The virus is quite new, and a statement like "this information is not collected" from just one health organization in the world (CDC), people like the one from your link, which is clearly biased, exaggerates the topic for his freedom-oversensitive audience.

Note that "this information is not collected" doesn't mean it is not happening.

Or perhaps it's being collected but by some university, somewhere in the world. I don't know.

Of course "CDC Admits Crushing Rights of Naturally Immune Without Proof They Transmit the Virus" is just incorrect and misleading. It's a title targeted at a specific audience. Some fall for this kind of content.

> What do you expect to happen, elimination of Covid? When exactly, would it cease to be 'selfish' to live life normally?

You ask the wrong questions. What you ask doesn't have an answer, and you know that.
There is no such thing as immutable "The Facts" or "The Science". You are not adhering to the process and spirit of science if you are never questioning the consensus. I will spare you from the Copernicus analogies.

This is especially true when "The Facts" are not a controlled lab experiment or a logical derivation, but real time data collected in a chaotic enviromnent of the pandemic by a wide variety of actors with different level of methodological rigor and - please do not deny this - often political and financial motivations. It is not the way of science to put such Facts on the pedestal and refuse to question them just because they fall out of line.

The study you asked for (it's a preprint): https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.20.21260795v...
yes, on a mostly flat course i'd be able to keep it up too. maybe i misinterpreted it a bit, but i pictured original commenter cruising at 30+km/h _in london_ (city proper) on a city- or trekking bike.

during the summer my ftp was around 270 (~3.8w/kg) and i had a hard time staying close to 30km/h avg on a local bike path where one does have to stop and slow down occasionally for safety reasons (i.e. real world conditions - even though my computer pauses when i come to a full stop). in the city i can go 30-40km/h on my single speed if i ride on the road in car traffic, but on bike paths that's usually way too dangerous because of the speed difference to other cyclists and pedestrians.

sure, on tempus fugit i can go close to 40km/h for 100km with a TT bike.
Map reduce and filter often are much more readable, but then sometimes a loop is clearer. I often see this when I use resharper's (a c# tool) auto refactor a loop into a linq statement , it can become unreadable.
> The CronRAT adds a number of tasks to crontab with a curious date specification: 52 23 31 2 3. These lines are syntactically valid, but would generate a run time error when executed. However, this will never happen as they are scheduled to run on February 31st

If cron doesn't execute it because February 31st isn't a date that cron will ever reach, then how is the script executed?

This appears to be referencing the /dev/tcp usage [0]. This is not an exotic feature of the Linux kernel but part of bash for some time now (not sure when it was added). I'm not sure what's supposed to be exotic about it.

I was for, a period, a contributor to Alacritty and I'm still a daily user. The fact remains that it's a wonderful tool. Far better than most, yet still flawed in a number of ways. Both on the user side and within the codebase itself.

That said, I couldn't keep up with the arguments and decisions, while also balancing my own (disintegrating) life. I feel that we are all suffering from the effects of others far too heavily these days, so much so that good projects like this are labeled a "tragedy". That is completely unfair blame. The tragedy is not of Alacritty, it's of us. It's our fault we haven't fixed the issues. It's our fault all the comments and messages are loaded with unnecessary emotion. Well... it's at least partially our fault. Sometimes it's true that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Sometimes it's also true that dark powers work against us. Still we must look at our own part in the equation.

Personally, reflecting on this post from the start of 2020, it's hard to think of anything but my own failings in the last years. But that too is not fair. It's something I must simply work to improve; like always. Leaving the world a better place than where I found it. I know there are amazing developers still working hard on important issues. It kills me that I'm not helping as I could be. It kills me that I'm often stuck, fixing bullshit issues and wasting time on things that are out of my control. But that's how it is now, and that's how it's been too, just perhaps to a lesser degree for a time, when everything clicked.

Perfection and correctness and idealism are lofty goals. But realism and practice are required while on the hunt. Maybe one day a new puzzle piece will be found, snuggling seamlessly into place. But until then, (we try and we fail)*.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. I beg you.
Well, up to some point. If the Prussian system was so wildly successful in the West it was because it fit so well the new concept of Nation-States and the new technic of the printing press.

I see this article as symptomatic of the situation having radically changed between wars now being unthinkable between nuclear-armed powers (and their close allies), and more recently the rise of the the World Wide Web.

I would, however, not be so dismissive of Nation-States and the need of citizen endoctrination as the author is : you can easily end up with something way worse, like an Empire or tribal chaos ! (But then the author seems to be focused on the USA, which has always been a weird blend of Nation and Empire...)

I've recently left a Rust project and the maintainer's perfectionism was one part.

From my observation, the causes tend to be:

- Maintainers spread thin, putting more of a burden on contributors

- Some projects being critical and needing more attention and some taking themselves too seriously (dealt with a project whose CI took a couple hours for ~60 jobs because they exhaustively tested every combination.

- Maintainers who haven't learned to distinguish the important from unimportant.

- Contributors who don't realize their PR is a white eleplant (burdensome gift)

- Contributors who jump in with a PR without first seeing if it aligns with the project.

Most of this happens everywhere. Probably the more unique aspects to Rust are being spread thin, precedence of high quality crates, and that Rust gives a level of control that is addictive and effects other parts of projects.
I mean, it seems clear we don't have any real consistent definition for qualia. I'd argue that every distinct color you can see is a different qualia, although an argument could be made for a single "color" qualia which takes on different forms.
Yeah I think the key is "when cooked properly", which is emphatically _not_ according to the directions given with the bird.
I believe the theory is that since this variant has so many mutations, it evolved over quite some time within a single host with a lowered immune response. Makes sense that this would happen in an area with high HIV prevalence.
> The fact is that most programmers do not have the patience, skill or experience to write half-decent code that isn't bug-ridden garbage.

It's not about PRs. Read it carefully. It's a comment about 'most programmers' who apparently don't have characteristics that mean they can do anything but produce 'bug ridden garbage'.
you can efficiently do someting with kafka that is equivalent to maintaining relational tables and joining them? seriously?
Rich Hickey is spot on...as always.
>>The vast majority of parents will be in for a very rude awakening. If your child causes any trouble, they will be punted from the school very quickly and good luck getting into the next one.

Maybe parents need to start actually parenting again and stop with the new age non-sense we have seen in atleast the last generation. Your child should not be allowed to scream, yell, and throw a tantrum in public while the parents just laugh and say "ohh kids will be kids" bull shit. If I did that as a Child.. well lets just say I would not have been a fun time. (edit: do be clear I do not mean corporal punishment, my parents had a no hitting rule however I also knew I would be punished in various ways should I not follow the rules, or be respectful in public)

The idea that it should be acceptable for child to "cause trouble" in school is the problem, not that the school would remove them.

Used to the biggest threat you could make to a child is "I am going to call your parents" today if a school does that chances are Karen is going to show up and tell the school how great their snowflake is, and how it is school or business that is the problem not that child. Children are not held to any acceptable standards of behavior or responsibility for their actions

Dark matter/energy aren’t excuses, they’re labels for things that behave like matter and energy but whose nature is unknown.
You can request a test to confirm your level of Vitamin D. If you get the test make sure it is the right one! 25 (OH) stays in the blood longer, so this is the more accurate test. (half life of 3 weeks in your blood).
Many experts recommend a level of at least 30 ng/ml ... some actually suggest that 50 ng/ml is recommended.
The scale on the test results is: Interpretive Data: Deficiency: <10 ng/mL Insufficiency: 10 to 30 ng/mL Sufficiency: 30 to 100 ng/mL Toxicity: >100 ng/mL

"The majority of 25-OH vitamin D (25-D) in the circulation is derived from the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin that is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation in the UVB range (wavelength 290 nm to 315 nm).1-5 The extent of vitamin D formation is not tightly controlled and depends primarily on the duration and intensity of the UV irradiation. Levels produced typically reach a plateau within 30 minutes of exposure." [1]

"Vitamin D insufficiency is more prevalent among African Americans (blacks) than other Americans and, in North America, most young, healthy blacks do not achieve optimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations at any time of year." [2]

It's outrageous to set fines and bans on default passwords, especially those old enough and struggling to learn more about technologies not to bother about this information.
As always Bill Gates called it:

This will only be solved or contained once we vax the developing world, so that we curb and slow down the emergence of variants.

Problem is that nobody in the developed world wants to be found with their briefs down and no vaccine availibility so the West is stockpiling jabs for people who essentially don't want it.

The west has been stuck around 67-70% for months now, with no tangible progress.

Those jabs, are the "use it or lose it" kind, if a vaccine resistant variant emerges in the 3rd world, all those stockpiles won't do any good, at that point for nobody.
A lot. It's the language of pure reason and a tool for abstract thought. It's a pillar of any STEM field like math, computers, physics, engineering, etc. Our society was built on top of it. I think you're misjudging it's value because you're mistaking it for a way to achieve non-falsifiable claims, which it's not as any logical claim only hold as much as it's premises, while ignoring it's value as a framework for though.
The problem is when contributors view their contributions as a gift rather than a starting point for collaboration.

Rejecting a gift is quite a rude gesture. Rejection a PR contribution until it receives further iteration after some thoughtful feedback is anything but a rude gesture.

I think this mindset that open source maintainers are obligated to accept PRs as gifts is the source of much of this frustration. The PR should be a starting point for further discussion, iteration, and collaboration, not a one-way gift that places a burden on the maintainer to satisfy the wants of the contributor.
It's the increased frequency of these players dropping dead. Also, why was all cause mortality higher in the vaccinated cohort in the Pfizer trial? And given this, why was the control group eliminated a third of the way through this study?
Can't be very good, or the government doesn't use it.
Using neutrinos is far less efficient than using gamma radiation or neutrons or high energy electrons or ions for transmutations.

The photons/neutrons/electrons/ions have a high probability of interaction with the target, while the neutrinos have a very low probability of interaction.

All the elements that do not exist in nature due to low lifetime have been produced by transmutation, but this can be done only for very small quantities at huge prices.
I used an oven bag for the first time ever yesterday. It did wonders for making the turkey moist. I also stuffed it with orange slices in addition to the usual aromatics, so that may have helped some too. The skin however was not crispy. Next year I might finish it off by searing the skin somehow.

I want legislation that the manufacturer has to publish, online and in a conspicuous place, full board-level schematics, parts lists, and service notes for household appliances no later than the day after the first unit of a model goes out of warranty. Or that such documents are placed prominently in the packaging the product arrives in and that installers are required by law to provide it to the customer. You can sell something that breaks in 3 years but you have to give me the documents I need to repair it including the logic board. My biggest fear in getting a new washer/dryer is that it starts my wife and I on the same junk treadmill everyone else is on.
The previous sentence was:

> The barrier to entry isn't mailing lists, or Torvalds, or perfectionism or gatekeeping.

i.e. the context is reviewing (however that's done) contributed code.

A year before covid I was in diagnosed with low vit D and a host of other ailments. Spent a year stuck in bed; then started Vit D among other things. Following summer I spent kayaking.
It was one of several things, but my life completely changed.
"The best and brightest built a state of the art forecasting model and it says I should do X" sells much better than "I assume this year will be exactly like last year and last year we should have done X".

Basing your decisions on complicated scientific methods inspires confidence in many people, even when there is no benefit.

It also mitigates responsibility for decision makers, because they can claim that they would have made the perfect decision if only the model's predictions would have been perfect as well.

(YouTube) What Happened to the Antarctic Snow Cruiser?
How? Was it fake?

You must understand my amazement. To blow up, the Moka must not have had a functioning safety valve (check the side). Furthermore, the grid must have been so crusted up that, in the days (months!) leading up to the fateful event, it would have taken a very long time to brew what would have necessarily been an extremely bitter coffee.

The only was I see this happening is it:

- The Moka is fake and it blew up on its first use (since the grid must not have had the holes pressed into it)

- You weren't aware that the grid is removable and didn't clean it. I also like to push against the safety valve form the inside every now and then.

But if #2 why did you put up with a bitter coffee that would take ages to brew?
BioNTech says it expects more data on new variant in two weeks
I'm not trying to present a 'two sides' story in the sense that it's exactly 50/50, since I think the viewpoint I was countering is quite a bit more false than it is true, which is why I flatly asserted that developed countries provided a net benefit to underdeveloped countries. My opinion here doesn't stop me from admitting that there's facts that underlie the narrative that are true, even if I believe the subsequent conclusions to be false.

An underdeveloped country can be suffering from the consequences of colonialism, while still benefiting significantly on net from technology, trade, and so forth, with the ratio between the former and the latter expected to decline over time. This can all be true simultaneously.

> You create a false dichotomy between a star trek prime directive no contact world and then say in a net sense it was of benefit.

That's not an example of a false dichotomy. It's a hypothetical, or a thought experiment.

> Using the likes of Singapore or South Korea as a counter example is also typical.

Typical != incorrect.

> Take a look here at life expectancy and when exactly it started to rise above 40.

Having the boot of colonialism being lifted is one of many reasons for this graph.

> Take a look at the correlation between post colonialism and death from violence.

Which is confounded by poverty/education/etc, the main drivers of death from violence.

The key is to do a dry brine with just salt at least over night. Rinse and dry afterwards. Keep foil over the breasts except for a short period of time to brown the skin. People also tend to cook it until it is dead. Use a thermometer but remember that the temperature will carry. Then let the turkey sit for at least an hour under foil and a towel. Perfect every time.
> Should it be necessary, Pfizer and BioNTech would be able to redesign their shot within 6 weeks and ship initial batches within 100 days, BioNTech added.
> Let the market, and capitalism work its magic

Markets are not magic. Poor parents will still be stuck with shitty schools teaching their children because reputable ones won't want to serve their area, leaving an effective monopoly to prey on them.

Hell, chances are even if it started with a thriving competitive market it would, before long, conglomerate into an effective monopoly anyway. That's the biggest problem with "free" markets, the big players can ensure they are rarely fair markets by throwing their weight around.
Is this the origin story of the epsilon variant that makes 2022 a miserable time? I really hope not.

I am so glad to see others adopting this path. Even with dropping this constraint we are having a little bit of trouble finding good people. I can't imagine how hard it is to hire someone now if you are demanding 4 year degrees and other forms of experience/credential.

I feel the world is changing so fast now, especially in technology, that it has become counterproductive to screen for historical credentials and experience. "Can you deal with rapid change and communicate effectively" are the new major criteria for us.

Probably produces great meat, but does directly contradict USDA guidelines. https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and...

At least in chicken, multi-drug resistant salmonella is still a problem that kills people in the US. The government’s approach to food safety assumes you will follow the guidelines and cook to 165 while religiously following anti-cross-contamination measures, rather than actually pursuing food safety. Maybe turkey is the exception, but I have my doubts.
