The paper you cite describes them as mild. "...COVID-19 infection are almost twice as likely to experience one or more MILD whole body..."

So if I am taking the paper you cite as gospel, I would say they are mild as described. I think perhaps you are the one who needs to do a closer reading.
this kind of sounds like reddit to be honest, is reddit lacking something you wish would be there?

Mostly true but it drizzles a bit on the coast and there are thunderstorms with rain in the mountains so would be kinda interesting. Winter would have more activity.

Why does nobody ever reply with numbers while making claims that it's so obvious. Maybe I'm not American enough here in Europe but to me this isn't self-evident and unless my family suddenly turns anti vax (bit late for that now) it won't be so I'm going to need numbers to understand how big this is. How even would I know how many poison control calls there are in the first place? I know roughly you have like 30% (give or take 10%.) unvaccinated and some 320 million people there, so you'd need some 5 million calls to poison control before you're at a majority if only 10% actually gets poisoned from what they take and call poison control. Typing this out, there's like a dozen unknowns here (like how many people overdose, how many call this specific agency, etc.) so it seems like an extremely poor proxy anyway, but if you're still game, please enlighten me with the real number of calls to poison control. 5M is the number to beat.

Edit: as one data point, the only person I know that doesn't want the vaccine is worried about fertility. They had covid 5 months ago and are currently having long covid, so they're not entirely unprotected even if imo it's still solidly anti-vax to refuse a recommended booster dose. So they're not trusting the official stuff, and most definitely they'll not be taking random garbage that's supposed to kill animals. That's insanity, so I can't believe the majority of those left unvaxxinated in your country is that sort out crazy. It makes no sense, the furthest thing from self-evident.

Seems like a stupid design decision at that point to have a dedicated instance per user. For a pass-through they could multiplex tens of thousands of customers easily onto a single instance.

I would like to point out that long-term effects are a possible outcome in many types of flu, not just covid ex. [1][2]. Given the combination of relatively short timeframe for covid studies, the unknown complications of living in lockdowns, and the general "don't care" attitude toward these effects in previous flus, the whole "Long Covid" story at least seems rather overblown.

There are very few JSON-based hypermedia APIs being built and the few that were are almost never used as a uniform interface. They are treated as a normal, RTFM API.

In REST-ful terms (real REST, not the "REST is JSON with hierarchical end points, kinda" sense), REST has failed spectacularly in the JSON world.

Having worked on some projects that were haste-at-all-costs piles of hacks, it can be a huge morale sink being told to just bolt more stuff on and not worry about the future.

On the one hand, sometimes you really do cut that stuff loose (writing a driver for hardware and ending up switching to a different vendor), but even in those cases, there's pride in having taken the time to do the job right.

The algorithm sends winter coats and three crop tops to someone living in Texas during the summer.. it doesn’t put together outfits, consider seasons, or make selections based on budget/requests/lifestyles/etc.

Use of this data, or perhaps to be fairer on the author of the blog, the use of the data in the manner implied by Barclays is not to be encouraged.

People should NOT be trusting calls simply on the basis of the number presented and should ALWAYS validate the caller by another means.

Spoofing of numbers is a reality on communications networks worldwide.

This applies even in places in the US where they have STIR/SHAKEN tokens. STIR/SHAKEN tokens are mostly about the reactive tracing the origin of the call, not necessarily about proactive blocking spoofing.

The UK, like 99.999% of other telecoms networks in the world doesn't even have the equivalent to STIR/SHAKEN and is reliant on carriers implementing (or, more often not) various limited and mostly informal possibilities.

You would have thought a company such as Barclays would be more knowledgeable than to go around saying that you can trust a CLI if it matches one on a list we publish.
People of all classes, religions, races, and political affiliations are among those who don't want to be injected. Men and women, young and old. Knowing this would require you to talk to people out in the real world in such a way that they think they can trust you, since most are terrified to speak up. It is hard to do this unless you are sincerely one of them. What you see on TV or YouTube isn't representative of the actual population.
This is a category error. REST is a novel network architecture, the most distinct aspect of which is the uniform interface[1], and has nothing to do, conceptually, with CRUD apps.

It may be associated with web 1.0 CRUD apps, but the actual REST/hypermedia model generalizes and HTML, with a bit of help[2], can produce sophisticated UIs well beyond "CRUD".

The US Navy has conducted multiple detailed studies on AIP submarines. They are effective for short-range coastal defense. However the Navy isn't really tasked with that mission anymore. They're an expeditionary force and they need fast, high endurance submarines which can cross the Pacific Ocean in a matter of days or escort a nuclear-powered carrier. AIP submarines still can't do that. And even for the nuclear deterrent mission they lack the necessary submerged endurance.
I've never understood the purpose of significantly modifying a program in memory. Won't you just have to redo all your changes, this time to the source program, once you've settled on a design? [0] As long as you have fast, incremental compilation, doing it in memory first seems like a waste of time. It mostly seems useful for small, disposable changes, to explore while debugging or whatnot. (I suppose hacking on a process as it runs in production, or some other scenario where "halt, compile, restart" is impossible, is also a good reason, but personally I'd prefer saving process state across restarts, like XMonad does.)

[0] Of course, that doesn't apply if you're building the program entirely in memory, such as Smalltalk with its image-based programming environment.
Can you give an example? "How to do it" and "what steps to take" still sound like the same thing to me.
In my experience, Google's API completely fails when any slightly unusual vocabulary is involved (e.g. in this instance, grandparents talking about their past jobs), and tends to just silently skip over things. Amazon's wasn't much better with vocab., but at least didn't leave things out, so you could see problems. I don't have experience with any of these others, but I think for my purposes (subtitles for maths education videos) no one will have made an appropriate model yet.
>If we were to bring in an intermediary plan (say 500GB), we would have to increase the pricing of the 1TB plan (since at least 50% will now be utilized), and also set the price of the 500GB plan to at least 2x of the 100GB plan

What happens if you start by pricing all tiers "honestly" (i.e. reasonably profitable even at 100% utilization)? Have you determined that the market won't bear that pricing? If so, is there any way to meet in the middle?

In general, you may be erring a little too much on the side of asking some customers to grossly overpay for their actual utilization and, in practical terms, 100GB to 1TB is just an extremely wide gap, as evidenced by your parent's comment.

So, it seems that most who tip over into the 100GB - 1TB plan will be there, overpaying, for a long time. And, obviously, most people who make it to 1TB will pass through that range. So, if you do see a higher concentration of users in that range than at 1TB (as intuituon would suggest), then you're essentially "punishing" a plurality of your customers by asking them to subsidize a smaller group's pricing.

Failing other options, it may be better to do the inverse: raise the pricing of 1TB to accomodate a "friendlier" 500GB plan.

We've given literally billions of vaccine doses at this point. The post-vaccination tracking has been able to pick up side-effects affecting 1/100k patients. Those side-effects have also been made public by the relevant authorities immediately when concerns were raised. This tracking has not produced any kind of evidence for auto-immune disease for the mRNA vaccines.

And no, it cannot be that the side-effects you're worried about haven't happened yet. If they happened, they'd happen within weeks of the vaccination.

Look, the position that you don't think the risk-reward ratio is good enough for somebody who has recovered is pretty reasonable. But for some reason you're not satisfied with that, and are instead making factually incorrect statements both about the benefits and the risks. That makes it pretty hard to believe you're actually making that argument in good faith.
Rust didn't have to do those things either, parser generators and LLVM meant that much of the work was done for them. So they spent their time on borrow checking.

Now they are reimplementing some of those things for performance reasons, but you're going to have a hard time convincing anyone that a lisp-based rust you wrote is going to be more performance than the one that exists today, so they'd need to make those optimizations anyway.

Honestly, I think the issue here is that you’re not American, so you don’t understand the current situation here. Vaccines have been free and readily available for a long time, and those who are holding out have an unusually high percentage of cray in them. Last I checked, polling indicated that about half of the people unvaccinated indicated that would never accept the vaccine, as compared to being in more of a “wait and see” mode.

Meanwhile some states are starting to hit their highest death rates ever, and Covid is killing anti-vax politicians and celebrities at a constant rate. If rational arguments persuaded these people, they would have already been vaccinated.
More than likely Covid-19 will have the same long term side effects of any other Coronavirus or the Flu. None of the long term side effects seem particularly surprising, other than they are publicized more.

More than likely Covid-19 viral vector vaccine's (Johnson and Johnson) or Live-attenuated vaccines will have the same long term side effects of any other vaccine in these categories.

The problem with NULL in SQL is that the semantics are inconsistent in complex ways. See for example https://vettabase.com/blog/what-does-null-mean-in-sql/.
It should be noted that there is generally not really any reason to do this, and you should especially not do this to implement some vendor specific quirk.

Even in the example of the `sys_stephen` syscall from November 2016, it already clashes with the syscall number of `sys_leftpad`, proposed upstream in April 2016[1].

"I am getting frustrated by the number of people calling any HTTP-based interface a REST API. "

I am familiar with that feel.
I fear that people only care if they're told they should care, vis-à-vis the news media telling them to. Not the people are 'sheep' or anything condescending like that, but rather, people take cues from the atmosphere around them on what to be worried about and how much they need to worry about something. If the news isn't making a big stink out of something, society at large just doesn't react.
"Erode" compared to what? Texas's voting laws are still vastly more loosey goosey compared to voting in France. The Netherlands didn't even have mail in voting for the elderly last year. Most European countries have very limited early voting compared to even the "restrictive" new Texas rules.

Voting rules should instill confidence in elections among people who are low information and don't trust the other side. You can't build an election system on telling the other side "trust us" and "you can't prove bad things happened." And elections should be decided quickly and decisively, again to foster faith in the system. The NYC Democratic Primary was a shit show in this regard.

Look at how they do voting in Taiwain--we should do it that way too: https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3855762

Democrats tried to "annul" the 2004 and 2016 elections too. They had Congressional hearings over "voter fraud" in Ohio, based on the supposed mismatch between exit polls and the final results. (And that was with a 2 point margin for Bush, vastly bigger than the ones at issue in 2020.)

This thread is confusing to me. I thought everyone knew about sunk-cost fallacy, but all I keep seeing is people referring to "sunk-cost fallacy" like it's the antonym for "persistence" or something.

Sunk cost fallacy isn't saying: don't be persistent in chasing goals, or give up early. It's specifically saying the costs to get you to your current point are already lost and should not factor into whether you chose to continue forward or not. Only the potential future cost and your estimate of likelihood of future success should. Not "how much you're already invested".
I have been repeating the oft hear line: "you can't change someone's mind with rationality if rationality didn't inform their belief."

But many actually think they are being rational! My anecdote of the day:

I had a friend tell me that some official brit study claims that "vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the load of COVID-19 viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated. How can anyone believe MSNBC's bullshit when they ignore real science??"

WTF? (I say to myself.) So, I actually get online and try to search for some recent viral load study. I find this link on some ridiculous site: https://adarapress.com/2021/08/26/study-fully-vaccinated-hea...

That lame site says his line verbatim, but when you look at the actual abstract of the study that is linked: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3897733
It says: "Breakthrough Delta variant infections are associated with high viral loads, prolonged PCR positivity, and low levels of vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies, explaining the transmission between the vaccinated people. Physical distancing measures remain critical to reduce SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant transmission."
That is a totally different conclusion!

This friend is totally convinced that the government and media is trying to trick him into getting this vaccine. This is someone who actually has a BS in Science and built a MM$ business in a highly scientific field. He's read Demon Haunted World. I've always considered him to be one of my more intelligent and knowledgeable friends. And now I just do my best to avoid topics like this with him.

I am really coming to the opinion that the internet is yet another technology that our species has the intelligence to build, but lacks the wisdom to use without causing more harm than good.
The poster was probably - correctly - including hesitants. The article is about hesitants (not about the side you mention).
So how is it developing with flutter for an app and why not use it as the base for a desktop app vs. make a web version?
Google owns Fitbit now, so they've got a lot of first-party smartwatches.
A workaround is to set up a desktop email client - allow it to fully sync, then use the desktop email client to export your email and import to another account.

Google rate limiting and restricting access to your own data is pretty awful. They are similarly terrible about OAuth permissions for 3rd parties - some companies are allowed to export data on behalf of customers while others are not.
My journey with this started back in Java and Play 1. Now it's a Scalatra project. I am rewriting the front-end because the original was written with JS5 and Knockout, becoming essentially dead on arrival and pretty unmaintainable.

The idea is that the "engine" is going to be open-source, but the UI would be free and proprietary (you would be able to bolt on your own UI).

Once the UI is presentable to a point where I can actually test the engine against it, it would be ready for collaboration. But again, it's been a rough stop and go. No wonder something like this does not exist.

To be accurate, this is not a photo management project, it's a full on DAM. But I am doing photos first. Could end up being less ambitious at first, however. Even the baseline is a massive project.
re: "the expectation of true privacy" you might enjoy reading the Cypherpunk's manifesto [0]

Do you think it's possible that people could be generally pro-vaccine and be sceptical of the covid-19 vaccine?

You're trying to lump people who have legitimate concerns about the covid-19 vaccine in particular with the vaccines cause autism/magnetic vaccines crowd, and it's very dishonest. This is not some monolithic movement, and I disavow the people who are anti-vax in principle.

I'm rooting for the covid vaccines, and I hope they're everything we've been promised and more, but I will be waiting.

(I work eng full time for a company company with NFT products)

There is currently a flood of NFT's hitting the market. Like any startup, but even more so, the odds are that your NFT won't be the next billion dollar thing, and will probably be close to to zero. So you are are really optimizing for continued friendships here, most probably in the case of zero success, but also in super rare case of massive success.

Crypto eng is in stupidly high demand, so don't sell yourself short. If the eng work is small, you could do 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 which is effectively 2/3 for the artist. If the Eng work is larger, like an interactive game, or something special on the smart contracts, I'd do 50%/50%.

NFT's are often an interactive process. Your first release may not have sticking power.

Send me an @ on twitter and @danielvf when you launch, I'd love to see it.
There's always a risk-benefit calculation, depending on the person and their medical status it might not be worth it (for that person) to get vaccinated if they already had the disease. Of course for the society as a whole there might be big benefits even if some of these people stand to loose their health or even their life as with the Astra vaccine and the atypical blood clots.
Nice number, nice amp link. But ok I'll waste some more of my time checking your source for you. (edit: the comment was only a link at first.)
