Yeah, mostly lied about by the anti vax guys.
From a philosophical perspective, you're not wrong, but real life constrains us greatly.

Germany could theoretically disallow unvaccinated people access to their ICUs without trampling any rights. It would get messy.

Germans aren't fond of messy solutions. They are a very practical people, and they've decided to take a more practical approach (vaccine mandates) that might respect individual rights less, but also results in much less death for those very individuals and the rest of society.
Truth is, we have no idea about long term consequences from these novel vaccines yet, it's a pretty crazy experiment really.

4.29 billion people worldwide have received a vaccine

We've done a huge scale test -- it thankfully has worked -- and I'm not sure what evidence you are looking for at this point.

It mostly feels like the unvaccinated at this point are 1) cowards, 2) selfish, or 3) believe in some sort of voodoo. Not sure which is worse honestly.
I don't see anyone discussing the position of the head? I was recently taught that it is a much "closer" hug if you put your head to the right of the other person's head than to the left, since the hearts come much closer to each other. I've tried it since, and indeed, it feels more intimate if I put my head to the right.
The US was just like that before the environmental movement made it unacceptable a few decades back.
People who claim that "people don't understand exponential growth" don't understand it themselves, most of the time.

They're so proud that they can answer the question about what happens to the pond that is half-covered by sea lilies the next day but never think about what happens the day after that.

tldr: There is no persistent exponential growth in nature.
The only thing I mentioned that has anything to do with a study is the 3-6 month boosters.

The rest is my personal choice to not take a booster.

It looks like it possibly starts waning at 2 months. So if we're requiring everyone needs to be fully vaccinated with mandates then boosters start at 2 months to be safe. By that measure large portions of our population are not fully vaccinated at this point. No thanks...
Yes but unfortunately that doesn't really work for heavy applications today. That would mean like 50 independent memory-hungry firefox or IDE processes corresponding to every tab/file you might have open. The entire point is to decouple a window from the resources/host process that controls the window.
Not sure if your comment is sarcastic or not but I sit in the middle ...on the fence and there's no better bellweather then time ...long periods of time and it's data to make the best decision for me!
Your anecdote is also not data. It's entirely possible you would've experienced the same light symptoms even without the shots. After all, plenty of people who have contracted covid were completely asymptomatic.
Right. Even knowing the facts it's hard to not buy into the hype to some degree.

In the end, the only things I personally care about regarding the benefits of any vaccine are:

1) not having some horrible/painful/debilitating long term condition from getting sick

2) not dying

3) not spreading it to others

Even if the marketing said it would only prevent severe disease but you'd still catch it just as easily, I'd have still have been among the first to show up for the shot. Promising it as some panacea is going to leave people disappointed.

I can't grasp what mix of societal factors is causing the lack of will to be vaccinated. The two best cases for widespread support of vaccines that I can think of are Smallpox and Polio. Smallpox was a worldwide effort to eradicate a disease that had been a scourge on society for a thousand years. The wealthy countries of the world sent doctors to every corner of the Earth to vaccinate people to ensure its eradication.

"Normal" smallpox killed 1 in 3, the rarer hemorrhagic form killed >90% of those infected. The survivors also faced a lifetime of hardship from damage it inflicted.

Polio had a fatality rate of 2-5% in children and 15-30% in teens and adults. Of all the cases, 1 in 200 had permanent paralysis.

I just don't get it. No one is dying horribly of measles, mumps, rubella, typhus, diphtheria, polio, smallpox, etc. because of vaccines and antibiotics. It's almost like COVID's lethality is at a magic point where most people are extremely concerned about it, but it's low enough where doubt persists because people aren't keeling over in the streets.
Even on earth we have interactions between explorers and natives that have been confusing.maybe they want us to know we are there but don't want to scare us. Maybe they aren't wise and organized govts but some random person from an advanced spacefaring civilization. We don't know if the us or chia or Russia developed something new. It's not inconceivable it could be aliens.
Also 40-60% is a big margin. Is that Covid ICU beds, or total ICU beds?

What percentage of ICU beds are treating strictly Covid patients? My understanding is that it's <50% most of the year. I don't have a source. Does anyone?

~73% of people in Netherlands are fully vaccinated.

If this is all ICU beds (and not just Covid ICU patients) - then you would expect 73% of x% (where x is greater than 50%) to be fully vaccinated patients.

Therefore, you're still in a world where unvaccinated patients are 9-10x more likely to be in an ICU bed. But you get this "data point" anti-vax people can spread that "It's actually the vaccinated people clogging up the beds!!"
I have the same gut feeling, but have come to the opposite conclusion: Being good with computers will be very low on the list of meaningful skills once things really start to break down.
More money and better shifts and not firing unvaccinated would fill the gap.

IMO it all went down the toilet with 10 and I don't see the next "good" release ever happening again.

8 and 8.1 were the last death throes of decent design, and then they started making a mess of everything in Windows 10. Not only didn't they reverse it with Windows 11, they doubled down on it when they had a perfect chance to rebrand with a "back to the classics" comeback to Windows 7-like UI without backlash.

Their trajectory is locked in. Barring a miracle and re-prioritising on their users, "good" Windows releases are dead forever. Looking forward to the LGR Retrospective on "Windows 7, the last good version of Windows" in about 10 years time.
I had an algorithms class (6.006 or 046?) with Silvio Micali, who I learned partway through the semester was one of the first authors about these things.

Anyway, he was a great professor. When talking through algorithms, he'd always start with say, an n^4 solution. Then cut it down to n^3, call on people to help out, etc. I remember it being something like this (in an Italian accent that we really enjoyed)

"And now we're at n^2! Pretty good you might think eh? After all, we were at n^4 just a few minutes ago, this is much better? But, the human mind is a wonderful thing! It is so creative and some people thought about it, and they got n log n! Amazing. I know you are thinking, n log n is always as good as it gets in this class. Well I don't want to go into the details because, it is horrifying! But actually some people, they did even better! And you know as I said, the human mind is amazing! So maybe one day, you will do even better."

Also I sat across the aisle from him when Eliezer Yudkowsky came for a talk and only realized it when he answered a question EY asked the audience.

This kind of turned into me reminiscing but my point is, the guy who put these out there and did a lot of work on them is a great undergrad professor and that makes me happy.
The same decision (Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 1905) is what allowed the Eugenical Sterilization Act of 1924 and to force the sterilization of the undesirables.

If a law would be proposed today to disallow covid-unvaccinated people from having children, I bet you a good number of leftists would agree with it.
I looked at it again, it's only comparing to the average, without knowing the standard deviation it doesn't really say much. "2020 was above average" yeah we know that, but was it higher than a "usual" year? No it wasn't, and you can't draw that conclusion by comparing it to the average.

Also it looks like they are doing the comparison month by month which doesn't make much sense since this will vary a lot of course...

Honestly this is great.

You can continue to be unvaccinated, but you shouldn't be able to fly across country, be in large groups / large events, or otherwise and put us all at risk.

You should be at home.
Code density is about requiring the least amount of bytes of code to get something done, on average.

No, different virus structure. I believe there may be some possibility of gene swapping with a coinfected cell, but much less than flu - the Covid RNA genome is one long string, as opposed to 8 bundled together - it's easier to mixup separate pieces. Furthermore, Covid does have an error correction mechanism, though not perfect hence the mutations.
Having maybe less than double typical human lifetimes to exploit their work means "what's the point?"

We are in a situation where there is no incentive to create new creative works because you can just exploit a dead person's stuff that's become popular until the end of time for your audience.

Or it’s a meaningless gesture meant to appear to be doing something because it’s visible but only annoying people and building opposition for something otherwise quite important.

It makes you feel good if you already like it, but really builds an easy win for opposition by demonstrably doing nothing of substance while making life a little more unpleasant. In other words it serves only to be divisive and give an opportunity for people to have strong opinions about something irrelevant; which is actually the point of much of politics, cement your support base by getting people riled up about inconsequential and thus risk free issues.
Why does ARM need to be acquired by someone? If Softbank wants to unload it why can't they do an IPO?
There was once a time (and still some places) when religion played a role in regulating other aspects of society, like dietary regulations. Nobody says "keep religion out of my kitchen" when the local health department insists that you don't cross contaminate other foods with utensils used on raw meat.

Just because we used to regulate these ideas with religion in the past doesn't mean that our current institutions are religious. Some people who are legally married also subscribe to religious meanings of marriage. Some people who have food handlers cards also follow religious food customs. They're related but independent concepts in the modern day. The modern legal construct of marriage in the US is secular.
I find it exhausting that people such as yourself seem to latch onto missed time frames as a reason to just assume all public health policy is bullshit. Yes, because when I say I'm going to finish some software project in 2 weeks, I absolutely always get it done in 2 weeks.

These are estimates. They are sometimes (often!) wrong. Sometimes they're wrong because the problem was underestimated. Sometimes they are wrong for political reasons.

Yes, "flattening the curve" took more than 2 weeks. Big deal. Doing so did absolutely reduce pressure on ICUs and saved many lives. And hell, if everyone had actually followed all the mandates and guidelines at the time, maybe it would have only taken two weeks. But people don't, and it's always hard to gauge how many people will refuse to cooperate, and in what ways, and exactly what effect that will have.

The reason the goalposts are moving is because this isn't a well-defined game with strictly-set rules. The virus doesn't care about our rules or projections. If it mutates, and the new variant does better against our vaccines, then... yes, the goalposts will move. Our utter failure to get high vaccination rates in poorer countries is likely a big cause of the new variants. It's all well and good to be sitting in a highly-vaccinated city in the first world, but all it takes is one person to fly in from somewhere with a new variant, and you're hosed.
Because, sadly, we know that's not true anymore.

Should and must are very different things. One implies I get a choice to opt out. One implies some sort of coercion.

I don't buy this phrasing, or the rule. Even if read with best intentions. I can't even imagine how ridiculously bad US would be if it was actually ruled based on what 70% of the population wants.

I am not even joking. I think you may want to rethink your argument.
I have 15 years of reloading competition rifle ammo. But, ok, your opinion that longer barrels are better and rifles are more ergonomic is something I’ll really have to consider.

I’m glad we can agree that the actual differences between rifle and pistol ammunition matter “too”.

EDIT: Also your example is… not good. Almost all 9x19mm handgun ammo is going to have max potential in a 8-12” barrel. A 16” is doing next to nothing. All a longer barrel is doing at that point is introducing worse harmonics for a negligible difference in muzzle velocity, probably not even noticeable outside of the standard deviation. It was a good example for giving me insight to your background on this topic.
"Even in an emergency, when there is a rapidly spreading contagious disease and an effective vaccine, the state is not permitted to forcibly vaccinate or medicate anyone."
>I really start hating my country and fellow citizens, so many spoiled brats living in prosperity, complaining about everything, believing in total bullshit, it is unbelievable.

So what do you think getting 100% of humans is going to do, especially since the virus is carried and transmitted by animals too? You aren't going to wipe it out.

And for the vast majority of the population - especially those under 60 and without any co-morbidities the chances of COVID requiring hospitalization, let alone ICU admission is negligible. At worst equal to the flu. Yes, for the vulnerable COVID is not good - but that's hardly unique to COVID too.

So not sure where YOU get off casting aspersions that anyone who doesn't get the vax is selfish - there is ZERO to back that up and rhetoric such as this is the yellow star of David crap reborn in modern clothing.
It's called "illusion of control", most prominent example being rain dances.
My basis for that claim? It heavily penalized legitimate account holder when they don’t offer a venue for account recovery.

>>> Give everyone 2 months of salary, and 2 months of food. Nationalize food production for a month, give everyone shelf stable terrible food, the same crap that the majority of the anti-vaxxers have been hoarding for decades.

> Utter insanity. Who told you a "real" lockdown would stop the virus? Where did you get this "fact" from?

It stands to reason. An extreme lockdown as described will cause a virus to go extinct provided: 1) animal reservoirs are insignificant, 2) the immune system can clear the virus within the lockdown time, and 3) people actually comply.

Exceptions to 2 & 3 can likely be dealt if the lockdown is paired with and intensive testing and contact tracing program.

All of these things are likely true, because China and other countries have actually been successful at maintaining a Covid-zero policy (at great cost).
It's 30% of the whole population, including small children who cannot get vaccinated at all.

My younger son (14 years old) is not vaccinated. He will be banned from entering shops, probably from playing tennis, and our family will not be allowed to meet other families this winter.

The reason why he is not vaccinated is that in Germany he would get the same amount of vaccine as a 150kg person. In the UK and Sweden they only give one dose to minors, not so in Germany. He is healthy, and does a lot of sports, so for him I see a higher risk from the vaccine (myocarditis) than from COVID-19.

Also, the federal vaccination commission (Stiko) has explicitly demanded that there should be no social discrimination for minors based on their vaccination status as a condition for recommending the vaccines for 12 to 17 year olds. We trusted this recommendation.
That is just an excuse though. Figure it out. It’s an emergency. You don’t get to throw up your hands and say it’s impossible. Figure it out. It’s been two years. Where is the hospital capacity to manage this huge emergency?
I don't think it's the US strategic interest for Nvidia to own ARM. International corporations don't have any particular loyalty to the country where their corporate HQ is located, and fewer semiconductor companies just mean higher prices and fewer choices. Also the acquisition would accelerate movement by Nvidia's competitors away from ARM. The only pie that is grown by merging two successful companies is the wealth of the stockholders, everyone else is worse off.
How is it sinking, though? It's not getting improvements, but that's a very different thing.

Agreed. We should revise that process through new regulations and modifications to the existing system.
> Including the vaccinated, who can still spread it

True, but when vaxxeds spread to other people who are vaccinated, nobody dies. It’s the unvaccinated who endanger themselves (their problem) and others (society’s problem) with their unwillingness to help. We should isolate the unvaccinated for their own protection.

> Saying that people don't have a right to spread the virus is disingenuous.

Try to deliberately infect someone with a disease such as AIDS, HPV, or smallpox and let me know what the law says about that.

> You can only make personal decisions about risk you are willing to take.

You can’t, for instance, drink and drive. It’s not your personal decision the moment your decision endangers others.

> To force other people to do things to make you safe is not a right.

Someone who insists in DUI and kills people regularly will end up being forced to live in a prison.
You do you. But when you're talking to others people listen to you to the extent that your observations and conclusions reflect reality, not just ideals. Just explaining what should be is the equivalent of the "biz guy" who only has ideas, not the skills to execute.

> There is no objective observation.

This is a thing you can believe in. But if you do it will very much make it more difficult to relate. Striving to be objective is a very valid and worthwhile thing to work towards. Throwing your hands up and saying it's impossible is ultimately worse. I don't know you, but I'd be willing to guess that your "unbiased, descriptivist bent" was rather overly rational. HN gets hyper-rational and rewards that frame of mind, to the detriment of the community.

What I mean by working to be objective is to work to understand subjective, emotional states of mind. Emotionally, we want the world to be a certain way and when it's not, we become irrational, in ways that are actually rather predictable when you can reflect on them.

Objectivity is earned when you can understand not only the logical aspects of the world, but also the subjective ones too.
Yeah when somebody says something like 'deeply embedded' the platform that comes to my mind is the Dreamcast VMU, which has a cpu that doesn't (AFAICT) yet even have a C compiler.
