It's easy to have the wrong mindset around productivity. If an individual thinks that doing more always leads to better results, they're going to have a bad time. I use productivity as a tool to have __more__ personal time and reduce stress. I really think about what I'm doing and what impact it has on my day.

From what I've seen, working in large corporate environments, is that people make their own productivity prisons doing things that no one asked for or working late hours on something no one is waiting for. Individuals create the stress for themselves by trying to standout or impress others.

If someone doesn't care about career progression, which I'm assuming is most of the anti-productivity crowd, they can get along just fine at almost any company doing only the minimum requirements of a role, have a fair work/life balance, and live a normal life.

If someone takes a mid six figure comp package from a major tech company, they should expect to work hard going into that role. Those jobs aren't for everyone. There are plenty of less stressful work environments in technology that will pay someone a decent salary and will be much less demanding.
yep, have made that mistake before. even turned in a write-up for a measurement project in a graduate level systems course that reported network performance dependent measurements with means over trials with error bars from standard deviations.

sadly, the instructor just gave it an A and moved on. (that said, the amount of work that went into a single semester project was a bit herculean, even if i do say so myself)

> myocarditis is being diagnosed and reported in children if not at the hospital?

The vast majority of people who visit a doctor are diagnosed with no hospitalization and the recommended course for most myocarditis cases is not hospitalization. If the recommendation were hospitalization then many more infected young males would be hospitalized based on myocarditis diagnosis.

I've seen several patients that were sicker the second time they got COVID, including people dying in their 20s and 30s. I can't speculate on what their antibody tests might have showed beforehand.

Why would you not get vaccinated?
The chances of infection for unvaccinated is 4 times of that for vaccinated. They have the same load - Wisconsin study for example, without control for symptoms. They have less symptoms - that is being tought by everybody everywhere. Putting these facts together is obvious.

When people appeal to morals it is an immediate big red sign for me as their appeal most probably have no backing or even goes directly against the facts, just like back in the USSR.
"Vaccines are safe and available yet we only just approved the use in children under 12"

From what I understand, different ages of people tend to have different sorts of immune responses. While vaccines are safe and effective, it takes some time to get the dosages right for children because of the way their immune system responds to things - at least, with a new vaccine. I'm not an expert, though, and I got this information while looking up variances in side effects (older folks get less than younger folks, and folks with two x chromosomes - mostly females - tend to get more as well).
Having safe, stable shelter would seem to be a prerequisite to helping people deal with drug addiction and mental illness.

I think it's kind of ridiculous to say you can't use _ because it is a valid identifier. You could just have the pipe _ shadow the identifier _ if said id is present. I suspect the bigger reason is because of underscore/lodash being in wide use.

Suppose you had "const _ = 42; /* more code / return x | f | g(11, _);". This would be semantically equivalent to "const _ = 42; / more code */ return ((_) => g(11, _))(f(x))". Since it is a new function, shadowing is not forbidden.

Abstract: The development of a cost-efficient and sensitive platform for biochemical analysis of blood serum and its realization in the low resource areas is one of the imperative challenges to establish a robust healthcare ecosystem. The present work demonstrates the design of a universal platform, capable of performing all biochemical analyses of blood serum by measuring the absorbance of light through the test sample. To verify the working of the developed platform, the concentration of glucose was estimated in blood serum. The detection of glucose has been accomplished in a linear range of 1 mg/dL to 400 mg/dL with detection of limit 1 mg/dL (R2 = 0.9875, n=3). The stability analysis demonstrates improved stability in the output as compared to the conventional analyzer with an average standard deviation of 0.32 calculated for n=5. Human blood samples were tested with the developed platform and the results were in line with the pathology laboratory. The developed platform offers the advantages of automation, low cost, portability, simple instrumentation, flexibility, and an easily accessible interface. Due to the use of a huge processing capability processor, the analysis time reduces to half a minute which yields fast analysis and high throughput. The stability and accuracy also improve owing to the employment of high-resolution electronics components. Overall, the proposed framework is an attractive solution to be incorporated in the low resource area as a universal platform for all biochemistry analysis simply by varying the wavelength of light and reagent.

> Also, in many cases, "proof of vaccination" includes a cell phone photo of the piece of paper they handed out when you got a vaccine, so as it stands, lying is pretty easy.

One critical difference is that there will be legal consequences if you're using a fake proof of vaccination.

Overall not a fan of rails and the conventions it promotes.

To each their own. No framework will have the right conventions to see a complex project through 100% with zero customization or deviation. I'm still fond of Rails though I haven't used it in a while. Nothing I've encountered since -- Node, Sprint Boot, Scala+TwitterServer, various Kotlin libs/frameworks -- has been as productive or appealing for me as Rails. You don't know what you've got until it's gone, as they say.

You probably don't even need to photoshop your name on the card. In most scenarios you could take a small and slightly blurry photo of anyone's card, bring it up on your phone to show someone, and they'll shrug and accept it as evidence that you're vaccinated.
I completely agree. However, raising the minimum wage does nothing to address the skills gap at the bottom. If anything, one could argue raising the minimum wage would reduce incentive to acquire better skills and get a better job. Why put in the work to level up if those better jobs don't pay appreciably better anyway?

Do we really want to start extolling the virtues of German culture and its obsession with virtues such as orderliness, obedience, hygiene?

German culture is all nice and tidy until someone, necessarily a deviant, needs to shout out: “STOP! We’re committing a crime!”

Teutons don't tolerate deviants.
Loyal units need experience too.

Experience is only offered upon killing units, or in battles. Either way, it means moving a Loyal unit to the frontlines to "feed" them experience.

The risk is inevitable. If the loyal unit misses, and you have a bad turn (Ex: Elf Shaman missed the slow attempt), then you just hope the AI also has a bad turn on the counter-attack. If anything, you need to do this earlier rather than later (so that your Loyal units reach Tier3 or Tier4 at a faster rate, so you really take advantage of the Loyalty bonus).

Your slow will eventually miss. Wraiths and other undead will "luckily" self-heal themselves to max HP. Orc Warriors (A common Tier2 Orc) will "luckily" one-shot your (lower-HP) Tier2 units, and royally mess up your line. Your opponent will get breakthroughs as a result, and your loyal units will die. Even if you optimized your unit placement on the highest evasion tiles (70%), with the highest HP values with the maximum support across the line (ie: positioned in such a way that only 2 units can ever attack one unit), these events will happen.

Whether you choose to restart-from-last-save at this point is up to you, but the next chapter will only be more difficult.

Look at Gibraltar's daily spike well after they acheived 99% full vaccination status on June 1.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/gibraltar/...

Only lockdowns brought it back down which creates other problems around immune health in the population. (see NZ for example, RSV is clogging up the hospitals now with young kids who had degraded their immune systems the last year or so with all the hardcore lockdowns there)
Triage exists for a reason, and it seems reasonable to apply that here. If you want to accept the risks of your “lifestyle choice”, you should be the one who faces the consequences by being lower in priority for healthcare. If I exercise and eat right, when I need an ICU bed I should be given priority over someone who accepted the risk of eating fast food three times a day, surely?
> Why would I be more likely to mutate state in sending a message to an object than I would be applying a procedure to a struct?

I think most people don't think about objects in terms of sending a message to them, but in terms of calling a method on them. OOP in JS, currently, revolves a lot around mutable objects. JS itself revolves a lot around mutability. Some people are trying to change that, at least by getting proper support for the alternative. The pipeline operator is part of that.
I assume insurers could choose to not cover the treatment costs for a condition if you decided not to get vaccinated. Exposing someone to the full cost of an avoidable expense is a solid method of disincentivizing reckless behavior during a pandemic (smoking and obesity are not comparable).

If you can prove vaccination status, of course, costs should still be covered for hospitalization, as you made the very little effort to derisk.
Good catch, I just updated it to 16% off. (600 - 500) / 600 = ~16.7% rounded down.

> Which rate? The rate you failed to mix the balls? The rate you failed to count a ball? The rate you misclassified the ball? The rate you repeatedly counted the same ball? The rate you started with an incorrect count? The rate you did the math wrong? etc

This is called modelling error. Both Bayesian and frequentist approaches suffer from modelling error. That's what TFA talks about when mentioning the normality assumptions behind the paper's GLM. Moreover, if errors are additive, certain distributions combine together easily algebraically meaning it's easy to "marginalize" over them as a single error term. In most GLMs, there's a normally distributed error term meant to marginalize over multiple i.i.d normally distributed error terms.

I don't understand the point of your argument. Please clarify it.

> Here’s the experiment and here’s the data is concrete it may be bogus but it’s information. Updating probabilistic based on recursive estimates of probabilities is largely restating your assumptions.

What does this mean, concretely? Run me through an example of the problem you're bringing up. Are you saying that posterior-predictive distributions are "bogus" because they're based on prior distributions? Why? They're just based on the application of Bayes Law.

> Black swans can really throw a wrench into things

A "black swan" as Taleb states is a tail event, and this sort of analysis is definitely performed (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_value_theory). In the case of Bayesian stats, you're specifically calculating the entire posterior distribution of the data. Tail events are visible in the tails of the posterior predictive distribution (and thus calculable) and should be able to tell you what the consequences are for a misprediction.
What if instead of optimizing for "targeting" a "specific virus", i.e. score political points against a virus, you wanted to optimize for saving lives? That doesn't even come into your calculations, does it?

I believe we'd see more people choose to be vaccinated if we'd:

* Stop lying

* Stop threatening

* Stop mocking people when they die
> Note, this does NOT require some authority forcing the entire population take specific tests.

The red herring is replying to someone saying that a lot of tests would have to be done with a denial that people would be forced to take tests.

Also, this would require that some authority would need to have those people take specific tests, monitored and tracked in a specific way. Allowing people to claim to have had it based on their own documentation and choice of tests is like allowing job applicants to supply their own drug test results: not completely dependable.

I'd be all for those people getting a vax pass. I wish all of the willfully unvaccinated would get covid tomorrow, and the rest of us could stay home for a week.
I’d argue it may be possible in the short term but not in the long term unless the idea is to raise your child like a house cat.
Genuinely surprised so many people with mild or no symptoms even seek hospital care

In Germany generally you go to your GP before being forwarded to a hospital, just walking to the emergency ward is strongly discouraged.

I've always wondered about these scenes on House where the hospital rooms are full of people with the cold, is that really common? Personally I've always really tried to avoid the hospital unless strictly necessary if only because I was kind of afraid of catching something that's worse than what I came in for.
Without data, these are biased assumptions.
Good thing the only thing that matters is death, not any other issue.

Good thing your source[1] didn't do something fundamentally dishonest like compare one rate in the general population to a rate in an already selected group.

Good thing your source[1] didn't make a big deal about the huge multiplier difference between two exceedingly small numbers (0.01622% vs 0.00261%)

Good thing your source[1] didn't falsely imply "hospitalization" and "myocarditis " as equivalently severe, ignoring that the myocarditis responded well and quickly to treatment[2] whereas COVID does not, leading to long hospital stays and/or ventilation and/or death.

> It’s the cheapest way out of this thing.

I think we should be wary of those "easy way outs", because nothing seems to indicate that vaccines are a panacea. They are of course the best that us adults can do right now to protect ourselves, but if restrictions get too relaxed simultaneously, then we ve just created pressure on the virus to create a variant that will escape completely. This is a marathon and we are not yet done. a combination of vaccines with distancing will be required for a long time. Humans are adaptible, the earlier we start the better.

(Also, we shouldn't argue in absolutes, it s not going to fix anything)

Vaccines don't 100% prevent infections, but there's strong evidence that they both significantly reduce the rate at which people become infected and, should they become infected, the rate at which they can retransmit the virus to others, and we have no reason to believe they wouldn't do the same in children. It's not an all-or-nothing affair.

I assume this is why the parent poster said "I suppose this shouldn't disappoint me". People shouldn't need a thank you email, but it's apparently valuable enough to at least one person to make a difference for them. How people actually behave and react to things is what you should design around, not how people should ideally behave. Given this (admittedly extrapolating from one data point), and because the cost of configuring a bot to send thank you emails is so low, I'd probably set it up if I were accepting donations.
Long Covid in children is an established phenomenon. Which you would know if you had typed "long Covid in children" into Google and looked quickly through the top results.

I would also suggest that if you want "robust, repeated, falsifiable studies" for "effects of a virus/disease discovered less than 2 years ago" you have set your standard implausibly high. That's not how medicine progresses for urgent things, because it's fantastically negligent. Contrast the rapid global Covid response, which saved millions of lives, with the incredible foot-dragging surrounding AIDS in the 80s. If we had waited for perfect knowledge before taking action, hospitals would have been stacking bodies in the streets.

At this stage you get papers saying things like, "A quarter of children experienced persistent symptoms months after hospitalization with acute covid-19 infection, with almost one in ten experiencing multi-system involvement. [...] Our findings highlight the need for replication and further investigation [...]". [1]
