It is still very early in vaccine trials. There are anecdotal reports of an increase in non-Covid health problems (e.g. reactivation of dormant infections that had previously been suppressed by the immune system) in those who had already recovered from Covid, then got vaccinated. That's separate from the tens of thousands of reports in VAERS and non-public (HMO) adverse event reporting systems for all Covid-vaccinated people, whether or not they were previously recovered.
Received same thing. Called and also same - phone disconnected.
Presumably two different instances of this clock would have different tick rates due to the specific crystal used and it's very difficult to produce two identical crystals.

An atomic clock is very consistent across devices as it exploits the properties of an element which is much more repeatable (just have to have a quantity of the element).

I meant violence as a term for physical force and related actions, but I should have been more explicit about that.

I 100% agree that it is not peaceful, I think I just (incorrectly) assumed a specific definition of the word.

The vaccinated may be just as capable of spreading covid, but they’re less likely to be infected in the first place.
I don't know what that is. Put a bacteria and an antibiotic in a petri dish, and the bacteria can evolve in a way that has greater antibiotic resistance. Put a vaccine in a petri dish with a virus, and nothing happens. Bacteria are living organisms. Viruses are not.
I suppose the phrase can reflexive, although I have to admit this is the first time I had heard of the concept, and "cliche" appears to imply long-and-tired usage.

It doesn't appear to be a common thought terminator, certainly not on the level of "conspiracy theory", the application of which we have seen, in both extreme and humorous terms, with respect to the covid lab-leak hypothesis, for example.
In the 1970s the US required MMR shots for attendance in public schools and the disease quickly tapered off - we've done this before and, so long as the vaccinations aren't inducing a financial burden on individuals that are unable to afford it - I see no issue with requiring vaccination if you want to share a close space with others. A lot of potential partners will reject you if you're unable to provide negative STD results - this isn't all that different.

Oh also - a small pedantic correction. There is a formal thing in the US called the No Fly List and I've heard absolutely nothing about putting people onto it for not getting vaccinated - there has been discussion to restrict your ability to fly if you're unvaccinated though which... would be easy to fix (unlike getting off the No Fly List) by simply getting the shot.
> but I guess effects (like cancelling echos from participants who use speakers instead of headphones, or reducing noise from crappy mics) also play a role.

I wonder if there is a market for a meeting app that has the best quality of them all, by not trying to poorly work around bad environments, but simply booting people out of meetings until they fix their setup.

Yes, it would suck if you or someone you really need something from get booted, but after a few weeks everyone's setup would likely be fixed so this would no longer be a frequent issue, and in exchange, you wouldn't have 20+ people get driven mad by someone giving a hour-long presentation over Bluetooth audio.

I feel like shitty audio quality is responsible for at least 80% of the 'zoom brain' effect.
Thought my old NAS was going bad because the cheap power transformer I bought off of Amazon went bad (after the old one failed completely). Guess it wouldn't put out the wattage.

I actually bought a whole spare diskless NAS off of ebay, and wound up only using the transformer that came with it ($150 or so for a $15-ish transformer).

True. A longer asymptomatic incubation period is also an evolutionary advantage.

That’s interesting - I’d heard of Iceland and Costa Rica doing that, didn’t realize any EU countries were doing the same.

What proportion of the early wave of deaths in Covid was due to premature intubation, in your guesstimation?

Thank you.
What would be the point? Is there any question about whether it will be approved. I don't think this (not bothering with process) is how it should go, but we're past the point of there being any value in spending any energy on this aren't we?

What I don’t understand about this is they were most likely an at-will employee. So the company could have just said “new policy, sign it”.

I had an employer do this - I was working there a few years, owner came in and said “we’re doing background checks, fill this out and sign it”. I asked what happened if something came back on it, and he said that I’d be fired.
Losing 12.5kg without exercise would leave you quite weak and likely in a “skinny fat” state.

Aerobics is indeed not a good way to lose weight and yes you can’t outrun a bad diet but simply eating less isn’t a good solution because you end up with a low metabolic rate at the tail end of it and you’ll gain that rather quickly.

Weight training with eating at or just above sustenance for your target weight (as long as it’s now below 10-15% of your current rate) is really the best way to go.

You end up building muscle which maintains or even increases your metabolism and unless you starve yourself (or you had an extremely high muscle mass to being with) you’ll maintain and likely even increase your muscle mass even with an effective caloric deficit.

You won’t come out as a body builder out of this regiment, but you’ll lose weight and or do a body transformation over a course of 3-6 months depending on how much weight you actually want to lose.

That said it doesn’t work that well if you are obese and in terrible shape at that point diet + low intensity mobility exercise is needed until you can get into a shape that would allow you to do weight training without injuring yourself.

I do agree that the time of your meals isn’t that critical yes it has an effect but most people aren’t in a spot when they need to min max everything, macros, fasting, and other shenanigans can make a difference and when stacked correctly a big one but they also require even bigger investment and self control.

Find the minimal effort routine that would prevent you from turning into the humans from WAL-E and stick with it, it’s far easier to do something for 1-2 months longer if it’s less demanding than put in a lot of effort to try to get there a little bit faster.

Beyond that just maintain a reasonable level of strength to defer the effects of aging. If you are a male and you can’t bench your body weight in your mid 30’s or do pull ups you are weak.

Between Google's habit of handling data carelessly (mining data it shouldn't[1][2], keeping your data when you delete it[3], let others look into your data[4]), as a consumer I can't say I'm sad ; especially when you end up not having a choice, since the decision is made by your healthcare provider - and you might end up in their records without even knowing.

Not that others may necessarily be better, but they also don't have the same existing power.

The evolution of what people understand as violence simply evolved hand in hand with the evolution of our understanding of medical conditions, especially psychiatric disorders.

That's a wee bit embarassing. Back when I was in high school, we made a robotic arm dance autonomously, and we didn't have a press conference for it (though obnoxious music was admittedly part). It's a little funny that all the R&D money in the world won't make you a humanoid robot prototype these days, so they decided to throw in the towel altogether. Good to see that Tesla has as little faith in these things as I do.
I've encountered a few manual processes for producing data recently that amount to query this thing from here, export this CSV from here then plug it into this sheet and write down the number.

It works, it produces the right number and probably only takes a few minutes of one person's time each month.

I'm still for automating this end to end, because it makes it auditable and tamper proof.

If the data is produced by some ETL job then any problems are bugs in the job, not because someone made a typo (or in the worst case falsified figures, etc - basically it's good to remove humans from the process)

I admit that I still don't know a single example of systematic AI bias in the absence of any data bias. I really want to improve my understanding of this topic. This article doesn't help either. It starts off with why we should address this bias without giving an example of it. In fact, the author skirts this issue altogether by first stating: "Here, we start out with a deceptively simple question: how does model design contribute to algorithmic bias?" and then moves into why this is an important issue! If you said "we start" then let's start indeed. Maybe I am not used to this style of writing?

As someone who uses both android and iphone I don't see a problem with this.

So what? The money is there, you can instantly have it back. It is quite common practice for many companies both in the car and in other industries.

if someone is advocating for changing language for everyone to protect the feelings of $MINORITY, without actually knowing any $MINORITY that objects to said language (or being one themselves), then disregards anecdotal instances of $MINORITY not objecting to said language, then the result is a belief that you know what changes to society should be made on behalf of $MINORITY, thus infantilizing them, portraying them as someone who can't speak up for themselves and portraying yourself as someone who knows better than $MINORITY what is best for $MINORITY.
This feels like yet another one of those "everything wrong with the world in microcosm" things.

From a high altitude, it's clearly insane to decimate wildlife for a niche product which can be made synthetically. Yet interacting networks of self-interest have conspired to cause American society to reject the clearly superior alternative. The guy whose job is to go out and catch horseshoe crabs doesn't know how to make synthetic crab blood - all he wants to do is catch even more crabs. He enjoys a monopoly on the product domestically - which leads to de-facto regulatory capture and insurmountable moat for potential competitors. Foreign companies attempt to step in, and now suddenly it's a question of national security and the heels really dig in.

The world is full of these awful traps. When will we learn that you can't just cross your fingers and hope that society spontaneously self-organizes into a sensible shape?
I stand by my post. None of this says anything remotely implying what you claimed, that the mass vaccination programs pose a serious public health risk. That is purely your speculation, vaguely inspired by the content of the papers.

Your contention that it matters whether the campaign is compulsory or not only takes you further from your supposed evidence base. It's not even in the same universe as what the papers are talking about, and is purely your own invention.

I understand that you're worried about vaccine escape, but to go from that to "compulsory mass vaccination is a serious public health risk" is a completely unwarranted leap. Your authors advocate for diversifying our defenses, not eliminating the only one we currently have.

It's absolutely horrific to bring up Native American populations considering the estimates on population loss range from 25% to 90% with most folks erring toward the 90% end of the range. As terrible as COVID has been we're no where near the level where - as a middle aged person with kids and parents[1] - it's expected that you'll be the only one to survive out of your extended family.

Estimates about the fatality of COVID put it way below the small pox epidemic in North America but that's an absolutely terrible example to draw on.

1. Assume your parents had two children - you both married and had two kids - that's ten people so choose one to survive (obviously epidemics don't actually work this way, but I've found it's the clearest way to demonstrate proportional mortality rates.
