Sorry, where are you getting that quote? I couldn't find your quote on the page. Anyway, that quote doesn't disprove the points I made whatsoever. The number needed to treat is enormous, and there's no detectable benefit on either hospitalizations or missed days of work:

> Injected influenza vaccines probably have a small protective effect against influenza and ILI (moderate-certainty evidence), as 71 people would need to be vaccinated to avoid one influenza case, and 29 would need to be vaccinated to avoid one case of ILI. Vaccination may have little or no appreciable effect on hospitalisations (low-certainty evidence) or number of working days lost.

That's literally the spitting definition of "barely better than placebo" in my book.
One of these is in a nearby local park. The box contains mostly children's books. I like the concept and I imagine parents of young children would have no qualms over taking a free book. Generally I support, measures that replace screen time with book time for kids. Also, the library is on the other side of town in an area full of speed traps. I expect a parent might be more worried about their kid going crazy with crayons on a library book, but a used and free book is less risky because there is no requirement to return it. Seems like an advantage to me.
Most of the time protests in America only start involving law breaking, riot police and mass arrests after the sun goes down. I’d never endorse perjury, but an argument of “I decided to spend the evening inside” seems like it ought to be pretty reasonable for most people.

Censorship is always bad. Always. When people accept it on a broader scale, more censorship will be applied eventually. People already accept it. At some point, broad censorship becomes the norm.

What needs to be disregarded completely is the fact that it's about a vaccine. People shouldn't talk about censorship in context of what's being censored. Censorship itself should always be the topic.

The fact that there's people dumb enough to believe things they shouldn't, isn't a problem that censorship solves. Furthermore are these people only so dumb, because politics made them dumb. They went to schools that made, or kept, them dumb.

By "dumb" I mean "incapable of thinking critically", which - to be fair - also applies to a lot of people on the vaxing side of the equation.

What they need is education. Locking them out of the public is only going to make them grow "underground". That's definitely not preferrable.
> YouTube recommendations quite good

I feel it suffers from "rich is getting richer" phenomena. Once the video start trending, the recommender starts showing it for any search.
Eh, everyone has been moving goalposts. First it was "flatten the curve" to prevent hospital overrun. Then at some point it became "no one can ever get covid again" and we did wild things like close schools even if a person so much as got near a person with COVID.

I don't think one side has a monopoly on losing trust, behaving badly, or making anti-science decisions.

C. Your description of your intended audience is low-specificity enough that I’d waste your sales time talking to them.

D. Your description of your intended audience is low-specificity enough that if you give it to half your engineering team, she will spend lots of effort building something misaligned with the other half.

Honestly, that's where I get some of the most use out of YouTube, the recommended videos main page. Sometimes I'm annoyed they aren't showing me enough variation based on my subscriptions and past likes. I'm not sure why I'd want this.

Sometimes I'm watching a technical presentation/talk by someone and I'll get other talks of theirs on the recommended videos for that video page, which is useful, or followup videos on a topic.

What reasons for people that find this useful have to not wanting recommendations, either as a space to go to specifically to find something to watch or the section on the video page?
> As the famous saying goes, "nothing is as important as you think it is when you're thinking about it".

> Israel has some great data on the combination of various number of doses and natural immunity, and the combo is very strong.

https://pastebin.com/8yR3y5NA

The best study on this actually found no significant difference when giving a single shot to those who were naturally immune. Which makes sense because the chance of reinfection is so incredibly tiny that even if the shot completely eliminated the chance of getting COVID, the absolute size of the effect is still going to be quite small.

> Additionally, the spike protein is the least likely mutation to enable escaping, as it both has to modify to be different enough from the original, plus somehow still be able to attach onto our cells with similar level of infectiousness.

But you don't have to choose just one part. You could have an inactivated whole virus vaccine. That avoids the whole issue.

FWIW we are already seeing point mutations on the spike developing. That's probably why Delta is so damn good at spreading, right? The Israel data suggests a VE of ~39% against Delta. I personally don't believe Pfizer's original 95% VE number, but if you do, that's a startling drop.
While walking around Germany I found a truck that appeared to be a traveling dadaist art museum. It was unattended and you could walk in and see a bunch of shelves with exhibit labels. The shelves were all empty. I was not sure if that was intended. Or if perhaps it was actually a traveling museum and it's pieces were being exhibited somewhere.
As others have pointed out, that's not the case. Something you do have to be careful of is the compile options for libwebsockets and what version you're using. Recent-ish version of libwebsockets in particular disable by default some features Mosquitto relies on, so some installations may suffer.

Version 2.1 of Mosquitto will no longer need libwebsockets (although it can still be selected at compile time) and so websockets support will be less dependant on how other libraries are compiled.
I notice those lists do not include the exact same materials.

So you've proven the point that there is debate to be had on these matters.
If vaccines don’t provide immunity then what’s the point of all the public policy such as vaccine passports, etc? If you can still catch and spread it those who are vaccinated should be subject to the same testing requirements as the unvaccinated.

> "Science" increases our risk of the unknown by making us more aware of it.

I'm not sure I understand the phrase "our risk of the unknown". The risk something poses to us is surely the same whether or not we are aware of it—just that our mitigation strategies, and even the awareness that we need to mitigate, change in response to increased knowledge.

Perhaps the idea is that people are more hesitant to make decisions when they become aware that what they had previously taken as absolute is in fact conditional? That seems like a good thing (although I agree that it can be taken to paralysing extremes).
I suppose people that only want to watch the video they specifically came for, and don't want to be tempted by other media that they know they'll waste their time on.

YouTube does great at recommending videos. I love it, personally. But I can totally respect the former position as well.
I don't mind recommendations, YouTube does a pretty good job recommending things I would like. I just hate when I accidentally go to the trending tab. :shudder:

I view solarpunk as being the things that you mentioned (some of which I wasn't aware of, thanks!) plus a general attitude of "yes, things are very bad, and they're gonna get worse, but we'll work now so we can live later, we'll meet the challenge in some way, we'll fight capitalism and kyriarchy, we'll build community, we'll build resilient structures, we'll live."

Are these foolish hopes? They might be. But I'd rather hope foolishly than be a collapsenik who truly believes there is nothing left to live for.
The reason everyone uses rpi's is because everyone uses rpi's. At this point there aren't any SBC's that are truly faster (some do have better connectivity/re SATA/PCIe/etc but 4 A72's and 8G of RAM which given a reasonable heatsink run at 2Ghz are faster than nearly every single other SBC less than $100). But overwhelmingly those boards are trash. The rpi is trash too, but its trash that everyone and their brother uses so it tends to work. Unless your good at reverse engineering GPU's or random SoC bugs, you stick to the rpi because someone else has already done the heavy lifting.

That, and at least in the USA, its really the only SBC most people can buy locally because best buy, microcenter, and various other stores actually stock them.

I agree, people are denying vaccines work, taking fluoride out of tap water, and saying that the earth is flat. It seems like there's something seriously wrong with our media ecosystem when ideas like this are flourishing. I don't know if banning these ideas is good/effective, but we need some way to incentivize the veracity of ideas and not just their "engagement". What that mechanism might be, I don't know.
I, like my other devs dreamed of starting my own SAAS product when Stripe made it so easy to start accepting payments. No hyperbole here. I remember their tagline used to be "Payments for developers" back in 2012 when I found them and I remember setting it up within few minutes even back then.

Well deserved success to the Stripe team and we have been a happy customer in production since 2014. They even reached out to me once to discuss dashboard/UI change feedback. I know they have a few criticisms lately as they have grown but overall, if I could use the word "disruptor" (which usually is overused and cliched these days), it truly applies to Stripe. Kudos for not making me deal with Paypal and the others for the most part.

The problem with money translating to power is not unique to this arrangement, in any case. Donations can be similarly withdrawn, after all, so they also create an implicit bias.

This might not be the place to ask this, but does anyone know of anything like this for the youtube app? On appleTV and on Droid the youtube app is severely struggling.

Indeed, but there’s this concept called “forgetfulness”. We can’t afford to hoard everything, eventually things get lost in time and it’s ok. We will die and so will our own footprints disappear.

But we need to entertain the option of letting go

If you just a single time watch a video out of your normal categories, yt will never forget. No matter how many times you click not interested.

Also, some of the horrific clickbait thumbnails and titles it suggests annoys me. So avoiding those is one less thing to care about.

Also, much of the problems with yt isn't how they allow dangerous videos to be on their platform, but how they surface them to lots of people by recommending them. They do little harm unwatched.
I myself am vaccinated, but I hold no ill will towards those who do not get it; whatever their reason. And yet, the media is conditioning all of us to hate those people. To shame them. To ignore their reason and free-will.

The same people who are rabidly pro-vaccine are generally rabidly pro-choice when it comes to abortion. How does that reconcile? How come the government can sometimes tell you what to do with your body but not others?

And the same people who are in favor of the vaccine mandates are almost universally supporters of BLM and social justice. And yet... the majority of the vaccine hesitant are non-white. That doesn't square either.

The whole thing is absolutely fucking outrageous. I hate what the media has done to the United States. And I hate all the moral self-righteousness I see on display here and everywhere else.

> Despite its significance, there has not been any systematic study characterizing the user-perceived performance of existing videoconferencing systems other than anecdotal reports.

> We find that the existing videoconferencing systems vary in terms of geographic scope, which in turns determines streaming lag experienced by users. We also observe that streaming rate can change under different conditions (e.g., number of users in a session, mobile device status, etc), which affects user-perceived streaming quality. Beyond these findings, our measurement methodology can enable reproducible benchmark analysis for any types of comparative or longitudinal study on available videoconferencing systems.

I don't know how you're getting relevant recommendations; YouTube seems determined to get me into watching the latest celebrity personalities, or endless streams of clickbait.

I use a few custom uBlock Origin rules to hide the recommendations sidebar and the end-of-video overlay complete. If a video doesn't show up in my list of curated subscriptions, I just don't see it, and that's fine. It's good for my feed to be slow and update infrequently; I've got other stuff to do.
