> Reporting adverse events on a per-dose basis effectively cuts the actual adverse reaction rate per person, which is all anyone cares about, in half.

Cutting it in half doesn't really undermine the conclusion that the vaccine is safe. I'm not really sure if the average person would go "1 adverse reaction in 282,000, that seems safe. But 1 adverse reaction in 141,000? That's too risky!" Arguably the "per dose" incident rate is also most useful for answering the question: "If I go get vaccinated today, what are the chances I'm going to have a very bad day?" Reporting per person would also obscure cases like a person getting both doses and having a serious adverse reaction both times and we might instead be arguing about how they're underreporting those cases.

I think this would be a more pertinent point if the adverse event rate was higher - e.g. 20% vs 10% is a much more significant difference from doubling. Basically, if they wanted to mislead they did a really poor job. To me this points to bad design or some kind of data collection related requirements/restrictions we're not aware of (perhaps it's a problem of correlating reports to a person if you also need to keep this data anonymous for privacy reasons - but I'm just speculating).
From my experience a “beta” should be ready for daily use but some bugs should be expected. If it’s really unstable call it ”alpha”.
There was a recent article "A Generation of American Men Give Up on College: ‘I Just Feel Lost’" in the Wall Street Journal. Everyone pretends to be completely puzzled by this.

And yet not long ago: "In fact, more women as a whole now graduate from college than men ... This is a great accomplishment—not just for one sport or one college or even just for women but for America. And this is what Title IX is all about." President Barack Obama.

It goes back to kindergarten. We have known for over a decade that this occurs. And yet we get these fake baffled faces. Education is currently actively hostile towards boys and young men. Just imagine how fraught trying to date would be if you were a young man in a university now and had heterosexual leanings.

And yet that wage gap "factoid" continues to be chanted at every turn.

Probably nice if you haven't read the books, because the direction is spotless.

But if you are a fan of the original story, it's a spit in the face of a masterpiece.

The title, names and arcs are basically used for branding.

It was predictable, the Foundation cycle is mostly dialogs spanned over hundreds of years. Little details is given to action, and characters, which are superficially developed and serve mostly the purpose of a vehicle for history, die of old age every few chapters or so.

Very hard to adapt, and pretty much impossible to make money outside of the show, with the face of your actors, by selling toys or pretty symbols. Also, good luck keeping hooked the general public. There is no focus on sexuality, little humor, hardly anyone relatable, they talk a lot then goodbye.

So they made it a block buster. It sure can work, but it's not Foundation.
* They don't need to? If Tether, the company, disappeared, the market can decide what to do with the, now entirely unbacked, Tether cryptocurrency.

* Tether, the company, can freeze specific Tethers they have issued, making them unusable as currency. Whoever shuts them down might be able to force them to do this en masse.
Downtown is sterile. A nice cafe or more likely a nice restaurant will pop up - but there is nothing around it. In Summer, walking a few blocks is fine. In Winter……

In its defense (I have no horse in this fight) lots of downtowns in the US are like that. They’re places to work that empty out at 5pm. Seattle comes to mind. Maybe Chicago and St. Louis? It’s been a long time since I’ve been to those, though...
> That's assuming a fixed pie. If you push more women into the PhD level (or discourage men), then you could fix the engineering disparity while keeping the others.

Sure. But the broader professional job market is approximately zero-sum: most people above the working class have exactly one job, so addressing a gender disparity in one segment should functionally address disparities in other segments, no?

> Why? Engineering is in fact often incredibly boring to most people, and I would be very surprised if people spend more time talking about it than public policy.

Sorry, this was unclear: I meant that the public talks more about getting people into engineering fields than into public administration, since the former is seen as a reliable path to the middle class. Engineering itself is boring; the public policy around the engineering workforce is of exceptional interest to a lot of people.
As someone with ambivalent interest in crypto, it seems like a Tether meltdown might be healthy for the space.

It would wash out a lot of the accumulated speculative value and hopefully lead to a much more confident regulatory framework for the interface between blockchain money and real world money. It would also long-term strengthen fully decentralized aspects of the crypto ecosystem while flushing out those that don't really function independently of traditional finance but instead accumulate speculative valuation based on an unsafe interface with fiat and the financial sector.

Winners all around (except for crypto speculators)?
> Does this package really intend to use Go templates for your whole frontend? That seems not ideal?

Yes, based on this page [1] it looks like that is the intension.

I built a user account manager from scratch for a company with 56M users, and utilized Go templates for all the static content and pages that only needed a handful of variables. For more complex pages, Go templates was very cumbersome, so I had to add a JavaScript framework (Vue.js) to implement pages that users were supposed to interact with. I enjoy using Go for command line tools, system background services, and web services, but for complex web development, never again.

After three (3) years working on that project, I would not recommend Go templates for complex web development at all.

I would propose that first and foremost, the best application would be to improve the quality of HN. It would be interesting to see changes over time from various angles. For example, the churn rate of users, the repetition of posts, the number of commercially-biased posts (I.e. advertisements), etc. I am relatively new to the forum, so I’m sure that veteran users would have even better suggestions.
Sorry for the delayed response.

We started out with a three-node cluster using the smallest (1 vCPU/2GB RAM) VM you can get. Our initial requirement was to be able to do zero-downtime deployments and have a nice web UI to perform them (alongside the other advantages you get from a distributed system). We have now rescaled them to the next tier (2 vCPU/4GB RAM).

The hardware requirements depend on your workload. We process about 200 requests/sec right now and 600-700 per second on Saturdays (due to a larger client) and the nodes handle this load perfectly fine. All our services are written in Go and there is a single central Redis instance caching sessions.

Our database server is not part of the cluster and has 32 physical cores (64 threads) and 256GB RAM.

I say start out small and scale as you go and try to estimate the RAM usage of your workloads. The HashiStack itself basically runs on a calculator.
> This "optimization" actually slows single-threaded accesses down slightly, according to the design document, but that penalty becomes worthwhile once multi-threaded execution becomes possible.

My understanding was that CPython viewed any single-threaded performance regression as a blocker to GIL-removal attempts, regardless of if other work by the developer has sped up the interpreter? This article seems to somewhat gloss over that with "it's only small". I'd be interested in knowing other estimations of what the "better-than-average chance" of this (promising sounding) attempt were.

Breaking C extensions (especially the less-conforming ones, which seem likely to be the least maintained) also seems like it would be a very hard pill to swallow, and the sort of thing that might make it a Python 3-to-4 breaking change, which I imagine would also be approached extremely carefully given there are still people to-this-day who believe that python 3 is a mistake and one day everyone will realise it and go back to python 2 (yes, really).
>How could the growth of answering machines be connected to the break-up of AT&T

In the Karate Kid, the Karate Expert Mr Miyagi teaches youngster Daniel the martial art of Karate. My Miyagi begins by having Daniel paint his fence and wax his car. Daniel doesn't understand how this helps, and has a tantrum, at which point Mr Miyagi demonstrates that Daniel has, in fact, been building the muscles and reflexes necessary for Karate.

They situation here is simply one where Daniel is not qualified to evaluate Mr Miyagi's methods. Conversely, had Daniel the necessary experience to evaluate the method, he would not have needed instruction.

The internet is full of Daniels, and gives them the ability for their tantrum to reach a large audience. The internet is far more full of Daniels than Miyagis. Further, to tell the difference between a Daniel and a Miyagi, one has to be a Miyagi (see Dunning, Kruger).

Finally, there are legitimate differences in approach between different masters. Sensei John Kreese has very different methods compared to Miyagi, that are, nevertheless, clearly effective. Kreese also has turned his experience into a business and this influences his decisions, such as breaking agreed rules.

Bob might be Miyagi, and he might be Kreese. Most of what he says is good advice, in my opinion. Some of it isn't. Which parts are which depends on who you ask. But most of the complaints come from Daniel.
> As computer scientist Dr. Grace Hopper told a reporter, programming was "just like planning a dinner.

I have no doubt that Grace Hopper turned out to be a great programmer and made many great contributions to the field, but it turns out she was in the army, and she was ordered to go work on a computing effort, it wasn't her choice:

"In 1944, Lt. Grace Hopper was ordered to report to Harvard University to work on the Mark I, the behemoth digital computer that had been conceived by Harvard's Howard"

The idea that there may be some natural differences in preferences (things that interest you the most) between men and women is controversial for some reason, but this idea shouldn't be seen as sexist.

If it turns out that men really are more drawn to engineering (on average, this is obviously not true for everyone) because of some underlying biological development factors, shouldn't we try to understand why? Being more drawn to engineering doesn't mean you're automatically better at it. It just means you're probably more likely to go into the field and more likely to spend long hours studying it.

Right now the politically correct thing to do is to just reject that hypothesis and insist that all of these differences have to be nurture. I mean, why spend precious capital studying these things when we've already decided what is the correct answer, right?

This sounds like a logical end result for the western world as well now that a large portion of our media is presented to us through streaming services that can easily, for instance, swap out a movie with a censored one, or remove more controversial material entirely
Lobbying will never be eliminated. There is no scenario where that is ever going to be allowed to happen. Both sides of the political aisle love it and use it to their advantage, it's useful and lucrative for the political class. Their only interest is in controlling it, never eliminating it. So what's the next best option after that?
That would not be GDPR-compatible.

> I am certain ...

We are all aware you are certain.

I think the worst part of your entire post is that your argument boils down to it being irrational to wait until more complete information is known.

Let me quote them again so we're clear on the context that started this conversation.

> ... a vaccine that didn’t even begin testing before spring 2020 __does not have a long enough track record to assure safety__.

Lets consider how you responded

"why do you feel more qualified to say it's unsafe than the people who have spent their entire careers focused on it?"

I would love for you to explain why that's a reasonable response to what the other poster said. Or explain how the other posters statement is irrational.

Because that's the major problem people like you have. You even start attacking me for the egregious wrongthink of not calling someone irrational for having the opinion that we can't be assured of its safety __YET__.

And I realize I'm not going to get through to you, but here's an observation for you.

When you start lumping such middle-of-the-road opinions in with people who believe covid can be spread through 5G networks it's possible you're part of the problem.

> YMMV; I have never successfully gotten ADHD CBT reimbursed by insurance.

The situation has changed significantly under the ACA now that behavioral health is covered as an essential health benefit.

But you do have to go through your insurance company's website to find the in-network providers. As you said, you can't simply pick a therapist and then try to seek reimbursement later.

Some of the cash-only therapists are great if you can afford them. Some therapists strike out on their own as cash-only after building a reputation and a loyal client base. However, it's not a guarantee of success as cash-only also attracts a lot of people who simply want to maximize profit and not deal with insurance, so YMMV.
The 'my colleagues are on twitter by not mastodon' example doesn't feel salient to me. The best example would probably be MMORPG's. Should people who play WoW have access to people who play FFIV? I guess the question would be is social networking more a communications utility like a cell phone or e-mail, or is it more of a recreational activity. Personally I've never felt like not being on facebook took access away from my friends the way not having a phone would. Oddly no one talks about LinkedIn being a monopoly which feels like a more substantive example, since not being on LinkedIn may impact job opportunities. But not being on facebook, instagram, or twitter feels more like I won't be able to recreate with my friends/family and less like I won't be able to communicate with them.
I'm not sure what you mean, that isn't even most software out of the examples you gave. I think snap and flatpak have almost all of those. For Rust and Python I think you can use rustup and pyenv. All of that would be preferable to using a root installer.

If the only option they have is an installer that runs as root, then the safest way to handle that would be to run it inside a docker container. Those companies should probably not be shipping installers on Linux unless they target very specific distributions and are working closely with them to ensure they don't break the upgrade process, otherwise it's going to cause issues.

Edit: here are the snaps and flatpaks and docker images I could find.

I don't know if it's related or not (still trying to figure this out), but I personnally went into a bizarre mental state of mind after hitting the two big milestones I had in life since I was a 20 years old young adult, having 4 kids and creating a recognized SaaS with > 100K$ revenue.

Open protocols and interop seem like a very good goal to aim for. I'm curious how geographical lines would work for Facebook -- would you end up with one Facebook per country? And would we still end up in a situation where you need to have a Facebook account to participate in things like Marketplace or community groups?

Personally I would want to be able to host my own tiny Facebook instance that I control. Ideally I could even invite friends and family to share my ad-free self-hosted instance with a chronological newsfeed setup.
It's interesting you call relationships on Reddit para-social, I don't know if that quite fits the word because Reddit is more of a two-way reciprocal relationship between commenters. Perhaps Twitter fits that description better since you get a lot of power users like Trump and other celebrities which broadcast out to their followers but don't typically respond to normies.
While that is true it doesn’t -just- reflect that. There are similarly more female MDs graduated each year and MDs certainly have good job prospects.
Note that there are more men than women in the population though.
Unknown? You can't work inside Windows at all without those shortcuts. In Emacs it's alt+Backspace, so it's not too hard to organically find in other environments by trial and error.

Whenever I switch editors, I quickly look for the following shortcuts:

* How do you delete a word forwards and backwards? (there might be a better shortcut such as Ctrl+W)

* How do you move to the word ahead and the word behind?

* How do you kill a line?

* How do you duplicate a line?

* How do you move a line up and down?

* How do you activate multiple cursors?

* How do you comment/uncomment a line/block?

* How do you expand/contract a selection?

I think that covers about 80% of the common actions, and learning them will make you instantly productive in your new editor.

Speaking in absolutes, you absolutely could go door to door and hope to find me, but for say, my class in highschool, FB would be their only reasonable way.
I think you are the one doing hand-waving to pretty trivial resolutions of p-zombie problem.

Specifically, that the way I'd define sentience, "qualia", and experience as certain replies to certain stimulae. Namely, sentience as ability (skill level) to play any game like Starcraft, experience as ability to reproduce previously received inputs, and qualia as the set of answers to all possible questions to describe a particular input.

Given these definitions, the construct of Chinese room (which is supposed to be a p-zombie) has all 3.

So unless you can either provide better definitions (without violating Occam's Razor and Popper's criteria) of the 3 concepts, which Chinese room would not satisfy, or give another way to construct a p-zombie, which would not have one of them, but still feel otherwise indistinguishable from "a person", the problem's solution is staring at you right there.

If you support banning Facebook because of addictive potential, then add about 50 other things to the list to ban as well.
If it's to regulate Facebook more, what exact kind of regulation would make it OK again? Age limit, as in 18+ to use? Don't porn sites use that and children still have no issues logging onto those sites.
