> the amount of people suffering myocarditis and other vaccine complications is in the double-digits

This is not true, according to the CDC (as of August 18th) there at least 742 cases of myocarditis and myopericarditis associated with vaccination, potentially upwards of ~1,300 [1].

For males age 16-17 the reporting rate of myopericarditis after 2 doses of Pfizer is 71.5 per 1 million doses administered (0.0071%) [1].

Compared to natural infection, vaccination is likely still a favorable tradeoff for most people. However the tradeoffs are highly dependent on age, health, and gender. Stratifying by these factors is essential for any scientifically accurate discussion of risks.

I'm currently leading a small engineering team at a quickly growing DTC brand running on Shopify Plus. I've previously oscillated between co-founding two companies as technical lead (2009-2012, 2013-2018) and doing mainly Rails consulting over the last ~15 years. Looking to get back into either consulting, or potentially a founding engineer role. Very comfortable getting into the trenches and helping to concept and ideate very early/unformed ideas and bring them to fruition.

I am absolutely pro-vaccine, but can someone help me work through the relative risk calculations here?

Vaccine:
-?% reduction in likelihood of infection (there is currently no monitored control group and no transparent dataset that accurately accounts for baseline infection rates, geographical and demographic variation, etc.)

-?% chance of ?% reduction in severity of disease (there is no empirical evidence that has been consistent across time and location, especially as the virus mutates. All the data I've seen is aggregated across the entire vaccination campaign, never accounting for changing rate of vaccinated vs changes in baseline infection rate in each location)

-?% chance of acute vaccine side effects (VAERS unreliable, no transparent alternative dataset accessible to the public)

-?% risk of future unknown long-term effects of vaccination (including unpredictable outcomes like ADE)

-100% chance of assuming above risk of unknown long-term vaccine side effects (simply no data available by definition)

-?% chance of getting breakthrough infected with COVID-19 if exposed (I haven't seen any challenge studies, probably not possible for ethical reasons)

-?% risk of future long-term effects for recovered breakthrough infections (again, no data available. only time will tell whether breakthrough infections are less likely to lead to potential long-term effects than unvaccinated recovered infections)

-each additional vaccine booster dose adds ?% cumulative risk of both acute and long-term side effects, with no indication that boosters will ever end.

No Vaccine:
-0% chance of reduction in severity of disease

-0% chance of acute vaccine side effects

-0% chance of long-term vaccine side effects

-?% chance of getting infected and assuming a ?% risk of future long-term effects of recovered infection (my risk of getting infected is low and partially under my own control since I don't travel, work from home, self-isolate, etc)

Am I missing anything?

Even if I am relatively confident that the vaccine reduces the likelihood of infection and the severity of infection significantly and will continue to do so for variants (the data suggests this, though it less transparent than I would like, since there is no publicly accessible unaggregated dataset (e.g. infection rates for vaxxed vs unvaxxed starting AFTER 50% vaccination rate in a given region, there is no longer a control group and all "natural" control groups suffer from inherent geographical and demographic biases)

It seems to me that the number of unknowns makes the risk calculation much harder than people are making it out to be, but I would be very happy to to hear considered, thoughtful counterpoints to the above.

The issue with pretty much all of these security audits is that they typically are limited to code audits of desktop or server software.

Much of the security of VPNs though depends on the configuration of the servers/endpoints. Does it keep logs (on purpose or accidentally), are logs/traces of connections wiped from the RAM as well when you disconnect ... So even if you VPN client is perfectly secure, if someone is listening on the server nothing matters. Importantly, it's probably not unlikely that they were even set up by a "subcontractor" so even if Mozilla does everything right, there is the chance that a subcontractor still made a mistake and logs are being saved for example.

So a proper security audit would do lots of spotchecks on servers to see how well they are configured.

Hi Ben, after yet another (3rd I think? could be 4th) round of binge-watching all your videos, I was wondering if you made any progress with "Wire EDM" that you mention in one of your videos. That process is (for me, at least) pretty much pure magic. And the resulting cuts are just unbelievable.
> If the rider pedals hard enough to create excess energy (more than is required to power the motor at the current speed), that energy is dumped into the e-bike’s battery to be used later.

I’d want that to make the bike move faster. That behaviour is going to be really unintuitive. Unless I’m misunderstanding?

I have an ebike for windy/lazy days, and the assistance cuts out at 25km/h. I can still go faster by continuing to pedal sufficiently hard. I’d rather do that and sacrifice regenerated power than be limited to 25km/h.

I would say china is well placed to be producing excellemnt content for the world. Like the japanese have done for decades with their videogames and animation. China has some excellent video game content largely consumed within china. These kids are the future Game Designers, Programmers, Architects of this Industry. Its a tragedy and would have economic impact in future.
There is a gigantic difference between inflation and deflation from a policy perspective. Deflection has a positive feedback loop which does tend to cause situations where liquidity dries up literally overnight and then "boom, it happens, and people lose their jobs." Inflation tends to happen more gradually. It's manageable as long as people don't lose confidence in the currency. The fed generally wants to avoid deflation if at all possible. As people leave the job market due to automation and median age trends higher, this because more and more difficult. Japan has had serious struggles fighting off deflation for decades now.

"stagflation" is simply what happens when inflation keeps up with deflationary trends. It doesn't mean monetary policy is doing nothing. It likely means it's working as intended.
> The thinkpad line is still pretty solid.

Meh. The trackpoint and keypad on my X1 are far inferior to previous Thinkpads, like the X220, before they decided their overarching mission was to make things as thin as possible. The trackpoint is sometimes unusable and is a chore to use at all times whereas the older ones were fun.
Before you had a free lunch. Now they set a price on it. You check if the value you get from their product is worth the price they ask for (IMHO they priced it way too low). If that doesn’t match then you move away. Economics 101. The way people describe the situation in this thread makes it like they have been betrayed by their spouses… Nobody is exploiting anyone else, only one side decided to ask something in exchange for their beloved product. And only from large companies!
It is not the federal government but the _states_ that are responsible for the massive increase in student loan debt. They have historically had agreements with universities to cap tuition hikes in exchange for funding. In the past few decades, they passed bone-headed “Balanced Budget” amendments to their constitutions which force them to make drastic cuts to education whenever there’s a recession or the majority party decides tax cuts have more value than the working class getting an affordable college degree. The first round of cuts were passed with tuition hike cap repeals.
Keeping Up with the Coronavirus Variant Landscape
When you have deflation, capital in general, not just money, competes with labor.

Buffet became very rich because of this fact. In the current environment, revenue, profit, growth are what drives valuations. Cigarette butt value investing? Not so much.

But what if you have deflation and/or high taxes? A building, land, machinery, yourself, etc are what you should invest in because they can be used to make money. Those who get rich in these environments are the ones that are making a bet on depreciation of capital (property, goods, etc) being less because of an increase in value or their useful life in an environment that rewards those who put their money to work.

njstrace lets you easily instrument and trace you code, see all function calls, arguments, return values, as well as the time spent in each function.

Not sure how I would achieve that with njTrace.

Note that they don't believe it posed any additional health risks, they identified the issue that caused it and believe it affected single batch: "All the vials came from a single lot, but shots from two other lots from the same Rovi manufacturing line were suspended as a precaution." So likely nothing to worry about at scale.

Funny how almost every top-down system intended to offset problems similar to tuition costing too much are deeply flawed. They're either rife for exploitation or encourage the wrong incentives.

If you look at it in terms of purchasing power rather than on a nominal level, we've been there many times.

Honestly some commenters in the Netherlands were surprised over the past six months that people suddenly took action when their savings account went from 0% to -0.1% interest, but were entirely passive when their 0% interest account was exposed to 2% inflation for years, which has a much larger impact on purchasing power and was essentially subjecting people to negative annual returns on their purchasing power (i.e., the metric that matters).

>The difference is that the old algos used information from the image itself, and this one uses information from a lot of other images.

Exactly what I was getting at, FWIW.
It was admittedly a decade ago at this point, but I used waf before I used CMake. The thing about CMake is that it has an ugly language, but a fairly simple model of the compilation process.

The first week I started using CMake, I set up a project that built a program, then used that program to generate some code from an input file, then compiled that code as part of a library, then included that library as part of a larger application.

I'd previously spent much longer trying to get that working in waf. I just couldn't figure out how to properly define dependency relationships for anything besides the built-in languages. It looked like it would be simple, but I could never get it to actually work (correctly handling incremental builds and parallel compilation).

Waf has probably improved significantly since I last tried it, but the point of this story is that I agree with you. Learning a build system is more than just learning a language. You have to learn a data model and the functions that manipulate it. In my case, that was more difficult than learning a crufty macro language.
Thanks for the advice. I could spin out the applications in to a new company if I needed to. I have around 40 or so that have been around since 2011.
I saw it, am impressed with it. But can it be used from other languages? Maybe I need to look at the API, if it can easily be wrapped.
Wilfully submitting to and publishing in predatory journals
A gentle reminder that this is a theory of music, not "the" music theory, or more specifically Western European music theory, rooted in 17th century Germany. A problem for many "21st century classrooms" is how they VASTLY over-state the universality and "superiority" of this form of music theory.

Thing about the snooty elitist vibes of the "classical" chamber music world, then realize that almost every base assumption made have real-world counter-examples. 12 equal-tempered subdivisions to an octave is (possibly) obvious one, but most people don't realize that many musical cultures don't subdivide measures into even pulses, or have even/equal-sized measures (see "additive rhythm").
How is this definition compatible with the derivation from special relativity?

Express total energy as function of the momentum E(p) = (m^2*c^4 + p^2*c^2)^0.5 and do a Taylor expansion for momentum p_0. You'll arrive at E(p_0) = mc^2 + p_0^2/(2m /* <-- here is the factor 1/2 coming in */) + p_0^4/(8m^3*c^2) + ... The first term is the rest energy, the second term is the kinetic energy, higher ones are relativistic corrections to that. Setting kinetic energy arbitrarily to p^2/m (= mv^2 i.e. without the factor 1/2) breaks that.
That’s not really relevant, the discussion is about Docker for Desktop. But your still benefit from their brand and marketing and development efforts, as the rest of the ecosystem.
