kinda.

its more complex and nuanced than this. I had thought that the chickenpox vaccine gave you a higher chance of shingles in later life. However that appears to be the opposite of what actually happens.

The crucial thing is that its dependent on the vaccine and the thing infecting you.

For example the BCG jab which protects against TB is wild. Its a live vaccine that has been evolving, got lost once, and its kinda black magic. In older people it has a ~33% efficacy. its much more effective in babies and children though.

However we've got to the point that TB is so rare in the UK that targeted vaccination is more than enough to keep it under control.

With covid, we need to make sure that when people get it, they don't get seriously ill. Ideally they wont get it at all, but alas thats not the case, the vaccines are not effective enough for that against this variant.

I assume that altering the mrna vaccines would have a similar speed as the annual flu vaccine, so changes for new variants would require less development time.

But as someone pointed out, if you have a vaccine, and you get covid, te seems reasonable to assume that you will have a better immunity.

Also with just 8 cases out 32k, it seems a small dataset to draw conclusions on.
The entire point of vaccintation is to enable a road to immunity which kills less people than simply getting infected.

If we were OK with the death rate of naturally-attained immunity we didn't need a vaccine.
The Lancet just published a study yesterday on natural infection still causing symptoms one year later (“long Covid”) for 49% of unvaccinated people.

I’ll stick to the vaccine.
Oh no! Anyway...
> I'm curious when we'll declare some sort of "idea bankruptcy" on IPv6, develop a new version (IPv7?) that has a "ease of migration from IPv4" as a stated goal, and deploy/implement that.

We need more addresses. That's the primary problem of IPv4 right now.

So if all the IPv4 code is written to handle 32-bit addresses, how do you create an addressing system that has more than 32-bits of data, but fits with-in a 32-bit data structure?

AFAICT, code updates will needed to occur on every device that needs to talk to the new address scheme. So what's the difference between updating every device to handle IPv6 versus updating every device to handle this hypothetical IPv7?

> My wife complains that none of the devices in our house work, and she’s right

This hasn't been my experience at all. I find my devices often work much better than my peers' devices. Just yesterday, I blew someone's mind by being able to unzip a password protected zip and open a password protected pdf with my phone. They had been sending people documents like this for years and never saw anyone open it with their phone. Open source software is often more powerful than the mainstream alternatives, and the algorithms are easier to control, rather than be controlled by. Yes, it takes a bit of knowhow and work to configure things and get them running smoothly. But even the discipline itself has benefits. My guiding principle in all this is "Program or be programmed".
Are you saying you didn't get vaccinated and have yet to get COVID so your strategy is working? Or you already got COVID but it wasn't serious so it is working? Either way it seems like saying "I've been smoking all my life and never got cancer. Not sure why everyone is so worried about smoking."
That works for me. This is a compromise I agree with.
I think there are enough hackers that come from agricultural communities to give it a little boost. If I had discussed whether cows were evil or not, it looks like it might have gone to the front page!

It is hard to predict consumer taste, but I do think there will be some people that want beef on the hoof. And if you are utilizing holistic management type processes the biggest cost is the land. So the land price can flex down to make grass finished beef more competitive in a way that is harder for feedlots. And there is a lot of crop land, like in Western Kansas, that isn't really sustainable as crop land because they are lowering the water table pretty fast. So that will all go back to range land. Grazing land is already pretty cheap, 1000-1500/acre in most places. They can handle a haircut better than prime land in Iowa that is $5000-$10,000 acre. So more grazing land, more hobby farm and exurb like development. The worst off people are going to be large landowners with prime cropland. It could be a pretty big compression of the Gini coefficient where people that own less land can find other jobs from remote work or better transportation and end up better off even if their land value declines a lot. If your family owns a 10,000 acre corn and soybean farm, labor income can't replace the lost land value.
I'd like to just make a counterpoint: It's not that we have fewer "real" journalists, its that we created a massive number of platforms that don't hire journalists but proport to peddle "news".

We still have plenty of great, high quality journalists, but we have even more low-quality clickbait and chaff to sift through. The issue isn't that the good stuff went away, it's that we're flooded with junk because it's easier to produce.
"When will Microsoft learn?" If anything, they've already learned: from Apple, Google, Facebook and others. They learned that our data are valuable, that we can be tracked and spied on without any consequences, that they can process all our documents, photos and so on at will, that any "public outcry" doesn't mean anything because most people don't care and the ones who care don't have that much choice.

They would started to care if they saw a massive migration towards Linux/BSDs because of privacy issues - but it hasn't happened now, and I doubt it will ever do, because of the combination of valid reasons (missing apps, factual or perceived usability issues etc.) and inertia.

Dude - Each of those users behind the NAT will have a different set of cookies, user agents, screen sizes, among other fingerprints that qualify them as unique. ISPs also routinely place their CGNAT addresses on specific whitelists so that services don't block them for abuse (you can look through the NANOG email list to find examples of this.) IP addresses are also classified as residential, cloud/server, etc. If Google sees rapid requests from the same IP classified as a server that's sending a Python Requests user-agent, they can absolutely block it.

As recommended in Deep Work (one of the best productivity books around), I try to schedule my whole day in my calendar at the start of the day, with specific deliverables/outcomes for each block of time. Even if I don't finish everything or I end up deviating from the plan (it happens often), just doing this at the start of the day imposes a certain structure that your brain tends to internalize, which in turn provides mental clarity. Try it.
There are other bad outcomes besides death.

True, but where's a better study at the moment? I think it would be easier to gather more studies and do a cross-study meta analysis rather than recruiting a million people into a single study to eliminate the effects of noise.

And of course we don't all agree on the relative merits of different causes.

I’m very confident I’ve been exposed to covid, yet never had any test or conclusive symptoms.

I’m also confident that people like me do not experience problems from covid. At least not any more problems than a flu. A 1/3000 risk of myocarditis is not something I will risk. That’s a long term scarring of heart tissue, similar to how my father died in his 30s from teenage medical treatment.

The difference in your statement is that covid is an acute condition rather than a chronic slow growing tumor. If covid took years to show symptoms it’d be a reasonable comparison, but it’s very silly to make otherwise.

This gets repeated over and over, but the issue is that it's an impossible task.

A ipv4-only host cannot ever directly communicate with a IPv6/IPv7/.. host.
The issue is simply that you cannot fit more than 32bit of information into 32bit.

There are plenty of migration technologies that exist to integrate IPv4 and IPv6 (NAT64, tunneling ipv6 over ipv4, etc. etc.).
And anything like IPv7/IPv6-light will end up with the same issues and solutions you are facing today with IPv6.

I would consider it an HR failure if someone with your attitude and issues gets hired in the first place.
FWIW, generally proprietary apps will work just fine with LineageOS and Play services. Where things get nonstandard is using LineageOS + microG. The former still has most of Google's built in surveillance, but the advantage it brings is a consistent interface between devices.

No idea specifically about Google Pay though, like if it demands a proprietary device for "security". I personally don't see the appeal of new forms of surveilled payments - the plastic cards in my wallet work just fine for that.

Also I can't say this enough - if you're apprehensive about trying out LOS or LOS+microG, get a second device. It only runs on certain devices anyway, so most likely you'll be buying used for $100-$200. You don't have to take a leap all at once - rather you can try different apps gradually.

(Although at this point I hope Pinephone is gaining on LOS. You might consider focusing your attention there, even though it's much less ready for prime time from what I understand)
Isn't age a factor? I don't understand if the study considered the age of the participants. So, could it be that the people who were vaccinated tended to be older and thus more vulnerable?
I have a voip.ms number left over from another project, and it does support SMS although I've had fairly crappy luck getting it to work for services that need it for 2FA.

Seems like there's no good option, as VOIP numbers are fairly secure but ironically not allowed by many companies for SMS.

I assume that's referring to the fact that previously, they occasionally hard-coded certain search terms to show Apple app results before third-party apps, even if the search term was an exact match. [1]

And that "objective" search results means no more hard-coding of exceptions like this to give "partiality" to a particular company or app.

Maybe I have seen too much shit in my time but everything in this article makes me squirm about where we have come with respect to HR/People practices. The job of HR is to maintain the working conditions for people to continue doing what they are being paid to. This usually means ensuring some simple, sane processes and getting the fuck out of the way.

But more often than not, we see HR as this pervasive, all permeating entity that keeps biting off more than it can chew in trying to justify its presence. There is a process for every thing and this is how we do it. Everyone must follow these processes and we need to standardize. And these processes tend to be complex monstrosities that change all the time because no one ever lost their job for attempting to do a lot of work.

What organisations fail to see is that, the more people have to deal with such complex monstrosities, the more they have to adapt to changing policies and incentives, the more time they have to spend mulling about and carrying out these processes. Time and effort that detracts from work that people were hired for, which was supposed to be the job of HR to ensure in the first place. I think a good acid test for the functioning of HR is to see how visible they are in the environment. If you are having to hear from them a lot, or you find yourself carrying out their mandate frequently, then they are probably not doing a great job.
Would getting infected _after_ being vaccinated, which doesn't seem totally unheard of, confer an additional boost to one's immunity?
Except it was widely reported that natural immunity lasted 3 to 6 months and that the vaccines would last 2 years (at least Moderna), and the nuances there I think would be lost on a lay person. I even had an immunologist explain to me in detail why the immunity from the vaccine would be way stronger than acquired immunity. It doesn't really build confidence in science if, while we're finding new things, everyone pretends that the conclusion du jour was always obvious.
Uuuh, you're writing a comment about how COVID has become political on a scientific article about COVID that doesn't mention any politics.

One could believe you are actively working against your best interests here by leaving this type of comment. You'd be better at making things scientific again by behaving the one you'd like others to behave.
> So if all the IPv4 code is written to handle 32-bit addresses, how do you create an addressing system that has more than 32-bits of data, but fits with-in a 32-bit data structure?

IETF also asked that for AS numbers (which were only ~60,000 originally!) Sure enough, there were some reserved bits actually on the spec, which they used to add an extended address. Nowadays, the original BGP actually operates on a single number: AS23456 and the actual AS number is on that reserved spot.

What's worse is that it was actually already proposed in 1992 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1347). Did it work? Actually, yes! Why IPv6 then? Because it's shiny!
Toner is bad for your lungs.
The enum of all possible events is still there, it's just spread over dozens of different callback properties belonging to several different objects. Splitting out via an enum to a big `handle` type function makes it possible to detect whether you have handled all possible events at compile time instead of having to raise an exception at runtime.

You really don't want to try a Wikipedia slap-fight with me. From my original link, at the very top of the page, in the first paragraph:

> In mathematical logic, Goodstein's theorem is a statement about the natural numbers, proved by Reuben Goodstein in 1944, which states that every Goodstein sequence eventually terminates at 0. Kirby and Paris[1] showed that it is unprovable in Peano arithmetic (but it can be proven in stronger systems, such as second-order arithmetic).

Despite PA having such a big proof-theoretic ordinal, PA cannot prove Goodstein's theorem. We need SOL.

Also, as one constructivist to another: Nobody cares la~ Hopefully you know the difference between PA, which describes NNOs, and HOL, which is ambient in each topos. Just because some topoi have NNO (just because HOL can host PA) and topoi recognize Goodstein's theorem (because Goodstein's provable in HOL) doesn't imply that all NNOs can witness Goodstein.

Indeed, double-check your understanding with the following quirk: In the topos Diff for synthetic differential geometry, the natural numbers are decideable and countable, but the real numbers are not decidable (and in fact prove LEM false!) and uncountable. Due to smoothness requirements, the real numbers are fundamentally different from the natural numbers in Diff. These are two different objects, two different infinities, with two different topologies.
Which is crazy. No University can teach the kind of skills needed to be a good commercial developer.

The best approach would be apprenticeships; learning the craft while doing the job. But the industry has always been ridiculously opposed to training its own staff - echoing your point that this is seen as something that the education system should do (why?).

I've heard managers say crap like "but if we train them then they'll leave us when they finish the training and go somewhere else - we'll have paid for their training and get no benefit". This is a staff retention problem, not a training problem.
One issue we’ve seen is more bugs with IPv6 over the years. For example, this bug only affects IPv6 traffic: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/spectrum-routers-dro...
