> Or on the flip side, we can keep describing it as what it is, i.e an illness which largely inconveniences the vaccinated and jeopardizes the lives of those who are not.

This description suggests that vaccination status is the most significant risk factor for dying of covid. That is factually wrong. Moreover, it's politics, it's an attempt to convince people to get vaccinated.

Age and health are more significant factors than vaccination status. Therefore it would be more accurate to describe covid as "an illness which largely inconveniences the young and healthy and jeopardizes the lives of those who are not".

By that metric we shouldn't worry about measles, either. Survival rate is 99.9 %, the change of getting encephalitis is only 1 in 10000. But somehow we do.

And why is everyone over 50 running out to get the shingles vaccine? It's not like shingles kill you.
Well, when 4chan started it was basically just a porn board. The idea of actually hanging around was akin to being someone who’s really dedicated to their pornhub comments.

It took a few years of those few dedicated weirdos bouncing off each other (and their Japanese equivalent boards) to fully metastasise into the face of modern neofascism.
They weren't AWS consultants specifically, just a couple of general software consultants fronting a contract development team. And if they had set a concurrency max, the system would have failed in a different way. Using Lambda at all was the problem here.
You haven't considered the most important part of this: is stigma good at changing behaviours?

If you stigmatise something and shame people for it, you tend to push people underground. At that point rational discourse can't exist because there are social pressures to not reveal the unpopular opinion, and thus discussion doesn't occur.

It's foolish to think that people have stopped dying from stupidity, it happens every day in every country on earth. And it's foolish to think you can cure "the sin" of stupidity by using shame. This doesn't mean we ignore people's bad decisions, but that we must be realistic about the utility of our response.

Democracy comes with rights but also responsibilities.

The main responsibility is to follow the law. The other responsibility is to vote to select the correct laws to follow as a society.

Nobody knows what the correct set of laws for a society is. That is why we have regular elections to iterate upon them.

In very few cases you can see a clear cut and say definitely that a law is fair or unfair. Most of the laws lie on a spectrum, and I would argue that it is impossible to find a set of laws that are fair to all of the people, forever.

That is why dictatorships even if they start with start with good intentions (some did) they end up being oppressive regimes.
I read something before how they change the flow of rivers. Basically predation by wolves changes the feeding behaviour of deer and other animals, which changes the type of vegetations that grows along river banks and creeks, and that can change the shape of a river.
The WHO agrees on "transmission or viral shedding".

The WHO disagrees if anyone's tries to claim the vaccine doesn't help.

The Pfizer BioNTech vaccine against COVID-19 has an efficacy of 95% against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection.

And each and every ICU bed taken up by an unvaccinated SARS-CoV-2 case taking a severe turn is an ICU bed that, with above 95% probability (yes, naïvely), could've been available for someone else. Like a cancer or heart patient.
At Namely our payroll and benefits systems run on .NET in Linux containers on k8s talking to Postgres, SQL Server, Redis, and Kafka, and we integrate between these services and others via gRPC. Some of these services’ endpoints are exposed via GraphQL using a Node service running the Apollo server and some are called directly via gRPC by Go, Ruby, and Python services. All of this is on Linux in k8s. The .NET services integrate with the same ELK stack and things like Jaeger. It has adoption, it is competitive, and it integrates really nicely.

Pretty much all experts now admit the virus will be endemic (even if everyone were vaccinated), so you will encounter it eventually. This means that refusing the vaccine is really just hurting yourself.
I had a side effect that lasted 5 months - persistent pain in the arm and is confirmed by doctors as caused by the vaccine.

This is much better than the ilness but is not something I would like to repeat.

The Unicorn Project Review: Finding Flow with the Five Ideals (2019)
The dictionary definition is "someone who takes advantage of others' generosity without something in return" and is also a derogatory term. In this case, the "freeloader" is not taking advantage of someone's "generosity" and neither are they doing something that deserves to be derogated. In fact, they are doing nothing because they get the heat regardless of whether they want it or not. Since they never asked for the heat, they could be suffering from it isn't having the "advantage.
I highly recommend the book Principles of Product Development Flow. It's a bit dense and very dry, so take your time with it.

> From where I'm sitting in Montana, with no mandates, low vaccine uptake, and nobody giving a crap about the "OMG CASES THE CASES", the firmament remains.

You should check out places like Alaska, where the hospitals are (or were a couple weeks ago, anyway) overwhelmed. Even aside from the people directly affected by COVID, it affects anyone else who may have needed to use those hospitals for things like unrelated accidents, other diseases, complications from births, etc.

"It's not a problem right here, right now, so therefore it's not a problem at all anywhere." is not exactly a great argument.
Catalytic converter theft is obnoxious, and I'm fine with it being a felony (in particular as the cost of repairs is substantial higher than the "raw cost" of the stolen converter itself).

That being said: It isn't a capital crime and shouldn't be. If people can legally justify deadly force without self-defense (e.g. finding someone under their vehicle and shooting them) then the law itself is a problem.

If the state wants to make things a capital crime they should just do so directly, because at least then you get your day in court, a jury who could nullify, and lawmakers have to suffer the political ramifications of killing a bunch of petty thieves.
GOPnomics have made it too expensive to have kids. Healthcare alone which is a necessity for “breeding” makes even having a wife too expensive. Not to mention the state of the climate which they won’t do anything about let alone admit.

So to hell with breeding.
That, e.g., doing the same thing over wastes time is obvious. I don't need a taxonomy to tell me that. In my experience the cause of those things "happening" is that most people don't put much thought in what they are doing and why they are doing it. Programmers feel an "itch" to start coding when its not even clear what should be done. A gamble on one's intuition rather than a structured working procedure.

Same-sex marriage wasn’t legal until just a few short years ago. Same-sex parenting (adoption, surrogacy, fostering) is still a legal minefield to the extent that it is now allowed.

So: interesting point - “time to devote to grad school” could have something to do with it. But I think it’s important to remember in that analysis that choosing to get an advanced degree rather than the alternatives you mentioned wasn’t necessarily a real choice at all, until very recently.

At least to me, it always seems like the differences in gaming performance between mid-to-high end CPUs are relatively small, and frequently dominated by the differences between GPUs. Given a fixed budget, does it actually make sense from a gaming point-of-view to put the money into a high-end CPU any more?

(Aside from gaming, there's definitely plenty of wins from going to higher end CPUs, but I'm curious about the gaming case specifically.)
It screams cherry-picked data. Look at how oddly specific each citation is:

> In Massachusetts, USA, a total of 469 new COVID-19 cases were detected during various events in July, 2021

> In the USA, a total of 10 262 COVID-19 cases were reported in vaccinated people by April 30, 2021

> In Germany, 55·4% of symptomatic COVID-19 cases in patients aged 60 years or older were in fully vaccinated individuals

> In Münster, Germany, new cases of COVID-19 occurred in at least 85 (22%) of 380 people who were fully vaccinated or who had recovered from COVID-19 and who attended a nightclub

If the author has a strong argument, why not present more than disjointed months of data in specific cities, states and populations?
If it’s not wolves, it’ll be something else, at least for a lot of areas in the western U. S. Just the other day I saw a bobcat while I was out running. The dog and I would see coyotes on our morning run, so a bobcat isn’t surprising. There allegedly are cougars around here, but I’ve never seen one. You won’t either, until it’s too late. :-) And then there’s the bears. They’re not grizzlies, though, so not a huge deal. They do occasionally wander through the elementary school yard behind our house, though (as does the bobcat).

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention the Alaskan frontier town that I call home: Redmond, WA. It’s not Australia, but there are a few things around here that will give thought to killing you and eating you, even in town.
It isn't common. The last time the US did it was in 1985, almost 40 years ago.
I like the Lean Software books by Mary and Tom Poppendieck. There are a few of them, they cover similar ground to each other but from different perspectives (talking about what it is, versus how to apply it as a manager, etc.). "Waste" is a critical concept to Lean in general and they've done a good job of applying it to software. All their books (I think) are available through O'Reilly.
In Nordic countries the opposition comes from rural areas where more wolves means more yard visits by wolves. People are used to keeping dogs outside and allowing kids to go to school unsupervised (say, by bike or just waiting alone outside for a school taxi).

I think that's the price of living close to the nature, but it may be a hard pill to swallow after several generations growing up in rural areas barren of wolves.
> On the other hand, when did we get to a point where an artist should have no control about how their work should be presented?

I got the virus in late January 2020, before any lockdowns or vaccines. Haven't been ill since then. Now I'm hanging out in the periphery and listening to vaccinated people calling me a burden while the entire western world falls apart due to their genius plans. They decided I'm inconveniencing them and want to force me to get shots, but won't say it to my face, yet. I'll wait and see on these vaccines, but I'm not worried about mine or anyone else's health - mostly I'm just afraid of these people.

These are the people who ordered from Uber Eats throughout the pandemic and didn't give a shit about the poor guys and girls delivering their food at personal risk. The Zoom class thinks they know better than everyone else, and god help you if you don't fall in line.

These people throw everyone under the bus when they become inconvenienced by them. I wonder, is Snowden considered a conspiracy theorist now?

This is a political and class issue, not a health one.
Perfect example of using a(n expensive) service even when it's annoying. Just stop using it, they'll hear your voice better.
Since CD players included a shuffle button. Before that, since it was possible to record songs from the radio into a blank cassette.

They do check the sticker, and they will get you by. (keep all your smog checks to see if you got a working unit. Check HC's, CO, and Oxides of nitrogen against old tests.

I was about to divulge a secret to poor people who want to pass smog, and can't budget a missing catalytic converters.

It's a pretty good trick. The poor guys who work on their ride can probally figure it out.

I will refrain though.

(My biggest fear of smog, and Global warming, is the powers at be will make the poor pay for it. A two year smog is rediculious. Right now CA only exempts 1975, or earlier vechicles. Most states gave a 25 year rule. People who drive old cars are usually poor, and don't put a lot of miles on an older car. Some of those 25 year old cars are bought by collectors. Most are crushed.)
These types of movements never really go anywhere, in large part because their proponents remove themselves from the genepool.

It's the same reason that people having been saying for generations that religion is going to disappear, but it never actually does. Non-religious cultures tend to have below-replacement rate births while religious ones have higher birthrates.

The main thing that not having children does is ensure a future that is full of people with very different values from yourself. That could be a bad thing or a a good thing depending on how you see yourself.

Several universities I have colleagues at have regular testing requirements for all uni community members, on top of vaccine requirements. Maybe it could be a more widespread thing, but I think you make it seem more one sided than it is.
Difficult to categorize as such, because the vaccinated still spread the virus. And as long as R_t>1 pretty much everyone will get it.

So unvaccinated cause harm to others indirectly by burding the healthcare system. And one also does that by socially acceptable stuff like motorcycling (or maybe that's a plus if one is organ donor?).

It's the economic insecurity that does it for me. Everytime I see "we're a team not a family" or the like, I realize how dispensible I am. It's not the content of the message, it's the fact you have to say it. It's a gentle nudge that, hey, remember you don't mean shit to us, ok?

I’m quite excited about what Northvolt, H2 Green Steel and SSAB are doing in northern Sweden.

Addendum: When it comes to “tech” (or IT as we used to call it) I’m hoping to see advances in authentication so that maybe one day one doesn’t need to keep track of 300 passwords.
But they said in the article that it would continue shuffling on playlists, but that button does not shuffle on playlists for me either.

I feel like this may be mostly signaling, because the logical conclusion from the argument that more people means more climate change would be to either have your existence reduce climate change (which most people don't do), or to remove yourself from the equation.

Or maybe the argument is about the relative impact, and not having kids allows you to take the plane and still feel good about your actions because your total carbon impact is less than other people? I'm honestly not sure how the reasoning works.
You are pretty much right on that point, both a 5600X from AMD or a 12600k from Intel won't bottleneck a 3080Ti or 3090 when gaming.
I recently bought a new Prius. Toyota even has bolt holes to allow easy installation of a "cat shield", and could install a nice steel plate there with minimal additional cost, but instead it was on me to buy and install an aftermarket product. Maybe it's a question of liability?
Yeah, honestly it was a pretty crappy UI idea back when the big green "Play" button would re-enable shuffle rather than just playing the album/playlist.

I feel like it's just obviously user-hostile?

I've also run into a situation with obtuse/unexpected/excessive pricing. We were spiking a Mongo -> Cosmos migration and with our Cosmos configuration we were getting charged separately for each (empty) collection our app created.

Each collection was billed separately for provisioned throughput even though they were unused, and since the app created 50~ collections the cost added up pretty quickly before I noticed. Note: There is a way to turn this off afair, but the description of the setting made me decide to select it for a prod-like database.

In reality it's partly my fault. I should have kept a close eye on the costs until I was sure my mental model was correct. I also knew CosmosDB was just offering a Mongo API and wasn't actually hosted Mongo, so I should have been more vigilant about the differences in implementation. And of course I should have RTFM — although, even when I noticed the problem, it took me a long time and a support ticket to find the explanation in the docs.
