> How does this risk compare to the risk of a serious adverse event or long-term consequence such as autoimmune disease from the vaccine in a healthy young man?

Where is your data that serious adverse effects are even possible beyond an absurdly tiny statistic?

And how does that compare to the risk of a break-through re-infection and the well documented long-term health issues people have developed with Covid?

Don't talk like the data is on your side when it isn't. You are being childish. Full stop.
I'm a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. I spent a lot of years reading all the research I could find.

Victims of abuse of any kind fairly often get additional baggage heaped on them that they are now damaged goods and monsters who are highly likely to abuse others because of what was done to them.

I used to see the statistic that about 30 percent of children who grow up in abusive families will go on to abuse their own children while only 5 or 6 percent of "normal" people abuse their kids.

I generally like to turn that around and say "So you're telling me that in spite of learning all the wrong lessons, two-thirds of victims will be good parents and with no justification whatsoever, five or six percent of normal people will abuse their own kids for no real reason."

I am also hearing subtext for "We shouldn't let boys get raped because men are inherently bad people inclined to become rapists. Think about da womenz. These boys should be protected to protect women from them in the future."

I don't think it adds anything of real value to this discussion of the very real issue of boys being sexually assaulted while in legal custody. Boys already face more shame and stigmatization than girls without being told "And now we expect you to become a rapist!"

I've seen comments by male victims over the years on HN about how much baggage they deal with. It's generally much worse than what I had to wash off and it was mostly men who helped me wash it off.

So I don't much like seeing this minor factor talked about in this way given all that context.
And that has to be where he read it. Nice find.
> You do not want to be wihout vaccine immunity, even if you have been infected in the past.

Why? I don't understand how that claim can be true unless somehow being exposed to the spike protein from the virus will fail to produce immunity while at the same time being exposed to the spike protein from having the mRNA make your cells synthesize it will. I'm genuinely curious so if there is some new science you can point me to I'd be grateful.

Edit: The Covid-19 vaccine is by far the most dangerous prescribed vaccine, accounting for 80.53% of reported vaccine deaths[1], so if natural acquired immunity is a real thing then how is it irrational for those who are already immune to decline to take it?

And what's with the hostility to curiosity?

Well if two people are stranded for some time on a deserted island and one is male and the other is female then they will probably have sex. For the boys they don't have opportunities other than possibly these guards. As any male who has been through puberty knows, juvenile delinquents are probably old enough to want those opportunities.
For some of the guards the situation might not be that different.

I'd be very hesitant to just go after these guards as rapists. The way to solve the situation would instead be to do the obvious thing and simply require male guards for male prisoners, as old-fashioned as such a provision might be.
Has anyone discovered a way to download full-quality digitizations from the site instead of the default distribution-quality MP3s? I'm curious how much further I could clean up some examples with some bespoke treatment.
I don't really get what's evil about AI models and cloud sync.

I am aware of and do think animals can suffer. Ethically you should kill them before eating them. What I'm saying is the Japanese do it with fish and other sea creatures but yet that must mame it okay cause it's just fish or lobster.

But at the end of the day it really does not matter. If youve been desensitized to it in your life as a nonwesterner, who are we to demand they change their culture?
You are referring to rape. What is there to "deescalate"? Why would you want to "deescalate" someone who is going to commit rape?

I'd argue you can't cram any electrons into any finite space without infinite energy. But we're not really talking quantum physics, here.
What is absurd about that? Taxes are necessary to run society, but it's no secret that they function the same way as rent seeking. It's dead weight loss, which is bad for the economy. That's not controversial.
In 6 years of being in a startup environment, being fast never gave me any advantage.

In fact, being too short sighted and always reaching for the easy wins gave me a lot of fragile products. The value is in well-engineered stuff. But I used to prioritize product over everything. I'm a recovering product-first engineer.

My take now is different: I'm very well aware of product and code quality. But I'm resisting my compulsions to actively control myself. I just do.

I work on whatever problems I feel are important at the day. I usually end up having product cycles and code cycles automatically.

I'm happy with this strategy. A semi-technical boss that constantly whispers micro management commands in my ears is my worst nightmare now. I'm grateful, I don't have one anymore.

Also: Wat, you don't unit test? Well then have fun developing "fast" by having to manually test your app's IO.

Nothing wrong with it, and it absolutely will stop any kind of casual or software recovery.

However, physically destroying the disk is the only way to be sure. And amusingly, it's often faster to physically destroy the disk than it is to run shred on it at today's capacity to write speed ratios.

Bonus, not only does physical destruction cover non-working sectors it works on entirely non-functioning disks.
Linking to a page to report adverse effects is not an adequate citation that they happen with any reasonable consistency to be opposed to getting a vaccine.
> There is no way YouTube could work without a recommendation system.

This doesn't make any sense. The recommendation system that exists right now will only tell you to keep watching more of things you already watch. YouTube already works without a recommendation system. Recommendations by YouTube are the source of... very little that I watch there. You watch things because you already know what you want and search for it, or because you got a recommendation from something other than the YouTube recommendations.
I found the linked blog post insightful, but there is plenty of prior discussion.

The thing is, the sea-of-objects-where-everything-mutates-everything-else programming model is fundamentally bad. It's too hard to reason about. Programs and data need structure. There certainly are structures that do not easily fit into Rust's constraints (e.g. when you're modelling an arbitrary graph), but when you choose a sea-of-objects design when not absolutely required by the problem domain (and it almost never is), you choose poorly.

Even if you do need to model an arbitrary graph (for example), though a traditional programming language would make it a lot easier than in Rust, I still wouldn't necessarily let that dictate the choice of programming language. Most likely your program will end up doing a lot more than just banging on the graph and those parts may benefit from a more disciplined programming language.
Bees are dangerous, kill them all.
Your comment doesn't make a lot of sense, since "prove" is exceedingly rare. In fact, most airline systems have weird failure modes after 30 days, 60 days, 2^n rollover, etc. that require a reset. Airbus planes were famous for needing a reboot after taxiing, for a few years (those appear to be fixed now.)

However, avionics devices are independent black boxes, and most non-trainer airplanes have redundant power buses, so usually there's power. (Trainers have a main bus and a relatively small automative-type battery.)

There is a move in smaller planes in 2021 to allow glass-only cockpits with no steam-gauge electric backups like AIs to save money, which most pilots thinks is a huge mistake. (No AI at night or in hard IFR would be fatal.)

The savings are about $2,000 at mfg. time, so you can see why people are side-eyeing this.
People said TV was bad, let's move on YT. It got popular. Now, YT is bad. I am now starting to think People are bad.
Again, depends heavily on the industry. Also, I'm not entirely sure this is a good thing; I see a lot of "Twitter famous" people fawning over each other at the moment in something resembling a white-collar version of the US tipping culture, but I don't think that kind of behaviour should be allowed to take root more than it already has. One of the other positives we should be taking from a remote-first culture is greater appreciation for the practices of other cultures (since they are now so much more accessible). I hope we're not sliding towards a world where American fake niceness dominates and more reserved modes of interaction are sidelined.

That CDC report is very careful to word its abstract to hide that the findings are from a very small group of people (a whopping 50 fully vaccinated) without even mentioning overall immunity levels across the general population. I'm not arguing that vaccine + natural antibodies aren't more effective - they are - but you're going to have to do a lot better than that to justify wanting to vaccinate everyone who's already been infected despite the known risks [1].

It's very common with Japanese companies. You should see the statements Naoki Yoshida puts out for Final Fantasy XIV (and he's not even Square Enid's CEO).

Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine ... for the C4591001 Clinical Trial Group

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2034577

«The incidence of serious adverse events was similar in the vaccine and placebo groups (0.6% and 0.5%, respectively). // This trial and its preliminary report have several limitations. With approximately 19,000 participants per group in the subset of participants with a median follow-up time of 2 months after the second dose, the study has more than 83% probability of detecting at least one adverse event, if the true incidence is 0.01%, but it is not large enough to detect less common adverse events reliably»

For the rest, I hoped to find active monitoring for severe adverse events, but I found only passive monitoring.

Can you be specific about where the parent comment is engaging in black and white thinking?

I’d also argue that thinking about the morality of rape isn’t "fun".
Here is an algorithm that could work and run reasonably quickly, although it might not be optimal:

1. Find all vertices with degree N > 40 (eg: find all points in the graph with more than 40 outgoing edges).

2. For each pair (a, b) of these degree N > 40 vertices, find the set of common points (c) connected to both a and b by edges, eg: there exists 2 edges (a - c) and (b - c). In essence, you're forming V shapes (a - c - b) where the two tips (a, b) of the V have at least N > 40 outgoing edges.

3. Identify the pairs of vertices (a, b) that are connected by 40 or more Vs (eg: there are at least 40 pairs of (a - c) and (b - c) edges).

4. Remove the (a - c) or (b - c) edge with the highest weight. If (a - c) and (b - c) have equal weight, remove the edge which is connected to the node a or b with more outgoing edges.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until each (a, b) pair has at most 39 Vs connecting them together.

At this point, I think you can color the graph with N=40 colors (one color for a and b, then different colors for each in-between point of the 39 Vs between them).

There might be a way to improve the criteria for which edge to remove in step 4 (maybe using the backtracking approach mentioned by other commenters), but this should be a decent starting point.

"Skeptics" is a very generous portrayal of the anti-vax crowd.

They are not skeptics. Their opposition is not based on missing information, it is based on conforming to an ideology. Which is diametrically opposed to skepticism.

The jury acquitted because "the girl didn't seem upset enough." How upset does one need to be throughout the course of an entire trial?

My philosophy of learning is almost the complete opposite:

Find a Project.

Any Project. That will give you a real-life set of goals for your learning. You will find roadblocks. Getting past those is what is teaching you.

Build one to throw away.

By the time you have finished your project, you will have learned enough to realise that your completed project is Unbelievably Bad. Throw it away and rewrite it from scratch using your new found knowledge. Sometimes, you will even throw away that second one. (And even the third....).

Expand Your Horizon.

I have used one particular pet project several times. Each time that project produced new learning, and new challenges, and new solutions. It's also improved from being a very simple project to being quite a complex beast. It's moved from Z80 assembly, through C and from plain text through curses to a GUI, and on through X to its current incarnation in GTK+. It won't be long before it will be asked to move from GTK 3 to GTK 4.

Per NIST Special Publication 800-88 Rev. 1 (p. 7):

> For storage devices containing magnetic media, a single overwrite pass with a fixed pattern such as binary zeros typically hinders recovery of data even if state of the art laboratory techniques are applied to attempt to retrieve the data.

* https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-88/rev-1/fi...

If you're really paranoid use degaussing or physical destruction. If you can, use the SATA/SCSI "secure erase" command. Which definitely needs to be done for non-magnetic media (e.g., SSDs).

I'm sure there are some places where regulations dictate certain actions.
Probably good feedback for the author. People don't have time to read every article they come across fully so they're evaluating quality as they go. Throwaway comments like this will have the effect of losing audience so best to leave them out.

You obviously don’t have any real insight into the company or the changes that were made. There aren’t employees putting in a “few hours here and there”, and the minimum commitment previously was 15 hours. They’ve restructured scheduling policies to a very large degree from how it’s operated for almost 10 years. They now require exact time-shift commitments to the minute, for multiple hours within a tight schedule timeframe, and you still are on-call. Before you were able to schedule anywhere from 15-29 hours and you would set hours during the day that you could complete around your own schedule.

Your assumption of things aren’t close, and they didn’t lose employees who barely worked. They lost employees who have anything else going on between the hours of 8-8 between Tues-Sat, and worked the job for flexibility..
I don't see the phrase "private key" in this article. The only mention of the word "private" is in a mention of how the problem was reported to Microsoft.

I don't believe private keys were in use here, instead I expect these are secrets and the thing about secrets is, as Bono sang, "A secret is something you tell one other person" which means now there's another party that can lose it.

This is a reason to avoid using shared secret schemes and instead prefer private keys, because if access to Cosmos DB required a private key you as the only one with the key know if you gave that to Jupyter, if you didn't then it can't very well have given copies to anybody else. Unfortunately this is also why systems often don't use such an approach, enabling Jupyter across Azure likely earned somebody a promotion.
There was a pretty good SSC article on kind of the same subject: https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/04/04/determining-consent/

Basic idea is, yeah it feels a very wrong and likely to cover up lots of serious abuse to say that jailers are allowed to have sex with their inmates. But if you're in custody in a same-sex facility and jailers are the only people of the opposite sex you're ever in contact with, it seems also a little wrong to effectively say you're not allowed to have any sex with anyone ever (presuming you're not homosexual of course).
