> Not having hospitals seriously compromises quality of life.

A non-trivial percentage of healthcare workers were infected in 2020 and recovered with natural immunity to Covid. Some of those feel strongly enough about vaccine mandates that they are prepared to move jurisdictions or retire, which would exacerbate existing staffing shortages in some hospitals. If we don't want more hospital shortages, we should reconsider unnecessary vaccine mandates for those with hard-earned natural immunity, which includes nasal/mucosal immunity, unlike intramuscular vaccines that were developed for symptom reduction, https://www.statnews.com/2021/08/10/covid-intranasal-vaccine...

> Vaccines that are injected into the arm have done a spectacular job at preventing severe disease and death. But they do not generate the kind of protection in the nasal passages that would be needed to block all infection. That’s called “sterilizing immunity.” The fact that the vaccines don’t block all infections and don’t prevent vaccinated people from transmitting isn’t a big surprise, said Kathryn Edwards, a vaccine expert at Vanderbilt School of Medicine.

The UK's SAGE also commented on nasal (inhaler) vaccine development and the consequences of non-sterilizing intramuscular vaccines for variants, https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/long-term-evoluti...

> Whilst we feel that current vaccines are excellent for reducing the risk of hospital admission and disease, we propose that research be focused on vaccines that also induce high and durable levels of mucosal immunity in order to reduce infection of and transmission from vaccinated individuals. This could also reduce the possibility of variant selection in vaccinated individuals.

BTW, the argument isn't as simple as "because master has etymological origins in the concept of slavery" because "master" has many varied meanings (see https://www.etymonline.com/word/master ), the slavery one was not the first, and at most only a tiny fringe want to change terms like "master's degree" or "master mariner" to something else.

This is very interesting.

The only thing I'd add, is that almost all the points in favor of Poland can also be applied to Montreal (not the cheap flights to nearby cities part). For the less adventurous, it is worth considering :)

Note that it appears that it is still unknown how likely breakthrough infections are to result in long Covid. The very limited data that does exist indicates that the likelyhood is rather high (~20%).

How is it disgusting for a lender to be able to look up someone's credit history and determine if they are an appropriate credit risk for them?

The alternative is everyone gets (or does not get at all) credit on the same terms without regards to personal behavior or risk profiles, which is a valid option, but I would still think "disgusting" is a strong word to describe the prior scenario.

> I just dont see how getting a shot every year or six months for eternity is a viable solution

What do you mean? We have yearly flu vaccinations.
I misremembered the numbers but if you click to the linked analysis the numbers are correct there.

As to the delta variant overwhelming hospitals, that's partially because hospitals are firing nurses that won't get vaccinated. The lack of beds is primarily a staffing problem and hospitals are shooting themselves in the foot. I've also heard they have been underpaying nurses and some are just quitting or switching to better-paying contract work.

Second, the media and even some hospital administration officials are blatantly deceiving people on actual hospital status: https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/08/06/fact-checking-4-claim...

There's a whole section there debunking the claims, for instance, that hospitals in Florida are overwhelmed.

I don't think anyone thinks that "moving on" means forgetting, but I do think it does entail having the government get out of the business of mandating lockdowns, masks, or vaccines. The problem lies in the fact that the media were too successful in scaring people to death about COVID. It makes handling the virus in a sane way impossible without negative political fallout.

Top talent departs Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin as NASA lander fight escalates
I think the problem is that "calories in, calories out" is not that easy since it's hard to measure the calories in and the calories out precisely. "Calories out" especially, as most people will just tell people to use a TDEE calculator or some other approximation. When you're then asking them to have a 500 calories deficit, it is very possible that it won't work for them as they (as in, the tool they used) overestimated the "calories out" part.

Edit: to expand on that, "calories in, calories out" is a classic motte and bailey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motte-and-bailey_fallacy). Here the motte is "it's easy for anyone to lose weight, just input a few numbers in a few apps". The bailey is "calories in, calories out is scientifically true". I've never seen advocates of calories in, calories out offering a more precise way to measure the consumption of calories than a TDEE calculator that you can find online, where you usually input your weight, height, age and sex. The "calories in" part is easier to deal with, as if you measure everything you put in your mouth, you have the upper bound of the calories you can absorb. Still, the calories out are hard to measure reliably, especially in people that already have a slower metabolism than others (which makes it easier for them to gain weight in the first place).

There's also the distinction that "calorie intake" is often meant as "what you put into your mouth" but is actually "what you actually absorb".
The problem is that someone has a full control over that device in the end (to keep this argument simple, let's ignore how apple or google fits into this picture). And you and a company you are working for may not agree on who that admin should be. On a device I own and fully control, I would be able to create a separate user profile for work, but the company may not like how I manage the device nor can it ensure that I follow a company security policy when using my personal device. And vice versa, I won't be comfortable with creating a private profile on a company controlled device.
> it wouldn't have done so with higher vaccination rates

That is the rhetoric that Fauci and others have been pushing, but the scientific literature is accumulating mounting evidence that counters the claim. Not to mention the data out of Israel - which has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world - is also strong evidence against your claim. Israel is struggling with overwhelmed hospitals due to variants reducing the efficacy of vaccination and also naturally acquired immunity.

FWIW I'm keeping an open mind, please cite primary sources to support your claim and I will happily consider them.
This seems quaint to me. The real reason to not use a personal device for work is discovery. As soon as you do work someone can trace back to that device, there’s the potential for someone to seek a warrant for that device. Even if it’s some chucklehead you don’t even know within the corporation who’s being investigated, all you had to do was send an email to someone they sent an email to. And now the courts can demand your stuff. Let’s assume everything everyone does is perfectly legal, it’s still a massive inconvenience tax, and that alone is a good reason to not do it. I carry two phones and two machines (Corp laptop, personal iPad). They want me, they can give me the machines to contact me.

Sorry, I was only disagreeing with the summary "You're mostly fine [because you are fully vaccinated]". I agree with everything else you said. My only disagreement is that I read "you're mostly fine" implying that it's still ok to resume (or in this case continue) regular activities. In my opinion, that is definitely no longer true if you live in or near an area with overburdened hospitals, and at the very least changes your calculations in other areas because it's again important to reduce transmission.

Before Delta, I felt like reducing transmission was good but not that important compared to the disadvantages of isolation. Delta shifted the tradeoff back in the other direction. How much is debatable, but personally I feel that quite a few activities that were ok, aren't anymore. I'm definitely still doing more than pre-vaccination, though.

It really depends on the virus. For some viruses, the vaccines are far more effective and less risky and have helped eliminate or mostly eliminate the virus entirely. For other viruses, vaccines are far less effective.

The Israel data is clearly showing natural immunity doing better for COVID, and every other peer-reviewed study I have seen shows natural immunity doing "at least" as well as vaccinated immunity.

This is extremely naive. Populations that rebel against authoritarian governments get slaughtered. Even Americans protesting get gassed and beaten. Imagine the state and military turned against the majority of Americans. You wouldn't stand a chance. Labor disputes in Iran, fuel cost protests, all have been absolutely brutal. Look up footage and then come back and tell unarmed Iranians who are just getting by to go to war with that.

Furthermore, the last time Iranians chose their own government, the CIA and MI6 immediately overthrew that government and installed their own puppet. [1]

It shouldn't matter, because it's irrelevant to the point of the article, which is that Facebook (at least as reported) leaves a hacking victim with little or no recourse to get their account, and sometimes livelihood back.

An imperfect real-world analogy of your question is like asking about what precise brand of bear mace an assault victim was or was not carrying, and whether a better one would have helped. Perhaps it would have, but that's not the point. If having hardware tokens is so important, Facebook should be making them mandatory at its scale.
Agree that it's not hard to port numbers. I think the larger potential issue is if you are working for a smaller company that is not as smooth with these transactions, or if you end up with an acrimonious situation where — whoops, we forgot to give you the porting key and now your phone number has been lost and there's literally no way to pull it back.

Yes, I understand the reason for the standards, and other things being equal I am all for following them. I just think it's strange that an organisation spying on someone's communications and then doing anything it otherwise couldn't and breaking anything as a result should be getting such a free ride. There is no law that says any web application you write has to follow those standards, and the only reason not doing so is a problem in this case is because the likes of Google didn't mind their own business.
Thanks for the link! Lots of interesting details in there. I'll attempt a TL;DR of points most relevant for non-Americans (but please check the article for context, particularly on numbers, and link to sources):

- Delta variant has ridiculously high R₀ - estimated to be between 5 and 9, where initial COVID-19 variants had it around 2 to 3.

- Viruses spread nonuniformly. Old COVID-19 (R₀ = 2-3) tended to spread through super-spreading events (few people infecting a lot more at a time). R₀ of 5-9 implies Delta variant doesn't need super-spreading events.

- This R₀ value also means it's not possible to eradicate the virus through vaccination or herd immunity - it's going to become endemic (which was always seen as a likely outcome anyway).

- Current vaccines have proven to be effective against the Delta variant, by significantly reducing infections (0.01% to 0.29% chance of breakthrough disease), such infections showing symptoms (~88% percent effective) and severity of those symptoms if they show up, as well as preventing hospitalization (~96% effective against Delta; >95% of all COVID patients in US hospitals are unvaccinated).

- There is evidence that vaccinated people can still transmit Delta, even if themselves they don't show symptoms. As expected, the virus seems to live shorter in the airways of vaccinated people.

- Above and high R₀ mean Delta can spread even through highly-vaccinated communities.

- Individually, for those who can get a shot, it's the best thing to do. Community-wise, we still need other precautions - like mask, widespread testing, hygiene, improvements in ventilation, to protect the vulnerable and slow the spread.

- Vulnerable groups now include children under 12 - they're not eligible for vaccination, and there's a growing (though still small) amount of children suffering from long-COVID and MIS-C.

- The end goal is still to slow the spread, to keep schools open and hospitals running, prevent healthcare personnel burnout, give time to develop better countermeasures and therapies, and let the economy slowly recover (instead of repeating 2020). Slowing the spread down also gives the virus less chances of mutating into a more problematic variant.
