>pay money to anybody who suffers a serious side effect from taking a vaccine

Nitpick, but really it is a fund to pay for anyone who suffered a side effect that it cannot be proven wasnt a vaccine. In this case vaccines are guilty until proven innocent.

>approximately 70 percent of its payments are the result of a negotiated settlement “in which HHS has not concluded, based upon review of the evidence, that the alleged vaccine caused the alleged injury.”

I haven't spoken to an anti-vaxxer yet. Those that I've seen in the media have been completely irrational (5g/bill gates theories). So, I'm looking forward to learning from a rational person what their motivations are.

What are your reasons to refuse a vaccine? Weren't you vaccinated as a child for polio & chicken pox? Why is this vaccine a hill to die on? Thanks.
China's hypersonic missiles have shorter range than an F35 launched from a carrier with midair refuel drone.

The only issue is that we'd want our carriers closer in practice. Close to the action means faster response times. If we are willing to destroy Chinese satellites, then China's kill chain becomes much harder.

I'm not convinced that a drone or spyplane can reliably penetrate the defensive line of destroyers + cruisers + E2 Hawkeyes.

And satellites aren't even that reliable either, it may be possible to hide a carrier between satellite flyovers in practice.

It would probably save lives _and_ lower the cost of healthcare. This is why many employers already offer free on-site "influence" (heh) shots for employees: it makes good business sense.

I'm never sure how to take objections like yours, because there are certainly a few different things to discuss. Is your objection to the government's role in this (such that you'd be fine with private employers enforcing whatever mandates they wish)? Or are you objecting to the mandatory vaccination (in which case, what do you have against spitting into a vial once a week)?

Or are you more of a technocrat, concerned that the ROI (in terms of, say, QUALYs, as economists like to put it) gained through these policies isn't worth the cost?

All strike me as viable arguments, but it's always hard to tell which one is being put forward.
...nevermind all the other people you interact with in your life.
Unless you mean a very literal "at our expense" as in dollars paid for a highly effective vaccine, are you implying that the vaccine has been a net negative?

Your threat model for ubiquitous cheap sensing tech is nation states? I'm not overly worried about being spied on by nation states. In general, my feeling is that if a nation-state decides I'm important enough to deploy hardware against, I have no real defense.

Now, big tech companies putting it everywhere, and either convincing the stores I shop at or my neighbors to pay for the hardware and slurping up the data - that is a real danger case. And those companies build off academic research like this. Even trillion-dollar companies don't do as much of this research inhouse as they do by sponsoring grants like this.
You still need to check that the definitions are correct. If you define `x^n = 42`, then proving FLT for `n > 2` is really easy. And proof checkers cannot check that you get the definitions right.

Japan's chip industry squeezed as foreign governments boost investment
Eh, yes there is data but the association is not clear and straightforward that diet is the necessary or sufficient condition for metabolic or cardiovascular diseases. What you're quoting is, in healthcare, called the "standard of care" and is the workflow that is recommended for doctors (i.e. less likely to be sued for malpractice if they follow the route). Most doctors are technicians, not researchers establishing causal claims with strong data.

Please don't misread, I agree with you in principle. I am simply pointing out there are nuances.
> What is the plan? Imprison the person living in the ratty house? Fine them into oblivion? I've never heard of a case of a town council taking over someone's house to repair it - I'm sure it happened somewhere once but that is quite the outlier.

If you have this little information about how societies work, maybe it would be a good idea to do some reading before making bold pronouncements about how hypothetical systems are better. Cities have various approaches and degrees of success so there are plenty of real world examples you can compare with details rather than treating it like a dorm room hypothetical.

> Hong Kong, jewel of Asia? Switzerland is probably pretty decentralised too, they certainly have the most democratic government I know of. And the highest-ranked superpower on the list, everyone's favourite USA, is famous for having some of the strongest constraints on their government in the world.

None of those are commonly considered libertarian states and they all have many examples of rules which most libertarians oppose (e.g. the Swiss gun control laws) so it would again be better to talk about specific real policies rather than hypotheticals which are too vague to evaluate.

> “Normalcy” is gone for good.

Unless you want to live naked in a tribe on the African savannas, "normalcy" has been changing for tens of thousands of years, and very fast for the couple hundred, and extremely so for the last hundred. It should not be a surprise that it continues to do so, and "you have to get certain vaccines" has been a thing for any kid going through public schools and/or college for decades. This is nothing new.

92% of Americans are vaccinated for polio within 24 months of birth. 90% for MMR. 90% for chickenpox. 80% for DTaP. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/immunize.htm

There are many kinds of meditation. You can try being mindful while lifting iron, so at least you can practice mindfulness mediation.
You’re right that some schools have had a vaccine mandate. But neither the private nor public sector ever have. And we didn’t have the accompanying dystopian nightmare as a reality and further threat. So I would say your argument is tired and misses the point entirely, aside from being so brazenly naive to fall for the “if only these last few holdouts got vaccinated everything would be normal!” straw man.

Keep on goose stepping…
Enterprises already use Wifi to track customers in stores (albeit in a very simple way compared to the new capabilities). This will enable stores to track customers to a much higher degree.
In the US, you are not going to be able to get any decently priced term life insurance without a blood test, height, and weight. The A1C and cholesterol levels, combined with height, weight, medical history, and family medical history probably give them enough information for metabolic health/diet.
That thread is a riot!

Thanks for sharing it.
Good point, thank you! That's a very intuitive counterexample.
It means that for people with an immune system that's functioning within the normal range, the vaccine entirely prevents infection (100% effectiveness). Population-wide effectiveness isn't 100%, but for most individuals it is.
If only they had used used the official test suite... which is provided, free of charge, in JSON.
Come on, quit fetishizing. Get vaccinated if you're medically able and let's get on with normalcy.
That is the big question in physics today! There is the hypothetical "graviton" which, as you should expect, has zero mass. There are theoretical problems due to the poorly understood interaction of general relativity and quantum mechanics -- if you could resolve those problems you would have a "theory of everything."
We aren't ever going back to normal at this point.

Once government gets power, it doesn't give it back.

I recently bought a 32" 4K monitor. Two different models were at at that point inexpensive enough to tempt me. A smart one, and different brand, dumb one for $50 more. I bought the latter. I'm happy.

The market decides, right? What is actually happening here?

1. Most people actually like this overdone gimmickry?

2. Most people think they will like it, buy it and then get sick of it? Thus people like me, who seek out the ungimmicked product, are not a significant market force?

3. Most people would prefer not to have it, but due to a free market failure, the ungimmicked product just isn't available any more?

The gimmicks are everywhere. We have a basic "Instant Pot" pressure cooker. It has just the right amount of electronic smarts. A few button presses to cook a roast to completion in about an hour, and walk away. It beeps when it's done. With later models you see an almost obsessive drive to load them up with more features, few of which anyone will ever use.

I worry more about those whose blood is however boiling and likely to do something violent if the status quo continues. I wish that we could get some laws without loopholes, with teeth, to reign in the growing wealth disparity before we cross the Rubicon and it becomes too late.

Oh well, no more than a geek's toy if you want to keep up with relevant hardware specs. Obviously the government will never ever give up such a prevalent, versatile but yet transparent or stealthy management facility or rather rootkit/spyware, I meant Intel ME or AMD PSP. As there are asymmetric keys pre-embedded in the hardware, it would be hopeless for most of us to disable or even bypass it. In other words, we don't really own the hardware we bought as we simply have no (full) control over it.

I actually agree with the concept behind this, if not necessarily the implementation. We don't allow the phone company to disconnect you based on "viewpoint". However, if there is illegal activity, then the police can become involved, but unless you're harming the network, the phone company can usually only disconnect you for nonpayment. I'm really truly coming around to the idea that, once a platform becomes such a major influence on social and political discourse, they should be forced to become a common carrier, like the phone company.

But of course, we all know, if phones were invented today, there wouldn't be such a thing as common carrier.
And yet I still manage to accidentally press them when I don’t mean to. The other day I wished out loud that my stove had a button to turn on the buttons so the buttons would work when I want and not work when I don’t.

You often do get tested and rated based on health factors. Maybe not exact diet, but they can surely infer some of that from blood/urine/size/weight/etc. It depends on the insurance company but more likely the size of the policy. I think a lot of $20-$100k policies don't require any tests - they may also be more expensive. I got a decent term 15 years ago, and I had to have an in-home exam from a nurse.
Data from one study shows that of more than 3,000 adults ages 18 to 34 who contracted COVID-19 and became sick enough to require hospital care, 21% ended up in intensive care, 10% were placed on a breathing machine and 2.7% died.

That's pretty unreasonable unless you can't medically receive the shot and there are active infections.

Would you like to have access to healthcare when you need it?

Preventing spread is not the only reason, it also reduces the severity of the illness if you get it, and in any case vaccines do also reduce spread insofar as a vaccinated carrier's viral load is likely to reach a lower maximum for a shorter period of time
Verbosity is not a thing. We read HTML all the time.

Parser writing and dumping of data is equally complex for both JSON and XML. The only difference is that in JavaScript JSON is so much simpler due to the dynamic nature of the language and the core library. Out-of-the-box XML parsing in JS is just stone-age. Compare that to .NET System.Xml.XDocument and Newtonsoft.Json, then you can see the simplicity how an API could look (in a static type system ;))

No one needs DTDs. No modern contract is every spec'ed in DTDs. XSDSchema has superseeded that 20 years ago. The only issue with it, is that some entry level tutorials are still mentioning it.

The data model mapping depends a lot on the target language. In JavaScript XML is not a match but JSON is. Working with JSON in C++ is equally stupid as working with XML is.

The only stupid feature in XML is namespaces. Without that, it is simple.
Second this, don't buy global edition. The authors explicitly mentioned that they are NOT going to release an errata for it. Probably because it would be a book of itself...
> The only fundamental advantage that I would give XML over JSON is the fact that you can encode meta data in XML in a more idiomatic, standard way via attributes. But we all know that is not how XML is being used. If the ecosystem around XML wasn't abusing attributes to encode core/primary data, then there would be a stronger argument for the language IMO.

Attributes are absolutely one of the reasons for XML's failure. They seem so innocuous, until you encounter a schema where the developer created:

<Entity ID="12345" Type="Person">
<Property Name="FirstName" Value="Harry" Type="String" />
<Property Name="LastName" Value="Potter" Type="String" />
<Property Name="DateOfBirth" Value="1/1/1980" Type="DateTime" />
</Entity>

And you just want to hunt those people down and slap them.

Nevermind if you've ever encountered XML with mixed namespaces. Then again, reading the article the bit at the end is exactly the same sort of nastiness.
Sounds like you gotta do squats!
I can’t get the vaccine due to a medical condition but I was sick and recovered - having some form of natural immunity.

What do you mean? This thread is about how China is violently dealing with dissenters within Asia (HK is not China). We’re talking about how a ban on slave labor Chinese goods could solve things.

> Has anything like that has ever happened in history?

Never before in history has the global manufacturing industry concentrated into one region (China).
