Just what the world (and especially, I hesitate to say as an outsider, the USA?) needs - more divisiveness!

While we're at it: obesity, lung cancer, liver issues, diabetes, skin issues, addiction issues, some mental health issues, broken bones! - all to varying extents often/can be caused by certain choices.

Ban them all, only what, acts of God and (resp. including) genetics treated here?

(Just to perhaps head off some of the hate: I've nothing to do with the US health system, and am 'fully' vaccinated.)

Well, you certainly underestimate Mr. Xi. He wants his state-owned enterprise to be so efficient and innovative that, it's useless to own the worse foreign assets. After all, Mr. Xi believe that his state owned enterprise will produce the best and the most desirable products on the market. Without foreign assets, the world would not open their market to Mr. Xi then. The same capitalism logic...

Your post is using scary anecdotes to try and persuade. That does not come off as trustworthy.
>The book is his personal revenge

The fact that you understand individual revenge against societies and know the creative shapes it can take, gives you credibility.

But I don't think there are a lot of people that manage to get up to that level of understanding of the complexity of human behavior and their relationship with society.

Maybe the problem is the bubble I surround me with, but for me you're the first to ever even bring it up as a concept, even though it is something that interests me, I love the duplicity and depth it takes, the veracity and creativity it can take, the willfulness it requires to exact your revenge and intentionally releasing your wrath on all of humanity in a constructive way.

But I suspect most people will have a hard time really understanding your comment.

Though as a current day Don Quixote, I do appreciate it. But don't think I don't know what I am. I just don't care about your judgement. You're just as insane and ridiculous as I am, I just embraced it with the same willful ignorance you're using to deny it. The fact that I will get punished for that is something I'm willing to accept in return for the bewilderment I cause. It's all a joke after all and I can't die more than a couple of times anyway.

Not like there's a whole lot else to do once you realize this is just a simulator and not a very good one at that. The fuck is this thing even supposed to do? Fucking AI has way too much processing power available if it's messing around to this degree.

I sometimes feel like I'm living on another planet to the rest of Australia being in an inner CBD apartment. Whenever I look at the market I see loads of things for rent at reasonable prices and loads of things for sale within my budget.

"Due to its size, it's incompatible with most torrent clients and many users will have difficulty downloading the data. When we're able, we'll release a more accessible version of the data."

As someone who downloads a lot of 4k HDR... Linux ISOs... (I have the highest level subscriptions to Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Spotify, Amazon, Crunchyroll, and probably more I'm forgetting but not all of my devices will get the 4k stream due to DRM requirements so depending where I want to watch it I'll just download it instead) I've tried about every popular torrent client I've heard of and none have had problems with 100 GB+ sized torrents (or even much larger). Is this really a thing or are a lot of people just using a 10 year outdated version of uTorrent or something?
You’re right I mistyped.
I've thought about the idea of allowing people to separately publish data and analysis. Right now, data are only published if the analysis shows something interesting.

Improving the quality of measurements and data could be a rewarding pursuit, and could encourage the development of better experimental technique. And a good data set, even if it doesn't lead to an immediate result, might be useful in the future when combined with data that looks at a problem from another angle.

Granted, this is a little bit self serving: I opted out of an academic career, partially because I had no good research ideas. But I love creating experiments and generating data! Fortunately I found a niche at a company that makes measurement equipment. I deal with the quality of data, and the problem of replication, all day every day.

Why should anyone should suffer consequences for threats of harm online? You agree that someone should be allowed to threaten, harass, intimidate and harm someone else through speech online?

Freedom of speech has never meant freedom from consequences of said speech.

As far as I see it, Epik's hack is a consequence of the speech they allow. No need for government, constitution and laws to see the cause and effect here.
I spend more time working around panda's strange isms than it takes me to write vanilla python that does the same thing. The index problems are not just a small annoyances, and sometimes can waste hours because of its awkward defaults. For example, its default in df.to_csv to write an index (without a column name..)! It doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever that reading a csv, then writing the csv would add a new column. I'm really tired of rerunning pandas code after I forget to turn that stupid default index setting off. Is that a small thing? Sure. But it had tons of small things like that.

Look at the receptor binding affinities in tables 1 and 3 (note that psilocin is the active metabolite of psilocybin, and that lower numbers indicate stronger binding) of this paper:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3110631/

LSD has about 8 times the affinity for 5-HT2A as D3, vs 25 times for psilocin. This doesn't tell us anything about how they act on the receptors, or the affinities of the endogenous ligands they're competing with, but I think it's unlikely the dopaminergic activity is significant for either drug.

Edit: This does cite a paper from Nichols' lab[1] which claims LSD has a second phase of action after the serotonergic phase, where its dopaminergic activity dominates. This strikes me as plausible... I'd have to read it.

>You think not mocking people when they die will increase vaccination rates? I honestly don't really know, but I'm skeptical.

Sure, say you had a parent or close family member die, then someone mocked that. How would you feel about that person? Would you listen to anything they had to say, or just want to punch them in the face?

>Adding social pressure to vaccinate is useful I think tho.

I don't know the answer, but shaming people and mocking them hasn't worked in the last 20 years; in fact it's made us even more partisan, divided and hateful towards each other. Why do you think it would work now?
This is borderline Onion material
There were presentation with numbers stratified by age, but I can't find it now. Unfortunately I still can't figure out how to track down everything that ministry of health releases over there. Closet one that I found is this one https://www.gov.il/BlobFolder/reports/vpb-12082021/he/files_... . Look at slide 7.

Also, if you we are talking about Simpson's Paradox, we need to go deeper. As you can see at same slide, vaccine efficiency going down, the further you get away from second shot. Hence, age cohort effectiveness is useless. You need age/vaccination time frames to judge real efficiency
That's more specialized: it can express

but not what you'd write within this pipe syntax as

The tradeoff is that it doesn't need some extra delimiter since the function call is what delimits it. Perhaps that's a better tradeoff, I'm not sure; but for sure we shouldn't have both.

Wages started to diverge from productivity at about the same time as the USA opened up to non-Western immigrants in 1965:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Ac...

"The act greatly increased the total number of immigrants as well as the share of immigrants from Asia and Africa."

Immigrants from poor countries are easier to exploit, and will accept lower wages/standard of living, because their 'new life in the new world' is still superior to their homeland.

A large number of the breakthrough cases I'm (personally) aware of are coming from unvaccinated kids to their parents. I would definitely vaccinate your child once it's approved for under 12 - for your whole family's sake. Then tell them they're doing it to protect their family and let them feel like a brave hero.
That's cool - you can also love playing Russian Roulette itself - that doesn't mean we have to make it legal for you to actually do that.

If the worst thing a vaccine mandate is doing is preventing you from getting your jollies from being an idiot I see no problem with enforcing a mandate.
Just an FYI it’s possible to spread the virus even with the vaccine, so it is best to isolate and quarantine regardless of vaccination status
> Half the comments are suggesting that the investor class is just pocketing the extra wealth.

That's were most economists, orthodox or heterodox (Neo-keynesian, MMT) agree, the capitalist class captured all productivity gains since the 70s. They disagree on the "how". And imho, you are right, they are not stealing wages, they are capturing wealth creation, it's not the same thing, and its pernicious because most of them don't understand how it works (and those who are able to try hard to not understand).

I used to think people were idiot to go after the banks ten years ago, but in fact, they were intuitively way more intelligent than a "rational" me. I just did not understood "how money works".
If there was a safe, low cost shot to prevent obesity I’d get it in a second.

The article clearly states that one of the reasons for shrugging natural immunity is politics, there are prominent GOP figures supporting natural immunity in lieu of vaccines. So being against natural immunity becomes not only a public health policy but a political attack on one’s opponents and applauded by the base. This is what Biden is doing.
It sounds like you just disagree with the tradeoff between liberty and safety, then. But it does lower transmission, and flashing a card before you go into a bar the same way you flash your driver's license isn't as onerous as the weird government pod scenario you outlined above.

This is probably how I'd describe wilfully unvaccinated people, yeah.

Also curious where you got the 100 million number from - AFAICT there have been 40 million covid infections in the US.
Obesity costs the US healthcare system 147 billion per year. We need Health Passports right now if cost is an issue. 5.7 over 3 months is nothing compared to the cost of obesity.
If you are skeptical and think "COVID involved" according to CDC might mean they could have died of other things but also happened to have COVID, then here is an exercise you should do: First, go to CDC and download all the death data for 2015-2020. Second, import this into your spreadsheet of choice and plot all of these deaths as 6 individual time-series plots with Jan-Dec as the X axis. Third, observe that the curves are nearly identical for 2015-2019, with the exception of a very slightly elevated curve for one of the flu seasons (I think it was the tail end of 2017 / start of 2018). Now observe that the curve for 2020 has several giant bumps in it that precisely correlate with the COVID surges in both size and shape. Calculate the area between that curve and any of the previous years. Now observe that it very, very closely matches the number the CDC is reporting as "covid involved" deaths for 2020.

I did this. This is quite convincing to me that the "COVID involved" deaths are not mis-categorized and they actually are related to COVID unless CDC is straight up fabricating death numbers on a massive scale. The stories about the COVID death categorizations being overstated are pure FUD.

* Flu, which has a particularly high mutation rate, does exactly that: in some years the flu vaccine is only 10% effective.

* Most viruses are less infectious than covid, especially delta covid.

* The covid vaccines are novel, targeting a specific protein. Natural immunity targets more than one protein, I've heard up to 28 in case of covid. This should make vaccine escape much harder, as it is significantly more difficult to mutate around 28 proteins at the same time. By 'natural immunity' I mean immunity gained by exposure to the natural pathogen, either through live infection or an inactivated pathogen vaccine.
It could be one input into a "utilitarian" model, which in my opinion describes all of the even remotely viable ethical frameworks.
This view seems to imply the double spend problem wasn’t really a problem after all, which seems to invalidate the reason why a peer to peer proof of work/stake system is implemented from the start.
A variable being mutable (let vs const) is not the same as the data referenced by that variable being mutable. There are languages that favor immutability (Elixir, for instance) that permit rebinding of local variables.

Yeah, I don't have kids so I'm sort of out of the loop on what's still in place at schools, like I said. Stuff like "social distancing" when they already have the kids sitting in rooms for hours at a time seems silly, just like masking and unmasking only to enter and leave bars.

Working conditions themselves have for a significant number of people changed dramatically.

Office workers have for the most part been thrown into hybrid or full WFH. If they're in the office, the office probably has desk spacing, or maybe it's been downsized, maybe capacity is limited.

If you're a cabbie, or a McDonalds employee, or a supermarket worker, you're probably under some sort of mask mandate or working with screens up.

There's Brexit (reduction in EU workers).

IR35 (reduction in self employment).

Uncertainty in general (if I take this job, will some random government diktat kill it or change it significantly in the next N months).

Oh, yeah, furlough.

Everyone I know that has any ability to avoid work is doing it at the moment. GP's have been retiring, the well off are on extended leave, those who can squeak it out on reduced hours are doing so, etc.

Personally, I see myself as being someone with a fairly strong work ethic, but over the past six months I've just packed it in entirely.

I can't be arsed at all, there is no sense in me throwing myself into my work because we could have a lockdown/vaccine passport/masky maskness/social distancing 2.0/whatever that makes my employer change everything thus pushing me into quitting. There are already mumblings of it in the media _again_ for the winter.

> The original quote from you was "I should be free to do as I want, regardless of harm to others". That paints a picture of people as monsters. As you later acknowledged, people are not monsters.

People may not be monsters, but quite a lot of them are just ordinary arseholes. You know, the kind of ordinary arsehole people who would thoughtlessly -- or, if they happened to come to think of it, wilfully -- do as they want, regardless of harm to others... As people so often do. Because, while they may not be monsters, many of them -- of us -- are certainly arseholes.

One gets the feeling someone has just realised this, and is on a desparate quest to convince themselves they aren't actually an arsehole... By convincing everybody else that no such arseholes exist. This is doomed to fail, because everybody knows they do.

> Everyone is willing to cause some harm/risk to others in order to gain something for themselves

Yup. Which makes us all more or less arseholes, because "some" harm/risk to others still is harm/risk to others.

And which was also all that was claimed to begin with -- there never was any original claim of "any level of harm"; that was always a windmill your fevered mind conjured up all on its own. So, how foolish do you feel now that it (and with it, your attempt at convincing yourself) has gone up in a puff of smoke?
It's harder to regulate a bunch of protocols and distributed entities. Regardless of purpose, regulation which only kicks in at 50m users seems a solid incentive to force networks to remain under that size, and that seems socially beneficial to me after the past decade. Scale benefits distributors but destroys diversity.

If Facebook splits into 50 Baby Books, Zuckerberg's overall wealth likely increases, yet power is distributed. Ma Book could try to control the protocol, or a reference implementation, but they would need to do so in the open, and offer up transferable user data, which would mostly solve the issue with asymmetric access to "their" user data. Each Baby Book would need to compete on design, features, moderation/labeling/verification/filtering, branding, ad tools, etc. and that would be just fine.
