Probably my favorite feature over common lisp. Combined with comma (,) being treated as whitespace (ie, use comma if you want to but you don't have to), makes typing out data structures in clojure a much more enjoyable process than other languages.

This ease of typing out data structures also extends to edn (clojure's version of json)

Tether maybe used to be a huge risk for the Bitcoin price a few years back. Notice that we are only talking about the $ price here and not the tech.

The market is way more robust now, especially now that Ethereum is so huge and provides way cleaner alternatives like DAI and USDC.
hard disagree. usually arguments are the other way, that systemd pid1 implies that there's not going to be competition for systemd-timesync or systemd-networkd or systemd-bootd. but none of these fears have panned out: it's easy to drop in other modules in these spots, and there are many offerings still.

and to address this new concern, i dont think replacing systemd would be so hard. and i dont think it would be so difficult to replace systemd init/pid1 while still using other systemd services. systemd is more a mono-repo; there's very little notable hard runtime coupling between the different pieces.

i expressed elsewhere in the comments a sadness that upstarts death has lead us to monoculturism. i do want to see us exploring & trying. but i dont think systemd init/pid1 is deeply rooted, i dont think it's a particularly difficult thing to replace. some not-very-big translation layers will get through 99.9% of what distos actually use, to address point 1. and i simply disagree on point 2..there already are competing offerings and what systemd kffers does not often insist on being run under systemd.
This is an engineering error at its heart. By design the spike protein were supposed to be expressed and embedded in the surface of the cell where they could be recognized by the immune system. Some proportion of them lingering and having any action within the cell was not foreseen.

I'm not saying that the story has changed, just that it likely has since this was published.
TLDR: some vaccine maybe safer than other.

This article calls out "full–length spike–based vaccine".

"suggests that the use of antigenic epitopes of the spike as a SARS–CoV–2 vaccine might be safer and more efficacious than the full–length spike"

"This work will improve the understanding of COVID–19 pathogenesis and provide new strategies for designing more efficient and safer vaccines."

I did mushrooms a bit in the 90s and remember either feeling sick of having no appetite (and then being really hungry afterward). Thinking back I really don't remember any instance of eating while on them. Just for the sake of comparison, its interesting. I can picture how one could become caught up in some sensation to do with eating.

This is something that actually differs for people [citation needed]. As in, please do google, but fiber works perfectly for some people while fiber does nothing for others. It's genetics. So you're both right and wrong ;)

I'd be more interested in scaling that by calories. I.e. what happens if you make all of those the same amount of calories instead of grams. I think that does wonders for how we eat.

One of the benefits of keto for example (once you're actually in at least mild ketosis) is that you don't actually feel hungry any longer and the calories are just taken from your fat stores. The body no longer 'cares' for easily usable carbs. It has come to terms with the fact that there are no carbs to use and thus it no longer 'sends the signal to go eat more carbs'. It 'knows' that there's a lot of fat stored in the body that it can use up and so it just does that.

I dunno if you're done keto but one thing that happened, at least for me, is that foods that normally don't taste sweet started tasting sweet. E.g the first pancake I had after starting keto (and being in blood test verified ketosis) did definitely taste sweet (recipe: spelt flour, egg, milk) without anything on it.

This is where I think the 'fasting' of many religions has health benefits (nevermind that none of that is explained and it's just religious tradition/rules - but they were onto something basically).
They're mentioning it here as though they're unhappy. Doesn't sound like someone that's beneficial for them outside of funds, if anything.

> BNT162b2 is a lipid nanoparticle–formulated, nucleoside-modified RNA vaccine that encodes a prefusion stabilized, membrane-anchored SARS-CoV-2 full-length spike protein.

> The two mRNA vaccines in current widespread application (BioNTech-Pfizer and Moderna) (Table 1) are technologically very similar. They contain codon-optimized sequences for efficient expression of the full-length S protein and use the authentic signal sequence for its biosynthesis44,45,46,47 (Fig. 1b).

> The unifying feature of all current adenovirus-vaccine vectors is the replacement of one of the early adenoviral genes (E1) for the full-length SARS-Cov-2 S gene in the adenoviral DNA (Fig. 4a) and the additional deletion of E3

From this post:

> To date, many approved SARS–CoV–2 vaccines, such as mRNA vaccines and adenovirus–COVID–19 vaccines, have been developed based on the full–length spike protein

If the mRNA and adenovirus vector vaccines weren't expressing the full-length spike, this research would be pointless in the context of the vaccines and the researchers wouldn't raise their findings as a possible efficacy and safety issue for the vaccines.

You're not necessarily inviting chaos, you're making a cost/benefit analysis of moving faster or safer. I prefer to move faster.

Moving safer takes up a lot of, imo, unnecessary time with dubious payoffs. I'd personally rather live on the side of YOLO and ship a lot then hem/haw over getting certain % unit test coverage (and the maintenance costs that come with that in the face of uncertain requirements).

people can live suburban lives without the US' suburban sprawl. We manage it in Europe without anywhere near as much space. York (UK) is a lovely though small-ish city that's mostly suburban, but also mixed development and highly walkable. The problem isn't that Americans want gardens and big houses; it's that the US is built around the car, so suburbs are plonked down in the middle of nowhere off some arterial road.

Is it a crisis? Or does it show things in a different light - if 1 in 7 Australians has tried it, and the sky hasn't fallen in yet, maybe that means it's not quite as awful as we've been led to believe by the tone of reportage around this drug?

That's not to say it's good, and clearly there are massive negative consequences, but I see meth painted as a boogie-man, where the reality is likely more nuanced. This is an addictive, destructive drug, but there's more to a life spiraling out of control than just the substance at hand.

I don't think so. Market makers normally buy before having a specific seller in mind. I think eBay and Amazon's 3rd party sellers transact directly to customers, and just pay those sites a cut of each sale. eBay only is able to charge that fee (really, it's an economic rent) due to a monopoly enforced by network effects. A classic market failure. (I'm not as sure about Amazon but I wouldn't be surprised if a similar effect was at play.)

Commenters calling your comment ‘myopic’ is the pot calling the kettle black. Their attitude exemplifies the problem of the commoditization of a fundamental human need. They sacrifice the long term health of the housing market for short term profit. It’s shameful and I expect better from people who so often claim to be educated and logical.

"Up to" 6 months isn't long lasting, thats salesmen speak, and the average again was 53% after 4 months.

>vaccine effectiveness against infections of the delta variant was high during the first month after full vaccination (93% [95% CI 85–97]) but declined to 53% [39–65] after 4 months.

>Reduction in vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 infections over time is probably primarily due to waning immunity with time rather than the delta variant escaping vaccine protection.

Its why its important to get a booster shot. Most people who didn't get vaccinated also don't go to the hospital or die, so its not like that information is significant when the control isn't a black and white difference. People don't want to get infected in the first place so they don't get long covid.
Yeah. We still need to see how Facebook/Meta wants to materialize this.
Maybe they want to break the boundaries between your real self (as you consume apps like WhatsApp and Instagram), your social profile (true self in virtual world like the closed garden in Facebook) and the avatar in a world like Second Life. This would be a gold mine, because they already can target ads to you in the real world, so they could do it there too. Doing it were the people use fake avatars is not so easy.

So think that every user is an inhabitant, a citizen, a potential buyer in the virtual and the real world, but also a potential business owner in the virtual world.
Business owners will be tax payers that must pay fees to operate on this city-state that will have internal laws that except for few cases (at most) will not be subject to government laws and constitutional protection, and if you are difficult or problematic the authority will be able to expatriate you without prior notice, regardless of time or money invested in the platform. Maybe, at most, they could offer arbitration with a company that knows that if they don't favor Meta the contract will not be renewed.
So yeah. It is a good idea, if they can pull it.

This is the toughest part of the content treadmill. I’ve been blogging for 10+ years, newslettering for ~7, and infoproducting for ~6. It’s a tougher gig than many realize.

For the past year or so I’ve been trying to figure out how to get off the treadmill but keep newslettering. Experiments with evergreen sequences are proving very fruitful. People love reading old stuff if it’s good.

The part I haven’t figured out yet is how to monetize. That seems easier when you’re running the treadmill because you can always sell new stuff to old fans.

Breakfast (560 - 640 Cal)

* Two servings of frosted mini-wheats (120g - 400 Cal)

* 1 or 1 1/2 cups (240/360 ml - 160/240 Cal) of whole milk

To fill out a day when I was eating super carefully my lunches (1/2 each) would be 1 cups of steamed broccoli and 1/2 a Turkey sandwich.

Lunchs Total (566 Cal) - 1/2 per lunch

* Broccoli (200g - 72 Cal)

* 2 Slices Oroweat whole wheat bread (200 Cal)

* 4 oz deli Black Pepper Turkey (164 Cal)

* 2 Tsp whole grain mustard (30 Cal)

* 1 Tbsp Miracle Whip (25 Cal) / 1 Tbsp Mayonnaise (100 Cal)

Pair that with a dinner of Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pie (600 - 930 Cal)

* 10 Oz Chicken Pot Pie (600 Cal) / 15 Oz (930 Cal)

So without any snacks or beverages that puts me at 1,726 Cal - 2,136 Calories.

If I had a glass of milk with lunch and dinner and some Almonds for a snack (1 oz 175 Cal) that would add another (495 - 655 Calories).

Total of 2,221 Cal - 2,791 Cal.

And this is me watching what I eat, but just getting a little sloppy around snacks and beverages. I could easily blow past that by having a Red Bull or soda. Maybe some dessert at some point in the day. It could be easy to add another 1,000 Cal.

It's both, even in those situations. By the time someone is doing that, it's likely they've been through years of habituation to alcohol and their brain is wired to respond positively to the stuff because of the effect.

To non-drinkers who have never drunk alcohol or have not for a long time, it seems these flavours don't work so well, and all wine is quite nasty (this is anecdotal data from observing such folk).

So yes, subjectively I love the taste of a good red, or a well made cocktail, or a fine rum. But the effect of the drug is bound up in my neurological response to it as well as just the flavour.
