yeah small note to add here: the last pediatric vaccine (garadasil / HPV) went through a decade of clinical trials before approval
I merely explain where the pipeline operator came from and why it's preferred in F#: because it plays nicely with immutable data and the Hindley-Milner type inference algorithm. I make absolutely no comment about the sanity of adding anything to JS (or, indeed, of using JS at all).
Thing is: It was doable 10-30 years ago (depending on region).

I have neighbors who bought their $3m homes when they weren't even $800k (adjusted for inflation). And since salaries + stocks have grown much faster than their property tax burden (basically frozen) - they're all retiring early.

People have expectations based on what they grew up with or what their parents grew up with or what they saw people achieving as they grew up. Can't blame them when they get out into the market and finally start saving that they're gonna be 10 years behind for the rest of their life...
I got vaxxed as soon as I reasonably could and I never want to get COVID, but if that's true it really does seem insulting to require vaccination for people who can prove they already had COVID. It's like they did get vaccinated but picked a much more difficult/risky and much more effective way to do so -- if that were their intention (and they avoided spreading it once they got it), one could say it was a heroic choice...

At the same time though, I can imagine it would be really difficult/expensive to verify the proof of previous infection vs. verifying vaccination, and there could be the appearance of incentivizing anti-vaxxers to go infect themselves with COVID.
I work for "big pharma" - we were one of the companies that tried to make COVID vaccine. We failed - it worked but was not as good as Pfizer and others (though if those didn't work out, ours would still be worth it).

Nobody is disappointed that we didn't succeed. It would be great PR - "company X is saving the world" but it would not make us all that much money, considering how much world governments are paying for COVID vaccines.

I find the claims of big pharma manipulating to selling more vaccines dubious.
I'm a software developer right now but I've worked with DAWs as a producer for more than 5 years. You can't even imagine how frustrating is working with Digital Audio Workstation. One messy plug-in and you can lose hours and hours of work. Preset management is a nightmare, there are so many things that they could do to go forward, but the Sequencer market is stall and hasn't moved in years.

Imagine if they applied something similar to a git versioning system to music projects.... I don't even know if the VST interface can be used or if it's licensed somehow from Steinberg.

Also consider that there are no good audio drivers for Linux (like Asio for example) so you're almost forced to stay in windows or Mac...

No plug-in or DAW has a CLI... I could go on for hours...

I'm doing some digital audio processing for a startup idea and the only thing I've came up with is using sox trough a Python API.
> providing a reservoir for mutation.

That is FUD and you should be ashamed of yourself. I have listened to scared people trying to blame people that are not vaccinated for the fact that vaccines are not that effective at preventing infection and that mild breakthrough infections are common. Most of it done with rather troubling political undertones. Such is life in US 2021. I don't like it, but I'll not engage directly. Hopefully the FUD will pass.

But obviously the largest percentage of unvaccinated people are children, which do not NEED the vaccine, at least according to the data we have so far. I will not tolerate scapegoating of kids. Please get a grip.
The answer is pretty simple - the moment authorities start saying "well, natural immunity is probably just as good as vaccination, we'll accept that as equal to vaccination for passport purposes", a huge segment of the population who's on the fence about getting the vaccine might just opt to wait until they're infected naturally, or, even worse, get infected purposefully (EG, chicken pox parties). Which leads to more deaths and outbreaks.

In a perfect world, everyone would understand that getting the vaccine is the appropriate choice of action and we could accept natural immunity from people who were infected before vaccines were available - but unfortunately we're forced into playing these weird games where authorities have to try to incentivize people who aren't behaving rationally - which in turn leads to further distrust from people on the fence.
The downside is that if you already have a strong immune response you will have a much harsher reaction to the vaccine, basically four days out of commission. A reaction that’s rather comparable to breakthrough COVID.
...So they lobby for 'pro-business' laws to limit the downside of such events.
That would be very surprising if true.
At first they would pay down debt, and buy a car that actually works, and other stuff that should have always just been available to them. Once that debt is paid off, and the car is not a constant source of worry - they have money to do those other things. For example going on a trip is the same type of "luxury" as shoppers, life coaches, etc - its spending money on something other survival.
Maybe Americans should consider an apartment. I make only a small amount over the average and with my bf we can easily afford a nice 2 bedroom apt anywhere.

Every time I propose this people think I’m on another planet but the lifestyle is really great tbh.
Follow the money, lots of money to be made by dissuading people from becoming vaccinated, so they are more likely to need expensive medical services.
You kid, but that's a violation of your privacy as well and shouldn't exist.

That change in the US at least was also very contentious when it occurred, and subsequently every time the legal age was changed.

But say we decide that that is OK, which it appears most people have, they're still not really comparable because one is based on the assumption that you're too young to get inebriated responsibly, whereas this is proof you've had a medical procedure performed on your body. I'm sure you can see the glaring difference, one is significantly more extreme and invasive than the other.
On the other hand, the UK vaccination advisory board does not recommend vaccinating under-16s because they consider there to be inadequate evidence the risks outweigh the benefits. (Despite considerable and very public political pressure to come to a different conclusion, and if I remember correctly even some of the members who were most sceptical about it resigning and being replaced.)
I agree with pretty much everything you say. I just think that space travel's place in the prioritization of science funding is way too high. They are "eating for free" on the glory days of NASA.
Pretty sure you can get a nice apartment - just not the US dream house.
I can guarantee there was more waste in the form of billions of money lost and human productivity and lives lost from locking down the world than if we just told scared people to stay at home at the beginning of the pandemic.
I had a friend think he had it 3 times (and the third time was probably legitimate). The symptoms the first two times? Typical cold symptoms. No fever. No major cough. No real loss of taste. I had another friend do the same thing.

This was back before tests were widely available. I have genuinely had it twice myself, but people largely have though for the past two years that if they were sick it was COVID.
Pros vs cons of taking natural immunity into account:

Pros:

- An extremely small number of people who would get side effects now wouldn’t

Cons:

- Logistics: you now need to perform a blood test on every single person in the country, process the results, send out vaccine invites based on the results, and set up some system where people can prove their blood test results. None of the aforementioned components currently exist. You also need to come up with some arbitrary threshold for “enough” antibodies.

- Cost: the blood test costs 4x as much as the vaccine, from what I see in other comments

- Incentives: you risk incentivising vaccine skeptics to deliberately contract COVID
>I have heard second hand many doctors are downplaying the importance of the vaccine for people under 18

The vaccine is not important for people under 18.

Only 412 people age 17 or younger in the US have died from covid. [0]

Teenage boys are six times more likely to suffer from heart problems from the vaccine than be hospitalised from Covid-19. [1]

I somewhat agree.
Of course they don't have to. As I said, they encourage you to think in the object-orientation "encapsulate state and teach it how to mutate itself on demand" way, but you don't have to use them that way.
Except orbits are neither that precise nor that static, without active control.

Look up the "Gabbard diagram" of any orbital collision. Some of the debris ends up in rather elliptical orbits, with an apogee considerably higher than the orbit of either object that went into the collision. That means it presents a risk to satellites even in higher orbits.

Also, orbits decay. The atmosphere doesn't just stop at a line; there's thinner and thinner wisps of gas out there, ever so slightly dragging on orbiting objects. So higher orbits slowly get lower, and lower orbits rapidly get lower still, until the orbit turns into an entry trajectory.

The properties of the exosphere are fickle and change rapidly, influenced by the solar wind and other forces. So while it's certain that orbiting objects experience drag, it's very uncertain how _much_ drag.

An object in an elliptical orbit spends some of its time with a very low perigee and thus a lot of atmospheric drag and thus its orbit changes rapidly in ways that're hard to predict, even if its apogee is high enough that it also crosses orbits of interesting things that're trying to avoid it. And the less predictable it is, the harder it is to avoid.

Ah. Makes sense. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about AWS. Very powerful stuff they’ve got, both for small and large apps. Best of luck with your project!
We bought in December at a price that felt too high, but now with all the sales on the block there’s enough comps this month to suggest we could re-appraise with 20% or 22% of more of debt-to-equity.

Having said that I also know more friends/family trying to have kids and move into a home. I also see friends with parent’s in retirement living alone in large homes too afraid to downsize in this market.

I went remote in 2018 living in a Brooklyn studio. My wife and I utilized remote work to move to a smaller city in late 2019, living off a substantially smaller portion of wages, seriously snowballing debt payments and increasing savings. Had we just bought in Jan 2020 we would have saved a bunch. The market was wild then too and already not cooling down here through that winter as it usually would. Little did we know 2020 would bring a pandemic into the mix.
Also why DnD has different weps that roll 1d20 vs 2d10, 2d6 vs 3d4 etc. Some things are designed to be swingier with more crits but more critical failures, where others are designed for consistancy.
The productivity of a remote worker does not depend on their location, obviously.

If you WFH in NYC then move to Idaho while still working the same job then your productivity has not moved at all. If the employer tries to lower the salary it is simply because they think they can.
The basic example is a janitor in the early 1900s is only marginally less productive then a current day one while an accountant from the same time is an order of magnitude more productive now (excel/etc).
Aluminum is pretty great for recycling. And plastic bottles can work okay, but most types of plastic use are going to end up in the garbage.
Thanks. Maybe the data in Google is lagging or is showing percentage out of full population?

Further, it has to be |> to disambiguate from bitwise OR. So yet another symbol to confuse readers.

And the placeholder can't be _ as that's a valid identifier. The first issue on the tracker is the bike shedding thread about what the placeholder symbol should be, and it's neither _ nor ^, but instead probably something like ^label.

You make it sound like Apple won't spend billions in advertising that 20% brighter display. People don't get excited for no reason. Someone somewhere is engineering that nudge from apathy to interest.
Is it though? If it’s a personal choice, why is drunk driving banned, and why do we have seatbelt and helmet laws?

If you know that you feel sick, and haven’t been vaccinated, yet go to work at a nursing home and end up spreading a breakthrough infection that kills an immunocompromised resident, is that not manslaughter? How is it different from knowingly getting in a car when intoxicated, and then causing a deadly accident?

It works perfectly.
The same Israeli study found that among previously infected people, those who received a single dose of the vaccine were half as likely to be reinfected, compared to those who received zero doses.
As I mention at the end of the article, it's definetly an almost laughable buzzword. I suspect whoever created it almost felt awkward to use it. I do however think there is concrete meaning behind it.

Databricks and Snowflake are both pulling it off, giving a combination of an RDBMs like experience and a data lake experience. If it can be pulled off, it strips away a lot of complexity in how big companies manage data.
It can be defeated by engaging in sarcasm. It can be defeated by using right-wing language to construct a left wing argument (one of the most straight-forward ways to persuade someone is to speak their language), one can twist an argument entirely by minor adjustments to speech.

The issue here is a simple one, that in communication, language cannot be divorced from context. Laughing at a birthday party means you're having fun. Laughing at a funeral means you're distressed. Laughing itself has no meaning, and words themselves have no meaning. You don't 'pick up' signals, you interpret something as a signal within a frame of reference.

This methodology is right in every case where it is trivial, and thus unnecessary, it is likely wrong in every case where it matters. And that is an actively bad combination.

>If you own a supermarket and want to pay a decent wage, bad news for you. Over long time you are likely to loose against your competitor who doesn't share your sentiment.

If you can market this "decent wage" to your customers successfully enough that they buy in, then you can continue along this trajectory. (As a side note, most people here probably wouldn't take you up on that "decent wage" retail job, in part because they don't consider the wages very impressive. On the other hand, people who work at the "unscrupulous" grocery stores have agreed to those wages. So "decent" might have a sliding scale.)
I was surprised that their video showed a guy strapping his iPhone onto a moped, considering that they just announced that mounting an iPhone on motorcycles or even electric mopeds/scooters can mess up the optical image stabilization system.

In your example you're mutating v, which is something people try to avoid these days, as immutable data is easier to work with. There's also a good chance you can't find a good name for v that fits what it is at every step. A good part of the pipeline operator is that you don't have to name every step. Sometimes there's just no good name.
While I'm sure there are digital editions for sale and probably a few physical copies at your local library, if it's being gouged, the guy's already dead, and his book is not one of the few hundreds of books on the internet to have gone uncopied. It's truly wherever you can find books.
This is just anecdotal stories requiring a grain of salt.

Now, many of the anecdotes are about people who had health problems close soon after the incident, and those health problems being blamed on the exposure is reasonable.

There is very little about anyone who was completely fine until 2020; and those situations are hard to prove to 9/11.

E.g. Daniel Foley:

> "Daniel’s annual medical screenings never showed ailments until the cancer was diagnosed in 2019, four days after he crawled into a burning Bronx building to rescue two children, which earned him the Fire Department’s Medal of Honor, Ms. Foley said."

He was still entering burning buildings in 2019, but we're sure the cancer was due to activity in 2001?

In spite of negative medical screenings 2001-2018?

These are cherry-picked cases; you can't just locate people in the intersection of the set "worked at ground zero" and the set "has health problems today or has died" and use their very existence to make causality claims.
I had never seen Hack's pipeline before, which uses an explicit marker ^ to indicate which argument the piped object goes to. This seems like a really cool idea--you can wire functions together any way you want without having to create lambdas. Do any other languages use anything like this?
>the only moral choice is taking it.

And walking around after that still spreading the virus because you wouldn't feel the symptoms. The vaccinated people look to be the main source of infection these days.
It does count in Switzerland.

> People who have recovered – what to do

> You can get a COVID certificate if the COVID infection was confirmed with a positive PCR test and occurred no more than 180 days ago.

> You can request the COVID certificate from your cantonal authority using an online form. It will then be sent to you by post.

> Please note:

> As the COVID certificate is compatible with the EU Digital COVID Certificate, the standards applying to the EU certificate must also serve as a basis for the Swiss certificate. This means that a certificate is only issued to people who have recovered following a positive PCR test.
From this article:
“When the vaccine was rolled out the goal should have been to focus on people at risk, and that should still be the focus,” says Memoli. Such risk stratification may have complicated logistics, but it would also require more nuanced messaging. “A lot of public health people have this notion that if the public is told that there’s even the slightest bit of uncertainty about a vaccine, then they won’t get it,” he says. For Memoli, this reflects a bygone paternalism. “I always think it’s much better to be very clear and honest about what we do and don’t know, what the risks and benefits are, and allow people to make decisions for themselves.”

The authors here agree (I’d really like professionals to discuss this for it’s highly disturbing; but obvious why it wasn’t communicated to subjects)

I also journal since multiple years, and I feel that this many questions create too much pressure.

My best approach was simply writing down bullet points of stuff which I found noticeable.
Barcharts across categorical data :P

That is, the first bar is "Our Number" and the second bar is "Competitor's number."
The headline in the article is "Soyuz mission launches 34 OneWeb satellites to orbit". OneWeb doesn't have a launcher of its own and doesn't intend to build one, as far as I know.
So hacking human rights activists is ok, but hacking US citizens crosses the line? WTF?
orc warriors are t2 and won't oneshot ever it's own t2 equivalent elvish hero, sure, line infantry will kill lot of t1 specialists, but that's expected: wesnoth has a lot of attrition by design, as it's a necessity, because just piling units leads to long, boring turns

anyway, elves have piles of slow, which is the natural counter to high damage low attack units.
I don’t buy the “unvaccinated as a reservoir for mutation” line of thinking. For one, there are many, many countries with a low vaccination rate and it’s going to be like that for a long time.

Also, I haven’t see data on what the R0 is from vaccinated person to vaccinated person with Delta. If it’s above 1 then all we’re doing is creating immense selective pressure for vaccine escape.
> Doesn't facebook & co design their service to be addictive, or, erm, "maximize engagement"?

Is there something on the internet that isn't designed as such?

Maybe weather apps... Everything else, from wikipedia to github to stackoverflow to the site you're on now is yet another automated massively multiplayer kudo ranking system. The only meaningful difference appears to be demographic; Facebook is one of the places 'teen girls' spend their time. All I see here is evidence that clicks can still be had by ascribing some concern to the fate of young women[1].
