Waiting to see the long term effects of a mRNA vaccine?

Natural immunity as I mentioned before.

Religious reasons.

Just because. You don't need a reason, it's your body.
People also depend on not experiencing frequent, severe hurricanes though.
I flew out of LAX last month and they had us keep our shoes on.
The court system has come a long way since then, and does not usually enforce religious doctrine. If the next Copernicus or Galileo among the people writing fake news e.g. [1], [2], [3] presents evidence for their assertions being plausible, and the prosecution fails to prove their assertion was impossible then I doubt a judge would against them.

That's why I said narrowly written, to get the worst, repetitive and most obvious examples to stop, not cast a wide net. E.g. [3]

It's much easier to criticize than to build an alternative. I don't think anyone at Metamask or in the space in general thinks to themselves that the ecosystem is in a state of full maturity or that there aren't major problems. Despite its shortcomings, MM and Web3 have given us capabilities that simply didn't exist five years ago. And those capabilities aren't just limited to a select number of shadowy super hackers. MM has millions of MAU and that number will only grow as more people see the potential of the tech.
It was FUD spread by people opposed to the vaccine because they did not approve of anything which could make sex safer. A large number of studies were performed on the topic as a result and it turned out to not be a thing.
The official CDC estimate is 100 million plus, based one estimated unreported cases and serology testing.
what about them? Just that they exist?
IBM designs their own POWER processors, they also bought RedHat and can manufacture entire systems.

I know this is not a popular view, but IBM is the only vendor other than Apple that can build an entire machine from the processor to the operating system. It could be interesting if their systems were cheaper so that x86 had some competition.
The mRNA vaccines have been out for about a year or so. What evidence is there to indicate that it is safe even in the medium term (>2yrs) let alone long term?
Is automate the same as IFTTT and Zapier?
There are many such firms (I think). Is there a benefit to buying a particular one?
I am sure they are hard to build, but could Notion just build one?

Any insight into why this particular company?
I never got into the more technical aspects of playing, such as tracking specific Pokemon move stats and CP levels, but I always found the game fun. There's probably a layer of nostalgia that helps with this - the games aren't all that groundbreaking technically or graphically, and the anime is cringy to try and watch as an adult - but I will always buy the latest Pokemon game and give it a shot.

Recently I bought a Joey Jr rom dumper [1] and I was able to dump my original Pokemon Blue save file and rom so now I can play my og game on an emulator.

One aspect the article didn't touch on was the hacking/glitching community. In general I avoid the random global trades because most 'mon coming out are these hacked shiny legendaries who are nicknamed after pokemon hacking websites. While I don't want them now, I do look back and remember on my old Blue version doing item glitching techniques, missingno item duplication, glitches to get mew. While the game is cooperative, there has also always been a subset of the players who love hacking their way to better pokemon and exploring beyond the bounds of the game.

Ask HN: How do you keep track of your routines and habits?
> People in the US are no longer allowed to question the legitimacy of their elections on most social media platforms.

Sounds almost reasonable, except:

Putting a question mark after misinformation and conspiracy theories doesn't magically transform them into reasonable questions.

And pluralizing the word "elections", doesn't fool us into thinking this is about more than the 2020 presidential, and Donald Trump's lie that it was stolen.

It has been thoroughly litigated and found to be legitimate by both public and private entities. Anyone continuing to "question" it most likely has an agenda of undermining that legitimacy.

I agree -- aside from passenger airplane manufacturing I can't imagine a more difficult industry to just jump into without really good reason.

If they want to make an "Apple" car with some bells and whistles on it, why not take an existing vehicle and enhance it. See what happens with that at least. I'm thinking like Shelby did with Mustangs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_Mustang

> Those reparations figures are wildly overestimated

I feel like I'm understating them. I'm getting my overview of the amounts from this paper[0], but in principle, even getting paid a part of the costs of a war is a very good deal, because that money usually goes entirely to your own economy (since they are supplying your military), you get essentially free training for your military, you get prestige, and you get the actual war aims (in this case, control over Korea, which is in itself lucrative).

If you consider another colonial war, the second opium war, the chinese government indemnity in this case didn't cover the costs of the expedition (iirc). However, it's still a really great deal, because you get access to the chinese market, which is worth a ton, and the state finances themselves aren't negatively impacted because the indemnity is enough to cover costs.

I think it's probably true that by the time Germany reunified, empires weren't always that worthwhile.

I don't totally disagree with your culture idea. I just think there's nothing worse for a nation's political culture than being colonized, and it's also terrible for the economy, so it's unsurprising that almost every first world nation was either never colonized, or if it was, is currently ruled by a seceeding group of the colonizers themselves (e.g. the USA).

I feel that way about naming the company "Science" too. Like why would you do that?
archive.is is my browser to text-heavy websites like blogs, news, twitter, and documentation (outline.com is another one, reader mode, yet another). It completely debloats a webpage as it archives (unlike web.archive.org, say). Suits my purposes just fine. I must note though, archive.is (from what I recall), forwards IP address of whoever initiated an archive process to the origin.

archive.is was also a great mirror to instagram and linkedin for public profiles, but it doesn't archive instagram anymore.

Wow, I got to hand it to you! 'communist-aligned socio-economic elites' is the most creative code for 'the Jews' I have heard in quite a while.

Oh, and you confused 'ironic' and 'coincidence' but I guess that hardly matters.

Many big financing rounds include debt. When you see that someone raised $500M, perhaps $100M is debt. It levers the equity investment providing an enhanced return, while reducing dilution for existing shareholders.

In retrospect, the brief Irish flirtation with the Soviet Union seems both inevitable and doomed. A small state trying to establish itself must look for potential allies wherever it can; but the overwhelmingly Roman Catholic nationalist Ireland and the forcibly atheist internationalist USSR were not lasting partners.

Quite the understatement here.

.. Because major browsers will need to integrate it and they haven't. You can build things yourself more easily than you can convince say chrome to build something (which is the whole point of extensions, really). What you seem to be asking is just metamask to be integrated directly into chrome, which is a nice ask but not done to the right people (ask google/firefox) and its lack does not turn web3 into a 'Stupid Idea'.

There's a lot of extension functionality I'd like straight in the browser itself but it's not the extension's fault that browser devs haven't included it.

You can't get a job in Silicon Valley as a software engineer if you're a California-native U.S. M.S. with 10 years' relevant experience and a fantastic open-source portfolio.

I wasn't aware of that, as I've only ever heard it mentioned in conversation. I'll look into it and bring it up the next time it inevitably comes up in conversation. I'm so exhausted talking about this stuff all the time due to the rehashing, so it will be nice to have something new to add.
I studied to become a secondary school teacher, specialized in Romance languages.

One day, when I was teaching 7yo kids, my vocal cords failed me. I suddenly could not make a faintest sound with my mouth, and the condition persisted for a few hours.

Turns out, not everyone has a strong voice. It can be helped with some training, but I was told I should look for other career paths. I worked as Computational Linguist for a few years, then went into software development.
I cant imagine how large scale of an airport would be required to do all that for everyone on the plane in 10 mins before the flight.
On average, countries where health care workers are paid more "reasonable" wages have extremely stressed and understaffed systems -- even moreso than the US. There's no glorified social status associated with the professions.

Just look at the UK or like...almost anywhere in South America.
This article is pretty short, but I think there is one elephant I haven't seen discussed, the retirement of boomers as COVID has discouraged them from the workplace. This opened up slots for upward mobility for gen-xers and older millennials, and for folks in low paid sectors a chance at a new higher paying job. This would impact availability of low skill service workers who now have a better job, and with the dropping fertility rate this may be related to a general population shift/decline.

I'll wait on stats, but I keep hearing about city/state workers retiring en masse, and stories of folks deciding to retire because it doesn't make sense to them to keep working.
If you read any of the studies done, "anti-vaccine" is always lowest on the list of reasons for rejecting the COVID vaccines.

The top of the list would be reasons like worried about side-effects, worried about efficacy, distrust of pharmaceutical companies, distrust of government agencies like FDA/CDC, belief that COVID isn't a danger to them, etc.

It would be helpful if you educated yourself instead of spreading disinformation:

> Although there were also fewer COVID-19 cases in villages with cloth masks as compared to control villages, the difference was not statistically significant.

This means you can’t draw conclusions from this finding apart from that any difference there actually is is really small.
Metamask is distributed through Google as well, and it operates in Chrome.

It would be easier to let me know what web3 technology is not subject to Google's whims!
Hmmm...this has been a goal of mankind for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians wanted it...so did Ponce de Leon in the late 15th century.

The SV billionaires just want to do it in a more scientific way with cutting edge technology...
Education is societal problem and can be solved by technological means. Developing free, lightweight and portable browser is one of the solutions necessary to make knowledge more available, therefore this tech addresses social problem.
Right, and we will eventually choose to forgo toilets and defecate in the streets again, because "never say never".

Please address my argument instead of this unconstructive purity-testing nonsense.
Since the vaccine only does a small subset of what the live virus does, why would you think it is safer getting the virus rather than taking the vaccine?

Here in South Texas I keep my house at 78° during the daytime in A/C season (that's typically March-November, plus some days the other months). If the ceiling fan's aren't on, and the air isn't moving around properly, it can easily get up to 82°. It's perfectly comfortable. (You acclimate to it)

Understand, the average high is in the mid to upper 90's and trying to get a home a/c to cover a 20+ temperature difference is difficult and significantly drives up the monthly power bill.
The Johnson and Johnson shot is not an mRNA vaccine, is freely available, and undergoing the same vetting process as the mRNA vaccines. The reason people are being labeled as "anti-vaxx" is because there aren't a lot of reports of the "anti-mRNA" crowd lining up to get the J-and-J shot.
If it's just when the database is decentralized, why even call it web3? Why should web standards even care about implementation details of the database?

We didn't move to "web3" when db sharding became a big thing, or when NoSQL caught on.

I would argue that being insulting to a significant number of people on the basis of false assertions and strawmen is both wrong and idiotic. To each their own yeah?
> I didn't even bother taping the filter to the fan.

I found bungee cord with J hooks works really well. As you correctly point out, you don't need to secure it at all, but it is annoying to tap the box fan and have the filter fall over.
No. The previous criteria was FDA approval, but the goalposts predictably moved once that happened.
Good UX isn't security, MM and Infuria are owned by the same person (very centralized), you can't change your secret phrase, sentry.js doesn't secure a react app very well at all... etc. etc. etc. I'm not a hater (actually I'm a user), but I am pointing out a wide variety of issues that should be publicly discussed.

You're making a lot of assumptions about what a very large number of people think. People deserve to be educated and treated with some sense of understanding, not blamed constantly and made idiots, because you will never convince people to change their mind by insulting them and telling them that they are wrong.
I like those checks though. It won't stop a guy trying to do a mass killing. It will stop a guy prone to getting drunk and casually carrying a gun who might be fine cheating the system if they're not checking, but not if they are checking.
zero.

there is no social cost to the vaccine if it has no effect.

there is a social cost to any vaccine that has only negative effects.

The vaccine we're currently talking about has very limited negative effects but incredibly beneficial positive effects. so the social cost to the vaccine we're talking about is not getting it causes more harm than getting it.
In theory there's no reason you can't use a breadboard jumper kit and splice it to the cable that the sensor comes with

But soldering has a very low cost-of-entry, and even using solderable breadboards over solderless can make your project a lot easier to use (no more worrying about lose connections or capacitance issues)
we don’t know if it’ll be a lifelong thing though. I suspect with all this pushback and emotional exhaustion (and I really do believe it’s emotionally exhausting to constantly be hounding over peoples morality on the internet) people will just stop giving a shit about what someone said 5 years ago pretty soon.

>They're not actually fine with other vaccines, they're "okay" with it because they had them as a baby without a choice.

This sort of thinking is designed to "other" people and shut down debate. You don't speak for other people, stop pretending to.

Further, it's intellectually dishonest to pretend that if you have skepticism about these vaccines specifically you must secretly be anti all vaccines.
You can always chase people who sneeze on the streets(hang around a hospital maybe?), get your covid, test positive, quarantine yourself for 2 weeks and hope for the best as an immuniser or a natural booster.

The vaccines on the other hand are much more practical and safer. They seem to lose some efficacy over time against getting covid but the results against getting seriously ill are very promising. Which probably means, if you get Covid-19 naturally later on, it would be a natural booster with much lower risk compared to a non-vaxxed person.
Serendipity, or luck if you prefer, seems to play such a big role in these things.

While I agree with the fact that China has a lot of coal power plants, afaik they are the ones investing the most into new nuclear tech. And also it's not like their emissions happen on a vacuum; first the world outsources all of their factories to China, and then they complain that they pollute a lot, as though the demand for consumer goods was China's fault.

For a practical example, the government of the UK likes to claim that they are on track to be "zero emissions"[0] -- great effort on their part. However, here all the imported manufactured products that definitely are not "zero emissions" aren't counted. All these emissions were exported to China, and then they have the gall to complain that China's emissions are too high.

Isn't the expensive-ness an opportunity cost than a real cost?

If I sell a 10% stake for $100m, my company is valued at $1bn.

If I use that $100m towards growing the business, then both the 10% stake, and the remaining 90% grow in value.

If a new investor wants a 10% stake, it's going to cost more than $100m.

This is a very oversimplified example, so there are probably parts of the process where financial cost is incurred by the company. But I'm not sure where that happens.
What does any of that mean?

You're talking about "aren't thinking" but most of your posts just involve nebulous throw away phrases like "People have immunity"... clearly you know that phrase doesn't mean anything right?

In the meantime we can all see for ourselves actual impact, real things, in areas where vaccination rates are low. These aren't nebulous concepts like your phrases, they're real.
