How is 40% less likely to lead to 1+ day hospitalization “maximally menacing”?

I haven’t read this imperial college paper yet, but yesterdays preprint from SA has it at 80% less likely to lead to hospitalization, with some uncertainty as to whether that’s due to intrinsic lower virulence vs underestimated prior immunity

https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.12.21.21268116

Edit: read through a good portion of it, the methodology seems pretty reasonable, including definitions for infection/reinfection, inclusion criteria, the covariates included in the model. I’d say the biggest uncertainty factors are (1) it’s still early and there aren’t that many hospitalizations yet (the study period ended like a week ago) and (2) for their correction accounting for undercounted prior infections, they assume undercounting of 1/3 based on some other papers. Maybe that’s reasonable, I’m not that familiar with testing in the UK. But they report both corrected and incorrect results
not american, canadian, but it' hard to avoid it here, most people wouldn't tbe able to get a car, university education or home without some form of debt. It does have a very negative impact on our society I'll admit that

Not at all - imagine you have very specific medical reasons you can't take the vaccine. Do you want the world knowing you're unvaccinated in this political climate? Do you want to explain your condition to anyone who might be judging you for your lack of vaccination status?

> The US has relatively generous bankruptcy laws. Many people go through bankruptcy and rebuild their credit over several years.

It’s like saying that you don’t need seatbelts in the car, because you have good medical insurance.

USA obsession with credit is the root cause of the issue, and relatively generous bankruptcy laws are a smoke gun to keep the show going and make people comfortable with a system rigged against them.

Credit makes a lot of money for a lot of companies, and risk of customers bankruptcy is just a cost of business for them, designed carefully to ensure they still end up making money.
The problem with this reasoning is that in so many ways, the USA is very non-free and just a cultural meme.

You can get thrown in jail for: holding the wrong kind of plant; associating/trading with/helping a persona-non-grata or a person from the “wrong” country; speaking up about military misconduct; sharing a copy of music you bought with friends...

Sounds like it is true because of the word "fast" in fast fashion, but is it true? Is Shein really causing more fabric waste, plastic waste, and cost shifting of waste streams to developing nations than Old Navy or TJ Maxx or Pacific Sun or whichever cheap clothing stores was displaced by fast fashion outlets?
> you'll come to realise that everyone is so damn wealthy right now.

No, poverty is still rampant. Inequality is still rising. Rich people just need literally anything to blow their money on, as long as it's not actually helping poor people.
Does the term "expensive" really make sense for an infinitely divisible medium of exchange? Can money be more or less "affordable"? The more meaningful metrics are purchasing power and historical and expected purchasing power, and the confidence of that. By this metric, regardless of price, if it can realistically expect to have its purchasing power increase, then it is helpful to poor people for saving.

It's interesting to see how they introduce a new binary format in their catalogue. I was expected to find a domain specific language to define the grammar of binary bitstreams, maybe as a context free grammar. Instead, they built a nice library of routines that helps them design custom parsers by hand for each new format.

It's not clear how much this is just because apps from the very largest companies (FB, Google, Apple) tend to be free, and tend to have better accessibility.

I'd want to see a head-to-head comparison of similar apps before drawing any conclusions on whether there are any trends related to accessibility in terms of free/paid.
Agreed. Doing Advent of Code in Go and it is so verbose to do simple things like filtering. I agree that for loops can be easier to read, but when it takes 4 LOC to express what a 1 LOC filter function can do and you have 3+ maps or filters you need to do it seems far less readable because it is so noisy. Sure you can understand it, but it is a mess and takes too long to parse for the importance it actually has.
Prolog was once one of my favorite languages, back in the days of hand-coded rules for AI (and more to my interest, NLP). But AI has gone through several major changes since then. What is Prolog being used for today?
>Given how widespread word of this thing got, how could researchers possibly distinguish responses to their email that were from people who were not aware it was research, versus responses from people who had become aware what was happening?

By limiting results by time to anything received before everyone found out? It's pretty easy to set a time period for that. It has the benefit that people who find out will not want to participate or will complain.

>This data is the opposite of flawless, it is poisoned, and any attempt to draw conclusions from the responses they got would be junk.

Nope. Even just limiting it to 48hours would provide great data.

Have you seen any solid data about how unvaccinated individuals fare with omicron? I have been curious and it’s been hard to come by.

This preprint from yesterday suggests basically what you’re saying, that underestimated prior immunity could possibly be a confounding factor in the models used to assess relative severity. But even that is still unclear at present

https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.12.21.21268116

Edit: table 3 in the imperial college preprint addresses this, they estimate hazard ratio of like 0.6-0.7 for unvaccinated, relative to delta
Also the maintenance, the cost of which falls on the consumer while providing a pointless cash cow for legacy auto.

You can't really equate the rules that should apply to full democracies with those that should apply to partial democracies or totalitarian regimes.

There's no evidence the US has used NSO like tools to spy on the opposition (post Watergate, anyway).

Partial democracies or totalitarian regimes shouldn't be given these tools under any circumstances since they can't be trusted to only use them to investigate legitimate crimes. They will present some bona fide use scenario, then use the tools for other undisclosed purposes.

If NSO Group had an ounce of ethics, it wouldn't provide the software, but would request a dossier/brief which outlines, with evidence, the basis on which intrusion into the target device is sought. It would then have an agent carry out exploitation. Political "crimes" should be refused service.

Honestly, just count everything. My wife would make games out of counting white cars or VW Bugs or garbage trucks on the road.

Later, it transitioned into number facts. Our little guy was comfortable with basic multiplication in kindergarten/1st grade and seems to have a real intuitive sense of numbers. It was awesome when he “discovered” division on his own by subtracting.

What kind of additional financial education would you recommend? I think we are already doing a decent putting this info in front of our young.

I grew up very rural and solidly lower middle class. We learned to balance checkbooks in 8th grade, had an accounting class in 11th, and a “life skills” required course that taught about budgets, loans, interest rates, credit cards, apartment leases, and so on.

I am in my late 30s and everyone Ive ever mentioned this to was exposed to pretty much the same set of things before they left high school.
I didn't say poverty didn't exist. Inequality wasn't mentioned either.

I mentioned that the average wealth of a person is rising. Which is true. The only thing rising faster than it is housing.

>Rich people just need literally anything to blow their money on

Yes, because there are more of them. And less poor people. If you still can't understand, think of it not as a class system change, but a benefits to nearly-all classes addition.

I think Element is the only client doing this. So if you don’t care about E2EE, there are several options.

What’s the difference between a student loan that can be discharged in bankruptcy and a personal loan?

Sure, the student loan can only go to a school but neither has any collateral which makes them the most similar loan products. So go get any 18 year old to try to get a $20,000 personal loan without any credit and see what the rates are and if lenders would even give it to them.
Im not holding anyone responsible, im just mentioning that, it's obvious that a lot of the money flowing into crypto its not legal, this sets a clear example of how easy stolen money was washed using coinbase without much problems, its a clear indicator for the big picture, when exchanges like binance has 10x more volume, where do u think that money is really comming from? and that is actually happening on those exchanges with money flowing?
It's not a problem; it's an intense frustration. It is irritating to be told "here's a new message X" at your desk, only to see and hear the same notification "new message X" on a phone within a few seconds. Your phone even vibrates, as if to demand your attention and chide you for not acknowledging the message. It's an additional distraction when we're all short on time.

My previous work used a system which queued notifications for delivery. The logic was something along those lines:

- send notifications for urgent items, e.g. incoming calls, immediately to all devices
- if there are no active devices, send all notifications immediately
- otherwise send to all active devices st internally along with testers.

I ended up tweaking this; it took us a few tries to get it right. I'd be flabbergasted if Facebook messenger, iChat, discord et al haven't done something similar.

I bet screen readers love that
Because this means tens of millions of more dead bodies. So far, we have less than 300M infected on record with 5.3M dead. The real numbers are probably 5 times higher, i.e. a lot of people will die. Also, with the immune escape, those 300M are not greatly protected either.
I don’t want Apple to do client side scanning. But if they do it, I wouldn’t be getting off their ecosystem. At this point, its a total fiction of choice as a consumer...all my devices are Apple devices. I have a equitable choice for cellphone network providers. I don’t really for device ecosystems. It sucks but I also think that leaving Apple has a very high cost as a consumer; that the right solution may be through regulations.

Here's an easy one - is hard work racist?

Yeah. It is impressing that a single person could buy $150M crypto.

>If it turns out that there's no possible way of making a sustainable business in this space that's less-terrible than that was there before

This is a disingenuous response because this space is highly competitive and most of the big names in it have not gone out of business due to flagrantly breaking the law. Just because LendUp broke the law and went out of business does not mean there are no sustainable, legal entities operating in it.
Thank you for your reply but it doesn't contain answer to my question.
Disagree. I used Python heavily before Go, and Go is much, much easier to read. I've never seen Go code in any codebase I couldn't immediately follow. I can't say the same about Python, and that's supposedly an easier HLL.

Then again, I learned BASIC first technically, so my brain probably isn't quite right :).
I will make a video shortly indeed…

It’s javascript, the tool runs the Observable runtime.

https://www.observablehq.com

The main differences are:

- it’s an electron app: so no finicky browser problem.

- it runs locally: so no problem with CORS, private database, or local files.

- it saves files as text on your computer, not in a cloud you don’t own

- the layout is a 2d canvas with tabs instead of a notebook (cause I find notebooks don’t scale well)

- it’s got some templates nodes and simpler functions overall to create charts and tables.
Most anyone who has built a high-demand service has encountered issues exactly like this. Unusual activity places stress on a small piece of poorly optimized code that was never tested for it, and never considered because it’s never been an issue before. A fleet of hardware goes idle while the single lock spins.

Whatever personal issues you may have with the admins, it's extremely plausible that this issue was sufficient to cause an outage.

And yes these things happen at big tech companies and mature software products even when they have teams and testing frameworks specifically looking for them. A smaller project like this, I cut them a break.
Really excited for Wayland.

I’m confused about this. Isn’t the possession of a Covid passport a public declaration regarding part of one’s medical record? Let’s say your friends go out to do covid passport things and you always decline—they are going to know you are unvaccinated eventually and not invite you to New Years.

Why should we run a scan on ourselves? Why should we be treated as a criminal for doing nothing wrong? The solution is to vote out anyone who thinks this is a good idea. To not support any company who tries to implement this kind of technology. It is absurd to think people will give up their rights to privacy in their homes to accommodate this kind of idea. Encryption is math and won’t be stopped. People will find a way to hide what they need any any of these systems only effects the non criminal user. Also I have hundreds of pictures of my kids in the bath. I always try and not get their private parts in the picture but with my hundreds and millions of people potentially with the same numbers it really is not possible for a human to lay eyes on that many pictures. Also that would itself open up avenues for abuse say it was just an innocent picture of my kids butt their are perverts out there that will get off on this. They are private photos of my family enjoying their youthfulness in a bathtub and never will I consent to someone browsing my private photos. This just seems whack.

I’m talking about irreversible physiological changes caused by getting fat that don’t reverse after you lose weight. This is what makes keeping weight off after losing a bunch harder than maintaining the same weight if you’ve never been fat to start with. Things like damage in the hippocampus preventing normal leptin signaling. Once you’ve gotten fat, you’re pretty much fucked for life, even if you reverse the behaviors that got you there.

Besides the high-tech hype, there's also the economic absurdity behind all these proposals. The average American household already spends 1/6th of its income on (car) transportation. These VTOLs are cars on steroids, with even more modes of failure and imaginably more regulation. I assume they would do a ride-sharing / taxi business model, but even then... the average person won't be able to afford a ride in one of these because the average American can't even keep up with ordinary car payments.

It's depressingly comical to see these futuristic pitches when the reality is there won't be any customers left because the middle class will be completely gone in near time. People need to have money in order to spend it.
That's fantastic, I definitely hope it becomes a successful venture for you!

That's morally indefensible. Millions of people worldwide will die from omicron as you reach herd immunity. No one can deliberately choose to do that.
So wouldn't they build up less if everyone is infected with the same strain? And not the strain after 100 previous infections.
