> COVID-19 Antibody Tests cost more than the vaccine (roughly $40 Vs. $16/dose).

So a marginal cost of $24. Folks with natural immunity will have a stronger reaction to the vaccine, but let’s be conservative. Let’s say 12 hours of symptoms - headache, fatigue, light fever. Very standard with a shot. At around the minimum wage of $8/hour that’s a cost of $96. How much do you value your time?

Full disclosure: happily vaccinated. The vaccine is safe, but it’s dammed inconvenient.
So you're literally arguing that it's better if we have an immunological monoculture?

Be honest: have you passed high school biology?
There will always be people willing to accept the bare minimum. That doesn't have anything to do with the fact that those who do work are still in poverty, with no way out.

Also many have never had a single vacation in their lives. Some just needed the break.

This is the heart of capitalism right, you bought the capital, the post hole digging machine, and so you get to (this next word is being used with its technical definition, make full use of and derive benefit from (a resource), not the emotionally charged one) exploit the value generated by labor using the capital.

In your scenario you didn't say how much you charge the customer, but I'll assume that it's more than you pay the laborer so that you can turn a profit. You are paying the laborer $5 per post hole. Let's say you have a healthy profit margin so you charge the customer $10 per post hole. The laborer makes you $200 each day of which you pay the laborer $100 and pocket the other $100 as profit.

Now you have a post hole digging machine, they guy can dig 200 post holes and that generates $2000 dollars in value for you of which you pay out $100 to the laborer and pocket the other $1900. Now you used to make $100 profits, so let's subtract that out and say you make an additional $1800 per day from that laborer. If the capital costs $20,000 you will pay for the capital in $20,000 / $1800 = 11.11 days, we can round up and say 2 weeks.

So in 2 weeks you will have paid for the capital expenditure with the increase in productivity, and then there will be upkeep and maintenance on the post hole machine, but every day after the first 12 days you go from labor making 50% of the value they generated digging holes to labor making 5% of the value they generate digging holes.

Now we tell ourselves, this is the system working, you took the risk in buying the post hole digging machine. The laborer could save up his earnings for 200 days (assuming he had no other expenses, which is not realistic) and also have $20k to buy a post hole digging machine and then could just go capture the full value of his labor himself, or could pay someone $100 to operate it and make $1900 a day.

If you are the guy digging the holes though, 6 months after the machine is paid off you are still only capturing 5% of the value you generate, does that seem like a good deal anymore. At what point does your taking 95% of the value someone else generate become predatory. We make ourselves feel better by saying, it's a free market, if he doesn't like it he can go get a different job. But at the end of the day, someone making $1900 has a lot more economic power and the options that come with it than someone making $100. After a year of hard work that laborer has $36,500 and the capitalist has $693,500.

It's not surprising that as the economy has done this day after day, year after year, we are faced with massive income inequality, and it was really only a matter of time before the guy actually digging all the post holes your selling might ask how this arrangement is fair.
Fair enough, but that implies there may come a day when mortgage rates are much higher and then housing for new buyers is not at all affordable.

Homeowners that locked in 30-year fixed rates might not be too concerned at first. But eventually, even they may need to move or sell someday. Wages or buying power will need to catch up to avoid some downward price pressure.
> Chaining methods on classes

But defining these is typically left to library authors in many languages. Writing your own Fluent/chaining interface isn't usually worth the effort. Where in these languages because any function is "chainable" and gets it for free a lot of programming ends up being chained pipelines. Anything where there is a logical workflow (a lot of programming) ends up being nice to read when expressed with pipes (i.e. do this, then this, then that, and finally return this). The pipe operator goes hand in hand with currying as well since you can complete some of the arguments before wiring the partial completed function into a generic workflow; a pattern that typically isn't be done with Fluent/Chaining methods on classes.
Take this as anecdotal because I am not aware of a study being done, but many people with long COVID report the vaccination improving their symptoms. This seems to argue that there is additional defense in getting vaccinated.
The judging of other people towards these girls isn't nearly as toxic as them having a poor body image because of all the beautiful people they see online.

Those girls in 1995 got their media fix through magazines geared at women and teenaged girls, where they'd find an impossibly thin model on every other page. The Kardashians wouldn't have been well-received in the 90s, because all of them would have been considered fat by those standards.

Yes, I don't think anyone is saying that this is unique to Facebook — they just get the most attention by virtue of popularity and profitability, and having lied about what they knew and when in various related areas. Ignoring the question of the exact effects of all of the political use of social media in the previous decade, that simply happening to the degree it did guaranteed that they'd get a lot more scrutiny.

I definitely agree that there isn't a proven solution for this problem — that's normal for major technological changes. We saw the same thing with printed books, magazines, and newspapers; radio; TV; the internet; etc. — not to mention things like cars which weren't communications technologies but definitely had major impacts on society. I think the best thing we can get right now is more of the data companies like Facebook and Google tend to avoid sharing, especially after various governments experiment with rules and it becomes possible to see what does and doesn't work.

>I'm a little fed up of this canard. No. This is not the case. I've lived in the UK and had to do self assessment filing. It was not "essentially a one-click process". I have lived in Japan and filed taxes there. It was also not "essentially a one-click process".

On the other hand, where I live in Sweden the process is essentially one-click, and there are several other countries in Europe where the same is true. No idea why U.K would still be bad, but I can see Japan being bad given their stamps on paper-culture. Pity.

>No, it does not. A significant chunk of social programs are run in the US via the tax system (primarily through the forms of various credits) and are dependent on facts that the IRS does not know.

Is information from these social programs a necessity for filing taxes? If so, the fix is simple: have them report these numbers into the IRS. Otherwise, have a base case of 0 and allow this information to be added as needed.
The level of a minimum wage should certainly take productivity into account.

Economically, all jobs that have a productivity lower than the minimum wage's total cost to employers disappear.

So there is a balance to achieve and that's why low productivity is always seen as problematic (and why food delivery guys are never going to be paid a lot).

Those are my opinions, however.
The infection rate and how HPV spreads is completely different from an airborne virus. The time comparison to do trials isn't really meaningful.
Nowhere does it say they don’t recommend it. Just that they aren’t going to universally mandate it.

“For otherwise healthy 12 to 15 year old children, their risk of severe COVID-19 disease is small and therefore the potential for benefit from COVID-19 vaccination is also small. The JCVI’s view is that overall, the health benefits from COVID-19 vaccination to healthy children aged 12 to 15 years are marginally greater than the potential harms.

Taking a precautionary approach, this margin of benefit is considered too small to support universal COVID-19 vaccination for this age group at this time. The committee will continue to review safety data as they emerge.”

> Teenage boys are six times more likely to suffer from heart problems from the vaccine than be hospitalised from Covid-19.

What use is it to compare two different things? Those heart problems aren't all hospitalizations. Teenage boys who get COVID-19 are more likely to have heart problems than teenage boys who get vaccinated. Teenage boys who get COVID-19 are more likely to be hospitalized than teenage boys who get vaccinated. Many young men have died of COVID-19, and none have died of the vaccine.

>Your calculation is wrong. 120 million that are unvaccinated, out of which 40 million are immune from past contraction and another 45 million are ineligible, that leaves 35 million, less than the number of people who are immune from having contracted the virus.

Note that I did not mention immunity. I mentioned vaccinated vs. unvaccinated.

Contracted/recovered from the virus != vaccinated.

As to levels of immunity from previous infection, I made no statement whatsoever.

Edit: clarified my initial statement vis a vis vaccination vs. immunity.

Then you should be concerned about the considerable risk they will end up there due to heart inflammation (in the case of male children).

Not an authoritative source, but since you cite your own experience, mine has been the opposite. Especially so when TypeScript is also in the mix.

> Plus, this is const vs let, which is a reach to call "immutable data". We're not talking about object properties.

As I mentioned in a sibling comment, const is often used to signal the intent to treat an assignment as immutable. This isn’t universal, but I understand it to be idiomatic usage.
Sure, robots might be able to do it cheaper in the near future, but that’s unrelated to the question of whether productivity has gone up.
The problem is the question itself, both the one you asked and the one the researchers asked. Is it recognizing ethnicity or race? Clumping ethnicities as "race" is the social construct. It's not just skin that is different between people. If a certain culture prizes certain features in people, people with those traits will breed more, thus amplifying biological features within a socio-cultural group.

My question is, using medical imaging can it particularly identify say people of african origin but it cannot tell apart east vs west africans? Can it uniquely identify asians but can it not tell apart an indian person from a Korean? Or given proper training can it discern between north and south koreans or between a french person and a greek person?

Race is a social construct not because groups of people are all identical but because both science and major-religion have concluded that humans share a common human(homosapien) ancestry, therefore there is one human race and multiple ethnicities and geographical super-ethnicities (south east asian and north european for example).

Edit: This is also why race on id cards is silly. Not because you don't want to identify people based on appearance but because ethnicity is more granular and leads to less confusion. Would it be more identifying to say indian or asian? African or north-african?

I strongly believe the modern black/white/asian "race" is a darwinian invention to try and understand and classify nature better, based on intuition instead of science.
Safety is not a binary condition. The vaccines have a good safety profile as confirmed through large-scale clinical trials, and have met stringent FDA criteria. However the risk isn't zero. The CDC has acknowledged a small risk of myocarditis for the mRNA vaccines.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/my...

This isn't generally a reason to avoid vaccination for most of the population, however the risk / benefit ratio may be different for some sub-populations. In particular there has been a higher than expected rate of adverse cardiac events for adolescent males.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.30.21262866v...

So particularly for those adolescents who have already recovered from infection and have no other risk factors we should have a scientific discussion about whether vaccination makes sense from an evidence-based medicine perspective. Unfortunately the issue has been so politicized that any suggestion of caution often gets misinterpreted as being anti-vaccination.

It's not the book-keeping that's the issue, it's the physical determination of status.

For antibody status, you have to do an antibody test, which is strictly more complex/expensive than a COVID vaccine (it took 3 days when I got it done), so it's not viable at population scale.

It's similar to the reason that monoclonal antibody therapy is not a scalable treatment for COVID infection - better to minimize the chance of needing such treatment by just getting vaccinated.

Elvish Hero is the highest HP Tier2 unit of the elves.

If you go down the list: Orc Warrior has a high chance of killing Elvish Marksman, Elvish Ranger, Elvish Sorceress, and other incredibly valuable units. And remember: this is a hex-grid system. That means every unit in a line will fight against 2-units per opponent's turn.

The Orc Warrior by itself already has a high chance (~20% chance) of killing T2 units under typical circumstances (equal flat terrain at night: advantage to Orcs for sure but its not that uncommon a situation). If you're dealing with two of them, that's pretty much GGs. You're basically hoping for misses.

And that's optimal placement: you can't get any "better" than 2-units fighting vs your frontline units. With bad positioning, you might have 3-enemies or 4-enemies fight a unit (especially if those enemies have Zone-of-Control immunity, like Fencers)
I'm not saying you should do it because of the fact that the rest of the world does it - this is merely evidence of its feasability.
