Inefficiency
At this point, does anyone believe we’ll get back to normalcy? What’s the path?
I tend to agree. If you weren't one of the rare ones that got a severe side effect from the first two jabs like heart inflammation or neurological issues, the likelihood of you getting that from a third jab might be lower than average.
But it is not evidence for seat-belts working as intended or promised either.
Awesome! Thanks! Checking it out now.
If it were the opposite, that they didn't believe a third dose of their vaccine was effective, do you believe they would still be making the same announcement?
And at half dose of Moderna is still larger than a full dose of Pfizer
Hey! FastAPI author here. I do have a bunch of issues and PRs to review across the projects. But as I personally review and in most cases fine-tune and update each one of the PRs (if you check the history, almost no PR is directly merged, most of them require updates) it's taking me a bit to handle them all, but I'm on it. I even changed my working structure to optimize for more open source. Sadly, new issues and new discussions like that one linked asking why the other issues are not solved, don't really help, as they just add another issue for me to read and take care of. I'm also prioritizing the work that can have the most impact. For example recently I was helping a bit with AnyIO and Trio, as they are used underneath by FastAPI. And now I'm working on something for Pydantic, that would be used by SQLModel and FastAPI.

If you want to see faster progress, there are several ways to help, they are all documented here: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/help-fastapi/

One of the things that consumes time the most is handling issues by others. If you go and help them and they close those issues, that's a lot of minutes (in some cases hours) that you save me, and that I can then dedicate to review the other issues and PRs.

>It's like a hedge fund manager giving public advice on stock picks.

Why not? Stock picking is their job. Given that logic, a teacher shouldn't tell people how to teach their kid to read, and a plumber shouldn't tell people how to change a faucet.
>The poorest person alive in a first world country today lives better than the richest 100 years ago.

What? Not even remotely close. John D Rockefeller was shrouded in wealth about 100 years ago. If you think the poorest, homeless person now stuck on the streets lives better than Rockefeller did, you're confused.

Do not conflate general human progress of what's available with more knowledge, science, and basic technology with what a time period normalized standard of living looks like. You can't attribute economics directly with progress (it is a factor but not the only factor), otherwise you could very easily make a valid argument for an authoritarian government and economy like you see in China. China is arguably just as technologically advanced as the US.

Now your middle income American might be considered as living better than Rockefeller depending on how you define quality of life. They have all the essentials they need to survive and access to more progress than Rockefeller did during his time period. They also have significantly less free time and less resources to explore the current space of possibilities whereas in the early 1900s, someone like Rockefeller had access to anything they wanted to do during that time period.
Lately I have been feeling like I'm in a dystopian fiction. This is corporatist propaganda, plain as day. How do you all not see it?
I think their point is just be mindful Pfizer is heavily incentivized to push for more and more boosters, if there's even a marginal benefit then they will advocate for more boosters (more $$$).
What you're doing is providing liquidity to earlier investors and taking on their risk, that's absolutely your money doing something. Without this, investing in an IPO would be a much more risky endeavor.

I'm ginger, as white as can be without being albino. I got a second degree burn on my shoulders through a t shirt. It was field day at school, spent 8 hours in the sun with nothing on my shoulders except a cotton T. Literally had dozens of bubbling blisters. SPF 7 for me means about an hour tops, not 8 hours.
What do you mean by alignment being probabilistic? If you mean that some reads align faster and you could game the system, then perhaps we should tie the system to hospital based verification of the input data.

Ie, hospital publishes sequencing data (perhaps using fully homomorphic encryption to keep this very sensitive data private), someone aligns it, someone (or the hospital) verifies it, aligner gets paid coin.

The verification of the alignment being easier than the alignment itself is analogous to blockchain verification being easier than actually signing a block, right?
The vulnerable can and should seek out this protection without asking the healthy to risk vaccine injury. Herd immunity is impossible to achieve in a virus that can migrate in and out of animal reservoirs.
It would also be great if they could cut deals with "pro" electronics distributors here in Europe. None of their current distributors are able to ship very fast.
> it is not what reiki is about

I guess I'm more concerned with what it actually _is_ than what it is _about_. I can't see how the sham reiki was performed, but if the finding is that comforting touch in a Reiki fashion promotes healing and relief, then great.

It's like saying, we're not Agile, we just have our developers constantly talk to our end users, and release code multiple times a day.

> wages have stayed the same while housing, medicine, college, have gotten massively more expensive and & via inflation everything else is somewhat more expensive

Which country is this where inflation affects everything except wages? Are you sure you're not comparing inflation-adjusted wages (where it's not surprising if they stay mostly the same) to nominal prices affected by inflation?

> I honestly find it absurd to suggest that we're somehow 'richer' while most young people have no hope of a stable life.

If most young people had no hope of a stable life before and then everyone got richer, so that more young people can hope to have a stable life, it can still be the case that most young people have no hope of a stable life. The only way "most young people have no hope of a stable life" could contradict "we're somehow 'richer'" is if there was a time when most young people could hope to have a stable life, and then things got worse. When was that?

> Technology has made us much more productive but all that added value has been captured by the ultrarich.

When people communicate over long distances today not by sending a letter but by calling each other, they're benefiting from technology without the added value being captured by the ultrarich. (Unless you think their mere existence sucks all joy out of hearing your loved ones' voices.)
What are you basing this on? UK data for instance shows the percentage of vaccinated covid cases is similar to the percentage of vaccinated people among the population, suggesting that vaccinated people are just as likely to catch it as the unvaccinated.
Yep, but those are actually Frequently Asked Questions, what I cannot bear is the use of FAQ (and their page) on a brand new site, where there has not been time enough for any "real" question to have been asked by the user.

It is only a (poor) literary form and since they are (mostly) prefabricated, they are either unneeded/duplicated (as the topic is properly explained in the main site/docs) or actually showing that the original text/docs/instructions are not clear enough (and since the Author has control on those, they could be rewritten/amended/corrected to make them more clear).

And - more correctly - they should be FGA's:

Wonderful Radiolab episode about Charles Bliss, creator of Blissymbolics:

Yeah, myocarditis is a myth anyway.
Vaccination. Why it doesn't seem to be working is that not everyone is getting vaccinated and there are pockets where the numbers are even lower. EVERY single study shows the likelihood of hospitalization and death is much higher in unvaccinated individuals, why is this hard to understand?
So you're saying no company ever should undertake any promotion of the benefits of their products? The advertising industry wants a word with you!
Unfortunately not everyone can take the vaccine.
The proper fallback is costly both hardware-wise and in development efforts. It can be cheaper just skip it and tolerate occasional service unavailability.

Uhh what? Isn't it's largest target cloud/server distro deployment?

Uhh for me cacerts updates what twice a year? Certainly it's a lot easier for me to keep it updated on ubuntu than rhel/centos.

>Their apparmor configuration lags behind, ... whatever is good they usually inherit from Debian.

Apparmor and SELinux are objective failures for the most part. The entire point of snap/flatpaks is to hide away the nonsense configuration in favor of an actual permission model. I would say snaps are actually enabling apparmor to be used and enforced unlike the generic apparmor profiles generated.

>Jason Donenfeld, the creator of Wireguard said about Ubuntu on the latest¹ SCW podcast:

What specific aspects is he referring to here? Wireguard has been baked into the kernel. I can understand packaging updates being a mess, and updating universe/lts but that is problematic for every Linux OS out there.

This is precisely why snaps were introduced. You now have apparmor/seccompf enforced permission model and an easy way for developers to directly push to multiple Ubuntu versions without having to worry about OS compatibility.

It feels as if 5 similar articles reach the HN top page every day like this. The same arguments are made, the same rebuttals are made, the same comments are made ad nauseam, every single time, with no apparent conclusion. Are we officially living in a simulation? What's happening?
I have a few relatives in the medical field (all vaxxed and boosted) that have explained the booster shot is just more of the same stuff - they haven't had time to make a new recipe.. so isn't this just the same study all over again? i.e 2 shots had high protection in the beginning and waned over time. Can we expect the same from the booster shot?
According to this source https://www.statnews.com/2021/02/02/comparing-the-covid-19-v... the original Pfizer dose was 30 micrograms of vaccine, while Moderna's was 100 micrograms.

If that is correct, then Moderna's booster would still be more vaccine (50 micrograms) than Pfizer's original dose.

Of course more is not necessarily better!

Permanent loss of smell/taste is not a thing, and how would you even demonstrate it? The disease is merely 2 years old, after all.

Disinformation like yours doesn't help anybody, and makes discourse about covid more contentious than it otherwise would be.
Also, "neither_color" does not know enough to make that judgement - NO ONE knows that because the data simply does not exist.

Hospitalization and death are severely lagging indicators - no one knows how deadly it is in what populations.

This is about as stupid a sentiment as HR directors demanding applicants have 10 years experience in [New_Language] two years after it is invented.

> It's more about giving preferential treatment, power, or advantage to the wealthy

"trickle down" is a slur against a set of economically liberal policies. It's not a "theory". It's not an economic model. And it's certainly not well-defined. It would be like arguing against "revolving door" sentencing, which is another slur.

Point being, anyone who uses the term "trickle down" is advocating some sort of propaganda, and tuning them out or calling them out for being propagandists is the best course of action. Being on the guard for these markers of propaganda is important in today's media environment, where so often advocacy masquerades as both news and science.

That does not mean that underneath all these political slurs there aren't useful debates about, for example, what is the right tax rate on capital income or property taxes. Should we increase or decrease business regulation, etc.

Those are all good discussions to have, but unlike the slurs, they are actually nuanced and people who approach them understand there are trade offs not simply reducible to "trickle down" or "revolving door". Therefore the goal of these slurs is to reduce thought. To eliminate nuance and to hide painful trade offs. To make it seem like there is one simple, obvious, correct solution to what is, in fact, a complex issue with no obvious solutions.
I also don't understand its security model, at this point also speaking about automatic message deletion it seems to me they have been over-optimizing something. XMPP messengers have encryption, can even support forward secrecy and don't keep messages among other features. Since Smartphones are anyway not the most secure platform, it makes little sense to provide a completely sealed off messenger on top of that.
I'm not. Taking the last available data point which is 24 Sep 21:

Unvax 80+ - 28 deaths
Double-vax 80+ - 243 deaths

What does that mean? It lools like more die with a double-dose. Is that not correct?

I'm not talking about libertarianism in the context of American politics. Liberal and libertarian have similar (or even the same) meaning in political philosophy. The basic idea is that they view freedom as non interference.
The real question is how this translates to actual protection against serious disease. These increased responses sound impressive but, beyond some threshold, additional response offers only negligibly better protection.

Do we know what those thresholds are?
Some places are already completely back to normalcy, like many red states. Normalcy comes from accepting the virus and going back to life as normal; there's not a single place that's achieved normalcy by bringing covid rates down to zero.
You're right. Pfizer, unlike Ferris, has a courts-affirmed history of illegally promoting its products.

There are also smaller cases as well.

Yeah, death is not the only consequence. My friend could barely walk for 6 months after covid and I don't think he's fully recovered even now (1+ years later). Healthy and in his 30s. My mother had a severe cough for months after covid. Neither was severe enough during the infection to be hospitalized.

Most western countries have equal or higher number of foreign born citizens relative to the US without having American levels of inequality. Remember that Europe e.g. is closer to areas of major conflicts such as the middle East and Africa which produces a lot of refugees.

Americans like to talk about how dirt poor Mexico is, but it is actually richer than plenty of Eastern European countries. Not to mention pretty much all of Africa, which sends refugees and illegals across the Mediterranean.

If you look at income mobility across different countries you will find that the US has quite bad income mobility. The US ranks below old class societies such as Britain.
The second dose I got had me unable to work or really do anything for 24 hours so if you aren't even willing to consider that I can be on the fence for legitimate reasons then I don't know what to tell you.

There is no indication that this would be the final dose.

Trickle down is true. A McDonalds worker in a rich country earns much more than a McDonalds worker in India. You get paid more the more those around you get paid even if you yourself don't become more productive, that correlation is a fact.

Trickle down is the natural state of things, USA just prevented it from doing so. By importing low skill labor/exporting low skill jobs, making unions hostile to workers and not keeping minimum wage up it made less trickle down. Change any of those and trickle down would have worked, if workers had better legal support for effective worker friendly unions like Europe then they could get their rights themselves, if low skill jobs exceeded supply of low skill workers then pay would go up naturally, and if the government mandated a minimum wage so unions don't have to then it would have the same effect as a union. But USA went against all of those and ensured that money wouldn't trickle down.
It's a good question. If you Google it, the first page of results has articles reporting different reductions depending on the study, number of doses, and manufacturer. The range of results from a quick glance at a few of the articles is between 11% and 71% reduced transmission.
Yeah OP or mods please update the flamebait title.
Perhaps I flew off the handle. Partly due to being flagged with no reply!
I was responding to the parent's remark that "any tax cuts are trickle down?". As I mentioned, tax cuts on the wealthy pushed as wealth generating mechanisms for the lower classes is the literal definition of "trickle-down economics". Furthermore, who is saying the Dems never push the "trickle-down" argument themselves?
Yes. Natural immunity is far superior and early treatment with simple, safe drugs like ivermectin and fluvoxamine quashes any long covid concerns.

That's the beauty of a good scientific study: you do not have to trust the author. In fact don't, the more people try to find errors the better.
Something else to consider is that while a person may die while having COVID-19, it does not mean that is all that they died from.
People in general may have several health problems, which is especially likely for an 80+ year old person.
Some healthcare activities have also been postponed since the outbreak, by the patients and also the hospitals, which may have led to less healthy people.

BioNTech distributes directly in Germany for sure. Also as far as I know in all European Union countries, because they basically bulk-ordered their vaccine supply together (though the deliveries are individually split up to each country).

But in the end it shouldn't matter anyway from a financial perspective, since BioNTech and Pfizer have a 50:50 split agreement on all costs and revenues related to the vaccine. That agreement should nullify any possible influence of distribution region assignments on the financial results.
