If a person dies within 14 days after taking the vaccine (eg due to side effects), it is counted as an “unvaccinated covid-related death”?
Yeah, this is the biggest reason I switched to MacOS. Not enough time / mental energy to deal with scaling fonts on external displays.
Who says the vaccinated believe they're immune? I certainly don't.
Because they are more responsible.
Because vaccinated people mostly don't believe they're immune. We believe we have a strong protection against infection and a stronger protection against death, but that doesn't mean immunity.

My wife and I have been fully vaccinated since May, but we've had several tests since then (so far all negative) when we learned about contact with infected people or were experiencing suspicious symptoms.

Argument that VAERS is under-reporting events: https://www.skirsch.com/covid/TFNT11.pdf
https://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?IDNUMBER=221...

According to VAERS, alien abduction may occur with certain type of vaccines.
In the US, that was the case for most of 2021. Around Q3 2021, some reports started including numbers for "partly vaccinated".

If there isn't a separate line item for cases prior to 14-days-after-final-shot, then those are usually rolled into "not vaccinated" or "unvaccinated".

Some countries have always had separate reporting for partly-vaccinated.
> The vaccinated are also likely to be taking other mitigation strategies seriously.

It could also be true that vaccinated people are willing to take greater risks now that they knowingly have a level of protection.

What if the nearest crash test protocol is an absolute "worst case" scenario like the "small overlap test" [0]. Here, getting any additional coverage would improve the outcome, even though it makes it less similar to the most-relevant IIHS test.

Don't have non-vaccinated people less risk of dying as a baseline ? (because if they are against vaccine, probably they statistically have less comorbidities, otherwise they'd take the vaccine).
If this is the case, then it would mean the vaccine is even more effective than it seems.

I would think camera-based navigation would be fairly successful at this point. We can easily store large amounts of image and terrain data, and deep learning based image recognition systems are quite powerful. I would think that by limiting your image search space based on your likely position would make the problem even easier to solve.

Terrain based navigation is certainly nothing new(1950s?), so there is probably a large pool of research into it, but I wonder what's been done with recent pattern recognition advances?

I have no opinion on the capital gains tax rate (for individuals).

Just that it's dynamically adjusted as needed to meet a defined policy goal. Like reducing inequity.

The never ending tug of war drives me nuts. I get that rhetoric about taxes is more about campaigns than policy. And I don't know that capital gains rax rate is even the most important parameter.

So while I'm totally fine with repeated radical cachectomies, I'm also fine with simply rolling back GWB & Trump tax breaks, or Warren's 2% wealth tax. Whatever works.

I can't recall previously disagreeing with anything you've written. So I'm pretty sure I misunderstood your point about double taxation.

The only takeaway from that I get from that FAQ is that he's annoyed people think it's fake despite the fact that he admits he made up almost every aspect of the story.

It's an entertaining story without changing numbers to bogus ones. So why did he basically lie about everything? Because it never happened and when he concocted the story he wasn't very smart.

>there are legal penalties for submitting false information

It's never enforced.
There's at least a baseline of tests from activities which require a negative test report. For example, traveling to canada requires a negative covid test before crossing the border, so I'd expect vaccinated people to get tests at at least that baseline.

I do agree this data would be more compelling and reliable if we did covid tests of a random sample of the population and compiled infection data from that, entirely removing any self-selection bias.

Yes, it's very convenient for those who wish to criticize VAERS that random people can enter random garbage. But even a few minutes spent scrolling through VAERS will show a large number of credible entries.

At any rate, everyone agrees that VAERS can provide a necessary-but-not-sufficient signal, which is why the CDC VSD exists (large database of adverse events from HMOs and other sources). Hence, any trend (good or bad) from VAERS can be confirmed or repudiated by CDC VSD, https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/ensuringsafety/monitoring/...

This tech stuff isn't a natural monopoly.

The defining characteristic of a natural monopoly is that customer is paying a large amount per unit to cover costs that stay the same no matter the amount of usage. The per-unit cost for most of this tech stuff is approximately zero, and the ones that aren't zero (e.g. semiconductor manufacturing) have significant unit production costs and are not a natural monopoly either.

It's also questionable whether even "natural monopolies" would be monopolies absent regulation. It's more efficient to have a single power grid, but if there was no law granting a statutory monopoly to a single provider and the existing provider became abusive, somebody would build a parallel power grid. Because having two would cost twice as much as having one, but that's still less than paying five times as much to an unrestrained monopolist. So the result of unregulated "natural monopoly" still isn't a monopoly, it's just competition which is unusually inefficient.
First: It's a blog post; it's not an advertisement for architectural services. "Legally protected" isn't going to stop something that isn't legally recognizable as an infringing use of the word.

Miraculous vaporware hype until proven otherwise. Something working in a lab is vastly different from manufacturable.
I like talk of fuel cells, alternate energy storage mediums and all that. But there's always the question of where the energy comes from.

All energy we use comes from the sun. Every single drop of it. For a billion years plankton and algae were sequestered from the biosphere and converted to the explosive energy "source" we use now to allow for our population and standard of living, this is petroleum, but the energy came from the sun. We are lucky. Even wind, which is fluid current, is caused by convection from energy that originated in the sun. Hydroelectric is water rushing downwards, that was moved upwards by the sun evaporating water. Even fission is energy in elements that was stores there from fusion in the sun.

So where do you get the energy from? The entire earth needs energy from the sun for the biosphere to continue. You aren't going to get the energy you got from it slowly accumulating over a billion years, waiting for us to find it, not without paving the earth in solar panels. Short of sending a dyson swarm to collect solar energy from the vast surface area of the sun that does not radiate onto the earth directly, you're not going to get an energy source that is more environmentally friendly than burning petroleum, because you have to pave the natural landscape just to get a miniscule percentage of what tectonic activity accrued on our behalf for a billion years.

This is what people who talk about carbon neutral and environmentally friendly energy fail to grasp. There is energy out there that isn't oil, but it requires more disruption to natural ecosystems than burning oil, and it is far less energy dense. The best thing that can be done is to use oil to launch solar panels into orbit around the sun and somehow send that energy here, what you're ultimately doing is creating a lens to concentrate solar radiation to earth in a round about way. Bar that, you're talking about eradicating a significant portion of the human population.

i've used fusion 360 professionally and version control was terrible, and i bet it still is. it was a huge pain using it on a professional project although it holds a lot of promise. the teams working on it were just cranking out more bullshit features like ipad support and 3d printing instead of fixing key issues like version control, part reuse workflows, constraints causing crashes, and general performance issues with large (realistic) product assemblies.

subversion with turtoiseSVN worked well for me and was perfect in that it was version control for newbies. until I was forced to use git because it was the hot new thing. no real reason for me to use git, but there you go.

It's a difficult argument, but perhaps one on quality could be made (IANAL and maybe talking out my ASS). By having Amazon promote their lesser-quality-but-supposed-same-product the consumer is being hurt. I argue this as I have spent too much on Amazon Basics. One specific case, USB cables, I had to go buy am alternate brand of the same product soon thereafter.

That is splitting hairs to avoid reality. WSB found an over-subscribed short position and exploited it. But because this happened in public, A LOT of people piled on. So in the end the main thing moving the price was the WSB hype, but the squeeze was still there. It was the trigger that made everything else happen.
It would be good if you add an action button below the preview box, so that user can directly click on it to mint the nft.
Agreed that this will happen, but I also think this is exactly the same thing that's expected of store brands: cheaper, but could be of lower quality.
A proper comparison would require controlled studies which opens up the can of worms related to early treatment, which has been debated ad-naseum, but is perhaps now more politically palatable since Pfizer is shipping an early-treatment drug. We've known since May 2020 that the consequences of Covid infection depend dramatically on the timing of treatment relative to the progression of infection.
> The vaccinated are also likely to be taking other mitigation strategies seriously.

It may not be the case in Texas, but I’d imagine the vaccinated are at equal or even greater risk than the unvaccinated because they are able to do more (attending events, school, etc).

Amazing that an article about this topic would totally ignore, or be totally ignorant of, the forensic expert who was brought in to explain interpolation to the judge, defense, and prosecution.

It did not prove the idea impossible. Just trivial/naive versions of the idea which ignore the halting problem or incompleteness theorem.
If 92.47% of all stores in the USA were only Walmart then yes, there would be a national interest in determining how grocery store competition had been destroyed/denied and we would want to fix it.

In such a situation you would see a degradation of store product quality vs price. It might not be so clear with internet search because Google’s ascendence was coincident with innovation that it has hoovered up. But once you see competition restored, with things like the return of a Search API, or of more transparent ranking metrics, or of customizable ranking algorithms then you will begin to see what you are missing.

It's not much use if the data isn't broken down by age, as that is an enormous risk factor with Covid.

Here's some better data, from the UK:

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

The relevant data is on Table 4, page 15. Eg: For the 30-39 age group, Covid death rate amongst the unvaccinated was 0.7 per 100,000, and it was 0.1 per 100,000 for the double vaccinated. For the over 80 age group, it was 117 per 100,000 for the unvaccinated, and 47 per 100,000 for the vaccinated.

If anything, it's more effective for young people...

I’m going to expand on OPs initial question and offer that organizing documents is one part of a personal database or personal data management system. I realized late in life that I needed a hierarchical organization of different kinds of data. Documents is one kind. I manage a file cabinet of folders (health, financial, family, vehicles, etc.) On an annual basis, some gets archived to bankers boxes, some gets shredded, and some stays in the file cabinet. I have a special metal lock box that has absolutely critical things and documents that, should the house catch fire, I’d take that out first. But this is just physical records and the scope of it is getting smaller every year. Other data includes contacts, events, communications, negotiations, login credentials and their associated code words, URLs, etc. and other interesting information. Most of it is electronic. Most of it has been collecting for over 40 years. I have a search method that starts with Gmail or Google Contacts or Google Calendar or Evernote or LastPass. (For work these are replaced with MS Office365 equivalents) One or more of these usually comes up with either the root data or key attributes that I can use to search on again. Often I get a communication that has a date and a name associated, this leads me to a calendar event or a note in Evernote. I often make a note in Evernote that gives some context and maybe points me to a doc in a specific document or paper file folder (or bankers box).
It’s important that I use similar folder, tag, keyword, or category names in electronic file systems, email folders, and even paper folders. Eg. “Family/Jason/Health/Dental” or “Finances/Taxes/Taxyear2020/IRS”, etc.
Lastly, the older I get, the more I commit to electronic records. Rather than remembering the names of an acquaintances children and the date their spouse passed away, I record this info in my contact for that person.
I only wish I had faithfully started this system when I was 20 rather than gradually since I was 40 years old.
