I don't understand "natural immunity" as a reason. I think I don't know what it actually means.

As far as I know, natural immunity is conferred if and only if you've recovered from the virus. And one of the goals of the vaccine is to avoid getting it in the first place. But to get natural immunity, you have to be infected first. It seems a bit like burning down your house to prevent arson from a stranger. Have I misunderstood "natural immunity"?
> Quite the understatement here.

I just think its plain wrong. See, Cuba.

Leninism and its descendants are specifically adapted from Marxism for pre-capitalist states, and have only ever worked in such places, which Ireland at the time was not, despite being less well developed than, say, England.
It would be amazing to replace the battery and get an upgraded Cumpute Element every few years while reusing the same basic hardware.

CPUs tend to get tied +/- 1 or 2 chipset generations, but given that this uses a PCIe interface, it may actually be plausible.
As long as the dishes come out clean, then fine. If the way the dishes were loaded prevented some items from getting clean, then we have a problem.
In that case I feel like there's probably so many differences it'd be hard to pin it on exactly one thing.
I did, but I'm responding to the title, which is the soundbite most folks will digest.
Just looking at it with your eyes you can't. But there are statistical analysis techniques used to find bias in random numbers, patterns in random numbers generated using the same RNG and this is often used to demonstrate that some technique or generator is broken and cryptographically insecure. If a 128 bit number doesn't provide 128 bits of security then something in the generation of that number is broken.

There are other comments in this thread that get into some nitty gritty details of this that I don't pretend to be an expert on.

Please no. There's enough mucking with information already.
The power of naïve optimism – jonnyburch.com
I see the prevalence of antivaxxers from two angles: the failure of public education and the reasonableness of medical skepticism. Understanding the differences between efficacy and effectiveness, infection and transmission, and cases and infections requires solid understanding of biological and statistical concepts that are not even covered in most high school biology and maths courses. And I haven’t even mentioned the basics of the immune system, germ theory, or the difference between a bacterium and a virus, or RNA and DNA. Most anti vaxxers seize upon the half truths cited here because they don’t even have half comprehension of the terms in use. Don’t blame them; blame your local school. Second, skepticism of institutional medical claims is perfectly reasonable. The Faucis of the world are the same types who told you that OxyContin is not addictive, that your child needs Ritalin, that your hysterical wife needs a lobotomy, that your unborn child needs thalidomide, and that it’s totally reasonable to purposefully infect African Americans with syphilis. The Faucis are ultimately responsible for this outbreak as it was their job to stop it in the first place; the Faucis of the world love mask mandates and lockdowns because it flips the narrative of responsibility from them (Fauci has had his job for almost 40 years; Trump was an intern by comparison) to us: cases are rising not because every epidemiologist knew they would rise but because YOU failed to wear a mask and had the audacity to go to your mother’s funeral in person. The vaccines are free, highly effective against serious disease of all variants, and universally available. Why are we saying anything but that, and why are any more restrictions needed given those facts?
I know quite a few people who got J&J due to their hesitancy about Pfizer and Moderna. It's anecdotal, I know, but so are all of my personal experiences :) .
I love this mindset by Jonny Burch: "On the upside, a company of that size and reputation would make an incredible partner for us as we grow, especially if the problems we’re solving are adjacent, not the same." -- most times, people and companies could open up opportunities where it's not a zero-sum game. This is true at work - in a big company, where multiple departments might develop the same infra just to find out the use cases are not identical - and in business.
But that is not the rate at which they will lend the money to ByteDance, at all. Still has a significant risk involved.
Started playing shareware games in late elementary school/highschool (win 2k/95/98 era). Kazaa and ilk were fun, though I had to debug a couple viruses with windows/AOL support since my grandparents weren't very technical.

That eventually led to HTML multiplayer browser games (ogame and similar were popular in high school.) Once I figured out what F12 and greasemonkey could do, I had a lot of fun making shortcuts, auto-assignments, etc. I didn't love Flash games nearly as much because I didn't know how to interact with them. I had a couple geocities sites around this time, but had no idea what a backend or database was despite really wanting a visitor counter.

Bachelors in college taught me mostly backend stuff. That led to a lot of data scraping for various things, some of which went further than others. The most intense scraping was for a major collectible site that eventually CSS-sprited all of their text; cracking that was fun. This particular project was for a hobby of mine so my friends and network could get some price advantage on large moves by the major vendors; I was in/just out of college around this time, so the money part was important to me at the time. This data passion later shifted into personal financial tooling after college for my own unmet needs around investment.

I skipped the masters+ stuff and was happy to go right into industry. Work went from internship->job in backend (java) to ops (db admin of a mongo cluster on misc unix machines) to my current fullstack python/javascript set of roles. I mostly skipped FAANG stuff since I didn't want to stop hacking on my personal projects, but many of my college friends have had great success in those companies.

Now: Recently switched out of one of the large tier2 micromobility operators into a different vertical. Getting back into "hacker" mode after a multi-year hiatus for personal stuff.

Love: doing things, impact, perf problems, interviewing, stitching together data sources (Quandl/crypto, collectibles, games, economy data), etc. Advising an investor on whether they should care about this new "blockchain" thing for their financial services startup was pretty fun too. I love being able to spin up small MVPs quickly with tools like React and Mongo.
Yes, half of those being under the label of "anti-vaccine". Anti vaxxers don't generally sign forms saying they're anti vaxxers.
It’s a numbers game. Billions of people won’t care, but a few dozen can make enough of a stink that a habitually risk averse institution would rather let someone be canceled than risk the controversy snowballing into something bigger.

I appreciate studies like this, but they end getting misused as ammunition by the anti-EV crowd. Even if EVs actually did represent a negative short-term impact, we should still push forward with the transition since we know the end result is absolutely worth it. Getting all cars converted to electric is the hard part; modernizing the electric grid to be cleaner is comparatively easier.

It definitely reduces infection risk and transmission risk substantially, even against Delta, and still mostly eliminates hospitalization (which puts health care workers and people who need urgent medical care at risk) and death.

You mean the two weeks that not many followed because of propaganda like this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAh4uS4f78o

Recipient of the highest civilian honor in the US with 15 million highly engaged listeners told them covid was just a cold hyped up to hurt the then POTUS politically.

Wuhan did slow the spread very very much with a few weeks of shutdown btw.
Your odds are lowest if you avoid both the vaccine and the virus.
Are there actually concrete risks to children, or is this a political pressure thing (if the vaccine hurts children, then it will blow up badly in the FDA's faces if they approve it, so they're being hesitant)?

That is, are the "risks" real scientifically-documented complications (either from a clinical trial, or from solid arguments about mRNA vaccines and children), or are the "risks" just unknown-unknowns and a lack of sufficient data?

I don't trust the FDA. I believe they're subject to a bunch of nonsense political pressures. I believe they employ a bunch of good people trying to do the best job they can within a US federal bureaucracy and all the confines of that (including the inability to compete on salary with the private sector for skilled/experienced candidates). I have no reason to believe they're more competent than, oh, the DoD. So my distrust of the FDA doesn't extend to believing that they approve the vaccine, it's because they really want to implant microchips in us, but it absolutely extends to believing that if they don't approve the vaccine, it may well be for reasons entirely unrelated to its scientific merit.
I'm convinced that the anti-vax movement in the US is fueled by foreign operatives. Initially I thought it was just organic hysteria. But then the "vaccine is 98% graphene" meme came out. If you look at a 2% graphene solution, it's dark grey, and yet the vaccines are transparent, so they are obviously not 98% graphene.

I decided to deep dive into some "sources" of the graphene story, and they are inevitably all on fly-by-night "conservative" blogs, with videos that look suspiciously similar to RT produced content. Grammatical errors everywhere. It is clear that these stories are not just a misunderstanding, but an intentional lie.

My theory is that Russia and China, and perhaps even local political party operatives, are involved in spreading these lies. For Russia, the goal is to divide and weaken the country, payback for the US propaganda campaigns that took down the Soviet Union. For local political parties, the goal is to corral their base for short term gain.
Web3 involves decentralized:

1. consensus networks,
2. data storage networks,
3. messaging networks.

(1) includes Ethereum and other blockchain and distributed ledger tech.

(2) includes IPFS, FileCoin, GUN, etc.

If you're storing data on the blockchain apart from the bits needed in relation to consensus ops, you're probably doing it wrong.

(3) includes Waku (Status), Matrix ... depends a bit on whether you think this category should only include p2p networks or federated networks of servers qualify.

There are many other projects that could be listed for those categories, those are just off the top of my head.
> should misinformation like this be protected by free speech laws as well? Or can we carve out a narrow exception for just blatantly lying and writing fake news, like we already do in libel laws and in cases of phishing and fraud?

Who do you trust to act as the arbiter of truth?

I could maybe get on board if it was required to prove that the accused was spreading information that they personally knew was not true, and that there was actual harm done, but even then I have little faith that such a law would not be abused in some way.

There is no way I would be on board with making it illegal to spread certain information simply because some entity decided to label it “misinformation”. We’ve already seen that things can very quickly change from “misinformation” to plausible theory worthy of serious consideration, e.g. the COVID lab leak theory.
Register your own domain and use that for email. Then you can move that domain's email service to different providers.

I use Gmail right now, but I could move my domain's email to Fastmail or another provider without _too_ much work.

Of course, it's also a good idea to back up your email archives too, since that _can_ go away with the loss of a provider's service.

They didn't shut the door on anyone.

Things progress in many ways, and that is really important. Diversity of ideas and implementations of ideas spark real advances in unpredictable ways. What matters is that new things are being imagined, built and experience with them is being gained.
> Forget the fact that the vast majority of the web's users don't care about decentralization vs. centralization even a single bit. People will continue to mindlessly use WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Coinbase because decentralization is not a concern for _most_ users.

I think you're doing a real disservice by characterizing this as “mindless”. For most people, decentralization is an anti-feature — it adds cost, risk, and performance issues while usually making the UX worse. The web has become more centralized over time because that allows people to build more compelling services, and much as that is disappointing from the perspective of the dreams many of us had in the 90s it's hard to argue that, say, a primary driver of the re-centralization of email wasn't the difficulty of controlling spam in a decentralized system.

This intersects well with the blockchain advocacy: this post mentions a lot of terms which the VCs like to hear but there's a conspicuous absence of anything which normal users care about. There can be an argument for robustness in the case of an outage for a shared service but that's very far from a given and could only be measured by comparing specific examples since no two systems have the same failure mode.
Yes. I think people need to understand that anything on the internet is by default, there forever. Post something privately or behind a password if you don't want everyone seeing it.

I'm not quite sure that's the best equivalence. The political status quo (generally accepted by the populace) before the Russian Revolution was also extremely religiously conservative and nationalist.
The proteins generated by the mRNA vaccines are shown to spread throughout the body, compared to the virus, which is mostly respitory and vascular.
> politicians say they were going to ban teaching CRT, then teachers say that CRT was a conspiracy theory

So a partisan hysterical mob scream about banning the teaching of something that isnt being taught.

Due to partisan hysterical screaming and freedom of speech violating bans, people start talking about it, and say well lets go ahead and teach it.

Let me go waayyy out on a limb here - would you like to ban the teaching of evolution in schools and replace it with creationism by any chance?

Teaching science really would be intentionally trying to go behind parents back and brainwashing their children.
The most they will do with a train is hit it against another and i bet the speed is capped anyhow to make turns within the system. Much more effective to load a van with bombs and leave it someplace. A plane is a cruise missile in comparison and can destroy anything you point it at.

It's true, and especially HTTP/1.1 has a whole 25 years worth of browsers which are still usable today!

I think as the nostalgia/retro factor kicks in, it will become cool again to support "Any Browser".

A few common questions about this are:

Security exploits: Yes, you do have to do this on a safe network, but at least over where I am, the Internet is safe enough for me to visit un-malicious websites, perhaps using a VM.

The difficulty of it: It's moderately difficult, but quite doable, with certain constraints combined with progressive enhancement.

(HTTP/1.0 browsers are slightly more difficult to support, because you need a dedicated IP address, as there is no Host: header yet. Netscape 1.x, IE 1.x and 2.x, Mosaic are quite usable if you can get this set up.)
"Work exceptionally long hours when you need to or want to, but do so consciously, for specified time periods, and to achieve specific goals. Don’t let it become a habit because you have forgotten how to work or live any other way." -- Having constraints on your time should help you better prioritize and utilize your energy levels during the day to boost your productivity.
Well, if people start regularly living to be 300 (or more) years old, we'll have to figure out a way to offload them to another planet anyway, climate change or not.
That's my main use and sometimes feel bad about it, since I just want to see the content and not archive some mediocre article for “posterity”.
Here's his quote on instagram archiving problems:

"There is no Instagram content which don’t need to login.

If you can access the page without login, it is sort of “promo preview“, after few pages accessed this way, they add your IP into “promo is over“ list and will redirect to /login on every future request.

I just have not enough fresh IPs to abuse this mechanism."

I would say good timing versus luck. They didn't just happen upon it staring through a telescope at the right time...their research was setup to find objects similar to a comet but slightly further away from the sun than where they found it.
For some context, PurpleAir also uses Plantower dust sensors. As an alternative, there's also the Honeywell HPMA sensors (used in Awair).
Most of the DIY solutions I’ve seen use pre-packaged PM sensors, which are probably the same parts embedded in over the counter solutions.
Sure; I would describe the technical requirement for something to be "web3" as:

• data storage and/or backend computation taking place in/on a decentralized / distributed-locus-of-control system,

• where these systems are exposed directly to browsers via regular-web HTTP gateways,

• and where there are well-defined general APIs (these being the "web3" APIs) such that these gateways are interchangeable in the access they provide;

• where a web app can choose to have a relationship (e.g. a paying customer relationship) with their own gateway provider, rather than having one forced upon them;

• and where the user-agent can further enable the user to have their own relationship with different gateway provider, overriding the website's choice of gateway, in a way invisible to the web app. (Just like how UA stylesheets override site stylesheets, in ways invisible to the web app.)

The gateways are a necessary part of the definition, because HTTP is fundamentally a protocol for talking to specific servers, so Web -three, then, is 90% about the particular way in which we hitch decentralized stuff up to that centralized model.

The fact that the website and the user get choice in their gateway, is what makes this a decentralized system, rather than being something like X.509 that's nominally decentralized (anyone can be their own CA root authority for their own DAG-of-trust) but where in practice there's only one public DAG-of-trust forced on everyone by a consortium of browser and OS manufacturers.
Sorry, when I said "the American continent" I meant, like, the entire continent, where a billion people live and night time is all at the same time (so no solar). You're saying the solution is just batteries? Why did you mention power cables on the ocean floor?
Unvaccinated staff get sick and die, and staff members of all sorts of vaccination status can get sick and miss work, and also transmit the disease to at risk loved ones.
> Can't you say that any single (shortish) number is random? How you can demonstrate 99999999999999999999 isn't random?

You can not. Randomness is a property of the procedure used to generate it, not the number.
Ethereum is, what, 6 years old. Metamask has been in development for 5 years. Bitcoin is 12 years old.

Bitcoin is older than React.js. Ethereum has been around for as long as TikTok. Uber was founded in the same year as Bitcoin and has essentially destroyed a worldwide industry.

At some point these things aren't young or early, they're just stupid.
> You don't need a reason, it's your body.

The reason is to help protect and care for your fellow human beings.

"It's your body" only counts if what you're doing with it isn't putting unconsenting others at risk. Forgoing the vaccine without a solid medical reason is putting others at risk.

By your logic, you should be able to punch anyone in the face at any time, because your fist is part of your body, and "it's your body".

Hence my use of the phrase, "former employer". I'm simply observing a pattern at your former employer, whose co-founder remained there through June of this year; a pattern which makes it hard for me to believe that it was acting in good faith during your time there.
You should interpret it in the context of other countries.

What sensor are you using? Just curious.
I heard a rumor that the 13 Mini is already going to be the last Mini. I have no need to upgrade, the 12 Mini is perfect. But I'm going to buy the 13 Mini just so that I have one more year before I have to give up that form factor.
it would be helpful if you replied honestly and kindly instead of dismissive and rude.

but being anti-vax is a much more broader definition than fundamentally disagrees vaccines are useful or effective.

being anti-vax means I'm against this vaccine The particular reason somebody uses to justify their arguments isn't relevant to the fact that they are arguing against a vaccine. they are not pro vaccine they are anti-vaccine.

maybe you should educate yourself on the use of language?

and my apologies for that last part it was intentionally rude to demonstrate how dismissive you appear to be.
Some of them did just that. (I've said this a few times -- not sure if it's considered spam to keep posting the same thing on different threads. Sorry if that's the case!)
You still hadn't mentioned any relevant number.
> There is an interesting conundrum here, when we post to the internet do we also consent to having that information saved for all eternity?

I'm not sure about consent, but presume it will be 'stuck' and un-removeable from the net once it's out there. (So be careful what you disseminate). Some people even go out of their way to make sure certain content will never be forgotten from the web.
