Indiana currently has about 44% of overall population vaccinated (3.0M out of 6.8M).

Since January the state has recorded the following numbers of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths: [1]

Unvaccinated Vaccinated
C 278,508 6,740
H 16,322 226
D 5,709 78

(The article did not provide a full breakdown by age, but did note that Indiana’s vaccinated population skews older and would have higher baseline risk for complications.)

Sure. Utility, in this sense, is a proxy for the enjoyment/satisfaction gained by the consumer from the thing.

You seem to be interpreting utility in terms of the quantity of things the money can be used for or in terms of the societal benefit that can be obtained from the money, it is not entirely clear.

I have on occasion reached out to public intellectuals for personal advice and wisdom over the years. Unique among everyone, he's been invariably wise and generous with me (a total stranger). He also writes back almost immediately.

The only people online who have a similarly thoughtful and generous spirit, in my direct experience, is Russ Roberts and Scott Alexander.

>But last I heard the vaccine is not that effective to Delta variant.

That's not exactly the case. Neutralizing antibodies created from the vaccines work about as well against delta as they did against alpha. The main differences are that delta:

* Spreads more efficiently
* Has a shorter incubation period
* Produces a higher viral load in those infected

The incubation period being shorter means your T-cells have less time to ramp up in the case of naturally-waning antibody levels (which applies to people who were vaccinated at the beginning of the year), giving the infection more time to set in (remember, viruses grow exponentially). The higher viral load likewise means that the circulating antibody levels that were adequate for alpha may not be sufficient for delta. So we may see that people vaccinated with Moderna now have a better response against delta due to it creating twice as many antibodies.

Absolutely not. An SSN is at best a username. It's not a password. It doesn't even have a checksum in it - my library card number is is literally more secure than my SSN.
I was aware of that.

From what I read, the mRNA vaccines manages to get the spike in to the cytoplasm, just like the real virus, so it to that extent mimics what is desired.

Whereas the viral vector (a different delivery technology) used for the AZ vaccine manages to get the spike in to the nucleus, due to picking the "wrong" vector, so to that extents it could be said not to mimic what is desired.

There was speculation that if it had used a different vector which delivered to the cytoplasm, then some of the low probability issues may have been avoided. So one could argue that the choice of vector was/is a bug with the AZ vaccine. Despite that, it does seem to be having the desired effect - reduced hospitalisations.

Mind, I've had the AZ vaccine, and so far have survived.

I can't see this succeeding when the laptop I have to assemble myself costs more than a prebuilt laptop with much better specs. I love the idea too, but the price seems a little outrageous.
Yes, I didn't get the Fly.io association either, but CFW looks about right.
This is already possible for certain genetic disorders.

For late-life diseases though, it's likely they are linked to exposure to something during the individuals lifetime (i.e. parkinson's disease from pesticide exposure) and genetic makeup can only predict probabilities for susceptibility.

Alzheimer's specifically is thought to be linked to chronic aluminum exposure (e.g. water treatment, antiperspirant deodorant, etc.).
Not the OP, but antibodies are just one part of a fairly complex immune system and it does not make too much sense to concentrate just on them. Antibodies are proteins and their level goes down over time naturally. What really interests you is the level of immune response on subsequent exposure to the pathogen, which may be pretty robust even if antibodies are low or undetectable at the moment of new exposure.

We obviously do not know yet whether we can get permanently robust immune response to SARS-CoV-2, either from vaccines or from natural infection; the virus is only two years old. We know that we can get permanently robust immune response to the viruses you mentioned in your post. But this cannot be easily generalized to any new virus that comes along.

UBI would help a lot with homelessness and blight. Also seattle is not nearly as bad as the rest of those places in 90+% of the area.
Response time !== resolution time.

Response time can mean an automated email that a ticket was created and that someone is looking into it.

Now because you are a 1 person company this could be a problem.

Also you need to split incident by categories as an example:

P1 > 1h
P2 > 24h
P3 > 48h

Your customer may not be aware that their issue may be well classed as P2 or P3 (you mentioned the nature of the service doesn't require this).
Firstly, I am supportive of heavily subsidized/free post-secondary education. However, there is a substantial difference between K-12 and post-secondary.

K-12 is considered a baseline for society. Everyone is expected to have it. It absolutely makes sense for the government to pay for it.

Post-secondary is a different beast. It is not a baseline for society (Even if it is a baseline for white collar-work). Not everyone is expected to have it. People who end up in, on average, better-paying jobs are the primary beneficiaries of cheap/free post-secondary education.

There are two ways out of this situation.

1. You can make post-secondary the baseline. Everyone could be expected to have it. This... Is probably a good idea for building better citizens (and, by proxy, a better society), but it is not economically cost-optimal.

2. You can keep post-secondary as a special privilege for the a select few, citing that society, as a whole, benefits from educating its most capable members. In that case, you'd need hard admissions testing/filtering/etc, it should be easy to drop out if you can't perform once you've been admitted, and universities should primarily focus on education, rather than being a four-year, three-star resort for middle-class young people.

Neither of these two options would look anything like "College, as it is currently practiced in the United States, but paid for by the government."
Is there a similar thread about level/competence check ?
Indeed the Dutch economy is fine. Everyone expected COVID to be some kind of economic disaster but despite heroic efforts by the finance minister to spend money like water the Netherlands still only has a 70% GDP debt ratio and unemployment is at 4%.

There's a lot wrong with the Netherlands and Dutch people but economically everything is still chugging along nicely. Our sole saving grace.
they do use mullvad to provide this service and mullvad's pricing model is flat monthly rate at ~$5 and yet mozilla charges almost double the amount per month at $9.99 and you need to get locked in to 12 month subscription to get the same price as mullvad charges.

i don't get what is the reasoning behind this
I live in South Carolina, where the pandemic is especially bad now, and where vaccine uptake has been low. A friend told me that ambulances were being turned away at the front door of a local hospital.

It is true that there are many possible factors for this, that planning at that hospital might have been questionable and/or very profit-oriented. Also, I've read that a lot of medical staff have gotten fed up with the situation, and in some cases quit their jobs.

But matter the underlying causes, it's a scary picture.

A family member (from the US) moved to Australia gradually - first on a tourist visa, which I believe he reset a couple of times by taking short trips to Thailand and Vietnam, then found a job that enabled him to get a temporary worker visa and I believe now a more permanent form of residency. It did seem like a stressful process though. And this was all pre-COVID, no idea if any of that is feasible at the moment.

A better question in my mind is whether or not going to college is a good use of time.

If people are just doing it to get a job, well, why not set up and support trade schools instead?

David gerrard has a hard-on for anti cryptocurrency advocates but I can't see anyone else accusing the el Salvador president of being a dictator. Just because he does not agree with his politics and he is from South America he is labelled as a single wannabe dictator.

Seems to me that Gerrard is fighting to stay relevant.

It's not a question of a tax on the rich vs. a tax on the poor, it's a tax on savers to benefit borrowers and spenders. You're forcing the responsible to subsidize the irresponsible. Donald Trump loves low interest rates for example, because he uses debt for everything. My grandmother by contrast, would always be sure to have a rainy day fund with plenty of cash. Having lived through the Great Depression, she knew it was prudent to always keep some cash on hand and not have everything tied up in illiquid assets.
The ‘sea-nomad’ children who see like dolphins
Agreed.

It's like understanding syntax or grammar for a language. Making explicit names, categories, and systems to take apart what you're doing/saying. 99% of the time though people don't think about that, they go by "feel."

But if you can understand the underlying framework, you can also work to intentionally use those to your advantage such as by reinforcing expectations or subverting them in clever ways. Obviously you can also do this by "feel," but an understanding of the underlying mechanics and systems gives you a better framework to spot the points where you can get away with things. When you want to get deeper and push the boundaries of a craft it also helps to understand what "best practices" are in place and why, and then look to exploit them.

I have a friend who was self-taught guitar and a variety of other instruments and only recently started on piano and proper theory. It's been fun watching him recognize and get a framework for why things he's intuitively known, such as how a cadence works or key transitions through a circle of fifths, be brought to the surface explicitly.
I think that translates to "why not have the taxpayer pay for college education too?" Which means that the person who doesn't need/get a college education (think your electrician) is now stuck paying for those who choose to get one and is seeing none of the benefits. Better to have the people who get the benefits pay for the privilege.

At the very least we can recognize that "market value" and "aesthetic value" are two different things. The only thing you are really measuring when looking at the economics of art is the "market value" so the other thing you have to pass over in silence, as Wittgenstein would say.

The art world is notorious for being a tax avoidance scheme, on top of money laundering and all sorts of other related activities. Tying market value and aesthetic value in the art world makes about as much sense as introducing the concept of "aesthetic value" when talking about Apple's stock price.

Can you explain why you think Linus/LMG/Floatplane's service is more trustworthy than YouTube? I do not share that opinion.

My starting position is that he is guided by business pressures not terribly different from YouTube's, from the following anecdata:

I understand Linus started Floatplane because his business relies on YouTube, a single point of failure

With PIA/Kape, he left whether or not to accept advertising dollars up to a user vote in YouTube's chat. It came out tied at first, and then he went to the Floatplane stream to break the tie, which ended in favor of accepting PIA advertising

In live streams he has spoken somewhat negatively about "free speech" advocates

I think Floatplane will simply go where the dollars go in the long run, and I see little in the way of moral conviction that they would e.g. fight government regulations or payment processor demands.
