With half the population vaccinated, around 1/6th of the disorders diagnoses across the entire population in a year can be expected to happen 4 months after vaccination and be reported in VAERS.

There's about 16,000 new cases of Lupus ever year, there should be around 2,500 cases of Lupus following vaccination that could be reported into VAERS.
It seems exceptionally odd that someone you don't know is calling you out on this and not your direct manager. You need to talk to your manager asap and in the interim a. Be extra careful not to "give away points" eg by missing stand-up due to timezone stuff and b. Document everything. It could simply be that you ran into someone looking for air cover for their own screw-up. It happens, sadly.
Interesting. But I would be weary of confounding variables here… E.g. those who got infected and those who got vaccinated in Jan/Feb were probably pretty different groups (in terms of age, social habits, health, etc). They try to control for that in the statistical analysis, but this is often hard to do well when groups are very different.

EDIT: An obvious problem if you are looking at deaths is (literal) survival bias.
We often take that for ganted and when death comes unexpectedly we regret for not saying anything.
The chance that any pictures from your library are revealed at all is at most one in one trillion (mod you not storing CSAM or being attacked by someone trying to plant evidence on you). Contrast this to a server side scanning system where every photo in your library will be accessed with unknown false positive characteristics.
This really moved me. My dad went through brain surgery last year and his four sons converged from around the country. We all barely speak to each other. A holographic will was produced, ten loose leaf pages in impossible handwriting, the last few pages written by him right before he went into surgery while his fourth wife held the pad and guided his hand with a pen. I wish we had conducted ourselves with grace, but two of my brothers are lawyers, so we're shouting at each other in his house while he's having a full craniotomy. Luckily he survived and is back somewhat in his faculties for now, and seems cognizant that he doesn't want to leave this strife behind between his wife and his kids. But this still made me choke up because there's not much anyone can do. I think about my dad's regrets and his father's and see them repeated in myself and my brothers. None of us knows what we're really doing, do we? We're all trying our best to pretend we have some control.

driving 15k miles @25 mpg = 600 gallons of gas (15,000 / 25)

gallon of gas has 19.60 lb co2 / gallon [1] = 11,760 pounds of co2 (600 * 19.6) = 5.88 tons (19.6 * 600 / 2000)

cost for clime works to sequester co2 is $600 [2] so total cost to sequester for the 15k is $3,528 (5.88 * 600)

cost to sequester per gallon is $5.88 per gallon ($3,528 / 600 gallons)

price of gas in NYC is $3.11 per gallon so new cost per gallon factoring in the current high cost of carbon capture is $3.11 base price + $5.88 to sequester = $8.99 per gallon

yeah your math seems great lol

assuming cost to sequester goes down to $100 per ton, the cost for 15k of driving at 25mpg would be $588 (5.88 * $100), cost to sequester per gallon would be $0.98 so the new price of gas in NYC would be $4.09 (3.11 + .98), actually not absurd given recent trends and probably not high enough to discourage people from driving

Private Rescue Efforts Grow Desperate as Time to Evacuate Afghans Runs Out
Personally I want as many people to have as much immunity to covid as possible, in order to limit (and ideally eradicate) the spread of covid. So the stronger your immunity gets, the more likely it is you will harbor less virus and therefore less likely to spread it to others.

Also, over the last year and a half, my mom went into chemo for like 6 months, had a minor heart attack (and was in the ICU twice for almost two weeks), and went into the ER recently—the majority of those times the hospital wouldn't even let me or my dad into the hospital to visit because covid cases were so high.

For me, the goal is societal (global) reduction or eradication of the virus and for that so that we don't have to argue about masks or vaccines or watch friends and family die or get wickedly sick.
The problem, as with every memory-holed episode ever, is that people watching/listening for the first time (or say they only use X platform to consume whatever) will never know they existed.

In other words, lying by omission is still lying.

Edit to add- just to show how unbelievably petty the reasoning can be- Tyler Perry threw a bitch-fit about an episode of Boondocks and had it pulled (as was an episode ripping on BET when they screamed). For something that was pure satire and a cartoon they not only had it pulled from airing, they now no longer list the episodes at all on Hulu/HBOMax, pretending they never existed at all, even re-numbering the episodes.

All because of Tyler Perry/Some BET exec's ego? GTFO.

We have Holocaust deniers while still having people alive that survived it. We have people constantly denying proven, recent history and some people think it's ok to censor shit and pretend it never happened and it'll be all roses and sunshine.
Interesting. That did not occur to me. Thank you for sharing this. Lets see where this goes.

No, the presumptive question was "If Trump delivered, would you take it?"

Not "Do you trust that Trump will deliver in time?"

Or anything about reliability being affected by "rushing" things, because when it did arrive in the timeframe Trump promised, no one was concerned about the speediness compromising any quality or reliability.

The election was over by that point.
A true and fair democracy would ensure that all candidates had the same economic means to broadcast their policies. Yes, that means giving unsavoury parties a platform. Yes, that means state sponsored political party advertising and messaging. And yes, it means the regulation of social media.

That’s why it will never happen. That’s why democracy is a flawed system.

Democracy is a product of the last century and is now fragile in the face of technology and capital markets.

As has always happened, money will ultimately decide the next political era. This is not new for humanity.

Although, I’m hopeful that we have faced these challenges before and nearly always come up with better ways.
The more direct link is the reporting that hit PornHub and there is plenty of info on these religious / 'moral crusader' groups.

The NyTimes link below is opinion but it lays out facts and puts in the context of OF decision. It talks about the original nytimes PornHub op-ed by Kristof and his connections to anti-sex religious groups.

I think the rhetoric these groups use is very similar to the CP-as-an-excuse, but their goal ism't simply to remove illegal content (which everyone agrees is bad). It's to curb porn and sex work in general.

We don't have the water for that. Sorry.
Yeah, one thing is bugging me here. The judge said that they should have investigated more carefully before filing. But the case got dismissed, partly because it was filed too late.

I mean, I guess you can put the two together (filed without checking whether there was any basis in reality, and filed late because you were busy filing 60 other lawsuits that also had no basis in reality). But the juxtaposition just seemed odd.
Crime is not difficult. Every woman is already in danger. As is every human. Every animal. The world is dangerous.

If level of danger caused by a company was proportional to punishment, then every gun or tobacco (secondhand smoke) or fossil fuel company would have to have everyone in the org resign effective immediately.
You don't have to be a NIMBY to say that. You can also just be realistic. We don't have the water.

Too bad their users in particular aren't the kind to be open minded to other platforms, they just follow the crowd. As an answer to the headline, they'll fail in their attempts to gain in other avenues because not everyone is a follower like gamers are.

There is no single ad platform but a dozen+ large ones across the web. Probably thousands+ if you include all the real time bidding players. In no world would all of them be honest and many would be dishonest in subtle ways. Modern capitalism is all about hiding the externalities.

The regulation people want, such as even stronger GDPR, is effectively almost a technical feasibility block on these things. Any other attempt is always going to be behind the technology curve and thus significantly less useful. Moreover politicians will add in exceptions for their top donors and friends. This is harder is regulation that doesn't get into deep weeds.

>Unemployed by choice is an unfamiliar notion... but, on reflection, anyone with in-demand skills and sufficient savings does have that choice.

Very right. But we need to remember the "Time" factor too (i.e. Ageing). I am in a peculiar place, due to circumstances which have left me no option but a single unfavourable one and it has been hard maintaining needed "in-demand skills" for a possible future career resurgence. So i am thankful that i worked like crazy when younger and saved up which is what is sustaining me now.
Debian packaging is its own form of source control: there's a debian/changelog file with versions, and every time you submit something new to the Debian archive, it has to be a new version with a new changelog entry.

Debian also has a strong individual ownership culture of packages, and it was even stronger then. Each package has a listed maintainer (nowadays it's often a team, but there isn't an "everyone" team short of the Debian QA Group, which is who orphaned packages get reassigned to). While every Debian developer has technical access to upload every package, it's strongly socially frowned upon to upload someone else's package. So under that model, you don't really need the collaboration or concurrent-editing features of source control systems.

And yes, I remember that in about 2007 very few Debian packages had their packaging in any sort of standard version control tool (CVS, SVN, etc.) You'd get the sources via apt-get source, and then if you wanted to contribute, you could send in a patch by email to the bug tracker and the maintainer would incorporate it.

Of course there are a whole lot of other quality-of-life features that real version control systems get you, which is why people ended up adopting them. But it's not like there was a shared directory on a server somewhere that every Debian developer just edited in place or whatever.

the little things matter
What really matters is how much carbon you can capture per unit electricity used. Presumably you're going to run the carbon-capture plant on renewable electricity. If it can't capture more carbon per watt-hour than your dirtiest non-renewable power plant, you might as well just use the renewable electricity directly and junk the non-renewable plant.
It isn't just the name.
I think it's pretty safe to say that UCB has a much more "elite" reputation than Merced or Davis.

(Whether or not you actually get a higher-quality education at UCB isn't really relevant; the perception, rankings, etc. are what matter when people decide what school they want to go to.)
Discord has taken things that worked in the web client and removed them to force you to download their app.
Not really related to the discussion at hand but I often wonder if that's the right way to make laws? "Intent is king" is the watchword of modern American jurisprudence but I ask you: If you killed 3 people, are they less dead if it was an accident? If people knew they would be punished for consequences instead of intent, would people be more careful about considering the consequences of their actions? Would that make for, just in general, a more observant, more considerate, more intelligent populace, with less collateral damage? By extension, might that result in more just/fair laws just in general?

I'm fairly confident this "intent" thing is absolutely the wrong way to build a society. I would love if someone would engage with this idea and offer criticisms for/against but so far nobody has.
There's also the "jsc.exe" JScript.Net compiler included in .NET framework installs. You can access .Net assemblies and APIs. It's handy to have it out-of-the-box on modern Windows machines.
Many of the comments here are critical of Cantor or his proofs… it’s reminiscent of the reaction that the poor guy received from his contemporaries, who basically shunned him for many years.

It’s a fundamental mathematical fact that there does not exist a bijection between the naturals and the reals. This is what provides genuine distinction between the discrete and the continuous, the countable and the uncountable. It certainly is a mind-blowing fact. But many facts blow the human mind, and it isn’t Cantor’s fault that he was brilliant enough to discover one such.

"Deplatforming" works, because what you just did is use a nicer sounding euphemism for censorship. Obviously with censorship you can hinder the spread of information, regimes like the CCP do this very successfully. The question is at what cost, and who decides what is misinformation? Does it actually result in a net positive for society over time?

The most livable societies I know are all open societies. Once you start censoring this you might also want to censor that and the misinformation here, and this doesn't sound right either... Maybe your own comment is misinformation. Maybe saying we need more restrictions on speech is a dangerous idea. Should I lobby for your speech to be deplatformed, as you call it?
I still remember that day when a South African colleague, who was a known Linux fan-boy, was enthusing about Linux (and also belittling Windows in the process as is customary) attempting to get us to try the OS. He even used to use Emacs for Java programming.

I had asked him then: "What about software such as Adobe Photoshop? How do I use that in Linux?"

He had said "We have GIMP! And it is free too..."

I had thought, "GIMP? What sort of name is that?". I had imagined GIMP to be a shoddily put-together Photoshop clone with a clunky interface. An amateurish, buggy imposter.

And here I am now, roughly 19 years later, typing this in Xubuntu. I plan almost every aspect of my life through Emacs Org-Mode.

And I haven't gone near a pirated copy of Photoshop for years.

> Implemented properly, zero-trust computing provides the highest level of security for organizations. We support the White House effort to deploy this model across the federal government.

And there we have the explanation for this substantial donation of resources. This will hopefully unlock some $10B-a-pop contracts to convert government systems to Zero Trust, which Google conveniently has a solution they can sell the feds.

Not to mention if they win the security angle this might be a wedge for them to get generic compute onto GCP for government projects.
There is very little risk to the mRNA vaccine. So, what do you mean "warrant exposure to 50 Billion copies if mRNA." This is just trying to throw out a big number to sound scary, but in fact tells you nothing about the risks.
Eh, sort of, but that'll be a whole other research effort. A lot of the maps exist already at least.

But I think the way to encourage reducing waste and capturing waste to be in financial competition is that if capture costs $100/ton you charge a $90/ton tax so that your efforts are 90% funded already ($400B of the $500B) if they just paid the tax and changed nothing, while if they dropped their emissions in half they'd save $55/ton relative to a competitor that did nothing. But at least there is still an actual plan for the commons built in.

But I like that it sets a benchmark for what carbon pricing needs to be to provide a real incentive to stop emitting it.

FWIW, they do eventually get there; we should see docker on runj some time in the medium future, wireguard works fine in userspace and will be in the kernel soon, and hardware support is hit-or-miss but it's okay in my experience (although obviously that's very variable by person/machine).

You have that backwards. Housing can only be affordable if it's not a good investment. If it's a good investment, people will buy houses expecting to get much more out of it than just a place to stay.

Look at Japan, for example, where houses lose their value after 40 years. I pay cheaper rent in Tokyo than I ever did in even mid-sized American cities.

> We’ll, for one it’d ruin sports.

Sports competitions are already rife with athletes on the juice. So it's not like officially authorizing the use of steroids and performance enhancing drugs in competitions would significantly change anything for the worst. One can practice a sport without choosing to enter a competition. The health benefits don't require a medal.

> You’d basically be telling athletes that they’d need to subject their bodies to the side effects of steroids if they wanted to remain competitive in their sport.

Adults are responsible for the consequences of their own decisions. No one is forcing athletes to partake in competitions. Being competitive for the Olympics already pretty much require one to begin intensive training in childhood, if not earlier.

It is very difficult for one to become a professional musician and make a comfortable living from playing music if one doesn't dedicate most of their waking hours to practice and graduate from Juilliard.

"Pro-vaccine faction" sure sounds like a loaded term. Look, the CDC says if you were infected, you should still get the vaccine because it gives additional protections. This paper says the same. The vaccine is extremely safe from all of the data we have seen so far, much safer than getting COVID. So just get the vaccine. It's really not that hard unless you make it hard.
