I can't explain it.

I think they Astroturf a lot. At least on this site. Any thread about a class at Stanford/MIT/CMU (often because they posted the textbook for free) and someone from Waterloo will post what they teach, no matter if it's relevant.

It's also a giant school (36,000 undergrads and 6,000 postgrads) and from what alumni told me, undergrads are incentivized to apply everywhere and especially during the off-cycles (winter) for internships when they are effectively the only ones looking.

Contrast that with Stanford that's barely 7,000 undergrads and 10,000 grad students).

I think they also have to get internships to even stay in the program (it's coop) so I guess that weeds out the unemployable.
I don't have one. Google it if you care enough.

It should be pretty intuitively true if you think about which jobs benefited the most from technology and which benefited the least.
er, no. The idea is that we currently do not have a post-scarcity society, and will maintain the existing system to develop technology until we do, at which point, what's the point of a political-economic system?
"it's possible to seamlessly drop the view, alter the underlying table and recreate it"

And if that were the only problem it wouldn't be too bad, except that other databases don't inflict this task or limit the degree of the problem far better. Unfortunately the problem isn't limited to views. Materialized views, for instance, have to be dropped and recreated along with their indexes. That can involve a large IO operation; one that risks failure.

Pretty soon an otherwise innocuous ALTER TABLE that conceptually has zero impact on dependencies becomes a major undertaking.

Wikipedia, Github and Stackoverflow don't really have a "feed" much less a opaque, hidden algorithm to induce addictive behavior behind the feed. They don't press you into the app and then send you frequent push notifications.

Gamification is benign compared to an interactive news feed developed to drive ad sales. I find pointing at especially wikipedia, but also github as being designed to maximize engagement comparable to social networks as silly. Neither has much to gain from having addicted users, the same can't be said for facebook, IG, or Reddit.

clinical trials are ongoing for <12 year olds. The biggest change is that the dosages will have to be lower. If you give a young child the current adult dose they will have a higher chance of side effects.
As far as I understand, we do have the physical capability of housing that many people, but a significant number of the homeless are drug addicted, have mental illness, or both, and attempts to provide housing in mass like that leads to many of the houses becoming filthy and/or damaged. And who would want to give up a house for that? Homelessness can't just be solved with a housing band-aid, but needs to be addressed at the source with support for the drug addicted and mentally ill.
If you want to optimise for targeting a specific virus, then yes, narrowly targeting the most stable functional element of that virus is preferable to targeting other elements of that virus. If you want to optimise for having a broad response to related viruses, then a less narrowly targeted response is preferable.

These are two separate issues:

1. People (especially experts) are legitimately debating the facts, i.e. what the effect of a booster shot is (not "arguing", this is just the normal scientific process)

2. People also have to make a value judgement about whether we shouldn't now first vaccinate third-world countries instead of getting booster shots, based on our current understanding of 1 (although this isn't purely for ethical reasons, the world doesn't really want the virus to spread and mutate in other regions either)

And for both of these orthogonal issues, most people don't fall into any of the two extreme camps described in GP's post.

Past covid gives antibodies that are superior to two shots of Pfizer.

https://www.science.org/content/article/having-sars-cov-2-on...

So yes, it IS just as good as the vaccination and should be treated as such. Vaccinating people for the sake of vaccinating them is illogical here.

And don't even get me started on vaccine passports, which are completely unnecessary. If a place of employment absolutely needs proof of vaccination, like the NICU at the hospital or a nursing home or a college dorm, that information can be relayed via existing protocols. We don't need a "papers please" society where paper shufflers and bureaucrats can arbitrarily gate access to society this way.
there was a fitness instructor in colorado that didn't get the vaccine because he had tested and had antibodies in his blood. then he got covid again(or maybe the first time?) and it just absolutely decimated his body. he lost 70 lbs and is walking around with an oxygen bottle. the only real way to make sure you have proper antibodies and B and T cell responses is to have either gotten a symptomatic case of covid that lasted a while or getting the vaccine.(yes that's also not foolproof wrt antibodies/t/b response but it's a generally good method)

It's nothing to do with them catching it, it's about them spreading it.

The usually bandied figure is 80% immunity to stop the pandemic.

Without the teenagers vaccinated, that's never going to get hit.

Wait until winter hits and the cases spike, then it's suddenly going to become "necessary", but if they'd made that hard decision 3 months ago this would already be over.

That's incorrect. Vaccinated people are contracting Covid at a bit less than 1/5 the rate of the unvaccinated. See for example

Everything about Waterloo's curriculum weeds out the weak.

The coop program is probably their biggest strength. Working with coop interns is fantastic and almost always leads to a job post graduation.
No they are not. They are supposed to allow the immune system to react more quickly after infection (essentially immediately if you have antibodies).

Kill pathogens more quickly, you'll be infectious for less time, and whoever do you infect will have a lower viral load.
>If you are previously infected or not in a vulnerable group its not selfish or stupid to avoid this vaccine. You can manage it with monoclonal antibodies if you do get a severe outcome.

But there's a chance of you spreading the infection to someone who's vulnerable in the process of recovering from it. Or someone else who ends up spreading it to someone who's vulnerable. Could just be that you pass by someone in your apartment building on the way to pick up your antibodies. Or exhausting medical care supplies if you do end up needing treatment.

I'm not equipped to tell whether your claim about mass vaccinations are true, but if that's correct are yearly flu shots also a bad idea?
“Myocarditis (or pericarditis or myopericarditis) from primary COVID19 infection occurred at a rate as high as 450 per million in young males. Young males infected with the virus are up 6 times more likely to develop myocarditis as those who have received the vaccine.” [0]

So there’s a preprint stating that COVID-19 causes myocarditis at a higher rate than via vaccination. So it’s not quite clear to me whether or not, if looking at it from a risk of myocarditis, that not getting vaccinated is the better choice.

And according to the JCVI, it still is marginally beneficial to get vaccinated over not getting vaccinated. So it’s not like they are advising that natural infection is safer than vaccination.

“For otherwise healthy 12 to 15 year old children, their risk of severe COVID-19 disease is small and therefore the potential for benefit from COVID-19 vaccination is also small. The JCVI’s view is that overall, the health benefits from COVID-19 vaccination to healthy children aged 12 to 15 years are marginally greater than the potential harms.” [1]

Minor correction.

That 412 number is "covid involved", not "covid caused".

This could be that the death was not at all due to covid, but the cadaver tested positive. They were in a car accident, for example.

This could be actually caused by covid primarily.

This could be covid tipped someone over the edge who was already very ill.

Sure. It's just that if the goal really is to identify which stories aren't covered by news then if you only look at what news covers to determine that, you'll miss some of the bigger 'coordinated silences'. Weinstein's comment about how weird it is that no journalist ever brings up some really obvious questions about Epstein comes to mind. Or how little press there was about his brothers telomere story. From one perspective the reason for the silence is because it's not worth covering by the news, but from another perspective it's biased silence.

From your parent comment above:

> As such, there are more (perhaps much more) than twice as many folks who have not had COVID who are unvaccinated than there are those who have had COVID.

So this statement you made doesn't apply anymore? It is irrelevant now all of a sudden? We aren't taking the 40 million into account anymore? Why? Only one or the other? Then why even bring any of these numbers up if you're just going to disregard them?

> Removing those children from my calculation...

You're not removing them from a calculation, you're removing them from the 120 number and then ignoring the fact that you've also already removed 40 from that number, which was the calculation you're referring to.

Why even have this conversation if you're just going to arbitrarily decide to not consider a factor you've already considered prior? What are you trying to accomplish with this discussion?

This is a great summary of what made him stand so far apart from other comedians and entertainers. He was fundamentalist in his dedication to the art of comedy. He could easily tell a clean dirty-joke or a dirty clean one and he never pandered to the audience.

The other part about Norm that I'm not sure everyone knew was how compassionate and well read he was. This came out on his podcast frequently. Not only could he deliver a multi-layered joke on the fly but could casually pull references to art & literature.

I always appreciated his reverence toward his guests. Even during Jim Carrey's infamous and awkward flame-out on his show, he was never fazed or allowed it to affect his conduct towards his guests. Unless he had extra special reverence for them, in which case he might give them a harder time.

He's the only celebrity loss I can remember being brought to tears over. An absolute legend.

Amen. We have been so unbelievably myopic with COVID it truly hurts my head. Even today, ask someone who's COVID-obsessed, "What exactly is your longer-term plan here?" and watch as their mind breaks down. Too many people have completely stopped thinking about what they're trying to achieve and how they're going to do it. Half the country is just stuck, focused on short-term and no attention paid to anything else and it's freakin disastrous.

That one study found a 1 in 5000 risk.

The background here is that hospitalization from covid increases dramatically with age. Teenagers are at low risk of hospitalization from covid themselves, but I expect that vaccination would still reduce the risk of teenagers transmitting the virus to others.

To be fair, if I found that a job applicant was also actively participating in a Neo-Nazi website, I would absolutely never hire them, whether they intended for me to know about it or not. If I had already hired them and found out, they would unemployed quite quickly.

I would never expose the people who work for me to that kind of toxicity, nor would I expose myself and my organization to that kind of liability.

I am all for freedom of speech, insofar that people don't get charged with crimes for participating in protected of speech, but I have absolutely no reason at all to tolerate those people, and feel as though I have a moral obligation to keep them away from the people I care about.

Talking about things I don't really understand here, but there's a nice parallel to draw to Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Same thing with the blind men and the elephant, or 2D lizards that see a cube pass through their dimension.

It is useful as an operator due to the fact that you avoid unnecessary function calls/lambda creation. "pipe(x, f, g, y => h(42, y))" is not going to be as easy to optimize as "h(42, g(f(x))" yet "x |> f |> g |> h(42, ^)" has the ordering of the pipe function while being equivalent to normal function invocation for the purposes of optimization.

I sort of agree though about the F# proposal version. It doesn't make sense to introduce if it is basically equivalent to having a pipe/pipeAsync function. I suspect this is a big reason why the Hack version was favored.

Wait, I think you’re misunderstanding a bit. The culture of professionalism ALREADY inherently represses non-straight people (and allows straight people privilege to be who they want). For example, men suits women dresses. There is no culture of professionalism that I know of that gives the privilege to all people. Like a dress code would be fine if it wasn’t obviously biased towards certain culture standards (in this case, western/white, straight).

Edit: to put it another way, professionalism in the case of clothing for example would be more fair if there could be a professional qipao, or professional burka, rather than only a professional western option aka the suit.
It is an exceedingly slanted narrative omitting much and painting a pointedly inaccurate history.
> Teenage boys are six times more likely to suffer from heart problems from the vaccine than be hospitalised[sic] from Covid-19

there is a large range of poor outcomes that are not "hospitalized" if they get covid. they are susceptible to getting long covid and also to bring it home and potentially infect their parents unknowingly. just because one risk is higher doesn't mean the sum of the other risks suddenly don't matter.

I feel like inflation does a really bad job at adjusting for everyone's major expense: housing. It feels like gaslighting every time someone tries to tell me how fine millennials are when we objectively don't have the same opportunities for easy effortless well paying employment that makes buying a house a very achievable goal relatively early in life.

Of course these are just my feelings and I don't have data to support it
There's nothing special about the enum status code and binary (header described) response data of today.

GQL has little choice, it can either call the whole thing an HTTP error, or, to be honest it probably does the right thing, it can call it a success and describe the error in the response data. In an hierarchical model of your choice, that's genuinely an HTTP-level success.

In the sort of respecifying I'm describing, you could expand status codes to describe 'mixed' results, or 'upstream error's, or whatever. I don't really have great suggestions ready because my only point is that I think the status quo is bad.

Anything on the bedside, especially in ICU, has to be examined by the FDA to the point where they want to know exactly what the chemical composition of parts are. If there's a risk of things releasing fumes that might be dangerous for a sick patient if the device gets too warm, they'll ding it. Diagnostic software powering these devices are scrutinized by the FDA, too.
