> And I think that's a very underhanded bullying argument to coerce people into giving up their freedom or having medical treatment they don't want, to suggest that they are responsible for killing others because of choices like this. Because there are hundreds of ways we could all change our choices and indirectly save people,it does not always mean we are responsible for them if we don't.

That is a frankly ridiculous and immoral attitude. If you refuse to make minor accomodations when presented with choices that can reduce the amount of risk you cause others, you ARE responsible.

If you choose to dive drunk, you are responsible. If you choose to lie about the the status of your STD testing, you are responsible. If you actively discourage people from taking a safe vaccine, you are responsible. If you choose to go un-masked and unvaccinated when there is significant local spread, you are responsible. I don't beleive the best response to this is vilification or shamming, but that doesn't change the moral truth here.

If you have "hundreds of ways" we can make minor changes to save the lives of others lives, please share them because that sounds likr really useful information.

I think communication is best done with honesty and politeness and without censorship. That does not mean we absolve people of the responsibility of theor choices

The descent into authoritarianism is also a significant risk, but vaccine mandates are NOT that start of a slippery slope. They have been around for many decades and they haven't resulted in any slipping. If anything, getting people riled up about vaccines is a way to justify censorship and distract from the ever growing power of the surveillance state.

I am not a doctor so I cannot judge if “no it cannot be done” is valid or not.

But I think experts are allowed and expected to say “no it cannot be done” when something truly cannot be done. Experts are not superheroes and unlike superhero movies (just as example) there are matters that we cannot solve in a timely matter no matter how many experts we throw in the ring.
Wow, talk about a flash from the past! I was super-into jeskola buzz, I also worked with game development of very small games (<400KiB) and we wanted better sound effects in those, so I basically developed a softsynth that was very similar to jeskola buzz! I mean, it was sort-of horrible but it did produce some very interesting sounds with tens or hundreds of bytes in data size, which was a hugh improvement.
Can't help with dirty history, but on paper Schwab is hard to beat. AFAIK Schwab and Betterment are the only two left that do worldwide ATM fee coverage.

My only downside with Schwab is the UI on their site. It seems very much geared to the boring investor, moreso than the checking account customer. Maybe some people prefer that, though.
Your drinking is regulated. When you step into a car drunk, you are putting others at risk and it stops being your problem and starts being society's problem.

The same is true here. You are stepping into society on a state of health that presents risks to everyone around you.

This seems to indicate that a Pfizer vaccination is better than having Covid previously:

Pfizer reduced rates by 82% whereas a Covid infection reduced rates by 73%.

>Fourteen days after a second dose of Oxford-AstraZeneca or Pfizer-BioNTech, rates had dropped by 67% and 82% respectively. In comparison, people who had not been vaccinated but had had COVID-19 before had rates which were 73% lower than unvaccinated individuals

> Post-vaccination CAE rate was highest in young boys aged 12-15 following dose
two. For boys 12-17 without medical comorbidities, the likelihood of post vaccination dose two
CAE is 162.2 and 94.0/million respectively. This incidence exceeds their expected 120-day
COVID-19 hospitalization rate at both moderate (August 21, 2021 rates) and high COVID-19

In short, COVID-19 is not very dangerous for younger people. So much so that the vaccine appears to pose a greater health risk.

i would be happy to only use glass bottles and no more plastic even if it means i have to wash them before taking them to get refilled. except there is nowhere i can do this. all i have the option of doing is buying and landfilling more single use plastic.

people need to be given no cheaper choice than to do the right thing. but capitalism isnt about to stop maximizing profits and disregarding externalities. they would much rather cheer you on to "recycle" (landfill) rather than reduce or reuse.

it's a race to the bottom. i've heard it called environmental arbitrage. regulations too harsh in US? outsource to china where it's cheaper and simply gets dumped into rivers/oceans over there.

Money Laundering and Spoofing are wildly different classes of behavior for a bank. Money Laundering is criminal activity in the bank's core function. Spoofing is... a trading activity, hurting other traders, and only related to banking in that "JP Morgan Chase" is a large org that dies many things.

I don't mean to be shilling for any single bank here, I just happen to be more familiar with the spoofing than the other cases.

You don't get sunburnt and your rational conclusion is the science is wrong?

If housing and other goods are really cheap that means it's very easy to achieve financial independence. Everybody would be able to retire. Then nobody would work anymore.

That might be a good thing though.
I fucking hate this website I'm done.

People here love decrying "tyranny" in America and I will either laugh or cry when they their principles come up against the slightest of inconveniences.

> That is a frankly ridiculous and immoral attitude. If you refuse to make minor accomodations when presented with choices that can reduce the amount of risk you cause others, you ARE responsible.

I know that's what you believe, it's not what I believe. I believe it is ridiculous and immoral to coerce and force people into medical treatment for a relatively minor illness that others have freely available access to effective vaccines against. To be sure it is worse than the flu, but this is not smallpox, the bullies and fearmongers making comparisons like that were simply lying and spreading misinformation. And if it was similar to smallpox, I think it would be quite clear and people would be far more inclined to get vaccinated.

And I disagree with your idea of blame, as I said above the same argument can be made about overweight people and others. Maybe you are responsible for the death of starving children right now because you were browsing the internet instead of donating your time or money?

And it absolutely is authoritarianism because it is not about the virus or even the vaccine itself really. It is a totally politicized tool that authorities are using. That should have been clear when people were flip flopping between being skeptical of the "Trump" vaccine and calling border closures racist and refusing to acknowledge natural immunity and all that other nonsense. It's not the slippery slope because this is already authoritarianism. Telling people they can not go about their lives, they can't work or go to school, tracking and controlling where they go, who they meet, what business they do. It's already here.

If mandates were such a non-issue, why was it just a few months ago the experts and politicians were all lying and denying there would be mandates? Are they just pathological liars who will lie about trivial things that don't matter? Or did they know the seriousness of the issue and decide to lie and mislead until the opinion polls looked better for them? Neither option inspires a lot of trust in them.
If the only reason you aren't getting the vaccine is because the government wants you to it doesn't sound like you're actually exhibiting any control over your body. You're just putting a NOT gate in front of the government's choice.

Plugins were a security nightmare.

Webgames are generally more about free to play and accessibility. No install or trust required. They are usually more casual games and must work on the widest possible selection of devices.

That's what WebGL is all about. If your looking for a memory intensive behemoth of a game, it makes more sense to look at native as opposed to WebGL. There's nothing wrong with either approach, but the web lends itself to one more than the other.

I assume you have evidence of this given your long obsession with Nazis in this thread. Did you forget to report these 'specific neo nazis' that posted this or did you just leave them online?

I missed my first two years of highschool (less than 40% attendance) due to being immunocompromised + side effects of immunosuppressants + depressed. Work and readings were sent home. I did most of the work but not all. I did exams and did very well. There was talk of having me repeat the second year despite getting mostly As and Bs but luckily I didn't have to.

Fast forward to the final two years of high school. I was much healthier, didn't miss school but did terribly. Maybe undiagnosed attention deficit, maybe depression, which led to a lack of motivation once my grades started to slip + general adolescence and socialising.

That being said, I had a relatively privileged upbringing and depending on your definition(s) of intelligence I would be generally considered above average. (I would hazard a guess that, a lot, if not most of HN leans that way) If either of those things didn't hold I probably wouldn't be where I am today.

It’s hard to give that a fair simple answer. What it doesn’t do great is texting, so your laptop/tablet/phone are still clear better choices there. Maybe the new one is better there with swipe.

So if I’m sitting at your laptop and have signal/imessage up, I can lose track of my phone, but that’s kinda cheating. For little outings like the grocery store or gym, you can definitely leave the phone and just dictate what you need to. So for a WFH day with little outings, you can easily just leave your phone on the charger and ignore it all day. But for a full day out and about where you might text a bunch, you’ll drive yourself crazy trying to do it all on the watch. If the new swipe thing changes that, I’ll be very happy, but I’m not betting on it.
We are also lacking evidence for what happens after booster shots are given repeatedly. (Or even in the cohort that has been infected and double vaccinated.) We are participating in an open trial to find out. It's only rational to consider that there may be yet-unobserved risks.

The perfect transparency of the underlying data is rather the whole point of records. Tempered by immutability, records should be a useful tool for modeling data where encapsulation is not required. Note that it is still possible to add methods that can perform computation on the underlying data.
Of extended family and friends, the ones with the most personal wealth by retirement got there not by being more creative, or inventive, or productive, or by studying and acquiring skills and knowledge, or starting and growing a business, but by inheriting, buying, renting and flipping properties at the right time.

>Because it's a terrible policy prescription. If natural immunity is acceptable, what proportion of the unvaccinated-uninfected population will just take the risk?

You're making a calculation not regarding health, but regarding public reaction. The problem is that the public health community sucks as far as making these calculations go; I don't think I need to list all the missteps here. IMHO, they know a lot about epidemiology, nothing about the public. So it's best to just make the right policy and not to try 4D chess with the public, that tends to backfire.

Just about anyone who has remained unvaccinated so far is already taking the risk you pointed out*. No point in spending resources chasing recovering patients we don't really have to vaccinate right now.

Now I don't agree with using antibody test results (these kits aren't standardized, so the relation between immunity and the results isn't clear), but an actual record of recovery should do. As the article notes, that's what many other countries in the world do.

* Excluding the very few people who actually have a good reason to not vaccinate due to certain extremely rare immune system ailments.

This is absurd. Vaccine efficacy is measured against natural antibodies resulting from a recovery.

I cannot get the vaccine and I’m effectively a second class citizen. I was sick and recovered - my immune system is working as designed.

What I miss most in QubesOS is ability to connect my GPU hardware to a specific VM (or app, or container) the way I do the mic, camera, and USB peripherals. I don't need it for rendering the browser GUI, where the CPU is wholly adequate, but it would be helpful for e.g. mpv, and as a back-end for OpenCL/OpenMP programs. This seems like it ought to be much easier than trying to share such a GPU with multiple VMs simultaneously.

The problem seems to be how to do it securely. You could imagine faking GPU hardware for the VM image to talk to. But maybe Vulkan would be a better API? Has any work been done on a wrapper forwarding calls that refer to VM-mapped addresses to a native Vulkan? (What happens in WSL2?)

I find Kompute ( https://github.com/KomputeProject/kompute , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz4fiQNmGSA ) that seems to be a serious attempt at building general computation infrastructure on top of Vulkan. Is exposing a Vulkan wrapper, and building compute kernels on top of that, a practical avenue?

This all seems like something someone must have throught through already, but I have not found anything published about it.
Well, it’s not hard being faster than 20 years old tech. Also, webassembly still doesn’t have proper bindings to the DOM (and seriously, at the time we could be happy that a static DOM could be displayed), and java is one of the very few languages that actually has a proper specification allowing independent implementations, and it is not just saying that “the spec is whatever code we write”.

So these comparisons frankly make no sense as every such shortcoming could have been easily fixed in 20 years.
> To produce a good analysis using either Bayesian or frequentist methodology (or to criticise such an analysis), you have to have deep domain knowledge. There's no getting around that, and arguably the use of p-values often lets you get away with shoddy domain knowledge.

The whole problem we're facing is that it requires too much domain knowledge and detailed analysis to dismiss results that are actually just noise. The whole point of p-values is that they give you a way to do that without needing that complex analysis with deep domain knowledge - they're not a replacement for doing in-depth analysis, they're a way to cull the worst of the chaff before you do, the statistical-analysis equivalent of FizzBuzz. Bayesianism has no substitute for that (you can't say anything until you've defined your prior, which requires deep domain knowledge), and as such makes the problem much worse.
