You realize your original comment was about ending the pandemic faster than vaccines right?
From the December FDA report: "The expected duration of study participation is approximately 25 months".

At the time they dissolved the control group, the fatality rate in control and placebo were the same. By their very own data they did not have a strong case that they would be "condemning...a fraction of the control group to die.". One would have to make a leap. A plausible leap, but a leap nonetheless.

Let's assume though that the fatality rate across the population for COVID was 1%, a very high number, to be conservative. So in that case you'd expect ~150 preventable fatalities in the control group. We now have ~that many fatalities, in a single state (Massachusetts), from COVID-19, in people who were "fully vaccinated".

You can do the math and extrapolate that there are now orders of magnitude more deaths from "breakthrough infections" than might have been in the placebo control group. If we had known that the efficacy of these vaccines was going to fall significantly, might some of those deaths have been prevented? I think there's an argument to be made there.

Now we have statisticians scrambling over themselves with complex methods to figure out what the hell is going on, when we could have had the gold standard which would be quite simple to interpret, if we had kept those control groups.

Now some argue it would have been completely impractical to maintain that control group amidst a mass vax campaign (I think we should have tried, regardless). I think there's room to debate that. But in that case I think we need a vast upgrade to our data infra, because giving up the placebo control group was a huge loss (for truth and science, at least).
The default policy should be a normal non-masked school year. People pushing masks need to produce a hell of a lot of evidence that masks work and are worth all the negative effects they might have on kids. In addition they need a clearly defined exit strategy. They should also articulate what problem masks on kids are trying to solve.
I found it. Its in the colors section.
Ah, the problem may just be that I've never explored their full features. I think of them as those little square text notes you can put on the screen, and have never tried to do more with them. Given that understanding, I don't see how they'd map well to Notes, but if there are other ways to display or interact with them that I wasn't aware of, then maybe it does make sense.
I'm not sure what your conclusion is. YC should model itself after special operations? You just wanted to post an idealized description of special operations?

> Shortly before the FDA approved Vioxx in 1999, drug maker Merck launched a study it hoped would prove that Vioxx was superior to older painkillers, because it caused fewer gastrointestinal problems. Instead, the study would eventually show Vioxx could be deadly, causing heart attacks and strokes.

This lets you more easily reuse excel formulas (within a spreadsheet) without enabling VBA or extension modules, which is a big boon from a security standpoint.

Given the existing wonkiness of the excel formula programming model, anyone who already had a grasp of actual tables and array formulas (which to be fair, is already a small subset of excel formula users) will be able to pick up these pretty easily.
There is no real scientific evidence that disease severity is correlated with initial viral dose. It's a plausible hypothesis but so far due to ethical concerns no one has done the human challenge trials that would be necessary to settle that issue.
RE: emoji

Not all clients send unicode emoji; some send their own emoji, as the clients emoji support predate's unicode's emoji support (2010). Psi is one example off the top of my head.
There are a lot of issues here, but isn't a glaring one the fact that any random file browser window lets you get a shell? Shouldn't this be something for the developer to disable for their particular program if their use case of browsing to choose an install folder in no means requires it? Do the Microsoft APIs even allow for this kind of configuration?

Given they already have admin rights it's basically game over, but not having the option to open a shell would have still reduced the attack surface and required a "real" exploit to do so.
No. Quite the opposite.

It seems you can force people to get a vaccine in the middle of a pandemic. France is dealing with massive unrest [0] and are hemorrhaging medical staff [1] because they mandated vaccines for medical professionals (which doesn't make sense, the vaccine doesn't prevent a person from spreading the virus [2]).

My last Razer mouse did, as do both my Logitech mice.
As to "how does covid transmit to wild animals...", I think it is an excellent question, but I don't think we have a definitive answer. Clearly there is something about the transmission we don't understand (which suggests why current measures to halt the spread such as lockdowns, masks, etc. don't seem to work well).

As for the "stepped on many nerves", I think your comment was interpreted as meaning "we should stay at home and wear masks forever", whereas the general patience for such measures is wearing thin. My guess is that part of the reason for a rising rate of violent crime in the U.S. in the last twelve months is simply more people with rising frustration, such that they are more willing to resort to violence.

By the way it appears that white-tailed deer in the US have now also been found to have antibodies likely indicating covid-19 exposure: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.29.454326v1....

>So following your argument, we would also need to outlaw every sort of risk-taking behaviour.

We do outlaw almost every sort of behavior that risks OTHERS safety.

>Almost every sport except chess bears a risk comparable to what you say above.

I'm not aware of any sport which is mandatory, as far as I know everyone participating is doing so willingly.

>And most recreational activities also bear a risk that you might have an accident, which could put some stress on the people working at the hospital.

Again, I'm not aware of any recreational activity that is a required activity. I'm also not aware of any that are participated in by so many people that is simultaneously so risky that we have an issue with ICU beds. Can you name one? We have mountains of data showing that covid outbreaks stress hospital systems and are in fact doing that right now. I'm not aware of any evidence that sports or recreational activities do the same, but I'm open to learning.

>Heck, the helicopter pilot could crash while they bring you to safety, so you implicitly killed them.

The helicopter pilot voluntarily signed up to be a helicopter pilot, nobody forced him to do so.

>Sounds fine to me. I am blind and can not do most of the fancy recreational activities you sighted people are so fond of. So why should I care. In fact, I should immediately start a petition that makes your lifes more dull and miserable. But guess what, no. Thats not my thing. I am not an asshole.

Well, you're comparing recreational activities that carry low risk and have 0 history of causing an issue with ICU beds, to a disease which has an extremely high transmission rate, and is provably causing issues with ICU beds. So it makes your arguments seem rather silly.
Correlation is not causation. Just because “cases went down” doesn’t mean masks (or lockdowns) were responsible for the drop.

>national government commands, local supplies are about the worst of all possible worlds for high knowledge, long lead time, heavy research industries

Yet DARPA and company are behind like half of modern IT technology.

>Which is why you saw the Soviets do pretty well at heavy industry, but not so well at computers

Soviets were fairly behind the US in electronics to begin with, and they had massive production problems everywhere, including heavy industry(turns out that setting every price and production quota from Moscow wasn't really effective).
It's just that heavy industry was easier.
> Everyone I know had a much stronger reaction to the second shot than to the first

Counter-anecdata: everyone I know (in the UK[1]) had a much milder reaction to the second than the first - first one knocked most people out for a day or two; second one was half a day in the worst cases, couple of hours in the main.

[1] Which means AZ or J&J, I think, not Moderna. But it's anecdata, it's never going to be 100% helpful.

What rights have been permanently removed? For that matter, what RIGHTS have been even temporarily suspended?
So the CDC are not educated nor intelligent, I guess?

"Due to the circulating and highly contagious Delta variant, CDC recommends universal indoor masking by all students (age 2 and older), staff, teachers, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status."

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-...

Also, the very study NYMag talks about still recommends:
"Because universal and correct use of masks can reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission (6) and is a relatively low-cost and easily implemented strategy, findings in this report suggest universal and correct mask use is an important COVID-19 prevention strategy in schools as part of a multicomponent approach."
There are modern options with really quick startup speeds though, like LuaJIT or compiled Rust.

mass spraying DDT has some large unintended consequences.

probably so does preventing the propagation of certain genes.

when i mentioned unintended consequences i very specifically meant that no policy can be considered in a vacuum without considering externalities, blow back and the response to of human society to those policies.

for example, a world where aborton is illegal and clotheshanger abortions didn't happen isn't one of the possible options. it all needs to get tested against actual reality and not wishful thinking.

You are wrong or tartuffe. Vaccines focus only on Spike protein. And beside turning your cells into a toxin (spike) factory there are lot of other concerns. Any medical drugs is defined by a specific calibrated quantity and a locality to achieve a specific effect, cure,heal , or prevent a disease.
Traditionals vaccins comply with this definition. Injecting in a specific area, a calibrated quantity of weakened virus to train immune system to recognise and fight this specifcic virus is ouite safe and achieve the target on most peoples.

RNA technology is quite different as far as what is injected is the recipe for human cells to produce a protein in order for them to be released into blood as foreign body to train immune system to identify associated virus.

There is no way to control the specific and calibrated quantity of this production. Also there is no control about impacted area with the fact that produced proteins in a random quantity can migrate everywhere in the body.

Also for the produced protein to exit the cell there is several mechanism with observed risk that the protein sticks on the surface of the cell turning it into a foreign cell (to be destroyed) from immune system perspective.

So basically calling such technology "vaccin" is a lie. And adverse events are more likely to be far more massive than safe traditionals vaccins.

Not talking about injections conditions where basic health checkup to judge if the future jabbed is in optimal health conditions to be injected are not done.

Not talking about countries such as Israel where those products did not demonstrated the marketed level of protections.
It sounds a mistake to me, thinking that black holes' contents are still "out there". They are no longer observable, just like the galaxies that are no longer observable due to expanding universe.

In both cases it is due to curvature of space, so I think these are essentially the same case.

Sure.

Garasdil was approved by the FDA in 2006 and, as this press release shows [0], continued running studies into it as a condition of the approval. They conceded that full results could not be available before approval; “While the study period was not long enough for cervical cancer to develop, the prevention of these cervical precancerous lesions is believed highly likely to result in the prevention of those cancers.”

From what I can gather, the Phase III study participants continued to receive follow-up checks for at least a decade.

The sibling commenter covered the list well. To go into a little extra context on the reasoning:

fetch: Browser fetch didn't exist when NodeJS introduced its http built-ins. Many NodeJS libs are built on top of http built-ins, so replacing them would be a nightmare. Adding browser fetch on top of the existing http built-ins would similarly just give NodeJS a massive API surface area with cconfusingly duplicated functionality.

ESM + web import semantics: NodeJS was part of the "commonjs" movement that invented Javascript module importing. Module imports are an incredibly complex problem and hard to get right. Browsers took the hard-learned lessons from commonjs & nodejs and redesigned better modern APIs. NodeJS has been slowly trying to add support for the much improved browser web import semantics, but doing so while maintaining backward compatibility with their radically different commonjs APIs is a nightmarish challenge (they're working on it though, progress is good).

WHATWG streams: similar story to the import/commonjs situation. NodeJS basically "invented" streams in JS, and the WHATWG API is a newer design based on NodeJS lessons.

WebCrypto: Sibling comment is incorrect here actually: NodeJS & Deno both support this[0]

> Guess which one is easier to do?

I'm guessing 2) would be easier to implement as 1) would require using the FFI of the wrapping language, which can be challenging. Also, the scripting language is likely to be well-documented as I assume it's core functionality readily available from the GUI. (Although, as a counter-example to this, I found GIMP's Scheme scripting terribly under-documented, so not always.)

> For bonus points, present a case for one of them being better than the other

2) is clearly better because it treats the whole OBS application as a black box and just pipes (or whatever) scripting command strings to OBS.

1) is clearly better because performance. Ee're talking about a video streaming app, so performance is essential.
Given the flu kills more kids than covid, we should probably require them to get that vaccine. Given more kids drown than die of covid, we should probably restrict their access to water. Given more kids die in fires, we should keep them out of structures made of wood. Given more die in auto accidents, they shouldn’t be allowed in cars.
Wait Bootstrap is only 10 years old? I'd have sworn it was 15 years old or so by now. I created Picnic CSS back in 2014 as an alternative to the big and well-established Bootstrap project, if Bootstrap was created in 2011 it means that it became the main front-end project everyone was using in just under 3 years! That's amazing, and congrats on the 10th anniversary!
You are arguing "we don't know what'll happen with vaccines" as though you do know the long term risks of COVID-19. You do not - you cannot. COVID-19 has not existed for longer then about 1.5 years.

Other coronaviruses have, but mRNA vaccine technology is about 15 years old - that's how long it's been in development and studied. Long term effects are in fact, known. But if you were concerned about that, you could take J&J or Astrazeneca, both of which are based on adenovirus vector technology and has existed since the 1980s - the clotting side effect is both rare and treatable.

re: Graves disease - [1] is literally a risk of getting COVID-19.

You are engaging in some both-sideism FUD and misrepresenting the technology of vaccines while pretending a brand new novel disease is some well-understood thing.

They can be too loud to run while class is in session, especially if they move enough air to be worth a damn. Double-especially if you're also masked (so speaking is already a bit muffled).
> bits and pointers--the real foundation of data and data structures

Sure, if you're programming a database b-tree or other system level application then these are important. Most developers do not write that type of program. In fact, good higher order data models abstract away implementation details like bits and pointers so that you can focus on things that actually matter - like your domain and what your data describes within it.

> No, it's literally about building an OOP-style abstraction of national flags.

I'm not sure where you get the "OOP-style" critique. I think this article does a good job of describing an expression-oriented functional style - a natural pairing with a "data-centric" paradigm. It doesn't even mention classes, mutable state, this/self, polymorphism, encapsulation, etc.

This is an article for true beginners (it introduces number and strings!) so it makes sense to use a real, tangible thing like flags as an example. Yes _ national flags_, the real things that 99% of people who don't program think of when they hear the word flag.
