>the bank can make $9m worth of loans provided that the recipients of the loans never get them of the bank

The bank can make $9m worth of loans (actually the bank can make any amount of loans, maybe even more), and some proportion of that may be transferred to other banks as reserves, and some other reserves will be transferred onto the banks balance sheet from unrelated transactions the bank makes. Then at the end of the day if the bank needs more reserves, it borrows them. The likely amount the bank needs to borrow based on the loans it makes and the cost of that reserve borrowing determines how many loans it will make. If it wouldn’t be profitable to make more, it’ll stop.

At no point does the bank only make 900k of loans so that it is fully covered in case all its loans are transferred out. The whole thesis of the paper is that that way of thinking is backwards.

My understanding is that the delta variant originated in India. I’m not convinced that achieving a 100% vaccination rate in the US would accomplish anything.
The reason the heart inflammation think didn't show up is because of how rare it is, not the amount of time passed. If the issue you are talking about is that rare, than my argument still stands.

As to something appearing years later, that seems extremely rare and could happen without getting the vaccine, just being exposed again to the virus. Oh, and neither of us are the people that should be evaluating that because we aren't medical researchers who have closely studied the incidents of vaccines causing reactions years later. I will trust the people who have extensively studied the problem.

With JIRA and Confluence, there is never just one JIRA or Confluence. It really comes down to the configuration. And there are hundreds, if not thousands, of different configuration options that could be built into your particular implementation which may make it sing, or make it like a bad CAFO.

I’ve been part of a team doing JIRA and Confluence configuration. We saw on,y the tiniest bit about the configuration process required to make it work, and we slammed that hood right back down and decided we were never going to look under there again. Well, not ourselves. But we did hire a JIRA and Confluence expert to come in and help us make it as optimized as we could get.

I’ve also been a customer of bad JIRA and Confluence configurations. And when they’re bad, they can be really bad. But, as a customer, you don’t have any control over those system configuration options.

It’s like saying that a hammer is bad. Well, which hammer did you use? There are dozens or hundreds of different types of hammers out there. How did you use this hammer? What did you use this hammer on? Where did you use this hammer? Were you trained in how to use it properly? Did you actually use it properly, or were you using it in a way that was not consistent with its design?

There is no one JIRA or Confluence.

NextDNS (the resolver) is not equivalent to using an app (a client) like TrackerControl.

NextDNS (the resolver) cannot prevent apps from doing their own DNS, or prevent apps from connecting to preset IPs. Only if the queries reach the resolver can NextDNS act upon it / track it / block it.

Also, apps like TrackerControl can do per-app blocking, just like LittleSnitch / LuLu and Glasswire do on macOS and Windows respectively.

For some background on what apps like TrackerControl could potentially protect against, see: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/301#issuecomme...

Disclosure: I co-develop a FOSS app similar to TrackerControl and a FOSS alternative to NextDNS.

- There are 30 million Raspberry pi's sold worldwide and at least a quarter of a million Arduino boards, even more so if you add the clones and knock offs. There is a world of non-professional 'consumer grade' makers and hobbyist that would love to have a more diverse offering in consumer electronics.

instead CES just feels more and more like the Auto trade shows where cars keep converging to more and more homogenous things and designers risk less and less, at some point you are just changing branding and not much else because all the components come from the same handful of suppliers.

Proton therapy is another relatively recent development (recent as in "becoming more widely available"). Unlike photons (gamma/x-ray), protons are charged particles, so they follow a Bragg curve - releasing most of their energy in a narrow range before being fully stopped by the material. This can give very accurate control over where dose is delivered, and also leads to the somewhat paradoxical-seeming situation that the tissue "in front" of the cancer actually receives less dose than the cancer covered by it.

The headline of that CDC article is misleading: the actual study compares the protection given by being previously infected with that given by being previously infected and then also vaccinated. There's no comparison against people who're relying only on vaccination to protect them. This is also a pretty weak justification, since if I remember rightly there's a comparable improvement by using one of the more effective vaccines rather than one of the less effective ones or possibly by increasing the number of shots required for a complete course of vaccination - but there's a huge taboo about noticing the difference in effectiveness between vaccines. (Also, I think this mandate kind of incentivises people to get the least effective of the US-approved vaccines, since it's a single shot and that makes it quicker and easier to meet the requirement.)

Even more sharply, should the willfully unvaccinated take priority over lower priority but less life threatening diseases? If someone has the flu, and it looks like they'll make it, but the doctor wants them in the hospital just in case, should they get the bed over the unvaccinated person who is going to die without it?
Monads are a unification of a bunch of computer stuff, including sequencing, IO, non-determinism, state, concurrency and exceptions. When I say "unification", I mean it in the sense that Newton's theory of gravity unified the motion of the planets with a falling apple (previously they were considered separate phenomena), or how Maxwell's equations unified electricity and magnetism. Once you grok monads you realise that all those different things I listed are just special cases of one overarching theory.
> Why must I be vaccinated if the vaccine doesn't prevent spread? (...) I am comfortable catching the disease and even comfortable dying from it

Became it's not about you, it's about everyone around you as a group. Those who are "comfortable catching the disease" are taking up a non-insignificant portion of available hospital beds, for instance, keeping health workers at their limit and preventing other people from getting treatment for diseases for which there is no accessible, free vaccine to take.

Organizations are expected to do what's best for the majority of those they represent. Sure, some people may not want to wear a helmet all day and would be willing to take the risk. But if one of those people gets impaled and dies it ends up putting a burden in everyone around them, from those picking up the skull pieces and the person's family to the investors.

I can buy that. Running is my big thing (also HEMA), which surprised many not least myself when I realised I _liked_ it a few years ago![†]. It helps me keep healthy in body, it helps me burn off nervous energy, sometimes it is social[‡], sometimes it helps me get away[*].

[†] after losing some weight I tried various gym things to get what was left into better shape, we have heart problems in the family line and I wanted to reduce my chance of “being next”, fell into a pattern of dynamic movements to warm up, row a bit, move some weights around, then treadmill to finish, and a friend (who also runs) encouraged me to try running off the mill.

This is why people say "a monad is a monoid in the Category of endofunctors" as a joke whenever anyone posts an unnecessarily complicated explanation. This is the biggest and most visible flashpoint between people who don't understand, and the people who don't understand why they don't understand and think that defining things in terms of other things that you also don't understand is a viable strategy.
Obesity is not that contagious.
> but more protection is always better than less

It isn't, immune systems are quite complicated:

"White House immunologist Dr Anthony Fauci offered the warning while giving an update on efforts to develop vaccines at an online US Senate hearing on Tuesday. He said: ‘I must warn that there’s also the possibility of negative consequences, where certain vaccines can actually enhance the negative effect of the infection.’ Dr Fauci later explained that in rare cases people vaccinated against a condition could end up contracting the virus they thought they’d been protected against, and falling more seriously-ill with that disease as a result" [0]

Why doesn't apple allow 2 profiles (work and personal) on iphones yet? I have personal and work PCs/laptops, and that's fine because I use those devices for hours at a time. I also have a personal and work iphone and I HATE it. It's inconvenient, I'm constantly changing where headphones are connected, gave up using airpods (not fun to unpair and pair when your devices use different apple IDs) and gave using Apple watch for notifications (can only connect it to one phone). I would be OK allowing my employer to restrict, wipe or whatever a work profile on my personal phone.

> absence of symptoms is not a sufficient indicator for a vaccinated person

Absence of symptoms is not a sufficient indicator for the unvaxed either, so your argument falls apart.

Why isn't 90% reduction in ICU occupation and 70% reduction in chance of infection a sufficient argument for the public benefits? Just because it is not perfect, you'd rather let the country's hospitals overload and shut down?
Well presumably there was more social distancing and distance learning in the previous year, for obvious reasons.

> If the vaccines cannot prevent infection and return us to normalcy, what then, is the point of returning to campus at all?

Fundamentally wrong, borderline insane, conculsion. Now the virus has become entirely endemic, and antibodies are widely spread in the population it should be treated just as previous sars, flu or rhino viruses. I.e. we ignore them in day to day life.
To be fair if you look at conventional weapons against ships most of them manage to lift ships out of the water (or just break them in half).

I think it was that "Not what you think" Youtube channel, saying that today weapon systems are powerful enough that there is no amount of armor that you can put on a ship that would protect it on a direct hit (so ships are actually becoming less armored and more agile to prevent being hit).

I agree, it doesn't matter much. Just like frameworks and programming languages, they may be considered boring and aren't being hyped up, but the stable options are the safest. Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, OpenSuse and Fedora are go tos. When starting out you want information that is easy to find, I can personally attest that you will easily find information with those distros.

The bigger the distro, the more official support there is as well, instead of relying on community versions. Ubuntu and Fedora get a lot of dev love.

If you are willing to read up a bit more and re-install a few times, Arch Linux is another distro with a lot of community information online. But honestly for work, I would stick to old reliable Ubuntu.
That is the hard truth of any cross platform toolkit.

Which is why I always advocate for mobile Web (plenty of CRUD apps are doable as such), native views + C++, native + server driven UI/business logic.

Mobile SDKs are already complex on their own, adding an additional development stack on top just makes everything worse, and when things go wrong one needs to be skillful enough to dig deep down anyway.

If those JNI bindings are a pain to write, having to debug the additional layers that React Native, Xamarin, Flutter, whatever put on top isn't much fun either.
Why ignore the GPs argument? Israel has vaccinated 61% of their population. Of course the 39% who aren't vaccinated will continue to spread it like before, even more so if restrictions are lifted.

> there are 2 types of engineers

False dichotomy. "Problems" are difficult to put in meaningful frames, and the engineering value is proportional to how "meaningful" the problem definitions are.

Users experience things they identify as problems, but can't possibly articulate in meaningful frames.

Users only experience symptoms, whereas engineers are responsible for systems. The shortest path to treating the symptoms is almost never a good solution, for either the user experience or the system.

In so far as there are different types of engineers, it might be possible to segment them based on their accountability. Some are accountable only to user demands, some are accountable for long term system stability, and so on. They are not "born" with different mentalities.
Why should we consider it? Billions of people have been vaccinated without a vaccine-caused epidemic.

We do however have a virus-caused epidemic, currently.
May I ask why former?

Defining better abstractions is part of the process that got us so far. Even in ML, we are starting to define some very good abstractions for Neural Networks through the perspective of symmetries and geometry.
It's certainly possible to express some of these ideas in other languages, but implementations are nowhere near as ubiquitous or idiomatic as in Haskell, where they pervade the standard library and most people's code. And I'd argue that's because the ergonomics of the solutions in other languages don't come close to those of Haskell's. Furthermore, there appear to be limits to how far you can take them.

For example, Java lacks higher-kinding which is needed to define a monad abstractly. This can be got cheated around using ideas from this paper (0), but it costs a cast which the compiler cannot prove safe. This is the basis for things like the arrow library in Kotlin, which while impressive, doesn't compare to the ergonomics of Haskell and still misses a bunch of standard abstractions such as Traversable, which are part of the mentioned infrastructure that makes monads (1) so useful to Haskellers.

Then you could just as well say that it can make $9m in loans, $99m in loans or $999m in loans as long as enough reserves are transferred onto the banks balance sheet from unrelated transactions the bank makes (including borrowing if required).

The amount of reserves can (and will) go up and down for an individual bank as it operates depending on their strategy.

10x the initial reserves has no particular meaning for an individual bank, only for the whole system (and the whole thesis of the paper is that even then the 10x number doesn't really matter).

> Gosh, disturbing comment section for disturbing times. When experimental medical treatments become mandatory for illnesses that have a 99%+ survival rate, and there is absolutely NO LONG TERM safety data, some red flags should be raised.

The current case fatality rate is averaging around 2%, but that's with access to medical care.

The CFR at the early stages of the pandemic, and in countries without good medical systems, is much higher. See Italy during the first wave, which peaked at around 15%, or several Central and South American countries, which have averaged between 5% and 10%.
