> This data is pretty easy to find, so not sure what was stopping you from gathering it. One tip is to look at the requirements of vaccine certificates in use in Europe.

Actually, it isn't because your claim goes against pretty much all the information made available. Thus, the onus to substantiate your extraordinary claim is on you, specially because the odds that you've misunderstood or misrepresented your assertion are quite high.

> In the Swiss system, if you have a positive antibody test from a previous infection, you get a certificate for 180 days.

And here lies your mistake. Contrary to the original claim, Switzerland absolutely does not classify people who gained immunity from exposure the same as vaccinated. At all. If you take the time to read your own source, you'll notice that a) Switzerland supports both vaccine passports and certificate of prior infection, which are entirely different classifications, b) those who decide to only present a certificate of prior infection are forced to go through additional checks such as mandatory PCR tests prior to travel and after arriving, c) this only limited to international travel.

> The EU covid certificate is given along similar lines as the Swiss.

If you read up on the EU's COVID certificate you'll find out that the EU imposes high requirements for the certificate, such as not accepting PCR tests as proof of a prior COVID infection. Also, the same EU requires that those who were verifiably infected with COVID take at least a single vaccination dose to be deemed fully vaccinated.

That's science, that is!

We have systematically reduced the world's ecosystems into smaller and smaller islands and this bloke has demonstrated what happens on smaller islands: loss of diversity, fewer species.
Do keep in mind that these raw counts are meaningless, and arguably scare-mongering. Some number of people will have a heart attack regardless of whether they had the vaccine... If all these numbers were zero, we should all get the vaccine simply to live in perfect health forever!

We also know that the usual mechanism for bad reactions to vaccines is allergic reaction, which is easily observed on a short timescale, and basically doesn't happen with the covid vaccines.

This is something we are currently building at Klarrio on top of YugabyteDB.

We have opted for YugabyteDB table spaces to solve the isolation problem. We allocate a number of dedicated tablet servers to a tenant so that their db objects are close to each other. YugabyteDB executes queries only on those tablet servers where the data relevant to the query is. A resource heavy tenant doesn’t have an impact on other tenants. It’s not really “serverless” but does seem to solve the problem at a cost.

Tenants receive complete databases with grant permissions so they can do as they please.

Because YugabyteDB uses Postgres 11 under the hood, we have an additional sanity layer in form of a Postgres process utility hook which prevents the tenant from escaping the sandbox.

I don't think you read my comment at all. Odd.

Yes, like I pointed out, you need a PCR test every 180 days to get the certificate. But it's the same certificate as if you had a vaccine with the same access rights. That means that no, you don't need to get a vaccine as long as you got the disease (it's extremely unlike no antibodies will be detected if you were truly infected and recovered, but if you were diagnosed with a false positive, then no, a PCR test wont detect antibodies).

And expect to be required to get regular boosters on the vaccine side as well, so everyone will need to go through a process to keep the certificate, it does not last forever.

It was a big thing in World of Warcraft in particular because the internet was so unreliable when Wow release that they wanted the player to be able to do things when all your packets dropped for a few seconds (well maybe a whole minute)

But they didn't really compensate for exploiting this to do things that were actually impossible. (ie speed hacks)
Inflation is uneven, and it tends to pool in markets that are:

a.) close to the point where the money is injected

b.) have quick-adapting prices, ideally ones where competitors bid against each other

c.) are dominated by 1-2 firms with little competition, so they have pricing power.

Google and Facebook tick all the boxes. In COVID money was injected directly to the consumers (thanks to stimulus payments) and to small or mid-size business (PPP loans). Google and Facebook run up-to-the-minute ad auctions, so prices adapt immediately to additional money becoming available. And they have little real competition, so it's not like they can be undercut by competitors.

By contrast, wages (for example) a.) require that your employer have more money, which generally requires that it have trickled down through the whole value chain b.) get updated usually once per year and c.) generally require that your competition also decide they're going to ask for more money too, less your employer just decide to employ someone else. That's why wages are often the last and stickiest place that inflation shows up.

The general phenomena of certain businesses being able to raise prices earlier, faster, and more than others in response to rising money supply is called the Cantillon Effect, and is a pretty fertile ground for making lots of money in an inflationary environment.
Money helps. Though IME there are intangibles like agreement over how to raise the kids or at least flexibility in how to resolve challenges.
One of the comments there:

"Just did a bit more digging, and IANA actually assigns port 5000 to "commplex-main" - so really any other service that's using that port is violating the official assignment. Based on a quick search of what commplex-main is, it's related to UPnP for network device discoverability. I'm not sure exactly what the AirPlay Receiver service does, but I get the gist that it probably does fit somewhere into the scope of UPnP-related features. At the very least, it's probably a far more accurate usage of port 5000 than some random dev servers."

So looks like they are actually IANA-compliant. Baseless rant.

I'm not sure about that. These days in the backend you need a lot of libraries for cloud providers and new databases/services. For example, is there a Common Lisp library for AWS/Azure/Google cloud? Is there one for Clickhouse?

> Natural immunity confers with it resistance to a number of different covid-19 viral proteins, not just the spike

I am personally closer to the antivax group than the provax group( at least in terms of mandates, because abrogation of bodily autonomy is straight up evil ), but I have to take issue with this statement.

While you are probably correct, we need to worry about biomechanics and effectiveness. If the S protein is the specific means of entry, that's definitely the one we should target. There's no reason to target proteins that don't actually bind to anything.

There are other issues regarding what are the limits to the memory of our circulating B cells. If my immune system has to "swap out" memory of, say, polio, in order to accommodate antibodies to eight different viral proteins, I'd rather it only remember one, if it's just as effective.

Check out Marginalia [1] which has been posted about and mentioned a few times on HN in the past. It’s a search engine which aims to show more text-heavy websites.

This is a different issue than what I was talking about.

Client-side hacks that control player input or give information to the player that they shouldn't have (ie, being able to see through walls) is hard to deal with. I'll give you that.

But what is EASY to deal with is the client doing things they shouldn't be able to, like shoot through bullet-proof walls.

And I'm not talking about cases of running behind cover but dying anyways because lag compensation meant that you saw yourself behind the wall, but the other player didn't because what they see is 100 ms behind what you see. I'm talking about cases where you were never exposed from cover to begin with, and the client is allowed to decide if a hit is done or not. In another comment, I linked several examples of players in PUBG scoring hits that were straight-up not possible due to lack of line-of-sight.

Here's a good example: https://youtu.be/2Gn2Sixr5Wk

> I really disagree. I think engineers scratching their own itch leading down to trickle-down tooling is what a lot of independent devs _like to believe_, but that it's motivated mostly by self-importance. I think the utter failure of the FOSS desktop is proof that devs are motivated to work on things they find fun and that these things do _not_ necessarily translate to things that general users want to use.

I'm not a desktop environment developer, but I can't imagine it's especially fun compared to other projects. The bigger projects (Gnome, KDE, etc) are definitely being run for instrumentalist reasons, and are supported to quite a degree by companies with a business interest in having them.

Thinking about this reminded me of a highly insightful comment by user Floegipoky[0]:

> By mimicking the Apple and Microsoft tactic of constructing vast monolithic environments and applications, you have all unwittingly been playing to their strengths, not yours. Such enormous proprietary companies can afford such brute-force strategies because they have vast financial and manpower resources to draw on.

> Projects like Gnome and Open Office become like our banking industries: vast, baroque, impossible to regulate effectively, and cripplingly expensive to maintain.

Doesn't exactly sound fun — and whose itch is being scratched by working on these?

> the Linux desktop world (and even the kernel world beneath it) has completely and utterly forgotten its roots. Unix Philosophy isn't merely a neat marketing phrase: it describes a very specific way to construct large, complex systems. Not by erecting vast imposing monoliths, ego-gratifying as that may be, but by assembling a rich ecosystem of small, simple, plug-n-play components that can be linked together in whatever arrangement best suits a given problem.

> but given that the access was unauthorized

The access was not unauthorized. In addition to that, a lot of people thought the service was actually launched - there was no authorization step anywhere in the interface, nor mention that it was a "pre-release" or testing deployment.

> Does the developers making this publicly accessible for testing constitute a release?

This has nothing to do with what was done with the software by which users - they all have the same right to the source. All users have the same rights.

> Does the developers making this publicly accessible for testing constitute a release?

Yes. The software was available to users, therefore, those users have the right to see the modified code of the application they used, as granted by the AGPL3 license to which the website operators agreed.
In my experience Windows is the generally the best supported for general embedded work, video, graphics, audio, hobbyist, IDEs, etc. Linux has the best for server and server related hardware but is often pretty equal..ish?

So, basically Amazon is in a win-win situation. If the status quo prevails, they're happy. If they have to start charging for shipping, maybe some customers go to a local bookstore but Amazon also has a legal mandate to make more profit in their book sales by not subsidizing shipping out of the wholesale margin. And while some people will buy local a bit more, Amazon sells so many things and the local store may still have to order your book and get it to you slower than Amazon, keeping Amazon as the most convenient option... I don't see a long-term downside for Amazon here.

You should read your own source. Even though the swiss COVID certificate applies to those who "have had a COVID-19 vaccination, have had and recovered from the disease or have tested negative", neither case is treated the same at all. You already admitted that by referring to the additional requirements for those who did not took the vaccine, such as a series of mandatory tests.
