I don't know about this specific case but previously (e.g. with AZ) the concern was not that a specific vaccine had worse side effects on younger people.

It was a balance of the risks of the vaccine pretty much in general versus the risks of Covid by age range.

So basically if the risk of Covid is high it makes to get any vaccine available. But if the risk of Covid is very, very low then you may start considering what the risks of getting the vaccine are.

Probably this. It should be also noted that the Cominarty does use lower mRNA strands per gram than Moderna, so maybe overreaction of the immune system is the cause and dosage should be accordingly be lowered.
I deeply love my local nonprofit/coop radio stations; the personalities, the history, and the diversity of the music they play all add up to a strong feeling of community.

5 6-month stints in a row is a red flag for me (as a hiring manager).

If you have 3 18-24 month stints (and ideally earned a promotion at any company [rather than only on a company change]), and a couple of shorter ones, it's fine.

People are overly worried about the second case, IMO. If you're at a company that sucks, the very best thing you can do is change companies.
Nope. Here in Ireland where they have major offices not only is there no Apple retail but they only offer the Aluminium versions of Apple Watch. Currently no providers offer eSIM for Apple Watch but that shouldn’t stop me buying a better screen.
I totally agree, and this jives with my feeling that no-code is an evolution or a codification of the best practices and principles "hammered out" as you say over the years by regular software development.
For anyone who is curious (and acolytes of Zalgo): "In Unicode, character rendering does not use a simple character cell model where each glyph fits into a box with given height. Combining marks may be rendered above, below, or inside a base character. So you can easily construct a character sequence, consisting of a base character and “combining above” marks, of any length, to reach any desired visual height, assuming that the rendering software conforms to the Unicode rendering model."

I happened to tune on during the part of the live trial. At first was funny seeing them using works like logarithms incorrectly, but then the other side didn't do a great job at explaining either. As he kept saying everyone pinches and zooms and knows what that does so no expert is needed. But just because people all use the feature, that doesn't mean the average person would know if ai is enhancing/inserting pixels to do that or not. Because of this poor argument, later on when he finally starts to touch more on the reality that it has to do with resolution and you are just zooming in our out of full resolution... it was too late, since the by then the judge was confused enough and lacked confidence in both sides to hear it. The magifying glass example didn't seem like a good way to explain that. And finally while pinch to zoom is just bring you close to the real full resolution, off the top of my head, I'm not sure if you keep zooming into the deepest detail if say Apple Photos, etc, does apply any techniques of inserting pixels to show even larger or if stops at the max resolution. Or if the user has accessibility modes on if that further amplifies beyond the available data. And whether that's via linear interpolation like watching an evidence photo on a big screen tv or a different technique. So depending on how much they are zooming in, etc, it's not a completely crazy question to ask. But they could have probably just googled and got answers to that pretty quickly.

Government doesn't have rights. It has power that the people tolerate.

They've only had that power (in the US) since the late 1940s and early 1950s when licensing became a national thing.

And there's a hell of a lot of procedure and safeguards that prevent them from exercising that power arbitrarily.

If you just argue economical we should continue to burn fossile energy, because its pretty cheap. In smaller countries the amount of space for solar panels and sufficient amount of wind is not given.

Nocode has its place, and the problem area it can reasonably address will grow over time, but at the end of the day good automation requires the same thing any other software system requires: complex logic and, therefore, tests.

Code is going to be the most efficient way to express and verify that logic.

I asked this a few hours ago here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29187754

Here's my take, quoted from my thread:

I've slowly started appreciating the nocode / low-code movement. At first: I thought it was a lazy person's dream, but more and more I realize a lot of the low hanging fruit that you can do with code has been done and there's little left to make. I mean, why bother re-invent the wheel right? So now I just leverage software made by other people typically GUIs / point-and-click tools and a bunch of online services to automate burdensome tasks.

I still write simple one-liner helper scripts in my free time though, typically userscripts that I place into Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey to automate a bunch of stuff and make the web more accessible. I call this 'low code' so I'm not entirely reliant on GUIs.

What's your thought on the movement? Do you like the term 'nocode'?

I'm actually a geophysicist. I do have a pretty good idea not only of how large the moon is, but of where it is in relation to earth, it's age, common rock types found there, origin theories, its effect on earth, its cultural usage down through time, etc.

In my own work I have used knowledge of tidal effects to help me correct seismic data to optimize subsurface resolution so that companies could determine whether there was a resource there that could be economically exploited.

"Researchers find a higher than expected risk of myocarditis in young men after full vaccination."

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/09/health/researchers-find-a...

Particularly this one from article above:

"...Boys between 16 and 19 years of age had the highest incidence of myocarditis after the second dose, according to a second study in the journal. The risk of heart problems in boys of that age was about nine times higher than in unvaccinated boys of the same age..."

Edit: The article above has a quote that I find fascinating

"Myocarditis is among the concerns that may have led the Food and Drug Administration to ask Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna to enroll more children in their vaccine trials. Potential side effects are likely to dominate the discussion when agency advisers meet next week to review the evidence for a vaccine in children aged 5 to 11 years."

What kind of person voluntarily enrolls their children in vaccine "trials"?

> SLS and Orion are left over from the dark days and they need to be canceled

They do, but remember they were the low-risk bet, on tech and engines NASA already had, with contractors they already had. It most likely (Starship isn't in service just yet) will not pay, but, still, it was the right decision at the time. Betting that SpaceX would be able to a reusable booster would be risky and betting they'd be able to deliver a fully-reusable super-heavy-lift rocket would be insane.

NASA's role is not to offer the best flights for the money, but to keep the aerospace industry busy and up-to-date with their own latest technology (and to prevent them from working for foreign powers). The science is mostly a side-effect.

I'm not so sure about that. I think there's valid healthy skepticism about the mRNA shots but the loudest people protesting are firebreathers with no coherent argument or thought
How would a "passive monitoring" device differentiate impaired driving from simple bad driving? If it can't, does this law simply mandate a certain quality of driving? Potentially not a bad idea.

Extending half-jokingly, if we can adequately, uniformly, and proactively enforce a certain quality of driving... would that ultimately make drunk driving ok, as long as it's good enough?

I have a relative who's been programming since forever (although he would never call himself a programmer), and he talks about the first time he saw FORTRAN IV. Finally there was a language where you didn't have to be a programmer or know about computers to use. You just typed in what you wanted the computer to do and it did it. You could solve your own problems without having to wait for the programmers to do it for you. So clearly the desire to get "programming" out of the exclusive domain of programmers is hardly a new thing.

We don't even yet know for sure the mechanism by which the vaccine can cause myocarditis. There are various theories, a number of them related to the spike protein itself.

My sample size is small so this might be way off but here is my guess:

Companies fundamentally want* to be able to treat software developers as completely fungible assembly line workers. The company's dream is to be able to fire and replace all of the software developers at any moment and lose little by doing so. This partly explains the heavy emphasis that tech companies place on process, project management, and so on even if the developers dislike all of those things. The company must pay for recruitment - there is no other choice because the company must get employees in. However, to pay for retention would contradict the fundamental company dream of making all of the software developers completely replaceable. Basically, retaining the employees is not one of the more significant company goals. Companies' actual goal usually is to make it so that the developers are as fungible and replaceable as possible. Companies want to be able to treat the engineering team kind of like an abstract arbitrarily scalable asset in a video game. Want to replace all of the engineers? Sure, push a button and it happens - you might lose 10% of this quarter's numbers but that's acceptable. Want to scale your team up and go from having 15 developers to 30 developers? Push a button! Want to go up to 60! Boom, do it - the point is that the company has the process that makes the developers fungible - to focus on retention would be silly, the company's goal is to focus on recruiting and then turning the new recruits into replaceable and fungible assembly line workers who are part of an arbitrarily and abstractly scaleable team. Companies don't dream so much about hiring amazing developers - they dream more about setting up a process that will let them hire developers at scale and plug them into a money-making machine that keeps going no matter how retention is going. As a developer working for a company, the end-users are not your real customers. The management and all of their politics are your real customers. What they want is to not think about you. If I go to a restaurant and order some food, generally I do not want to think about how many people are working there or what exactly they are doing - I just want my food. Same with companies and developers - what they want is to just be able to turn the development team into an abstract source of software development. Focusing too much on retainment would tie them too much to a given set of developers. They do not want that. What they want is to set up a process that lets them treat the engineering team as an abstract and arbitrarily scaleable machine that creates software.

*When I say that companies want something this is of course anthropomorphizing a process but what I mean is that the overall totality of the people in the company operating according to various incentives lead to things happening that might in short be described as the company wanting certain things.
