> The vaccine significantly slows ths spread

Based on what data do you come to that conclusion?

The vaccination rate of a country is not correlated with its covid infection rate:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10654-021-00808-7

And after 3 months of being fully vaccinated, people are just as likely to spread the virus as unvaccinated people:

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02689-y

From the article:

> Unfortunately, the vaccine’s beneficial effect on Delta transmission waned to almost negligible levels over time. In people infected 2 weeks after receiving the vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca, both in the UK, the chance that an unvaccinated close contact would test positive was 57%, but 3 months later, that chance rose to 67%. The latter figure is on par with the likelihood that an unvaccinated person will spread the virus.
I also remember during the debates Trump was talking up the vaccine and Bidens says something like "And who is going to take it?"

It was rather cool to be anti vaccine 1 year ago. Now its verboten.
real alcoholics don't throw up. they do struggle to eat. in fact its pretty usual to to forget, or just not.

when I quit drinking I was _appalled_ at how much I had to eat. probably twice what I had been. and I lost quite a bit of weight.
Right? We (the US) have enough trouble planning meaningful infrastructure in our communities, let alone a global conspiracy in order to bring about some new world order, apparently coordinated with every other world government.

But, I’ve heard the “planned” argument levied against the CCP, and that it was a bio weapon, and this was a planned release. That argument, while still far fetched, is at least in the realm of possibility for me.

The ends aren’t flat and the containers aren’t structurally designed for that. You’re putting twice the designed load for the bottom of the container on an end that wasn’t made to support that. I’d imagine it would do a fair amount of damage.
It could be that drinking delays eventually handling the problem. Many problems grow when ignored, which is to say that delay is the actual problem. In this case, it is perhaps encouraged and even exacerbated by chronic drunkenness, versus something else like ADHD or cognitive decline.

Debt is a good example of that, because of interest and potential fines that increase the longer payments get delayed.
I’ll disagree with you- Linux very much took off because it’s license is cost free and there was/is an influential FLOSS software philosophical movement.
Can't you track who subscribes to the RSS feed, because of that polling you mentioned.

It is not necessarily evil, but corporate interest led.

When it was created, gitlab core value was to be the open source alternative to GitHub.
Then, it started to add light premium features.

Now, free versions have a lot of frustratingly limited features with nag screens to push you to subscribe.
The free core is less and less a priority and less and less sufficient.

After the ipo, things will get even worse. Most of new shareholders (Ie owners) are just profit led. It's an investment for them and they will want the net result to grow at whatever cost.

Management has no choice else than to follow what shareholders require.

So, if it is economically viable, nothing prevent gitlab to stop new versions to be open source if they think that will make them more profitable.

You don't have the freedom to murder, enslave, or kidnap. I don't think you should have the freedom to spread a deadly disease.

Especially since COVID-19 spreads without symptoms, we have to prioritize prevention.

Besides, we've had our freedoms eroded time and again since the World Trade Centre attacks. Why are some Americans choosing now to draw a line in the sand? Because previously the laws were targeting brown skinned people. And now there's a Democrat in charge, so Republicans want to cause strife and division to get elected in 2022 and 2024.

Hmm I don't know why Singaporeans are so obsessed and repelled by Durian.

It's just a fruit. King of the fruits, as the poets say, but there are a lot of other fruits in the same tier as well.

But as others said, it's probably partly genetical and habituation. Here in Jakarta durian is almost universal in the proper season, and the smell does not turn off people, on the contrary it signals a savory fruit.

Though I myself don't like durian that much. I'll eat it, but not to the point of obsession. I got rambutan for that haha.

Getting hit by a flying durian and die is a not that uncommon way of death though. At least in the pop culture.

Honestly, I support the right of YouTube to not host content they don't want to host, given they own the data centers. This dude is free to get a record deal, play live on the street, or distribute music in any of the other thousands of ways that don't require uploading to YouTube.

But this is still silly. It's a song. Rage Against The Machine has a song claiming the FBI staged the murders of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X and it's the most popular song from The Matrix soundtrack. And an iconic, great song that I love, for what it's worth, even though I doubt the truth of that claim.

Honestly, and completely anecdotally, having been raised Catholic I would expect it to result in quite the opposite when so much of the doctrine is based on guilt. That said before anyone jumps on me, also anecdotally, I haven't found any greater life satisfaction by not being religious either. You do you.

The article says the study suggests there's not a really strong causal relationship in either way which surprises me a little but yeah I can see it given the experience.

And If I were to find religion suddenly again now I imagine it may only increase life satisfaction based on the fact I have no real community at the moment and that I think is probably a more interesting study.

How much has external community (i.e. not close friends, partners and families) breakdown occurred over the last 40 years and what is the effect on our life satisfaction? My grandfather was a part of a bunch of men's clubs etc last I checked most of those are floundering now.
Ok - can someone explain to me how this is funny? Use small words please, I want to understand
Because if enough people do it, that might make a difference.
I don't think so. The law can simply ban it but they know it'll break things. So they opt for the most annoying alternative.

This reminds me of California prop 65 which is as useless if not more than the cookie law. You see it at every random place with the note that "this product may contain a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer or birth defects ..."
People have become fully desensitized to it because it shows up at the parking garage of their work place. If it was a real deal well perhaps it should've been banned.

I'd like to repeal both prop 65 and these cookie laws. Either ban something or fine the perpetrators if it's harmful or stfu /rant
Blue zone theory suggests religion helps people live longer.

Which is the same as life satisfaction. (If you think people who live longer are unhappy or blobs stuck in a bed that's your bizarre world)

Blue Zone theory isn't a great theory, but it's very logical. Ie. Religious people have support later in life, it's a life long hobby anyone can do etc etc.

This 'meta study' of only 4000 is poorly written. I'll assume it's because they are Korean and not because in science poorly written Journal Articles do better.

You can't read much from this study.

Religiosity means little.

They mention in the study they have no idea about attendance for instance which is what matters.

It's not about how strongly you believe. More the fact to use the support structure when needed.
my understanding is that not all containers pay the same (since they are different weights, have different destinations, etc.) and so this mostly screws over the driver who loses the ability to select the best offer.

Podcasts have been distributed via RSS forever, and it did not stop publishers from growing followers, advertise or charge for content. I call BS that RSS doesn’t work for publishers, it was killed by social media because “the feed” turned into the main way to consume content on the web.

I want to extend in this a bit: Scott, Damian, Scott, David, Rich, Immo ... If you read this: fight for a clear ahead of time separation of commercial and non commercial features. Many of us can understand that Microsoft still sells dev tools but we do not like bad communication and stuff taking away which have been there already (at the same time we also think that .NET can only become truly awesome when free tools exists ... because für your competition these exists).
I'm not sure what to feel

On first hand it'd be weird to expect MS to do everything for free

On the other hand the way they handled it (initially they made it free, OSS and promised fanciness) is kinda poor.

On yet another hand maybe they just really sucked at communication, priorities and stuff this time? hard to say.

On yet another hand2 .NET maintainers are really open about a lot of stuff, it's easy to talk to them - let it be asp .net or roslyn/compiler project which makes me giving them the benefit of doubt
I have the same complaint, but I also don’t know how such a thing would be addressed. Ideally I would like to right-click a computed style value in the devtools and be able to hit a “But Why?” option, but I feel like even linking to the relevant part of the relevant spec would be a monumental engineering effort.
I'm not sure what you think you're seeing, but FWIW we turned off the flags on this thread. Individual comments that break the site guidelines still can and should be flagged, of course.
> The vaccination has been thoroughly shown to work

How has this been shown?

Countries with a high vaccination rate don't have a lower infection rate than other countries:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10654-021-00808-7

And after 3 months of being fully vaccinated, whatever level of immunity you had is completely gone by then:

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02689-y

> Unfortunately, the vaccine’s beneficial effect on Delta transmission waned to almost negligible levels over time. In people infected 2 weeks after receiving the vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca, both in the UK, the chance that an unvaccinated close contact would test positive was 57%, but 3 months later, that chance rose to 67%. The latter figure is on par with the likelihood that an unvaccinated person will spread the virus.

The only thing that remains, is some protection against symptomatic disease.
Italy is at 80% and they still see the need to ban unvaccinated people from places. New Zealand is planning to ban unvaccinated people form places after we reach 90% of over-12-year-olds. So even with a massive 80% vaccinated, the vaccine doesn't stop the spread. Maybe it would at 90%? 95%? Who knows.

In New Zealand, the unvaccinated are largely the indigenous Maori, not stereotypical anti-vaxxers.
Battery powered electric vehicles are much more efficient than gasoline engines in terms of energy use per mile. With synthetic oil, you're losing energy both during the synthesis step and while using it. However, I think for airplanes or long term energy storage it could still make a lot of sense.
>because under the hood the React runtime is storing all the hooks you call in an array and firing them off by iterating through the array.

I must correct this. Pay attention to this function [0]

It's just a plain linked list and nothing is being fired off by iterating through the linked list. When you call a hook react either creates a new node in the linked list or it pops the current head off the linked list so that the second hook will get the second element, the third hook the third element and so on.

The hooks are fired off by calling them. React isn't calling them again. Each render simply calls your component function and your function calls the hooks which runs a reducer [1] on the internal queue of the hook to compute the latest state. The second return value is just pushing elements into the internal hook queue.

Are you suggesting Seattle has a better commute situation than Barcelona? Respectfully, that's insane. Moreover, large parts of the city were designed prior to motorized vehicles and encourage frequent mode mixing. High speed is simply not on the table for discussion. The choice is between low speed, low density car traffic, or mixed mode. The latter is clearly much better for neighborhoods and the city as a whole.

The degree you "need" to support the full schema format depends entirely on the language you're using. In Go you only need the annotated structures, or in Java you only need a mapping between field number and name, and the languages' own reflection capabilities can handle the rest.

Yes, strings, bytes, and substructures all appear in the same in the wire format. Just like strings, bytes, and dates all appear the same in JSON. If you're trying to write a generic protobuf viewer like wodenokoto suggests, you can make reasonable assumptions about the contents 99% of the time based on the data, and show the user multiple options if you're not sure. There are already lots of tools that do this, but none very well integrated into mainstream development workflows.
Social media cannot embrace the immunity and authority, but none of the responsibility.
> A city that manages its density appropriately will have faster travel times via cars compared to public transit or biking

This seems like nonsense. Surely public transport has more capacity than cars, or at least it is not guaranteed that cars have more.
Well that explains it, I literally switched from gmail to fastmail 2 days ago and it was going amazingly until last night when I couldn't load it. "Oh great, an unreliable service I just paid a year for" -- this makes me want to support them even more. Their customer support was fantastic. I didn't inquire about the outage, instead a dns issue I'd created.

If you're a heavy gmail user you should read this story of my last year (out of 10+) with them and IMO migrate off as soon as you can. I wish I hadn't used an @gmail as long as I did.

For some unknown reason, they won't tell me, G marked my google pay account as "possible fraud, unable to verify identity" at some point this year. No idea when, I realized it when CC expired and my 3 month old Google Fi account wouldn't pay its bill and it wouldn't let me enter a credit card to pay for any G service. My G services started to drop like flies once my card expired. They locked me out of Google Pay and won't let me enter a new CC to pay for subs/gdrive. I had to clear out the entire 50gb of my gdrive so that I could get EMAIL again to my now "free" gmail account which is hovering around its 15gb limit, that's how old it is. The real kicker; I can't contact support anymore because I'm not a "paying customer" who gets their "world class support."

The fun part of this was I was completely without a cell phone for a week until I got onto ATT. Support (live chat) was completely useless and just sent me to a page to send them a copy of my license and a utility bill. I did that about 4 times now and I still can't change CCs on my Google account to pay for things. And they still won't contact me, won't tell me what the deal is or anything. It's been about 6 months.

I was joking to a friend before I switched to Fi "watch this be a terrible idea, it breaks and I'm without a phone for a month and have nobody to fix it." Welp.

Anyway, I tried out Protonmail months ago and was completely unimpressed with its search, interface, etc. I had low expectations of fastmail (due to proton exp) but it's great, I'm really impressed. It threads conversations like you'd expect and I could actually find things I searched for, I sold a house in the middle of my Proton use and it was miserable keeping track of all of the emails/docs/etc I was getting/sending for some reason. I remember searching for important attachments and it finding 10s or hundreds of attachments that were my realtors signature picture of herself that showed up in every email.

Sorry for the tangent, be very careful of how much you rely on G services because this cliche horror story you randomly see on twitter/reddit completely happened to me. I'll never be able to stop using this @gmail account because I have so, so many things tied to it but I'm going to try my best to undo most of that.

My biggest fear now is that my G account gets completely locked and all of the things I use G to authenticate to will be lost. Undoing all that is a nightmare.

So we can all agree that YT isn't arbitrarily censoring anti-authoritarian conspiracy theories, but is specifically censoring conspiracy theories related to COVID? This seems like a good thing, that they are casting a narrow net, no? Would you prefer they censor ALL anti-authoritarian conspiracy theories?

Of all the scenarios where censorship could be called for, fighting misinformation harmful to public health in a global pandemic seems like a reasonable fish to fry.

That's the point, cars deliver a lot of personal space & comfort that really make it attractive vis a vis public transport.
Yes, and they do. But remember this is in the middle of Los Angeles where property is insanely expensive and ordinances limit how high you can stack your containers. So in order to make any kind of real dent you either need an astronomical capital outlay or you need to get a bunch of containers to emptier land outside the city (i.e. 40+ miles away), and you need to do it without violating customer contracts on where their stuff (goods or the containers themselves) is stored.
I understand. I agree that yes, that would be similarly fruitless. What is to be done?
> When things are complicated, unfortunately, they look easy, and you start to think you understand what's going on. But most people, me included, don't.

That’s fair. The other side of the coin is that class components have their own kinds of failure modes. I have fixed a lot of buggy class components that simply forget that props change - they do some kind of effect-y thing using the first props during didMount, and then never respond to prop changes aside from `render()`. With hook components, the linter will get mad about that sort of thing. In either case there’s gotchas, but I like that useEffect helps people avoid leaking and think about changing props.
