Much of this discussion, including to a significant degree this study, rate immunity using a linear metric based on detection of infections. A more nuanced view of the situation shows that vaccine immunizations cause a very strong immune reaction to the particular viral components in the vaccine while natural immunity tends to cause immune reactions that are not as strong but cover more if not all of the exposed virus components.

Having weaker but more general immunity would potentially explain why natural immunity was better able to handle a new variant. This does not eliminate the possibility that a new booster deliberately designed to counter all current variants may be even more effective.

In particular that is true for the Delta. The Delta variant is so virulent that it currently dominates by a wide margin over all other variants and there is not necessarily going to be a more virulent variant. This means that the current problem is quite likely not to be ready for more variants, but to focus on handling the Delta variant. That in turns means that vaccines and vaccine boosters may be called for as the best possible option even though natural immunity may be helpful. Natural immunity also comes with far greater risks which is another reason to focus on vaccines and boosters.
My citation for the first claim is the trump campaign. Trump made china's trade with the us a centerpoint of both his campaigns and was called a racist for it. We were told it's just a dog whistle for white supremacy with little evidence, and we saw this line of reasoning continue through the covid pandemic, when reasonable theories, like the lab leak theory, which painted china in a bad light also earned mr trump accusations of racism.

The media cannot stand it when china is criticized. They have a long history of this, like how they hid he one child policy from Americans for years, and then openly persecuted the grad student who uncovered it
It's a bacteria, which is typically found in moist soil.

This is often where rusty nails live, hence why people connect the two.

You can get tetanus from ground wasps too, for the same reason.

Who knows with a garage / cars in terms of risk level, realistically you can catch it from literally any cut.

I'd say a higher risk is gardening. Who notices every little cut, when weeding?
> Laszlo Bock studied the predictive value of technical interviews when he was in charge of people operations at Google. He reported finding that they had zero predictive power.

Mind citing a source here? That would be a pretty big deal, both because it flies in the face of the entire industry, and because of the implications about Google if it determined the interviews were useless and then continued spending an incredible amount of money conducting them.
Did you have chicken pox as a kid? My wife and I were 80s kids where you still got stuck in a room with other kids to intentionally get chicken pox. I had a mild case when I was 5 and have never been offered a shot, and was actually surprised to learn they were a thing when our kids were little.
I read a blog post a few years back discussing some issues with Github's fork feature (as opposed to just creating a new repo that isn't explicitly linked to the original within Github's UI). From a quick search, I believe this[1] was it, and I remember finding it fairly compelling.

I'm not trying to totally refute your point, but it's worth noting that the desire for more testing is a common and somewhat naive perception amongst the public.

Doctors that practice medicine however are aware that it has been shown that in many different contexts, even despite the benefits of early detection of a number of different issues, that the risks of unnecessary tests and screening often outweigh the benefits.

Good design is not lost once you are done with it. The lessons learned when following through with such things stay and ultimately enable you to build more better things faster.
It's not particularly expensive to license music lyrics in terms of doing a start-up. The big problem is you won't be able to get search traffic these days. There was a rush of lyric sites once upon a time, during the content farm wars years (azlyrics.com was one of the few survivors of that, which remained popular). You could easily get a wave of search traffic (and several dozen sites did). Now if you launch a lyric site like that, you're more likely to get tagged as a shallow content farm by Google, and that's that you're done.

The biggest cost is that you have to figure out a substantial, original content way to differentiate from every other lyric source for SEO purposes.

There was one time in my life where I had an amazing comeback related to the tetanus shot. My coworker was complaining all day about how his arm was sore from his tetanus booster, so I finally asked him "Do you remember when I got my booster?" "No?" "Yeah that's right, because I wasn't whining about it all day!"

*the tetanus shot has a reputation for being somewhat painful
Just wondering aloud: Due to issues like no JIT on iOS, do platforms like react-native use AOT JS compilation? If not, why not?
> thus ending this culture war and forcing the politicians to fix actual problems

You think guns are the core of the culture war? Even if the SCOTUS did make such a ruling, the culture war almost certainly would not end.
In economic theory, yes, everyone has a price.
I said it: they have lots of expensive parts in them. They rely on expensive rare earth metals that require lots of capital to extract, and leave wakes of destruction on the landscape. They require lots of plastics that remain inert for thousands of years. If one is spending thousands of dollars on these things, then they better last a long time. Instead we throw them out every other year and begin the cycle anew again.
The progress of Oil Shell is looking really good and hopefully it can reach the stable 1.0 version soon.

I've been following Oil Shell for several years now by reading the blog articles. The fact that it has managed to adopt and adapt some of the best features of other popular (mostly) dynamic programming languages into a cohesive scripting language and at the same time being backward compatible with Bash is amazing.

Recently there was an HN post and discussions on Linux Router unified command written entirely in Bash [1]. When reading the discussions, the first thing that come to my mind was that it will great if this can be somehow re-written in Oil Shell. But why stop there? What I'd like eventually is a seamless wrapper that maps the native related Linux tools in Oil Shell that can provide similar Cisco IOS like commands, configs and interfaces. It can then fashion the Linux kernel into a glorious network OS without writing extensive separate native networking system services as Quagga, LiSA or Cisco NX-OS. Heck the entire NX-OS can probably be cloned with Oil Shell on top of vanilla Linux kernel and eBPF. Before someone pointed out that what so special about Cisco IOS, it is by far the most popular network OS conventions to the networking professionals, and most of them are very familiar with the configs and commands. Due to the increasingly popularity of containers and Kubernetes, robust Linux networking configuration and automation tools will be at the center of this latest trend. Always remember that Linux once started life as a poor's man clone to the very popular UNIX System V itself.

The idea is obviously bad because it’s ostensibly designed to protect prisoners by reducing the opportunity for prisoner-on-prisoner violence. A noble goal, but what this fails to recognize is a good chunk of prison violence originates from guards, including sexual assault. I fear giving guards free reign to isolated prisoners would have the exact opposite effect of reducing violence in prison.
What bezos and Branson have created so far are just expensive “space” suborbital rollercoasters for rich tourists.

> It seems like you’re referring to pickup artistry

To be honest you have to treat men and women equally and approach both of them

If you are heterosexual of course an interaction with a woman would gravitate towards a romantic interest, whereas with men it's more a friendship/alliance.

But men will still reject your friendship/alliance proposal in way which is every bit as brutal as the drink spilled in your face.

> Everybody thinks cringe

Again there are 8B people on the planet. If you could approach everybody and your success rate is 0.000001% you'd have 8000 very close people. Even if the remaining think you are cringe you'd never have a chance to interact with them because the 8000 would basically engulf your whole day.

Matter of fact you'd not have room for 8000, we can only have meaningful social relationships with 150-200 people .

> Don’t try to force stuff

Social life isn't different from any other aspect of life, you cannot wait for it to come in your lap. You gotta put in the work, and get the rewards. Face the pain and then enjoy the gain.

I don't know why people think that the normal rules of life don't apply to social interactions.

> you have to respect yourself

What you identify as "respect yourself" I characterize as not wanting to put in the work and face discomfort and also stop hustling and stop selling.

But in this case also not recognizing the reality of the numbers which I just put forward above.
Mullvad has been at the top of my mentally-disorganized pile of VPN trust for years. However, being the best and growing in popularity will eventually be a liability, if it isn't already: the more mindshare, popularity, and traffic, the more appealing they become as a target.
No, search engines can't crawl pages behind a login wall.
I think the implication is: TCP kind of assumed you will either keep transmitting, or close the connection.

The many video-streaming type workloads, the connection will go idle, for seconds or even minutes at a time. If the loss is at the tail end of some activity, before a period of idle, the recovery takes a lot longer than it would if there are further activity on the connection.
The article suggests that no, as long as you had the shot as part of your childhood vaccination series, you're not at higher risk at if you haven't had a booster:

A recent paper published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases suggested that tetanus and diphtheria booster vaccines are not necessary for adults who have completed their childhood vaccination series
Not surprising. Most mammal species are at least somewhat susceptible to SARS-CoV-2. Over a long enough period we can expect most individuals of those species to eventually get infected.

Some zoos have been vaccinating animals.

They're also in states with higher rates of diabetes.

This is correlation not causation and I'd be much more interested in determining what causes these potential issues.
> It's also the reason why VW had to pay a huge fine in the US but not in Germany.

VW had to pay 1 billion euro in germany.

Maybe that's not enough, but it definately is not the case that companies are not persecuted in any way at all in Germany.
It also comprises the vast majority of the intelligence we collect.

It's not even close how big of a gap there is between how much SIGINT and IMINT we collect and there's still another huge gap between the amount of IMINT and HUMINT we collect.

I personally wouldn't consider any of them aggressive.
We bought a spec house, but it was just getting underway when we signed the contract. I like that option, it worked out well for us. Got to pick all the finishes. Made some minor changes along the way to the plans, changed the appliance choices to fit my preferences, etc. So I got the upsides of a spec build, but I also got to make sure they put in a properly large kitchen island, double ovens, and other improvements that usually get left out of a pure-spec build.

I also got to visit the site every day and take pictures, which is really nice to have. Especially the day before they did drywall, I went nuts with pictures and now I can tell you exactly what the inside of every single wall looks like, what the electrical looks like, the plumbing, conduit, smurf tubes, etc.

Also, if you are nice and polite, you can talk directly to the subcontractors in some cases and get even more customization at a great price. E.g. the electrical guy offered to run cat5 throughout the house for a few hundred bucks. He couldn't terminate it, because he's not licensed for low voltage, but he could run the wire itself and leave it coiled up in a single gang box in every room. The builder didn't think to offer that, but having a chat with the electrician when he was on site gave us that option.
It seems that there is a fundamental tension for intro to CS/SE classes between refining the fundamentals of self-taught programmers and starting students from zero. Expecting total n00bs to find which part of their code causes the segfault is a frustrating waste of time for all involved. However, showing how the computer works is useful for people who already have figured out the rudiments of things like for loops and if/then conditionals.
> No amount of technical development can keep up with exponential increase in resource usage.

People having children doesn't mean exponential increase in population. The US has an average children per family of 1.93 as of 2019, which actually means the population will shrink.

> adding more people until everyone has to live a poor destitute life wont make people more creative

This is a common fallacy that wealth is a fixed pie, and adding more people into the equation will make existing people poorer. This isn't true — wealth is created!

I guess I don't understand the question.

I can't prevent other people from assuming anything.

I have a portfolio, with complete, start-to-finish repos of many shipped projects. If no one wants to review it, then there's nothing I can do.
I guess it depends on timeframe. The reason we care about the cars being “cleaner” is because it is safer. But not in a someone is going to be maimed way.

No. You really can't buy some people.

Either because they already have more money than they know how to use, or because they have, you know, principles.

Hey, I know this is the original title but please rename it to be more descriptive. I saw the title , assumed the worst and then was reassured on reading the article.
Did the doctor state what probability of risk/harm actually existed for you? I think many doctors will prescribe "to be on the safe side" (that's how they earn a living, don't forget). It probably (hopefully) doesn't harm you, but it's hard to say if it was really necessary.
I was thinking sideeffectful functions. Such as DB accesses.

Americans Have Little Trust in Online Security: AP-NORC Poll
Hi, cool to see you here. Currently working on a large scale (operating costs in the billions) optimization problem and I'm currently testing out Optaplanner along with some commercial solvers. I really like how the problems are modeled using annotated POJOs, as opposed to some of the more contrived array-based modeling languages out there. And the ConstraintStreams concept is really awesome (if a bit hard to grok at first).

Is there a convenient way to reach out to you or your team with questions? Do you accept outside pull requests?
> its just cheaper and less liability arises by recommending the vaccine

I wouldn't call these excuses, I'd call them very good reasons. I'd much rather have a quick cheap jab than bloodwork and weeks of back and forth. If I didn't need it, it was harmless. If I did, it may have been lifesaving.
My wife recently had her TDAP booster and had a stronger reaction to that than to her COVID shot -- she had a fever and body aches for a couple days.

Actually there are less expensive parts. The parts are more expensive per unit mass but I bet an iPhone consumes about 1/10 of the raw materials as a early 70/80s entertainment boxes. It still just plastic, metal, glass, etc. The old electronics probably used worse chemicals in production as well. The lithium ion battery is probably the one outlier in that it's unique to mobile electronics but old portable electronics would use dozens of non-rechargeable batteries every year.
It's not a joke but yes, I am aware that the name is amusing ;)

Did the victim not have their tetanus shots at all? That would make sense. But if they did and they still got tetanus despite that, that would be concerning.
Those jobs never left. The largest lumber producer in the world, from Canada, operates saw mills in the USA. They don’t pay tariffs on product made in the USA. Side note, the tariffs are always paid on import by the importer. Not by the exporter. Imposing tariffs on foreign goods usually raises prices for the end buyer.

you should have just washed your hands with soap and warm water.
cant point to anything in particular but this just seems off.
Lets say the hospital is full, as is the case in Alaska Regional Hospital, and then 20 more COVID19 patients come in.

1. You can either kick out some people in beds (making room for the new patients).

2. Or, you turn away the patients (and wish them the best of course).

Those are the only two choices. When you're out of beds, you're out of beds. Governors across the country have been pulling in student nurses, and increasing nurse pay to encourage retired nurses back into the hospitals. But eventually, you run out of nurses / beds / resources, and run up against this hard limit. We have an ability to magically summon new nurses, but all those abilities have been used up by now (we had a nursing shortage _before_ COVID19 happened after all)

The correct answer, from an "ethics" perspective, is to be ready for the situation, and ethically prioritize the different cases.

But all of them "need" the hospital bed. But the physics of the situation means that some of them are going to go home without treatment.

---------

Then tomorrow, 20 more patients come in, and you repeat the process. The day after that, another 20 patients. Etc. etc. You then repeat this situation until the COVID19 surge is over.
So, the CDC recommends one thing, the WHO something different. Where does the appeal to authority leave you at now? In the end, you'll have to make up your own mind.
It's not particularly spicy, but it has absolutely no evidence to support its effectiveness, either as a deterrent or as rehabiliitation.

In fact plenty of historical evidence suggests it not only doesn't work, it makes reoffending more likely.

There's no space for "Well, obviously..." in prison management. Effects are often not obvious at all.

I guess many manufacturers are trying to talk the crisis down to keep their share price high but there are few reasons to think this will get better any time soon. The additional demands from lock-down are remaining with many people still working from home and it takes years and obscene amounts of money to build new plants.

People in the industry allowed this to happen, it should have been an obvious risk for at least 10 years but I guess no-one wants to bankroll the extra capacity.
Honestly, it feels like the best use of time would be to aggressively port as much Discord functionality as possible to, e.g. Matrix.

You can count me in as an old head who loves (because it works SO WELL) and hates (because it's so locked down) Discord.
I'd be a regular user in a heartbeat if there's a self-hosted version.

I regularly use a self-hosted version of draw.io / diagrams.net for creating what you're calling "multiperspective" diagrams and walkthroughs by hand - basically drawing dozens of variants of a single diagram and embedding them into docs with some text around them. I know I'm not alone, there are probably 100s of potential users in my workplace alone.

This tool can save me days/months of time but the nature of my work is confidential and I cannot use any tools that are hosted elsewhere.

I think Java is a great language to start with . It’s verbosity forces certain programming features to be known, static typing is better for beginners, and it’s easier To teach encapsulation , overloading , and overriding due to the Java’s verbosity in my opinion. The existence of Arrays and Arraylist gives a better view into static arrays vs dynamic arrays that you might not get in very language.

I think of programming tools as knives in cooking. While all knives fundamental can cut , not all knives are made to cut the same thing. Similarly , not all programming languages are made to tackle the same thing. I think Java
works as a good juxtaposition to Python by showing that that contrast via its syntax and basic features. Also when compared , it can allow students to get over the notion that it’s not about the language but the techniques and how each language can implement the technique.
I'm sure it's much less painful than actual tetanus, given the horribly painful way in which that disease kill or maim people.
Algorithms in JavaScript Thread
I agree with you, and I think it's just as frustrating when the decision makers don't document and communicate risk "down the chain", instead packaging up tasks for the implementers and expecting them to have the same sense of priorities, or to rediscover all the nuances of their design decisions during development, etc
Oh no, there’s no bypassing the crap anymore with companies you don’t know personally.
