Vaccination provides 2x better protection than naturally acquired “immunity” - see good data using search: https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=covid+protection+vaccine+v...

“In today’s MMWR, a study of COVID-19 infections in Kentucky among people who were previously infected with SAR-CoV-2 shows that unvaccinated individuals are more than twice as likely to be reinfected with COVID-19 than those who were fully vaccinated after initially contracting the virus. These data further indicate that COVID-19 vaccines offer better protection than natural immunity alone and that vaccines, even after prior infection, help prevent reinfections.” 6 August 2021 - https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-pr...

Before repeating false stats, either look up your references, or provide them. There is a HUGE amount of ongoing misinformation about Covid figures which you cannot help but be aware of. For some reason the recent information from Israel seems to be especially misinterpreted (maliciously or not) - and anything recent referencing Israel is a red flag that it is likely disinformation. https://www.covid-datascience.com/post/israeli-data-how-can-...

It is especially egregious to ask for a citation when you don’t provide one yourself.

You read to train it, not to be a walking reference book.
Which is to say that the more immediate concern is that it has never been tested or approved for human consumption and there are no guidelines around dosage or expected efficacy and if you're taking it because you heard about it as you seem to have, you're wildly guessing about a treatment in preference to availing yourself of a proven treatment that's been administered almost a billion times in the last 18 months under great scrutiny.

If you take Ivermectin in preference to getting vaccinated, you deserve to die. The preferred moral outcome here is for you to die by your own hand rather than let your willful ignorance increase the risk to your community.

> But the recovery was a little scary. When he pulled back, the elevator was ineffective; it didn’t do anything, so he said, “Well, I’ll use the stabilizer,” and the stabilizer wouldn’t run. It stalled, because of the load. What he did, because he was smart, is something that no other pilot would do: He pushed over into the dive more, which relieved the load on the stabilizer.

So. Nuts.

Note that they also took off with broken slots, which prevented them from extending the flaps, unknowing why these were broken. BUT STILL WENT.

For whatever reason I believe this wouldn't fly (ahah) today, too much risk.
How so? I'd have thought a PRAGMA is sort of a sticky, sometimes persistent flag; and this only affects CREATE TABLE statements so you could toggle it inbetween such statements if your refactoring for it would be large enough to nesesitate doing so in stages?

I use sqlite a fair bit but admittedly know little about the layers beneath, and it feels like tagging this feature to the end of CREATE TABLE just means more "magic invocation boilerplate" that might be straying from SQL syntax?

Again, not too clued into the deep minuta of SQL so maybe suffixes to the CREATE TABLE are "valid"? This would count similar to engine or charset configuration in a mysql statement?
I think this was an art choice rather than technical inexperience.

The proportions of the field models are more similar to the chibi sprites of the SNES games, so we’re seeing the gradual evolution of FF’s style with VII the first transition from 2D to 3D.

That VIII and IX used more realistic proportions is just a later stage of that stylistic transition.

Personally, I find them quite charming. There’s a fair bit of slapstick in the game that IMO works better with the low poly models.

How did we get to the point where so many people would rather risk unknown side effects of a free vaccine that hasn't been fully tested? They're putting themselves at unknown levels of risk. /s (sort of)

I find the constant "It's science" and other platitudes to be completely off-putting and it stinks of consensus building.

Further, the total shutdown of anyone that opposes the vaccinations raises so many red flags.

Perhaps the vaccines will turn out to be completely safe, or perhaps they won't. Without any sort of long-term studies, we have no idea which direction things will go.

Edit:

- The 1955 Cutter Incident:
"In April 1955 more than 200 000 children in five Western and mid-Western USA states received a polio vaccine in which the process of inactivating the live virus proved to be defective. Within days there were reports of paralysis and within a month the first mass vaccination programme against polio had to be abandoned."

- 2017 dengue fever:
"The analysis showed that the subset of trial participants who were inferred to be seronegative at time of first vaccination had a higher risk of more severe dengue and hospitalizations from dengue compared to unvaccinated participants."

The problem with this argument is that you can use it to also ban tobacco, and alcohol, and sugar, and red meat, and then you can move to things like sports, and start banning bungee jumping and rock climbing,…

There’s no obvious way to draw a line, but you definitely need one.

Can you clarify this for me? I feel like I could walk away with two different interpretations?

"What he got was a top 10 list of best performers, but not the list of the worst performers."

I interpret this to mean either you were on the list of 10 best performers or that he received a list of performs to perhaps replace you with.

Also, my case might be more true in America where there does not appear to be many laws regarding privacy. As far as I know, the EU is leading the way in this.
>Kidoteca

Heh, in Spanish we have the term ludoteca, which could be translated as "playroom". When I was a kid we had a dedicated room at school with comic books, tabletop games, card games and so on.
For rodents and cats you buy it online for $5-10, one shot for two weeks. It's pure, unlike the horse dewormer. You just need to take care of the dosis per weight.

Please leave durian alone, it’s already super expensive as it is. Go build a batter out of bananas or something.
I cannot find any references online to the DOJ budget being slashed by George W. Bush let alone by 80%. That sounds quite outlandish to me. Do you have any more information on what you're referring to?
That’d be no different with the CNAME alias technique, right?

I’m not seeing any reason for the CNAME technique; seems like the NS technique should be every bit as good, without needing another domain name (which costs money and is another moving part). I’d like to know if I’m misreading anything.
Their carry weight is absolute shit and ferrying over 10 doses isn't really worthwhile
Not true. People who are not vaccinated become opportunities for mutation, causing variants to emerge and spread, most of which are innocuous (this happens all the time) but some can still re-infect and do harm to vaccinated people.
> But if you can’t tell the difference, does it really matter?

Firefox on Android supports add-ons, in particular uBlock origin. Firefox on iOS does not. That's a huge difference.
Where? Sure it bounced back. Durian goes for 160 baht/kg in Bangkok (April 2021), up from the 120 baht/kg I saw in April 2019.

That’s about US$5/kg.
No, that's specifically not the use case.

A common use case is using SQLite as a local stand in replacement for "whatever production database" people are using.

Commonly PostgreSQL, but not always. So, my idea was just a way to make that work better, nothing more.
It's not just that it's hard to refuse a bigger paycheck, but that everyone needs to refuse it. If 95% of people who could implement something refuse to do so on moral grounds - that won't be an impediment to the thing getting done.
I agree, and I'm not arguing that X is OK just because it's similar to Y and Z.

What I don't like is the pretence that this is suddenly a brand new unprecedented invasion on privacy. It builds outrage and fear off the idea what the state is doing is completely unprecedented. However, that's not entirely true. That's what I find intellectually dishonest.
I’ll take a referral and thanks for letting me know which company it was! (my email is in profile)
Interesting side note : the people who built the Lunokhod moon rover were later called in to help with the Chernobyl cleanup. They had experience with remote-controlled radiation-hardened rovers.

There's an interesting documentary on Curiositystream about the Lunokhod program too.
That's a big assumption when the ex-president of the US got banned from Twitter.
What are you talking about? There’s no durian that goes for 30 baht/kg. Only in Phuket I see the local variety at 50 baht but monthong is still 100/120 now. In Bangkok it’s rare/impossible to find it for less than 140.

Probably that price is only found near the plantations and very likely not for monthong.

I know because I eat a durian a week and I’m stingy.
Thanks, that's interesting and a really useful data point. :)
Having used DDG for almost a decade now, I indeed doubt any objective research would come up showing the results are never up to par or even better than Google's (or other search engines for that matter). Of course I'm also not going to compare DDG results with others when DDG immediately finds what I need so never really checked that myself actually..

Still, no matter how much I like and promote DDG, I'm definitely not in the 'I always find what I need' camp. I don't know why but DDG is simply bad in some aspects. Sometimes it can be circumvented by altering search terms, but other times I have the impression after all those years its crawling or database is still lacking. I encounter this almost daily, most recent example: searching for 'preamp for hypex' Google and Bing (in private search windows) immediately turn up posts from audio forums I expect to have these topics. DDG just doesn't have those probably, because instead it automatically "Includes results for amplifier hypex" (which I find extremely annoying in any case, and makes no sense in this case since the word 'preamp' is key) and after forcing it to quote each term instead then it still doesn't come up with the expected results.
I'll tell you another secret: Basic economics works pretty well and isn't very hard.

Economists are poor because there isn't any competitive advantage. Any competently-run business of any significant size should have plenty of people able to apply basic economics. Engineers who don't learn basic econ are at a disadvantage, on the other hand.
I was there at the time along with the OP. And, yes it did work well.

>I just get the definitions of words that I don't understand and I do just fine.

This is what turned the tide for me but it took much more discipline than I was willing to admit at first. When I stopped lying to myself about how much context clues were helping me understand the words I didn’t know, it started to take me 10 minutes to get through a page of a difficult book. However, it started to pay off when I achieved a deeper understanding of the books I was reading.
> It builds outrage and fear off the idea what the state is doing is completely unprecedented. However, that's not entirely true. That's what I find intellectually dishonest.

Fair, although there is one other angle from which I think this is unprecedented: aren't those other restrictions all things that you can't do, with this being the first one that's something that you have to do? For example, consider freedom of speech. Exceptions that compel speech are much rarer than exceptions that prohibit speech.
Varies a lot, depending on what the role is. I've got a broader range of potential roles than most people, who are in a single silo eg backend Dev or QA.

The nice thing about the external recruiters I talk to is they are all up front about total comp, and their own comp depends on the new employee's comp, so they know...

Crypto firms are in a massive hiring frenzy. Few hundred k salary (usd 250 to 500), nearly 1m in tokens for a manager role. But of course you gotta decide what those tokens really are worth, whether you actually believe in the project, and whether you care for crypto at all.

For traditional startups the range depends a lot on the stage they're at. There seem to be quite a few who think they can get a CTO for usd130k plus a few percent equity. I'm not sure what quality you'd get for that but I guess at the next funding round you'd get a bump, and of you end up in a hyper growth startup you're golden.

Finance, as a senior IC who can code you're maybe looking at 200k salary and perhaps half that bonus. That's assuming you don't get a cut of the profits. There are of course some shops where they'd pay way more than that, maybe double. There seem to be a few small name firms that pay similar to Jane Street.

Naturally if you find a seat with a cut of the book, that can shoot up. Ordinary cut is a range as well, anything from 10 to 35% has been touted. TC would depend on how much capital you get allocated and how well you do with it. Somewhere like millennium has a reputation for paying well while things are good, then cutting the team on a pretty tight stop loss (like 3%) in a month. Funnily enough the recruiter told me they were trying to lose that reputation, so maybe it changed. But they're definitely doing things to attract people, eg they are supposedly very relaxed about paying a salary for a year while you develop the strategy.
Fake 3D racing games with did it worse, as you just had a trig shifting road and some background scrolling right and left. When I played Road Rash 3D on the PSX the change was like night and day.

Altough some of them did it really well, like Lotus Turbo Challenge I and II for the Mega Drive.
Extreme example: Person A with perfect health gets vaccinated. Person B undergoes palliative care and chooses not to get vaccinated. Person B's routine SARS-CoV-2 PCR test is positive and they're therefore classified as a hospitalized/severe case.

It's a miracle that Israel even offers age-stratified hospitalizations data. But it's still not enough.
Then only quantum indeterminate phenomenon is random, and nothing else.

I dont think many people have thought enough about the world to appeal to their intuitions.

Randomness isnt quantum indeterminacy.
Not a single source apart from the author's opinion, and I'm less than convinced by the argument. Recognition is necessary to a minimum degree, nno-one wants to work without ever a node or a thank you. If recognition matters more to someone in return to exceptional performance than financial incentive, I would go ahead and say that that person has ego issues. Plus too much recognition ends up being un sincere and in fact become counter productive.

Money makes a difference.
Money is what the business is about, and what I give you my time for. Not pitty, not trying to compensate for parental approval issues, not strokings to my ego. Money that I can then exchange for goods and services.

Google results aren't much better, I feel that nowadays, if I want to find anything relevant, I need to use site:, and most often than not, it'll be either stackoverflow, reddit and some other french sites.
Anything else is either spam/sales or ebay "proxys".

It's scary how the web feels much more narrower.
Do you have a reference for that talk? (or about the "lost" nasa data). I have a kink for bizarre file formats and this got me excited...
Well put! I was in the same boat i.e. wanting everything to be expressible in C/C++ type of syntax before i realized that it was quite the wrong way of looking at things and in particular; Mathematics. Mathematical Notation is fundamental while Programming Language Notation is incidental when looking at Mathematical subjects. It was merely an unwillingness to put forth effort to learn a new "shorthand conceptual language" that was holding me back. Once i learnt to read the notation and familiarized myself with it, things became much "easier and obvious".
Well today if you were to punch me you'd likely be on trial for assault, and if you killed me, murder. Antisocial behaviors generally aren't legally punishable until they're taken out on someone else.

In this case, if you choose not to get the vaccine and then through contact tracing or some other mechanism an outbreak is traced to you when you could have gotten a vaccine? Assault sounds correct to me and if you killed someone through inaction, then something equivalent to negligent homicide sounds correct to me. You're not necessarily malicious but I'd say fairly negligent.

Not that that's what is currently the case, but it seems fair to me and in that world, rolling the dice on criminal charges instead of just getting a vaccine that 169million people in US alone currently have taken with no issue seems like a dumb dice roll to me, but most people have steadily proven to me over the last few years that they're not great at risk calculation over and under.
For the sake of discussion, here are some counter-arguments:

> If this was a sterilizing vaccine

There's no question that if we had a vaccine that provided sterilizing immunity, the calculus for public health policy would be affected. However, we have to account for the inevitability of viral mutation and evolution. This idea goes hand in hand with the fact that immunity is a spectrum, and just because a vaccine provides sterilizing immunity now, doesn't guarantee it will continue to do so indefinitely and for everyone.

> bodily autonomy doesn't come without large measurable consequences to society at large

Similarly, compulsory mass vaccination does not come without significant risks to public health. There is a very real and non-trivial risk that compulsory mass vaccination would create selective pressure that further enhances the fitness of the virus, leading to immune escape which manifests as decreased protection for individuals who have acquired immunity through vaccination or natural infection [1][2][3][4][5]. Analogous to antibiotic resistance, the threat of vaccine resistance is a strong argument for diversifying viral elimination strategies across multiple molecular targets and therapeutic modalities.

Finally, the argument for compulsory mass vaccination does not account for the fact that individuals who acquire immunity through natural infection are at least equally well protected as vaccinated individuals [6][7][8]. And this point leads us back to the crux of OP - it violates medical ethics to order unnecessary procedures.

It's essentially long form journalism. Here's the format

Some question that has a 10 word answer?

Meandering table-setting descriptions. The hustle of the author landing early at the airport and what their driver looked like on their ride into town.

Irrelevant backstory about the location, maybe some aside about some eccentric character who lived there 100 years ago. Where the author went for lunch and why they picked that restaurant.

Central characters introduced with superfluous descriptions of how they were dressed that day, styled their hair and carry themselves when they walk. Also what they ordered and how much they ate of it.

It's disingenuous. Maybe they're trying to get the article to "perform well" and they're trying to maximize for something? I don't know. It's like back when local news gave sizzlers and then teased out their audience over 2 hours before sidecaring the answer in the closing credits.

As it turns out I don't care about the temperament of the office dog or what kind of fern was in the reception area. I especially don't want 4 paragraphs on each.

Hunter S Thompson did this and it was great. Most people are not Hunter S Thompson. In fact I'm pretty sure that number is all humans who ever existed - 1.
