-brand shifters, etc.

I know Sheldon Brown (RIP) catalogues a true nightmare history of incompatibilities that have built up over the years, but I think in reality, most of that stuff is pre-1990. If you have a non-imported bike purchased in the last three decades, it's going to either be Shimano or be knockoff parts that are Shimano-compatible.
As a customer, I only needed customer service from them once (in the over 10 years I've been buying from them). My experience was truly terrible, and I ended up losing my money.

Why are only very few services supporting WebAuthn?

Google and github supprot WebAuthn, but most services only support OATH-TOTP, OATH-HOTP or even worse only their own app.
You might want to add, that Roccat supported the reverse engineering effort in this case by providing hardware and approving the use of certain sound files:

> The reversed hardware is kindly provided by Roccat.

> The sound files and the Roccat logo are property of Roccat and are used with their approval.

A few years back, I owned a Roccat mouse myself and was delighted to find a decent Linux driver for it.
I use this daily instead of python3 as a simple calculator via the repl, and for that purpose it is indistinguishable from python.
The only things pushed were masks and vaccines. Nothing about Vitamin D (or C for that matter) supplementation. No push for healthy lifestyles or reduction of obesity rate. Nothing about developing new mask or shield technologies. Nothing about the use of UV light safe to stand in that kills virus. Nothing about ventilation system technology. Or permanently moving some activities outdoors.

We should have had a full-court press in all areas to fight this virus. Not just a $100 billion for big pharma for a vaccine that always works, except when it doesn't. It's no wonder 25% of the US have adopted the idiotic position that they wont accept a mask or vaccine. People are so done with the 'new normal' for this week that just needs to be accepted.
It’s not so much cognitive capability, but experience and knowledge. This is well beyond the experience and knowledge of many professional senior software engineers, let alone someone who hasn’t actively worked at NVIDIA/etc on video chips. She’s figured all this out on her own — not even a full CS degree at a top tier school would go into this level of detail to know how these chips & drivers work, let alone reverse engineer a cutting edge chip from a black box. Reverse engineering is its own skill set, and be the first in the world in this uncharted territory means this isn’t your first time reverse engineering something. It isn’t her first, which makes it even more impressive what she was doing at an earlier age. That combination of self-drive, knowledge, and talent is extremely rare… even more rare when her peers are wanting to hang out and do normal teen stuff!!!
Your case would be stronger if you linked an article that argues that chickenpox was the culprit. The article you quote suggests that the disease was leptospirosis.
Are you drunk?

I did not make the "killing all life" remark, it's by another commenter. I specifically said to target an exterminate the Taliban.

"Not every war is going on with goal of killing everyone in an area. So while civilians always die, what you propose has that extra step of being genocide."

No that is the exact opposite of what I propose!

"Yes, because your plan is to not just kill them, but to kill everyone around."

What!?
The last time I interviewed, I did it full-time for about a month. Was kind of fun actually: you're solving isolated little coding problems, talking with companies about their engineering and business challenges, meeting smart and friendly people, and at the end of it all you get a big pay raise. The downside is mostly that it's a ton of scheduling calls and on-sites (back when those were in person).

At the end of that month, it really did feel like I was a professional interviewer.
go give away all your money and possessions right now

anything less is just selfishness and not caring about the greater good and health of society, your neighbours, colleagues, friends or family.
If you want to wage expensive wars and need to pay for it, you have two basic options: squeeze your people, or squeeze somebody else's people.

It doesn't matter what your political slant is or even your economic philosophy. You don't even have to be constrained by your own economy. And even if you were, "your economy" might be so wound-up in the economies of other nations that those other nations end up supplementing your economy enough to pay for the war. Or you can just pillage. In any case, the money always comes from the people; you just have to figure out which people that ended up being.

There is of course the third option: "don't pay for it". In that case, your government (or rulers) are generally doomed, because there is always somebody with money who will see your faltering state as a juicy investment or acquisition. We seem to be in a "peaceful period", as countries like Venezuela still haven't been snapped up; but rest assured that somebody (cough China cough) will be by eventually to pick it up and give it a new coat of paint.
I'm not so sure about that. For example, with robots you can run "for GENE in GENOME do ..." For humans even thinking about what that statement does is a lot of work already!
> (a) people can recognize their sins and repent

He was fired because he chose to actively interfere with the ongoing investigation. He has also been posting rambling rants to Facebook that attack his accusers. That's the opposite of accountability and repentance.

> (b) that human progress is more important than some adequately small hurt feelings

What a terrible false dichotomy as well as minimization of the issue. This issue demonstrates that de Grey is not a competent nor trustworthy leader. There is no upside to leaving him in place and tacitly condoning this behavior.

> I tend to take the side of the accused in these modern day witch hunts

Please don't. You can simply choose to not participate at all rather than blindly picking a side and arguing for that person without bothering to check the details.

I haven't looked into who might have built on top of OBS in the way you describe, but I agree it is a powerful possibility thanks to the efforts of its maintainers and GPLv2.
>a title that makes it sound unjustified

At time of writing, the title is "Twitter adds warning label to tweet from Liberal candidate Chrystia Freeland", and the subtitle is "Liberal party says it disagrees with label and is seeking explanation from Twitter". That seems like a pretty neutral tone to me, unless I'm misunderstanding something.
Lots of down-votes and no replies tells me this is striking some nerves - anyone care to articulate why you disagree with or do not support these statements?
Wondering what kind of experience it is. I hope you're not one of the refugees on the Belarus/Poland border where both governments are pushing and shoving them around as if they were hot potatoes.

What you described above, about doing paperwork, has one trait: those government institutions live by the book and die by the book. A frustrated official may act against you as long as regulations permit him, but you can use just the same regulations against him right back. I mean if you live in a democracy, even a shitty one.

There are, though, no restraints whatsoever on what a private company may do, and entrusting them with that much of one's life is foolish. Because you don't even get to see the rulebook, like, ever. Employees reading your private messages daily? Well boo hoo, cry me a river, and it's probably in one of those ToS amendmends you agree to or else get booted out.

A major problem with hyper-Keynesian MMT advocates is that it relies on:

- Having the global reserve currency

- Being able to raise taxes at will to fight inflation

It may be possible that with a one-world government and global agreement on central currency that we could get to this. But instead the US only has the global reserve currency, and the political will to print it seemingly infinitely, but not the ability to raise taxes dynamically.

We are already seeing high inflation (by recent US standards) that is beginning to become politically untenable. A full-throated MMT policy would be impossible in the current environment.

Even worse there are major threats to USD as the global reserve currency, from Bitcoin to China RMB. I fear the politicians are playing with fire and the lack of fiscal discipline will lead to serious backlash and the reduction in global financial power for the US.
I think you could do it in 5-6hr of driving starting in Portland (drive to coast, drive to Mt Hood, and then drive east somewhere, maybe Shaniko). Without traffic (hah) its probably about 2hr less driving in LA (LA->Santa Monica->Big Bear(if there is snow)->Lucerne Valley)
also keep in mind that any "children" statistic refers to people anywhere in the range of 0-18
Yeah, I live in Tokyo and think that the Michelin Guide has no idea what good Japanese food is and should be disregarded there lol. I only really trust it for expensive European fare.
This does not inspire confidence in the idea of making the batteries part of the car's structure.
TS by itself is a great language even without the JS support. The Node ecosystem has a lot of shortcomings which Deno aims to solve. I disagree with your assertion that Deno is a fanboy invention in search of a problem. If the creator of Node, started Deno, then obviously there is some merit to his thought process.
The fact this is an unpopular opinion drives me crazy.

It's clear masks stop droplets. That's not in question. It's clear masks work for healthcare workers who are trained in their use.

If we could get similar momentum we have with gcc and LLVM behind projects like yosys and nextpnr, FPGAs would be much more useful and likely be a larger market overall.

I'm willing to personally donate 10k a year to projects like these to liberate myself from crappy vendor tools that I can't improve.
Aren't we protecting our health systems? Mississippi is out of ICU beds[0]. As in, if you are in critical condition for ANY REASON, you're just out of luck. Kids are gross. They're going to spread disease. Why not take a (relatively simple) precaution that can save lives, including people who didn't even catch COVID.

It's like how I look both ways before turning onto or crossing a one-way. Sure, it probably doesn't help much, but there's a chance that it could save my life and another driver's.

There are various techniques for that. For example with RNAseq you can measure which genes are expressed as a result of an experiment.
Also the wind speed and capacity factor increase with height. Because as you go higher the wind speed increases. And becomes more consistent. That was a problem with early wind turbines.

You say "sound evidence" and then name some circumstantial evidence. This is similar types of evidence used for the "Fort Detrick origin" story. It was shut down in August 2019 for safety violations, and the Wuhan military games "could be" how it spread to China.

> "The SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are a "political wedge issue" not because of the "conspiracy nut in every village", but because the scientific literacy of the general public is astonishingly low, and the second and third order consequences of public health policy are tremendously complex."

This. Feels like the future depends on identifying the root cause of these issues and working to overcome them.
Completely agree. This would make for a good travel blog format / page template.
In pandemics, you isolate only the sick, treat them, and offer prophylaxis to vulnerable groups.

In COVID, we isolated everyone, sick and healthy (utterly unprecedented), then flooded the most vulnerable with sick people (bizarre care home mismanagement), and refused to give treatment or prophylaxis to anyone until they couldn't breathe, at which point they were put on a ventilator.

In some places, that's still the protocol. Others have learned from these mistakes and moved on.

When everyone has, COVID will cease to be a problem.

The original approach has worked for every other novel virus pandemic we've had - which happen regularly every few years. Even the very same people at Imperial College made similarly dire predictions for some of those pandemics at the time - and yet none registered more than a fraction of a flu season.

That original protocol, used repeatedly for years, was abandoned and effectively reversed for COVID, with ongoing disastrous results as anyone can plainly see.

If bikes get to that point, that means buying parts online to me. Making it hard to get parts is not generally supportive of cycling IMO.

I buy almost all of my parts to service our cars online. Amazon, RockAuto, and brand-specific parts suppliers (PeachParts, HandA/Bernardi, Ricambi, etc.) I can recall going to a physical dealer 3 times in the last 20 years and each time it was for a “I need it exactly this afternoon and I’m willing to pay for it in dollars and inconvenience”.
