One difference between HPV vaccination in boys and COVID vaccination in kids is that if the unvaccinated boy eventually does give HPV directly to a girl she probably will not be his mother or sister. A kid spreading COVID on the other hand does have a good chance of giving it to siblings and parents.

Does that make any difference ethically?

In the HPV case you are weighing risk to the boy against potential harm to a vague ill-defined community. He's only endangering his sister or mother by perhaps slightly raising the level in the general population and so slight increasing the chances someone unrelated to him they have sex with will give it to them.

In the COVID case you are weighing risk to the child against risk of harm to the rest of the child's immediate family. Losing immediate family can be pretty harmful to a child, perhaps enough to ethically justify taking some risk to the child to avoid it.

> Your question about the supreme Court by its nature is invalid.

That's an interesting comment - "invalid". I was asking for your opinion when I asked "Do you consider it is the role of SCOTUS to be the moral arbiter of women's bodies?"

How can it be invalid to ask for your opinion?

Perhaps you meant it would be irrelevant what anybody's opinion was of the role of SCOTUS because in your schema, the role of SCOTUS is prescribed as "Supreme Court interprets or applies the laws under the constitutional framework." For you, perhaps that is absolutely clear and precise, and not at all subjective or political.

But have you considered that SCOTUS has discretion about which cases it chooses to hear? In this case, the Texas legislature has passed a law that the applicant tried to challenge as unconstitutional.

Is the legislation unconstitutional, and if so, how?

We don't know, and we haven't been informed at all by SCOTUS because it decided 5-4 not to hear this case.
It's interesting how often someone high up pushes a vendor solution that won't work, and when you explain that it is not workable, and why, (and not just you but basically everyone knows) you would expect them to say "thanks for discovering this critical flaw, we'll can them immediately and select a better solution" or, "we'll have a couple of architects look into that and report back" at least. But instead, they look at you like you just created an embarrassing problem for them and now you're the enemy.

One reason might be that they are receiving some kind of compensation from that vendor. A more charitable explanation would be that they want to cover up a big mistake by loudly affirming that it was not a mistake, and you are in the way of that. Either way, the fact that they don't really want to know whether it was a mistake, and if they know, don't want to fix it, tells you all you need to know about them.

I work in healthcare IT and many times have heard an “I’m just a nurse” dodge, and I respond in just this fashion — “Good! Then you have just the skills needed. In fact you don’t even have to diagnose the problem, just document what you did, what happened, and how that differs from what you expected.” It works pretty well.

> If anyone has better data sources, or fairer interpretations of this data, please reply!

Same, it is so hard to get good data which also has good explanations of how it was acquired so you don't make the wrong conclusions from it.

I assume when the CDC says that they still believe the vaccine cons outweighs Covid's pros in that population that they had some good data-scientists run over much better data than what I'm finding on Google, but who knows, if the UK institutions conclude differently, is it they have worse or better data, why would they make a different conclusion?

I feel Covid has exposed a need for better data across the board, and thing like reproducible data analysis would be very useful here.
> (Now, is the Texas Legislature overreaching and setting itself as the moral arbiter of women’s bodies? That's another question.)

Right.

SCOTUS chose not to answer the question, even though it is the only institution that can speak to it authoritatively.

There's a different school of thought on negotiating tactics that says you definitely should be the first to offer a number, because it anchors the negotiations.

I can see both to be honest. Especially if you don't 'know what you're worth' in a given market, letting them make the first move at last has a chance that they won't offer you 50k for something hey are prepared to pay 250k for. Potentially they will start off with 150k and you're gonna be happy with it, because you undervalued yourself at 100k. Luckily you didn't say that but took the 150k offered!

If you know you're worth at least 150k, asking for 200k can anchor the negotiations in your direction as long as you don't overshoot what they were prepared to offer by too much (which might just kill the negotiations altogether). You might just walk away with 180k and you feel good because you got 30k more than you thought you might get and they feel good because they got you 'cheaper'.

I have no way of knowing which strategy actually works out better, as its hard to do a controlled experiment here :) Also you probably have incomplete market information and it might be hard to know how incomplete it is.
Bus companies cannot compete. Bus companies will simply claim a shortage and your child will be left at home if the route has no driver.

To get the contract you must be the lowest bidder. In order to do that you need to pay drivers as little as possible. Raising wages means losing money.
Conversely, many of us would appreciate a list of companies who have solid values and aren't afraid to take a stand against oppressive institutions like the Texas government. I'd never use GoDaddy for many reasons, but good on them for not caving to the "free speech at any cost" crowd.
+1 That's not a thing at my job but I have given up using docker to replace the native dev environment. The idea of having each dev environment isolated and therefore not polluting the host system seems appealing but impractical. Performance penalty is a big issue if you are not on a Linux desktop. Docker can be handy at times for things like bootstrapping an integration test environment but I prefer having a native dev environment where I can run commands for the projects, run unit tests locally and debug easily, all of which require extra hoops to jump through if done in Docker.
I honestly think you could run a cryptominer on it and wouldn't be any worse than all the other shitware MS bloats it with
That seems like a complicated and subtle argument.

The traditional market option should be kept on the table - all the official groups can make recommendations and then people can decide for themselves what and how many vaccines to get. Ideally paying for it themselves since a vaccine dose seems to cost around $20-50.

Trying to decide whether people should or shouldn't be forcing to get vaccinated is a bad policy. Most people already want to be vaccinated; just let them make their own choices and assume their own risk.
When I was in the middle of creating the software stack for my company, I would inevitably get stuck with big issues or trapped trying to architect something decent that would scale. I was working out of my house at the time.

I had an old car in the shed that needed a fair bit of mechanical work. Every time I got stuck or needed inspiration, I'd get up from my desk, put on some gloves and get working on the car. Or go for a bike ride.

It really, genuinely worked for me. I just needed to park some of those issues for a while and do something completely unrelated.

The fact that Amazon will fence stolen goods for a thief is absolutely part of the story. Used to be a whole criminal enterprise to be able to make money off of stolen goods. Now, anyone can start shoplifting and turn that into cash through FBA. If you can find someone selling something for cheaper, you can turn around and sell it online via Amazon FBA. Turns out, stealing is a great way to drive down costs (assuming no morals). There's absolutely a wider societal discussion to be had, but lowering the bar on how to make cash via shoplifting deserves some recognition as well.

No, ethically your only concern is the patient.

CRT is something taught in law school, not in elementary schools. You have an indoctrination problem in the US but it definitely does not come from CRT.

Are you as outraged about that as you are about a fringe law theory?
I'm not sure why you're saying that's antisocial, it was completely true then and it's still somewhat true now. GNOME, Ubuntu and XFCE all have their own subtle differences, if you want to have a good experience for any one of them you'll have to target that specific desktop and test for it. Placing the blame for this solely on GNOME doesn't make any sense, when each of those groups all have their own product that they're trying to promote.
I was told while in eastern Europe that, in Russia, you signal numbers by tucking fingers. Just the thumb tucked: one, thumb and forefinger: two, a fist: five.

It is all very arbitrary. The Quentin Tarentino scene was very unconvincing. Fassbinder's character was well travelled, and could have any number of reasons for having a different habit. I bet there were and are places in Germany that differ from the common form, and even that match the English convention; and places in England that match Germany's. (But probably not Russia's.)

Similarly, somebody who left their shoe at the scene of a firefight, if not stupid, would toss the other one immediately.
> everyone is looking into trendy redux replacements now

A lot of people are probably soured on redux forever (that's how these things tend to work) but they've done a really great job with their hooks based API and especially the redux toolkit/RTK Query. Getting started today using the toolkit is so much more straightforward and easier to understand that it feels like a totally new library. If you're still living in the old school redux world of trying to explain containers vs components, mapStateToProps, how to build reducers from scratch, how to organize ducks, etc., you really should take a look at the newer tooling.
I picked my words kind of carefully. "Clear all the cookies for the gov site". It'll solve the problem. Then the other guy misunderstood and thought it was a DevTools not Settings issue. Literally the problem does not require "clear one cookie" functionality.

That's not good faith interpretation. That's wholesale misinterpretation which is either incompetence or malice. If you want to play the whole "good faith" game, you actually need good faith.

You're all privacy groupies. You don't know anything about actual privacy. You're just an outrage squad. You know it. I know it. But you're performing for some absent audience that supposedly can't tell.

Critical race theory is a mythic story - the sort Yural Harari describes as a religion. It sits alongside replacement theory, humanism, environmentalism, crypto anarchism, liberalism, rand’s objectivism, and so on.

These stories are lenses through which you can describe the world. They’re like software for the mind. And like software, they aren’t objectively right or objectively wrong. Each of these stories (dubiously) explain and obsesses over some aspects of the world, and ignores other aspects completely.
Highly controversial opinion: around the time quality seemed to very noticeably take a nosedive (Win8?) was also roughly the time all the "diversity and inclusion", "anti-meritocracy" etc. stuff took off.

Someone in another comment here mentions Raymond Chen. He is from the "old Microsoft", and probably has significantly less power than he used to.
I've asked myself the same question many times.

I wonder if Jira inevitably becomes slower, overtime, as customers add configuration they deem necessary. Jira, having multiple options available, will happily accommodate it without considering optimization as a boundary. A vanilla instance of Jira, more than likely, outperforms any custom configuration a customer will eventually apply.

But that's just one theory.
We’ll see how it goes in the UK. Could be they’ll just decline over winter, I admit that’s certainly possible.

Regarding animal reservoirs, has there been a single confirmed or suspected case anywhere? Especially in a place that had transmission, like Wuhan, or Nova Scotia. Or with good contact tracing like South Korea. That’s certainly possible, but I don’t know it’s proven to be a certain problem. You’d expect lower animal transmission if it wasn’t rampant in humans too.
> how likely are you to get COVID-19 (I assume high) and how likely is myocarditis to be fatal (while I've seen 55% fatality over 4 years, who knows if that is accurate on these cases?).

There are complications in the analysis. "Get COVID-19" is not a single event. You can get it more than once. The risks won't necessarily be the same from each time.

Furthermore, SARS-CoV vaccination will be ongoing. People will regularly need booster shots to be protected from new variants, even for people who were sick before. (I say SARS-CoV likely because it perhaps won't even be called COVID-19 any more once it mutates sufficiently far from 19. Maybe there will be names like COVID-25, and COVID-29 or whatever.)

So, in other words, everyone faces multiple risky events going forward; it's a false dichotomy to be talking about the mythical one-time event of getting COVID-19 (and being done with it one way or another) versus some mythical one-time-and-forever vaccination and its risks.

Let's fast forward a decade in our imagination. How should a person act who had COVID three times, and had been fully vaccinated twice? Get another vaccine or not?
It's either an internally consistent UX or matching belt and shoes, depending on who you ask.
That's probably the case but then windows should just force webview2 to be its own package independent from Edge's main browser UI.

Or better yet, build the Edge browser so that it's actually an app using webview2 to help ensure that webview2 has a great API experience and is actually easy to use.
I've been using the eye dropper a lot lately. It's great for making websites usable. It even works on mobile for disabling hostile ux elements such as "xyz is better with the app" nags.
By auto-update I mean it opens a prompt asking you to update. If you choose not to update it eventually stops working because they change the protocol periodically.
The entire purpose for Section 230 existing is to allow sites to moderate their content. That’s why it was written.

Please stop repeating such falsehoods.

tl;dr; a monkey is given a hammer and is baffled by utility.

rofl. git is perfectly usable. proven by the hundreds of thousands of people using it daily. most of your 'complaints' here are not actually how git works in reality, and are just user error due to not bothering to learn the tool.

1. git never destroys your work inside a repository unless you told it to.

2. git doesn't 'whisk' things away implicitly. you committed them, that's pretty fucking explicit.

3. ummm every version control is stateful. wtf do you think any given version is? its fucking state. SVN has internal state, git, hg, fossil....

4. the commands, sure naming is fucking HARD we know this. we also know git gained different features over time to accommodate different workflows. perfect? absolutely not but a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Delay is a strong word here. The question is until when? It's like a time bomb. Apple is giving us mixed feelings here starting by the privacy features, giving option for app not to track us, then this.

Damn I'm still confused why person like Tim who has earned everyone's respect for privacy is doing this kind of thing. It's hard to move from apple honestly at this point and it's annoying

What about people who build tons of successful things and get win after win after win, but are still feeling burned out?

For me, a "win" would be accomplishing something and then getting to bask in the success and take a fucking break and do nothing for a year. Shoot, even being able to take a break for a month after busting my butt on a project for a year would be nice. But nope. You never really "finish" anything in software development. You just have an endless backlog of tickets in JIRA. If you get something done faster, you don't get any reward or payoff for doing so.

I once finished my entire week's worth of planned work in two days and instead of being praised for it, I was chided for underestimating my sprint capacity. Did I get to take the rest of the week off? No! Of course not. I was expected to pull more tickets from the top of the backlog and just keep grinding.
> everyone is looking into trendy redux replacements now

What's wrong with redux? I've been using it in my last 2 companies, it scales amazingly and I think that's one of the stack in react that I'm comfortable with
Recently I changed jobs and moved from being a front end dev to a backend dev role. Less framework chasing, more architectural concerns / long term planning, slower pace of development / expectations from stake holders and double the pay.
For reference: I used to do backend dev but I did FE exclusively since 2016.
> What I’ve learnt through experience is that the number of languages I’ve learned or the specific frameworks I’ve gained experience with matters very little. What actually matters is my ability to up-skill quickly and effectively. My success so far has nothing to do with the fact I know React instead of Vue, or have experience with AWS and not Azure. What has contributed to my success is the willingness to learn new tools as the need arises.

What's not fine is having poured resources into a framework over the course of a few years, only for that framework to first cease to be necessary, and eventually become a barely-supported ball-and-chain.

This applies to almost everything released prior to HTML5. The problem is that re-writing isn't always an option, but the old stuff permeates almost every source file and is extremely expensive to decouple.

I suspect this will sooner or later apply to everything released immediately after HTML5. Eventually, everything used today will face the same fate.

There's something to be said for rejecting frameworks that aggressively inject themselves into code bases and which can't easily be extracted.
Good that they are addressing risk/benefits.

Offhand I see no breakout for what extra-risk groups the hospital deaths with Covid might have involved. If these were confined to specific subpopulations, the risk benefit analysis for those not in such a subpopulation, could differ.
I agree. We're in the Misinformation Era, which is precisely why even the "official" sources are not to be trusted.
