No. That appears not be the situation. Immunity shortly after the thirds shot is substantially higher than shortly after the second

Aren’t the Bay Area and San Francisco fundamentally different things with SFO just being the largest city?

Do tech people even primarily live there? The big corporate HQs do not seem to be in SFO proper.
Create a bureaucracy that will still largely be corrupt (from one side or there other) and get things massively wrong?

I'm actually more for community tools to do moderation correctly and for content to be moderated by "people I trust" within the community. So for example if someone who I've marked as trustworthy on science reporting marks a science story as fake news it's flagged for those of us who have marked the flagger as an authority.

People will say you are just encouraging echo chambers like this but I actually think it's inevitable and we all live in echo chambers. Having your views challenged is extremely hard work that we don't always have time or the inclination to work through day to day. Everyone is watching a different movie.
> More to the point, virtually every senior member of Presidential administrations do this almost blatantly, big-D or big-R, doesn't matter.

This is the sort of cynical thing people say because other people say it. Spiro Agnew did it, sure. That was a while ago. What are your other examples? Since virtually every member does this, you should have hundreds. And remember you need a roughly balanced count of Republicans and Democrats. Obama was in office for 8 years. That should be quite a pile.

Pure cynicism is an argument against rules and accountability generally.
Sadly, no dedicated F-row. I would even settle for a subset of keys that aligned with the columns. I do not consider layers an adequate replacement.

Happy to see they are moving away from their own software configuration. Not a fan of the software interface on the Freestyle Pro. More than once I have gotten myself into a loop where I am unsure which function mode is activated and how to switch back to what I want.

I am still likely to get this once it is out, but still not the "end game" keyboard of my dreams.
I mean that’s getting into the point of being unnecessarily facetious.

If something is true from an empirical perspective that is one thing. It is another thing to say that even though we have been unable to form a conclusion from an empirical point of view, the ultimate ability to do so is given, and that all hypothesis that cannot be tested in such manner must be completely disregarded, even if they make sense.
If Facebook is demoting these stories you may never see them in the first place. Then you'll have nothing to fact check
I was going to call it “marketing.”

I am amazed to see people discuss what are essentially the marketing claims of a corrupt industry as if they had scientific validity.

Substitute the word “immunity” with “blockchain” or “Artificial Intelligence” and maybe more people would see through it.
No you don't. If you're in that position, you're a farmer, and your realistic alternative is to not raise them in the first place.

Your choice is to give them life and then slaughter them, or not let them live in the first place. Which of those is cruel, in your opinion? This isn't a trivial question.
You in fact have no idea how "innocuous" the Drata agent is. You know only what Drata tells you.

It would be grossly irresponsible for a contractor to rely on one client's assurances about what a third party told them its software did, and expose other clients' data to errors or abuse by that third party. Or their own personal data, for that matter.
I don't think your first paragraph support your second paragraph the way you seem to think it does.

I agree all smartphones today are Iphone in disguise, but it is not a fact that is part of common wisdom. Therefore, there is no direct cultural "dividend" for Apple, contrary to how we "know" Newton expanded on Galileo.

Also, but for a few wrong moves, Apple could have never enjoyed the "capitalistic" dividends of its forward thinking, embodied by a sky high stock price.
To be clear, I am not pondering whether it's fair or not. I am saying it must cause a few nightmares at night at least.

PS: I just found a quote from Steve Jobs dating from that time, and it seems he didnt take it lightly either.
"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong."[1]

I recently replaced the controller on my advantage2 to support qmk[0]. Using multiple layers lets me avoid the tiny rubber f-keys and move the arrow keys to hjkl along with a few other tweaks.

I wish kinsis would make qmk support a default option. Custom layouts and layers are just too useful for me to give up.

SF has always been a far worse place to live and work unless you are young and like nightlife and restaurants and lots of socializing outside of the office. Yes, SF has gotten worse because too many petty crimes have been de-criminalized which has lead to the rational decision of bad actors to commit many petty crimes.

Outside of SF, life goes on as it always has. The major crime issues are (a) catalytic converter theft which costs the victim thousands and (b) car window breaks to grab any visible bags because too many techs leave their laptops in a visible bag.

Housing prices have always been rising, traffic is always getting worse. It's annoying, but not new. Companies have always been leaving and new places are always touted as the new "Silicon XYZ." The Silicon Glen. The Silicon Prairie. Silicon Forest.

I'm old. All this has happened before. All this will happen again.
The "loophole" is that, for gifts of more than a token amount, it has to be a legitimate business expense--whoever is picking up the bill. Waiving a conference fee and covering some or all of the travel expenses to a conference, would widely be considered legitimate business expenses. Normally these would be picked up by my company these days if I had a business reason to attend an event and I need to pay for registration and travel. But conference organizers routinely waive at least the conference fees for journalists, analysts, speakers, and possibly others they want to attend.
There's not enough time in the day for you to "fact check" every piece of purported information you come across. You're also not an expert in all areas despite your Gell-Mann amnesia. At some point you're going to have to rely on some sort of external "fact check".
I just realized what bothered me about the article. It assumes the entire relationship between men and women is purely transactional. It is not. I just reread the article and the woman is a stripper. It figures.
There's no "our" here. America is not a hivemind - it's a collection of individual citizens with very different perspectives. Personally, I would be alright with the price of my electronics doubling in exchange for us cutting off all trade with China, but I suspect that many of my representatives might not feel the same way...
I think part of the problem is that compared to more traditional forms of engineering, software engineering is still really young and not as rigorous. Right now, _nobody_ can write code without any bugs it in whatsoever. If we banned people who wrote buggy code, pretty soon we'd have no software engineers left. Regardless of whether you think that's a good idea, it seems pretty clear that at the very least there is a lot of demand for programmers, so it's unlikely the industry would get behind limiting that further in such a drastic way.
We Don’t Have to Die
It was already really bad before the most recent push. It was bad in 2013 and nothing has been done since to fix it.
You spelled Minix wrong and told the story wrong.

Not the best way to make an argument against fact-checking.
I tried turning on IPv6 on my VPS server running Docker. Not knowing much about IPv6, I naively assumed it’d just work. Evidently not, and you either need to run a NAT service or your containers become publicly routable, both having major caveats that I didn’t want to deal with.

The notion that every endpoint has a globally unique address, with prefixes coming down from some upstream provider is just fundamentally incompatible with how IPv4 networks are designed today.
How do you know this wasn't their intention? You're assuming good faith.
Vaccines can last your entire lifetime, but their effectiveness decays over time it largely depends on the disease and your risk of infection. Booster shots for various vaccines have been common for example, it’s recommended people take a Tdap booster every 10 years, Tetanus every 4-6 etc.

The flu vaccine is a special case as it’s changed every year.
I didn't download the full report (pdf) but this news (?) article and the link to source (in the first line) don't mention sample size.
You really think the CDC and other govt and NGO organizations, as an international coordinated group effort, are in bed with pharma companies, plotting with them to falsify data and craft false recommendations, just so those farma companies can make more $$? I mean, I actually do think that pharma companies are vile, have successfully gained significant regulatory capture, and can influence policy through their own messaging and lobbying, but this wouldn't be influence, this would be coordinated and crafted disinformation across many many parties, most of whom don't work for pharma at all.

Honestly this theory seems like absolute crazy talk. Especially when perfectly reasonable explanations exist like the fact that immunity from vaccines wanes over time.

When given option 1 (crazy, complicated, far fetched, zero evidence) and option 2 (simple, makes sense, lots of independent scientific parties agreeing), and you pick options 2... ???? I'm confused about how you pick #1.
It sounds like you are calling me and my friends Nazis for wanting a more egalitarian Web?
Even then it’s only for tech savvy people. A ton of younger people are relying on “that one friend” to tell them about crypto and what/how to buy. I see it on my Facebook, even, kids I went to high school with who have no interest in finance asking for help.
How do you present novel ideas in this framework?
The reason is actually that it costs the factories more money to shut down and wait than to keep things running. So they keep producing cars and trucks without chips, and letting them sit in lots. I know this first hand with family and close friendships with folks in production management within General Motors, Dana Corp.
It seems to me that if you have a whistleblower account of some poor research practices for a vaccine trial, spreading it around Facebook to be commented on by random people who have no idea how to interpret it, probably isn't the best place for it.

I know that means publications like these which may have something important to add to the vaccine conversation, won't be able to have millions of "likes and shares"... but, who cares? Is that really such an important thing? Why is it so important for billions of random uninformed people throughout the internet to directly vomit out the first thought that comes into their head on topics like these?

I know I know, censorship, blah blah blah. I don't give a shit. To me, it's akin to somebody opting to turn off the comment section on a YouTube video that's bound to get a lot of heated debate. Just... publish your article, let actual news sites disseminate it, and do things the old fashioned way. That is, without the internet mob weighing in at every opportunity.

I know that the endgame of my argument is that Facebook would just be a site with cat pictures and status updates on what people are having for dinner. I don't care. That would be a world that is 100000 times better than the one we live in.
Yes, true. I should have chosen my words more carefully. While the technology is better in a number of ways and the result is incrementally better in this specific application, the incrementally better result is arguably not worth the technical lengths and costs it took to get it. And what is not redeemable is the enticement, see here: https://imgur.com/vCyJgRE
There's a lot of money in the Bay Area that's not tech money.

I would recommend this book to learn something about the situation there with regards to housing politics: https://www.powells.com/book/golden-gates-9780525560210

A lot of the problems got their start in the 70ies, with Prop 13.
Thank you! Though I agree with the sibling comments that it's probably not something to dabble in unless you're pretty confortable with this... May I ask, is this somewhat in your area of expertise, what kind of development do you do (supposing you're a developer?). Sorry if too inquisitive, just curious :).
Oh that jogs forgotten memories.
In 2018 Facebook "fact checked" a Babylon Bee article with this headline: “CNN Purchases Industrial-Sized Washing Machine to Spin News Before Publication”. (Babylon Bee is a humor site and clearly labeled as such.)

The original BMJ article doesn't draw any conclusions that I can see. It certainly doesn't suggest the Pfizer vaccine is unsafe or ineffective, as the "fact check" heavily implies.
It isn't just pharma companies saying the booster is needed. Your framing seems willfully misleading.

Zulip is the only thing I've seen recently that does better group conversations around particular topics better than NNTP and e-mail did 30 years ago. I've only used it for a few things since there are network effects around any communications technology but unlike slack or discord, I'm actually pleased when it's the communication medium of choice for a project.
> > I don’t understand what problem web3 can solve that a trusted entity cannot.

> The lack of trustworthy entities.

Note that trusted != trustworthy.

In security parlance a trusted entity is one you must trust, that can fuck you over (eg. 'Control' in popular culture, handlers in actual HUMINT, a bank that has your deposited money, etc.).

In that same parlance, trustworthy isn't really a thing. You can raise the cost of violating that trust in various ways (assets held by a theoretically disinterested third party with different incentives, reputational costs that foreclose future participation in the system, credible threats of legal action, etc.), but there isn't anything that you can do if the trusted entity is willing to pay that cost (or is unwilling to pay the cost of not violating that trust) to prevent the trust violation.

I had an Ergo way back, and it was a decent keyboard until something failed on the bottom row. I've since moved on to building a Ergodox in 2014 that I've been daily using since.

This model looks really slick, and adds a number of nice innovations to the form factor. I'd reconsider if my current keyboard wasn't so bullet-proof.
It is VERY different, come on.

It's an open conference offered by the largest player in the space vs. a shady deal between a supplier and ONE person of another company, without its employers consent, on top of that.
The university has disciplinary procedures, and referring the matter to that process is exactly the rule-of-law response that rule of law is intended for. The goal here is to respond in a way that defangs the CCP’s provocation.
That's a good point. Why is it you think that people on this site are so irrationally offended by crypto?
By default in a standard iOS installation, it's a convenience (one only unlocked after a PIN is input on rebooting). Individual apps may request access to FaceID/TouchID (not the raw data, but the iPhone's verification of biometric identity.) The user must whitelist the apps to use that permission, but a company could easily make their app not function if that permission is denied.
Any of them will allow you to build a complex system - vue, svelte, react and others.

It's more important to pick one and just get started with it. You can do some reading about how they're different or their different philosophies but they all work.

It's more important to get started. If you want to build something to learn a skill to get a job, react is the most popular. If you want to build something to learn something new, any of them are a good choice. Just get started.
It's weird to see this article reference the Justin Keller open letter and pretend that its intended purpose was to call attention to the problem of unhoused people with mental health issues in SF. As if his "heretical" act that attracted public anger was to point out an obvious injustice.

The actual text of the letter[0] argued that people who can't afford homes or who have mental health issues _don't deserve to live in the Bay Area_, and that he _does_ deserve it, because he has money. This is literally spelled out in his letter, not obliquely implied. It's this part of his opinion that got him in public hot water.

How do you propose that one solves this?
Just because someone can use something to destroy and hurt humanity or smaller or larger groups of people or living things... doesn't mean we should let those bad actors have their way by not using them for good, which is the whole point.

Listen to yourself. You are allowing MSM to manipulate the meaning of things in your mind.

You literally just suggested that fact checking in general is bad and should go away. I know you think that everyone is operating under the context of malicious/false fact checking, but that is my point: you all have undergone a paradigm shift in which you allow the meaning of words to change based on false flags and what mentally ill people are claiming is "fact checking".

Stop.

Everyone should be learning critical thinking and fact checking. Uneducated and vulnerable people need to understand this and see the difference between someone else doing it for them, and they themselves being able to see clearly what is happening to their lives.
> Does anyone understand why a third dose of the same vaccine improves immunity to Omicron?

From what I've read, 2 doses in 8-12 weeks is a small separation, as these things go.

A third dose 6 months after the second is not just a third revision of the lesson (metaphorically), but a more appropriate spacing to re-enforce it.
I'm from Austria and homelessness is a non-issue here.
There's 15k homeless in the entire country. [0]

I can't even remember the last time I saw a homeless person in Vienna, a city of two million people. The reason it's like that is because we fixed the systemic issues that plague the US. [1]

It's not my view of the world that's naive. It's yours that's overly cynical and that cynicism is holding your country back.

The sooner they mandate a third does the better. Not sure why this news would lower trust in the government, can you elaborate on that?
For a deeper dive on this theory take a look at:

The 'elites' control the narrative through propaganda censors like Facebook, Twitter and Reddit. Anything that doesn't conform to their predetermined agenda gets discredited, the author smeared, then eventually banned from posting. These are legitimate 1st amendment issues that need to be defended or what little freedom we have left will be boiled away like baby frogs.

So what I would say is, we've gone ahead and done a lot of the upfront investment of making Jets much more production-ready than it was a year ago. Pretty much every feature path a typical startup Rails app would hit, we've used in production with jets at this point (and in some cases had to get issues fixed, etc). We also sponsor the jets project at $1k/month, and have a great relationship with Tung, the creator of Jets. We're at a point now where we haven't had to get anything fixed for a few months, and everything is stable and working the way we want.

While we did have to spend some $$ to get things up to snuff (particularly so we could pass SOC 2), this pales in comparison to how much we would have had to spend to do devops and the usual server wrangling to get our use-case up and running in a typical elastic beanstalk sort of situation.

One area of difficulty was Oauth so if you ever need help implementing that in Jets feel free to reach out or read the public issue history of how we got it working.
The Linux Perf tool is pretty powerful. I've barely just scratched the surface myself.

I am assuming its something related to the magic fentanyl police keep spreading propaganda about, often with elaborate cosplay.

Police scare tactics (and the the scare tactics of the various—disproportionately right-wing extremist—snake oil peddlers police employ as consultants about the vast array of things they don't understand) often have very tenuous, if any, relation to facts.
They’re not different but SF is only one piece. Tech people live everywhere. SF got a lot more big tech companies in the past decade but the rest of the bay is chugging along too. To me it seems many people who moved out of SF moved to the east bay or north bay.
No it isn't and to my knowledge it never was. My previous cto seemed to believe this too but dealing with greater throughput can be handled in several ways and the first would be scaling your infrastructure. If you're using aws you can do this easily with elastic beanstalk, a load balancer and some triggers so that the system knows to create a new ec2 instance. The thing is tho your application would have to be built in such a way to support this. The more stateless your backend service the better for this and that usually comes down to session management. If you're using jwt and your backend doesn't keep any sessions your probs good. If your backend is keeping sessions then you need that centralized otherwise you'll have multiple instances using different session information and if your load balancer is directing traffic to instances on a round Robin or bases on based on throughput or something you'll end up with some confusing results on your client device.

So you have to do extra work to make a monolith scale but micro services doesn't have to be that extra work. Much cheaper to spin up redis and have all your backend instances use redis for caching sessions, etc then it is to split your app in to micro services.
I guess you present it off-site (your own blog or what have you), and use that presentation as source for the claim on-site.
