Sorry, my point was apparently unclear.

I don't know who was in the group. Maybe the writer does, or maybe they don't. Maybe it was just her family, maybe it wasn't.

However, the entourage is described as being her family members immediately prior.

Speculating about the facts doesn't improve the writing (or the editing if that's at fault). It is what it is presented as, unless you were there or something.

I actually looked in VAERS and did an export of the accessible data. Most of the numbers touted are generally around 10k, although VAERS underreporting is a well-known issue, and, VAERS data quality is suspect in the first place, by design.

If you want a website that has more data though:

I don't think it's whether the beds are filled up, I sure many injuries are carelessness, it's how easy is it to avoid it.

Losing weight is insanely hard getting a shot or two is easy. In fact if you had some kid who was speeding, got into a crash, and is now taking up a bed I'd argue that self control for young adults in related to reckless behavior is much more difficult to stop than not getting a vaccine.
> The minheap-maxheap approach is better for streaming data, to get the median as data comes in.

I see that it's better if you need to know "what is the median of the amount of the list that I've consumed so far?"

But if what you want is the median of the whole list, which might be in a random order, the medians of random prefixes of the list don't seem especially relevant. And if you do have an indefinite amount of data coming in, so that you need a "well, this is what we've seen so far" data point, the minheap-maxheap approach doesn't seem very well suited since it requires you to remember the entirety of the data stream so far.

My first instinct is to divide the possible data values into buckets, and just count the number of datapoints that fall into each bucket. This gives you a histogram with arbitrary resolution. You won't know the median value, but you will know which bucket contains the median value, and your storage requirements depend only on the number of buckets you want to use.

In Islam, Milk is considered the drink of paradise. There are quite a few ayats (verses) in Quran about the greatness of Milk.

I find this interesting too, wondering what we called it 5+ years ago when I never heard anyone use the term. My wife is a few years younger and uses it. I think the only time I've used it in 40+ years is asking my wife what it means.

If an argument involves differing opinions, and participating in an argument is an attempt to persuade, is that manipulation?
I started with a more structured journal, but slowly got less structured. I generally go back and do monthly and yearly retros when I feel like it which yeilds something more structured.

I tried doing it in the morning but found that I just didn't have a very strong morning habit/protected time in the morning. Instead I do it at night and write what happened the day prior, that way I can write it whenever I feel like without missing out on anything, and it gives me some practice simply using my memory.
On a related note: Stripe, have you considered tackling the customer side of fraud at all? I recently had an obviously fraudulent Stripe transaction on my credit card statement (questionable storefront that disappeared shortly after I placed my order). My only recourse was to dispute the charge with my bank. The transaction on my statement showed “STRIPE” and not a comprehensible merchant.

Has Stripe considered having a link on the main page for questions about a charge? If I could have typed in charge details and gotten direct confirmation that the merchant account was closed for fraud (I bet it was) and that I could ask online for my money back, it would have saved me a phone call, saved Stripe a chargeback, and earned a bit of goodwill.

We should erode the value of housing and housing debt through inflation, and have the government buy up lands to redevelop into high density housing with corresponding transport infrastructure.

Then set land value tax when the government sold the land back to the market, or otherwise continue to subside and manage these housing stocks.

Otherwise, the middle class will continue to fight any land reform.
The reason people find this line of argument frustrating is that it's always presented in a weird, dismissive tone which makes it clear you already didn't like the things you're proposing to get rid of. If you want to persuade people who are attached to their 2000Kgs of metal, it'll be more productive to include some examples of things you'll have to give up even though you like them.
The thing is, doing something that would 'be equal or surpassing' is pretty much impossible at an acceptable cost. You can probably write something that's 'good enough' that some people might be happy with -- that is what most all-in-one DAWs do -- but the beauty of the plugin system is that you can delegate development duties for those components to someone who a company who specializes in effects, for example. Or even a specific effect! There are developers who just write synths, or just write reverbs, or whatever. And we want to use their products!

Do you have any suggestions on how to start delineating those requirements? You're right that there's a lot of implicit prerequisites but felt the message would get lost if I jumped the rabbit hole from the beginning. I knew fellow immigrates who never used a computer in their life and this was definitely out of their scope unless I started with the basics but I was mainly trying to target other people reading Hackernews in their free time. How can I better address those issues in a way that isn't limited?

The study you cited sounds very promising but is far from definitive evidence. It hasn't been published. Nor peer-reviewed, nor have its findings been collaborated by other studies.

In fact, the very article we are commenting on has quotes from medical experts which contradict its findings.

I think it would be more honest to add a qualifier to your repeated claims. As in, "it hasn't been collaborated yet, but there is a promising study suggesting that....."

Stating it as fact, so vehemently, so frequently, is very misleading. What if that one study is found to be faulty?

>It's impossible for you to have counted the # of times I made this claim in my comment history without noticing the links.

I searched the (first page) comments for this story using the phrase "superior immunity". You mentioned this "fact" 7 times without providing the source (or any sort of qualifier as mentioned above). I do see now (after searching your name) that you have indeed provided a link to the source numerous times under other comments so it seems obvious that this wasn't intentional or malicious. Apologies for that.

FWIW, I do hope this study ends up being proven correct. But in the mean time, I highly encourage you to be more honest in how you cite it.
As it happens, the 12 Mini’s battery life was 1 hour less than the 12 Normal, so the 13 Mini offsets that and adds 1/2 hour. All in all, the battery life of the 12 Mini was not terrible, just not quite up to the same level as the rest of the 12 line.

I don't really buy the "Haskell isn't friendly" thing - it's way more work and way less pleasant to become an expert in, say, C++, than to become an expert in Haskell.

It depends on what, precisely, you are measuring the difficulty of. Are you writing a quick script? A complex software project? Trying to master the language? Is it a beginner programmer? A narrowly focused coder who only knows one or two similar languages? An experienced programmer with a wide breadth of knowledge?

In pedagogical terms, I found learning Haskell much friendlier when I was contemporaneously learning Java, C++, Prolog, etc. in university.

Formal education might, knowledge does not.
Delta variant has an R0 of about 7-8. Measles 12-18. And yet, measles is nearly eradicated in the US.

You are overstating the extent to which vaccinated individuals are likely to be infectious. But more importantly, you are ignoring the importance of the network effects involved.

For x to get to z through y, x has to infect y, and y has to infect z. If probability of infectious breaktrhough and a contact event is 20%, the probability of it getting to z from x, is .2^3 = 0.008. And yet, a 20% is really high-end estimate of that likelihood. You need to both have a breakthrough infection and be in the vicinity of others for potential transmission.

Even amongst people who are presumably, on the whole, intelligent, and by definition (due to the nature of the work that attracts people to HN) good at understanding complex systems, the amount of down-playing and hardheadedness and frankly closed-minded thinking -- all in the service of a kind of soft denial -- displayed throughout the comments here is astounding. And it seems to stem from either unwillingness or inability to truly see the magnitude of the problem, the system affected as a whole.

Climate change is not happening in a vacuum. You are completely underestimating the monumental effects of what you're conceding will happen (disproportionate harming of lower income equatorial countries), and overstating the consolation of there still being substantial areas of habitable climate.

We are poised to see the largest refugee crisis in history. The global supply chain will lose its most foundational workers, the destruction of its most foundational resources. Wealthier nations will not welcome those refugees with open arms, and we can all but expect their arrival to even further foment the rise of right-wing extremism, which will continue to contribute to instability in their own native countries.

Furthermore, those shrinking but still existent areas of habitable climate will encourage violence simply by way of everyone on the planet becoming more and more aware of how rare they are. And even that ignores the fact that "habitable" does not mean "untouched." Those places will have their own purely-climate-related problems, politics and violence aside.

And that is but one of dozens or even hundreds of equally massive, intertwined, complex issues resulting from climate change.

The very literal existence of humanity may not be doomed (though it very well may be), but any semblance of global order and a functioning society very much is.
This is actually how existing diagnostic machines work generally - mix blood or plasma with a reagent, incubate at body temp for some time, measure how the light properties of the sample (color, turbidity, depends on the test) change over time. Some tests measure 1 point at the end of the test, some measure several and construct a non-linear function.

The interesting part is that they're building a machine that can get accurate results with low-cost off-the-shelf components. State-of-the-art systems typically cost somewhere between 50k and 500k, which may or may not include service agreements (they break down all the time - wet chemistry) and ongoing costs for supplies.

I imagine the main wins in this area would be:

- built with low-cost/commodity components (done)

- small physical size for transport (done)

-- systems come in a variety of sizes from bedside to the size of a small car, depending on where you want to run them (operating suite/doctor's office vs central lab) and the volume you need.

- expanded operating temperature and humidity

-- existing systems have fairly tight tolerances on humidity especially, all the systems I worked with had environmental sensors installed nearby.

- low-power enough to run on batteries or small generators easily in remote environments

That these women are working their way down the list is impressive and much needed. As mentioned in the article, reagents are available commercially so that part is relatively "solved," although depending on the test they can be quite expensive and have their own cold-storage and transport problems for remote areas. The other big problem is affordable control material to ensure the systems are still accurate, and calibration material to adjust system constants when they inevitably drift (same cost/storage/transport problems as reagents). Still though, I'm glad they're making progress.

I look forward to more!

It does last longer than a day, but not a full 2 days; more like 30 hrs or so (even with sleep tracking). Using GPS does ding the battery quite a bit.
I agree that it is weird how under-reported findings on side effects are. The narrative has been such that it's not considered okay or safe to discuss those or to report on those as openly. And treating the established narrative as sacrosanct.

I hear you and accept your point about mentioning a political party. If you are sensitive to that type of thing, it is my hope that you will also be sensitive to the "vax vs unvax" and "pandemic of the unvaccinated" false dilemmas being painted in the media.
cool! great stuff, though I do feel a little pity for those who actually need the tool. I've mostly eliminated XML from my life, just a few holdouts.
By the way, I think it's really cool that you followed up your writing with a dialog on how to address criticisms that commenters brought up. Having something you wrote on the front page of a social media platform is a very vulnerable position to be in, and then going on to participate in a measured back-and-forth about your ideas is rare and refreshing. The discussion your ideas have created is much more interesting because you did so.
Nobody even cares much when they do it to American citizens.

Anwar al-Awlaki was a American citizen born in New Mexico.

Didn't stop several US administrations from hunting down him and his family to the other side of the planet to systematically assassinate them.

He was killed by a drone strike in September 2011 [0], in October 2011 his 16 years old son, also a American citizen, was killed in another drone strike in Yemen.

One of his surviving daughters, was killed during a NAVY Seal raid in 2017, when she was only 8 years old. It was the first mission greenlit under Trump, the Pentagon and US press claimed "no civilian casulties" [1], while local sources later reported dozens of dead women and children [2].

For over a decade this family of Americans has been targeted and hunted down with the full might of the American military and Five Eyes surveillance apparatus, but it's all okay because they are "terrorists".

Exactly.

Better analogy- if I put some items up for sale in a consignment shop, and the shop owner doesn't lock the door overnight and someone runs off with all my stuff, I'm likely to be more upset with the shop owner than the actual thief.
We'll probably see a big shift soon. The environment is ripe for it. Various factors have suppressed the probability of such a transition occurring (e.g. https://wtfhappenedin1971.com), but it's becoming overwhelmingly likely.

Already, many white-collar jobs (especially in tech) have large numbers of people working fewer than 40 hours a week.

Race is both biological and social.

Biologically, forget about bone density etc. Skin color, facial features, face shape, etc are discernable directly.

Race as a social construct is the idea (originally rooted in imperialism and colonialism) that certain races are inferior mentally and societal development wise. A few Brits saw Africans residing in huts and living on farming using primitive tools and concluded that they could not develop any further than that and that their brain development was limited. (Of course, this was perpetrated to enable guilt free enslaving and "civilizing" them and exploiting them for labour. I am sure that if African societies were simply introduced to western civilization and allowed to trade and travel, the ideas from west would have been adopted and assimilated much quickly)

So, biologically, races are distinct, identifiable and have evolved to meet the needs of their local environment. But socially, races as inferior or superior was perpetrated with ulterior motives and have been shown as false time and again.
But in the case of pharmaceuticals there is at least rigorous scientific evidence behind the statements. Even so, science does not have all the answers, and to pretend so would be making a mockery of the scientific method.

Overproduction of food is irrelevant if regional supply issues exist. So why do they exist, why are they sticky and so apparently unsolvable?

Desalination is prohibitively energy-intensive. More so in a world of shrinking resources.

You're arguing for precisely why these shortages are a problem but you think you're arguing against their existence. A "shortage" is not simply a hard supply number -- it's also defined by how well the supply is utilized. And the problem is precisely that humans are, and will presumably continue to be, selfish and horrible at using even sufficient or even surplus supplies. So why in the world would anyone think that we'll adequately deal with actually shortages?

That's the thing though, not having plugins would not mean that you can't delegate development duties for a synth or reverb out to another company. I am not sure where you are drawing that conclusion from. It just means that the development would be happening within the DAW.

There is a repeated pattern in economical development, which consists of (1) innovation, which creates new products/markets, (2) expansion, which generates new companies, perfecting new products, (3) competition between new companies, which reduces profits of new companies, (4) merges of companies into a small number of big companies (5) monopolistic markets. What would be beneficial is to address negative aspects of this cycle. Maybe merges should be controlled, to a large extent; maybe something else would be better.
