Mutations on organisms such as viruses depend on the raw amount of virus duplication which happens, not per se "time", if you have a large amount of hosts, and therefore high amounts of duplication that increases the duplication rate making it more likely that mutations will occur, therefore speeding up the mutation rate, and as it happens with large countries still not taking strong measures against covid there's ample amount of hosts which can incubate new mutations....

Also, ought be noted that mutation is entirely random, this is *not* "a consequence to vaccines existing", most mutations will be neutral, others negative to the virus itself, but few might have positive effects on its vitality, or incubation period or others

This is not actually a "goal" of the virus, since dead people cannot move and therefore spread much less of the virus. They seek to become more infectious so they can spread more, and in this process sometimes they also accidentally kill the host.

There is zero evidence at all for any antibody-dependent enhancement with the COVID vaccines so far.

The mRNA vaccines also induce the cell-mediated immunity, unlike e.g. subunit vaccines that only consists of a protein. The cell-based response is fundamentally different and not based on the 3D structure of the virus protein like the antibody response. So mutation that would evade the antibody response would not automatically evade the cell-based response as well.

The spike protein is also the most important protein of the virus. And antibodies are mostly useful against surface components of the virus, not so much against stuff that's on the inside. The spike protein performs a critical function, to evade the antibody response it has to do both, change enough to be unrecognizable while still being able to infect cells with a similar efficiency. That's not an easy thing to do.

The key is light. Light controls your circadian rythm (biological clock), so make sure you get enough sunlight in the morning, and make sure to avoid light exposure after 10pm.

I would push back on this. Irredeemably suspect? The Nobel committee doesn't make theory awards until they are supported by experiment. There was basically no new particle physics data for 30 years. Then they found the Higgs and that's nothing else. Theory beyond this is speculative, nobody knows if it's important or not.

Is this perhaps an opportunity for some companies to explicitly do blind hiring, or something along those lines? I'm thinking of Coinbase (and others) who have taken a somewhat contrarian approach and said that the workplace is just for work, and not politics. They've taken flak for it, but are also probably(?) attracting people for whom that kind of workplace is a positive. A company that goes out of their way to say "We don't discriminate in our hiring, positively or negatively" and follows through on it could probably pick up talented engineers who are otherwise being filtered out of the hiring process due to their skin color / gender.
That is not exactly true. You can't put electricity for all of the major sources of co2 consumption.
For example, the chemistry for building cement is emitting co2.
Also, steel requires so much heat than electricity is 10x more expensive than coal for this application.
Because they promote it as a $9 purchase, less than the price of 2 cups of coffee!!!

And most people are far too financially illiterate to understand what that means.

An APR of 23% for $50 sounds like I will have to pay $12.

A $4 flat fee is so much CHEAPER!

Nevermind that a credit card means I can pay back in 3 weeks minimum in the US, without paying any interest, and further, a $4 flat fee on $50 over 6 weeks is an APR that's over 60-70%, if not a lot more.

I think it's fair to call out people who are spreading disinformation. I see the same patterns among some posters here and on reddit.

The two commenters above recommended youtube channels that A. are very low quality, B. repeat state media talking points verbatim, and C. are made by people who don't even speak Chinese, so they don't actually understand what is actually happening around them in their daily lives.
Another feature: keywords aren’t reserved words. For an example of where that can lead to see https://multicians.org/proc-proc.html

The thinking behind that was that the set of keywords would grow over time, and that you couldn’t expect any programmer to know all of them.

There likely also are few programmers who do know all of them, as there are hundreds (see https://www.kednos.com/pli/docs/reference_manual/6291pro_042... for those of one implementation)
I mostly stopped using caffeine and alcohol. I find that while I used to stay up till 2am left to my own devices, I now naturally fall asleep very early and wake up very early with quite a bit of energy. That was just my experience though, who knows how much it applies to others.

Something I do occasionally reflect on is that I started drinking a few caffeinated beverages a day when I was maybe 11 or 12. And then through my teen years and beyond I identified as a night owl. You wonder how much of that was literally just using a stimulant.

It's funny how we generally don't think of caffeine as a drug.

The pfizer whistleblower was published in the British Medical Journal, not exactly a shabby publication. True or false, it was a news event and at least should be addressed. The fact that it's been largely swept under the rug is not a good sign for science, which is built on skepticism, not compliance. I am willing to dismiss the whistleblower as nothing but smoke, if someone answered it. So far, they have not. Which is telling.

VAERS data is self-reported data, so it is far from conclusive. However, it was put there for a reason and shouldn't be ignored. It was put there to flag problems that need to be investigated.

Pfizermectin is not a conspiracy. He's just noting both ivermectin and the pfizer therapeautic are both protease inhibitors. That's all he said.

None of these are "conspiracies". So far, they are inconvenient truth assertions that a certain people seem to want to put down. We deserve, we are entitled to a fuller discussion than they are given.
Regarding books: the older, the better. There's a reason they're still around. Read the classics.

Other advice: consistency is key to be good at anything. It's better to do 5 or 10 minutes a day every day than once a month for a full day.

Other comments in this thread mention therapy: i had a very mediocre experience with therapy and think a lot of therapists dispense advice that follows cyclical social trends. If you sense this, run. It took me a while to realize this. Also I think most people wouldn't need therapy if they ate right, exercised, had a half decent job and had a handful of close friends/a spouse they got along with. This might sound cynical but i think a lot of what people are missing can't be replaced by therapy. Some things can be resolved but most can't and you just have to be constantly improving as a person.

> Alternatives come along everyday for varied reasons

But they don't stick. Simply being an alternative is not sufficient to make a service better and very few people care about the fundamental difference between youtube and some website that serves videos that are IPFS references.

> And probably in the future no one will trust a company without some sort of auditable public blockchain ledger

Why? What undesirable action would youtube take that is prevented by having them reference a blockchain such that you now trust them? The core things that people don't like about youtube are

1. Making videos and channels unavailable on youtube.com

2. The recommendation algorithm

3. Google remembering your browsing history and later serving you ads based on their profile of your interests

All of those still exist even if all of the videos are instead IPFS references.

While I'd like to agree, I have yet to see a discussion on this topic on HN ever be insightful, or let me learn something new.

It seems like it always devolves into the same opinions, and people just become more dug in and increasingly vitriolic.

I'd love to see a solution to how that problem could be addressed, but if I had to put in a vote for "lowest quality discussions on HN" it would be on the "DEI battle" topics.
> so why are there still soaring case rates in the countries with the most vaccines?

Vaccinated people are not submitted to the same constraints (such as mandatory tests for accessing this and that) so carry the virus in more places favourable for transmission. They also don't worry as much about getting the virus (at the same time rightfully so and not rightfully so), so they give up on taking the precautions they took the previous year, and they also do not take a test when symptoms arise but remain light. All this unfortunately compensate for the fact that, individually, they are less subjected to spreading the virus.

Over here, when a vaccinated person tests positive, their pass is not even revoked :-/ Also, in order to promote vaccination, tests which were free have been made paying for non-vaccinated people; so as a perverse result, non-vaccinated people now test less, thus spread more too.

Basically, the current attitude (both individual and official) seem to imply that it does not matter any more to care about spreading the virus, so long as you are relatively/fairly protected against the consequences. I don't think this is going to turn well, but...

It is interesting to compare to using a credit card.

The net tells me that the average credit card in the US has an APR of around 16%. Credit cards typically charge no interest for a month if you pay your balance in full that month. If you don't pay in full they charge interest based on your average daily balance during the month and the length of the month.

If you were to pay with your credit card and then make 4 payments toward your credit card balance on the same schedule that you would have made Zip payments, I get that Zip beats the card if the purchase is over $487 and occurs at the start of your credit card billing cycle. It the purchase occurs in the middle of the cycle it needs to be over $811 for Zip to be cheaper. (This is assuming that in the month of the 4th payment you pay of the card balance completely).
> The Linux kernel retains the term "task" for "execution context"

This has historical roots from the first UNIX versions written for DEC computers. Even if the UNIX authors usually preferred the term "process", in the DEC documentation for their computers and operating systems the term "task" was always used for "process". So the term was also used in UNIX in various places.

> I don't remember any time that I wanted to join on a group of threads

This is not surprising, because there are many kinds of multi-threaded applications and many styles of programming them.

I do not doubt that what you say is correct for you applications, but my experience happened to be opposite. I have never encountered a case when I wanted to join a single thread, but I have encountered a lot of cases when I wanted to join any of a group of threads (e.g. for keeping a number of active threads matching the number of available cores) and also a less number of cases when I wanted to join all of a group of threads, typically at the end of an operation. The latter case is less important, because it can be done by repeating a join with a single thread, even if that is much less efficient than a wait that waits for all.

> are not part of the C or C++ language, but Windows system calls

This is precisely what I have already said in my first post, i.e. that standardized languages like C/C++ are forced to specify only the minimal features that are available on all operating systems, so they cannot include WaitForMultipleEvents, while PL/I was free of such portability concerns, so it could specify more powerful features.
Yes, absolutely. I do want to write about it, but there are certain aspects that I feel I can't until the situation is over, and that might be another 6 months, or as much as another 3-4 years.
Okay, even if it works (which is unlikely), what about the costs to society? Do the benefits outweigh those costs?

There are other things in life to worry about than slowing the spread of exactly one illness... is it worth continuing to put those on the backburner?

Seems like a bad take since we already know the vaccine immunity is reduced with time.
