"if you do get infected then you are MUCH more likely to pass the virus onto other people"

No, that isn't the case. Studies have shown there's no difference in infectiousness or viral loads between the vaccinated and unvaccinated, and the original clinical trials didn't even measure infectiousness at all let alone reduce it.

But this hardly matters. Even if there was some small improvement in infectiousness, so what? Vaccines aren't free. They cause collateral damage: some people end up injured, other people end up dead. Given that the virus/viruses are endemic at this point there is no real benefit to reducing infectiousness by some percentage, as vulnerable people will (supposedly) end up getting it anyway no matter what.

Also re: morality. This idea that refusing a vaccine is selfishness is itself enormous selfishness. You are asking healthy young people who are not at risk of COVID to take a risk of getting sick from the vaccine. It seems often that people who push this "vaccines are moral purity" angle cannot really handle this fact and go into denial about it, but there are many such stories out there, and databases filled with reports of such injuries. When you are demanding healthy young people risk sacrificing their own health, just to make you a bit less scared or to give an 80 year old another 8 months of life, it doesn't look like any recognizable morality to me.

The "problem" is that, in Japan, Ghibli is much more than a studio movie. It's a profit machine for merchandise, books, and theme parks. You can't just let that fade away.

Disney itself went through rough patches, where the new generations either defected (Don Bluth) or disappointed. Ghibli started going through that; Gorō Miyazaki can keep the flame alive for the time being, but nobody is under the impression that he can take it to new and sunny uplands. The question is whether they can find somebody who can, in the way Disney got Michael Eisner. What they really need now is a successor to Toshio Suzuki who can attract new talent the way Suzuki used to do.

That is correct. In pan-India exams like the JEE and NEET, and even in high-stakes state-level exams, it would be impossible to cheat so blatantly.
That doesn't mean cheating doesn't happen, but it would require you to know someone in the examining body. And, they would be risking their careers and their liberty to help you.

Of course it's news. Governments are massively ramping up booster programmes specifically because of Omicron, and here are two doctors at the very same hospital who had it despite having had three shots. Note these are not "two random doctors separated in time by a large amount", they're two doctors who work together. Conclusion: booster shots do not stop people getting it or getting infected.

People flagging this thread are in denial. This is an event of direct relevance to the justification for government policies affecting billions of people, that's why Reuters considers it newsworthy.

What seems sad to me is it's not nearly easy nor popular to make and use themes which would style modern OSes to look exactly (or very close to) the OSes of the past. Once Windows XP arrived with its "visual styles" theming technology I thought the world will never be the same - everyone will be able to have their windows and controls looking whatever they like, just a matter of a mouse click (and a couple of bucks perhaps). In the reality, though, high quality themes (for any OS) seem weirdly scarce and making your own seems prohibitively hard.

This reminds me of the most amazingly archaic interaction I had with the Finance Ministry.

They notified me by post that I needed to provide them with some information on their online tool. Here was the process:
1) Go to link, fill in form with personal detailed. Print, sign and post.
2) Receive a login password via post after 1-2 weeks
3) Login and do the the thing they asked.

Honestly why bother with an online system, just send me the form and I'll send it back. Done.

Also, applying to universities here also involves sending NOTARISED copies of all your documents, via post, along with the application. I don't think I've ever in my life applied to university by sending a thick brown envelope.

This is an unsustainable position that will simply retard free trade, cause companies to refuse to hire people outside their home country, to the loss of everyone. It also breaks the moment two different countries decide they want mutually contradictory things (which happens all the time), and would result in people being forced to use non-innovative and poorly executing local clone companies instead of the best available services.

With pipes between threads, the OS is able to suspend the reading thread when the buffer is empty, or suspend the writing thread when the buffer is full, because the OS "owns" the buffer and the threads. With distributed systems connected via Kafka for example, there is no "process" overseeing both ends that can suspend or resume hollistically, so its difficult for producers to know and respond to back pressure.

Necessary for who? Those times saw a lot of poverty and suffering among the working class who had little choice in where they worked, while enriching only a small few industrialists.

Similarly today, I don't see a lot of combustion engine use as necessary. Average car trip is only a few miles and could easily be made by bike. If we had designed cities for people, with good transit and cycling/walking infrastructure, we would have far less pollution in our urban environment. But instead we made policies that maximised car and gas sales rather than maximise health and wellness, again to enrich the few at the expense of the many.

Their smearing of independent anti-war media is consistent. MPN, The Greyzone, and others have been disallowed as sources for very flimsy reasons: [0].

They backed up one editor at the highest levels, after people wised up that he edited Wikipedia an average of 30 times per day, every day, over 14 years; almost entirely making edits against left wing and anti-war causes: [1]

They've also literally destroyed someone's life, lied about it, and then patted themselves on the back for fixing the problem nearly a year too late: [2]

With regard to Irish national politics, I can attest that they leave out serious scandal information regarding the top two parties politicians, while leaving out important good stuff and including all sorts of bs about independent and left wing politicians; from what I've seen they do the same everywhere.

I think the clearest example would be the Gamergate page. Whole page being rewritten twice a day, conservative outlets being blacklisted as sources for not supporting the narrative while random blogs were fine, long time editors being banned from editing because they wanted it to be 'neutral', and a lot of users being banned for pointing out that a lot of the claims were not supported by the questionable sources.

For a more recent example that was posted on HN a few days ago: the proposed deletion of a page on mass-killings under Communism. Most of the arguments on the discussion page were from power-editors complaining that the page was "making Communism look bad" and that it was used for "anti-revolutionary talking-points". While the deletion is still being voted on, gives you an insight into the culture.

Not OP and don't have an example to hand, but something I noticed is that with subjects where I understand them well I do tend to notice a bit of a bias, but equally edits are usually accepted too.

The problem in my mind is that on subjects where I'm not as well educated I may well not notice the bias because I don't know what may or may not be disputed for a given subject matter.

Obviously everything on Wikipedia should be sourced but it's entirely possible to be selective of which sources you use.

I think of the coding challenge as a way to understand what kind of code can I expect from the candidate. Having seen many (from who we hire), helps me determine what kind of training I need for the team, what kind of standards need to be set to prevent some type of code and how can I expect the codebase to evolve.

It helps dramatically in determining the level of the person (junior, intermediate, senior, etc.). The level is subjective to the company, that's why it's important: definition of senior at one company is very different from the other. Notice that a coding challenge without a technical chat first is kind of useless though. Various strong developers would just write the shortest code to complete the challenge, instead of trying to show off, so you have to read between the lines.

A cool thing about this is that you can have an idea of the level of interest of the candidate.

Finally, isn't everything just signal? The entire goal is just to have many conversations so that by the end of it, we have a rough idea if we like each other and can work together.
NIST published a good paper describing blockchain, with a flowchart (Figure 6) to help people determine if it's a good fit for their use case:

* https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ir/2018/nist.ir.8202.pdf#p...

It asks a series of questions, and if you answer "Yes" to all of them then blockchain should be examined:

* Do you need a shared, consistent data store? (No: Consider Email / Spreadsheets.)

* Does more than one entity need to contribute data? (No: Consider database.)

* Data records, once written, are never updated or deleted? (No: Consider database.)

* Sensitive identifiers WILL NOT be written to the data store? (No: Considered encrypted database.)

* Are the entities with write access having a hard time deciding who should be in control of the data store? (No: Consider managed database.)

* Do you want a tamperproof log of all writes to the data store? (No: Consider database.)

All Yes: "You may have a useful Blockchain use case."
You have other reasons for why people don't do stupid shit and fuck around at work (like they would with friends or family)?

Sure there is also a bit of pride and sense of responsibility involved but shame and complications are strong drivers.
