“Solved” ≠ “simple”. There's a consensus on the right answer, but that doesn't make the reasoning trivial.

• “Is it good to have slaves”: they're people, so they shouldn't be enslaved. (Almost axiomic, with the same reasoning in consequentialist, deontological and virtue ethical systems.)

• “Should women be allowed to vote?”: they're people who are affected by policy, so yes, they should be able to decide it. (See: the whole justification for democracy in the first place; it just falls out. … Should children be allowed to vote?)

I don't think you can come up with something so simple for abortion, unless it's one of the axioms of your ethical system. That's more a function of our (relative) lack of understanding, rather than the problem being intrinsically complex… probably.

No. It's not deep in their nature. People do not compete in a system offering no incentive to compete.
It would need to be a heck of a big effect to drive that sort of elevation in mortality.

I suppose conceivably there is a strong adverse selection/sorting effect happening, but I’m not sure that fits with the pattern. Need to think about it. (Note also the upward trend of the second-dosed.) I think it’s more likely an issue with the way the data is collected.
Your numbers are misleading and deceptive. 78% of the eligible population and 90% of the most vulnerable have been vaccinated in Israel. Children under 12, who are ineligible for the vaccine, are at insanely low risk from covid and at insanely low risk of spreading it. Pretending they have to be vaccinated to achieve "herd immunity" is a lie and is fear mongering. Data show that unvaccinated children are safer than vaccinated adults.

COVID will become endemic. Everyone knows this. All that's left is for politicians to vilify political opponents for potential votes and try to consolidate more power in the meantime.

Some of the costs of your choice to forgo vaccination are pushed onto the community, and so the community is entitled to set rules to minimise those costs.

We accept this sort of risk management in many other domains, where your individual choices impose may introduce external damages(Pet bonds for renters?) but Americans don't seem to think it fair in this situation for some reason.

It was reported Apple bought most of the immediate TSMC next-gen node production. This does indirectly helps Intel, since Apple is not a direct competitor. However, even TSMC current-node is very competitive, and the core logic still holds:

Any fab time Intel buys is a chip AMD can't make. Since Intel is so much larger, they can significantly hurt AMD merely by outbidding them, and eventually still make profit. This is so effective I'm not sure this should have been allowed...
And I don't think the Degrowther movement is helping anything. Hair shirt decarbonization is a non-starter.

Stop trying to make it about scarcity. Make it about abundance. People understand that fossil fuels are limited. So make it about solar, wind, nuclear energy abundance and energy independence.

Gas taxes are unpopular. EPA fuel efficiency mandates are popular. Why? One costs you money and the other saves you money, from the consumer's perspective. They BOTH have the effect of reducing emissions and increasing efficiency.
You’d be hard pressed to buy a 2 bedroom condo in most of California with that income. The places that pay that much have the most expensive housing in the US.

M1 is the only arm part with memory ordering like x86. This allows them to hit x86 into Arm but not worry about the change in visibility to main memory by different threads.

None of the server parts have that. But by the time you do run your code on an Arm server, most of the bugs will be worked out.

The M1 is special.
I can't say that I agree with this. There are the productivity "influencers" who say a lot of things but don't actually live it. There is a high correlation between being a productivity based person and being successful. Most of the leaders you admire are highly productive people and employ practices to increase their productivity, they're just too busy to soapbox about it.

As long as you get your foot in the door and pay the bills on time, your credit history only grows -- and it is extremely unusual for accounts in good standing to be closed. In theory they can close your account at any time, yes. In practice, this rarely happens, because it's common for people to move around the world these days and it doesn't make sense to close someone's account for that.

I feel like this is glancing over various points. Specifically that cows aren’t the only source of milk: sheep, goats, buffalo and horses have all been milked throughout history, and would have been the main source for milk in Rome. And it wasn’t historically looked down upon: major Abrahamic faiths venerated milk consumption. For some reason yogurt is also glanced over even though Oxygala (or something like it) would have definitely been consumed almost daily.

It seems like this is a fairly Eurocentric view. Not even that, really, but a specific-period-of-time-in-Rome view.

The Romans didn’t like butter… that’s about it. And they didn’t like it because it spoils too easily in their environment. Expanding that to dairy in general is quite a reach.

Renting a nice 1bdrm apartment in a decent neighborhood in SF or LA is going to cost you over $48k per year. Probably closer to $60k. That's close $100k+ pre-tax.

Even with a modest spending budget, if you want to max your 401k - which you will need to do to keep this life style in retirement - you're going to need to make $180k.

Definitely not "hard to live on". But also, you are decidedly far from rich.

$250k - if you are single - you should be able to save a lot and make some investments and have more financial freedom - or more spending, whichever you prefer. Still, you are far from "rich". Even at ~$450k (top 1%), you're going to need several years of savings at that level before you start to feel "rich".

Should people feel sorry for you? No. But are you just riding around on yachts and drinking umbrella drinks all day? No.
Your narrative is to, regardless of data that can justify (possibly improved) immunity through previous infection, “just get the vaccine”.

I agree if you haven’t had it previously you should get it, but that’s not what this study is examining.
Previous corona profiles? The article was written before the vaccines were widely available, so the only people who had received them were in the clinical trials.

A year is absolutely long enough. To quote Derek Lowe in the "From the Pipeline" article:

"We have hundreds of millions of people who have been vaccinated to produce antibodies against the non-Delta coronavirus protein domains and are who are now being exposed to the Delta variant. To reiterate, there is (to the best of my knowledge) no evidence whatsoever of ADE in this situation. In fact, we see the opposite: people who have been vaccinated are far less likely to become infected with the Delta variant, and if they become infected, they are far less likely to experience severe disease. These trends have been seen over and over in different populations, and they are the exact opposite of what you would see if ADE were operating. If the mechanism proposed by Yahi et al. were happening in the real world, then we should see higher Delta infection rates among vaccinated people, with more severe disease. We are not. We are seeing the reverse. The vaccines simply to not appear to be causing ADE, no matter how many reasons one might be able to spin for them to do so."

Just get the vaccine.

That's 25 million people in the USA alone, and that's just based on the data we have right now. Virtually no one? And you ignore that the people with antibodies from natural immunity don't need it. See the links in the parent comments I posted.
True about immigration and population although the cities themselves are growing due to internal migration. There are other factors like transportation, half an hour from the city centre can be much more far in Tokyo than in other cities where transportation is not as available, safe, accurate, clean and rapid.

Young People Are Anxious About Climate Change, Say Governments Are Failing Them
It is absurd to tie productivity to workers. An example suffices. A technician running a pair of horizontal machining centers accomplishes the finish machining of eighty automobile engine blocks in an eight hour shift. Now, he’s replaced by a robot and automatic gauging. There are two fundamental problems. In the technician reference frame, his productivity has suddenly and discontinuously fallen to zero, as he sits in fear at home. From the company reference frame, productivity has increased. I used the term reference frame, from physics, on purpose. The idea of productivity is fundamentally flawed- in our system the two views cannot be reconciled, and the discontinuity in the worker frame is also highly problematic.
Out of curiosity, what is your long term plan?

From my perspective people who aren’t concerned about contracting and spreading covid are the short term thinkers - they just want to have things back to how they used to be right now without any thought about mitigating the threat.
Maybe if you manage to make $100 MM a year as a sole proprietor.

On the other hand, if you're making $100 MM a year through corporations, then it's the corporation that the market values, not you personally; and corporations (and equities in them) are state-intermediated fictions.

Corporations have no natural existence, or natural rights. They exist because governments say they do, they have cap tables because governments say they do, and they pay out dividends and have transferrable equity because governments say they do. They are government-drafted incentive structures to motivate productive labor, just like tax credits or mining rights or intellectual property are incentive structures to motivate productive labor.

Or, to put that another way: corporations are de-facto nationalized; by default, the government is the actual direct creator of every corporation that exists in the country. When the person who asked the government for a corporate registration, receives 100% equity in the resulting corporation, that's a transfer of that equity from its original holder at time of creation, the government. The government isn't obligated to do that. It just does it because that's what makes people excited to work hard building corporations.

Mocking deaths came about people antivax people have been actively lying (take animal meds and herbal supplements to be immune) and threatening (just look at the endless mounds of videos of people screaming about it being the end of the world because they have to wear a mask, and governors threatening schools that require masks) while mocking people who get vaccinated because "haha you're all going to die from the vax! Just give it two weeks and I'll be right!"

Everyone got fed up with those people and the gaslighting they've attempted.
I'm not sure what kind of C/C++ projects you install, but most of them are still ./configure && make && make install.

In children? Yes.

The (very) few kids who end up hospitalized for Covid have serious co-morbidities that are easy to pre-screen (e.g. severe obesity). For these children, a full vaccination is recommended. Nobody is arguing about that. For healthy kids, it's very different.

It's great that most kids with myocarditis don't end up in the ICU, but being put in the hospital to get hooked up to an IV and an MRI scan is not a good outcome for an otherwise healthy kid who would would have -- at most -- a head cold from SARS-CoV2.

Quite seriously, I don't see how to put the toothpaste back in on this.
I wish they were that easy, then they'd know to juice the numbers by allowing all kinds of immunity. Talk about an effective administration!
I vaguely remember seeing a video demonstrating a an M1 device virtualizing Windows ARM faster than it ran on Surface ARM hardware. Kind of reminds me of how an Amiga of the era could be set up to virtualize(?) Mac OS faster than contemporary hardware Mac could.
But doesn't a population's overall poor health contribute to the potential gridlock of the healthcare system? I mean, what is the percentage of non-accident emergencies in the system and has it increased with the overall decline in society's fitness? (assuming it has declined I suppose, I don't have any numbers as I am not in that field)
You should at least account for additional sick days, tens of millions of them.
> Yet he also made contributions larger than anyone will ever do by filling up note-taking apps and tracking how much time they spent on their breakfast with a stopwatch.

Part of the problem is that both the low hanging fruit has already been picked and the competition is steeper due to a wealthier society.

If you can't make a societal impact the magnitude of calculus, why not time your breakfast so that the marginal benefit you provide improves society a little while also increasing your status?

I wouldn't say I agree with the above, but I'd push back against the portrayal of the productivity guru being irrational.
Can you back your remarks up with references to prove your statements, about references being suitable proof for a statement, as being accurate?
This is really great. I especially like the morning questions. Thank you!
Yes but then I'd have to live in the midwest - wouldn't I? I'm not one to be taking on that level of social suicide.

I lived in poor rural communities for the first 18 years of my life. I've paid my dues to my poor working class roots and I'm more than glad to say goodbye forever. And you can tell me, "But Omaha isn't that bad!" but I'm not buying it. I know people in the midwest and there's a reason so many want to leave. Only reason they stay is because they can't afford somewhere else - not because they like it.

It's not an accidentally two tiered society it's an entirely conscious effort to exclude those who

You're right, it's an intentional effort by Democrats in power to create divisions in the United States when the reality is not vax vs unvax at all. Natural immunity is relevant to over 100 million Americans by now yet that's not making it into the narrative.

won't protect their fellows and it's unlikely to be limited to the present crisis. When this crisis is gone someday there will be another and we will want to be prepared to handle it better than we have this one.

The extent of this crisis is overblown. The best way to protect each other is to wear a mask when case numbers go above N, and to offer free vaccines as an option for anyone who doesn't have natural immunity. This is not the approach being taken. Why not? It can't be said to be about protecting people if we're ignoring the 100 million+ who have antibodies from past covid. Those antibodies are superior to two shots of Pfizer.

Incidentally boys have an outsized share of the risk of complications but still less than the risk of covid

Incorrect. The guidance mentioned in the link above is that they are at lower risk if they just get covid, versus getting vaccination.

The correct thing to do is take the minimum effort to protect yourself and others and stop complaining.

And the minimum effort is masking when cases numbers are above N. And stop complaining? I'll shout it from the rooftops until people wake up to the tyrannical systems being built.
but it is true (sort of) that to earn the big bucks, you have to be in one of the big cities (very rarely do you have high salaries in the lower tier cities).

But this increase in pay means the assets tied to those cities must also increase in value, as there are now more cash chasing the same (or similar) amount of assets - exacerbated by zoning, which restricts supply.

You first claim that most of the research is terrible, then also claim that research shows 'no big measurable effect'. Can you clarify what you mean?
Just bizarre
I'm going to enlighten you to the sad reality of life in the United States. Go to your GP before being forwarded to a hospital? It takes months to get an appointment with your GP. That's assuming you have insurance - the GP requires money up-front. It's going to be over $100 for the visit. Why are there so few GPs in the United States? Because that's how the medical insurance companies keep costs low. You need to maximize the doctor to patient ratio to drive down costs (which really just maximizes profits - Americans pay several hundred dollars per month for medical insurance).

The emergency room? By law they have to admit you and treat you, whether you're able to pay or not. Guess what happens?

Why is raising taxes on the QSBS not what “tax the rich” means? It’s literally a 100% tax-free benefit to the owners of businesses, up to $10 million per year.

I support and like the QSBS, but it is exactly the sort of thing the average voter would say is a “tax loophole for the rich”.
I can't imagine that everyone in California is making >$250k.

Minimum wage wouldn't exist if it had grown in line with productivity because nothing about minimum wage laws has anything to do with productivity or fair wages.

Curious though, why exactly do you think wages need to raise? Why wouldn't they be fine remaining exactly where they were when minimum wage was first conceived in order to keep minorities and "imbeciles" (the words of the architects of it, not mine)? Could it, perhaps have something to do with state involvement in fiscal policy and fiat currency?
> Henny Penny, more commonly known in the United States as Chicken Little and sometimes as Chicken Licken, is a European folk tale with a moral in the form of a cumulative tale about a chicken who believes that the world is coming to an end. The phrase "The sky is falling!" features prominently in the story, and has passed into the English language as a common idiom indicating a hysterical or mistaken belief that disaster is imminent. Similar stories go back more than 25 centuries; it continues to be referred to in a variety of media.

There have been chronic nursing staff shortages for years. We were treating patients in tents during the 208 flu epidemic: https://time.com/5107984/hospitals-handling-burden-flu-patie...

The much larger problem is that our medical system isn't designed to handle any kind of case surge at all, because, for cost efficiency reasons, it purposely wants to operate at 80-90% capacity. Instead of us focusing on how we can improve our hospital systems for future pandemics, we vilify the unvaccinated for political points.

People should be skeptical that hospitals almost never provide thorough or accurate information about their true capacity, constraints, and current cases broken down by primary causes. But at the end of the day, one's views on the situation seem to primarily depend on political identity and whether one blindly trusts the chronically dishonest mainstream media.
Paid my $15. Great effort. A bit cryptic, but a nice deviation from a standard DAW experience. A bit weird how a lot of things you would expect to be separate modules are combined (like LFOs are created by right clicking on parameters and filters are buried somewhere under "effect chain" module. Naming is a tad weird as well. LFO is LFO, but VCO is a sig gen. I get that it is not really "voltage controlled" but it has been an industry standard naming for decades. I will definitely play more with it and hope it matures.
