I'm not sure the specific rationalizations are as relevant as the moral questions.

Do individuals have a right to their own body?

Does a collective or a technocrat have a right to coerce an individual into a medical procedure?

If we answer "yes" to the second question, only then does it become relevant because we must next ask:

Is there a limit to what a collective or technocrat can medically impose upon an individual, where and why do we draw this line?
Yes, I believe the right test can differentiate between the different antibody responses, telling you if you reacted to the virus, reacted to the vaccine, or both. I looked into this at one time and think I found one that cost $220. Sorry I don not have the link handy.

My main argument for ORMs is the mapping between SQL columns and your data model; having to write out SQL and code to load an SQL result set into your data model feels like a lot of duplication. And it gets a lot more difficult when you have more complicated data models spanning multiple database columns - that is, if your data model is like a document that has to be inserted and updated into a set of normalized database tables.

That said, if that wasn't as much of an issue, or if I still had the patience and typing skills to write a lot of boring code, I wouldn't object too much. I'd also treat SQL as a first class citizen, so dedicated .sql files that the application will load or embed and use. That way, the SQL can be developed, maintained and run outside of the context of your application - editors can execute them directly to a (local) development database.
You forgot the one where you get a popup for moving your mouse out of the window. For some reason I hate that one the most.

This is an important point for me as well.
Not sure on other platforms, but on web, it does support composition.
I feel the opposite, the arguments against ORMs largely boil down to "I can't really be arsed to learn SQL properly." ORMs are a leaky abstraction by nature and attempting to use one without understanding the underlying technology will only lead to pain and a developer with grudge against ORMs.

I think ORMs compliment SQL, not replace it. Without ORMs, you end up getting a lot of clunky boilerplate trying to do simple CRUD operations to your data. It's a bit like Greenspun's 10th law: "Any sufficiently advanced RDBMS-backed program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of an ORM."
This is my experience too. Millions of persisted and serialized TPS on regular NVMe with ms latency. Though it took a bit of effort to get to these numbers.

"Lately, there's a lot of Russian/former soviet oligarch money sloshing about".

This keeps getting brought up but it's inconsequential at the scale of the total economy. As I pointed out elsewhere already on this thread, total Russian inward flows to this country accounts for about 1% of foreign investment. Now yes absolutely, foreign investment is a significant factor in the UK economy, about 20%. That makes a big difference, but Russian oligarch funds are not a significant part of that, they're just a politically and socially highly visible one that gets talked about a lot.

The reason London is a centre for laundering money is that it's a massive mainstream finance centre. So yes, you're on the right track, but you're obsessing over a small forest footpath and missing the mainstream economic motorway right next to it.

US FDI into the UK is more than 30x that from Russia. That from the EU is even bigger. This is the stuff that moves the needle.

In my experience they don't use "an image editor" or "a spreadsheet program", but there is just exactly one blessed app. If that app is on mac for example, then windows or any other OS is impossible.

When people say that "X has no alternative for Excel", that X includes Windows as well. As a good rule of thumb: If there actually is an alternative on Windows, then there is also one on linux.
Yes, this is the interesting part of the story. I was just wondering how it works exactly. Is there a black market lebanese pound / USD? There is no mention of this in the article. Or do they use some kind of offical lebanese pound / USD exchange? If so how does that work, can you just show up at some office somewhere with local currency and get USD?
I find totally rare that these devices works at 5kHz. instead of 5MHz or 500Khz (for example). At 5kHz you would need in theory huge antennas to being able to transmit and receive the signal correctly, and hundreds of kHz frequencies are totally achievable even with the most basics mid 1900s telecom systems.

If you know the data to send, and you are totally sure the data is sent electromagnetically at 5kHz, you can modulate in as sound in a computer and play it in a PA system connected to a long cable,

Yes thank you. GPs comment is completely inaccurate, and the referenced study does not make any claims about natural infection, only about patients hospitalized with severe illness.

Multiple recent large scale studies have estimated an asymptomatic proportion lower bound of at least ~33% [1], and an upper bound of 65% (and even higher for young adults) [2]. This implies a significant proportion of people infected by SARS-COV-2 will not experience any noticeable symptoms.

Furthermore, there is strong evidence that infections and cases are massively under-reported (by 10x to 100x) [3][4], so it's exceedingly likely that such estimates are underestimates of the true asymptomatic rate.

One question: Let's assume that I've added Firefox containers and instructed it to open every tab in a new container. If I open a link from the Google search result in a new tab(that is inside a new container) then can Google still trace the flow because the opened links are from Google and not the actual search result and it may contain the tracking info?
I don't think being against vaccine passports necessarily makes you an anti-vaxxer. I've had both shots of the vaccine and I strongly oppose any sort of mandatory government ID card health-related or not, to the point I'll avoid patronising domestic businesses that voluntarily (ie without strong government coercion) impose them.

I'm not a fan of any form of authoritarianism really, let alone the overtly authoritarian "papers please" brand of it. One of the key parts of a free country is that you can be anywhere within it without some nosy government inspector (in person or by proxy electronically) demanding that you justify your presence there.

The vaccine does not “guarantee” protection from other variants, but it does have some, more for some variants and apparently less for others (delta). But, the same can be said about prior infection: it does not “guarantee” protection from other variants either. The paper here provides evidence that even though neither of them “guarantee” immunity for other variants or reinfection, prior infection provides more protection from COVID-19 than currently used vaccines.
+1 and an example would make your argument even more persuasive
Vaccination guarantees some immunity for all existing variants. Just because it is impossible to say for all hypothetical future variants doesn't mean you need to spread misinformation like that
What about companies that produce negative value (say, an oil company that caused an environmental disaster)? Are the workers going to return part of their salaries back?

That is not what I said.

This encapsulates something the article misses: those with technical know-how can typically still thrive with others while living a tech-ascetic lifestyle, but the facade is broken as soon as non-technical friends and family come into the picture.

My most-used means of file transfer is "e-mailed zip file", and generally this works well - until, of course, someone can't open a zip file on their phone. Which I'd assume is most phone users. The phone doesn't need an unzip utility, because a phone user expects a link to some cloud service (Google Photos, etc.) to achieve the same thing. The content doesn't live on the device; it's just a dumb terminal.

Taken to its extreme, I recently had to downmix several HD videos taken on a phone onto a DVD, and _physically mail it overseas_, because even the cloud option wasn't open to the user.
>the risk of developing symptomatic COVID-19 was 27 times higher among the vaccinated, and the risk of hospitalization eight times higher

The denominator in those odds ratios seem to fishy to me. Comparing people who were previously infected with COVID and vaccine recipients does some weird conditioning on getting COVID, so it should hide risks of developing symptomatic COVID and hospitalization for people who got COVID previously. It seems to me that the risks should be "cumulative" for people who were previously infected (i.e., the denominator should include symptomatic infections and hospitalizations for previous COVID variants and not just delta) rather than "zeroing" those risks for this group and just focus on delta re-infection. The decision to only focus on delta infections will bias up the OR estimates for vaccine (in)effectiveness, so we should read the results of this paper as the possible upper bound of the ORs.

Also, the study compares the risk of delta infection, meaning that people cannot really just say "I won't get vaccinated because natural immunity is better" as the variants that provided that natural immunity are not "dominant" anymore, meaning that the opportunity to acquire natural immunity against delta is probably close to zero at this time.

Also also, isn't it something that is known that natural immunity is better than vaccine-acquired immunity? The trade-off is that natural immunity has the "side effect" of actually having to fight off and survive the illness?
Thanks for linking. So this paper is from 2001. Whereas SALT2 is from 2007. https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/pdf/2007/16/aa6930-06.pdf

This 2001 paper uses a correction template that I think is a v1 of what SALT2 is. SALT2 probably is an "improvement" on this template, so I think by identifying a problem in SALT2, I have adequate (but not 100%) reason to think this template introduces the same bias.
I don't know a lot about how the 996 culture came to be but it makes sense to me that is you're a country that is heavily invested in manufacturing goods you could enforce something like this and it would equal a boost in goods produced. But once a large portion or eventually a majority of your exports are high skill knowledge based work (like programming) then the returns will diminish as has been reported many times over the years.

This may just be a natural change as China shifts its core export.

> That's not how virtualization works, it's time sliced which is why you can have more vCPUs than physical CPUs. You can also limit the slice utilization to an arbitrary percentage or give it a priority level for scheduling.

At that point though, why bother virtualizing? If you're going for the beige PC look, why not go all the way and emulate an 80486 (or 80386 even) on an IBM PC clone in software running linux 0.01? Performance isn't going to matter too much, so you could limit it to as much or little CPU utilization as you want.

Plus, virtualizing is going to potentially require additional permissions that users may not want to grant your game (or may not be available on the platform).
Loony, completely unsubstantiated fringe deviations aside, governments really do develop and build secret technology in secrecy, in ways that can only be guessed at by very hazy inference for a time. And there are enough weird things about the JFK assassination for it to be understandable that many people, even serious investigators, spent decades with doubts about the basic lone gunman narrative.
Which is what I mentioned in my comment?

This exists for IPv6 and would need to exist for any alternative proposal.
And there are certain deployments of this in action, where hosts only have IPv6 and they only receive IPv4 connectivity via NAT mapping at the edge.

One issue with it is however that it doesn't address the address exhaustion issue since you would still need one IPv4 address for each IPv6 address you want to map to.

Not sure if it was you but I might have been one of the skeptics (don't think it was with this user though). Many of the comments I saw sounded like conspiracy fuel. I didn't downvote anything that sounded substantial (for example if it had references, or at least the disclaimer that this doesn't mean you shouldn't get vaccinated). Makes me wonder how to tell cherry picking science for conspiracy (I saw that heavily with 5G for example) from reality, especially when official outlets are not agreeing with the latest research yet.

Meanwhile, the Apple CEO received $750 million. I think mathematicians are underpaid.
I think its a bit apples and oranges. Smoking is a choice, and obesity is (quite often at least) the outcome or symptom of choices. It should be even easier to charge more for obese insured, they already have the symptoms! But that symptom is a preexisting condition which can't be considered. Also, thyroid disorders (1 in 5 women) can also cause obesity with otherwise healthy diets by dramatically lowering metabolism. So can some gut disorders. I think a way around that would be to self certify that I haven't used tobacco, alcohol, or non whole foods in the last 24 months to get my healthcare credits for each. Of have had no added augar (that gets tricky) or haven't eaten in excess of some number of calories based on my height and age.
> Sure, if your body was stuck fighting COVID19 for two weeks and you then survived ... then you are better prepared than if your body was stuck "fighting" COVID19 vaccine for half a day

From what I've read, it's less about severity of infection and more about the fact that the vaccine only introduces one specific aspect of the virus (the spike protein) to the immune system, while the actual virus introduces... all of itself to the immune system. So natural immunity ends up being more comprehensive and resistant to variants than the vaccines.

I study Korean, which also has a similar institution, and it's not really that helpful.

Real language usage is completely different than what's taught in classroom or academic environments. They are always out of date, and don't teach casual/slang usage (aka real usage by real people, not textbook language). Regular dictionaries have been invaluable.
Not using appropriate text input integration is a no-go in any platform, be it mobile or desktop.

Self-implemented keyboard input pretty much only works for the simplest use case in english-native countries.
When developing an application, configuration formats and internal data-structures typically evolve
between versions. However, maintaining backwards compatability between these versions requires
declaring and maintaining data-structures for legacy formats and code for migrating between them.
Obake aims to make this process effortless.
The loss of the small task bar icons will be annoying to me. I always fight to minimize UI real estate in my workspace, typically selecting the most compact / small offering that is still workable. I strongly prefer my task bar to remain visible but take up minimal space. I've become "used" to this problem though as UIs have all gone more and more finger friendly (read: big) over time. Definitely a good thing for the right use case, but please don't take away my option to get your application to be as non-instrusive as possible.
I hate the big baby billionaire pissing match more than the next guy, but establishing clear-cut consensus protocols for looting the solar system is the least these companies can do.

I’m surprised these talks are happening between two American corporations and an American regulatory body. Shouldn’t this sort of thing be discussed in an international forum or conference and it’s findings codified via consensual, global treatise?

Its very irresponsible, look at this nonsense masquarading as peer review of a preprint 24 hours ago

Furthermore, getting a vaccine for last year’s ailment cannot be compared to this year’s ailment, although its obvious people dont really have a choice in the matter the study should at least lead with that. There will be delta specific vaccines soon, compare to natural immunity then.

> The idea, in Bitcoin standard, is that government projects should be financed with taxes; not by printing money.

I do think many Bitcoin enthusiasts might philosophically agree with the general viewpoint that paying for Government projects with taxes is a better alternative than debasing the currency, but I'd think Bitcoin itself is totally agnostic as to what Government needs to exist or how Government should be financed.
That the instructions are simple doesn't mean that what the compiler does with them will be! It's still a long way from the actual hardware.
Here is the full conclusion of the paper, rather than the blog post which summarizes the paper:

> This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity. Individuals who were both previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional protection against the Delta variant.
No it doesn't.

Sorry, no. This is why there are anti-vaxxers to begin with. Trying to hide crucial information inside the article or censor it altogether just fuels all these misinformation campaigns.
RC is GC and whether a cycle detection algorithm uses tracing depends upon the algorithm itself. Unlike traditional tracing, a cycle detection algorithm can leverage knowledge of the reference counter which opens new possibilities. In fact, cycle detection doesn't necessarily need to be run at all - only in the ambiguous cases where RC alone isn't enough. When a code path does necessitate cycle detection, the algorithm could run immediately and, depending upon the nature of the cycle/how localized it is, the runtime could cache the knowledge for next time. Even where it must always be run, the pauses are smaller and deterministic which means it avoids the long/unpredictable/sporadic pause times tracing collectors are infamous for.
