It's why I said "at least theoretically" -- the vaccine cards have a date and vaccine lot number on them. I'm making the assumption that this has been recorded somewhere, such that you could at least check that a certain batch was administered on a certain day to a certain person.

Of course, this could all fail under the "medical records in the USA are garbage" issue.

Still, if nothing else, it's better for proving it than "I took a COVID test at home, trust me".
I wear a respirator instead and Face ID works fine through it, so that hasn't been a problem for me. I certainly understand it's been a common complaint however, and I'd fully support Apple adding in-screen Touch ID. I just don't think that'd be a good replacement for Face ID, which all security discussions aside simply serves use cases (like wearing gloves) that Touch ID doesn't even as Touch ID serves cases that Face ID doesn't. It'd be better to have both.

Kind of too bad Apple couldn't have at least attempted to help more people out purely in software though. I use a complex password along with Face ID as well, but there isn't any inherent reason they couldn't have more of a step function there: complex master password for performing sensitive functions, then a PIN fallback for Face ID, then Face ID like normal. Complex master required for trusting devices, upgrades, installing profiles, etc, PIN/biometric for typical out-and-about functionality.

Very underwhelming release.

If catching COVID is only a risk to the people catching it I'd agree.

However by catching COVID you are also a burden to the health care system and possibly take away a hospital bed for someone who actually needs it (already happening). I do have a problem with that.
Huh. Somebody actually likes this? I find it super distracting when I’m driving. But I have a phone mount so I can see the directions ahead of time.
Very underwhelming release for Apple Watch.

Ah, fucking hell.
hmm - my father was a trained goldsmith and active in that time frame. There is no accounting for "taste" so, if you like those example watches, certainly there are no others like them! and I will recall that Vincent Price, actor and public character, once said "there is no great beauty without some strangeness of proportion"

however, I find most of those examples to be unlovely. Please do find a way to explore the wealth and craft of fine jewelry if it pleases you.. there are really incredible works in existence, including but not mostly, wrist watches.. probably with a lot less hype than these..

I know we want to have a space here to freely discuss things without being dismissed, but I also think enough of us have managed enough websites to understand that this account shouldn't be taken seriously.

I'm not saying that they are a bot either. Their comments suggest otherwise. But this person has, after nearly three years on this site, decided that now is the time to start submitting articles to the front page, and all of them have been about the same politically controversial thing, so this person clearly has an agenda they are trying to push.

It's apparently doable optically, similarly to blood oxygen, albeit much more challenging. There's an actual product out for it from one of Apple's suppliers, even: https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/07/14/apple-supplier-la...
You can opt out. I have, my wife hasn't. It definitely has an impact on the battery life (we both have the series 6). My watch easily makes it a full 24 hours, I charge it in the mornings when I work from home, or in the evening when I'll be at the office the next day. Hers lasts about 18 hours right now, though I also suspect that the fact she drops it on the charger both in the morning and as soon as she gets home from work has impacted the battery life in her case.

I wouldn't like it for camping or long hiking trips (not day hikes since I'd be able to charge it at some point easily enough), the Garmin's are definitely better for that if you want something for tracking your hike and heart rate.
Really? You just take the set of stories across N news outlets and then compare to the set of stories in each one outlet.
No, for 2 reasons,

1. huge data set: heaps requires storing the whole set, but "huge" means "more than you can store"

The coros looks amazing; I haven't shopped for a watch in years and was not even aware they existed. If/When my Garmin dies, they will defiantly be in the running for my next watch.
It was a very Sun-like thing to do. Sun dropped the 2. after their 2.6 release. Solaris 7 was the next release... then 8.
I think the biggest hurdle as they get into more "medical" areas is approvals from the FDA (in the US) and international regulatory agencies.

This is especially true overseas. I call McDonald's "American Embassies." When I'm traveling and stressed, tired, hungry and definitely not in the mood for an adventure, I can count on McDonald's to have a menu I can order off, whether I know the language or not, for the food to be satisfying and safe, for the prices to be predictable, for the restaurant to be clean and for the bathrooms to have toilet paper.
I've come up with a new sports drink. X% of people say it makes them feel good! WOOO! Y% don't feel anything. About one in Z people will absolutely feel worse. If you have suicidal thoughts, about one in ten of those will be able to attribute their suicidal thinking to my drink. When interviewed about my drink, teenagers will unprompted blame the drink on increasing rates of anxiety and and depression. If you feel unattractive, odds are about even you started feeling that way when you started drinking my drink. Teens regularly report wanting to drink less of my drink but lack the self control to do so. In part this is because they report feeling like they have to be seen drinking my drink. I know all this because I employ researchers who say they can't get people in my sports drink company to take their findings seriously because those researchers are "standing directly between people and their bonuses". So my execs don't use our internal research, but cite instead other studies (by orgs that I donate to) that highlight the positives.

I make $BILLIONS from this drink.

(fill in whatever value of X, Y and Z makes this all ok)
That... is a very long winded way to miss the point.

If you want to see what throws "FooException", you need an IDE to do it, unless you have the whole Javadoc memorised. It might be a hundred lines up and in the middle of a foo().bar().baz() chained series of method calls.

And yes, you need to know. The same exception in two different places might mean two very different things in terms of what actually broke, or what you should do to recover or fail the task at hand. Because of this, bubbling up raw exceptions out of deeply nested functions is generally a code smell, because by the time they get to the top level of even a module, all you know is "it broke". Unless you did the donkey work of wrapping the raw exception in something with more semantic context. The same work you'd do in Go.

It's also CV padding / bragging rights because you do need to demonstrate a certain amount of wealth. A former colleague dropped $50k on a startup in ~2010, and has been plastering "Angel Investor" all over everything he does. That was his only investment, but it was enough for him to not STFU about it.
I’d disagree pretty strongly that the majority of laptop buyers[0] are going out there and doing things. If anything, we’re trending more in a sedentary direction as a species.

Also, as an active person myself I’ve never had a problem with USB-C; I don’t use my laptop out hiking and fishing, and I’m kind of confused who in the world is riding horses or bicycles and also fiddling with their consumer electronics at the same time.

And while maybe USB-C is less durable than headphone jacks, I can also say that wired headphones suck when you’re being active. I can’t even count how many times a door knob ripped out my earbuds and sent me into a fit of rage. I switched to Bluetooth and never looked back.

0 - Of course the world’s poor are active, but they’re also not the target consumers for USB-C devices.
But it has USB-C, so you can use USB-C headphones or one of the many dongle adapters.
Sure, point out the hyperbole. I'll point out how predictable it is.

Everyone makes money by pulling a magic lever that hurts other people. Apple pulls their slave labor lever to make a new iPhone, Facebook holds down their 'moderate content' key until their employees start falling apart, and Microsoft occasionally pulls the 'fuck it, ship it' lever to the chagrin of millions of Windows users. There's always a bigger fish, and sometimes that fish is more shareholders, not more consumers.

I despise Facebook, and they're almost certainly the most evil FAANG member. But at this point, it's nothing more than par for the course. Facebook is in glib obedience of every 3-letter-agency in every country, everywhere. Blaming Facebook for the behavior that everyone practices in the Fortune 500 is a little misguided.

I've had the Garmin for almost 4 years. And it still has amazing battery life.
2-3 day battery life makes sense with sleep tracking, since you can sleep a couple of nights with it before you have to charge it.
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire happened on March 25, 1911. The owner kept the factory doors locked and as a result 146 people either died in the fire or jumped to their deaths. The owners were acquitted of manslaughter, but did have to pay $75 per person they killed. The owners made $60,000 profit due to the insurance payout.

Two years later in 1913, the one of the owners was arrested for locking his factory doors, again, and fined $20.

The contrary argument is reasonably well-stated within the article, it seems to be mostly a matter of what you assess to be the greatest risks going forward as to which argument you think is more valid.

After glancing at the endnotes, it seems that the bulk of the scientific references examining natural immunity date from before the delta variant established itself.

>As president, he should be looking for every reason to not alienate his own citizens.

Through the pandemic, there have been ~40,000,000 COVID cases[0] in the US, and ~120,000,000 people are completely unvaccinated[1].

As such, there are more (perhaps much more) than twice as many folks who have not had COVID who are unvaccinated than there are those who have had COVID.

Given that huge disparity, it's not surprising that the relevant public health authorities (which are mostly state and local, with support from the Federal government) are pushing vaccinations very hard.

I'd also point out that there are actual studies of the efficacy of COVID vaccines, while the data for "natural" immunity is much spottier.

As such, we know much more about how well vaccinations protect people than we do about how well the immune systems of those who have recovered from COVID will protect from reinfection.

What's more, it's not the President's job to be everyone's friend. It's their job (among other things) to promote the general welfare of the population. Getting as many people as possible vaccinated is definitely within that purview.

Your statement seems to be along the lines of "Biden won't give me a pony! He's alienating me!"

> Since you're using Rails, it's a lot easier to just add a controller endpoint that provides the composite data (as has been mentioned elsewhere already) for one UI action/page/navigation/state change, instead of using an entity-focused API.

Its possible, sure, but thats not the point. The point is the convention drives people to make entity-based endpoints and thats what I cannot stand. People are running the rails generator to build an entity and then when that doesnt scale we have to reconfigure the API. Overall not a fan of rails and the conventions it promotes.

It doesn't squeeze at all. It's something about measuring the speed of the blood flow optically and determining blood pressure based on that.
It doesn't necessarily work in Instagram's favor. If the 41% and 31% had a baseline of both feeling "ok" then you took 72% who had a baseline that is acceptable and polarized them into groups who felt better or worse. Is it more favorable to have more people who have a stable baseline or to have one group have a good baseline and another similar sized group with a bad baseline?
> Where can i get a job as a programmer where class A assholes can apply?

Only bad places, where you'll work with other miserable people. Most good places have a "No Assholes Allowed" rule.

> After years in the industry

If you're jumping through all these hoops after years, you might not be as good as you think you are. You make up for the ego hit by thinking interviews and the questions they ask are beneath you. When really, they're doing exactly what they're intended for. Weeding out asshole developers that think they're better than they are.
The one thing missing from the article is the thing the vaccines needed to have prior to approval: rigorous controlled double-blinded studies on infection rates. My guess would be that, to people interested in data-driven epidemiological decisions, this is considered pretty important. What the article provides instead is direct measurement of biological indicators of immune response, which while useful is not remotely the same thing.

This is, however, slightly unfair. You can't ethically have a rigorous controlled double-blinded study on infection rates of people who have already had SARS-CoV-2. This would require infecting some people with SARS-CoV-2, making others incorrectly think they had been infected, and then letting all of them go about their lives post-"recovery". The ethical problems are obvious.

That said, I'd frankly be fine with letting people with (state-)government-verified past COVID cases act as though they have been vaccinated for a period after recovery (not sure what the period should be). It would be one way to get the next best kind of data (an observational study of vaccinated and recovered patients). It would also incentivize people to get tested (so they get that government-verified past case). I'm not sure it's worth building that bureaucracy, but if that compromise were proposed I'd happily accept.
