Surprising to see Google take quite a while to zero in on and finally fix the issue which I would say is unusual for large Cloud Providers to have such a long running incident.
> definitely a righty policy, since having lots of old, ambiguous laws on the books increases the discretion of police and prosecutors to deal with "troublemakers" as they see fit.

are you saying the right is more likely to want to hassle troublemakers? If that were true, sunset clause would be a policy of the left, no?

I don't think of it as left or right, it's a libertarian policy. Right now in the US the left skews authoritarian and the right libertarian but that's not a constant (e.g Texas abortion law)
The CDC says[1]

> Yes, you should be vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19 because:

> Research has not yet shown how long you are protected from getting COVID-19 again after you recover from COVID-19.

> Vaccination helps protect you even if you’ve already had COVID-19.

an Israeli paper[2] (probably the one you're thinking of) also mentions that yes - your immunity from having the disease is better than a vaccine but getting both still provides a much better outcome. Please note that this study is very recent and may be overturned in review.

> This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity. Individuals who were both previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional protection against the Delta variant.

So maybe you'll end up super-immune! Congratulations! (now go get vaccinated)

That environment of evolutionary pressure is exactly what is being created. An environment where strains with higher fitness for immune escape are more able to spread, in a compounding manner. Particularly with leaky vaccines as we're using for c19 that do not prevent contraction with high efficacy.

Please read this - even just the 'Prevention' section for a real world example.

> I thought the advantage of the GPU is not speed but parallelism or are modern power saving processors also slow compared to GPUs on non-parallel tasks?

Fast and parallel are two ways to say the same thing, or in other words, the wide parallelism of the GPU's many math cores is what makes it faster than CPU's relatively small capability to do math in parallel. (The x-factor is so large, the power saving features don't really make a meaningful difference.) The tradeoff is you need a highly parallel workload to be efficient and that much faster on the GPU.

I find it's usually release with the minimum necessary features first. Once they digest those, then add on the next set based on feedback. The more incremental the better. But do keep likely future features in mind, such as leaving space in the tool-bar etc. Certain things are hard to retrofit after the fact.
It's not an excuse to not get vaccinated, that you read it that way says a lot about the whole problem really. It's a reply to the GP's question about what "lies" (I personally would not use as strong a word) were spread by quite a few people and media who should know better.
It can be an issue even if you think you understand it at the design stage. I've sold services to identify sources so boards or assemblies can be redesigned. In one case two different clocks for two ICs on different boards interfered with each other causing problematic noise. Filtering the power supplies helped, but changing how one IC was used made the single biggest contribution to reducing the noise levels.
There's a missing part to this by the way: you need a reservoir for new mutations to replicate in, and they have to be mutations which become dominant in the reservoir.

Since the vaccines reduced R(eff), generally below 1 (so far observed), any chain of infection through vaccinated people tends to terminate - not continue. Which means however vaccine evading that virus is, all of it dies.

This all changes if you have a large group of unvaccinated people presenting no challenge to it. Freely spreading for a whole lot of cycles through that population means more vaccine-resistant copies are now out there, with more opportunity to challenge vaccine resistant individuals they come into contact with (since R(eff) in the unvaccinated is ~8).
If you really don’t want it found after turn off, get a nice Faraday bag.
17x according to the data you linked above is 94% reduction and growing, following vaccinated and unvaccinated people separately since January 2021.

> There is very worrisome data coming out of Israel that shows that the risk of breakthrough infections is likely to rise, as delta becomes more predominant and the efficacy of the vaccines wane.

There has been very worrisome data every week since this pandemic began. The best data we have is that vaccines are safe and effective, and they're important as part of our collective efforts to minimize harm.

To me, that's the harm done by the coronavirus, not the harm caused by the unvaccinated to the vaccinated.

> Data is increasingly showing that being vaccinated is not a guarantee that you won't wind up in the hospital, have long term symptoms, or die from the virus, especially if you are in an at risk group.

I've heard this same thing from the people I know who don't want to get vaccinated. Doesn't change my mind that a) the best data we have suggests it will decrease their overall risk factor and b) calling people stupid and evil or policing what they listen to isn't a good way to win that argument.
I think you have to start by answering this question:

What is the benefit of being functional?

If there is no benefit then this whole discussion is moot. If there is a benefit to FP that isn't easily achievable using other styles, then does React achieve that benefit by doing FP style?

Or is React leaning on the cachet of FP for marketing purposes?

Sometimes I picture a lot of the covid measures as raising sandbag walls in front of a tsunami. Feels good to do something, anything, but the tsunami is going to do its thing, at best delayed a bit. The second the earthquake hit, Sendai was gone. There was nothing anybody could do about it. If that's "pretending it doesn't exist", then so be it.

* Vaccines are useful in preventing severe disease. Get one, especially if your are not a child. But they are also fragile and it's anybody's guess how they'll interact with a 'likely vaccine evading variant' (quoting Pfizer CEO here).

* It is unclear what effect the vaccines have on the virus evolution. We assume its going to be positive, but have no actual data on it.

* It is unclear what effect the vaccines have on disease spread. The big question is the effect of vaccines on the rate of 'asymptomatic spreaders', which may increase under a regimen of reducing symptom severity.

* Lockdowns have massive costs. Keeping the world running also saves lives, and it's not at all clear that the balance favors hard covid measures.

* Suspended school, masks and social distancing have severe costs in children. I am not sure we thought through the consequences on the next generation.

* The scapegoating shaping online is grotesque. Being a fortunate to be born post WW2 world with its bounty of health, I never understood the story of touching the leper. Until the reaction to the covid pandemic finally illuminated my mind.

The costs of attempts to cure the disease may be worse than the disease. And the disease is horrible.
"Lie" implies intent. There was a a lot of unclear information in the early days. And mistakes about mask policy do not concern vaccines.

I wasn't aware of this link.

From FDA's letter (instead of the link):

"I am authorizing the emergency use of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID‑19 Vaccine for the
prevention of COVID-19, as described in the Scope of Authorization section of this letter
(Section II) and subject to the terms of this authorization. Additionally, as specified in
subsection III.BB, I am authorizing use of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID‑19 Vaccine and of
COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) under this EUA when used to provide: a two-dose
regimen for individuals aged 12 through 15 years; a third dose to individuals 12 years of age or
older who have undergone solid organ transplantation or who are diagnosed with conditions that
are considered to have an equivalent level of immunocompromise; or a single booster dose at
least 6 months after completing the primary series to individuals: 65 years of age and older; 18
through 64 years of age at high risk of severe COVID-19; and 18 through 64 years of age whose
frequent institutional or occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2 puts them at high risk of serious
complications of COVID-19 including severe COVID-19."

If I'm interpreting this right:

- the existing vaccine is still available under emergency use authorization.

- a different vaccine called COMIRNATY was approved.

I didn't understand from FDA's letter if COMIRNATY exists.

The inventor of mRNA vaccines, Dr. Robert Malone, claims FDA approved a vaccine that doesn't exist.

Thank you!

There are 3 main reasons we decided to go public:

1) The market opportunity is massive and we believe we are entering the "inside the tornado" phase where there are increasing returns to leadership. We're seeing more mainstream adoption of Amplitude as well as more companies giving a similar sounding pitch to us and we want every advantage we can have. Being public helps contribute towards that. As an example, we've gotten more press in the last 24 hours then we have in all of Amplitude's existence.

2) Having a liquid currency for our stock allows us to be much more aggressive about acquisitions and other similar moves.

3) You really should take your company public once you reach 100M in ARR. The expectation for performance across the board goes up and good companies rise to meet the moment. You're expected to do a better job of forecasting and planning your business, telling your story, sharing your long term vision, ensuring proper financial and legal oversight, and a lot else. Companies staying private so much longer has been bad for the them and for the ecosystem IMO.

We hired Morgan Stanley as our lead investment banker. As we were meeting with different banks, they were the only ones who really understood my frustration with the traditional IPO process. They also have the most expertise by far with direct listings. I was expecting a lot of resistance to my views from everyone involved in the process but talking to them was like finding a partner who I wouldn't have to constantly fight to run the public listing process "my way". Colin Stewart at MS is also probably the single most knowledgable individual on IPO/DL capital markets in the entire world.

I'll reply to some of the other questions in another comment.
I love QBserve! It's been really useful for me (if somewhat terrifying to see the amount of time I spend on social media haha). And it's the only product I've found that is both completely functional (a lot of OSS in this space is missing major functionality) and that I trust to not be sending my highly detailed, highly-personal data to... some random server.

Oh definitely. And the stories about how hospitals are now like war zones. I totally understand the enormous toll and pain this pandemic has caused, but headlines like these make me feel like it infantilizes the problem in a way I can't quite lay a finger on. "Get your shots or else the boogeyman will take you away" works on kids, does not seem to work too well on adults.
I disagree with this actually - the effective savings rate is generally lower in the US compared to a lot of countries with "robust workers rights" if you're working in the US you end up losing a lot of wealth to problems that are generally societally insured elsewhere in the world.

There's a cost-benefit tradeoff.

If the product cures an itchy rash, then a chance that it kills even one in a million users is a horrible side-effect and we need to know about.

If the product prevents a deadly disease, then we should be taking it even if we know for sure that it kills one in a million (because Covid is killing two in every thousand, and you're 2,000x safer taking the vaccine).
The mRNA vaccines contain mRNA that causes your body to produce part of the spike protein, not the whole thing. Therefore it is not cytotoxic.

Obesity rates and the disease's effects on healthcare demand are well known. Hospitals are built based on predictions of how many types of patients and diseases they will treat. The mitigation of effects of obesity are built into our healthcare system already.

What throws a wrench into all of that planning, and ability to predict and respond to healthcare demand, is a novel pandemic that sends massive amounts of people to the ICU, which the healthcare system was never built to handle.

I have trouble visualizing that, but if that's true it's just more reason to do whatever we can to get local Rt < 1. Vaccines get us partway there, other mitigation efforts like mask use, distancing (and natural immunity) get us partway there as well.

I'm personally vaccinated and not very worried about getting the disease if I have to be out and about. I feel my personal risk is low. But in terms of societal/community risk to others, that's why I have a personal policy of limiting myself socially so I don't contribute to spread.

The local metrics I personally follow are:

1) Is Rt above 1?

2) Are cases/100k above 10?

3) Is test positivity above 5%?

4) Is ICU usage above 85%

If any of those are on the wrong side, I'm limiting my social gatherings.

It's interesting reading this, as I have always been too -- shy? underconfident? I don't know -- to ever mention my job search to my manager, until I got an offer and accepted it. I worry about it being obvious that the time off I request is for interviewing and perhaps them placing obstacles in my way. I wonder if it's ever a good idea to mention a job search when one doesn't have any offers in hand yet.
I'm having a hard time seeing your point. It seems like you're saying that because [entities] only started to do online counterinsurgency once ISIS was somewhat established, those entities didn't actually try to shutdown extremist content.

And well that's silly for two reasons. The first is that the social media landscape was very different 10 years (yeah really!) ago when the Arab Spring started, the companies didn't have "stop terrorism" on their radar.

The second is well until 2013 or 2014, ISIS wasn't really a thing (of note). So no one cared. For better or worse, denoting something as a terrorist organization matters. Countering terrorist propoganda sounds a lot better than countering propoganda put out by arab spring protestors agitating for more democratic governments.

And actually a third is that a lot of the initial arab spring was explicitly about pro-democratic and non-muslim or more secular governments. So this whole complaint doesn't make a lot of sense. Like yes, people were in favor of the use of social media for democratic organizing.

I'm just very confused, what point are you trying to convey.
