>Side effects can affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days.

> Common side effects: [Tiredness, Headache, Muscle pain, Chills, Fever, Nausea]

>Side effects after your second shot may be more intense than the ones you experienced after your first shot. These side effects are normal signs that your body is building protection and should go away within a few days.

I don't have a specific study for prior immunity vs. second shot, but neither COVID nor the vaccine are magic - both behave in a more or less standard manner. I've seen references to studies though:

>Dr. Erin Morcomb, a family medicine physician at the Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse, Wis., and head of its COVID-19 vaccination team, confirms that the reactions can vary based on your health history. "What we've seen in studies is that the second dose does tend to have a little bit more potential to cause side effects than the first dose, but for people who have had COVID-19 infection previously and then recovered, they are at higher risk of having those same side effects after their first dose," she says.

> German culture is not as feircly selfish

Oh, let's please not delve too deeply into "German culture".

Update/PS: Maybe the downvoters can explain how the unselfish German culture works when it comes to things like considering Turks to be equally valuable human beings.
So it is a personal choice. Would you be OK with the consequences of qualifying it as such?

What if an unvaccinated (by personal choice) person comes down with COVID and has to be hospitalized or - worse - put into ICU. Do you think they would be OK if doctors, faced with the crunch of beds, place them into a second tier, behind all the breakthrough cases? Hospitals do not do that currently, but this is not unheard of (e.g. bumping smokers and alcoholic patients in organ donation queues).

I am willing to accept this is a personal choice if people making that choice accept responsibility for it.
This is true, we have the ability to house every homeless person. There are more second vacation homes than homeless people. Why not just move them in? I'm not even talking about the ones available for rent - just the ones sitting there empty.
I suspect that using past positive tests would make things even more complicated. It’s very easy to underestimate how difficult things are at the “tens of millions of people” scale, particularly for governments.

> You have a government whose vaccine policies are grounded in proper science and medical ethics, reducing the number of vaccine hesitant individuals

Circular argument, no? This point is only relevant to whether natural immunity should be correct if you accept that your own position (natural immunity should be taken into account) is correct.
While I posted above about being on the fence about vaccinating my kid, I was in a similar case as you. I'm in my late 40's, and I came down with covid early in the pandemic, before general availability of PCR tests, but I did manage to get an antibody test, and I was positive.

I did get vaccinated because the vaccine reinforces antibodies which are correlated with fewer complications upon subsequent infection. There are some epitopes on sars-cov-2 which closely resemble parts our own clotting factors and interferons, and the randomized nature of our immune response can lead to some less desirable antibodies being present. So, it seems a vaccine only helps.

One thing about getting vaccinated after recovery from covid, though, is that both the first and second doses knock you on your butt, not just the second.

The risk is more around autoimmune conditions like asthma and allergies. If the immune system doesn't start fighting off a variety of pathogens from an early age then it might go haywire later.

SF housing prices are out of control, because faang can pay 400k per year (plus stock). If you are open to moving away from the bay that 1mil will buy an amazing property outright in most parts of the country, or a really nice home and a big amount towards retirement...
Alternatively you can stick in the Bay Area and adjust to your high wage being in line with a high cost of living (and consider the million dollars as a sizable down payment).
I think another commenter got it right. This is a refinement year anyway.

If anything, it's the screen tech that could be holding them back, there's supply constraints in that chain as well.

Skip this book. Pinker is not an historian or an anthropologist and AFAIK his views are not accepted by most in the field. He does produce some "data"--cherry-picked to support his straw-man hypotheses--but spends a lot more time filling in the gaps of his theory with anecdotes and his own idle speculation.

Here is a taste from Ch 2 (p. 88):

Recall, for example, Eckhardt’s claim that hunter-gatherers had "little to fight about." But organisms that have evolved by natural selection always have something to fight about. Hobbes noted that humans in particular have three reasons for quarrel:

Yes, his response to another book on the same subject written by an actual historian is "natural selection" and Thomas Hobbes. Hobbes might be the most cited luminary in the entire chapter dealing with the paleolithic.

Despite being a psychologist, Pinker seems to constantly fall prey to the availability heuristic, drawing considerable evidence from the last 100 years, and most evidence from the medieval to modern periods. Only cursory attention is given to humans pre-9000 BCE, despite this comprising over 95% of the modern human timeline. One piece of evidence he does bring up is the ~9000 BCE Kennewick Man, where he notes a possible spear wound. Unmentioned is that this man had very modern proportions, owing to a nutritious diet that would have rivaled that of most humans until 100 years ago.

By limiting his scope to the period following the agricultural revolution, he misses that metrics of nutrition, disease, mortality, working hours, and inequality all declined with the rise of centralized states and have only recently recovered to paleolithic levels (not working hours) (for height proxy, see [0], for Y chromosome proxy of equality, see [1]). Pinker's proposed "civilizing" effect of states in reducing human violence is mostly taken from examples of inter-state violence without much consideration for intra-state violence and the power of states to control and extract work from their populations under the threat of violence.

Indeed, his "better angels" message is ultimately authoritarian: our ancestors were savage but we are moral because powerful states give us no other choice. If you believe that you may be able to overlook his many logical leaps.

> It is also terrible design - having data in two places means you now have to implement access control, logging, auditing, data access and so on twice.

I've understood and implemented differently. With Spectrum (or Polybase for SQL Server / Synapse), you can extended into the data lake. Copy over aggregate/curated data or something you need to special use cases on. Leave the structured, columnar data within the cheap storage. You pay per scan but it is cheap (at least to a point).

Also, Databricks took the Lakehouse moniker and sprinted with it. AWS was late to the game from what I saw (at least for marketing terminology adoption).
This is not inherent to apartment buildings and is probably mostly an issue with the smaller wooden ones. I live in a 30 level building and haven’t heard a single sound from any neighbours. Turned my music up to what I used to in a house, went in to the hallway and could hardly hear a single thing from directly outside my door.

Probably the easiest way to find out before buying is to just stand in the lobby and ask the next person who walks past what they think.
Look pal, the internet is a tool for exchanging information. Just like the air is a medium for talking in real life. Any sort of legislation like "oh no, you need a XCORP(R) CERTIFIED CHECKBOX(TM)" is just getting in the way and forcing us to use some moron's garbage tech, much like a website requiring SMS pins to log in. When I was 13 and got porn it was by p2p programs. I sure as hell don't want to go back in time and have them already banned and gimped in 2000.

> This is a hyperbolic statement. Even if you are just talking about internet regulation.

It was intended hyperbole, but it's also mostly right. Rules are for fools.

> This is an extreme example but it illustrates a point.

An extreme imaginary example is needed because the internet is harmless.

> You can say the same thing about websites that prey on children, or the elderly.

There's no such thing. That is an American myth. They are a bunch of muppets who tell stories to each other about how a new type of monster ate their cookies. I'm not even exaggerating. It's an American passtime to think up new "injustices" to be solved.

I watch porn too, staring at 13, and never had a problem because I've always been healthy in general. Sex feels good even alone. It's not likely to cause physical health problems any more than any other physical activity. All those people on NoFap are losers coping by blaming their problems on some specific thing. Society is full of losers, it's not hard to find thousands of them to go on a dedicated forum to circlejerk each other.

Maybe I'm workaholic, but do people like friction in their work? I mean, we should certainly push back against anyone that thinks that we should increase productivity through sheer force of will (or hours, or sacrificing mind and body). But I've always found the meta-work to be the most interesting part of the work. Especially if it means I can spend more time in a state of productive flow.

Loyal units are aplenty and don't have any upkeep costs.

The main campaign absolutely encourages you to abuse your loyal units and promote them to tier3 or tier4. Losing a loyal unit is devastating however, because you pretty much only get one of each type ever (except the mermen: IIRC you get like 6 loyal mermen in the default campaign).
no, public health isn't a personal choice: public health exists to apply population wide, standardized (possibly tailored somewhat) principles and actions and their loss function is to minimize overall suffering.

Personal choice goes against that, because many people's personal choices will be selfish or convenient to them while putting other people in harm's way. Within a large society, we must be cognizant of the likely impact of our decisions, but history shows that most people will not do so, and therefore must be compelled, legally, to take actions which are for the best of society.

Some freedom is defined and assigned at the federal, not personal level, with the goal of ensuring the national survives existential challenges (of which COVID may be one).

> Fauci lying about masks to try and conserve PPE supplies

Right. It provided proof that the authorities were willing to lie “for the greater good”. So at that point their statements cannot be seen as truthful but only “possibly good for us to believe” (they think).

And as soon as people accepted that possibility, combine that with their personal estimate of how often “greater good” might conflict with what they personally would consider the actual good of the country or themselves, and you have a situation where many people don’t comply with the recommendations.

Lying to the public is a bad long term strategy for achieving cooperation.
Plus that's comparing one risk of the vaccine to one risk of the virus. You need a holistic comparison. COVID messes you up in lots of other ways too, ways in which the vaccine does not.
I'm curious how, in your mind, myocarditis is being diagnosed and reported in children if not at the hospital?

Heart inflammation is not typical in children or adolescents. This is not based on self-reporting.

Are you aware that UK regulators have not approved the vaccine for 12-15 year-olds (or any children younger), based on this risk, specifically?

Deliberate infection (or deliberate infection risk-taking) can be a valid concern, but I believe that validity depends a lot on the spreading characteristics of the virus in question. For SARS-COV-2 ca June 2020 I'd fully support the argument (the virus that was so bad at spreading from human to human that we thought that washing hands would make a meaningful difference). But with "chicken pox fast" delta, I doubt that it would make much difference. Anti-vaxxers will go through their first contact infection pretty soon wether they try or not. Just like the vaccinated. Or rather: in a very different way, rarely but still too often.
How do all these people hack into phones all the time? Is there just a cache of 0Days that they have access to or do they just get really clever with phishing attacks?

How does it compare to NixOS?
There are many things that may just not get done at all though if they can’t be automated, or if automating them would be too costly. Stocking shelves in particular is probably one of those things. It’s hard to argue the labor is worth $26 an hour based on the total productivity increase of the corporation if they would just stop having you do it at all if it cost that much.

The idea that an individual workers productivity is derived from the total productivity of the business isn’t entirely accurate. In the case of stocking shelves, the value is mostly aesthetics and executing a marketing strategy. The value of stocking shelves is based on the value that stocked shelves provide, which doesn’t increase linearly with the productivity of a store.
I wish I could say that if authorities hadn't lied about, say, masks or this stuff with natural immunity, things would gone a lot better and people would have behaved much more rationally about COVID, but I don't think that's true.

I've got family in a small town in the south - the countermeasures they took against COVID basically amounted to Wal-Mart closing for a weekend in March. Most of the people there had made their choice about how they were going to respond to COVID before any lies or omissions by authorities came to light. Unless you're saying these lies and omissions are part of a broader pattern from authorities that extends past COVID, in which case I might agree with you.
Chained function calls only work if the types in question have immutable functions that support chaining. This is the case for arrays with `map`, `filter` and for promises with then/catch.

But it's not the case for the majority of libraries, including many of the builtin types.

A pipeline operator is generic and can be used everywhere, without requiring the API to be built around chaining. This can often lead to much nicer, more readable code.

I think this is something you only start to really appreciate once you've used it a bit, like in Elixir or F#.

Obviously this is much more natural in a functional language, where everything is immutable anyway.
If you'd like to appear serious, I'd recommend doing a little basic googling before asking anybody for a source. Maybe this isn't true for you, but there are plenty of querulous people who ask for information that are not sincerely interested, but just work to wear out their opponents.
We could make individuals pay for it. Heck, we could tax it, make them pay through the nose for it, and reinvest it back into vaccinations. Up the costs even more if they want to be retested. Since it's not medically necessary, their insurance shouldn't have to cover it, meaning the costs won't have to be borne by everyone else.
I do agree that they shouldn't cater to TypeScript or Flow or anything specifically, but I appreciate that they think about the impact of new changes on typing JavaScript. I find in general that code that can easily be statically typed is easier to understand and maintain.
Good thing people under 18 are never in contact with people over 18.
Well, it is possible that this just isn't the game for you.

I don't really think it is an issue that there aren't any T1 units that can easily beat this T2 one. Depending on where in the campaign you are, a T2 unit might be a set-piece encounter that you have to spend multiple turns wearing down. Of course the map designer can do a bad job and throw too much at you, but that's the cost of having mostly community designed maps I guess.
Do some people simply photoshop their names onto the cards and show them on their phones ? Is it really such a dumb system?
You're right, you don't deserve your information to be out there.

However, Epik is a badly run registrar (as evident by the leaks), and the only reason any of us know about them is because they've worked so hard to attract unsavory customers. Registrars mostly offer the same service at the same price, and catering to unsavory clients is their only differentiating feature.

It's their entire marketing scheme (take on customers that legitimate registrars won't), so it's not surprising that they're actually pretty illegitimate.

I'm sorry your data was leaked, and I'd take this as a sign to move.
>This is what I'm responding to. It is incorrect. 120-40-45=35. 35 is far and away from almost twice as much as 40.

Actually, the calculation is 120 (total unvaccinated)-45 (children under 12)=75.

Whether or not someone has contracted the virus or not is irrelevant to whether or not they have (or can) receive a vaccination.

Whether or not those 40 million cases have some level of immunity is also irrelevant to whether or not they are vaccinated.
Glad to see that they are using Nix, was momentarily concerned about duplication of effort.

I've moved all my machines to NixOS, and even replaced Homebrew with Nix on my work OSX laptop(with home-manager). It's a rather refreshing system. Being able to use nix-shell and temporarily install one-off packages is also great.

The motivation behind this system sounds great.
You can say no but you will have to be tactful. A simple refusal might get you fired but asking for training or showing how you are inefficient at certain task, may send the message without embarrassing your boss.
This is a stringently normative claim that perpetuates the is-ought fallacy.

As far as I can tell, natural immunity relates to the variant. If you had Alpha, and then you encounter Delta, your natural immunity may help you a little, but possibly not enough to prevent hospitalization, since Delta is 2.5x more likely to cause a serious hospitalization. So natural immunity counts, but maybe not against powerful variants. And we should be doing whatever we can to prevent people from becoming infectious and spreading it further.

I watched broadcast news in America two days ago, in fact, though it's somewhat unusual (I prefer to read news). I do remember some pharma ads. I also remember ads for retail stores, chain restaurants, and tourism (an amusement park, a cruise line, and a more general "come visit place X").

Even if we presume that advertisers are the only stakeholders (forgetting, let's say, investors), I'd disagree that pharma has a controlling interest in the media.
Its clearly been established that transmission is happening in vaccinated people. If the R Naught is more than 1 then you don't get any benefit to vaccinating a population that isn't vulnerable. Only the vulnerable should be vaccinated for a virus that shifts rapidly like most respiratory virus do.

Here's the thing - if you are vaccinated and benefiting from less severe infection, you'll be out and about socially and transmitting this. It may be so mild that it would be hard to contact trace and know when to isolate. You may even have a more severe (deadly) variant that your just boosted system doesn't have a problem with. Whereas a naive population would be more prone to be bed-ridden, isolated and not transmitting this more harmful variant.

Then when your immunity wanes from the recent shot (5 months it seems per Israel's experience) this more harmful variant may in fact hurt the vaccinated population if they don't get the next booster in time and the booster isn't formulated for this variant.
Whenever the first word used to describe someone other than a belligerent in world war 2 is “fascist” I’m immediately skeptical of the author’s real intention.
I think you're underestimating the amount of shared production/tech between the two tiers of iPhones.

I'd bet the cost of changing over to USB-C on only the expensive tier would outweigh the current MSRP difference. I'd also bet USB-C still isn't cheap enough at iPhone mass market scale.

They're either waiting to use USB-C across all new models, or they're convinced wireless is worth waiting another few years.
