A vaccine is an excellent way to prevent an infectious disease. Borelliosis is an infectious disease. Infectious diseases cause human suffering. Vaccinating against as many infectious diseases as possible will reduce a great deal of human suffering.

I guess the real question is why would you not want to reduce human suffering?
This is a weak statement with 0 factual support. Humanity never had to deal with anything like that.

Copyright is to enrich the public domain. It's foundation in the West is Queen Anne's statute which followed on from printmakers making their own regulations. It shifted power from the printmakers to the creators, buy it served the public domain by having a limited period of protection and by preserving copies of works which could be referenced.

It made things better for the public because after 7 years (IIRC, I think it was later extendable to 14 years) the work was free to get printed anywhere vastly aiding the spread of culturally important works. The fundamental bargain also aided the demos (as opposed to the consumer, per se); that bargain being that a creator could exclusively - with the backing of the law - control reproduction during those 7 years and so profit sufficiently to continue creating further works without having to seek a patron.

Copyright is supposed to be, and was, about liberation of creators from control; and democratisation (making available to the people) of works.

The change I propose aids creators getting paid, and aids works benefiting the public. Moreover, it wrests some control from the "printmakers" in keeping with early copyright laws.
It would be useful for any organization that has the means to implement this. I can see AWS datacenters and rich governments rolling our their own QKD.
Do you think Loanpro or Canopy cater for below issues? I've worked with teams who built in house and smashed into those issues. Very complex. Ncino seems to possibly be viable, but is too generic and broad.

Edit: do you think Loanpro or Canopy are viable for larger longer term loans? +$1m +3yr type cashflow lending?
For me it's not paying that's the issue, but rather having to sign up to an individual service and pay a monthly fee for every piece you read on every different website.

This is monopolistic collusion which regulators may well try to address in various ways indicated including interoperability. Self-evidently the deal suits Google and Apple. If Microsoft outbid Google then it would simply replace one bilateral deal of collusion between 2 of the 5 GAFAMs, with another.

All the other 4 search choices in Safari are Bing. Whatever they say (and some are more transparent than others) Duck, Ecosia and Yahoo are Bing. So you might argue the whole search choice menu is 3-way GAFAM collusion.

The way to help users, and indeed customers who use search advertising, would be to allow easy use of multiple search engines on browsers. I want to be able to easily use all or some of crawlers Google, Bing, Mojeek, syndicates Duck, Ecosia, Startpage and others like Brave .... with one click the way I can on Firefox, or in other ways. Wouldn't you like that?

No one search engine, or syndicate if you prefer to use those, can be the search or "answer" engine which will always be best. We get more value as users if we have a healthy market with multiple choices for search, and an easy way to use them all.

But then I would say this; self-disclosure CEO of Mojeek - an independent no-tracking search engine.

> Are there going to be vaccine for everything in the future?

For a lot of stuff, the answer is probably yes, mRNA based vaccines are a revolutionary game changer - their quick turnaround time means you can actually tailor them to a specific cancer or pathogen the patient has and use the patient's own immune system to fight against the disease. Another advantage of mRNA is that manufacture doesn't depend on chicken eggs which take about six months to produce, are challenging to keep sterile enough and have issues for people with allergies (https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/27/health/chicken-egg-flu-va...).

However, some viruses like HIV or Influenza mutate so much that it was hard to make effective viruses, we will have to wait and see what the future brings there.

It feels like you’re splitting hairs. No, you’re not blocking it in apk-tools, and yes, a user can work around the change you’re making to continue doing what they want. But your post directly says “I have also proposed an update to Alpine which will block the installation of the glibc packages produced by the alpine-glibc project”. So I’m not sure how describing it as “blocking this downstream project” could possibly be inaccurate.
Yes. The beauty of the Vaccine is that it sells on fear. And there is no limit to which a human being can be scared...

The first vaccine had a problem where it gave people Lyme every once in a while. My hypothesis is that Lyme disease is an autoimmune disease caused by being exposed too acutely in some way, or for too long. For some people, a tick byte isn’t enough exposure to trigger it. For others, the vaccine is enough. They didn’t catch it early in clinical trials because those people are rare enough to not show up in small studies. So by that logic, the same thing should happen here. Maybe this time it will be a small enough group of people to shove under the rug. There’s no medicine in the world that doesn’t harm people in some capacity.
It's super easy to treat if caught early. But that's where the good ends. Vast majority of cases present the infamous circle. But some don't. And if you got the circle in a hard-to-notice spot, it's easy to miss it (it will a month or two into infection) too.

First precaution is to check your legs (and possibly torso/hands) for ticks after passing through high grass. And whole body after coming from the woods. The nasty bit is you may bring ticks home, they stay active for a while and they may bite someone else.

If you get a rash in a weird spot and you've been out in the woods in the past 48 hours, check it out thoroughly. You may have a tick there. I've had countless ticks hiding in weird places that I found due to weird itchy-rashy feeling.

Once you get the tick, remove it in a safe manner asap. Lyme is transferred after the tick is done feeding and about to take off. Which is ~48 hours.

Personally Lyme Encephalitis is much scarier. Not as common, but long term effects are much more likely and even worse. On the bright side, there's a vaccine for it.

FWIW one data point - we had begun beforehand but especially when COVID started, the small company I work at moved nearly all our company communication into Discord.

We tried out Slack and other alternatives at the time and the huge advantage of Discord was how simple and playful it was while other solutions were so very enterprise-y.

Plus, Discord offers a great bot API, so it was super easy to write our own integrations. We are very happy Discord was not bought by Microsoft.
It sounds like they dissent from those opinions and you don't so you're fine with it and they're not. As Chomsky said "Everyone is in favour of freedom of speech for speech they agree with".

Since I'm quoting people, J.S. Mill wrote down what the problem is for all of us when this happens:

> If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind. Were an opinion a personal possession of no value except to the owner; if to be obstructed in the enjoyment of it were simply a private injury, it would make some difference whether the injury was inflicted only on a few persons or on many. But the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

Surely that place has value: in the posted material, if you can scavenge. On the human side, it can be a mess - extremely difficult to have a proper and mature discussion there.

In places that entice emotional participation it is sheerly consequential that gut behaviour is effectively promoted. But this excludes «proper and mature discussion» as a consistent plan. It is very different from "[scope: ] «anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity»".
Some tracking will always be possible regardless of the platform but compared to native app the comparison is clearly in favor of web apps. Web apps make cross website tracking very difficult, web apps don't have private apis, web apps can be easily investigated to see what they do and even edited on the fly by the user if needed (adblocking), the sandboxing of web apps is very strong and exploits are getting rarer and rarer.

There's a reason everybody asks you to download their native app, tracking is much easier there.

Oh story time. You should know, India meta verse drama on reddit is the most infantile stuff around, if it weren’t for the death threats and harassment. And the rabid islamophobia. And the misogyny. And the multiple essentially hate subs which want to have this content on the main subreddit.

I’ve been on that forum for many years, and I’ve seen it all evolve.

Here’s one example of the dumbest things that go around - a troll account called crimsondot, came up with a copy-pasta
Where he claims all sorts of things, including that one of hte mods was of Bangladeshi descent.

For years this claim went around, and it morphed into the general claim that one of the mods was Bangladeshi.

Then in the past few years, since Bangladeshi was insufficient, it became changed to Pakistani.

All of this, set up by a troll account, and now a claim repeated on HN.

Frankly people have forgotten the fanatical support you found on r/india for then CM Modi.

I take it as healthy that the sub has been able to constantly find itself at odds with the ruling party. IT suggests that opinion is driven by grumbling users, not by any cabal.

I really don't take myself seriously at all but I find such things in software more annoying than humorous because it's distracting (the reason for me was because I have to reprogram my behaviour to ignore said loading messages rather than view them as actionable items). Streamlabs is another with stupid loading messages. Such things aren't annoying enough to stop me using their software but it certainly not something I get kick out of seeing.

I'd also add festival themed icons too. The whole VSCode trolling a few years back might have been overblown but the end result was for the better imo. I find it distracting having seasonal icons and the fewer distractions I can find in my productivity tools the better.

Does anyone know why they haven't released a Delta varient vaccine? Is seems that it would just involved we changing the mRNA sequence in a computer at the factor, but I'm really just guessing. Also maybe it is considered a whole new vaccineand needs to go through approval again.
For sure! Like I said, this is very similar to fork(), and you've basically called out why :)

pid = fork();
if (pid != 0) {
printf("parent!");
} else {
printf("child!");
}
// Displays, in principle, though in any order:
// parent!
// child!

`fork` captures "the rest of the program" -- the part after the `;` on `fork()`, although confusingly including the `which = _` -- and causes it to be run twice, each with a different return value (which really means "passed to the continuation").

> the continuation of call/cc is on the left of the call to call/cc.

Kiiind of. It's really around the call to call/cc -- the "101" and "5" in this example are to the right, while the "+" is to the left:

(+ (call/cc (\k. k 42)) 101 5)
= (\k. k 42) (\x. (+ x 101 5))
= (\x. (+ x 101 5)) 42
= (+ 42 101 5)

In terms of a syntax tree, the continuation is above the call to call/cc. The left/right distinction only really shows for super-simple examples. But, conversely, the argument for function application is always below the application sense, so there's a very reliable duality here.

(Another, slightly twisted perspective is that a syntax tree is, after all, a graph; and following the parent of a node leads to a subgraph just as well as following a child. The fact that this subgraph is "upside-down" is just an extra detail ;), but you can use this subgraph during reduction just like you would a child subgraph. In this way, call/cc is literally just function application, but applying the parent subgraph instead of a normal child.)

((There's a third, incredibly boring member of this family... we can pass one child to another with `apply`, and pass the context to a child with `call/cc`. What lets us pass a child to the context? `id`, or the no-op operator!))

Unfounded claims from 100s of people developing imaginary autoimmune disorders?
Mind you people are still getting compensated in court for autoimmune disorders arising from the Hep-B vaccine, even though no causal link was found.
Just yesterday I had to accompany my sister to the phlebologist, because of severe side-effects from Pfizer, he told us he was seeing troves of patients for similar reasons even though officially no causal-link was established.

At some point you have to wonder if health-policy takes precedence over truthful reporting when it comes to vaccines. (I'm "pro-vax" btw, I was the one who convinced my sister to go take her dose even though she's quite young. Now I feel like a moron.)
