The numbers just don't add up for me. There are almost 8bn people in the world. Sceptical countries get 50% of their population vaccinated. Compliant countries say 80%. Even if it's 80%, that still means after everyone you can has been vaccinated you still have 1.6bn-4bn people unvaccinated.

You also can't vaccinate everyone at once. Vaccinating the world inevitably takes years, not months.

That leaves a lot of room for mutations. I don't see logistically how you get over that, you just can't. It sounds good but I don't see the practical solutions.

(And then we haven't even talked about cross infection with animals, deers are now 80% infected or something with covid? What happens when they cross over back with some new variant?)
I really like this comparison but it misses the main reason that this is such a huge issue: there are basically no downsides to wearing a helmet, but for some people vaccinations will cause health problems. I know that P(issues from Covid) > P(issues from Covid Vaccines) for almost all cases, but the downside is hard for people to ignore.
There is exactly zero evidence to support your thesis, please show me where this has happen in the places where backpack funding has accorded.

Poor parents are the ones that are helped the MOST by backpack funding, rich people already send their children to better schools, no one wants to send their child to government schools, NO ONE. they all suck

They are forced to by economic circumstance and government regulation, backpack funding removes both of those obstruction

Further this idea that it would devolve into an "effective monopoly" is not backed by any data of any market, and should such a result occur it will likely be a direct result of restrictions placed on the funding by government (i.e no religious schools, no online schools, no co'ops, no education pods, no homeschooling programs, etc)

In my mind backpack funding should be a widely open to just about any educational resources not just brick and mortar schools in the local geographic region that teach the exact same curriculum as the local public schools. That would be pointless
This has a full court Press rush with more wind than the "Facebook whistle blower". That alone ought to be enough to engineer some doubt at this point.

That reminds me of the "garbage can turkey" we cooked at a Scouts camp one year. "Watch the temperature of the coals," we said to our turkey minder, "keep it low and slow."... But while we were hiking, the minder kept worrying it wouldn't cook in time, and so he piled on the charcoal. A few hours later, our 50+ pound bird had been transformed into a tiny black football.

Fortunately there was a pizzeria a mile away, or it might have been Squirrel Soup on the menu that night. :)
Hey,

Yes, we export HTML/CSS and source files (Scss or Tailwind JS config).

Here you have example projects exported: https://shuffle.dev/static/files/example.zip

We will release the WordPress theme export in December. It won't be an integration / WordPress plugin. You'll still use Shuffle online, and when exporting the project, it has the format supported by WordPress (support for navigations, posts, etc.)

Accessibility - There is vast room for improvement.

I recommend you to check the ZIP archive above (you can download it from our website when exporting a project, too) and verify it will work for you.
> I was in diagnosed with low vit D and a host of other ailments.

> then started Vit D among other things

> It was one of several things, but my life completely changed.

Very glad to hear you improved, but your comment is a perfect example of the powerful aura developing around Vitamin D. By your own admission, you were diagnosed with a host of ailments and implemented several other changes, but the only one we're hearing about is Vitamin D.

There are stories like this all over the internet, where people receive a low Vitamin D diagnosis as part of a broader workup for serious ailments and they start Vitamin D supplementation as a part of a multi-pronged treatment approach, but when the anecdotes are distilled online Vitamin D is the only part of the equation that gets noted.

You genuinely had a vitamin D deficiency as diagnosed by blood test, but many other people with as-yet-undiagnosed illnesses might read your comment and assume that excessive Vitamin D supplementation is something they should try. After all, who wouldn't want such a life-changing turnaround?

But like I said, it's important to close the loop with blood tests. Vitamin D deficiency can't be diagnosed by symptoms alone, and high Vitamin D deficiency can be a risk for Hypervitaminosis D, which brings its own set of symptoms.

Mild Vitamin D supplementation is low risk, but Vitamin D isn't going to be life-changing for anyone but those with severe deficiencies.
I bought the pinebook pro and ya it just doesnt quite have the power I want it to, but on flipside the lack of power gives the giant battery tons of runtime.

But for the pinephone. I really want >= 32mp camera. Whereas 5MP is ridiculous and 2MP selfie? You're right it's slow, it's not quite figured out entirely.

Pinephone pro coming soon and also doesn't quite hit the wants for me. It does look fast though in specs.
The best thing I did for not having dry turkeys or other meat, is a meat thermometer. I, like your aunt, just didn't pay attention to anything before.

I was also in your boat, for people with a deficiency supplementation is life changing.

> in the long term, sun exposure is a skin cancer risk.
That is not so clear. Moderate, non-burning sun exposure might have benefits that exceed the risks, according to [1]. I'll leave here the relevant quote:

The message of sun avoidance must be changed to acceptance of non-burning sun exposure sufficient to achieve serum 25(OH)D concentration of 30 ng/mL or higher in the sunny season and the general benefits of UV exposure beyond those of vitamin D.

It also, in early estimates, has a higher infectivity rate than the Delta variant, which is disquieting because Delta was already about as contagious as chicken pox.

Numbers this early can be very misleading, but anecdotes have cropped up about infections occurring from one hotel room to another, possibly through the HVAC system, which is not a durability trick that previous variants were believed to have.
> but Vitamin D isn't going to be life-changing for anyone but those with severe deficiencies.

Given modern diets, I'd suspect many people have deficiencies in one or more key micronutrients. Given how low risk supplementation is, I think overdoing it and losing out on a bit of money is safer than under doing it. Of course be moderate in the amount you supplement by but the argument that it's just a waste of money never resonated with me. I'd happily sacrifice money on the off chance that I'm actually saving my health.

Same - and this year when I took it out I thought it looked dry and overcooked...but it was juicy when sliced! It is really easy as long as you take the proper precautions.
If you have to do all that to not get turkey meat that's dry, then one has to assume that turkey meat, cooked like you would cook any other meat, like chicken, is dry, as has been my experience.

To sum, turkey meat is dry. Don't want dry turkey meat, follow these steps...

Vaccinating the developed world is a start - but it isn't a panacea.

If the global Covid #s are accurate - the majority of the Covid infections happening are in the developed world.

It'd be great if we could stop the spread in the developing world - but we need to stop it in the developed world, too - or else mutations are still bound to happen.
> Given that a lot of the COVID morbidity and mortality is the cytokine storm rather than the infection itself, I wouldn't consider it a priori clear that Vitamin D helps, is neutral, or harms patients who get COVID.

I’d pay a subscription for searches that effectively removed cruft and heavily SEO’d listings. The classic example is looking for a recipe and getting an essay of SEO bullshit about how these cabbage leaves were grown by the Mad Monks of Machynlleth and remind the author of the their childhood frolicking around the depths of Mordor or whatever, but also things like stackoverflow or GitHub cut-and-pastes, blog spam, empty posts with nothing but trigger words to get the ranking higher, literally any link to things like Pinterest, and other annoyances which push actually useful results down the page.

Essentially I want a search engine that can differentiate results that exist to solve a problem I have and results which offer nothing and just want to divert my eyes from a problem to show me ads. That’s the difference, I don’t mind seeing ads next to things that are actually useful but many of Google’s results exist for no other reason but to show me ads and offer nothing useful. I’d happily pay £20 a month for a search engine that removes these pervasive annoyances reliably.

Why Spotify's TikTok-Style 'Discover' Feed Is the Right Move
I absolutely hate low effort articles like this. Just restating the contents of a TikToc or in this case plagerizing a Youtube video (Technology Connections, aka Alec Watson) to generate content is lazy, even if you 'credit' the source you are stealing all your content from in some cursory way. Alec noticed something truley interesting and did many days of research and first hand investigation to build this content from scratch, this article just steals it outright and links to his YouTube video as though that makes it cool?

Why not simply have the discussion in the review itself? Must we merge everything, just so people feel empowered? It's chaos to have to constantly revert and/or refactor everything. People should be empowered not by the merge, but by the progress.

They key, from what I've seen, is to facilitate useful conversation. Keep comments relevant and people will learn. Avoid politicking, while still providing evidence for your case. Typically, show your own work. The best review points clearly towards a better result.

Finally, acknowledge your own limitations as a reviewer. We're all human, to pretend otherwise does yourself and others a massive disservice.

(But what do I know. I've been out of the game for a while now.)
Some of the worst effects aren't immediately obvious, such as metastatic calcification of tissues over time.

Long-term effects aren't fully elucidated because high Vitamin D doses weren't common until recently. However, there is growing evidence that excess Vitamin D can contribute to worsening cardiovascular disease and premature aging of cells.

You won't necessarily feel the effects of too-high Vitamin D levels right away, but years or decades of excess Vitamin D could do a lot of hidden damage without any benefit over moderate levels.
"This will only be solved or contained once we vax the developing world"

Careful here. There is no guarantee that once 95% of the world is vaccinated that this will be solved. Respiratory viral infections are notorious for mutating and spreading regardless of vaccines or treatment.

IMO its important not to simplify the situation and say if group A just did this than everything would be okay. Its quite possible this virus is simply here to stay and a multi array of treatments will hopefully continue to improve outcomes.

What people miss in the conversation about banned books
lol global covid #s are not close to accurate, obviously.
I said “visible effects” which is different than detecting a virus in human body. That mean pre-symptomatic transmission.

I am not up to date with latest research but it seemed to be that SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that can be transmitted before symptoms onset.

Regarding replication without being detected but also increased lethality this you might be right that doing the math maybe the hypothesis I present seems far fetched.

Still I guess that a slight bump in mortality will create a lot of deaths due to its transmission.

Of course like I said I am just expressing an opinion that might be very wrong.
Those numbers are clearly nonsense; notice how the smaller ones don't even scale with key size, while they obviously should to some extent. That paper is flawed. They obviously made a mistake.

Look at the ed25519 benchmarks:

https://ed25519.cr.yp.to/

71000 signature verifications per second and 109000 signature generations per second on a quad-core machine. That is much, much faster than RSA.

It's well established that ECC is much faster than RSA in general. I suspect I know what happened. DSA signature schemes require randomness to generate signatures, unlike RSA. They probably were using an entropy-constrained random number generator. That bottlenecked ECDSA through no fault of the algorithm. Ed25519 does not suffer from this issue, since it is constructed in a way that requires no external source of randomness (the random part is substituted with a deterministic hash of the key and input).

Conservatives have been pushing this narrative for as long as I can remember. Complain about a government service, all the while making that service worse, until the public agrees and service is terminated. It’s GOP Politics 101. In this case, the aim is government funded parochial schools. But only the right kind of parochial schools.
My understanding is Vitamin D stays in your system a while. It’s one of the reasons why I believe Vitamin D deficiencies tend to be treated with 1-3 very large doses of Vitamin D, separated by weeks, with what I assume are blood tests in between.
I think you should revisit the history of US (and Western more generally, but the US is the ringleader) NGO and development activity in Africa. I think a case can be made that it has done more harm than good, and I say this knowing full well all the hospitals and schools founded and staffed by various Christian organizations in the 19th and 20th Centuries as well as the activities of the high powered organizations such as the Ford foundation trying to spread liberal values and western-authored constitutions and legal systems throughout Africa, starting in the post-war period until the present.

IMO we should pull the NGOs out and let African nations find their own path forward. The reason why I think this is to look a little more closely at what aid means and how it works.

There are two types of aid:

1. Direct resources. This is the old model of sending in missionaries to start a hospital or university. This can be helpful in some sense but also the aid workers bring their own values with them and evangelize those values, which is something that may not be suitable for Africa. They end up being local power centers on the ground and start managing and administering African governments instead of letting Africans do that. That was one approach used by the Ford foundation to control african governments and guide them into adopting inappopriate governmental structures.

2. Financial aid. Sending dollars to Africa results in those dollars in Swiss bank accounts of local warlords together with an increase in imports which can displace local production.

Trade with Africa is great, but the moment you start giving them aid, that aid comes with strings and we start pressuring Africa to adopt western european standards and structures, which end up creating fragile governments, they stoke ethnic conflict, and they may well impede letting Africa take its own development path and forming its governments according to its own values.
Very different selection effects. Plus less selection in close proximity to vaccinate individuals.
> I think overdoing it and losing out on a bit of money

Excessive Vitamin D levels are associated with accelerated cardiovascular disease and premature aging of cells.

It's certainly not as simple as losing out on a bit of money. Vitamin D is dirt cheap, but you only get one cardiovascular system.
I was in France in August. We had our American vax paper pass. Most of the time it was accepted without anything. Only once did we have to talk with a government official about what it was.

We were some of the first American travelers that they had seen since lockdown. I imagine now it’s a more widely known proof of vaccination.

That is simply not true. The RKI (Germany's main institute for disease control and prevention) almost exactly predicted the current Covid numbers back in July [1]. The top left of the picture on page 7 shows the prediction under the assumption that 65% of Germans get vaccinated; currently 68% of Germans are vaccinated.
